CHAPTER 255: The Plan
Zhao Hai glanced at Wells and nodded, saying, "Sure, otherwise, big brother would wonder why I need to exchange so many magical beasts and mountain goats. Just transporting those things back would take quite a bit of time."
Wells nodded and replied, "That's great, brother! With this ability, I won't have to worry about food supplies anymore. Come on, brother, let's go out for some goat soup."
Wells was genuinely happy. He had never expected that the brother he had recognized would possess such skills, and those skills were indeed impressive.
In fact, when Wells first decided to take the decapitation blood oath with Zhao Hai, he had selfish intentions. He was eyeing the food resources Zhao Hai held and wanted to use this method to tie Zhao Hai to his chariot.
However, he had to admit that he had underestimated the power of the decapitation blood oath. This oath could almost immediately change a person's thoughts and feelings once established, which was terrifying.
It had been a long time since anyone on the prairie had used the decapitation blood oath. Because of this, Wells underestimated its effectiveness. To him, even his own biological brothers could betray him, so how much effect could a simple oath have?
But he did not expect the oath to be so useful. If it weren't for the power of the oath, he wouldn't have been able to give Zhao Hai that whip. That whip represented a treasured inheritance from the Herculean Bull Tribe, passed down from his father.
It was also because Wells gave that whip to Zhao Hai that Yale decided to give Zhao Hai the Life Liquid. Otherwise, Yale wouldn't have done so, as the Life Liquid was a rare treasure.
The mountain goat used to make the goat soup was the one Wells had killed. This was also a rule of the decapitation blood oath: the mountain goat used for the oath must be eaten on the same day.
Now, Zhao Hai's identity was different; he was now Wells's blood oath brother. Therefore, as soon as they came out, the guards immediately saluted Zhao Hai, showing him great respect.
Zhao Hai nodded to them as well. They had almost finished preparations outside. In the center of the camp, a large pot was set up, simmering with goat soup.
Today was different from the previous occasion. Wells had arranged for several small tables to be placed close together so they could sit there and chat, allowing their bodies to be nearer.
Laura and the others were assigned to other small tables. Now their status was different; for those guards, Laura and her group were considered half-masters.
Laura and her group did not oppose Zhao Hai and Wells taking the blood oath. After all, Zhao Hai would not suffer any losses from this, and he gained a strong ally in Wells. As long as this plan succeeded, no one on the Orc Prairie would dare to touch them again.
After Wells and the others sat down, the guards immediately served Wells some milk wine. Although they knew what had happened in the tribe, no one betrayed Wells. For the orc tribe, as long as they believed you were a worthy leader, they wouldn't betray you casually, even if their relatives were still in the tribe.
Wells raised the milk wine and took a sip. To be honest, he still had a lingering taste of blood in his mouth, which he didn't like. However, it was invigorating, making him feel a rush of adrenaline. But he had to think things through and not act impulsively; he needed to calm down quickly.
After finishing a cup of wine, Wells felt a bit better. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother, this time you really need to help me think about a way to bring Gasol down from his position. You know he has now controlled the Herculean Bull Tribe, which is very unfavorable for me."
Zhao Hai no longer had many reservations. In any case, he was already Wells's blood oath brother and no longer considered an outsider. Helping Wells was the right thing to do.
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Big brother, I don't know much about the situation in the Herculean Bull Tribe. I'm afraid I can't offer much help in terms of ideas; you'll have to rely on yourself."
