Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1048 Diversion

Poor Zhang Jiaxing's class was a cleric. In this situation, he could assist Shen Jian in holding on for longer, but he couldn't break the deadlock. If he was slightly careless, he might even get himself caught.

Hesitant, Zhang Jiaxing didn't dare to send his cleric, Zhiying, forward rashly. At this moment, he hoped that Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher could return sooner. However, how could Happy's precise tactical arrangement not take this situation into account? Although Ye Xiu wasn't here, Tang Rou and the other three still fought with a clear plan. Shen Jian's Striker, Lian Jin, was sent into Qiao Yifan's ghost array, and Qiao Yifan immediately unleashed a burst of attacks without stopping. In just an instant, Qiao Yifan's Inch of Gray jumped to the top of the output statistics for this match. The one who ultimately took on the responsibility of the main attacker in this wave of Happy's offensive was actually a ghost swordsman, which was probably unexpected by many people.

Whether it was Zhang Jiaxing or Shen Jian, when they were attacked, most of their attention was focused on the vanguard, Soft Mist. They somewhat neglected the ghost swordsman, who mostly played a supporting role. And now, they had paid the price. Lian Jin, who had fallen into Inch of Gray's ghost array, instantly had a chunk of his life wiped away. When Inch of Gray detonated the Ghost God's Feast, Happy's cleric, Little Cold Hands, also put a Holy Light on Lian Jin. Tang Rou's Soft Mist and Wu Chen's Dawn Rifle simultaneously detonated their strongest attacks at this moment.

Boom!

The explosions of the Launcher were the most deafening. Ghost gods rampaged in the flames, and Soft Mist's valiant figure was blurred. Shen Jian was instantly beaten to the point where he couldn't find north, only seeing his character's life plummeting.

Where's Zhiying?

At this moment, Shen Jian even forgot that Zhiying was supposed to be the one he was protecting. He was hoping that Zhiying could quickly save him.

A cleric was somewhat powerless to break such an offensive, but it was more than enough to hold the line. Zhang Jiaxing saw that Happy was pulling Shen Jian's Lian Jin to the side while attacking, as if they were street fighting and pulling someone into a small alley.

Pulling people into a small alley was to avoid too many onlookers. At this time, Happy's actions were naturally to delay the time for Life Extinguisher to come to the rescue as much as possible.

Zhang Jiaxing saw that if he really let Shen Jian hold on, he would probably be beaten to death. He couldn't care about anything else and quickly controlled Zhiying to take a few steps forward and begin healing Shen Jian's Lian Jin.

However, before the healing spell could be cast, a cannonball had already smashed in front of him. Wu Chen noticed Zhiying's movements and immediately turned the muzzle to stop Zhang Jiaxing from healing.

Interrupting healing was a very basic lesson in team battles. Wu Chen was indeed not a particularly outstanding player, but his strength lay in his solid basic skills. Because he knew his talent was limited, and he couldn't make any breakthroughs in high-end areas, he instead focused on practicing these basic things until they were solid. At this time, his interruption of the healing made the core healer of Excellent Era feel very uncomfortable. After all, Zhang Jiaxing didn't have any cover now and was exposed to the opponent's muzzle while chanting to heal.

Again and again, Wu Chen accurately grasped the rhythm of Zhiying's healing incantation. In the blink of an eye, there were already four failures in chanting.

Zhang Jiaxing felt helpless. In the end, he could only cast the instant Healing Spell. The Healing Spell didn't need to be chanted, and the healing amount wasn't low, but it consumed a lot of mana and had a long cooldown time. Usually, healers would regard it as a life-saving ultimate move, saving it as much as possible and using it only at the critical moment of the match point. But now, Zhang Jiaxing had no choice. If he didn't help Shen Jian's Lian Jin hold on, this moment might turn into a match point that would affect the outcome. Although Zhang Jiaxing's original idea was that three against four wouldn't be a problem, and it shouldn't be a big deal to lose one person first, after witnessing the damage caused by Happy's wave of tactics, Zhang Jiaxing didn't dare to be so optimistic.

With the Healing Spell, Wu Chen really couldn't interrupt it. Although they could focus fire on a target in team matches, it wasn't easy to take away a target in one wave, because of the existence of healing classes.

Tang Rou and the others had tried their best, but in the end, they couldn't successfully take away Xiao Jian's Lian Jin. As a wave of Mechanical Drop arrived, Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher finally arrived to rescue.

Even so, Happy was still four against three, an advantage in numbers. But they didn't stay any longer. Before Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher completely returned, the four characters began to retreat rapidly.

Happy had begun this wave of offensive with the air of a powerhouse, with their star player restraining the opponent's main force and the others using a numerical advantage. But in the end, they ended in a very non-powerhouse way. In a situation with a numerical advantage, they actually chose to retreat.

"Oh..." The commentator Pan Lin felt a little regret. "Lian Jin doesn't have much health left..."

"But Xiao Shiqin has already rushed back. With his cover, Zhang Jiaxing can better carry out effective treatment, and the scene will be pulled back to a head-on confrontation. With four against three, Happy does have a numerical advantage, but what about their technique and character strength? Especially the healer, who is crucial to the team battle, the level of Happy's healer is quite ordinary!" Li Yibo commented.

