Chapter 1987

"What kind of flaw?" Liu Jin asked with curiosity.

The Elf Queen smiled faintly. "As you all know, Great Shaman Bai has never been harsh with us. He always slowly integrated himself into our lives, teaching us right from wrong. But the persona I played seemed aloof and cold. Thus, the difference in personality is the flaw."

"Is being cold a personality trait? Even if it is a flaw, so what?" Liu Jin truly didn't understand.

"The avatar is actually an expression of another side of the true self. My coldness implies that Great Shaman Bai’s gentleness is fake. They will surely believe they have grasped Great Shaman Bai’s weakness, thinking he controls Lucky Forest for selfish purposes. Naturally, they will want to take action." The Elf Queen analyzed with a smile.

Liu Jin and Gan Lang hesitated, unsure of what to say. They knew the truth, but the others did not. Moreover, aloofness and pride were indeed the Elf Queen’s natural traits. It was understandable for others to make such guesses since they didn’t know Great Shaman Bai was played by her.

"I really want to see their expressions after they fail," Gan Lang concluded.

Liu Jin pondered for a moment and nodded. "I also wonder what their expressions will be after failure."

No one knew what those expressions would be. However, it was true that the Dark Forest and Happy Garden were currently discussing an attack on Lucky Forest.

"If Great Shaman Bai’s avatar is truly cold and aloof, it means his usual gentleness is a facade. This suggests he is not entirely selfless regarding Lucky Forest and has private interests. If he has private interests, he will be easier to deal with," Wu Xie, representing the Dark Forest, joined the discussion.

After listening to Wu Xie’s analysis, Wu Shang paused briefly before speaking. "Brother, do you mean we should try to bribe Great Shaman Bai’s avatar?"

"Lucky Forest has abundant resources, which we need. We must control them. If Great Shaman Bai’s avatar truly has private interests, we can negotiate sharing these resources with him," Wu Xie said, displaying his merchant nature.

"But, Brother," Wu Shang disagreed. "You must realize that if Great Shaman Bai repels us, he can possess the entire Lucky Forest alone. Since he can have it all, why would he agree to share? I don’t think he would be happy with this topic."

Wu Xie nodded slightly at Wu Shang’s words. "Wu Shang, it seems you are starting to think things through. Normally, he would not agree to share. But remember, he is only an avatar. Great Shaman Bai’s true body is missing, but that doesn’t mean he is dead. Think about it: if the true body returns, can this avatar still monopolize the resources here?"

"Brother, you want to turn the avatar against Great Shaman Bai’s true self?" Wu Shang looked at his brother in disbelief, never expecting such a bold idea.

Wu Xie nodded with a smile. "It is the best method. We will only share with the avatar. Do you think he will be willing or not?"

"People are inherently selfish. Since the avatar exists as an individual, it naturally desires its own resources. I think Wu Xie’s suggestion is worth trying," Ruan Mengtuo spoke up from the side. "However, meeting Great Shaman Bai’s avatar is not easy right now. He hides within Lucky Forest. Getting him to come out will be difficult. Moreover, if we haven’t agreed on cooperation, he might attack us."

Ruan Mengtuo was not speaking nonsense; her words were well-founded.

Wu Xie hummed in agreement. "So, our first step is to lure Great Shaman Bai’s avatar out."

"But whether it is the true body or the avatar, Great Shaman Bai hides within Lucky Forest. The forest is now shrouded in white mist, likely due to something he did. Breaking through this barrier will not be easy," Wu Shang pointed out the current difficulty.

Wu Xie hummed again. "That is why I specially invited Lord He Ru."

"she Ru? Do you mean Lord she Ru, one of the Dark Forest elites, known for her military talent?" Ruan Mengtuo asked. She had heard of this name with great respect.

Wu Xie nodded again. "Neither Wu Shang nor Garden Master Ruan has directly faced the elites of Lucky Forest. Lord He Ru is different. He has confronted Lucky Forest’s elites multiple times, so he is very experienced. Having him join us will surely double our effectiveness."

Pausing, Wu Xie added, "Furthermore, our main goal this time is to turn Great Shaman Bai’s avatar. Therefore, you must cooperate well with Lord He Ru. Absolutely no individualism. Understood?"

"Understood," Ruan Mengtuo and Wu Shang replied. Last time, they were helpless against Great Shaman Bai’s avatar and had to return without success. But now, with He Ru present, even if Great Shaman Bai refused to betray Lucky Forest, He Ru could hold him off for a while, giving them a chance to attack.

"Most importantly, Lord He Ru is skilled in formations. You mentioned last time that entering the mist zone made it impossible to find the way out. I suspect it is a formation. With Lord He Ru, I can rest easier," Wu Xie continued.

Wu Xie’s intelligence was indeed high; he had prepared for every aspect. However, they never imagined that Great Shaman Bai’s avatar did not exist at all.

Upon learning that the Dark Forest and Happy Garden were preparing to attack Lucky Forest again, the Elf Queen gathered key figures for a meeting, including Zhu Yanyi and others.

"Yanyi, how is the learning progress of our Lucky Forest citizens?" the Elf Queen asked directly.

"Students surpass their teachers, Your Majesty. The citizens of Lucky Forest are very smart. They can infer many things from one example, so their academic performance is excellent. What they lack now is combat experience," Zhu Yanyi said honestly.

The Elf Queen nodded with satisfaction. "I have received the latest news. The Dark Forest and Happy Garden are preparing and will attack our Lucky Forest again soon."
