"Reaching out to the space residents? Chief Xiong, you are playing with fire!"
Yan Zhengdong, chief of the Burning Sun Tribe, smashed the giant desk with a bam sound, leaving a clear indent of his fist in the black wood that was as solid as iron . He rose up suddenly and glared at Xiong Wuji .
The chief of the Giant Axe Tribe and that of the Feathered Snakes Tribe, as well as the elders of those tribes, all frowned .
Behind them were the young experts of the three tribes who had been invited to the meeting because of their excellent performance in the battle of the apocalypse .
The young warriors were not as courteous as those sitting at the front . Some of them, in fear of Xiong Wuji's toughness, were merely whispering to each other in complaint . But the more irrational and disobedient guys were simply shouting .
"Xiong Wuji is mad!"
That was what happened in the meeting of the six tribes .
The motion that Xiong Wuji put forward to reach out to the space residents was lambasted by the Burning Sun Tribe as expected .
Even on Xiong Wuji's side, not everyone in the Furious Bears Tribe, the Silver Moon Tribe, and the Heaven Wolves Tribe knew about the matter .
Some young qi-trainers gasped in shock, apparently hearing the bold idea for the first time . The crowd was humming, as if ten thousand mosquitoes were flying in the meeting room .
Li Yao made the greatest contribution in the battle of apocalypse only secondary to Xiong Wuji . Therefore, he was qualified to sit at the very front of the crowd . He could see one side of Xiong Wuji's face clearly .
Xiong Wuji's nerves seemed to be made of tempered steel . He had foreseen the strong objection and therefore was not in the least surprised .
Yan Zhengdong, chief of the Burning Sun Tribe, gnashed his teeth . "Chief Xiong, the so-called communication and negotiation of yours mean leaking the secrets of Iron Plateau to the space residents . No way! There's no way that the Burning Sun Tribe will approve of such a motion!"
Xiong Wuji said solemnly, "History has proved that seclusion does not lead to good results! No techniques can be kept a secret forever . Only by communication, absorption, and evolution can our techniques become stronger and stronger!
"Of course, we won't be offering our core techniques for nothing . We are going to trade them for the space residents' techniques and resources! By then, if Chief Yan feels that a certain deal is inappropriate, you can always vote against it!"
Yan Zhengdong burst into laughter . "That's an interesting thought . But who can guarantee that the space residents have no other evil purposes? Chances are that they've been coveting Iron Plateau for a long time!"
Xiong Wuji replied seriously, "All the more reason we should communicate with them . Only by talking with them can we know what is on the space residents' mind and how advanced their Cultivation technology is! As the saying goes, you can never lose a battle if you know both yourself and your enemy . But right now, we don't know the first thing about the space residents . If they are really malicious, we don't even know how to resist them . That's definitely not what we want!"
Yan Zhengdong's face reddened, his veins bulging on his neck . He yelled, "I don't know anything about the space residents, but I know everything about the Iron Plateau natives! If the space residents dare to mess around on Iron Plateau, we will make them die without a grave!"
Xiong Wuji raised his voice, too . "And exactly how are we going to make them die without a grave? We are all well aware of the state of the six tribes . All the resources have almost been drained to fight against the apocalyptic beasts!
"Just now, the Heaven Wolves Tribe and the Giant Axe Tribe were bickering for an entire hour over a mother lode of Purple Mist Stones with an annual production of only three thousand tons . Three thousand tons! That was among the tiniest mother lodes three hundred years ago . The elders of the two tribes in the past could've met and had a dinner with each other and figured the whole thing out . But right now, the fuss has to be addressed in the meeting of the six tribes! Why? Because we are running out of resources! The shallow resources on the top of the earth have almost been emptied!
"I know that many people object to communicating with space residents because you cannot let go of the betrayal five thousand years ago . But the dwindling resources are the most crucial problem at hand right now! If we don't reach out to the space residents and we don't purchase more resources, in a few decades, when everyone sitting here is old or dead, are you expecting the qi-trainers sitting behind you and me to kill the apocalyptic beasts with stone axes and wooden sticks?
"Chief Yan, if you are against my motion, why don't you tell us what plans you have in mind to address the resource shortage?"
Yan Zhengdong chuckled and replied, "Of course, I have my plans!
"Now that all the leadership of six tribes are gathered today, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce the 'Oasis Plan'!"
"Oasis Plan?"
Lively discussions dominated the room again . The qi-trainers on the Furious Bears Tribe's side were looking at each other in bewilderment . There was confusion in everyone's eyes .
The qi-trainers on the Burning Sun Tribe's side, on the other hand, put on a mysterious smile, as if they were sure about their victory .
For the first time, surprise appeared on Xiong Wuji's face . Obviously, he had never heard of the 'Oasis Plan' before .
Li Yao sat straight and narrowed his eyes .
Yan Zhengdong cleared his throat and continued, "It is well known that the territory of the six tribes of Iron Plateau is merely a small portion of all the land on our planet . Most of the land beyond our territory is known as the Dark Continent, which was the first to take a strike from the apocalypse!
