Chapter 108: 45-degree spin, backhand reach! Invisible barrel! Meatball Gragas!

"Looking at the team compositions alone, this game is perfectly suited to the areas where both sides excel!" Wawa was still going on and on at the commentary desk.

"EDG relies on Gragas, Vi, and Amumu—three heavy engage champions. They will be picks that the opponent's carries will be extremely wary of in teamfights. JDG's mid-jungle duo should theoretically enjoy an advantage, and with the Kindred and Aphelios-Renata combination, if they drag it to the late game, they will definitely be much stronger than the opponent!"

Miller nodded in agreement: "Exactly. JDG should only focus on the top side in the early-to-mid game. The bot lane duo will have a harder time during the laning phase."

Summoner's Rift descended, and everyone quickly bought items and headed out.

"The second game of the series officially begins!"

As soon as they entered the game, the commentary desk was also synchronizing broadcast information with the audience.

"Player Ye is using mid-lane Gragas this game. In patch 12.11, he received double buffs to his Q and E. During the regular season, our region's Doinb, as well as Faker next door, both had records of picking him!"

Veteran commentator Wawa reminisced as he said this: "Come to think of it, Gragas as a hero was originally a mid-laner back in Season 3. I remember it wasn't until his rework in Season 5 that this hero moved into the jungle."

"Hey, look at EDG's movements!"

The commentary desk had intended to chat, but suddenly discovered something unusual about the five EDG members at level one.

The gap between the two teams' level-one teamfight compositions was not large.

EDG had the advantage of having two forms of crowd control with Gragas and Amumu, while JDG's advantage was that their composition consisted of five ranged heroes!

If they were to truly force a head-on invasion of the level-one jungle, the outcome would be anyone's guess.

JDG was in a standard "one-line snake" formation.

The top laner met the opposing top laner at the river entrance, while the mid laner stood in front of their own F6 entrance.

The jungler and the bot lane duo were guarding the two entrances to their own blue buff area respectively.

At the same time, the bot lane duos from both sides also met at the river entrance.

"You two be careful. There's no need to initiate at level one. If they want to force an entry, give up the position first, and we can fight when we get there," Kanavi commanded, watching the positions of the two bot laners.

"Hope, as long as we don't get hit by Amumu's Q, we'll just play steady and farm," Missing was still cautioning his AD.

But suddenly, there was movement from the opponent in their vision!

Vi walked out from the blue side river entrance, not caring at all about exposing her position, and headed straight down to surround them.

At the same time, the opposing bot lane duo also suddenly pressed forward!

"They seem to want to go in!"

Fortunately, the JDG bot lane duo had been keeping an eye on their spacing, as there was no reason for this combination to act tough against Kalista and Amumu.

At this point, unless Amumu flashed for a Q, the distance was still quite significant.

However, just as the two were about to step into the entrance of their own blue buff area...

A shiny, polished beer belly suddenly flew out—from behind the wall of their own jungle!

Body Slam!

"Holy sh*t! Where did he pop out from?!"

It was impossible for the two to have any defense against this angle, and they were knocked airborne head-on.

【Body Slam】 not only has a 1-second {knock-up} control but also a 225-unit {knock-back} effect.

This collision from directly behind knocked the two of them straight back.

Amumu's control range was indeed still a bit short, but with the combined distance of the knock-back and knock-up, he landed 【Bandage Toss】 on the support without pressure, following up with another 1-second stun!

A {Glacial Augment} zone rose from the ground!

At the same time, Vi from the other direction was already charging her Q to kill.

Kindred had also walked out intending to join the fight, but hesitated upon seeing the situation on the other side.

"Go, go, go! Sell me, sell me!" Missing shouted decisively.

Renata was chain-controlled for a full two seconds, with Glacial slow at her feet. Seeing Vi's fist coming, it was clear her life was over, so she didn't bother using any extra skills.

And Aphelios ran away without looking back the moment he broke free from the control.

But EDG wasn't prepared to let him go so easily.

"Renata uses Q to pull back Amumu, trying to save the AD, but Kalista is still jumping forward!"

"Rend kills Renata behind her, Kalista gets First Blood!"

"Amumu's second Q is fired in pursuit, Hope can only use Cleanse to force an escape. Wow, JDG is losing their minds!"

Chujun shouted urgently: "JDG's bot lane is finished! How are they supposed to lane now?!"

"Master Ye's Gragas infiltration! The moment I saw him pick this kind of thing, I knew they definitely had a plan!"

Everything in the vision just now was normal, including the red side's positioning, which was the most standard and necessary, without any overextension.

So how did Gragas manage to get into that position?

The answer is simple.

In fact, when heading out, he went to the lane alone from the bot side, and then, by leveraging the pressure from his own bot lane, successfully positioned himself in the red side's bot lane river bush and E'd over!

Gragas's E skill cooldown was buffed from 16 seconds to 14 seconds, and both sides reached their normal positions at around 0:30.

They were ready to act at 0:45.

And in fact, when Gragas went up, the JDG bot lane duo had just walked out from a jungle path not far away—it's just that it was a "false blind spot in vision"!

Ye Bo howled excitedly: "Meatball Gragas!"

"Nice belly, Master Ye!" Meiko gave a timely thumbs up.

"I'm truly invincible now," Viper said happily, using a popular slang term.

This design was "inspiration" Ye Bo gained from watching match replays when he wanted to practice Gragas before.

After all, Gragas is a niche mid-laner. If Ye Bo wanted to practice, he naturally had to look for match replays where the hero was used in the new patch.

And in one of them, T1 also had a level-one design when Faker picked Gragas.

It's just that in that game, they were on the red side and chose to initiate an attack on the top lane.

And in that play, Li Guapi pulled off an ultimate "feeding" move; despite successfully infiltrating and flanking, he ended up "missing a point-blank E," letting the opponent go for nothing...

But although it didn't succeed, Ye Bo instantly had inspiration and made improvements.

Through experimentation, he discovered a blind spot in the bot lane bush. As long as his own bot lane was a strong combination, they could press forward immediately and obtain the positions of the opposing bot lane duo—helping Gragas complete the "Infiltration" without risk!

The reason Ye Bo could constantly come up with so many "designs" naturally couldn't just rely on flashes of inspiration out of thin air.

More of it was him spending a massive amount of time researching replay reviews, delving into the core points and keys of every design, and then "drawing inferences" by taking the essence.

Certain "instinct-based" players are probably like this too.

"Ya shibal!"

