In the following days, Guo Xiaoxiao learned a lot. Last time, Mikesen and Cang Jue hadn't come, and they were safe and sound. In the Black Tooth tribe, males and females didn't live together; she was an exception. In this tribe, strength determined food distribution. They had originally decided to have a contest to decide who would choose for Guo Xiaoxiao, but since she stayed in Arthur's stone house and didn't come out, they all understood why no one dared to challenge Arthur.

These days, Arthur remained vigilant, strengthening his defenses and increasing the number of orcs on night watch.

Guo Xiaoxiao didn't believe that the two of them would abandon her, and Arthur didn't believe they would give up so easily.

Such a wonderful female, would they really be willing to give her up? Besides his unwavering will and ability to resist Guo Xiaoxiao's charm, who else could resist her allure?

In fact, Arthur didn't realize that what he was doing was the same as the steps for forming a bond, except he didn't go inside. He was too cunning, brainwashing himself into believing he was fully conscious.

…

On the other side, Miken and Cangjue had already prepared two plans. The group they sent out last time was just to scout out the enemy's duty schedule and the number of guards.

They were simply too enraged by the Arthurian Blacktooth tribe and lost their temper, resulting in their deaths. The orcs who escaped couldn't even give a proper account of what happened.

The original plan was to let them stay for three days to get a clear picture of the situation, but they returned after only one day. Miksen and Cangjue decided that it was more reliable to take matters into their own hands.

After discussing it, the two concluded that Arthur would be more vigilant and wouldn't be so easily fooled.

They decided to use these few days to figure out the terrain themselves. If Arthur was occasionally away from the tribe, they would take Guo Xiaoxiao away. If Arthur stayed in the tribe, they would devise a plan to use a feint attack.

And so, Mikson and Cangjue headed to a secluded grove near the Black Tooth Tribe, careful not to make a scene for fear that Arthur would notice.

Surprisingly, Arthur was monitoring their every move. He simply didn't care about them; he didn't believe they could take Guo Xiaoxiao away from the Black Tooth Tribe. One was a 4-star, the other a 5-star, and they were barely holding their own against him. All the orcs in his tribe were 2-star orcs with rising ranks. To think two people could take her away like that? Dream on!

After hiding for several days, Miken and Cangjue lost patience. The Black Tooth Tribe changed their defensive positions every day, as if they were deliberately guarding against them. Could they have revealed a weakness? Impossible! If they had been discovered, Arthur would have come out to capture them long ago. Why would he still be wandering around?

The system is now open…

[System: Host, your psionic communication skills are ready. Rewards are hereby conferred. Please accept.]

Finally, it arrived. Guo Xiaoxiao: A mysterious energy flow appeared in her body, slowly circulating through her meridians. After a while, the sensation disappeared.

Guo Xiaoxiao: What's the use of this?

[System: Try it yourself. You'll only get useful information if you try it yourself.]

Guo Xiaoxiao silently recited "psychic communication" in her mind, and suddenly two names appeared before her: Cang Jue and Miksen.

Could it be some kind of telepathic connection like in the TV series? Guo Xiaoxiao immediately tried it out, choosing Mickelson and mentally shouting...

"Mickelson, Mikelson!!"

Mickson was standing in the tree when he heard Guo Xiaoxiao's voice. He looked around but didn't see anyone. Perhaps he was hallucinating from thinking too much about Guo Xiaoxiao. Mickson continued to stare at the Black Tooth Tribe's territory.

"Mickson, Mikeson?? Answer me if you hear me."

Another voice came, a voice he would never forget, a voice he remembered clearly. Was it really Guo Xiaoxiao? But there was no one beside him. He didn't believe it was a hallucination. Mickson responded softly.

"Listen, I heard you, Xiaoxiao, is that you?"

Guo Xiaoxiao also received a response from Mikexon, and she was overjoyed. "This skill is awesome!" she exclaimed.

Where are you and Cang Jue?

Miksen: "Cang Jue is right here. He and I are waiting around Black Tooth for a chance to rescue you. How are you now? Did Arthur bully you?"

Seeing Mikeson talking to himself, Cang Jue thought he had gone mad and slapped Mikeson's arm.

"Hey, who are you talking to?"

Miken knew that if he explained to Cang Jue that he was currently communicating with Guo Xiaoxiao, Cang Jue definitely wouldn't believe him.

"Say a few words to Cang Jue, let him know that you can communicate in this way."

Guo Xiaoxiao exited the interface and spoke to Cang Jue again.

"Cang Jue, can you hear me? It's Xiao Xiao."

“…”

Cang Jue looked around, wondering, "Where is Xiao Xiao?" Mickson chimed in.

"Xiaoxiao has amazing abilities, and this might be one of them—to communicate with us in our minds."

What?! Cang Jue's eyes widened in disbelief. Someone could actually communicate in this way!

Guo Xiaoxiao still felt it was a bit too troublesome. He wished it could allow three people to talk at the same time, but after trying two or three times, it seemed it wouldn't work; he could only talk to one person at a time.

But he was quite satisfied. A phone was still far from sufficient; being able to speak with Mikeson and Cang Jue was a rare privilege.

Guo Xiaoxiao said, "Cang Jue, what method do you plan to use to rescue me? This place is surrounded by layers upon layers of people. How many people have you brought?"

Cang Jue replied, "Our people are in poor spirits because of the last great battle; they're easily agitated. Bringing them here would be pointless, so it was just the two of us who came."

Two people!! That's too dangerous, Guo Xiaoxiao said.

"Let's go back. I'll figure it out myself. Do you know how many of them there are? More than Yu Shanshan and Sishui combined, and they're all very strong."

Cang Jue refused, saying, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, just stay here. As long as we find you, we'll be able to rescue you."

Guo Xiaoxiao said anxiously, "No, no, you came to find me all alone. It would have been better if you hadn't come at all. Arthur is ruthless when he kills people. If he finds you, he won't let you off the hook."

Cang Jue: "It's alright, just wait for us, don't worry about anything else."

"Nothing's wrong yet, how could I not be worried?" Guo Xiaoxiao was extremely worried. She contacted Mickson.

"Mickson, take Cang Jue back. They outnumber you; you can't defeat them."

Just as Mickson was about to respond, Cang Jue stopped him, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more.

Guo Xiaoxiao was still worried about their safety.

"Listen to me, their defenses are getting tighter and tighter, you..."

"Okay, take good care of yourself, we'll rescue you."

After saying that, he cut off the contact. Guo Xiaoxiao kept calling out to Mickson in her mind, but there was no response. Damn it, how could the other party unilaterally hang up on her?

What should they do now? Arthur went out today and hasn't come back yet. Did he find out about them and go to arrest them? Thinking of this, Guo Xiaoxiao paced back and forth in the room, unable to calm down.

After hanging up, the two quietly slipped into the bushes, searching for an opening in the Blacktooth tribe's defenses based on the terrain they had observed previously. They didn't find an opening, but instead discovered a narrow cave.

The two hid in the cave. Cang Jue took out a tinderbox, preparing to light a match, when Mickson said...

"If you light a fire, the Blacktooth tribe will definitely find out."

Cang Jue thought so too.

"Then what do you suggest? Shall we crawl into a tree hole together?"

"Wait until tonight"
