Chapter 030 I'm Coming to Save You
To prevent his plea for help from falling off the first page of the forum, Zhou Yunshen would post two words every minute: "Help!"
At this moment, he was filled with anxiety.
He had posted the request for help, but he had no idea whether any players would be willing to lend a hand.
Even if a player is willing to help, if that player is too far away from Dazhu Village, it won't be enough to quench their immediate thirst. By the time they arrive, it will probably be too late.
The only good news was that the middle-aged innate martial artist from the Qin family, after speaking with him, disappeared into the darkness and showed no intention of attacking the formation.
Zhou Yunshen kept thinking about things in the game world.
Zhou Yunshen speculated that this middle-aged innate martial artist was probably someone sent by the Qin family to protect the young master of the Qin family, and could be considered a servant of the Qin family.
At that time, the young master of the Qin family, that young cultivator, used an array to trap everyone in the village, treating the trapped people as spirit pets and food.
This middle-aged innate martial artist was responsible for dealing with the demon fox that had cultivated for a hundred years, which was the mountain god that Captain Chen mentioned.
This innate martial artist was not qualified to control the formation set up by his young master, so after he dealt with the hundred-year-old demon fox, he was blocked outside by the formation.
As for why this innate martial artist didn't forcefully break the formation and come in to kill people, Zhou Yun pondered for a moment and felt there were two possibilities.
The first possibility is that even a martial artist with innate abilities would not be able to break through the current trap on their own.
The second possibility is that the formation is rare and precious, and forcibly breaking it would damage the materials used to set it up.
Zhou Yunshen felt that the second possibility was more likely.
If it were the first possibility, even if this innate martial artist couldn't break the formation, he would at least make a few sword strikes on the formation's light barrier as a token gesture, but he didn't.
This innate martial artist was probably waiting for the Qin family leader to arrive.
The person in charge of the Qin family should have a way to retrieve the formation. When the person in charge of the Qin family arrives, it will be the end for this entire village...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshen felt bitter.
Dazhu Village is only about 200 miles away from Xiyun County. In the game world, cultivators with a little skill can fly, and innate martial artists can travel very fast. It shouldn't be long before the Qin family leader arrives.
At that time, not a single person in their village will be able to escape...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunshen became even more anxious.
In his post seeking help, players would occasionally pop up to comment, but they were all just empty messages that were of no use to Zhou Yunshen's current situation.
"Am I really going to die here...?"
"My journey in the world of cultivation has only just begun, is it really going to end so abruptly?"
Zhou Yunshen gritted his teeth, his fingers unconsciously clenching into fists, making a cracking sound.
Unwilling...
He was really unwilling to accept it...
If he had known it would turn out this way, he shouldn't have chosen those five points of cultivation aptitude in the first place.
If he had chosen a family of cultivators or a natal spiritual treasure, he wouldn't be in such a desperate situation today.
No matter how high your cultivation aptitude is, it's useless if you can't grow into a capable individual.
For example, right now, a mere innate martial artist can make him feel deeply powerless, and a cultivation family in a county town can make him experience what despair is.
"I can't wait any longer. I need to get the villagers to break the formation. I need to break it before the Qin family leader arrives. Then I can blend in with the villagers and run away with them. With the villagers as cover, I might be able to escape this innate martial artist's pursuit..." Zhou Yunshen forcibly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and calmly thought about it.
Zhou Yunshen felt that he was being targeted by the innate martial artist outside the formation, and the chances of escaping alive using this method were very slim, but it was the only way he could think of to save himself...
At that moment, a series of footsteps, one heavy and one light, sounded from the gaming phone.
Zhou Xiaoya limped over and, seeing her brother Zhou Erzhu sitting on the ground, she sat down next to him.
Looking at the thin, small girl in front of him, and at her pale, delicate face that showed a hint of helplessness, Zhou Yunshen felt a pang of pain in his heart.
In the real world, he is an only child with no siblings.
In the game world, a younger sister who depends on him for survival has appeared.
Having such a doting younger sister, Zhou Yunshen didn't feel any aversion to it. Over the past few days, he had gradually gotten used to having such a well-behaved and sensible younger sister.
It's actually quite nice to have this feeling of having another family member.
He had thought about curing his sister's leg ailment, about becoming a pillar of support for her in this world, but now, he was barely able to protect himself, and they were both likely to die here...
Zhou Yunshen sighed inwardly, turned to look at his new phone, and habitually refreshed his help request post.
At that moment, a new reply appeared before him.
When Zhou Yun Shen saw the text clearly, his eyes widened, and then a look of wild joy appeared on his face!
The reply he saw was:
Orange Smoothie: "I'm in Luchuan Prefecture of Xuannan Kingdom. Do you have a specific location? Send me your location and I'll come rescue you."
After his initial elation, Zhou Yunshen quickly replied, "Yes, I have the map. I'll send it to you privately right away."
After replying, Zhou Yunshen quickly sent the map of Xiyun County that he had just taken in the game to Orange Smoothie.
This orange smoothie might be his only lifeline, and he has to hold on to it tightly.
Soon, he received a reply from Orange Smoothie: "OK, hang in there. I'll send my protector to rescue you. My protector is a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator; he can fly, and he flies very fast."
"Thank you, brother, I'm really grateful." Zhou Yunshen typed his thanks: "Brother, what's your number on the green chat app? I'll add you."
The other party gave out a string of numbers.
Zhou Yunshen quickly opened the green chat software and added the number.
After the other party accepted the request, Zhou Yunshen quickly typed: "Hello, brother, I'm Yunshen Buzhichu, the one who posted the help request on Tieba."
"Cloud Recesses" is his nickname on Tieba (a Chinese online forum), while in the green chat software, his nickname is simply "Cloud Recesses".
"Hello." The other party replied quickly.
Casually, he sent Zhou Yunshen a screenshot of the game.
In the game screenshot, a candle is lit in a retro-style room, and a middle-aged man wearing a dark blue Taoist robe is bowing his head slightly.
As Zhou Yunshen was looking at the screenshot, the other party sent another message: "My protector has already set off. His name is Lingyou Zhenren. When he arrives, just tell him you are my friend. I have already given him instructions, and he will obey your orders."
Zhou Yunshen quickly replied, "Brother, I can't thank you enough."
He immediately transferred 5000 yuan and typed: "This is the payment. I'll pay you the balance after the crisis is over."
Although Zhou Yunshen felt a pang of regret after sending the 5000 yuan, he still felt a little pained.
Although there is a possibility that the other party is a scammer whose purpose is to swindle him out of his money.
But Zhou Yunshen has now been driven to a dead end, and he has no other choice but to trust the other party.
