In short, when there's nothing going on, you can join in with everyone else, but when there's something, take care of your own business first.

As for talking to the indigenous people about the bigger picture, that's just a joke.

In their eyes, all they care about is what they're eating today and whether they can fill their stomachs tomorrow.

Boom! A powerful shockwave completely collapsed the wooden wall, revealing the scene inside the base camp as large sections of the wall fell.

Thunk~ Thunk~ Thunk~ Heavy footsteps sounded, and a more than three-meter-high Ju appeared before everyone, his neck adorned with "teeth" trophies, all from the powerful opponents he had defeated.

Hong Chu stared at Ju, whispering, "If they can defeat this native, maybe it will draw the attention of even stronger natives inside, then we'll know how many formidable opponents are hiding here."

"Defeat him? Don't be ridiculous, even if it were me up there, it's unlikely I'd be able to win." The Qi Sea-level disciple of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had no hope at all.

This native that appeared is extremely strong, and even a Martial Cultivator at the Qi Sea level has to face him cautiously.

If the native had spiritual pressure, Li Ruofu, Zhou Lan, and others wouldn't even have the chance to escape.

"It's not that there's no way; have them lure this native into my arranged array, and there's a chance to kill him." An Youwei said casually.

Hong Chu glanced at An Youwei and said, "Let's do it this way then; as long as we don't take action, even with the array, the natives will only think it was pre-arranged by them."

He used spiritual power to transmit sound, mixing his own spiritual power with the chaotic spiritual power on the battlefield, directing his voice into the ears of Li Ruofu and others, instructing them to retreat to the location of the array.

"Delicate humans, just surrender obediently! Lord Ju doesn't want to break the toys." Ju shouted excitedly, looking at Li Ruofu and Zhou Lan amidst the crowd.

"I will surely cherish you well, and let you live a little longer." Ju didn't even wield a weapon, stretching his arms and charging at Zhou Lan.

Their attacks landed on him, only barely managing to pause his steps for a moment, unable to cause any significant injury.

Ju's power far exceeds their ability to handle.

"Retreat!" Li Ruofu shouted.

Seeing Ju's formidable strength, everyone didn't want to fight anymore and followed Hong Chu's instructions, fleeing towards the direction of the array.

No need to hesitate, no need to pretend to act out scenes; they were indeed running away.

Everyone continuously traversed through the forest while Ju leisurely chased behind, as if toying with prey, not really caring whether they would escape or not.

The witch's intent was merely for these people not to disturb the ritual being held; there was no command to catch or kill them alive. He could easily toy with them until he grew bored.

Bang~ A tree was kicked down by Ju, quickly flying out and heavily striking a Martial Cultivator, who, despite being injured from the hit, disregarded the injury and climbed up, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood before continuing to flee.

"This is so boring. Won't you stop and fight me?" Ju lost interest in chasing and toying with everyone; it was always him chasing while they didn't resist, which made him feel very bored.

"Let's end this." Ju stopped his steps, reached beside him, grabbed a waist-thick large tree, and forcibly pulled it from the ground.

His arm shook, shattering all the branches and leaves on the tree, turning it into a bare wooden spear, a waist-thick, massive wooden spear.

With Ju's strength, any of these wooden spears thrown and striking anyone would fracture their weak bodies.

"It's over!"

Li Ruofu and Zhou Lan stopped, after running a distance, the others also stopped one after another, turning to look at Ju preparing to throw the wooden spear.

"?" Ju was somewhat bewildered by their words.

Suddenly, the ground lit up with a large area of spiritual light, and arrays of array patterns emerged on the land and trees, with three light chains formed by spiritual power flying out, binding Ju's body tightly, wrapping around all his limbs.

Thunk~ The wooden spear in Ju's hand fell to the ground. Feeling the power unleashed by the light chains, Ju's face changed dramatically as he struggled to break free from the chains binding his body, his face flushing red due to overexertion and Qi blood boiling.

"Give it up! You can't break free of this array." Li Ruofu said, mentally adding, "After all, this is an array set up by a high-level Qi Sea cultivator."

If An Youwei had personally acted, there would have been no need to use the array to kill Ju, but unfortunately, he couldn't take action himself.

Li Ruofu took out her divine weapon, a sixth-grade longsword; their attacks couldn't penetrate Ju's defense, but it was different with the divine weapon.

The function of the divine weapon is to allow weaker Martial Cultivators to have more powerful attacks to deal with those beasts with strong defenses.

Once infused with spiritual power, a sixth-grade divine weapon is sharp enough to break through Ju's defense.

Clang~ Clang~ Clang~ The divine weapon struck Ju's body, causing him to bleed, but emitting a sound like metal collision.

Although it could penetrate his defense, it wasn't enough for Li Ruofu to kill Ju with just a sixth-grade divine weapon.

"Hahaha~ You celebrate too soon!" Ju laughed heartily, seeing their astonished expressions after attacking him.

Creak~ The light chains wrapped around Ju's body were stretched, swelling a bit, causing everyone to retreat, fearing he would break free from the shackles.

Boom! As Ju relaxed, the light chains tightened again, becoming even tighter, and he realized these chains couldn't be broken by his strength alone.
