Chapter 388: Human Warmth Ye Qu
Finally, the jungle's blessing arrived; Sima Laozei and Xiao Duan both sighed in relief and began quickly clearing the minion wave.
The red side's minion wave already had a numbers advantage; Varus and Janna used the momentum to pressure; forcing a hard tank is unwise, so WE's duo naturally fell back.
At this moment, Liang Yan entered WE's jungle; he used an EQ to poke at the F6 camp, walked two steps forward and placed a ward in the grass, then while clearing the jungle he pulled toward the river.
The Marquis's Clockwork coordinated with a swift lane push.
Liang Yan had just smited the big bird when Condi's mantis appeared from the red buff direction.
"Condi saw Jiao Shen stealing his F6, but didn't dare to come up, because the Prince already hit level six and the Clockwork's positioning was moving this way."
"The big bird is gone."
Liang Yan picked up the big bird and two small birds, turned and walked toward the river; only then did Condi dare to approach, pulling the aggro of the three small birds back.
Guan Zeyuan watched this and teased:
"As the saying goes, leave a line in life to meet later; Jiao Shen is still decent, every time he counter‑jungles he leaves Condi a sip of soup."
"That's really full of human warmth."
The audience burst into laughter.
Condi saw the Prince entering the river and seemingly heading for mid lane, worried the Prince would go to counter his three wolves, so he picked up the three small birds and hurriedly ran up.
This scene was clearly visible to Liang Yan's vision.
With a clang, the Prince directly used an EQ combo to return to WE's jungle, spear in hand, sprinting quickly toward the bottom lane.
"Huh?! Jiao Shen turned back!"
Jes, who had returned to base a step earlier and walked up lane, already appeared in the top lane, quickly pushing; meanwhile, Big Tree, who had returned home much later, had just come down from high ground, and 957 likewise didn't use TP.
In the bottom half, the Prince came behind the dragon pit, standing on the Explosive Fruit.
He slammed his spear down; with a bang, the Explosive Fruit blasted the Prince high into the air, directly flying over the wall and landing below the Stone Armor Beetle's camp.
The moment he landed, Liang Yan placed a ward.
Fu Lan Duo's teleport was instantly applied; the top lane minion wave wasn't cleared yet, but it was already pushing toward the enemy.
"Here it comes! A four‑two with top lane teleport!"
"There's a ward in the Triangular Grass, it saw the Prince! Condi hurriedly ran down, but it's too far—distant water can't put out nearby fire!"
"Ryze is locked under the tower by the Clockwork and can't come out, but Leg Brother has TP—should we try to save him?!"
"This position isn't easy to save!"
Liang Yan rushed out from the path before the blue side's lower tower; Xiao Duan flashed up with a bind, locking Ben's female gun in place; Sima Laozei decisively followed up with flash and damage.
"Mystic reacted extremely fast, turning back and firing an arrow that stunned Xiao Duan!"
"Ben knew he was going to die, so he unleashed a hail of gunfire and kept firing—hahaha! Xiao Duan's health dropped like a faucet turned on full blast!"
"Sima Laozei healed a little, but his low level meant too little heal; Xiao Duan was almost instantly killed—Mystic took his head!"
"But at the same time Mystic was also bound by the delayed effect of the Corrupting Chains!"
"Jiao Shen calmly threw a flag but didn't follow up with a strike!"
"Jes's single shot hit both Sima Laozei and took Ben's head!"
"Jiao Shen's Dragon Strike knocked Mystic airborne!"
"VG wanted to kill two!"
"The fragile frost‑type couldn't withstand the three‑person focus fire—its health instantly hit bottom!"
"Jiao Shen's basic attack snagged the kill!"
"One for two, VG came out ahead! Plus they can try to take down a tower!"
"Mid and jungle finally arrived!"
At that moment, the grass behind VG's team lit up with the blue side's teleport glow.
"Oh?! Leg Brother just TP'd, wanting to counter‑gank VG in one go!"
"Three‑on‑three, they have all their skills up and seem to have the advantage!"
"But Jes's combat power is fierce, and the Prince still has his ultimate—can WE really win this?!"
"Canceled! Leg Brother canceled his teleport!"
"Uh… well, in the end reason won over impulse—this really isn't winnable, mainly because the Prince, Jes, and Varus together have terrifying combat power, while WE lacks a marksman and thus has very little sustained damage."
"Yes, but at least we successfully stopped VG's tower‑push rhythm."
"Hmm, that's a silver lining in the bad news, but to be frank, this bottom lane… seems a bit blown up."
"Mystic did get a kill, and it was first blood—doesn't feel too bad, right?"
"But these two whole waves of minions—if you count it all, it feels like we missed three waves, plus the mid lane loss, making it even more."
"Eh… that really is a bit blown up."
After the teamfight replay ended, the director cut WE's internal mic so everyone could learn why 957 finally canceled his teleport.
Ben: "¥%(&&!"
Mystic: "*%*&%。"
Condi: "Go quickly on the bottom lane!"
Ben: "@¥#¥!"
Xi Ye: "Can't go, can't go!"
957: "Should I TP? Should I TP?"
Condi: "No no no, it's too far, you'll die."
Mystic: "@*¥%@#,&%¥#%&."
Ben: "I'm dead."
Mystic: "I coconut died."
Condi: "They want to destroy the tower, Leg Bro protect a bit, protect a bit!"
957: "I've sent it, I've sent it!"
Xi Ye: "I'm coming, I'm coming, wanna fight?"
Condi: "Don't fight, don't fight, we can't win, they're gone!"
957: "Then I won't go down."
Condi: "Cancel it, cancel it!"
Simply put, 957's TP was to protect the bottom tower; since VG retreated, 957 also cancelled it.
After being killed two people by VG, WE was unwilling; the mid and jungle players cleared the minion wave in front of the bottom tower and ran to mid lane; Xi Ye ulted, bringing Condi to flank behind the Clockwork, coordinating with 957 who came down on foot from the top lane for a three-on-one engage.
However, 957's disappearance from the top lane lasted too long, putting VG on alert; when Xi Ye was moving, Liang Yan happened to be lying in ambush behind the Marquis.
Xiao Duan, who had just respawned and left the base, also headed straight to mid lane.
Moreover, since WE's two players lacked hard crowd control like stuns or knock-ups, although the Clockwork was imprisoned by Ryze, it didn't stop him from using his abilities; his ultimate landed as they were getting up.
"Clockwork's ultimate pulled both of them!"
"Condi was hit by a combo, losing half his health bar, and his Leap was also interrupted!"
"Moreover, WE didn't expect Jiao Shen to be lying in ambush! Prince flashed with EQ to come up and knock both of them up! But this engagement was already a case of riding a tiger and finding it hard to dismount, 957 flashed and moved in to bind them!"
"Never mind! We just need to kill the Clockwork! Condi went down first! Big Tree slapped the Clockwork back, Xi Ye took the Marquis's head and quickly flashed to run toward our base's defense tower!"
"But Leg Bro was held by Jiala!"
