Chapter 117 Map Difference

The spring vents and fire pits scattered across the map were now all uglily exposed. This visual display had no impact on Team Wuji, as they were already skilled at using the flag markers to identify the positions and ranges of these pits. However, for Team Happy, this straightforward presentation was a great help. They no longer needed to spend too much effort thinking when they saw a flag; the pits were clearly visible, and all they had to do was avoid them.

The terrain's influence wasn't entirely eliminated, but the players didn't need to expend too much mental energy on it.

Wu Chen, with his professional experience, understood this difference perfectly. In an instant, he grasped the opponent's intention. On the field, Team Happy was indeed being surrounded and attacked, but they were also turning the passive into the active. While struggling to hold on, they were also taking the opportunity to change the situation. At this moment, the entire section of the map that had been completely overturned had become different from the original characteristics of the Quanyan Flag Sea.

"Everyone be careful!" Wu Chen quickly sent a message in the channel.

The teams' respective channels weren't visible to the opponents, but they were open to the audience. As soon as these words were spoken, many viewers were confused. Team Wuji was currently in a dominant position, even withdrawing a healer to bring in an attacker, boldly and unrestrainedly attacking. What was with this sudden concern?

Not to mention the audience, even Team Wuji's own players were suddenly taken aback by Wu Chen's words. For a moment, no one realized what he meant.

"What?" Someone actually asked.

It was somewhat embarrassing to show the audience that even their own players didn't understand. However, who had time to care about that during a match? They needed to quickly figure out what Wu Chen meant.

"The map is different," Wu Chen said.

The audience still didn't quite understand. But Team Wuji's players, while lacking professional experience, certainly had skill. When they heard Wu Chen's reminder and paid closer attention, they immediately noticed the problem.

Among the audience, people like Tao Xuan, Cui Li, and Chen Yehui from Team Excellent Era immediately reacted upon hearing these words. They had initially felt that Ye Qiu couldn't possibly be defeated so easily. Now, it seemed that this guy indeed had a countermeasure, exactly as they had expected. However...this expected outcome didn't make them happy at all, but rather annoyed them.

"Maintain your distance, who's closest to the support area? Switch a healer in," Wu Chen decisively issued the next instruction.

"I'm the closest..." He An replied dejectedly.

"You go," Wu Chen ordered without the slightest hesitation. The sense of crisis in his heart was growing stronger and stronger. At this time, it wasn't the moment to worry about whether the core class was on the field; the key was to quickly get the healer back on the field.

He An, of course, knew the key at this moment. He wasn't someone who would put his personal glory above the team's interests. Although somewhat depressed, he still rushed towards the support area.

A flag swept across the screen, and a figure appeared in front of Ren Butao. He An took a look—it was Steamed Bun Invasion. The only point Team Happy had lost was at the hands of this kid, a lost, inexplicable guy.

"Get lost!"

He An, already in a bad mood about being switched out, directly unleashed a Ground Fissure Wave Sword when Steamed Bun Invasion blocked his path.

Among all the Wave Swords, Ground Fissure Wave Sword was the fastest to cast. The sword intent swept past, and the ground and rocks flew up, heading straight for Steamed Bun Invasion.

However, since the two were quite far apart, the Ground Fissure Wave Sword's attack range could touch the opponent, but to think that it could hit the opponent like that was an underestimation of them.

Steamed Bun Invasion took a step to the side and dodged it, then raised his hand and threw a handful of sand.

He An slightly turned his perspective, preparing to take this Sand Toss head-on. If it wasn't for the blind effect, the skill's damage wasn't anything to be afraid of.

Head turned, hit by sand; head turned back...hit by a brick.

He An was utterly dumbfounded.

This Steamed Bun Invasion actually hid a brick in the Sand Toss, and he didn't even notice it. He An was now a little relieved, relieved that he had turned his perspective back quickly enough. If he had been a little slower, the brick would have hit Ren Butao's face, but instead hit the back of his head. According to skill judgment, it would have had a back attack effect, which was a 100% stun.

But the next second, He An realized he was happy for nothing.

Because Ren Butao was still stunned.

Brick Throw to the head naturally had a 50% chance of stunning. Now that it had been triggered, whether it was a back attack or not didn't matter at all.

Steamed Bun Invasion rushed forward while taking advantage of the stun. He An, however, watched the little hourglass representing the stun effect, his fingers anxiously stroking the keyboard and mouse.

Good!

The stun effect of Brick Throw normally lasted for three seconds. However, the Spirit attribute of the character's stats was closely related to these abnormal status effects. The Spirit growth of the Magic Swordsman at 3.5 was already higher than the Rogue's 2.5. Adding the difference in equipment, the Spirit difference between the characters was further widened. The stun effect of Steamed Bun's brick on Ren Butao was less than two seconds.

