Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1484 A Smooth Offensive
Battles that occur on specific maps are rare. Strong winds are common, but winds strong enough to drastically change a character's speed are only found in the gale wind eye of Green Wilderness.
As for how much the gale can increase speed, that's unknown. The result varies depending on the character's weight and strength attributes. But judging by the rapid movement of Blue Rain's characters at this time, the increase is at least 50 percent.
Once inside the wind, Blue Rain's true strength in this map became apparent. The weight, strength, and inherent movement speed of their five characters are different. However, even under the complex influence of the gale, their formation remained exactly the same as before. Clearly, they have extensive experience in dealing with these conditions and can handle them with ease.
On the other hand, Happy knows the location of the wind eye and can follow the walkthrough route, indicating that they are not completely unfamiliar with this map and have some basic understanding. But without specific practice, understanding this much is already considered good. Fighting in the wind? Not to mention no specific practice, even if they did, they are in the headwind position, so the effect is deceleration. Compared to Blue Rain going downwind, the difference is more than 100 percent. Even ordinary players would not be able to enter the wind zone from the headwind direction at the gale wind eye of this map.
Happy naturally didn't have a wind zone. After learning that it was a gale, their entire team headed to the next wind eye target.
However, the direction Blue Rain charged out of the wind was precisely to intercept Happy's next route.
Blue Rain made a decisive judgment, right on the current situation.
The Blue Rain team, rushing downwind, rapidly left behind the trees and flowers blown askew by the gale, as if in the blink of an eye, they had already passed half of the wind zone. Ahead, the figures of Happy's five characters were already in sight.
Blue Rain didn't slow down at all, charging straight ahead.
Happy's players naturally noticed the presence of the Blue Rain team. They couldn't enter the wind zone and fight Blue Rain head-on.
"Keep moving forward!" Ye Xiu instructed.
But Blue Rain had already launched an attack.
The attack came from Zheng Xuan, that unmotivated guy. His Sharpshooter, Bullet Rain, can be said to have the longest range in the Blue Rain team.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Several grenades were thrown out at the same time. This was definitely not a continuous use of skills. Without a doubt, this was the Sharpshooter's level 70 ultimate, Chaotic Lightning!
Implosion type, timed type, poisonous gas type, electrical induction type...
Countless types of grenades were thrown out by Bullet Rain at this moment. Their speed was not faster than bullets, but at this time, the influence of the gale on them was more obvious than on bullets. They seemed like a sky full of stars, suddenly falling in front of them, creating a sense of oppression.
Boom!
This explosion came a little early, and then, in the gale, it stirred up a wave of air that spread in all directions, even more powerful than the gale.
The gale can accelerate or decelerate characters, but it still doesn't blow them away. Compared to the impact of an implosion grenade, which can blow characters away after the explosion, it is still inferior.
This implosion type in Chaotic Lightning was detonated before leaving the wind zone. In Happy's formation, the tip of Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella was smoking.
A grenade so fast in the wind zone was actually shot down in mid-air?
Coincidence? Not likely. The implosion grenade undoubtedly has the greatest destructive effect on the formation. What a coincidence that it was precisely the one that was shot down among so many grenades. This was clearly intentional.
Too terrifying.
Ye Xiu's precision was amazing. However, Lord Grim's aerial snipe did not stop there. He immediately fired another shot.
However, this shot missed. Chaotic Lightning in the wind is not something you can hit if you want to. Ye Xiu's Lord Grim hit one out of two shots, while Su Mucheng's Dancing Rain only managed to fire one shot, and it also missed.
With the effort of two shots and one cannon, the grenades had already flown into Happy's formation. Happy's players didn't have time to scatter and dodge. These grenades came too fast, and the range of restraint was too large.
So instead of scattering, they used this little bit of time to shrink a little.
Qi Circulation Shield!
The skill that Happy ultimately used to resist was Fang Rui's Boundless Sea's Qi Circulation Shield.
Not enough, right?
Everyone thought so at this moment, because the Qi Circulation Shield also has something like health, it's not invincible defense. And with so many grenades in Chaotic Lightning attacking, although some of them have special effects and low damage, the Qi Circulation Shield is far from enough to block them all.
Boom!
The Qi Circulation Shield didn't even have time to fully support itself before a grenade touched it and exploded.
A puff of green smoke spewed out, spreading and diffusing along the outer shell of the Qi Circulation Shield.
Poisonous gas is green in the game, a symbol of toxicity.
The Qi Circulation Shield seemed immune to poison, but the poisonous gas was indeed eroding it.
Immediately afterwards, another electric induction grenade exploded, and electricity flowed freely on the Qi Circulation Shield.
Then came a timed grenade. It wouldn't explode upon impact before the time limit. The grenade bounced on the Qi Circulation Shield.
Then there were several other types of grenades, such as impact-detonation and remote-control types. They seemed to hit the Qi Circulation Shield at the same time, but there was actually a slight difference.
