Chapter 99 Imprisonment

There was a moment of silence at the finish line before a quick assessment of the situation.

"You can try! But the risk is huge; you might get killed instantly."

"I know, but this is the only chance!" Ji Wanqing said resolutely.

If we drag this out any longer, we'll only be slowly boiled like a frog in lukewarm water, dying a slow death.

After receiving her teammates' tacit approval, Ji Wanqing seized the moment when the enemy ADC was about to attack the tower, controlled her hero to flash out of the tower, and accurately unleashed a set of skills at the ADC.

However, the Blade team responded faster than expected. Almost at the same time that Ji Wanqing flashed, the opposing support also flashed to dodge the skill, and the ADC directly moved away to create distance and counterattacked a few times.

At the same time, the top laner, Blade, teleported behind Ji Wanqing and chose to block their retreat and cut them off directly.

"Sister, come here!" Starlight hurried over to her.

“There’s a chance!” Ji Wanqing replied in a deep voice, choosing not to run away, as it was too late to do so now.

When the enemy ADC saw that his help had arrived, he decisively went up to attack her. Ji Wanqing gritted her teeth and chose to trade one for one, instantly killing the enemy ADC. However, she herself was also killed by the top laner and support.

Starlight, who rushed over, was entangled in the jungle by the enemy jungler and mid laner, barely escaping with a sliver of health. Only after Biefei used a crowd control skill on the enemy did he manage to escape.

They were forced into a team fight, but their positions were somewhat scattered, and the ADC and the rich support at the finish line could only go back to defend the high ground.

This exchange didn't go very well, and there was silence in the voice chat as everyone seriously tried to salvage the situation.

Ji Wanqing sighed, "I'm sorry, I acted impulsively."

[Honey, you're okay! The opportunity was really good, but their top laner reacted too quickly.]

The enemy ADC got a bounty for dying this time, so it's not a bad deal.

[Don't blame yourself; staying calm is the most important thing.]

"It's alright, we still have a chance to hold the high ground," the finish line officer reassured him while calling for reinforcements.

"It's just a game, don't put too much pressure on yourself." Even the barking dog echoed this sentiment.

The rich woman and Xingguang also responded with a "hmm".

Ji Wanqing let out a long sigh of relief, trying her best to calm herself down. "Yes, I know."

Ji Wanqing waited for more than half a minute for the resurrection, and their team finally managed to clear the minion wave.

At this point, apart from the high ground, the map outside was completely black, and the opponent's whereabouts were completely unknown.

"They might be taking Baron Nashor." Don't bark frowned. "Should we go and steal it?"

"Give it a try?" the finish line quickly responded, pausing briefly before adding, "But if you don't win this round, you're out."

"Let's give it a try." Ji Wanqing took the lead and walked towards the Dragon Pit.

The others followed suit, knowing that this was the final team fight.

However, before they even reached the Baron pit, they heard a system notification that the enemy had already killed the Baron.

Just as the rich woman was about to place a ward in the bush, she was immediately controlled by the enemy's Blademaster, and a team fight broke out instantly.

However, they were too passive, and the finishing line and Ji Wanqing's output environment was not very good. They were wiped out in just a moment and watched helplessly as the opponent destroyed their base.

The game ended with a sound effect, and the word "Defeat" appeared in large letters on the screen.

Ji Wanqing looked at the gray "Failure" sign, took a deep breath, her heart filled with resentment, but she also understood that this was the difference in strength.

The opposing team's team execution and individual skills at crucial moments were indeed superior.

The live stream resumed, and Fengren's expression remained calm, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes.

"They're a very strong team. If we hadn't reacted quickly, the outcome might have been different."

Although Ji Wanqing was a little disappointed, she still maintained a polite smile, "Our strength is there, we accept our defeat wholeheartedly."

Just then, the commentator's excited voice came through the live stream chat window.

"Congratulations to Team SX! With perfect kiting and attrition, they successfully defeated the formidable TKG and advanced to the finals!"

"Should we still choose SX's lineup for the next game?" Sharp Edge gave her another chance to choose.

Ji Wanqing exhaled heavily and replied decisively, "I won't change it, but thank you anyway."

"Okay." Sharp Edge wasn't good at starting conversations, so he simply greeted her, muted his microphone, and went to chat with his fans.

[A glorious defeat! You played exceptionally well!]

[The opposing team has professional-level teamwork, so their performance has already exceeded expectations!]

That final team fight was awesome! It's just that the opposing team was too overpowered!

Don't lose heart on the deserted island.

"Sigh, they don't allow you to use your money, so beating professional players is really difficult." Bie Fei sighed. Hearing Ji Wanqing's voice so low, he knew she must be in a bad mood.

"Losing to a professional player is nothing. After all, they make a living with that skill. Don't overthink it." Xingguang was unusually calm and spoke eloquently to comfort Ji Wanqing.

"Smile, you'll look even better," the finish line whispered softly.

Their comforting words did make Ji Wanqing feel much better, and she obediently raised the corners of her mouth.

"Thanks for the gifts, Lonely Island Bro and Endpoint Bro. I'm fine. It's just that it's a bit uncomfortable to have you guys get beaten up with me. I'll be fine in a bit."

"What are you saying? I'm doing this voluntarily. We'll take the beating together, don't panic!" The rich woman's voice was as cheerful as ever, seemingly unaffected by the game.

“Exactly, my sister is already very strong! That mid laner on the other side also played professionally for three years. At worst, we can go to jail together.” Starlight quickly chimed in.

In the game, being in jail means being constantly at a disadvantage and having a very difficult time, just like being imprisoned.

Ji Wanqing was amused by his words, and her smile deepened. "Okay, okay, I know."

She sat up straight, perking up again, "The next round is about to start! Let's go!"

Biefei chuckled softly, "That's more like it."

Good! That's how it should be!

[The weather recovered so quickly! It's like a resilient cockroach!]

After a short break, it was time for the second hero selection phase.

Ji Wanqing watched Qingye's team selection with trepidation.

If we lose this round, then this is the end of our journey.

I had already mentally prepared myself not to care about winning or losing, but when the game actually started, my competitive spirit suddenly kicked in again.

They selected heroes based on the teams in the professional league and loaded the game.

In this match, SX team chose a more aggressive lineup, while TKG chose a lineup suitable for team fights.

The comments section was already buzzing with discussion.

[Damn it, I feel like the lineup isn't a good fit for Qingtian's team.]

I felt the same way. I wish I had chosen TKG's team.

[An aggressive, offensive lineup is better suited for teams with stronger mechanical skills. If Qingtian had chosen a teamfight-oriented lineup, they would have won more easily. Now the tables have turned completely.]

Since the choice has already been made, no one can predict the future. Let's wait and see.
