Chapter 2594 Crisis at the Mountain Top

"Holy crap... Could it be... could it be that the Vulcan of Mount Fuji, an active volcano, has really arrived?"

"When did my palate become so accurate?" Ji Beiqin exclaimed in surprise.

Sensing the movement, he stopped. He cautiously turned around and looked into the depths of the temple.

"God, if my words are truly effective, then please continue to bring me good luck... I don't ask for much, just let me find one in the temple, just one... a village-building token, a village-building token of a rank no lower than Heaven Rank, that matches my temperament, has a promising future, and is compatible with those three buffs!!" Ji Beiqin said with utmost sincerity, at this moment he seemed to have truly become a fanatical believer in God.

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if an unseen force suddenly appeared, and he felt as if the village-building order was indeed deep within the temple!

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Beiqin gritted his teeth and whispered, "Fortune favors the bold, and no one gets rich without unexpected wealth!"

Originally intending to flee, Ji Beiqin surprisingly ran deeper into the temple...

On the way, he contacted Lin Mu.

"Xiao Mu, how's it going over there? Is the Yamata no Orochi dead?" Ji Beiqin asked.

"It's not that easy..." Lin Mu surprisingly replied instantly.

"The Yamata no Orochi has now transformed into the shape of a mountain and is still in a dazed state. We are waiting for it to recover. The real battle has not yet begun."

"Ah...you're waiting? Why don't you launch a sneak attack?" Ji Beiqin asked, puzzled.

"I don't know, but I can sense that once Orochi gets stronger, the final outcome will be easier to achieve," Lin Mu said mysteriously.

"What are you talking about..." Ji Beiqin was dumbfounded...

“Just like that guy Chi Long, he’s all a bit eccentric,” Ji Beiqin said.

"Did Red Dragon leave you a message at the end? What did it say?" Lin Mu finally couldn't resist his curiosity and asked.

“I left it… I’ll repeat it to you…” After that, Ji Beiqin quickly repeated Chi Long’s message without making any changes.

Hearing Chi Long's message, Lin Mu was filled with emotion... Sure enough, in the end, Chi Long was still trying to prolong the life of the crumbling Han Dynasty.

However, one thing that alarmed Lin Mu was the cause and effect.

If he kills the Crimson Dragon and harvests the primordial dragon fortune and ordinary dragon fortune, then once the cause has blossomed, the fruit will be picked, and all the dragon fortune on his body will be taken away!

"If the Emperor can grow stronger, the dragon's original source of fortune and all the dragon fortune bestowed upon you will be directly absorbed by the Emperor, and then you will regain your identity as the Lord of the Extraordinary..."

These are the Red Dragon's exact words. The key point of this statement is that all the dragon's blessings bestowed upon him will be directly absorbed by the Emperor!
Lin Mu had a premonition that if things were really as the Red Dragon had planned, his original dragon luck and all the dragon luck on his body would be blessed by the Great Han Dynasty. In that case, the Great Han Dynasty might really defy the heavens and rise again, and history would be changed!

And Lin Mu, once again, became an ordinary player lord!

Lin Mu didn't dwell on this matter any longer; everything vanished with the return of the Crimson Dragon.

"How's the situation over there?" Lin Mu asked, changing the subject.

"Hehe... What I just experienced was the most exciting thing in my life..." Ji Beiqin told Lin Mu about the first part of his experience.

"My God... your luck is... incredible!!!" Lin Mu replied in utter shock after hearing Ji Beiqin's description of his experience.

Ji Beiqin possessed considerable dragon luck, but compared to his, it was far, far less. Was his luck inferior to Ji Beiqin's? Impossible… but he had a premonition that if he stayed on the mountaintop, something terrible would happen…

By leaving Ji Beiqin up there, there's no problem...

"Um...aren't you going to ask me about the attributes of the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman]? Aren't you going to take it?" Ji Beiqin asked in a low voice.

He had just told Lin Mu everything, including how he obtained the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman].

"Hehe... It belongs only to you. The [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman] is a divine object, and divine objects possess a spirit. If I were to go there, I might not be able to activate the heroic spirit of the Wei Wu Divine Soldier at all, and I might not even see the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman]..." Lin Mu said meaningfully.

“If I stay on the mountaintop, there might be a great crisis… a crisis even greater than dealing with the Yamata no Orochi…” Lin Mu continued meaningfully.

"This is destiny," Lin Mu's voice rang out softly.

Hearing Lin Mu's rambling words, Ji Beiqin scratched his head, utterly speechless.

"Never mind... No matter what, the harvest you've brought me these past few times has been terrifying. Hmm... I won't accept Xiaoting's dowry from you..." Ji Beiqin started off quite emotionally, but by the end, he started teasing again.

"Oh... no dowry? That's good... I was planning to use 10000 skill learning slots to pay for it... Since you don't want it, then we'll save the trouble." Lin Mu teased Ji Beiqin back.

"What do you mean no bride price? You misheard me. How can we not have a bride price? This is the rule of our ancestors. How can we not follow their instructions? Our ancestors must be respected, otherwise they will not bless you... A bride price is necessary... A bride price is necessary..." Ji Beiqin immediately realized his mistake and forcefully contradicted himself with a self-deprecating argument.

Lin Mu smiled and asked, "Where are you now?"

