Chapter 648

Although they were all smiling, Zhao Chi couldn't shake the feeling that those smiles were dangerous.

Even without that reason, he still couldn't possibly predict match results for other people.

They're all adults; they have to be responsible for their own actions.

Although Zhao Chi wanted to brush them off quickly, the result was that more and more people crowded around.

Zhao Chi had no choice and immediately switched to Battlefield 9.

It was still quiet here.

At the same time, he called Zhao Huai and the other two in.

Zhao Jiao laughed, "What's wrong? Can't handle being the heartthrob of ten thousand?"

Zhao Chi sighed, "What heartthrob? They just want to make money."

Zhao Huai asked, "Who's the opponent in the next match? It can't be Yuan Zhao, can it?"

"No, it's Jiang Die."

Zhao Jiao said, "Jiang Die is also very strong. Over these past few matches, she's performed with great confidence, but I feel her strength definitely isn't just this—she must be hiding some killer move."

Lu Hong added, "Yeah, although Jiang Die is currently ranked 3rd, her odds are even lower than yours. Looks like the bookmakers think your win rate is a bit lower."

Zhao Chi nodded: "What skills does she have? How many heroes?"

Zhao Jiao said, "Jiang Die only has 2 female elf heroes, but her skills are very unremarkable—they're all status-type."

Zhao Huai said, "I think there should be accuracy-boosting spiritual techniques. Those female elves shoot very accurately, and their power is strong. There might also be attack-boosting or armor-piercing spiritual techniques."

Zhao Jiao continued, "And that Jiang Die herself hasn't used any skills. I estimate she must be hiding her skills."

Lu Hong said, "I see most of your soldiers are melee. In the next match, hang back a bit—don't get suddenly focused-fired and killed by arrows."

The three of them each took a turn speaking, chatting for quite a while.

Zhao Chi figured he'd heard about seventy or eighty percent of it.

But no matter what, an opponent's strength heard about is still just heard about.

In the end, a fierce battle is unavoidable.

But Jiang Die's female elves are all ranged, so the next match probably won't be close-quarters brawling anymore.

It should be the enemy shooting while retreating, and him blocking arrows while pursuing.

Although he still didn't know Jiang Die's true strength, the fact that she'd made it to the semifinals already said everything.

He estimated that at the start of the next match, he'd have a very rough time being shot at from range by Jiang Die and would be at a big disadvantage.

But once he got in close, he should be able to turn it around.

Although everyone's analysis made sense, the one who knew Jiang Die best right now was still Lu Yi.

She had just fought Lu Yi and felt it most deeply.

Lu Yi was eliminated by Jiang Die in the Top 8 qualifier and didn't make it into the Top 8—no telling if she's still around now.

After contacting her, Lu Yi readily agreed: "I'm here, Zhao Chi. I've been at Battlefield 1 the whole time. I'll cheer you on in a bit."

Before, few people were watching Zhao Chi, so he could spot Lu Yi at a glance.

But now Battlefield 1 had over 5,000 people—he couldn't possibly keep track of them all.

After hearing Zhao Chi's question, Lu Yi agreed very readily.

"Is it not convenient for you to come over directly? I'll go to Battlefield 9; there shouldn't be many people there."

In an instant, a graceful figure appeared on the other side of the passage, looking left and right nonstop.

Zhao Chi went over, and the two of them walked to a spot with fewer people.

Seeing Zhao Chi, Lu Yi smiled, then looked a bit indignant.

She was also very angry about what Jiang Die had done before.

"Zhao Chi, I'll tell you everything—you can definitely kill her."

Zhao Chi told her the observations the others had made.

Lu Yi nodded:

"Right, Jiang Die doesn't seem to have any flashy tactics or spiritual techniques, but I just couldn't beat her. Her skills should all be enhancement-type.

"Her elves shoot very accurately, with great force.

"And they can even dodge my skills. I suspect her elves are enhanced in accuracy, attack, evasion, and movement speed.

"But I don't know if it's enhancement points or spiritual techniques.

"Her kind of enhancement, while not as explosively violent as tactics or attack-type spiritual techniques, is extremely stable.

"Her overall strength is very strong.

"But I still think she's definitely not as good as your female soldiers."

"Besides that, they have another ability—I'm not sure if it's a tactic or a spiritual technique.

"An arrow flies in, damage is average, but the knockback force is huge.

"Originally running, the result is you stop very quickly and have to start running again—really messes with movement speed."

Jiang Die knows this kind of skill too?

One arrow to stop you mid-run?

That really would mess with movement speed.

Zhao Chi hurriedly asked, "Do they use this skill often?"

Lu Yi nodded: "Often. I suspect it's more like a tactic—the damage is much lower than their normal arrows, but it has this annoying effect."

The most common bow tactic isn't this kind—Jiang Die must have bought it at great expense, or it was given by her family.

With this kind of "snaring arrow," the enemy's speed is greatly affected, letting the elf archers' power be brought out even more.

Lu Yi continued, "Besides these, Jiang Die also has a movement-slowing spiritual technique. But you have heroes that can cleanse abnormal statuses, so that spiritual technique can be dealt with."

Zhao Chi was about to speak when he suddenly heard a woman's voice from behind.

"Oh~ who's talking about me behind my back? And 'deal with it'? Hilarious."

Zhao Chi and Lu Yi both turned their heads at the same time.

They saw Jiang Die and a few members of the Jiang family standing a little over ten meters away.

Walking toward them.

When had they arrived?

Jiang Die stared at Lu Yi and said: "Oh, so it's you, my defeated underling. If the referee hadn't stepped in, I would have shot you with a hundred arrows before letting you die."

The pain sensation in the virtual space is 100%, and unless one commits suicide, there really is a possibility of being tortured to death.

Lu Yi frowned: "The Jiang family are all perverted lunatics; even the referee couldn't stand watching."

Zhao Chi carefully sized up Jiang Die.

Jiang Die was not bad-looking.

At the very least, she was on par with Lu Yi.

Compared to the women in the village and the academy, she was indeed quite outstanding.

But her eyes were utterly devoid of emotion, completely unlike Gu Qing's gaze, which was full of feeling.

Zhao Chi loved staring into Gu Qing's eyes, and Gu Qing also loved it when Zhao Chi looked at her.

But Jiang Die was the complete opposite.

Zhao Chi wasn't afraid of her, but he always felt that looking at her didn't feel like looking at a person, but rather like looking at a snake.

Jiang Die laughed: "Lu Yi, your family won't be jumping around for much longer. Just wait."

Lu Yi gave a cold laugh: "Oh really? You've become a prophet now? I didn't know the Jiang family had this kind of ability? Or have you really thrown in with the alien race?"

Jiang Die's smile deepened: "Do you want to know?"

A very dangerous smile.

Zhao Chi felt that Jiang Die, like Lang Hu, was also a lord with genuine strength of her own.

A surging killing intent was being held in check.

If released, it would absolutely make one's blood run cold.

Lu Yi took a step back.

Jiang Die smiled: "What a coward. The Lu family is nothing special either. Next it'll be your turn, Zhao Chi, right?"

Zhao Chi scratched his head: "No."

Jiang Die's eye twitched: "……You're not?"

"No."

"……What, even the Zhao family doesn't dare to admit their own identity? With the Zhao family's strength, they really can't be called a clan. If it were me, I'd be too embarrassed to admit my own identity either."
