Chapter 756
You Must Be Patient When Hunting Your Prey
"How am I supposed to play this..." Scout shook his head with a wry smile, and could only press the second E to return to his original position and silently return to the mid lane.
Seven minutes and thirty seconds.
With this stunning 1v3 comeback, Su Mo completely took over the rhythm of the entire Summoner's Rift.
"Chen, go control the dragon in the bottom half of the map," Su Mo commanded calmly. "The enemy jungler is doomed; they don't deserve to see this dragon."
"Alright, Brother Mo!" Ah Chen cheered like a devoted fan from inside the tree... no, from inside Foyego's body. He easily walked into the lower riverbed and took down the first earth dragon.
At this time, Su Mo did not return to the city.
He pushed the minion wave under the tower and then disappeared again.
Eight minutes.
The second wave of Voidbrood will spawn in 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Tarzan respawned in the fountain. He glanced at his pitiful 20 CS (creep score) and then at Fryegwark on the other side, who already had 60 CS. He took a deep breath and bought a few Control Wards.
"I need to farm the jungle and get ahead." Tarzan cautiously entered his own lower jungle, intending to farm the wolves to catch up on his farm.
He very cautiously placed a ward in the bushes next to the three wolves.
I didn't see Talon.
He breathed a sigh of relief, transformed into leopard form, and pounced on the three wolves.
However, just as he used all his skills, preparing to punish the wolf.
In the blue buff bushes, separated by a wall.
Su Mo's Talon had been quietly crouching here for a full thirty seconds!
"Prey always returns to its den."
Su Mo's eyes turned cold.
E skill allows you to jump over the wall!
W slows the enemy, Q dashes them forward, and then a basic attack triggers their passive!
Without even using her ultimate, she only dealt damage with a longsword and a serrated dagger, combined with Ignite, and once again killed the level 5.5 Nidalee, who was jungling, in the wolves' camp!
"EDG.Mo has killed LNG.Tarzan!"
Massacre!
Eight minutes and forty seconds!
"This is the third time!!! Tarzan is like a river crab in the jungle in front of this Talon, he doesn't even have a chance to fight back!!" Ning laughed so hard on the commentary stage, "Brother Mozi isn't playing a game, he's practically making a tutorial video for all LPL top laners on 'how to make the enemy jungler AFK'!"
Miller was also incredulous: "His sense of smell is terrifying! It's like he installed GPS on Tarzan, he can pinpoint Nidalee's location every time! LNG's jungle carry system has been completely destroyed in less than ten minutes!"
Nine minutes and ten seconds.
Su Mo stepped on the leopard woman's corpse and casually... took LNG's three wolves and blue buff.
At this moment, he had already achieved an overwhelming 90 kills, and his level was the highest in the entire game at level eight!
Meanwhile, on the opposing team, Zika's poor Udyr could only tremble under the tower, too afraid to even approach the second tower. This was because after killing Nidalee, Su Mo had brazenly moved between LNG's top lane first and second towers, and began to arrogantly cut off the minion wave!
"The connection dropped! Mozi didn't even give Udyr a chance to farm the minions under the tower!" Wawa exclaimed.
Nine minutes and thirty seconds.
The second wave of Voidbrood spawns.
At this point, LNG's jungler was killed, their top laner was disconnected, and their mid laner was pinned down.
EDG effortlessly captured the remaining three broodworms.
All six nests of bugs have gathered their buffs!
Ten minutes exactly.
The director then displayed a set of alarming data panels.
EDG's overall economy is three thousand yuan ahead.
The top lane Talon has a 2,200 gold lead over his lane opponent.
Jungler Fryego has a 1,500 gold lead over his lane opponent.
Meanwhile, LNG's core jungler Tarzan had a score of 0-3-0 after ten minutes of gameplay, was three levels behind in level, and only had a paltry 28 CS.
This is Su Mo.
The man who has won every world championship since S7.
He doesn't need grand words, nor does he need his teammates' support.
He simply picked up the black thermos on the table, took a sip of water, and looked at the enemy jungle that he had torn to shreds on the screen, a faint smile curving his lips.
"I told you, you don't have any jungle monsters to farm in this game."
Ten minutes exactly.
Su Mo pressed the return-to-base button.
At this point, he had gained a significant economic lead over the entire team by using two kills, a terrifying amount of last hits, and the tower plating he had taken.
Open the store.
