Seeing that Hou Tu was so calm, Li Qi felt a little relieved, and he couldn't leave at this time, because at this time, he had to promote and praise him.

So he started the propaganda machine again, telling everyone about the victory of the Allies on the Western battlefield, and threatening that the Allies would fully enter the Moon Land.

Whether it is a royal family or a second-class race, they are confident that this is true, because no matter what, Chang Xi and the others still retreated. If they can fight, how could they retreat?

The entire Chinese Alliance suddenly looked boiling, everyone was excited and raised their glasses to celebrate, as if victory was already close.

And...the leader is mighty.

But the General Staff had no atmosphere of celebration, but instead became busier.

First, the General Staff immediately ordered the troops of the Western Theater Command to retreat in full swing. They were worried that the army would go too deep. Once Chang Xi's main force returned to the local area, they might face the risk of being surrounded, which also included the suspension of the plan to march into the demon territory of the Great Wilderness clan, because Chang Xi and the others were retreating northwest, and Duanshan was very dangerous.

Secondly, Haiye and others were ordered to retreat to the South China Sea, defend the South China Sea area, and wait for the arrival of the next Yaqi Legion.

Finally, all the main forces on the main battlefield were transferred to the west, including a super aircraft carrier fleet composed of sixteen Yamata, which immediately rushed to the South China Sea.

This is a large-scale battlefield transfer, and it is also the largest transfer since the founding of the Kingdom, with various means of transportation coming into play. The Kingdom's white rhinoceros, deer beasts, speed vultures, Qu Ru, human aircraft, trains, and ships.

Allies are all in the sky, the earth and the sea.

The scale is so spectacular that it is really comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush!

It seemed that the Allies had entered the stage of defensive to offensive, but in fact it was not the case. When the main force of the Allies' air force entered the Western Theater Command, Chang Xi and his main force also returned to the local area and immediately launched an offensive against the Allies, forcing the Allies to retreat to Blind Mountain in a wave.

However, under the leadership of Taotie, Blind Mountain has built many fortifications, and has used the dangerous terrain of Blind Mountain to build an anti-aircraft artillery position on a large scale. At the same time, a large number of air forces have also arrived at Blind Mountain.

Chang Xi's main fleet did not dare to go deeper, and the two sides formed a confrontation on the blind mountain, but it was not that they would not fight at all. Both sides were fighting all the time, but they were all tentative battles. They did not hoard the main force to fight to the decisive battle. If they did not fight, they would not be able to find the other party's loopholes.

But in fact, if you want to fight, you can still fight. It has reached this point, and there is only one battle. Especially for Chang Xi, she still has the initiative. However, Chang Xi believes that if the decisive battle is now, the risk is too great and there is no certainty of winning. Moreover, even if you win, the losses must be very heavy. The technology of the purification pool there has been great progress. When they return to Tianchi to research and development, the speed is much faster than that outside, so it is better to wait for that technology to come out before the decisive battle.

The same is true for the Allied forces. They also hope that humans can improve radar technology, come up with more powerful weapons, and find ways to crack the spiritual shield.

The two sides formed a tacit understanding.

The King of Earth and Xing Tiangong had also left the Guishan Mountain and went to the royal city, but Li Qi did not follow him. Instead, he went to Lingzhou because he had learned that Ren Nu had returned to Lingzhou.

But at this time, Lingzhou was isolated by a fog, and no creature could enter.

"You are here!"

Houtu walked to Li Qi.

Li Qi glanced at Ren Nu who was kneeling on his knees in the distance and said in surprise: "What is Ren Nu doing?"

"She is praying for the tree of the earth to give her spiritual energy."

"ah?"

Li Qi looked at Houtu in confusion.

Hou Tu sighed softly and said, "Actually, we had found a way to crack the other party's blood and energy long ago."

Li Qi said in surprise: "What? Why have I never heard you mention it?"

Houtu sighed again and told Li Qi about the mutual generation and restraint between the trees of the earth and the Tianchi.

"I seem to understand!"

Li Qi nodded in a vague way and said, "That kind of blood was extracted by Chang Xi and the others from the undead in Tianchi, so the spiritual energy in the bodies of the creatures on the tree of the earth just happened to restrain that kind of blood."

Houtu said: "In fact, it is mutual restraint."

Li Qi seemed to understand, but became even more confused, and said, "I can still understand the extraction of spiritual energy from Tianchi. After all, it seems to be water. I have seen some substance extracted from water. But how to pray for the tree of the earth to give spiritual energy... I can't understand this. Is there a successful case in the past?"

Hou Tu shook his head.

“……”

Li Qi suddenly felt that this matter was not so reliable, and he couldn't help but think of ancient humans praying for rain in the world. At such a critical moment, who dared to bet on this? Suddenly, he remembered the old turtle and said, "By the way! Is Ren Nu praying for the help of the ancient creature...Damn it!"

Only a sign-like scream was heard, and Li Qi suddenly disappeared from Houtu.

"Liqi!"

