Chapter 381: The Clan Head's Crisis

In the dark of night.

Gu Qing was running along, full of joy.

Zhao Chi lounged comfortably inside her, browsing the purchased items—everything was wonderful.

But at that moment, the system suddenly delivered an urgent family contact notification.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Beep! Beep! Beep!

There was no voice sender—it was a public voice message.

Zhao Chi hurriedly tapped to accept the call.

An aged voice came through.

It was the clan head Zhao Shizhang's voice:

【I am Zhao Shizhang. I am now requesting support and assistance from the entire clan】

【While fighting a Tier-9 magical beast, several beasts unexpectedly advanced in tier on the spot. My territory has now accumulated over ten Hell Three-Headed Hounds】

【I cannot hold out alone. I request all clan members to provide support. I have already divided the battlefield—anyone of any strength can enter】

【Please send support as soon as possible. My death would be no great loss, but it would be a terrible shame if so many of the residents in my territory could not be inherited by everyone】

Zhao Chi was stunned for a moment.

He immediately listened to it again.

At last he understood what had happened.

A magical beast advancing in tier on the spot was the equivalent of breaking through mid-combat.

It was indeed a low-probability event, but it did happen.

Clan head Zhao Shizhang's territory held quite a lot of supplies and residents, including high-grade supplies, as well as high-tier heroes and soldiers.

If he died, the others and the supplies truly could not escape unscathed.

But the most important thing was—what about tomorrow's quota?

What about his regular quota?

The clan head's quota—the mission is very heavy. If it were suddenly piled onto the shoulders of the others, it would be an extremely crushing burden.

If left unattended, random passages would open, and that would be far too dangerous.

Moreover, if the clan head were to fall in battle, the blow to the Zhao clan would simply be too great.

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, a little faster—we need to hurry back to the territory】

Zhao Chi immediately told Gu Qing what had happened.

Gu Qing had originally been running along while taking in the scenery.

Hearing Zhao Chi say this, she immediately sped up.

The clan group chat had already exploded.

But basically it was only the younger generation talking; a few of the uncles remained silent.

They had probably all gone to provide support.

Zhao Liang 【What should we do? A Tier-9 king-class magical beast—we'd be instantly killed the moment we entered, wouldn't we?】

Zhao Huang 【Don't worry, Seventh Brother. Grandfather Clan Head said the battlefield is divided, so there definitely won't be a problem】

Zhao Huai 【Second Brother, my troops are very weak. They won't be much use if I go in, will they?】

Zhao Huang 【Bring medics in to treat the wounded. You few, all bring medics. I'm going in too】

Zhao Feng 【Don't worry, I'm in the clan head's territory—the rear is safe. You can just bring medics or support troops in】

Zhao Xi 【Come quickly, there are a lot of wounded】

Zhao Jiao 【Got it, Sixth Brother, I'm coming in】

Gu Qing was running very fast.

They were almost at the village. Once back, he would enter immediately.

In both sentiment and reason, he had to enter.

He could never stand aside from something like this alone.

There were still a few minutes left—perfect time to quickly learn the two skill books now.

First was 【Cleansing Body Technique】.

(Cleansing Body Technique: a beginner-grade restoration-type spiritual technique, costs 10 points of spiritual power, removes abnormal statuses such as poison, paralysis, sleep, charm, burning, etc.)

He had seen this skill before when Tang Ruan advanced in tier to hero.

It was a beginner-grade restoration-type skill.

But its effects were remarkably comprehensive.

Whether it was mental-type abnormal statuses or physical-type abnormal statuses, it could remove them all.

However, it was limited to beginner-grade abnormal statuses only.

That was only natural.

Even so, it was more than useful enough.

Zhao Chi did not learn it himself; he handed it to Gu Qing.

After all, spiritual power was limited, and properly allocating skills was also a required course for a lord.

Zhao Chi 【Gu Qing, this skill book is for you. Click to learn it right now】

Gu Qing 【Alright, thank you, my lord】
