Chapter 166.2: Tigers were most afraid of tigers who played at being pigs to eat tigers.

With God Yan advertising himself as a giant piece of bait, Wei Xiao slaughtered his way through the Moonlight Wetland. Not only did he complete all four of his talents, he also built up three half-finished pieces of equipment.

The resources available in the five outer zones was limited. There were basically no full pieces of equipment, only half-finished pieces, and even then, the drop rate was very low.

Wei Xiao was too murderous, resulting in bad luck. All of the equipment he obtained had been snatched up from his opponents, and it hadn’t been easy for him to cobble together three half-finished pieces.

Equipment could only be traded in for equipment at the same level, so low level equipment could only be tossed away…

“Captain Yan, here’s a pair of speed boots.”

“Take this ebony staff.”

“This light armor isn’t bad, either. Put it on.”

“Are the shin guards a little heavy? Your body’s not good enough.”

Yan Jiang: “Am I a trash can?”

Wei Xiao sent a smiley face, “I’m protecting your HP.”

Yan Jiang: “It’s better if you give me the half-finished equipment.”

Wei Xiao: “What are you thinking? How can I protect you without them?”

Yan Jiang: “……”

If God Yan had been in Group A during the winter training camp, he wouldn’t have tried to ‘reason’ with Quiet.

Wei Xiao had opened up slaughter mode in the Moonlight Wetland, but because he also had to protect a holy priest on the way, his speed was a bit slower than the rest.

By the time they reached the edge of the Moonlight Wetland, they encountered an invited player who’d rushed through the whole way.

There were three invited players in the Moonlight Wetland. One was Yan Jiang, one was Ayu, and the third was the spirit mage in front of them, Edward.

This player was quite well known, and he was accompanied by two other players, both of whom were well-known anchors.

The terrain grew smoother as they neared the inner circle. The color of the marsh lightened, and there were traces of how the Moonlight Wetland had gained the ‘moonlight’ part of its name.

A big moon hung far away in the sky. It wasn’t like the small jade plate-sized moon in the real world, but a huge moon that covered half the sky. The huge silver and white ball of light looked like an eye that was peeping into the world.

The light it gave off was very strong, but it wasn’t as bright as the sun that could light up the sky and earth. Instead, it was a cold white that always brought with it gloom and fog. The beams of light refracted in the air, reflecting off the dust and filth.

Under the huge moon, Wei Xiao saw Edward, and Edward also noticed Yan Jiang.

Both sides stopped at the same time, their intentions obvious.

Edward didn’t pay any attention to Wei Xiao at all. His eyes were locked on Glory’s number one support.

Wei Xiao estimated the three people’s fighting power, his eyes filling up with murderous energy.

This may be Wei Xiao’s most critical battle. If he won, he could smoothly take Yan Jiang out of the Moonlight Wetland. But if he lost, well, he would have to kill Yan Jiang first.

If his captain couldn’t obtain something, then nobody else should think of getting it either.

They didn’t waste time with nonsense. A battle was imminent!

At this time, Wei Xiao was in his immortal warlock form. The other side had a spirit mage, a berserker warrior, and an immortal thief.

No matter how they looked at it, it seemed that Wei Xiao would be DEAD in capital letters.

The immortal warlock was squishy and had low defense. It wasn’t suited for group fights.

Thousand layers of clouds was a single target attack. Even if the damage dealt was high, only one person could be killed with it. When the player landed back on the ground, they could only wait to be beaten and killed.

It wasn’t like the shadow thief’s light arcs, which dealt explosive damage over a large range. Even if the damage could be divided up between teammates or evaded by relying on positioning, it was still a very strong wave of damage.

Edward and the others really didn’t place any importance on Wei Xiao’s immortal warlock.

If his default talent was the immortal warlock, then it was almost guaranteed that his other talents would also be mage talents.

Edward himself was an excellent mid-laner. Based on his understanding of mid-lane heroes, he wasn’t afraid of anyone except Xie He and Close!

The immortal warlock had the advantage when it came to flexibility. Edward didn’t want Wei Xiao to run off, so he typed out a sentence: “Kill the immortal warlock first!”

As long as God Yan didn’t take the medicine warlock talent, he was just a tasty dessert.

If he had chosen the medicine warlock, the three of them could still manage to kill him after taking turns attacking one after another.

Edward’s plan was logical and reasonable, and his brain was very tactical. However…

The audience in the live broadcast: “Fellow brothers, let’s all type out our heartache on the public screen.”

“Heartache.”

“Heartache.”

A questioning voice mixed in with the screen filled with ‘heartache’: “Is Quiet so strong? These three aren’t ordinary players…”

Earlier, everyone had watched as Quiet fought one against three. They acknowledged Quiet’s strength.

However, those three had been casual players. Could they be compared with a professional player and game anchors?

They were also a group of three, but the strength of these three people was enough to toss the other three’s corpses two blocks away.

Someone in the audience answered, “But the problem is that these three look down on Quiet.”

The audience who’d asked the question: “……”

They got it. Tigers weren’t afraid of tigers, but were most afraid of tigers who played at being pigs to eat tigers.

Edward looked down on Wei Xiao and wanted to kill him with one attack.

Underestimating his enemy like this was no different from a chance from heaven descending on Wei Xiao.

Quiet––he was a famous opportunist in Glory. How could he miss this opportunity?

The immortal warlock fell from the clouds, gathering them together, and smashed a full set of cloud marks onto his body.