Redmi had only just sat down in the back room when he saw this turn of events, and he jumped up in a panic.

The situation for their bot lane in this game was already not optimistic.

Although Aphelios-Renata is also a popular combination in the current patch, it is well known that this combination is not for laning, but excels in the mid-to-late game as a safety net!

Aphelios is arguably the strongest main carry hero in the current patch, with terrifying instant burst AOE. The only flaw is that he is hard to keep alive, which is why Renata came into being, as her ultimate can also create synergy.

And EDG's bot lane is famously known for their laning ability, and in this game, they even got heroes specifically for laning.

And yet, they still let the opponent take First Blood!

Redmi can only pin his hopes on Kanavi now, hoping he can think of a way to break the deadlock.

Kanavi was indeed turning his brain rapidly at this moment.

"Yaogao, come with me. Let's go into our blue buff area together after leaving the base. I'm still starting blue."

"Top laner, help me ward the red buff. Support, switch to Sweeper and sweep the vision in this blue buff area."

"We can't gank bot early; a 3v3 is a guaranteed loss. It'll be much easier to fight once Taliyah hits level six. You guys must stay steady in the early game!"

Kanavi's train of thought was very clear; he chose to sacrifice his own bot lane first.

They cannot attack the enemy's strength with their own weakness. In this game, he wants to leverage his advantage in counter-jungling.

Jungle monsters respawned.

Both junglers started in the bottom half, and both bot lanes went to their lanes normally, not exposing the junglers' tracks.

But the difference was that after Kindred cleared the blue buff, he actually didn't continue to farm the Gromp as usual.

Instead, he headed toward the river!

"Kanavi seems to want to counter-jungle!"

Vi is another of Kanavi's signature heroes; he understands this hero too well.

Because Vi leveled her Q skill during the level-one teamfight.

This will at least cause Vi's jungle clearing speed to be more than 5 seconds slower than the normal level-one W, and her health will drop by at least 20% more!

Kanavi is the jungler with the highest counter-jungling stats in the Summer Split. His key characteristic words, besides jungle carry, are counter-jungling. It's impossible for him to be willing to let this opportunity pass.

Kindred dove into the Dragon Pit from the river, then jumped over the wall with a Q from the Dragon Pit, heading straight toward the opponent's F6.

There will be three outcomes for this play.

First, if the F6 are still there, it means Vi either started in the top half or started in a single jungle area while doing Krugs, in which case Kindred can directly steal the jungle.

Second, if Vi is currently doing F6, then Kindred can directly steal the jungle, because Vi's health will definitely be less healthy, and she must have already used her Q for clearing!

A 1v1 has no chance of winning, and the mid laners are also only level 1 at this time!

Third, if the F6 are gone, it means Vi started at F6, and Kindred can directly counter-jungle the red buff at level two!

Kindred and Vi are both "level-three heroes" in traditional cognition—that is, heroes that only have complete combat capability at level three.

Therefore, no one would think that Kindred would come to counter-jungle at level two, especially a Kindred that started blue.

But Kanavi just happened to combine his experience and understanding of Vi's jungle with the fact that the opponent learned a Q at level one, making this bold counter-jungling invasion!

"Kindred sneaks up from the Dragon Pit, bypassing the vision in the river bush, and hasn't been discovered!"

"Barrier is currently farming Krugs, and the efficiency isn't very high. It looks like he's going to have a set of jungle monsters stolen!"

Kanavi meticulously placed the center of his W 【Wolf's Frenzy】 zone inside the red buff pit from across the wall.

Seeing that the Wolf, which covered both jungle areas simultaneously, didn't go around the wall to "automatically seek enemies," he easily judged that the red buff had already been taken, which also instantly informed Kanavi of Vi's whereabouts.

Vi must level W at level two; without the E skill, her speed at clearing Krugs will also be slower!

While Kindred shot at the F6 to attract aggro, pulling them into the Wolf's zone so as not to lose damage, he informed his teammates: "Vi is at Krugs, level two. She likely can't gank bot."

After taking the F6, Kindred snuck behind the mid lane, wanting to touch Gragas on the way.

But fortunately, Gragas learned the E skill at level one. He couldn't push the lane anyway, and Ye Bo naturally couldn't use E to last-hit.

Seeing someone behind him, although a bit surprised, he just slid directly under the tower with one E.

"Level two gank..."

Ye Bo looked at the vision in the river bush and quickly guessed that the opponent had come up from the Dragon Pit, but ganking him clearly had no meaning.

But immediately after, Barrier's shout came.

"Damn! F6 were stolen!"

Kindred's route wasn't hard to guess, but Vi had no way out.

Because the two sides' jungle clearing routes were opposite, Kindred's blue buff area only had two sets of jungle monsters. Vi couldn't run to the opponent's blue buff area to trade now; she almost had to swallow this bitter pill.

