Ye Xiu's words caused the faces of the Hundred Blossoms players to subtly change, but the characters in the game didn't reflect this. The four characters were in a very standard offensive formation. Zhang Wei's Magician Senluo and Zhou Guangyi's Assassin Ji Leng formed a double arrowhead, Zou Yuan's Splendid Blossom was slightly behind in the center, and Mo Chuchen's Priest seemed to be on the right side of Splendid Blossom.

It looked like they were just standing randomly, but in fact, the distance between them, the angles they controlled, and the way they targeted their opponents, their positions were all tactical. The implications and variations were impossible to explain in just a few words.

However, after seeing Ye Xiu's words, all four characters couldn't help but make some adjustments.

Their previous positioning was a practiced routine, and they instinctively formed their positions based on the locations of Lord Grim and Boundless Sea. But now, they suddenly realized that the end of Broken River, the edge of the map, was a point where instant kills needed to be considered.

Various tactics had been used in the past to exploit the characteristics of the end of Broken River. However, this overused map hadn't been chosen by the professional circle for a long, long time. What team would still practice tactics specifically for this area? Perhaps everyone still had some memories, but the teammates back then were definitely not the same as today. With different classes, the methods of cooperation were naturally different. If they awakened the consciousness and habits in their memories to fight, it might clash with the current team structure.

Thinking of this, the Hundred Blossoms players suddenly realized the terrible aspect of Xingxin's map selection.

With a familiar map, coordination would come naturally.

With an unfamiliar map, they would observe more, be more cautious, and try not to make mistakes.

But Broken River, this map that was once familiar but had now fallen into disuse, held some vague memories in everyone's minds. Were these memories accurate? When the outcome of the match was placed on these memories, the Hundred Blossoms players were filled with uncertainty. They became suspicious, afraid that their somewhat blurred, unconfident memories would lead to fatal mistakes.

The Hundred Blossoms players hesitated. At the same time, they were very clear in their minds that this was precisely Xingxin's intention in choosing this map.

At this time, it depended on whether they were resolute enough. And from the actual situation on the field, they were clearly not resolute enough. After Ye Xiu said those words, the Hundred Blossoms characters were constantly adjusting their positions, obviously unable to pinpoint their memories.

"Back then, we had Sun Zheping and Zhang Jiale on the team!" The veteran Zhang Wei recalled the scenes of fighting near Broken River in the heyday of Hundred Blossoms.

"Back then...the days of fighting behind the captain were so satisfying..." Zhou Guangyi thought of the time when he followed Han Wenqing's Desert Dust and fought alongside him when he was still in Tyranny.

Back then...Zou Yuan didn't have a "back then." As a player who entered the league in the seventh season, that map was already rarely used back then. He really didn't have any systematic professional experience with the Broken River map.

What about Mo Chuchen? Mo Chuchen was also a little nervous at this time, because of what Ye Xiu had just said. In this place, knocking the opponent into the waterfall would be an instant kill. What use was healing? How could he, as the healer, help the team here?

The Hundred Blossoms players each had their own thoughts, and for a moment, their positions became even more scattered.

How could Ye Xiu and Fang Rui miss such an opportunity?

Earth-shattering Cannon!

Fang Rui's Boundless Sea soared into the air, and a powerful stream of energy came from his palms, falling straight into the Hundred Blossoms formation.

The Hundred Blossoms players were suddenly pulled into the battle, and their dodging of this attack seemed extremely stiff. Anyone could see that they were prioritizing staying as far away from the waterfall as possible.

They just dodged. For a moment, none of them had the consciousness to counterattack. After Boundless Sea's Earth-shattering Cannon, Fang Rui wasn't disturbed at all. In mid-air, he rubbed his hands together, and a Qi blade flew out.

This Qi blade was completely condensed from the Qi Gong Master's aura. It had no shape and no light or shadow effects. The only trace of it was the fluctuation of the air currents left behind as it flowed through the air. It was an extremely concealed projectile skill. Even if this attack was noticed, it would be difficult to accurately grasp the distance because its specific form couldn't be captured. The timing for dodging or defending couldn't be accurately judged, and one could only dodge as soon as they noticed it, prioritizing safety.

Zou Yuan saw Boundless Sea rub his hands together, and a ripple immediately rippled in the air. Knowing it was a Qi blade, he immediately had Splendid Blossom roll to the side. But he didn't expect the trajectory of this ripple to be not a straight line, but a wretched arc. After deviating from the trajectory that Zou Yuan expected, it ultimately struck Desert Flower, the Hundred Blossoms team's Priest.

Ye Xiu had just said that healing was useless in this battle, but when Fang Rui launched an attack, the final target was, of all people, the Hundred Blossoms healer.

Mo Chuchen wasn't prepared at all, and Desert Flower was hit by this Qi blade. There were no eye-catching effects like blood or fire, but the damage of this attack was no less than those attacks with flashy effects, and it had quite the impact. Desert Flower staggered from the blow.

Boundless Sea descended from the sky and reached out to grab Desert Flower.

As a result, a flash of light swept over, and Zhou Guangyi's Assassin Ji Leng timely attacked from the side, intercepting Boundless Sea.

