Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Chapter 2700 Encounter in a Foreign Land, Things Have Changed!

At this moment, the players were overjoyed.

Although Hu Zhen is not particularly famous in history, in the mythological world, Hu Zhen fought against the peerless general Lü Bu and survived.

You should know that Hua Xiong was much more famous than Hu Zhen, but Hua Xiong had died once at the hands of Lü Bu. That's the difference!
If they capture Hu Zhen and successfully persuade him to surrender, their player territory's power will definitely rise by hundreds of levels!

"Lord, although we've captured Hu Zhen, we don't know if we can successfully subdue him. But if we kill him, we can get a divine item... That's a tangible benefit... But he's too unpredictable!" At this moment, a player dressed as a strategist jumped out to remind us.

These words happened to fall into the ears of Lin Mu, who had just arrived nearby.

This person's words of advice are truly enlightening; given their limited resources, they simply cannot bear the consequences of Hu Zhen's actions!
Putting aside the Dragon Luck, Hu Zhen was a general under Dong Zhuo. Would Dong Zhuo easily let the player obtain Hu Zhen?

If Xu Rong had been sent afterward, he could have easily brought Hu Zhen back!
"Lord, Hu Zhen's martial prowess far surpasses ours; we simply cannot control him. Moreover, Dong Zhuo will easily recruit Hu Zhen and keep him at our beck and call?"

"They can't be spared, they must be killed!!!" the strategist player said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, the leading player lord began to hesitate.

If Hu Zhen is killed, his whereabouts will be secured, and he can simply take the goods and disappear into the countryside, where Dong Zhuo will be unable to find him.

But if we keep Hu Zhen around, there are too many variables. If he's just feigning surrender and we take him back to our territory, he could wipe out the entire territory by himself once he's freed from control.

After a moment of contemplation, the leader of the players suddenly turned around, swung his broadsword, and slashed directly at Hu Zhen's neck.

This scene was unexpected by everyone, even the strategist player who gave the warning didn't expect the leader to suddenly raise his knife and attack someone.

"Clang!~~~~" Just at this critical moment, a cyan light flashed, and with a clang, a black and gold spear directly shattered the broadsword that was slashing towards Hu Zhen's neck.

"Who?!?" The players exclaimed in shock.

Hu Zhen, who had been captured, also paled drastically. He had almost lost his head.

If the other man forced him to choose between surrender and death, he would definitely surrender. No matter what, integrity is less important than survival. Besides, surrendering to the other man is more flexible and he can easily comply later.

However, he did not expect that the strange man would kill him directly!

"Gentlemen, I'll take Hu Zhen. You may leave now." Lin Mu slowly walked out of the dense forest, with Wang Yue following behind him at a leisurely pace.

"Lin Mu!!!" The players exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Lin Mu.

At this moment, Lin Mu was not pretending. Which player in the China region didn't know this legendary figure?

"Lin Mu, these are our prisoners. Are you going to take them by force?" The leading lord player stood between Lin Mu and Hu Zhen, his voice low and menacing.

"Yeah...you guys can go now. Just consider it money spent on props to save your lives," Lin Mu said calmly.

He then looked at Hu Zhen, who was bound and kneeling on the ground, and grinned slightly.

When Hu Zhen saw Lin Mu's smile, his lips twitched violently, feeling that Lin Mu's smile was sinister and terrifying.

If he falls into the hands of other superhumans, he won't have any problem at all, but if he falls into the hands of Lin Mu, then it will be terrible!

Throwing a meat bun at a dog is like throwing it away—it's gone forever!
Just as the players were about to argue, Wang Yueqing shouted, "Get lost!"

The next moment, a terrifying energy storm surged out, directly blowing away the more than ten people surrounding Hu Zhen, who crashed heavily into the bushes next to him.

Seeing this, Lin Mu smiled slightly, then went over and helped Hu Zhen up.

Other players were afraid that Hu Zhen might be feigning surrender or that there might be some other terrifying aftereffects, but Lin Mu was not afraid.

"General Lin Mu, thank you for saving me... Could you please let me return to the court? I will definitely repay you later!" Hu Zhen seemed to know Lin Mu's purpose, but he still struggled.

"Let's go... Cheng Pu is coming!" Lin Mu ignored Hu Zhen and glanced at the outside of the canyon cliffs, saying quietly.

Actually, the one who truly took Hu Zhen's head was not Sun Jian's man, nor Sun Ce, nor the four divine generals under Sun Jian, but the player who was lying in ambush here!
That's right, Hu Zhen was also killed in his previous life.

However, Hu Zhen was also severely injured by Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and only after fleeing for his life was he finally killed by the player.

This battle was also named by players as the "Battle of the Godslayers in Purple Cloud Valley"!
Back then, the news of the God-Slaying War in Ziyun Valley swept through the entire player community like a whirlwind, shaking all player factions, because Hu Zhen surrendered to the players!

That's right, one second they were so tough, the next they surrendered to save their lives.

In truth, Hu Zhen knew that surrendering to the Yiren and surviving for now, while waiting for the right opportunity to have his lord Dong Zhuo rescue him, was the best he could do. Even if an unequal treaty was signed, with Dong Zhuo's strength and resources, rescuing him from the Yiren would be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

The player broadcasted the moment Hu Zhen surrendered live, which is why it became famous.

