Online Game: Crazy Skeleton-Chapter 1345 - 1247: The Situation Looks Grim

"What?!"

Lin Yuqing was startled and quickly turned around to see that within the Dark Swamp, a vast army was rushing towards them, a countless number of people!

"Sister, they have too many people. Our force is nothing compared to them, right?"

Sensing the increasingly tense situation, Lin Yuqing felt completely disheartened, "What do we do? This is dangerous now!"

"Haven’t you called your man over yet? Tell him if he doesn’t come now, he won’t have a territory left!"

While Yu Jing was busy directing the defense and marshaling forces without losing composure like her younger sister, who was already flustered even before the enemy arrived.

"Alright, I’m calling him now!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Lin Yuqing hurriedly opened the friends interface, but after a while, she became somewhat panicked, "Sister, Su Ran isn’t online!"

"Hmm?"

Yu Jing was taken aback upon hearing this and gave Lin Yuqing a skeptical look, "Isn’t Su Ran opposed to our race? How could you have him as a friend?"

If Lin Yuqing were to make a phone call in the game, she would appear offline, which is why Yu Jing was doubtful.

"Oh no, look at how confused I am. I was in such a hurry that I couldn’t find his profile in the friends list. I’m making a call now!"

Reminded by Yu Jing, Lin Yuqing realized she had misspoken and quickly opened the built-in phone connection, dialing Su Ran directly.

But.

Su Ran hadn’t charged his phone since he went offline, and Lin Yuqing was doomed not to reach him.

"Sister, Su Ran’s phone is turned off, what should we do?"

Lin Yuqing was completely panicked, at a loss for what to do.

"Turned off? No wonder I couldn’t get through to him last time; I thought the kid had blocked my number."

Yu Jing nodded thoughtfully, comforting Lin Yuqing, "Little sister, no need to worry. If the sky falls, your sister will hold it up."

"Besides, that guy Su Ran has developed his territory so well, these people will have a hard time taking it down!"

"Sister, I thank you on behalf of Su Ran."

"Why bother with thanks, we’re family!"

Yu Jing smiled in response, "I’ve already sent people this way. As long as we can hold them off for a while, I’m confident we can keep them at the base of the mountain!"

"I hope so..."

Lin Yuqing, watching as the army of players drew closer, felt her anxiety steadily spreading until it filled her entire heart, and then, she made a decision, "Sister, I’m not of much help here anyway. I plan to go find him!"

"What? Little sister, do you have a fever? You’re not in Changshi right now; even at the fastest, it would take over five hours to get there!"

Yu Jing was surprised by what her little sister said; it was the Spring Festival, and they were at their hometown, which was far from Changshi. But after weighing the situation before her, she said, "I still need to be here to lead, and I really can’t leave. Let’s do this, let Uncle Kang take you. That way, I’ll be at ease."

Uncle Kang was Father Lin’s driver, and Yu Jing even learned her driving skills from him. When it came to driving, the person Yu Jing admired the most was Uncle Kang.

"Okay, I’ll call Uncle Kang now. Oh, and sister, we absolutely can’t tell dad about this. It’s the New Year’s season, and it’s late. Going to a boy’s house will definitely get me a scolding!"

Thinking about her father’s likely angry reaction, Lin Yuqing couldn’t help but bite her lip.

"It’s useless; he’ll find out sooner or later. This round trip will take an entire day. Besides, Uncle Kang has such a good relationship with dad, even if I don’t tell him, Uncle Kang will."

"Ah? Isn’t that just asking for trouble? No, I can’t go to Uncle Kang."

It was then that Lin Yuqing realized she had been too naive.

"It’s fine. Just say that Su Ran and Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained are familiar, and use him as a breakthrough to strive for the Dream Mirror!"

"But that’s a mission dad gave you. Can we trust Uncle Kang?"

"Then just say you’re going to meet a lover, he’ll definitely believe that!"

"Sister, how could you do this!"

...

After Lin Yuqing logged off, it wasn’t long before the army of players had already arrived at the banks of the Dark Swamp.

Bai Bian Yao Ling split from the group, walked up front alone, and faced Yu Jing in the air.

"Guild Leader Yu Jing, I said I would come back, and I really didn’t expect to find you still here, persistently holding your ground."

"Bai Bian Yao Ling, are you sure you want to go against me?"

Yu Jing’s eyes were icy, her voice utterly devoid of warmth, "Before any conflict arises, let me remind you one more time, it’s still not too late to back out."

"Guild Leader Yu Jing, it’s not that I, Yao Ling, don’t give you face, but my grudge with Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained is irreconcilable! Please step aside, today’s business doesn’t involve you at all!"

Sister Ling stood her ground, her presence undiminished even by Yu Jing’s stature.

"No involvement at all? How amusing."

Yu Jing’s tone suddenly rose, "Have you even thought about why I would come here if it wasn’t my concern? Bored out of my mind? Let me tell you the truth, this territory isn’t controlled by Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained, but someone else!"

"Stop with these tricks! Don’t try to distort the truth, I have enough evidence that this territory belongs to Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained!"

Sister Ling, annoyed yet laughing, her voice becoming shrill, "Guild Leader Yu Jing, I’ll ask you one last time, will you step aside or not? If you insist on opposing me, then don’t blame me for being impolite!"

"What’s the rush? Look at you, ready to bite my head off. We have no old grudges. If you have evidence, let’s hear it. This could all be a misunderstanding."

Yu Jing was stalling for time, playing the peacemaker with a smile, "Look, the martial arts tournament has been over for so long, yet Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained hasn’t shown his face. That means he’s not threatened by you. Wouldn’t it be simpler to take your people and settle the score with him directly? Revenge should be straightforward, why make it so complicated?"

"Him not showing up is perfect! I must have this territory!"

"Eh? So that’s how it is, you’re purely after the territory, all that life-and-death vendetta is just a smokescreen to fool people!"

Yu Jing sneered, descending two body lengths on her phoenix, "Bai Bian Yao Ling, you really disappoint me. As a public figure, you use your power to fulfill your greedy desires, how shameless!"

"You... Guild Leader Yu Jing, since you’re so unappreciative, I can only offend!"

Sister Ling took a deep breath, unwilling to waste any more words with Yu Jing, raised her hand to signal, and the large group that had been waiting behind her now stepped forward.

"Ah ha, as if I’d be afraid of you?"

With Yu Jing’s temperament, how could she be intimidated by threats? She had forgotten her initial intention to delay and quickly deployed her elite forces, readying for defense.

"Kill without mercy anyone who dares to stop us!"

At this moment, Bai Bian Yao Ling’s eyes shone with a murderous look. Mounted on a giant turtle, she led the charge, the first to launch an attack toward the array of players set up ahead.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Yu Jing’s subordinates, all elites among elites, capable of taking on ten at a time even in real life, were unafraid of the overwhelming difference in force. With thunderous battle cries, they were like a fierce and vehement tiger-wolf brigade!
