I'm also desperate.

Chapter 39 Core Crisis

Chapter 190 Fire Gathering Order! Save the Village!

  Fang Yue turned to look at Niu Niu beside him.

  The one who had just spoken wasn't him, but Niu Niu.

  Fang Yue was a little surprised that Niu Niu actually knew about the Fire Gathering Order.

  But then he thought about it and understood. Niu Niu was, after all, a reserve member of the patrol team. Although he wasn't official, he would still be taught the necessary knowledge.

  Niu Niu also looked at Fang Yue, his face full of fear.

  "Don't panic!"

  Fang Yue reassured him and frowned in thought.

  The flame signal that had just risen and exploded in the night sky like fireworks was called the Fire Gathering Order.

  The so-called Fire Gathering Order was a rescue signal that only the three captains of Gu Yue Village were qualified to send. Every time it appeared, it represented a huge crisis related to the life and death of Gu Yue Village!

  Chief Captain Chen naturally also had the qualification to launch a Fire Gathering Order for help, but he died silently in the Chen mansion without even being able to send out a distress signal.

  That's why Fang Yue was so deeply apprehensive about the weirdness in the Chen mansion, and he didn't even dare to think about it any further.

  And this Fire Gathering Order was issued from the direction of the village center.

  If Fang Yue remembered correctly, that location was… the location of the earth core!

  "The earth core is in danger! The target of the weirdness is the earth core of Gu Yue Village!"

  Fang Yue's expression sank.

  The earth core contained a large amount of yang life essence, which was burned to provide the human soul fire that protected the entire village!

  If the earth core was destroyed and the human soul fire extinguished, everyone in Gu Yue Village would be exposed to the cold night!

  At that time, the night chill would erode their bodies, killing everyone in Gu Yue Village overnight!

  In other words, the entire village would be destroyed overnight!

  Hiss—

  After understanding this point, Fang Yue felt a chill for the means of the weirdness.

  It wasn't giving them a way out. How were they supposed to deal with this?

  The earth core was the responsibility of Captain You Linling to guard.

  This Fire Gathering Order was obviously issued by Captain Lin Ling.

  Even Lin Ling needed to issue a Fire Gathering Order for help, so the weirdness he was dealing with was definitely extraordinary.

  "Should I go over to help? Or… escape Gu Yue Village?"

  Fang Yue pondered slightly and made a decision.

  The wilderness was full of weirdness, with dangers at every step. It was extremely dangerous.

  With Fang Yue's current strength, he only had security when staying in Gu Yue Village.

  "Ye-ge, let's retreat! This wave is indeed a weird attack on the village. This beastly official is holding an event to kill all the players in Gu Yue Village!"

  Niu Niu started to bring out his theory of monster siege again. Fang Yue's mouth twitched, but he didn't respond. Instead, he held up the torch, pulled him, and hurried towards the direction of the Fire Gathering Order.

  "Ye-ge! What are you doing, Ye-ge! We're not that close! Go die yourself!"

  The Fire Gathering Order had scared Niu Niu. He had just gotten his life back, and he didn't want to go die.

  Fang Yue let go of his hand and said earnestly, "Niu Niu, look at the [Weird Curse] on your body. Do you think you can survive without the village? Look at the crisis the village is facing now. If you take the opportunity to make a contribution, the superiors will definitely find a way to cure your [Weird Curse], right?"

  These words hit the nail on the head, leaving Niu Niu unable to refute.

  He suffered from the [Weird Curse] and didn't have Fang Yue's physique, so he could only wait for the big shots of Gu Yue Village to treat him.

  But without achievements, without money, just an ordinary reserve member of the patrol team, why would others bother to save him? Just because you have a big face?

  "At worst, I'll restart the character…"

  Even Niu Niu himself didn't believe these words.

  Lucky gift package, innate divine power talent, he really couldn't bear to give up like this, otherwise he wouldn't have struggled so many times, wanting to live.

