Chapter 2396: Retreat (2)

~4 min read 662 words

Li Ruanyu's words drew agreement from some of the captain-level lords.

They thought the same way.

Shangguan Ting 【I can do it. My speed can cut our evacuation time by more than half. Concentrate all the connection points on me.】

Jiang Chen 【I'm also considering this. What does everyone think?】

Guan Zhiyong 【It's feasible, but the risk is also great. Everyone remembers how Lu Yibing died, right? The main problem now is we don't know when or where danger will appear. We simply don't have the time or energy to sweep for werewolf ambushes. If we run into a sudden situation, we could lose a lot of lords in an instant.】

The moment Lu Yibing was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

Lu Yibing had gone out to scout at the time.

As a result, when she returned riding a paper bird, a bone dragon that suddenly appeared in the sky swallowed her whole.

Then she was gone.

Lu Yibing wasn't a combat-type lord; she couldn't possibly withstand the crushing bite of the bone dragon's massive teeth and jaws. She must have died on the spot.

If she had been carrying a large number of territory connection points on her at the time, the moment she died, all those connection points would have vanished.

The territories connected to her would have completely detached from the Greater World and drifted into the Sea of Worlds.

Unless driven to absolute desperation, no one wants that.

The captains discussed for a while longer.

Both methods of advance had their pros and cons.

In the end, they decided to keep things unchanged.

After all, besides werewolves, there would also be some bandits lying in ambush here.

If they encountered an entire caravan, those bandits basically wouldn't dare show themselves.

If they encountered only a small number of people, those bandits would very likely launch an attack.

Although they were currently in a stealth state, it wasn't unbreakable.

Some talents, some skills, could all see targets in a stealth state.

Therefore, when the caravan advanced here, the entire team moved together, rather than concentrating supplies and personnel on a few people.

All things considered, this was still the better way.

Being tired now was just being tired.

Safety was indeed a bit higher.

Zhao Chi didn't know what the captains' group was discussing.

So he didn't see anything wrong with hanging the territory connection points on Su Qin.

After all, Su Qin was very strong now.

Zhao Chi was still quite at ease with her.

Moreover, Taoyuan Town and Qingzhu Town were already connected together now, so it mattered even less.

So he was considering whether to place the territory connection points on Su Qin and then just return to the territory...

Or crawl inside Su Qin's body.

After all, it still wasn't safe right now.

If he crawled inside Su Qin's body, Su Qin would gain Zhao Chi's intelligence inheritance effect, gaining a large amount of intelligence, which could enhance her perception.

She could see farther, and would also have a strong intuition for danger.

There were quite a few benefits.

Then... crawl in?

After noticing Zhao Chi's gaze, Su Qin gave him a slight smile.

Then she sent a text message.

Su Qin 【Why are you staring at me? Want to come in? Go ahead, no one else can tell anyway.】

Zhao Chi 【Alright, then remember to grab my clothes.】

Su Qin 【I know, don't worry.】

Su Qin had the dynamic vision gene.

She could easily catch flies, mosquitoes, and even dragonflies with chopsticks.

Catching Zhao Chi's shed clothes with her hands was of course effortless.

In an instant, Zhao Chi's translucent body swayed and vanished.

The surrounding lords couldn't tell at all.

It was as if, among hundreds of constantly overlapping and shifting panes of translucent glass, one suddenly disappeared, and no one noticed.

And no one could possibly deduce from this that Zhao Chi knew the body piloting technique, and could pilot a human being.
