The map Tang Muzhou chose in the second game was called "Sunset Forest".

The long-lost map made the fans at the scene scream, and the veteran players watching the game backstage were also surprised - this was the map that Tang Muzhou used when he won the individual championship in the fifth season when he debuted.

In late autumn, in the forest at dusk, the light of the setting sun shines through the gaps between the leaves, giving the entire scene a layer of golden light, which looks particularly warm.

However, the seemingly warm forest is full of dangers. After the game starts, a large number of purple vines will appear in the forest. These vines will continue to spread. Once they touch the card, they will immediately imprison it in place, causing paralysis control for 3 seconds. At the same time, autumn maple leaves will fall from the top of the head every once in a while. The sharp leaves of the blood-red maple leaves will cut the card like a sharp knife, causing a one-time critical damage of 20% of the health.

In the fifth season, Tang Muzhou proved himself in the finals with this map - the smiling sharp boy, with his flexible positioning skills and precise skill release, amazed the audience. From that day on, Tang Muzhou replaced Chen Qianlin and became the strongest representative among the wood players in the professional league.

Now, in the civil war of the Wood Element, Tang Muzhou took out this map from five years ago. One is to commemorate his friendship with Chen Xiao, and the other is to prove his own strength - the same map, after five years, can Tang Muzhou still suppress his opponent like he did then?

Fans were full of anticipation, and Su Yang also said excitedly: "Sunset Forest, this map is particularly challenging. Tang Muzhou only used it once in the fifth season finals and never used it again. It's not that this map is outdated, but this map is really too difficult to play!"

As the map played on the big screen, Su Yang quickly explained: "The difficulty of Sunset Forest is that the vines do not appear once in a while, but exist from the beginning. The vines that continue to spread on the ground will seriously interfere with the player's movement. The maple leaves in the sky are not necessarily hit, and can be avoided by moving. As long as the maple leaves do not hit the card, it will be fine. If they hit, it will cause health loss. In this way, the player must avoid the vines on the ground, the maple leaves in the air, and the opponent's skills at the same time."

Wu Yue sighed: "If it were me, I would be so flustered that I wouldn't know where to go."

Liu Chen also said: "In fact, the most critical thing is the vines. When the vines on the ground touch the cards, they will cause paralysis for 3 seconds. If maple leaves fall during these 3 seconds, it will really make things worse."

Su Yang said: "The Sunset Forest has another feature. After the competition begins, the number of vines will increase, and the frequency of maple leaves falling will gradually increase. This is a map with increasing difficulty, and the pressure on the players will become greater and greater."

At the beginning, there are only three or four vines, but in the later stages, there are vines everywhere under your feet, and you may be tied up with every step you take. Players will really feel overwhelmed, especially melee players like Nie Yuandao. The most annoying map is Sunset Forest, no doubt about it.

Nie Yuandao, who was watching the game from the backstage, looked serious. Shan Lan came over and asked, "For a map that tests only positioning skills, I think Chen Xiao has little chance of winning. What do you think, Master?"

Nie Yuandao nodded: "There are not many people who can beat Tang Muzhou in this map, but it is not certain. Chen Xiao is likely to bring some unexpected cards, such as the blood-sucking card in the last game."

Since being equipped with the skill of "crow mouth", Nie Yuandao's words in pre-match predictions are not so absolute, because once he speaks too absolutely, he will definitely get it right, just like the "pre-match spoiler king". Shan Lan found that his master did not say who would win, so he had to give up. He participated in the betting and bet 100,000 betting coins on Tang Muzhou to win this round, hoping that Tang Muzhou would not let him lose everything.

At the start of the game, Tang Muzhou brought the vine deck.

With the vines on the scene plus the vines Tang Muzhou brought himself, it was obvious that he wanted to control the situation to the end in this game.

