Chapter 370: Why don't you dare to look straight at me!

Fu Lan Duo was blasted into Ye Qu and couldn't return for a while; Marquis saw he couldn't catch up either, and had no appetite for the thick-skinned, rough-fleshed Bo Bi, so he simply turned back to Zhong Lu.

And Scout didn't even go back to base, chugged a potion, made a wide loop behind Da Long Keng and returned to Zhong Lu to reconnect.

The situation calmed down, and the director switched to the teamfight replay.

Because there was plenty of time, the replay point was picked fairly casually, starting from when VG's two players took the blue buff and onward.

Su Xiao Yan looked very excited:

"I need to carefully watch Jiao Shen's play—how exactly did he dodge the Snake Woman's ultimate this fight? I didn't see it clearly at all!"

He said, "He didn't bring Cleanse either, and the jungler isn't a lion dog lacking crowd‑control removal—since he wasn't controlled, he must have turned his head to dodge."

"But he didn't break his combo!"

"Then there's only one truth: under heaven, only speed is unbreakable!"

However, sometimes faster isn't better.

For example, this fight, someone was too fast, so they deserved to be scolded.

Liang Yan originally thought he could kill two in this fight, but he ended up underestimating Scout's play and overestimating his teammates, and in the end only a sliver of health let him escape.

"Sorry, this fight I missed my Q."

Marquis apologized over the mic. He was referring to the EQ combo he used when he finally took Ai Luoli's kill—at that point, one E was enough to kill Mang Seng.

The final Q skill was wasted.

If that Q had hit the Snake Woman, Scout would indeed have been dead.

But that was also playing it safe, so there's nothing to blame.

Liang Yan also didn't blame him.

"It's fine, that's how it should have been played. But Fu Lan Duo, what the hell's going on?"

Changing the subject, Liang Yan launched a tirade at Fu Lan Duo.

He normally doesn't criticize others' play, but this time he really couldn't hold back—Fu Lan Duo really messed up, showing off and throwing away the kill.

Fu Lan Duo knew she was in the wrong, sat up straight, and took the scolding.

If in that fight he had shown off a little less, not just chased flashy combos, kept a flash, or held onto Lorenzo's Heartseeker Blade to block skills, Scout would definitely have died.

Liang Yan continued: "I think you've got something wrong in your head—can you actually deal proper damage? All that flashy stuff, is it useful?"

Fu Lan Duo gave an embarrassed grin:

"My bad, my bad, Dad, stop yelling—I won't dare do it again."

"If you dare again, I'll grind you into dust."

Liang Yan hummed twice.

Fu Lan Duo stayed silent for two seconds, then muttered: "I just miscalculated my damage—off by a few drops of blood..."

"You're still talking back?"

"……"

Liang Yan respawned at Quan Shui, unleashed his ultimate, and flew straight from base to the bottom half.

At that moment, the two players in Zhong Lu hadn't returned to base yet, were desperately clearing the wave, and their health was fairly low.

Liang Yan finished clearing his red buff, rushed straight to Zhong Lu, waited a few seconds for an opening, and when Scout moved in to clear the ranged minions, he popped out from behind his own F6 via a tunnel, flashed, and knocked him airborne.

Marquis knew the Snake Woman was low enough to die, but he was low on mana and needed to save it for clearing the wave, so he only used a basic attack to chip in an assist.

Liang Yan landed a Q-Q-E combo and snatched the kill.

"You're being too greedy, Scout! With such poor shape and no flash, you still dared to be reckless—finally Jiao Shen caught you!"

"This fight really shouldn't have happened—with health that low, you should have retreated ages ago."

"And he can definitely hear the jungler's ultimate sound effect, so he absolutely knew the jungler had arrived in the bottom half and just refused to leave!"

"Uh… maybe it's because there was vision in the bottom river, and he got careless."

"What is this? It's still the same old saying: you can dodge the first but not the fifteenth. If I'd known, I'd have just died in that earlier river fight—loss would've been smaller."

"... That couldn't have been known beforehand, right?"

"I'm just saying, if—uh-hah-hah-hah-hah!"

Liang Yan grabbed the kill, headed back to lane, swept the river with his scanner, placed his ward behind the enemy's red buff in the brush, and made sure there was no enemy vision around.

Then he returned to Zhong Lu again, crouched behind the blue team's F6 camp at the entrance, quietly waiting for an opening. Not long after, Fu Lan Duo came over to join the fun.

"Jiao Shen's back again!"

"And Sheng Qiang Ge is here too!"

"Scout is playing very carefully, sticking close to the bottom river to clear the wave, his own jungler is here farming river crabs and all the entrances are already warded, so from a positioning standpoint it's relatively safe—but VG has three people!"

"No reason needed—just go in! Marquis activated his passive speed boost and charged straight forward!"

"Scout didn't dare run to the river because he'd be cc'ed and forced back under tower—but that's also a dead end! The jungler and Sword Maiden charged out from the opposite side path!"

"Petrifying Gaze!"

"All missed, my goodness!!"

"The moment Jiao Shen popped out of the hole, he again turned his head to dodge the Snake Woman's ultimate!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge's Sword Maiden tanked it with Lorenzo's Heartseeker Blade! Scout was directly stunned by the rebound, and Jiao Shen followed up to knock him airborne!"

"Can't get away!"

"Ai Luoli rushed over but couldn't help, just looked from the sidelines and still didn't dare to engage!"

"Scout died again!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge took that kill!"

"Whoa, that's insane, Jiao Shen—dodging two Snake Woman ultimates in a row!"

"Scout said: 'You little bastard, look me in the eye! Let's have a fair duel!' But Jiao Shen said: 'I'm scared of snakes.' Then he turned his head—hahaha..."

The long-haired guy who hadn't spoken for a while then cracked another cold joke.

However, the VG fans were happily cheering right now, and they burst into laughter.

Before the laughter faded, the Marquis placed a ward in the riverbank grass, and just saw Mang Seng disappear at the edge of vision; without hesitation he unleashed his ultimate.

"Ryze is driving!"

"Jiao Shen and Sheng Qiang Ge are also chasing!"

"Ai Luoli is dodging the ward and running! But it looks like she might still be caught! She can only use flash the moment Ryze appears!"

"It's so chaotic, EDG; if this continues we might collapse again!"

"Indeed it's too chaotic; it feels like the rhythm is starting to go wrong."

"Looking at this, it seems EDG's substitution hasn't had much effect either; Ai Luoli this game... has he made a move?"

"Um, I don't remember, but I think he did."

"I actually feel it's because Jiao Shen started to exert force, because the timing has arrived."

"Oh?! Timing, exactly, the long-haired teacher used that word well; indeed the timing has arrived, because the time has already reached ten minutes!"

"Yes, in the previous game Jiao Shen also seemed to start exerting force around this time."

"Exactly. However, although VG caught someone this wave, they still paid a price."

"That's right, Sheng Qiang Ge missed a lot of minions."
