Seeing that neither the One-horned Black Rhino nor the Bull Demon King could gain the upper hand, Chen Xiao and Shan Lan decisively stepped in to help.
Chen Xiao unexpectedly summoned the Bat Flower on the cloud where the judgment was located, and went deep into the enemy camp alone!
Just now, because the Bull Demon King occupied the big cloud, Nirvana's cards didn't dare to go to the cloud for fear of being knocked down by it. But at this time, the Bull Demon King and the One-horned Black Rhino restrained each other, which gave Chen Xiao the opportunity to let the Bat Flower come near the Bull Demon King.
When it comes to air combat kills, the Bat Flower card is extremely useful. It can throw out the white whiskers on the petals, designate a maximum of several targets within a range, and forcibly pull the targets in front of it.
Chen Xiao directly selected the unicorn black rhino, as well as the lion on the big cloud and the white wolf, two beast-type melee cards.
These three cards are all Nie Yuandao’s cards!
He let the bat flower walk to the edge of the cloud on its own initiative, and as it jumped down, it stretched out its long tentacles and pulled the group together, as if to say, "I'm going to commit suicide, and you all will be buried with me!"
The audience was amused and confused to find that when Chen Xiao let Bat Flower jump off the clouds to commit suicide, he actually dragged all three beast cards of Nie Shen off the clouds as well.
One for three, very decisive!
Su Yang smiled and said, "Great! The Bat Flower committed suicide, dragging the three beasts on the opposite side to die together."
Audience: “…”
Isn't this suicide for love too tragic?
The live broadcast room was filled with comments: "Today's Lion is so pitiful. In the first round, Qin Keqing persuaded him to hang himself. In the second round, Bat Flower dragged him down the clouds to commit suicide. The poor King of Beasts has completely lost his dignity!" "What is fraud? It's nothing to persuade the opponent to hang himself after Qin Keqing died. Chen Xiao's Bat Flower jumped down to commit suicide and dragged three cards into the water. This is the highest level of fraud!"
Looking from an upward angle, the picture just now looks like a beautiful flower holding three beasts, falling from the sky together, as spectacular as dumplings.
Liu Chen sighed: "I don't know how to evaluate it."
Su Yang smiled and said, "Chen Xiao is still very decisive. He is very profitable to play one against three. In the ultimate kill map, this kind of play is very skillful. However, a deck of 20 cards cannot be full of displacement control cards. Nie Xiaoqian and Bat Flower are already dead, Bull Demon King is still colliding with the One-horned Black Rhino, and the remaining Iron Fan Princess's skills are cooling down... We have to use the conventional play next."
The ultimate killing map has cards that control movement, and the only cards that need to be killed are the opponent's key cards.
Chen Xiao actually wanted to drag Shan Lan's flying birds down, but the flying bird cards were too far away and he couldn't reach them, so he could only kill a few of Nie Yuandao's cards first based on the principle of proximity.
After killing Nie Yuandao's three main output cards, Chen Xiao immediately released a long-range attack card. Not far away, Xie Mingzhe also summoned a long-range attack card on the big cloud, and a wave of range attacks smashed down at the same time. Xiao Ke immediately summoned the King of Taishan, placed an oil pan on the cloud, and grabbed the elk in the central area operated by Shao Dongyang and threw it into the oil pan——
Nirvana's strategy is very obvious. First, kill all the cards inside the "回" area, then deal with the cards on the small clouds outside, and open a gap from the inside to the outside.
This "inside-out" approach really worked.
In the blink of an eye, the deck of cards on the Cloud of Judgment was surrounded by Nirvana's cards, and the casualties increased!
But at the same time, Shanlan was not idle either.
His bird card has the fastest movement speed in the entire alliance. It only takes a few seconds to fly in the air and circle the map.
After the golden eagle was killed by Princess Iron Fan, he immediately summoned the vulture -
This raptor card has a very strong attack and a unique skill mechanism. It can grab the target with its claws and fly it high into the sky. The target will be dizzy for 3 seconds due to fear of heights and lose 5% of its health per second. After 3 seconds, the target will fall to the ground and lose an additional 15% of its health.
In normal maps, Vulture will cause 30% damage to a single target and stun it for 3 seconds, usually used to control the opponent's core card. But now it is an air combat map.
Falling to the ground? Falling to the ground here means certain death.
