Chapter 781: Three *Dangkou* Camps

Xiang Xiang Hongying carried Ayu and rushed into the camp. Before they could find the camp, they saw a large group of soldiers rushing toward them.

Just looking at the formation, they couldn't see the end.

Listening to the footsteps, Hua Jiuer felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Ayu said that ten people could form a *Thousand-Man Power Array*. How many people were there in front of them?

About ten thousand?

Hua Jiuer was a bit scared, but Xiang Xiang Hongying was very calm. She noticed a detail: the soldiers' armor wasn't uniform.

"Fighting in a hurry, they shouldn't be able to form a formation!" Xiang Xiang Hongying stepped forward and rushed directly into the enemy formation, shouting to Ayu, "Bomb them!"

Ayu, with an excited smile, rubbed a bag of explosives and threw it out.

This throw was very far. The explosives exploded behind the enemy army, the earth shook, and a large patch of blood mist instantly rose.

Over a thousand soldiers were killed on the spot, and the number of injured was countless. The splashing flesh and blood scattered like rain. The soldiers in the front row were in a mess; some retreated, some stopped, and some gritted their teeth and rushed forward.

Watching them squeeze and trample each other, Xiang Xiang Hongying had a count in her heart.

"They're all rookies, they haven't fought in a war!" Xiang Xiang Hongying changed direction suddenly, not rushing into the military formation, but dodging the killing range of the explosives.

Ayu was very tacit, throwing explosives at different positions of the military formation. The sound of roaring rose one after another, and the military formation of over ten thousand people turned into a sea of blood in the blink of an eye.

The first team of enemy soldiers was almost wiped out. Xiang Xiang Hongying rushed into the camp again, and a two-meter-high, eight-meter-wide iron cart rushed over.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was startled: "This is a *Wuchong Fuxu*?"

Ordinary people didn't recognize this thing, but *Wuchong Fuxu* was a type of ancient war chariot, equipped with spears, repeating crossbows,

hinged knives, fire oil, and various other weapons. In the era when Xiang Xiang Hongying was in the army, this kind of war chariot had long since disappeared. She had also seen descriptions of *Wuchong Fuxu* in ancient military books.

Ayu didn't know what *Wuchong Fuxu* was, but she could infer that this was a first-class weapon.

"Xue Yingying, be careful—"

There was no need for Ayu to remind her. Xiang Xiang Hongying immediately bypassed this war chariot and used *Unimpeded Passage* to pass through the wall of the drill ground, arriving at the workshop area.

Passing by the workshops, Hua Jiuer counted them. There were five workshops here in total.

Her mother had once said that according to the habits of the Shang Country, every ten thousand people were equipped with one workshop. How many people were there in this camp?

While pondering, another team of soldiers came from the front, with about ten thousand people as well.

These soldiers were relatively calm. They stood still, nocked arrows on their strings, and waited for Xiang Xiang Hongying to approach.

Ayu immediately threw explosives at this team of soldiers. After a roar, the bombs exploded, and the surrounding workshops turned into rubble.

Some soldiers were injured, and some soldiers had two of their three heads blown off.

But these soldiers were all standing. A soldier was blown open, his internal organs flowing all over the ground, but he was still standing.

Hua Jiuer scanned roughly. Ayu threw two bags of explosives, and the number of soldiers killed probably didn't exceed one hundred.

These people who were blown to death didn't have their bodies shattered; they all seemed to be still standing.

How could the physique of these people become so tough?

Just because they maintained their formation?

"Shoot arrows!" A sergeant gave the order, and the feathered arrows arrived like rain.

Xiang Xiang Hongying and Hua Jiuer used the *Steps* and *Carefree* techniques to dodge together. After a round of feathered arrows, Hua Jiuer was hit by two arrows, and Ayu's body was full of wounds from the arrows.

A feathered arrow shot through Xiang Xiang Hongying's shoulder, and another shot onto the top of Xiang Xiang Hongying's head, which was blocked by the tip of her spear.

Xiang Xiang Hongying had been through many battles, and being injured on the battlefield wasn't anything new, but the speed and force of these feathered arrows still surprised her.

This was the *Thousand-Man Power Array*?

Ayu threw explosives again. The enemy army had some casualties, but whether they were injured soldiers or corpses, they were all standing in the military formation, and not one fell down.

