The resurrection time for the first death in escort mode was 5 seconds. After the countdown, Qin Mo and Xiao Han were resurrected one after another. Everyone immediately assembled and rushed towards the direction of the escort team.
At this time, the escort team had already walked through the middle of the map, getting closer to the end point in the lower right corner.
Mojue’s players caught up with the escort team at the fastest speed.
On the big screen, the camera swept over the players on both sides, and the audience was surprised to find that everyone in National Grace was in full blood and blue state. Just now, the live view followed Mojue’s players, and everyone saw that they had returned to the resurrection point to recover. It was normal to be full of blood and blue … But why were National Grace’s players also in full condition?
The director brought up the video from National Grace’s perspective just now——it turned out that after Mojue’s retreat, National Grace’s players actually left the escort and collectively returned to the resurrection point!
Regarding this decision, Chu Jianxin couldn’t help but vomit. “Sister Junru is really courageous! Isn’t she worried that the Mojue’s trio will return and attack their escorts?”
Just after Qingyue sent Shen He and Liu Hong away, Li Junru immediately sent all the players back to the town to recover. If Mojue’s trio came back to hit, the escort team had no protection, it would be very easy for Shen He and Liu Hong to kill the escort.
However, Li Junru was betting Qin Mo would retreat, and she was indeed right.
Sang Jun smiled. “Li Junru is both bold and careful, we used to underestimate this girl. After returning to the town, Mojue needs 5 seconds to wait for the resurrection of Han Mo, while after returning to the town, National Grace doesn’t need to wait for the resurrection of his teammates. There is a time difference of 5 seconds between them. She will definitely use this time difference to do some tricks.”
Chu Jianxin touched his chin. “In that case, whether National Grace went back to fill their blood and blue or not, it’s not affect the protection of the escorts at all.”
“En.” Sang Jun nodded. “And the escort team will act on a fixed route, and even if they are not around to protect them, the speed of the guards will not be affected. Junru’s idea to go back and recover is very smart, so that in the second wave of the team battle, the players of the national color will not fall into a disadvantage because of insufficient skills.”
Both sides were full of blood and blue, and their skills were all reset. In the second team battle, National Grace had the ability to compete with Mojue, instead of being pressed.
***
Qin Mo’s chosen secret book in this game, except for ‘Pivoting Heart Sutra’, which had just been used by Qingyue, was all output. In the first team battle, Xiao Han used the output secret book ‘Bloody Hand’ to kill the escort, but other players’ secret books were still there.
At the beginning of this team battle, Qin Mo resolutely instructed. “Kill the chief escort with all your strength, don’t save the secret books!”
Compared with the first wave of team battle, this one was much easier to fight——because there was only one escort and one chief escort left on the field.
But at this time, Qingyue had no time to use the invisible array.
The reason was that National Grace had the advantage of a 5 seconds time difference, by the time Mojue’s players came, Cheng Yuqing had already been invisible and was ready in advance, appearing decisively at the moment when Zhu Qingyue casted a skill. A critical attack of ‘Deadly Ice Silkworm’ interrupted Qingyue’s casting, and at the same time, she used the illusion control skill ‘Phantom Dreaming’ to disturb Qingyue’s field of vision.
Qingyue’s invincible array didn’t come out, and National Grace began to attack with all their strength.
‘Heartbroken Grass’, ‘Red Crane’s Crown’, ‘Mandala Petals’, ‘Thunder Duke Vine’—— Li Junru and An Ling spread poisonous powder, mixing it to cause blindness. Suddenly, a southwest wind was blown in Orchid Valley map, which accelerated the spread of poisonous powder and increased the scope, so that all Mojue’s players were affected by poisoning.

At the same time, An Ling opened the secret book ‘Scattered Broken Soul’, a large-scale poison attack damage, causing the poisoning state on all Mojue’s players to stack up to six layers in one breath!

Qin Mo also trained this Orchid Valley map with his team members before. In his concept, this was a simple plain map with wide vision and flat terrain. Because no one played Fangcao Hall’s poison master, the wind characteristic of this map was ignored by many people.
In the game, the officials created a gentle breeze on Orchid Valley map in order to create a romantic atmosphere for players to take pictures. After all, the orchids of various colors were motionless, which was far less vivid than the orchids swaying in the wind all over the mountains.
The breeze would hardly have any effect on the game, but the premise was that there was no poison master in the team.
This map had never appeared in previous competitions, probably because many male players didn’t like to play in such flowery scenes. There were many plain and valley maps similar to this map, so the priority of Orchid Valley map was very, very low when the captains of major teams chose the map.
However, by choosing this colourful map today, Li Junru had produced an unexpected result!
