Where Did They Go?
The five players in Mirror City were extremely nervous at this moment.
Their idea to emulate Xiao Fan's early game invasion of the jungle was a spur-of-the-moment decision.
They hadn't thought it would be difficult when Saint Yuan Venerable recounted the details of Xiao Fan's invasion, but now that they were actually doing it, they found it wasn't so simple.
In the initial invasion phase, the player's hiding position and the timing of their appearance are both crucial.
Right now, the five members of Mirror City are almost at the location of the first monster.
The five people exchanged glances.
Is it now in the past, or will it be in a while?
According to Saint Yuan Venerable, the best time is to approach when the opponent has only a sliver of health left, so that you can kill both the monster and the player.
If you're lucky, it'll take off right away.
"Wait a little longer."
In the Mirror City team, the strongest player, Zong Heng, whispered.
In the early stages, players' levels are low, so killing monsters is naturally slow. Since there are only three players in the Dragon Nation yet, he figured he could wait a while.
The others nodded, and the five of them crouched not far from the monster. Separated by a natural stone wall, they couldn't see what was happening on the monster's side, and could only estimate the time in their minds.
In the live broadcast footage outside of the match.
The three from the Dragon Nation were engaged in a fierce battle against monsters, and the first Recovery Monster had already been reduced to half health.
Meanwhile, the players in Mirror City were still crouching near the monsters, waiting for the right time.
"Are they idiots? If they're going to attack, then attack! If not, they should go back! Invading the jungle and then just sitting here too scared to move, what kind of brain-dead people are they?"
Quan Zhong was furious; he retracted his earlier thought!
At first, he thought that the geniuses in Mirror City were indeed different, knowing how to apply what they learned to other situations.
Who would have thought they were five complete idiots?
The current situation is clear to everyone: as long as Jiu Chen and his two companions take down the first Recovery Monster before the Mirror City team can react, they will have the advantage.
Xiao Fan's decisive monster-hunting move made Quan Zhong suspect that Xiao Fan had already considered that the Mirror City players were not present when he invaded the jungle.
So, in this opening move, Xiao Fan wasn't being tricked.
He not only evaded the invasion of the Mirror City players, but also gained an advantage by decisively fighting monsters.
On the other hand, Mirror City gained nothing from the initial invasion and wasted their development time.
If they can react quickly and return to their own jungle or directly fight the jungle monsters in the Dragon Nation, they might have a chance to develop on an equal footing because of their numbers. If they are late, it will be too late.
"Phew~"
Shen Long closed his eyes, no longer wanting to look.
"Jiu Chen is terrifying!"
Shen Long had to admit that if he were a player from Mirror City, he would definitely be crouching and waiting for you, just like the five people on the Sky Screen.
He really couldn't understand why Jiu Chen was so confident and decisive. Wasn't he afraid that someone was lying in wait nearby?
The situation changed too quickly. Just a moment ago, everyone thought that the initial invasion of the jungle by both sides was a balanced game, but in the blink of an eye, the Dragon Nation had gained a complete advantage.
The Dragon Nation Observation Group were all beaming with joy.
Xiao Fan truly never disappoints!
They initially thought this game wouldn't have the same amazing start as the last one, but they were proven wrong in the blink of an eye.
Hahaha, that was a perfect slap in the face! They love being slapped in the face!
On the Sky Screen above, the match continued.
Xiao Fan and his two companions had already reduced the enemy's health by 70%, while on the Mirror City side, the five people finally decided to step forward.
When the five people rushed to the monster, they only saw the monster at full health guarding its territory.
Where are they?
Zong Heng was dumbfounded.
This scene isn't what he expected!
Where are the players from Dragon Nation? Why aren't they fighting monsters here?!
The players in Mirror City searched everywhere but couldn't find a single person.
"Captain, what do we do now?"
The others looked at Zong Heng.
Zong Heng looked displeased.
What to do? He knows what to do.
He was trying to copy Xiao Fan's strategy of invading the enemy jungle at the start of the game, but he didn't know what to do if the invasion failed.
"Why don't we go back?"
One player cautiously looked around.
The players from the Dragon Nation aren't farming monsters here; they're definitely lying in ambush nearby.
But then, Zong Heng suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
The players from the Dragon Nation aren't here; it's highly likely they chose to invade their jungle at the start of the game.
Thinking of this, Zong Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
Although their invasion failed, didn't the other side also fail to invade?
It's fair to say that both sides wasted a little time at the start, but it's not a big problem.
"Let's go back."
He Zong Heng led his men back to defend the city.
The focus in the early stages of the game is still on developing your character.
First, defeat monsters to level up and increase your attributes, then collect Soul Crystal, and finally engage in battles and sealing.
Seeing Zong Heng begin to return to the jungle, the players on the Mirror City Server had their eyes light up.
"Walk faster, walk faster!"
At this moment, Xiao Fan and his two companions were still fighting monsters. The monsters only had 20% of their health left, and the three of them were also in poor condition.
If the five players from Mirror City get back quickly, they might actually be able to snatch up the loot, achieving the same effect as invading the jungle.
Unfortunately, due to the Puppet's incompleteness, one player couldn't keep up with its speed.
To accommodate this player, Zong Heng didn't move too fast.
No matter how anxious the players outside the game are, it's useless.
At that moment, Xiao Fan, who was fighting monsters, seemed to sense something and his monster-fighting speed increased.
At first, he chose to kite the monsters to maintain his health. Unfortunately, when choosing the Puppet Shen Beiwu and Chen Xuewei had already chosen the tanky Warrior and the healer.
Xiao Fan and his two companions—a Swordsman, an Assassin, and an Archer —none of them were particularly strong, but fortunately, they were faster at killing monsters.
This is also why Xiao Fan dared to take action.
But now, he felt that time needed to be even faster, so Xiao Fan stopped trying to hold back and instead took the damage from the monsters head-on.
Although this results in taking more damage, it also increases the speed at which you kill monsters.
Outside the competition, everyone held their breath; inside, Xiao Fan and his two companions were moving faster and faster, while only the five from Mirror City were advancing steadily.
Finally, before the Mirror City team arrived, Xiao Fan and his two companions managed to kill the monster.
The monsters' healing buffs gradually restored Xiao Fan and his companions' health.
However, Xiao Fan and his two companions did not leave, but instead hid behind a large tree near another monster.
Before long, Zong Heng led the Mirror City team back to their own jungle.
Seeing the empty area where the monsters had been restored, the players from Mirror City looked bewildered.
Where is our Recovery Monster?
They quickly realized that the monster had been attacked!
"Impossible! How could they have attacked so quickly?"
Zong Heng refused to believe it. The player Puppet's attributes increased with level, and a level one player's attributes were limited. How could they possibly defeat the enemy so quickly? Not to mention that there were only three players from the Dragon Nation.
"That's outrageous! Why are players from the Dragon Nation attacking our monsters? Don't they have any of their own?"
"A player from Mirror City said angrily."
Zong Heng glared fiercely at that player.
What kind of brain-dead statement is this?
Although it was also what he was thinking.
