Chapter 1545: Compromise
When the blood on Elder Yuan's shoulder blade was completely stopped, he finally recovered from the failure.
"Ahem! I'm really ashamed. I am here to apologize to our sect. I hope that our lord will ignore the villain and let our low-level disciples of Yuyu Sect go. I will do whatever you want to do with me." Elder Yuan is also a ruthless person, and he knows that he If this party continued to act like a hero and angered the Shenxin Sect, they would be in danger of being completely destroyed, so he actually took the overall situation into consideration and decided to compromise.
The current situation is indeed very unfavorable to the Yuyu Sect. If before the competition, the Shenxin Sect would still be afraid that Elder Yuan is a strong man at the seventh level of cultivator and would not dare to act rashly. But now Elder Yuan not only cannot win but also has to pay for his injuries. , aren’t the remaining disciples just fish in the eyes of the other party?
"It's not that serious, Elder Yuan, wasn't the previous bet made very clear? Again, your faction will stay and hunt rabbits, pheasants and other small animals for us for a few days, and we will also treat your faction Send disciples to implement the policy of providing food and accommodation. If an orc escapes from the forest, we can also jointly attack, and the orc hunted by your sect will also be owned by you. Isn't this a good thing that has the best of both worlds?" Elder Gong said it lightly. , but hearing this made Elder Yuan feel uncomfortable.
This is not a matter of having the best of both worlds. The most important thing is that the Yuyu Sect has already lost its face before accepting the charity from the Shenxin Sect. They must be responsible for beating small animals. This is simply an insult. If this matter spreads out in the future, how will these disciples behave? Especially Elder Yuan, he might as well hit a wall and die.
But now that the situation is unfavorable, Elder Yuan cannot resist at all and can only make some slight bargaining plans.
"Well, since there was a bet in advance, of course our disciples can be dispatched by your sect, but if all ten disciples go hunting, it would be too much to make a fuss about, so I think I'll just dispatch half of them!"
Elder Yuan is now very conflicted. If all his disciples go hunting, naturally they can all leave, but he has become a man who breaks his promise and is afraid that he will no longer have a status in Yuyu Sect in the future. Moreover, all of them escaped, which meant that the mission of killing the Orcs was in vain. They returned to the sect before they even encountered the Shadow of the Orcs, which would only make everyone laugh. But while staying here, he lost the right to dominate. Fortunately, the people in the God's Heart Gate did not seem to be evil people, and they promised that the spoils obtained by his side would belong to him. After many comparisons, he finally decided to stay and continue completing the mission.
"As long as Elder Yuan agrees to be responsible for getting the prey, we don't require everyone in your family to go hunting," Elder Gong said. He also didn't want everyone in Yuyu Sect to go hunting. If there was a collective escape, wouldn't the Shenxin Sect be in trouble? He is only slightly stronger than Elder Yuan. When the time comes, Elder Yuan wants to run away, and there is nothing he can do to stop him.
"Okay, then it's settled. I have one last request. I hope that the people in your family will not reveal the results of today's competition. This will also allow me to coordinate their work."
Elder Gong nodded. Elder Yuan's face must be taken care of, otherwise future cooperation will be very difficult.
The Yuyu Sect is not far from the Shenxin Sect, only half a mile away. However, the disciples of the Shenxin Sect are all gathered here. The Yuyu Sect doesn’t know what happened to its leader there, but it feels like there is something wrong. There were some fights, but these disciples didn't dare to come and inspect them because of their low level.
When Elder Yuan and Deputy Wang returned dejectedly, everyone gathered around them. But Elder Yuan asked Deputy Wang to announce that they would temporarily merge with the team over there, and the food for all members would be provided by Yuyu Sect disciples from now on.
Everyone in Yuyu Sect had a look of shock on their faces, but no one raised any objection. After all, Elder Yuan is much higher than them. They have no choice but to obey Elder Yuan's decision. If they talk too much, they will be wiped out in the barren mountains and there will be no one to cry to.
This group of more than 30 people was stationed 180 miles away in the forest. They did not move a step for two days, but more and more cultivators came in from the outside. Many of the people who came later did not know that there was a place in the forest. When they saw the empty caves left by various spiritual beasts, they thought that these spiritual beasts had been hunted by the people in front of them, and regretted that they went out too late. They all mustered up their energy and rushed deeper into the forest. .
Of course, there are also some latecomers who have learned some information after asking around, but they are hesitant to believe it, but they have no intention of stopping there. Who knows what the purpose of the person who told them the news is? And even if they want to camp and garrison, they can't garrison with more than thirty people.
So almost all the latecomers chose to move on, and these thirty people were basically at the outermost.
