Chapter 227.1 - Double Summoner Cooperation

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Before the start of the competition, many players in the backstage area began to discuss the pros and cons of both lineups. Dynasty captain, Chu Jianxin, touched his chin thoughtfully. “Twin Stars finally went to battle. Do you think their lineup would be stronger if they had brought along Liu Hong instead of Shen He?”

“Not necessarily,” Sang Jun replied. “Liu Hong has a short attack distance and too few control skills. Shen He can play a bigger role as the auxiliary field control in this lineup. If Liu Hong were here, they would need another player in the back row, such as Pei Yu. The combination of Twin Stars and Liu Hong is a pure melee lineup, which is easily kited. Qin Mo should not be fond of this combination.” qjQLpY

Chu Jianxin turned around to glance at him. “Sangsang, it seems like you know Qin Mo quite well?”

Sang Jun smiled helplessly. “Before fighting the BOSS, you must naturally fully understand the BOSS’s various skills first. Otherwise, you will die a miserable death.”

“Then, do you think Mojue will win this game?” Chu Jianxin asked.

“If there are no problems with the cooperation between Qiu Zongping and Yuan Xi,” Sang Jun replied. paqEor

Chu Jianxin was puzzled. “Haven’t Qiu and Yuan been regular partners for over three years? They should share a tacit understanding. How can there be problems with their cooperation?”

“Wait and see,” Sang Jun replied. “Both of them have not yet gotten back their previous tacit understanding.”

Chu Jianxin could only turn back to face the screen, keeping his doubts to himself.

The big screen showed the audience perspective. After appearing at the spawn point, both sides immediately rushed to the middle of the map. Footholds on this swamp map were scattered, with large and small stones of various sizes. Larger stones were big enough for up to five people to stand on them comfortably, while smaller stones could only accommodate one person.

Xiao Han and Qin Mo leaped forward with parallel movements, with Shen He following them from behind, forming an isosceles triangle. Both Han and Mo protected Shen He, allowing Shen He to make timely decisions in the best environment to support.

On the other side, Zhou Xuewei was also protected in the back row, while Yuan Xi and Qiu Zongping walked side by side. Qiu Zongping started by directly summoning a mechanical blood cow, wanting to forcefully absorb a wave of damage in the team battle later—— against the violent Han-Mo combination, there was nothing wrong with a conservative start and a defense-oriented approach.

Very quickly, both sides met in the middle of the map. aNBrTV

The summoner’s attack distance was farther than that of a swordsman or an assassin. Right now, Qiu-Yuan could attack Han-Mo, but Han-Mo could not return the attack. Yuan Xi felt that they could join forces to take the lead, but because Qiu Zongping hadn’t ordered an attack, Yuan Xi did not dare to act without permission. In the end, he could only maintain a mutual supporting distance from Qiu Zongping, and continue to carefully observe the situation on the field.

At this moment, Qiu Zongping suddenly commanded. “Go!”

Having been hit into the swamp, Qin Mo was now poisoned, and because he was also controlled by fear, he could not use skills for the time being.

Yuan Xi’s approach was different from their original plan, which was to kill Shen He first. Still, it was something that couldn’t be helped, because Shen He was protected by the Twin Stars, and the distance between him and Shen He was too far away. It would take time and effort to bypass both Twin Stars to kill Shen He. Raising his handspeed, Yuan Xi continued to attack Qin Mo, while calling out on the voice chat. “Why don’t we kill god Mo first!”

“God Mo isn’t easy to kill,” Qiu Zongping replied. “Look for an opportunity to kill Shen He.”

Having said that, he immediately summoned a large wave of mechanical rats to bite Shen He who was not too far away, stacking three layers of weaknesses on him. q3yrvO

Since Qiu Zongping took control of the field, Yuan Xi knew that he was going to play the role of an output. However, just as he was about to attack, a small Q-version of a mechanical horse suddenly appeared nearby—— Shen He’s timely support controlled the three members of Sky team with fear, immobilising them in place.

After three seconds, both Han and Mo were released from their fear state. Qin Mo flew out of the swamp with qinggong. Xiao Han also followed with ‘Thousand Lights Ghost Walk’ skill and separated into five shadows. Both of them were like twin gusts of wind, flying towards the opponent in an instant, attacking Yuan Xi tacitly.

Shen He’s fear control only lasted for three seconds. However, in those three seconds, both Han and Mo had already caused Yuan Xi’s blood volume to fall below 50%.

