Chapter 2400: Retreat (3)

What Shangguan Ting sent was text.

But her tone and inflection seemed to come through along with it.

Zhao Chi felt as though he could see that fierce Shangguan Ting again.

That's right, this is the real her.

She always said Li Ruanyu was violent on the inside, and the gentleness on the surface was an act.

But the thing is, even if Li Ruanyu was putting it on, if she can act gentle all day long, then she really is gentle.

An occasional outburst can only mean she's angry.

As for Shangguan Ting…

It's obvious that the gentleness from earlier was an act.

This is the real Shangguan Ting now.

Qiyue【……】

Qiyue silently listened to Zhao Chi's inner assessment of Shangguan Ting and Li Ruanyu, without saying a word.

Zhao Chi【Qiyue, you're truly the gentlest of all, you've never lost your temper】

Qiyue【Really? Hehe】

Zhao Chi clicked open the system.

And replied to Shangguan Ting.

Zhao Chi【The words you sent don't sound like gratitude at all, they make me feel like you're coming to hit me】

Shangguan Ting【How could I bear to hit you? From now on, I'll cover for you!】

Zhao Chi【Fine, fine… enough said, Captain Shangguan, you just focus on leading everyone along】

Shangguan Ting【Why are you still calling me Captain Shangguan? Call me by my nickname】

Zhao Chi【……】

Shangguan Ting【What? You don't want to? No problem, I have plenty of ways to make you willing to call me that in the future, hmph hmph, just wait】

As stubborn and difficult as ever.

But at least this time, she would definitely give Zhao Chi some benefits.

Zhao Chi didn't actually find it annoying.

He even felt a little anticipation?

The only thing that worried Zhao Chi was that she better not send some random nonsense.

Shangguan Ting was 29 years old after all, her thinking should be a bit more mature, so she probably wouldn't pull a stunt like giving herself to Zhao Chi, right?

Whatever, back to crafting!

He activated the Swift-Craft Talisman again.

And got into work mode.

However, just after using one Swift-Craft Talisman and the accumulated finished costumes had just reached 7,000, Zhao Chi received a mandatory notification.

【Jiang Chen】:

【All lords, here is the latest update】

【We are about to reach the designated location, please prepare for spatial traversal】

【The spatial teleportation point will open in approximately 5 minutes, everyone must stay alert, this is the final moment, absolutely do not let your guard down】

【Spread out your positions a bit, don't stand too close, to avoid ambushes hitting multiple people】

【All scouting units, keep your eyes sharp, there must be no slip-ups now】

【Hold on a little longer, we're almost there!】

Right after, Jiang Chen briefly relayed what he had just said in the captain group to all the lords.

Only then did the lords understand why they had run so far.

Never mind where they were going, as long as they could get out, that was fine.

The lords all breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we're almost there, damn it…

Finally, they could rest a bit.

Right now, everyone was utterly exhausted.

But no one dared to relax at a time like this; dying at this final moment would really be too unjust.

The lords all focused their attention, sped up one last time, and paid extra attention to their surroundings.

There was nothing happening around them.

It was still the dim, low-hanging dark clouds, the blackish-brown earth, and the exceedingly gloomy environment.

Very quickly, suddenly there was a huge roar from ahead.

Boom!!!

All the lords got a fright.

Immediately after, a massive rift appeared ahead, splitting heaven and earth.

A huge crack had appeared in space.

All the lords were excited.

Almost there.

Really almost there.

【Jiang Chen】:

【Everyone stay alert! Full sprint! Charge through!】

Suddenly, the entire squad's speed picked up dramatically.

This was truly the speed of fleeing for one's life.

All the lords charged toward the massive rift ahead.

Zhao Chi did not go out.

Because he could not go out right now.

The moment he had just teleported back to his territory, the invisibility art had failed.

If he went out now, it wasn't fear of being seen by allies, but fear of being seen by the werewolves. If a werewolf were lying in ambush outside, Zhao Chi suddenly stepping out would be equivalent to exposing the invisibility art of the entire squad to risk.

So he simply let Su Qin carry him into the Greater World.

Su Qin was also sprinting at full speed.

Soon, all the lords charged into the rift.

The dark environment shifted.

Once again, they arrived in another dim space.

But the lords all relaxed, because it was now five in the morning, and both the Greater World and the Territory World were dark.

However, a large number of torches were burning all around.

Directly ahead, quite a few humans and soldiers holding torches were visible.

Su Qin looked around.

She discovered that this place was a massive plaza.

Through the orange firelight, one could see many large warehouses and wagons around, with plenty of supplies piled up in the distance.

This place seemed to be a large freight station.

After all, a territory with a rift teleportation point was basically the spot where merchant caravans set out and returned; the Iron Blood Army's place was the same.

However.

After Su Qin opened the notification sent by the system, she was somewhat surprised.
