Chapter 922: Four-Way Melee (13)

Over a dozen messages in a row, all sent by Su Qin.

Zhao Chi only glanced through them briefly, confirmed she wasn't asking for help, and then closed the chat.

But Su Qin sent another message.

【Zhao Chi, what on earth is going on? I heard from Second Brother and Fourth Brother that you haven't replied to them either. Are you really in danger?】

Zhao Chi replied, 【I just got back to them. I did run into some trouble during the fight, but it's already been resolved. Everything's fine on my end, so don't worry.】

Su Qin replied instantly, 【Oh, you finally messaged me back, you scared me half to death. As long as you're safe, I'm relieved. I just reinforced our clan's vassal lord and won again.】

Zhao Chi didn't have time to reply to her.

After all, currently the heaviest thing on his mind wasn't Su Qin—it was the alien lords.

Xiao Ning and Yan Ping were both dead, and they had been out of contact for two hours. The alien lords should have made some move by now.

But there was nothing about it in the group.

Only a few requests for help.

Could it be that the alien lords were all busy fighting, so they hadn't had time to deal with Xiao Ning?

Or hadn't even noticed yet?

After all, those alien lords were bound to be very powerful, and their opponents were all powerful too.

When two powerful lords fought each other, the battle wouldn't be a short one.

Based on the information he had now, Zhao Chi could only speculate along these lines.

But if it really was the case, that would be great.

Still, he went ahead and asked Su Qin.

Zhao Chi: 【Su Qin, how's the fighting going on our side? I haven't been looking at the group messages at all, and I'm too lazy to scroll through them. Give me the rundown, will you?】

Su Qin's voice was excited: 【Sure, give me a sec. I need to take another look too, so I don't tell you wrong.】

He'd assumed Su Qin already knew, but it turned out she had to check as well.

In that case, he might as well look himself.

But the words were already out, so he'd just wait for her.

Zhao Chi could use the time to go collect Huang Bian's territory.

Not long after, Su Qin quickly sent a voice message.

【I double-checked. Overall, we've got the upper hand.】

【And there are only a few key fights left, and we're basically winning those too.】

【I don't like those aliens either, but they're seriously strong. The Heavenly King Army has the numbers, but they're no match for them at all.】

【And the fighting between our two villages hasn't been intense. Our Stream Village and their South Forest Village have always had friction, but it hasn't reached the point of fighting to the death.】

【Besides, everyone knows this is a struggle between the aliens and the Heavenly King Army. There's no need for us to really stake everything and go all out.】

【When the lords from our two villages meet, most of the time they just face off and go through the motions.】

【They only fight seriously when they run into those bandits from the Heavenly King Army.】

【So our two villages haven't lost that much strength.】

That wasn't what Zhao Chi wanted to hear.

He wanted to hear about the aliens—wanted to know if they'd had any reaction to Xiao Ning going out of contact.

But Su Qin hadn't mentioned it, so there probably wasn't any.

Zhao Chi felt a little more at ease.

What Su Qin was saying now also matched Zhao Chi's general speculation.

Although on the surface it looked like Stream Village and South Forest Village were fighting each other, in reality it was the aliens versus the Heavenly King Army.

As soon as one side was defeated, the fighting would be over.
