Chapter 2246

All the lords turned their heads.

This is human nature.

Many things can only be believed after seeing them with one's own eyes.

Moreover, Zhao Chi was just an ordinary team member, with little influence and no authority whatsoever.

But Li Ruanyu trusted him completely.

Li Ruanyu also turned her head to look.

Hazy and dim, a stretch of darkness.

Nothing at all.

Li Ruanyu also had 8 points of Intelligence, and could see very far—far better than ordinary people.

But Zhao Chi and Su Qin had 19 points of Intelligence, with a perception bonus of +750%—an astonishing level, many times stronger than even professional scouts.

Although Li Ruanyu saw nothing, she still opened the comms channel.

Immediately backing Zhao Chi up.

Li Ruanyu: 【Everyone retreat now, there really are Bone Dragons, and plenty of them!】

Li Ruanyu of course didn't know the actual situation; she simply repeated Zhao Chi's words in her own phrasing.

But the words she said carried a very different weight.

Li Ruanyu's authority now was practically higher than Guan Zhiyong's.

Although it was only a temporary boost from her outfit and weapon, having her speak still made all the difference.

Every lord in the entire main force was in an uproar.

【Holy shit! Bone Dragons!】

【Damn it, then hurry up and retreat, what are you waiting for?】

【Run, run!】

【Shit, let's summon some soldiers to hold them off—do you think our legs can outrun Bone Dragons in flight?】

【No good! Our formation energy is too low, only enough for the territory connection point's consumption. Summoning soldiers should still be left to the captain and the others.】

【Then let's run!】

【Right, anyway there are werewolves on both sides, there's only one path we can take—what's there to hesitate about?】

Guan Zhiyong and the others' expressions changed.

Li Ruanyu hadn't confirmed that Lu Yibing had been devoured, but she had confirmed the appearance of Bone Dragons.

That meant it was real.

And the people of the Breaking World Army couldn't possibly have summoned Bone Dragons.

No lord among them had ever tamed a Bone Dragon.

Even if someone had, there was no reason to release them now—wouldn't that just waste a huge amount of formation energy for nothing?

Even if they weren't summoned from the territory but through summoning arts or other methods, the cost would certainly be high.

No one would do that.

Then the Bone Dragons must belong to the werewolves.

The two vice regiment commanders and several main force captains figured this out in an instant.

Guan Zhiyong roared: "Retreat!"

One plain, unadorned word, and every lord ran back with all their might.

Some lords couldn't help themselves and had already summoned griffins and warhorses.

There were even pegasi and unicorns.

Harpies and bat-people also appeared in the sky.

Guan Zhiyong bellowed: "Dammit! What the hell are you doing? What's there to panic about? If you don't stick with the team, where the hell do you think you can run on your own? Get down here, now!"

Jiang Chen shouted loudly: "Everyone use your skills, retreat at once!"

Some lords, upon hearing this, immediately recalled the mounts they had summoned.

But some lords completely ignored the order, mounted up, and fled at top speed.

Hearing it was Bone Dragons, these lords were completely panicked.

Understandable.

And at this point, there was simply no way to keep them in line.

Let them be.

The lords of the Copper Rock main force nearby also followed alongside, charging at full speed.

At the same time.

The lords of captain rank and above once again shone all over.

Multiple beams of light flared up directly.

There was no time to cast a barrier first.

Light shot forth.

Zhao Chi felt Su Qin's body grow light again, his legs no longer felt— as if the sandbags that had hung on his legs for a long time had suddenly been removed, leaving him unusually buoyant.

A gust of swift wind appeared.

Zhao Chi hadn't sped up at all, yet was forcibly pushed forward by this gust, as if riding an air-powered car.

Su Qin's legs took only a single step, yet she had already covered more than ten meters.

The next moment, Zhao Chi felt Su Qin grow shorter.

His field of vision dropped lower and lower.

After running a few more steps, Zhao Chi noticed Su Qin was sinking into the soil.

Not just Su Qin.

All the lords and phantom figures visible around them had also rushed into the soil at top speed.

In just a moment, Su Qin and the surrounding lords were already sunk up to their necks in the ground.

This should be an Earth Release technique.

Once they're underground, can they still breathe?

Thinking this, Zhao Chi suddenly felt his vision darken, and everything around him grew blurrier.

The speed of movement also slowed down.

They had fully entered the earth.

The Earth Release technique should conflict with that wind-type spell from earlier, right?

Inside the soil, wind-type spells can't take effect.

But this concealment is indeed much stronger.

Although it wastes skills, there's no time to coordinate carefully.

Whatever's useful, use it all.

Use whatever skill is useful — this counts as saturation-style buffing.

And the speed of moving underground isn't slow either.

Zhao Chi couldn't help holding his breath along with Su Qin.

Su Qin 【It's fine, Zhao Chi, you can breathe】

Zhao Chi tried — there was a faint smell of earth and a smoky, acrid tang.

It didn't smell good.

Like the smell inside a mine tunnel.

Stuffy, and a bit damp.

Nothing else changed.

As natural as breathing in open air.
