As Crocodile Yi said, the war is about to break out. As the leader of Qi Duqu's team, how can he not be at his post? What's more, the entire Taoshan coalition only has Mao Qi energy to deal with the alien atmosphere.
"Go back, I don't have to worry here." Looking at Mao Qi's shocked expression, Crocodile Hao nodded and continued urging.
Since Crocodile Hao was so reasonable, Mao Qi did not hesitate, looked at Crocodile Yi with a solicitous look, and prepared to return to Taoshan Village.
Although Mao Qi could condense a spiritual shield, his speed was indeed not as fast as that of Crocodile Hao. In order to save time, Crocodile Hao asked Mao Qi and Crocodile Yi to stand on his back.
When Crocodile Yi was leaving, Crocodile Hao once again told him: "Xiao Qi, in the future, unless absolutely necessary, you must use Phantom Borrowing World less often."
Seeing Crocodile Hao disappearing into the swamp, Mao Qi gently hugged Crocodile Yi's shoulders. The early morning breeze brought a bit of coolness, Crocodile Yi nestled in Mao Qi's arms, tears still flowing down.
"Isn't it dangerous to use the Nine Heavens?" After a long time, Crocodile Yi asked with concern.
"A little bit, but don't worry, it's of no use to me." Mao Qi nodded and comforted.
"Brother Qi, no matter what happens, you must take care of yourself and be careful. I don't want to live alone for the rest of my life." Crocodile Yi got out of Mao Qi's arms and said to Mao Qi earnestly.
Seeing Mao Qi nod seriously, Crocodile Yi smiled with satisfaction.
The two of them did not rest along the way, and before the sun set, they arrived at the boundary of Taoshan Village.
Along the way, Crocodile Yi kept running his skills and following Mao Qi. Although he was extremely tired, he never asked for a rest.
Looking at Crocodile Yi who looked tired, Mao Qi felt a little heartbroken. Although he was anxious to go back, he didn't say anything to urge him.
"I don't know how many people Fourth Brother and Sun Panghai have recruited." When it was finally approaching, Mao Qi was looking forward to it in his heart.
Suddenly, I heard bursts of noisy shouting coming from the courtyard. It seemed like there was a fight, and there seemed to be someone vaguely booing.
"Let's go take a look. Something seems to have happened to our fourth brother and the others." Mao Qi became anxious, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart.
Crocodile Yi nodded and followed quickly.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw dozens of people gathered together, with figures flashing in the middle, as if they were fighting vigorously.
Mao Qi activated his realm energy and rushed to the front of the crowd. He saw Qu Qushi fighting with a burly young man of similar age.
Although the young man was tall, he was also extremely flexible. From the aura he exuded, Mao Qi knew that he was a Feng Zhan.
"It seems that I don't need to take action, the fourth brother can handle it." Mao Qi breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself.
Within a moment, the young man was caught in a flaw by Ququshi, and a wind blade was placed on his forehead. Ququshi also stopped immediately.
"It turns out it was a martial arts competition, which made me worry in vain." Mao Qi smiled awkwardly in his heart, and the worry just now disappeared without a trace.
"Cousin scholar, you are really awesome. I am willing to show my displeasure, cousin." The young man bowed his hands and said.
"Cousin Qihu, I accepted. I am far behind compared to my elder brother these days." Qu Qushi won, and he did not forget to praise Mao Qi and Mao Qi. The reason why Qu Qushi said this is
In order to establish the prestige of Mao Qi.
"Your brother, you are really that powerful. If you have the chance, you should ask for advice." Qu Qiuhu said doubtfully.
"I think with your level, it's not too bad to ask for advice." Sun Yu'er squeezed out from the crowd and said with a condescending look.
"Is it really that powerful?" Qu Qiaohu still looked unconvinced. He thought unconvinced in his heart: "I have been studying and practicing hard in the past few years, but to be looked down upon like this, I don't believe it."
