Not long after the arena format was released, both teams submitted their rosters. Yunyin Renjian used a more conservative lineup, with warriors, wizards, and doctors, a typical configuration of warriors, mages, and priests. However, the advertising team came up with an incomprehensible lineup, with an offensive formation mage and two assassins.
Number One Under Heaven twitched his brows when he saw this lineup, "As expected."
"This is... the advertising team brought out a knife team to fight the warrior, mage and priest. This is not easy to fight." Miaoshou Kongkong was also shocked. This is a knife team among knife teams. The adaptability of the classic warrior, mage and priest lineup is very high. The warrior has protection ability, the doctor has endurance ability, and the wizard is a mage with both offense and defense... This makes it very difficult for assassins to sneak around and sneak up on people.
Moreover, the output environment of the protected wizard is very comfortable. When the mage fights the assassin, the damage can only be higher, not lower.
"They might as well use the double assassin-healer lineup they used before. At least they still have healing and mana recovery capabilities for 2 hours. Even if the maze map brings advantages and buffs bring advantages... this is totally useless." Tianxiadiyi couldn't figure out the advantages of this lineup: "The kitchen knife team is all about taking the initiative, how can they take the initiative on this map!"
I'm stupid too. I feel like this is a suicide lineup.
Yes, a maze, and it’s 3v3. How can you get the upper hand in the maze
It's not that it's impossible to fight. You see, two assassins can enter the maze. The enemy is in the open and the assassins are in the dark, so it's possible to launch a sneak attack from behind.
How do you plan to launch a sneak attack in the maze? The maze corridors are narrow and the wizard is covered with poison. The wizard can create a poison circle to cover two teammates. The assassin will be exposed as soon as he gets close.
But wasn’t there a health recovery buff in the first game
Yes, there seemed to be a health recovery buff when Fire Tree and Silver Flower and Stepping on the Cloud were circling.
The maze is changing and the buffs are random. How do you know that you can find the health recovery buff in the first place
Just now in the first maze, they saw many buffs from the warriors and summoners, one of which was a health recovery buff, but there were only 5 doors in total. It was simply a fantasy to find a health recovery buff to sustain life when the health was low.
Can this be found right away
Even if they find it, won’t Yunyin Renjian follow them in
Everyone can recover health, so what is the significance of this health recovery buff
Soon, both teams refreshed and entered the competition area, and the countdown was displayed in front of everyone. Su Mo used the live broadcast perspective, so if his teammates went invisible, he would not be able to see them, but this did not prevent him from commanding. He might not be able to see Xigua and Zhige, but he could see his teammates, the formation master, and his teammates could hear his voice.
During the preparation time, he told his teammates the route in advance.
"Two assassins, go separately. We need to determine what the buff is in the current area as soon as possible." Su Mo scanned the map. "Leave the birthplace area to the formation master, the upper left area to Zhi Ge, and Xigua on the right. Don't go invisible yet. Wait for the buff after you get to the location, and then follow my command."
What the hell?? Isn't it 3v3? Why are the three of them separated
If the advertising group hadn’t been so strong before, I would be a little confused about their operations now.
Is the conductor real
Miaoshoukongkong saw this and tried his best to analyze the intention of the advertising team commander. "In the last game, we said that there is a mechanism in the maze. Both teams may be testing the mechanism. Could this start be related to the mechanism?"
"The last game of Fire Tree and Silver Flower also did this, but judging from his later actions of using an egg to hit a rock to defeat Stepping into the Clouds, it's clear that they haven't figured out the mechanics of this map yet." Tian Xia Di Yi: "Actually, this is an arena, wouldn't it be better to fight in a wave to win? Could it be that the advertising team really relies on that random movement health recovery buff?"
It’s hard to tell whether or not we really count on it, because the first reminder has popped up in the venue.
[Yin Yang Five Elements (birth): Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water]
At the same time, the audience immediately looked at the changes in other people in the venue, and found that this time it seemed that there was no buff that would cause them to lose health or slow down their movement speed...
Eh? No debuff this time
No, you see Xigua and Zhige are not moving. They must have been hit by a debuff that immobilizes them.
It may also be a case of empty buff. This is randomly refreshed just like the previous buff map.
The advertising team is in trouble, everyone in Yunyin Renjian is about to rush out of the maze!
"Stand still and pretend to be immobilized." Su Mo repeated, "Xigua has a golden buff that increases attack, Zhi Ge has a yellow buff that increases defense, and you have a red buff that increases the effect of your skills, brother?"
"Combining the last match, there should be a green buff for restoring health and a blue buff for restoring mana in Yunyin Renjian. I know about 10 types of buffs." Su Mo immediately said, "Zhi Ge, stay invisible and keep moving forward. Turn right and just go straight and then turn right again. Then keep to the right side and go to the maze further ahead. We have to figure out which maze represents the one that restores health."
