As soon as the game started, the players on both sides quickly dispersed.
Xie Mingzhe brought two unexpected functional cards in this game, all of which were placed among the hidden cards - the first was Shi Xiu, whose 1st skill "Pathfinder" could expose traps and the opponent's invisible targets, and whose 2nd skill "Undercover" could allow him to hide and lurk in the enemy camp and gain the opponent's vision; the second card was Dai Zong, the Speedy Walker, whose range was accelerated by 500%.
Nirvana always summoned hidden cards at critical moments to catch his opponent off guard. This time, Xie Mingzhe actually summoned two hidden cards at the beginning. Su Yang was very surprised and said, "Xie Mingzhe brought two functional cards, Shi Xiu and Dai Zong. One is for reconnaissance and the other is for acceleration... It seems that he is going to play a flexible guerrilla war this time."
Wu Yue said: "The four people from Nirvana have completely dispersed. Chen Xiao went east, Xiao Ke went west, Qin Xuan went due north, and Xie Mingzhe went in a big circle from the outside. This formation is like a completely dispersed fan!"
——Fan-shaped movement is practiced frequently in daily training.
Teammates seem to be spread out in a fan shape, but they will maintain a distance that allows them to take care of each other. Qin Xuan's auxiliary card is on the center line, and he can quickly follow anyone whose card needs treatment.
Fenghua's side was also scattered, and looking down from a bird's eye view, it could be seen that Chen Xiao was about to face Xu Changfeng, Yu Ke was about to face Zhen Man's snake card, and Qin Xuan would face Tang Muzhou and Shen An, the master and apprentice, who were coming head-on.
Tang and Shen did not separate, but kept a distance of about 5 meters and walked together towards the south, getting closer and closer to Qin Xuan.
Xie Mingzhe walked around in a big circle alone, and all the places he walked into were blind spots.
Since Shi Xiu and Dai Zong were summoned at the beginning, under Dai Zong's range acceleration, his card gained a brief flying speed. Shi Xiu activated the undercover skill and quickly lurked in the middle of the stone formation. As long as the opponent's card appeared, he could gain vision of the opponent's card.
Soon, the invisible Shi Xiu saw Tang Muzhou and Shen An's cards coming to the middle of the stone formation.
Xie Mingzhe immediately gave the command: "Tang and Shen will form a team. Brother Chen and Xiao Ke will only encounter one person, and if they do, they will fight directly. Qin Xuan will be in the middle to withstand the pressure, and I will go around and surround him from behind."
He said this very calmly.
Although he did not have a God's perspective, Shi Xiu's existence gave him a certain God's perspective.
——Vision is the key to the obstacle map.
Chen Qianlin was very pleased to see Azhe's operation.
When he suddenly encountered the map of the wasteland stone array, he was able to calmly replace the two functional cards, Shi Xiu and Dai Zong, which had no offensive power, and seize the advantage of vision. Ah Zhe did quickly grasp the core of the obstacle battle.
At this time, on the west side of the map, Zhen Man's bamboo-leaf green snake passed a turn and suddenly met Nie Xiaoqian, who was dressed in white and had long flowing hair. Zheng Feng couldn't help but complain: "It's like I met a ghost around the corner!"
The audience burst into laughter. Yu Ke was stunned for a second, then immediately launched an attack. Zhen Man was also not polite and summoned a group of snakes to surround them.
To the east, Chen Xiao and Xu Changfeng met face to face after passing the winding stone pillars.
The two sides launched a fierce battle without hesitation!
Chen Xiao vs Xu Changfeng, dark plants versus poisonous flowers.
In this game, Chen Xiao brought a plant called "Black Elderberry" which has the effect of dyeing and bleeding, and can throw the fruit to an area to continuously dye. He planted the Black Elderberry in the middle of Xu Changfeng's card, quickly stacking bleeding on both cards. "Blood Rose" from the same series as this card also has the function of stacking bleeding. With the two cards working together, the bleeding effect was stacked to five layers at once.
