Chapter 329 Pearl Island Project
When Xue Nu saw that Bai Jiaojiao had actually "rescued" Lin Yun, she hurried forward to help.
Although Dongfang Hongyue wanted to snatch Lin Yun back, the Snow Girl was prepared. She summoned flying snow all over the sky, forced Dongfang Hongyue back, and pulled Lin Yun back to her own camp.
Looking carefully at Lin Yun's condition, he seemed to be in good spirits and did not seem to be treated harshly, so he felt relieved.
She also didn't know what kind of danger Lin Yun had experienced that night, and how he fought with the Demon Lord afterwards. At this moment, there was only deep concern in her eyes.
"After leaving the secret realm yesterday, I was worried that something had happened to you."
"Don't worry, sister. I just came in and left the same place. I just happened to fall into the ambush of the Central Plains people. Fortunately, I showed weakness to the enemy and was locked up by them for a night. Only then was I able to escape safely."
Lin Yun briefly described his previous combat experience. Overall, it was a mixture of happiness and pain. After all, there was a sword hanging over his head, which was very dangerous.
"I hope you come back safely."
The Snow Girl glanced at Bai Jiaojiao and became much gentler than before.
This guy is still somewhat useful.
Bai Jiaojiao looked arrogant and said, "Hmph, you don't know how brave I was last night. Otherwise, when you looked back, all you would see was a scum of Lin Yun."
After welcoming Lin Yun back, the Snow Girl called in a few more warriors and said, "The people of the Central Plains are despicable and cunning. They agreed to a duel, but they attacked and captured Ayun, forcing us not to attack. Today, we must avenge yesterday's shame!"
The Snow Girl is now full of fighting spirit, and Lin Yun feels a little embarrassed by what she said.
He was captured.
Yuan Ji and Zhang Ling did not feel ashamed of Lin Yun, while Utulu and Bandarawa not only did not look down on Lin Yun, but were very awed by him.
You know, this is a ruthless man who dares to fight against the ferocious tiger of the empire and does not lose.
Although he took advantage of the divine weapon, it also shows that the title of Son of God is not undeserved.
"I think we need to be cautious about starting a war. Although we have the advantage with our current strength, the situation has changed. By the way, where is Balder?"
Lin Yun looked around and found that one person was missing.
Yuan Ji said solemnly: "Bader has disappeared since the trial in the secret realm, and no one knows where he has ended up."
After passing the Book Mountain Trial and leaving through the teleportation formation, one can return by the same route and exit from where one entered.
Those who failed to pass were randomly dropped into various places after the secret realm was broken. For example, Zhang Ling almost fell into the sea.
The same is probably true for Balder!
Everyone prayed for Bader: "I hope he is okay."
But this time he is really gone.
Lin Yun looked sad and said, "I hope he can come back safely."
"Don't worry, he will be able to turn danger into safety."
As Bader's best brother, Uturu comforted Lin Yun.
The Snow Girl was puzzled as to why Lin Yun said that it was not appropriate to start a war.
"If I use my full strength, none of them should be able to resist my divine weapon. Besides, you and I will join forces, so even if there are a few more opponents, there is no need to be afraid. Why should we be cautious?"
The Snow Girl knows Lin Yun's strengths, but she also has weaknesses. Lin Yun holds a clever weapon with amazing lethality, and possesses divine power. He can summon thick fog to blind others' perception. His own attack is amazing, but his cultivation is not good enough and his defense is insufficient.
The Snow Girl is good at defense and restricting enemy actions, but in fact, the lethal spells she casts are not very strong.
The combination of the two is simply a perfect match, and they completely make up for each other's shortcomings. This also reminded her of the image of the Snow Mountain God. The tortoise and the snake are one, the black tortoise defends and the black snake attacks, the two watch out for each other and are already invincible.
This also proves that she and Lin Yun are a destined couple.
The Snow Girl didn't know that the gun originally belonged to her. She was invincible by herself and didn't need Lin Yun.
Faced with the Snow Girl's doubts, Lin Yun had no choice but to bring out the Great Witch.
"In fact, the Great Witch gave me a secret mission for this battle."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the tent looked surprised and suspicious.
Since it was a secret mission, why did Lin Yun tell it at this time?
"The Great Witch said that there is a secret treasure in Shanhaiguan, and ordered us to capture Shanhaiguan and seek the treasure. If we fail, we should destroy Shanhaiguan. But I didn't expect that yesterday was the time when the secret realm appeared. Unfortunately, I was captured by Dongfang Hongyue, and missed the opportunity."
The Snow Girl said quickly, "Ayun, don't blame yourself. Even if you were not captured, we could not have monopolized the secret realm even if we took Shanhaiguan yesterday. Even if the people of the Central Plains were expelled from the city, we could still enter the secret realm. We have already lived up to the trust of the Great Witch by obtaining treasures from the secret realm."
Speaking of this, Lin Yun blamed himself even more and said, "Originally, we got the Classic of Mountains and Seas and a precious pearl, but I didn't expect that the pearl actually recognized Dongfang Hongyue as its master. That's what I wanted to give to you, sister."
The Snow Girl didn't care about the pearl. As long as Lin Yun had this intention, she was happy. Seeing Lin Yun blaming himself, she held his hand and said gently, "It's okay. Treasures will choose their destined people. Maybe the pearl is destined to be with Dongfang Hongyue. However, Dongfang Hongyue actually dared to snatch things from you. I will help you get it back."