"Indeed." Pan Lin nodded, "If this were a strong team with similar strength to Excellent Era, this tactical sneak attack might become the turning point of the match!"

"Not necessarily." Li Yibo smiled, "If this were really a strong team with similar strength to Excellent Era, Excellent Era might not have handled it this way. Look, after being attacked from behind, only Xiao Shiqin's Life Extinguisher returned to help, but Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei are still clinging to Ye Xiu!"

"It seems that Excellent Era also thinks that three people are enough to deal with Happy's four!"

"That's one reason. Secondly, I think Excellent Era doesn't want to miss this opportunity for Ye Xiu to be alone! For Excellent Era, what is Happy's biggest threat? Of course, it's Ye Xiu. If they can kick him out of the match first, then this match can be said to be largely settled. I think Happy has neglected this point. They only focused on letting Ye Xiu attract the opponent's attention, forgetting that this is also giving the opponent a chance!" Li Yibo said.

"Okay, let's quickly take a look at the scene here..." Pan Lin said.

For their TV broadcast, the current situation was the most difficult for them. Because the battle was divided into two parts. The camera had previously given Happy this wave of sneak attacks, but the entanglement between Ye Xiu and Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei had never stopped!

"Currently, Ye Xiu's situation seems to be a bit passive!" Pan Lin said immediately as the camera turned to this battle.

This was originally a very talked-about one-on-two match. Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei, weren't they both Ye Xiu's successors? It was rare to have such an environment in the team competition where they could directly talk to each other without anyone else disturbing. But the moment the camera turned to this, they saw Ye Xiu's Lord Grim shrink into a ball, using a Flying Gun technique to fly backwards from the gap between One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format's spears. The extremely precise operation made Pan Lin's scalp tingle, and he couldn't bother to render this duel anymore. People had been fighting for a long time, and maybe the climax had already been missed.

Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart!

As soon as Lord Grim emerged from the pincer attack, Battle Format followed up with a big move, his spear flashing straight at Lord Grim's chest. The Myriad Manifestations Umbrella instantly changed. In mid-air, Lord Grim used a Guard, accurately parrying the attack, and then quickly changed back to gun form. With the impact of the Furious Dragon Pierces the Heart, coupled with the recoil of a shot, Lord Grim flew backwards as fast as lightning. One Autumn Leaf's assassination after Battle Format had no choice but to stab into the air.

After Lord Grim landed, he didn't come up to fight with the two of them again. He turned around and was about to leave. Everyone saw that the Happy team's team channel had sent a message from the four of them, saying that their attack was over. In this way, Ye Xiu would naturally not entangle with the two of them anymore. He didn't think that he could solve the two of them in a one-on-two fight.

"Lord Grim retreated. Now both sides are retreating, and Excellent Era is chasing. Happy just launched an offensive, but from the current situation, how does it seem like Excellent Era is taking the initiative?" Pan Lin said.

"There's no way to do this. If Happy's wave of attacks had successfully solved one of Excellent Era's members, then it wouldn't be the current situation. But unfortunately, they didn't succeed, and Excellent Era turned around and counterattacked." Li Yibo said.

"So, Happy's wave of offensive just now should be considered a failure?"

"It didn't achieve the expected results, so it should be considered a failure. I don't think Happy would just be thinking of doing a little damage to Lian Jin and consuming some of Zhiying's mana, right? That would be too much fanfare, and it wouldn't be worth putting Ye Xiu in danger."

"Okay, now both sides of Happy are trying their best to get rid of the pursuit." Pan Lin said, and the broadcast was constantly switching between the two cameras.

"Currently, the four people on this side are obviously worse off! The larger number of people makes their actions less flexible, and the overall movement speed is also at a disadvantage."

"In this situation, it's probably not realistic for Happy to get rid of them. I think they probably still have to go all out." Li Yibo said.

"Let's look at Ye Xiu's side... Ah, he got rid of them! Lord Grim's movement speed is actually not superior to One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format... How did he do it?" With such a switch of the camera, they actually missed Lord Grim's escape from the pursuit of the two Battle Mages, which surprised Pan Lin. Fortunately, there was no substantial contact between the two sides, so there was time to replay it. So the process of Ye Xiu getting rid of the two pursuers was replayed.

"Old ginger is still spicier..." After watching it, Li Yibo said with deep emotion.

Ye Xiu didn't race with these two, but made full use of the terrain. From the beginning of the retreat, he obviously already knew where to go to get rid of them. Sure enough, after rushing into this area with many shelters, with a few turns, Lord Grim disappeared from the sight of the two. And now, Lord Grim had left, while One Autumn Leaf and Battle Format were still spinning around in circles!

Ye Xiu is such a great god, even his hide-and-seek skills are so exquisite, making people sigh in admiration. Sun Xiang is also at the level of a top god, but in this respect, he was obviously completely defeated.

"Ye Xiu ran away." In the team channel, Sun Xiang and Qiu Fei had to greet each other.

Hearing this news, Xiao Shiqin suddenly felt a sense of urgency in his heart.

Could it be... Xiao Shiqin hoped that what he thought wasn't true.

"Stop chasing! Report coordinates, rendezvous." Xiao Shiqin gave instructions in the team channel.
