Chapter 180 Facing Difficulty Head-On

Zhou Zekai didn't retreat. Zhou Zekai was still moving forward, but this time, it was truly facing difficulty head-on. Professional players, who had already analyzed the pros and cons, were aware that fighting in this chaos was disadvantageous for Zhou Zekai.

However, many spectators at the scene didn't realize this problem. In the minds of these loyal fans, their captain was invincible, without any flaws, and couldn't be judged by common sense.

This point was, in fact, recognized by professional players as well. Top experts like Zhou Zekai indeed couldn't be judged by common sense. Driving bullets as if they were swords, that speed and precision, was that common sense?

Everyone was used to not using common sense to guess his actions, but he himself didn't forget common sense. He really didn't leave his opponents any openings or opportunities. But now, Fang Rui was using the location of this map to set up a disadvantage based on common sense for him.

Zhou Zekai hesitated and pondered for a moment, finally choosing not to evade or delay, and One Autumn Leaf charged forward resolutely.

Was this guy trying to break common sense in this way? Professional players were thinking, and thunderous applause had already erupted at the scene.

Charging up, but not firing.

The dark gun muzzle pointed at Cloud Piercer, getting closer and closer, but no flames were sprayed out.

Fang Rui had been fully prepared to fight Zhou Zekai in this kind of situation. Seeing Zhou Zekai not retreat but instead have One Autumn Leaf charge up, he was very welcoming. Cloud Piercer immediately rolled over, dodging two attacks while actively approaching One Autumn Leaf.

However, the moment he rolled over, he saw a cannonball spitting flames from behind him. This attack from the Gunner NPC, after being dodged by him, was immediately transferred to Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf.

One Autumn Leaf lightly sidestepped to avoid it. Cloud Piercer, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly bounced up at this moment, pushing out with both palms.

Homing Cannon!

Fang Rui, this guy, actually allowed Cloud Piercer's attack to form a connection with the Gunner NPC's attack. The Homing Cannon directly covered the dodging figure of One Autumn Leaf. He didn't care if he hit the NPCs or not. Anyway, the NPCs had already established hatred towards him, and he didn't mind destroying both the NPCs and One Autumn Leaf together.

The range of the Homing Cannon wasn't small. One Autumn Leaf, who had just dodged the cannonball, seemed to be completely enveloped, and the surrounding swarming NPCs narrowed his choices even further. Cloud Piercer's attack was by no means casually made by Fang Rui. This guy considered too much. From the very natural action of rolling to dodge two attacks, to luring out the gunfire of the Gunner behind him, to the Homing Cannon being fired, to One Autumn Leaf being exactly in such a squeezed space...

There was too much. It might be common for ordinary players, but for professional experts, these many details at this moment made them feel dazzled.

Could this attack still be avoided?

Many people felt it was impossible, but Zhou Zekai was an existence who broke conventional cognition. One Autumn Leaf suddenly jumped up at this time, and at the same time, there were two gunshots.

Just a normal jump wouldn't be fast enough, but with the recoil of these two shots, One Autumn Leaf's jump became swift. At the same time, he bent his body and lifted his leg upward, and the Homing Cannon brushed past him.

He fired!

One Autumn Leaf was indeed firing among the NPCs, but these two shots didn't attract the attention of any NPCs. The few who were crowded around him were still pointing their attacks at Cloud Piercer, and didn't turn their heads to look at One Autumn Leaf.

He fired two shots in the NPC pile, but these two shots didn't hit any NPCs. Zhou Zekai didn't compromise with the environment so quickly. He was still looking for opportunities in the chaos.

Bang, bang!

As a result, One Autumn Leaf, who was twisting in the air, had two more clusters of flames erupting from the muzzle of his gun.

The bullets flew out of the chamber, and the target, of course, wouldn't be anything other than Cloud Piercer.

The two characters were quite close, and these two shots were fired so suddenly. Seeing how Zhou Zekai was carefully avoiding the NPCs when controlling One Autumn Leaf's jump, everyone thought he wouldn't easily launch attacks in this chaos without certainty. Who would have thought that in such a mid-air, shaking situation, he would actually make One Autumn Leaf fire two more shots.

