Chapter 395: Confidence and Arrogance

Liang Yan's mantis entered the river, scouting toward the opposite bank, saw Mang Seng standing on the slope below F6, so he shrank back, hid in the river grass, and sent a signal over.

Marquis, come a bit closer; Luxuanjun is also coming over; let's place a ward.

Who will place the ward?

You.

Oh.

Fu Lan Duo didn't object; he is a Qing Gang Ying, as long as he avoids fighting the crocodile before level 3 and keeps his level 2 skill points, the enemy mid/top can hardly kill him; after level 3 his items are off cooldown, so having him place the ward at the start is most suitable.

The three grouped up and drove Mang Seng away from the enemy jungle entrance, placed a ward in front of the F6 camp, then quickly retreated to the river before the crocodile and Syndra could surround them.

On the bottom lane side, Gangzi and Xiao Duan cautiously retreated under the tower to avoid being poked down by the enemy's two long-range champions.

After returning to his own jungle, Liang Yan circled to the bottom lane side and, with the help of the duo, started clearing from the red buff.

The bottom lane matchup is inherently disadvantaged, so they were destined to lose the wave; helping to invade the jungle wouldn't cause any loss.

The WE duo waited at the front of the side grass for a while; seeing the VG duo not show up, knowing they couldn't gain an advantage, they came out of the grass and moved up to meet the wave early.

The VG jungle trio lacked the ability to dive at level 2, so the WE duo pushed the lane without fear; the clear speed of Jinx plus Karma was second only to Varus plus Jinx in the current patch, and before the second wave arrived they sent the minion wave into the tower.

Liang Yan ignored the bottom lane, after clearing the red buff he went up, cleared the three jungle camps in the upper half in order, then immediately headed back to the bottom lane, crossed horizontally in front of his own mid tower, placed a ward over the wall into his own F6, and it just revealed Mang Seng.

Condi had been repeatedly killed by Liang Yan's F6 wards before; guessing Liang Yan would start from the bottom lane and go up this time, he wanted to get even.

But he didn't expect Liang Yan to avoid the river crab and instead come straight down.

"WE has lane priority in mid, but Ahri is right next to them!"

"Dare to eat it, Condi? If Ahri steps over and chains, it's possible to flash!"

"Never mind, never mind; Condi thought better of it—our mid jungle is so strong with plenty of opportunities, no need to take that risk."

"Eh, actually I think he can be a bit more confident."

"Confident about what?"

"His mechanics."

"Uh, trying to outplay Jiao Shen in mechanics isn't confidence."

"What is it called then?"

"I think it should be called arrogance."

"Okay, Coach Joker is a professional; we'll listen to him."

Condi didn't even catch a single bird; as soon as the ward's trinket revealed him, he fled straight toward the bottom lane.

"Shall we catch a wave down there while we're at it?"

"That's impossible; the VG duo is already meeting the wave under the tower, and Condi is visible heading down, so they clearly can't catch the bottom lane."

"Then why is he going this way?"

"I think he's going for an Explosive Fruit."

Sure enough, after Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Condi went behind the dragon pit, used the Explosive Fruit to bounce himself into the pit, cleared the river crab, then recalled in place.

Liang Yan cleared the jungle completely, didn't recall, and instead followed the small path downward to probe.

Condi had just run down from high ground; the two jungle camps in the upper half hadn't moved yet, he pinged the blue side's Stone Armor Beetle camp to mark the mantis's jungle progress and warned the bottom lane to be careful.

The WE duo just pushed the new wave forward; at the same time, the blue side's minion wave arrived at the tower.

The two minion waves clashed; Ben's Karma ran toward the triangular grass brush to place a safety ward, but after only two steps, the originally retreating Bu Long suddenly reversed, leapt onto a minion, and threw an ice projectile forward.

At the same time, Karma saw the mantis emerging from the lane entrance.

Mystic's reaction was a bit exaggerated; in the instant Bu Long raised his hand, he caught a glimpse of the mantis out of the corner of his eye and immediately flashed without hesitation.

"Can kill, chase!"

Liang Yan's judgment came through the headset.

Xiao Duan's killing intent was set; he decisively flashed and applied Weakness, successfully catching up before Karma's dog chain could snare him, and landed a light punch on Jinx's back.

"Bu Long flashed and threw a punch, insisting on the kill!"

"Jiao Shen flashed over the wall, followed up with a Leap Strike, instantly crossing over a thousand yards to join the fight!"

"Shuijing Ge also jumped in!"

"Ben applied Weakness the instant Jiao Shen landed!"

"Mystic, despite Bu Long's Weakness, tried to speed up a secret shot with healing, but it was useless—Bu Long's passive was already on him, and in the end he was still hit by Ezreal's basic attack triggering the passive; Mystic was stunned in place."

"Although Weakness greatly reduced the mantis's burst, it was still three people focusing on one, and Mystic had no flash left!"

"Ben knew he couldn't be saved, so he slapped a shield on himself and ran down toward the tower!"

"Jiao Shen secured the first blood!"

"Huh?! Look top lane, look top lane!"

Just as the bottom lane fight erupted, the top lane also started fighting.

"It seems Sheng Qiang Ge, rushing to push the lane, got bitten by the crocodile's red anger W! He's down to only two hundred health, very dangerous!"

"The crocodile's first E went through to Camille's back!"

"Camille has only a little over a hundred health left!"

"Why not flash, Sheng Qiang Ge? Oh, his passive is ready—he stabbed the crocodile once, granting an adaptive shield that just offset the damage from one of the crocodile's Qs!"

"Does Tui Ge still have a second E? It seems not— that was his second E just now!"

"Qing Gang Ying is trying to hook the wall to escape!"

"Tui Ge flashed to block it, and he blocked it!"

"But he himself got stunned as well!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge followed up with a tactical outer sweep, scraping back a bit of health!"

"His health is still only one hundred forty-seven, but he's already opened up a gap and Tui Ge has no ability to catch him!"

"Wow, Sheng Qiang Ge!"

"He didn't even dodge and just ran!"

"He's really skilled and bold!"

"Wait! Condi is coming from Ye Qu, oh!"

"But without vision, can you guess the position?!"

"Sheng Qiang Ge is returning to base! Three! Two! Condi eye-pokes and kicks! Hits! A two-stage Q kick comes over and directly takes Sheng Qiang Ge's head!"

"Goodness, Condi! Do you also want to be Jiao Shen?"

"Sheng Qiang Ge is probably browsing Taobao, browsing and browsing, huh? How did the screen go black?"

"But even if he wasn't browsing Taobao, getting hit by that wave is already a dead situation; mainly it was carelessness, he shouldn't have returned to base at that position."

"But it's indeed funny, you know? The shopping cart is full, just about to scan and pay, but when I opened my phone, there was no signal!"

"Hahaha..."

"The director switched to Fu Lan Duo's camera feed; her clueless close-up appeared on the big screen, obviously having been hit by what Guan Zeyuan said, and she was browsing Taobao before she died."

"The audience burst into laughter, and the whole venue was filled with a cheerful atmosphere."

"......"

"Happy Spring Festival!"
