Chapter 2577 The Yamata no Orochi, Not an Indigenous Being

They had fought the Yamata no Orochi before and knew that the Yamata no Orochi couldn't possibly make such a commotion.

To be honest, Lin Mu didn't know much about Mount Fuji either. And no one had ever dared to go and kill the Yamata no Orochi during this period.

The storyline involving Yamata no Orochi takes place later in the story; it's about a guy who came down from some mysterious place and killed Yamata no Orochi.

Even players in the Japanese region don't know much about those storylines... let alone people from other regions.

“No wonder our lord is so cautious…” Yu Jin sighed softly.

"The appearance of this being might disrupt our plans..." Guo Jia sighed softly.

“Yes…we need to create the impression that we will kill the Yamata no Orochi, so that those hidden guys will come out and destroy the temples and statues that the Yamata no Orochi has secretly set up that we don’t know about,” Xun You said, frowning.

Lin Mu and his group destroyed the temples and statues that were visible in the open. They did not know whether there were any hidden ones, so they needed some strategies to save the country indirectly.

Many feudal lords in Japan may not truly worship or submit to the Yamata no Orochi, but are merely forced to comply out of fear of its power. Now that a group has the ability to kill the Yamata no Orochi, perhaps those same people will not offer help in its time of need, but instead take advantage of its misfortune!

This is the weakness of human nature that Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai grasped.

Lin Mu and his group traveled across the island with great difficulty, not only to destroy the temples and statues on the surface, but also to express their determination and demonstrate their strength, while giving the feudal lords an excuse to leave Mount Fuji.

And so... they just followed their script.

Now... a transcendent being has suddenly appeared, revealing variables to the world, and the plan is now full of uncertainties.

Just then, the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book in Lin Mu's arms suddenly began to vibrate.

Lin Mu turned around discreetly, quickly took it out and glanced at it, then put it back.

"Oh no, the formation on the tenth day of the lunar month has been discovered!" Lin Mu's expression changed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Rong and the others were intrigued, while Lin Mu's side had already set up an array nearby.

It's important to understand that Li Ru had to unite numerous secret forces and pay a heavy price to successfully plot against the Crimson Dragon, setting up tens of thousands of various formations. Now that Lin Mu is plotting against another country's national treasure beast, he will obviously also need formations to assist him.

However, what Xu Rong and the others didn't know was that Lin Mu's side only had Xu Yuan setting up the formations, and there were only two formations; there were no other auxiliary formations...

"What?" Guo Jia and the others were slightly shocked.

Xu Yuan's formation, the [Three-Bend Divine Interception Formation], is a key main force!
Inside, there was also a formation that absorbed the blood of the Yamata no Orochi and divine crystals to eliminate the bloodline curse.

"My lord, so what if they've discovered us? Let's not waste any more time and charge straight in," Huang Zhong said in a deep voice, his face full of fighting spirit.

"Given the current situation, our only option is to charge straight in, then hold off the Yamata no Orochi while we set up the formation," Guo Jia agreed.

"Buzz!~~" At this moment, the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book in Lin Mu's arms vibrated again.

Lin Mu turned around again to check.

Seeing this, Ji Beiqin and the others behind him curled their lips. Who doesn't know that you have some kind of prop that allows you to communicate remotely... This is unnecessary.

"Such a thing is true?" Lin Mu turned around, and after reading the message, he didn't turn back immediately. Instead, he remained silent for a long time before exclaiming in shock.

"Mt. Fuji is a volcano, perpetually filled with intense fiery energy."

"Until the Yamata no Orochi appeared and took over this place, turning it into a place filled with poisonous gas and covered in snow," Lin Mu said slowly, his words carrying a deeper meaning.

"The Yamata no Orochi isn't the true master of this place; it's just a usurper's place?" Guo Jia asked, a look of astonishment on his face.

The stories circulating in Japan say that the arrival of the Yamata no Orochi (or Yamata no Orochi) created the majestic and sacred Mount Fuji.
Also, where are the records of what happened before the arrival of Yamata no Orochi?!
"Has the master now contacted Chu Shi?" Xun You asked with a strange expression.

"Yes... that Yamata no Orochi has a hidden temple inside the volcano of Mount Fuji, that's its true home."

"No wonder it didn't panic when it knew we had destroyed so many temples and statues and made a big fuss about slaughtering it," Lin Mu said with sudden realization.

Logically speaking, if the Orochi knew that Lin Mu was going to sever its roots, it would have already launched a sneak attack on Lin Mu and the others from Mount Fuji.

But this guy only gathered the best talents in the world on Mount Fuji, guarding it tightly, and did not take the initiative to attack.

This doesn't fit the character of Yamata no Orochi.

