Hu Die Lan
Chapter 1019 Local Details
"生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) has entered迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen)'s field of vision, and Wei Chen immediately manipulated迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) to launch an attack. Chaos Rain has been released. Xiao Shiqin... Xiao Shiqin's 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) dodged it..." From Pan Lin's excitement at the start of the attack to the anti-climactic ending, it was a bit of a letdown. Of course, he didn't want it to be this way. He really wanted to talk about how surprised and flustered Xiao Shiqin was by Wei Chen's sudden attack.
Unfortunately, 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) made a diagonal dash and easily avoided the Chaos Rain's coverage. Xiao Shiqin's response was timely and not flustered at all. Obviously, Wei Chen's 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) staying here to launch the attack didn't bring any surprise from Li Yibo's so-called "reverse psychology on top of reverse psychology." Xiao Shiqin had been on guard early on!
After escaping the Chaos Rain, Xiao Shiqin was about to counterattack when 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen)'s incantation arrived again. A Six-Star Light Prison suddenly rose, trying to seal him in, but Xiao Shiqin reacted in time again, manipulating 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) to avoid it. At the same time, a Mechanical Tracker was released. The little robot happily went to find a target to self-destruct.
At this distance, Xiao Shiqin didn't expect this skill to hurt 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen). The main purpose was to create a kind of restraint, share the opponent's attention, and prevent the opponent from attacking him so comfortably.
But Wei Chen seemed not to see the little robot. 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) danced the Death's Hand and continued to point and poke at 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie), releasing one curse after another. Until the little robot was almost at his feet, Death's Hand casually pointed, and a Shadow Arrow shot out, with a boom, the little robot was smashed to pieces. 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) was not affected at all and continued his offensive.
"Xiao Shiqin tried to use a Mechanical Tracker to distract Wei Chen's attention, but obviously he failed. Wei Chen is indeed a very experienced player. This method can't interfere with him at all," commentator Pan Lin quickly commented after seeing this scene.
"After defeating two opponents with obviously insufficient competition experience in a row, Xiao Shiqin needs some adjustments in this game, and he can't maintain his inertial thinking!" Li Yibo said with emotion.
But Xiao Shiqin didn't need anyone to remind him of this.
Seeing that his little interference had no effect, Xiao Shiqin was also feeling emotional about the opponent's experience. As a player who entered the league in the fourth season, Xiao Shiqin had no experience playing against Wei Chen on the field. To prepare for this competition, he also found some old competition recordings to watch. From a technical and tactical point of view, watching those recordings didn't help much, because Glory was based on online games. Each level cap increase was equivalent to a technical and tactical innovation. Watching the competition recordings from the 50th level era a few years ago wouldn't help him grasp his opponent's playing style today. Xiao Shiqin just wanted to understand the style of this opponent from the old games. Because from the current Challenger League, Xiao Shiqin felt that the information he got was far from enough, because in the Challenger League, the strength of the duels was too different most of the time, and there was no reference value at all.
After watching the old Blue Rain team's competition recordings, Xiao Shiqin's deepest feeling was: Huang Shaotian really inherited Blue Rain team's glorious tradition of talking trash!
At the same time, Xiao Shiqin was once again gratified that Yu Wenzhou's hand speed was not good, otherwise, the two ace players of Blue Rain would probably completely inherit Blue Rain team's style of trash talk, which would be a disaster for the entire league.
Fortunately, fortunately...
After rejoicing about this, Xiao Shiqin, of course, also understood Wei Chen's performance style. This was a player who put psychological warfare first. Many times, some of his manipulation of his opponents might make people feel disrespectful, but obviously it was just a means he used to disturb his opponent's mind. Because every time this kind of manipulation was accompanied by an extremely sharp offensive.
And the Warlock, a profession proficient in control, was simply tailor-made for this kind of play style. As for whether Wei Chen developed this combat style because of this profession, or whether he chose this profession because of his combat style, Xiao Shiqin didn't know. From the study of these competition materials, Xiao Shiqin deeply realized that he needed a more peaceful and stable state of mind when confronting this opponent. But this was actually very difficult. People could restrain their behavior, but how could they restrain their hearts? Therefore, it could be seen from the competition materials that many players who were obviously very strong lost particularly miserably in the competition with Wei Chen, and the gap in the scene was completely beyond their level.
However, there were exceptions to this, the most prominent of which was Ye Xiu, who was sitting off the field now, as Wei Chen's teammate. In those years' competitions, there was a kind of feeling that one side had just pulled up its posture to prepare to tease, but the other side had already arrived in front of him, slapping him a few times without asking questions, followed by a violent beating, directly beating you into oblivion, because you were already dead.
That's how it was...
Xiao Shiqin found a way to deal with Wei Chen, and the biggest inspiration for him was precisely Ye Xiu, who now needed to win the victory together with Wei Chen.
