Chapter 168: Reinforcements
Heavy raindrops pelted his face, carrying a slight sting.
Luo Ji, supporting someone for the first time, looked at the boundless mountain forest before him, utterly bewildered.
“Damn it! Is the landing spot random?”
No, his head hurts.
He rubbed his temples vigorously, then glanced back at Liu Zheng and the others, who were full of curiosity.
“Anyway, let’s go under a tree to shelter from the rain first…”
Standing under a lush, leafy tree, Luo Ji quickly opened the system map.
On the map, besides a green circular cursor representing their current location, the surrounding area was completely dark.
Anyone who had played games would know this meant the map hadn’t been explored yet.
Only after exploration would the black fog covering that map area dissipate.
But what was the situation now?
Did he have time to slowly explore the map?
Clearly not.
He decisively tried to send a message to Ye Qingxuan.
Perhaps because they were already in the same world, their message barrier had been lifted, and the message was sent successfully.
Getting straight to the point, Luo Ji stated directly.
“I’m already in your world, but the landing position is random.
It might be nearby, but the problem now is that I can’t confirm your location at all. Try to share your map with me.”
“Okay, wait a moment, I’ll try.”
About a few minutes after receiving the message, the system notification sounded in Luo Ji’s mind again.
[System notification: Your ally ‘Ye Qingxuan’ has requested to synchronize map information. Do you accept?]
“Accept!”
The ability to share map information truly made Luo Ji relieved.
At least he wouldn’t have to run around like a headless chicken.
The moment the map information was synchronized, the black fog in this entire area almost completely dispersed.
It seemed Ye Qingxuan hadn’t forgotten his instructions and had thoroughly explored the surrounding terrain.
After a quick scan, a camp marker appeared in Luo Ji’s sight.
Upon seeing it, he decisively sent a message to Ye Qingxuan to confirm.
And Ye Qingxuan replied immediately.
“That marker is indeed my tribe’s camp, but it has been discovered by the invaders.”
“I’ve now moved the tribe’s people to a cave deep in the mountains.”
“If you drag the map to the upper left corner, there should be a marker.”
Luo Ji did as instructed.
After moving the map, a blue circular cursor, indicating an allied force, appeared in his view.
“Got it, but you abandoned your camp. Are your resources okay? Don’t tell me you’re back to square one overnight.”
“Don’t worry, the camp only had a small portion of resources. Most of the resources are stockpiled here. The cave I’m in now is actually my resource storage.”
“So, those red marks on the map are the invaders?”
“I marked those red marks. When I last confirmed their location, those invaders were indeed active in that area, but I don’t know if they’re still there now…”
Ye Qingxuan’s reply came quickly, proving how anxious she was at the moment.
“What should we do?”
“Don’t panic. If it’s just one Cao Peng, I can easily wipe him out. The key is that after you request support, the opponent also gains the authority to request support and dispatch more troops. If he has a powerful player ally, things might get a bit tricky.”
After sending a message, Luo Ji quickly followed up with another question.
“Did you hear a system notification on your side? If a new player invades, as a player in this world, you should receive a system notification.”
“Not yet.”
“Alright, don’t be careless. The enemy’s reinforcements also need some time to respond.”
Luo Ji quickly warned, concerned that Ye Qingxuan might underestimate the enemy.
“Anyway, I’ll head towards the red marker’s location first. If I can easily deal with Cao Peng, that would be for the best.”
“Do you need me to come out and meet you? I’ve been following your tactics, using the advantage of the forest for guerrilla warfare against them, and our troop casualties aren’t high. We still have the strength to fight.”
Actually, in Luo Ji’s opinion, he could handle it by himself.
However, on second thought, letting Ye Qingxuan bring people out to gain some experience would be good too.
After experiencing this once, they would naturally know what to expect when facing a second player invasion.
“Okay, keep an eye on the map. Wait until the cursor representing me gets close to that area before you come out.
My melee troops are shield-axe soldiers, and my ranged units are archers. They’re all wearing leather armor, so they should be easy to distinguish.”
“Yes, I understand!”
Closing the message window, Luo Ji let out a long breath.
After all, it was his first time supporting someone else, and he was a little nervous.
However, after getting information and map details, his confidence in this support battle undoubtedly soared.
Keeping the system map open and fixed in position, Luo Ji confirmed the route, then waved his hand.
“Everyone, follow me, and remember to watch your step…”
Luo Ji dared not walk too quickly.
Not just his warriors, but even he himself was attempting to walk through the forest in a thunderstorm for the first time.
The muddy and slippery ground was far worse than he had imagined.
If he slipped, he would likely fall directly down the mountain, and the consequences were unimaginable.
That Cao Peng could stubbornly hold on and not retreat in such harsh conditions, his lack of reason truly made him a special talent.
As Luo Ji led his subordinates step by step towards the red mark, in the mountain cave deep in the forest, Ye Qingxuan, who had been full of worry just a moment ago, looked completely relieved after closing the message window.
Her expression was one of utter relief, making Ye Feixing and Ye Hua look at each other in confusion.
“Chief, are you…?”
“Everyone, prepare yourselves. Later, listen to my command, and we will go out to meet the enemy!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s expressions became even more bewildered.
Ye Hua frowned.
“Chief, you just said we couldn’t fight them head-on, so why now…?”
“The situation is different now!”
Ye Qingxuan said confidently.
“The situation is different?”
Ye Hua looked stunned.
“How is it different?”
“Our reinforcements have arrived!”
“Reinforcements?”
Ye Hua and the others looked completely bewildered, with hints of worry on their faces.
Seeing their confusion and worry, Ye Qingxuan wanted to explain, but she didn’t know how to talk about player-related matters.
Finally, she simply declared.
“Anyway, the person who came to support me this time is someone I can absolutely trust!”
“So don’t worry everyone!”
