"So, 'immediate retreat' was your final decision, right?"

Yue Yu crossed his arms and looked meaningfully at Jiang Mo in front of him, then turned to Fei Xiao who was standing next to him and asked the same question.

"What about you, Feixiao? What's your decision?"

"Eh? Me? If it were me..."

Fei Xiao blinked his emerald eyes in surprise at first, then lowered his head slightly, as if lost in thought. After a long while, he spoke seriously:

"If it were me, I would also choose to retreat directly, because only in this way can we ensure that we can save more people in the future."

"Although I personally want to go and see what the situation is like in front of the Buli Camp, but..."

"I can't put everyone in danger because of the ideas of one or a few people, so I decided to retreat, because I know that in the future, after experiencing more, we will be able to save more people."

Hearing Feixiao's words, a hint of surprise first flashed in Yue Yu's pale eyes, and then he nodded approvingly, becoming more and more satisfied with his little disciple.

"Yes, the most common problem for a leader is making trade-offs. Finding the one that is more beneficial to the collective among two or more options is the most important thing."

"I'm pleased. You two have the potential to become leaders. Now... let's go and declare victory in this war together."

A relaxed smile appeared on Yue Yu's face. He then turned to look at Ning Li who was staring at something in a daze and said softly:

"Ningli, please inform your master and have them use the battleships to cut off the White Wolf hunting pack's chance of escape. Then, return to the team and prepare to set sail back to Yaoqing immediately."

Yue Yu's words were like a thunderclap exploding in Ning Li's ears, instantly breaking her away from the state of observing Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao.

She suddenly raised her head, stared at Yue Yu blankly for a while before nodding her head. After responding, she trotted away.

Watching Ningli's petite figure gradually disappear from his sight, Yue Yu blinked inexplicably, then turned his head to look at his two disciples and asked in a somewhat strange tone:

"Was what I said just now scary? Why is this girl making such a fuss like a frightened little rabbit?"

Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Mo's mouth trembled slightly, and then he shrugged helplessly.

Although he was well aware that Ningli's eyes had been fixed on him and Feixiao, but... at this time, what he had to do was to play dumb to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Feixiao blinked slightly in confusion, as if he had no idea what was going on.

"...Never mind, this girl might still be a little shy. Maybe she'll be fine if we get to know each other more closely later."

Yue Yu shrugged, putting the question about Ning Li behind him, then took Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao's hands, and said with a smile:

"Alright, let's go and announce the victory of this war to everyone in the Qingqiu Army~"

......

At the same time, at the gate of Buli Camp, about fifteen kilometers away from the temporary base of the Qingqiu Army, a gloomy fox man looked at the gradually retreating Qingqiu front with a gloomy face.

Behind him, a large number of fox people formed a strange and intimidating battle formation: hundreds of ragged fox slaves were pushed to the front, with a dagger flashing with cold light pressed against their necks.

Behind these panicked fox slaves stood foxes wearing dark silver light armor, with a hint of ferocity flickering in their pupils - or rather... "white wolves".

This is the usual tactic of the White Wolf hunting pack, using fox slaves as human shields and bargaining chips to shake the emotions of the Cloud Cavalry in order to achieve their own strategic goals.

But... this rogue tactic has a prerequisite for triggering, that is, the Xianzhou army is willing to approach and come into contact with them.

Obviously, the current actions of the Qingqiu Army directly eliminated this prerequisite, making all their arrangements come to nothing.

And this is the main reason why the fox man standing at the front of the battle formation has a "gloomy face".

"Master Liezi! Yaoqing's army suddenly began to retreat rapidly. Most of the battleships that were originally hovering not far from the camp also quickly returned to their base, as if... as if they were retreating!"

Listening to the report from his subordinates, the fox man called "Hunter" did not speak, but slowly closed his eyes, his chest heaving violently, as if he was calming himself down.

After a long silence, the gloomy fox slowly exhaled and murmured in a low voice:

"...Would that crazy woman from Yao Qing actually abandon so many of her "kindred" and not come to rescue them?"

"Forget it, if you don't want to rescue me, then don't come. I have plenty of ways to throw you into chaos..."

After saying that, he looked at the fox man beside him who had come to tell him the news and asked:

"Have you figured out the situation of that crazy woman's two disciples this time? Are they as strong as the informant reported?"

"Yes, yes. Although they are not as powerful as Yue Yu in terms of combat power, if they are given enough time to grow, they will definitely be able to achieve the results predicted by the astrologers of the "Zaochi Hunting Pack"..."

"Then don't give them time to grow," Liezi interrupted the fox scout's unfinished words and said calmly:

"Let's talk to Father and get ready to contact that bitch from the Chisel-Tooth Hunting Pack. Next time, we'll go straight to the Immortal Boat."