Hua Jiuer was proficient in formations. She realized that this wasn't just a matter of physical toughness. As long as these people kept standing,

the formation wouldn't be scattered.

As long as the formation was maintained, the combat power of the *Dangkou* Army wouldn't be reduced in the slightest.

If even Ayu's explosives couldn't knock them down, what other methods were there?

Hua Jiuer couldn't think of a way!

"Xue Yingying, let's bypass them."

Xiang Xiang Hongying gritted her teeth: "What are you saying? What did we come here for? Where are we bypassing to?"

They came here to eradicate the *Dangkou* Army. The *Dangkou* Army was right in front of them, so what was the point of bypassing them?

Ayu wasn't afraid, holding the explosives and laughing wildly: "Sister, let's not bypass them, bomb them to death!"

*Qi Niu~*

Hua Jiuer turned her head. The *Wuchong Fuxu* had chased after them.

*Ge Zhi~*

On the roads on both sides, several war chariots of different shapes approached at the same time. Hua Jiuer couldn't name these war chariots, but Xiang Xiang Hongying recognized them all.

One war chariot had a retractable mantis blade array, the blades could extend and retract, and the shape was constantly changing. This was the *Mantis Blade Fuxu*, which contained many *Blade Cultivation* techniques.

One war chariot was covered in heavy armor, and the heavy armor hid feathered arrows all over the chariot. This was the *Repeating Crossbow Great Fuxu*, which hid *Arrow Cultivation* techniques.

There were also several war chariots, smaller in size and relatively simple in equipment, carrying three long spears and one halberd. This was the *Spear Halberd Light Chariot*, which hid *Martial Cultivation* characteristics. This kind of chariot won by being agile and could block the flaws of large war chariots.

Xiang Xiang Hongying could sense strong danger. These war chariots were all first-class weapons. Once they formed an encirclement, there was almost no way to break out.

The sergeant ordered: "Shoot arrows!"

The soldiers shot arrows again. Xiang Xiang Hongying used *Breaking the Path and Opening the Road* against the arrow rain.

She knew she had to disrupt the enemy's formation. *Breaking the Path and Opening the Road* was the best method she could think of at the moment.

Several soldiers in the front row had twisted faces and lost their lives in the blink of an eye.

They were dead. With Xiang Xiang Hongying's technique, *Breaking the Path and Opening the Road* was enough to tear their bodies apart, but their bodies were still complete. Even if their chests were split open, their feet were still standing firmly on the ground.

*Breaking the Path and Opening the Road* failed to destroy their formation.

The *Thousand-Man Power Array* could actually use such a simple way to directly block Xiang Xiang Hongying's technique.

The soldiers in the back row couldn't stand still anymore. If they moved a little, they would look at their feet and immediately return to their original positions.

There was something under their feet!

Hua Jiuer had sharp eyes and saw it clearly. The things under their feet weren't weapons or mechanisms, but marks.

Xiang Xiang Hongying was right; these people were really rookies!

They had to rely on marks to form a formation, otherwise they wouldn't know the position of the formation.

This was why the *Dangkou* Army had to concentrate on training. The *Thousand-Man Power Array* had extremely strict requirements for the soldiers' standing positions.

While pondering, Hua Jiuer picked up feathered arrows all over the ground. During this period, she was hit by six arrows. Although it was a puppet body, she was seriously injured.

She stumbled and picked up quite a few feathered arrows. Xiang Xiang Hongying didn't know what Hua Jiuer was doing, and at this moment, she couldn't spare the effort to help her.

After shooting the arrows, the sergeant ordered: "Move your thoughts!"

The soldiers prepared to use *Thought Techniques*. If so many people used *Thought Techniques* together, they could blow up the brains of the three of them!

Hua Jiuer threw the picked-up arrows into the enemy formation. The arrows were stuck in the ground and couldn't hurt the enemy at all.

Xiang Xiang Hongying didn't know what Hua Jiuer was doing either.

The enemy army didn't know Hua Jiuer's intention either. They looked at their feet and saw the marks, the marks that should have been under their feet.

Why did the marks appear?

This meant their standing positions were wrong.

The soldiers adjusted their standing positions one after another. Their left feet stepped on the marks, and marks appeared on the right feet. The marks that should have been stepped on firmly couldn't be stepped on firmly no matter what.

