Chapter 572 Top Poison Milk
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the second round of the elimination match between the Tang Poetry and Song Ci Club and the Cross Club officially began.
When the time came, both parties were collectively pulled into the dungeon space by the summoning stone.
The Cross Club still uses a four-protect-one lineup with Purple Arthur as the main player.
Similar to Master Yan Wu, Zi Yasuo is a healer, damage dealer, and tank. He is also the tactical core of the Cross Club and is known as the most reliable man in the entire esports community.
The professions of their other four players are Priest, Priest, Mage, and Meteorologist respectively. They focus on control and healing, and protect Purple Arthur at all costs.
This strategy worked very well in the first season, and the Cross Club relied on this lineup to win the runner-up.
However, these days the famous bad luck Grantham has been debuffing the Cross Club on the forum, casting a shadow on the hearts of their fans. They shouldn't be able to lose against a team that just swam up in the last round, right?
The characters entered the arena, and the selected match map was displayed on the big screen: Crystal Lake Bottom. Once both players confirmed their participation, the match could begin. If neither player confirmed, the match would be forced to begin within five minutes.
"This picture!" Zhou Ning couldn't help but let out a sigh. The Cross Club was in trouble. Could it be that they were really going to be killed by Grantham's milk?
Crystal Lake is a standard water battle map. A dormant ancient god, endowed with immortality, lies at the bottom of the lake. Once players on either team begin dying, he revives and attacks both teams from behind, in the order they died. The solution is to lock eyes with your opponent for five seconds before they launch an attack, thus skipping their attack.
Therefore, in addition to being wary of your opponents, you also have to be wary of the ancient gods behind you. The atmosphere is full of terror. Therefore, ordinary players often skip this map when playing in the arena.
In the past, this type of map was the one that foreign clubs were best at. According to statistics, the winning rate of foreign clubs on water maps was 7 percentage points higher.
But not anymore.
Because of the butterfly effect he brought about, the unpopular dungeon "Gnomeregan" is rich in a staff called "Water Vine", which allows you to breathe underwater as long as you carry it. It is impossible for a large domestic guild like Tang Shi Song Ci to have not considered this. Don't underestimate the logistics of a large guild.
Although a new rule may be added after this game to ban underwater breathing equipment in water battle maps, at least in this battle, the Cross Club is already half done for.
The game begins, the map is loaded, and after a countdown of more than ten seconds, the fight officially begins.
The two teams were once again positioned at opposite corners of the Crystal Lake map. From a bird's-eye view, the lake's bottom offered a breathtakingly beautiful view. Strands of red seaweed floated beneath the crystal-clear water. Numerous fish and shrimp swam slowly among the weeds, creating a tranquil scene.
Among the water plants in the middle of the lake, there was a sleeping ancient god with a huge body and wearing a white mask. From time to time, a few bubbles popped out from his thoughts.
These bubbles are also a map prop. After eating the bubbles, you will fall into a bloody frenzy state, increasing your attack while sacrificing your defense.
The commentators for this game are still the two brothers Pitaya and XB.
"Damn it! The Tang Poetry and Song Ci Club actually took out the water vine. This makes it very difficult for the Cross Club. They are on the road to a comeback right away. The opponent doesn't need to worry about breathing. They just need to keep avoiding the fight!" As soon as the game started, Pitaya shouted.
The course of the game was just as he said. Originally, the Cross Club focused on stability, while Tang Shi and Song Ci were more aggressive. In this picture in the previous life, Tang Shi and Song Ci were defeated by the Cross Club.
But now the situation is reversed. The Cross Club has fully utilized various detection methods, including the priest's detection of humanoid creatures and the knight's perception, and is slowly advancing towards the diagonal line step by step.
The Tang and Song poems over there seemed to be neither hurried nor slow, appearing very steady. They moved along the right side of the map, only occasionally looking up at the sky. Because the use of mixtures and potions was not allowed in team competitions, breathing could only be done by swimming to the surface.
This map is considered to be relatively large among the arena maps. Due to the poor visibility underwater, the two teams are perfectly staggered.
The Cross fans watching the game were scratching the wall anxiously. Someone had already started shouting, but the two were not in the same dimension and the Cross Club could not hear it at all.
By this time, the Cross Club's oxygen supply had been depleted by half, but the steady Purple Arthur remained calm. He firmly believed that his side had the advantage in water combat because they had more ranged attacks. The enemy warriors had some mid-range and long-range attacks, but most of their skills were still close combat.