Chen Xuan was very satisfied with this. He hoped that all the disciples of the Shenxin Sect would retreat to the outside of the forest to garrison, but now they are on the outermost edge of everyone, and they have basically achieved their original goal.
On the night of the seventh day, it started to rain lightly, and the forest soon became blurry, making it difficult to tell the difference between east, west, north and south. More than thirty people lit seven or eight bonfires, and everyone grilled food and chatted. There was no intention of guarding against danger.
Because there are too many cultivators who have entered the depths of the forest, if something big happens inside, someone will definitely run away crazily, so everyone's vigilance has been relaxed a lot in the past few days.
Chen Xuan is using this wonderful time to hone his mental strength. He already feels that after these ten days of practice, his mind has become much more stable.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Chen Xuan suddenly felt a palpitation in his heart, which made all his stubborn thoughts disappear. Chen Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and glanced around desperately, but the surroundings were pitch black and there was no sound at all.
What's going on here? I have never felt like this before, as if something big is about to happen, and the feeling of danger is as terrifying as when a disaster strikes.
"Senior Brother Qi, call people to strengthen the defense. With the weather today, I feel that a big danger is about to happen." Chen Xuan and Senior Brother Qi are now inseparable. When it rains, Chen Xuan hides in the tent set up by Senior Brother Qi. He Notified Senior Brother Qi immediately.
"What danger? Why didn't I feel it? With so many people in the forest, they should have warned us. Don't overthink it." Senior Brother Qi said with a smile.
"I don't know how the danger will happen. I just have a strong premonition. This premonition just now broke away all my stubborn thoughts. It will definitely not be for no reason." Chen Xuan said solemnly.
When Senior Brother Qi heard this, he felt a little vigilant in his heart. The premonition unexpectedly impacted his mind. Senior Brother Qi had also cultivated his seven levels of spiritual power step by step. He certainly knew how much impact it would take to break the stubborn thoughts. This proved that Chen Xuan had just encountered a strong warning of premonition.
Warriors all have this talent. They may sense danger lurking before encountering it. Senior Brother Qi immediately ordered the disciples of the Shenxin Sect to be more vigilant, pack up important items, and be ready to evacuate at any time.
The preparations for the disciples of the Shenxin Sect had just been completed, and before Senior Brother Qi had time to inform those in the Yuyu Sect, everyone heard what seemed to be thousands of horses quivering in both directions outside the forest, causing the trees in the forest to tremble.
The beast tide is coming, and it is attacking from both sides of the periphery. It seems that these beasts want to catch all the humans who enter the Black Wind Forest, but I don't know how they get behind so many searchers.
"Quick, there's danger, break out of the forest." Elder Gong shouted.
Senior Brother Qi pulled Chen Xuan and rushed towards the silent place outside the forest. The others also chose that direction without exception.
The group of people rushed out less than a hundred meters away, and the area where there was no sound no longer existed. There were rumbling sounds everywhere around the entire forest.
"Continue to charge forward, don't retreat. The siege of the beast tribe has just been formed, and it is the time when it is weak." Elder Gong issued the order. Elder Yuan also issued the same order, but many of the low-level disciples of Yuyu Sect turned around and fled.
It cannot be said that these disciples are greedy for life and afraid of death, but in this situation, everyone only thinks about the things in front of them. There is obviously a safe place, so how can people rush to dangerous places? At this time, charging into dangerous places, most of the people who can survive are high-level disciples, and those in their mortal realm can only be regarded as cannon fodder.
The noise outside the forest became louder and louder, but on the contrary, there was silence inside the forest. Elder Gong and Elder Yuan both had very ugly faces. Encountering such a situation, Senior Brother Qi also froze, and Chen Xuan was pulled to stagger by him.
"Elder Gong, there are too many orcs outside, and the low-level disciples have no chance of survival. Let me lead the disciples in the mortal realm to break out into the forest!" Senior Brother Qi shouted to Elder Gong.
Elder Gong glared at him but said nothing. It seemed that he was starting to think about what to do.
"That's fine. They are really of no use here. We can only let them escape if they can." Elder Gong made a decision.
Chen Xuancai's cultivation level at the fifth level of the mortal realm was not much better than that of an ordinary person. He did not think that there was a chance of survival if he rushed into the beast tide. So he had long thought of breaking out into the forest, but he was always being pulled by Senior Brother Qi and had no right to act independently.
But compared to many disciples in the mortal realm, Chen Xuan is undoubtedly a very calm one. At least he can still think about problems now. What he is thinking now is, is it really useful to break out into the forest? The purpose of the orcs is obvious, which is to force all the humans who enter the Black Wind Forest into the forest. In this operation, the most dangerous places are the breach and the interior of the forest.
