Chapter 63: The Hunting Game
The silent Lost Temple, the perfect stage for war.
"TopOne's undead appear at 6 o'clock directly below the map, while Max's orcs appear at 8 o'clock on the left, and the two sides are close. Does that mean the competition will be intense from the start? ”
With Fang Han's opening remarks, Xiao Xin had already laid out his own buildings in order: the crypt - the Spiritual Tower, and when the fifth monk walked out of the cemetery, the construction of the Hero Altar also began. This is the standard start of UD, the undead are quite short of wood in the early stage, and UD itself is a race that is extremely dependent on high technology, so in order to ensure the supply of wood in the early stage, it is necessary to put down the crypt first, in order to produce ghouls to collect wood faster, and at the price, the hero of UD will come out later than the opponent.
After the Death Knight finally walked out of the altar and purchased a skeletal scepter, DK ran to the central temple with five ghouls to prepare to start the MF, however, waiting for him was the Prophet who had been waiting at the gate of the base for a long time.
"In the early stage, the sooner or later the hero appears often means who can take the initiative."
Hero said.
The Prophet cooperates with the two ghost wolves he has summoned to attack DK while dodging the ghouls. Max's purpose is clear, to consume the Death Knight's HP as much as possible, because, in the early stage, the undead don't have any equipment to replenish their health, and if the DK health as a soul character is too low, then UD is no different from being crippled. Of course, a single-handed prophet is in danger of being surrounded by demons at any time. It's a hunting game, but who's the hunter and who's the prey?
The Prophet jerked and broke out of the encirclement at the last moment. The ghosts nimbly turned around and instantly surrounded a ghost wolf, killing it would give them 30 experience points, which would make up for the loss of DK being harassed by the Prophet and not being able to MF. And the desperate ghost wolf still fiercely attacks DK, persistently implementing the strategy of "draining DK's health". 120, 68, 19, these 30 experience points were about to arrive, and suddenly, the ghost wolf turned into a red light and disappeared like a real ghost! The Prophet used the summoning technique again! Max saw the moment and summoned two new ghost wolves in this instant, thus replacing the dying wolves who were about to become experiencers. In this way, DK remains 0 experience. In the duel of masters, even the smallest details must strive for perfection.
"Did you find out?"
Xiao Tian touched Ah Ming.
"Yes, Wyvern."
Lan Rui next to him said, and Armin nodded in agreement.
At this time, the HLTV screen shows the situation in Max's base: the secondary main base has been upgraded to halfway, the barracks have just been built, and the shop is still under construction.
"In the early stage, only build a hero altar and a hole in the ground, use the prophet to harass the opponent, take the opportunity to quickly upgrade the base, and wait for the completion of the second book to put down two beast pens and mass-produce bipedal wyverns. Max's pawn was built so late, so it must be the Wyvern! Right? ”
Qizai analyzed triumphantly.
"Stupid! Everyone knows such an obvious thing. ”
Lan Rui stuck out her tongue at him and said disdainfully.
"What?! You little girl doesn't know that trick yet! ”
Qizai waved his fist at Lan Rui, looking like a man-eating beast. Obviously accustomed to such a "performance", Lan Rui pushed her glasses unmoved, pouted and said:
"That's all I can do, okay? It's not like you can't win! ”
"Oh!"
The exclamations of the audience interrupted Yaxing, who continued to argue between the two.
"DK and the five ghouls, in this case, TopOne actually forcibly forced the leveling points of 432 (level 4 Tree Demon Hunter, Level 3 Tree Demon Berserker, and Level 2 Tree Demon Priest) in the MF Temple against the harassment of the Prophet! The monsters here are not weak, plus there is enemy harassment, so MF is too risky! ”
As soon as Fang Han's words fell, the Level 2 Tree Demon Priest had already been defeated by Xiao Xin, but a ghoul was already red blood. Not surprisingly, a death entanglement saved the ghoul in time. At the same time, two skeleton soldiers burst out of the monster's corpse. Max changed his tactics, the Prophet and the Wolf focused on attacking the fragile ghouls, and after the use of Death Coil there was a COOLDOWN (skill freeze time), during which time to concentrate fire on the ghouls and see how you save them!
As the third-level Tree Demon Berserker fell, another ghoul turned red-blooded, Xiao Xin easily pulled it away from the battlefield, evaded the Prophet's pursuit, and continued to carry out his own MF in defiance of his opponent.
It's the first time I've encountered such an arrogant guy! Max clenched the mouse in his hand.
"TopOne isn't in great shape, and you're the best at dealing with the undead. So, it should be you who hit him with the most certainty! Remember, the so-called genius TopOne is just an out-of-fashion star! Kill him as our first step to winning the championship! ”
I remembered what captain Fly said to him at yesterday's pre-game preparation meeting. Max calmed down.
Right! The anxious one should be TopOne, and I haven't been able to feel at ease MF, so I will take such a risk to practice, as long as I play according to the predetermined tactics, the victory will be mine!
Under the endless harassment of the prophet, and in the worried eyes of the audience, the leveling point of 432 was finally cleared, and DK was also beaten to a state of small half-blood. Summoning the two skeletons again, DK and his own troops split in two, and the group of ghosts went down, while the Death Knight single-handedly pounced on the Prophet!
With your half-crippled DK, you also want to kill the Prophet? Hmph, let's see who dies first. Max pressed the "T" key quickly, and two ghostly wolves protruded into the murky air of the Lost Temple, their sharp claws aimed at the oncoming Death Knight. Surprisingly, after taking two blows, DK suddenly turned a corner and slid past the Prophet in a graceful motion, as if he were waltzing.