"Moreover, the Orochi Heavenly Festival, besides harvesting the incense offerings of the world, also aims to plot against the original owner of the volcano, who is the Lord of the Flame God Path. He wants to restore his nine heads!" Lin Mu said with certainty.

"This guy... hasn't succeeded after all these years? He's a disgrace to our land." Xun You, knowing about the Orochi's situation, scoffed. "In other words, we have local reinforcements now?" Ji Beiqin couldn't help but speak up.

“This native creature communicated with Chu Shi, perhaps wanting to use us to kill the Yamata no Orochi,” Xun You said.

"It's obvious, but since we share the same goal, we might as well cooperate," Guo Jia said calmly.

As Xu Rong, Zhang Ji, and the others listened to Lin Mu and his group's discussion, they had a feeling that their success rate was actually increasing with time. This was the opposite of their plan to seize the Crimson Dragon.

“In that case, we can proceed with the plan,” Lin Mu said meaningfully.

"Let's go, charge straight up there, no need to get entangled with these trash. I'll contact them over there as we go." Lin Mu waved his hand and began an even more ferocious harvest, wielding his spear.

Taishi Ci and Huang Zhong immediately cleared a path with arrows and began to bombard those who stood in their way.

With their firepower fully unleashed, the Japanese players simply couldn't hold them off, and large gaps kept appearing.

In fact, all the Japanese players who came here had accepted the epic quest from Orochi: [Defend Mount Fuji and slay the intruder Lin Mu!]

The rewards for this mission are unprecedentedly generous for Japanese players, so many players are lured here.

In addition, these Japanese players who gathered here also wanted to participate in the battle to kill the Yamata no Orochi. If Lin Mu really defeated the Yamata no Orochi, they might get the last kill and get the loot, which would be awesome.

"Take a gamble and you might win big"—this is the mentality of most Japanese players who come here, just like Liu Feng, the top lord in the China region.

However, after experiencing Dong Zhuo's schemes, Liu Feng, Jiang Chenglong, Xuan Yuan Changying, and others were like frightened birds and did not come to participate.

Under the watchful eyes of the world, Lin Mu and his group swept through the enemy lines, easily breaking through the blockade of several mountain ranges, and arrived directly at the true main peak of Mount Fuji.

However, Lin Mu and his group did not ascend the mountain from the front.

Because many historical figures from the Japanese peninsula were stationed there.

Lin Mu took the mountain path from the side, and it took him quite a while to reach the foot of the mountain on the other side.

"Damn it, from a distance it looked so lush and green, I thought it was an ancient forest, full of ancient trees. But when I got closer, it was all bare ancient trees. And that green wasn't the green of leaves, but green poisonous miasma!" Ji Beiqin said with a look of disgust after arriving at the foot of the mountain and seeing the situation of the mountain peak in front of him.

"Xiao Mu, how do we get here?"

“It’s almost twice the distance to the mountaintop temple, and there are no historical warlords from the Japanese region guarding this place,” Lin Mu explained.

Lin Mu twitched his nose slightly, his brows furrowing. The pungent smell in the air, along with the irritating, toxic power emanating from it, continued to spread.

This is the true training ground of Orochi!

"The poison of miasma is nothing to me," Guo Jia said calmly, showing no fear of the thick, poisonous miasma that permeated the mountain path.

“There are also many places with miasma in Jiaozhou, and they are no less dangerous than this,” Xun You said calmly.

"Hey...look, that should be a grade seven ore. Due to environmental changes, it may have changed as well. Maybe it's a rare poisonous ore..." Lin Mu exclaimed in surprise when he saw a piece of ore on the mountain that was shining with a crystal-clear green color.

“It seems… this place must be rich in minerals. After all, it’s the number one mountain in Japan,” Ji Beiqin replied.

"Besides minerals, the number one mountain in Japan must have many other treasures, but unfortunately we don't have the time to explore them right now," Lin Mu said regretfully.

"Let's go. With divine energy and celestial power protecting us, we can get through this easily," Lin Mu said, waving his hand.

"Uh... What about me... I'm not a Heavenly Rank Martial General!" Seeing everyone erecting what looked like incredibly thick protective shields, Ji Beiqin panicked.

“I’ll take you with me…” Just then, a deep voice came from behind.

Everyone looked and saw a burly, dark-skinned man, as large as a bear, walking towards them.

"General Dian Wei, the Protector General? What are you doing here?" Xu Rong exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the newcomer.

"Oh... Zilong and I came here at the invitation of General Lin Mu."

Ji Beiqin's eyes lit up at that moment. Dian Wei, a super fierce general!!!
"Alright, this is no time for idle chatter, let's go." Lin Mu took the lead and charged directly up the poisonous mountain path filled with miasma.

Along the mountain path, traces of human activity can still be faintly seen, such as broken steps, low and dilapidated earthen temples, and broken walls and ruins of railings, etc.
