Chapter 203 Showdown
The next morning.
On one of the trunk branches of the home tree.
Xu Mo woke up from a cocoon bed.
Looking at the huge home tree on the side.
It was quite dark last night, so I didn't feel much of it yet. Now that it's dawn, I can feel the shock firsthand.
The giant tree that blocks out the sky and sun is like a large village, with cocoon beds lying horizontally between each branch.
By this time most of the Na'vi people had already gotten up.
After all, we are a primitive tribe. There are no entertainment facilities at night, so we generally go to bed early.
"woke up?"
Neytiri's voice came from the cocoon bed next to her.
Breakfast is a palm-sized purple berry that tastes similar to a peach.
In the hall beneath the Home Tree.
"Xu, can we have a few words alone?"
Jack glanced at Neytiri who was standing next to Xu Mo, and then at a strong Na'vi man standing next to him, and said with a wry smile.
"sure!"
Xu Mo nodded and asked Neytini to wait for him in the distance.
He and Jack came to a jungle a few hundred meters away from the home tree.
"You became the chief of the tribe?"
After confirming that no one was around, Jack asked excitedly.
He still clearly remembered the scene where the Na'vi people knelt down to Xu Mo last night.
"It's the next chief!"
Xu Mo corrected him and glanced at Jack opposite, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
He can naturally guess what the other party is looking for.
Jack is different from me, he has a human body.
After the Avatar falls into a deep sleep at night, his consciousness will naturally return to the human body.
Presumably, he has already reported what happened last night.
Now Jack is still on the human side.
Moreover, he can be regarded as Colonel Miles's man.
Hearing Xu Mo's words, Jack nodded. This was almost the same as Professor Grace's analysis last night.
In their analysis, although the other party has been favored by Ava, it is impossible to directly become the chief of the tribe. It should take a period of time to become familiar with the tribe before becoming the chief.
"Professor Grace and Colonel Miles have something they want me to tell you!"
Jack looked around and said softly.
"explain!"
Xu Mo did not show any surprise.
He could have asked the tribesmen to send him away this morning.
But after thinking about it for a while, he changed his mind.
If he were to be driven away, without hope, Miles would probably resort to violent eviction in a short period of time to mine the ore under the home tree.
In comparison, it would be better to leave Jack behind as he is now.
Use him as a mouthpiece to talk to the other party and delay time.
What I need most now is time to develop.
Judging from the talent of the Na'vi, as long as he gathers most of the warriors from the forest tribe and passes on the cultivation method, it will only take a few months at most to have the strength to confront the current human troops on Pandora.
After all, the humans on Pandora are just interstellar fleets sent by the RDA company.
Even those soldiers were just some private armed forces hired by the company.
There are no weapons that are too powerful.
"Professor Grace asks you to try your best to bring her into the tribe!"
"That's no problem, I'll give you the order later!"
Xu Mo nodded.
Having watched the original drama, he knew very well that from beginning to end, Grace did not agree with the company's plan to violently expel the ore from mining.
And whether the other party comes or not has no impact on the overall situation.
Seeing Xu Mo's readily agreed, Jack breathed a sigh of relief.
Yesterday, he had learned that Xu Mo's human body had died long ago. The one in front of him was just a copy of the other party's memory. The humans in the base were afraid that the other party would side with the Na'vi.
So he no longer ignored the orders from the base.
But now it seems that those people obviously thought too much.
Thinking of this, he immediately stated Colonel Miles' request.
"Colonel Miles's order is to find a way to lead these Na'vi people away as soon as possible!"
After saying that, he turned to look at the huge home tree behind him.
"The company has detected that beneath this giant tree is the area with the densest ore reserves within a radius of several hundred kilometers!"
Hear this.
Xu Mo had a disguised look of embarrassment on his face.
"I have just said that I am just the next chief. These Na'vi people may not necessarily follow my advice on this kind of thing!"
"certainly!"
Jack nodded in agreement.
"The company has also taken this into consideration!"
"They gave them three months. If it doesn't work..."
At this point, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"After the current chief dies, you will naturally become the new chief. It is better for one person to die than for most of the tribe to die in the war!"
When Xu Mo heard this, he lowered his head and showed a trace of confusion.
After a moment he looked up.
"Tell the company to give me five months!"
"If we can't talk about tribe migration by then, I will adopt the method you mentioned!"
…
Inside the Home Tree.
Xu Mo, Neytini and her parents were sitting in a room.
The chief of the tribe, Etukon, stood up suddenly.
"You mean, humans will attack our tribe sooner or later?"
"That's right!"
Xu Mo nodded.
Clicking a few times on the tablet in his hand, a holographic projection appeared in the air between the few people.
It showed the Home Tree and the distribution map of mineral resources below.
He took this thing from Grace.
Yesterday.
He brought the other party into the tribe.
"What is this?"
The high priest Chashik looked at the image in the air with a puzzled look on his face.
Xu Mo pointed to the mineral distribution map below the Home Tree.
"These things are the targets of those sky people, and if you want to dig them out, the first step is to knock down the Home Tree!"
"Impossible, we will never allow this to happen!"
Neytini, who was sitting next to Xu Mo, spoke angrily.
"Of course, no Na'vi will allow this to happen!"
Xu Mo comforted the other party.
Then he changed the holographic projection screen to a video of various human flying attack ships fighting.
Seeing the huge power of the shells fired by the attack ship, Etukang's expression became extremely solemn.
Being able to become a chief, he was naturally the most brave and warlike among the Na'vi people at that time. After seeing the power and defense of these attack ships.
He knew in his heart that with the current combat power of the tribe, there was no resistance in front of these attack ships.
Finally, he raised his head suddenly and looked at Xu Mo opposite him.
"You tell us this, are you trying to persuade us to leave this home where we have lived for decades?"
