Chapter 267 A Shocking Revelation!
"First of all, they are more afraid of betrayal than we are, because they can't afford to lose."
"Secondly, the Cloud Rabbit Clan's understanding of the Qinling Mountains' underground structure is invaluable, greatly improving our efficiency and safety in exploring ancient ruins."
"Third, our cooperation with the Fox Clan and the Tree Clan is more of a trade partnership."
However, accepting the Cloud Rabbit Clan makes them true strategic allies.
This will be a benchmark, demonstrating to all non-hostile intelligent alien races in the dimensional realm who yearn for survival and development.
Our human race has the vision, the capability, and the willingness to share development opportunities with them.
This can break up alliances with potential enemies and win us more friends!
At this point, Xu Feng paused, then said, "That's all the thoughts I have."
He then sat down comfortably and breathed a sigh of relief.
His words indeed silenced many people present.
Especially those who hold opposing views.
A moment later, the group discussed what Xu Feng had said. Although there were still objections, they were not as strong anymore.
The winds have begun to shift slightly in favor of cooperation.
Not long after.
As the discussion grew more heated, a calm yet authoritative voice rang out.
"alright."
Previously, Li Yuanying had been listening in silence.
He finally spoke, his voice not loud, but it instantly drowned out all the other discussions.
With just two words, the entire conference room fell silent instantly.
All eyes were drawn to the image representing the highest level of military power and authority in the area.
"Gentlemen, debate is welcome, but it should be limited to this."
Li Yuanying's eyes were sharp as he slowly scanned each split screen, as if he could see through the screen to see everyone.
"First of all, let's make one thing clear: the survival and development of Great Xia lies in constantly becoming stronger and seizing every possible opportunity."
Being complacent and suspicious is not the way of the strong.
Opportunities are fleeting and leave no room for hesitation or indecision.
"Secondly, the matter of the Cloud Rabbit Clan is not simply a matter of 'taking them in'."
This is a strategic cooperation opportunity that Hsu Feng secured for our tribe through his personal abilities and reputation.
This means that we have the opportunity to bring a force or the ancient secrets of a region into our nation's control and development system in a relatively peaceful way.
This is less costly and has greater potential than simple military conquest.
He paused, then emphasized, "As for the issue of trust, that's the responsibility of the person in charge."
Since Xu Feng was able to persuade the entire Cloud Rabbit Clan to join him, he should be fully responsible for and bear the burden of subsequent cooperation, coordination, and supervision with the Cloud Rabbit Clan.
All bases in Area B must unconditionally provide necessary military support and resource coordination, and no one may obstruct this.
Finally, he made the final decision.
"Therefore, as instructed by the Commander-in-Chief:"
"First, formally accept the Cloud Rabbit Clan as an ally of our human race, and provide them with protection on the premise that they abide by the agreement and do not harm our race's interests."
"Second, establish the 'Qinling Ancient Relics Joint Development Project,' with Xu Feng as the overall person in charge, to handle all cooperation matters with the Cloud Rabbit Clan, and to lead the exploration of the 'Blood Slaughter Treasure Vault' and other relics."
"Third, each base in Zone B should dispatch top-tier experts to assist Xu Feng based on project needs, ensuring the safe progress of the project."
They are also responsible for dealing with potential interference from external forces such as the Tiger Clan and the Zhu'er Clan.
This includes, but is not limited to, intelligence sharing, assistance from top-tier experts, and the allocation of certain resources.
This matter has been listed as one of the highest priority strategic tasks in Area B!
Li Yuanying looked at everyone: "Gentlemen, does anyone have any objections?"
The screen was silent.
Li Yuanying directly represented the Commander-in-Chief himself.
Who could possibly object now?
"No objections!"
"I agree with General Li's decision!"
"Area B will fully cooperate with War God Xu Feng!"
General Zhao and others who had previously expressed their opposition had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The master's wife smiled faintly: "In that case, the resolution is passed, and the relevant orders shall be issued immediately. The meeting is adjourned."
"Finish."
"goodbye."
"receive."
The video links were disconnected one by one.
The outcome is decided!
Finally, a relieved smile appeared on Master's wife Di Ruyan's face.
Xu Feng took a deep breath, feeling the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
It's stressful.
Xu Nian grinned and looked at Li Yuanying: "Hehe, Master really favors his own people. Won't people gossip about him behind his back?"
Li Yuanying smiled.
Di Ruyan slapped him on the back: "Nonsense, this is the commander-in-chief's decision. Your grandmaster is just a tool."
