Chapter 168 No Retreat

No one expected the situation to turn out like this. Everyone thought that Lord Grim was having a hard time protecting himself during the attacks, and wondered whether Lord Grim would live or die. But what about now? It seemed that Zhang Jiale needed to worry about life and death, it seemed that his Dazzling Hundred Flowers was in danger.

Attacks, and a pincer attack. It was already quite a headache to keep an eye on both ends, and even though professional players were well-trained in this area, it didn't mean they could easily handle a professional-level pincer attack with ease.

Kill Lord Grim?

Zhang Jiale felt more and more that he didn't need to worry about this problem; he should worry about himself first. If he tried to forcefully kill Lord Grim under these circumstances, the health of Dazzling Hundred Flowers would drop alarmingly, but his attacks could not effectively harm Lord Grim. If this continued, he would probably be the one to fall in a matter of minutes.

Retreat first?

This seemed to be a more stable option. With Little Cold Hands being controlled, there was no need to rush to kill Lord Grim, and it would only take a blink of an eye for Han Wenqing's Desert Dust to come to the rescue.

On the surface, it seemed like that, but Zhang Jiale knew that this so-called stability was too much wishful thinking. Once he retreated and stopped applying pressure, there was no need for Happy to use offensive pressure against him. Then they would definitely switch their fire to Lin Jingyan's Dark Forest and rescue Little Cold Hands.

Once Little Cold Hands was properly protected by Happy, their advantage would truly be solidified.

No matter how many twists and turns a team match produced, attacking the healer was always the most fatal. Zhang Jiale's attacks on Lord Grim had become a means of hindering Happy from focusing on protecting their healer. From this perspective, it could be seen how important Ye Xiu was to Happy.

Any other team would probably give up protecting the attacker and prioritize protecting the healer at this time. Even if it was a four-on-five situation, with the support of a healer, the chances of winning were still not low. This was not just imagination, but based on clear statistics. In the ten years of Glory's professional league, there had been 101 team situations where a four-player team with a healer fought against a five-player team without a healer, and the four-player healer team had won 74 of those matches.

In the fourth season when Zhang Xinjie assisted Han Wenqing in breaking the Excellent Era dynasty, and in the fifth and seventh seasons when Fang Shiqian, known as the "God of Healing," guarded Tiny Herb and helped Wang Jiexi lead the team to win two championships, there was even a saying that "whoever gets the healer gets the world."

The impact of a healer on a team was so crucial, and there were many ways to target healers in team battles. This season, Happy's healer was not well-regarded, but Happy had used this point in many battles to dig pits and set up situations. This was also a classic example of the reverse utilization of the value of a healer.

Healers wouldn't be let go, even if Happy put Little Cold Hands in danger to protect Lord Grim. However, as long as the pressure on their end was slightly reduced, they would immediately switch their firepower, they definitely would.

Therefore, he couldn't retreat, he definitely couldn't retreat.

One against three, he had to grit his teeth and keep fighting, attacking Lord Grim!

Zhang Jiale didn't retreat, Dazzling Hundred Flowers didn't retreat.

Everyone in the局 (jú) could feel this toughness, and everyone fully understood the meaning of this toughness. Happy wanted to force Zhang Jiale to retreat with a strong attack, and then save Little Cold Hands to achieve two goals with one arrow, but they didn't expect Zhang Jiale not to retreat, he wouldn't retreat even if it meant death.

If he didn't retreat, Happy would have no way to switch targets. The opening exposed by switching targets was enough for Zhang Jiale to kill any target with only seven percent health.

What else could he do?

Happy had already put on an unbelievable performance in killing Stone Not Turning. What about now? How could they resolve this stalemate now? Desert Dust's footsteps were getting closer and closer, and further away, Qin Muyun's Zero Degrees Celsius, which was automatically replacing him, was also getting closer and closer.

Could he blow up Dazzling Hundred Flowers in this instant?

Difficult!

Although it was a three-on-one situation, Ye Xiu's Lord Grim didn't dare to get too close. After all, his life hung by a thread, and he needed a relatively safe space to deal with the attacks. Then, relying only on the summons and Su Mucheng's heavy artillery, the output was considerable, but it was not enough to end the battle in this instant. Zhang Jiale was not a dead stump after all.

Probably, Ye Xiu would have to risk an attack, needing Lord Grim with seven percent health to move forward and fight Dazzling Hundred Flowers at close range.

The screen's camera was already aimed at Lord Grim. But at this moment, under the feet of Little Cold Hands and Dark Forest, light suddenly appeared, a summoning circle formed, dyeing the ground a deep color, and a Demon World Flower quietly broke through the soil and emerged!

*Shua!*

The vines immediately wrapped around Dark Forest's ankles. He had to dodge, or his movement would be restricted. The Demon World Flower was a skill that every summoner was reluctant to give up because of its super control ability, and it was also a target that any opponent would try to kill first when facing a summoner.

Luo Ji was too insignificant, so no one thought that he would be the one to resolve this stalemate at this time.

With the interference of the Demon World Flower, Dark Forest's attack on Little Cold Hands was immediately hindered. An Wenyi took the opportunity to let Little Cold Hands pull away. But Lin Jingyan was experienced after all, and still maintained pressure on Little Cold Hands within the range of the Demon World Flower's harassment, but the efficiency was ultimately not as good as before. Under this rhythm, he could still allow An Wenyi to get out a heal.

Luo Ji seemed to have tasted the sweetness. The magic staff in Meiguang's hand shook again, and another summoned beast was condensing next to the Demon World Flower. The advantage of the summoner being able to fight on multiple fronts with summoned beasts was clearly displayed in Luo Ji's hands in a one-divided-into-two formation.

The summoning array was quickly completed, obviously this was not a very high-level summoned beast.

Goblin.

The lowest-level summoned beast of the summoner, but as a passing skill, no summoner could not summon it. And this weakest summoned beast rarely became a threat on the field, and was mostly used as a sacrifice.

But at this time, for Lin Jingyan, who was eager to control Little Cold Hands, this goblin was unprecedentedly annoying and ugly.

Even if it was weak, the goblin would always attack the target. As an attack, it would always have some effect and influence. And for Dark Forest to resolve this effect and influence, no matter how small, it would always require one attack. This attack was an opening for An Wenyi.

The goblin shook and threw the stone, as if throwing a difficult problem to Lin Jingyan.

At the same time, Lin Jingyan saw the third summoning array...

Luo Ji's Meiguang was using the Four Beast Flow, and the number of summoned beasts that he could control relatively well was only four or five. But this didn't mean that his Meiguang only had these four beasts and the Demon World Flower that he wouldn't give up on.

*Hua...* A heavy sound, the death knight walked out of the summoning array. As the core summoned beast of another summoning school, running as a sidekick in the Four Saint Flow was a rather rare choice, after all, the skill points required for the death knight were not low.

But... skill points, this was exactly where Happy was the richest...
