Chapter 1282 Hide-and-Seek

The hide-and-seek match had dragged on for more than ten minutes. If this were Happy’s home stadium, perhaps Happy fans would find it amusing, but this was Blue Rain’s home stadium. Watching only two people unable to make a comeback, yet still dragging it out without any sportsmanship, had long drawn boos.

However, just now, when Ye Xiu said in the channel that this was all practice for the playoffs, the boos actually stopped for a moment. For that instant, everyone actually agreed with the explanation, but quickly, in Huang Shaotian’s series of messages, everyone realized that this was simply a bullshit excuse, right? Instantly, the boos grew louder.

So why delay like this?

To be honest, even the Happy players weren’t too sure. Even if the reason was to accumulate match experience, what experience could be gained from a situation that was so far removed from a normal match rhythm?

The real reason was only clear to Ye Xiu.

If it were just him, he probably would have just “gg’d” by now. But next to him was Mo Fan. When only two people were left, and Ye Xiu was already prepared to give up, Mo Fan’s Deception went into a run-and-escape rhythm.

“This guy…” Ye Xiu was a little surprised, and then quickly followed.

Mo Fan had experienced professional matches for a few days now, so he shouldn’t be ignorant of the current situation, nor should he be unable to judge that a 2v5 was unlikely to win. But he didn’t give up, temporarily avoiding the opponent’s momentum, and looking like he was waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, making it impossible for Ye Xiu to discourage his enthusiasm. He had no choice but to accompany him, fleeing for more than ten minutes.

For more than ten minutes, the two only escaped, never getting opportunities like a lone target. But Mo Fan was patient, very persevering. As for Ye Xiu, he was not someone who gave up easily, but he wasn’t as stubborn as Mo Fan. However, since he was accompanying this guy in his stubbornness, he would go all out, diligently fleeing.

Until this moment.

“Probably, it’s just to here.” After observing the terrain, Ye Xiu said to Mo Fan in the channel.

Mo Fan’s Deception also turned his perspective slightly, without expressing disagreement. When it came to escaping, he was also an expert. Although the pursuit he was suffering now wasn’t as grand as the sea of people in the game, the pressure he was under was greater. Professional standards were, after all, extraordinary. Fortunately, Mo Fan had improved a lot, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to hold out for these ten minutes against this professional team’s pursuit.

Now, they were finally forced into a dead end.

With no way out, they could only move forward. At this time, the only option for running was to break through by force. Ye Xiu carefully observed the terrain, but saw Deception’s hand move, his ninja blade seemed to be about to be raised in front of him. Turning his perspective to look at Deception, he saw that Blue Rain’s Guardian Angel, Soul Speaker, was slowly approaching them.

Deception was already making preparations to charge, but a string of words popped up in the team channel: “It’s bait.”

Mo Fan was stunned, and actually replied with a string of words: “Then what can be done?”

“Stall, ignore them,” Ye Xiu replied.

So Soul Speaker walked closer and closer, until he didn’t dare to walk anymore, and still didn’t see the two of them appear. Xu Jingxi had no choice but to ask in the channel.

After a while, Yu Wenzhou released a message in the public channel: “This isn’t fun! I’ve already set up the stage for you, just come down!”

“Oh, so that’s what you mean! I was saying, you can’t look down on us like that,” Ye Xiu replied.

“Exactly, then just come out!” Yu Wenzhou replied.

“No, it’s too embarrassing to fall for such a crude trap,” Ye Xiu said.

“Then what should we do?” Yu Wenzhou asked.

“I’ve figured out where you’re ambushing. We’ll try to charge through here,” Ye Xiu said.

“Left or right?” Yu Wenzhou asked.

“Either.”

Just as this message jumped onto the channel, Lord Grim’s figure immediately appeared within Swoksaar’s field of vision.

“Oh, what a coincidence,” Ye Xiu greeted in the channel.

“Well done!” Huang Shaotian shouted, and Troubling Rain immediately drew his sword to meet him.

“Now you’re taking over the chat?” Ye Xiu laughed, and Lord Grim also charged up without showing weakness.

The two characters fought together. Huang Shaotian was obviously not an opponent that Ye Xiu could get rid of in minutes. Yu Wenzhou had already begun to assist with Swoksaar, and the other members of Blue Rain quickly surrounded them.

Yu Wenzhou immediately realized something was wrong.

“Where’s Deception?” He stopped operating and shouted in the channel.

A figure rushed out!

Blue Rain’s formation had already sealed off this area, but because Lord Grim suddenly jumped out and attacked strongly, attracting attention, the attention of several people was focused and instantly created a gap. Mo Fan’s positioning was very precise. Deception was rushing towards this gap. Before Blue Rain’s members could even react, Deception had already run out of their control area.

“See where you run!” Huang Shaotian shouted, and Troubling Rain wildly slashed.

“Who said I was running?” Ye Xiu smiled.

