Chapter 134 Ambush

The mood of the Void team was naturally not good.

In the individual competition, Li Xuan had encouraged the morale of the team members, but when he went up himself, he couldn't even get a firm footing. He didn't even see Xingxin's last competitor before being blasted off by Su Mucheng. It was quite embarrassing to say the least. Fortunately, the members of Void were all veteran players. Newcomers like Gai Caijie were also mature and steady. Knowing that Su Mucheng had always been the bane of the team's captain and vice-captain, they didn't have any complaints because of this.

Down 0 to 5, in a direct confrontation between two competitive opponents, Void was now completely behind. If they lost the team competition as well, the two teams would be separated by 10 points on the standings in this round. Once this gap reached double digits, even if it was just the difference between 10 points and 9 points, it would create a subtle difference in mentality. Double digits would always make people feel that catching up was especially difficult.

"I don't think anyone wants to be left behind by Xingxin by 10 points, right?" So, Li Xuan said this to his teammates.

"Team competition, lose and be left behind; win and continue to tie. I won't say much about what we should do. Everyone, cheer up. Now is not the time to be discouraged. Think about the last round, think about the eleventh round. We have the ability to defeat any team!" Li Xuan said.

In the last round, Void defeated Misty Rain 8 to 2; in the eleventh round, the 8 to 2 victory over Tiny Herb was the biggest highlight of Void's season. Li Xuan hoped to evoke the confidence of his team members by recalling the battles against strong teams.

"Come on, take these five points!" Li Xuan said, looking back. On the Xingxin side, the players who would be playing in the team competition had already gotten up and were heading towards the stage.

Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, a complete victory over the Two Ghosts combination.

Fang Rui, the grandmaster who played Light Qi Master with a dark and despicable style.

Tang Rou, who didn't get a chance to play in the individual competition, had been holding back for a long time.

An Wenyi, who had always been regarded as the weak point of the Xingxin team, but after 13 rounds, had anyone broken through this weak point to pose a threat to Xingxin? No, not at all. Xingxin's tactics had always been very careful to protect him. This protection was not only for his life safety, but also for the sake of his performance. Avoiding situations that An Wenyi couldn't handle as much as possible was a link that had been implemented in Xingxin's tactics, and had been interpreted by many professionals.

After the five players, the sixth player, Baozi, an unfathomable rookie, had miraculously good luck in this round. Would this good luck be brought to the team competition?

"Let's go!" Seeing that the opponent had already entered the arena, Li Xuan said in a deep voice.

For the Void team, the Two Ghosts combination of Li Xuan and Wu Yuce were of course duty-bound to play, followed by the healing profession that was indispensable in the team competition. Void's healing player was called Tang Lisheng, and his character was a Guardian Angel, Shou Lingzhe (Guardian Spirit). As for the other three candidates, Li Xun's position was generally unshakable, and after Gai Caijie showed his talent, his position became more and more fixed, and even faintly had a tendency to become the tactical core of the Void team. After that, Void sent Yang Haoxuan, who had played in the individual competition before.

This season, Void often had Ge Zhaolan, a Launcher, as the sixth player in the team competition, but they made a special adjustment for this round against Xingxin. Launcher Yang Haoxuan played, and replaced Li Xun in the starting lineup. The intention of this adjustment was very obvious. Void was indeed quite concerned about Su Mucheng, so they also put the Launcher player in the starting lineup, so that the two sides could form an equal restriction on long-range firepower.

The players above took the stage one after another. The team competition was the highlight of each round, and there was a lot of preparation time in between. The players often greeted each other on the stage.

"Why didn't you reply to my text message?" So Wu Yuce of the Void team received a greeting from Fang Rui.

"The phone wasn't on," Wu Yuce replied.

"Oh, when are you going back?" Fang Rui asked. The Void team was in City X, which was quite far from City H. Although Glory e-sports was developing rapidly, no team was rich enough to have its own private jet. Since the time of Glory matches was uncertain, the itinerary after the match was not easy to arrange in advance. In order to play the match with peace of mind, the away team would generally choose to spend the night in the home team's city before leaving, if the two cities were not very close.

"Tomorrow." Sure enough, that was Void's arrangement.

"Let's have a spar after the match!" Fang Rui didn't send a text message, but made a direct appointment.

The others stared blankly, looking at these two people who had arranged a private duel before the official match. The referee listened from the side and felt that something was wrong, but couldn't find any rules to restrict them, so he could only glare at them fiercely.

The duel was proposed unilaterally by Fang Rui. Wu Yuce was wrongly implicated in the referee's hateful gaze because he was the target of the duel. He didn't say much to Fang Rui at the moment, and after throwing down the sentence "Let's talk after the match," he went into his own competition seat with the Void team players.

Soon, both sides were ready, and the countdown began. Five seconds later, the team competition officially began.

The map was Twin Posts.

The Void team spawned in the northeast corner, and the Xingxin team was in the southwest corner. The shapes of the two corners were basically symmetrical. The northwest and southwest corners were more concave basins, and there were stone forests in each corner. In the center of the map, at the ten o'clock and four o'clock positions, there were stone-built blockhouses. The name Twin Posts came from these two iconic buildings.