Taking advantage of everyone adjusting their formation, Hua Jiuer shouted: "Bomb them to hell!"

Ayu threw out the explosives. The first bag of explosives exploded in the front row of the enemy formation, and hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground.

The second bag of explosives exploded in the back row of the enemy army.

Rookies also had grades. The soldiers in the back row had a clear gap with the soldiers in the front row. A large patch of people fell to the ground on the spot, and the formation was blown apart.

The third bag of explosives exploded in the center of the military formation. The broken limbs and bones connected with the waves of blood rushed toward them. Ayu wiped the blood on her face and laughed loudly. A team of *Dangkou* Army turned into a ground of wet and sticky flesh.

"Ayu, what method did you just use?" Ayu helped Hua Jiuer up from the ground.

Hua Jiuer gasped and said: "Father, back then, must have fought like this."

"Father—" Ayu seemed to realize something, "I don't seem to have been throwing explosives all the time."

Xiang Xiang Hongying picked up Ayu and Hua Jiuer and ran away.

The remaining first-class weapons absolutely couldn't be entangled with.

There were still many soldiers who hadn't completed their assembly, and they absolutely couldn't let them go.

Ayu held the explosives and laughed even more brilliantly!

Rookies had grades. How many soldiers who hadn't completed their assembly were there? Kill as many as there were.

Those soldiers heard Ayu's laughter and wanted to follow suit.

They carried smiles and struggled to think about one thing: they had to form a formation, and they must not stand in the wrong position.

*Boom! *

They heard the explosion and watched groups of flesh and blood dancing before their eyes.

Lan Qiao Yi was still waiting for the results of *Hao City* when the Minister of War, Que Que Yuhan, reported: "*Dingye City* has been attacked, and the *Qingrui* Battalion has suffered heavy losses."

"How heavy are the losses?" Lan Qiao Yi trembled. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

"Still investigating." The Ministry of War didn't dare to give a number, but Lan Qiao Yi already had a rough guess.

These people were royalty.

If over ten thousand royalty died, what would be the consequence?

"Send people to *Dingye City* immediately. The *Difeng* Battalion and *Cuihuo* Battalion must be on full alert."

Que Que Yuhan was about to pass the order when Lan Qiao Yi couldn't rest easy: "I'll go to the Ministry of War with you!"

Lan Qiao Yi followed Que Que Yuhan to the street, and a cold air made him shiver.

Que Que Yuhan said with concern: "My lord, it's cold tonight, put on another cold-resistant garment."

Lan Qiao Yi looked around. This cold air was special; it wasn't just cold weather.

A man knelt on the side of the road, lowered his head and said: "My lord, *Fenwu* General, reporting to you."

*Fenwu* General?

Lan Qiao Yi remained calm. His mind was full of the *Dangkou* Battalion, and for a moment, he couldn't remember this person.

Que Que Yuhan remembered this person. When Lan Qiao Yi was conferred the title in *Hao City*, Que Que Yuhan had participated.

"General Liu, you are stationed in *Puluo Continent*, why did you return to *Chaoge*?" While speaking, Que Que Yuhan looked at Lan Qiao Yi cautiously. He thought Liu General was executing a special mission under Lan Qiao Yi's order. Did he ask something he shouldn't have?

*Fenwu* General Liu Liu Bufei.

Lan Qiao Yi remembered this person.

At the beginning, he appointed thirteen *Earthly Gods* to *Puluo Continent*, and the leader was Liu Liu Bufei.

Liu Liu Bufei had returned to report.

In Que Que Yuhan's view, returning to *Chaoge* without authorization was a violation of military orders.

In Lan Qiao Yi's view, violating military orders wasn't the point.

The point was, according to Lan Qiao Yi's deduction, Liu Liu Bufei had already been killed by He He Jiaqing.

Could it be that the deduction was wrong?

Lan Qiao Yi asked: "General Liu, you returned to *Chaoge*, what is the matter?"

Liu Liu Bufei looked blank and shook his head repeatedly: "Lan Qiao, my lord, I don't remember who is *Fenwu* General. I do have something to report, but I forgot what it was."

He said he didn't remember who was *Fenwu* General.

Forgetting what he had to report was already unreasonable. How could he forget his own surname?

