Chapter 424: Unraveling

the Mystery Although Diack was in a hurry, he was the slowest one to arrive.

This has to do with their daily habits. People like Ye Jinghong, Zhuogo and Silk all maintain the state they should have as professional soldiers.

The moment they received the order, they did not ask questions like "What's the matter?" or "Why?", and they were not even confused for a moment. They immediately threw off their blankets, changed their clothes, and rushed over.

By the time Diak arrived, everyone else had already arrived.

Diak, who had just arrived at the council hall, saw the tribesmen who were already inside.

In order to avoid the scene being too chaotic, Zhou Xu only allowed the Centaur team to choose a representative to come in and speak.

When Diak saw the other person, he hurried over to ask questions.

"Baal, why are you here? Is there something wrong with the tribe?!"

In response to Diak's question, the centaur called Baal subconsciously glanced at Zhou Xu who was sitting above.

Originally, he wanted to talk about business as soon as he saw Zhou Xu, but Zhou Xu told him that some people had not arrived yet, and it would be easier to talk after everyone was present.

He felt that what Zhou Xu said made sense, so he just waited there.

Now feeling the other person's gaze, Zhou Xu nodded.

"Everyone is here, let's talk."

Hearing this, Bal, who had been holding back until now, nodded and quickly started talking.

"It's about the Lizardmen who suddenly came to us and wanted to negotiate with us..."

As he spoke, Bal recounted everything that had happened over there.

After listening to this, Ye Jinghong frowned obviously. He did not expect that the Lizardmen would actually propose something like "peace talks".

But on second thought, it didn't seem that surprising.

After all, they already knew that in the other world, the Lizardmen and the Ratmen were fighting fiercely.

Under this premise, if they join forces with the Centaurs, the Lizardmen will be caught in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Of course, this option also involves huge risks for them.

On the one hand, they will definitely be counterattacked by the lizardmen, and they will also suffer considerable casualties. On the other hand, after dealing with the lizardmen, they will most likely have to face the group of ratmen! This is also a big trouble that cannot be ignored! Thinking about this problem, Ye Jinghong fell into a brief contemplation.

During this period, Zhou Xu's focus did not seem to be on this matter, but on something that Bal mentioned during the entire description. "You just said that the high priest of the lizardmen opened the energy channel and asked you to come over?"

"Yes."

Barr nodded vigorously.

Although they have been neighbors with the Lizardmen for many years, due to the long-term non-interference of the two sides, they are not very clear about some of the Lizardmen's methods.

After receiving a positive answer from Bal, Zhou Xu nodded slightly.

As early as the beginning of last winter, when the large army of Lizardmen suddenly disappeared out of thin air, he was wondering whether the Lizardmen had some means of teleportation.

Now it seems that although it is not very accurate, this method is actually pretty good.

"What did the lizardman's high priest do at that time? Please describe it in detail, not leaving out any action."

Leaning on Qiansui's body, Zhou Xu's voice was calm, but it carried an inexplicable persuasiveness that made Bal below involuntarily describe what he meant.

Zhou Xu listened carefully throughout the whole process and extracted useful information from it.

[This method should not only be used by the high priest, otherwise, if the high priest had not come before, how did the large group of lizardmen leave? ]

[That is to say, including the high priest, there are at least two or more lizardmen who have mastered the same method.]

[If this speculation is true, then why would the high priest, who holds a high position in the tribe, come in person to do this? Wouldn't it be better to send one of his men? ]

[Did those subordinates lose this ability? Or did the high priest think they couldn't do it? ]

[If it is the latter, then it means that there is still the influence of ability level. ]

[At the same time, in Bal's words just now, it seems that he mentioned that after the high priest arrived at the scene, he did not take action directly, but searched for a while. Does this mean that this energy channel cannot be opened anywhere? Does it have location requirements? ]

Zhou Xu continued to further analyze and organize the extracted clues in his mind, and constantly connected all kinds of intelligence information together.

[Could it be that the opponent's ability is not to open the energy channel at all? At least it is not such a direct method! ]

The flash of this thought immediately opened up new ideas for Zhou Xu.

[You need to find a place, and it seems to be affected by your ability...]

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

At this moment, Zhou Xu vaguely felt that he was extremely close to the truth of the other party's ability.

[I understand! It's acceleration! The means used by the other party are most likely not to build an energy channel by their own ability, but to accelerate the formation of the energy channel between the two world fragments under the premise that the energy channel has already been built! ]

[Under this premise, the consumption of accelerating the formation of an energy channel that has been built for ten days is definitely different from accelerating the formation of an energy channel that has only been built for two days.]

[This energy channel was constructed not long ago and is still far from being formed. Ordinary lizardmen do not have such strong power, so the high priest needs to take action! ]

【This way, everything makes sense! 】

At this moment, the whole line suddenly became clear, making Zhou Xu feel as if everything was suddenly enlightened.

At the same time, the pressure in my heart was slightly relieved.

If the Lizardmen could open energy channels and attack at any time and anywhere, the pressure on them would be too great.

And now, he can at least use this ability to grasp certain patterns and know that the threshold for opening the energy channel is much higher than he expected.

Then he wouldn't have to worry about the lizardmen on the opposite side attacking him at any time and anywhere like before.

For example, now, the energy channel has just been opened twice in a short period of time. The first time should have been opened naturally, and the second time was accelerated by the interference of the high priest's power.

Combined with his previous ideas, in the next half month, they basically don't need to worry too much about the threat from the Lizardmen, and can relax their tense nerves a little.

At the same time, adjustments can also be made to individual work.

For example, Wang Dong’s enchantment work…

After temporarily finishing the work at the paper mill, Wang Dong has now returned to the grassland village to carry out his enchantment work.

Because of the special nature of enchanted weapons, he has to continue the enchanting work.

But now it’s different. They can find a routine and take a short vacation in the middle, and Wang Dong can also use this opportunity to do other things.