Hong Guoguo said at the right time: "Not good, it seems that the Yunyin Renjian people are coming for Brother Xing, they want to kill Brother Xing first."
"I know. They can't make it." Su Mo's eyes moved back and forth, sometimes looking at Zhi Ge's situation, sometimes looking at Yun Yin Renjian's route, and continued: "Xigua, turn left and then right, go straight along the left wall, and meet up with Xing Zhi."
"Next, wait for the war to stop. We will attack in three minutes."
Strangely, they were beginning to converge.
The female assassin disappeared. Did she go invisible and move around
It is possible that the location she was in before she disappeared was very similar to the location on the map of Yunyin Human World.
Why didn’t Watermelon follow? And he didn’t even hide himself. Was he so generous as to expose his position
Ta Yunzhong did not play this time. He watched his three teammates move, his eyes lingering for a moment at the place where Zhi Ge disappeared, "Split up at the beginning, they are still testing their skills."
"Is that our illusion? In fact, Huoshuyinhua didn't find any problem with the mechanism." Keai asked doubtfully, "Their behavior is very strange, and the pattern of the buffs this time is also a bit strange. We have a mana recovery buff, and they have a freeze buff. Did we guess wrong? Are the buffs really random?"
"Take action first and see what tricks they have."
The three members of Yunyin Renjian rushed out of the maze first, and rushed straight to the maze door where the formation master and assassin were. Before they entered, the people on the opposite side rushed out first. The formation master cast a speed formation and threw two group damage formations in front of him, with a clear purpose to lock on their doctor.
The warrior was not a pushover either, knowing that the other party was going to kill the doctor, he immediately went behind to protect them. However, the attack power of the kitchen knife team became very terrifying under the blessing of the formation master's damage-increasing formation. Although there were only two of them, they dealt the damage of three people, directly reducing the health of the doctor and the wizard by half. In the end, it was the warrior's giant mountain shield that resisted this wave of full-state output.
The wizard is good at seizing opportunities. After getting the protection of his teammates, he immediately locked onto the assassin to attack. There was no treatment on the opposite side, so as long as he killed one in seconds, he would create a breakthrough.
"Kill them immediately, don't give them any chances." Ta Yunzhong said, "Be careful of the female assassin, she may come from behind."
At this time, new prompts appeared in the venue.
[Yin Yang Five Elements (birth): Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water]
"Again life?!" Ta Yunzhong hesitated.
Lovely added: "This hint appears every 5 minutes, it should be time to change the maze."
The output capacity of the protected wizard is very outstanding. When the doctor's health is reduced to 30%, Watermelon's health can no longer hold on and is only left with 10%.
Number One in the World shouted, "The assassin Watermelon is at low health! Can the wizard seize the opportunity?"
Miaoshoukongkong: "Strange, could that female assassin be lost in the maze? If she doesn't show up now, our teammates are going to die."
When the wizard was about to kill the assassin, the assassin immediately sneaked underground and disappeared in front of his teammates in an instant. He moved quickly with the formation master and retreated directly from the original maze.
"They're going into the maze!"
"Hasn't the maze changed?"
The next second, something surprising happened to them.
The 5% health of the assassin who entered the maze was actually slowly recovering. This state was self-evident. It was the buff that everyone had guessed. The advertising team actually found the health recovery buff accurately!
"What a coincidence!?" Number One Under Heaven was astonished.
"It can't be a coincidence. Xigua is at low health, so they don't dare to take risks." Miaoshoukongkong couldn't understand. "How did they make that judgment?!"
After being reminded by their teammates, the three members of Yunyin discovered the problem. The doctor replenished his own blood and followed his teammates to rush into the maze to kill people. At this time, the formation master stubbornly guarded the entrance of the maze and threw several control formations directly at the entrance to buy time for his teammate Xigua to recover blood.
"Damn it, the formation master has too much control."
"It's okay, wait a while, his control will last for a while..."
Before he could finish his words, the doctor suddenly shouted. It turned out that the female assassin Zhi Ge who had disappeared before appeared silently behind him. For some reason, her personal damage was very high, as if she had received some buff, and the damage she dealt in full state was abnormally obvious.
"Zhi Ge's damage is not right. Her damage was not so high before." Ta Yunzhong noticed the problem. Did she stay invisible for so long to get buffs in another maze? He immediately said, "Don't worry about the formation master. You guys work together to kill Zhi Ge first."
The battlefield has been divided, now is a good time to kill and stop the war.
Zhi Ge's strength only lasted about 6 seconds, but the doctor's health was still 15%, so he was not killed instantly. She had to retreat stealthily and escape from behind. "The doctor was not killed instantly, and the warrior and wizard's protection skills were on cooldown. We tricked the doctor out with two big skills."
"Okay." Su Mo said calmly, "Go into the door on your left. There is a defense buff in there."