Que Que Yuhan frowned: "General Liu, military affairs are not child's play. Think carefully before you speak."

Liu Liu Bufei remained blank.

Lan Qiao Yi asked: "First tell me where you came from?"

Liu Liu Bufei thought for a long time and replied: "I came from the Great Melting Pot."

Que Que Yuhan was shocked: "Why did you mention the melting pot? General, if you have important business, go to the Ministry of War to discuss it in detail. Do not talk nonsense here."

Liu Liu Bufei shook his head: "I'm not talking nonsense. I just came out of the melting pot. I stayed in the melting pot for a long time—"

Lan Qiao Yi used the *Peerer*'s technique. He discovered that Liu Liu Bufei wasn't lying, and his deduction wasn't wrong.

The Liu Liu Bufei in front of him wasn't a living person, but a wandering soul. Because he had been tempered in the Great Melting Pot, he looked more real than ordinary wandering souls.

Que Que Yuhan was horrified: "*Fenwu* General, are you saying that you were murdered?"

Liu Liu Bufei looked at Que Que Yuhan blankly: "No one harmed me. I just remembered I had something to report, so I returned to *Chaoge*. But after arriving in *Chaoge*, I didn't know what to report. I stayed on the street for a while and then entered the melting pot..."

His memory was almost gone. His soul was clearly seriously injured before he died. Like this incomplete wandering soul,

if he were tempered in the Great Melting Pot for a few more days, I'm afraid all his consciousness would be lost.

Que Que Yuhan looked at Lan Qiao Yi. Lan Qiao Yi's expression was solemn.

After pondering for a moment, he gave an order to Que Que Yuhan: "The matter of reinforcing *Dingye City* will be handled by the Minister of War.

You immediately gather troops and follow me to the ninth layer of the city."

Ninth layer of the city, beside the Great Melting Pot, He He Jiaqing carefully looked at a lotus leaf on the melting pot.

Under He He Jiaqing's control, this lotus leaf couldn't close normally, and many wandering souls took the opportunity to escape from the melting pot.

There were countless mechanisms on the Great Melting Pot. Neither the old train, *Lianbuda*, nor He He Jiaqing had the ability to move their hands and feet on the melting pot.

Even if the three of them cooperated, they faced heavy dangers when they really touched the lotus leaf.

The leaf He He Jiaqing chose was fine. This leaf wasn't big, but the position was the best, leaving space for them to act.

The old train's technique was fine. Whether it was the saw or the knife, they were all placed in the most precise positions, and the force and speed were all grasped just right.

When they encountered mechanisms they couldn't avoid, *Lianbuda* sprinkled oil to help the two slide past.

But the leaf had been cut off, and this was the last step, but He He Jiaqing's hand didn't dare to move. He sensed that an invisible force was still controlling this leaf.

The old train was also reminding He He Jiaqing: "Be very careful. Once you make a mistake, all three of us will enter the lotus heart."

3

"We have to wait for the right time to pull the leaf out." He He Jiaqing was sweating profusely. He could explore some patterns, but he wasn't sure when the right time would come.

Time passed second by second. The wind direction of the lotus heart was about to turn in front of them.

The old train sensed danger. The danger didn't just come from the lotus heart. It was estimated that someone had already noticed the abnormality of the Great Melting Pot. If that person led an army to come, it wouldn't be easy to resist. There were countless first-class weapons in *Chaoge*.

He He Jiaqing knew he couldn't wait any longer. He looked at the old train and *Lianbuda*: "Two seniors, I'm making a move."

*Lianbuda* asked: "How much certainty do you have?"

"Thirty percent." He He Jiaqing answered truthfully.

"Go ahead!" *Lianbuda* was a bit panicked. He took a bitter vegetable from his sleeve and stuffed it into He He Jiaqing's mouth,

telling him to chew and eat it.

This vegetable was too bitter, and He He Jiaqing's cheeks were trembling.

"Is this the vegetable from the *Bitter Vegetable Village*?"

*Lianbuda* nodded.

The old train laughed: "Are you two still in contact?"

*Lianbuda* sighed: "We're doing something big, so I need a vegetable. She still gave it."

This bitter vegetable was originally something *Lianbuda* wanted to save until the time of retreat, but the situation was critical, so he had to take it out early.

