Chapter 40 Reversal
"Your healing abilities are all shooting out like meteors; they probably won't be able to protect you anymore!"
That lewd and treacherous voice, like a ghost, came from the blind spot behind Ye Lingling. The source of the voice seemed familiar, yet so strange, sending chills down one's spine.
Indeed, Ye Lingling only has two rings, so she can only treat two people at a time. Although she can control the amount and speed of treatment for different people, once she has used up all her treatment slots, she will be unable to move or protect herself, putting her in an extremely dangerous situation.
Whether in her own family or at school, all her teachers taught her to always protect the strong, because as long as they were not injured, someone would take care of them.
Growing up in such an environment, all Soul Masters, regardless of their type, would fiercely protect her after receiving her assistance. Every battle was a crushing victory with no suspense whatsoever.
But today, everything has been turned upside down. Her teammates are being relentlessly suppressed by the enemy, and even with her support, getting up is extremely difficult.
The enemy was too powerful, so no one had the time or strength to protect her, and she was required to continuously maintain support effects for everyone, which led to her being ambushed.
When she was knocked away by Lin Bei's palm, she was full of doubts. Why did Lin Bei, who was also a support, dare to send out alone to ambush other team members, without treating her as a support at all?
In a fleeting moment of confusion, Ye Lingling suddenly realized that Wu Heyi had once mentioned a term called "support" and "roaming".
Although the two functions are roughly the same, she now understands that support is just pure support, while roaming is quite different.
Roaming involves using agile movement to provide support to teammates while seeking opportunities to break through enemy lines.
Lin Bei's palm strike not only sent Ye Lingling flying, but it also shattered her skull with a single blow.
Of course, this palm strike also interrupted her spellcasting. Yu Tianheng, who was still struggling to hold on, had his internal injuries all exposed as soon as the healing spell on his body was broken.
Dugu Yan, whose body had been pierced by an arrow, was bleeding again as her body, which was almost repaired.
They were about to stand up when the healing spell was suddenly interrupted, and they fell to the ground again.
They all turned to look in Ye Lingling's direction, especially Yu Tianheng, whose eyes held a hint of ruthlessness. He had listened to Dugu Yan's exaggerated claims about her healing abilities, only to have them disconnect at the crucial moment.
He was initially furious, but when he saw Ye Lingling lying on the ground, half of his anger subsided instantly. At the same time, he noticed that the person who had hit her was a boy.
He vaguely remembered that this guy's name was Lin Bei, and he was also a support character. However, he never expected that this guy would be so shameless as to actually ambush a girl.
It was because of his attack that the healing spell came to an abrupt halt, his internal injuries erupted like a volcano, and his anger surged like a raging river.
He wanted to vent all his anger on Lin Bei, but now that the healing had stopped, his fighting ability was greatly reduced.
He even felt a little regretful, realizing that he had been so engrossed in the game that he had forgotten about his own support and failed to protect the backline in time. In fact, he himself was also partly to blame.
In contrast, Dugu Yan was not as weak as Yu Tianheng. Seeing her best friend being beaten, she was immediately enraged and disregarded her own injuries, fully activating her poison attribute.
In an instant, half of the arena was filled with poisonous mist, like a giant green net that instantly swallowed up Mi'er and Lin Bei.
Mi'er didn't even have a chance to escape before she was tightly enveloped by the poisonous fog.
This toxic fog not only released deadly toxins, but was even more terrifying than smog. It was like a thick curtain, blocking the view of most people. Wu Heyi wanted to go and rescue them, but it was already too late.
In just a moment, he heard Lin Bei's miserable screams, and at the same time, the auxiliary effects on his body melted away like ice and snow.
Wu Heyi clenched his fists tightly, inwardly exclaiming in surprise.
"Too careless!"
Although Dugu Yan is a control-type Soul Master, her control methods mainly rely on poison, and she held back somewhat when fighting Mi'er.
During the fight, she made the most of her close-combat skills after being possessed by her Martial Soul, which caused the others to overlook Dugu Yan's control abilities.
After the toxin invaded her body, Mi'er's eyes became blurry, and she seemed to see many phantoms when she looked at things. The toxin spread rapidly on her tender face like small insects, leaving bloody lines.
Lin Bei was suddenly attacked by Dugu Yan. After her martial soul was possessed, a giant python's tail lashed at him, causing him to scream in pain and inhale more toxins than the average person.
In an instant, as if all his strength had been drained, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious. Dugu Yan's poison spread wildly throughout his body like a plague.
Dugu Yan herself was like a hunter in the fog, able to clearly sense the existence of all living beings who had inhaled her toxins.
Through the subtle fluctuations of living beings, she seemed to possess a pair of discerning eyes, able to accurately determine the identity of the other party, and thus decide whether the poison should be released within their body.
I never expected that when Ye Lingling was ambushed and knocked to the ground, Dugu Yan would react so strongly, like a volcano.
At the same time, she also comprehended a magical use of martial souls, just like the heat vision ability of snakes, which allows her to directly perceive the opponent's standing position through thermal imaging.
When the two are combined, it is like a stroke of genius, allowing the soul skill to be released precisely in the poisonous fog, and even to explode at a fixed point. For a moment, Dugu Yan seemed to have regained the initiative.
After escaping continuous attacks, Ye Lingling rose again like a tenacious blade of grass. Because as a support character, her mental strength was far greater than that of ordinary Soul Masters, allowing her to see nearby people through mental perception.
She immediately noticed Dugu Yan standing in front of her, and her healing soul skill, like a warm spring breeze, brushed over Dugu Yan once again.
The injury, which was already half healed, began to recover even faster.
"Damn it, it was so close!"
Although Mi'er's eyes were already blurry, as if shrouded in a mist, it was quite remarkable that she could still maintain her condition while kneeling, given that she had been poisoned. At this moment, for her to use her martial spirit was simply a pipe dream.
If she makes the slightest move now, the toxin's invasion will accelerate like a flood bursting its banks, and by then, she probably won't even have a chance to resist.
It's just poisoning now, and there's still a chance to get an antidote, so Mi'er chooses to remain calm and steadfast as a rock.
At the same time, she used a portion of her soul power that had not yet been invaded by the toxins to build an unbreakable defense for the organs in her body that could absorb the toxins.
Of course, all of this was just a desperate struggle, and Wu Heyi could only watch helplessly as the poisonous fog spread across the entire field like a surging tide. He could only retreat continuously, because at this moment, he was the only one in the entire team who was not poisoned.
