Chapter 174 How Critical Was It?

Everyone could see how critical the situation was. The players from Hooligan’s Manor also wanted to help, but their strength was simply insufficient. Those who were farther away couldn't make it in time, and those who were closer had all been swept aside by Tang Rou's Battle Mage earlier. Their feet were stumbling now, and this shaking would be realistically reflected in their view. Under such shaking conditions, very few ordinary players could still accurately operate. Interrupt? Impossible. Now it all depended on whether Zhao Yuzhe could escape himself.

Seeing the other side's Battle Mage rush over and then be caught back by a Cloud Grasp Fist, the Hooligan's Manor side was also inspired. Since the same team members were all immune, it was impossible to pull people back with this skill. That melee mage must have been temporarily kicked out of the team. Thinking like this, Matada West Wind told the guild's Qi Masters to hurry up and pull people, and also kicked Zhao Yuzhe's Misty Scenery out of the team.

Misty Scenery had already been completely pulled back by the Cloud Grasp Fist. Without any suspense, before he even landed, the Holy Fire had already touched him.

Forget about instant movement. When magic was sealed, any character was just a brawny man who could do some ordinary attacks. An Elementalist's speed was focused on "spellcasting speed" rather than "attack speed." If they really held a staff and did a few staff techniques, the speed couldn't be described as slow motion, but it would definitely be slow enough to make melee players very uncomfortable. Melee classes, even if they used heavy swords or battle spears, which were already a bit slower, still valued the "attack speed" attribute in their other equipment, so no one could be as slow as an Elementalist.

However, Zhao Yuzhe was a pro player! No matter how confident a pro player was in their skills, as an Elementalist, it was impossible not to have any preparations for being engaged in close combat. The moment he was caught by the Cloud Grasp Fist and touched by the Holy Fire, he had already decisively changed his weapon. He switched from a staff with an extremely slow attack speed to a magic wand with the fastest speed, which was a considerable improvement. Then, with a push of the mouse, Misty Scenery landed very domineeringly with a tremor.

Then Zhao Yuzhe heard the surprised voice of the Dao Comprehension Lord in front of him: "No way, Best Rookie, Falling Flower Palm is also a skill? Don't you understand the effect of Holy Fire?"

Sitting in front of the computer, Zhao Yuzhe was really, really blushing this time.

Yes, at that moment, his brain was muddled. He was only thinking about using some melee methods to escape, so he changed his weapon and then used the Falling Flower Palm operation, wanting to push the person in front of him away first. As a result, he completely forgot about the Holy Fire.

Holy Fire sealed all skills. This was different from the Magic Imprisonment skill that Elementalist knew. Magic Imprisonment sealed magic skills, but it wouldn't work on Battle Mages' martial techniques.

However, Zhao Yuzhe's mistake at this time was purely a brain fart, not a mix-up of the two skills. When the Falling Flower Palm was used, the skill couldn't be executed, of course. As a result, the character trembled like a fool, and what was even more depressing was that he was seen through by the person in front of him...

Amidst a burst of laughter, Misty Scenery fell to the ground.

Because of this major mistake, Zhao Yuzhe's shame completely distracted him. Tang Rou's Battle Mage next to him used a Circle Swing to directly throw Misty Scenery to the ground. All the players swarmed up, making a lively scene. Zhao Yuzhe also received the system notification that Matada West Wind had removed him from the team. He didn't misunderstand and guessed Matada West Wind's intention. But when he turned his view, he saw that Misty Scenery was surrounded by people. The Cloud Grasp Fist couldn't hit him through a mountain, so how could it catch him?

Zhao Yuzhe tried to struggle one last time, flicking the magic wand in his hand.

Ordinary attacks had the most randomness and could be completely controlled by the players themselves. Zhao Yuzhe's flick of Misty Scenery was basically like a Battle Mage's Bashing Blow.

Of course, ordinary attacks couldn't have the judgment and power of the Bashing Blow skill, but hitting someone's ankle would still have some effect. But unfortunately, his sweep only started and couldn't continue. Tang Rou's Battle Mage stuck the battle spear into the ground, forcibly blocking his sweep.

This Battle Mage was definitely not weak...

Zhao Yuzhe realized this too late now. All kinds of weapons were swung down by the players, and in the blink of an eye, he was eliminated. Zhao Yuzhe's rising soul view saw that the guys seemed to be snatching the equipment dropped by Misty Scenery. What about the Hooligan’s Manor side? The Qi Masters had just been mobilized to the front of the team, but they were at a loss and couldn't find a target to attack at all. Matada West Wind waved his arm, and the players of Hooligan’s Manor charged up, but for Zhao Yuzhe, it was over... everything was over. How could he have the face to stand up and charge again! He could only blame himself for being too confident and not taking everything in the game seriously enough.

Zhao Yuzhe logged off, and the character didn't go to resurrect.

This character didn't belong to him anyway. It was the guild's property, and he had to return it to Matada West Wind after using it. He originally wanted to take advantage of the holiday to show off in the game, but he didn't expect such an unfavorable start. He had been killed twice... Among so many players in Hooligan’s Manor, had anyone been killed twice in today's battle?

Zhao Yuzhe didn't want to show off in the game anymore. Being with these players would only make him feel embarrassed. He was now at a loss as to how to return the account card. What would the people at the guild's studio think of him? Zhao Yuzhe sat in front of the computer and spaced out.

