Chapter 285

Speaking of the bandit forest, Xu Jie's eyes darted around; seeing that look, Ye Zhangqing knew he was up to no good.

Sure enough, the next moment Xu Jie turned his head and said to everyone.

I feel this method's efficiency is still too low right now.

What should we do then?

We need to think of a way to fool those bandit forest people into willingly becoming bait.

What do you mean?

Not bad, let them attract the demonic beasts, then we just wait to capture them.

Will this plan work?

Don't worry, just watch me tomorrow.

After a few people muttered and discussed, Ye Zhangqing listened with his mouth twitching.

Listen to what you're saying, making people be bait and still willing? Are you really not planning to act like a human?

After dinner, everyone returned to their lodgings; those who practiced Xiūliàn practiced Xiūliàn, and those who had things to do did them.

Ye Zhangqing also practiced Xiūliàn for half a Shíchén, then went to sleep soundly.

The night passed in silence; the next morning after breakfast, Xu Jie summoned everyone to head straight to the bandit forest people's gathering place.

Meanwhile, in the dark, Wang Wu and Song Yi each brought a mask and also furtively followed.

Just as yesterday, the bandit forest people had already gathered together at this time.

Seeing Xu Jie and company appear, many people enthusiastically went up to greet them.

Brother Xu, you've come.

Haha, we've been waiting for you.

Unlike yesterday's obscurity, today everyone obviously holds a high position in the hearts of these bandit forest heroes, after all they saved so many people.

Facing the crowd's enthusiasm, Xu Jie also smiled and returned greetings one by one; even the three leaders of the bandit forest heroes had everyone brought to the front to sit with them at the same table.

The leaders of this bandit forest hero group are two men and one woman, their looks are the kind that wouldn't attract notice in a crowd—very ordinary.

But this actually suits the bandit forest well; if one stood out too much, it wouldn't be good, like Ye Zhangqing.

Brother Xu, please say a few words for everyone.

One of the men laughed and said to Xu Jie; hearing that, Xu Jie didn't stand on ceremony, got up, stood on the table, and began his performance.

Brothers, do you think yesterday's haul was big?

Big.

Yesterday everyone's haul was not small, each was excited for a long time, but Xu Jie shook his head about that.

But I feel it's not enough, still far from enough.

Hearing this, the bandit forest heroes looked doubtful at Xu Jie—Is this not enough?

You must know that yesterday their haul was already extremely abundant; normally where could one get such a haul?

Facing the crowd's doubtful gaze, Xu Jie spoke unhurriedly.

In the past, these hauls were indeed not few, but what time is it now? It's the time for our bandit forest to rise.

Our bandit forest has had bandit sages before and bandit gods after, talents abound; now that we're rising, could such a tiny haul possibly be enough?

If we want our bandit forest to truly rise, our vision can't be so short-sighted; I believe we can still do better.

After that speech, the crowd's blood boiled, each shouting loudly.

Brother Xu is right.

Brother Xu is talented.

Brother Xu, just tell us what to do, we'll follow you.

Facing the crowd's admiration, Xu Jie showed a faint smile and shouted loudly.

Before, our bandit forest was looked down upon by everyone, the reason being that we acted too timidly.

Now, if we want to rise, we must do big deeds, great deeds that make the whole Huling tremble with fear.

Not only must we steal their treasuries, but we cannot let these demonic beasts go either.

Today everyone's action must not be like yesterday, each fighting on their own, but must have a plan........

They were fooled into stupidity; under Xu Jie's speech, each and every one of these bandit forest heroes was fooled into stupidity.

Even finally, when Xu Jie said to let them act as bait to lure out the demonic beasts, these people actually had no objection.

Instead they thought this was a good plan; Xu Jie and company would set an ambush, while these bandit forest people would go lure.

Then after capturing these demonic beasts, their treasures would not be left for everyone to take freely.

Brother Xu speaks well; our bandit forest previously acted too timidly.

Not bad; this time we will definitely let Huling see our bandit forest's might.

Seeing the excited crowd, Ye Zhangqing's eyelid kept twitching.

You damn fools, have you forgotten what you are? You're bandit forest, you're thieves.

According to Xu Jie's saying, are they still thieves? That's damn bandits.

This is no longer covert theft; it's open robbery.

But right now, everyone has been fooled by Xu Jie, completely unaware of this; afterward, Xu Jie divided a type of bandit forest hero into different squads.

And Zhao Zhengping, Zhao Rou, Wanxiang, etc., were also divided according to these squads.

Afterward, as Xu Jie waved his hand grandly, everyone mighty and mighty entered Huling.

Together with Xu Jie, Wanxiang, and Lu Youyou as a team, following behind the bandit forest crowd, after entering Huling, Xu Jie gave these bandit forest people a look and whispered.

See that patch of grass? We'll ambush here; you're responsible for luring the demonic beasts over.

Brother Xu, rest assured, leave it to us; I dare not say anything else, but as for movement skills, our bandit forest people are absolutely top-notch.

Alright, then I'll quietly await your good news.

Brother Xu, just wait for our good news.

Afterwards, a group of bandit-forest people quickly left, while Xu Jie and his companions went to the grass thicket and crouched down.

During this quiet wait for the demon beasts to arrive, Ye Zhangqing spoke softly.

Senior Brother, after you've done this to the bandit forest, doesn't it seem a bit off?

Huh? Junior Brother, what do you mean by that?

Look, the actions of these bandit-forest heroes now are no longer like petty thieves; they're more like bandits.

What's the big deal? It's just changing the procedure—originally we'd steal the treasures first, now we deal with those demon beasts first; it's about the same.

This is called 'about the same'?

Hearing Xu Jie's answer, Ye Zhangqing was dumbfounded—being able to call a bunch of thieves a bunch of bandits, Xu Jie really has talent.

Just as they were speaking, suddenly the sound of running came from ahead; it must be those bandit-forest heroes arriving.

They held their breath and focused; sure enough, two bandit-forest heroes sprinted all the way, with a black wolf demon closely chasing behind them.

Humans, you're dead.

He roared angrily, while the two just kept running without looking back, merely............. damn it, why are they veering off more and more as they run?

Xu Jie and his group watched helplessly as those two turned a corner and ran toward the grass thicket on the left.

Seeing this, Wanxiang frowned slightly.

Did they run the wrong way?

They obviously ran the wrong way.

These two idiots can't even tell a grass thicket apart; we're crouched in this grass thicket, why are you luring the black wolf demon to another grass thicket?

Yet, these two were full of confidence, charging straight into the grass and shouting loudly.

Brother Xu, make your move.

Haha, wolf demon, you've been tricked—wait to die.
