Chapter 1186 Divine Reversal

Shadow Trap, once triggered, the Thief will immediately appear at the trap's location.

If you were to summarize the use of this skill in two words, it would be: Ambush.

It refers to a sudden close-quarters attack on an opponent, and also the most common skill that Thieves use in conjunction with Shadow Traps: Ambush.

If the Ambush skill successfully hits an opponent, it will inflict double assassination damage, while also causing the target to be stunned for three seconds. It works quite well with the Thief's Stealth, or even with this Shadow Trap.

But for Ye Xiu, he didn't need to Ambush at all. All he needed was this opportunity to get close.

What did close-quarters mean? Everyone knew very well.

As soon as this Shadow Trap was placed, the joyous atmosphere in Blue Rain's home stadium was instantly cut off. The venue seemed to have been muted, suddenly falling silent.

But very quickly, jumping, shouting, and laughing resumed. The Xingxin fans in the west stands were getting excited!

"Divine reversal!!!" they shouted.

Yes, it was indeed a divine reversal.

But how this divine reversal was achieved, no one knew at all.

How was the Shadow Trap placed? How did he know that Yu Wenzhou would step on it at this time?

Pan Lin looked at Li Yibo, and Li Yibo looked at Pan Lin. The commentary fell into a very awkward situation. They couldn't escape this question even if they wanted to.

Fortunately, Lord Grim's attacks were fierce at the moment. Pan Lin pretended to commentate on the scene, while Li Yibo hurriedly reviewed the previous events.

By staring so intently, Lord Grim planting the Shadow Trap was indeed found by him. But the problem was, he found it, but Li Yibo couldn't find the reason why this Shadow Trap was placed here.

Li Yibo was sweating anxiously. The director sent a message saying that many viewers had even called the program hotline to ask what was going on.

Li Yibo was in tears. What was going on? He wished he could make a call to ask.

In the past, when he made a fool of himself, it was just making wrong inferences, but after seeing the truth clearly, Li Yibo could always round it off somehow. But this time, he couldn't grasp the situation at all. How could he round it off? He couldn't just say it was luck, right?

Sorcerer fell.

This result was expected. In close-quarters combat, Yu Wenzhou was at a clear disadvantage. He had ideas, experience, and judgment, but Ye Xiu was no worse than him in these aspects. Furthermore, the unspecialized class's quick attacks had a super-fast pace, and Yu Wenzhou's shortcomings were magnified even more. In the end, everyone could see his difficulties. Many of Blue Rain's loyal fans in the audience couldn't bear to watch anymore, but Ye Xiu didn't take it lightly at all. The unspecialized class's quick attacks, from beginning to end, had an even tighter rhythm than usual.

In the first match, Xingxin won. However, when this result actually came out, the mood at the venue was relatively stable. After all, when that Shadow Trap exploded, everyone had already prepared themselves mentally. Blue Rain's fans knew that no matter what it looked like, their captain must have fought very hard. If it was so easy to take half of Ye Xiu's character's health, would their captain not usually play in the individual competition?

Applause.

Yu Wenzhou still received applause when he left the stage. Although the result was a loss, Blue Rain's fans were already very satisfied with everything he had done.

"Add oil!" They shouted in unison, hoping that their Blue Rain players would not be discouraged by this.

Blue Rain's players were indeed not discouraged. They stood up and welcomed their captain.

"Well played!" everyone said.

"Being taken away in one wave and still playing well?" Yu Wenzhou smiled wryly.

"You almost took him away in one wave," Huang Shaotian said.

Yu Wenzhou shook his head. He knew the situation better than anyone else.

"When did he place that Shadow Trap?" Yu Wenzhou asked Huang Shaotian.

"When he released the goblin to chase you," Huang Shaotian said.

"At that time?" Yu Wenzhou was thoughtful, and he already had a rough idea in his mind, but now was not the time to think about it in detail. Blue Rain's second player to take the stage had already stood up and was looking at him, waiting for his instructions!

"It's a pity, I fell into his trap too quickly. Add oil!" Yu Wenzhou said to the second player who was about to take the stage.

Song Xiao, a key player who always had highlights in the playoffs.

As a result, he was suppressed by Ye Xiu in the individual competition in the last round, and the team competition was even more depressing. He had full health, but before he could even perform, everything was already over.

"Watch me!" Song Xiao perked up and took the stage.

The arena match's map remained unchanged, still Jungle Mist. During this interval for changing players, Pan Lin and Li Yibo had a good chat about this map, talking nonstop as if they had something to say. This talkative behavior showed their nervousness, because the two of them had not been able to explain how Ye Xiu had judged the location of that Shadow Trap in the previous round. The two of them were awkwardly changing the subject by talking about the map!

Soon, the second round of the arena match began.

Lord Grim had half of his health taken away in the last round, and then he took some more damage when he forcefully killed Sorcerer. In the end, his health was thirty-nine percent. So at the beginning of this round, Ye Xiu first healed Lord Grim a few times, restoring his health to fifty percent, causing a lot of complaints from the audience. Only then did he calmly control Lord Grim to set off.