After all, Ye Bo isn't a jungler; it's impossible for him to have a deep study of jungle strategies, so it's not good to make a definitive judgment or command rashly at this time. 【114】 Barrier headed to his top half, cautiously placing a defensive ward in the bush at the entrance of the blue buff area, and only then Q'd into the blue pit to start the blue buff. 【115】 But this cautious ward still exposed him. 【116】 Because Kindred, who was currently doing his own F6, had also specifically detoured here earlier to place a ward. 【117】 Why didn't Kindred's ward go directly into the blue buff pit? 【118】 The reason is simple—because Kindred wanted to use this ward to confirm Vi's ward information! 【119】 "Kindred finishes killing the F6 and hits level three, not even clearing the small birds! He's going to the blue buff area to find Vi again!" 【120】 "Because he knows there is vision in that bush, Kindred hugs the river wall and successfully bypasses the vision, entering from the top entrance!" 【121】 "Kanavi's jungle invasion intent in this game is extremely strong!" 【122】 Kindred walked into the jungle and saw that the pit was empty, but there were still jungle monster markers on the mini-map, instantly knowing Vi's location. 【123】 Because he knew Vi was only level two and her condition definitely wouldn't be good, Kindred pressed forward unscrupulously. 【124】 "Shengqiang Ge, come protect the jungle!" Ye Bo abandoned the minion wave and moved out immediately. 【125】 Kanavi issued a command almost at the same time: "You guys follow! They can't win this 3v3!" 【126】 The two sides gathered almost simultaneously. 【127】 Barrier was calm and composed, with eyes only for the blue buff. He didn't make any cowardly moves, ignoring Kindred coming toward the bush and burying his head in smashing the blue buff. 【128】 Kindred walked into the bush, saw the low-health blue buff and Vi, and also ignored the blue buff, directly drawing his bow to shoot at Vi! 【129】 Barrier steadily used Smite to take the blue buff, hitting level three. 【130】 He instantly leveled E, turned his head to throw a punch to trigger his passive shield, and then decisively flashed to the side to escape. 【131】 "Barrier steals the jungle monster and hits level three!" Jide shouted urgently: "But Vi's condition is too poor, she directly chooses to flash and run away. Kindred pursues relentlessly, hanging the E skill for continuous pursuit. Just a little bit more!" 【132】 "Wow, fortunately Kindred doesn't have the red buff. Vi uses the refreshed dash punch over the wall and barely escapes!" Wawa was relieved. 【133】 But his partner Miller thought the situation was not optimistic: "She ran, she ran, but Kindred still has Flash. Now the entire top jungle area has to be handed over, plus the set of F6 stolen in the bottom half, this Barrier is equivalent to losing an entire jungle area!" 【134】 "If the jungle opening is at a disadvantage, it will be infinitely magnified!" 【135】 The facts were indeed so. 【136】 Although Kindred lacked some damage and pursuit capability due to not having the red buff. 【137】 But in fact, as long as Vi was beaten to low health and driven away, the effect had already been achieved. 【138】 Even if the opponent's mid and top laners came to support, the conditions of the two junglers were worlds apart; no matter how you looked at it, it was very difficult to defend this jungle area. 【139】 And with this, after Vi heads out again, she will face the awkward situation of having no jungle monsters to farm in either of her own jungle areas! 【140】 If Kindred can create such a jungle advantage in 3 minutes, he can almost dominate the top half for the rest of the time, thereby taking over the laning advantage in mid and top, making the two sides' offensives reach a balance, or even surpass them! 【141】 Ye Bo clearly saw the subsequent chain reaction, which is why he still didn't want to hand it over like this, even knowing it was hard to fight. 【142】 He quickly analyzed the situation. 【143】 "Barrier, don't go back yet. We have to try to defend this jungle area." 【144】 "Our mid and top minion waves are both fine. Try to beat Kindred to low health or trade him out as much as possible. I'll find an opportunity." 【145】 Barrier, who was recalling at the second tower, canceled the recall immediately upon hearing this, drank a potion, and the red buff's buff was also accelerating his health recovery. 【146】 Kanavi, who had turned to start farming the Gromp, suddenly saw that the Gragas hadn't returned in the vision at the entrance, and immediately stopped his hand to command the mid and top laners. 【147】 "They seem to want to come again!" 【148】 "You guys come protect me and eat this jungle area. If we eat Vi, this game is unplayable. I'll be able to play on top of his head later!" 【149】 Kindred stopped and retreated to the entrance of the blue buff area, waiting for his own mid and top teammates to get into position before pressing forward again. 【150】 "Neither side wants to give up the fight for this jungle area! This jungle defense war seems to be about to break out into a 3v3!" 【151】 "But the EDG jungler's condition is too poor, unless they can coordinate an initiation to instantly kill one... but with the Taliyah stone field's deterrence, Gragas, Jayce, and Vi, all three are very hard to initiate!" 【152】 The two sides were in a slight stalemate. 【153】 Gragas stood alone near the blue buff bush, while Jayce and Vi were positioned to the side and behind. 【154】 JDG's top and mid minion waves were both pushing back, creating pressure. 【155】 But everyone also saw Gragas's restless movements. 【156】 The only threat the opponent had left was Gragas's E-Flash initiation, which could potentially cause a loss of personnel, but as long as Gragas's E could be forced out, they could completely win without a fight! 【157】 "Vi is charging Q! Yaogao, Taliyah stone field!" 【158】 "69, you come with me and directly dry Gragas!" 【159】 Kanavi, with a clear train of thought, seized the opportunity. Seeing Vi charging Q and not retreating but advancing, he directly stepped forward with QW and threw out his E skill, hanging it on Gragas and causing a high amount of slow! 【160】 Little Gnar jumped over from behind, throwing a boomerang at Gragas. 【161】 At the same time, Taliyah followed up with Threaded Volley and directly spread out 【Unraveled Earth】—placing it right under the feet of the three friendly teammates! 【162】 This was undoubtedly an extremely smart response. 【163】 Gragas's close-range E-Flash had no reaction time, and Taliyah's Unraveled Earth couldn't be placed afterward. 【164】 This is also why the three of them hadn't dared to move forward just now; they couldn't give Gragas a position for E-Flash. 【165】 And at this moment, seeing Vi charging Q, the opponent had already initiated, so Taliyah directly used Unraveled Earth to protect her teammates, while also covering the area in front of Gragas. 【166】 With Unraveled Earth protecting his feet, Gragas couldn't turn back and E! 【167】 Gragas pulled back while enduring the slow, turned on W to chug a mouthful of Erguotou, and added a {damage reduction} state. 【168】 Kindred's three-ring mark had already been triggered twice. 【169】 Kanavi was extremely cautious. Seeing Vi charging behind, he kept an eye on the range of the Unraveled Earth at his feet during the pursuit, not letting himself exceed the protection distance, while simultaneously clutching his Flash. 【170】 As long as Gragas used his E skill to escape, Vi and Jayce would never be able to kill him. 