"Here's my suggestion."
Li Yao took out the guns and sabers that were wrapped in oilcloth from the holes on the wall and opened them on the ground. He picked the weapons that suited him best while he pondered. "It's too chaotic out there. It's not safe for the three space residents to stay here. Even for me, because of my mysterious background, it's easy for other people to think that something is wrong with me.
"Chief Xiong, I want you to escape with Sister Sha and Wu Mayan through the secret tunnel. However, you must make some noises when you escape so that the six tribes will be distracted. It will be best if they send a large batch of troops to surround and block me. That will buy me a day or two. Can you do that?"
Xiong Wuji sniffed. "Not just a day or two, who in the six tribes of Iron Plateau can stop me if I really want to leave? But what's the reason? "
Li Yao said, "Everything I said just now is just my personal deduction. The so-called interconnected schemes are the most vulnerable because the whole scheme will be ruined if one of the links is broken.
"For example, right now, although the six tribes of Iron Plateau have been infuriated, they don't have a hundred Cultivators in front of them to slaughter. So, it is unlikely that an irreversible conflict will break out.
"Therefore, something must have happened in the Oasis Tribe that can instigate a conflict between the two parties!
"I believe that the incident will be 'triggered' when the main troops of the six tribes of Iron Plateau arrive at the Oasis Tribe!
"The six tribes of Iron Plateau will have to gather a large troop, even if it is only a rapid response troop made of elite experts, and march deep into the Dark Continent. A lot of ammunition and supplies will be required. Also, it will take at least five days for the True Qi tanks to march there. If you can delay them for another day or two, you will have seven days.
"If I rush forward alone, I will definitely be several times faster than the main troops. Maybe, I will be able to buy myself four to five days and arrive at the Oasis Tribe before the main troops!
"By then, whether or not everything is a scheme of the Immortal Cultivators will be revealed. The truth will be revealed! "
Xiong Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "I'll buy you three days!"
Li Yao nodded. "Not just that. Do you have pen and paper here? I also need you to write a few more letters. I will give them to Xiong Zhenzhen and Shi Meng. "
"Since this is an emergency operation, the Six Tribes can only send a small part of their elites. The Fierce Storm Assault Team and the Iron Bears Detonation Team will definitely be among them. I hope you can write down the entire inference you just made. "
"I wonder, how is your relationship with them?"
Xiong Wuji said, "I was the one who brought them up. We are like father and son. But now..."
Li Yao said, "That's enough. Of course, they're still skeptical, but I don't need them to make a choice now. I just want to plant a seed of doubt in their hearts."
"You asked them to pretend that they were very active and determined to prove the innocence of the Furious Bear Tribe. Bring as many men as you can! "
"This is Furious Bears City, which is our territory in the first place. If we use Furious Bears City as our base, we won't be able to do anything. The Ferocious Bear Tribe must have sent the most people. Moreover, the Ferocious Bear Tribe is the one providing most of the supplies. They can take this opportunity to send more people. "
"Other people will have nothing to say when they see the Furious Bears Tribe's attitude of 'atonement'."
"Now that they are suspicious, they will wait until we reach the Oasis Tribe. They will definitely believe me when I find real evidence.
"Besides. You need to write two letters to the chiefs of the Heaven Wolves Tribe and the Silver Moon Tribe, and two to the chiefs of the Giant Axe Tribe and the Feathered Snakes Tribe. You can give the letters to Xiong Zhenzhen and Shi Meng for safekeeping, too. But you don't need to give them to the chiefs yet. You can always show them to them at a critical moment!
"By then, as long as the five tribes hesitate, the Burning Sun Tribe alone will not be able to do anything. Instead, they will appear to be extremely radical!"
Xiong Wuji nodded. "Alright. Let me think about how to write the letters."
Li Yao said, "However, you can mention the existence of 'Li Yao', but don't involve me. I will still be 'Sand Scorpion'."
Xiong Wuji frowned. "Are you underestimating the wisdom of the Iron Plateau natives? With everything coming to this point, it is very likely that the mysterious' Sand Scorpion 'is discovered to be a space resident Li Yao. If your identity is revealed at a critical moment, like what happened to me today, you will be in a very passive position."
Li Yao smiled casually. He suddenly asked a strange question. "Chief Xiong, if you can pass the test of the Truth Cabinet today, will other people stop blaming you or suspecting your identity?"
Xiong Wuji replied, "Of course! Trust is the most important thing in the six tribes of Iron Plateau. Asking an Iron Plateau native to go to the Truth Cabinet is the greatest insult. It means that they do not believe what the person says and have to prove themselves with magical equipment.
"If the magical equipment proves that the person is not lying in the end, it will be a very serious slander. The person will have no time to apologize. How will they dare to question the person again?
"In history, there have even been cases where the accusers committed suicide in public after they were proven not to be lying in the Truth Cabinet!"
Li Yao said, "Therefore, as long as I can pass the test of the Truth Cabinet, everybody will believe that I am not a space resident."
