Chapter 3018

Yao Feng stared in surprise at the enormous tree species in the trade interface.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Yes, it can't be put to much use on my side. Captain, you take it—I'm sure you'll bring out more of its power."

Yao Feng was a little pleased, but she cancelled the trade process.

"It's fine, Zhao Chi. I have some reserves of Beast Tokens on my side too. This Eternal Tree is very suited to defense. Didn't you take so many female elves? Convert some into female archers and have them coordinate with the Eternal Tree—the defensive capability will be extremely powerful. You should keep it."

Zhao Chi was a little surprised.

Did Yao Feng look down on the Eternal Tree token?

Or was she just being polite?

Zhao Chi asked again: "Captain, how much of a role does this kind of token play in lord wars at your level?"

Yao Feng thought briefly and said: "Big and small at the same time. Because everyone has giant beasts, this kind of token is more like reinforcements that come in temporarily. If we could have one more, then of course the more the better. But the final victory or defeat generally won't be decided by just one token."

"So it does have some use?"

"Of course it does."

"Then take it!"

Yao Feng laughed: "Are you sure? The Eternal Tree is on the stronger tier among giant beasts. On my side it's just icing on the cake, but for you... it should be a lifeline-level strong reinforcement, right? I still think you should keep it."

Zhao Chi said: "No need. Icing on the cake also adds a bit of safety. Since it's useful to you, just accept it."

Yao Feng said happily: "Alright, with your help I'll be safer next time too. Thank you."

Zhao Chi said in a low voice: "There are also two skills I want to... share with you. Both can be used at range."

"Ranged skills? What kind?"

"Captain, you know 'Pack Summon,' right?"

Yao Feng nodded with a slightly odd look: "I do. One of the genetic abilities that noble werewolves can master. A very annoying ability—it can summon reinforcements, be used for raids, or even for escape. The good thing is it's very rare. Even though it's a noble ability, only a few noble werewolves can comprehend it. Most werewolves only know 'Werewolf Summon,' which is much weaker."

Zhao Chi said: "I have a subordinate hero who knows this skill."

Yao Feng was a little stunned.

She seemed to think for one second, then laughed softly:

"Huh? Really? You've mastered this skill? That's great!

"If an enemy has it, it's very annoying. If you have a hero who knows this move, it's very convenient.

"When you're fighting, you can have your subordinate wait at your new territory. If the battle goes badly, you can have your subordinate summon you directly over—you can save your life!

"But you should note that this ability has a limited range.

"I don't know the exact range, but it can definitely cover the distance of one county. Any farther and it might be very difficult. Be sure to pay attention when you use it.

"But that distance is enough.

"Your subordinate just mastered this ability. Did you want to ask me about usage tips or something?"

Yao Feng didn't ask about the source of this ability.

She probably felt there was no need to ask.

If only one subordinate hero had mastered this skill, it really could just be luck.

She didn't know that all the women in Zhao Chi's territory had the gene to use this ability.

After all, this gene's compatibility with ordinary humans is 0%.

She couldn't possibly have imagined it.

Zhao Chi said: "Neither. I want my subordinate to link with you."

Yao Feng laughed:

"Oh, I see. No problem!

"But actually there's no need. You're right beside me. If you run into danger, I'll go help you directly—no need to use this skill to summon me.

"This skill is very useful in battle. You can send that subordinate hero to quickly infiltrate the enemy's rear, then summon allies to cut straight into their back lines.

"It often produces miraculous results.

"Now I can support you at any time. Having you link with me is somewhat redundant and wasteful.

"After you separate from me later, you can link with me again. Then if you're in danger I can come support you immediately.

"There's no need right now.

"You can keep it for use as a raid skill."

Zhao Chi scratched his head.

Yao Feng said oddly: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Chi said: "It's not to have you support me. I mean for you to use it to escape. If you run into a strong enemy you can't beat, just notify me, and I can pull you into my territory. Wouldn't you be safe then?"

In an instant, her eyes lit up.

Yao Feng's eyes went wide.

She stared at Zhao Chi in disbelief.

"You... mean to protect me?"

Zhao Chi shook his head: "I wouldn't call it protection. I don't have that ability right now. I'm just offering a small bit of help."

Yao Feng's eyes shone.

Then she shook her head gently and said:

"I'm very happy...

"I really didn't expect your meaning was to protect me just now...

"Actually you're right. This skill really can let me evacuate instantly, and I can bring subordinates along to evacuate too.

"If you're sure, of course I'm willing to have one more safety net. It helps me and gives me more confidence."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Then I'll call her over now and link her with you, alright?"

"That's fine, thank you."

Zhao Chi immediately sent Gu Qing a text message: 【Gu Qing, come to these coordinates now】

After thinking for one second, he added another text: 【This is Commander Yao's territory. Remember to put on clothes. In a bit, use the "Tribe Summon" ability to link up with Commander Yao. Just drop the link with someone else.】

Gu Qing replied instantly: 【Wow! My lord, you've made progress? You're going to win over Sister Yao Feng?】

Zhao Chi glanced at Yao Feng and replied by text: 【No. Once you arrive, don't talk nonsense.】

Gu Qing replied: 【Hehe, I know~. Those words I only say to you alone. I'm on my way.】

A moment later.

A flash of light and shadow appeared beside Zhao Chi.

Gu Qing, whose beauty could topple nations, appeared next to him.

She wore a full set of fashion attire, neat and alluring.

Sunlight fell on her skin, casting a soft white glow that even brightened Zhao Chi a little.

Her black, glossy, clean hair fell in distinct strands, reflecting a sheen, neatly coiled at the back of her head.

Her lips were faintly red, but set against her fair skin, they looked exceedingly rosy.

The current Gu Qing, having been reborn, was extraordinarily beautiful and stunning, with excellent complexion and astonishing presence.

Yao Feng was dumbfounded.

The smile she had kept on her face vanished in an instant from sheer astonishment.

Her composed expression completely slipped.

She exclaimed in surprise: "Zhao Chi, this is your subordinate?!"

Gu Qing said with a light laugh: "Yes, Sister Yao Feng. I am Gu Qing, Zhao Chi's subordinate. It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

As she spoke, Gu Qing performed a greeting.

Her posture was very low.

At least on the surface, she showed great respect toward Yao Feng.

Yao Feng returned the greeting, but was still extremely shocked: "Gu Qing…"

"Mm, that is my name, Sister Yao Feng."

Most people generally called her Commander Yao Feng; only Li Ruanyu and Shangguan Ting privately called her Sister.

Gu Qing now called her that as well, and Yao Feng did not refuse.

Instead, she extended her hand and said: "Hello, Gu Qing. I'm also very honored to meet you."

Gu Qing took Yao Feng's right hand in both of her own, showing the importance she placed on it.

Yao Feng's cheek twitched.

Her heart was greatly shaken!