Canna and Mr. Mei are both single output cards with blood-sucking attacks. Although the blood-sucking vine is an area-attack blood-sucking healing card, its vines can extend flexibly on the ground - sometimes left, sometimes right, sometimes forward, sometimes backward. The black and red blood-sucking vines grow rapidly, and in a blink of an eye, they surround Xu Changfeng's cards!
Chen Xiao's operation was extremely fast, and he deserved to be the third place winner in the individual competition.
But Xu Changfeng was no pushover either. He used the illusion of Epiphyllum to control the illusion within a 30-meter range, causing Chen Xiao to temporarily lose his vision. He quickly bypassed a stone pillar and threw petals from the side - the poison accumulated to five layers in a blink of an eye!
One side is bleeding, the other side is poisonous, and both sides' cards are losing blood rapidly.
After the illusion control ended, Chen Xiao regained his vision. He could not see Xu Changfeng's cards, and Xu Changfeng could not see him either.
The two of them moved quickly in the stone maze. The audience from the bird's eye view saw them standing back to back across the huge rock, and they were all worried for them. The next moment, both of them turned around at the same time.
——I turned around and saw that my opponent was right behind me?!
Both of them were obviously stunned.
But Chen Xiao reacted very quickly, and the blood-sucking vines crawled over in the blink of an eye, followed by the single attack card, and quickly concentrated fire to kill Xu Changfeng's poisonous tiger thorn vine. Xu Changfeng was unwilling to fall behind, and directly used poison explosion and single burst to kill Chen Xiao's canna.
Seeing the remaining cards on the big screen become 19:19, Xie Mingzhe knew that Brother Chen must have exploded to defeat the opponent so quickly. Sure enough, Chen Xiao's voice came through the voice channel: "Xu Changfeng is dead 1, I'm dueling with him."
Xiao Ke also counted beside him: "Sister Man brought 5 snake cards. I can't beat her head-on, but I can deal with her for a while."
Xie Mingzhe thought for a moment and said, "Brother Chen, make a quick decision. After killing 3 cards, come to the middle to help Qin Xuan. Xiao Ke should try to hold him back and don't let Sister Man support the middle lane."
Yu Ke said simply: "No problem!"
Although he couldn't defeat Zhen Man head-on, it was not difficult for him to hold back her snake cards. The joker was agile and could maneuver around to intercept her venomous snakes. If he couldn't hold on, there was Meng Po. Whether it was making her Bamboo Leaf Green forget its skills or his own joker forget its damage, it could save her life at the critical moment.
Single challenges were launched simultaneously in the east and west directions.
Chen Xiao's dark plants were indeed more explosive than Xu Changfeng's flowers that slowly accumulated poison. He killed Xu Changfeng's three cards at an extremely fast speed, and then let his remaining cards go diagonally through the stone formation to find Qin Xuan.
At this time, Qin Xuan was facing the siege of Tang Muzhou and his apprentice Shen An.
Qin Xuan was also thick-skinned enough. He brought several healing cards to heal each other. Although he was beaten badly, he could not die for the time being. Seeing Brother Chen coming, he immediately cleared the poisoning status of Chen Xiao's plant card and activated a group healing skill to restore the health of Brother Chen's plant card.
At this time, Fenghua lost 4 cards, Nirvana lost 5 cards, and the card count of both sides was 16:15.
But the next moment, the card count of both sides became 14:15 - Fenghua lost 6 cards, and Nirvana overtook by 1 card.
Su Yang said excitedly: "Xie Mingzhe is cutting off the retreat route on the opposite side!"
It was indeed Xie Mingzhe.
At the beginning, he relied on Dai Zong's acceleration, controlled the character card to go around in a big circle, and took a blind spot route from the outermost edge of the stone array maze. Relying on Shi Xiu's vision advantage, he went around all the way and directly outflanked Xu Changfeng from behind, killing Xu Changfeng by surprise!
Chen Xiao couldn't help but shout, "Beautiful!"
Qin Xuan was under the combined fire of Master and Apprentice Tang and Shen, and was unable to withstand the attack, so Xie Mingzhe asked Chen Xiao to go for support.
