Chapter 25: Who is the Hunter? Who is the Prey?

The factory director watched the state of the top lane, feeling completely numb.

At the same time, Imp, who was watching the game from the EDG lounge, was also feeling numb.

"My ancestor, can't you just play a bit more steadily? The opponent isn't Shen anymore, that's Camille! The kind of hero that can kick your skull off in one go!"

Imp looked like he was having a breakdown. "Simply a pig!"

How he wished he were in the EDG team voice chat to give this idiot Su Mo a proper scolding.

Beside him, A-Guang frowned and said, "Isn't Xiao Mo's playstyle a bit too arrogant? It feels like the enemy Camille is intentionally baiting him with low health. Mala Xiangguo's Nidalee started red buff, so there's a high chance she'll gank top."

Through the god's-eye view, A-Guang could easily see RNG's scheme.

But in the game, Su Mo didn't seem to be thinking about that at all.

Indeed, at this moment, Su Mo's Karma had already crossed the minion wave, moving from the side near the top lane brush to Camille's flank.

Then, he sent an auto-attack her way.

Gold +3!

After the auto-attack, Su Mo immediately retreated into the brush to avoid minion aggro.

After this single auto-attack, Su Mo already had his answer.

Since Camille hadn't used her W even when he was that close just now, it meant she likely hadn't even leveled it.

Therefore, it was certain: Camille was nothing but bait!

Su Mo silently calculated the time in his head.

In this patch, the first wave of jungle camps spawns at 1:40. Without help, it would take Nidalee at least twenty seconds to clear them.

Adding the time to travel to the top lane, it would take nearly ten seconds.

And right now, the game time was exactly 2:00.

There were still ten seconds left to torment Letme!

With his top-tier situational awareness and analytical ability, Su Mo was not panicking.

Thinking this, he stepped out of the brush again, intending to auto-attack Camille.

But Letme wasn't stupid; he immediately pulled back toward the river, preventing Karma from being able to auto-attack him and immediately retreat into the brush to avoid minion damage.

This was the attention to detail of a professional top laner.

Seeing Karma follow up without hesitation, the corner of Letme's mouth curled up slightly.

"You think I'm still the Shen from the last game? Foolish."

After muttering to himself, he pressed Ctrl+E.

Only now had he leveled a single skill.

His purpose was to coordinate with the approaching Mala Xiangguo to kill this piece of filth.

Glancing again at the approaching Nidalee, Letme's smile widened.

He could almost see the terrified look in Mo's eyes when he got caught, and the way he would clutch his head in regret after dying.

"I'm coming," Mala Xiangguo's voice rang out at that moment. "When she arrives, just E-Flash him. Don't leave him any way out."

At this moment, Mala Xiangguo's desire to kill Su Mo was no less intense than Letme's, who had been tormented for an entire game previously.

"Understood," Letme nodded. "Look, he even dares to chase me to auto-attack. He looks arrogant, but he actually has zero awareness. It seems I overestimated him before."

While speaking, Karma even took the time to auto-attack a low-health minion.

Seeing this, Letme snorted slightly. "Still having the heart to last-hit minions? Just wait for death."

"I'm here. Junze, you can engage anytime," Mala Xiangguo's voice came through.

The hunter had arrived!

Yet, the "prey," Karma, seemed completely unaware.

Seeing Karma still chasing Camille, Imp in the EDG lounge slapped his thigh in frustration

"Nidalee is already here, and you're still chasing him to auto-attack? What on earth are you doing!"

The broadcast camera had already locked onto the top lane, focusing on Nidalee.

At this moment, Nidalee had arrived at the top lane triangle bush, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

At the commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan immediately began describing the scene

"RNG's Nidalee has chosen to start red buff for a level two gank top, but player Mo clearly hasn't realized the danger is coming. He is still maintaining the fearless playstyle from the last game, having chased Camille all the way into the river."

"In this position, if he gets hit by Nidalee's Q, there is basically no chance for Karma to survive."

Guan Zeyuan felt a bit of melancholy in his heart.

Su Mo's outstanding performance in the last game had left everyone in awe.

But looking at it now, it seemed that his performance in the previous game involved far too much luck.

In the end, he was still a rookie.

Then again, looking back at the history of the League of Legends professional scene, how many could truly be called geniuses?

Most players are merely flashes in the pan.

Guan Zeyuan lamented silently.

Just as he was lost in thought, Rita beside him shouted: "Nidalee is moving! Although Karma has pushed Camille out of the minion experience zone, she has also entered Nidalee's Q range. Nidalee fires the Q, Karma is finished... ah... she dodged it?"

Rita looked astonished.

From the god's-eye view, there were no wards in the triangle bush where Nidalee was located.

This Q was a blind skill for Karma.

Yet, with just such a blind skill, Karma merely shifted her body slightly to the left, and the spear grazed past her.

In fact, after dodging the spear, Karma even performed a little dance on the spot. Even though it was only a momentary movement, Rita still caught it.

"Mo used a small movement to dodge Nidalee's Q," Guan Zeyuan took over the commentary. "But Camille still has her E skill, and Nidalee has the red buff. The test for Karma is not over."

The moment Guan Zeyuan finished speaking, Camille moved.

Letme aimed his mouse at the river wall and pressed the E skill hard.

In the next instant, the hook in Camille's hand caught the wall, pulling her agile body forward.

This was Camille's E skill—Hookshot!

After the first stage of the E, Letme intentionally paused, wanting to predict Karma's movement.

But he found that this Karma had no intention of moving; she even stopped and moved toward him to auto-attack.

"You still dare to auto-attack me?!?"

This move by Karma made even Letme lose his confidence.

Was EDG's mid and jungle both up top?

Otherwise, where did he get the courage to auto-attack him?

But he didn't have time to think. The moment Karma raised her hand to auto-attack, he pressed the second stage of E, kicking toward her.

As long as he could land the kick on Karma, combined with Mala Xiangguo's red buff, there would definitely be a chance to kill her.

Camille's elegant figure appeared even more graceful in the air, but Letme was in no mood to appreciate such poise, because... the second stage of E was going to miss!

At the same moment he pressed the second stage of E, Karma pressed 'S' to cancel the auto-attack animation and took a step toward Nidalee's direction.

This tiny step caught Letme off guard.

It was completely contrary to the position he had predicted.

"E-Flash!" Mala Xiangguo's warning rang out.

In fact, even without Mala Xiangguo's reminder, Letme had already pressed Flash.

During the second stage of Camille's E, one can use Flash to change direction without interrupting the skill.

To ensure Karma's life was taken, he used this Flash without the slightest hesitation.

Almost at the same instant Letme pressed Flash, Mala Xiangguo also pressed Flash.

This was the trust and synergy between teammates!

However, there were more than two Flashes appearing in the top lane.

There were three!