In the *Bitter Vegetable Village*, the Bitter Granny was cooking when she suddenly had a feeling in her heart.

She put down the pot in her hand and carefully selected a green bitter vegetable, rubbing it for a while.

The leaf turned yellow, and this bitter vegetable soon withered.

He He Jiaqing's brows relaxed, and he laughed loudly: "Two seniors, the timing is just right. Now there's an eighty percent chance."

He pulled the lotus leaf out without triggering any mechanisms. The old train and *Lianbuda* breathed a sigh of relief together.

Losing a leaf, the Great Melting Pot closed tightly. Between the exhalations of breath, more wandering souls escaped from the lotus heart.

The old train held the lotus leaf in his hand: "This is the *Hengju* (standard) we planned in advance. This leaf must be handed to the Peddler."

He He Jiaqing had no objection. This business had been successful. The old train and *Lianbuda* were about to retreat, but saw He He Jiaqing reaching for another leaf.

*Lianbuda* widened his small eyes: "What are you doing?"

The old train was also surprised: "You still want to take another one?"

He He Jiaqing said: "Two seniors, the first leaf was successful, and we've done this job smoothly. Taking another one shouldn't be too difficult."

*Lianbuda* was furious: "Are you crazy?"

The old train was also anxious: "If we don't leave now, we won't be able to get out!"

He He Jiaqing had already grabbed the leaf: "Two seniors, I don't want to go back empty-handed. If this leaf can be picked, the three of us will split it!"

Seeing the lotus heart about to turn, *Lianbuda* was sweating profusely: "I'm telling you, we only succeeded just now because we relied on my old woman's luck. Now we definitely don't have that luck!"

He He Jiaqing was very confident: "I feel that the bitter vegetable hasn't lost its effect yet. My mouth is still bitter, and the luck is still on our side!"

The old train was sweating: "He He Jiaqing, you are truly greedy!"

Xiang Xiang Hongying carried Ayu and Hua Jiuer and ran wildly, rushing out of the camp.

Behind them, a group of soldiers riding iron horses chased after them relentlessly, and behind the soldiers were rows of war chariots.

Ayu was seriously injured, Hua Jiuer was on the verge of death, and Xiang Xiang Hongying was covered in blood, some her own and some the enemy's.

The enemy's speed wasn't slow, but they couldn't outrun Xiang Xiang Hongying in the end. Ayu shouted wildly at the hook: "The exit location has changed, run south."

Xiang Xiang Hongying hurriedly changed direction and, under Ayu's guidance, finally returned to the entrance.

Entering the entrance and looking at her two daughters, Ayu felt her heart ache.

Hua Jiuer laughed: "Mother, it doesn't matter, it's just a puppet body."

Ayu hurriedly closed the entrance and started the machine. She was still in a hurry to save Li Qi.

"Mother, Xiaoyi has made a great contribution this time. She found a way to crack the *Thousand-Man Power Array*."

Ayu helped Xiaoyi wash and apply medicine: "Can the *Thousand-Man Power Array* really be cracked?"

Xiaoyi nodded: "Yes, using the *Fool's Cultivation* magic array can disrupt the enemy's standing position. As long as the position is disrupted, the formation can be cracked. Father must have done it this way back then."

Ayu sneered: "Your father is a piece of trash who died at the hands of the *Dangkou* Army. Does he have the means to break the formation?"

Ayu said: "Father fought with the *Dangkou* Army for so long, he must have had some methods."

"What father, that's your father!" Ayu was furious, "Don't mention that birdman to me. Thinking of him makes me angry."

"Don't be angry, Mother. We killed over forty thousand people, which counts as revenge for Father."

"Over forty thousand?" This number surprised Ayu.

Xiang Xiang Hongying said: "I didn't count carefully, but there should be forty thousand. But most of them were rookies. As long as the formation was slightly scattered, they wouldn't know how to fight.

There are still over two thousand veterans left. These people are too hard to fight. They were chasing us just now. Even if the formation is slightly scattered, they can make up for it themselves, and they can cooperate with first-class weapons. This is what the real *Dangkou* Army looks like."

Ayu applied medicine to Hua Jiuer without saying much.

Hua Jiuer said: "Mother, this camp has fifty thousand people, but Old Seven's camp only has twenty thousand. Why is there such a big difference?"