Like the previous match, Lord Grim went straight to the middle road. And what about Turbulent Sand, who had set off first? Song Xiao chose to detour to the east.

Then, when he reached the center of the map, Ye Xiu stopped Lord Grim from moving. But he didn't find any trace of his opponent around. Did he use tactical maneuvering again?

Ye Xiu was simple and direct. He didn't guess. He directly asked in the channel: "Are you going to ambush again?"

"Why would I choose this map if I wasn't going to ambush?" Song Xiao said very confidently. As a key player with a big heart, Song Xiao had excellent resistance to trash talk and didn't avoid chatting with people.

"That makes sense! I'm at 24, 58. Come and ambush me!" Ye Xiu directly reported his location.

"Please wait, I'll be right there," Song Xiao replied.

"Left or right?" Ye Xiu asked.

"Sometimes left, sometimes right," Song Xiao replied.

"Okay!" Ye Xiu replied, and then, in full view of everyone, Ye Xiu made Lord Grim leave the coordinates 24, 58.

He went straight, towards Blue Rain's spawn point. After rushing out for a while, Lord Grim turned right.

The venue was in an uproar. With this turn, Lord Grim had gone behind Turbulent Sand!

"This... this..." Pan Lin "this"-ed twice. He wanted to ask "How did he do that?", but the suspense of the divine reversal was never understood in the end. Pan Lin swallowed the question back.

How was this judged? Li Yibo was also surprised at this time.

Was it from the chat just now? Li Yibo carefully pondered the few words Ye Xiu said. Was there any probing in them?

"Guessing," Yu Wenzhou's conclusion from Blue Rain's player bench was extremely simple.

"Guessing?" A teammate was puzzled.

"It's either left or right, fifty-fifty. It's like saving a penalty kick. If you save it, you've earned it. If you don't save it... he won't lose anything if he doesn't save it. Of course, it's worth a try," Yu Wenzhou said.

"Then he's too lucky!" Blue Rain's players were as depressed as if they had missed a penalty kick.

While speaking, Song Xiao had arrived near those coordinates, but he didn't walk out of the mist to expose himself. After stopping, Song Xiao took the initiative to greet him in the channel.

"I'm here," Song Xiao said.

"Liar, I didn't see you," Ye Xiu replied.

"I didn't see you either. Fire two shots and I'll look for you," Song Xiao said.

"No, that's a treatment only for captain-level players. We can't mess up the rules," Ye Xiu said.

"Then there's no way. Let's just take our time," Song Xiao said.

"Blue Rain's intention to choose this map today seems to be to take their time," Li Yibo suddenly said at this time.

"This map, there's no way not to take your time..." Pan Lin said.

"If you want to fight directly, of course there's a way. Just meet in the center of the map. But both of Blue Rain's players are using tactical play, intentionally using the characteristics of this map to drag the battle rhythm into annoying repetition. This..." Li Yibo felt like he had caught something again and was about to organize his thoughts before speaking, when Pan Lin suddenly shouted, "Got it!"

In Ye Xiu's perspective, a faint figure had already appeared. He had finally found Turbulent Sand by going around.

As a result, Song Xiao seemed to have heard Pan Lin's shout, and the faint figure disappeared in the blink of an eye. Lord Grim charged forward for several steps, but his vision still couldn't find any trace of him. The audience had a God's perspective and could see clearly that when Lord Grim quietly appeared, he had accidentally gone around to the front of Turbulent Sand instead of the back. Both sides saw each other.

As a result, Song Xiao didn't seem to want to fight at all, and Turbulent Sand immediately hid behind a tree.

Lord Grim rushed out, but Turbulent Sand hid behind the tree and went around, avoiding him from a distance.

"This..." Pan Lin was a little puzzled. Song Xiao wasn't ambushed as soon as he came up. Both sides discovered their opponent at the same time. If Yu Wenzhou ran as soon as he was exposed, everyone would understand. But what about Song Xiao? Although he was suppressed by Ye Xiu in the last round, he wasn't as short-handed as Yu Wenzhou after all. He could still fight! But in this situation, he ran as soon as he saw him. What did he want to do? Did he also want to find a chance to completely control his opponent before making a move, like Yu Wenzhou?

But Sorcerer was a warlock, with many control methods. Yu Wenzhou's plan could take shape. Song Xiao's Qi Master would probably have a hard time creating such a perfect opportunity, right? Did this guy just plan to keep ambushing and being a scoundrel?

Pan Lin thought so, and Song Xiao indeed made Turbulent Sand go up to ambush.

Ye Xiu was experienced. Although he didn't see Turbulent Sand when he rushed over, he still remembered the location of the figure just now. When he came over to look at that location, he had his own judgment on how Song Xiao was hiding. Lord Grim was about to step in this direction to chase him. But just when everyone thought that Song Xiao was about to escape, he suddenly made his character make a surprise attack.

Sky-shaking Cannon!

Just as Ye Xiu was letting Lord Grim go around that tree, estimating Song Xiao's escape route, Turbulent Sand pushed over with a Sky-shaking Cannon.