Xu Nian turned to look at Xu Feng, her face teasing, "Feeling the pressure?"
Xu Feng nodded and said with a wry smile, "I'm up."
But he immediately smiled and said, "Well, we've got the motivation now. So, Senior Brother Xu, how about we get involved and get a piece of the pie?"
Xu Nian laughed heartily and put her arm around Xu Feng's neck: "Family is the best! We have to share a drink!"
at the same time.
Within the Cloud Rabbit Clan.
Under the strict organization of elders such as Yun Song and Yun Feng, the entire clan of over a thousand people are orderly packing up their belongings accumulated over hundreds of years.
Although it was publicly stated that it was in preparation for a large-scale excavation.
But the sadness of parting and the uncertainty about the future that permeated the air were still hard to conceal.
Clearly, some core members of the clan already know the truth.
The Cloud Rabbit clan has already made its choice.
In Cloud Rabbit Valley.
Xu Feng stood with his hands behind his back, next to Yun Song.
Seeing the Cloud Rabbit Clan members hurrying along in the valley, he nodded slightly: "Humans will not betray your trust."
Yun Song smiled slightly: "I'm getting old after all. It's better for the younger members of the clan to make the decision."
As he spoke, he waved to the Cloud Rabbit Clan guard who Xu Feng had seen earlier, not far away.
The young man from the Cloud Rabbit Clan strode over and bowed to the two of them, saying, "Elder, Spirit Communicator."
Xu Feng returned the greeting with clasped hands.
Yun Song patted the young man from the Cloud Rabbit on the shoulder: "Yun Zhongfei, the most promising child of our clan's younger generation to reach the Star God Realm."
Yun Song turned to look at Xu Feng: "He is also my grandson."
Then he looked at Yun Zhongfei: "Fei'er, from now on, you will follow the Spirit Communicator and be his right-hand man, how about it?"
Yun Zhongfei was slightly taken aback, then looked at Xu Feng and bowed deeply: "Your son is willing!"
Xu Feng was also taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yun Song.
Seeing the expectant expression on his face, he immediately took a deep breath, stepped forward and helped Yun Zhongfei up: "Alright, from today onwards, you will stay by my side."
I will treat you the same way I treat my fox and tree brothers, and I will also find you a position among the humans.
Yun Zhongfei clasped his hands in a salute and stood behind Xu Feng.
Xu Feng then turned to Yun Song and said in a deep voice, "Brother, do you know how long it will be before that treasure vault reopens?"
"According to the star chart, it will happen in three years!"
Yun Song did not hide anything and gave the exact time.
Three years!
Xu Feng was certain that he still had plenty of time.
Soon, Xu Feng's tactical watch trembled slightly.
A message came from the sky: the human rescue team had arrived.
Xu Feng gestured to Yun Song before whispering, "Please wait a moment."
"Received." A voice came from the communicator.
Soon, the Cloud Rabbit Clan was ready.
"Elder, the team is assembled and we are ready to depart."
A core member of the Cloud Rabbit Clan strode over.
Yun Song took a deep breath, glanced back at the valley where his family had lived for generations, and shouted, "Let's go!"
The entire Cloud Rabbit Clan immediately began to move.
Xu Feng turned to look at Yun Zhongfei and smiled, "How about you come with me to meet up with the human team?"
Yun Zhongfei nodded slightly: "Okay."
Xu Feng handed him a translator: "You can use this to communicate."
Then, Yun Zhongfei gave a brief introduction to how to use it.
Yun Zhongfei quickly mastered the translator and exclaimed in surprise, "Even if the psychic doesn't use his spiritual senses, I can understand what you're saying."
Xu Feng smiled and said, "These kinds of gadgets are still quite useful for humans. Let's go."
soon.
The two of them overtook the group and arrived in the forest two kilometers away.
Four high-ranking war gods were standing there waiting for him.
Behind them followed eight beginner and intermediate-level War Gods and twenty advanced-level War Generals.
The entire escort team was extremely powerful.
Yun Zhongfei was greatly shocked after just one glance.
According to Xu Feng, this is only a small group of human experts in this region.
"Brother Cheng, Sister Jing, Brother Wang, Brother Zhou, thank you all for your help."
Xu Feng clasped his hands in greeting to the crowd.
"Haha, Brother Xu, you're too kind! Escorting our allies is our duty!"
Cheng Wei, a high-ranking war god at Base B4, smiled and clasped his hands in greeting.
