Chapter 206 Clarifying the Ideas
Wu Heyi quickly invited Qiang Ge to sit down first, and then began to tell his story at a leisurely pace.
In fact, for most of the past day, Wu Heyi had been preoccupied with various things, his mind filled with worry and doubt.
However, when he casually glanced at the surrounding villages, it was as if a flash of inspiration struck him, and he suddenly understood.
After careful observation and thought, Wu Heyi discovered that the continent he had come to was incredibly primitive.
The indigenous people here have an extremely limited understanding of the concept of martial spirits; in fact, it can be said to be incomplete.
Based on this understanding, Wu Heyi instantly realized the key reason why the other side dared not launch a direct attack rashly.
Just then, Brother Qiang rushed over with the results of the interrogation that had just been completed, and these results undoubtedly further confirmed Wu Heyi's previous suspicions.
Wu Heyi shook his head slightly, smiled wryly, and said to Brother Qiang:
"Brother Qiang, we're just too tense! So much so that sometimes we haven't been able to think things through thoroughly even when faced with seemingly minor issues!"
Wu Heyi's words struck Qiang Ge like a heavy blow, leaving him momentarily stunned.
Despite this, Brother Qiang's anxiety did not diminish in the slightest.
You see, in their minds, if another village sends spies to gather intelligence, it means that a fierce war is about to break out between the two villages.
To be honest, Brother Qiang has experienced a lot of ups and downs in his life, including things like villages swallowing each other up.
Back then, the village where he lived was very small, with a population of only fifty or sixty.
At that time, his father, as the village leader, bore heavy responsibilities.
In a crucial operation, he resolutely led the entire village, young and old, into battle. After a fierce struggle, they successfully annexed three or four surrounding villages, which allowed the village to gradually expand and develop into what it is today.
However, fate is always full of twists and turns. One day, a hostile force launched a fierce attack on the village where they now lived.
The battle was exceptionally fierce. Qiang Ge's father fought a desperate battle with the enemy leader, and both of them ultimately perished.
After this fierce battle, both villages suffered heavy losses and were left with devastating damage; it can be said that both sides were severely injured.
Under these circumstances, Brother Qiang had no choice but to step forward and lead the remaining villagers to flee their homeland. After going through countless hardships, they finally arrived at their current place of refuge.
Because of this painful past, Qiang Ge is particularly sensitive and nervous about the wars that break out between villages.
At this moment, facing the imminent situation, Wu Heyi remained calm and composed.
This starkly different reaction made Qiang Ge feel increasingly uneasy and anxious.
"He Yi, I know you have considerable strength, but you have never experienced the profound sense of powerlessness that comes with war between villages!"
As Qiang Ge spoke, he became increasingly agitated, and his eyes gradually filled with bloodshot veins, as if those cruel scenes were replaying before his eyes.
Seeing this, Wu Heyi quickly stood up, forcefully pressed Qiang Ge back into his seat, and quickly poured him a steaming cup of green tea, gently comforting him:
"Brother Qiang, don't be so impulsive. In my opinion, we're just too nervous, to the point that we haven't even figured out the opponent's true intentions yet!"
After saying that, Wu Heyi picked up his teacup and took a small sip of tea.
"Then tell me, how exactly did they detect our presence?"
Wu Heyi put down his cup and stared intently at Brother Qiang as he asked.
Upon hearing this, Brother Qiang was eager to reply, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and froze on the spot for a while before slowly saying:
"This...it must be that they sent out many spies to search everywhere, and finally discovered us by chance!"
However, Wu Heyi shook his head repeatedly, and a series of incomprehensible sounds came out of his mouth:
"No no no!"
At the same time, he was also waving his right index finger.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Heyi explained with a serious expression:
"Actually, that's not the case. According to my speculation, they simply happened to see us hunting spirit beasts by chance, and they also unexpectedly discovered that we actually possess martial spirits and have the rare ability to absorb spirit rings!"
Just then, with a "whoosh," Brother Qiang suddenly stood up from his seat again. His body trembled slightly from excessive excitement, and the muscles on his face were taut to the extreme.
"Awakening your martial soul is the biggest secret in our village!"
This must never be known to outsiders!
"No, I have to go to the jail right now and take care of those guys, then get the whole village out of here!"
Qiang Ge's eyes widened, revealing a resolute and ruthless look.
Seeing this, Wu Heyi quickly reached out and forcefully pressed Qiang Ge back into his seat.
"Hey, can you please stop being so dramatic?"
Why kill someone to silence them? Their leader over there already knew about it!
Wu Heyi frowned and said with some helplessness.
After hearing this, Qiang Ge seemed to have all his strength drained away instantly. He slumped into a chair like a lifeless, weak lump of mud.
His mouth was wide open, but he could only utter indistinct mumbles:
"It's over...it's all over...it's all over now!"
Seeing Qiang Ge in such a wretched state, Wu Heyi felt a surge of anger. He raised his hand and slapped Qiang Ge hard across the face without any mercy.
"Crack! Crack!"
Two crisp, loud slaps rang out, making Qiang Ge's head buzz and giving him a complete reset.
"He Yi, why...why did you hit me?"
Qiang Ge covered his face, looking at Wu Heyi with a wronged expression, his eyes full of incomprehension and resentment.
"Haha, it's nothing, my hands just get a little itchy and can't stay still!"
Wu Heyi leaned to one side, casually sat down, and leisurely picked up his teacup to take a sip.
Then, he turned his gaze to the person opposite him and said slowly:
"The results of your interrogation just now are that the other party possesses a martial spirit that is almost identical to ours, and it is even found on their leader."
However, what's interesting is that the opponent only had two spirit rings.
In that case, according to the ranking system, that so-called leader is nothing more than a level 20+ Great Soul Master!
As soon as Wu He finished speaking, Qiang Ge, who had been lying on the ground like a limp rag and lifeless, suddenly raised his head, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"What? The enemy leader is only level 20?"
I easily cultivated to level 40 or higher!
Qiang Ge muttered to himself as he tried to recall the events of the past few months.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when he competed with the gatekeepers in the village who were also at level 20 or so. Back then, he was simply outstanding, far more powerful than anyone else!
In an instant, it was as if an invisible force was injected into Brother Qiang's body, making him feel completely refreshed.
He quickly leaped to his feet, head held high and chest puffed out; his previous listless appearance had vanished completely.
Instead, he exuded confidence and pride, as if the person who had just been like a lump of mud had nothing to do with him at all!
