Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1737 Baozi's Sand Toss
Fang Minghua had been searching for an opportunity, but this time, it was the closest he had ever been to finding one.
Bullets from One Autumn Leaf rained down once again, and he could even see the trajectory of the bullets flying past Xiaoge Zi's eyes. At this moment, Happy certainly wouldn't back down; even if they had to endure some damage, they would prioritize killing Xiaoge Zi.
But could they withstand the firepower of Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf by simply enduring?
Steel Bone!
Baozi, who had just been substituted into the game, was clever. As soon as Zhou Zekai's 回马枪 (huimaqiang, literally "return-horse spear," a move where one turns back on the horse to strike) came over, his Baozi Invasion activated the state. With the霸体 (bà tǐ, "super armor") state, even the densest rain of bullets couldn't disrupt his rhythm, only causing him to lose more health.
The breakthrough could only be through Soft Mist.
Fang Minghua shifted his attention a bit more toward Soft Mist. He counted Xiaoge Zi's health, feeling like each second was an eternity.
This was a match point. If Samsara could successfully save Fang Minghua's Xiaoge Zi, everyone knew which way the situation would tilt. Countless Samsara fans at the scene had already stood up nervously, their hearts in their throats, wondering if their team could secure victory here.
Closer, closer!
They mentally chanted. Because they could all see that at this distance, the threat of One Autumn Leaf's firepower was still somewhat insufficient. A little closer... the closer the distance, the denser and more continuous the firepower would be, allowing them to rely on continuous attacks to limit Soft Mist's attacks. If she had to dodge too much, disrupting her attack rhythm, then it would be Fang Minghua's chance to save himself.
Forward! This was Zhou Zekai's belief.
Opportunity! This was what Fang Minghua had been expecting from beginning to end; he hadn't given up for even a second.
Tang Rou was gradually feeling a bit strained.
Baozi opened Steel Bone right away, so he didn't have any pressure. However, his move was equivalent to pushing all the pressure onto Tang Rou. Zhou Zekai certainly wouldn't waste his attacks on a character with霸体 (bà tǐ, "super armor").
"Perhaps Bao Rongxing shouldn't have opened Steel Bone," commentator Pan Lin said.
"Perhaps... but that doesn't hinder Zhou Zekai from focusing his fire on one of them," Li Yibo said.
"That's true," Pan Lin nodded.
"Bao Rongxing should try to cover for Tang Rou!" Li Yibo said.
"Cover is already here," Pan Lin said.
Ye Xiu, Lord Grim, was rushing toward One Autumn Leaf at high speed. He had already made all the ranged attacks he could.
Of course, Zhou Zekai could see it, but at this moment, his attitude was extremely similar to Tang Rou and Baozi's. He was also prioritizing his attacks on them. He could only deal with Lord Grim's attacks as much as possible without interfering with One Autumn Leaf's offensive.
Quick!
Time was tight, and there weren't many opportunities. If Ye Xiu's Lord Grim got close, Zhou Zekai believed everything would end there. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim was much more formidable at sticking to people than An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands.
Move, delay the time it takes for Lord Grim to get close as much as possible; fire, this was the final sprint, an opportunity, just one opportunity.
Rapid Fire, Raging Fire, Burst Fire...
At this moment, all of One Autumn Leaf's shooting states were activated. At this moment, Zhou Zekai unleashed the peak of firepower.
Success or failure hinged on this, Gatling Gun!
One Autumn Leaf suddenly stood firm, no longer firing with dual guns, but instead taking out this heavy machine gun from who knows where. The Gatling Gun, which already had a higher firing rate, was now, under the blessing of this sharpshooter's various shooting states, firing bullets almost in a straight line, like a beam of light.
Tang Rou immediately knew that she absolutely couldn't dodge this time. If she were hit by this wave of laser-like continuous shots, it might even cause a knockback effect.
Soft Mist flashed, and the Gatling Gun's muzzle followed. The densely connected bullets, under this rapid gun muzzle rotation, were arranged like a neat staircase, swung into an arc.
The arc forced Soft Mist to move in only one direction, and a large gap finally appeared in front of Xiaoge Zi.
Opportunity!
An opportunity that had been anticipated for who knows how long.