Purple Arthur decided that even if a fight came, he wouldn't give the other side a chance to get too close. He positioned himself directly in front of them, and when they were within range, he'd attack. Both sides needed to recharge, and since he had more healers on his side, the other side would definitely be the one to die.
But the problem was that Purple Arthur and his men's breathing bars were almost exhausted, while the other side's were still full. At this time, the two sides met somewhere at the bottom of the lake, and Purple Arthur's command was actually recovered.
"You guys step back, I'll attract their attack, remember to take good care of me." Zi Arthur commanded in a deep voice.
It was not easy to dodge underwater, and Purple Arthur was grabbed and thrown by the opponent with a [Ghost Hand], and fell heavily to the bottom of the water. Purple Arthur instantly activated the Skin of Steel, which freed him from control and added a lot of defense. At the same time, he planted the Holy Flag of the Temple of the Earth on the ground.
This is the knight's skill, which can increase his health and defense within the flag range.
Then a large number of attacks hit him, but only a string of pitifully low damage such as -79, -45 appeared, and he was instantly healed.
However, the attack on him was not over yet. Just when Zi Arthur wanted to fight back, another person not far away performed the [Ghost Hand Grab and Throw] and pulled him out of the range of the Holy Flag of the Earth Temple. He only had time to twist his body and use his shield to block the opponent's attack.
"Purple Arthur is truly a world-class athlete. Even when he lost his balance and was in a very unfavorable situation, he still used his shield to block his opponent's attack. Hmm? What is this? Master Yan Wu suddenly transformed into an octopus. Two extra hands appeared under his ribs, each equipped with a weapon, and launched an attack towards Purple Arthur! Revenge, Two Sleeves of Green Snake, Heroic Strike, Silver Light Falling Blade, Yan Ranwei Le used four skills in succession with his four hands, and Purple Arthur's health dropped rapidly!"
"This seems to be an unknown item sold by the game's protagonist, Wayne Stewell: the special effects of the Shiva Temple bracelet. The price is a whopping 35555 Vectars. Master Yan Wu is spending a fortune!"
Zhou Ning nearly vomited, but luckily he didn't use the Shiva Temple Bracelet. After using this thing, Yan Wuye looked a lot like Octopus Hachi from One Piece. He would probably lose a lot of female fans if he won this match.
The audience could see clearly from the God's perspective that Purple Arthur had very high defense, and his two priest teammates healed him in time. Although his health went up and down, it was soon restored.
But the problem was that at this time, the two priests of the Cross Club were already healing under the BUFF of Breathing Severance, and the meteorologist and the mage could only throw a few continuous damage skills at the opponent and start swimming to the surface.
Purple Arthur gave himself an Iron Skin again and tried to move toward the water. He just floated up for a distance when he was caught by another enemy's [Ghost Hand Throw].
He took advantage of the situation and tried to recover, summoning the Holy Light Warhorse under the water, hoping to use the warhorse to charge and break free from control, but he was grabbed again.
Ghost Hand Grab and Throw...The first person's cooling time is also over.
At this time, the two priests who were constantly healing had to swim to the surface. The Breathing Severance BUFF would cause the blood loss to increase faster as the time underwater increased. If they continued to swim in the water with the Breathing Severance BUFF, they would die here.
The fans of the Cross Club closed their eyes.
I really can't stand it anymore. My great player was played like this. To be frank, it was like a person encountering a great white shark underwater and dying miserably. But when I think about it carefully, Purple Arthur's handling of the situation was flawless from beginning to end. In fact, someone else would have died a more miserable death.
The fans of the Cross Club who were watching were feeling very depressed.
Being caught by the [Ghost Hand Grab and Throw], Zi Yase's attempt to evade was of course unsuccessful, and his health began to drop bit by bit. However, Yan Ran Wei Le had already rushed up again and launched a fierce attack on Zi Yase.
There's no way to fight this!
Zi Arthur sighed and gave up struggling. This was really a bloodless murder.
After killing Purple Arthur, the screen shook and the evil god under the water opened his scarlet eyes and began his hunt.
Soon, he locked onto a pastor who was still upstream and quietly approached from behind him...
A moment later, the screen of the priest, whose health was already low, went black, and he turned into a white light and died.
The following battle was one-sided. The Cross Club lost another man, adding insult to injury. With Tang Poetry and Song Ci waiting for them underwater, they were powerless to turn the situation around.
Despite the trick of using water vines, it is still worthy of praise to be able to formulate tactics based on the advantages of water vines and win the game with zero damage without bloodshed, which made the audience on the scene almost enter the sage time.
The reputation of Grantham's poisonous milk has officially entered the eyes of European and American audiences.