Shanlan was very flexible in controlling the vulture. He went straight over and grabbed the card King Tarzan that Yu Ke had placed on the periphery. After circling in the sky for 3 seconds, he threw King Tarzan into the gap between the clouds. King Tarzan fell from the clouds and died instantly!
Following closely, Shanlan’s bird brand Falcon and Egret appeared at the same time.
Falcon is also a single attack card, diving to attack, knocking back the target 2 meters, and the claw machine adds bleeding effect. He specifically picks cards on the small clouds to repel, so that the distance of 2 meters is enough to make the opponent fall from the clouds. The egret is similar to the vulture, but the vulture is a forced control for 3 seconds, while the egret will make the opponent rise to the sky for 5 seconds and lose blood.
With the cooperation of these bird cards, the cards on the small clouds outside Nirvana also suffered heavy casualties.
Tang Muzhou frowned when he saw this: "This map is in the shape of a Chinese character '回'. Nirvana plays from the center outwards, and Judge plays from the outside inwards. The cards of both sides look about the same now. It depends on who can destroy the opponent first."
The main force is on the central cloud, and the scattered troops are on the surrounding clouds.
Eliminating the main force will widen the gap and establish a huge advantage, so Nirvana's strategy of playing from the middle to the outside is very reasonable. However, the scattered soldiers on the periphery are usually cards with strong individual combat capabilities and high mobility. Even if the main force in the middle is destroyed, it may be possible to win by relying on individual combat!
The tactical thinking of both sides is very clear.
This match was extremely thrilling. From time to time, cards would be dropped from the clouds by Shanlan's vulture, or blown off the clouds by Xie Mingzhe's Iron Fan Princess. Because Chen Xiao's one-to-three operation created a 2-card difference, and the attack skills of Shanlan's bird cards had a cooldown limit, when the match went on for 3 minutes, both sides had only 10 cards left!
10:10, half of the cards were killed.
In the last game, only one card was lost from both sides after 5 minutes. This game lasted only 3 minutes, but 20 cards were lost. This shows how fast the pace of the air combat kill map is!
No matter how high your defense is or how much health you have, if you slip and fall from the clouds you will die.
Careful spectators also discovered that the cards on the central cloud of Judgment had been completely destroyed, with the 10 surviving cards scattered everywhere. There were only 5 cards left in the central area of Nirvana, and 5 cards left in the surrounding area, which seemed to have an advantage in the formation.
However, the next moment, Shanlan suddenly summoned the bird card - Flamingo!
This is a social animal. A Flamingo card can summon five small Flamingos, each inheriting 20% of the attributes of the main card and causing continuous fire attacks to the target it follows.
The design of the Flamingo was inspired by Shao Dongyang's summoning card. Shanlan left the main card far away from the opponent, and the five summoned birds followed the opponent to deal continuous fire burning damage.
When Xie Mingzhe saw Flamingo come out to replenish the output, he knew that dragging it out was not a solution. While the vulture was dying, he simply summoned Hou Yi and shot nine arrows in a row, directly killing Shanlan's vulture.
If the vulture continues to be alive and keeps grabbing cards and throwing them to death, Nirvana will definitely be in danger.
The death of the Vultures means that Nirvana does not have to worry about being controlled by Shanlan's displacement for the time being. Although Falcon and Egret also have displacement control, Falcon's knockback is only 2 meters. As long as the card stays on the large cloud with a diameter of more than 4 meters, Falcon will not be able to push the card down; Egret's Ascension on the Spot, the card will still be at the original coordinates after flying up. Although it is scary to continue, at least there will be no danger of falling.
The death of the vultures made the situation even more unfavorable for the judge.
However, gradually, Su Yang found something wrong: "Wait... the referee decides this move?"
Wu Yue, who had a bird's-eye view of the situation, also noticed it and immediately became excited: "Is the ruling an attempt to counter-encircle the enemy?!"
In this game, Shao Dongyang played as a support, and Nirvana had to prioritize dealing with Nie Yuandao's high-attack beast cards and Shanlan's annoying bird cards that controlled displacement. Therefore, the newcomer Li Jiu's small animals were temporarily ignored.
Firstly, killing small animals is too tiring. If you have the time to catch the small animals running around, you might as well focus on other cards. Secondly, the biggest threat to Nirvana is the cards of Master Nie Lan and his apprentice, so when fighting in a team, you naturally have to solve the biggest threat first.