*Pu!* With a sound, a cluster of blood flowers.

These two shots were too close and too sudden, and Fang Rui couldn't completely deal with them. Cloud Piercer hastily flashed aside, dodging one shot but being hit by another.

Just a normal shot, the damage wasn't terrible. Fang Rui, like everyone else, was more concerned about where that bullet went, whether that one hit the NPC.

*Pu!* There was also a sound, but there were no blood flowers, only mud flowers. Another bullet actually drilled through the pile of NPCs like this, and finally hit the ground, drilling into the mud, without hitting any NPCs.

Zhou Zekai wouldn't let One Autumn Leaf shoot rashly without being sure. He had One Autumn Leaf fire these two shots because he was confident.

One Autumn Leaf landed gracefully, and there were NPCs rushing up to attack Cloud Piercer beside him. He slightly slanted his body, without any intention of blocking their path. But the right hand Ardent Fire was steadily pointing forward - towards the position of Cloud Piercer.

There were too many NPCs acting. Cloud Piercer's figure was sometimes visible and sometimes hidden in his vision. He didn't fire, but he didn't change his posture either. But the previous two shots had already let everyone know that he wasn't unable to fire. He needed an opportunity to fire. Even in this chaos, he could still complete the shot that didn't hit the NPCs but only attacked Cloud Piercer. His control was that strong.

"Too strong."

This kind of strength wasn't just for ordinary players, even professional players could only sigh in admiration.

"Strong operation, but even stronger is the ability to control the situation." At the Tiny Herb team's location, Captain Wang Jiexi was commenting on the current scene to the Tiny Herb players.

"This kind of chaotic situation is unfavorable for Gunners, there's no doubt about that." Wang Jiexi continued, "But Zhou Zekai's two shots conveyed a signal to his opponent: even in this chaotic situation, I have a way to complete the attack. This is different from what ordinary people would expect. So now, even if Zhou Zekai doesn't attack, it's a form of destruction to Fang Rui's concentration. He has to be constantly on guard against when Zhou Zekai will have another opportunity to attack while dealing with the entanglement of the NPCs."

"What should we do then?" a newcomer in the team asked.

"Be proactive, take the initiative," Wang Jiexi said.

Fang Rui obviously understood this principle as well. At this time, he would never be so passive, allowing Zhou Zekai to quietly and steadily wait for an opportunity to act.

Change direction, move, roll!

Cloud Piercer was maneuvering through the NPC pile, dodging attacks while guiding himself towards the direction of One Autumn Leaf.

Zhou Zekai watched his movements, One Autumn Leaf didn't move forward or backward, but the muzzle of his gun was constantly shifting with his movements.

Pressure!

Faced with the muzzle of Zhou Zekai's One Autumn Leaf pointing at him, no one would feel no pressure. This was also why he didn't want to attack the NPCs, otherwise it would have been a storm of bullets nailing Cloud Piercer there. From this perspective, these NPCs had really become Fang Rui's shield at this time.

Cloud Piercer continued to maneuver, in various ugly and wretched poses created by Fang Rui. The main perspective given by the broadcast was constantly spinning, and ordinary players couldn't distinguish anything from the screen at all. They couldn't even find the direction. But without looking at the main perspective, just watching the battle from the sidelines, every step of Cloud Piercer's actions was so clear.

His movements, his positioning didn't seem complicated, but the rotation of his perspective made people want to vomit.

He wasn't just dodging the attacks of the NPCs. He was observing. He wanted to see clearly the position, movement, and attack of every NPC, because these would be what he would use to win. Just relying on this kind of chaos to obstruct the Gunner's vision and shooting trajectory wasn't enough to restrict Zhou Zekai. To use these to achieve victory, he needed to do something on a higher level, something more complicated. He knew this long ago.

This was difficult, especially for himself in his current state.

Fang Rui knew his own state. He didn't want to play in the individual competition. He wanted to save his energy and strength to play in the more crucial team competition. But the situation of the individual competition was too bad. He couldn't wait for the team competition anymore.

But dealing with this guy might be more difficult than fighting a team competition!

The dizzying rotating perspective finally stabilized for a moment, firmly locking onto One Autumn Leaf.