"Then let our compatriots who have successfully infiltrated the Yaoqing Immortal Boat prepare themselves. Whether it's the Qingqiu Army's indifference to these fox slaves or some other rumors..."

"As long as we can shake the reputation of the Qingqiu Army in Yaoqing and shake the will of some people, it will be fine."

"Yes!"

As soon as Liezi finished speaking, the fox scout rushed into Buli's camp to put his words into practice. He waved his hand gently at the strange battle formation behind him, as if to indicate something.

Sizzle——

In an instant, the sounds of several daggers cutting flesh and blood were heard behind him, and several panicked fox slaves died at the hands of a fox who was even more powerful than Bu Li.

Of course, there were also a large number of ragged fox people who simply moved their necks slightly and then broke free from the control of those fox people.

If Jiang Mo could see this scene... he would probably be extremely grateful for the decision he made.

Among the more than one thousand fox people, only less than two hundred are true fox slaves, and the rest are all "white wolves" from the white wolf hunting pack.

If you rush to rescue him rashly... the result is obvious - you will most likely be stabbed to death by the white wolves in the white wolf hunting pack.

Even with an envoy like Yue Yu in charge, the Qingqiu army will suffer some damage to a greater or lesser extent, and the credibility of Yue Yu, Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao will also decline because of this mistake.

This is the most serious problem. After all, trust is something... once lost, it is difficult to get it back.

Looking at the Qingqiu Cloud Riders who had disappeared from his sight, White Wolf Hunter shook his head slightly and then said:

"Everyone, prepare to board the interstellar ship that the Xingfeng Hunting Group left for us. We will make subsequent plans after we return to the main base."

"After this trial is over, our next expedition will be to capture Yao Qing in one fell swoop and sound the clarion call for a counterattack against the Immortal Boat!"

Just as he finished speaking, three huge black shadows flashed past their heads, accompanied by the explosion sound of the imaginary energy cannon tearing through the space, and a series of "meteors" with red tail flames streaked across the sky and crashed straight into the interstellar ship located behind the entire camp.

Under the hunter's slightly dazed gaze, a flash of fire shot up into the sky from behind the camp. The shock wave caused by the explosion made these "white wolves" unable to stand steadily for a while.

Their hope of escaping from here before the imperial bow and arrows descended was also extinguished in the flames rising into the sky.

Looking at the scene before them, the White Wolf Army, which had been noisy originally, instantly fell into dead silence, and after a while, bursts of wailing broke out.

They knew very well that they might never be able to return to the main base.

The arrival of the Immortal Boat Cloud Riders often means the arrival of the Patrol Light Arrows. Even if the existing resources in the camp can last until the warships of the White Wolf Hunting Group come to support... the Patrol Light Arrows will tear them apart first.

Listening to the wailing of his subordinates and looking at the flames rising into the sky in front of him, White Wolf Hunter fell into a long silence, as if he was adjusting his state, or as if he was thinking about where he would go after his death.

The blood pool of the Buli people will not accept it because it is a lowly slave in their eyes.

The fox people of Qingqiu would not accept it either, because it stood on the opposite side of them and its hands were stained with the blood of the fox people.

The almost insane fanaticism of the converts subsided slightly under the shadow of death, but the confession at this time was like the confession of a death row prisoner before being injected with potassium chloride - meaningless.

It suddenly felt an unimaginable heat wave coming from above its head. The arrogant White Wolf Hunter raised his head slightly and looked at the purple arrow of light that was still tearing through the clouds, without a trace of expression on his face.

The next moment, the huge imaginary energy instantly annihilated its body, and the wailing sounds around it also stopped at this moment, replaced by dead silence.

"The hunting pack will eventually win. The weak fox people are simply no match for the Buli people. Destruction... is the inevitable outcome."

This was its last thought before it completely disappeared from the world.

......

Through the porthole of the Star Raft, Jiang Mo looked at the purple arrow of light falling from the sky, and for a moment he was a little... shocked.

Although he had witnessed the imperial bow and arrow falling once when he was in Luo Yuxing last time, he did not have the opportunity to witness the whole process like he did now.

"If it weren't for the White Wolf Hunting Pack, this time... maybe we really would have been a little faster than the Emperor's bow's arrows?"

"Yeah, I think so too."

Feixiao nodded his little head quite seriously, then turned his head slightly and looked at the pretty face in front of him which was less than two centimeters away from him, with a smile on his face.

"Next time, even if there are White Wolf hunting packs... we will act faster than Him."

"how do I say this?"

"Because... I'm already familiar with the battle strategies. The next war will be a true battle fought side by side."

Feixiao patted Jiang Mo's shoulder carelessly, not caring at all that his cheek was getting closer and closer to Jiang Mo due to inertia, even to the point where they were almost touching.