Edward sneered inwardly: He really had some skills to be able to form an alliance with God Yan. Unfortunately, he could only wait for death when he landed after his thousand layers of clouds.

Wei Xiao brushed up his thousand layers of clouds. Meanwhile, the immortal thief beside Edward rushed up and took all the damage.

The thousand layers of clouds was a single target attack that would only target the nearest unit. Its target couldn’t be locked manually, so the immortal thief became its first target.

Was the immortal thief looking to die? Was this host selflessly sacrificing himself for Edward?

Of course not!

The immortal thief’s ultimate move was the ten thousand sword volley. Once it was used, there would be an automatic reduction in damage taken, and this thousand layers of clouds only shaved off half of his health.

The three players cooperated very well together. After the immortal thief retreated, the immortal thief switched to a support talent to heal himself, and the berserker warrior rushed up boldly and resolutely. It looked like he was going to send Wei Xiao flying.

After the immortal warlock used thousand layers of clouds, there would be an empty period where all of his skills were on cooldown and no skills could be released.

If these two axes landed, the squishy immortal warlock would almost instantly become a spirit heading back to the West.

Edward felt that the situation was stable and had already shifted his attention to Yan Jiang.

But unexpectedly, in the next moment, the humidity rose up sharply and countless raindrops shimmered into existence around them. The immortal thief and the berserker warrior were both stunned for a moment.

When they returned to their senses, they saw a storm hunter stepping on raindrops like an agile elf, charging towards the immortal thief who was at half health.

The immortal thief’s support talent was the type that healed over time. His health was currently rising back up slowly, but at this time, the rain grew sharp edges and shot straight at his face. He was currently a clumsy support talent with low mobility and had no way to avoid the attack.

Swish, swish, swish!

There were several consecutive swishing sounds as sharp arrows pierced through the immortal thief’s throat. Blood poured out!

The immortal thief panicked and attempted to switch talents to try to escape, but he’d made a big, huge, giant mistake.

His support talent was already his talent with the highest defense. By switching to the thief at this time, he’d lost his defense bonus, and his health dropped even faster.

Another rain arrow shot over.

Wei Xiao killed the immortal thief!

After one of the members of their team died, Edward and the berserker warrior were both left in a daze.

This player, whom they’d originally thought would be easy to kill, ended up being such a difficult opponent?

And… what the hell kind of dog fart combination was the immortal warlock and storm hunter?!

But this was just the beginning. Wei Xiao scattered raindrops again and easily arrived in front of the spirit mage.

Edward’s expression was heavy even as he tossed out his skills.

It was easy for him to kill a storm hunter who’d already used up all his skills in the air.

Unfortunately, Wei Xiao only intended to use the storm hunter to approach Edward. When he landed, there were no signs of the storm hunter anymore. Under his black hood was a cold and pale jaw. His red blade flashed, aiming a shadow attack at Edward’s back!

Edward sucked in a breath of cold air. “Shadow thief?!” These words were shouted into his headset.

The berserker warrior noticed that something wasn’t right. He left Edward behind and started to run.

As a shadow thief, Wei Xiao only needed half a second to kill the spirit mage after he approached it.

Thieves with their high explosive DPS had a natural advantage against mages, let alone when there was a big difference in equipment between the two. The fact that their personal levels weren’t much different didn’t play much of a role.

Edward didn’t even know what had happened even after he died.

Wei Xiao used two movement skills to rush up, wanting to prevent the berserker warrior from running away.

Unexpectedly, this fellow brother was very cowardly. He hadn’t moved this quickly even during the fight, but was clearly able to run like crazy when it came to running away.

He couldn’t catch up…

Wei Xiao felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do.

This was what the big brawl was like. Fighting was very important, but escaping was also a critical subject that had to be learned. If strategic retreats were implemented well, then the player could reach the final circle.

The berserker warrior also felt that he could slip away. It hadn’t been easy for him to participate in such a global event, and he didn’t want it to come to an end here.

If he was going to escape, he was going to aim for the Central Zone! Being able to see a little more was better than nothing!

Who could’ve known…

A wall of light blocked his way.

The berserker warrior bumped into it head on. There was a bang as he smashed himself into a daze.

Wei Xiao: “!”

Yan Jiang didn’t say anything as he used another series of control skills on the berserker warrior’s body. “What are you doing standing there in a daze.”

Wei Xiao tsked.

He rushed up the remaining few steps and killed the berserker warrior who’d been controlled until he was dizzy!

At the same time, the moon fell, the aura contracted, and Wei Xiao and Yan Jiang entered the Central Zone.

Yan Jiang’s health was stable and steady at 80%.

Let alone getting seriously hurt, he was still close to full health.

Wei Xiao: “I won.”

The Central Zone was different from the Moonlight Wetland. It was covered with extremely strong beams of light that had thoroughly cleared out the haze.

Yan Jiang looked at the shadow thief in front of him: His dark cloak was dyed with holy light, his pale skin carried traces of warmth. This was clearly one of his most hated talents, but looking at now, it didn’t seem so annoying.

He typed, “You won.”

The dialog box above the two people hadn’t yet disappeared when another system announcement came out––

Central Zone: First Blood!

Central Zone: FTW.Close killed L&P.Gary.

In the five outer zones, First Blood had been Close’s.

Now, in the Central Zone, First Blood was still Close’s.

He killed the person who was last year’s singles player runner up and starter jungler for the team competition’s runner up team L&P: Gary!

xiin: (Wei Xiao’s First Blood will also be Close’s…?)
