Chapter433-The High Priest's Intentions

"If that's the case, it could be troublesome. I've noticed before that we seem to have some inscriptions on our bodies, like tattoos etched into our skin, without much else changing."

They began to understand that these tattoos were akin to circuit boards.

This meant that as long as they had these circuit boards on their bodies, they would only need to be powered up.

The so-called sunlight and natural forces served as electricity for them.

However, this setup was inherently dangerous.

If they tried to manipulate these powers again, or if the energy within their bodies was completely depleted, they would become nothing more than worthless husks.

This explained why the High Priest held such an exalted position in their tribe.

The High Priest was supreme and untouchable, wielding all power and absolute authority.

If anyone wished to wrest control from him, it would be far from simple.

Everyone realized this, and their eyes were filled with concern as they looked at John.

After all, they were not natives of this world, and there was always the risk of being exposed.

If that were to happen, their very souls could be harmed.

In such a scenario, if their souls were injured, it would mean there was no retreat.

If their bodies were damaged, the only path left would be death.

As these thoughts took hold, their expressions grew solemn.

They looked at John with a mix of doubt and anxiety, unable to suppress their curiosity any longer.

"Do you think we have a chance?" someone finally asked.

John hesitated, then shook his head.

He truly didn't know if they had a chance, nor did he know what to do.

But regardless, he had to try.

This was their only hope of escape, and if they wasted any more time here, it would only lead to more trouble.

"Let's give it a shot. We don't have any other options, and everything else has gone beyond our expectations."

The others exchanged helpless looks but ultimately nodded in agreement.

This was the only course left to them.

If things went awry, they would have no way out.

If this person was beyond his expectations, it wouldn't be easy to resolve.

The chief of the Zebra Tribe might also have ulterior motives.

There was a chance he might betray them.

This was highly possible, as no one truly cared about others' fates.

To them, it didn't matter.

"Divine Envoy, are you resting? If not, may I come in?"

The old, raspy voice outside filled the room with tension.

They knew that nothing good would come from this person's visit, but they didn't dare reveal their unease.

"Come in, I'm not resting yet," John replied, adjusting his posture.

He didn't want to appear weak, especially since he already sensed that something was wrong.

When the person entered, they all drew in a sharp breath.

This was not the same figure they had seen before.

If the High Priest had seemed somewhat dangerous before, now his presence was overwhelmingly ominous.

The High Priest's face, which had been as shriveled as old bark, now looked as though it had been rejuvenated, his skin slowly smoothing out.

The calm expression on his face only made him more terrifying.

They knew that a person's energy was always conserved, unless there was an external force constantly replenishing it.

Otherwise, such a drastic change was impossible.

But now...

They felt the pressure from the High Priest's presence like a mountain bearing down on them.

Their breathing grew labored, except for John, who remained composed.

The others struggled for air, sensing that something was terribly wrong.

But it was too late to escape.

As the High Priest approached, he looked at John with a different gaze, his lips curving into a sinister smile.

"I've heard, Divine Envoy, that you have some new ideas. You wish to gather all the power of the three tribes together. Is that so?"

The others cursed silently.

The tribe chief was indeed shameless!
