Chapter 184: The Players Trapped in a Desperate Situation

"What!" Zhao Yuxin immediately stopped the work in her hands and asked urgently, "What about the people we are familiar with? Do they need help?"

Zhu Zhiquan checked his private messages again and found that only Huang Jing and the other girl had not replied, then he guessed, "It's hard to say. Right now, only Huang Jing and Li Yue haven't replied."

Zhao Yuxin paced back and forth and said, "Then what should we do? If they don't reply, we don't even know where to go to save them!"

Zhu Zhiquan looked at his friends list and said in a deep voice, "No rush. Perhaps they didn't have time to reply. Let's go to the indigenous army's encampment first and wait a bit longer."

"Alright." After hearing Zhu Zhiquan's suggestion, Zhao Yuxin immediately sent private messages to Huang Jing and the others, then asked Zhu Zhiquan, "What about the others? Do the others need our help?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "No need. You should prepare a few more plants first."

Zhao Yuxin gave a hum, then had Xuebao increase the speed of the Tricycle while she continued to create new plants.

Meanwhile, at the indigenous army's encampment, a large number of players were blocking the central military tent, waiting anxiously.

"Sigh~ what do we do? I wonder if the City Lord will agree to provide support?"

"I think the City Lord definitely will. After all, we players and they are grasshoppers on the same rope; it's impossible for him not to save us!"

"I don't think so. What if they just want to use us as cannon fodder?"

"No way, our Player Group is about to be wiped out. If they don't send troops now, I... I... then I can only switch to another Player Group!"

"Good fellow, I thought you would fight to the death for your own Player Group!"

………………

Amidst the noise, Ma Lailaiyin and his subordinates walked out of the tent. Suddenly, the players swarmed forward, each stating their own requests, hoping Ma Lailaiyin would agree to send troops for rescue.

"Quiet!" Bu Nazha let out a roar, and a powerful aura immediately pinned all the players to the ground.

The players were suppressed by Bu Nazha's powerful aura and could not move, so naturally, they did not dare to speak wantonly in front of Ma Lailaiyin.

Ma Lailaiyin looked coldly at the players on the ground, took a temporarily drawn map from his adjutant, and exchanged glances with the generals behind him.

The generals immediately took their respective troops and headed to their assigned mission locations.

After the generals left, the pressure on the players immediately vanished, but they still did not dare to stand up.

Ma Lailaiyin just looked coldly at the players lying on the ground. Seeing that not a single one of these players dared to stand up, Ma Lailaiyin finally shook his head and left the scene in disappointment.

Upon realizing that the City Lord and his party had left, the players stood up one after another to report the situation to their respective leaders.

Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle happened to arrive outside the encampment. Seeing the large-scale mobilization of the army, Zhao Yuxin immediately directed Xuebao to speed up and head over.

"Stop the vehicle in front!" A soldier saw Zhu Zhiquan and the others' Tricycle approaching and immediately raised his weapon to intercept them.

Xuebao saw someone blocking the way and immediately stepped on the brakes. Afterward, Zhao Yuxin jumped off the vehicle and explained, "Sir soldier, may we ask you for the whereabouts of two of our friends?"

"Get lost, get lost, get lost! Don't interfere with our march! If you don't leave now, I won't be polite!" As he spoke, this soldier condensed Magic Power onto his weapon.

"Okay, okay, okay, we're leaving, we're leaving right now." Zhao Yuxin turned and returned to the carriage, and then Xuebao drove the Tricycle away from the army.

After putting some distance between them and the army, Zhao Yuxin complained, "Damn! Are they crazy? We can't even ask a question? These people have such low character!"

Beside her, Zhu Zhiquan stared at his panel, sending private messages to Huang Jing and Li Yue from time to time, but unfortunately, they all sank like a stone in the ocean.

Seeing that he really couldn't contact these two people and these indigenous soldiers refused to provide help, Zhu Zhiquan helplessly suggested, "Azhao, let's follow behind the army and see if we can find Huang Jing and Li Yue along the way."

Zhao Yuxin: "If that doesn't work, let's go ask the Prophet. I feel like he can predict where these two are."

Zhu Zhiquan: "No, I've already contacted Luo Jinrui. Currently, after his older brother helped the people at the stronghold repel the Ant Army, he has been in a coma and it's unknown when he will wake up."

"Fine." Zhao Yuxin had to accept this opinion and let Xuebao drive the Tricycle behind the army.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the nest, Huang Jing and Li Yue had originally followed a Player Group to attack the Nest Core, but as soon as they arrived at the location of the Nest Core, they were surrounded by a large number of Magma Cave ant-men.

Everyone tried to break out in the direction they came from at the first opportunity, only to find that no matter how many times they tried to break out, they would always return to the same spot.

After countless attempts, the leader of that Player Group looked toward the location of the Nest Core, guessing that it was the key to why they were trapped here.

So, he led the team to charge toward the Core, but the Magma Cave ant general seized the opportunity, grabbed them, threw them high into the air, and then they were dismembered by the entire Ant Swarm.

After killing the leader, the Magma Cave ant general let out a sinister laugh, as if mocking them for overestimating their own capabilities. The Ant Swarm below formed a tight formation, and only despair awaited them.

The remaining people, having lost their leader's command, stared blankly at the surrounding Ant Swarm, and quite a few were so scared they wet themselves.

At the critical moment, the group's second-in-command shouted, "Everyone, don't panic! Hold the formation and don't get chaotic; we still have a chance to be saved! Before the leader died, he already posted a distress message on the World Channel. Hold on!"

"Listen to the Deputy Regiment Leader, hurry and hold the formation!"

"Melee fighters on the outside to protect the ranged ones, mages keep your eyes on that Magma Cave ant general!"

"Those without vehicles stay on the outside to protect the vehicles in the middle!"

Soon, everyone reorganized into a battle formation to meet the incoming attack.

The Magma Cave ant general pointed at them and let out a roar, and the Magma Cave ant-men below launched an attack on Huang Jing and the others.

In an instant, cannonballs, fireballs, ice spikes, and more streaked back and forth, and countless people and Magma Cave ant-men fell, forming a tragic picture.

As time passed, everyone's Magic Power and ammunition were about to run out, yet the Magma Cave ant-men still surged in like a tide. Above, the Magma Cave ant general was enjoying everyone's struggle, and every person's wailing and screaming sounded like beautiful music to its ears.

"Deputy Regiment Leader, what do we do? My Magic Power is running low!"

"Deputy Regiment Leader, I'm out of cannonballs, and the materials to make more are almost gone too!"

"Deputy Regiment Leader…………"

The Deputy Regiment Leader looked at the Magma Cave ant general in the sky; that ferocious smile ignited his bloodlust. So, he steeled his heart and gave an order to the Nest Core: "Everyone, charge over together and destroy the Core!"

Receiving the Deputy Regiment Leader's order, everyone immediately mustered their strength to close in on the Nest Core. Huang Jing and Li Yue were even charging at the very front, clearing the way for the Player Group.

Seeing that the prey could still put up such great resistance even when driven to a dead end, the Magma Cave ant general became even more interested, so it descended to the ground to wait for an opportunity.

The charging crowd did not notice at all that the Magma Cave ant general had already landed on the ground and continued to charge toward the location of the Core.

When the Magma Cave ant general's Magic Power struck into their midst, only then did everyone react and counterattack it.

But the Magma Cave ant general vibrated its wings, dodged their attacks, and then flew just above the Ant Swarm, entering their blind spot.

Looking at the Player Group side, because no one possessed the ability to fly, and coupled with the massive Ant Swarm still constantly impacting their formation, everyone could only passively take the hits.
