Chapter 2576 The Mysterious Existence of Mount Fuji
The first point of attack on Mount Fuji was located in the outer peaks of Mount Fuji.

Those lying in ambush there were not historical generals, but some Japanese players.

Because he didn't want anything to happen to the elite troops of the Great Wilderness Territory, Lin Mu didn't plan to summon them this time when he went up the mountain.

The fighting force on this mission consisted of only about ten people.

Now... there are more thugs.

Lin Mu and his group arrived at the foot of a densely wooded mountain peak and saw the swaying trees. Clearly, a considerable number of soldiers were hidden among them…

This is like trying to hide something obvious. It would be better to just deploy troops on the road and intercept them...

However, as Lin Mu and the others approached, a strange energy spread out, a thick smoke suddenly appeared, and then everyone vanished without a trace...

"Lin Mu used one of our Japanese gadgets to become invisible? Damn..."

"Holy crap! Lin Mu not only has hidden weapon items, but also invisibility items. Isn't this a perfect match... How are we supposed to fight... Damn it..."

"No wonder so many NPC cities retreated immediately, now I understand..."

"Our invisibility items are a specialty of our Dongying region and are very popular. They are rarely seen in other regions... I didn't expect Lin Mu to actually get them. Damn it."

In fact, while looting was the main theme of the invasion of the East Japan region by the Chinese region, there were also exchanges and trades.

If Lin Mu can trade with people from the Eastern Japan region, why can't other players do the same? Many business-minded players from both regions are secretly trading with each other.

Whatever is popular in the Japanese region, players in the Chinese region will transfer their resources to it and then buy up the scarce items in the Japanese region – a win-win situation!
Of course, some players also act maliciously, double-crossing each other and making the environment very bad, since the level of trust between the two sides is too low.

In particular, the news of Lin Mu's contract with Orochi sparked further interaction between players in the two regions.

"Clatter clatter clatter!~~~~" Just as the players were discussing, a crisp sound of horses' hooves came from down the mountain, and soon a group of people swaggered up.

"It's just ahead..." Zhang Ji, the leader, glanced at the compass in his hand, then spurred his horse forward. Xu Rong, Zhang Xiu, and the others followed closely behind.

"Shoot them down!!!" At that moment, a dense rain of arrows suddenly emerged from the bushes on the mountain peak.

However, when Zhang Ji and his men thought the arrow rain was aimed at them, they discovered that the arrow rain only covered the area in front of them.

Zhang Ji and Xu Rong exchanged a glance, as if they both guessed what was going on.

"We can't let Ji Beiqin get killed by those guys, charge!" Zhang Ji ordered forcefully.

"Kill!" Xu Rong and the others followed Zhang Ji and charged directly into the dense jungle.

"Buzz!!!" Three enormous beams of energy surged outwards, exploding directly into the jungle.

Zhang Ji and his two companions unleashed their power, and the bushes and thickets ahead instantly erupted in howls of agony.

"Buzz!!!" However, before they could stop, Zhang Ji and his group simultaneously put away their weapons, took out longbows, and began firing continuously into the air in front of them.

Their objective was the same as that of the enemies in the jungle before them.

"They may have already gone up the mountain..." Zhang Ji and the others quickly fired ten volleys of arrows, blasting most of the mountain in front of them to pieces, but to no avail.

"Their target should be that being on the mountain, whose aura is incredibly powerful yet harbors a violent and tyrannical force," Xu Rong said, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Keep pushing... the time the strategist gave us is running out," Zhang Ji sighed.

“Ji Beiqin escaped too quickly… I thought those strange people would cause him some obstacles and delay him, but I didn’t expect them all to be hiding in this foreign country,” Zhang Xiu said dejectedly.

“Now, what we fear most is the schemes of Lin Mu, our backer… I have a feeling they will take advantage of us…” Xu Rong sighed as he looked at the devastated mountainside.

"Never mind... Charge!"

After that, Zhang Ji led his troops in a rampage, and neither the steep mountains, the rugged mountain roads, nor the jungles teeming with hidden enemies could stop them.

Their combat prowess was extraordinary, completely overwhelming the enemies blocking their path.

However, to their horror, the enemy charged forward recklessly, risking their lives to wear them down.

“There are at least tens of millions of superhumans ahead. It seems they originally intended to wear down Ji Beiqin and Lin Mu’s group, but they didn’t expect us to come and hold them off…” After Xu Rong and his group fought their way through two mountain peaks, they gradually came to their senses.

“There’s no other way. We have to keep killing. We don’t have the means to find Lin Mu and his group in hiding. We only know they’re nearby. We can only go along with their scheme,” Zhang Ji sighed.

"Hey...you guys are pretty enlightened..." Just then, a strange yet very familiar voice rang in their ears.

When Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Rong heard the figure, it was as if it were right beside them, and their hair stood on end instantly.

They slowly turned their heads and were surprised to see Lin Mu standing just ten feet away from them.

A group of a dozen or so people appeared silently; how could this not terrify them?!

In particular, nearly ten powerful forces, like ancient beasts, enveloped them, making them feel as if they could not move at all...

