Chapter 875: Four-Way Free-for-All (2)

"Face?"

Li Xun felt like he'd misheard.

He looked at Xiao Ning, speechless: "Xiao Ning, this has nothing to do with face! It's that you can't beat us, understand? I just don't want my own losses to be too great, so I'm willing to offer 20,000 gold coins to let you have it. But it's not because we're weak that I'm giving you gold coins — can you get that through your head?"

Xiao Ning said in disbelief: "Li Xun, no wonder people say you lot are some kind of righteous bandits — turns out you've got something wrong with your brains. With trash lords like you, you still have the confidence to fight our Holy Race? In a bit I'm going to split your head open and see if there's actually a brain inside."

Li Xun sighed: "Fine, I was originally thinking of avoiding a clash, but if you insist on fighting, I'll take you on. After all, if I devour you lot, the spoils shouldn't be small — they should make up for our losses, and maybe even turn a profit. You aliens better not disappoint me."

Xiao Ning waved his hand: "Then fight! And we are the Holy Race — charge!"

At his command, all the alien lords around surged out.

Li Xun swiftly raised his hand, and light flared all around.

A blast of white light erupted across the entire ground, and a flood of light-runes spread and extended into a formation.

Mysterious characters covered it — Zhao Chi couldn't recognize a single one.

The light-runes covered an enormous area, blanketing the whole of South Forest Village.

Including a large stretch of land outside the village.

Zhao Chi only felt a flash of intense light sweep over him, and the next moment he was back in his territory.

Gu Qing and the female soldiers were all resting in place nearby.

Seeing Zhao Chi appear, they immediately stood up.

Zhao Chi was a bit dazed.

How was he already back in his territory?

Fortunately, a family notification chimed in.

It was the voice of his uncle Zhao Qizong:

【Everyone, don't panic. We're currently in a special space — wait for the enemy to connect to us.】

【This time we're passively waiting for an enemy match, so the enemy's combat strength is likely a bit stronger.】

【So be as cautious as possible. If you win the battle, hurry over to support the others.】

【Nothing else — good luck, everyone!】

They're in a special space right now?

Zhao Chi tried to teleport.

Sure enough, the teleport failed.

【Teleport failed. Please try again later.】

Zhao Chi remembered that the formation at Stream Village could lock down a lord for 10 minutes.

He figured it should be the same here.

If no one matched within 10 minutes, Zhao Chi would be able to teleport.

At that moment, cheers of encouragement kept pouring into the family group chat.

The Stream Village group was the same — everyone was cheering each other on.

Zhao Chi couldn't help himself either and sent several messages of his own.

About 2 minutes later, Zhao Chi received a system prompt:

【Territory is being forcibly connected to】

【Village-level Lord Huang Bian, Beastfolk, Combat Power 312】

【Please prepare for battle】

Good — just as he'd expected.

A village-level lord had come knocking for Zhao Chi.

He could use a Truce Talisman right now and it would take effect — after all, the other side still needed a little time to finish connecting and hadn't actually linked up yet.

But of course Zhao Chi wouldn't use a Truce Talisman.

Right now he was only hoping the one connecting was a bandit lord under Li Xun, not a lord from South Forest Village.

After all, if he had a choice, he'd obviously rather fight bandits than people from a neighboring village.

But no matter who it was, Zhao Chi would end the fight quickly.

Soon, the fog wall on the southwest side shifted rapidly.

The white fog wall vanished, revealing a vast stretch of territory.

Zhao Chi raised his hand, and light rose up.