Chen Xiao brought a rather mixed set of cards. In addition to the two main group attack output cards "Black Mage" and "Black Rose", he also brought Vampire Ivy and Blood Rose in this game. The former adds blood, and the latter makes the opponent bleed. It is obvious that he wants to take advantage of the "blood difference".

Su Yang said: "Chen Xiao's thinking is very clear. He brought the Vampire Vine to suck blood from a large area to protect his teammates. The Blood Rose will make the opponent bleed continuously. I suck blood and you bleed. Over time, the HP of both cards will be further apart. As long as he can slow down the pace, he has a chance of winning."

Wu Yue frowned slightly: "But there is a problem. Tang Muzhou has too many control skills. Chen Xiao's blood-sucking vines may be killed."

Liu Chen said: "It depends on who has stronger firepower and who kills the opponent's key card first!"

The competition officially begins.

The sunset forest casts a golden warm light, but dangerous purple vines appear on the ground. These are the vines that come with the scene, and their colors are very different from the card vines made by the players. They "swim" around like spiritual snakes, and once they touch the cards, they will be grounded and paralyzed for 3 seconds without hesitation.

If there are too many controlled cards, it will be difficult to dodge the vines, but if there are too few summoned cards, there will be a risk of being killed instantly by Tang Muzhou, so Chen Xiao summoned 5 cards at the beginning, no more and no less, and quickly spread out to avoid the vines while launching tentative attacks.

Tang Muzhou also summoned 5 cards, including Green Ivy, Ivy and Pearl Chlorophytum.

I saw a thin green vine spreading along the ground, and the green spherical leaves of the pearl spider plant gathered around it - the two were facing Chen Xiao's vampire vine.

Vampire vines are a card that helps Chen Xiao to delay the game to the late stages. It absorbs blood every second and converts it into group healing in proportion. Once the vampire vines are destroyed, Chen Xiao will not be able to delay the game to the late stages.

Tang Muzhou obviously quickly grasped the key card and wanted to kill the vampire vine in one go.

Chen Xiao alertly ordered the vampire vines to retreat, but the green vines and pearl spider plants continued to chase after him.

At this moment, the audience from the God's Perspective discovered that Tang Muzhou actually controlled the ivy to separate three vines, which tied up Chen Xiao's three attack cards, the Black Wizard, the Black Rose and the Black Parrot, in an instant with lightning speed!

——Feint to the east and attack in the west, this wave of operations against the vampire vines are all feints!

Pei Jingshan, who was watching the game in the backstage, sighed and said, "Tang Muzhou is operating on five lines, and Chen Xiao can't defend against him."

He lost to Tang Muzhou in the quarter-finals because this guy tricked him into using a big move at a critical moment. As a two-time champion of the individual competition, Tang Muzhou's one-on-one strength is really abnormal.

It was very difficult for Pei Jingshan to control the multi-directional displacement of so many insects at the same time, but Tang Muzhou did it - five vine cards, displacement in five directions, and coordinated with the movement trajectory of the vines on the ground, forming a trap. Chen Xiao really had nowhere to hide.

A player has limited energy. When Chen Xiao found out that Tang Muzhou wanted to focus on his vampire vines, he would naturally protect the vampire vines first. Who would have thought that Tang Muzhou was just pretending to kill the vampire vines, but at the same time he was controlling the creeper, splitting it into three and forcibly controlling the other three output cards?

Chen Xiao felt his scalp tingling when he saw this scene!

After not seeing each other for five years, Tang Muzhou's operating skills are really terrifyingly strong.

After controlling the three cards, Tang Muzhou immediately followed up with the output. At this time, a large number of maple leaves began to fall from the sky. The blood-red maple leaves touched the cards, causing a one-time 20% critical damage!

Tang Muzhou's Ivy was controlling the opponent and could not retreat, so it was forced to take this wave of damage.

But it was not a loss at all—because all three of Chen Xiao’s cards were hit by Maple Leaves, and all three cards lost 20% of their health!