Xu Changfeng and Chen Xiao were originally fighting head-on. Halfway through the fight, Chen Xiao ran away, so Xu Changfeng naturally chased him.
Once he gave chase, he would be exposed to the visual position set up by Xie Mingzhe using Shi Xiu.
Xie Mingzhe had already circled nearby, so he could clearly see where Xu Changfeng's cards were. He used the stone pillars as cover and moved quickly. The agile Yan Qing teleported over, and the sound of the flute rang out. The prodigal son turned back and immediately killed Xu Changfeng's two low-life cards.
Xu Changfeng almost cursed: "Oh my god, your junior brother is so elusive!"
He didn't even see where Xie Mingzhe was before he was killed instantly by the opponent unexpectedly. Xu Changfeng was very unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
Tang Muzhou said calmly: "Report his location."
Xu Changfeng immediately reported the coordinates.
Tang Muzhou left 1 attack card to cooperate with Shen An, and he controlled 4 plant cards to quickly kill from the side.
Xie Mingzhe originally wanted to continue to go around to the back and work together with Xiao Ke to kill Zhen Man's snake card, but just as he went around a stone pillar -
Su Yang: "Hahaha, love is around the corner!"
In the live broadcast room: "..."
When Zhen Man met Xiao Ke, it was like meeting a ghost around the corner. When Xie Mingzhe met Tang Muzhou, Su Yang said it was like meeting love around the corner. Senior, aren't you treating them too differently?
Su Yang didn't expect that his words actually revealed the truth - it was indeed love at the corner.
Xie Mingzhe wanted to launch a sneak attack, but ended up running into his senior brother head-on, which was awkward.
The moment he went around the stone pillar and saw his senior brother's beautiful iris, Xie Mingzhe was stunned for a moment and retreated immediately.
Just faced off against Tang Muzhou?
Just kidding, this is a team battle and he has to take care of his teammates. He can't be held back by his senior.
Seeing his junior fellow apprentice running away quickly, Tang Muzhou naturally would not let him go and chased after him decisively.
However, Xie Mingzhe had Dai Zong's team accelerating, and at this time, Dai Zong's advantage as an accelerating function card was revealed - Tang Muzhou could not catch up with the accelerating junior brother at all, and lost his vision after a few steps.
Seeing that he had gotten rid of his senior brother, Xie Mingzhe was secretly delighted and quickly went to the rear to meet up with Yu Ke.
The two men attacked from the front and back, and the situation where Yu Ke was suppressed by Zhen Man's snake card was reversed in an instant.
Zhen Man originally had a 1 for 2 trade, sacrificing Bamboo Leaf Green to kill Xiao Ke's 2 wild cards, and the situation was very favorable. However, as soon as Xie Mingzhe joined in, her snake cards were immediately defeated, and 4 cards were killed in a row!
But Zhen Man is also a very decisive female player. Before the Snake team was wiped out, she forcibly took away Xie Mingzhe's acceleration card Dai Zong.
——10:12!
During the time when Xie Mingzhe and Xiao Ke killed Zhen Man's 4 cards, Shen An's fruit tree in the center of the map exploded and also solved Qin Xuan's 2 auxiliary cards. At this time, Fenghua had 10 cards left and Nirvana had 12 cards left. Nirvana had 2 more cards. On Fenghua's side, Xu Changfeng and Zhen Man's cards were all killed.
Nirvana seems to have an absolute advantage.
The next moment, Xie Mingzhe summoned his third hidden card - Yang Jian!
In this map, Yang Jian is not only very powerful, but more importantly, his third skill "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" can split all terrain obstacles. It just so happens that this map has a large number of stone pillars. As long as the opponent has a large number of cards concentrated together, Yang Jian can split the stone pillars and the stone pillars will collapse, and the opponent's cards can be crushed to death, causing a small group annihilation.
Making full use of the terrain was Xie Mingzhe's first reaction as a commander.
Guerrilla warfare is the foundation of this game, but who says that we can't do a map-killing at a critical moment?
Xie Mingzhe calmly said on the command channel: "Countdown 3 seconds, get ready to disperse!"
