Chapter 2880: Chapter 2881: Step-by-Step Advancement
"Why aren’t they coming out yet? How long are we supposed to wait?"
"Who knows! He’s having fun inside, while we’re here getting cold in the wind!"
A member of the hunting team complained softly.
In fact, it wasn’t just the two of them; others were also grumbling.
Zuo Shi’s face grew increasingly gloomy; he felt he’d had enough of this guy.
Maybe it’s better to just deal with him right here.
With this thought, he approached Jia Zijie.
"Brother Jia!"
Jia Zijie looked up at him, "What’s the matter?"
Zuo Shi disliked Jia Zijie’s current attitude; despite not being contemptuous, his every word and action seemed superior, as if Zuo Shi naturally fell a head below him.
But now wasn’t the time to argue about it, so Zuo Shi whispered, "Brother Jia, the old man made it clear before we came here, we need to act accordingly. I feel that now is as good a time as any, so why don’t we...?"
Jia Zijie suddenly interrupted him, "He’s coming!"
Zuo Shi was startled, glancing back.
Indeed.
Xue An emerged from the forest with a "pleased" expression, dragging a stumbling Vila.
Seeing his expression, even these ruthless members of the hunting team showed disdain on their faces.
Zuo Shi’s face grew gloomier as he coldly stared at Xue An, planning to act.
"Hold on, he seems to have something to say first!" Jia Zijie suddenly said.
Zuo Shi was startled.
And just then, Xue An walked leisurely up to Zuo Shi.
"This woman is the Elf Princess. She knows where the Elf Race’s settlement is!"
"Are you serious?" Zuo Shi could hardly believe his ears.
To seek the Elf Race’s settlement, they had tried every method, all of which ended in failure.
The ten Elf Women they previously found were merely caught during a pursuit.
Zuo Shi dreamed of finding the Elf Race’s settlement, as it meant top-quality goods in abundance.
"Of course it’s true. If you don’t believe me, ask her!"
Xue An pointed to Vila behind him. Seeing Zuo Shi’s face full of disbelief, he chuckled.
"Rest assured, the Divine Skill under my command is immensely potent. Any woman used as my vessel will wholly submit and be unable to resist; I instruct them what to say, and they say it—wouldn’t you agree?"
Vila’s face showed humiliation, yet she nodded with gritted teeth.
"Yes!"
"Now tell him where your race’s settlement is located!"
Vila raised her hand, pointing in a direction, "If you keep going this way, when you see three giant trees forming a triangle, you’ve arrived!"
"That’s incorrect. We’ve nearly scoured this planet; there’s been no sign at all!" Zuo Shi insisted.
"That’s because what you’ve seen is merely the surface; our race’s settlement is actually in a smaller space attached to this world!" Vila explained.
Hearing her words, Zuo Shi was half convinced.
He had considered the possibility before.
Since this dimension had nearly been turned upside down by them, yet they couldn’t find the Elf Race’s settlement:
This suggested the Elves’ settlement might not be on this planet at all!
"Why wait? Let’s hurry!" Zuo Shi exclaimed, eager to proceed.
As for his subordinates, they were even more impatient, itching to storm the Elf Race’s settlement the next second.
"Hold on; if we want to enter, we must strategize. After all, these Elves aren’t fools; it’s impossible they haven’t guarded the entrance!" Xue An reminded.
Despite his reluctance to follow Xue An’s words, Zuo Shi had to admit there was truth in them.
If they just trailed Vila openly, they might not only fail to enter but also alert the enemies.
"Then what do you suggest?" Zuo Shi asked gravely.
"Simple, let her go ahead, and we follow from a distance. Once she tricks them into opening the gate, we’ll charge inside!"
"That could work, but..." Zuo Shi was slightly hesitant, given the unpredictability of Vila’s loyalty.
If she switches sides, they’d be finished.
"Don’t worry, every woman I’ve used as a vessel is inescapably under my control. If I command east, she wouldn’t dare go west!" Xue An stated confidently.
Zuo Shi said nothing, but his face clearly showed skepticism.
"You don’t believe it? Then let me show you!"
With that, Xue An gave Vila a sharp glance, "Strip!"
Vila shivered, her face full of shame and anger, yet her hands involuntarily reached for her neckline and started unbuttoning.
In no time, a button came undone, revealing pale skin underneath.
Her skin tinged faintly red from extreme shame, captivating the onlookers.
The hunting team members, despite their worldly experience, were stunned by what they witnessed.
"Enough, stop!"
After halting Vila, Xue An triumphantly faced Zuo Shi and others, "How was that?"
Zuo Shi and the others were left speechless.
The Elf Race is notably conservative, especially the women.
For them to undress publicly, even opening a single button, far exceeded their limits.
Thus, Zuo Shi and the others finally believed Xue An’s words.
"Alright, let’s do as you said!"
It’s worth noting that Zuo Shi’s subordinates were indeed competent, proceeding systematically with clear division of labor once it was decided.
Yet throughout the process, they intentionally kept a distance from Xue An.
Even when looking at him, their eyes were full of disdain and contempt.
Xue An was aware of this, yet he said nothing, instead feigning delight as he followed the team into the forest’s depths.
Shu Jingchu approached again, first observing Xue An with a peculiar gaze, then whispering.
"Though knowing it was fake, I still want to punch you!"
Xue An chuckled, "Who said it was fake?"
"What do you mean? Did you really do something to that girl in the forest?"
"What do you think?" Xue An glanced at her.
Shu Jingchu wanted to say maybe, but upon seeing Xue An’s cold eyes, she swallowed her words.
"Then what do you mean?"
Xue An looked ahead and said calmly, "The settlement is real, the strategy is correct, but none of those people will survive!"
Actually, in the initial plan, the previous scene wasn’t included.
Though Xue An desired information about the fragments of The Celestial Mirror, he wouldn’t go so far as to make a girl undress publicly.
