Chapter 822, The Stone Thorn Tree’s Transmission?

Su Bai listened carefully to her entire account and finally understood why she would have such thoughts.
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn’t be so magnanimous either. A Tribe that ruined one’s entire life; no matter who it was, they would desperately want revenge.
However, with her strength alone, there was no way to achieve this, so she could only continue surviving within the Dark Scorpion Tribe.
Perhaps she had always felt there wasn’t any major issue, but the real catalyst was probably today’s incident of her Younger Brother’s death.
It completely shattered the line of defence in Ga’s heart, which was why the thought of wanting to eliminate the Dark Scorpion Tribe sprouted.
“According to what you’re saying, you want revenge, correct?” Su Bai asked.
“Yes.” Ga didn’t avoid it in the slightest.
Right now, the only motivation supporting her to live on was revenge; she absolutely must eliminate that Tribe that ruined her entire life. Even though this Tribe raised her from childhood, it did not matter. Her desire to ruin it still stands.
“You don’t resent us because of your Younger Brother’s death, also because you want to use us to help you take revenge, correct?” Su Bai continued asking.
“That’s also one reason, but the biggest reason is that he was beyond saving.” Ga slowly raised her cold face.
The scorpion girl’s face had never been this indifferent before; she was completely different from her appearance during the day.
During the day she had still been full of lecturing towards her Younger Brother, but the next second, after her Younger Brother died, there wasn’t much of a ripple in her heart.
Only at the instant Gai was executed did Ga’s heart show some slight fluctuation; afterwards there was no expression whatsoever.
“What do you mean by that?” Su Bai didn’t understand the young woman’s Younger Brother.
“The thoughts in his mind had already become completely identical to those people in the Dark Scorpion Tribe. Continuing on, he would only become a far crueller person.” Ga gave a cold laugh and continued, “Although I’m also not qualified to say these things, wasn’t his entire life also ruined?”
She actually very much wanted to have that kind of happy life, simply wanting to be a normal Totem Warrior. Not a weapon that only knew killing; living in this world like that also had no great meaning.
“How can you make us trust you?” Su Bai threw out the most fatal question.
Indeed, if she didn’t have anything that made them trust her, almost no Tribe member would be willing to take her in or help her take revenge. After all, her initial intention was to oppose the Flame Dragon Tribe; now wanting to join the Flame Dragon Tribe would naturally make people worried.
“I also know that saying anything is useless, so if you don’t trust me, then execute me.”
The expression on Ga’s cold face showed no change as she continued. “In any case, you’ve already obtained the information you wanted, or is there something else you want to know? I can continue speaking.”
When she said these words, she was like a cold machine, completely devoid of any emotion whatsoever.
“How many Tribes are under the Dark Scorpion Tribe?” Su Bai asked the question he most wanted to know.
Because he did not know how many dangers surrounded the Flame Dragon Tribe; if he wanted the Tribe to develop smoothly and steadily, the only method was to first clear away the surrounding dangers. Otherwise, forget about development! Even surviving would be an extremely difficult matter!
Like the Feng and Zhu who previously intruded into the Flame Dragon Tribe, they had provided useful information.
Since he now had a senior Warrior from the Dark Scorpion Tribe in hand, naturally he should extract some more useful intelligence.
“The Tribes I know about are all in the vicinity around the Dark Scorpion Tribe. It seems there are also some near your Tribe, but I don’t know where they are.” Ga pondered for a moment and continued. “But, we all have intelligence agents. We obtain information about those Tribes’ locations based on intelligence from these agents.”
“Oh? Intelligence agents? According to what you’re saying, you know our current location based on intelligence provided by these ‘intelligence agents’, is that right?” Su Bai’s eyebrows lifted slightly.
He knew he could obtain some useful information; now he was even more interested in the young woman before him.
“Yes, our Tribe has someone specifically managing intelligence personnel. All intelligence across this continent comes from him.”
Ga’s expression eased slightly as she continued. “He has numerous intelligence agents under him, present in various locations, all specifically responsible for intelligence.”
“Among the Tribes surrounding our Tribe, you don’t know where even one of them is?” Su Bai still wasn’t willing to give up. The greatest threat was precisely those Tribes around the Flame Dragon Tribe; these threats must be cleared away first.
“I don’t remember clearly, but when we set out, the Shaman told us that if our strength wasn’t enough, we could borrow Warriors from nearby Tribes.” Ga wasn’t entirely certain.
Su Bai tapped the table with his index finger, frowning as he asked, “Do you have a way to contact those intelligence agents?”
Since those intelligence agents were so capable, actively contacting them to learn those Tribes’ locations wasn’t impossible either.
“We all have a fixed meeting method; actively seeking them out is possible.” Ga suddenly said.
The corners of Su Bai’s mouth curved up slightly as he nodded thoughtfully and asked. “So, you know of the method?”
“I know.” Ga nodded indifferently, her green eyes very resolute as she said. “I can help you make contact.”
This had also suddenly occurred to her; perhaps only this method could earn the other party’s trust.
“Are you serious?” Su Bai asked even though he knew the answer.
Having spoken these words, he was quite certain she truly detested the Dark Scorpion Tribe to the extreme.
“Yes.” Ga nodded without hesitation.
“What kind of method is it?” Su Bai asked.
He began to grow somewhat curious about how this Large Tribe contacted other Tribes, exactly what kind of operational method it was.
How could such a Large Tribe, while managing so many Small Tribes, maintain uninterrupted intelligence and also manage so many Tribes?
“We all select Stone Thorn Trees and then leave the most conspicuous mark on the trunk.” Ga allowed her loose hair to fall across her face as she continued. “When they see the mark, they will go to that tree three days later to wait for me.”
“It’s that simple? What kind of tree is this Stone Thorn Tree?” Su Bai asked.
However, it made sense. This method of transmitting information needed to be simple and convenient. Unlike the Flame Dragon Tribe, which possessed carrier pigeons and could transmit information anytime and anywhere using birds.
“It’s that simple. Stone Thorn Trees are extremely rare in the forest, but at the same time they can grow extremely tall, very conspicuous among a large expanse of trees.”
Ga blinked her green eyes and continued. “Intelligence agents search for these trees in the forest every day, then check them to see if there are any marks. If there are, they will wait there according to the time specified.”
“I understand.” Su Bai suddenly comprehended.