生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie), who had been dodging 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen)'s attacks, suddenly stopped and was accurately hit by a Voodoo Art.
It was just a state of continuous health loss. Xiao Shiqin smiled, and 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) didn't dodge this attack, but forcibly launched his attack.
Hunter!
This was not the kind of probing like the Mechanical Tracker. The Hunter's speed was much faster than the Mechanical Tracker. As soon as the Mechanical Hound landed, it immediately ran wildly towards 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen).
Blood-sucking Art, Entangling Spirits.
生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) was then hit by two more state-based curses. Xiao Shiqin had no intention of dodging at all. He manipulated 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) to avoid the control-based Binding Art. While taking two curses head-on, 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie) launched two more skills.
Mechanical Airdrop, Autonomous Artillery.
Following behind the Hunter, the attacks from above and below were launched together. Although 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie)'s body was entangled with negative states, these were not fatal. He wanted to use a strong attack to destroy the opponent's control.
As a chanting profession, Warlocks really couldn't continue to chant spells under such a dense offensive. 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) withdrew and left.
"迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) retreated! Xiao Shiqin sacrificed three negative states in exchange for an opportunity to attack, launching a dense barrage of fire. Wei Chen had to choose to retreat. 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) started to move, huh... only moved here... here..."
At the moment of commentator Pan Lin's hesitation, the Mechanical Airdrop's surprise attack arrived. Bombs rolled down from the belly of the Helicopter Gourd, and explosions continued one after another. However, they only floated above 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen)'s head, and at most, only some broken bricks fell. With these few steps of retreat, 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) had found cover for his head. The bombs from the Mechanical Airdrop could only be thrown on this extra row of platforms.
"Wei Chen found good cover. 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) won't be hit by the Mechanical Airdrop at all here, but there's also the Autonomous Artillery, oh... the Autonomous Artillery can't hit either. There's also cover in front of 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen). The Autonomous Artillery can't raise its muzzle to such a high angle."
The mechanical props summoned by the Mechanic were not some ferocious steel behemoths. Most of them were precise little machines. The Helicopter Gourd that performed the Mechanical Airdrop was about the size of a watermelon in real proportion, and the Autonomous Artillery was even more miniature. A washbasin was enough to cover it on the ground.
The size limited the attacks of these guys from being indestructible. Otherwise, if the Mechanical Airdrop was really like a bomber bombing, wouldn't the entire map be blown up in the blink of an eye?
So at this time, Wei Chen found two covers, which easily blocked these two attacks. Standing behind a chest-high wall, 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen)'s chanting of spells wasn't delayed. After retreating to this position, he continued his offensive against 生灵灭 (Shenglin Mie). As for the Hunter who rushed out the earliest, it had long been locked aside by 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen)'s Six-Star Light Prison. That stupid dog was fearless and insisted on breaking out of the Six-Star Light Prison. Challenging the skill judgment in this way finally judged itself as a pile of scrap iron.
The attack launched by Xiao Shiqin after taking three state skills was thus blocked. The great contribution was not made by anything else, but just a platform and a half-height wall.
"Wei Chen made good use of the terrain to block the attack launched by Xiao Shiqin. At the beginning of the competition, we said that Team Excellent Era should have had more time than Team Happy to study the final map and should have a deeper understanding. Xiao Shiqin's performance has been confirming our view. He is so familiar with this map that it is as if it is his usual home map. But the two map details that Wei Chen used to intercept his attack, it seems that he didn't study them beforehand!" Pan Lin said.
"This... Xiao Shiqin may not have noticed it, he probably just didn't expect Wei Chen to react so quickly like this!" Li Yibo said.
"It seems that Xiao Shiqin underestimated Wei Chen's familiarity with the map. Not to mention anything else, Wei Chen has been staying in this area since the beginning of the game. He would be familiar with it even if he just looked at it! Haha..." Pan Lin said this half-jokingly, but Li Yibo on the side was stunned when he heard it.
He remembered that at the beginning of the competition, Wei Chen's 迎风布阵 (Yingfeng Buzhen) didn't leave, but just wandered around the refresh point. Could it be that this guy was indeed studying the map? Was he planning to fight Xiao Shiqin head-on here, so he used the time after the start of the competition to personally study this randomly refreshed location?
Yes, it must be like this!
Li Yibo could be completely sure of his guess, because in the competition at this time, Wei Chen once again used the terrain to beautifully resolve Xiao Shiqin's attack, and Pan Lin was exclaiming about it!
But he couldn't say this discovery! Because before, he was talking eloquently, saying that Wei Chen staying at the refresh point was some kind of "reverse psychology on top of reverse psychology." Now, saying that Wei Chen was actually using that time to study the terrain, wasn't that like slapping himself in the face?