With the wind’s help, the scope of poisonous powder of National Grace’s double poison in the air had been greatly increased, and the speed had also been greatly accelerated!
Perceiving something wrong, Xiao Han decisively used ‘Golden Cicada Shell’ skill to teleport out of the poisonous powder’s range, and Qin Mo also teleported with ‘Drifting Sword’, but before Liu Hong and Shen He had time to move, Li Junru and An Ling’s ‘Arsenic Frost’ single-output poison explosive skill hit at the same time!
The poison master’s single-output big move could make the poisoning effect on the target to take effect immediately and trigger a poisonous critical hit.
Generally speaking, Fangcao Hall poison master’s style of play was to poison the opponent’s body first, and then stack it to more than three layers, and then hit extremely high damage with the outbreak skill of ‘Arsenic Frost’.
Li Junru and An Ling were a pair of partners who had a tacit understanding. The speed their double poison flow was extremely fast. In addition, An Ling also brought this poison attack secret book. At this time, the poisoning effect of Liu Hong and Shen He had reached six layers. After being hit by the poison explosion skill of ‘Arsenic Frost’, both of them had only a trace of blood left…
Seeing that they were about to be killed, the audience who watched the live broadcast all their heart almost jumped out to their throat. Fortunately, Qingyue finally got rid of Cheng Yuqing’s interference by relying on his movement skill and used the invisible array of the ‘Cyan Rain Curtain’!
Liu Hong and Shen He were hanging with a trace of residual blood and broke out the highest hand speed to attack the escort who had been healer by the opposite side. The secret books and skills were all used. Xiao Han and Qin Mo were there to help, and the four joined hands to empty the blood volume of the escort directly in one breath!
However, the invincible array could only protect them for 5 seconds. As soon as the array effect was over, Liu Hong and Shen He, who had only one breath left, were still quite dangerous.
Liu Hong decisively put down a row of traps and quickly hid behind. Shen He also summoned a mechanical blood cow to help him resist the damage…
However, Cheng Yuqing suddenly opened five shadows at this time—— only the black shadows were seen moving chaotically, trampling all the traps laid by Liu Hong!
This exquisite operation ushered in warm applause from the audience.
Her teammate Zhou Min, following the shadows to cut through the battle. Raising the double swords in her hand to kill Liu Hong in residual blood with ‘Endless Light Sword’. Then, she turned around and used the follow up skill ‘Sword Without Shadow’ and ‘Bloodsucking Sword’ to kill Shen He’s mechanical cow. Li Junru in the distance sprinkled the poison powder to collect Shen He’s head.
The girls at the scene screamed with excitement!
“National Grace fought impressively today!” Ye Chao also laughed. “Just now Cheng Yuqing used the shadows to step on the trap and let her teammates attack from behind the shadows, this awareness is really quite good. Obviously, they have specially studied Liu Hong’s habit of arranging traps. Cheng Yuqing should also practice the operation of stepping on traps with shadows many times.”
“This Zhou Min used to appear as a meat shield,” Liang Ru continued the conversation. “But today, she changed to the output double swords flow, cutting down her opponent mercilessly. Junru has hid this rare double-build player for a long time.”
“Liu Hong and Shen He are dead, Han-Mo is in a relatively bad state now. The good news is that all the escorts are dead, leaving only the chief escort.” Ye Chao concluded.
The current situation was not very optimistic for Mojue. The only thing that was gratifying was that there was only one chief escort left.
This chief escort had twice the health than the ordinary escort. Even with Qingyue’s array, and Han-Mo’s joint attack, it was not easy to kill him in one breath. What’s more, the National Grace’s players kept interrupting their output, and the healer kept healing the chief escort…
As long as the escort didn’t die, the wagon would continue to move towards the end. If it went on like this, they might not be able to kill the chief escort when the wagon reaches the end.
Thinking of this carefully, Qin Mo made a decision. “Return! And come back as soon as possible after the resurrection.”
Recovering at this time was a very risky move, because if they couldn’t catch up before the wagon reached the finish line, they would lose.
But if they didn’t go back, Mojue’s trio would fight against National Grace’s five players. With Han-Mo’s blood remaining, they couldn’t get advantage. It was very likely that National Grace would have another set of outbreaks and also killed Qin Mo and Xiao Han. In that case it would be more difficult to fight.
It would be better to go back full of blood and blue, regrouping and fighting the last wave of attack.
The bet was on the last team battle!
Five second later, Liu Hong and Shen He were resurrected, and the others were fully recharged. Then, they rushed to the escort’s position with qinggong skill.
At this time, the wagon transporting the goods was only 50 meters away from the finish line, so they had to make a quick decision and kill the chief escort to rob the goods.
