And now he stood before an endless expanse of mountains and forests, feeling somewhat dazed.
Damn.
Is a landing point random? No, I can't think about that now.
My head hurts.
He rubbed his brow forcefully and then glanced back at Lu Jang and the others who were all looking at him with curiosity.
Anyway, let's find some cover from the rain under the trees first.
Standing beneath a lush tree, Lu Gi quickly opened the system map.
On the map, aside from a green circular cursor representing their current location, the surrounding area was completely black.
Those who have played games should know that this indicates an unexplored map state.
The black fog covering that area will dissipate only after exploration.
But what is the situation now? Does he have time to explore the map slowly? Obviously not.
He quickly tried to send a message to Yiqing Shen.
Perhaps because they were both in the same world now.
The message blocking between them had been lifted and the message was sent successfully.
Without beating around the bush, Luog stated directly, "I am already in your world, but the landing position is random, possibly nearby.
" The issue now is that I can't confirm your location at all.
Can you try to share the map with me? Okay, wait a moment.
I'll try.
After receiving the message, a few minutes passed before system notification once again echoed in Luog's mind.
System notification, your ally, Ching Schuan has requested to synchronize map information with you.
Do you accept? Accept.
The ability to share map information was a relief for Lu G.
At least he wouldn't te have to run around like a headless chicken.
The moment the map information synchronization was completed, the black fog in that entire area almost completely dissipated.
It seemed Ching Shien hadn't forgotten his instructions and had thoroughly explored the surrounding terrain.
After a quick glance, a camp marker appeared in Lu Gi's view.
Seeing it, he quickly sent a message to confirm with Yiqing Shen.
Her reply was, "That marker is indeed my trib's camp, but it has already been discovered by invaders.
I have moved the tribe people to a cave deep in the mountains.
You should see a marker if you pull the map to the upper left.
Lu G followed her instructions.
And after moving the map, a blue circular cursor indicating allies appeared in his sight.
Got it.
But you abandoned the camp directly.
Are you sure about the resources? Don't let it turn into a disaster when you return.
Don't worry, there are only a small portion of resources in the camp.
The vast majority of resources are stored here.
The cave I'm in should be considered my resource warehouse.
So those red markers on the map are the invaders.
Those red markers are what I marked.
When I confirmed the location earlier, those invaders were indeed active in that area.
But I don't know if they're still there now.
Yinguan's reply came quickly, proving how anxious she was at the moment.
What should we do? Don't panic.
If it's just Xiao Pong, I can easily take him down.
The key is that after you requested support, the opponent also gains the authority to request reinforcements and send additional troops.
If he has a strong player ally, things could get tricky.
After sending that message, Lu G quickly followed up.
Did you hear any system notifications? If new players invade as a player in this world, you should receive a system notification.
Not at the moment.
Don't let your guard down.
It takes some time for their reinforcements to respond.
Worried that YQ Ching Shin might underestimate the situation, Lu Gi reminded her, "Anyway, I'll head toward the location of the red cursor.
If I can easily deal with that, Xiao Pong, that would be great.
Do you need me to come out to assist you? I've been following the tactics you set up before.
Using the advantages of the mountains and forests to engage in guerrilla warfare, and our true casualties haven te been significant.
We still have fighting strength.
In fact, Lu Gi thought he could handle it alone.
But then he considered that it would be good for Ye to bring people out to gain experience.
After going through this once, facing the second player invasion would naturally be easier for her.
All right, keep an eye on the map.
Come out when my cursor gets close to that area.
My melee troops are shield axemen and the ranged units are archers, all wearing leather armor.
They should be easy to distinguish.
Got it.
Closing the message window.
Lu Gi let out a long sigh.
After all, it was his first time supporting someone else, and he felt a bit nervous.
However, with the intelligence and map information in hand, his confidence in this support battle undoubtedly soared.
He kept the system map open and fixed the position, confirmed the route, and then waved his hand.
Everyone, follow me, and remember to watch your step.
Lu G didn't te dare to move too quickly.
Not only were his soldiers following him, but even he was also trying to navigate the mountains and forests in the rain for the first time.
The muddy and slippery ground was far worse than he had imagined.
If he slipped, he would likely fall straight down the mountain with obvious consequences.
The fact that Xiao Pong could hold his ground in such harsh conditions without retreating was quite impressive.
While Luo Gi and his subordinates made their way step by step toward the red cursor, on the other side in the cave deep in the forest, Yeiqing Shin, who had just moments ago worn a worried expression, relaxed completely after closing the message window, appearing visibly relieved, which left Ye Fing, Yei Hua, and others exchanging glances.
Leader, what is going on? Everyone, prepare yourselves.
Listen to my orders and get ready to confront them.
As soon as she said this, everyone s expressions turned even more confused.
Yihwa frowned.
Leader, you just said we shun T engaged directly.
Why now? The situation is different now? Ying Xian said confidently.
How is it different? Yiwa asked puzzled.
My reinforcements have arrived.
Reinforcements? Yi Hua and the others looked bewildered with hints of worry on their faces.
Seeing the confusion and concern on everyone as faces, Eching Shien wanted to explain, but she wasn't sure how to articulate the player related matters.
In the end, she simply stated, "In any case, the people coming to support me are absolutely trustworthy.
Everyone, don't worry.
The update is here.
Thanks to book friend, for the monthly votes.
" End of this chapter.
Chapter 169.
Tracking and locking on thunderstorms come quickly and leave just as fast.
Not long after the overall rainfall began to noticeably decrease, which was undoubtedly good news for Lu G and the others.
For them, whom mainly lived in the plains, the difficult mountainous terrain had a considerable impact.
If the rain could stop, it would be a great help.
Referring to the map, after walking for a while, Lu G quickly discovered a large number of footprints left by the other party.
After walking a bit further, the footprints began to noticeably spread out, or rather seemed to have been deliberately trampled to confuse, leading in various different directions.
A faint retreat, Lu Gi rubbed his chin, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