Amidst the shimmering golden light, Su Mo steadily placed the [Spirit of Dreams] and [Boots of Clarity] into his equipment slot.
In ten minutes, crafting this set of equipment that offers ultimate mobility and armor penetration means that an assassin has the privilege of ignoring all armor and roaming the entire map to instantly kill enemies during that time period.
"Next up is the assassin's playground."
Su Mo said calmly in the voice chat, and Talon rushed out of the fountain like a ghost.
Ten and a half minutes.
The atmosphere in the LNG booth was so oppressive it was suffocating.
Tarzan looked at his pitiful level and equipment, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His jungle had completely become Talon's backyard.
Coach U was frantic in the backstage lounge, like a cat on a hot tin roof. He knew very well that if this Talon with Youmuu's Ghostblade was allowed to roam freely, all three lanes of LNG would collapse silently.
"Catch him this time!" Scout said through gritted teeth in the voice chat, his voice filled with determination. "We can't let him disconnect and eat tower plates again. Zika, you hold the line, Titan, come with me!"
LNG's tactics were extremely decisive—abandoning the bottom lane defense and gathering a large force to gank the top lane and wipe out this lawless assassin!
11 minutes and 15 seconds.
After LNG's support Titan recalled to base, he didn't even buy any wards and went straight to the top half of the map.
Meanwhile, Scout's Yone pushed the middle line and quietly slipped into the upper river.
"LNG can't take it anymore! They're going to use four people to gank Talon! Nautilus isn't even going to care about the bot lane!" Wawa exclaimed loudly from the commentary booth, keenly catching the undercurrents on the minimap.
At this moment, Su Mo was leading a wave of cannon minions, frantically dismantling the last layer of plating under LNG's top lane turret.
With the buff from 6 stacks of Voidbringer, the little bugs were like hungry piranhas, frantically devouring the health of the defensive towers.
Su Mo glanced briefly at the minimap with his deep eyes. Yone had disappeared from the mid lane, and no support had shown up in the bottom lane either.
A dangerous instinct born from the top assassin made him instantly aware of the changing situation.
"Chen, let the bottom lane push and dive the tower. The enemy is coming to top." Su Mo's tone remained calm, as if being surrounded by four people was just a trivial matter.
11 minutes and 30 seconds.
A murderous intent suddenly appeared!
LNG's support Titan suddenly rushed out from the top lane river bush and used Flash without hesitation!
Ultimate move: Deep Sea Impact!
Boiling water jets surged underground, locking onto the Talon who was attacking the tower below, following him like a shadow!
Scout's Yone appeared from the triangular bush, using vision control to initiate with his E skill [Spirit Breaker], holding back his ultimate, ready to follow up with a fatal knock-up at any moment!
Zika's Udyr activated Bear Awakening and charged forward with a roar of acceleration!
Meanwhile, in the distant blind spot, Tarzan's leopard woman transformed into human form, a deadly javelin already poised to fire.
"Surrounded on all fours! There's no escape!" Miller's eyes widened, his voice tightening. "Nautilus's headshot ultimate is unavoidable, and Talon will be knocked up even if he jumps over a wall!"
Faced with this inescapable trap, a deadly situation.
Su Mo sat in his gaming chair, his long, slender fingers hovering lightly over the keyboard. In that instant, his brain was like a sophisticated supercomputer, precisely calculating the skill trajectories, control times, and damage thresholds of everyone.
"You don't have enough bargaining chips to kill me."
Just 0.5 seconds before the water column was about to break through the ground!
Su Mo moved!
Ultimate skill: Shadow Strike!
boom!
Countless sharp blades burst out in a ring from the male swordsman's body, and Su Mo's figure instantly disappeared into the darkness, gaining a high movement speed.
But Titan's ultimate ability is true sight lock!
"boom!"
While in stealth mode, Talon was violently blasted into the air by a water jet, his invisible silhouette completely exposed!
"Now!" Scout's eyes turned cold, and Yone's ultimate skill, [Sealed Dust Slash], roared out with a gust of wind, heading straight for Talon's landing point in mid-air!
At the same time, Tarzan's javelin also predicted that area with extreme accuracy!
A game-winning shot from the absolute limit!
The entire audience held their breath.
In the very same frame that Talon is about to land!
"Click".
A very crisp sound of a keyboard keystroke.
flash!
In a flash of golden light, Talon landed in a completely illogical right-angled arc, passing right through the gap between Yone's ultimate sword aura and Nidalee's javelin!