【171】 A Flash to pull away might even lead to a full kill! 【172】 Gragas seemed to finally be unable to resist. 【173】 Just before Kindred was about to fire the last part of his E, he slammed his big belly toward the back, preparing to jump over the wall and escape. 【174】 "It's okay, don't pursue! Forcing out the E is..." 【175】 "Holy!!! Sh*t!!!" 【176】 The three JDG members had just wanted to shout, and then they saw a shocking scene. 【177】 I saw that the belly, which clearly looked like it was slamming in the opposite direction and diving straight into the bush—actually appeared before their eyes in the next moment! 【178】 Gragas, with an incredibly bizarre "backhand reach" motion, EQ-spun and slammed in. 【179】 "45° Backhand E-Flash"! 【180】 If it were a normal E-Flash, not to mention Gragas himself stepping into the Unraveled Earth, he would also have knocked the three of them back, making them even deeper into the protection of the Unraveled Earth. 【181】 Jayce and Vi would be unable to join the battlefield immediately, and thus unable to instantly kill Kindred, who had the unhealthiest health. 【182】 This is also why the three dared to pursue; they were relying on the Unraveled Earth, feeling secure. 【183】 But Gragas's belly, with its strange angle, not only knocked the three of them airborne for 1 second at this moment—it actually knocked them "outward" by 225 units in the opposite direction! 【184】 This caused the three of them to "stack-fly" to the edge of the Unraveled Earth. 【185】 Jayce immediately Q-E-W-R-Q-W-E'd, face-rolling the keyboard! 【186】 Vi even more fearlessly charged her fist, aiming at Kindred's sharp head! 【187】 Gragas detonated the damage-boosting explosive barrel he had planted during the EQ. 【188】 The AOE of the three people was instantly maxed out! 【189】 The instant burst of these three heroes needs no words. Without the protection of the Unraveled Earth, Kindred, who was being focused alone and wasn't at full health to begin with, almost instantly fell to the ground. 【190】 He didn't even survive the 1-second knock-up time! 【191】 "Shibal, what is this!" Kanavi, who was anxious, blurted out in his mother tongue. 【192】 "Trade Vi! Trade Vi!" 【193】 Amidst Kanavi's urgent shouts, the freed Taliyah used a limit-range Seismic Shove to pull her back, and Gnar followed up with a boomerang, successfully killing Vi. 【194】 But the full skills of Jayce, Vi, and Gragas were basically all AOE. 【195】 And the opponent's Kindred was instantly killed, while Taliyah's early damage wasn't high to begin with. 【196】 Just from that set of three slams, the remaining two JDG members' health was even lower! 【197】 The two who finished killing Vi could only quickly cover each other and flee in a panic. Gnar even had to give up an extra Flash because he had used his E to enter the fight first and was stuck! 【198】 EDG, having achieved their goal, was already satisfied. 【199】 "Wow, wow, wow, EDG actually won this jungle defense war! They directly resolved the crisis in the jungle!" Wawa's expression was spirited. 【200】 "Although it looks like a 1-for-1, Vi didn't lose the jungle monsters in the top half, and JDG's mid and top laners also lost minion waves. It can even be said that they won back the loss in the jungle all at once!" 【201】 Jide was still thinking about the scene just now in his mind: "Gragas... how did he bypass the Unraveled Earth to control the three of them, and at the same time knock the three of them out of the range of the Unraveled Earth! Simply the key man!" 【202】 "Let's look at the replay!" 【203】 More details appeared in the replay. 【204】 After Taliyah's rework, the "length" of Unraveled Earth increased, but the "width" decreased significantly. 【205】 Ye Bo understood Taliyah too well. 【206】 Gragas had specifically stood on one side of the blue buff earlier, while the other two stood at the crossroads on the left, directly causing Unraveled Earth to only be able to aim in one direction, giving the two teammates below space to follow up. 【207】 Although Vi's health was low, as long as she didn't step on the Unraveled Earth and get instantly killed, it clearly didn't affect her finishing her burst damage. 【208】 【Holy sh*t, Ye's toes!】 【209】 【Turtle, belly backhand reach!】 【210】 【Master Ye's belly can turn! Damn, using his butt to slam people!】 【211】 【Well played, Beer Man, he's really kiting now!】 【212】 【It's hard to imagine that in a game where magic, gods, void energy, hextech, ninjutsu, and high-energy machinery coexist, someone's attack method is actually slamming people with their belly after getting drunk, right, Gragas?】 【213】 【That Gragas played like a god! Looking at the other side (】 【214】 Kanavi was in a bad mood. 【215】 Everything he had meticulously arranged was actually dismantled by a wave so "easily"! 【216】 Kindred's death in this wave was equivalent to JDG's massive offensive, yet it could almost be called a total failure! 【217】 The buff Vi still got, the kills were just a trade, and the top half was defended. 【218】 Although a set of F6 was still stolen, the addition of kill experience meant it no longer affected hitting level four, and the jungle rhythm would almost not be affected. The two sides basically returned to a parallel line. 【219】 The bad news is—there are two even worse news. 【220】 "A fight also broke out in the bot lane just now!" Miller looked at the replay provided by the director. 【221】 "Determining the jungler's position, Amumu found an opportunity to force an engage and Q'd the bot lane, cooperating with Kalista's lead in items to directly force the support's Flash in one wave... The bot lane laning has already been pressed by a dozen minions, the pressure is so high!" 【222】 Wawa looked at the mid lane and said happily: "Gragas is so comfortable after this fight, he got Kindred's blue buff, happily laning!" 【223】 Jide nodded in agreement: "Indeed, although Gragas doesn't have Flash, this hero feels like as long as he holds onto the E skill, he's actually quite hard to gank!" 【224】 Why AP Gragas mid can be played. 【225】 First of all, QWER are four whole AOE skills, and all have decent AP scaling. 【226】 This means this hero possesses an extremely high ceiling for damage manufacturing capability. 【227】 And Gragas's W skill has a {damage reduction} effect, the E skill is a long-distance displacement, and the passive also has high recovery capability, so it's actually hard to get ganked in lane. 【228】 The only drawback is that the "skill stability" is very poor. 【229】 For example, it's hard for the Q skill to deal the full damage of a full "brew," it's hard for the E skill to hit naked without E-Flash, and if you naked-cast R, anyone can react to it. This is why it didn't become a mainstream playstyle. 【230】 But relying on kills and the blue buff, Gragas can unscrupulously trigger his passive 【Happy Hour】 once every 12 seconds, and each trigger can recover 50 health! 【231】 You have to know that a red potion only recovers 120 health within 15 seconds. 【232】 Taliyah's early damage is insufficient, she couldn't wear Gragas down at all, and Kindred also tried and found it really hard to find opportunities, so he could only helplessly enter a period of peaceful farming. 【233】 5 minutes. 【234】 "Barrier initiates an attack on the bot lane, cooperating with Amumu's Flash-Q to kill the support who had no Flash!" 【235】 "At the same time, Kanavi is also making a breakthrough in the top lane, tower-diving to force a kill on Jayce... but because Gnar used his Flash in the previous jungle fight, he was finally killed by Jayce's Flash-supplemented damage, successfully trading with the defensive tower!" 