pinnacle throne

The luxuriant branches and leaves completely covered the sky, and only a faint light came through, making the whole scene a bit dark. The ground was also covered with unknown grasses and leaves, and occasionally there were a few trees and vines lying in the middle of the road.Qi Le looked around, vaguely remembering that the jungle swamp was the largest map in the 1v1 arena in "Apex".

The surroundings were quiet, as if he was the only one in the whole world, Qi Le did not move, any sound at this time would be invisible, whoever moved first would face the risk of being exposed.A lot of PK experience flashed through his mind. In this kind of map full of obstacles, long-range attacks will be restricted. close combat...

However, footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance, the voice was loose and undisguised, Qi Le was stunned for a moment, and then, a trace of panic emerged in his heart.Who is the opponent?It's Jiuluo!How could he make such a mistake of casually revealing his whereabouts?For a moment, Qi Le was a little at a loss.

The footsteps are getting closer... Are you avoiding?Or just lie in ambush?While hesitating, the footsteps that were already very close stopped abruptly, and Qi Le felt his heart skip a beat.The surroundings returned to calm again, but the heartbeat in the chest became louder and louder.

One second, two seconds...

Suddenly, a figure popped out from behind the tree in the front left, Qi Le with solid basic skills reflexively shot out a light arrow, the silver light streaked across, and rushed straight to the direction of the figure, at the same time, Qi Le quickly completed two rear tumble.The light arrow of the archer has a deceleration effect, coupled with the bonus of skill points, the opponent was decelerated for a full two seconds before recovering. At this time, the chess music has completed the back roll, and the distance between the two is kept within a safe range .

Qi Le seized the time to launch a normal attack. Two long arrows were inserted into the opponent's body one after another. Although he had already prepared in his heart, Qi Le still felt extremely awkward when he saw Sundae being hit by his own attack.There was a moment of hesitation in his heart, and the attack also slowed down. Sundae turned over and hid behind the tree again.

Qi Le breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, the other party ran out from the other side of the tree.

What is this doing?Qi Le was full of doubts, rushed out from that distance and was exposed under the eyes of Yuan Yuan, what is the difference between this and courting death?Chess Le was puzzled, but he no longer hesitated. He drew his bow and pointed it at the target, just like the usual practice of shooting moving objects. His arrows perfectly penetrated the opponent's fatal point. He used light arrows and ordinary attacks alternately. Chess Le He didn't even choose the ability to read the bar, and under the cautious attack, Sundae's blood bar dropped little by little.

A feeling similar to disappointment slowly surfaced from the bottom of my heart, Qi Le took a deep breath and decided to end the battle as soon as possible.The blood of the sundae in front of him is running out, as long as he seizes the opportunity to play a time difference, he can read the article and completely end this PK.As before, he shot the light arrow, and Qi Le was about to retreat, but suddenly saw in the corner of his eyes that Sundae's moving direction... changed? !

Qi Le froze for a moment.As an archer, he's used to capturing the player's movement as a normal.Generally speaking, it is difficult for a moving target to avoid the shot arrow, because the speed of the arrow is much faster than the human reaction speed. Instant skills, this is almost the same as the probability of winning the lottery.

Thinking of this, Qi Le calmed down a little, maybe it was just the opponent's luck... He quickly adjusted his position, chose an extremely tricky angle, and shot another light arrow.But... was dodged again!Suppressing the shock in his heart, Qi Le didn't dare to hold back any more. He quickly shuttled through the jungle, constantly relying on trees to cover up the angle of his attack. However, even so, the opponent would hide in other places before he attacked. behind the tree.

Before he knew it, a layer of sweat oozed from Qi Le's palms.It is clear that he has an overwhelming advantage now, but the current scene is completely dodging in embarrassment. This contrast in momentum makes him dare not relax his attention at all.

The two kept walking behind the trees, and the psychological struggle made the atmosphere extremely tense.

Qi Le didn't dare to take a breath, he could only rely on the sound of footsteps to determine whether the opponent was moving, and he didn't even know which tree the opponent was currently behind.In the silence, a thin mist unconsciously appeared around, and within ten seconds, the mist became abnormally thick, Qi Le frowned slightly, and turned his head to check the visibility around him.

Just then, footsteps sounded. The sound of "唰唰唰唰" is gentle and rhythmic, reflecting the master's firm intention to move forward.Qi Le felt that his whole heart was hanging, he didn't know where Sundae was hiding, and now his sight was blocked by the fog, it would be fine if Sundae accidentally walked away, what if he got close to him?

Such thoughts made him restless, Qi Le struggled for a while, and finally moved away from where he was standing.Just two steps forward, a sentence suddenly appeared in the chat box.

[Arena] Sundae: Got you.

Qi Le suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, turned around cautiously, and he was relieved when he found that there was no sundae around.At this moment, in the thick fog in front of him, a sundae dressed in black came out, the scythe in his hand was shining with black brilliance, like a grinning god of death.

