Chapter 2181: Enhancement and Production (1)

Nuwa Stone fragment.

Zhao Chi had only known it could save lives before; he hadn't known it could also reset the territory's race.

That was indeed like the Pangu Axe fragment—possessing multiple functions.

Thinking about it, that made sense.

The Nuwa Stone, in his impression, could indeed revive humans and set races.

Unfortunately, everyone knew how useful this thing was, so it was rarely seen on the market.

He'd find a chance to get some later.

With the new Nuwa Stone fragment, he could reset the race of Clear Bamboo Town.

When the time came, Su Qin could also become a Bloodline Lord.

Right now, if Zhao Chi used the Nuwa Stone fragment in hand, he could achieve this purpose immediately.

But that would be meaningless.

Because Su Qin had no personal genes; if she became a Bloodline Lord now, the new branch race wouldn't be able to possess additional genetic abilities, so the effect would be small.

Once good genes were obtained later, they could be used to improve Su Qin, and only then would it have an effect.

Moreover, Zhao Chi needed the Nuwa Stone fragment to save his life, so he couldn't use it now either.

After leaving Su Qin's room, it wasn't yet four in the morning.

Zhao Chi didn't go straight to crafting.

Instead, he first went to Chaoge Town with Zhuang Ya.

Recently, Zhao Chi had been busy with crafting and Su Qin's matters, and had basically neglected everything else.

Now that Su Qin's side was settled, Zhao Chi had some time and could look into the territory's situation.

In terms of time—

Under the effect of the Grand Unity Wheel remnant, Zhao Chi's entire territory had passed 20 days, but only 6 hours had gone by in the greater world.

During these 6 hours, the lords of the World-Breaking Army had racked their brains collecting information and intelligence to aid their decision.

In the end, they still decided to retreat.

Although it was infuriating, it was still better than being completely annihilated.

The tentative plan was to escape through the spatial rift at Horn Cliff Town, feigning a retreat south toward Tianfeng City, but actually just making a turn and fleeing north into the Xuanwu Regiment's position.

But this wouldn't be easy.

Because the north was also blocked by werewolves, who were also preventing the Xuanwu Regiment from coming out through the spatial rift.

Moreover, the werewolves would certainly think of the plan for the White Tiger Regiment to head north and link up with the Xuanwu Regiment, and would definitely set up defenses.

However—

The World-Breaking Army's greatest advantage right now was that the werewolves didn't know their decision.

In the werewolves' view, the World-Breaking Army had many possibilities.

They might fight head-on, fight while retreating, escape through the spatial rift, or flee to various locations.

So the werewolves couldn't specially defend against any single one of them.

This also gave the World-Breaking Army a chance—the only chance to seize the initiative.

Because once the action began, the werewolves could quickly judge the World-Breaking Army's choice.

The World-Breaking Army members had also discussed actually fleeing south toward Tianfeng City.

That way they'd only need to break through one werewolf blockade in the south, which was relatively easy to break through.

But the hard part came after.

That stretch of road was relatively long.

The werewolves had enough time to pursue, and the werewolves were fast, giving them an advantage in pursuit.

Coupled with other forces big and small along the way, they might also join the werewolves in picking apart the World-Breaking Army's White Tiger Regiment.

Everyone was willing to do such things—beat the dying drum, push down the falling wall, beat the drowning dog.

After all, there was profit to be had.

So this plan required sacrificing some lords as bait.

Who would do it?

No one was willing.

So they could only each rely on their own ability; whoever escaped was up to fate.

Fleeing north required breaking through the werewolf blockade in the north, then breaking through the werewolves blockading the Xuanwu Regiment further north—equivalent to two breakthroughs.

But once the breakthrough was complete, the White Tiger Regiment could enter the Xuanwu Regiment's Shubei Town.

Once inside Shubei Town, they would be temporarily safe.

These lords could settle in the various towns and villages north of the World-Breaking Army.

Moreover, there were friendly forces like the Heavenly Court Army and the Iron Blood Army in the north.

They truly had a certain home-field advantage there.

So the difficulty lay in the breakthrough.

After discussion, the White Tiger Regiment members ultimately decided to link up with the Xuanwu Regiment.

Of course, this information was still sealed for now.

Only a few high-ranking members like Li Ruanyu knew.

So at the very least, two more battles had to be fought.

And they were direct confrontations without the aid of formations.

The only reliance was that the first breakthrough would definitely be a surprise attack, with the werewolves relatively scattered; if they could fight quickly, the hope of breakthrough was not small.

But for the second breakthrough, it depends on the werewolves' reaction.

Still, one must allow for the worst in estimating the enemy — assume the foe is as clever as possible.

So when he rushes north for the second breakthrough, the werewolves will react, and that… will absolutely be a hard fight.

But this is already the best choice available right now.

He can only fight it out head-on once.

Hopefully the werewolves' real reaction won't be too fast.

Switching back to Penglai Town's perspective.

During these days, many more little Feathered Oxen have been born.

First, the 300 little Feathered Oxen born to the first generation — this is the 4th litter of the 1st batch of Feathered Oxen, and also the 4th batch of the 2nd generation.

Besides those.

The 150 mother Feathered Oxen from the 1st batch of the 2nd generation gave birth to their 2nd litter, 1500 in total.

Also, the 150 mother Feathered Oxen from the 2nd batch of the 2nd generation gave birth to their 1st litter, also 1500.

That's quite a lot — altogether 3000 little Feathered Oxen were produced.

These 3000 count as the 3rd generation.

Apart from them, the 1st litter of the 1st batch of the 2nd generation Feathered Oxen is also 1500.

So now the total number of Feathered Oxen is 5760.

【Penglai Town Feathered Oxen Master Table】

【First Generation】

「Adult Feathered Oxen」30

【Second Generation】

「Adult Feathered Oxen」600

「Juvenile Feathered Oxen」600

【Third Generation】

「Juvenile Feathered Oxen」4500

【Total】5760

The vast majority are little Feathered Oxen — they still need time to grow.

But that doesn't matter.

The main reason is that now the days are passing too quickly.

Before Tai Yi-lun's effect expires, Zhao Chi will come back to confirm again.