【236】 "Both sides have offensive and defensive moves in the top and bottom, but it's clear that JDG's bot lane is already a bit precarious!" 【237】 "If the mid and jungle can't provide support again, this is very likely to become the starting point of their collapse!" 【238】 "Come to think of it, it's still because of that jungle wave earlier. JDG's jungle confrontation rhythm was broken, leading to the failure to achieve a situation of attacking each other's top and bottom halves..." 【239】 The commentary desk analyzed the situation. 【240】 "As for the mid lane, Player Ye's Gragas bought a Lost Chapter. Hey, isn't Gragas supposed to buy Everfrost?" 【241】 The mid-lane Gragas that appeared on the field before was basically the same as the top-lane one, all using Everfrost. 【242】 But Ye Bo wasn't planning to buy it in this game. 【243】 Because in his understanding, the opponent had five ranged heroes in this game, the probability of Everfrost hitting was too low, so it was better to max out damage to deal burst damage. 【244】 And at this time, after Gragas's level rose, the situation in the mid-lane laning had already begun to reverse. 【245】 Relying on recovery and damage reduction, Taliyah's Q on Gragas really didn't hurt. 【246】 But Gragas's Q on Taliyah was a small 200! 【247】 And that was just the "instant explosion" health! 【248】 The buff to Gragas in this patch was indeed significant, and the most critical QE both received huge buffs. 【249】 The Q skill had its cooldown reduced while gaining an extra 10%-20% super-high AP scaling buff! 【250】 Now the "brewed" Rolling Barrel has a full 120% AP scaling. With just a little bit of ability power, it can deal nearly double the damage of an instant-explosion barrel. 【251】 Now a fully brewed Q barrel plus {Comet} can have nearly 400 points of panel damage! 【252】 A level 5 Taliyah only has 900 health! 【253】 Of course~ 【254】 As long as you aren't an idiot, it's impossible to get hit by a fully brewed Q. 【255】 "Yaogao, how long until you're level six?" Kanavi asked in a deep voice. 【256】 "Just the next wave. Gragas will be half a wave faster than me. I pushed back the wave at level three," Yaogao explained after glancing at the experience bar. 【257】 "Let's make a play bot at level six. We can't let them keep playing bot like this. If we play like this, we won't be able to deal with Kalista later," Kanavi had already realized that the bot lane was a problem that couldn't be ignored: "69, you play cowardly for a wave. You have no Flash, so be careful." 【258】 "OK, OK, this Jayce can't kite me!" 369 was still full of confidence. 【259】 And Ye Bo, looking at his own experience bar, also had some ideas. 【260】 Although Gragas's Q skill can also be thrown up to 850 units, because the rolling speed is really a bit slow, it's still not easy to hit against long-handed heroes like Taliyah. 【261】 Yaogao played very cowardly. 【262】 However, Ye Bo could say "No one understands Taliyah better than him!", knowing that the opponent's level couldn't fully rely on skills to clear the wave yet. 【263】 So he could still frequently successfully Q-poke the opponent by camping the position of the "Worked Ground." 【264】 However, Yaogao knew Gragas was about to hit level six, and also knew Gragas's threat to him at level six was not small, so he directly shrank his neck and stood under the tower, honestly waiting for the minion wave to enter. 【265】 But Ye Bo didn't give up the idea. 【266】 "Barrier, come stand guard behind me. He seems to have entered my kill range." 【267】 "Then I'll detour, but I don't know if they have wards at the jungle entrance. I feel like Kindred might also be nearby," Barrier moved out without questioning. 【268】 "You don't need to detour, I'll dive myself," Ye Bo's tone seemed very confident. 【269】 "What the hell?" 【270】 Barrier switched screens and glanced at Taliyah's health—at least 85% left! 【271】 No matter how you looked at it, there was no sign of death. 【272】 Gragas didn't have Flash, but Taliyah had Flash and Unraveled Earth to counter the mid-jungle's double displacement, which could be said to have great room for operation. 【273】 Not to mention Gragas diving himself, even Vi flanking would be quite dangerous. 【274】 Ye Bo of course also knew this, which is why he didn't let Vi flank and expose herself, so as not to raise the opponent's vigilance. 【275】 Doing it himself had a better chance. 【276】 Gragas pushed the minion wave in. 【277】 Taliyah stood very cautiously behind the tower, waiting for the minion wave to enter. 【278】 And when Gragas walked in front of the tower, as if sensing no opportunity, he walked directly into the small path on the right in front of the tower and dove into the opponent's jungle. 【279】 "Gragas entered the jungle, he might be going bot!" 【280】 "I'm almost six... It's okay, he came back." 【281】 Yaogao issued a warning immediately, while cautiously staying away from the wall on the right to prevent anyone from wanting to sneak attack. 【282】 However, he wasn't very worried—after all, his health looked very healthy, and Gragas didn't have Flash, so he couldn't see any danger at all. 【283】 But just after finishing speaking, Gragas appeared, having returned the same way almost immediately. 【284】 Taliyah subconsciously pulled away again. 【285】 But just at this moment. 【286】 I saw Gragas violently pull the cap of the 【Explosive Cask】 in his hand, and suddenly, without warning, he threw the beer barrel in his hand high forward! 【287】 A full 1000-unit ultimate spell range, almost at the edge of the spell range! 【288】 Yaogao could of course react immediately. 【289】 But the problem is he's damn near full health! 【290】 Even if he reacted to this ultimate, who would Flash at full health to dodge an ultimate? 【291】 It was precisely this moment of hesitation that the Explosive Cask, whose target was parallel to Taliyah's side, had already blasted her off the ground in place. 【292】 Beer foam filled the area under the tower. 【293】 But the direction of the explosive displacement wasn't Gragas, but the wall on the right. 【294】 Gragas, having chugged Erguotou, slammed forward with 【Body Slam】, diving straight into the tower, colliding intimately upon landing, and raised his hand to smash down 【Drunken Rage】! 【295】 But after ERW smashed down, Taliyah still had a full three bars of health! 【296】 It wasn't like Yaogao hadn't been Q-blasted before. 【297】 One remaining Q couldn't kill him! 【298】 His fingers were frantically tapping on the keyboard. As long as the 1-second stun of Body Slam ended, Taliyah could immediately Flash-EWQ to complete a counter-kill on Gragas, who was tanking the tower! 【299】 From Yaogao's perspective, he only felt that the opponent had gone crazy, and had made an incredibly outrageous damage calculation error! 【300】 Only, there was just one small question. 【301】 Why... hasn't Gragas used Q yet? 【302】 And, the next moment. 【303】 Yaogao's eyes, which were about to squint, suddenly widened as if he had smoked two packs of Furong Wang! 【304】 Because that beer barrel, hidden within the wall mud, which clearly had been completely exposed outside the wall from the God's-eye view, and was almost face-to-face with Taliyah. 【305】 Was detonated "silently"! 【306】 Detonated along with it were the blood flowers filling the sky, and sparrow feathers. 【307】 "Invisible Barrel"! 【308】 Everyone in front of the screen and behind the scenes was extremely shocked, but also full of confusion! 【309】 (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 109 =====