At this moment, Fang Minghua's entire attention was on Baozi Invasion, because he knew that Baozi Invasion was the only one who could attack him and control him at this moment. He didn't have the ability to fight Baozi Invasion, but he had to avoid it, he had to avoid it.
Charge!
Xiaoge Zi rushed forward, toward that gap, but his gaze was locked firmly on Baozi Invasion.
Baozi Invasion threw a punch, reflexively, to intercept Xiaoge Zi's escaping punch.
But although the reaction was fast, this punch was too ordinary, so ordinary that Fang Minghua almost laughed out loud.
This is easy to dodge, right!
Fang Minghua quickly manipulated Xiaoge Zi, who swerved while charging forward, and Baozi Invasion's punch landed in empty air.
Of course, Fang Minghua didn't think that avoiding this punch was the end of it. However, Baozi Invasion's interception started so simply that, after he dodged it, a gap suddenly appeared between him and Baozi Invasion.
After one opportunity, there was a series of opportunities. Fang Minghua's mood was surging, and his fingers became even lighter and more agile. Xiaoge Zi lifted the Angel Holy Light in his hand, preparing to first cast an instant Holy Heal, giving Xiaoge Zi a huge health boost. He had been suppressed so much that he didn't even have the chance to cast such instant skills.
The holy light was gathering on the cross, about to be cast on Xiaoge Zi when Baozi Invasion, with a wave of his ordinary fist, suddenly opened his fist and scattered sand.
Sand Toss?
The holy light went out.
Fang Minghua's mood at this moment was simply indescribable. That waving fist, was it a Sand Toss? Was Sand Toss used like this? If it was Sand Toss, why didn't you throw it earlier? Why did you clench your fist so tightly? What attack effect would a fist holding sand have when it touched the target?
Sand Toss, this rogue skill that had long been seen, suddenly generated countless doubts in Fang Minghua's heart. Xiaoge Zi was hit by the suddenly thrown sand, and Fang Minghua didn't make any dodging maneuvers at all.
The screen went black.
Full-level Sand Toss, a 100% blind rate on the face, with an effect lasting eight seconds.
Countless Samsara fans at the scene also saw black. With an eight-second blind, there was absolutely no way for Xiaoge Zi to escape. All Zhou Zekai could do was create such an opportunity for him, create a gap, but it still mainly depended on himself. However, with an eight-second blind, Fang Minghua completely lost all opportunities.
"What are you doing? You can't even avoid a Sand Toss?" Many players were complaining.
The professional players were silent.
How should this Sand Toss be described! It felt particularly childish, probably just a small clever trick, a cunning trick of the ordinary player level.
But now, this small trick was brought by Baozi to the highest level of competition in Glory, and then, it ended all of Samsara's healer player, Fang Minghua's, hope.
"Unlucky!!"
Everyone sympathized with Fang Minghua. After everyone saw Baozi's technique now, they all felt that it was not difficult to deal with at all. A Sand Toss with such a delayed release had no pressure to dodge or interrupt, and you could do both.
But Fang Minghua was the first to try it. He probably didn't even think about it being a Sand Toss with that punch, and in the end, he was ended by such a childish trick.
The professional players felt nothing but sympathy. The commentators Pan Lin and Li Yibo in the TV broadcast didn't know how to comment either. Was such an important match point ultimately resolved by a move that seemed like a child's play? Today's ultimate battle was full of all kinds of bizarre, strange, and outrageous things!
But no matter what, Fang Minghua's ending was now set. He couldn't count on Zhou Zekai anymore. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim had already intercepted One Autumn Leaf. With Lord Grim's movement ability, there was no way for Zhou Zekai to kite One Autumn Leaf, and the two had begun a fierce head-on confrontation.
In a short while, Samsara's Fang Minghua's Xiaoge Zi completely died. At this point, both teams had their healers taken out first.
Everyone believed in the saying that whoever could control the opponent's healer in a team competition would control the game. As a result, now that both healers were taken out ahead of time, the direction of this game's development suddenly became directionless. But at least, it was still five against five.
However, looking at the list of characters on Happy's side at this time, countless viewers felt a strange feeling in their hearts, and these people, coincidentally, were all from the Glory tenth server.
Lord Grim? Soft Mist? One Inch Ash? Baozi Invasion? Only Steamed Bun Invasion was a little off. Weren't the others the famous dungeon team that left their mark countless times in their tenth server?
