Chapter 1368

Qiyue and the others had already grown used to it, and on top of that they were layered with the energy of their inherited enhancement; the two sensations converged, and as long as they gritted their teeth they could steady their bodies.

But those female soldiers were a completely different story.

In an instant, their attacks stopped entirely.

They trembled uncontrollably.

All of them let out startled cries.

Gu Qing cursed, "You're using this moment to boost your stats, hurry up and attack! What are you all standing around in a daze for? Did I tell you to enjoy it?"

The female soldiers' faces all flushed red.

They all gripped their weapons tight, endured the strange sensation, and attacked frantically while trembling.

Their every stat was now boosted, their morale and mood were both maxed out, and their killing power had explosively increased.

The others were also attacking frantically.

Finally, in the face of the female soldiers' death-defying assault, the Emperor Shi Laimu's super recovery ability was helpless.

Its body was covered in slash marks and bullet holes.

Gelatin oozed everywhere.

Its entire body was now even smaller than those giant Shi Laimu.

It seemed to want to run, but it was surrounded on all sides by female soldiers attacking desperately.

No way to escape.

Boom!

It exploded.

Once again, a viscous rain fell from the sky.

All the female soldiers lay on the ground.

Completely ignoring the rotting, foul-smelling dead leaves and the disgusting slime.

They breathed in great gulps, not wanting to move a single muscle.

Su Qin felt like her arms were about to break.

She also let out a sigh of relief, and clutching her arm she rushed toward Tang Ruan.

Gu Qing also stood up and rushed toward Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan was panting in great gulps, greedily breathing the air; her mouth, nose, and ears were all clogged with gelatin, but her physical condition was fine.

If she was fine, then Zhao Chi was fine.

Gu Qing couldn't stand anymore either; just like those female soldiers, she lay down directly, looking at the sky with an expression of release.

Still, she forced herself to sit up and apologize to the female soldiers for what she'd said earlier.

The female soldiers all shook their heads with red faces.

None of them minded at all.

Actually Gu Qing also knew that in that kind of situation she couldn't blame the female soldiers—their reactions had been completely normal.

After all, they had never experienced that kind of feeling before.

Their very first time feeling it was an explosive sensation cranked all the way to the max; of course they couldn't hold it in.

Let alone them.

Even women as experienced as Gu Qing and the others found it hard to endure.

Fortunately, the female soldiers didn't mind Gu Qing's words at all.

Gu Qing let out a sigh of relief and flopped down into the mud.

This time Zhao Chi hadn't arranged for Su Qin's beastmen and human warriors to fight at all.

Because they were useless.

Not that they were too weak—just that they weren't strong enough.

In a battle of this level, sending them in would be sending them to their deaths.

And dying without accomplishing anything.

Zhao Chi didn't care whether they lived or died.

But they were Su Qin's property—elves who needed to be protected in the later battles.

Since they couldn't be put to use, he wouldn't casually let them suffer losses.

Seeing Zhao Chi look their way, Su Qin's beastman and human soldiers didn't even dare to breathe loudly, all standing ramrod-straight in terror.

In this battle, they could say they hadn't contributed a single thing.

Although the main reason was that they simply hadn't been given the order to fight.

Even so, they were still scared.

Fortunately, Zhao Chi only glanced at them, then turned his head away.

They immediately felt their whole bodies relax; those few seconds of Zhao Chi looking their way had tired them as much as a real battle.

Tang Ruan already stood up.

She was exhausted, but she was excited, her morale was high, and she could fight against her own body.

Zhao Chi opened her palm.

The Shi Laimu bloodline in her hand was still coated in gelatin.

He shook off the gelatin and, with the feeling of drawing a lottery, looked at the bloodline.

【You have obtained item: Pristine Shi Laimu Bloodline ×1】

Heh!

Awesome!

What a Primal Bloodline!

All their effort really hadn't been for nothing.

Zhao Chi instantly felt it had all been worth it.

And this kind of collective effort brings a collective reward.

At the very least, this Primal Bloodline has a high chance of unlocking a useful racial gene.

Now everyone was exhausted, but there was still the work of clearing out the Shi Laimu nest to be done.

Conveniently, Su Qin's 300 soldiers could take on this task.

At the same time, he called out the village's female craftsmen to have them search and scavenge together.

Zhao Chi had confirmed that the Shi Laimu camp was now verified to be cleared out.

There was no problem with safety.

Although Su Qin's arm was extremely painful, she had no other issues.

She could be in charge of leading those soldiers to search and haul things in the nest.

Everyone else... sleep on the spot.

Heaven as a blanket, earth as a bed.

Sleep for two hours, and everyone would recover.

Anyway, everyone was already lying in slime, so dirty or not didn't matter anymore.

And under extreme exhaustion, it simply didn't matter where one slept.

"Sleep on the spot!"

Zhao Chi really did issue this order.

The female soldiers couldn't help but look at each other and laugh softly.

Laughing and laughing, they really did fall asleep.

Gu Qing refused to sleep, insisting on standing guard nearby.

When she said this, Qi Yue also sat up, wanting to keep watch together.

Tang Ruan... was currently hugging Zhuang Ya, snoring away in deep sleep.

She was rather simple-minded.

When Zhao Chi told them to sleep, she didn't think about anything and just fell straight asleep.

However, she had consecutively used Flesh-and-Blood Wedding Dress many times, which had indeed drained a great deal of her physical condition; she had just been relying on the Masochistic Affection talent to hold on, but in truth she had long been severely overdrawn.

Zhuang Ya was the same.

Absorbing flames and controlling flames consumed a great deal of mental energy.

After all, these all belonged to spiritual energy; manipulating someone else's spiritual energy would extremely drain the mind.
