Chapter 525

Speaking of the Stolen Forest, Xu Jie's eyes rolled around. Seeing him like this, Ye Changqing knew he was up to no good.

Sure enough, the next moment Xu Jie turned to the group and said.

"I think the current method is still too inefficient."

"Then what should we do?"

"We have to find a way to fool those Stolen Forest people and let them willingly become bait."

"What do you mean?"

"Exactly, let them go attract the demon beasts, and then we just wait to capture them."

"Will this method work?"

"Don't worry, just watch me tomorrow."

The group had a whispered discussion, and Ye Changqing's mouth twitched as he listened.

Listen to what you are saying—letting people be bait and making them willing? Are you really not planning to act like a human?

After dinner, everyone returned to their residences one after another, cultivating or doing whatever they needed to do.

Ye Changqing also cultivated for half an hour, then went to sleep beautifully.

The night passed without a word. The next day, after breakfast, Xu Jie called everyone and headed straight for the gathering place of the Stolen Forest people.

At the same time, in the dark, Wang Wu and Song Yi, each wearing a mask, also quietly followed.

Just like yesterday, the Stolen Forest people were already gathered together.

Seeing Xu Jie and the others appear, many welcomed them enthusiastically.

"Brother Xu, you're here."

"Haha, we were just waiting for you."

Unlike their obscurity yesterday, today the group clearly had a high position in the hearts of these Stolen Forest heroes; after all, they had saved so many people.

Facing everyone's enthusiasm, Xu Jie also smiled and greeted them one by one. Even the three leaders of the Stolen Forest heroes invited them to the very front and sat at the same table with them.

The leaders of this group of Stolen Forest heroes were two men and one woman, whose appearances were the kind that wouldn't be noticed if thrown into a crowd—very ordinary.

But this was just right for the Stolen Forest; if they were too prominent, it would be bad, like Ye Changqing.

"Brother Xu, come say a few words to everyone."

One of the men said to Xu Jie with a smile. Hearing this, Xu Jie didn't stand on ceremony, stood up, stood on the table, and began his performance.

"Fellow Brothers, do you think yesterday's harvest was big?"

"Big!"

Yesterday's harvest for everyone was not small, and everyone was excited for a long time, but regarding this, Xu Jie shook his head.

"But I think it's not enough—far from enough."

Hearing this, the Stolen Forest heroes looked at Xu Jie suspiciously. Is this still not enough?

You have to know that their harvest yesterday was already extremely rich; where could they have such a harvest on normal days?

Facing everyone's suspicious gaze, Xu Jie said unhurriedly.

"In the past, this harvest would indeed be a lot, but what time is it now? It is the time for our Stolen Forest to rise."

"Our Stolen Forest has the Stealing Saint before and the Stealing God after, with talent emerging in succession. Now that we are rising, is such a small harvest enough?"

"If we want our Stolen Forest to truly rise, our vision cannot be so short-sighted. I believe we can do even better."

After these words, everyone was stirred to boiling blood, and one after another they shouted loudly.

"Brother Xu is right!"

"Brother Xu has great talent!"

"Brother Xu, just tell us what to do; we'll listen to you."

Facing everyone's admiration, Xu Jie showed a smile and shouted loudly.

"Before, our Stolen Forest was looked down upon by everyone; the reason is that we were too timid in our actions."

"Now, if we want to rise, we must do big things—big things that make the whole Huling tremble."

"Not only must we steal their treasury, but even the demon beasts themselves cannot be let go."

"Today, everyone must act, not fighting on their own like yesterday, but having a plan..."

They were fooled. Under Xu Jie's words, these Stolen Forest heroes, one and all, were completely fooled.

Even in the end, when Xu Jie said to let them act as bait to lure the demon beasts out, these people didn't object.

Instead, they thought it was a good idea: Xu Jie and the others would ambush, while these Stolen Forest people would lure them.

Then, after taking down these demon beasts, wouldn't their treasures be theirs to take?

"Brother Xu said it well; our Stolen Forest was too timid before."

"Indeed, this time we must let Huling see the power of our Stolen Forest."

Looking at the indignant crowd, Ye Changqing's eyelids twitched.

Have you forgotten who you are, damn it? You are the Stolen Forest; you are thieves.

According to what Xu Jie said, are you still thieves? You are robbers, damn it.

This is no longer secret stealing; it's open robbery.

But right now, everyone was fooled by Xu Jie and didn't realize this at all. Afterward, Xu Jie divided the Stolen Forest heroes into different squads.

And Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Wan Xiang, and others were also separated according to these squads.

Afterward, as Xu Jie waved his hand, the group entered Huling in a grand manner.

With Xu Jie, Wan Xiang, and Lu Youyou in a squad, following behind the Stolen Forest people, after entering Huling, Xu Jie gave the Stolen Forest people a wink and whispered.

"See that grass? We'll ambush here; you are responsible for luring the demon beasts over."

"Brother Xu, don't worry; leave it to us. If nothing else, in terms of movement techniques, we Stolen Forest people are definitely top-notch."

"Good, then I will wait for your good news."

"Brother Xu, just wait for our good news."

Afterward, the group of Stolen Forest people left quickly, while Xu Jie and the others came to the grass to squat.

During the time of quietly waiting for the demon beasts to come, Ye Changqing whispered.

"Senior Brother, with you doing this to the Stolen Forest, isn't it losing its flavor?"

"Huh? Junior Brother, what do you mean?"

"Look, the actions of these Stolen Forest heroes right now don't look like petty thieves anymore; they look more like robbers."

"What of it? Isn't it just changing the process? Originally it was stealing treasures first; now it's solving those demon beasts first—it's about the same."

You call this about the same?

Hearing Xu Jie's answer, Ye Changqing was stunned. Being able to talk a group of thieves into a group of robbers—Xu Jie really has the ability.

Just as they were speaking, running sounds suddenly came from the front; it should be those Stolen Forest heroes coming.

The group held their breath and focused. Sure enough, two Stolen Forest heroes ran wildly, with a Black Wolf Demon chasing closely behind.

"Humans, you're dead!"

A loud roar, and the two ran without looking back, but... why the hell were they running further and further off course?

Xu Jie and the others watched with their own eyes as the two turned a corner and ran toward the grass on the left.

Seeing this, Wan Xiang frowned slightly.

"Did they run the wrong way?"

"This is clearly running the wrong way."