Jie Jie headed to his upper jungle, cautiously placing a defensive ward in the brush at the entrance to the Blue Buff, only then using Q to enter the Blue pit and start the Blue Buff.

But this cautious ward still exposed him.

Because Kindred, who was currently clearing their own F6, had also specifically detoured here earlier to place a ward.

Why didn't Kindred's ward go directly into the Blue Buff pit?

The reason is simple — because Kindred wanted to use this ward to confirm the location of Vi's ward!

"Kindred finished F6 and hit level three without even clearing the small birds! He is going to the Blue side to find Vi!"

"Knowing there is vision in that brush, Kindred hugs the river wall, successfully bypassing the vision to enter from the upper path!"

"Kanavi's jungle invasion intent in this game is extremely strong!"

Kindred walks into the jungle and sees the pit is empty, but since there are still jungle camp markers on the minimap, he instantly knows Vi's location.

Knowing Vi is only level two and certainly not in good health, Kindred pushes forward without any hesitation.

"Sheng Qiang Ge, come protect the jungle!" Ye Bo abandons his lane minions and moves immediately.

Kanavi issues a command almost simultaneously: "You guys follow me! They can't win this 3v3!"

Both sides converge almost at the same time.

Jie Jie remains calm and collected, his eyes fixed only on the Blue Buff; he makes no cowardly moves, ignoring Kindred as he approaches the brush and burying his head into hitting the Blue.

Kindred walks into the brush, sees the low-health Blue Buff and Vi, and likewise ignores the Blue Buff to start shooting Vi directly!

Jie Jie steadily uses Smite to secure the Blue Buff, reaching level three.

He instantly levels up E, turns around to land a punch to trigger his passive shield, and then decisively flashes to the side to escape.

"Jie Jie stole the jungle camp and hit level three!" Jide shouts urgently: "But Vi's condition is too poor, he chooses to flash away immediately; Kindred pursues relentlessly, applying his E skill for a continuous chase—he's still a bit short!"

"Wow, fortunately Kindred doesn't have Red Buff; Vi uses his refreshed Q to dash over the wall and barely escapes!" Wawa says with relief.

But his partner Miller thinks the situation is not optimistic: "He ran, but Kindred still has Flash. Now the entire upper jungle has to be handed over, plus the F6 camp stolen in the lower jungle—Jie Jie is essentially losing an entire quadrant of his jungle!"

"If this jungle disadvantage is given up at the start, it will become infinitely large!"

The facts are indeed so.

Although Kindred lacks a bit of damage and chasing ability due to the lack of Red Buff.

But in reality, just getting Vi to low health and driving him away has already achieved the effect.

Even if the mid and top laners come to support, the states of the two junglers are worlds apart; no matter how you look at it, it's very difficult to defend this jungle area.

And in this way, after Vi heads back out, he will face the awkward situation of having no camps to farm in both of his jungle quadrants!

If Kindred can establish such a jungle advantage in 3 minutes, he can almost dominate the upper half of the map for the rest of the time, thereby taking over the laning advantage in mid and top, balancing the offensive pressure, or even surpassing it!

Ye Bo clearly saw the subsequent chain reaction, which is why he didn't want to just hand it over, even knowing it was a bad fight.

He quickly analyzes the situation.

"Jie, don't recall yet; we have to try to defend this jungle."

"Our mid and top lane states are fine; try your best to get Kindred low or trade him out, I will find an opportunity."

Jie Jie, who was recalling at the second tower, cancels his recall immediately upon hearing this, pops a potion, and the Red Buff's regeneration also accelerates his health recovery.

Kanavi, who had turned to start farming the Gromp, suddenly sees that the vision at the path didn't show Gragas returning, so he stops and commands his mid and top laners.

"They seem to want to come!"

"You guys come protect me so I can eat this jungle; if I eat it, Vi can't play this game, and I'll be able to play on top of his head later!"

Kindred stops and retreats to the entrance of the Blue jungle, waiting for his mid and top teammates to get into position before pressing forward again.

"Both sides don't want to give up the fight for this jungle! This jungle defense war seems to be about to erupt into a 3v3!"

"But the EDG jungler's condition is too poor, unless they can coordinate to land an engage and kill someone instantly... but with the threat of Taliyah's Unraveled Earth, Gragas, Jayce, and Vi—all three are very hard to land an engage with!"

Both sides are in a slight stalemate.

Gragas stands alone near the Blue Buff brush, while Jayce and Vi are positioned slightly behind and to the side.

Both JDG top and mid lanes are pushing back and have minion pressure.

But everyone can see Gragas is itching to move.

The only threat from the opponent is Gragas landing an E-Flash to potentially cause an early kill, but as long as they can force Gragas's E out, they can win without a fight!

"Vi is charging her Q! Yagao's Unraveled Earth!"

"369, go in on Gragas with me!"

Kanavi, with a clear plan, seizes the opportunity; seeing Vi charge her Q and move forward instead of retreating, he immediately steps up with QW and throws his E onto Gragas, causing a high-percentage slow!

Mini Gnar leaps over from behind and throws a boomerang at Gragas.

At the same time, Taliyah follows up with Threaded Volley and immediately spreads out 【Unraveled Earth】—laying it directly beneath the feet of the three allies!

This is undoubtedly an extremely clever response.

Gragas's close-range E-Flash has no reaction time, and Taliyah's Unraveled Earth cannot be placed after the fact.

This is why the three of them didn't dare to move forward earlier—they couldn't give Gragas a position for an E-Flash.

But now, seeing Vi charging her Q, the opponent has already initiated, so Taliyah uses Unraveled Earth directly to protect her teammates, while also covering the area in front of Gragas.

With Unraveled Earth protecting his feet, Gragas cannot turn back to E!

Gragas pulls back while slowed, activates W to chug a bottle of Erguotou, gaining the {Damage Reduction} status.

Kindred's three-ring mark has already been triggered twice.

Kanavi is extremely cautious; seeing Vi charging up behind him, he keeps an eye on the range of the Unraveled Earth while chasing, not letting himself exceed the protection distance, while also keeping his Flash ready.

As long as Gragas uses his E to escape, Vi and Jayce have no way to kill him.

