The moment Xuan stepped out of the north-south barrier, he sensed the existence of the stone slab, and the sensation was even deeper than the last time he came. He could hardly control himself and walked in that direction.
"Xuan." The red fox orc Chou quickly ran to Xuan's side and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
Xuan came back to his senses, glanced at Chou, shook his head and said nothing.
The old orc who led the musk ox tribe also walked to Xuan's side. He looked at Xuan with very gentle eyes, as if he was looking at his own junior.
Xuan turned his head slightly, looked towards the north, and led his men forward.
The further north he went, the deeper the sensation became. More than once, Xuan wanted to walk towards the direction of the sensation.
Realizing that something was wrong with Xuan, the muskox orc and Chou looked at each other, and when they were resting at night, they all came to find Xuan.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Xuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then walked towards a remote place.
Seeing this, the muskox orcs and Chou immediately followed.
Holding some grass he had pulled from the roadside in his mouth, Xuan lay on a huge rock, waiting for the muskox orcs and Chou to come over.
Before the two of them could speak, Xuan pointed in a direction and asked, "Where does that lead to?"
"It's the direction to the Obsidian Tribe." The Musk Ox Orc said in a gentle voice.
Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Hearing Xuan's words, Chou frowned and said, "Over there... there have always been people from God guarding it. For so many years, we haven't been able to go back and take a look."
"Okay, I understand." Xuan still said this.
Chou couldn't see through Xuan's thoughts and wanted to say something else, but was stopped by the muskox orc, "The two of us will go back first."
After saying that, the musk ox orc pulled the silk away, leaving Xuan lying alone on the boulder.
He closed his eyes and calmed down to think about it all. As Ji and Yun Li said, the other stone slab was at the former site of the Obsidian Tribe.
But he couldn't take people there directly. Although the god didn't know that the half stone slab in his hand was fake, it was obvious that the god would not relax his attention on that place. After all, it was the former site of the Obsidian Tribe.
For people in the north, it is an abandoned old land and a restricted area. God does not allow anyone to go near it.
He didn't even want anyone to mention it. He wanted to erase all traces of the Obsidian Tribe's existence, as if that would make him feel at ease.
Xuan took a few deep breaths and looked in the direction of the Thorn Tribe. That was where he and Ji's target was. He knew it, Ji knew it, and God naturally knew it too.
There is no longer any possibility of taking shortcuts. This is a tough battle. The people he brought with him all followed him with the determination to die. From the first step they took, they never thought they could go back alive.
But Xuan was unwilling to accept this. He knew clearly that this was a trick of God. Everyone who followed him also knew that this was a trick of God, but they all followed without hesitation.
He was unwilling to lead these people into a trap.
He frowned, recalling the book Meng Yuqing had read to him, trying to find a way out of the predicament from it.
He wanted to take the people back, and he also wanted to take the stone slab back.
When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was full of determination.
The next morning, everyone was ready to set off. Xuan silently led his men to the place he had agreed with Ji, his mind still analyzing the current situation and what they could use.
God went to so much trouble to bring them here, he must want to keep them all.
Ji's target is also very clear, which is the Thorn Tribe. Everyone knows that their target is the Thorn Tribe, so God must have made complete preparations for the Thorn Tribe.
So they certainly couldn't go straight to the Thorn Tribe, as that would be tantamount to taking everyone to their death.
Even if they narrowly defeated the Thorn Tribe in the end, Yun Li would definitely not be able to escape, and those members of the Obsidian Tribe who were captured by the Thorn Tribe would definitely be killed.
So the best thing to do now is to divert their attention elsewhere.
After having a general idea in mind, Xuan raised his head, looked forward and quickened his pace.
After meeting Ji with people from the seven tribes, Xuan walked directly to Ji and motioned Ji to go out and talk with him alone.
Ji turned around and said a few words to Jing, then followed Xuan.
Xuan walked a long way before stopping. Ji followed him. The two stood there for a while before Ji spoke, his voice still as hoarse as before, "You shouldn't have come."
Xuan didn't show any expression. "Do you know the situation inside the Thorn Tribe? Especially about the members of the Cloud Oak and Obsidian Tribes?"
"Well, I know a little. There are people from Yunli in the Thorn Tribe. We received news that God has sent people to guard the Thorn Tribe and wait for us to get there." He paused, then continued with difficulty, "Yunli... told us not to go there. He will find a way to rescue as many people as possible from the Obsidian Tribe, and asked us to pick up those who can escape..."
Yun Li didn't mention himself. He didn't even consider himself among those who could escape.
Xuan was silent for a while, then said, "Take those seven tribes away with you."
"What do you mean?" Ji asked with a frown.
"You lead them to attack the Thorn Tribe." Xuan looked at Ji and slowly told him his plan, "I'm going to get the stone tablet from the old members of the Obsidian Tribe. I sensed it."
"There are people from God over there. You will be discovered, and the people who stay there will definitely recognize you. You can't go alone." Ji stopped him.
Xuan's voice was light, but his tone was surprisingly firm, "What I want is for them to find me."
Seeing Ji about to say something, Xuan interrupted him, "I won't show up right away. I'll make some noise over there to lure the people God has stationed in the Thorn Tribe over there, and maybe even lure some of them away. Then you can take the opportunity to attack the Thorn Tribe. With Yunli supporting you, you'll face much less resistance and be able to quickly subdue them. Then you can bring him out."
This is the best way, to divert their attention to other places, just like before Ji Hefu led people to destroy a subordinate tribe of the Thorn Bone Tribe, forcing the Thorn Bone Tribe to retreat for defense. The plan of the Thorn Bone Tribe and the Thorn Bone Tribe to jointly attack the northwest will have to be put on hold for a while.
This time, the plan was set up by God himself, just to lure Ji and the people hiding in the south to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Unless they went to attack God's base camp, no matter which tribe they attacked, God would not even give them a second glance, and would use the people of Yunli and Obsidian tribes to lure Xuan and Ji and the others.
The hostages were also in the hands of the other side. They really went directly to the Thorn Tribe, which had just received the God's manpower and had all its defensive forces. The stalemate in the battle was long enough for those people to find time to deal with the members of the Yunli and Obsidian tribes.
Now, apart from the people who eliminated Ji and came from the south, the thing that God cares about most is the stone slab.
