“What’s going on? Did something change?”
Eternal Ancestor frowned.
But soon, his brows relaxed, and he chuckled, “Hehe, I must’ve overthought it. How could anyone possibly challenge me?”
He spoke with absolute confidence.
After all, this was the confidence of a Triple Crown Winner!
As the countdown ended, both teams officially entered the Supreme Canyon.
At the Altar of the Water Tribe, a middle-aged man with a judge’s hat, a face like cold iron, a big beard, and dressed in a black and red robe, held a judge’s pen in his right hand and a dark iron hook in his left. His eyes were deep like the sea.
Above his head, the name clearly read “Immortal and Unyielding!”
This character was called the Ruthless Judge, specializing in control tactics, with explosive damage at certain times.
Eternal Ancestor led his team to victory after victory using this character.
“Let me see, what characters do they have?”
He skillfully opened the interface, and upon seeing the enemy lineup, a hint of a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
“Hehe, all low-life characters. If I’m not mistaken, that Shen Jianxin is playing jungle. If I can catch him early and deny him farm, then the initiative will be in my hands.”
Just with a glance at the lineup, Eternal Ancestor could instantly deduce the enemies’ strategy.
“Being invincible is so lonely; I’ll just make you my first target…”
And with that, both sides began to move their troops, a fierce battle quietly unfolding.
A man with a flashy hairstyle strode into the jungle, heading to a familiar spot.
“Roar!”
The silver moon wolf let out a low growl, eyes glinting with ferocity, watching this sword-wielding youth warily.
Swish!
Ye Junlin swung his sword down, but suddenly paused mid-air, lost in thought, then slowly retracted it, looking complexly at the silver moon wolf.
“Seriously, why do I always have to attack this wild creature at the start? I could just level up and take off directly; what does it matter?”
“As long as we can win, having fun is what’s most important!”
The more Ye Junlin thought about it, the more right it seemed, so he briskly departed with his sword, heading to Mid Lane where Canglang Jun was.
What he didn’t know was that moments later, three figures darted out of the grass, arriving at the spot he had just vacated.
The interval? Just a few seconds.
“Hmm?”
Eternal Ancestor saw the empty location and the unharmed silver moon wolf, a big question mark popping up over his head.
What’s going on?
Where’s that guy named Invincible and Lonely?
“Immortal and Unyielding, didn’t you say he’d be jungling here?” one of his teammates asked in disbelief.
This was the first time they had seen the usually infallible man stumble.
In the past, he had always been spot on with his predictions, as if he could foresee the future and prepare accordingly.
But now, the target he had predicted hadn’t shown up to jungle, a first for them!
Eternal Ancestor’s lips twitched a few times, feeling quite frustrated: “You ask me, who do I ask?”
Logically, with his vast experience, the first wild creature he should’ve attacked was undoubtedly the silver moon wolf; after all, it was lower level and had no powerful abilities, perfect for a first-tier newbie to solo.
But the problem was, that guy using Shen Jianxin hadn’t come to attack the silver moon wolf, which caught him off guard!
If Ye Junlin had been there, he would’ve felt a chill down his spine.
Because if he had continued jungling at that spot, he would’ve been caught right in the act by Eternal Ancestor and company, losing first blood!
Without leveling up in time, he wouldn’t have the Supreme Talent Card’s boost. In that scenario, he wouldn’t stand a chance at all.
“Could it be that guy is counter-jungling us?” At that moment, Eternal Ancestor thought of this and suddenly felt a heavy pressure.
That possibility was high!
After all, if they could come over from so far, why couldn’t others?
“Gentlemen, the enemy must have guessed our intentions and went to counter-jungle our area,” Eternal Ancestor said gravely.
“Hiss, that’s a skilled player!” his teammates exclaimed in surprise.
No wonder they were caught off guard; the opponent didn’t even plan on jungling here but had gone to their jungle instead.
Impressive, impressive, that awareness is solid!
Suddenly, another teammate’s voice came through the remote speaker: “We’ve got trouble! There’s an enemy in Mid Lane, named Invincible and Lonely!”
“What?!”
Upon receiving the news, Eternal Ancestor’s expression froze, nearly doubting his ears.
“Why would he leave the wild creature and run to Mid?” Did he go to ambush you?” Eternal Ancestor hurriedly asked for confirmation.
Soon, the reply came, tinged with a hint of peculiarity: “No, he’s just there to leech off his teammate’s minions.”
Eternal Ancestor: “???”
Running to Mid to leech minions at the start? His teammates must be furious!
“What’s so strange about this? Why is he doing that?”
Eternal Ancestor stood there racking his brains, utterly baffled by Ye Junlin’s behavior.
Leeching minions early in the game is the worst strategy, as it severely affects the teammate’s growth. As a jungler, leeching minions from a Mid Lane mage puts them at a disadvantage!
Moreover, to reach that spot, tactics and gameplay rely on logic, but this point? Eternal Ancestor really couldn’t wrap his head around it.
Could it be a…
New strategy?
At that moment.
In Mid Lane, Ye Junlin wielded his long sword, slashing and hacking, battling one water tribe warrior after another, dropping a dozen corpses at his feet.
Behind him, Canglang Jun grinned awkwardly, “Senior Ye, what winds blow you here today…”
He felt really baffled by Ye Junlin’s confusing action of leeching off minions in Mid.
But he didn’t dare complain and had to ask cautiously.
Ye Junlin shot him a sideways glance: “I have my own feet; I can come whenever I want. You old fool have a problem with that?”
Canglang Jun was startled, quickly waving his hands: “No, no, I absolutely have no problem!”
“I warmly welcome Senior Ye’s arrival!”
“Please, carry on; this wave of minions is all yours!”
After saying that, Canglang Jun quietly added to himself, “Besides, it’s not like we’re not being carried by you…”
“What’s wrong with these guys? Are they here to joke around? Sharing a Mid Lane minion wave with two people?!”
Behind the water tribe warriors, a man wearing a black cloak, surrounded by mysterious light balls, with a tattooed face, scoffed.
Zhou Chu hadn’t expected Ye Junlin, as the jungler, would fight for minions in Mid; such behavior was utterly ridiculous.
He could already envision how he could gain the upper hand over Canglang Jun next.