A Flash to create distance might even result in a full kill!

Gragas finally seems unable to resist.

Just before Kindred is about to fire the final part of his E, he thrusts his big belly backward, preparing to escape over the wall.

"It's okay, don't chase! Just forcing the E is..."

"HOLY!!! SH*T!!!"

The three JDG members were just about to shout when they saw a horrifying scene.

They saw that the belly, which clearly looked like it was slamming in the opposite direction and diving straight into the brush—suddenly appeared right in front of their eyes the next moment!

Gragas, with an incredibly bizarre "backhanded" motion, EQ-whirlwind slams into them.

"45° Back-turned E-Flash"!

If it were a normal E-Flash, not to mention Gragas himself would step into the Unraveled Earth, it would also knock the three of them backward, making them go deeper into the protection of the Unraveled Earth.

Then Jayce and Vi wouldn't be able to join the battlefield immediately, and thus wouldn't be able to instantly kill Kindred, who was in the worst health.

This is why the three of them dared to chase—they were relying on the Unraveled Earth, feeling secure and fearless!

But Gragas's belly, with its peculiar angle, not only knocked the three of them airborne for 1 second at that moment—it actually knocked them "outward" by 225 yards!

This caused the three of them to "stack-fly" to the edge of the Unraveled Earth.

Jayce immediately rolls his fingers across the keyboard for a Q-E-W-R-Q-W-E combo!

Vi, fearless, charges her Q, aiming for Kindred's head!

Gragas detonates the damage-increasing barrel he planted during the EQ.

The AOE from the three of them is instantly maxed out!

The burst damage of these three heroes needs no explanation; without the protection of Unraveled Earth, Kindred, who was being focused and wasn't at full health to begin with, falls almost instantly.

He didn't even survive the 1-second airborne time!

"Xiba, what is this!" Kanavi, panicked, blurts out in his native language.

"Trade Vi! Trade Vi!"

Amidst Kanavi's urgent shouting, Taliyah, having cleared her CC, uses a clutch Seismic Shove to toss her back, and Gnar follows up with a boomerang to successfully kill Vi.

But the full skill sets of Jayce, Vi, and Gragas are basically all AOE.

And since the opposing Kindred was killed instantly, Taliyah's early-game damage isn't high.

Just from that one combo, the health of the remaining two JDG members is even lower!

The two who killed Vi can only quickly cover each other and flee in a panic; Gnar, having used his E to engage earlier, is stuck and ultimately has no choice but to burn a Flash!

EDG, having achieved their goal, is already satisfied.

"Wow, wow, wow! EDG actually won this jungle defense war! They directly resolved the crisis in the jungle!" Wawa is excited.

"Although it looks like a 1-for-1, Vi didn't lose the upper jungle camps, and JDG's mid and top laners also lost minion waves; you could even say they won back the jungle deficit in one go!"

Jide is still thinking about the scene just now in his head: "Gragas, that was... how did he bypass the Unraveled Earth to CC all three of them, and at the same time knock them out of the range of the Unraveled Earth! He's simply the MVP!"

"Let's take a look at the replay!"

More details are revealed in the replay.

After Taliyah's rework, the "length" of Unraveled Earth increased, but the "width" was greatly reduced.

Ye Bo understands Taliyah too well.

Gragas had specifically stood on one side of the Blue Buff, while the other two stood at the crossroads on the left, directly causing Unraveled Earth to only be able to aim in one direction, giving the two teammates below space to follow up.

Although Vi's health was low, as long as she didn't step on the Unraveled Earth and get CC'd to death, it clearly didn't affect her ability to finish her burst damage.

【Holy crap, Fang's toes!】

【Turtle, the belly-backhand!】

【Master Ye's belly can turn corners! Damn, using his butt to slam people!】

【Well played, Beer Man, he's really kiting now!】

【It's hard to imagine that in a game where magic, gods, Void energy, Hextech, ninjutsu, and high-energy machinery coexist, someone's attack method is to get drunk and slam people with their belly—you're right, Gragas.】

【That Gragas is playing like a god! On the other hand (】

Kanavi is in a bad mood.

Everything he meticulously arranged was actually dismantled so "easily" in one wave!

Kindred's death in this wave is equivalent to a major offensive effort by JDG that resulted in almost nothing!

Vi still got the buff, the kills were just traded, and the upper jungle was defended.

Although they were still stolen an F6 camp, the experience from the kill means it won't affect hitting level four, and the jungle tempo will almost not be affected; both sides have basically returned to a parallel line.

The bad news is—there are two even worse pieces of news.

"A fight also just broke out in the bottom lane!" Miller looks at the replay provided by the director.

"Confirming the jungler's position, Amumu found an opportunity to force an engage, Q-ing the bottom lane, and with Kalista's item lead, they instantly forced the support's Flash... the bottom lane laning phase has already been pressured by over ten CS, the pressure is so high!"

Wawa looks at the mid lane and says happily: "Gragas is so comfortable after this fight; he got Kindred's Blue Buff, laning is sweet!"

Jide nods in agreement: "Indeed, although Gragas doesn't have Flash, this hero feels like as long as he holds onto his E skill, he's actually quite hard to gank!"

Why AP Gragas mid can be played.

First, QWER are four AOE skills, and all of them have decent AP scaling.

This means this hero has a very high ceiling for damage output.

Furthermore, Gragas's W skill has a {Damage Reduction} effect, his E skill is a long-distance displacement, and his passive has high healing ability, making him actually very hard to catch in lane.

The only drawback is that the "skill reliability" is very poor.

For example, it's hard for the Q skill to deal the full "brewed" damage, it's hard to hit the E skill without E-Flash, and if you throw the R naked, anyone can react to it; this is why it hasn't become a mainstream playstyle.

But relying on the kill and Blue Buff, Gragas can trigger his passive 【Happy Hour】 recklessly every 12 seconds, and each trigger restores 50 health!

You have to know that a red potion only restores 120 health over 15 seconds.

Taliyah's early-game damage is insufficient, so she can't wear Gragas down at all, and Kindred, after trying and finding it really hard to find opportunities, can only helplessly enter a period of peaceful farming.

5 minutes.

"Jie Jie initiates an attack on the bottom lane, coordinating with Amumu's Flash-Q to kill the support who had no Flash!"

"At the same time, Kanavi is also making a breakthrough in the top lane, forcing a tower dive to help kill Jayce... but because Gnar used his Flash in the previous jungle fight, he was finally finished off by Jayce's Flash-supplemented damage, successfully trading with the defensive tower!"

