Chapter 244: First Blood Taken
As everyone knows, there are three things that top lane players value more than their own lives.
Health packs, minion waves, river crab.
So when Ye Lan was catching crabs, Li Changqing couldn't help but move closer.
He believed his health had almost fully recovered, and with Flash available, Ye Lan shouldn't be able to kill him.
Mulan continued to approach the river mouth.
At this moment, Ye Lan used her jungling skills.
By taking advantage of the river crab's mechanic of fleeing in the opposite direction of the hero when attacked, he kept the river crab stuck in the bushes.
This made Li Changqing very upset.
After all, we can't see what's happening inside the bushes.
Naturally, it's impossible to determine the crab's blood volume.
If you don't know how much health the crab has, how can you steal it?
"Damn it, whatever, I'll just throw my second skill in. Even if I don't manage to steal the river crab, I can still whittle down Sun Ce's health."
Thinking this through, Li Changqing stopped worrying and controlled Hua Mulan to take two steps forward.
Then use the second skill, the dart, to throw it towards the middle of the bushes.
But just as the dart was thrown, Sun Ce emerged from the bushes wielding his oar and struck Hua Mulan with his stick.
Activate the second skill [Surging Waves] and unleash a barrage of attacks on Mulan.
Li Changqing was at a disadvantage in terms of health and had no intention of fighting back against Sun Ce's attacks.
He turned around and tried to use his first skill twice to create distance.
But Ye Lan seemed to have seen through his thoughts.
The moment Hua Mulan turned around, Sun Ce also turned his head at the same time.
The fact that the two of them shook their heads at the same time directly disrupted Li Changqing's plans.
But it's too late for regrets; Mulan's first skill, [Air Slash], has already been used.
Unfortunately, one skill was not enough to create distance between him and Sun Ce.
In addition, Mulan was previously slowed down by Sun Ce's second skill.
So they were quickly caught up by the other side.
After Sun Ce used up all his second skills, Hua Mulan's health was almost depleted.
At that moment, Li Changqing realized that he could no longer afford to waste his skills.
He immediately used Flash towards his own defensive turret.
They once again distanced themselves from Sun Ce.
Unfortunately, it's too late to use Flash now.
If Li Changqing had used Hua Mulan's first skill in conjunction with Flash to create distance from Sun Ce from the beginning...
Ye Lan had no way to deal with him and could only watch him leave.
Unfortunately, it's only being released now; it's all a bit too late.
The instant Hua Mulan appeared, Sun Ce raised the oar above his head and took a step to catch up.
Then, two basic attacks landed, wiping out Mulan's last bit of health.
First blood!
First blood is born.
With the score at 1-0, Ye Lan took the lead and secured match point.
"Being a top laner, he couldn't hold back. He wanted to come up and check things out while they were attacking the river crab."
Ye Lan, who had successfully secured the solo kill, couldn't help but shake her head with a smile.
Although he didn't understand the details of laning, he knew how to make the opponent make mistakes.
This allows them to capitalize on the opponent's mistakes and deliver a fatal blow.
After being killed, Li Changqing shifted his gaze from his phone to Ye Lan, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
This guy plays the jungle role, doesn't he?
How come he's so good at playing the top lane?
I was one of the top Mulan players in the Chinese server back in the day, how could I have been killed so easily?
"As expected of the top player at the peak, even without playing jungle, his strength is still terrifying!"
Li Changqing suddenly felt a pressure, like a huge rock pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
He originally thought that every profession is like a mountain, and even if the opponent was the top player, he should be able to easily handle the opponent in his area of expertise, the top lane.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and he lost their first encounter.
This was something Li Changqing found hard to accept.
It's like you're a sprinter, and you challenge a shot putter to a race, but you lose.
Being defeated in one's area of expertise brings a sense of frustration that comes from within.
While Mulan was reviving, Ye Lan cleared the minion wave and returned to her own turret, where she consumed a health pack and recovered to a healthy state.
In both of these encounters, he held absolute dominance, and Mulan was completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back.
This resulted in Sun Ce remaining in good condition even after killing Hua Mulan.
One blood pack restored his blood volume to a healthy level.
No need to return to base, you can continue laning.
At the same time, Mulan revived from the spring and headed towards the confrontation lane.
Having already died once, Li Changqing became more cautious, hiding under the tower and rarely venturing out.
Ye Lan was having a terrible headache because of this underhanded fighting style.
Because of the turret's protection mechanism, it is almost impossible for a single person to tower dive and kill.
The only way is to lure Li Changqing out by setting a trap.
What is laying out lines?
It involves blocking the opponent's experience zone and letting the minion wave die naturally, thus creating a situation where I can get minion experience while you can't.
According to the theory of canyon relativity, if I can eat you but you can't, it's equivalent to me eating two of you.
As mentioned before, one of the things that top lane players care about most is the minion wave.
Ye Lan's actions were undoubtedly torture for Li Changqing.
If players keep hiding under their towers and don't farm minions, the level and gold difference between the two sides will only widen.
In the end, it will only be a slow death.
"Damn, this guy doesn't seem like someone who's never played the top lane before."
"In front of him, I felt like a greenhorn."
Li Changqing frowned slightly. The heated air conditioning in the mall made him feel hot, and some fine beads of sweat appeared on his temples.
He didn't feel ashamed to lose to Shuye. After all, Shuye was a top laner and a master of Sun Ce. It was normal for him to lose because he was not as skilled.
But he never expected to be so badly suppressed by Ye Lan.
However, Li Changqing was a player who mainly played the top lane, and his years of experience allowed him to quickly come up with a solution.
"I'll switch to my heavy sword and go get some experience; there shouldn't be any problem."
"If he chooses to fight, the invulnerability effect of his skills will give me a lot of damage reduction and immunity to crowd control. Maybe I can even use my second skill to push him back under the tower and get a counter-kill!"
Upon realizing this, Li Changqing's eyes lit up, as if he had opened the door to a new world.
Without hesitation, he immediately switched Mulan to her heavy sword form and moved towards the direction where the minion waves converged.
At the same time, Sun Ce also made a move.
When Mulan moved out of the turret's attack range, Sun Ce rode the Husky warship beneath her.
"Set sail, embark on your journey!"