Yang Jian came on the scene, raised the huge mountain-splitting axe in his hand, and with a move of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", he directly chopped down the largest stone pillar in the center. The audience heard a loud "bang" - the sky-supporting stone pillar suddenly collapsed, countless huge pieces of rubble fell from the sky, and the cards in the center were instantly buried by the rubble. They would all be killed in just 3 seconds!
Chen Xiao and Qin Xuan received orders from Xie Mingzhe in advance to spread out the cards. If the cards left in the middle by Shen An and Tang Muzhou were killed, then Nirvana would surely win this game.
However……
The 3-second countdown ended, and the ratio of remaining cards on the screen changed from 10:12 to 10:11.
None of Fenghua’s cards died, but one of Nirvana’s cards died?
What's happening?
The audience was collectively stunned.
Su Yang was also confused, he touched his nose and said: "Let's just watch the replay!"
The director was very considerate and replayed the scene just now - Yang Jian came out and split the mountain to save his mother. At the moment when the giant axe broke the stone pillar, Fenghua still had 5 cards left in the center of the stone formation, which were Shen An's 4 fruit trees and Tang Muzhou's 1 attack flower.
But just 0.3 seconds before the stone pillar fell, all the cards that Fenghua left in the center of the stone array suddenly disappeared!
Su Yang reacted and immediately said, "Look at Fenghua's card from a God's perspective."
Switching to a bird's-eye view to overlook the entire stone formation, the audience was shocked to find that all of Fenghua's cards were actually reversed and circled to the side and back of Xie Mingzhe and Yu Ke's cards, separated by just a stone pillar.
After the stone pillar collapsed, the huge stone blocks would completely submerge the 10×10 meter area in the direction of the collapse. Therefore, Xie Mingzhe could not see how many Fenghua cards were trapped under the rubble.
However, the moment the card number on the screen changed to 10:11, he knew something was wrong.
Fenghua didn't have any cards that were suppressed?
The card that suppressed Nirvana was Shi Xiu who was placed in the middle of the reconnaissance field and had no time to retreat!
What does this mean?
This means that Tang Muzhou guessed that he was going to use Yang Jian to chop down the stone pillar and bury the cards in the center, so he predicted it in advance and retreated in advance!
How did Fenghua withdraw?
Gardener?!
When Xie Mingzhe guessed this card, a chill suddenly ran down his spine. He immediately said, "Xiao Ke, hurry up!"
But it was too late.
There was a loud bang. A stone pillar collapsed in the area where Xie Mingzhe and Xiao Ke's cards were. The falling rocks came down like a rainstorm, submerging all the cards of the two people.
Before Tang Muzhou was buried by Xie Mingzhe, he predicted and teleported in the opposite direction to bury Xie Mingzhe!
This unexpected reversal left the audience stunned.
Originally, when seeing Yang Jian split the stone pillar to bury Fenghua's card, Nirvana's fans were ready to applaud. But after waiting for 3 seconds, the card ratio on the screen was 10:11, and Nirvana's fans' raised hands stopped stiffly in the air. Fenghua's fans didn't expect Tang Shen to counterattack like this, and they didn't prepare to applaud, so fans of both sides sat there in a daze.
In the backstage viewing area, Zheng Feng was laughing so hard that he couldn't catch his breath: "Look at the two brothers, you cheat me and I cheat you, it's really interesting, Qianlin, what kind of disciples do you bring out!"
Chen Qianlin: “…”
Because the gap in cards due to Tang Muzhou's unexpected counterattack was too big, Nirvana was unable to make up the difference, and Fenghua won the first game.
Xie Mingzhe saw the failure pop-up on the screen and took off his helmet helplessly.
Brother, this is too bad, right?
Did he guess that he would send Shi Xiu and Yang Jian, and took advantage of Shi Xiu's vision?
The audience may not understand it very well, but Senior Su Yang understood it immediately and said with a smile: "This time, Tang Muzhou actually dug a big trap for Nirvana. He guessed that Junior Brother would use Shi Xiu to detect the vision and unexpectedly break the boulder to bury them. Therefore, he deliberately missed a flaw and let Xie Mingzhe think he had seized the opportunity."