Xiang Xiang Hongying was also very worried: "What kind of soldiers did Old Seven encounter?"

"What he encountered should be the elite. Although you were forced by circumstances, you might have harmed Li Qi." Ayu didn't say too much. Zhao Zhao Xiaowan hadn't sent a message back, and there were some things she couldn't guess.

Ayu turned the valve to the maximum: "We have already been exposed, so we don't need to be so careful anymore. Hurry up and find a way to bring Old Seven back!"

The exit moved at full speed. In less than twenty minutes, Ayu found the previous location.

Standing on the hillside, Ayu looked toward the camp. She could see firelight and smell the smoke of gunpowder, but couldn't hear too much killing sound.

Ayu focused her eyes, and her eyes were constantly bloodshot. After a while, she saw a large group of soldiers standing by in the camp in neat military formations.

Many barracks had been destroyed, but the number of enemy casualties wasn't too high.

They were searching everywhere in the camp, clearly looking for the traces of Li Qi and the others.

"Mother, how is Old Seven?"

Hua Jiuer asked Ayu. Ayu asked Zhao Zhao Xiaowan through the hook, but Zhao Zhao Xiaowan didn't respond.

Xiang Xiang Hongying guessed a few things and, without thinking, rushed down the hillside.

Ayu called Ayu and pointed to the operating panel.

Ayu understood and nodded to Ayu.

Ayu followed Xiang Xiang Hongying and also rushed toward the camp.

Ayu exclaimed: "Ayu, what are you doing? Come back!"

Ayu refused to come back. She had promised Li Li Banfeng that she would fight the *Dangkou* Army with him.

Ayu looked at the *Dangkou* camp again and vaguely saw Li Qi's figure.

Li Qi seemed to have no way out.

Li Li Banfeng ran to the alley between the workshop and the armory and put down his wife and Jiang Linger.

Before this, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan had received the news from Ayu that the battle had started early. Before

The soldiers in the camp had already begun to assemble.

If they waited for them to finish assembling, it would be too late to detonate the explosives; Li Li Banfeng detonated them ahead of time, killing over three thousand people.

The remaining seventeen thousand plus people formed a military formation; this battle would be difficult to fight.

Li Li Banfeng first charged and killed left and right, then hid east and west, and now he had been forced into this alley.

Niangzi was injured, Jiang Linger's condition was passable, and Li Li Banfeng hid the wounds on his body, not wanting them to see.

A troop of about a hundred people chased into the alley; Li Li Banfeng stared at the tail of the enemy troop and stepped on the "Trample Ten Thousand Rivers" to charge up.

The technique of this step was quite on point, not even inferior to Xiang Xiang Hongying's.

The enemy troop of over a hundred, counting both the dead and the wounded, had over twenty people fall; the others were still standing, and the formation was in disarray.

The "Bandit-Quelling Army" that fought Xiang Xiang Hongying was called the "Green Sharp Battalion"; they had never fought a battle, nor had they received much training.

Li Li Banfeng was facing the "Blade-Sharpening Battalion," the elite of the Bandit-Quelling Army; they had undergone long-term training and had even participated in the war against the Earth-Square Nation; although their combat power could not compare to the Bandit-Quelling Battalion that the Peddler had faced back then, these soldiers were completely different from the greenhorns Xiang Xiang Hongying had encountered.

Seeing Li Li Banfeng fall into an encirclement, Zhao Zhao Xiaowan spat out steam and sang loudly: "The sea of blood surges with red waves, a lone rider tramples ten thousand ridges! The spear picks the Big Dipper and the cold stars fall, the horse tramples the Southern Heaven and the purple lightning rages! Hu bu bu bu~"

With the singing voice of the "Liao Ni," plus the sweeping of steam, the enemy formation was slightly scattered; Jiang Linger fired steel needles in succession, carrying silk threads, strangling over ten people in the military formation; Li Li Banfeng used "Flower-Viewing on Horseback," his figure disappeared once, concentrated his intent and disappeared again, using his techniques to the limit, killing over twenty people.

Over a hundred Bandit-Quelling soldiers, more than half were killed in action, and they temporarily retreated from the alley.

But outside the alley, there were still over ten thousand Bandit-Quelling soldiers surrounding them.

