Chapter 112 The Realization of the Truth

The recovery spell was a method of healing that jumped blood within a unit of time. The amount of recovery per jump was not large to begin with, and with Lord Grim's (Jun Mo Xiao) dismal healing configuration, each jump was even more dismal. In fact, after a few jumps, it was still basically within the range of a single strike from those powerful Jiashi (Excellent Era) characters. It was just that this jump after jump was a torment to the minds of the Jiashi players.

Even more deadly was that Happy's (Xing Xin) priest was probably about to arrive. Although that priest's skills were not high-end, in this kind of situation, he was enough to become a key player in determining the outcome. Xiao Shiqin suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known that after killing Xiaochang (晓枪), he would have taken the opportunity to intercept the other side's replacement area, he might have been able to intercept the opponent's priest. Entangled with Hanyanrou (寒烟柔), the result was such a result, which was really embarrassing!

But the match had already reached this point, and it was useless to regret it any further. Hanyanrou was still the target they had to kill next, before the other side's healer arrived.

Xiao Shiqin's concise deployment in the channel, the double battle mage combination of Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei directly broke through Happy's four-man formation. Just now, they besieged Tang Rou's Hanyanrou, and as a result, Happy played an inside-outside cooperation. This time, Happy surrounded Wang Ze's Huochai (火柴), and it was their turn to cooperate from the inside and outside.

Wang Ze had only just joined the battle after all. Huochai's state was full, so he didn't panic too much when Happy caught him and surrounded him. This time, Jiashi's reinforcements came very quickly. One Autumn Leaf (Yi Ye Zhi Qiu) and Battle Format (Zhan Dou Ge Shi) pounced over, not rushing to save Huochai, but still aiming for Hanyanrou. Hanyanrou, who only had a layer of health left, could be said to have survived until now by a miracle. Without a healer, focusing too much on protecting such a character would in fact make the whole team very passive. But the problem was that Happy had never done this. Hanyanrou with 20% health was charging, and Hanyanrou with only the last drop of blood was still cooperating with Lord Grim to give Battle Format a complete Rising Dragon Soars the Sky (Fu Long Xiang Tian). Hanyanrou's existence had become a strategic constraint on the Jiashi team. She was like a bait, influencing Jiashi's intentions. Not only did she not become a burden, but she also used every minute and second she was on the field extremely efficiently.

Xiao Shiqin had obviously realized this problem. Jiashi readjusted and did not put all their energy on Hanyanrou. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei's duo launched an attack on Happy's lineup, while Xiao Shiqin's Sheng Lingmie (生灵灭) took a roundabout route from the other direction.

What was he trying to do?

Pan Lin and Li Yibo looked at each other, not understanding for a moment, and did not dare to speak. Xiao Shiqin did not explain what he was going to do when he made his deployment in the channel.

Sheng Lingmie hurried on his way with great speed, racing against time. While rushing, he also paid attention to Happy's movements from time to time. When he found that no one was paying attention to him at all, Sheng Lingmie's actions seemed to have a hint of hesitation.

And at this moment, everyone finally saw Xiao Shiqin's intention. After understanding his intention, everyone couldn't help but think of a line from a song that was popular many years ago: The tears fell from my eyes when I finally knew the truth.

Yes, Xiao Shiqin's Sheng Lingmie was going to intercept Happy's incoming priest, but the problem was, he went in the wrong direction…

The audience had God's perspective, so they knew from the beginning which substitution area Little Cold Hands (Xiao Shou Bing Liang) had returned to the match from. He didn't take the substitution area closest to the battle. At the time, everyone thought it was unbelievable. At this moment, everyone understood. It was too easy to guess that he would enter from this substitution area. Happy had been guarding against this move for a long time. They were quite careful about the healing advantage they had managed to establish.

Xiao Shiqin controlled Sheng Lingmie to rush in this direction for a while, but he didn't see Little Cold Hands' figure, and immediately knew that something was wrong. Calculating from the speed, he should have been able to see the other party at this time. Now that he didn't see anyone, it at least showed that the other party was prepared for his interception, whether he detoured or took another substitution area.

Another misjudgment made Xiao Shiqin feel a little tired. He found that he really couldn't grasp Happy's tactical thinking at all.

He understood Ye Xiu, but the Ye Xiu he was familiar with was the one who was in a wealthy team. Now, this Ye Xiu leading a grassroots team was showing a more complex tactical style. While he had the cunning of a small and medium-sized team, he also showed the oppressiveness of a wealthy team from time to time.

In the choice of substitution area, from Xiao Shiqin's experience in leading a weak team, entering nearby was almost a certain choice, because the weak team needed the healer to arrive quickly to help them maintain the advantage they had managed to win. But Happy's team was extremely bold, and dared to let the priest spend more time on the road. Xiao Shiqin had never had this kind of strong confidence when he led Thunder (Lei Ting).