Xiong Wuji narrowed his eyes and said, "Li Yao, I know that you are an expert in magical equipment. However, the 'Truth Cabinet' is the oldest piece of ancient equipment on Iron Plateau. Some of its core components can even be traced back to the Star Ocean Imperium! It can directly judge a person's Divine Soul. You can't fool it! "
Li Yao blinked and said, "Rest assured, Chief Xiong. I have absolute faith in the accuracy of the Truth Cabinet. I was worried that it was not accurate enough! But now that you have put it that way, I can rest assured. "
Xiong Wuji stopped talking and focused on the writing of the letter.
Kacha kacha!
Inside the dark room, the only sound that could be heard was Li Yao adjusting the gun and the saber.
Suddenly, Li Yao came to a complete halt.
He was holding a super heavy gun that was dark on the surface but emitting blue brilliance deep inside.
At first glance, it looked like six iron pipes as thick as an adult's arm that were arranged in a circle. The bone rings made of the ribs of demon beasts were tied together and rotated with gears and chains.
Every time the trigger was pulled, the gears would emit cracking noises. The chains would drive the barrel to rotate one step.
If the trigger was pulled, the barrel would begin to rotate rapidly.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and approached the barrel. The bullets used in the 'gun' were at least the size of his fist.
"What is this?" Li Yao was secretly amazed.
Xiong Wuji raised his head and was dazed, too. "What are you doing with this? This magical equipment was made more than a hundred years ago. Thunderous Roar, the captain of the Iron Bears Detonation Team, specially crafted this weapon by combining the features of guns and Wolf Fangs. Based on the principle of high-pressure spurting, the Wolf Fangs can be sprayed out like bullets! Their power is unparalleled!
"However, the shortcoming is obvious, too!
"First of all, the recoil is too strong. Every time we hit it, the recoil is too strong. Every time the target is hit by a qi-trainer, it is equivalent to a heavy punch to the chest. Even the strongest warrior will not be able to persist for long.
"Secondly, the consumption of the Wolf Fangs is too high! Look, in the continuous shooting mode, the monster can shoot out more than two hundred Wolf Fangs in one minute! How many Wolf Fangs can a member of the Iron Bears Detonation Team carry at most?
"Therefore, only Thunderous Roar, who was born with extraordinary strength, was able to use the monster-level magical equipment when he was in his prime. After he died, nobody was willing to use it until I discovered it.
"I appreciated the firepower of the weapon. But I also thought that, should my identity be exposed one day, I would probably be fighting on my own, and I was in dire need of such heavy magical equipment with great firepower. Therefore, I kept it for myself.
"But on second thought, I would definitely have to run for my life if my identity was exposed. How many Wolf Fangs could I take with me while I was running? This is an unparalleled lethal weapon. It is indeed a burden!
"The name of this lethal weapon is the Thunderous Roar Explosive Cannon!"
"That explains a lot!"
Li Yao touched Thunderous Roar and said, "Chief Xiong, I want to take away two thirds of the high-purity crystals here and refine them into bullets and crystal bombs. Also, I need the detailed structural design of the warehouse where all the trophies from the battle of the apocalypse are stored, as well as the ways to activate the traps in the warehouse. You should know all of them, right?"
Xiong Wuji raised his eyebrow. "You want the trophies?"
Li Yao licked his lips and said, "You are in the 99th level of the Refinement Stage. But because of your injuries, your combat ability is equal to the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. I am in the 80th level of the Refinement Stage right now. Together with the combat experience of the peak of the Building Foundation Stage, I am in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage!
"If everything is really the Temple of Immortals' scheme, an expert must be in charge of the situation on Iron Plateau. He must be in the Core Formation Stage at least, and he must have a lot of subordinates.
"It is impossible for us to improve our capability quickly in the next few days. So, we can only swallow them with the tide of magical equipment!
"Therefore, I need the best Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the crystals of the highest purity, and the shells of the apocalyptic beasts in order to produce the most powerful magical equipment!
"Chief Xiong, are there any places nearby that boast basic refining facilities other than Furious Bears City?"
Xiong Wuji pondered for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright. I will draw the map of the warehouse where the trophies are stored for you carefully. I will also give you the structural design of the seven traps and the ways to shut them down. Also, among the trophies, there are quite a few cores of apocalyptic beasts that are highly unstable and contain immense spiritual energy. They are all stored in the most confidential vault in the deepest part of the warehouse. I 'forgot' to tell the three elders the password of the vault just now. Keep it in mind!
"There is a 'Red River Mine' two hundred and sixty kilometers to the west of Furious Bears City. It was abandoned three years ago because of the exhaustion of the mother lodes. But a lot of refining facilities are still there. I remember that there is a maintenance workshop for mining magical equipment. The facilities there are quite complete!
"The area is desolate. Nobody will know what you are doing."
"Excellent!"
Li Yao rubbed his hands and carried 'Thunderous Roar' on his back in a hurry. He then selected almost ten magnificent True Qi guns and various True Qi sabers and swords.
The two of them were talking so fast that Sha Yulan was dazed. It was not until this moment that she finally exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