"By the way, I'd like a copy of the attributes of the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman]." "No problem, just the attributes of the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman]," Ji Beiqin readily agreed.

"I'm still in the temple... There's a huge cave inside the temple. There was a giant snake sleeping there, but it woke up and attacked us. The heroic spirits of the Wei Wu soldiers charged forward fearlessly to buy me time. After running a distance, I found that the cave had turned completely red, with streams of scorching lava gushing out..." Ji Beiqin began to recount the second half of his experience.

"In the dim light, it seemed as if I could see that mysterious fire god..."

"After that, the horned snake seemed to sense something, ignored me, and went to the cave."

"The lava is churning there now, the heat is intense, and the entire temple is shrouded in white mist. I'm hiding here in the cabin."

"You went back again? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Lin Mu said speechlessly.

“I’m not afraid… I feel like I still have a chance…” Ji Beiqin recalled the wish he had made to God, and a struggle appeared on his face as he spoke.

Reason told him that once he obtained the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman], he should withdraw, or even return to Shenzhou to live a peaceful life. He shouldn't be reckless when things are going well.

But... a deep intuition told him that there was still an opportunity, and he had to seize it!
"Be careful, the scenario where you draw fire might happen," Lin Mu said with a sly smile.

"Uh...no way...it feels like I'm invisible, just here to pick up the scraps...and with my small frame, how am I supposed to attract attention? Someone could drown me with a single spit, right?" Ji Beiqin shrank his shoulders, sounding a little timid.

"Anyway, try your best not to die, otherwise the consequences will be severe. You might even lose the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman]..." Lin Mu advised Ji Beiqin as if giving him a heads-up.

"I...I...I'll try my best!" Ji Beiqin said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu sighed inwardly. Perhaps the current Ji Beiqin was remarkably similar to him when he stole the Divine Token from Yinglong Peak.

"Xiao Mu, why can't I put away the boat I'm hiding in?" Ji Beiqin asked.

"Hehe... Of course we can't store it. Our backpacks and ordinary storage items won't work. Also, that broken warship is mine." Lin Mu said solemnly.

"Alright...it's yours...but you'd better come and get it quickly, otherwise the battle might spread here and completely destroy it." Ji Beiqin nodded. He ate the chicken, but he should be kind and leave some soup for Lin Mu.

Lin Mu frowned slightly upon hearing this. Ji Beiqin's backpack and some ordinary storage rings certainly couldn't hold that warship, which was probably at the god-level. It seemed someone would have to go up there!
Lin Mu glanced at Zhao Yun beside him, then whispered to Zhao Yun, "Zilong, the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python is still reviving, so the battle shouldn't start so soon. I need you to go up the mountain."

Zhao Yun is still the most suitable for traveling.

Lin Mu did not use the Kun Stone anchor point at the summit of Mount Fuji... because it gave him a very strange feeling.

"Yes, sir." Zhao Yun agreed without asking why.

"Remember, once you find Ji Beiqin, pack up your things and leave immediately. As for Ji Beiqin, let's see if he wants to stay on the mountaintop. If he wants to stay, let him stay," Lin Mu instructed.

Zhao Yun nodded upon hearing this.

After that, he had Zhao Yun leave with the special ring.

"My lord, have they found anything up there?" Huang Zhong asked in a low voice.

"The Yamata no Orochi's temple has been revealed, and there are many good things there."

"Ji Beiqin obtained a legendary artifact inside: the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman], the root of an epic historical troop type." Lin Mu said with a hint of envy on his face.

It's impossible for him not to want the [Wei Wu Divine Soldier Talisman]. But he also knows that some things cannot be forced.

"What is it on the mountaintop that you, my lord, are so wary of?" Dian Wei asked in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but I feel that it's very... dangerous up there... The danger isn't brought by the Yamata no Orochi, nor by the fire spirits of Mount Fuji... It might actually come from up there..." Lin Mu glanced at the sky and said meaningfully.

"My lord, since you foresaw this, why didn't you use the Dragon Sealing Scroll to seal away all the dragon luck on Ji Beiqin and then transfer it to yourself?"

"If he dies, the Dragon's Fortune might be seized by Huo," Huang Zhong asked疑惑地.

"If Dao Jiu takes away all the Dragon Luck, then Ji Beiqin will be useless..." Guo Jia said calmly.

"Then Dao Jiu will become the target!" Xun You seemed to have guessed something as well...

"Why is our trip to Mount Fuji so complicated..." Dian Wei said with deep emotion.

“The Yamata no Orochi carries too much on its back, how could it not attract attention?” Xi Zhicai said softly.

"If news spreads throughout China that the Yamata no Orochi has clues about Mount Yingzhou, it will likely attract even more covetous eyes. Those who don't know what they've been up to might abandon their previous missions and head straight to Japan," Lin Mu said with absolute certainty.

At that time, cunning old foxes like Master Zixu, and even figures like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Dong Zhuo, and Ding Yuan, would come to try and get a share of the spoils.

At that time, the strongest opponent would be Lü Bu!
(Everyone is speculating: what's the difference between Lin Mu and Ji Beiqin at this moment...? Why does Lin Mu encounter a major crisis when he reaches the mountaintop, while Ji Beiqin doesn't?)