  Fang Yue shook his head, "Alright then, you go. I'll go support the Fire Gathering Order myself. But think clearly, now is the time to protect the earth core and make great contributions. In the future, yang life essence, equipment, and even martial arts cultivation techniques, all of these have a chance to be obtained. Once you miss this village, there won't be another."

  After speaking, Fang Yue didn't force Niu Niu any further and ran forward with the torch.

  Opportunity, benefits, risks, Fang Yue had made it clear. He had already done his best for his boss.

  If it was an ordinary player who didn't pay, Fang Yue would have abandoned them and ran away long ago.

  Analyzing problems and drawing conclusions also had a cost. It was valuable information.

  "Ye-ge? Ye-ge, are you really leaving? Ye-ge, wait for me! Ye-ge!!"

  Seeing that Fang Yue ran away without looking back, Niu Niu really panicked and quickly chased after him.

  But before he could catch up much, he saw Fang Yue suddenly stop.

  "Ye-ge? What's wrong…"

  Niu Niu's questioning voice slowly lowered.

  Because he also saw that around them, there were clusters of flame lights appearing.

  Each cluster of light represented a patrol team of six people.

  These lights were in front and behind, near and far, approaching them!

  "So many people?! We're surrounded!"

  Niu Niu panicked and quickly hid behind Fang Yue.

  "What are you doing hiding behind me?"

  "Ye-ge's back gives me a sense of security!"

  "…I suggest you see a psychologist after you log out of the game."

  As the two were talking, the firelights gradually approached.

  "Ye-ge, there are too many people! What do we do?"

  They had just killed Xin Jue, and now they were still being treated as weirdness.

  "Fight a bloody path out! Find Captain Lin to be our backer. Although Captain Lin is jealous, he is fair in meting out rewards and punishments. Even if he dislikes me, he will act impartially and protect us!"

  If he hadn't interacted with Lin Ling before and knew what kind of person he was, Fang Yue really wouldn't dare to seek help from a captain in a situation where he was being treated as weirdness.

  "Fight a bloody path out, then wouldn't I be dead?!"

  "Good luck to you!"

  With so many people, Fang Yue didn't have much confidence either.

  As the two were waiting solemnly, the patrol team that approached first was getting closer.

  "Here they come!"

  Fang Yue whispered, his muscles tensed, ready to exert force at any time.

  But then he saw that the patrol team actually had more than a dozen people!

  They ran past the two of them with torches, not stopping at all.

  While Fang Yue and Niu Niu were stunned, they saw the patrol team that had passed by suddenly stop, and a bald-headed guy holding a torch said,

  "What are you two standing there for? Keep up! Let's go support the Fire Gathering Order together!"

  "Ah… oh oh!"

  Fang Yue reacted, responded, exchanged a look with Niu Niu, and mixed into this patrol team.

  It seemed that the five members of the Xin Jue team who had escaped hadn't spread the news about what they had done yet.

  But that was right. The matter had only happened a short while ago, and the Fire Gathering Order had exploded in the night sky. Who would care about anything else?

  The priority of the Fire Gathering Order's rescue was the highest among all orders, related to the life and death of the village!

  In the face of such a major crisis, everything could be postponed!

  Fang Yue and Niu Niu mixed in with the team and acted with the large group.

  Then they found that more and more small teams were joining this large group.

  All the small firelights that had appeared earlier were converging towards this team.

  Only then did Fang Yue learn from others that the bald guy who had invited the two of them into the team was actually the deputy captain, called Lao Yang.

  He didn't know what means he had used, but everyone else was converging towards Lao Yang's team, and soon a large group of more than a hundred people was formed.

  Layers of firelight, overlapping figures, the momentum was earth-shattering!

  "Fire Gathering Order! Save the village!"

  "Fire Gathering Order! Save the village!"

  "Fire Gathering Order! Save the village!"
