Chapter 139

The leopard woman hadn't appeared in SPY's vision for almost a minute; Sencux, half a minute earlier, had walled over to his own F4 to ward and found F4 missing, so he guessed the leopard woman was probably in his own jungle, but the wards in the bottom lane tri-brush and in front of the stone armor beetle camp also had vision, yet they didn't see the leopard woman, so Sencux started to wonder.

Trashy also couldn't figure out where the leopard woman was.

Could it be that she went to jump the dragon pit?

The red buff is about to respawn...

Trashy was a bit anxious; at that moment he was near the top lane, the troll had taken too much damage, Ekko might dive the tower, and he had to protect the troll so it could finish this wave and push into the tower before he could leave.

If the leopard woman really wanted to invade his red buff, Trashy would have to go to the enemy jungle and counter-invade, otherwise it would be too costly, but without vision he couldn't be sure where the leopard woman was.

Finally he couldn't help but ping, hoping the mid and bottom teammates would come over to check.

"I'll go."

Sencux volunteered, after clearing the lane he retreated into the fog, entering the jungle from the chokepoint in front of the middle second tower. He was still cautious; his plan was to place a ward over the wall and then return.

Just as he stepped out of the F4 brush, a booming sound came from afar; quickly, the brush behind him was sealed off by a thick wall, and the rock sparrow slid along the wall toward him.

Sencux's heart jumped; he turned his head and ran toward the bottom second tower.

Just after he took a step, a spear flew out from the nearby wall and, with a crack, stabbed him for nearly three hundred hit points! Shanzima was already squishy; at level seven he had just over a thousand health, so three hundred was almost a third of his health!

"Hit!"

"The damage is so high!"

Sencux knew he was doomed, gave up struggling, stood in place and let the leopard's claws strike him.

Liang Yan saw this and wanted to give him a hand, but AP hadn't even finished his stone pierce combo before he left.

After killing him, he gave a retreat signal to the top lane, then went over and took the stone armor beetle camp, waited a while feeling there was no chance in the bottom lane, and then returned to base.

Back home he crafted a pair of cooldown shoes; going out he still followed the exact same jungle route, the only difference being this time he added his own team's blue buff—Liang Yan had a level‑three jungle knife and hunter's potion, so he wouldn't lack mana, and the cooldown shoes already gave him the cooldown reduction, so he gave the blue to AP to consume, then continued clearing the enemy's lower jungle.

Pushing the bottom lane into the tower, he noticed the hammer stone was missing and quickly warned his teammates, but it was a bit late; the wine barrel and hammer stone appeared together in the top lane, finally allowing Lao Zhang to catch and kill Ekko once.

Following Shanzima's teleport down to protect Kobbe's big mouth while he farmed lane, and the wine barrel and troll quickly cleared the top lane minion wave before walking on foot to the middle lane to fill it.

SPY's operational flow proceeded smoothly, and it actually looked quite proper.

The economic gap narrowed, and the kill count was even.

"Both sides fought for ten minutes, and the economy returned to the same starting line again!"

"They played SPY really well this game; it looks genuinely promising!"

"Yes, Big Mouth's development is really not bad."

"But there's still a level gap: the top lane is behind one level, the support is behind one level, the jungler... What?! A level 10 Leopard Woman!"

"Ah?!"

Jankos on the commentator's bench was also stunned.

At 10:30, the Leopard Woman reached level 10.

Even AP's mid lane Sparrow is only level nine!

A jungler actually has the highest level in the whole game!

Is this correct?!

"But... I noticed that Firrrrrre also isn't that easy to play; none of the three lanes have stable control, and although the Leopard Woman deals high damage, to catch someone she still needs teammates to provide some assistance, otherwise her skills are hard to land."

"Indeed."

Just past eleven minutes, the Leopard Woman entered the blue side's upper jungle to counter-jungle; the Troll came over to defend strongly, but the Leopard Woman neither fled nor dodged, hardly kiting at all—she threw her Q point‑blank. Yet even with the Troll exerting his full strength, he could not prevail and was caught and killed outright by the Leopard Woman.

"You can win even by standing and fighting the Troll?!"

Sencux's Karma arrived shortly after, but after being hit, the Leopard Woman killed her in one combo.

"Holy cow! This damage!"

SPY no longer dared to catch the Leopard Woman, and began to cause trouble around the bottom lane.

Around thirteen minutes, SPY, coordinating with the Troll's TP, again caught and killed G2's duo, then proceeded to take down G2's bottom turret and also secured the dragon.

The Leopard Woman, together with Ekko, destroyed SPY's top turret; because they started destroying it first, they earned the first‑turret bounty ahead of SPY.

Both sides' economies were almost completely even.

The Leopard Woman began to lead the entire game by two levels.

The commentators insisted that SPY now had the advantage.

At sixteen minutes, both sides erupted in a large‑scale team fight in the red side's lower jungle; it ended with a three‑for‑two trade, G2 killed one extra, the Leopard Woman and Big Mouth each secured a double kill, but the Leopard Woman survived while Big Mouth died and surrendered the big head bounty (the team bounty).

At seventeen minutes, the Troll single‑killed Ekko and destroyed G2's top turret; the Leopard Woman then rushed in and took the Troll's head. At the same time, Fanzi Ma roamed to mid lane, teamed up with the duo to strongly kill Perkz's Sparrow, but the tower‑hammering Thresh was also pinned under the tower by a long‑range arrow from the Ice Archer.

At eighteen minutes, the Leopard Woman once led the entire game by three levels; in the blue side's top lane, she lurked in the reclusive grass patch and caught the resurrected Troll emerging, killing him in one combo.

Afterward, Ekko TPed down to help the Leopard Woman take the second turret, but was stopped by the arriving SPY members; however, G2's remaining players seized the chance to destroy SPY's bottom turret.

At eighteen and a half minutes, the Leopard Woman lurked in the blue side's upper jungle and caught the SPY duo returning to mid; she first instantly killed Big Mouth, then chased down and killed Thresh, but because G2's main force was still in the lower half, she couldn't seize the moment to take down SPY's middle turret, ending up only taking a single dragon.

……

Just past twenty‑seven minutes.

The combined kill count for both sides exceeded forty.

Yet the economic gap was less than three thousand.

AP was about to leave, marked the top lane minion wave, indicating he intended to push the lane.

Liang Yan reminded him:

"Without vision, don't take the mid lane across the river; just come back when it's about done."

AP replied with a grin:

"Stop nagging, Mom; I'll definitely be back before dark."

"Get lost, call me Dad!"

"Flower Q!"

🖕

Get lost, get lost!

Childish.

At twenty-seven and a half minutes, AP brought the minion wave past our side's top tower's remaining base, preparing to go place a ward in the Triangular Grass, when suddenly three burly men rushed out from the mist on the forward path.

At the same time, the enemy duo also rushed out from the bushes ahead, obviously lying in wait for a long time!

Holy shit!!!

AP shouted loudly with proper tone, then turned and headed toward the second tower, unleashing his ultimate.

Behind him, Mikyx's Hammer Stone turned into a yellow light and vanished on the spot; upon reappearing, his hook had already been launched, while AP's homemade train had just departed.

A grating, teeth‑grating screech sounded.

The rock sparrow was pulled down from the wall top.

AP's face instantly turned pale.

Thinking I'm doomed, the big dragon is gone, Ka Lao Si is going to beat me to death… sob sob sob…
