Chapter 1027: Two Near-Deaths Without Rescue: What's the Use of Hiding a Skill?

In a near-death state, the player controlling Jie Xu Sheng stared intently at Gu Xuan.

Playing as Shen Hua Tuo, he surely wouldn't let a teammate die right under his nose, right?

Even the BOSS, Gao Sheng, was watching Gu Xuan.

"..." Gu Xuan fell silent.

It wasn't that he couldn't save him; he currently had eight 【Yuan Hua】 markers.

He could activate the 【Rebirth】 skill to restore Jie Xu Sheng's health to eight and allow him to replace his General card with any General from the Wu faction.

However,

this was clearly not worth it.

The Jie Xu Sheng player's General pool was shallow; even if he could choose any General from the Wu faction,

what powerful General could he possibly pick?

Besides, Gu Xuan hadn't forgotten that he had advised this teammate against picking Jie Xu Sheng at the start.

Yet this guy still wouldn't listen.

For such an idiot teammate, even if he were resurrected, he probably wouldn't be of much use.

Of course, Gu Xuan absolutely wasn't holding a grudge because the Jie Xu Sheng player had ignored him.

He wasn't that petty.

He reached out and tapped, canceling the rescue response before him.

After canceling the rescue response,

the progress bar for the 【Rebirth】 skill appeared, and Gu Xuan quickly canceled it.

He then shrugged at the Jie Xu Sheng player, saying:

"No choice, I can't save him."

Jie Xu Sheng:... He just saw the skill activation progress bar!

This wasn't that he couldn't save him; it was clearly that he didn't want to!

"You can save but won't, just wait to lose!"

The Jie Xu Sheng player was too furious to calm down; he snorted coldly and didn't even leave the match arena.

He wanted to stay and watch; with him dead,

only a support and a Luo Tong with two health points would remain on the field; let's see how they could win!

The Luo Tong player looked at Gu Xuan helplessly.

He didn't understand either why Gu Xuan had clearly triggered the skill but simply refused to save Jie Xu Sheng.

Was it really just because of the Jie Xu Sheng player's attitude of ignoring advice at the start?

That seemed excessive, didn't it?

Victory is the most important thing in the game; letting emotions dictate your strategy will surely lead to defeat!

However, since Gu Xuan had already canceled the skill activation, it was too late for anything he said now.

It was better to say less, to avoid the teammate being in a bad mood and sabotaging him...

The Jie Xu Sheng player in position four was eliminated.

The BOSS General, Gao Sheng, was filled with fighting spirit.

He pounded his chest forcefully with both hands and roared:

"Come on, let's fight to our hearts' content!"

"The BOSS in the Gatekeeper mode is so cheap; players actually trigger voice effects even after dying?"

"It's even worse than that; besides not initiating conversation or provoking players, if players curse at him, he curses back! I saw people exchanging curses with the BOSS in the first level!"

"The situation on the field is a mess now; the BOSS still has thirteen health points, while the big shots only have two people left, and both are critically injured."

"Actually, I think the big shot should have saved Jie Xu Sheng just now; even if Jie Xu Sheng couldn't deal extra damage, as long as he was alive, dealing a bit more damage to the BOSS per round would be better!"

"Yes, the BOSS's 【Evil Blessing】 skill is too disgusting; it's a complete nightmare for burst Generals like Da Bao and Lao Bao!"

"Stop talking nonsense, the big shot must have his reasons for doing this; besides, what's the use of saving a teammate like Da Bao in position four?"

"Before the turn started, the big shot told him to pick Zhang Yi, but he refused; he insisted on being self-righteous, and now that he's eliminated, who is to blame?"

In the match arena, the duel continued.

The Jie Xu Sheng player was eliminated.

The BOSS General, Gao Sheng, in position one had also ended his turn.

At this moment, it was Gu Xuan's turn in position two once again.

"Life has no nobility or baseness; all must be treated equally!"

After drawing his cards, Gu Xuan used the 【Gui Yuan】 skill again.

The Luo Tong player looked at the prompt to give peaches before him.

His face darkened.

Give peaches? He couldn't even draw any peaches now!

He had no peaches in his hand either.

His own health wasn't even full at two points.

What was the use of this Shen Hua Tuo?

He was either asking for peaches or on his way to asking for peaches!

He hadn't added a single point of health to any teammate throughout the entire game.

Not even as good as a standard Hua Tuo!

The Luo Tong player's forehead veins bulged,

glaring at Gu Xuan with a hostile expression.

The latter guiltily looked away.

He hadn't known this round would be so miserable for Luo Tong; every Peach he drew was from outside his turn,

and before he could use it, the other had snatched it away with his skill.

Gu Xuan awkwardly rubbed his nose.

Seeing the Luo Tong player's current, furious state,

he could only speak up:

"Calm down, calm down. With me here, we can still win this round."

The player of the eliminated Jie Xu Sheng, hearing Gu Xuan's words,

couldn't help but retort:

"This round is losing fast precisely because of you!"

If Gu Xuan had picked a proper Hua Tuo,

how would he have ended up so miserable?
