Chapter 177 People-Marking Playstyle

The Huling Howl with its people-marking playstyle had overlooked the Summoner in the Xingxin team. This was truly a low-level and laughable mistake.

Xingxin team's courage and trust in their players were truly extraordinary. If it were many other teams, even knowing that the Summoner was a counter to Howling Howl's playstyle, how many teams would dare to bet on a newcomer? A newcomer who, up until now, had only appeared in a few rounds?

Xingxin did. To the point that such a low-level and laughable mistake from Howling Howl, for a time, no one was embarrassed to criticize them, simply because too many people, like Howling Howl, had overlooked this point.

Everyone was thinking about the fact that Ye Xiu hadn't played. How many people had seriously stopped to think about how Xingxin would deal with the match if Ye Xiu didn't play?

In their eyes, it seemed that if Ye Xiu didn't play, Xingxin was just messing around.

But alas, with a Smoke Bomb and a Summoner, Xingxin, relying on their two players who hadn't appeared many times, two rookie players, had started by collapsing Howling Howl's people-marking strategy.

The smoke had mostly dissipated at this point, and the Xingxin's formation was finally completely revealed in all its ferocity. The summons commanded by Mo Guang made Howling Howl's people-marking strategy seem so childish.

Liu Hao's Dark Cloudy Day was caught by the vines of the Demon World Flower.

Tang Hao's Tang Three Strikes had pinned down a spirit cat, but his head was also being held in the mouth of an Ice Wolf, making him look incredibly terrifying.

Zhao Yuzhe's Shuguang was targeted by the Thunder Eagle. Although a single summon wouldn't pose much of a threat to a professional player, if Zhao Yuzhe wanted to free up his hands to attack Xingxin's side, he would have to ask the Thunder Eagle for permission first.

What about Guo Yang's Qi Flowing Clouds and Lin Feng's Ghost Mystery? Did they have nothing to do?

Of course not!

Xingxin was a team, and it wasn't just Luo Ji on the team at this time. Mo Guang's summons dealt with three of Howling Howl's players, and the other Xingxin players were all free at this point!

Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain's heavy firepower entangled Qi Flowing Clouds. But the most unlucky person was Lin Feng. He was a combat thief, and Ghost Mystery had sneaked over, intending to use a sneak attack to tear one of Xingxin's characters from the team. But the smoke dissipated, he became visible, and then, he was surrounded.

Tang Rou, Fang Rui, and Mo Fan, the three characters had Ghost Mystery completely surrounded.

Breaking the opponent's tactics didn't mean victory was locked in. Truly establishing victory required dealing effective damage to the opponent. Tactics could be changed or reorganized, and Howling Howl would never make the low-level mistake of ignoring the Summoner in the opponent's formation again.

So Xingxin had to take advantage of this opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Howling Howl first. Otherwise, it would just be resisting the opponent's first wave of attacks, without any counterattack power, what use would that be?

Lin Feng was currently caught in Xingxin's counterattack. The three-person siege made it impossible for him to resist, and Ghost Mystery's health dropped drastically in an instant. But there wasn't nearly enough time to finish off Ghost Mystery in one wave.

A single Thunder Eagle couldn't completely restrict Zhao Yuzhe.

The Ice Wolf directly holding Tang Three Strikes' head in its mouth looked terrifying, but the game was just a game, and the damage didn't increase much because of the terrifying scene. However, the ice qi slowing down Tang Three Strikes might make Tang Hao more uncomfortable.

Liu Hao's Dark Cloudy Day was only restrained by the vines, limiting his movement. He could still attack from there. The attack range of the Wave Sword could still sweep into the Xingxin formation.

In the end, the one who was restricted the most was Qi Flowing Clouds, who was under Dancing Rain's firepower suppression. Summons, after all, couldn't play the same role as player characters. They were far from it!

"In the current situation, Xingxin has the advantage, but whether they can establish a victory from this depends on how they play," Li Yibo commented during the broadcast, having already seen that the match was far from over.

"Yes, although Liu Hao's Dark Cloudy Day's movement is restricted by the Demon World Flower's vines, Xingxin is still within his attack range. He can completely support Lin Feng!" Pan Lin shouted.

Ground Fissure Wave Sword!

As Pan Lin said, Liu Hao manipulated Dark Cloudy Day to aid Ghost Mystery.

But at this moment, the Demon World Flower became a shield. Ghost Mystery was pulled behind the Demon World Flower by the three Xingxin players and fiercely attacked. No matter what, the Wave Sword that Dark Cloudy Day attacked couldn't bypass the Demon World Flower. The Ground Fissure Wave Sword was futile. However, after the earth wave of the Ground Fissure Wave Sword swept over, Liu Hao saw a lit lighter bouncing twice on the ground, eventually landing in front of him.

That damn woman!

Liu Hao only had time for such a furious thought when the Heat-Seeking Missile had already descended from the sky, spewing flames. Dark Cloudy Day, entangled by the vines, couldn't dodge no matter what.

