In the midst of the explosion, Feng Bujue … won.
This was undoubtedly a narrow victory …
The reason why Qiu Fengse lost was that he died half a second earlier than Feng Bujue.
Yes, not only did JUST _ WE kill Qiu Fengse, it also blew up Brother Jue.
In fact, not only did it kill two players, but it also destroyed the entire battlefield.
… The entire battlefield.
The center of the explosion was the point where Qiu Fengse's fist came into contact with JUST _ WE. As for the limit of the explosion … it was impossible to calculate. If it wasn't for the barrier at the edge of the battlefield, who knew how far the explosion of light would have spread.
It was worth mentioning that this explosion revealed a piece of information that no one had discovered before — the "shape of the battlefield."
As the energy released by JUST _ WE destroyed everything, including the ground and the air, it continued to spread and fill up the entire space … In the period before the light energy dissipated, if the audience pulled their field of view to a very far place to observe (or watch the video), they would be able to see a capsule-shaped, upright, luminous object in the dark void … This was the external outline of the battlefield.
Of course, most people didn't care much about such details. The next day, the major media didn't mention this matter in their reports on the game.
Entertainment media needed traffic. Without traffic, they didn't even have the right to "talk with money." Instead of working hard to write a bunch of professional or technical articles that were stingy with details, it was better to write an eye-catching headline … Even if the content was meaningless, full of mistakes, or obvious signs of "receiving money to make a statement", it didn't matter too much … As long as it could attract people to click on it, it would be a success.
To sum up, the next day, the most popular report on the game was titled — "Abominable! Lunatic! Feng Bujue actually used a nuclear bomb in the face of an old friend's battle. "
…
"Hmph …" Feng Bujue returned to the spectator space. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and smiled with a rather smug expression. He said to his teammates, "Did you see that? I won easily."
"Do you have any shame?" When Miss An heard this, she immediately ridiculed, "You clearly threw out a tool to perish together with your opponent when you were on the brink of death and won by a fluke, okay?"
"That's right … He clearly had many ways to win, but he just had to show off his' triple transformation '. In the end, he almost lost." Ruo Yu nodded in agreement.
"Tsk …" Feng Bujue was still as stubborn as a duck. "What do you know? These were all strategies! Strategy! You will understand in the future. "
Obviously, none of the six people present believed his excuse of "forcibly finding a reason to save face". Even Xiao Tan could only smile bitterly.
However, what Feng Bujue said … was actually true.
During the match, when Qiu Fengse asked him why he had to use this tactic against him, Brother Jue didn't tell the truth, but his shameless answer convinced Qiu Fengse and the audience.
After the match, when he was ridiculed by his teammates, Feng Bujue explained his true intention, but no one believed him.
As a person, it was really difficult for others to "see through" him even if he wanted to.
…
[The match will begin in 30 seconds.]
Although the system took a long time to repair the battlefield, it was still completed within five minutes. As the system voice rang, the second match, "Battle of the Pillars," started on time and entered the "Preparation Phase."
Just as Feng Bujue had predicted, [Mountain River] sent out [Matcha Cookie] and [Chow Si] for this match.
Since Brother Jue had already predicted the opponent's lineup, he naturally chose a lineup that was specifically designed to counter the opponent's lineup. That was, [Parting Rain] and [Flower on the Rock]. In other words, the traditional combination of "Sword Master + Healer" against the new combination of "Super Workmanship Specialist" and "Half Summoner and Half Sorcerer".
In terms of the diversity of battle tactics, strategic changes, error tolerance, and other factors, the latter had the absolute advantage. On the way to level up [Mountain River], Matcha Cookie and Chou Si had repeatedly proven that … the combination of non-mainstream specializations and compound abilities was often miraculously effective against those old-fashioned combinations. In some extreme situations, the weaker party could even win against the stronger party.
Even so, Feng Bujue still sent out Ruo Yu and Hua Jian. It was obvious that he had a card up his sleeve for this match.
After three seconds of preparation time, Hua Jian, who was using [Staff of Asclepius] to cast a "resurrection buff" on Ruo Yu, looked at the two figures running away from the barrier and said calmly, "They ran away …"
"Ah … They ran away …" Ruo Yu replied casually. Her expression was calm.
Brother Jue had analyzed all the possible tactics that the opponent could use before the match, so the two of them were not nervous at all.
"Looking at this situation … Should we use Plan C?" Hua Jian asked a few seconds later.
"Phew …" Ruo Yu let out a long sigh. She looked like she could not muster up any energy. "We've already discussed it. Let's use it …"
…
One minute later, somewhere on the battlefield.
"That's strange … Why aren't they here yet?" Chou Si, who had made preliminary preparations, looked at the vast plain outside the barrier and muttered, "Even if we have to coordinate with Hua Jian's movement speed, they should be able to catch up with us in this short amount of time."
"Hmm … Even with the thermal imaging, there's no one …" Matcha Cookie, who was wearing an exaggerated Beetle helmet, observed the front through the lens of the helmet. "Could it be … they've taken a route that we can't 'see'?"
"You mean …" Chou Si said as he looked at the ground in front of him.
"'Taking an underground route' is only one of the hypotheses …" Matcha Cookie said thoughtfully, "Don't forget that there's a player in their guild who specializes in machinery … If he creates some kind of tradable spatial technology, then Passing Rain and Hua Jian might be able to use Phase Space or other teleportation devices to come here directly …"
"Understood." Chou Si nodded in response. He immediately turned around and arranged for a surveillance creature to be at the back.
Their nervousness and caution were understandable. After all, one of their opponents was the "monster level" Ruo Yu. Once she got close to them, they would die in any way they could.
Hence, their strategy was to increase their distance and defend at a fixed point.
