Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1446 Two-Sided Treatment
Yu Wenzhou had imagined how Happy would react to a strong attack on Little Cold Hands in various ways. However, abandoning the healer? This was the only possibility that had just flashed through his mind.
In this situation, how could Happy possibly abandon their healer?
But the truth was, Happy really did not show any signs of protecting Little Cold Hands. Ye Xiu took the lead, followed by Fang Rui's Boundless Sea, and then Su Mucheng, who had been harassing Soul Speaker with her attacks, concentrated her fire on him even more.
The Blue Rain players were a little dazed, unsure what to do for a moment.
In the current situation, Happy should not choose to abandon their healer. Almost everyone knew this. How could the Blue Rain players on the field not understand this? They were feeling the pressure brought about by the difference in the two sides' healers.
That was why their captain had instructed them to attack Happy's healer with full force. They understood the tactical intention behind this.
But Happy had actually launched a counterattack against their healer, a decision they could not understand at all.
What was Happy's scheme?
Everyone inevitably thought this way, and it wasn't just the Blue Rain players on the field.
After all, everyone, as Li Yibo had said, couldn't understand Happy's decision.
There had to be a deeper reason, right? A simple trade was too unscientific.
The audience could not understand, so they just complained. Li Yibo didn't understand either, and dared to shout it out loud on the show. But what about Yu Wenzhou? As the captain and decision-maker on the field for Blue Rain, he had no way to make a decision without understanding.
But at this moment, he needed to do just that, because there was no time for him to think carefully. Blue Rain was already hesitating. Without clear instructions, and wanting to both save their Soul Speaker and attack Happy's Little Cold Hands, they might end up with nothing. That would be a definite loss.
Perhaps this hesitation was the state that Happy wanted to create?
In an instant, Yu Wenzhou could only think of so much. His mind was quick, but at this moment he wished he had a time-stopping skill that could freeze the scene and allow him to sort out the match properly.
But now, he had to make a decision.
So Yu Wenzhou used action to give his instructions. Soul Extinguisher raised his hand, and Curse of Destruction pointed at Little Cold Hands, releasing a spell.
Understood!
The Blue Rain players understood immediately, and without hesitation, they all focused their fire on Little Cold Hands. If they could kill him quickly, they might be able to turn around and save their Soul Speaker. In terms of self-preservation, Guardian Angels were superior to Priests. After all, this was a class that could serve as an MT (Main Tank). They wore plate armor and had skills like Holy Shield, Holy Light Strike, Life Activation, and Limit Survival for defense and to prolong their life. That was why Guardian Angels were better suited for defense.
Xu Jingxi was also paying attention to Yu Wenzhou's final decision.
A trade. This should be seen as the opponent's intention. As for their own team, the desired outcome was, of course, that the opponent's healer would be killed while their own healer survived.
So this kind of decision didn't mean abandonment. Xu Jingxi wasn't at the point where he could sit back and watch the show. He should be the most focused person on the field, because he was about to face an attack by three of Happy's players, and his goal was to survive that attack for as long as possible.
First, a Holy Shield!
Xu Jingxi decided. Because of the healer's weakness in mobility, he didn't plan to play hide-and-seek with Happy. He planned to make full use of the Guardian Angel's characteristics, seize every opportunity, and try his best to hold on.
But the Holy Shield operation was executed, but the skill didn't appear!
Silenced?
Xu Jingxi was shocked, and the silence came from... Little Cold Hands' Sacred Fire...
An Wenyi, who was facing an even more severe encirclement than Xu Jingxi, was actually still supporting Happy's output at this time?
This time it was Sacred Fire. Next, was he planning to use Holy Light Judgment?
Of course, Blue Rain wouldn't allow An Wenyi to be so comfortable. Letting one Sacred Fire slip through was already a mistake. The next skill, whatever it was, was immediately interrupted.
But just this one Sacred Fire showed Happy's determination. They didn't seem to be pretending. They seemed to be single-mindedly trying to complete this healer trade with Blue Rain.
They had already reached this point. Even if it was a mistake, even if they had overlooked something, they could only go all the way!
Seeing Happy's attitude, Yu Wenzhou was not shaken, but instead became even more determined.
Frenzied attacks, frenzied attacks from both sides.
Neither team's healers had any fancy positioning to avoid attacks. They could only try their best to hold on under the siege.
Happy's Little Cold Hands had low defense, but An Wenyi was a master at seizing opportunities. He could seize the opportunity to cast instant healing skills on himself even under siege. The high healing amount and critical hit rate of the healing made it feel like a miraculous recovery.
Blue Rain's Soul Speaker had high defense and more health than Little Cold Hands. Although his initial protection was interrupted by Little Cold Hands' Sacred Fire, messing up his rhythm, even so, it seemed like he should be able to survive longer than Little Cold Hands.
However, the truth was not so.
Although Soul Speaker's health was higher than Little Cold Hands', he wasn't at 100% health. He was only at 71% at this time.