Mojue’s players broke out at the highest hand speed. With Qingyue’s buff array, they smashed all the skills to the chief escort!
Even if National Grace’s healer was frantically adding blood to the chief escort, his health continued to decline, falling to about 30% in the twinkling of an eye.
The escort’s wagon was only 10 meters away from the finish line!
The audience held their breath nervously, and the distance of 10 meters seemed to turn into a slow motion shot in the movie!
Zhou Min held the double sword in her hand, using ‘Asura’ secret book to interfere with Xiao Han. This secret book wasn’t the most harmful among the single output secret books, but its characteristic was that it could trigger a disabling effect when it hit the target, this effect could make people lose combat power for 3 seconds!
Mojue’s most powerful output was Xiao Han, being affected by the secret book would greatly reduce Mojue’s combat power.
Li Junru and An Ling still stood in the distance and sprinkled poison powder. Both sides fought fiercely.
The escort team was only the last 5 meters away from the finish line!
At this time, Li Junru and An Ling attacked at the same time, using a set of combo and once again causing a blindness effect! Qingyue immediately used the release control skill to solve the blindness. As soon as Mojue’s players were about to catch up with them, Chang Wenxuan suddenly opened the secret book ‘Merging Water and Sky’—— a wide range of water fog suddenly emerged, slowing down all of Mojue’s players.
At the same time, the escort team was accelerated. After a short 3 seconds of deceleration and acceleration effect, with only 2% left of the chief escort’s health, the wagon was successfully escorted to the destination!
—— National Grace victory!
Seeing this news popped up on the big screen, many audiences jumped up with excitement, and the palms of several female players sitting in the soundproof room were also full of sweat.
It was too thrilling, just 2% of the blood volume left! If Xiao Han wasn’t affected by the disability secret book, or if Mojue had used two more output skills, the chief escort would die!
Seeing this scene, Qin Mo was also helpless.
These girls really played well today, and they deserved to win this game.
Li Junru made a very fine arrangement and full preparation before the game. No matter from the map selection, secret books selection or overall tactical arrangement, she had spent a lot of effort. Zhou Min’s existance gave Qin Mo the illusion that they would play defense, and the map’s wind characteristic was also a detail that Qin Mo had not considered before…
In this round, Qin Mo didn’t feel regretful though he could win by emptying a little bit of blood.
Because this game was very enjoyable, both sides had tried their best in three consecutive team battles. Compared with the game of abusing vegetables, Qin Mo preferred such a hearty game.
Moreover, he was very happy for his masters. National Grace’s team made much faster progress than he had expected, and Li Junru’s ability to lead the team really impressed many captains, which showed that after Xu Lin fell and Ling-Cat took over the club, the girls, who had suffered so much, finally lived through the cold winter and ushered in their summer.
Their masters would probably be very pleased to know this result, right?
Qin Mo graciously sent a thumb emoticon on the public screen along with a text: “It was a beautiful fight.”
“God Mo is flattering me.” Li Junru sent a smile.
Qin Mo stood up from his seat and calmly returned to the bench to sit down.
Xiao Han thoughtfully brought a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the lid and handed it to him. “Come and have a drink,” he smiled.
Qin Mo took it and was about to drink it when Xiao Han continued. “In those days, Liu Chuan’s Dragon Song was defeated by National Beauty team; Later, my master’s Canglan was defeated by the Red Fox team; Today, we lost another round to the National Grace team. It feels like a curse.”
“A curse??” Qin Mo was puzzled.
“The girls’ line of thought was different from us, it’s hard to guess!” Xiao Han replied seriously. “A lot of strong teams have fallen in the hands of girls.”
Qin Mo thought about it carefully and felt that there was some truth in what Xiao Han said.
He really didn’t guess Li Junru’s thoughts at all, but the next round was Mojue’s home game. Li Junru might not be able to guess his thoughts either.
Lmao, I still kinda recall when Catgod was pitted by the Red Fox team captain (what was her name again?). They all have trouble understanding the girls thoughts… 🤣
Though I like to see Qin Mo getting pitted, I don’t want to see him lose. Qin Mo, come on~~! (ง’̀-‘́)ง
Thank you for the chapter 💜💜💜
Her name is Liu Xiang, Mojue’s team leader lol 🤣
Girls’ thought is a mystery 😏
You’re welcome~ ❤
Ahh, that’s right… 😳🤭 Lmao, I thought of that other girl but she after all long retired when Catgod made a comeback. I mixed them up. 🤣
Lol, that’s right, if it’s me to play this game, I’ll change one attack secret book to release control book, but it’s okay for National Grace win this, they deserve it 😘