"When he chased Xie Mingzhe, he also deliberately gave Ah Zhe this illusion. In fact, he couldn't catch up with Xie Mingzhe not only because Xie Mingzhe turned on the acceleration, but also because Tang Muzhou's pursuit of the junior brother was just a superficial appearance. The real purpose was to take the opportunity to make his cards go in the opposite direction, arrange the gardener's transmission, and attack the stone pillar from the side at the same time, preparing to bury Yu Ke's joker."
"Shen An's fruit tree is a false weakness. Zhen Man is surrounded from the front and back. This is Feng Hua's real bait."
"Tang Muzhou's tactical layout is really too bad!" Su Yang finally concluded.
Chen Qianlin also thinks so.
Simply put, Xie Mingzhe wanted to bury his senior brother, but his senior brother teleported around and buried Xie Mingzhe instead.
Tang Muzhou's tactical layout is based on the premise that Xie Mingzhe will send Shi Xiu to investigate and use Yang Jian to destroy the stone pillars. Xie Mingzhe, who thought of all this, must have a clear understanding of this map.
As a senior brother, Tang Muzhou believed that Azhe could think of the key response cards and the tactics with the highest winning rate in the shortest time, and then make tactical arrangements against Xie Mingzhe's tactics.
If Xie Mingzhe doesn't react quickly enough and doesn't think of these cards, Tang Muzhou's layout will lose its effect.
In fact, Xie Mingzhe did come up with the best response strategy.
What he didn't expect was that his senior brother had set such a big trap for him - he failed at the last hurdle!
Tang Muzhou knew Xie Mingzhe too well. If it were an ordinary person, how could he say "I will make targeted arrangements based on the tactics you have thought of"? What if the opponent loses his nerve and doesn't think of it for a while, wouldn't all his arrangements be useless?
——Tang Muzhou is really confident in his junior fellow apprentice, as he is sure that Azhe will not let him down.
Fans of both sides were stunned for a long time until the score of 1:0 popped up on the big screen, and then thunderous applause broke out at the scene.
The tone of the live broadcast suddenly changed: "Why am I so excited to see my fellow apprentices pitting each other?"
"As a die-hard fan of Azhe, I am not sad at all to see him being buried by his senior brother, because I believe Azhe will definitely fight back!"
"Azhe played well, but I didn't expect Tang Shen to be so bad... so bad."
"Are there any good people in their sect?"
"Xiao An is a good person!"
"By the way, our pure and kind Shen Xiaoan must not be polluted by our grandmaster, master, or uncle."
Shen An sneezed several times in succession and rubbed his nose in confusion. Tang Muzhou glanced at his apprentice's confused expression, smiled and touched his apprentice's head, saying, "You played very well, keep it up in the second game."
Shen An nodded vigorously: "I understand, Master."
He didn't know any advanced tactics; he just knew to do whatever his master told him to do.
The director just cut the camera to the big stage.
Fenghua won the game, and the team members looked relaxed. Tang Muzhou was explaining something to his apprentice. Xu Changfeng turned around and talked to Zhen Man with a smile. Zhen Man opened a bottle of water and drank it slowly, nodding from time to time to respond to Xu Changfeng.
Although Nirvana lost the first game, the four players did not show obvious frustration on their faces, especially Xie Mingzhe, who smiled and looked very happy. After all, this loss was unexpected, not because Nirvana played badly, but because Fenghua was too bad, so there was nothing to be sad about.
Su Yang said with satisfaction: "Actually, Azhe played very well in the first game. It can only be said that Tang Muzhou's home layout wanted to be more detailed. It's no big deal if we lose. We can adjust in time for the second game. I believe that in the second game, Nirvana will definitely have an eye-catching performance at home!"
Chen Qianlin, who was watching the match from the sidelines, wanted to call for a pause, but when he saw that Azhe and the others were all fine, he sat back down.
In the second game, Nirvana has the initiative and should be able to win. Chen Qianlin has confidence in everyone.