Qin Mo immediately used ‘Heaven Sun Combo’ silence skill for follow up control. Meanwhile, Shen He dashed a few metres forward, hitting Qiu Zongping into the swamp with his mechanical chariot. Qin Mo also used his repel skill ‘Riverbound Sword’ to blow Zhou Xuewei back ten metres. f 50Ow

The audience only saw Mojue’s three players acting at the same time. Xiao Han was responsible for violent output to suppress Yuan Xi’s health, while the master and apprentice pair Qin Mo and Shen He teamed up to control the field, unexpectedly separated the three players of Sky team in an instant—— Qiu Zongping was sent into the swamp by Shen He, while Zhou Xuewei was sent flying by Qin Mo, leaving Yuan Xi in place as the primary target to kill~

Ye Chao couldn’t help but offer praise. “They divided the battlefield beautifully!”

“The cooperation between god Mo and his apprentice is very tacit.” Liang Ru was excited. “Sky team’s three players are separated, and Xuewei can’t add blood to them. Yuan Xi is in danger!”

At this time, Yuan Xi’s life was hanging on the line, because he had to face the combined attack of Han, Mo and He. ZIDtF3

Shen He’s mechanical snake trapped him in place whileXiao Han greeted him with a wave of skills. Qin Mo’s sword also took the opportunity to pierce his chest …

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Xi was left with only 10% of his health.

At this moment, the audience watching from God’s perspective saw Yuan Xi’s summoner ‘Dead Soul’ was still standing there besieged by the other three players, yet on the narrow stone ten meters behind him, a summoner named ‘Dead Soul’ appeared.

“Yuan Xi’s reaction is very fast.” Ye Chao was excited. “He opened the mechanical puppet at the most appropriate time!” cDl5Bp

Shen He’s 3-second fear and Qin Mo’s 3-second silence control had been cast. Aside from the time taken to release the skill, the three players still had about 5 seconds to kill Yuan Xi——but the time was still not enough. Yuan Xi wasn’t killed, and instead escaped with a mechanical puppet.

As Zhou Xuewei stacked a full layer of blood buffs on Yuan Xi at the beginning, Yuan Xi was slowly regaining blood despite losing blood while being attacked. Xiao Han’s wave of attacks had beaten him to a residual blood state; as long as he could use one more skill, Yuan Xi would die. However, Yuan Xi’s reaction at the critical moment was really first-class. He used a mechanical puppet to confuse the opponent, while the real summoner moved backwards, successfully retreating to Zhou Xuewei’s blood-adding range.

Zhou Xuewei’s first aid ability was definitely among the top healers. She released several blood-adding skills consecutively in an orderly manner, instantly filling up Yuan Xi’s blood volume. AsNHDU

Seeing this scene, many of Sky team’s fans began to applaud excitedly.

Having narrowly escaped death, Yuan Xi’s palms were sweaty. The moment he was besieged, he finally realised how terrible Twin Stars’ firepower was; it was capable of crippling him in just a few seconds. If Xuewei hadn’t had the foresight to give him a continuous blood recovery buff, he would have been finished.

Realising this, Qiu Zongping reminded him. “Keep calm, recover your state and fight again.”

Just now, he was pushed into the swamp and was poisoned. Fortunately, Xuewei had the ability to return blood. With a few blood buffs, she could fully restore the team’s health. eROxj1

“Their control skills are on cooldown, I will control Shen He, you kill him!” Qiu Zongping instructed.

“Okay,” Yuan Xi nodded. After Xuewei had fully healed him, he immediately flew forward.

Seeing him coming, Qiu Zongping hurriedly released the mechanical rats to weaken Shen He. However, Qin Mo suddenly appeared behind Qiu Zongping with the teleportation penetration skill of ‘Drifting Sword’, followed by ‘Sword Spirit Heart’ to immobilise him, then using normal attacks to interrupt Qiu Zongping’s casting.

Yuan Xi had already broken through at this time, and quickly went to kill Shen He—— all his pets were full of attack power. Shen He was bitten by Yuan Xi’s snake, and the blood loss was quite terrible. f3nj9R

Realising that he had become Yuan Xi’s target, Shen He immediately jumped across the stones flexibly with qinggong, but Yuan Xi’s three-year career as a professional player had not been in vain. His movement skills were better than Shen He’s; he chased after Shen He all the way, leaving Shen He with no choice but to use a mechanical puppet.

Soon, Shen He was beaten into a residual blood state by Yuan Xi.

Although Yuan Xi was also chased and beaten by Xiao Han, he was protected by Zhou Xuewei’s healing, and still retained over 80% of his blood volume.

While on the verge of death, Shen He made his final contribution—— Mechanical Hawk! osXv8y

The mechanical hawk swept in the air caused a lot of damage to the Sky team. Unfortunately, Shen He fell helplessly under Yuan Xi’s chariot.

—— Dead Soul has killed Drunken River!

Fans at the scene cheered loudly, but the next moment, the camera on the big screen suddenly changed to Qiu Zongping’s position, and everyone was shocked to find—— captain Qiu’s blood volume was only half?!

