Chapter 688: Sound the East, Strike the West!

~6 min read 1,127 words

Jiao Shen squatted below the riverbank wall, it seemed he had anticipated SKT's secret operation and wanted to lurk to ambush SKT's support, but there was no vision above, and Pig Sis couldn't use ground listening like Rek'Sai to determine Wolf's exact position... Ah but I have Sima Laozei!

Arrow incoming!!

Wolf's position is exposed!!

Jiao Shen charged straight up!!

The scene burst into a huge exclamation with a boom.

Ah! Damn it!

Wolf let out a startled cry, and upon seeing the pig head, instinctively flung a massive ship anchor toward the C-type wall of the F6 base, attempting to use Titan's Q skill to clear the lane and counter Sejuani's Pig Stomp charge control.

However, it's unfortunate; if this were Wolf from the S5 season, with his reaction speed back then, this move would have been impressive, but two years later Wolf's reaction speed is far worse, and his hook speed is slower by a beat.

Duang!

Wolf is in pain, panicking!

Xiang He brother, save me!

Wolf screamed into the microphone. He is only a level-three Titan, while Pig Sis, although a meat tank, has had her abilities' base values tuned especially high to give meat tanks some dueling potential! So meat tanks are high damage early, hardy late. If no one comes to help, Wolf will definitely be killed solo by Pig Sis after losing his hook.

When Wolf first called for help, Faker actually refused. In fact, when the Titan's position was revealed by the ice archer, Faker switched over to take a look, naturally seeing Pig Sis move, but he pretended not to see, because he wanted Wolf to draw everyone's attention first, then when Syndra went to support there and exposed a weakness, he would team up with Xiao Huasheng to catch Syndra, employing the 'besiege Wei to rescue Zhao' strategy.

But when he switched over again to look, Wolf's health had dropped below half, and he looked like he couldn't hold on much longer!

Faker felt surprised, is Pig Sis's damage really that high?

No time to think, Faker immediately unleashed his newly pointed ultimate, stomping along with a rumbling roar as he charged toward Wolf. However, before he could even land, Sejuani's second Pig Stomp, now cooled off, gave up chasing the Titan with only one-third health left and suddenly turned to bumper-ram Faker!

Duang!

Faker was bumped off the train head by the pig's snout, also in pain and a bit panicked!

Because at this moment he realized he had made a fatal mistake—when Rock Sparrow ults, it doesn't have the unstoppable property like Kled's charge, but can be pulled down by crowd control! And an even more deadly mistake was that he ulted to support without realizing he had actually been caught in a pincer by Pig Sis and Syndra!

What a perfect 'Sound the East, Strike the West'!!

In just a few tenths of a second, Faker realized that he himself was the true target the enemy wanted to kill, and he had fallen into immense danger!

And Peanut's Rek'Sai is still over two thousand yards away; without flashing, I'm likely to die here……

Having thought it all through, Faker forced himself to calm down, quickly made a resolute decision in his mind, and calmly commanded:

"Don't worry about me, don't worry about me, you hurry and go!"

"Xiang He brother..."

"Go!"

Seeing Faker land, as he lifted a Rock Strike toward Pig Sis, it was surprisingly twisted aside by the enemy's godlike positioning; Wolf dared not say another word, without hesitation he ran toward the middle second tower.

As expected, when Rek'Sai finally entered combat range, Faker had already been hit by Pig Sis for half a health bar; due to her slow, his movement speed was greatly reduced, making him unable to dodge skills, and then he was knocked back by Syndra's 'Weakness Dispel' from across the river, stunning him on the C-type wall of F6; Syndra unleashed her full combo, and Faker gave up his life.

"Nice!!!"

In the LPL broadcast room, Miller shouted excitedly,

"After giving up first blood early on, Jiao Shen quickly used a clever ambush to strike back, helping the Marquis secure Faker's head!"

Guan Zeyuan laughed: "Beautiful, this kill of Faker really boosted morale!"

"Not over yet, Jiao Shen still has a big move!" Long Mao said with a hint of fear, "After killing Faker, those two showed no hesitation and headed straight to the top lane, apparently hoping to snag another kill!"

After helping Easyhoon take Faker's head, Liang Yan didn't even glance at the distant Titan or the nearby Rek'Sai, simply turned and left SKT's jungle; Easyhoon mirrored his action, but once the two left SKT's sight, they suddenly turned together and ran up!

On the top lane, Huni had earlier taken advantage of Xiao Huasheng coming to help clear the lane, built up a minion wave advantage, pushed the wave to the enemy tower, then planned to recall to buy items; when Faker was killed in the lower half, Huni had already retreated to the side grass and pressed recall.

Halfway through the recall channel, Huni saw Jax smash the last tower-side minion with a single strike and charge toward him. Huni's heart jumped, realizing he might be in danger; he decisively canceled recall and ran toward the tower, simultaneously pinging Jax's abnormal movement to signal the jungler to look.

Peanut instantly switched screens; seeing Jax interrupt Huni's recall and still relentlessly chase, Peanut realized the opponent wasn't just trying to scare Huni to delay his recall, but had killing intent!

"Run fast, run fast, I'm coming right away!"

Peanut didn't even want the jungle monsters he was farming, and immediately set off toward the top lane.

Huni ran straight toward his own defensive tower, his heart slightly calming.

But soon, Huni's heart sank halfway—when he returned to the protective range of his defensive tower, hid in a tower crevice preparing to press recall, VG's mid-jungle burst out from the triangular grass thicket behind him.

At the same time, Jax emerged from the mist before the tower, standing outside it, eyeing him tigerishly.

"Three-on-one! Huni is blocked!"

"Faker just revived and has no teleport! Peanut is still a hundred thousand miles away! VG has laid a heavenly net and earthly trap! Huni! How will you escape!"

Huni glanced at his jungler teammate's position; his originally handsome face wrinkled like a bitter melon: "No need to come, I think I can't get away..."

Peanut still wouldn't give up, urgently urging: "Don't give up! Hold on! You just need to last 10... no, 7 seconds! I'll be there!"

The question is, even if you get here, can you save me?

Huni's heart was filled with despair.