Jiang Linger's steel needles were exhausted, and the spools of silk thread were all empty.

The wounds on Zhao Zhao Xiaowan's body were bleeding incessantly; having just been reborn not long ago, her physique could barely hold on.

Danger approached, Li Li Banfeng turned on "Insightful Spirit Sound" and listened carefully.

The army outside seemed not to have moved, but the sound of machinery and wheels colliding was incessant.

Niangzi said: "They should have sent first-class blades."

The Blade-Sharpening Battalion's combat experience was very rich; not only were the soldiers brave and good at fighting, but the commanders were also good at adapting.

Facing a strong enemy like Li Li Banfeng, they did not intend to fill the gap with human lives; they wanted to wear the enemy to death little by little.

Li Li Banfeng opened "Personal Residence" and said to Zhao Zhao Xiaowan: "Niangzi, you take Linger and go home first."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan looked at Li Li Banfeng and said: "Where do you intend to go?"

Li Li Banfeng said: "I will go look elsewhere to see if there is still a chance to defeat the enemy."

Zhao Zhao Xiaowan grabbed Li Li Banfeng's hand: "Husband, come back with me; as long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood; the timing for a sneak attack has passed, this battle has no chance of winning, now you cannot act on impulse."

When Niangzi said this, Li Li Banfeng's heart wavered.

Returning to the Personal Residence, he used his intent to control the Personal Residence to leave the battlefield first.

If he really couldn't fight, he could retreat completely; if he could still fight, he could kill his way back.

Li Li Banfeng was just about to go back with Niangzi, when he suddenly heard the Personal Residence say in his ear: "Ah Qi, you stay a while longer, I have something to tell you."

What urgent matter, that it had to be said now?

"Niangzi, you go home, I'll be there in a while."

"Husband, you cannot be stubborn!"

"Don't worry, I can leave whenever I want."

Sending Niangzi and Jiang Linger into the Personal Residence, Li Li Banfeng heard the old man's voice: "Ah Qi, I don't think I can walk out."

Li Li Banfeng was shocked: "You can't walk out? Lost? Don't you have the 'Fixed Plate Map'?"

In Li Li Banfeng's impression, there was no such concept as the Personal Residence not being able to walk out.

"The 'Thousand-Man Three Formations' have changed; the formation those people outside set up is specifically used to trap opponents; I've tried several times just now, and I really can't charge out."

The Thousand-Man Three Formations could even trap the Personal Residence?

That group of soldiers couldn't even see the Personal Residence, didn't even know of the Personal Residence's existence, and they could actually trap the Personal Residence?

Li Li Banfeng finally understood why the Peddler had fought so arduously against the Bandit-Quelling Battalion back then.

"Ah Qi, when you go home in a while, try your best to throw the key into the enemy's military formation; after you get home, use the 'Linked Lian Dongfang' to connect to the residence in Gourd Village and send the whole family away."

"Not just your wife, but others in the family too; 'Lai Lai Wuju' isn't much, but she will definitely be useful in the future, you must take her with you."

"There are some old furniture at home, more or less they all have self-generated spirits; try to take as many as you can."

Li Li Banfeng said: "What about you?"

The Personal Residence said: "I don't know if the 'Linked Lian Dongfang' can pass through the Thousand-Man Three Formations; I will charge outward from inside the enemy's formation, try to get as close to Gourd Village as possible, and find a way to help you connect the residence in Gourd Village."

"And then?"

"Then..."

The Personal Residence was silent for a moment and said: "Brother, you must live; your wife is right, as long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood."

Li Li Banfeng lowered his head; the wound on his arm could no longer be hidden, and fresh blood flowed onto the ground.

The first-class blades were getting closer and closer; the Personal Residence urged: "Ah Qi, it's time to go!"

"Go, leaving now." Li Li Banfeng lowered his brim.

A halo of light rippled from the bloodstains, and the shadows appeared beside Li Li Banfeng.

"Ah Qi, what are you doing?"

Li Li Banfeng didn't answer; he put the key into his suit's inner pocket.

The Personal Residence stopped him: "Hurry and go! Even I can't get out, what else do you want to do?"

"Personal Residence, no matter where I go, you must follow me; let's go together."

Li Li Banfeng took a group of shadows and charged out of the alley.
