Lando sneered from behind, "I'm starting to suspect if this is a deliberate attempt to get us into Group B."
Nangong Qi said, "Actually, it doesn't really matter whether it's Group A or Group B. It's really annoying to lose to that kid. Let's just watch the game first. There's nothing we can do for now."
Ji Siyue said, "Trust them. I think they'll play well."
The terrain of the rain - forest game is very winding. There are many trees and vines that can be used as cover or for emergency relocation.
In such a terrain, the strategy of four protecting one is not necessary. It seems that the opposing team is also using a four - protect - one formation. This might be the only consolation for Qin Chengyao's team in this round.
As soon as the game started, the opposing team rushed to seize the high ground regardless of anything. Even if they lost 20% of their HP in the process of seizing the high ground, they didn't care at all. They didn't have a healer, but they seemed very confident that the remaining 80% of their HP would allow them to fight until the end.
Qin Chengyao said, "Xing Xing, come closer to me. I can't die in this round no matter what!"
Xing Xing replied, "Copy that!"
Xing Xing slowly ran towards Qin Chengyao and stood in front of him. After a while, he felt that this position was a bit inappropriate, so he switched positions with Qin Chengyao. The two of them were respectively in the front - left and back - right positions, which could cover the whole team at the same time. This was the most suitable formation at present.
When the two sides had been fighting for about ten minutes, their HP had dropped to 30%.
This was when Xing Xing, the healer, showed his value.
Although he wasn't a super - skilled healer, he knew how to hide behind his teammates and use his skills.
In just two minutes, he raised the whole team's HP above 50%.
The advantage and disadvantage were decided at this moment. It was now twelve minutes into the game, the most crucial moment.
Either Jun Chen launched a desperate counter - attack and killed the opposing team's carry, and they could win with their remaining HP; or Xing Xing kept raising the team's HP and exhausted the opposing team.
In Jun Chen's gaming room.
Grapefruit sneered and said to Tian Feng beside him, "Now it's time for you to show your strength."
Tian Feng smiled. Instead of going directly, he turned to Grapefruit and asked, "What's your decision on the thing I told you before?"
At such a critical moment, instead of launching an attack, he asked this question. Grapefruit immediately got angry and glared at him.
But when he saw Tian Feng's unyielding look, a look of hesitation flashed in his eyes. Thinking that he must win, he suddenly turned his gaze back to the computer screen, gritted his teeth and said, "I agree, but you must kill that guy on the other side first! This is our only chance to win now. If we delay any longer, it'll be too late!"
The other teammates couldn't help but break out in cold sweat when they heard this conversation. They couldn't understand it.
But at this moment, these two were like the souls of the whole team, so they had no choice but to trust them.
Tian Feng smiled confidently after getting the answer and said, "Don't worry. Whoever you tell me to kill, that person's mentality will definitely collapse in this round!"
The whole Jun Chen team started to gather their skills and rushed towards Qin Chengyao's direction with an 85% hit rate.
Even with a 90% dodge rate, it might not be possible to dodge such a high - hit - rate attack. Xing Xing held a healing skill in his hand, afraid that the next skill would come and kill the captain. If the skill hit, maybe he could still heal the captain at the last moment, just like the captain had saved him many times.
At this critical moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Seeing that the skill was about to hit, Xing Xing unconsciously moved closer to Qin Chengyao.
Qin Chengyao stared nervously at the screen. There was a sense of uneasiness in his heart, feeling that something was a bit off.
When the skill was only 500 points away from him, he finally realized what the opposing team was up to. He quickly shouted at Xing Xing, "Get out of here quickly! Artillery! Ground explosion!"
Bai He replied, "Copy that!"
It turned out that the target of that skill was Xing Xing, not Qin Chengyao!
Xing Xing also noticed this and quickly tried to dodge, but it was too late. Even though Bai He's mine blew him to the side, the hit rate was extremely high. He was locked on and frozen immediately. No matter how hard he pressed the keyboard, he couldn't use the skill in his hand.
Just like this, the healer was killed.
In this situation, it was predictable what would happen to a team without a healer.
After a bitter struggle, they still lost the game by a narrow margin.
When they were defeated by that final combo of skills, the outcome was already set.
As the victory horn sounded, Qin Chengyao took off his headphones, gently placed them on the keyboard, leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, and somehow, he even smiled.
Just because he could smile didn't mean the others could.
Especially Xing Xing. Being targeted like this for two or three rounds in a row really tested one's mentality.
His eyes were a bit red. Ji Siyue was standing in the spectator room, looking at Xing Xing's face on the live - broadcast screen, feeling extremely heart - wrenching.
After an unknown period of silence, Xing Xing was the first to stand up. He stood beside his chair, bowed deeply to the camera, then smiled with red eyes and mouthed, "I will keep working hard."
Just this sentence almost made Ji Siyue's eyes turn red too.
Lando, who was like an old father, finally couldn't help but cry, but he still had a smile on his face.
"Xing Xing has finally grown up."
After experiencing depression, decadence, and collapse, after seeing himself clearly and thinking about his future goals, he became stronger, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
The camera switched to Jun Chen's gaming room.
After a long and hard battle of five rounds, they finally won the game. Obviously, they were extremely happy. They hugged each other and celebrated this victory happily.
On GH's side, everyone stood up silently, walked to an open space, bowed deeply to the camera, then the five of them hugged each other, said a few words to encourage each other, and then left the room together.
Although Jun Chen won this game, everyone's hearts were involuntarily drawn to the other team.
GH... seemed to be the most united team with the strongest team spirit they had ever seen.
Even when they lost the game, they could still smile and encourage each other.
After returning to the spectator room, Ji Siyue and the other two also stood up to greet them after their long - day battle.