There was nothing obviously wrong with this idea, but by this point, Xie Mingzhe also realized that something was wrong.
Although he couldn't look down at the map from a bird's eye view and see the overall layout of the referee, his keen sense of the playing field told him that Li Jiu's little animal suddenly started to move quickly, which was definitely not a good sign!
Xie Mingzhe alertly ordered: "Disperse!"
But he was still one step behind.
At this time, the cards of both sides have become 9:9. Shanlan's Vulture is shot by Hou Yi, and Nirvana's one remaining card is surrounded and killed by Flamingo. Nirvana has 5 cards concentrated in the middle area of the "回" shape. Because the area of this cloud reaches 10 square meters, Shanlan's Falcon cannot knock back the cards from the cloud by 2 meters, which is relatively safer.
But it was precisely this position that gave the referee the opportunity—
The little hamsters come from all directions and release skills, locking the feet of those within the range and preventing them from moving for 5 seconds!
The nimble little white rabbit suddenly jumped onto the big cloud and slapped the opponent with its fleshy paws, causing continuous normal attack damage; the little Teddy followed closely, and the powerful little Teddy didn't care at all that the person in front of him was more than ten times larger than him. He went crazy and bit everyone he saw, and every move was a critical hit!
Shan Lan then summoned the last card - White Crane.
The beautiful bird spread its snow-white wings and flew slowly through the air.
All friendly targets in the White Crane's flight path receive the White Crane's blessing, and a fire shield appears on their bodies, which can resist any type of control once and continuously increase their attack power. If they are in normal attack mode, their attack speed will increase by an additional 10% per second.
Xie Mingzhe: “…”
He was fooled by Lao Nie!
In the first game, Nirvana started out playing slowly, but his style suddenly changed at the end, and he defeated his opponent in one wave.
In the second game, Nie Shen did the opposite. He started the game very fast. After a few operations, dumplings fell from the sky continuously. Many cards were knocked down from the clouds and smashed into card paste. In 3 minutes, 20 cards were killed. The pace was amazingly fast. But in the last game, the referee suddenly stabilized. Shan Lan actually brought out a super auxiliary bird card, White Crane. He brought 6 bird cards in this game!
Xie Mingzhe attacked from the center outwards, annihilated the main force in the central area, and then defeated the outer areas one by one.
The Judge, on the other hand, attacked from the outside to the inside. When the cards on the periphery of Nirvana were almost wiped out, the Judge suddenly used the agility of the little animals to launch a "reverse encirclement"!
In the U-shaped battle map, Shan Lan and Li Jiu are the real main forces.
Li Jiu's little animals came out in the aftermath and cooperated with Shan Lan in a war of attrition - the little white rabbit, the little hamster, and the little Teddy, each one looked cuter than the other, but each one was more ferocious than the other in fighting power!
The cards in the central area of Nirvana were eventually worn out. Although Xie Mingzhe quickly dealt with Shanlan's flying birds, Li Jiu's three small animal cards were too flexible and difficult to kill, so they finally survived to the end.
——Who would have thought that this inconspicuous newcomer would be the highlight of this game.
Nie Yuandao's reverse encirclement strategy was completely different from his previous violent suppression style in the ultimate kill map, and Xie Mingzhe was defeated with conviction.
Although Nirvana prepared for the air combat map for a long time before the game, the adjudicated air combat was still very strong.
If we want to defeat them in the air battle map, we may have to wait until next season.
When Xiao Ke saw the word "failure", he felt very guilty and lowered his head and said, "If my Nie Xiaoqian hadn't been killed in the first round, we might have won this round."
Xie Mingzhe said calmly, "It's okay. You can't be blamed entirely. Their tactics for this game were already determined. I also made mistakes in commanding. Brother Chen played very well in this game. All three of us had problems."
Chen Xiao smiled and said: "If we win, it's everyone's credit. If we lose, it's everyone's responsibility. There's no need to blame anyone - it's just 1:1, just start from the beginning."
As the oldest player on the team, Brother Chen really played a role in stabilizing the morale of the team at critical moments.
After hearing what he said, Xiao Ke and Qin Xuan perked up. Xie Mingzhe also smiled slightly, patted his two teammates on the shoulders, and said, "The third game is our home court. Come on, everyone, grab the match point!"
