Chapter 2609 Xun You's Terrifying Nature

After instructing Yu Jin, Zhou Tai, Le Jin, and others to arrange temporary subordinate territories, Lin Mu contacted Zhou Zhen, Ya Ning, Xin Hua, Hua Guo, and others to learn about the affairs of the Muhuang Group and the Dahuang Guild.

After that, a lone figure rowed slowly through the sea of ​​blood, aimlessly...

And just like that, three days passed.

A lone ship drifted in a sea of ​​blood, without danger or direction. Lin Mu was in no hurry. He used the pages of the Qiankun Mother-Child Book to understand the situation outside and used the communication system to manipulate actions outside.

"Scorched earth... Heh... Why not try a different way to plunder Japan?" Lin Mu said calmly as he gazed at the vast, endless sea of ​​blood after finishing his business.

Guo Jia and others analyzed the scorched-earth policy and then instructed their lord, Lin Mu, to initiate the "Evil Wind" plan.

That's right... This evil wind was stirred up by the Three Gods of the Great Wilderness Territory!

Using self-interest to corrupt people's hearts!

In present-day Japan, the worship of the Yamata no Orochi has been lost, and the people's hearts are weak. Moreover, the wars between various countries have caused immense suffering to the people. If they are given something to strive for, they will definitely be able to unite as one.

Of course, overthrowing the feudal states was impossible. After all, they were the upper class, controlling wealth, resources, and talent. They also controlled the most powerful troops and the strongest generals. The common people of Japan simply could not overthrow the feudal states.

Guo Jia and others analyzed the situation, but they didn't plan anything in that direction.

Since we can't overthrow the power of the feudal states, let's try a different approach: devour their basic resources and currency, thus weakening Japan's national strength in a roundabout way.

After the evil winds have blown for a while and the scorched earth strategy has crumbled, they will begin to plunder the cities.

Lin Mu's thoughts raced, filled with deep emotion. He greatly admired the strategy devised by Guo Jia and the others. Because this was economic warfare!
He hadn't reminded them of this; it was all a judgment made by the three of them based on the current situation in Japan.

It begins with the invasion of supernatural beings, then slowly erodes the native inhabitants of Japan. After that, if the enemy fails to react in time, it moves on to the middle-ranking nobles...

They combined plunder with trade to seize the wealth of Japan!
"Buzz!!!" Just as Lin Mu was pondering, the originally calm sea of ​​blood was stirred up by a ripple.

The next moment, an unfamiliar figure suddenly appeared at the bow of the ship. It was a figure about the same height as Lin Mu.

Yes, it was just a silhouette. His facial features and limbs were very blurry, as if they had been pixelated.

Xu Yuan, who was rowing the boat, had disappeared. Because he was still inside the great formation, he could be teleported out to check the situation outside.

"Who are you?" Lin Mu asked in confusion.

"I am the god of volcanoes," the visitor said calmly.

"Oh...it's you...how did you get in here?" Lin Mu asked, puzzled.

"This is a projection of myself. I am here only to ask you to take action and destroy this sea of ​​blood," the God of Volcano said calmly.

"Oh... destroy this place? But how could I, a Heavenly Rank Martial General, possibly destroy this place? I've been trapped here for three days..." Lin Mu shrugged.

Just then, Lin Mu suddenly changed his tone and said, "Your true form was devoured by the Yamata no Orochi, wasn't it?"

"You..." The God of Volcano stammered, unsure of what to say.

"Your fate has run its course!" Lin Mu said quietly, a glint in his eyes.

"Orochi has devoured me, so he will have the status of a celestial being. He will be able to take advantage of the fortune of the Eastern Kingdom and rise to the rank of a Heavenly General. Aren't you afraid?"

"Once it advances to become a Heavenly General, none of the formations you've set up will be able to imprison it for long... At that time, you will all die, and the world will be plunged into endless war, with countless lives lost!" The God of Volcano pointed at Lin Mu and earnestly advised.

"You should still have a backup plan, right? Use your trump card first. If that doesn't work, I'll use mine." Lin Mu said with a slight smirk.

The god of volcanoes was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. Why was this guy so unyielding… and he showed absolutely no reverence for the lord of the gods…

The scariest thing is, how did Lin Mu know he had a backup plan!
"Poof!~~~~" At this moment, the once quiet sea of ​​blood suddenly began to surge.

"Oh no, Orochi has been promoted to the Heavenly General!!!" the God of Volcano exclaimed.

Without guiding Lin Mu any further, the God of Volcano vanished again in a flash.

"Chu Shi, you were used by this guy before." Lin Mu said calmly to the air.

"No wonder!" The next second, Xu Yuan's figure slowly appeared.

"It secretly infiltrated the center of the sea of ​​blood during my plan to set up the formation."

"It's looking for the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python's dragon crystal!!!" Xu Yuan said with certainty.

The Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python was actually in the process of metamorphosis. It hadn't completely transformed into an azure dragon because its body was still that of a snake-dragon, not yet fully transformed into a true dragon. However, the Nine-Headed Azure Dragon Python had already condensed dragon crystals.

This is something Lin Mu and Xu Yuan sensed after entering the Blood Sea.

Within the sea of ​​blood lies the dragon crystal of the nine-headed azure dragon python! However, its exact location remains unclear. The projection of the God of Volcanoes is also secretly searching for it.

Previously, the true spirit of Yamata no Orochi might have been within the Blood Sea, which is why it didn't make a big fuss. Later, after the former left the Blood Sea, the latter began a large-scale search.

This is also why Lin Mu and Xu Yuan were not attacked after they entered.

If the true spirit of Orochi were here, it would definitely attack Lin Mu immediately.

A Heavenly Rank Martial General with terrifying opportunities is like a child holding a gold mine compared to a High-Rank Divine General.

"My lord, will the God of Volcano cause trouble within the formation?" Xu Yuan asked with some concern.

"It's alright... As long as the bloodline array is intact, everything else is fine." A glint of light appeared in Lin Mu's eyes as he said calmly.

Xu Yuan's expression changed slightly upon hearing his lord's words. The Sealing and Divine Restraint Array had indeed malfunctioned...

"This battlefield is no longer just a battlefield between our Great Wilderness Territory and the Eight-Headed Serpent, but a battlefield involving five parties!"

"The Great Wilderness Territory, the Yamata no Orochi, the local lords of Japan, the God of Volcanoes, and that group of mysterious people!" Lin Mu calmly analyzed.

"My lord, the battle outside is still ongoing, but everyone's condition is alright," Xu Yuan reported.

"I didn't expect Guo Jia and the other two to be so resilient..." Lin Mu joked.

"The Battlefield of Cursed Divine Crystals, has Gong Tu not yet been captured?" Lin Mu asked softly.

"Not yet... The body of the Cursed Heavenly Serpent was basically destroyed, but suddenly a blood-red color spread, and it returned to normal. The two sides then began to keep at odds..." Xu Yuan shook his head and said.

"Who do you think will be the first to cut down the Divine Crystal Serpent?" Lin Mu asked with great interest, showing no concern for the others' situation.

“Gong Tu Hansheng are both top-tier divine generals, Zilong’s divine domain has a great advantage, and Fengxiao and the others are also very mysterious, so it’s really hard to say.” Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, but still had no answer.

"It seems you don't know them very well either. The most likely person to be taken down isn't Gong Tu, Han Sheng, or even Zi Long and Feng Xiao... I guess it might be Gong Da!" Lin Mu said leisurely.

……

The battlefield between Xun You and the Illusionary Heavenly Serpent.

"You can't defeat me in a fight; you can only be worn down by me. Why don't you run away?"

"This is a pointless, suicidal battle..." The giant snake head kept bombarding Xun You, while simultaneously trying to break his spirit with words.

But Xun You was no ordinary man; he wouldn't be fooled by a snake. However, Xun You didn't respond, nor did he utter a single word.

He kept dodging while channeling his reading power, as if waiting for something.

"Damn it! Damn it! Are you mute?" the Illusionary Heavenly Serpent continued to mock.

Gradually, the Illusionary Serpent realized that this person from Shenzhou was very familiar with the rules of the Illusionary Realm!

He didn't even fall for the illusionary traps it created.

Gradually, the Illusionary Heavenly Serpent became agitated, its body twisting and turning, suppressing Xun You's space to dodge.

The battle on the battlefield grew increasingly violent, and Xun You also began to unleash his power, wielding a long sword, causing dense streams of scholarly energy to ripple around him, forming sword barriers.

However, what the Illusionary Heavenly Serpent didn't know was that Xun You, who should have been scrambling to avoid it, was currently standing on its head.

The Illusionary Celestial Serpent was not attacking the enemy; it was lying on the ground, its body undulating and roaring.

After searching for a long time, Xun You, standing on the snake's head, finally spoke calmly: "Finally found it... The divine crystal is not in a fixed place, it is constantly circulating... How interesting."

The next moment, Xun You suddenly drew his long sword from his waist, thrust it forward, and then pulled it open, leaving a large gash from which jet of dark blood gushed out.

Its blood exuded a thick black aura and a corrosive smell.

"Ding!!" A moment later, a crystalline flash appeared, and Xun You flicked his sword, gently prying out a fist-sized, crystal-clear gemstone from the pillar of blood...

"Done!!!" Xun You put away the divine crystal and sheathed his longsword.

Afterwards, he remained calmly standing at the snake's head.

The Illusionary Celestial Serpent was still writhing, roaring and uttering words to tempt Xun You.

“To die without knowing why might be a good thing,” Xun You said leisurely.

Just as Lin Mu had predicted, Xun You was the first to seize the divine crystal!