Boom!

The rolling mushroom cloud engulfed Dark Cloudy Day. While focusing on attacking Qi Flowing Clouds, Su Mucheng still spared a moment to take care of Liu Hao.

Tang Hao's Tang Three Strikes finally broke free from his predicament at this time.

Throw!

The Ice Wolf was grabbed by Tang Three Strikes. Although the movement was a bit slower due to the deceleration, the force wasn't lacking at all. The Ice Wolf was smashed towards Tang Rou and the other two's characters.

Dragon Breaks the Army!

As a result, Tang Rou directly used offense as defense, Dragon Breaks the Army charged out, smashing the Ice Wolf and stabbing straight at Tang Three Strikes.

Tang Hao's reaction and operation were, of course, completely without problems, but Tang Hao's Tang Three Strikes was still in a deceleration state. Tang Rou's resolute change of target, he wanted to avoid, but his character's speed couldn't keep up. With a bang, he was directly knocked away by Soft Mist.

Tang Rou didn't chase him. Soft Mist turned around again, and continued to attack Ghost Mystery.

"Xingxin is playing very well, very methodically, very rhythmically!" Li Yibo said in the broadcast, praising.

"But in this way, won't Tang Three Strikes escape the harassment? Tang Hao will be back soon!" Pan Lin said.

"Is that so?" Li Yibo said with a smile.

On the field, Mo Guang kept chanting and commanding.

Summon Four Beasts, this was his main Summoner lineup. It was also the number he could handle relatively well, but at this time, Luo Ji was unrestrained. All the summons that Mo Guang had in his skill list were released by him.

Some summons with low ranks had very limited attack power, but at this time, Luo Ji obviously didn't expect to rely on these summons to end the battle. Entanglement, the meaning of all the summons' existence was entanglement. They were like one defense line after another, hindering the contact between the Howling Howl characters and the Xingxin players.

In order to achieve this goal, Luo Ji summoned without restraint. Mo Guang's mana was the fastest disappearing thing on the field. Under normal circumstances, summons would never fight like this. The result would definitely be that their own mana would disappear before they eliminated the opponent. But at this time, the responsibility of eliminating the opponent was given to the other members of the Xingxin team, and Luo Ji's task was to constantly hinder the opponent with the number of his summons.

This was an exchange, Mo Guang's mana for the opponent's life. And at this time, what was disappearing as fast as Mo Guang's mana was Lin Feng's thief, Ghost Mystery's health.

Under the siege of the three Xingxin players, he couldn't resist at all, and could only desperately maneuver and delay time, waiting for the support of his own players. And what Luo Ji was doing was hindering this support. Mo Guang's summons and Dancing Rain's long-range heavy firepower had become Howling Howl's biggest troubles at this time.

A mere rookie Summoner actually held up their entire team?

This fact really drove the Howling Howl players a little crazy.

But what could they do?

Luo Ji summoned without regard for consumption, making one summon after another appear in front of them. He also tried his best to control the summons, not just sending them up to die.

With Luo Ji's operation, he couldn't do everything perfectly. But regarding the choice of details, this time he really did the best he could. He couldn't completely control it, but he always operated at the most needed, most critical time.

Those who despised Luo Ji, as long as they understood a little bit of Glory, were now silent. Everyone could see the key role Luo Ji was playing at this time. Although he wasn't the main output, he was an indispensable link in Xingxin's tactical rhythm. Just like a healer, they hardly provide output, but who could say that the healer's existence on the field had no value?

And those with higher skill levels were already surprised by Luo Ji's performance.

His operation was indeed not top-notch, but he did everything he could do within his ability to the extreme.

Accurate calculation, careful rhythm.

Xingxin, it seems that another extraordinary guy has appeared!

Although his talent was limited, he could do everything to the limit.

This was like an exam. Some people had the ability to score 100 points, but often because of this and that negligence, they only scored 90 points in the end; and Luo Ji was a person who could only score 90 points, and in the end, he scored 90 points. In this way, his actual performance was no different from those who had the ability to score 100 but ended up scoring 90.

"Howling Howl has to think of a way, it's not a good thing to continue like this," Li Yibo commented.

"Then, Director Li, what do you think Howling Howl needs to do to solve the problem?" Pan Lin asked.

"Overall," Li Yibo said, "Howling Howl now needs to play as a whole. Only by carrying out overall coordinated advancement can they quickly clear out the summons that Mo Guang is constantly releasing. Their current approach of fighting individually is too inefficient. This is the root cause of why they are being held back by Luo Ji alone."

"Overall, huh..." Pan Lin didn't know what to say. Everyone knew that Howling Howl was only forced into this set of people-marking full-attack tactics because the overall play was so bad, forcibly dividing the projects that required overall combat into one-on-one battles. And now, Howling Howl needed to use the whole to solve the problem.

"This, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?" Pan Lin said with emotion, not wanting to be too explicit!