This was the result of Su Mucheng's frequent suppression and harassment earlier.
In a chaotic battle, no one's character would remain at 100% health. For excellent healers, as long as they kept each character's health above the safe line that they could control, that was enough. And Xu Jingxi was in the awkward position of possibly running out of mana, so he saved as much as he could. As a result, the health of the entire Blue Rain team was lower, including himself.
As a result, in the blink of an eye, he was in a situation where he needed to use his life to hold on. Xu Jingxi immediately regretted not throwing one or two more skills on himself earlier.
Would this trade determine the outcome?
No one could say for sure right now. Little Cold Hands had weak defense, and Blue Rain had strong attacks; Soul Speaker had low health, while Happy had one less attacker but more ways to strengthen themselves.
Lord Grim's Blade Formation strengthened the Strength and Intelligence of Happy's characters.
Boundless Sea's Meridian Interception weakened Soul Speaker's Strength and Intelligence.
Wind Following the Clouds' Armor-Piercing Cannon destroyed Soul Speaker's defense.
What made Xu Jingxi even more depressed was that he finally found an opportunity to cast Life Activation on himself, but Lord Grim raised his hand and used a handful of Dispersal Powder to remove his Life Activation state.
"Both sides seem to be evenly matched at the moment," Li Yibo said cautiously after watching for a while.
"Yes, but I think Happy's attacks are more complete and well-prepared. Blue Rain's attacks don't have perfect rhythm control," Pan Lin said.
"They still have doubts in their hearts! If it weren't for this hesitation, they shouldn't have let Little Cold Hands get away with that Sacred Fire in the first place," Li Yibo said.
"They are still concerned about Happy's intentions in doing this!" Pan Lin said.
"Yes, although they slowly became determined later, it was somewhat delayed," Li Yibo said.
"Which side will be faster?" Pan Lin asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"No one will know until the last moment," Li Yibo said. This time, it wasn't that he didn't dare to make a prediction, but that he believed that as a professional-level competition, it couldn't be a pure output race. In the end, when they were about to complete the final blow, both sides would definitely use means to hinder the other.
The trade was just talk.
No matter which team, what they ultimately hoped for was to kill the opponent and keep themselves alive. So at the last moment, both sides would definitely use means to protect their own healers. Li Yibo firmly believed this.
"It's almost here!" Li Yibo suddenly said when he saw Little Cold Hands' and Soul Speaker's health both about to enter the 10% blood-red state.
"What's almost here?" Pan Lin was stunned.
"Everyone needs to watch carefully at the final moment," Li Yibo said.
"Is it the moment to decide the victory or defeat!" Pan Lin also raised his voice, stirring up the atmosphere.
On the field, as Li Yibo had predicted, changes suddenly occurred in this final stage.
A grenade suddenly flew from Gun Rain towards Happy's attack group.
Boom!
As a result, the grenade exploded halfway through its flight. There was no fire, but the strong air pressure that exploded was particularly strong in this void sand terrain, instantly creating a sandstorm.
"Implosion Grenade!" Pan Lin shouted.
Zheng Xuan's sneak attack with the Implosion Grenade would, if thrown into the Happy group, immediately blow them all away, and the siege on Soul Speaker would instantly collapse.
But Happy didn't neglect it. The moment the grenade was thrown, Lord Grim had already switched targets and successfully intercepted it.
"Worthy of being Ye Xiu!" Li Yibo praised from the bottom of his heart. Whether it was the observation of the situation or the marksmanship of this attack, there were too many things to praise.
But at this time, Yu Wenzhou's Soul Extinguisher was already chanting a spell. As a result, in the sky full of yellow sand lifted by the Implosion Grenade, it seemed like a star lit up.
It really was a star!
Star Trajectory!
The starlight quickly passed through. None of Blue Rain's four players had any means to block this attack. The suspense of the skills on Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was still emerging at this time. This Star Trajectory was something he hadn't used before.
The starlight ricocheted, hitting all four of Blue Rain's players in an instant. Although it was only a rank 1 Star Trajectory, the damage wasn't high, and there were no attack effects, but Soul Extinguisher's spell was interrupted after all. At the same time, a grenade rolled over.
Star Trajectory was just a means to attract Blue Rain's attention. The real killing move was this.
"Implosion Grenade!!" Zheng Xuan recognized the grenade at a glance, but it was too late to stop it.
Boom!
The Implosion Grenade returned to Blue Rain exploded, but because the skill rank was low, its momentum was obviously not as strong as the one from Gun Rain earlier. However, even so, Blue Rain's players were still forcibly blown away.
Immortal Guides the Way!
As a result, Huang Shaotian's Troubling Rain suddenly snatched out a skill at this moment.
Little Cold Hands, who originally wouldn't have been injured by the grenade, was also blown away, and the direction he flew in was exactly the same as Lu Hanwen's Flowing Cloud.