The people from Hooligan’s Manor charged over like crazy. Ye Xiu quickly instructed in the team, "Scatter for a bit, see if they leave!"

The previous retreat and defense had given the players of Righteous Swords some space. At this time, another wave of Hooligan’s Manor charged up, and they could finally pretend to do something like the other three guilds and then scatter.

As soon as the players from Hooligan’s Manor rushed to the front, they immediately saw the body of Misty Scenery lying on the ground. For a time, many loyal fans were furious. But Matada West Wind swept through the friend list again, and found that Little Zhao had directly logged off, so it seemed that he was seriously injured!

Right now, the anger of the elite team players was beyond Matada West Wind's control. This was not about profit, but about dignity. The team's player was killed, and everyone wanted to vent this anger.

"Ah, what a big loss..." Matada West Wind sighed inwardly, but he could only watch helplessly as these subordinates angrily went to settle accounts with the players of Righteous Swords. And at this time, he also noticed that the players of Yueyun, Zhaohua, and Hewu guilds were starting to make moves.

Could it be?

They originally thought that Hewu's goal was to rush out, and of course they had a tacit understanding to let go and let it go. But at this time, Hooligan’s Manor really seemed unwilling to give up. As their ally, how could they just watch?

After a series of rapid instructions, the players from the three guilds also took action together...

More than half an hour passed.

Zhao Yuzhe was still in a daze. In the pro circle, he couldn't be said to be a force to be reckoned with, but he had never been so miserable. How could he have lost so much face in the game?

Just as he was lost in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhao Yuzhe came back to his senses and confirmed again that it was indeed his room door knocking.

With the holiday coming, if the players continued to stay in accommodations provided by the club, the club wouldn't mind. But the vast majority of players would choose to leave during the holidays, either to go home or to travel. Even if they still wanted to play Glory, they didn't necessarily have to stick to the club. On the Hooligan's team, except for Zhao Yuzhe, there were no other players left. At this time, who else would knock on his door?

Zhao Yuzhe opened the door and saw the guild leader, Matada West Wind, and immediately fell silent.

Matada West Wind also braced himself to come and knock on the door. Zhao Yuzhe had directly logged off and hadn't been online since. Matada West Wind could imagine how he was feeling right now. But for this very reason, he had to come. Although their guild department was completely not responsible for the pro players' state or growth, Matada West Wind was first and foremost a huge fan of the Hooligan’s team. He felt that since he had the conditions, he should not hesitate to comfort the best rookie who had suddenly suffered a blow, especially since he knew that there was no one else in the player's area except for Zhao Yuzhe.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Yuzhe's emotions were indeed very low. He was like a different person from the high-spiritedness he had shown when he ran over to ask for the account card that morning.

"Uh... I saw that you logged off and hadn't been online, so I came to see you," Matada West Wind said.

"How is it over there?" Zhao Yuzhe asked.

"Heavy casualties." Matada West Wind told the truth. Zhao Yuzhe was gone, and the four guilds attacked together. How could their Hooligan’s Manor withstand it? What's more, so many people were not calm at the time. In the end, Hooligan’s Manor suffered a complete defeat. Saying that there were heavy casualties was just Matada West Wind being modest.

Zhao Yuzhe didn't ask too much about this, but suddenly fell into a daze again, even forgetting to let Matada West Wind into the room.

"Cough..." Matada West Wind had to use a cough to interrupt the awkwardness: "It's nothing, this kind of thing happens every day in online games."

"What's more, they are a joint force of four guilds, and there's also a pro old monster like Ye Qiu meddling. Don't even mention our Hooligan’s Manor, even the three major guilds would only end up like this in that kind of situation." Matada West Wind said this, of course, to ease the embarrassment in Zhao Yuzhe's heart at this time. He could completely see that this best rookie probably thought he was invincible when he entered the game, but he was killed twice. The first time could be said to be isolated, but the second time was in the front of the crowd! Not to mention pro players, even people like Jiang You of Tyrannical Ambition and Zhan Loulan of Righteous Swords today were guild leaders, and it would be very embarrassing for them to be killed in one shot. Pro players were always more precious than guild leaders!

"You... don't need to comfort me..." Zhao Yuzhe wasn't stupid and could hear Matada West Wind's intention.

"Oh, oh..." Matada West Wind really didn't dare to say too much. Zhao Yuzhe had a high spirit, and he was afraid that if he said too much, the rookie would misunderstand that he was underestimating him, which would be counterproductive.

"In short... good luck!" Matada West Wind could only say something so bland in the end. He could mediate the conflicts between the players in the guild, but he was at a loss when it came to providing psychological counseling to pro players!

"Those who were with them, there was a Battle Mage and a Brawler, who were those people? I saw that they seemed to be like Ye Qiu's Dao Comprehension Lord, with no guild mark on their heads," Zhao Yuzhe asked.

"Oh, those two people are actually not using their own characters. The Brawler's character is called Steamed Bun Invasion; the Battle Mage usually uses a character called Soft Mist. These two people have been with Ye Qiu since the tenth server," Matada West Wind had also noticed these two people earlier and directly determined their professions.

"Steamed Bun Invasion... Soft Mist?" Zhao Yuzhe silently memorized it and then pointed back to the table: "Is it okay if I continue to use the Misty Scenery account?"

"No problem, of course no problem," Matada West Wind replied quickly.