Explosions continued, and the Qi Circulation Shield was instantly shattered. But what about the grenades that hadn't exploded and could continue to attack?
The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella opened and swung, and all the grenades that took advantage of the situation to enter exploded on the umbrella's surface. An Wenyi's Little Cold Hands immediately cast a Greater Heal, replenishing the health lost by Lord Grim holding up the umbrella as a shield.
Faced with this Chaotic Lightning from the wind, the Happy team's layered cooperation did not disrupt their formation at all.
But Blue Rain's offensive had only just begun.
Troubling Rain and Swoksaar, Blue Rain's two blade masters had already charged out side by side. They both used Triple Slash to open the way, borrowing the wind's momentum, as fast as two shooting stars. Following closely behind Chaotic Lightning, they had already broken out of the wind zone, but still borrowing the wind's momentum, their speed was still incredibly fast.
Shooting Stars Style!
Both blade masters used the same skill, but because Swoksaar used a heavy sword and Troubling Rain used a light sword, the same skill had different speeds.
Troubling Rain was faster, Swoksaar was slightly slower.
However, this slowness was relative to Troubling Rain's speed. Rushing out with the force of the wind, the momentum hadn't subsided, and then using Shooting Stars Style, the fastest skill of a blade master, this was simply a speed that human power couldn't capture.
Two figures, two streaks of sword light, passed through Happy's formation, bringing two streaks of bright red, and then the two blade masters turned around and formed a pincer attack on Happy with their teammates still in the wind, but at the same time...
"Look at the face!"
In the public channel, Steamed Bun shouted, and Steamed Bun Invasion threw out a handful of sand, aiming at the faces of Troubling Rain and Swoksaar, who had just turned around dashing.
As a result, the two reacted extremely quickly. At the same time as they turned their gazes to the left and right, the swords in their hands had already been raised.
Upward Slash.
An ordinary attack. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be difficult for Steamed Bun to dodge this attack.
But at this time, with the cooperation of two people, two Upward Slashes, one faster and one slower; one on the left and one on the right; one with a short sword and one with a long sword. As a result, the space that Steamed Bun Invasion could dodge was completely sealed off.
Fortunately, Steamed Bun wasn't the only one fighting for Happy.
Blade Draw!
Lord Grim intercepted the remaining Chaotic Lightning with the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and then was seized by the wind, hit by the unbelievably fast Shooting Stars Style. At this time, following the force of that sword, his body turned, as if chasing the blood flowers flying out of him, a Blade Draw, the sword light flashed open, and the blood arrows flying out were instantly dissected in two. This slash was directed at Troubling Rain and Swoksaar.
Clang!
A crisp sound.
Lord Grim's Blade Draw was a left-handed sword, slashing from right to left. On Troubling Rain and Swoksaar's side, Troubling Rain was on the left and Swoksaar was on the right. As soon as Lord Grim's sword came out, Troubling Rain's Upward Slash suddenly retracted, and the sword body turned downwards and stood upright, which was a Swordsman skill, Block, just right to block Lord Grim's Blade Draw.
This Blade Draw was from right to left. Once Troubling Rain blocked it, he couldn't continue to slash to the right. Swoksaar didn't need to resist, and the Upward Slash continued to be used. But Steamed Bun didn't expect such a change. Huang Shaotian released the dodging space at the last moment. It was too late for him to dodge, and he was still picked up into the air by Swoksaar's sword.
And Troubling Rain blocked this Blade Draw, his body sliding back to unload the force. Swoksaar's Upward Slash had just succeeded, and Troubling Rain, who was still sliding backwards, was already using Sword Draw the Heavens.
The sword seemed to be getting further and further away from Steamed Bun Invasion, but in the end, the dazzling sword energy brought out by the tip of the sword just happened to hit Steamed Bun Invasion.
Swoksaar's Upward Slash retracted, and following Troubling Rain's Sword Draw the Heavens, another skill was accurately released. The coordination of these two people hit Steamed Bun Invasion one after another without stopping. The exquisite cooperation of the two blade masters had silenced the entire audience.
At this end, there were two blade masters deeply invading the formation. At the other end, Swoksaar and Bullet Rain, still in the wind, were still launching attacks with the help of the wind.
However, Swoksaar is a Warlock, and his spells were still the same, unable to borrow the wind's momentum. Just standing in this wind, he couldn't borrow anything from the attacking end, but he could rely on it on the defensive end. A cannonball fired from Dancing Rain came in. Once it entered the gale wind zone, its speed obviously dropped sharply, flying with extreme difficulty. This kind of long-range attack was extremely easy to dodge. Swoksaar seemed to be standing in a safe zone, calmly chanting his incantations. Zheng Xuan's Bullet Rain continued to use the wind's momentum to greatly increase the rhythm of his attacks.
Green Wilderness, as expected of the team map selected by Blue Rain in a life-and-death battle. With a gale wind eye, they had already launched such a wonderful offensive.
