Chapter 122 What Happened

"What's going on?" The Excellent Era team players were collectively shocked. Wasn't he supposed to go up and block them? How did he get himself blown away in the blink of an eye? Only Xiao Shiqin, despite having a poor angle, was intimately familiar with the Mechanic class. He immediately judged that Shen Jian had been blown away by the opponent's Air Compression Machine.

"It's Ye Qiu!" Shen Jian's character hadn't even landed yet before sending out the message.

"Ye Qiu!" Everyone was surprised. What a coincidence, running into him like this.

"Stay calm!" Upon hearing that it was Ye Qiu, Xiao Shiqin became even more composed. Excellent Era easily lost its composure when facing Ye Qiu, which was a big problem for the team at this stage, no, it should be said, for the entire club. Just like Shen Jian, getting blown away in one exchange, what kind of professional level was that? Obviously, he had momentarily lost focus the instant he realized it was Ye Qiu. So, Xiao Shiqin was constantly reminding himself to stay calm when facing Ye Qiu.

In this situation, a normal commander would instinctively shout "Block them!" but Xiao Shiqin was afraid that the Excellent Era players wouldn't be calm, so he changed it to "Stay calm!"

"Ye Qiu! Quick, block him!"

As a result, he didn't shout "Block him," but Sun Xiang shouted it for him. Rushing over from the resurrection point, Sun Xiang hadn't even arrived yet, but upon hearing that Ye Qiu was there, he wished he had eight instant movements to teleport him there immediately.

"Don't rush, take your time," Xiao Shiqin hurriedly said.

"Don't let him escape!" Sun Xiang continued to shout.

On Excellent Era's side, besides the Launcher Shen Jian who had been blown away, there was Zhang Jiaxing's Cleric and Wang Ze's Sharpshooter. Adding Xiao Shiqin's Mechanic, the four of them were already in an encirclement formation, only Shen Jian's Launcher was closer to the opponent. Now that Shen Jian's Launcher was blown away, the formation seemed to have expanded all of a sudden. Xiao Shiqin and the other three accelerated their contraction, and Shen Jian's Launcher bounced up after landing.

The Air Compression Machine's blow-away effect was particularly powerful, but the damage wasn't terrible. Shen Jian perked up and prepared to block again, but then realized he didn't need to worry too much. Ye Xiu's Mechanic and that Brawler were charging straight at him.

"This is..." Shen Jian was still thinking of blocking, but looking at their stance, did they need him to block? They were charging up to get rid of him!

Taking a glance at the other three's positions, a short one-on-two fight was unavoidable. Originally, Shen Jian was quite confident in holding back two opponents until his teammates arrived to support him, but now that he knew one of those two was Ye Qiu, his heart was immediately in his throat.

Could he withstand it?

Shen Jian had already given himself a question mark.

Xiao Shiqin immediately understood their intentions upon seeing their stance. They weren't just single-mindedly thinking about escaping, but also wouldn't mind taking out Shen Jian's Launcher along the way.

Shen Jian also had socks on him. Because their strength was at a crushing level in this situation, they didn't bother to worry about whether the socks were centrally managed or scattered among them, like ordinary players' teams. They just picked them up casually, who took them didn't matter, as long as the total number went up.

So at this moment, Xiao Shiqin was sure that Shen Jian had socks on him, but he didn't have much of an impression of how many. Now that the opponent wasn't in a hurry to escape and was instead targeting Shen Jian, their goal was obviously to steal those socks.

"Too reckless!" Xiao Shiqin thought to himself. No matter what, Shen Jian was still a professional player, a main member of the powerhouse Excellent Era. Even if he lost, he wouldn't lose too quickly. Wouldn't it be easy to hold on until the three of them arrived to support him? Surely, he wouldn't be killed in a matter of seconds like an ordinary player, right?

Xiao Shiqin still couldn't quite understand Shen Jian's mood at the moment. He was facing the challenge with the belief that he would be reborn from the ashes, and he was a little dazed as soon as he went up.

Sliding shovel?!

The skill Ye Xiu's Mechanic, Lord Grim, started with confused Shen Jian a little. Sliding shovel was a skill that Gunners could learn before changing classes, so all four classes could learn it. But for Mechanics, it was mostly used for positioning or creating distance. Starting with this move, was he trying to close the distance? He had never heard of this kind of playstyle! He was an extremely strong close-quarters Launcher, even if the Mechanic had close combat abilities, it was unwise to compete with the Launcher in this area, right?

But Ye Xiu's experience in fighting Launchers was unmatched in the Glory circle, wouldn't he have realized such a simple point?

So, what kind of conspiracy was this?

Or was this some kind of new playstyle?

Or was this a sign of contempt towards him?

Shen Jian had too many thoughts. By the time he finished thinking, Ye Xiu's Mechanic, Lord Grim, had already slid to the feet of his Launcher. His hand reached into the mechanical box and took out a Mechanical Tracker, and like a brick, it was directly slapped onto the top of the Launcher's foot. The tracking process was completely skipped, and Ye Xiu directly smashed it onto the person and exploded it.

Boom!