Tang Muzhou seized the opportunity, summoned his ultimate output card, and killed the "Black Mage" with a wave of critical hits.

Chen Xiao immediately used the group blood-sucking skill of "Vampire Vine" to restore the health of his cards. However, once the Black Mage died, his output cards were obviously not enough. In addition, Tang Muzhou was operating on multiple lines, and the vines all over the ground were difficult to avoid. If Chen Xiao wanted to turn the game around, he had to drag it to the late stage and kill Tang Muzhou.

Of course Tang Muzhou would not give him such an opportunity.

It was another five-way operation. The opponent was forced to move by using the ivy that split into three branches, the green vine was strongly controlled individually, and the flexibility of the pearl spider plant was brought to the extreme. The surrounding green pearl leaves gathered and exploded instantly - the black parrot was also killed!

Su Yang felt a chill down his spine watching this: "Tang Muzhou's multi-directional vine binding method is really too perverted."

In the previous doubles match, Tang Muzhou had used a vine deck, but at that time it was operated by only him and Xu Changfeng. Xu Changfeng was undoubtedly an excellent player, but there was still some gap compared to Tang Muzhou, so the vine play in that game was not at the top level.

Now, Tang Muzhou controlled seven vine cards at the same time, which was considered a good lesson for the audience on the scene - what is the vine control method?

The dense vines spread in multiple directions, leaving you with no place to stand!

Front, back, left, right, his vines were everywhere, melee players were almost driven crazy by him, even though Chen Xiao was a ranged player, he was also given a splitting headache by the vines' group control—

I was frozen and paralyzed, and I was tied up with every step I took. The maple leaves in the sky kept falling down. It was so annoying!

He finally understood why Tang Muzhou was recognized by the league so quickly after the end of the fifth season.

Chen Xiao was a little dissatisfied at the time. He felt that Tang Muzhou won the championship at such a young age and actually replaced his brother as the representative of the wood-type players? Why did he replace Chen Qianlin?

But now, Chen Xiao understood.

In the season 5 finals, if Tang Muzhou uses the same style as today, forcing his opponent to move and controlling him to death, then no one in the entire league will question his ability. Multi-directional control is difficult, and it is even more difficult to grasp the details by combining the negative states of the ground and the sky. The young man who can do all this has terrible talent and strength, which cannot be doubted by anyone.

Tang Muzhou is indeed qualified to become the representative of the new generation of wood-type players after his master retires.

Chen Xiao lost the second game, and he accepted the defeat with conviction.

Xie Mingzhe, who was watching the game in the backstage, was also very impressed - controlling five vines and forcing the opponent to move from different directions, such a difficult operating skill he has not yet mastered. The senior brother is worthy of being the senior brother. He undoubtedly stands at the top of the pyramid in terms of card operating skills. If Chen Xiao wants to defeat Tang Muzhou, he cannot win by competing in skills, he can only use other methods.

The current score is 1:1. The third game is Chen Xiao's home court. Xie Mingzhe thinks Chen Xiao may win another game.

At this moment, Shanlan was turning on his laptop and his fingers were sliding quickly across the screen.

Nie Yuandao took a suspicious look and found that he was betting coins in the official website forum. In the second round, he guessed that Tang Muzhou would win, betting 100,000, with odds of 1.2, and earning 120,000. Shanlan was very happy. In the third round, he guessed that Chen Xiao would win, and bet 150,000 in one go.

Nie Yuandao asked, "You're betting so much at once, aren't you afraid of losing everything if you guess wrong?"

Shan Lan smiled and pressed the confirmation button, saying, "No, didn't Chen Xiao win the first game at home? I think today's match is likely to be one game won by Chen Xiao at home and one game won by Tang Muzhou at home. The score is 2:2 in the first game, and the winner will be decided in the final game."

Nie Yuandao said nothing because he felt that things might not be as simple as Xiaolan thought.