"Xigua Xingzhi, get out of the maze and continue to pester them." He continued, "Stay focused on the doctor and continue to trick them into using their skills. Zhige, find a chance to turn invisible and go to the maze to recover health."
Yu Zhen asked, "Are you waiting for the next five minutes? Waiting for Ke?"
"Yeah." Su Mo was confident of victory. "It's too easy for warriors and wizards to team up to protect the healer. The Cloud Hidden Group is not easy to beat. We are missing an opportunity."
In the previous 1v1, thanks to the Fireworks delaying enough time, he finally figured out the order of the maze. In the Five Elements Hall, the maze and the buffs were not the main difficulty, the difficulty lay in the order of the changes.
There are two orders of change: one is creation and the other is restraint.
The order of birth is: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, that is, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth…
The order of restraint is: metal, wood, earth, water, and fire, that is, metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth...
When the maze changes, there will be hints, and the hints are two sequences.
For example, if the prompt is Yin-Yang and the Five Elements (birth), the order of change of the next maze will move according to the order of birth. The original wood area will move to the fire area. The five maze areas will move in turn, and then be mirrored and flipped, and the maze will be refreshed into another appearance.
This is the order in which the maze changes, and the buff follows the maze.
There are 10 types of buffs in this maze, divided into two types: pros and cons.
1. When the map prompt is Yin Yang Five Elements (Life), the buffs that appear in the venue are all positive buffs, namely gold attack increase buff, green blood recovery buff, blue mana recovery buff, red skill power buff and yellow defense increase buff.
2. When the map prompts Yin Yang Five Elements (克), the buffs that appear in the venue are all negative buffs, namely the gold attack reduction buff, green immobilization buff, blue slow speed buff, red blood loss buff and yellow defense reduction buff.
The colors correspond to the Yin and Yang and Five Elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and will change with the maze prompts and movements.
Therefore, the mechanism of this map becomes clear. At the beginning, you must first confirm which attribute each maze represents, so that you can judge which area the required buff is in according to the order of generation and restraint prompted by the map. This is also the reason why Su Mo asked three teammates to explore three areas separately at the beginning. Only in this way can the attributes of the three mazes be determined, and then according to the buffs that appear on the enemy side, the initial order of the maze can be understood.
With the initial sequence, no matter what order the maze changes in, they can completely guess where the buff they want is. He said before that in terms of confrontational strength, they still have a gap with Yunyin Renjian, but if they use the map, the only thing left is to see which side has better cooperation.
The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realized that although it was a team of knives, the advertising team kept attacking, but they could not get a single kill from Yunyin. The lineup of warrior, mage and priest was particularly solid, and they directly deceived the burst of the two assassins. The only thing left was to seize the opportunity to counterattack.
If the assassin is not in full condition, the damage will be less.
It's no use recovering blood, I was still beaten back by the wizard when I came out.
"Sure enough, the Cleaver Team can't beat Yunyin Renjian." Miaoshou Kongkong said: "The elite team of Yunyin Renjian are all old gods. They have played a lot of games, not to mention the conventional gameplay of 3-player arena. It is becoming more and more difficult to use the Cleaver Team to break through and miss the initiative..."
"No..." The sharp intuition of the best in the world came back again, "They keep going in and out of the doors of the maze, and the wizard is starting to run out of mana. But the mana of the three people in the advertising team is healthy."
This reminder from Tian Xia No. 1 immediately alerted everyone.
Yes, the advertising team has been dealing damage all the time, and there is no mana recovery profession, so why is their mana still so healthy? This is totally unreasonable.
Holy shit, a mana buff?!
The health buff is the most intuitive... We almost forgot about the mana buff.
Oh my god, are they just using the buff to restore mana and health
How did they avoid the debuff!
Oh my god, the maze has become their buff supply station.
At this time, the third maze reminder came.
[Yin Yang Five Elements (ghost): metal, wood, earth, water, fire]
Hong Guoguo shouted, "Here it comes!"
Qingfeng: "It's a debuff this time. Should we still go in?"
Su Mo's eyes flickered slightly, "The opportunity has come, let's sell some watermelons and go to the door on the right hand side of Zhi Ge."
Xigua's feet paused slightly: "I sell it?"
Hong Guoguo said: "Oh, how can you say it's selling? This is called seduction."
Apple agreed, "Indeed, on the battlefield there is no distinction between men and women, as long as you can seduce, you are lustful."
watermelon:"… "
You are the lustful one, your whole family is lustful!
"Your HP is 60%, and your chance of stopping the war is 80%." Su Mo gave him a friendship analysis, and paused halfway through: "It's easier for them to believe if you provoke them."