Clearly, it would be too easy for Lin Mu and his group to kill them!
"You guys should appear later, right..." Xu Rong suppressed the fear that suddenly arose from nowhere and asked in a deep voice.

“We originally wanted you guys to be our henchmen, but we’ve discovered that there are just too many superhumans ahead. If we relied on you 103 people, you’d be fighting your way through the ages…” “So we’re revealing ourselves to help you out.”

"Sigh... You don't need to say anything. How about we talk about it after we reach the top of the main peak?" Lin Mu said meaningfully.

Zhang Ji and the others seemed to understand the meaning behind Lin Mu's words. After exchanging glances, they reluctantly accepted Lin Mu's suggestion.

The pursuer has become the pursued's henchman, which is a bit shameful... but there's nothing he can do, he can't win!

Zhang Ji and his two companions glanced deeply at Huang Zhong and the others beside Lin Mu, and the fear in their hearts rose again...

How come they seem fine on Chinese social media... but after coming to a foreign land, I can feel their ferocity, like a prehistoric beast...

And so, about a hundred men began their fearless charge.

Lin Mu, alone with a gun, charged straight towards the third mountain peak.

He brandished his spear and began to relentlessly reap the lives of the Japanese players.

Even knowing Lin Mu's strangeness and the dire consequences of being killed by him, the Japanese players still rushed forward without hesitation.

Their goal is to wear them down!
"General Lin Mu, why not just cross over there and instead harvest these ordinary soldiers here?" After quickly breaking through three more mountain ranges, Xu Rong couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

Upon hearing Xu Rongxiang's question, a glint of light flashed in the depths of Lin Mu's eyes, and he then said calmly, "They are stalling, we are delaying."

Hearing this, Xu Rong glanced helplessly at the mountains that were still quite a distance away and sighed softly.

What Xu Rong didn't know was that Lin Mu was also secretly watching him.

Originally, Guo Jia and the others planned to have Xu Rong and Zhang Ji lead the charge, gradually wearing them down. However, after some deliberation, Lin Mu changed his mind and revealed himself to fight alongside Xu Rong and the others.

The reason for doing this is quite simple... Lin Mu has taken a liking to Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu!

Although they are Ji Beiqin's enemies, if we change our perspective, aren't they also his comrades-in-arms?

They fought side by side, forging friendships and showcasing Lin Mu's strength and depth, planting a seed in their hearts...

Just as Lin Mu had predicted, Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, and the others stopped being wary of Lin Mu and his group as they fought. Yu Jin, Zhou Tai, and the others were already familiar with Zhang Ji, Xu Rong, and the others, and after a series of cooperative battles, they became even more acquainted.

Lin Mu protected Ji Beiqin and Guo Jia, and did not act as a "third wheel," leaving most of the time and space for them to catch up and exchange information to understand the details.

After slaughtering millions of soldiers, Yu Jin, Xu Rong, and others got the answer they wanted.

Zhang Ji and his group didn't want Ji Beiqin's life, but rather something from him. Zhang Ji didn't know what it was.

You need to speak with Ji Beiqin, hand him the strategist's secret pouch, let him examine it on his own, and then decide what to do next.

It wasn't a pursuit, it was just a transaction... No wonder Li Ru only sent Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, and the others. They were more composed, lacking the fierce and arrogant nature of Hua Xiong's group.

"Then why were you shooting arrows so wildly just now? Luckily we dodged quickly, or you would have riddled us with holes," Yu Jin teased after hearing the situation.

"It's just to expose you. With your strength, we can't do anything to you."

"Did you go up the mountain to kill the being at the summit?" Xu Rong couldn't help but ask.

“Yes… General Lin Mu has received a mission from Heaven, and he needs to kill it,” Yu Jin said in a low voice.

"The aura of that being seems to be close to that of the legendary Heavenly General... Is it feasible?" Xu Rong asked in a low voice.

Although they were somewhat afraid of Huang Zhong and the others, they knew that Huang Zhong and the others were not at the level of the Heavenly General.

"Roar!~~~~" Just as Yu Jin was about to answer, a huge roar resounded.

The continuous mountain range, even the main peak whose summit cannot be seen, was shaking.

"What happened?" Everyone looked puzzled, and a serious expression appeared on their faces.

"Roar!~~~Roar!~~~"

"Roar!~~~"

Then, the roars continued, intermittent, as if they were conversing...

"Something that can cause the heavens and earth to tremble and giant peaks to shake—could there be an even more terrifying existence hidden in this mountain?" Xu Rong asked in shock.

"Whoosh!~~~" Soon, Lin Mu and the others gathered together, standing on the mountaintop and gazing at the towering peak in the distance, all in silence.

"My lord, on Mount Fuji, it seems there's more than just the Yamata no Orochi..." Guo Jia's expression turned somewhat grave.

If the area is filled with historically renowned generals from the Eastern Kingdom, Guo Jia has no problem with that. But if there are even higher-level beings hidden in the mountains, then things will be bad.

Their cautious actions stemmed from their concern that perhaps higher-level beings were lurking within the islands of Japan…
