Hu Die Lan

Chapter 1173 The Raging Duan River

Ice Line, a skill belonging to element mages, suddenly appeared.

It was hard to tell whether this was unexpected or not, things were so complicated.

In the absence of an element mage, the appearance of an element mage skill should certainly be unexpected. But this match had a shapeshifter, Lord Grim, so maybe it wasn't so unexpected. But shapeshifters should only have pre-class-change, low-level skills, and Ice Line wasn't one of those, so it should be unexpected. However, when Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella used Cloud Grasping Fist, everyone realized that shapeshifters could also master high-level skills through their weapons.

Especially after Cloud Grasping Fist, the shapeshifter Lord Grim had already used other high-level skills through the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. Now, with the appearance of the element mage's Ice Line again, everyone deeply realized a terrifying reality.

A normal weapon could only have one skill attached. But the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, because of its form-changing ability, could have a skill belonging to that profession attached to each form. It was common knowledge that attaching skills wasn't a complicated crafting process. The materials and skill scrolls needed to attach skills weren't as difficult to obtain as rare materials. Therefore, the skills on professional characters' weapons were often changed. Depending on the opponent, they would often choose a skill that they felt was most useful and attach it to their weapon for the next match.

One weapon, one transformation.

But the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella…

Everyone didn't want to think about it anymore; it was too much of a headache.

The Hundred Blossoms team didn't have time to worry about such a distant headache, because they were already victims of this change. Did the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella have the Ice Line skill? The pre-match data didn't mention it. Although it could be said that this point was reasoned out and the Hundred Blossoms team should have been wary, that was easier said than done. This inference meant that Lord Grim could use all the skills of all the professions in Glory. 24 professions, hundreds of skills; even if they were all aerial combos, they all had their own characteristics and uses. Now it was all the skills, making it impossible to defend against.

What was even more fatal was that Ye Xiu's skill release was so concealed. When was this Ice Line laid down? The Hundred Blossoms players didn't notice at all. Now that it was triggered simultaneously, none of them could escape.

The mid-to-high-level skills that Lord Grim mastered through his weapon only had one rank, so their power wouldn't be too great. His Ice Line's freezing time wasn't long, but it was enough. How long would it take for Happy to adjust and recover?

Laying down this Ice Line meant that the subsequent attacks were already planned.

When Zhou Guangyi's Ji Leng struggled to climb ashore from the rushing river for the second time, all he could see were large swaths of attacking light and shadow, which almost made it impossible for him to look straight at the screen. His teammates had already been swallowed up by these light and shadows. He couldn't find their positions. All he could see was the collective decline of the three teammates' health bars on the team character list.

Under such oppressive attacks, it was impossible for the priest to chant and cast spells. Instant-cast skills could save the day in a crisis, but in a continuous crisis like this that couldn't be broken, a few instant-cast skills were useless.

Zhou Guangyi was their last hope, and he knew this very well. He didn't retreat, nor did he rashly charge forward. He controlled Ji Leng to move quickly along the river bank to widen his field of vision. Finally, he saw the Happy trio bombarding them.

Mu Yu-Chengfeng, Hai Wu-Liang, One Inch Ash.

No time to hesitate, charge!

Ji Leng flashed forward, and Mu Yu-Chengfeng's cannon quietly turned.

Boom!

A cannonball flew over.

Zhou Guangyi, who had already been bombed into the river twice, was now fiercely defending himself. At the same time as the muzzle flashed, he had already made a turn, deftly dodging. He didn't use Arc Flash, a skill that was difficult to change direction or retract once used. Without teammates to cover him, it was impossible to break through the opponent's multiple defenses with this move.

Mu Yu-Chengfeng's cannon missed, and she threw out a Gatling gun, bullets sweeping wildly.

Zhou Guangyi activated Swift Steps, and then used Sprint. Ji Leng's movement was at its peak, and he weaved through the hail of bullets in a dazzling fashion. With a beautiful arc-shaped movement, he finally reached the vicinity of the three.

A flash of cold light!

At this distance, Arc Flash could finally be used without hesitation. Zhou Guangyi believed that no skill could be faster than him. One Inch Ash raised his blade, and ghostly power condensed, as if to meet him with a Ghost Slash.

But was there enough time?

The cold light fell, and One Inch Ash's Ghost Slash didn't have time to cast, a bloody flower spurted from his chest, and he staggered backward. Zhou Guangyi didn't rush to hunt him down. Hai Wu-Liang was still bombarding his teammates with great enthusiasm. He wanted to help his teammates escape first. He couldn't fight so many opponents alone. The only thing he could do was suddenly disrupt the rhythm.

Turning around quickly, Ji Leng thrust a Heart Piercing Stab at Hai Wu-Liang. Suddenly, his body flew up. Zhou Guangyi quickly turned his view and saw Lord Grim, holding the spear form of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella high, using a Circle Swing to launch him.

Where did this guy come from?

Zhou Guangyi was extremely depressed.

Ye Xiu, he was not unfamiliar with him. Although he was not a player from that era, he was born in Tyranny. Which team knew Ye Xiu better than Tyranny?