Just as Steamed Bun Invasion rushed in front of Ren Butao, the stun effect wore off. Ren Butao raised his sword and cast a Wave Cleaving Slash.

"Did you think you could stun me for three seconds?" This Wave Cleaving Slash was timed perfectly. Steamed Bun couldn't dodge in time. Grabbing skills couldn't be blocked, so he was hit. He An mockingly taunted.

"How many seconds should it be?" Steamed Bun Invasion replied.

He An was stunned.

What kind of reaction was that?

He was clearly mocking! Did this guy think he was casually chatting with him?

Unable to respond, He An resorted to action. The Wave Cleaving Slash attack ended, and Steamed Bun Invasion fell. Ren Butao had already unleashed a Fiery Wave Sword. The tongues of fire instantly engulfed Steamed Bun Invasion, and the Fiery Wave Sword also had a strong impact, with a significant knockback effect.

He An didn't forget his current task, which was to quickly reach the support area and switch a healer in.

"Not bad, you've got some skills," Steamed Bun Invasion, who had been sent flying by the Fiery Wave Sword, inexplicably praised He An. But these words sounded so jarring, with a teasing tone.

However, He An prioritized the overall situation and ignored it. Ren Butao rushed towards the designated direction. After only a few steps, he saw Steamed Bun Invasion shout in the channel: "Watch out for the brick!"

He An hastily commanded Ren Butao to roll to the side, and as he got up, he saw Steamed Bun Invasion laughing in the channel: "Hahaha, I tricked you!"

He An was furious! Unable to endure it any longer, he turned around and unleashed an Ice Wave Sword, only to see a hand reaching out in front of him, grabbing Ren Butao's throat. The Ice Wave Sword was interrupted.

Coming so fast?

He An was shocked. He had assumed that Steamed Bun Invasion was still a few body lengths away, but he hadn't expected the opponent to be directly behind him. Rogues didn't have any sudden burst of movement speed, so the only explanation was the Fiery Wave Sword earlier.

Steamed Bun Invasion hadn't been fully hit by the Fiery Wave Sword as He An had imagined. When he was falling from the Wave Cleaving Slash's grasp, he had dodged the Fiery Wave Sword's attack. Perhaps it was just a roll, but it was enough to resist the skill's effect.

He An was careless. In the end, he still hadn't paid much attention to Steamed Bun Invasion. This guy who had lost the match because he couldn't find his way was equated with a fool in He An's mind. But now, he was being lifted like a chicken by this fool.

Throat Lock was a continuous restriction skill. Although Steamed Bun Invasion couldn't control Ren Butao for too long due to Spirit attributes, this continuous style of play had made He An realize the opponent's intention: to prevent them from switching the healer into the game.

Steamed Bun Invasion was probably not the only one sent to entangle him. Perhaps the opponent's reinforcements would arrive soon.

"I'm being held up, switch someone to healer!" He An hurriedly shouted in the channel. However, as he sent this message, he secretly felt a hint of joy. He wasn't happy about being switched out, but now, he had a justifiable reason to stay. As for what obstacles the opponent would put in his way, he wasn't particularly worried. This would attract Team Happy's attention, allowing the others to switch the healer in!

"Support!" Wu Chen gave the instruction at that moment.

"Support what! I'll hold them back, you quickly switch the healer in!" He An shouted.

"You can't hold them back."

He An was instantly infuriated. Wu Chen's reply was too disrespectful to him. What did he mean he couldn't hold them back? Was he saying his skill wasn't good enough?

Throat Lock didn't seal the target's attacks. While being held by Steamed Bun Invasion's Throat Lock, He An had taken the opportunity to deal a lot of damage to Steamed Bun Invasion. Just as the skill was about to end, and he was preparing to show off his skills to Wu Chen, several skills suddenly bombarded him from behind, taking advantage of the Throat Lock effect. Steamed Bun Invasion also launched an attack, and Ren Butao was sent flying by the force of the attacks, failing to dispel the momentum even after two rolls on the ground. During those two rolls, the opponent's attacks didn't stop. He An watched Ren Butao's health drop rapidly, and his soul almost left his body. When he finally raised his perspective after the two rolls...

Damn, he really couldn't hold them back! Team Happy was taking too good care of him, actually sending all five characters to attack him. In a five-on-one situation, it would only take a moment to kill him. Even if someone managed to switch the healer in, it would already be a one-person loss, a huge disadvantage. The price for him holding them back was too high.

"Support!" He An called for support decisively.
