Chapter 3056: Isn't that being manipulated?

Sensing numerous divine senses sweeping over, several demon race members realized that the human race had finally taken notice of this place.

After waiting a long time, they finally awaited this moment; next, they would force these humans to reveal themselves.

On the other side, aboard the Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel, Qi Xiong, Hong Zun, Ye Zhangqing and the others all had grim expressions.

Although these primordial human race members actually had little relation to everyone present, and the two sides didn't even know each other.

But seeing these beasts so cruelly abusing their own kind still stirred an uncontrollable anger in everyone's hearts.

These beasts are practically begging for death.

If they dare today to treat the primordial human race this way, who's to say they won't dare to do the same to them in the future?

Thus, with hardly any hesitation, Qi Xiong spoke first.

"We must save them."

Even if they're not our allies, having seen them, we still ought to rescue them.

To this, others had no objection; they simply thought that saving people still required devising a plan first.

Those primordial demon race members must have made preparations; they wouldn't let you easily rescue the people.

Forcibly charging in is out of the question, after all, we didn't bring many people this time.

Even with the five elders of the Barbarian God Tribe, a head‑on clash still offers no chance of victory.

Moreover, those primordial demon race members would probably be delighted to see this scene.

Letting people lose reason in anger, such a foolish act is certainly out of the question.

"Use tree spirits to save people?"

Hong Zun proposed.

Earlier we used branches of the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts to gather plenty of ingredients; using this method to rescue people this time could indeed be tried.

But after thinking it over, Qi Xiong shook his head.

"We can give it a try, but the other side surely has precautions as well, so success isn't guaranteed."

We've already suffered losses from this before; even if we were foolish, we couldn't lack any vigilance—we must be guarding against this tactic.

"Why not negotiate? See what those ingredients require."

Qin Shan Hai spoke up.

As soon as his words fell, everyone rolled their eyes—negotiating with a bunch of ingredients? You must have water in your brain.

Never mind how these beasts might open their mouths wide like lions later; wouldn't that mean we'd be completely at their mercy?

By then, seeing that hostages work, those beasts will likely try to extort you to death.

At that point, we would be utterly passive; whatever they say goes.

After suggesting several plans in a row that were useless, trying to rescue people really is troublesome.

Just then, Xu Jie spoke up.

"Such a simple matter—why must we overcomplicate it?"

Huh???

"You brat, do you have an idea?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze instantly fell on Xu Jie; they didn't shout angrily at his words but instead looked expectant.

After all, this brat Xu Jie is famous for his many wicked ideas; he might actually have a solution.

So, hearing Xu Jie speak, everyone couldn't help but show an expectant look.

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Jie spoke neither hastily nor slowly.

"They use hostages to threaten us, so we should also try to capture some prisoners; when everyone has someone in hand, then we have something to negotiate."

Likewise, trying to bring over a batch of prisoners, but given the current situation, capturing prisoners from the beast horde is no easy task.

Using the method of the Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts, just as everyone had worried earlier, those primordial demon race members surely have precautions.

Although compared to rescuing people, the success rate might be higher, after all those demon race members might not think that our target is not the hostages but them.

But this is only at the moment of attack; once we act and the demon race reacts, it's also hard to succeed again.

Furthermore, the identity of the prisoners matters; bringing back a few ordinary demon race members would be meaningless, as the other side wouldn't care to rescue them, rendering it useless.

After all, the thinking of demon race members differs from that of humans.

Hearing everyone's concerns, Xu Jie smiled.

"Who said we must use Black Mist Forest Tree Ghosts? We have talismans on us; give a few seniors the talismans to silently sneak in, capture the beast race's second‑generation members, and if we can snatch an elder's offspring, wouldn't that be foolproof?"

Human talismans can greatly conceal one's aura.

As for the target, there's no need to clash head‑on with those demon race powerhouses; just focus on those second‑generation members.

These second‑generation members won't be too strong, given their age, and besides, their status is quite noble.

They're easy to capture and highly valuable—isn't that the ideal target?

With the status of the five Barbarian God Tribe elders, as long as there's an opportunity, taking down these second‑generation members is merely a blink of an eye.

As long as we control a few second‑generation members, the rest will be easy to handle.

Hearing Xu Jie's words, everyone's eyes lit up; this plan seems feasible.

However, we still need the help of the five Barbarian God Tribe elders, and there is indeed danger involved.

So, everyone could only turn their gaze to the five Barbarian God Tribe elders to seek their opinion.

Naturally, we couldn't order the five Barbarian God Tribe elders; they aren't human powerhouses, so whether they're willing depends entirely on their own will.

Faced with everyone's gaze, the five Barbarian God Tribe elders hesitated little and nodded.

"We five have no problem, but we need an opportunity; otherwise, even with your human talismans, it would be hard to approach the beast horde."

To this, Xu Jie directly replied.

"Rest assured, seniors; we will create an opportunity for you, drawing the attention of those few demon race elders."

Sure, as long as you can do it, we won't let you down.

Then it's settled.

With the plan set, everyone prepared to act, but just then a shout came from outside—a Demon Race elder's voice.

Are you humans just going to let these trash die without saving them?

His words were full of threat, yet I also somehow sense a bit of anxiety.

The hostages are in your hands; we're not in a hurry, so why are you?

This isn't just everyone's illusion; it's real—this Demon Race elder truly has a hidden anxiety.

The humans from Beyond the Heavens are indeed strange; just now that divine sense came probing, and the perceptive ones were caught by several elders.

But it soon withdrew; I thought that since they already knew about the hostages, these humans would surely take some action.

But after waiting a long time, these humans showed no reaction—no appearance, no other action. What are they doing? Don't they want to save the hostages?

Several Demon Race elders also had no confidence, after all these hostages aren't the Beyond the Heavens humans; although they can be called the same race, in reality they don't really have much feeling for each other.

If the Beyond the Heavens humans grit their teeth and harden their hearts, they might actually choose not to save them.

This isn't impossible, so that's why the Demon Race elders are anxious—I've laid all my cards out; you have to respond, or else what can we do?