"I'd like to see which fool dares to block my way!"
Zhou Yi, a high-ranking war god, spoke with a booming voice, brimming with fighting spirit.
The only female war goddess, "Jing Ying," nodded slightly, her voice clear and cold: "Rest assured, with us here, we will ensure the Cloud Rabbit Clan arrives safely."
Wang Zheng glanced around and whispered to Xu Feng, "In addition, the ultimate war god, Brother Frost, is secretly waiting for orders."
"If the Tiger and Zhu clans send out their ultimate lords, we have a response."
Xu Feng nodded slightly: "It would be almost impossible to completely conceal such a large-scale migration from the Tiger Clan and the Zhu'er Clan, who are constantly monitoring the Cloud Rabbit Clan."
Therefore, everyone should be on high alert and ready to fight at any time. We will provide escort from all sides, but remember to keep a safe distance from the Cloud Rabbit Clan.
Xu Feng then introduced, "This is Yun Zhongfei, a representative of the younger generation of the Cloud Rabbit Clan, and also my friend."
Yun Zhongfei was only a newly appointed lord, so he quickly clasped his hands in a respectful bow to the many human experts, saying, "Thank you all for your help!"
Everyone returned the greeting with clasped hands, which relieved Yun Zhongfei.
"Okay, let's go!"
Xu Feng waved his hand, and the crowd immediately dispersed.
As time passed, the Cloud Rabbit clan soon left the valley where they had lived for generations and entered the dense forest.
Just as the migrating team reached a relatively open foothill area halfway through their journey...
A sudden change has occurred!
"roar--!"
A tiger's roar that shook the mountains and forests came from afar, filled with fury and oppressive power!
Followed by.
A clear and sharp cry came from the sky, and several huge shadows were cast down, like a fiery cloud that blotted out the sun.
The scouts from the Tiger Clan and the Zhu'er Clan eventually noticed the unusual movements of the Cloud Rabbit Clan.
They could not stand idly by and watch the Cloud Rabbit Clan, who held the key clues to the treasure vault, slip out of their control, and have already arrived!
"Yun Song! How dare you! You actually betray your ancestral land and try to flee with your entire clan?!"
Accompanied by a roar.
A massive, ferocious, striped tiger, leading dozens of tiger warriors, blocked their path, its roar like thunder.
Almost simultaneously, a sharp shriek came from the sky.
A Zhu'er, its feathers as if forged from platinum, with a wingspan exceeding ten meters, stood before the Zhu'er clan leader and coldly shouted, "Yun Song! Where are you taking the entire clan? Do you intend to defy ancestral teachings and reveal secrets?"
Wow!
Chaos suddenly broke out in the mountains.
A fierce tiger lies ahead, and a ferocious bird lurks behind!
The Cloud Rabbit tribe was immediately thrown into turmoil. Faced with the combined threat of the two tribes, the Cloud Rabbit tribe was thrown into panic, and many of the elderly, weak, women and children trembled with fear.
"The Lord of Xuantan Mountain!"
"The Shadow of Platinum!"
Yun Song's face turned pale, and he was about to step forward to negotiate.
However, before Zhu Yi could finish speaking, four terrifying auras, as bright as the sun, suddenly erupted from the surrounding mountains and forests!
The four high-ranking human war gods took a step forward, and an invisible pressure swept out like a tsunami.
In an instant, the momentum of the Tiger Clan and the Zhu'er Clan was suppressed!
"A war god of the human race?!"
The leader of the tiger clan, "Xuan Tan Shan Jun," suddenly narrowed his eyes, revealing a gloomy expression.
The "Platinum Shadow" Zhu'er in the sky also let out an angry cry: "Humans!"
"roll!"
Zhou Yi, with his fiery temper, threw a punch.
The condensed qi and blood fist energy was like a mountain collapsing, leveling a forest in front of them from a distance.
The tiger warriors were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.
Wang Zheng didn't speak, but simply raised his hand and a sharp sword aura shot straight into the sky.
A large patch of feathers was shaved off the edge of a red pheasant as a warning.
Jing Ying looked at the other party calmly, but the killing intent hidden beneath that calmness made both clan leaders feel a chill in their hearts.
Subsequently, the Warrior Guard and the War God Squad all emerged from the mountains.
The white-gold Zhu'er in the sky had a glint in its eyes, clearly not expecting the human race to mobilize so many war gods with such a tough attitude.
It shrieked, "Humans! Do you know what this means?"