“Then what are you doing?” Yu Wenzhou didn’t understand.

“Feinting to the east and attacking in the west!” Ye Xiu said.

“What’s the point of him running?” Yu Wenzhou asked.

“Run for another ten minutes?” Ye Xiu said.

“…” The Blue Rain team was really speechless. This was a formal match! Were they really playing hide-and-seek?

“Go to hell!” Troubling Rain’s attack grew more urgent. Zheng Xuan and Song Xiao’s characters had also rushed over, and began to surround and kill Lord Grim. Swoksaar also began to chant spells again. Lord Grim’s health was rapidly decreasing.

Who knew that at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind Swoksaar. Deception, suddenly he circled around to this end again, raising his hand and throwing a shuriken, directly hitting Swoksaar. Yu Wenzhou had already heard his teammates’ reminders and quickly dodged. But Deception followed the shuriken, and in the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of him, jumping up and slashing down at Swoksaar with his knife.

Ding!

The sound of metal clashing rang out. Troubling Rain used a Triple Slash, instantly flashing in front of Swoksaar, and parried Deception’s attack. The next two slashes pushed Deception back.

However, the encirclement of Lord Grim had a gap because of Troubling Rain’s withdrawal. A grenade was thrown down, and Lord Grim’s Arc Flash instantly chopped in front of Swoksaar, missing. He then used Charge, crashing towards Troubling Rain again.

Huang Shaotian knew that if he was broken through again, this guy would escape again.

Phantom Invisible Swords!

Huang Shaotian directly activated his ultimate move. In front of Troubling Rain, a sword net woven from sword light appeared, covering Lord Grim.

But in the channel, a message from his teammate jumped out: “Behind!”

Behind Troubling Rain was only Deception, who had just been forced away by his Triple Slash.

He’s back so soon?

Huang Shaotian was shocked. So, the guy just now might not have been forced away by him, but had proactively chosen to retreat, which was why he was able to kill his way back so calmly in an instant.

Backstab! (Bei Shen Fu Shou Shu)

Mo Fan’s burst of hand speed and operation was extremely strong. Huang Shaotian really didn’t expect him to be able to return so quickly, and his teammates’ reminder was too late. No matter how strong the frontal attack of Phantom Invisible Swords was, the back was full of flaws. Deception stuck to him, directly interrupting his ultimate move. Then, instead of using up all his skills, he actually took the initiative to withdraw again.

But Huang Shaotian didn’t feel lucky at all. Deception retreated, but Lord Grim’s Charge arrived right in front of him.

Bang!

Troubling Rain was knocked aside. Deception had already thrown down a Smoke Bomb, a cloud of purple smoke filled the area, and Lord Grim moved, instantly drilling into it. Yu Wenzhou’s Swoksaar had prepared a skill, but now he could only throw it in to try his luck, but he didn’t gain anything. When Blue Rain passed through the purple smoke again, the two of Happy had already run far away.

“Is it fun? Is it fun?” He couldn’t slash him, so Huang Shaotian could only spam the chat to vent his anger.

“Haha, I think it’s quite interesting!” Ye Xiu replied.

“Referee, this guy should be judged as a loser!” Huang Shaotian complained to the referee. But this was a serious league, not an All-Star match. Although the current situation was infuriating, there was no foul behavior, and the referee couldn’t directly decide the result, so he could only ignore Huang Shaotian. Blue Rain’s five were depressed, and could only gather again to organize a pursuit.

After another ten minutes of tossing, Lord Grim and Deception were caught up by Blue Rain. After a fierce battle, this time Blue Rain finally didn’t miss the opportunity and killed them both. Huang Shaotian and Zheng Xuan even whipped the corpses of Lord Grim and Deception’s characters during the short time after the end of the match before they retreated.

This behavior was completely humiliating to the opponent and extremely unfriendly. It wouldn’t be strange for this kind of behavior to trigger a flame war. But at this moment, watching the Blue Rain players’ rash behavior, all the watching viewers suddenly had a sense of joy.

These two guys had dragged out a match that should have ended long ago by 23 minutes.

If you dragged it out and did something, that would be fine. But these two guys did nothing, just ran and hid, until there was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, purely to disgust people, right?

Who knew that in the post-match press conference, Ye Xiu didn’t care at all.

“Meaningless actions? Of course not, we have been looking for opportunities! It’s just that Blue Rain did too well today, the overall strength is very strong, let us have been unable to find an opportunity, it is a pity that we ultimately lost the game, sigh!” Ye Xiu said in a depressed tone.

The reporters were stunned. Damn, what’s there to regret about losing a 2v5 match? Why does it sound like you guys made mistakes when it was a 5v2 and were defeated by two people?

“Next time, we will continue to work hard!” After being depressed, Ye Xiu actively expressed his attitude.

Still need to continue to work hard?!

Just saying, not serious, right?

The reporters, who had been tormented by the 23 minutes until they almost flipped the table, were very collapsed.
