Chapter 662

M17 team voice channel.

He has three people helping him clear the jungle, so he's definitely faster than me...

Damn, the enemy jungler's internal status is way too high.

If he joined our team, he could also have a very high status, even higher.

What do you mean? Lin Jingjia heard that, Apex—you look down on our jungler, right? Later Jingjia Ge won't help you.

Just kidding, hahaha.

M17 jungler Taizan, whose real name is Lin Jingjia, fell silent again.

He felt a surge of imbalance.

But at the same time he clearly realized that, whether in skill or worth, VG's jungler was definitely far above him—several stories higher.

So the teammates weren't wrong; if Firrrrrre were willing to join M17, his internal status would likewise be very high...

No, actually, from a purely rational perspective, if Firrrrrre truly wanted to join M17, there's no doubt that the team willing to spend that much money to poach him would surely be aiming for the world championship.

In other words, any LMS team owner who could snag Firrrrrre would definitely rebuild the squad around him as the core.

Put another way, if Firrrrrre came, they'd all be replaced.

Thinking of that, Taizan's mindset instantly cracked a bit.

At 2:27, Liang Yan finished the blue buff, reached level three, entered the river just as the river crab respawned. On the top lane, Renekton saw Liang Yan in the upper area, so to avoid being caught he didn't push the lane—instead he started pulling it. Seeing this, Liang Yan didn't bother with top lane either; after eating the river crab he returned to the upper jungle, cleared the remaining two monster groups, then turned and headed down.

Easyhoon could now perfectly adapt to Liang Yan's pace; when Liang Yan walked past behind mid lane, Easyhoon happened to push a wave to the enemy tower.

Just as this minion wave had only two low-health ranged minions left, Apex's Katarina suddenly stepped in; Easyhoon sidestepped, easily dodged the enemy's thrown chain, caught a glimpse of the excavator digging out from the shadow of a small path in the upper-left of the vision, Easyhoon calmly turned and ran down the river, simultaneously pinging.

Liang Yan glanced at Easyhoon's position, saw he was safe, so he didn't change his route, only pressed Tab to check the enemy jungler's items and clear status, discovering the enemy had fifteen last hits.

Level three, fifteen last hits—the excavator's jungle route became obvious.

Blue buff, one hit;

Three wolves, three hits;

Red buff, one hit;

Still needing ten hits.

The upper river crab had been eaten by Liang Yan; the excavator appeared from the upper area with red buff, so clearly the lower river crab hadn't spawned yet, and F6 plus the Magic Swamp Frog together only gave seven hits—doesn't add up.

So the only possibility is that Rek'Sai's F6 and the Magic Swamp Frog haven't been cleared yet, but he ate the Stone Armor Beetle, since a pair of split Stone Armor Beetles provides exactly ten last hits.

Liang Yan didn't hesitate, went straight into the river heading down, and pinged the Stone Armor Beetle camp in the enemy's lower jungle.

"OK, I'm fine, no need to recall for now."

Easyhoon read Liang Yan's intent from a single ping and immediately responded. After the enemy Katarina's chain missed, the excavator's gank naturally came to nothing; he had already vanished from VG's vision, presumably heading back to clear the F6 behind mid lane.

"Whoa, Jiao Shen snatched this timing perfectly!"

"Rek'Sai just happened to have one Magic Swamp Frog left uncleared, so it ended up benefiting Jiao Shen!"

"But the bottom lane just happened to be a M17 counter‑push wave; if spotted, this would still be a bit risky."

Guan Zeyuan had just finished saying this when perhaps M17 noticed something, and Ice suddenly fired an arrow from Xia Lu, lighting up our Ye Qu.

M17 saw the spider that was stealing our jungle.

Taizan, who had just finished clearing F6 and was running down, instantly lost his cool: "Shut up! Stop stealing my jungle! Come down lane and kill him!"

Support Dreamer glanced at the Ye Qu, saw the spider was about to finish off the Magic Swamp Frog and flee, felt it didn't look like he could kill the spider, and hesitated:

"He's leaving, can't catch him, right?"

Taizan, furious, shouted loudly: "Come over quick!"

Dreamer sighed, knowing he couldn't catch the spider but, not wanting to offend the jungler, had no choice but to go support.

However, as expected, when he arrived near the dragon pit, the spider had already come out of the Ye Qu and was even going to eat another river crab.

Taizan had just entered the river from Zhong Lu, seeing this his anger flared even more. At this moment, this jungler from the LMS region seemed to incarnate the Howling Heavenly Venerable:

"Don't let him eat it!"

Dreamer knew his own jungler brother had already lost his cool, feeling utterly helpless:

"Don't rush, rushing won't help—ah, I can fly or what?"

Tam can fly, but a level 3 Tam cannot.

When Dreamer finally arrived near the spider, the fragile level‑1 river crab had already been killed in one bite by the spider; Dreamer, doing his best, flicked his tongue at the spider, but the spider easily dodged by wiggling its butt.

Watching the eight‑legged spider crawl into the dragon pit, Taizan was overjoyed and again shouted loudly in M17's team channel.

Dreamer instead gave up the chase, turned and walked toward the lane, meanwhile feeling helpless; seeing Taizan still not realizing, he had no choice but to place a signal behind the dragon pit.

"There are two fruits here; he flew up to them in an instant and now we can't catch them."

Taizan blinked: "Can fruits also fly?"

Dreamer didn't even want to answer, leaving his own jungler speechless.

Damn it, are you the jungler or am I the jungler? How come I, a support, know the jungler champion's skill mechanics better than you do?

As expected, when Taizan reached the dragon pit's entrance and gained vision inside, he saw the spider that had already climbed to the bottom of the dragon pit suddenly take off into the air.

And it never came down again.

Obviously, the spider used its W skill to go through the wall.

In the small path of the blue team's jungle behind the dragon pit there are two fruits, one Explosive Fruit and one Scout Fruit; the spider's likely target for its boost is the Scout Fruit, because right after a dazzling, large‑area magical wind blew down from the jungle.

The magical wind lit up most of the lower river and the red team's lower jungle, and also lit up Taizan's face, which had turned livid before the screen.
