Chapter 688: Collusion
After pondering for a long time, Xu Chuniang made a decision.
“I can join you guys, it’s just that in the past few days, we have contacted a total of five cultivators, and I promised them that I would take them with me.”
The old man’s face was as usual, and he didn’t reject it outright.
“Those five cultivators, what are their cultivation levels?”
“Two Early God Transformation, one Mid God Transformation, and two Late God Transformation.”
The old man said after a slight contemplation, “The two cultivators in the late stage of God Transformation can join us, the other three’s cultivations are too low, and it’s too risky to bring them along.
Of course, if the laws they comprehend are related to the Laws of Sealing, or if they have other special means, then it’s another story.”
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, of those three, two of them comprehended the Laws of Force, and the other female cultivator in the middle stage of God Transformation comprehended the Laws of Light.
The female cultivator who had comprehended the Law of Light had opened up a hidden space of light within her body, in which her magic weapons and spirit crystals were hidden, and had not been taken away by the Orcs.
In a few words, she briefly described the situation of several people.
Upon hearing this, the old man weighed the situation in his mind.
The entire vein was covered by the Sealing Formation, thus, the Spirit Crystals were very important, directly determining the level of cultivation that the people would be able to recover after removing the iron ring.
Those two early stage Spirit Transformation cultivators aside, the other female cultivator, if she had a large enough amount of spirit crystals on her, she could be drawn in.
“Has she ever revealed how many spirit crystals there are in total in the Space of Light?”
“She didn’t say so explicitly, but she mentioned to me that she was a Ji family cultivator.”
“Someone from the Ji family!”
The old man’s complexion changed slightly, as early as over a hundred thousand years ago, the Ji Family had a Mahayana cultivator who had appeared and flourished for a while, especially that Mahayana cultivator, who eventually ascended to Immortality without any problems, which had caused the Ji Family’s reputation to reach an unprecedented height.
Although these recent tens of thousands of years, the Ji family seems to be a bit lonesome, the Ji family cultivators are also more and more low-profile, but it is not the general family can be compared.
“If she really is a member of the Ji Family, then the spirit crystals in her body are definitely not a few, plus she possesses a space of light that can allow us to briefly accommodate ourselves, and can drastically reduce the risk of being discovered by the Orcs!”
The old man’s expression perked up slightly as he nodded his head towards Xu Chuniang.
“Many thanks for informing me of this, young friend, I will personally discuss this with that female cultivator surnamed Ji, as for the other two early stage God Transformation cultivators, although they cannot move with us, they can hide in the Space of Light and leave with us.”
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, this was a good idea.
With limited time, it was unrealistic to try and untie the iron rings on everyone without alerting the Orcs.
The best way was for those with low strength to hide in the Space of Light, while those with high strength stayed outside to break out.
It wouldn’t be too late to untie the iron rings on those people after they escaped the Orcs’ domain.
“With the Space of Light, it’s not impossible to take everyone away together.”
A smile appeared on the old man’s face and he lowered his voice.
“Every year on March 3, it is the day when the half-orc race celebrates the birth of the Beast God. On this day, most of the half-beastmen will head to the Beast God Academy, leaving only a small portion in the mines.
The next Beast God Festival is our chance.”
Xu Chuniang understood, the Beast God Festival had been mentioned in the few books she had read that were related to the half-orc race.
For the Half-Beast Human Race, this was a very important day, and the higher the cultivation level, the less likely they would be absent.
On this day, the guards in the mines must not be as tight as usual.
Staring at the direction where the old man left for a while, Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze, picked up the mining hoe in her back basket, and continued to mine the Spirit Ore.
The days in the mine were silent and depressing, and every now and then, there would be people who couldn’t stand the inhumane persecution and attacked, only to be easily countered by the Orc supervisors and reduced to a situation worse than death. However, Xu Chuniang realized that ever since she had talked to the old man, more and more human cultivators had chosen to endure under the Orc’s oppression.
It seemed that the old man had already informed them of the plan.
In the past, it was just a matter of not seeing hope, but now that there was a chance to escape, naturally no one took the initiative to provoke the Orcs.
Time passes day by day, in the blink of an eye, it is March 2nd, tomorrow is the Beast God Festival.
In these days, the Orc overseers in the mines were unusually excited, and they were always looking for trouble from the human cultivators who were digging the mines.
Turn over the spiritual ore, but also reckless to the extreme, regardless of whether the human cultivator in front of the completion of the task, raised his hand is a few lashes down.
“These pieces of spirit ore are too small, unqualified, punish you with one day of spirit food!”
Seeing them suffer from the long whip, without saying a word, the Orc Supervisor’s heart gave birth to some strange feelings.
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but in recent months, these human cultivators seemed to be too honest.
After collecting the Spirit Ore, he walked towards the storehouse, put the newly collected Spirit Ore into the storehouse, and asked towards the several Orcs guarding the storehouse.
“Do you guys feel that those human cultivators are not right?”
“What’s wrong?”
The Orc overseer thought for a moment, “Before, they would look at me with hateful eyes and would try to make a move on me, but in recent months, no one has done so.”
The few Orcs guarding the storehouse laughed, and one of them, even revealed a disdainful look.
“Human cultivators are originally a despicable race, greedy and cowardly, they are probably scared, hahaha!”
Is that so?
The Orc Supervisor was a bit puzzled and was continuing to ask when he heard a few people talking about tomorrow’s Beast God Festival.
A frenzied look appeared on his face, and he instantly left that bit of doubt in his heart behind.
Tomorrow would be the first time he went to the Beast God Academy to participate in the Beast God Festival, for any Orc, this was a great honor.
As he was talking, one of the Orcs suddenly thought of something, and his expression became serious.
“Tomorrow is our clan’s big celebration, that group of despicable human races will definitely take the opportunity to invade our clan’s territory as they did in previous years, the border has to be defended.”
“These you are relieved, what you can think of, how could the elders not think of it? And in just one day, the human race can’t turn over any tricks.
It’s better to think about how to get favored by the Beast God tomorrow at the Beast God Festival!”
Just as the Orcs were reveling in tomorrow’s upcoming Beast God Festival, in the narrow, dark mine, the human cultivators reached a consensus in a certain unique way.
Whether or not they could escape from this dark and sunless mine would depend on tomorrow!
“Knock knock knock.”
Three light knocks sounded on the stone walls of the mine.
Xu Chuniang turned her head back and exchanged a look with the dark and thin cultivator who had knocked on the stone wall, and it was all in the air.
The black-skinny cultivator nodded slightly and turned around to disappear into the darkness of the mine tunnel.
At cinnabar time, the celebrations in the various Beast God Courts had yet to begin, and the many Orcs invited to come had long been waiting in the Beast God Courts for a long time.
