Chapter 127: Refuse Assimilation!

Wow! Firrrrrre's Flash successfully startled Sencux, and then Sencux hastily fled with Ghostwalk!

Ahahahaha...

It's rare to see the invincible Monster Brother make a blunder; the three commentators laughed hysterically.

The audience also experienced a shift from cheers to laughter, and the Taolong Tiyuguan, filled with nearly twenty thousand spectators, was a scene of joy.

In G2's voice channel, the four teammates laughed like pigs.

Liang Yan was speechless.

He had intended to act cool, but the opponents didn't cooperate, so it turned into a blunder.

And yet that idiot managed to counter the expert...

This also counts as a lesson learned; next time when encountering this, you'll know: after using Flash, you should hold your skills, observe how the opponent reacts, then act—this way you can at least trade a Flash.

At the same time, Liang Yan also became wary.

He seemed to have a hint of being assimilated by the region.

This point must be especially noted from now on!

After helping push the lane in mid, Liang Yan returned to his own jungle and began clearing a set of F4 marked with Thresh's sigil.

After both junglers appeared, it was as if someone pressed the battle signal; shortly after the mid lane fight subsided, the camera suddenly switched to top lane.

Here too, the fight began; after Wunder's Renekton was hit by a spear, he charged forward with his ult, possibly dealing more damage than he imagined—Nautilus's HP dropped rapidly, Wunder killed intent flared, and he unleashed 【Scorching Heat】.

Lao Zhang's delay in using E was exactly for this: at the moment Renekton's ult landed, a 【Light Jump】 left the 【Scorching Heat】 radius; mid-air he simultaneously fired a 【Flying Dart】, landed while auto-attacking and positioning, then after catching the 【Boomerang Dart】 he threw another basic attack.

Island was low on health but his rage was full! Meanwhile Wunder had just entered the Red Buff state, unable to cast any abilities! Island rushed forward and unleashed a Tathagata's Palm to push Wunder back, but Wunder reacted in time and flashed out!

Wow! An unexpected turnaround!

Island didn't retreat! After the 【Throwing Boulder】 was deflected, he still pursued!

Nautilus leapt up with another stomp!

Nice!!!

Wunder's amazing positioning! Once again he dodged Nautilus's 【Painful Strike】!

Nautilus shrunk!

The 【Returning Throwing Star】 was unleashed again!

Finally hit!

But Wunder had already retreated under the tower! He felt that landing three hits would be enough to kill, yet Island's own HP was equally low, unable to withstand a tower shot!

Kill? Or not kill?

This is a problem!!

Between trading one-for-one with Flash and giving up the kill, Lao Zhang ultimately chose the latter; seeing Renekton enter the tower, he simply gave up pursuit, retreated into the brush, and began to recall.

Just now, when Renekton unleashed his ult, it also scorched some minion waves; at this point, the red side had a minion advantage top lane, so as both recalled, the wave would naturally push toward blue, meaning Renekton would lose more experience and last hits, his Flash would also be on cooldown, and Lao Zhang still gained something substantive from this exchange.

Liang Yan generously offered his praise.

After Lao Zhang got home safely, he breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves slightly relaxing; as he bought equipment and prepared to head out, he said with a smile:

The enemy had killing intent; if it weren't for his desire to kill me, I actually couldn't do anything against him. Renekton is still strong early game; despite my scheming, I still can't kill him.

My second skill combo was a bit rushed, and the opponent's mechanics were quite good.

Yes, his positioning is very slick.

No problem, he's out of Flash; I'll help you catch him in a bit.

Liang Yan cleared his way up the jungle, successively taking the three wolves, blue buff, and Magic Swamp Frog, then finally recalled in place; along the way, AP's Raptor came and took the blue.

In this game, there were hardly any early gank opportunities; Liang Yan basically kept farming until now, when he recalled for the first time.

The time was approaching 8 minutes.

While Liang Yan was recalling, AP roamed to bottom lane and successfully teamed up with the duo to kill the low-health Hammer Stone.

Thresh then arrived to collect the kill.

Liang Yan landed at the fountain, saw Thresh appear in bottom lane, and immediately sold his newly crafted jungle knife to the shopkeeper, buying instead a pair of Swiftness Boots plus 【Essence Reaver】 and 【Augment】, then placed a Control Ward, lay flat on the ground, and swiftly departed as an eight-legged spider.

This was a long trek, for which Liang Yan had deliberately bought Swiftness Boots.

He descended from his jungle trail, crossed the river, entered the red side's upper half, placed a Control Ward and a Stealth Ward, then detoured via the red buff camp to the Stone Armor Beetle camp, killed the Stone Armor Beetle, and crouched in the grass between two broken walls.

Lao Zhang's Nautilus was quickly pushing the lane, his ultimate ready and his rage nearly full.

Firrrrrre is lurking, and the tower sensed a familiar smell!

Wunder also sensed the danger, wanting to retreat from under the tower into the second turret, but Firrrrrre emerged from the brush and blocked him!

Moreover, the Raptor is also rushing! Teammates sent a mid-lane death Miss signal!

The Perkz train is ready!

You can't escape, Wunder! Turn around and directly unleash 【Scorching Heat】 onto the minion wave about to enter the tower, trying to change your fate of being dove by clearing the wave!

But Nautilus had already built up full rage! No minion wave needed—Island struck! In the instant Firrrrrre released 【Exploding Spider】, Island flashed forward, slapped the non-flashing Wunder stuck in a tower crevice, stunning him against the wall and following up with a deadly combo!!

Firrrrrre approached, sipped 【Neurotoxin】, smoothly followed with 【Cocoon】, transformed into a spider with 【Deadly Sting】, lunged forward, and QA directly executed the kill!!

Island stood bravely at the edge of the tower's range, tanking the tower until Firrrrrre safely left its attack range, then they left together!!

Wow! A textbook-perfect two-man tower dive tactic!!

It's over; I feel the tragic fate of Vizicsacsi in the semifinals is about to repeat on Wunder—although SPY banned the crocodile, it looks like the synergy between Nautilus and the spider is just as effective!

Yes, look at Wunder's expression—he's already wearing the mask of pain.

It's too strange—why is Trashy always a step behind Firrrrrre?

Because he doesn't have Swiftness Boots.

G2 had just finished a kill, and Trashy's Thresh once again rushed to collect the corpse.

But this time he didn't even snag a single tower minion, because before dying Wunder unleashed his ult to clear the minion wave.

The Stone Armor Beetle was also flipped over by Liang Yan.

Trashy was completely a wasted trip.

After Liang Yan finished killing the person, he entered the riverway and ate the river crab bearing the Thousand Jade mark.

Then he again made a long journey to the lower region.
