As the parties involved, the Crusaders’ players were naturally more frustrated.
By the time they were resurrected from their hometown, the atmosphere within the entire team became extremely awkward.
At this moment, Akdas finally remembered something and looked at Champs, asking, “When we were chasing, what did you want to say?”
Champs uttered four words, “Be careful, it’s a trap.”
Akdas remained silent for a long time before nodding, “Hmm, understood.”
However, it was evident that it was too late to understand at this point.
When he forcefully interrupted Champs’s words and went against the team’s decision, they had already fallen into the instance arranged by Seven Silver Coins.
Regret was inevitable, but at this moment, Akdas could only secretly take a deep breath and wave his arm, saying, “Let’s go, find the BOSS. If we can take down the BOSS, there might be a chance later.”
A chance, it was the only chance.
The wipeout at this point meant that they would have a much longer resurrection time than others. Once they encountered enemies later, being helpless was inevitable. This made the prospect of advancing to the top eight in the following rounds seem even more bleak.
But was giving up the only option? Akdas was clearly unwilling.
At this time, it was the first Century Cup after the withdrawal of Yu Weize. If he couldn’t take the lead and achieve good results, trying to regain the support later would probably be very difficult.
Feeling gloomy, Akdas, along with the other two mechanics, released a batch of miniature mechs, attempting to use the advantage of the mechanics in reconnaissance to quickly search for the hiding place of the BOSS.
The voice of one of the mechanics players sounded in the team voice chat, “Team Captain, I found the BOSS’s location, but there are already people there, and not just one team.”
Akdas felt relieved upon hearing this news.
So quickly having information about the BOSS, could it be that even the heavens were helping him?
Just as he was about to ask for specific details, he heard the mechanic player continue, “It seems that Rattlesnakes found it first, but Blood Roses and Seven Silver Coins have already started fighting. They probably want to snatch it forcibly. Should we… still go?”
Akdas felt the gazes of his teammates on him, but his mind was throbbing painfully after hearing the name of a certain guild. “You just said, who’s there?”
Mechanic player: “Rattlesnakes.”
Akdas: “The other two behind them.”
Mechanic player: “Blood Roses and Seven Silver Coins.”
Akdas: “.”
The scene of calling upon the heavens and the earth without a response surfaced in his mind again. However, faced with these stubborn guys who just wouldn’t go away, he could only grit his teeth, “There’s no point in going! Let’s go, see if we can find the other two BOSSes!”
Controlled to the point of speechlessness, not to mention being unable to resist, even health points couldn’t be suppressed.
The only meaning of going to join the fun was probably to present their heads on a silver platter.
Clearly, he couldn’t stand these people, but unfortunately, he couldn’t get rid of them. How infuriating!
The movements of the teams on the field were displayed through the god’s-eye view at the spectator arena.
Tao Zi captured the movement of the Crusaders and expressed surprise, “Huh? I thought the Crusaders would choose to take revenge in the chaos. Judging by the situation, can it be considered as admitting defeat?”
Brother Tiao, on the other hand, showed understanding, “With that lineup, there’s basically no way they can fight. It’s probably causing psychological pressure. I think their proactive avoidance of the battle is a wise choice. Although they are currently besieging Rattlesnakes, once the Crusaders appear, not to mention Blood Roses, at least it’s uncertain who Seven Silver Coins will target.”
The last words made Tao Zi laugh, “Indeed, they might not be able to change the situation even if they come over now. Currently, Rattlesnakes seems to be in quite a predicament.”
In fact, not only were they in quite a predicament, even the perennially gloomy Snake Scorpion Curse was almost driven to the point of exploding.
Before this, he obviously couldn’t have expected that Blood Roses, after failing to ally with them in the last match, would actively team up with Seven Silver Coins to counter them in this one.
Most importantly, the two support gods from these two teams cooperated exceptionally well.
It was well known that in a chaotic or one-on-one situation against Blood Roses, winning half the battle was possible if they could find a way to quickly take down Gentleman Fan within his protective circle.
Blood Roses was naturally well aware of this, so they always positioned Gentleman Fan in the safest spot at the start of each battle, and he was always ready to fall back for support. In such a situation, breaking through Blood Roses’ formation was already extremely difficult. Now, adding Seven Silver Coins to the mix just made it more lively.
The final result was that the players from Blood Roses completely cast aside concerns about falling back at any moment, while on the side of the Seven Silver Coins, it seemed as if the seven silver coins were firing with full force, completely ignoring the existence of HP. The subsequent healing and control seamlessly controlled the situation. Although it appeared that the backdoor was open, in reality, with the mutual support of Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands and Poisoned Milk, all offensive intentions were quietly resolved without a trace.
D*mn, those support players are really tricky!
