Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 671: One on the left and one on the right

Southern Xinjiang has a very loose structure, and the people living here are mainly in the form of tribes, which are manifested in various villages.

Although it seems like a loose group, in fact southern Xinjiang is unexpectedly united. Even if there are grudges between tribes, they will still work together.

This is because of the witches.

In southern Xinjiang, the witch is not only a religious leader, but also a medical leader. In addition, he can use magic, and his status is second only to the clan leader.

There would usually be no fighting between shamans. In fact, shamans from different tribes even identified with each other more than with their own tribes.

Therefore, as long as the witches and priests unite, southern Xinjiang will unite as well. Under this general trend, the clan leader can only agree, otherwise he will not be able to continue to be the clan leader.

The ceremony that Ran Xiaoyi mentioned refers to the ceremony of inviting the mountain god to possess the body.

It is true that Big Crab is a mountain god, but the mountain god that Ran Xiaoyi's sister wants to call upon is different from Big Crab. It can be said that there is no comparison in terms of fighting ability.

Once it succeeds, the news will quickly spread throughout southern Xinjiang, and by then the shamans of each tribe will follow the lead of Baofeng Village.

Under such circumstances, if Baofengzhai said it wanted to cooperate with the people from the Western Regions to deal with the people from the Central Plains together, that would be the worst situation.

Ran Xiaoyi's sister's power increased, which means that the ceremony was successfully performed, but it was not complete enough.

The ceremony is held based on date, weather and astrological requirements, and it will most likely be held soon, so Ran Xiaoyi said that tonight is the last chance.

Everyone had originally planned to go to Baofeng Village to investigate, so now there was no reason to refuse.

It would be best if the matter was ruined before the ceremony was held. If that was not possible, we had to find out to what extent the cooperation between Baofeng Village and Tianlang Sect had progressed, as well as find out where the missing Ning Xian'er and the others were. This would at least give the Central Plains martial arts world and even the Central Plains dynasty some warning time.

Now that the goal is clear, the next question is how to act.

Ran Xiaoyi knew several secret passages leading to Baofeng Village, but the problem was that there were too many people on the scene, making it unsuitable for exploration.

After a brief discussion, they decided that the thieves from the Sixteenth Village would lead the way into the village to gather some intelligence. If there was a chance to disrupt the ceremony, that would be the best. If that didn't work, they would send a signal and Zhou Wenyi, who was guarding outside, would lead his men to fly directly into the village and confront them head-on.

Of course, a head-on confrontation is the last option. Although the bamboo wall of Baofeng Village cannot stop these tall guys, casualties are inevitable as long as a head-on conflict occurs.

Baofengzhai has a special status in southern Xinjiang. No matter which side suffers heavy casualties, it will intensify the conflict between Central Plains and southern Xinjiang.

There is nothing wrong with the plan itself, just one small problem.

For example, Li Chengxi, who was watching all this on the screen, felt that he might have to stay up late again tonight...

–‐‐——–‐‐——

When the moon climbed up above the branches, the crowd, who were afraid to even light a bonfire, hurriedly ate something to fill their stomachs. A few people were left behind to look after the wounded, and the rest followed Ran Xiaoyi through the twists and turns of the forest.

The dense forest at night seemed even more terrifying and profound, especially when from time to time you would see a pair of sparkling eyes flash by in the darkness, and you always felt that there were many wild beasts following nearby.

This is a damn place where you can get lost if you walk during the day. Ran Xiaoyi led everyone to walk at night without turning back once. It was like she had her own navigation system and could find the way very accurately. After walking for almost half an hour, the view ahead became clear and a fire appeared in front of everyone.

In the dim light of torches, everyone saw a large fortress appearing under the big tree that seemed to be able to stand tall. The wall was close to the mountain wall on one side, and spring water flowed in front of the gate of the fortress, like a natural moat.

This scale is more than ten times larger than Qingzhu Village, it is almost like a small city.

Leaving Zhou Wenyi and most of the people in the martial arts world behind, they will wait for the signal and rush over immediately if there is any change.

Wu Shaoyi is also in this group of people. After all, she can charge forward with a wheelchair, but she can't sneak with it, which is a bit limited.

The remaining people, except Ran Xiaoyi and a few people from southern Xinjiang in Qingzhu Village, were Shiliuzhai and Yang Yiyi.

With Yanbo Jiangjue around, Yang Yiyi can also do stealth work, provided that she doesn't rush up to anyone she sees.

The team was reduced to a dozen people, and now they walked around Baofeng Village and went to the side.

Ran Xiaoyi searched the area for a while and found a piece of bamboo that had been laid on the ground. She asked someone to move the bamboo away, revealing a dark hole underneath.

This is the secret passage in and out of Baofeng Village.

As of now, the people of Baofeng Village do not seem to have blocked this place, which is good news, but the bad news is that there may be someone watching at the other end of the secret passage.

Everyone went into the cave one by one, took out fire starters and blew them up, then quietly followed Ran Xiaoyi and continued to move forward.

The cave is neither wide nor deep, but as you walk along you can see oversized tree roots. The entire cave seems to have been dug out by these tree roots. In some places there are bottomless holes, and no one knows how deep the roots of the tree are.

After walking along the cave for about a quarter of an hour, Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone not to make any noise.

Not far ahead, there appeared a stone wall that had obviously been repaired by humans. Qin Yan walked quickly over, stuck close to the wall and listened. After confirming that there was no movement behind the wall, Ran Xiaoyi signaled everyone to extinguish the fire and pull the mechanism on the side.

As the large sandbag fell into the darkness, a crack appeared in the stone wall and opened to the left and right like a door, and people immediately poured in.

The place they came in from seemed to be a small warehouse. In the moonlight, they could see that the surrounding bamboo racks were filled with iron farm tools such as axes and sickles, as well as a small number of weapons.

The smelting and forging technology in southern Xinjiang is not very good. A lot of pig iron is actually obtained through trade with the Central Plains. Don’t underestimate the things in the warehouse. These things are very valuable in southern Xinjiang.

Ran Xiaoyi found a snake staff from the wall on one side. Although it was not as convenient as her own, it could at least be used.

The heroes of the Sixteenth Village tiptoed towards the door. With a slight creaking sound from the door and two short screams that were too short to be uttered, they soon dragged in two knocked-down southern Xinjiang men and placed them against the wall.

Fortunately, it was the people from the Sixteenth Village who took action. If it was Yang Yiyi, I'm afraid she would have broken the necks of these two people.

After doing this, Ran Xiaoyi whispered:
"I met my sister here before. I don't know what Baofeng Village is like. I vaguely remember that my sister mentioned that Baofeng Village would hold a ceremony at the altar under the big tree. Let's split into two groups, one on the left and one on the right. After searching once, we will meet up under the big tree."

Everyone nodded, and they split up in front of the warehouse door, some heading left and some heading right.