The audience realised that the situation wasn’t good. Qiu Zongping also realised that it was dire, but… it was too late! 41zE2w

The moment Shen He was killed, Qin Mo suddenly silenced Zhou Xuewei with his ‘Heaven Sun Combo’, and Xiao Han, who had been chasing Yuan Xi before, suddenly used his big move ‘Shadowless Dragon’. With ‘Golden Cicada Shell’, he teleported before Qiu Zongping in a single second, causing a large explosion with the help of Shadowless Dragon’s attack bonus—— Meteor, Deadly Ice Silkworm!

Xiao Han burst out with two combo skills, which was followed by Qin Mo’s pursuit skill—— Unrivalled Sword!

Qiu Zongping fell to the ground in an instant.

Looking at the gray screen before him, Qiu Zongping frowned slightly.

As soon as Captain Qiu died, Yuan Xi and Zhou Xuewei were left to fight against Twin Stars in a 2V2 match. However, the key point was that Zhou Xuewei had been poisoned from when Qin Mo threw her into the swamp. Coupled with the pressure to save her teammates, at this time, Zhou Xuewei only had about 30% of her blue left. While Qin Mo was also poisoned, he hadn’t used up all his big moves to kill Qiu Zongping. Instead, he deliberately maintained Qiu Zongping’s blood volume above the safety line, and in the end cooperated with Xiao Han to kill him, leaving Qin Mo with about 40% of his blood volume.

The other key to this battle was Xiao Han. Xiao Han had not been attacked and moved easily around the field, so his condition was much better than Yuan Xi’s.

Next, Qin Mo’s life-for-life style of play created great pressure on Zhou Xuewei, forcing her to sacrifice herself to transfer all her blue to Yuan Xi. phKa59

Xiao Han and Yuan Xi entered a 1V1 situation. Because Yuan Xi used up his qinggong value in order to kill Shen He, coupled with Xiao Han’s constant interference, Yuan Xi’s pet summoning was greatly affected. In the end, Yuan Xi had no choice but to fall under Xiao Han’s sharp blade.

Looking at the 1:0 score on the big screen, Qiu Zongping’s brow furrowed.

He had made a mistake in his judgment, and he walked into god Mo’s trap from the very beginning. Han, Mo and He joined hands to suppress Yuan Xi at the beginning to create the false impression that they wanted to kill Yuan Xi, but in fact, their goal had always been Qiu Zongping.

Xiao Han’s pursuit of Yuan Xi was just an act to make Zhou Xuewei focus on Yuan Xi. When Qin Mo and Qiu Zongping fought one-on-one, god Mo deliberately kept his blood volume at a safe value of about 50%, which was also to make Zhou Xuewei relax her vigilance. As a result, Qin Mo controlled Zhou Xuewei at the critical moment, and Xiao Han suddenly turned back to cooperate with Qin Mo to kill Qiu Zongping, catching them off-guard. dWIKS2

He had been too careless…

In the combination of Han, Mo, and He, it seemed as though Shen He was their weakest link, but in fact, he was the bait set out by Qin Mo.

Let Yuan Xi kill Shen He, because the both of them were summoners and their attack distance was equal. Yuan Xi had to bypass both Han and Mo to kill Shen He, paying a too-high price which caused him to be too far from Qiu Zongping, and was unable to cooperate to enact a rescue in time. Besides, the moment Yuan Xi went after Shen He, they had fallen into the passive position of being led around by Qin Mo!

If he had believed Yuan Xi’s judgment from the beginning and directly controlled the distance to kill god Mo, perhaps this game might have been easier to fight. chjrNX

Taking a deep breath, Qiu Zongping soon calmed down. “We will be in a defensive position for the second round.” Turning around, he glanced at Xuewei. “Do you want to ban one of the Twin Stars?”

“It’s better to ban one,” Zhou Xuewei suggested. “It’s hard to withstand the firepower of Han and Mo’s joint output, and the two of them have a tacit understanding. They both know what the other wants even if neither speaks, which is terrifying.”

“Okay,” Qiu Zongping nodded. “Then, we’ll let god Mo rest.”

Silent, Yuan Xi sat beside him with his head lowered in shame, certain that the fans were scolding him. After all, Shen He, captain Qiu, god Mo and Xuewei had been killed one after another, leaving him to 1V1 against Xiao Han. In the end, he had been killed by Xiao Han. In the eyes of the audience, losing the game was definitely his fault, because he couldn’t beat god Han. fMPurH

However, he had really tried his best. He tried his best to adjust his mood and pay attention to the game, but still lost in the end, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Yuan Xi lower his head in silence, Qiu Zongping whispered. “Don’t think too much, get ready for the next game.”
