Chapter 481: Happy Game (Part 1)

Liang Yan just finished complaining about Fu Lan Duo when Condi's male gun appeared in the bottom lane.

From the minimap, the male gun rushed out from the river, and as soon as it appeared, its icon suddenly jumped a distance on the minimap.

Shortly after, the icons of VG's duo simultaneously jumped backward on the minimap.

One flash exchanged for two flashes; obviously WE came out ahead.

Liang Yan saw this and ran straight to the top lane.

No matter the arguing, if there's an advantage to be gained, Liang Yan will still go for it.

957 seemed to realize his dangerous situation and ran straight into the tower, but Nuo Shou plus Mantis is also an unreasonable combo; Fu Lan Duo outright abandoned the minion wave and diagonally cut in, eventually catching up in front of the tower, where a Ruthless Iron Hand pulled 957 out of the tower. Liang Yan jumped out from a side path, finished his EWQA combo, turned and left, while Fu Lan Duo likewise unleashed an EAWQA light-speed combo, chased and slashed the final strike, triggering Blood Rage, then turned and left the tower.

Rumble's health was under a hundred points, with five blood droplets attached; knowing he was surely doomed, he turned to chase, hoping to trade with the tower to take down Nuo Shou, but ultimately failed; Nuo Shou took two turret shots and walked away, still with over two hundred health.

Rumble's health was burned away by the bleeding effect, and with a cry he went to the Western Paradise.

Fu Lan Duo laughed hehehe in the microphone while heading back to base, utterly lewd.

Liang Yan, passing by, killed a group of Stone Armor Beetles, then also recalled to base.

Upon leaving, he continued upward; when he reached the top lane, Fu Lan Duo had already pushed past the minion wave and was fiercely attacking 957, chasing him into the tower, trying to secure the kill before Liang Yan arrived.

After finishing the final Q, Rumble's health was low, evidently about to be burned to death again.

Liang Yan flashed forward and, with an extreme-range Void Strike, shot Rumble dead, securing the kill.

"Holy shit, you!"

"Huh?"

"... You're awesome!"

"Oh."

"Kekekekeke..."

Xiao Duan let out a restrained chuckle, unaware that joy would turn to sorrow; just as he switched the camera back from the top lane, a bouncing bullet and a timed explosive already appeared at his feet.

With a bang, Xiao Duan was blown back.

At this point, Xiao Duan had no summoner spells and only half his health, surely doomed, but Sima Laozei, who had no feelings and no righteousness, followed and charged upward.

Then, as expected, the male gun rushed out from a side path.

At the crucial moment, Sima Laozei burst forth with an astonishing maneuver, actually twisting the male gun's two skills and a grenade, and managed to trade for a female gun's kill.

Oh wait, the female gun was actually killed by Zyra's plant...

Sima Laozei only got an assist, yet he was quite pleased, rare for him to chuckle.

Meanwhile, the enemy Mystic's bomb specialist secured a double kill.

At six minutes, the kill score was three to two.

Around six and a half minutes, the next tower was taken down by WE's duo; judging from the current situation, the bottom lane was basically blown apart.

That's how casual games are; Liang Yan didn't take it to heart and continued at his own relaxed pace.

Mystic's bomb specialist went home to change equipment, while Ben alone came to mid lane; the male gun appeared in the bottom lane, seemingly hoping to farm two waves while teammates were back.

Liang Yan lingered near mid lane, seized the opportunity when Xi Ye actively harassed Easyhoon to strike, landing Xi Ye's flash. Then he saw that on the top lane, 957 was destroying a true sight in the grass at the river mouth, so he signaled Fu Lan Duo.

Fu Lan Duo swept the minion wave with a massive cleave, hoisting her giant axe and rushing toward the river, urging Rumble to run to mid lane.

Liang Yan moved around to flank from above.

WE had anticipated this; the female gun, who had intended to help Xi Ye clear the lane, sprinted with Rapid March to reinforce 957, but as soon as she stepped forward, Easyhoon engaged the male blade.

When WE's top and support met in the river, Fu Lan Duo's Nuo Shou, thanks to Boots of Speed, had already caught up to Rumble, landing two axe strikes on him.

At the same time, Liang Yan jumped out from the opposing grass.

Landing, he cast QW; Fu Lan Duo cleaved down, securing her second kill on 957.

Liang Yan's W, however, was thrown at the female gun; while earlier he had caught Talon and lost considerable health, he now had only about three hundred health, and continuing to pursue risked being traded by a full-health female gun, given the opponent still had some burst potential.

So Liang Yan didn't chase, cast a W, and turned back to eat river crabs.

Fu Lan Duo, however, relentlessly pursued, using the high movement speed of Boots of Speed to finally catch up upon entering the F6 bush; she unleashed a massive cleave, applying five blood droplets to the female gun, then immediately cast her ultimate to cleave down, causing the female gun's health bar to halve instantly; she activated Rapid March for a brief speed boost, though the bleeding effect soon interrupted it, yet the female gun still opened some distance.

Fu Lan Duo ran a few more steps before catching up, then applied a W to slow the target and pursued with basic attacks.

However, by then the female gun had entered the tower; although her health was just over three hundred while Nuo Shou had over eight hundred, Nuo Shou lacked skills and could only deal damage with basic attacks; even if he triggered Blood Rage and added bleeding, he would need at least three slashes to kill her, whereas the second tower's first shot already dealt over a hundred damage to Nuo Shou, with each subsequent shot increasing in damage.

In the end, Liang Yan failed to secure that second assist; the female gun, with an AQ combo, combined with the tower's third shot, instantly killed the three-hundred-health Nuo Shou.

"Damn!"

Fu Lan Duo laughed and cursed into the microphone.

At the same time, word came from Easyhoon's side that he had solo-killed Xi Ye.

Shortly after, a report came from the bottom lane that Sima Laozei and Xiao Duan teamed up to kill Condi's male gun, which had been trying to sneak in and take out the support.

Sima Laozei got the kill, making his day a bit better.

The kill tally was rewritten as six to three.

Liang Yan returned to his half of the jungle, cleared a round, then went back to base; a kill and two assists greatly accelerated his progression, and upon arriving home he directly crafted a tier-three jungle knife.

Heading out downward, after clearing a round he and Xiao Duan went into the river to ward, then proceeded mid, preparing to ambush the male blade again.

Xiao Duan, however, was a bit flirtatious, going to tease the male gun, but unexpectedly a female gun with swift footwork sprang from behind the male gun, and behind her followed a bomb specialist; startled, he turned and fled.

Liang Yan and Easyhoon hurried to the river to respond, while Sima Laozei was far away at the lower second tower, too distant to help.

Although VG's side looked better equipped, they were nonetheless short a player, and Xiao Duan's development was poor—he hadn't reached level six yet, lacking an ultimate compared to the enemy support.

Liang Yan didn't want to fight, saying "withdraw, withdraw, withdraw," while marking the path of the encircling male blade.

Xiao Duan misheard, thinking he said "this this this," and shouted "I'll cover the retreat!" before turning, tossing a few skills, and flashing through the wall to run.

Easyhoon, however, believed his nonsense and ran toward the direction the male blade was coming; upon realizing Xiao Duan had decisively retreated without hesitation, it was already too late to flee, knowing he couldn't escape, he turned back and charged at the three of them, hoping to deal some damage.

Liang Yan simply tossed a W from the side to give support, watching Easyhoon get instantly killed.

The good news is that Easyhoon died quickly, so even Xi Ye didn't get an assist.

Xi Ye was unwilling, climbed over the wall and chased after Liang Yan.
