Chapter 114 Give him a little more
"I'm giving you a chance. Quickly tell me everything you know, and why you insisted on poisoning our herbs?"
Xia Gu's face was full of disbelief, and her aura was so powerful that no one around her dared to approach.
When the merchant saw the summer mushrooms like this, he really didn't know what to say, and suddenly lost his courage.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to talk? If you're not going to talk, then I have no choice but to deal with you according to our tribe's custom."
After saying that, Xia Gu immediately raised a fireball from her palm, intending to give him a hard time.
Even if Xia Gu were to get hurt, she wouldn't care at all, since this merchant had indeed caused them a great loss.
Sweat dripped from the merchant's forehead, but he ultimately couldn't withstand Xia Gu's threat.
“I’ll tell you. Our caravan has been cooperating with the chieftain of your mountain tribe for a long time, specifically dealing with your tribe’s goods and always trading at the lowest price.”
"But ever since your previous clan chief died, our team has had no business dealings with you, which has caused us a lot of losses."
"We were already struggling to find work when suddenly a mysterious organization called the Shadow Alliance approached us, and we had no choice but to become its subordinates. Our mission was to sabotage the Horde Alliance's defense system."
The businessman kept talking about these things, feeling utterly exhausted and unable to see things in a normal way.
So he didn't know why the organization wanted them to do that, but they only cared about money, and they believed that anything could be accomplished with money.
That's why they poisoned all their herbs. There were other things they were planning, but they just hadn't started yet.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fenglin finally understood the reason and immediately went to Xia Gu's side.
"They want to undermine our defense system in preparation for a large-scale invasion of the apocalyptic mutated virus. This organization is not simple."
Zhang Fenglin was indeed somewhat flustered, never expecting that despite all his calculations, a mysterious organization would appear.
Therefore, the apocalyptic invasion was indeed man-made; otherwise, it would never have turned out this way.
"Let's detain this merchant first. Let him eat and drink as he pleases, just make sure he doesn't die. Perhaps he can still be of use to us."
Xia Gu quickly gave the instructions. Now that they knew the reason, they had to find a solution.
They cannot rest easy now, because they do not know what other plans the Shadow Alliance has.
"So are we really facing an apocalyptic invasion? Is there no way to solve this? But the previous world was able to completely defend itself."
Xia Gu relaxed now, feeling quite angry, since the matter was indeed a bit outrageous.
Xia Gu was extremely worried, not knowing how to put it in the best way. She knew this couldn't go on.
"I know you're anxious, but we need to calm down. Xiaxia, you're our pillar of strength right now, so don't worry, we'll always be by your side."
Xue Lan could only comfort Xia Gu from the sidelines, never expecting things to escalate to such a complicated degree.
He could also understand what the apocalypse Zhang Fenglin and Xia Gu were talking about, since he had already seen the mutated Xue Zhou last time, so this matter had deeply penetrated Xue Lan's heart.
After hearing Xue Lan's words of comfort, Xia Gu just sighed. Some things are just impossible to solve.
"We've already found a clue, haven't we? All we need to do is come up with a new solution based on that clue."
Xue Lan still wanted to approach the matter with an optimistic attitude. There was no point in saying anything now; she needed to calm Xia Gu down first.
Zhang Fenglin, who was standing to the side, was also deep in thought, and everyone was discussing solutions.
"How about we just turn the tables and use this plan against them? This businessman is definitely still in contact with the Shadow Alliance. So we can use this opportunity to make those people work for nothing."
Xue Lan immediately thought of such a method, but she didn't know if it would work in Xia Gu's mind.
After hearing Xue Lan's words, Zhang Fenglin nodded in agreement, feeling that Xue Lan was right.
“Yes, Xia Gu, we can definitely do that. We just need to use that merchant’s contact channels to lure the Shadow Alliance organization.”
Everyone already knows what kind of evil deeds the Shadow Alliance is doing.
They simply want to push this planet towards its end and completely invade the world. If everyone in the tribes is willing, they can indeed become the new overlords of this planet in the end.
Therefore, the Shadow Organization is the mastermind behind everything, and what they need to do is to get rid of this mastermind as soon as possible to ensure that the planet is not invaded.
After calming down, Xia Gu carefully considered the method Xue Lan had suggested and nodded.
“That’s right, do it this way, spread false information and mislead the Shadow Alliance.”
Xia Gu made a decision immediately. She figured she should just do what needed to be done and not worry about anything else.
She had already drawn up all the plans, but now she just needed to make a breakthrough, which meant getting the businessmen to agree.
They hurried to the location where the merchant was being held, and the merchant still looked at them with fear.
"I've already said everything you wanted me to say, so why are you still torturing me? What exactly do you want? Can you please stop torturing me and just give me a quick death?"
The merchant desperately wanted to escape, but he was powerless and guarded by so many people that he had no way to escape.
"We've come to see you not to torment you, but to discuss a business deal with you."
Xia Gu knew that doing this well wouldn't be easy, and since the merchant was neutral, it would be better to call it coercion and inducement.
"I won't do business with you. It's because of the changes in your tribe that our caravan has been unable to make any money and has been struggling to survive."
"Now you actually want me to do things for you? You're dreaming! A scholar can be killed but not humiliated. Don't you understand this principle?"
The businessman gave a cold laugh, constantly mocking their naiveté.