Of course, within the indigenous community, Hu Zhen was killed by Cheng Pu. After all, it was Cheng Pu who carried Hu Zhen's head back to the alliance with Sun Jian to claim credit.

Lin Mu knew that what he had just done had been broadcast live, but he didn't mind at all.

Just as Lin Mu had predicted, everything that had just happened was broadcast live, and the live stream became incredibly popular at an alarming rate.

Even Ji Beiqin, Jiang Chenglong, and others were attracted.

As soon as they entered the live stream, they saw Lin Mu carrying the helpless Hu Zhen with one hand. Then the three of them quickly rushed into the dense forest and disappeared in the blink of an eye... leaving only their backs to tens of millions of viewers...

"My lord, what do you intend to do with Hu Zhen?" At this moment, Wang Yue finally understood Lin Mu's purpose.

"Should we have Dong Zhuo ransom them?" Wang Yue's thinking was still limited to a certain level, and he did not understand the way things were done in the Great Wilderness Territory.

In fact, Wang Yue's view was correct. Even if Hu Zhen surrendered to the Great Wilderness Territory, Lin Mu would not dare to let him lead troops into battle. What if he betrayed them again once he went into battle? Although the Great Wilderness Territory had the strength and ability to deal with Hu Zhen, a traitor, it would be time-consuming, laborious, and expensive, which was not worthwhile!

"Shuheng, I have four objectives in joining the coalition of lords to attack Dong Zhuo."

Lin Mu did not answer Wang Yue directly. After glancing at Hu Zhen, who remained silent and did not resist, he continued, "Firstly, one must be listed on the Heavenly and Earthly Lords Ranking to gain the qualification to compete for supremacy over the world."

"Secondly, it is to bring back a few fierce generals to the Great Wilderness territory, and Hu Zhen is just one of them."

"Actually, you are all curious about why I could have left directly and not participated in the subsequent campaign against Dong Zhuo, since our focus is not here."

"But I still shamelessly stayed in Suanzao City, not for any other reason than for one person!"

"Who?" Hu Zhen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Xu Rong!" Lin Mu revealed his purpose in advance.

"Just Xu Rong? Why?" Hu Zhen asked, his expression changing.

Not for Lü Bu, not for Hua Xiong, not for Guo Si, Zhang Ji, or Li Jue, but only for Xu Rong, a very low-ranking and largely ignored figure?!
Is Lin Mu's status high? Actually, it is very high. Although these people look down on people with supernatural abilities, Lin Mu has already transcended a certain realm, and even they can only look up to him.

And the person they look up to, who endures countless scornful looks to remain in the alliance, is it all for Xu Rong?!
Lin Mu glanced at Hu Zhen but did not give a reason.

"The third objective is the people! The suffering people... This is to replenish the population of our Great Wilderness territory," Lin Mu continued.

Upon hearing this, both Wang Yue and Hu Zhen frowned simultaneously.

This purpose sounds a bit strange...

Lin Mu smiled slightly, offered no explanation, and said, "The fourth target, well... it's a secret, not to be revealed."

After that, Lin Mu didn't say anything more, and the other two remained silent as well.

After an incense stick's time had passed, the restraints on Hu Zhen disappeared. Lin Mu put him down and let him walk on his own.

Hu Zhen could only silently follow behind Lin Mu, without any thought of running away. He had a premonition that if he fled, the consequences would be unimaginable…

As Hu Zhen walked, he silently took out healing pills to recover, and Lin Mu and Wang Yue did not stop him.

Soon, they arrived at a canyon shrouded in white mist.

The three of them went straight into the white mist, and the next moment the view opened up, and a wooden wall three zhang high appeared in front of them.

"My lord!!" The three arrived at the wooden city wall gate, where the guards bowed respectfully.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I'm heading straight back to Dragon Valley." After leaving those words, Lin Mu went to the teleportation array. A flash of white light, and the three of them disappeared.

After that flash of white light, it meant that Hu Zhen had completely fallen into the clutches of the Great Wilderness Territory!
Hu Zhen, who had been feeling uneasy all the way, was soon arranged to stay in a courtyard.

Hu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief; it was a good thing that he wasn't locked up in prison.

Later, he learned that there were servants in the courtyard who attended to him day and night, and no other soldiers were constantly monitoring him.

This could be considered... house arrest!

Hu Zhen sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, a wry smile on his face.

"You seem to be... one of Dong Zhuo's generals?" At that moment, a voice came.

Hu Zhen looked up and followed the sound, and found a refined-looking scholar standing on the wall of the courtyard.

When Hu Zhen saw the refined scholar's appearance clearly, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Wang Gongjie!! You... what are you doing here?"

The newcomer was none other than Wang Kuang, who had been captured by Lin Mu!

The reason why Hu Zhen remembered Wang Kuang was that before his lord Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he had figured out all the various forces gathered near Luoyang.

Wang Kuang was ordered by He Jin to recruit soldiers in the prefectures and counties, and then brought them to the vicinity of Luoyang, the capital, to await further instructions.

Before they even entered the capital, their strategist, Li Ru, had already arranged who would deal with whom.

Wang Kuang happened to be the person he and Zhang Ji were jointly opposing!
After He Jin was killed, Wang Kuang and the others disappeared without a trace.

Unexpectedly, I met Wang Kuang in this mysterious place.
