Chapter 241 - The Joke’s Gone Too Far (1/2)

Zhang Xinjie understood exactly how skilled Jiang You and the others were. As the most skilled players of Tyrannical Ambition, they might not be good enough to be pros, but they weren’t so bad that they could be bullied by just anyone.

But right now, the four were struggling in the river of lava. They were pretty much being toyed with by their opponents. They were trying their hardest too. Who knew how many times they’d already tried jumping up. The four tried gathering together, separating, diversion tactics, hiding and then popping out, etc. They tried everything, but nothing worked. Their opponents’ defenses were impenetrable. Their opponents wanted to wait for them to burn themselves to death in this river of lava.

Their health slowly burned away. And as for Zhang Xinjie, after leading them through several failed attempts, all he could do was run around. Seeing this, the four players understood that even Zhang Xinjie was at wit’s end.

Seeing that Zhang Xinjie was still healing them, even though the four players were already exhausted,all they could do was continue trying to escape.

“Run! Run far far away!!” Jiang You shouted.

One on each side, the Sharpshooter and Blade Master ran along the banks as far as they could. This was already their final gamble. By splitting far apart, they would leave the Cleric’s healing range and then there would be no way of coordinating with each other whatsoever. Without the healing from the Cleric, they would eventually be burned to death.

However besides this, what other method was left?

Zhang Xinjie bitterly laughed. He originally wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

Jiang You’s method truly was stupid. Their opponents had experts and were superior to them in 1v1 scenarios. What Jiang You was doing was playing to their opponent’s strengths and their weaknesses. But since the situation was already like this and Jiang You and the others were still trying hard, it wouldn’t be a good idea to stop them.

And thus, Zhang Xinjie didn’t say anything. He continued to heal the members that were in range. Facing the unspecialized Lord Grim, who could be both close-range and long-range, he was finally able to witness the ever-changing Thousand Chance Umbrella. The two players were gradually getting farther and farther away and their opponents also had two players follow them, Cleansing Mist and Flowing Tree.

Everything was as Zhang Xinjie expected. This type of tactic hadn’t brought anything good to the table. The Blade Master and Sharpshooter were still being suppressed by Cleansing Mist and Flowing Tree just like before.

Zhang Xinjie sighed. He already knew the battle was already over. Cleansing Mist’s bullets fired and the Sharpshooter died, the Blade Master closely following after.

Crowd Lover and the Striker were under Endless Night’s healing, but they wouldn’t be able to stay alive forever.

“We’ve lost.” Zhang Xinjie typed the message into the public chat.

“Ha ha, I agree.” Ye Xiu replied.

“Who are you?” Zhang Xinjie asked.

“Just as who you think I am, an expert.” Ye Xiu said.

Zhang Xinjie was silent.

Ye Qiu, Huang Shaotian, Su Mucheng. These three names had flashed by in his head long ago, but he was a cautious person. If he wasn’t 100% certain, he wouldn’t be able to easily come to a conclusion.

If they really were these three, then Zhang Xinjie had to admit that he had played the joke too far this time. Trying to beat those three with just Jiang You and the others was impossible.

He had originally believed that the coordination and synergy between Jiang You and his team were their advantages.

But, in the Glory pro-scene, in the seven completed seasons, Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng had won Best Partners four times. The three times that they hadn’t won the award was because Su Mucheng had yet to entered the pro-scene.

Facing the two players with the greatest synergy in the entire pro-scene, how could Jiang You and his team’s synergy be an advantage? Hilarious.

If it really was like this, then Zhang Xinjie would feel very embarra.s.sed, but he wouldn’t be able to take back his a.s.sumption.

He had intuitively felt that they were Ye Qiu and Su Mucheng, but he had no definitive proof. As for that Flowing Tree, his playing completely exposed his G.o.d-level skill. But once he got on stage, he quieted down. Before, the reports said that he was very talkative, so why was he quiet now?

Were they different people?

Talking a lot wasn’t his habit, but something he did on and off?
