Chapter 167 Meeting Five People!

"Meeting five people!" Tang Rou quickly sent a message in the Happy team channel, along with the coordinates of her Soft Mist.

The audience was surprised. The Tyranny team's five members hadn't even appeared in Tang Rou's field of vision yet, but she had already determined it was five people based on the chaotic footsteps? That was quite a sensitive and confident auditory perception! Some pro players tried closing their eyes, but even knowing it was five people, they couldn't distinguish the jumbled footsteps at all, only gathering the rough information that "there was more than one or two."

"Five people are over there?" Ye Xiu asked in surprise in the channel.

"Coming from the east."

"Then it's even more uncalled for."

Tang Rou couldn't continue the chat-like discussion with Ye Xiu. Although she had quietly retreated after detecting the movement, the canyon path was straight and flat. She could retreat, but there was no angle to conceal her figure. The Tyranny team's five members had already reached the intersection in just a few words. It was unrealistic to expect them to look straight ahead and ignore their surroundings. Pro players would subconsciously check their surroundings at such an intersection.

So Soft Mist in the southern canyon was exposed to Tyranny's view without any concealment.

The Tyranny players were also stunned.

For experienced players, after seeing the map's size, they could roughly outline the encounter time between the two sides in common situations. Although only Soft Mist was visible, even if the opponent was moving quickly alone, it seemed impossible to encounter her in this place.

Spawned in the wrong position.

The audience witnessed this situation, but as players on the field, such an unprecedented situation didn't exist in their minds. So, both Happy and Tyranny players were confused at this moment, unable to immediately deduce the reason.

But in comparison, Happy's response and thinking were simpler. Because Happy only had Tang Rou here, one against five, did she need to think too much? The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems was to flee.

But Tyranny was struggling.

Bait? Trap?

These keywords couldn't help but jump into their minds. So, when facing the lone Tang Rou, they didn't dare to swarm her immediately. Faced with an unfamiliar random map, they thought that Happy must have discovered something strange about this map, so they could appear in this direction faster than expected. Soft Mist had appeared here, but who knew what ambush was lurking behind her?

Tang Rou didn't think too much, she just retreated first. But seeing that the other party hesitated, she quickly sent a message to everyone in the channel.

Ye Xiu was leading the other four to rush over here at full speed. Upon receiving this message, he immediately overturned his previous judgment.

The previous Ye Xiu thought almost exactly the same as Tyranny: the Tyranny team appeared in an incredible position, they must have discovered a trick in this map. But at this time, seeing Tang Rou say that the other party didn't dare to attack her immediately when they encountered her alone, he immediately realized that it wasn't that simple.

Given Tyranny's style, they would have immediately besieged her if they encountered a lone person. That showed how much hesitation and concern they had. This showed that they were completely unprepared for the encounter with Happy, that is, they were as surprised to encounter Soft Mist in that location as Ye Xiu was to hear that they encountered the Tyranny team's five members there.

So, there must be some other reason that led to this impossible encounter.

Because of this small difference, Happy seemed to have taken a step ahead in controlling the situation. At least it was clear that Tyranny hadn't gained the initiative. This was a very accidental encounter.

Then...

"Maneuver appropriately!" Ye Xiu messaged in the channel.

"Maneuver?" Tang Rou was stunned. She understood the meaning of the word, but maneuvering, this kind of mixture of reality and illusion, required a good grasp of the measure. Tang Rou's style didn't match, and she lacked experience in reading the game. This task was quite difficult for her.

"Let them think more." Ye Xiu explained his intention.

"I understand." Tang Rou wasn't stupid. Tyranny was still hesitating despite having a five-on-one advantage, obviously they had concerns. Ye Xiu's meaning was to let her act in a way that would finally solidify these concerns.

Kill back?

Tang Rou thought, at least Soft Mist stopped.

This stop immediately overturned Tyranny's judgment that had just begun to take shape. They had been hesitant, but when they realized that Soft Mist was retreating very decisively and quickly, they gradually realized Tang Rou's concerns about them. Just as they were about to make the same further judgment as Ye Xiu, Soft Mist stopped, and then turned to look at them.

Was it because they didn't step forward, so the other party felt helpless?

So, the other party really had arrangements, really was trying to lure them in?

Tang Rou was really still thinking of a way! But she didn't expect her opponent's level to be so high. Just this one stop made the other party have a lot of associations. Tang Rou had already made a good start in misleading them.

But precisely in this situation, Tyranny's Zhang Xinjie gave the instruction: "We're going up."

"Ah?" Zhang Jiale was slightly surprised. If this instruction was given by Han Wenqing, he wouldn't be surprised. Directly using strength to smash through without thinking about traps or anything, that was what this captain could do. But Zhang Xinjie always considered every detail. He was actually letting everyone take the risk in this unknown situation?

"Charge up, see clearly, I'll heal." Zhang Xinjie further explained.

Not many words, but a domineering and heroic aura was completely revealed. This wasn't the domineering and heroic aura shown on the offensive end, but came from the healer. Zhang Xinjie's meaning was actually very simple: charge up and see, I will protect your lives.

Relying on strength to crush, but relying not on the attack end, but on the healing end, domineering but without losing caution, Tyranny and Zhang Xinjie's style were all retained.

"Understood! We're going up!" Zhang Jiale's Dazzling Hundred Blossoms immediately rushed out. Relying on long-range attacks to complete this kind of probing attack would be safer.

"Yingqi, protect the healer." Han Wenqing also dropped an instruction at this time, Desert Dust charged up, Lin Jingyan's Dark Thunder charged up, Song Qiying obeyed the order, and Long River Sunset stayed close to Stone Not Turning.

The Tyranny team finally charged up, but not to attack, but in a defensive posture.

"They're coming up," Tang Rou sent a message to her teammates, and Soft Mist turned and retreated.

"They're going up? So decisively! Protect yourself." Ye Xiu replied.

Anyone else would probably be crying. One against five, and you casually throw out a sentence "Protect yourself"? This instruction was given so lightly!

==============================

Today, I'm updating a small chapter to adjust things. Updating every morning was pretty good for a while. I went out and messed it up again, too bad, I want to turn it around!
