Chapter 145 The Demonic Plan

"This time, my demon clan has meticulously planned this, sending out the Butterfly Clan, skilled in weaving dreams and illusions. Following the Demon King's supreme command, we've quietly set up a massive fog array in the depths of Yellowstone Gorge. Together, we'll lure a large number of humans here. All we need to do is set the stage and catch them in their trap!"

"Tomorrow, two more teams of demons and barbarians will arrive here. Huangshi Gorge is now under close surveillance by the demon and barbarian elites. We must race against time to complete our mission. We must memorize every inch of this area first, because once the Butterfly Clan's reinforcements arrive, it will be time to deploy our formation. As for the few humans who managed to escape today, I've sent the Gale Leopard Clan to hunt them down. Their speed and cunning are among the best among the demons, and I believe they'll be able to recapture those who slipped through the net one by one in no time."

"Everyone, I must emphasize once again that you must remember the weight of our mission. The success of this mission is directly linked to the smooth implementation of every step of the subsequent plan. Therefore, I sincerely hope that at this critical moment, we can temporarily put aside our minor disagreements and prejudices and thoroughly survey the terrain, so as to live up to the trust of the Demon King and the Barbarian Emperor!"

Hu Rongrong's furry fox face was unusually serious. Yaoman, who had originally had prejudices against each other, suppressed all other thoughts and stopped refuting Hu Rongrong's words. Seeing that the unruly Yaoman who had been unruly all the way was no longer opposing her, Hu Rongrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, Hu Rongrong, I admit that your fox clan has always been full of wisdom and strategies. This matter concerns the overall rise and fall of the demon clan. I am willing to put aside my prejudice temporarily and obey your orders." Lang Tian was the first to express his opinion. He knew very well how much the Demon King valued this action.

Although Hu Rongrong is just a fox demon with low cultivation, she is very smart. Her extraordinary wisdom is well-known among the demon clan. It is because of this rare intelligence that this important mission falls on her shoulders, attracting everyone's attention.

"I'll listen to you too," Hu Xiao responded proudly, showing off his claws that were as sharp as blades and gleamed with cold light. "If that human villain dares to come near me, I'll kill him with this claw!"

"Tell me what we should do. Since we, the barbarians, have decided to cooperate with you, I will listen to you as long as you don't deliberately let us take the blame and let the demons hide behind and take advantage!" Man Hu, as the representative of the barbarian team, also spoke up.

Hu Rongrong's eyes flickered upon hearing this, a fleeting glint of subtle cunning, but her face was filled with sincerity. "Brother Manhu, you and I, the demon and barbarian tribes, are as close as family. This time, we are joining forces to fight the enemy and deal with the cunning humans. Of course, we should work together. Our demon king has made a vow: when the seven consecutive passes are breached, we will let our barbarian brothers serve as the vanguard, entering the city first to enjoy the fruits of victory!"

As soon as these words came out, the hesitation in Man Hu's heart instantly disappeared. The corners of his mouth bloomed into an uncontrollable smile, as if it could reach his ears. He slapped his thigh and assured proudly: "Haha, brilliant! You said this yourself, don't try to cheat when the time comes!"

"Of course! These are the words of the Demon King, how could they be false?" Hu Rongrong quickly agreed, but inwardly she sneered. These barbarians were truly naive. Did they think humans were so easy to deal with? The lessons learned over the years didn't seem to have taught them any caution.

Granted, being the first race to enter the city brings its own benefits, but what follows is the fierce resistance of all human forces within the Seven Link Passes, a weight they likely haven't yet fully grasped. After all, that's one of the most formidable passes the human race prides itself on. Who could possibly be so easily defeated by those who have held it for so long? As for us, the demon race, we can simply wait for the two races to battle to exhaustion, then reap the benefits. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Next, Hu Rongrong began to methodically arrange all matters. She meticulously planned the defenses of Huangshi Gorge, ensuring every detail was under control. She also considered the arrival of the large force of the Butterfly Clan in two days. She already had a detailed plan in mind, waiting for that day to arrive, so she could arrange everything perfectly.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhou and the other man, who had originally just wanted to eavesdrop on the movements of the demon, became completely serious. They didn't expect that they just wanted to catch a small shrimp, but with this net, they unexpectedly caught a big fish that was hidden deep inside.

"Yunzhou, this news is urgent and must be relayed back to Qilianguan immediately. Also, I wonder what the situation is like for Brother Shan and the others!" Jiang Liunian's heart was in turmoil. He had never expected to stumble upon such a profound secret. He knew this matter was of grave importance and no small matter. However, the Yellowstone Gorge was currently encircled by a tight net laid by the demon and barbarian tribes, with all exits sealed. Breaking out was a pipe dream.

"The Demonic and Barbarian tribes have completely surrounded the entrances and exits of the Yellowstone Gorge. We can't escape now, and with their exploration of the Yellowstone Gorge tomorrow, we might run into them at any time. We only have one chance now, and that is to take advantage of their relaxation later in the night and force our way out!"

Gu Yunzhou hadn't expected to encounter such a bombshell on his first mission, but he was well aware of the weight of this intelligence. If the demons succeeded, it would be a catastrophe for humanity. They could feign defeat, luring the human army into this carefully laid trap, leading to a brutal massacre.

Thinking of this scene, Gu Yunzhou's heart couldn't help but be shrouded in a layer of gloom, but more of it was a determination to go forward without hesitation. He knew that if the large army was trapped in Huangshi Gorge, the Yaoman tribe would turn around and attack the Seventh Pass. By then, they might really succeed if they were caught off guard.

"You're right. Let's go check around a few entrances first!" Jiang Liunian took a deep breath and waved his finger lightly. The real-time image floating in the air slowly dissipated like morning mist, leaving only silence and determination in the room.

"I've ordered the Three-Eyed Zhi to follow us secretly, just in case. Yunzhou, right now, only you and I are traveling together. If the time is right, you must act decisively and find an opportunity to evacuate first. I will stay behind and break out on my own. You must pass on the important intelligence here to the Seventh Link. As for me, I will remain hidden here, closely monitoring their every move."

In just a short moment, Jiang Liunian had made his decision. Firstly, he believed that his cultivation was a little deeper than Gu Yunzhou's, and staying here might give him a better chance of survival; secondly, he was the only one who mastered the unique literary skill that could spy on secrets and collect intelligence, so he had no choice but to do so.