"Both sides have offense and defense in the top and bottom lanes, but it's very clear that JDG's bottom lane is already in jeopardy!"

"If the mid and jungle can't provide support, this is very likely to become the starting point of their collapse!"

"Speaking of which, it's still because of that previous jungle fight; JDG's jungle confrontation tempo was broken, leading to their failure to achieve a situation of mutual offense in the upper and lower halves..."

The commentary desk analyzes the battle situation.

"In the mid lane, Ye's Gragas bought a Lost Chapter, eh? Doesn't Gragas usually buy Everfrost?"

The mid Gragas that appeared on the competitive stage before was basically the same as the top lane, all using Everfrost.

But Ye Bo doesn't plan to buy it this game.

Because in his understanding, the opponent has five ranged heroes this game, the probability of Everfrost hitting is too low, so it's better to maximize damage for burst.

And now, after Gragas's level is up, the situation in the mid lane laning phase has already begun to reverse.

Relying on healing and damage reduction, Taliyah's Q on Gragas really doesn't hurt.

But Gragas's Q on Taliyah is nearly 200!

And that's just the "instant-detonate" health!

The buff to Gragas in this version is truly significant, with the most critical Q and E both receiving huge enhancements.

The Q skill has reduced cooldown while gaining an extra 10%-20% super-high AP scaling enhancement!

Now, a fully "brewed" Rolling Barrel has a full 120% AP scaling; with just a little ability power, it can deal nearly double the damage of an instant-detonate barrel.

A fully brewed Q barrel plus {Comet} can deal nearly 400 panel damage!

A level 5 Taliyah only has 900 health in total!

Of course~

As long as you aren't an idiot, it's impossible to get hit by a fully brewed Q.

"Yagao, how long until you're level six?" Kanavi asks in a low voice.

"Just the next wave, Gragas will be half a wave faster than me; I had to push back that wave at level three." Yagao explains after glancing at the experience bar.

"Let's make a play in the bottom lane at level six; we can't let them keep doing this, or we won't be able to deal with Kalista later." Kanavi has already realized that the bottom lane is a problem that cannot be ignored: "369, play safe for a bit, you have no Flash, be careful."

"OK, OK, this Jayce can't kite me!" 369 is still full of confidence.

And Ye Bo, looking at his experience bar, also has some ideas.

Although Gragas's Q skill can be thrown up to 850 yards, because the rolling speed is really a bit slow, it's still not easy to hit against long-range heroes like Taliyah.

Yagao plays very safely.

However, Ye Bo can say "No one understands Taliyah better than him!", knowing that the opponent's level right now makes it impossible to rely entirely on skills to clear waves.

So he can still frequently successfully Q-poke the opponent by kiting the position of the "Worked Ground".

However, Yagao knows Gragas is almost level six and also knows Gragas is a significant threat to him at level six, so he shrinks his neck back and stands under the tower, honestly waiting for the minion wave to enter.

But Ye Bo hasn't given up the idea.

"Jie Jie, come stand guard behind me, he seems to have entered my kill range."

"Then I'll detour, but I don't know if they have wards at the jungle entrance, I feel like Kindred might be nearby too..." Jie Jie moves directly without questioning.

"You don't need to detour, I'll dive him myself." Ye Bo's tone seems very confident.

"What the hell?"

Jie Jie switches screens to look at Taliyah's health—at least 85% left!

No matter how you look at it, there's no sign of death.

Gragas has no Flash, but Taliyah has Flash and Unraveled Earth to counter the double displacement of the mid and jungle, which can be said to have huge room for outplay.

Not to mention Gragas diving alone, even if Vi were to flank, it would be quite dangerous.

Ye Bo certainly knows this, which is exactly why he didn't let Vi flank and expose himself, so as not to raise the opponent's vigilance.

Doing it himself actually gives him a better chance.

Gragas pushes the minion wave in.

Taliyah stands very cautiously behind the tower, waiting for the wave to enter.

And when Gragas walks to the front of the tower, as if realizing there's no opportunity, he walks directly into the small path on the right of the tower and dives into the opponent's jungle.

"Gragas entered the jungle, he might be going bottom!"

"I'm almost six... never mind, he's back."

Yagao issues a warning immediately, while cautiously staying away from the wall on the right to prevent anyone from trying to ambush him.

However, he isn't very worried—after all, his health looks very healthy, and Gragas doesn't have Flash, so he can't see any danger at all.

But just after he finished speaking, Gragas appears, returning along the same path almost immediately.

Taliyah subconsciously creates distance again.

But just at this moment.

They see Gragas violently pop the cap of the 【Explosive Cask】 in his hand, suddenly and unexpectedly throwing the beer barrel in his hand high forward!

A full 1000-yard ultimate cast range, it's almost at the edge of the cast range!

Yagao can certainly react to it immediately.

But the problem is he's damn near full health!

Even if he reacted to this ultimate, who would burn Flash at full health to dodge an ultimate?

It was precisely this momentary hesitation that caused the Explosive Cask, whose target was parallel to Taliyah's side, to blast her off her feet on the spot.

Beer foam drifts all over under the tower.

But the direction of the blast displacement wasn't toward Gragas, but toward the wall on the right.

Gragas, having chugged his Erguotou, slams forward with 【Body Slam】 directly into the tower, colliding intimately upon landing, and raises his hands to knock down 【Drunken Rage】!

But after the E-R-W combo, Taliyah still has a full three bars of health!

It's not like Yagao hasn't been hit by a Q before.

One remaining Q can't possibly kill him!

His fingers tap frantically on the keyboard; as soon as the 1-second stun from Body Slam ends, Taliyah will immediately be able to Flash-E-W-Q to counter-kill Gragas, who is tanking the tower!

From Yagao's perspective, he just feels the opponent has gone crazy and made an extremely outrageous damage calculation error!

Only one small question remains.

Why... hasn't Gragas used his Q yet?

And, the next moment.

Yagao's eyes, which were about to squint, suddenly widen as if he'd smoked two packs of Furongwang cigarettes!

Because that beer barrel, hidden within the wall mud, which clearly had been completely exposed outside the wall from the god's-eye view, was almost touching Taliyah's face.

It was detonated "silently"!

Simultaneously detonated with it were the sky-filling blood flowers and sparrow feathers.

"Invisible Barrel"!

Everyone in front of the screen and behind the scenes is extremely shocked, yet full of confusion!