The Death Knight led the prophet and the wolf in hot pursuit, to the fountain of life in the center of the temple, and ran around the spring from right to left, and his health returned a lot, and at the same time, a yellow light flashed, and DK was promoted to level two - the ghoul was leveling up on the other side. The Prophet circled the spring and continued to pursue the Death Knight. Driving the shadow sheep under his seat to pace two steps upward, DK suddenly smiled slyly, turned around, raised his hand, and the death entanglement hit the monster next to the spring, the sleeping monster group was awakened, and the nearest prophet became the target of concentrated fire catharsis, and could only flee in embarrassment. On the other side, the Death Knight was already gone.
"A forcible MF won back the initiative. Pretty! ”
Hero exclaimed, Wang Xue was puzzled, and Hero analyzed:
"In the beginning, the Prophet has been hanging the troops of the UD, which can both reconnoiter and limit the level of the DK, and his own base can be safely upgraded. At this time, the initiative of the battle situation is completely in Max's hands. However, Xiao Xin's forcible MF and then skillfully divided the troops into two ways, disrupting Max's steps. The Prophet, who was supposed to harass him, lost his opponent, and now, the situation is no longer in Max's control. ”
"I see, but"
Wang Xue propped her chin, her eyes flashed with fascination, staring at Xiao Xin on the stage, and muttered:
"DK's series of moves just now is really handsome, just like TopOne himself."
Wang Xue's words caused a strong response from the audience, "Xiao Xin! Xiao Xin! Many MM fans shouted loudly in a neat manner, as if they were star chasers, and they almost held a glow stick in their hands.
"This woman"
Xiao Tian pouted dissatisfiedly.
"However, Max's secondary base has been upgraded."
Chen Ling ignored the surrounding noises, and just said lightly.
"Well, if you get out of the flying dragon quickly, it will still be difficult for Xiao Xin's ground troops to resist."
Amin was worried.
"It's okay, doesn't the captain already know."
Xiao Tian pointed to HLTV and said, on the big screen, DK was circling in the base of the beast clan, obviously, Max's flying dragon flow had been fully understood by Xiao Xin. At this time, Xiao Xin's secondary base has also been upgraded.
The prophet took two infantry to the "531" leveling point MF in the upper right of the Fountain of Life, and lost DK, if he didn't level up again, the hero level would only be bigger. That's the only thing Max can do at the moment. The double beast pen in the base has already begun to operate, and when the flying dragon is formed, it will immediately suppress the UD, so the advantage is still on his side.
Max's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden appearance of an uninvited guest, and a death coil slashed across most of the screen like a flying immortal, hitting the fifth-level ogre with 56 HP remaining. At the same time, the Death Knight appeared in Max's field of vision, and with the yellow light flashing on his body again, DK had been upgraded to the third level! On the other side, the ghoul also happened to clear the monster at the 6 point mine. The Death Knight held Frost Sorrow in his hand, his eyes glinting. As if to say: this is the real harassment!
The Prophet led his troops in pursuit of DK, and as expected, the Death Knight fled to his base below, Max smiled, and his second, the Minotaur Chief (TC), was heading in that direction, just in time to intercept DK!
On the ancient Lost Temple, the hunting game unfolds again. Who will be hunted this time?
As if not angry at being chased like this, DK turned around and struck the Prophet with a death entanglement. Max quickly checked DK's mana: 76 points, which is only enough to put Death Coil again, and the Prophet still has nearly 200 more HP left, which should be safe. Max confidently operated the troops to continue the pursuit of DK.
The Death Knight made it to the exit below the temple and was soon back to his base safely. However, in front of him was the Minotaur Chieftain who stood like a mountain! DK took advantage of his speed and made a small turn to slide past the bulky TC, but the TC suddenly slammed his foot, and DK was stunned! War Trample (Violently rams the ground, stuns and damages additional enemy units, stun duration: 1, 3, 2, 4 seconds; Level 3, 5 seconds. Hero stun duration is one second less)! In order to intercept DK, the first skill of the Minotaur Chief chose not the usual shockwave, but the war trample! Max's flexibility exemplifies the qualities of a master.
Taking advantage of DK's dizziness, the orc troops in the rear caught up, and the prophet, TC, two infantry, and two wolves surrounded DK in an instant!
Max smirked, prey, caught.
Suddenly, a miserable white frost burst out of thin air! At the same time, the sword in DK's hand also swung lightly. The Prophet fell to the ground and died before he could scream!
UD's iconic NC double hit!
The Death Knight stepped over the corpse of the Prophet and easily broke out of the encirclement to join the second hero, the Lich King. The smile on DK's face shone in the cold light of Frost's sorrow
The meaning is extraordinarily cold.
Who is the prey, you will not know until the end!
"Terrible trap! TopOne uses DK as bait to kill Max's prophet in an instant! In front of the Demon King, maybe anyone can only be prey! ”
Fang Han's excited voice was quickly drowned out by a warm applause.
"Noticed? So far, neither the old nor the new has died a single unit. ”
Amin said.
"What do you mean?"
Li Hong's eyes widened, and he said with some difficulty breathing:
"It can't be, that kind of situation hasn't happened in a long time in a professional game!"
Ah Ming smiled slightly:
"It's entirely possible to do it if it's old and new!"
"To do what?"
Britney asked. Amin said excitedly:
"Totally matched!"