"You still don't believe it, but he is the champion of this Taoshan Martial Arts Tournament." Sun Yu'er raised her hand and pointed casually, saying as if she was waiting for a good show.
"This, this I am willing to be defeated again." Qu Qiaohu said hesitantly.
He really couldn't muster up the courage to challenge the champion of Momoyama Martial Arts Association.
"The champion of the Momoyama Martial Arts Association, it seems that Lord Duduhu is right. There is hope for the revival of the Qiduqu family." Everyone started talking about it.
"What do you think he looks like? Is he handsome?" a young girl next to Mao Qi said with stars in her eyes.
"I don't know if he is handsome or not, but he must look very fierce. Masters usually look fierce." A young man next to the girl cursed.
"Am I ugly?" Mao Qi said to himself.
"Not fierce, but a bit too ugly." Crocodile Yi looked at Mao Qi and said with a smile.
"Did you hear that? That beauty said she was ugly." The young man leaned close to the girl's ear and said in a loud voice.
Hearing the man's words, Mao Qi suddenly felt speechless.
Sun Yu'er raised her chin proudly, and inadvertently glanced in the direction of her finger, only to see Mao Qi looking at her with a sad face.
"Mao Qi, you shrinking turtle, you're finally back." Seeing that Mao Qi was only looking at her now, Sun Yu'er screamed in jealousy.
Sun Yu'er's voice was earth-shattering, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Mao Qi, making Mao Qi feel hot and itchy all over.
"Brother, you are back." Ququshi also spotted Mao Qi in the crowd and walked over excitedly.
"Fourth brother, it seems that we have contacted your tribe." Mao Qi smiled awkwardly.
I was talked about just now, and now I am called a turtle with a shrunken head. It seems that my reputation has been ruined in one day.
"Yes." Ququshi said happily.
"Captain Maoqi, you're back. I've been so busy these days that I don't know what's going on." Hearing Sun Yu'er's shout, the busy Sun Panghai dropped his work and squeezed out of the crowd.
He came in and said with a flattering smile.
"Fat boss, you really know how to take credit. I, Sun Yu'er, have also done a lot of work." Sun Yu'er put her hands on her waist and said with a small mouth.
"Okay, you deserve the most credit. But should we let the captain go back to his room first and take a rest? Look at how tired he is." Sun Panghai catered to Sun Yu'er and changed the subject.
When he saw the champion of Momoyama Martial Arts Association, Qu Qiuhu, who was standing beside him, became nervous. After hesitating for a long time, he followed Mao Qi and his group. His expression was awkward and there was no hint of arrogance from before.
"Didn't you say he was fierce and ugly?" The girl just now said fiercely, staring at the young man with her eyes wide open.
Sun Yu'er's words did not have much impact on Mao Qi's image. Because the title of champion of Momoyama Martial Arts Association was too heavy.
While everyone was talking, they dispersed in twos and threes. As Sun Panghai said just now, there were still many things to be busy with.
"Fourth brother, it seems that there have been a lot of changes in the past few days. I can't wait to talk about it." As soon as he approached the room, Mao Qi saw a large map hanging on the wall. In addition to some chairs, there were
Nothing else, I asked curiously.
"Brother, please take a seat and listen to me slowly." Ququshi said as he led Maoqi to sit down.
Mao Qi was stunned for a moment, but did not refuse, but his curiosity became more intense.
"On the third day after you left, my uncle brought the remaining clan members to Taoshan Village. After some discussion, it was decided that my uncle would serve in the headquarters, and I would assist my eldest brother in leading the family team. After selection, a total of
2,488 people were selected to join the team, plus the 12 people recruited by Sun Panhai, there are exactly 2,500 people." Qu Qushi said excitedly.
In fact, the fact that so many people in the Qiduqu family can survive is the most unexpected surprise for Ququshi.