Hou Tu was shocked and looked around, but he could see Li Qi's shadow.

......

“Where is this?”

Li Qi felt a powerful suction force just now, but it disappeared in an instant. However, he found that the land in front of him suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings were full of colorful clouds. There was a colorful mountain beside him, emitting light. Looking up, he couldn't help but say, "Wow! What a beautiful mountain!"

Suddenly I heard a lazy voice, "This is not a mountain."

I saw a pair of big eyes suddenly opened in the middle of the mountain.

"Depend on!"

Li Qi's legs became weak and his butt sat on the ground.

When I saw the "mountain" shrinking to the height of him, it turned out to be a bird and beast that looked like a phoenix, with golden light shining all over my body.

"You...you are...ancient creatures."

Li Qi pointed at the birds and beasts and said tremblingly.

But the ancient creature smiled and said, "Human, long time no see."

"What? Long time no see?"

Li Qi was stunned and said, "Have we seen it before? It probably didn't. I heard of you too."

"I've met once."

The ancient creature said, "But you definitely don't remember it."

Why does this tone look very similar to the old turtle... Li Qi muttered to himself, suddenly opened his eyes and asked carefully: "May I ask, do you know a turtle?"

The ancient creature asked without answering, "It seems that you have seen him."

They knew each other. Li Qi suddenly looked at the ancient creature in front of him, and recalled the legend of the old turtle and the four ancient creatures, thinking that it would not be such a coincidence. So he asked again: "You are not the legendary Zhuque and Xuanwu."

"Interesting! Interesting!" The ancient creature laughed a few times and said, "In your human world, that's a legend, but it's not a legend here."

Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then pointed at her and said, "You...you are really Suzaku."

Suzaku nodded.

Li Qi immediately got up and said excitedly: "Sister Zhuque, do you know that my admiration for you is like a surging river, continuous, and like the flood of the Yellow River, it is out of control."

Zhuque smiled and said, "You are really not like you at all."

"I was the first me?" Li Qi's eyes turned and asked, "Sister Zhuque, what's going on? Why did I come here? Grandpa Xuanwu said..."

"The generation is wrong." Zhuque corrected.

"Seniority? Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it was Brother Xuanwu who said that I belonged here, but I obviously don't belong here. Sister Zhuque, you are so powerful, you should know what's going on."

Li Qi was so eager to flatter, so he had to ask for something. Since Xuanwu knew his origin, Zhuque must also know that he let Xuanwu go, and this time he couldn't let Zhuque go. He really wanted to know the answer.

Zhuque said: "I should not tell you this, but you should look for it yourself. However, the result should come out soon, but the premise is that you can live until then."

Li Qi looked shocked and said, "Do I have any bad omen?"

Suzaku said: "Aren't you fighting a war now? If you lose, do you think you can still live?"

Li Qi's eyes turned and he hesitated: "With Sister Zhuque, you are protecting me, who can hurt me?"

Zhuque shook his head and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'll call you here, just because I just woke up and there was no one around who knew each other. It was quite boring. I saw you coming just now, so I asked you to come and talk to me to relieve my boredom."

It turned out that I asked me to chat with you! But... but I have to pay for you to chat with you! Li Qi said, "Sister Zhuque, you have found the right person. I, Li Qi, don't have the ability, but this chat is my innate talent. But... I am plagued by trivial matters now, so it's hard to calm down and chat with you Sister Zhuque. Since we have known each other before, what's wrong with helping me?"

Suzaku said: "You should be very clear in your heart how that knowledge comes from. In fact, this is already unfair to other races, so you can't ask for more."

Is it really a virtue like Xuanwu? Is it a luxury to let you wave your wings? Li Qi's eyes shook a few times and said, "When Brother Xuanwu was so thrusting, I suddenly realized that I have always relied on myself, but I originally planned to form an alliance with the Spirit Clan and rely on the power of the Spirit Clan to defeat Chang Xi, but Sister Zhuque, you drove the Spirit Clan out of here again, which disrupted my plan."

Zhuque asked with a smile: "Since that's the case, why didn't your plan stop Chang Xi from burning them into the earth tree?"

"This... a wise man will have a mistake, and there will be a mistake...haha."

Li Qi laughed dryly and then tentatively said: "In other words, Sister Zhuque will definitely not use spiritual energy to Ren Nu."

"Of course not."

Zhuque changed his mind and said, "But she did not pray to me either. She was praying for the tree of the earth and the creatures living here."

Li Qi said: "Even so, then Sister Zhuque, you nodded!"

Suzaku said: "This has nothing to do with me."

Li Qi immediately asked: "That is to say, there is a possibility of success in Ren Nu."

"I don't know this either."

“……”

Li Qi said a little depressedly: "Sister Zhuque, you asked me to come up and chat, but you didn't say anything, how can you continue to chat?"

"Then you go."

"Don't, I'm wrong... Spirit Lord?"

Before he could say that "reply", he felt like crying when he saw Houtu standing in front of him. No, he didn't even give me a word of time.
To be continued...
