"There's even a Hou Yi? Pick Hou Yi, I'm going to dominate him!"
During the ban and pick phase, Little Golden Crow's face tightened upon seeing Hou Yi among the marksmen. Killing intent flared in her eyes.
Yu Zhibo's heart stirred: Could there be a legend of Yi shooting down nine suns in the Qingchu Realm as well?
He calmly selected Hou Yi.
"Who should I pick to counter Hou Yi?" Little Golden Crow mumbled, undecided between Donghuang Taiyi and Jing after the others quickly finished their selections.
The reason she wanted to play these two heroes was that, from the information Yu Zhibo had transmitted, both heroes had some connection to the Golden Crow. Donghuang Taiyi was obvious, and Jing was the sister of Xi He, the mother of the sun. Furthermore, one of Jing's skins even had Golden Crow special effects, which made Little Golden Crow feel more immersed. Da Feng Novel Network
"Pick Donghuang Taiyi, why are you hesitating? We're short a support!" the irritable clone, who was Little Golden Crow's teammate, blurted out as the ban and pick time was about to expire.
Little Golden Crow thought for a moment and chose the sunny boy, Lan Ling Wang.
Although Jing and Donghuang Taiyi offered more immersion, Lan Ling Wang was undoubtedly the true bane of squishy heroes, capable of instantly eliminating ADCs.
The irritable clone was immediately dumbfounded: "I've already picked Zhao Yun for jungle, and you're picking Lan Ling Wang? Do you even know how to play? Didn't I tell you we needed a support?!"
Boom!
Little Golden Crow glanced at the irritable clone, and a terrifying aura erupted.
How could the irritable clone tolerate this insult? He had just picked Zhao Yun!
He immediately prepared to engage in a physical fight with Little Golden Crow.
"Alright, Zhao Yun goes to the solo lane, and Cheng Yaojin goes to support!" Yu Zhibo said calmly, glancing at the irritable clone.
"I don't mind!" the steady clone stated flatly.
It was indeed the steady clone, knowing to prioritize the greater good.
The main body's command could not be disobeyed. The irritable clone, with a dejected expression, swapped his Smite for Execute, and the game began.
The team compositions were as follows:
Red team: Solo Lane Arthur (Mad Clone), Jungle Monkey King (Cool Clone), Mid Lane Daji (Cross-dressing Clone), Bottom Lane Hou Yi (Yu Zhibo), Support Dun Shan (Honest Clone).
Blue team: Solo Lane Zhao Yun (Irritable Clone), Jungle Lan Ling Wang (Little Golden Crow), Mid Lane Angela (Cautious Clone), Bottom Lane Luban (Cowardly Clone), Support Cheng Yaojin (Steady Clone).
The game commenced. Little Golden Crow started at the blue buff, farming from top to bottom, intending to focus on the bottom lane.
Both teams consisted of transcendent beings above the Lawful realm. Yu Zhibo and his clones were all masters, possessing top-tier awareness and execution.
Even though it was Little Golden Crow's first time playing, she played with considerable skill, having absorbed Yu Zhibo's memories and possessing high intelligence.
At 1 minute and 34 seconds, after clearing her own jungle and reaching level four, Little Golden Crow headed straight for the bottom lane.
"Why is Monkey King also in the bottom lane..." Little Golden Crow's face tightened upon seeing the jungle Monkey King at the river crab, and she immediately turned to leave.
Clearly, Monkey King was also prepared to act as Hou Yi's subordinate, as he was the main body...
Lan Ling Wang, as a hero, could only bully squishy targets unless he had a significant economic advantage. Against a powerful combat hero like Monkey King, as long as the opponent's execution wasn't too sloppy, he would surely be outmatched.
Seemingly anticipating that Little Golden Crow would focus on the bottom lane, Yu Zhibo had been strictly controlling the minion wave, keeping it pushed towards the red team's side.
Little Golden Crow activated her ultimate, Shadow Embrace, and hid in the bottom lane bush, quietly waiting for Yu Zhibo to make a mistake.
The steady clone also displayed excellent acting skills. He directly leaped towards Dun Shan with his first skill, landed an auto-attack, and then, fearing that his second skill would push the wave, he withdrew after some harassment, even charging into his own minion wave.
Yu Zhibo's lips curled upwards. He cast his second skill, Sunset Glow, towards Cheng Yaojin, also hitting a minion, which then caused the minion wave to push towards the blue team.
Little Golden Crow's face lit up with excitement, but she remained hidden.
As her ultimate's duration was about to end, Little Golden Crow finally revealed herself, controlling Lan Ling Wang to approach Hou Yi and directly throwing a Shadow Dagger at him.
Hou Yi's health immediately dropped by a small margin, and his movement speed was reduced by 90%, as if he were trapped in a swamp.
The clones controlling Luban and Cheng Yaojin, having suffered under the "capitalist" for too long, also unhesitatingly flashed forward. Cheng Yaojin's first skill was directly hurled at Yu Zhibo.
Luban, upon entering attack range, threw a Pufferfish Bomb at Yu Zhibo, even predicting his flash.
Without a word, Yu Zhibo flashed directly. However, instead of flashing backward as the three predicted, he flashed towards the bush near the river crab, instantly creating distance between them.
Dun Shan was no pushover either. He unleashed "Unstoppable Might" to knock back Lan Ling Wang, but it was dodged by a flash.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Little Golden Crow, her face flushed with excitement, charged directly at the slowed Hou Yi and, using her clone, successfully dodged Yu Zhibo's stunning ultimate, striking Hou Yi with a blade.
Coupled with Luban's ultimate, Aerial Support, Hou Yi was instantly brought to critical health.
Just as she was about to finish off Hou Yi, a golden figure suddenly appeared. Monkey King had been hiding in the bush all along.
Little Golden Crow and the other two turned pale.
Monkey King used his second skill, leaping to Little Golden Crow as a pivot and landing in the middle of the three, then planted his staff, instantly crowd-controlling all three.
Lan Ling Wang, after all, was just a squishy hero. With his skills depleted, he was instantly eliminated by the combined assault of Yu Zhibo and Monkey King.
Soon after, Luban let out a scream, and finally, Cheng Yaojin was also caught by Hou Yi, who, with the support of Dun Shan and Monkey King, finished him off.
"Insolence!" Little Golden Crow roared, her face red with anger!