"Lord Grim!!"

The veteran Zhang Wei was experienced in many battles. While Fang Rui's Boundless Sea was attacking fiercely, he didn't neglect his defense against Ye Xiu's Lord Grim. Just when everyone was paying attention to Boundless Sea, Zhang Wei clearly saw Lord Grim raise his hands and make a stance. Wasn't that the Qi Gong Master's skill, Cloud Grasping Hand?

He hurriedly reminded everyone in the channel. Zou Yuan reacted the fastest. Not bothering to see the situation clearly, Splendid Blossom turned around and shot at Lord Grim.

Ye Xiu had no choice but to dodge, and the sneak attack failed.

"Go over there!!" Mo Chuchen, who had been rescued by Zhou Guangyi, directed his Desert Flower into the nearby stone forest. His idea was quite simple. Since the end of Broken River made everyone feel a little confused, it was better to stay away from there.

"Go over there." Zou Yuan approved of Mo Chuchen's idea and instructed the whole team to move away from there to fight. In fact, Zou Yuan was the least affected by this special terrain, but he could see the hesitation of his other teammates in that area.

Hundred Blossoms, four against two, didn't engage in a head-on confrontation. Instead, they first thought about a tactical shift. Desert Flower ran the fastest, and the other three were also fighting and moving in that direction. Just as the waterfall was getting farther and farther away and they were starting to feel relieved, there was a sudden muffled sound in front of them. Desert Flower, who had happily run into the stone forest, flew straight back out.

Soft Mist, directly charged out with a Dragon Breaks the Ranks from inside. Desert Flower had already been sent flying by this attack, but it didn't stop Dragon Breaks the Ranks from coming.

Zou Yuan and the other two frantically dodged left and right. Ye Xiu and Fang Rui immediately perked up.

"Grab one over!!" Ye Xiu shouted.

"Okay, which one?" Fang Rui replied.

The four Hundred Blossoms players were shocked, all thinking that Cloud Grasping Hand was coming again. They rolled on the ground and refused to get up, dodging in various ways. But after scanning the situation, they knew they had been tricked. Lord Grim and Boundless Sea were both moving quickly. Cloud Grasping Hand wasn't a skill that could be released while moving.

The target was still Desert Flower, the Hundred Blossoms team's healer. Lord Grim, Boundless Sea, and Soft Mist had quickly occupied three points, surrounding Desert Flower in a triangle.

It was unrealistic to expect a Priest to break through on their own. The other three Hundred Blossoms players hurriedly came to the rescue. Zou Yuan's Splendid Blossom directly threw a flash grenade. The three Xingxin players all charged into the middle. Lord Grim's Myriad Manifestations Umbrella opened up at this moment, and the flash grenade slammed onto the surface of the umbrella with a bang. It exploded, but the three people whose vision was blocked by the umbrella were not affected in the slightest. They stomped on Desert Flower for a good beating.

Zou Yuan wanted to cry but had no tears. If he had known this, he would have thrown a repulsion grenade just now...

There was no "if," but it wasn't too late now. Zou Yuan flung a repulsion grenade over.

"No!!" Zhang Wei messaged in the channel, but it was too late.

The repulsion grenade rolled to the side of the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella and exploded. The powerful shockwave sent the three Xingxin characters flying, but...what about Desert Flower? With the team skill immunity, he should still be there!

"Thanks!" A message of thanks from Ye Xiu flashed in the channel. Zou Yuan looked again and found Desert Flower, in the hands of Lord Grim who had been blown away.

Zou Yuan's view was blocked by the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella, and he couldn't see the situation behind the umbrella. But Zhang Wei, from another angle, could see clearly. When the repulsion grenade came over, Lord Grim had just grabbed Desert Flower.

Throwing Grab!

The judgment of a grappling skill was the strongest. Even the shockwave of the repulsion grenade couldn't interrupt Lord Grim's grabbing state. He tore at Desert Flower and flew out together.

And this repulsion grenade's shockwave only sent people flying, without any other attack effects. Lord Grim, who was floating in the air, moved freely. So he continued to use Throw, and Desert Flower flew out like a cannonball. Did he even need to ask about the direction? Naturally, it was towards the waterfall...

"Ah!" Zou Yuan shouted, but no one could hear him. None of the three Hundred Blossoms players could block it in time.

"Don't panic! After falling into the water, quickly see the direction and swim back!" At the critical moment, the old general was still calm. Zhang Wei quickly judged that even if Lord Grim's Throw borrowed the height of the float, it wouldn't be possible to send Desert Flower directly outside the waterfall. Desert Flower would fall into the water, but as long as he quickly found the direction to swim, he wouldn't be washed down the waterfall, but he had to be quick. Because there was only a moment to act.

Calm down!

Mo Chuchen was also reminding himself nervously. He had already seen the surface of the river, the world outside the gap in the map that was designed with a nice-looking scene.

I don't want to go there!

Mo Chuchen thought, full of confidence in himself, and was ready to fall into the water.

Boom!

What is this? Why isn't it the sound of falling into the water? Where am I?
