Chapter 2834: Frontline (22)

Although Wei Li and Lu Yi both said they could still fight, their losses were really not small.

Of course, it wasn't losses in troop strength, but losses in condition.

Physical strength, energy, spiritual power — all are combat power.

Every one of them must be taken seriously.

The two of them could definitely still fight some smaller battles, but they couldn't handle another one of the same scale.

Or they could find some werewolves with 100,000 to 200,000 combat power, with Zhao Chi as the main attacker, purely carrying them along.

But then the cost-effectiveness wouldn't be high.

Besides, there were over 100,000 new prisoners in the territory, and Zhao Chi also needed to free up hands to guard them.

Then forget it.

First send Lu Yi and Wei Li back, and deal with these prisoners along the way.

If they want to fight, they can bring Su Qin out again in a bit.

Moreover, Zhao Chi was also very curious about the meeting's situation; now that the entire situation was deteriorating, he also felt something was off.

But more than four hours had passed since they set out, and Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting hadn't sent any new messages.

He'd ask when he got back.

"Let's withdraw first."

"Yes!" Wei Li answered without thinking.

Lu Yi said, "Alright, but Zhao Chi, you're so powerful, we don't need to take a detour — we can head straight back to Iron Bridge Village."

Su Qin also nodded, "Yes, let's go in a straight line."

Zhao Chi smiled, "Sure."

Actually, this time Su Qin was also quite shocked.

She knew Zhao Chi was very strong, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong.

Easy, breezy, a flawless victory.

Completely beyond her expectations.

Fortunately, she was already used to it.

The few of them sprinted all the way.

This time Zhao Chi was in front, Su Qin at the back, Wei Li and Lu Yi on the left and right, still forming a diamond formation.

Wei Li turned her head as she ran, staring at Zhao Chi's profile from time to time, wanting to say something but hesitating.

Su Qin, watching clearly from behind, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong, Wei Li?"

"Nothing, it's nothing."

Wei Li quickly turned her head away, then turned back to shake her head at Su Qin, and finally looked forward.

"Just say it if you have something to say." Su Qin smiled. "You have a question you want to ask Zhao Chi?"

Zhao Chi also turned his head to the side: "What's up? A question you want to ask? Or is there some loot you want?"

"Of course not!" Wei Li shook her head vigorously.

"Then what is it? Just say it!"

Wei Li bit her lip: "Zhao Chi, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about your business."

Lu Yi quickly added, "Me neither."

Zhao Chi smiled: "Alright, I got it. Is that all?"

"No…" Wei Li shook her head: "If I were to change race, what do you think would be good?"

"So that's what you wanted to ask." Zhao Chi smiled: "I think any race that can wear human female fashion is fine. If you can use an elven bow, even better — so a female elf would be best. Of course, it has to be the one that suits you most; this is just my suggestion."

"I see…"

Wei Li's expression was a little hesitant.

Zhao Chi said again: "Don't feel any psychological burden. I see many of your skills are melee-type, so switching styles definitely won't be easy. It's fine."

"No! I'm willing to change! Would the Blood Clan work?"

"Blood Clan?"

Wei Li nodded: "Right. Besides ghouls, our family actually has some people who use the Blood Clan — after all, both belong to the undead race category, and Blood Clan females can wear human female fashion. If I switch to the Blood Clan, the loss from changing race would be compressed to the minimum."

"Sure, but think it through carefully."

"I've thought it through. I'll change as soon as I get back this time! And if I convert to the Blood Clan, my skills can still be used, and my territory tech can still be used too — after all, the Blood Clan is also a race very suited to equipping claw blades."

"Claw blades?"

"Yeah."

"Butterfly blades?"

Wei Li shook her head: "No, butterfly blades can only be used by females, and only by females in human form — they're not suited for ghouls. My tech isn't that kind; it's very long claw blades, suited for ghouls."

"Does your family have blueprints for butterfly blades?"

"Butterfly blades, huh… I think so. I remember seeing them in the clan warehouse before, but I'm not sure if they're still there now… You want them? But didn't we just capture one?"

"I'm talking about the Improvement Tome and the Super Improvement Tome."

"Got it. I'm really not sure, but I'll ask right now. If we have them, I'll get them for you. If not, don't be disappointed, okay~"

"Mm, I won't be disappointed. If you have them, I won't take them for free — I'll buy them at market price, and even a bit more."

"Aiya, you don't need to!"

"It's fine."

"You don't need to spend money. You brought me along for this battle, and I gained several million experience. All the ghouls leveled up — and not just by 1 level, some actually went up 3 levels, including me, I went up 3 levels too! You really don't need to pay for the two blueprints."

"Leveled up 3 times?"

"Right, it's amazing. The clan took me to fight a few battles before, but none of them were like this…"

"Then your ghoul has already leveled up. Wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to change races?"

Wei Li smiled and said: "Not a waste. The ghoul's level is high, so I can also switch to a higher-level blood race back at the clan. The only slight regret is that loyalty needs to be cultivated again, but luckily I've been a lord for less than half a year, so if I switch now the loss will be minimal."

"Mm…"

Zhao Chi nodded.

When they had just set out, Zhao Chi had suggested she change races only because he considered that Wei Li's ghoul couldn't wear human fashion, so he felt it was a bit of a pity.

After all, those seamstresses like Feng Xiu would definitely produce a large amount of fashion later, and when the time came they could be given in bulk to the lords of the White Tiger Regiment, which would mean Wei Li basically couldn't use them at all.

But now…

Why does it feel like she's changing races because she's following my orders?

Zhao Chi felt something was a little odd.

Whatever, he'll give her a batch of low-grade fashion later to make up for her loss.

Seeing Zhao Chi say nothing, Wei Li said softly: "I've already asked the clan uncle who manages the warehouse back at our clan. Once he replies I'll let you know, but if there isn't any, don't be disappointed."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Mm, don't worry, I won't be disappointed. Don't worry about that."

"Okay."

Wei Li broke into a big smile.

Zhao Chi suddenly noticed she had already moved from a position five meters away to right beside him.

Practically riding side by side.

That was fine, actually. His perception was very strong now, so there really was no need to maintain that kind of conventional formation.

But after noticing Wei Li's approach, Zhao Chi also noticed that Lu Yi on the other side was very close as well.

From the original distance of a few meters, she had closed in to less than one meter.

And for some unknown reason, Lu Yi looked somewhat anxious.

Su Qin in the rear once again noticed it carefully.