The two blockhouses were the same height and within the range of the Launcher. Such high points were obviously for the Launcher to provide fire suppression. Void gnashed their teeth when they saw this map. Obviously, Xingxin knew that Su Mucheng was their bane, and this selection of players would allow Mu Yu Chengfeng's firepower coverage to be fully utilized.

But in this round, Void also sent a Launcher player into the arena. Firepower coverage, who didn't have it?

"Let's go!"

With Li Xuan's order, the five members of Void acted quickly, rushing towards the center of the map, wanting to seize the blockhouse as soon as possible.

The two blockhouses were equidistant from the spawn points of both teams, reflecting the principle of fair competition. The Void team was confident that their movement speed would never be slower than Xingxin's, but when they rushed out of the northeast corner of the spawn and saw the 4 o'clock blockhouse in their field of vision becoming clearer and clearer, suddenly, a figure appeared at the top of the blockhouse.

Mu Yu Chengfeng, one foot propped on the ground, the other foot on the railing at the top of the blockhouse, carrying a heavy cannon on her shoulder, her long hair flying, how could a heroic figure be described completely?

Su Mucheng's Launcher arrived at the four o'clock blockhouse even earlier than the Void team.

How could she be so fast?

The Void players weren't too surprised. There was only one reason she could arrive so quickly: Su Mucheng's Mu Yu Chengfeng didn't move with the entire team; she came to seize this blockhouse alone. Single-soldier movement was always faster than the overall team. The movement speed of each character couldn't be judged solely by equipment. Movement skills would help characters accelerate a lot. However, the two major healing classes, Priest and Guardian Angel, didn't have such skills, and were known as the short-legged ones among the 24 classes. When the entire army moved, it naturally couldn't be fast to take care of the healers.

The Void team could also send their Launcher to move alone, but if both sides were to act alone, the two would inevitably meet first. Yang Haoxuan facing Su Mucheng alone… Li Xuan was also reluctant to say that he didn't trust his own team members, but perhaps because Su Mucheng had always been his bane, he was quite afraid of Su Mucheng, and Yang Haoxuan's existence was very important in this team competition. In the end, he didn't dare to let him go out and play with Su Mucheng alone. The entire team ultimately acted as a whole, but Su Mucheng had boldly come over by herself first.

"What courage, everyone, charge!" Li Xuan praised, but signaled the whole team to charge up.

Since they weren't surprised, it meant that they had expected this situation. If they expected it, how could they not have a plan? The five members of the Void team dispersed instantly, surrounding the four o'clock blockhouse at the fastest speed. Tang Lisheng's Shou Lingzhe (Guardian Spirit) quickly fell to the end, looking like a staggering old man on the leftmost route. But when passing through a certain point on this route, this character suddenly accelerated sharply, running at an incredible speed.

How could this be?

After a moment of astonishment, everyone clearly recognized in the close-up given by the camera that the character was no longer Shou Lingzhe (Guardian Spirit). Void had boldly switched characters. Shou Lingzhe (Guardian Spirit) had just deliberately walked to the left, not to avoid Mu Yu Chengfeng's firepower range, but to pass through a character-switching zone. Now that Shou Lingzhe (Guardian Spirit) had left the arena, Li Xun's Assassin Gui Deng Yinghuo (Ghost Lantern Firefly) had taken his place. After sprinting and accelerating, how much faster was he compared to the Guardian Angel?

At this point, Void's intention was as clear as it could be. They guessed that Su Mucheng might come alone to seize the point, so they simply gave her this opportunity. Then, they directly switched out the healer and had five characters attack simultaneously, striving to take Mu Yu Chengfeng away one step ahead of the rest!

The two Ghost Swordsmen opened their Ghost Steps, the Exorcist Qing Zhi Qu (Blue Drive) affixed an acceleration talisman, the Launcher Ban Touming (Semitransparent) fired cannons continuously, and the Assassin Gui Deng Yinghuo (Ghost Lantern Firefly) wasn't satisfied with just sprinting and accelerating. He also used Arc Flash as soon as it was off cooldown. The five characters used their respective methods to reach their respective peaks, instantly rushing towards the four o'clock tower, each vying for a position that they had obviously planned in advance. Su Mucheng's firepower from above could block one of them, but she couldn't snipe five people at the same time.

So Su Mucheng simply ignored the other four people, focusing her firepower completely on Li Xuan's Formation Ghost Fenshan Guiqi (Meeting Mountain Ghost Cry).

Under the heavy firepower suppression, Fenshan Guiqi (Meeting Mountain Ghost Cry) naturally couldn't charge as freely as he wanted, and quickly fell behind the other four. But those four had already approached the four o'clock tower at a rapid pace. Yang Haoxuan's Ban Touming (Semitransparent) was occasionally raising his cannon to counterattack Mu Yu Chengfeng high up.

"Successfully arrived!" The assassin lived up to his reputation as the number one in movement. Although Tang Lisheng's Shou Lingzhe (Guardian Spirit) had dragged him down at the beginning, he was ultimately the first to reach the bottom of the blockhouse. Li Xun reported in the channel and operated Gui Deng Yinghuo (Ghost Lantern Firefly) to circle around the stairs behind the blockhouse, but when he circled around, Li Xun was immediately stunned.

This… this… are there a few too many people?

Behind the blockhouse, one, two, three, four… Xingxin's four characters were here, posing and waiting for him…