Not only that, his teleportation was extremely cunning, landing right on the face of the leopard woman who had just thrown her dart and was completely unprepared!
"What?!" Tarzan felt a chill run down his spine, his pupils contracting sharply. How dare he?! Surrounded by four people, he flashed away not to escape, but to kill?!
Su Mo didn't give the other party any time to think.
Melee Q [Noxian Diplomacy] triggers a critical strike, stabbing fiercely into Nidalee's chest!
The scattered blades of the ultimate ability converged wildly towards Nidalee the instant the Q skill hit!
Combine with a basic attack.
It flowed smoothly and was completed in one go.
The fully healed Nidalee didn't even have time to transform into her leopard form and leap away; her health bar was instantly evaporated by the terrifying armor-piercing damage.
"EDG.Mo has killed LNG.Tarzan!"
"Rampage!"
"Instant kill!!! Tarzan got instantly killed again!!!" Ning stood up abruptly in the commentary booth, clutching his head and shouting in disbelief, "Taking the enemy general's head from the midst of a thousand troops! Mozi, surrounded by four people, used Flash to kill the jungler!!"
After killing Nidalee, Talon triggered Phase Rush for extremely high movement speed, as well as Youmuu's Ghostblade passive.
Yone and Udyr, who had reacted and were preparing to counterattack, were facing off.
Su Mo remained completely calm. He turned and pressed himself against the extremely thick wall next to the ruins of the top lane tower.
E Skill: Assassin's Way!
Talon transformed into an elegant afterimage, nimbly vaulting over the wall and disappearing into the treacherous shadows of the jungle, leaving the LNG team with only a dashing departing silhouette.
"Damn it..." Scout stared at the wall and angrily slammed his mousepad.
A four-on-one gank, using two Flashes and three ultimates, not only failed to secure a kill but also resulted in their own jungler's death. This was a devastating blow to LNG's morale.
Twelve minutes.
With this incredible escape and counter-kill, the live stream chat went completely wild:
Is this the god of assassins?!
Tarzan is probably thinking of calling the police; he was basically a walking ATM for the entire game!
[A four-man gank resulted in one player being killed and then escaping over the wall; who could withstand that?!]
12 minutes and 30 seconds.
Because Titan and Yone wasted a lot of time in the top lane, EDG's bottom lane was freed up.
Achen's Fryegor, in coordination with the bottom lane duo, tower-dived and killed the isolated Gala (Varus) in the bottom lane, and then took down the plating of the bottom lane's first tower.
The game's pace completely shifted in EDG's favor.
Thirteen minutes and ten seconds.
The second dragon (fire dragon) spawns in the river.
Although LNG is at a huge disadvantage, they know that if they let this dragon run again, their hopes of turning the tide will be completely dashed.
"Come and engage! Our ultimate abilities are all ready, and Gala's farm still allows him to deal some damage," Scout commanded in the voice chat, trying to bolster morale.
The five LNG personnel gathered and went down into the river.
However, Su Mo was not present on the front lines at this time.
He led a wave of minions and was demolishing LNG's top lane second tower!
"Release the dragons and pull them away," Su Mo calmly gave the order. "I'm dismantling it."
EDG's four players engaged in a fierce battle with LNG, constantly disrupting the latter's progress in taking down the dragon.
At this moment, Talon's tower-destroying speed was on full display. The attack speed bonus provided by Youmuu's Ghostblade, combined with the terrifying true damage from 6 stacks of Void Brew, caused the tower's health to drop like water.
Thirteen minutes and forty seconds!
"boom!"
LNG's top lane second tower collapsed with a roar!
"Back up! Back up now! The high ground is about to fall!" Zika was sweating profusely and quickly hid in the bushes to recall.
Although LNG secured the Fire Dragon in a direct confrontation, the cost was the fall of the top lane's second turret and the direct exposure of the high ground turret. It was like trading a heart for a finger—a complete loss.
Fourteen minutes exactly.
With a deafening growl, the Rift Herald descended precisely from the depths of the river.
This vanguard will determine the ownership of the mid tower and vision control in the jungle for the remainder of the game.
"We can't let Talon get the Rift Herald, if he gets it our top lane inhibitor will definitely fall!" Coach U was rubbing his hands anxiously backstage.
"Let's go for the team fight at the Vanguard! Our formation is great, and the Titan has Flash and his ultimate!"
LNG went all in, not even going home after defeating the dragon, and immediately grouped up and pushed towards the upper river.