"Just today, the Great Saint Sect and the Gale Wind Sect have occupied the two city defenses outside Taoshan Village. Fortunately for you, you have been missing for nearly half a month. For those who don't know, I thought you escaped from the battle. Now you have to show your performance quickly.
, I still expect you to fight?" Sun Yuer shouted with dissatisfaction.
Half a month later, the war had begun, and Mao Qi digested this information in surprise.
"Since there are so many of us, we need to plan carefully and share your thoughts?" Mao Qi choked at Sun Yu'er's words, but then calmed down and said.
"Brother, we have already discussed this. We are just waiting for you to come back and make up your mind." Ququshi quickly answered the conversation excitedly.
"Tell me about it!" Mao Qi also became interested.
Crocodile Yi on the side saw that Mao Qi was in high spirits, so he quietly went to rest.
"First of all, we should have a title, secondly we should have a flag, and finally you should assign us a position, and then formulate some team rules." Although Ququshi's series of ideas were all important, none of them were
There are results.
Ququshi's thoughts made Mao Qi roll his eyes. He had said so much, and they were all test questions for himself. However, the most important thing at the moment was to understand the deployment of the command headquarters.
"Does the command have any instructions?"
"The headquarters requires us to reorganize the team and prepare for combat." Sun Panghai said.
After some questions and answers, Mao Qi basically understood what happened in the past half month. According to Mao Qi's speculation, the reason why the Momoyama Allied Forces took the lead in occupying the two city defenses was not to start a full-scale war, but to occupy powerful terrain to prevent war.
Spread to Taoshan Village.
In order to catch up with the progress of the other two teams, after much discussion, the name of the team was finally decided.
The name of the team is "Freedom Pioneers"; the flag is the flag of the Qiduqu family, a gray-white and green-leaf flag.
Although Qu Qiaohu remained silent, his heart was always full of passion.
The next morning, Mao Qi couldn't wait to bring Ququshi to the training ground.
Feeling the neat movements and shouts of thousands of people, Mao Qi felt that his blood was surging, and he couldn't help but have a little more admiration for the Qiduqu family. They were defeated like this, and their lives were in danger at any time, but they could still maintain their strength.
Such a well-disciplined team.
Under the leadership of Qu Qushi, Mao Qi and others slowly walked to the center of the training ground. The team's training came to an abrupt end. Under the command of the school field conductor, the teams lined up neatly, and all eyes focused on the center of the school field.
Feeling the gazes of thousands of people, Mao Qi became slightly panicked and couldn't find anything to say for a while.
After taking a few deep breaths, Mao Qi wanted to calm down quickly, but several times he hesitated to speak and could not speak.
"Brothers, this is Ququshi's eldest brother and our captain." Sun Panghai saw Mao Qi's embarrassment and walked to the stage generously to introduce him.
"Captain! We must win!" The overwhelming voices were louder than the waves, but they were uniform.
The soldiers' voices were like thunder from the sky, shocking the heart; their fearless momentum was like a rushing river, making people's blood rush. The soldiers roared in unison, their excited expressions gradually revealed as they shouted.
Mao Qi's heart suddenly calmed down, and he slowly closed his eyes. The surroundings seemed to be much quieter. Mao Qi felt that he had returned to the night of the Huaxia tribe's adult ceremony, and his bold words and ambitions came from his heart and his feelings.
With the clear sound in his ears again, Mao Qi opened his eyes and made a natural but solemn gesture to silence everyone.
"Brothers!" Mao Qi said with a voice as loud as a bell and as steady as Mount Tai. "Just now, I didn't even know what I wanted to say. But at this moment, my heart is beating so fast. My brothers , can survive in loneliness and fear only because of a belief, a belief in fighting for the survival of the family, the honor of the family, and the freedom of the people. Today I named us the Freedom Pioneers, just to make us and our descendants , say goodbye to loneliness and fear. Brothers, fight for survival and freedom."
"Fight for survival, fight for freedom." Before Mao Qi's voice could linger, the entire school grounds resounded with deafening sounds.??