Is it worth offending both the Tiger Clan and the Zhu'er Clan for the sake of the Cloud Rabbit Clan?
Jing Ying's cold voice rang out, carrying an unquestionable tone: "Whether it's worth it or not is not for you to judge."
If the road is not cleared within three breaths, it will be considered a declaration of war.
Two thin, cicada-wing-like short blades silently appeared in her hands, and the surrounding light seemed to distort accordingly.
The Cloud Rabbit clan, with its four lord-level members and three elders simultaneously unleashing their power, stood alongside the human war god.
While many Cloud Rabbit Clan members were still confused and bewildered, the standoff had already turned into a conflict!
"Why waste words with them! Let's fight first!"
Just then, Zhou Yi received Xu Feng's order, suddenly shouted, and launched his attack!
The alien races will never easily give up the Bloodbath Treasury, so it's better to strike first!
Zhou Yi's roar was like lighting a fuse!
The human war god and the cloud rabbit clan powerhouse, who could no longer contain themselves, surged towards the tiger clan and the Zhu'er clan who were blocking their way, like a floodgate opened!
"kill!"
Cheng Wei swung his fists, his blood and qi surging like dragons, directly targeting the tiger clan's "Xuan Tan Mountain Lord," whose aura was the strongest. Wherever his fist passed, rocks crumbled!
"court death!"
The tiger clan mountain lord was furious. As a high-ranking lord, how could it have ever been provoked like this?
The giant claw rose and slammed down with the force to tear apart mountains!
Boom!
The fist energy and the claw shadows collided violently, unleashing a deafening roar.
The violent energy shockwave destroyed all the trees within a hundred meters, and cracked the ground!
"Retreat!" Yun Zhongfei shouted, and the Cloud Rabbit Clan members, carrying the old and the young, retreated hastily away.
Almost the instant Zhou Yi made his move.
Wang Zheng's battle blade trembled, and an incomparably sharp blade aura, like an inverted Milky Way, slashed straight at the white-gold Zhu'er Lord in the sky!
Before the blade's aura even arrived, its piercing sharpness had already made Lord Zhu's feathers stand on end, and he let out a sharp screech.
With a flap of its wings, it unleashed a shower of feathers as sharp as metal blades to meet the attack!
boom!
With a blood-stained blade on his back, Zhou Yi charged towards the Tiger Clan's camp like a heavy chariot.
As he swung his broadsword, a series of explosive sounds filled the air.
In an instant, the two tiger-like beastmen who were trying to pounce on him were blasted, their bones broken and their tendons snapped, sending them flying backward.
Jing Ying transformed into a dancer in the darkness, her figure flickering erratically.
With each flash of the shadowy short blade in his hand, he precisely slashed at the Zhu'er swooping down from the sky, forcing them to hastily rise and throwing their formation into chaos.
At the same time, the Cloud Rabbit Clan team also went all out, raining down arrows that accurately shot at the Zhu'er in the sky, relieving the pressure on the ground team.
In an instant, roars, the clash of weapons, the explosions of energy, and screams echoed throughout the entire foothills.
The battle instantly intensified!
however.
The Zhu'er tribe in the sky ultimately held air superiority.
They were extremely cunning, seeing that the high-ranking human war god was being held back by their own lord.
The remaining nearly twenty Zhu'er clan beast general-level powerhouses circled in the air.
Seizing the momentary opening during the human battle formation shift, they swooped down like more than twenty arrows released from a bow, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound.
They attacked from the side and rear of the general who was engaged in battle with several tiger-like beast generals!
"Watch out from the sky!"
A human warrior shouted a reminder.
A human race novice war god was careless and was cut by several feather blades, bleeding profusely.
Although Jing Ying was strong, she was tightly entangled by Lord Zhu Ai and was unable to spare any attention for the time being.
Cheng Wei, Wang Zheng, and others were also tied down by their respective opponents, making it difficult for them to effectively deal with the threats from the air.
At this critical moment!
A chilling voice, seemingly emanating from the depths of hell, echoed from a seemingly empty shadow at the edge of the battlefield:
"We've been waiting for you!"
Om-!
next moment.
A vast and boundless spiritual force erupted suddenly, like an invisible tsunami!
Immediately afterwards, a piercing shriek tore through the air!
Swish swish swish swish—!
More than twenty silver streaks of light shot out instantly, like a school of dead fish born from nothingness!
They are incredibly fast and their trajectories are unpredictable and erratic.
As if they were alive, they drew dazzling arcs in the air, forming an impenetrable net of death!