Under the siege led by Yu Weize, the Snake Scorpion Curse ultimately couldn’t withstand it and became the second casualty in their team.
No One Crossing and the team’s War Craftsman had originally planned to quickly kill the BOSS under the delay created by their teammates. However, the Alliance forces came fiercely this time, and after the rear was breached, realizing that stealing the kill was hopeless, they had to fight back desperately, attempting to take away at least one opponent before falling.
As a top-notch swordsman player, No One Crossing’s full set of activated skills had a remarkable effect.
Tons of damage under the protection of the War Craftsman’s Golden Demon Puppet, and just as it seemed that they were about to kill Yu Weize, who was at the forefront and receiving high healing from Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands and Poisoned Milk, a green light surged under their feet, enveloping all team members. This abruptly raised the nearly depleted health of the fragile Mechanic.
Others might not be aware, but as one of the parties involved in the formula trade, No One Crossing was well aware of what the radiant glow in the runic field meant.
His mouth twitched fiercely, and not willing to give up, he quickly prepared a new burst skill.
However, with just a moment of buffering, it was enough to provide space for Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands to unleash her skills.
No One Crossing could only watch as Yu Weize’s health instantly filled up. Before the big sword could swing down, the four-cornered mechanical creatures crawling on the ground, who knows when they had bypassed the defense barrier created by the Golden Demon Puppet, emitted a fleeting red light. The burst of damage took away the remaining one-third of his health.
Without healing and damage support, the War Craftsman, a tank class, was left with a fate of being slaughtered.
“If you want to stay in the league, take this first BOSS.” Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands expressed generously at this moment. After all, their current ranking on the scoreboard was slightly higher than that of the Rattlesnakes. The previous wipe had tilted the balance in their favor, and if they could successfully suppress the Rattlesnakes in the ranking, they would achieve the ultimate goal of this match. Compared to the ownership of the BOSS, if the Rattlesnakes had taken the boss points from the previous leader, that would have been the most headache-inducing situation for them.
In general, pleasant cooperation should always show some sincerity.
“Thanks.” Han Yuze saw that the Blood Rose knight players had stabilized the BOSS’s aggro for them. He waved to his brothers and unceremoniously accepted the fruits of the war.
Jiang Shi was about to follow when Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands suddenly called him out.
He turned around, inquiringly.
Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands gave him a scrutinizing look before finally asking, “The one you just used, is it a healing field?”
Jiang Shi nodded, “Yes.”
Only then did he realize, “Oh, you’re asking about that. The formula for that, I sold it to Rattlesnakes back then.”
ReReturn to Spring’s Skillful Hands: “?”
The main perspective live stream viewers: “?”
A few seconds later, whether in the Rattlesnakes’ or the Seven Silver Coins’ live chat, the flood of question marks covered the screens.
This move is amazing!
Selling rune formulas to a professional guild?
Do you guys at Seven Silver Coins have this kind of business?
Naturally, it wasn’t just Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands who noticed this.
In the omniscient spectator scene, the two commentators who had witnessed the entire firefight fell into silence together.
After carefully choosing his words, Tao Zi said, “The rune field used by Poisoned Milk just now is indeed crucial! The pre-cast lasted until the completion of the construction almost precisely, right? If it weren’t for this brilliant move, No One Crossing might really have faced Yu Weize’s big healing and directly replaced him on the scene.”
“You’re right.” Brother Tiao naturally understood what her words implied. Combining the situation during the previous matches, he cleared his throat and tentatively threw out the topic, “That rune field does play a crucial role. However, have you ever felt that the effect of this field seems somewhat familiar?”
Tao Zi raised his head, coincidentally meeting eyes with his co-commentator.
Then, finding a trace of confidence in each other’s eyes for their speculations, he said with certainty, “Indeed, it’s a rune field!”
After smoothly bringing out the inferred conclusion, when looking at the field again, Tieshi’s trailing voice for the first time in his professional career sounded a bit uncertain because of his confusion, “What’s going on here? Rattlesnakes and Seven Silver Coins, both research and development teams, seem to have independently developed rune stones with the same attributes in the same Century Cup…?”
The two commentators did not have the live broadcast visuals from the main perspective, so naturally, they couldn’t hear Return to Spring’s Skillful Hands’ conversation.
However, some viewers who were multitasking between several live streams heard the words and enthusiastically relayed the information in the barrage. In a moment, the screens were filled with a plethora of question marks.
Finally noticing the content of the barrage, Tieshi said, “So, the healing rune formula of Rattlesnakes was actually bought from Seven Silver Coins!?”
He unconsciously read it out loud, and by the time he realized he should cover his mouth, it was already too late.
But at this moment, aside from worrying about the prize money that might be deducted, his mind was left with only one thought.
If this news is true, it’s bound to become the front-page headline that can’t be suppressed even by today’s promotion list, right!?
