Chapter 37

Liang Yan Cai had just approached when a half-health Rek'Sai sprang from the brush and ran toward the opposite direction, toward Zhong Lu.

Level 3, 9 stacks, no blue buff.

Just now, when I walked over, I saw the F4 camp was empty; the four birds plus the red buff big monster were 5 stacks, and among the remaining 4 stacks there was no blue buff...

Magic Swamp Frog plus three wolves?

Personnel positions, jungle route.

Calculating Rek'Sai's jungle clear route took less than a second.

Liang Yan directly controlled the Spider Queen to transform into a spider and pounce, biting to death the half-health red buff minor monster, and finishing off the remaining one with two basic attacks.

Forty coins clinked into the bag.

Nice!

I glanced at the minimap in a flash—enemies were coming, the vampire and the opposing bottom lane were moving in to surround this spot.

AP followed behind the vampire.

Our bottom lane duo also hung back at a distance behind Ezreal and Bard.

But after Liang Yan snatched the small monster, he slipped away.

To be frank, Liang Yan still didn't quite trust these teammates; after all, they weren't familiar, and this match was his debut—if they sold him out, he'd definitely be the one to take the blame.

However, just then, a small flag (signal) fell beside him.

The teammates' noisy chatter came through the headset at the same time.

AP: "Hit hit hit! We can fight!"

Mithy: "We can fight, we can fight! Take him!"

Zven: "I'm on my way! I'm here!"

Actually, Jhin and Bu Long were still over three thousand yards away.

But AP had indeed arrived.

Liang Yan overturned his plan to flee, and steeled himself—

On site, the commentator on stage shouted:

"Firrrrrre walked behind the dragon pit, he launched into the air! The distance is enough! He can jump onto the dragon and run!"

Liang Yan dared to invade so recklessly because he had already planned an escape route.

Elise's E ability in spider form is 【Coil】; the effect is to spit a spider silk that lifts herself into the air, making her untargetable, while granting vision of all monsters in a larger radius; the second cast can choose any monster within range as a target to drop down onto.

Simply put, this is a mobility skill with restrictions.

The dragon is an epic-level monster, so it can certainly be selected as a target.

Moreover, the distance between the dragon and the wall behind the dragon pit is about 500 yards, and the wall's thickness is about 100 yards.

And the maximum selection range of 【Coil】 is 750 yards!

(750 yards refers to the distance from model edge to model edge.)

Local battlefield situation (the blue Ryze is the vampire, can't change the map)

This is the escape route Liang Yan prepared for himself.

The moment he took off, he gained vision of the dragon; the cloud dragon in the dragon pit, originally asleep, had the mist pushed aside, rose up, fluttered its wings twice, and let out a threatening hiss.

Everyone thought the spider would fly down.

Night's vampire had already prepared to turn back.

Without voice comms, even G2's own teammates would be fooled.

At that very moment, the spider came down.

The target was not the dragon.

But the vampire who was turning back!

"Jeez! Another feint! Firrrrrre didn't flee—he jumped onto Night! Now Night's in trouble—he's caught between Firrrrrre and Perkz!"

The 【Coil】 skill gained a new mechanic in version 5.12: within 5 seconds after landing, the spider form's extra magic damage and healing are greatly increased!

With a whoosh, the purple giant spider lunged onto the vampire, and one bite of 【Deadly Venom】 took off a quarter of the vampire's health!

The vampire wasn't at full health to begin with; seeing Ryze follow up with an 【Overload】 blast, Night instantly hit FW, sprinted, turning into a pool of blood as he ran toward his jungle teammate Maxlore's Rek'Sai.

But due to delayed communication, the earnestly rescuing Rek'Sai burrowed up.

After Liang Yan reverted to human form and withdrew, he anticipated Rek'Sai's emergence position and timing the moment before it burrowed out, and cast 【Cocoon】 ahead of time.

With a snap.

Rek'Sai was bound in place the moment its head popped out.

AP excitedly shouted, "Take this!" and unleashed a barrage of magic missiles smashing down from head to toe.

【First Blood!】

The scarlet kill notification appeared above everyone's screens.

Unexpectedly, the last sliver of Rek'Sai's blood was actually killed by the burning effect of the red buff, and the 400‑gold first‑blood bounty fell into Liang Yan's pocket.

But while Rek'Sai was getting pummeled, the vampire wasn't idle either, unleashing a full skill combo onto the spider's face right in front.

GIA's duo also reached the battlefield at the instant Rek'Sai fell.

「Textbook‑level prediction! (Theread！Amasterclass!)」

「You call this a rookie debut?! 」

「That's right! Firrrrrre! He really is too slick! (ThatisCLEAN!)」

「Instantly melted! (Absolutelymelted!)」

「Maxlore couldn't even last three seconds before being killed! Firrrrrre took his head! But his teammates have already arrived on the scene! 」

「What?! SONSTAR, after arriving at the battlefield, actually directly used 【Arcane Shift】 to jump onto Firrrrrre's face and deal damage!! 」

The Spider Queen won't put up with this blond-haired kid! She turns into a giant spider and bites him in one gulp! Zven's Ignite long-range support lands a Deadly Splendor! Terrified, SONSTAR covers his head and runs!

Zoe! It's practically a perfect Flash two-link escape!

EZ just jumped up, fired two abilities, then immediately flashed backward; I don't know if he accidentally pressed something or what, but his heal ability also came out.

An extremely comedic scene, combined with the commentators' humorous remarks, had the audience below roaring with laughter.

However, EZ's damage still landed; a full EWQ combo hit him point-blank, and Liang Yan didn't have much room to dodge, his health dropping to a rather dangerous state.

In the midst of the chaos, Liang Yan glanced at the minimap.

From the state of the minion waves in the mid and bottom lanes, continuing to engage is advantageous for our side; the longer this fight goes on, the more the enemy will lose in minions.

Moreover, the bottom lane teammates are about to arrive on the battlefield.

So, even though turning back now would surely allow a safe escape, Liang Yan did not retreat but chose to use his body as bait.

Until the very last moment.

Finally! Firrrrrre has fallen!

But he has already delayed for too long! G2's duo has arrived on the scene! Zven took Night's head!

A two-for-one exchange! They're losing big! GIA this wave is simply losing explosively!

Indeed, they're losing big.

They gave up two kills, including first blood, lost an extra carry, but only traded for one enemy jungler kill; using the Europe caster's words to describe it:

Paidtoohighaprice!

Not worth it!

Vampire and Rek'Sai both died, the minion wave pushing into the mid lane tower had no one to last-hit, the gleaming bounty from last hits— at least two waves— was all confiscated by the tower.

Because the bottom lane is in a push state, the blue side's minions naturally advance, likewise continuously harvesting the gold that GIA's bottom lane should have earned!

Quoting a line from the live commentator:

Theyarebleedinggold!

Blood loss!

Who said they only lost one kill?

This wave, GIA lost at least a thousand!

If you also count the lost experience, even two thousand can't be contained!

As a commentator with an analyst background, Deficio can calculate that clearly.

Collapsed! GIA! Collapsed!