When fighting against a close-combat and support-type double team, this strategy was undoubtedly very useful. Most of the close-combat and support-type combinations had very few long-range attacks, or even none at all. Once such a combination encountered a fortified defensive force in a plain where there was very little cover, it was very easy for them to fall into a hopeless situation.
It was precisely because of this that the two members of [Mountain River] turned and ran after seeing the combination of [Hell Frontline].
In the first minute or so, Matcha Cookie and Chou Si were racing against time … At the beginning of their journey, they ran as fast as they could to increase the distance between them and the others. While they were moving, they were preparing for their "creation" and "summoning". When they found a suitable place to set up their base, they started their "construction" without hesitation.
Matcha Cookie's [Engineer Ant Army Module] could greatly increase the efficiency of her mechanical creation. Chou Si's summoning skills mostly relied on 'materials', so he didn't need to spend too much time preparing them. (Like King of Shadows, who used paper dolls to summon, he refused to do so.)
The two of them cooperated quite well. In less than a minute, they had built a half-meter-high, arc-shaped metal bunker wall between them and the enemy.
After they laid down behind the wall and set up their initial defense, they entered a state of alert. At the same time, they used their skills to accumulate the number of mechanical creations and summoned creatures.
In other words, the longer they dragged this out, the more advantageous the situation would be for them.
This was because the longer they waited, the more weapons they could create. Furthermore, since they had been building, even if they stayed where they were, it would not be considered as AFKing.
Reading up to this point, some people might think that this combination and tactic was too unbeatable (shameful).
Actually, that was not the case.
If he ran into an opponent who specialized in marksmanship or a player who had a skill like Dragon Break, this tactic was no different from waiting for death. Furthermore, if he ran into someone like Long Aomin, who could raise his shield and charge at him, it would not work either.
In fact, even with the combination of Ruo Yu and Hana, it was not impossible for them to break this strategy. If the moment the barrier disappeared, Ruo Yu used her maximum speed to chase after the enemy, locate their location, and launch an ambush, then she would be able to take advantage of the moment when the enemy's firepower was at its weakest.
However, at this stage, these were just hypotheses.
One minute, two minutes …
It was not until five minutes later that Ruo Yu appeared on the horizon.
Five minutes was a long time on the stage of the Tournament for the Best. It was so long that it could end a duel.
With such ample time, Matcha Cookie and Chou Si were able to raise the defensive capabilities of this' stronghold 'to an astounding level. Logically speaking, they should be able to heave a sigh of relief. However, when they saw Rainy appear alone, they started to have doubts.
"What's going on?" "After waiting for so long, he just swaggered into our field of vision, and only one person at that?"
"Only one person is explainable. Perhaps they are wary of us using sniping to attack them from afar, so they let Hana, who is weaker in physical skills, hide first." Matcha Cookie added, "But … these five minutes are very suspicious. What did they do during this time?"
That's right, what did they do?
Actually, they did not do much. During this time, Ruo Yu and Hana Jian combined some parts provided by Snow and added a few rare raw materials as catalysts to create a very powerful small explosive device — [Compressed Retribution Bomb].
[Name: Compressed Retribution Bomb (Composite)]
[Type: Consumable]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Special Effect: Release the compressed, highly concentrated Smiting force (After pulling the fuse, there is a delay of 0.3 seconds. The radius of damage is about 9 kilometers. This item cannot be stored in a backpack after it is created)]
[Remark: A multiverse traveler from Cybertron, after exploring the world of Worms, experimented with the military technology of the two universes and created a batch of extremely lethal weapons. The 'Compressed Retribution Bomb' is one of them. By formatting the Smiting force in the 'Holy Grenade' and compressing it into a cubic space with a side length of less than or equal to 15 centimeters, the destructive power of this weapon will increase exponentially.]
The practicality of this thing was very poor. First, after it was' made into a finished product ', it could not be stored in a backpack, so it could only be made in the scenario world and could not be brought out. Second, the usage of this Compressed Retribution Bomb was similar to a grenade. It required the user to pull the pin to detonate it, but its power was on the level of a nuclear bomb. In other words, the user would not be able to escape the range of the explosion.
In a competition, it was hard to imagine that your opponent would give you five minutes to make this thing. Even if you did manage to make it, it was just a tool for mutual destruction.
However, if you knew the opponent's strategy and what they were going to do, then you could use it without worry.
At that moment, Hua Jian had already run 10 kilometers away. The reason she did not appear was simple. She wanted to escape the range of the explosion. Ruo Yu, on the other hand, was holding an item that would most likely kill her in an instant. With the 'resurrection buff', she was trying to get close to the two enemy team members …
"Wait! She is holding something with high energy! "Matcha Cookie, who used the visual aid to observe the situation, saw that something was wrong.
"What is it?" Technically speaking, Chou Si's question was nonsense.
"No matter what it is, I don't plan to let her get close to us with that thing …" As Matcha Cookie spoke, the mechanical army that she had created surged forward. Some of them ran towards the target while the others used various long-range firepower to suppress the enemy.
Chou Si saw this and immediately ordered his summoned creatures to follow. He was very alert as he built a magical shield around himself and his teammates, just in case.
However …
"Sigh …" Ruo Yu, who was far away, saw the wave of attacks coming at her. She sighed softly and mumbled to herself, "There are so many people blocking my way. Why don't I not go over? The explosion range is measured in kilometers, so a few hundred meters is not that big of a deal …"
With that thought in mind, she pulled the pin.
The next article was titled, "Heroism! Desolation! Sacrificing for the team, Ru Yu Ruo Li resolutely used a nuclear bomb! " Based on the battle report, the entertainment media had their own principles. It mainly depended on who the main character of the report was …