The arena was changing rapidly. Xigua, the assassin of the advertising group, was at low health in the fight. As usual, he turned and tried to run into the maze. The people of the Cloud Hidden Group did not let him escape this time, but chased him immediately. They were too hesitant before, and they let the assassin go every time so that they could always survive the changes. If they dragged on, their mana would reach the warning line, and they had to kill one immediately to gain buffer time.
Seeing this, Su Mo took a sip of water and said, "Prepare to block the door."
The longer the time goes, the higher the stress and anxiety people will feel.
Their conductor became impatient.
Damn, the warrior accelerated and chased after me.
Don't let it go, it's unbelievable that this kitchen knife team can survive this long even without the outbreak.
Almost catching up.
"I know that Yunyin is planning to kill one of them and create a breakthrough." Miaoshou Kongkong said anxiously, "They are not as familiar with the maze as the advertising team. If they continue to waste time like this, they will be exhausted to death. The assassin may not be able to survive."
Number One Under Heaven didn't say anything. He just stared at the entrance of the maze, and the more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed.
Will the advertising team flee? Yes, they fled several times in the first few minutes because they were at low health.
The assassin ran away, Yunyin pursued, the formation master provided cover... But this escape and cover was too real, more real than any previous one.
The two groups chased each other and rushed into the maze that Xigua had entered. However, as soon as they entered, the formation master who was at the end guarded the door and controlled the two formations to block the way, directly blocking the retreat of the Yunyin Group, as if he had been waiting for them to enter the circle for a long time.
The doctor shouted, "This maze is a debuff that reduces defense. We've been fooled!"
Ta Yunzhong's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately said: "Don't worry about other people killing the assassin!"
The wizard and the warrior immediately rushed towards the watermelon.
"It's too late."
At this time, the formation master flicked his judge's pen and stacked two more layers of defensive formation on Watermelon. The defensive formation exploded in an instant. At the moment when the Yunyin Group's fierce attack fell, the [Tiangang Punishment] in the formation master's hand flashed, and all the opponent's attack skills seemed to be invalidated, and they failed to kill Watermelon.
In these few seconds, the two assassins did not stop their counterattack. Their burst cooldown was ready long ago, and they were just waiting for the enemy to fall into their trap and kill them. The assassins were like shadows, and in the debuff that reduced defense, they used their burst to quickly kill the doctor.
However, it is not over yet. The defensive formation disappeared, but the formation master's damage-increasing formation came.
The two assassins plus the array master provided inestimable resources. Without the protection of the doctor, the wizard had nowhere to escape in the narrow maze. He wanted to lock the watermelon but was controlled by the array master. In addition, the female assassin was eyeing him covetously. After struggling for more than ten seconds, he was finally killed by the assassin's knife.
There is only one warrior left in the Hidden Cloud World, and the outcome is already decided.
The host in the live broadcast room was stunned, and the audience was asking questions frantically.
What the hell? All those skills can't kill an assassin with 15% health!
No way, such a small channel can be placed crooked.
What happened, suddenly the doctor is gone, and the assassin is gone? !
Is it the defensive formation of the formation master!
"How did you avoid so much damage?" The dead wizard asked in astonishment: "The damage of my skills on the watermelon is 0. Does the maze have the effect of avoiding damage?" With the amount of damage he and his teammates can do, killing a watermelon is more than enough.
"It could be a buff, or it could be a skill." Ta Yunzhong looked at the formation master on the field with a serious expression. Although he was so cautious, he still underestimated the opponent's killer move.
The last warrior was killed by the three men working together.
No one from the Cleaver Team was killed, but all three members of the Hidden Cloud Group were killed, and everyone in the room was shocked.
After the victory, the perspective jumped to the two assassins and the formation master. The two assassins approached and talked. The formation master was still guarding the door. His health was a healthy 80%, as if a 3v3 match was easy for him. He looked up, and his bottomless eyes fell into the eyes of everyone in the live broadcast room.
It seems like he is looking at someone.
Holy shit, he's so cool!
Ahhh!
"Next game?" The man's voice appeared in his ears.
He was looking at him.
Su Mo blinked and looked at the formation master who was holding a pen in one hand in the maze. He stood there with a stern expression. The body of the Tiangang Zhufa pen in his hand was flowing with light, and a murderous aura seemed to be lingering in it. In fact, all the situations were already completely in his eyes.
The awakening skill of Tiangang Zhufa triggers 4 layers of defense formation to avoid damage for 3 seconds.
He lowered his head and took a sip of water. Protecting the assassin? That couldn't be easier.
This is a weapon tailor-made for him.
"Next game." Su Mo put down the cup, "The game has just begun."
The author has something to say: Advertising Group—
apple: If you seduce her, you will succeed. Both men and women are lustful.
Red fruit: Not absolutely, it can also be watermelon color.
Fireworks and Silver Flowers: It turns out that watermelon is not a male beauty
Xigua: ... This group will disband after it ends, understand