"Sister, you are so nice."
Lin Yun also grabbed the Snow Girl's soft and cold little hand.
Her body was always cool, but comfortable to hold.
When the other warriors saw Lin Yun being so close to the Snow Girl, the lemon juice in their eyes flowed back into their stomachs.
Lin Yun looked like he had been comforted by his elder sister and regained his spirits. He said seriously, "Now that the secret realm has been closed, it is meaningless for us to take Shanhaiguan by force. The Central Plains people are capable of this place, which means that the offensive of the southern monster tribe is insufficient. Once they have dealt with the south, they will definitely come to recover the lost territory. By then, we will be unable to resist and Shanhaiguan will have to be returned."
Lin Yun analyzed the battle situation very clearly.
To stop the war in the grassland, it is not enough to just rely on an assumption. Lin Yun continued, "Not only that, I also heard a piece of news in Shanhaiguan that there is a strange man who claims to be the descendant of the King of Zhenhai, who is determined to take Shanhaiguan. It can be predicted that Shanhaiguan will become a place of war. It will be meaningless for us to take it. We can neither use Shanhaiguan as a breakthrough point to enter the heart of the Central Plains, nor can we plunder enough resources from Shanhaiguan. This war will be meaningless."
Xue Nu and others still don't understand that war is an armed struggle for economic and political purposes, not for the sake of fighting.
However, as they listened to Lin Yun's nonsense, although they didn't quite understand, they felt that what Lin Yun said made sense.
"So we're just going to withdraw our troops?"
The Snow Girl only thought of this.
Lin Yun shook his head and said confidently: "No, we will not withdraw our troops. We will change the direction of the battle."
After saying that, Lin Yun took out the Qiaobian, turned it into a small knife, and started drawing a map on the ground.
"Look, this is Shanhaiguan. Beyond Shanhaiguan, there is a mighty city that is difficult to cross. If we take Shanhaiguan, we will not be able to gain anything no matter which direction we attack. However, if we go out to sea and go downstream, we can take this route to raid its heartland."
Everyone followed the route planned by Lin Yun. Zhang Ling interrupted and said, "If everything goes well, we will certainly be able to make achievements going south. I heard that the richest place in the Central Plains is at the mouth of the Long River. It is called Haizhou. It is also the only port in the Central Plains that enters the sea. There is also an island on the sea called Mingzhu Island. This is a way for people in the Central Plains to safely obtain treasures from the sea. If we can take it, it will be better than us conquering the three continents of the Central Plains."
Zhang Ling knew Zhongyuan quite well, and Lin Yun couldn't help but look at him more.
In fact, he also wanted to launch a surprise attack on Pearl Island.
To start a war is naturally to plunder resources. For example, people in the Central Plains might start a war to divert conflicts, but people in the grasslands are more straightforward and just start a war for the sake of robbing.
The people of the grassland have a great demand for food. Whether they are monks or ordinary people, they all need to eat.
The climate of the grassland is not suitable for the growth of crops. Although the spiritual energy is not inferior to that of the Central Plains, food is relatively scarce.
They can't afford to eat rice, so they can only eat meat. Their advantage is that they are given divine power by the Snow Mountain God, so they don't rely on cultivation resources.
The Central Plains has a larger population and less demand for food, so monks can go without food or drink. However, monks need to practice and attach great importance to practice resources. The materials used by Central Plains monks in setting up formations, making talismans, and refining weapons are all non-renewable resources.
The grasslands also produce some materials needed by the people in the Central Plains, and the two sides can trade, but relatively speaking, the Central Plains has more abundant products, vast land, and prosperous development. The desert cannot compare, so they launch wars to rob.
In the Central Plains, food is not the most important thing, but medicated medicine is. The resources within the continent can no longer meet the needs of the people in the Central Plains, so there is the Pearl Island where people go out to sea to dig for treasures and obtain resources.
Pearl Island is controlled by the seven major sects of the righteous path, but the evil sect can also go out to sea, and the two compete with each other. Generally speaking, the righteous path is stronger, and the evil sect can take a part of the market share.
It would be great if Lin Yun could lead his men to take over Pearl Island, even if it was just a quick scramble and then leave.
Firstly, it can establish his prestige in the grassland, and secondly, aren’t the treasures he snatched still his?
"The plan is good, but how can we go out to sea? There are no big ships and the sea is dangerous. These are all issues we need to consider."
Yuan Ji was not fooled by Lin Yun's promise, but raised objections. Lin Yun said calmly: "It may have been a problem before, but we have seized a treasure in this secret land of mountains and seas, which can subdue sea beasts for our use. So, next, we just need to kill some sea beasts nearby, build some ships, and then we can go on an expedition to the sea!"
Seeing that the biggest problem had been solved, Yuan Ji no longer objected, nor was he excited. He just said calmly, "In this case, this strategy can be used."
Seeing that no one objected, the Snow Girl knew that this was a good idea, and she said happily: "Ayun, you are really amazing."
"Next, I'll need Sister to help more."
Lin Yun pinched Xue Nu's fingers, making her blush again.
Seeing her shy look, Lin Yun felt extremely proud.
My cultivation is low now, but I can conquer the world by winning women.
There are limits to being an undercover agent, I want to be the emperor!