The atmosphere seemed to be frozen, and in the next second, Qi Le rushed sideways towards the back of a tree, but was caught by Sundae's chain skills on the way.The early remote occupations did not have any uncontrollable skills. Qile was like a puppet who couldn't control his body, and was staggered by Sundae's attack.

The blood line fell like flying, and Qi Le's heart was cold.He didn't find a chance to escape until the blood bar was emptied.After the battle, the two were sent back to the guild territory.

Sundae sent another PK invitation, Qi Le rubbed his sweaty palms on his pants, and then clicked OK.

After 6 rounds of PK in a row, Qi Le only won one round, and that one was due to Shen Xiao's bad RP, and happened to encounter a debuff object randomly generated in the map.

Qi Le was so depressed that it was hard to describe. After six rounds, Shen Xiao didn't make any comments. He just stood aside and Dust didn't say a word. Qi Le stayed quietly for a long time before he heard the conversation between the two.

A voice without ups and downs sounded first: "This level? Impossible."

Qi Le's heart tightened.Are you talking about him?

Immediately afterwards came Shen Xiao's voice, which was different from the past, this time he seemed a little helpless: "Think of a way."

Dust said firmly: "No, I can't do anything."

……

What the hell are you talking about?Chess is full of question marks.

But the two began to fall into silence. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xiao was a little surprised and said, "Qi Le, are you still there?"

Qi Le: "..."

Dust unexpectedly asked uncharacteristically, "How many generations are you from Lingyun?"

Qi Le: "..."

Who is this man?It doesn't matter if the sundae is Shen Xiao, why this person's tone is like this... Qi Le couldn't think of a suitable word, so he had to give up.

"Qi Le." Dust's voice was very low, maybe it was an illusion, Qi Le always felt that the other party seemed a little unhappy?

"I am here……"

"How many generations are you from Lingyun?"

"……Four generations."

Qi Le was a little guilty, he was afraid that the other party would ask again, it would be too embarrassing... But the other party didn't ask, just...

"No wonder. You are not suitable for competitive competition, quit Lingyun."

Chess made a fool of himself.He suddenly remembered what Shen Xiao once said - "You don't have the talent to play games".

It is so similar to what the dust said at this time.

He knew that he didn't have much talent, and his reaction was half a beat slower than others, but... Qi Le silently lowered his head.

His silence made Dust speak again: "Don't you understand? Judging by the current average level of the e-sports circle, your adaptability is very poor, and you lack operational explosiveness. I watched the video of your PK, and your position and The overall control ability is also very average, although the basic skills are very solid, but unfortunately, this is not enough."

Every word of Dust was like a heavy stone, weighing on his heart.Although he didn't want to admit it, the other party was right.Although he is training every day, he is still not as good as Shen Xiao who has only played "Peak" for a month. It's not because of the pure talent gap.

After PKing with Shen Xiao just now, he himself had an intuitive feeling.For example, in the first scene, Shen Xiao not only locked his position globally, but what was even more frightening was that the man used half of the bloodline to test his attack habits and attack rhythm.But in the later stage, the opponent pushed him to a dead end little by little.

That's right, it wasn't accidental that the other party said "I caught you" in the end. After he watched the video recorded in the first PK match from a third-party perspective, he understood the gap between himself and Shen Xiao.The opponent at that time forced him to a dead corner of the map when he didn't feel it at all-at that time, to his left was an extremely huge tree vine, which was the border of the map, and not far behind was a swamp. On the right is a section of flat land with no shelter, and in front is the place where Shen Xiao hid before.So at that time, he chose to go to the right without hesitation, but he didn't know that Sundae had already moved in that direction, waiting to stop him.

He lost convincingly.

But somewhere in his heart, he understood that he was still unwilling.

When he was in Lingyun, he would not fall behind in training every day. After discovering his own shortcomings, he worked harder.In fact, he didn't like archers at first, but archers are the only profession that can make up for his shortcomings, so he chose without hesitation.At that time, he began to secretly envy those who can freely choose their favorite career.

When he joined the team a year ago, he never saw Shen Xiao's face at all. That person was like a scorching sun, emitting an unparalleled light, which made people marvel and yearn for.That kind of feeling is indescribable, as if all my pursuits and dreams have been realized in that person, so perfect, so powerful.

He has imagined more than once, if he is also talented, will everything be different?

Maybe, something is different.However, there is only one thing that will not change, and that is the desire to become stronger, and the desire to fight side by side with my comrades!

A cluster of small flames ignited in Qi Le's eyes, but the flames were quickly extinguished.

When a person says "you don't have talent", he can refute it confidently; when a group of people say "you don't have talent", he can also work hard silently, but when everyone says that, even later, he himself acquiesces Given this, what should he do?

Both Shen Xiao and Chen Chen were silent, as if they were mourning for his sadness.Qi Le stretched out his hand and covered his hot eye sockets.

In the silence, Dust spoke again: "But it's okay, you can join my team."