The other cloud riders who were sitting on the same star ship with Jiang Mo and Fei Xiao... gave Jiang Mo an ambiguous look, then turned their heads away in tacit understanding and went about their own business - as blind as their colleagues in the tea room.

As for Yue Yu, at this moment she followed her old tradition, hiding in the lounge and quietly watching the two of them through the observation window, with a strange smile on her face - commonly known as aunt's smile.

Although Yue Yu is only a little over 150 years old now, which is not considered old among the fox people, her life of fighting for many years makes her particularly like this kind of warm scene.

"Hiss... these two kids don't have parents. Do I have to drink two cups of tea alone during the wedding ceremony?"

Yue Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about the future.

Looking at the two people engaging in unconsciously intimate interactions in front of her, Ningli's eyes widened slightly, and her heart felt a little...sour for a moment.

To be honest, she was actually quite envious of Feixiao.

Being able to receive Jiang Mo's love, fight alongside him, and help him heal his wounds...

For herself, she also hopes that she can stand by his side like Feixiao and have some...intimate behavior with him.

Watching Feixiao's intentional or unintentional action of holding Jiang Mo's arm, Ningli bit her lower lip lightly, then stretched out her hand with some trembling, gently hugged Jiang Mo's left hand, and put on an attitude of "I will not let go no matter what you say."

The weak little fox is like this. Even if it is about to carry out a session similar to the Shura Field, it is still weak and has no killing power at all.

Feeling the sudden softness pressing against his arm and the slight trembling along his arm, Jiang Mo's body suddenly stiffened, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

He knew this would happen as early as when Ningli stared at him and Feixiao intently.

But...this so-called "competition" doesn't seem to be that fierce in his opinion?

However, just when Jiang Mo was thinking this... Ningli suddenly raised her head, her sparkling black eyes looking at Jiang Mo quietly, and asked softly:

"Um...Jiang Mo, can you accompany me to take the adult exam?"

Chapter 44: The first smooth landing... Shura Field? (3.8k)

Hearing Ning Li's words, the expression on Jiang Mo's face, which had just recovered, suddenly froze, as if he had thought of some bad scenario.

As we all know, for the immortal species, the boundary of adulthood is actually not so clear. In order to implement the grading system and maintain the order of the Immortal Boat, the Immortal Boat Alliance introduced the "Adult Examination" policy.

Xianzhou residents of any age can take the adult examination when they think it is appropriate. Passing the examination means they have the label of "adult", otherwise they are still "minors".

As soon as they boarded the Star Chariot, Yue Yu had already helped Fei Xiao and Ning Li arrange the adult examination.

While the battle report was being sent back, she took the opportunity to tell Yunqi from General Yonglie's Mansion to help Feixiao and Ningli register for the adult exam.

Perhaps because the household registration files of these two people were generated at almost the same time, their exam times completely overlapped, but...

Since Ningli was studying at the Tianbo Division and Feixiao was studying in the Qingqiu Army, the examination room assigned to these two people almost spanned half of the Yaoqing Immortal Boat.

Even if Jiang Mo was promoted to Cloud Cavalry Guard, he did not know the art of clone and Flying Thunder God, so he was destined to only be able to take the exam for one of the two.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Although according to his thinking... facing this Shura-like situation, the best solution is to remain silent and not express an opinion, just waiting for the light bulb to flash in his mind and come up with the corresponding result, but...

This situation of complete conflict of interests forces Jiang Mo to make a choice between the two.

But no matter what choice you make, it will make the other person feel bad, and things will probably get worse afterwards, so...

"What should I do now? Should I choose one of the two or keep silent and wait for Yue Yu to come and rescue me?"

He turned his head like a machine, looked in the direction of the lounge, and called Yue Yu's name loudly in his heart.

"Help me! General Yue Yu!"

But this time, Jiang Mo did not see Yue Yu's pale eyes in the black observation window.

Just as Jiang Mo was wailing in his heart, a soft touch suddenly climbed up his wrist, which made him subconsciously look down - it was Ningli's tail.

The fox girl's tail unconsciously swept across Jiang Mo's arm at this moment, just like a little girl begging an adult to buy her a doll she liked.

This unconscious behavior perfectly confirmed the logic that "the fox man's tail and the fox man are two different creatures", but it also gave Jiang Mo a headache.

It would be fine if Ningli, this weak little fox, didn't act like a spoiled brat. But once she started to act like a spoiled brat, she felt that if he didn't agree to Ningli's request, he would be bullying this little girl.

Feixiao looked at Jiang Mo, whose smile froze, and then looked at Ningli, who seemed to be begging for something. His emerald eyes blinked slightly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then he raised his hands and put his arms around Jiang Mo's neck.

"Hiss...it seems a bit unfortunate..." Fei Xiao gently pressed his body against Jiang Mo's and said with a chuckle:
