Chapter 1767: Chapter 1767 - Hook
Lu Li circled around three times, and on the fourth time, he calmly and steadily stood behind Wild . He wasn’t in a rush to attack . Who could tell if Wild was just pretending not to notice him, waiting until Lu Li was off his guard then striking him with a massive attack?
Lu Li was a little regretful . He always thought he was a prudent person and never would’ve thought he would have made the mistake of a proud soldier .
In the 1st Shadow Cup, as long as he had time, he would definitely be able to gather up videos and information on the on the opponents he might face . He would even try to figure out how these competitors performed their spectacular moves in the past .
This Shadow Cup clashed with Naxxramas, the final Instance Dungeon for the level 60s . In order to guarantee a First Clear, Lu Li put most of his focus on the Instance Dungeon .
Added to the fact that all the people he had faced before were rather weak, Lu Li simply didn’t have to use much effort to deal with them . As such he rarely went to research his opponents, not even looking at their past competitions .
Circling around three times had taken almost 20 seconds .
That was enough time for an old Mage to finish off a weak little Thief .
Actually, the previous Thief that fought Wild died a very pitiful death . They used some very different tactics compared to Lu Li . In order to avoid Wild’s Detection, they would always attack directly, using an unexpected method to seize control on the offensive .
Wild appeared calm, but inside, he was actually quite panicked .
He didn’t have strong Detection, but Lu Li had lost three of his escaping skills .
Thieves did have a lot of escape skills, but after throwing away three, he didn’t have many left . As such Lu Li needed to grab hold of the offensive, using all of his strength to pin Wild down to the ground .
His own Shadowstrike didn’t have much effect in terms of crowd control, but Lu Li was just about to unleash a full-combo Shadowstrike that could disable his opponent while dealing off-the-charts damage .
This was a battle of control, with Lu Li and Wild both trying to stun the other .
Wild’s 20 seconds of Detection didn’t come from nowhere . It was the main attribute of his equipment . Apart from this Special Effect, all of the others were rather useless . He had to lose a piece of similar level equipment to be able to achieve to this current level of Detection .
As long as he could grab hold of a Thief, he could easily dispatch of them .
In the first round, Lu Li didn’t completely control Wild . He had no choice but to keep running away .
He actually could keep escaping?
Wild was angry . Lu Li had already escaped 3 times, and he could still escape now .
He had no choice . He could only wait for his chance to act .
Lu Li started again, with some of his skills already having completely cooled down . This time, Lu Li was able to stun Wild, but after he was finished off with him, he didn’t have much HP left . He had no choice but to admit that as long as an old mage had high Detection, they would be a nightmare for Thieves .
Next, Blood Red War Flag sent out a Paladin .
Of course, a Thief who had all of their skills available and full HP wasn’t afraid of a Paladin, but a weakened Thief stood no chance, let alone the fact that Lu Li had consumed too many skills and special effects .
Seeing someone of the same role, Mu Qiu was filled with anticipation that he could barely hold in .
Of course, the Paladin opposite them couldn’t defeat him, but his Greatsword of the Brotherhood was still not able to finish him off in one shot . Even taking out half of someone’s HP was rare, let alone getting killing someone in a single strike .
Mu Qiu defeated his opponent, but was also eliminated by the next warrior from Blood Red War Flag .

Although the warrior wasn’t high-ranked, Berserkers in this patch were powerful, so they had a definite advantage against Paladins .
Blood Red War Flag’s competitors weren’t considered the cream of the crop . The highest-level mage, Wild, wasn’t even comparable to Unforgettable Maple . However, while Blood Red War Flag’s competitors seemed rather average, they were all powerful players . They were the type who didn’t look that amazing, but could hold their own against anyone .
Moonlight went up to face and finish off the warrior, which brought the battle to a close .
Ruling Sword scored three points to Blood Red War Flag’s two .
This score really didn’t reveal much . There were still six points in the group battle, and what Blood Red War Flag exceled at was group battles . They definitely could turn the tables here .
It was too bad for them that Ruling Sword had Moonlight, Lu Li, Mu Qiu, as well as March Rain and Innocent Child . This sharp team with two healers didn’t lack output or healing, and under Lu Li’s command, they were as defensive as a tortoise’s shell .
Without the Magic players, who could easily be targeted and killed, Blood Red War Flag instantly understood Lu Li’s intentions .
Who would be the best to focus on? The three options were Lu Li, Moonlight and Mu Qiu . One was a Thief, the most difficult to kill, while the two others had strong Defense, high HP and Plate Armor . Even targeting the healers would be difficult, since they could heal each other .
However, they did not have much of a choice . The targets were still the healers .
“Control March Rain and kill Innocent Child,” Wild instructed . It wasn’t that he didn’t want to kill March Rain . Priests were the best at healing HP on the battlefield, but they were the most vulnerable . The reason they didn’t kill March Rain was because there was no way to control Innocent Child .
Druid healers were the worst at healing on the field, but you certainly couldn’t look down on their ability to survive .
They could heal themselves, and if you focused on them, they could go right into Bear Form . In this form, their HP was comparable to a Main Tank and they were still able to dispel most controlling effects . A Druid with an arsenal of continuous recovery spells was simply a nightmare .

At the moment, a Priest and a Druid healing together was the best combo .
However, you had to consider the quality of the Priest and Druid as well . If your awareness of changing positions was average, and the Druid didn’t have any top skills or equipment, it was just a matter of time before you’d be finished off .
Bear Form just meant that your HP was like that of a Main Tank . It didn’t mean your Defense increased along with it .
Blood Red War Flag went all out against Innocent Child, and Innocent Child showed the audience what a powerful Druid was capable of .
Dawn didn’t lack Druid competitors to begin with, and Innocent Child was literally a textbook Druid . Most Druids, in their private study, would model and analyze Innocent Child’s moves and attacks .
In the end, Blood Red War Flag still finished off Innocent Child .
However, while they were focusing on him, Lu Li and his team weren’t being lazy . They chose their target to be Blood Red War Flag’s healer Priest, Dark Heavens . He was surrounded and killed, with no chance of escape .
Each team had lost a healer, and it appeared even, but in fact, Blood Red War Flag was at a big disadvantage .
“Retreat,” Wild commanded .
They still had four damage dealers on their side and Ruling Sword had three, so it looked like they had the advantage, but Ruling Sword had March Rain . Even having five damage output players would be useless .
Wild’s plan was very clear . They would first avoid the worst of it all and wait until they could quickly sub on their healer Jade Flower Lover before re-engaging .
“Chase!” Lu Li was at the head, running them down, while Moonlight charged to the front . At the back, Mu Qiu and March Rain were right on their heels . They were a little worried for Lu Li and Moonlight . On the off-chance that Blood Red War Flag suddenly killed one of them, then this would all be over .

Moonlight threw his axe like a meteor, striking Blood Red War Flag’s Paladin Scandalous . Then, like a chain, it bound her up and pulled him back .
Wild was surprised and angry . After giving a shout, he brought them back to support Scandalous .
Lu Li was also speechless . They had lost a healer; there was no point in being so aggressive .
However, since Scandalous had been hooked, Lu Li and his team could capitalize on this opportunity .
Blood Red War Flag intended to attack March Rain . As long as they could kill her, then the tables would be completely turned . After all, one of the two healers of Ruling Sword was already dead . If they killed another one, then they would have no healers left at all . Blood Red War Flag’s healer, Jade Flower Lover, was also rushing over now .
March Rain stalled as long as she could . She didn’t heal her teammates anymore and just tried to preserve her own life .
Scandalous had already been finished off . After all, there was no healer to protect him .
After finishing off Scandalous, Lu Li went right for Wild, saving March Rain from her dangerously low HP .
Wild sighed helplessly . He knew it was all over . Even if he could do more, he couldn’t fight against Lu Li with a healer . Jade Flower Lover simply couldn’t come in time to help them .
Ruling Sword successfully eliminated Blood Red War Flag, advancing to the next stage!
