203: Girl helps girl

Beside her, Li Yun's head felt like it was about to explode.

That Elephant Ze actually chose to cooperate with the Main God System; how could there be such a stupid orc?!

Li Yun saw that the Main God System seemed to want to kill Elephant Ze to seize control of his body, and she felt that if she didn't run now, she would lose her life!

A small blade she had hidden earlier appeared in her hand. She used it to cut the vines binding her and worked hard to untie the ropes. While Elephant Ze was unable to move, she ran outside as fast as she could.

Dad... Grandma... I want to live!

Li Yun ran out in a blind panic.

There was something unknown in the underground cave that could block the System.

Even the System Main God couldn't directly enter the underground to catch her, instead ordering the orcs to go in and seize her.

To avoid the System, she could only rely on this place!

System 006 screamed: 【Li Yun, you are not allowed to go down!】

【If you go down, you won't be able to save your father!】

"Piss off! Bullshit!!" Li Yun roared, "If I believe another word from you Systems, I'm a pig!!"

Li Yun endured the sharp pain in her head and the System's continuous mental control.

A countdown appeared before her eyes.

It showed 1:00:00.

【Li Yun, if you don't listen to me, you will explode in one hour.】

"You're just a System and you dare to threaten me? Go ahead and explode for me to see!"

Several Males in the Mining Area came forward to ask.

"Female, do you need any help?"

Li Yun looked up, her eyes swollen and bloodshot. She clutched her head and pushed aside the Males in front of her. "Get lost, all of you, get lost!!!"

After Nan Zhisui came out of the underground cave, she happened to see Li Yun.

"Li Yun!"

Li Yun blinked her eyes and recognized Nan Zhisui. "Nan Zhisui!"

Nan Zhisui ran toward Li Yun, and Li Yun stumbled into Nan Zhisui's arms.

Enduring the sharp pain in her head, she warned her: "Nan Zhisui... run... the Main God System has bound Priest Elephant Ze. It hasn't noticed you yet, run!"

Nan Zhisui asked: "Is System 006 affecting you?"

"Yeah..." Li Yun's voice was muffled. "Run, don't worry about me. Save whoever can be saved!"

Nan Zhisui comforted her: "I'm not running. Don't be afraid, I'm here. I'll take you with me!"

Li Yun: "No, I have a System on me, I can't escape. You run!! Run!!!"

Without a word, Nan Zhisui hoisted Li Yun onto her back. She was strong, so carrying her didn't take much effort.

Li Yun was frustrated by her stubbornness. "Nan Zhisui, didn't you hear me tell you to run? Run now! I don't want both of us to die. Don't worry about me!"

Nan Zhisui: "I can't leave you alone."

"Nan Zhisui!"

She said: "Li Yun, I went back to Earth once and saw your father and grandmother."

Li Yun clutched her head, sobbing quietly in pain. "You went back to see them?"

How could Nan Zhisui bear to let such a strong girl come to harm?

She held her firmly and steadied her voice, saying: "Yes. Li Yun, your father is still alive, and he's waiting for you to come home. So, try a little harder, and we'll survive together!"

Li Yun's slender arms tightened around her dependently. "It's so hard, Nan Zhisui. It's so hard. I've been struggling to live for so many years; I'm almost at my limit."

"I'm here. Don't be afraid, Li Yun. Together, we'll carve out a path to survival."

After fighting alone for so many years, the girl had finally found a companion to walk alongside. Her muffled voice sounded like she was crying. "Okay."

Nan Zhisui asked: "I'm taking you underground now. The System doesn't dare to go there, right?"

Li Yun said: "I think they fear something underground. Let's go down first; I think I might know what it is."

"Okay!"

The three Males protected the two Females as they entered the underground.

System 006 roared crazily in Li Yun's ear: 【Li Yun, you can't escape my control! You definitely won't escape my control!】

【Main God! Li Yun went down, Li Yun went down again!!】

Li Yun clutched her head and leaned against Nan Zhisui as they entered the underground mining tunnel... Li Yun wouldn't accept contact from anyone else; she didn't trust Wolf Day, didn't trust Wolf Night, and didn't trust Chi Xiao.

She only trusted Nan Zhisui and only accepted her touch.

Nan Zhisui carried her deep into the underground.

Li Yun said: "Do we really have a way to defeat the Main God System?"

"We do. Don't worry."

Nan Zhisui was truly charismatic. Although the shoulders before her were just as small as her own, Li Yun felt exceptionally secure and at ease.

Li Yun hugged her and rubbed against her slightly. "I can't hear System 006's voice anymore. My head finally feels better."

Nan Zhisui chuckled softly, "Mhm."

Chi Xiao, Wolf Day, and Wolf Night protected the two girls as they went deep underground.

After feeling much better, Li Yun got off Nan Zhisui's back and led the way.

She was more familiar with this underground cave than anyone. She wove through the passages and reached the depths of the cave.

"Here! It's this seven-colored Ore."

After Li Yun pushed aside the stones blocking the seven-colored Ore, Nan Zhisui saw a very beautiful seven-colored Ore.

Li Yun said: "I suspect it's this stone that keeps the Systems outside from approaching. But I've tried many times and I can't move it."

The beast god's voice rang in Nan Zhisui's mind: 【This is the World Stone of the Beast World.】

"World Stone?"

【The World Stone is a stone naturally formed by a Beast World to protect itself and resist external forces. It is very powerful and can indeed suppress the System.】

Nan Zhisui asked: "I'm also an external being; why doesn't it suppress me?"

【Because the World Stone has judged you to be harmless.】

Nan Zhisui: "..." Okay then.

"Let me try." Wolf Night stepped forward and tried, but even with all his strength, he couldn't lift the World Stone.

Wolf Day also tried, but he too couldn't lift the World Stone.

Chi Xiao said: "I'll try."

The tall and strong Fire Chi Eagle rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, using all his strength, but he still couldn't lift the World Stone.

Li Yun said: "It's because it couldn't be picked up that I could only hide underground and not leave the cave."

Nan Zhisui said: "I'll try too."

Nan Zhisui stepped forward and lightly touched the World Stone. Whether or not it was an illusion, she felt the World Stone throb in her palm, and a friendly, warm current flowed from it into her hand.

【Nan Zhisui, it seems to like you.】

"Hm?"

The beast god chuckled softly: 【Try picking it up.】

Nan Zhisui's hands cupped the World Stone, and this stone that even Chi Xiao couldn't move was picked up by her just like that!

Li Yun was stunned.

"Nan, Nan Zhisui, you actually picked it up!!!"

Looking at Nan Zhisui like this, Li Yun suddenly felt a great sense of security.

The World Stone could block System 006.

Nan Zhisui could pick up the World Stone.

In other words, as long as she followed Nan Zhisui, she wouldn't hear the System's noisy voice. Why hesitate? She had to stick close to her!

The World Stone was communicating with Nan Zhisui in a friendly manner. She asked: "Can you withdraw your power?"

The World Stone flashed, as if telling her, "Sure."

A plan formed in Nan Zhisui's mind...
