Chapter 362: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Guard Against

Why isn't he using his ultimate!

Backstage, A Bu watched the team fight replay on the stream, getting angrier the more he watched, and couldn't help shouting.

The Second Prince sitting at the back heard that, froze for a moment, then carefully looked at the screen, and realized it really was……

The factory's blind man never used his R skill even to his death.

Ai Luoli was stunned.

He thought the factory chief wouldn't have forgotten, would he……

No, no, no, how could that be, that's too absurd.

……

Twelve minutes in, both sides continued laning.

VG's advantage in mid and bot was already very clear, and they began to push the lane without restraint.

Liang Yan no longer obsessed with farming the jungle for development; even though jungle monsters in the upper half had respawned, he didn't go, staying instead in the lower half to protect mid and bot lanes, while also taking Xiao Duan around to place vision.

The factory chief also brought Meiko to set up defensive vision; after VG finished placing theirs, he went in to plant his own, and soon used up all of the factory chief's vision.

At thirteen and a half minutes, the two sides' jungle supports fought for control of the grass patch behind the enemy's red buff camp; Xiao Duan's Hammer Stone hooked the factory chief, forcing Meiko's Tahm Kench to use Devour.

Sima Laozei's ultimate was ready, and Liang Yan issued the attack signal:

"Brother Ma, fire an arrow!"

Sima Laozei, who had just reached the riverbank, shot an arrow without hesitation.

"Hit!!!"

What a miraculous arrow, it perfectly hit the factory chief who had been spat out by Tahm Kench!

Xiao Duan just walked up and used his E skill to pull the factory chief back.

Liang Yan jumped up and kept grabbing and biting.

When the factory chief lost control, he was already low on health; he kicked Liang Yan away with one foot and at the same time collided with Hammer Stone.

But the Marquis's Snake Woman slowly came up from behind and spat a glob of phlegm, slowing the factory chief, then QEE directly took the kill.

Behind them, three assists came in a row.

The few VG fans present all burst into a cheer.

"The factory chief died again!"

"Meiko quickly destroyed the Explosive Fruit to fling himself to the other side of the wall, escaping danger, uh…… Sima Laozei shot really well."

"I suddenly recalled that iconic moment from last year's World Championships……"

"Horse Treading Flying Arrow!"

"Pfft…… what would you call this wave then?"

"This wave, this wave actually isn't the factory chief's fault."

"Meiko coordinated well, right?"

"The factory chief said, 'I dodged the first but not the fifteenth; hidden arrows are hard to guard against.'"

The audience laughed hysterically.

In VG's internal channel, Fu Lan Duo, who had nothing to do after pushing the lane in top, also laughed hysterically.

"What a miserable Blind Monk, it feels like you guys have made the factory chief want to die."

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Duan laughed happily,

"It's not my fault either; who made him want to play around here~"

"Brother, that's their jungle; what does it mean for him to play around here……"

"Unsportsmanlike."

The Marquis said as such.

"A zero‑four kill score is actually fine, but the gold gap seems a bit big." Chang Mao continued to lull the audience.

Ji De then used his unique voice to refresh the audience, cleared his throat, and said:

"On VG's side, the Mantis and Snake Woman each have one kill, and the Ice Archer has two; one could say the positions that needed development most have all gained extra benefits, and the situation is looking great."

"It's not looking good, EDG; Sima Laozei is developing too well."

"The lower half has fallen again, with F6 and the red buff now in the Jiao Shen's pocket; moreover, because the two of them are applying pressure in the jungle, EDG's duo dare not linger under tower, Sima Laozei can easily push the lane alone, while Xiao Duan's Hammer Stone has been freed."

"Mid lane was also heavily affected; Scout's flash wasn't ready, and after the wards on this side of F6 were cleared, even the minion waves dared not be taken, so they could only stay far from all exits of the lower jungle, hiding far away to gain some experience."

"This is so tough, Li Rui Chan."

Liang Yan saw Scout not giving an opportunity, didn't linger waiting, and directly jumped from F6 over to join the Marquis in taking down the tower.

EDG's middle tower had about a third of its health shaved off; the Mantis caught up with Hammer Stone's wall‑thrown lantern, whoosh, and then disappeared into the jungle mist.

The factory chief respawned, knowing full well the entire lower half had been cleared of jungle monsters to farm, yet he had to come over to help with vision.

Just bringing Tahm Kench isn't enough; he also had to call Scout over.

The result was that, just as Scout approached the entrance to the lower jungle before the middle second tower, a Hammer Stone flashed out of the mist.

"Ah x——!"

Scout was startled into a cry, reacted, but could do nothing, because Ryze has no mobility skills, and his flash was on cooldown.

"The VG jungle supports had been crouching for several seconds and finally got their chance! Xiao Duan flashed, used Fate's Swing to pull Scout back, then threw a lantern at the Marquis!"

"The Jiao Shen jumped up!"

"The Marquis also caught the lantern and came forward to deal damage!"

"Scout, whose double summon was still not ready, was almost instantly killed!"

"The Jiao Shen secured this kill!"

Ah? EDG is about to lose a mid tower! Changzhang alone wouldn't dare to defend it!

Another big wave.

Over ten seconds later, EDG's mid tower collapsed amid a booming sound.

After pushing the tower, the three quickly headed down.

In EDG's team channel, Meiko shouted:

Someone's coming! Someone's coming! Hurry and go!

Mingkai, don't worry about the Zhong Lu minion wave, hurry down, or the tower will fall again!

Changzhang glanced at the minion wave about to enter the range of the second mid tower, gritted his teeth, suppressed the urge to pick up a wave of minions to farm, turned his head and ran down.

But Changzhang ran in vain; VG wasn't going to catch anyone or push a tower, they just wanted to apply some pressure to EDG's duo so that Sima Laozei, who was alone defending Xia Lu, could push the lane.

Actually, the three VG members pressed recall halfway through.

However, since EDG had no river vision, they couldn't obtain this information and still foolishly ran down.

When Meiko noticed that the enemy hadn't shown up at all, she realized something was off:

tmd, they wouldn't have recalled, would they?

In vision, Sima Laozei immediately retreated after pushing the lane, obviously also intending to recall.

Meiko finally realized she had been tricked……

nnd, playing sneaky with me!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Meiko was so angry she felt like vomiting blood, but had nowhere to vent, so she gritted her teeth and swallowed it down:

"They've gone back, we should hurry home and change gear!"

EDG's mid, bottom, and jungle four members hurriedly recalled.

Meanwhile, the three VG members who had returned home first resupplied at Quan Shui, changed gear, and then simultaneously headed out; Marquis returned to mid to clear the lane and then ran down, together with the jungle support seizing the initiative to swiftly take the freshly spawned dragon.

Killing, destroying towers, and taking the dragon—the whole wave of momentum was completed in one seamless flow.

Amid the cheers of the VG fans on site, they remembered to shout loudly:

"VG has secured the second dragon!"

Su Xiao Yan stared at the big screen, eyes wide with shock:

"VG's rhythm is so smooth, and it feels very familiar, like LCK's playstyle!"