In the end, was it because he still lacked confidence?

When he was in Thunder, had he ever thought of leading that team to aim for the championship?

No, never.

The outside world thought that Thunder was a weak team, and it was a very successful performance to be able to enter the playoffs every year. Therefore, Thunder themselves, and Xiao Shiqin, had always thought so. Their goal every year was to get into the playoffs, and after entering the playoffs, they just let the days pass. They were obviously very eager for the championship, but they didn't believe that their team had the strength to win the championship.

In the end, for the championship, Xiao Shiqin left Thunder. Although there was no criticism from the outside world, and even agreed that he should have made such a choice long ago. But at this time, Xiao Shiqin finally knew that he was still weak, and did not completely trust his teammates, nor did he completely trust himself. Compared to the opponent in front of him, he really had a big gap. This person dared to participate in the Challenger League with a grassroots team pieced together from Internet cafes, and challenged a wealthy team like Excellent Era. How many people regarded it as a joke? But now, this joke was moving towards reality step by step.

And what about him? Although he had repeatedly created victories of the weak against the strong in the Thunder team, he had never really had confidence. Now it seemed, why had he never had it? Thunder could have victories against strong teams in the regular season, so why couldn't they replicate this victory in the playoffs? As long as they replicated it three times, their Thunder could also win the championship?

In the end, he only had the confidence to win those matches that should be won. And the man in front of him had the courage and confidence to create miracles!

When Xiao Shiqin's Sheng Lingmie rushed back to the battlefield, the situation had already changed a bit.

Hanyanrou was finally killed.

Tang Rou would not allow herself to become a burden that everyone had to protect with all their might. Even if she only had the last drop of blood left, she was still actively fighting on the field, contributing her output. She stubbornly supported for a while longer, and finally fell. At that moment, the audience burst into applause. Even Jiashi fans chose to remain silent at this moment. At this moment of life and death, they could not give applause to their opponents, but at least they could use silence to show their respect. In the individual competition, Tang Rou lost in frustration, but in this team competition, she finally left a very deep impression on people. Although sometimes her performance was hard to define as either brave or reckless, in this team competition, her brave or reckless performance was the key to Happy's ability to fight to the current situation.

In the time it took for Xiao Shiqin to rush to intercept the healer but find nothing, although the three of Jiashi successfully sent off Hanyanrou, they themselves also suffered a lot of damage, especially Wang Ze's Huochai. From the beginning, he was attacked by Baozi and Qiao Yifan, and then Lord Grim protected Hanyanrou to join in the fun. Happy's focus next was not to protect Hanyanrou, but to continue to strengthen the attack on Huochai.

One Inch Ash's (Yi Cun Hui) ghost array played a very strong protective role at this time. One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format, two melee professions, had to enter the ghost array range to attack Happy's characters. If they didn't enter, they could only watch the other party besiege Huochai there.

There were also some techniques to break through the restriction of the ghost array, but overall, the existence of the ghost swordsman made One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format particularly uncomfortable. The support Wang Ze's Huochai received in this situation was also very limited, and he himself failed to break through the encirclement. When Xiao Shiqin's Sheng Lingmie rushed back, Hanyanrou was already gone, but Huochai's situation was also precarious.

Xiao Shiqin looked back at the pile of negative states on the two battle mages and felt quite helpless. Originally, as a ranged attacker, the ghost array had a limited impact on his control, but he happened to be a mechanic in the range, and many of his mechanical props could not break through the ghost array. Therefore, breaking through the restriction system of the ghost array was also quite difficult for a mechanic. Otherwise, Xiao Shiqin would definitely have stayed behind himself and let someone else intercept the priest. The combination of double battle mages was not always so absolute that it could not be broken up.

And now, because of the existence of the array ghost, they could not exert their full power. A sharpshooter who could not be greatly affected by the array ghost was captured by the other party early on.

Xiao Shiqin would not think this was a coincidence at all. This match made him fully realize the horror of Ye Xiu's tactics, with interlocking links and murderous steps. Every player and character in Happy's team was used to the extreme, from Wu Chen and his Xiaochang at the beginning, to Tang Rou and Hanyanrou, and now, was it Qiao Yifan and his One Inch Ash's turn?

We must find a way to solve this array ghost!

No… wait…

Xiao Shiqin was thinking about countermeasures when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Array ghost, the focus of the next attack should be this array ghost, but in this case, I am afraid that we will once again fall into Happy's involvement?

This match, from the beginning, was like this. Happy's people showed their skills one after another, and then Jiashi locked the target time and time again, and then was led by these targets extremely passively…

Yes, that's how it is. The key to Happy's tactical link is actually here!