But the Ye Xiu in front of him, the Ye Xiu with Lord Grim, Zhou Guangyi found that he really couldn't judge him.

Ji Leng was knocked to the ground, but his sudden attack still had a significant disruptive effect. From Su Mu-Cheng to Qiao Yi-Fan to Ye Xiu, Happy had successively launched attacks on him to subdue him. Targeting Ji Leng naturally eased the offensive against the three of them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zou Yuan used a Launcher's ultimate skill, "Scattered Thunder."

This skill also had a beautiful name besides its technical name, called Celestial Maiden Scattering Flowers. Dazzling Hundred Blossoms crossed his hands and reached into his waist, and when he came out, his fingers were full of various grenades. With a flick of his wrist, all these grenades of various colors were thrown out.

These grenades were of complex varieties. There were ordinary impact explosion types, explosive compression types with extremely strong impact, timer types that exploded after a set time, poisonous gas types that released toxic gas, and so on. In short, it was a comprehensive burst of various grenades that the Launcher specialized in, and they were all thrown towards the Happy players.

Because too many grenades were thrown out at once, it was impossible to immediately identify all the types of grenades. Happy didn't dare to take the damage head-on. Many of the Launcher's grenades weren't just for damage. Take the explosive compression grenade, for example. The damage wasn't too great, but the extremely strong impact force couldn't be completely resisted even by a super armor state. If any formation was hit by an explosive compression grenade, the formation would instantly fall into disarray.

Rather than being passive, it was better to be proactive. The Happy players scattered in different directions. Various colored bombs exploded in the places where they originally stood. Fire, black smoke, green poisonous gas symbolizing poison, and extremely strong shock waves spread out in an instant.

The Happy team didn't dodge completely. Qiao Yi-Fan's One Inch Ash was too close to the core at the beginning, and was finally touched by the poisonous gas when dodging. He was now in a poisoned state, and his health was declining every second.

And Su Mu-Cheng's Mu Yu-Chengfeng was hit by the shock wave of the explosive compression bomb while flying away with aerial artillery, and was blasted even further away.

Hundred Blossoms seized this hard-won opportunity. Mo Chu-Chen's priest found cover and quickly began to chant for healing. Zhu Xiao-Ping's summoner, Wind Carved, also summoned reinforcements to help, and Dazzling Hundred Blossoms, who won the turning point for Hundred Blossoms, was even more majestic, with another grenade in each hand, and a variety of core auras glaring at the entire field. But after a quick scan, he was shocked to find: Lord Grim, Hai Wu-Liang, and Ji Leng, where were they?

"In the water!" Zhou Guangyi seemed to have realized that he might be considered missing by his teammates, and quickly sent a message in the channel.

Just in the confusion just now, he didn't expect Fang Rui to not forget to trick him while dodging. Hai Wu-Liang, with Wind Circling Clouds activated, passed by him very casually, and wanted to pat him very affectionately. Zhou Guangyi dodged at the time, but didn't dodge completely. His shoulder was patted, and that pat was actually a powerful Qi Explosion. Ji Leng was lifted out.

Tearfully looking at the broken river under him, Zhou Guangyi was about to use Aerial Leap to jump back, when Lord Grim suddenly appeared above him, stamping down with Eagle Stamp, and then adding a Silver Light Falling Blade, he directly pressed him into the water. Then Fang Rui's Hai Wu-Liang also jumped into the water without hesitation, two-on-one, beating Ji Leng in the water!

The Hundred Blossoms players saw the channel message and quickly looked towards the river. But the Broken River was rushing, and the three of them were fighting fiercely at the bottom of the water. From the surface of the water, there was nothing unusual to see.

"Where!" Zou Yuan asked anxiously in the channel.

Obviously, Zhou Guangyi wouldn't have actively reported his location if he didn't urgently need support.

"Washed away" Zhou Guangyi was so concise! Even the punctuation marks were gone.

Zou Yuan and the others were shocked! Rushing to the end of the broken river would mean rushing out of the map and instant death. Zhou Guangyi was so anxious, the situation might be quite unfavorable. Looking in front of them, Su Mu-Cheng, Qiao Yi-Fan, and An Wen-Yi's characters were all there, but Ye Xiu and Fang Rui were gone. Could it be that they were dealing with Zhou Guangyi in the water?

Zou Yuan and the other three were in a dilemma! If they went to save Zhou Guangyi, there were still three people in front of them that were difficult to get rid of. If they didn't go, Zhou Guangyi's Ji Leng would probably be in dire straits. Just as they were struggling, a figure flashed out of the stone forest, riding a broom, flying directly to the river surface, and plunging into the bottom of the river with a plop.

Zhang Wei!

Hundred Blossoms' sixth player entered the match from the respawn point in the stone forest. After seeing the message in the channel, he went directly to the river and went into the water. Zou Yuan and the other three saw that this was finally some support, so they were relieved and tried to hold off the three of Happy while trying to find a way to meet up with him.

With Zhang Wei, two-on-two… but Happy had Ye Xiu and Fang Rui. Although they didn't want to boost others' morale and deflate their own, they were still uneasily uneasy. It was better to confirm the situation as soon as possible.