The blast wave caused the Launcher to stagger. The power of the Mechanical Tracker wasn't too great, whether it could knock the target over depended on the situation. In this case, where he was standing firmly on the ground and directly colliding with it, it wasn't enough to knock him over.

But how could Ye Xiu's attack be so short? Mechanic Lord Grim raised his hand and followed with a Mechanical Fist, then two shots with a bang bang, the combo began.

Shen Jian's brain was still spinning!

What was this? It seemed like the Mechanic was using a Gun-Fu fighting style? But the Mechanic's close combat style wasn't entirely physical, the rhythm wasn't as smooth as the Sharpshooter's. Could a Mechanic have a good performance fighting like this? This connection wasn't very tight, was it?

Shen Jian was still a professional player after all, and had some instinctive judgments and operations. Seeing that Ye Xiu's combo was not well connected, he subconsciously operated, and the Launcher kicked out a beautiful Whirlwind Kick, which directly broke the Mechanic's combo as expected.

Shen Jian then activated Iron Bones. This skill could greatly increase defense within 20 seconds, but more often than not, Launchers preferred to use it as a burst skill. Because in addition to increasing defense, this skill would also give the character a 20-second super armor state.

In the super armor state, the character wouldn't be knocked down, launched, knocked back, interrupted, countered, etc. The style of forcibly performing combos under these conditions had a lewd name: Bawang Ying Shang Gong (Forcibly violate someone)!

However, in reality, the super armor state wasn't an invincible state. There wouldn't be situations like knockdowns or launches, but the damage the character should take wouldn't be reduced at all. So, Forcibly violate someone was actually a desperate fighting style. Sometimes after forcibly violating someone, you might end up losing more health than your opponent. But the Launcher's Iron Bones happened to greatly increase defense during this super armor time limit, which immediately made this profession's Forcibly violate someone a bit more powerful, and was a method that every Launcher player especially liked to use to show off their dominance.

At this time, Shen Jian certainly didn't have the mood to show off, and immediately judged that close combat with the Mechanic, Forcibly violate someone was the most appropriate.

As a result, the moment he swung out his first punch after activating Iron Bones, Shen Jian suddenly saw his character's health jump, and the super armor state suddenly disappeared, replaced by a continuous bleeding state.

Poison Needle!

Shen Jian reacted.

One of the two opponents was a Brawler! This despicable and wretched profession had a skill called Poison Needle that was specifically designed to break super armor states.

He had just activated Iron Bones, and the opponent's Poison Needle came up, who would believe it wasn't prepared in advance?

With the super armor state gone, even if the defense of Iron Bones was still there, the character no longer had the capital to forcibly violate someone. The punch he swung out was blown away by the Mechanic's Mechanical Drop. The Mechanic and Brawler characters began to launch a full-scale attack. Shen Jian tried his best to support himself, and spotted an opportunity, and used a Cloud Dodge to try to avoid it, but then he heard Ye Qiu's voice: "Steamed Bun, one step to the left."

One step to the left?

Such detailed commands were rarely heard in professional teams. If the battle was really arranged in such detail by the commander, then wouldn't everyone else become puppets except for the commander?

Shen Jian was still surprised! As a result, when his Launcher Cloud Dodged, he realized the effect of that step.

After Steamed Bun's Brawler moved one step to the left, he actually just happened to collide with the Launcher who had Cloud Dodged away...

Throat Lock!

With better preparation, Steamed Bun operated first. The Brawler, Steamed Bun Invasion, looked up and grabbed the opponent's throat. The Launcher's Cloud Dodge was blocked, and he had to interrupt it. Shen Jian was half a beat slower, but his operation was still timely. The Launcher jumped back to avoid the Throat Lock, and was about to raise his fist to counterattack, when he heard Ye Qiu's voice again: "Tyrannical Emperor Fist, don't go forward!"

Shen Jian's heart instantly turned cold, and his hands froze on the keyboard and mouse, unsure of how to move, because at that moment, the skill he was operating was Tyrannical Emperor Fist.

He knows me too well!

Shen Jian's Launcher turned back, looking at this unfamiliar Mechanic character, and the face of Ye Qiu when he was still in Excellent Era appeared in his mind.

His habits, his flaws, this former captain knew them all like the back of his hand. This was far from the kind of understanding that opponents could gather by watching a lot of recordings and gaining experience in combat. This was an understanding accumulated through living together day and night.

"Throw sand towards me!"

"Keep Poison Needle on cooldown!"

"Mountain Breaker!"

Ye Xiu's command was mainly to give Steamed Bun tips, because he didn't need to command himself like that. His actions were also taking care of Shen Jian's habits and flaws. The main player of a powerhouse team was now firmly restrained. Being instantly defeated like an ordinary player, something Xiao Shiqin thought impossible was now playing out. It was even faster than Ye Xiu's one-on-one against ordinary players, but this was two-on-one.

"Shen Jian is dead!" The disappearing character in his field of vision, and the team's notification message, forced the Excellent Era players to accept this fact. And then, there were three system prompts.

"Not bad, there are three pairs of socks, not a wasted trip!" Ye Xiu nodded in satisfaction, called out to Steamed Bun, and this time, they really slipped away.