Swish swish!
"What?!"
"not good!"
The twenty-odd Zhu'er clan beast generals had no time to make any effective response.
A flash of silver light appeared before my eyes, and a sharp, incomparably powerful, and terrifyingly penetrating aura was upon me!
Puff puff puff puff—!
The sound of sharp blades cutting into flesh was so frequent it made your teeth ache!
In the sky, it seemed as if more than twenty tragically beautiful blood-red fireworks bloomed in an instant!
Feathers mixed with blood and flesh flew everywhere!
"Hey!!"
Those Zhu'er clan beast generals didn't even have time to utter a complete scream before being instantly pierced through vital organs and had their wings torn apart by the frenzied slaughter of the silver "fish".
The massive body plummeted from the sky like dumplings being dropped into a pot, crashing to the ground with a dull thud.
One strike!
Just one strike!
More than twenty Zhu'er clan beast generals were completely wiped out!
This sudden and terrifying attack silenced the entire battlefield!
Whether it was the Tiger Clan, the Zhu'er Clan, or the human and cloud rabbit warriors fighting below, they were all stunned by this bloody scene!
"Psychic! Human psychic!!"
The Tiger Clan's Xuan Tan Mountain Lord was both shocked and furious.
It then discovered that the most dangerous human had been hiding in the shadows all along!
"Damn it! Kill him!"
The white-gold Zhu'er Lord in the sky witnessed the instantaneous death and injury of his people and let out a shrill scream of grief and indignation.
It abandoned Jingying and summoned the other two Zhu'er clan lords to flap their wings together, transforming into three streaks of platinum lightning that roared toward Xu Feng.
"Well done!"
Xu Feng laughed loudly, no longer hiding, and stepped out of the shadows!
He was covered in a black patterned suit, and a black gold battle sword was clearly in his hand.
Faced with the furious attack of three lord-level Zhu'er, he did not back down at all!
A thought suddenly occurred to him.
The swarm of flying knife fish that had slain more than twenty beast generals instantly turned around, circling him like loyal guards.
At the same time, his blood and qi surged like a river.
The sword intent of "Thousand Mountains" condensed, and a powerful aura as heavy as a mountain rose from the ground!
"cut!"
Xu Feng roared and swung his sword to meet the first white-gold Zhu'er lord who was charging at him!
The blade energy condensed, carrying the immense power of a hundred mountains stacked upon each other, and slashed out fiercely!
boom!
The blade energy clashed fiercely with Lord Zhu's claws, producing a deafening sound like metal striking metal!
Energy is overflowing wildly!
boom!!
The entire sky seemed to tremble!
Xu Feng swayed slightly, but quickly regained his balance.
The white-gold Zhu'er lord was stunned by the powerful slash, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
This human, despite only possessing the aura of a mid-level War God, why is his power so terrifying?!
However, before Xu Feng could react.
The attacks from the other two Zhu'e lords have also arrived.
Sharp wind blades and blazing light feathers attacked Xu Feng from both sides.
"Chirp!"
However, at that moment...
A streak of blue lightning suddenly flashed across space.
The two Zhu'er lords hadn't reacted yet.
Then a flash of lightning streaked across the sky.
With a "poof" sound.
One of the mid-level Zhu'er clan lords was pierced through by the azure lightning!
Ah Kun flashed by and suddenly disappeared.
It then suddenly turned back, its size increasing dramatically, transforming into a gigantic bluebird.
"Hey!!"
Its body was wreathed in blue flames, and with just a long howl, the two remaining Zhu'er lords trembled in fear.
"Azure Phoenix!"
"The divine bird, the Azure Phoenix!!"
The two Zhu'er lords exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.
Different races place the greatest emphasis on bloodline hierarchy.
The Azure Phoenix's bloodline level far surpasses that of the Zhu'er clan.
Therefore, Ah Kun's mere aura caused the Zhu'er clan leader's aura to drop by two points!
"snort!"
Seeing that Ah Kun had attracted the attention of the two Zhu'er.
Xu Feng snorted coldly, and the swarm of flying knife fish, controlled by his mental power, instantly split apart.
Like two nimble silver snakes, they charged towards the high-ranking lord.
The high-ranking lord of the Zhu'er clan, "Shadow of Platinum," was still in shock at the appearance of the Azure Phoenix.
Suddenly, he sensed a terrifying killing intent coming from behind him.
Startled, Xu Feng charged forward with his sword!
That domineering and resolute aura seemed to be able to cleave the sky in two!