At this moment, Su Mo's Talon had disappeared from the map's vision blind spot after taking down the top lane's second turret.
Fourteen minutes and fifteen seconds.
The two sides are locked in a standoff near the Pioneer Pit in the canyon.
Achen's Foyego and Xiaoyue's Annie were at the front.
LNG's formation was somewhat dense due to their eagerness to engage and secure positions. Titan was in front, warding with his scanner activated, followed closely by Gala's Varus and Scout's Yone.
Just when everyone at LNG thought Talon was still pushing the top lane or farming in the jungle...
They never expected that Su Mo, with his super high movement speed from [Dreamweaver] and [Boots of Lucidity], plus his E skill's abnormal map-running ability, had already circled around to their red buff jungle!
Fourteen minutes and twenty-five seconds.
Battle breaks out!
Titan landed an extremely tricky Q skill, Clear the Channel, hooking Xiao Yue, who was slightly ahead of him, at the maximum range!
"We've arrived! LNG has launched the first attack from the vanguard!" the doll shouted.
Yone immediately followed up with his E skill to engage, holding onto his ultimate to unleash a deadly chain of crowd control.
However, Xiao Yue reacted extremely quickly. The moment he was hooked, he flashed and used his ultimate skill, Tibbers' Wrath, directly into the LNG crowd, stunning both the Titan and the charging Udyr.
The head-on team battle instantly descended into chaos.
Just as Gala's Varus was about to unleash Lethal Tempo and unleash a barrage of damage, attempting to take over the team fight...
"Death has arrived."
A dark red figure darted over the extremely thick wall behind the LNG red buff!
There was no time to give any visual warning!
Su Mo's Talon was like a falcon silently swooping down from the sky, soaring over the thick wall and landing behind Gala's Varus!
At this moment, Talon had Ignite in his hand, and his ultimate was ready!
"Protect AD!!!" Tarzan roared desperately in the voice chat.
But it was all too late.
Su Mo's hand speed has already exceeded the limits of ordinary people's vision.
W [Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots] starts the move, followed by the ultimate [Shadow Strike] which explodes in mid-air!
Countless sharp blades bloomed around Varus.
Melee Q [Noxian Diplomacy] triggers a critical strike, followed by a basic attack!
0.3 seconds!
From the moment she landed after climbing over the wall to the moment all the damage was dealt, it only took 0.3 seconds!
Gala's Varus didn't even have a chance to use Flash or Heal; the screen instantly turned black and white.
"EDG.Mo has killed LNG.Gala!"
"AD got instantly killed!!! My God!! Is that Talon a ghost?!" Miller clutched his head in horror, his eyes wide like saucers. "He appeared out of nowhere from behind the wall and instantly melted a full-health AD! Is this the oppressive aura of the Assassin God?!"
After instantly killing Gala, Talon triggered Phase Rush and Youmuu's Ghostblade's passive, making his movement speed as fast as a blood-red lightning bolt.
Su Mo didn't stop. Taking advantage of the damage gathered by his ultimate and his positioning, he casually reduced the Nidalee next to him to low health.
Seeing this, Achen's Foyago immediately unleashed his ultimate move, "Pain Piercing the Heavens," to kill the leopard woman and then began to reap her soul in a frenzy!
"Double Kill!" Foygo secured a double kill!
Without their AD carry and jungler, LNG's frontline battles completely collapsed.
Scout's Yone tried to force a trade with Xiaoyue's Annie, but was frozen in place by Braum's passive and then melted by EDG's focused fire.
Udyr and Titan, unable to hold on alone, could only fall one after another in despair.
"Ace! Team wipe!!!"
"In less than fifteen minutes, LNG suffered a devastating team wipe!" Ning shook his head repeatedly in the commentary booth, giving a bitter laugh. "This game is over. Mozi's Talon turned a top-level professional league match into a Challenger-level smurfing game!"
Fourteen minutes and fifty seconds.
EDG took the Rift Herald without bloodshed, stepping over LNG's corpse.
With the acquisition of the Vanguard's Eye, EDG's economic lead has reached a despairing 7,000 gold.
Su Mo sat in the gaming chair, gently rotating his slightly sore wrist, his deep eyes remaining completely calm.
He picked up his signature black thermos, took a sip of warm water, and spoke in a calm tone that carried an undeniable air of regal authority:
"Deploy the vanguard in the middle lane."

Fifteen minutes exactly. (End of Chapter)
