Lin Ze settled down, got out of bed and came to the window, pushed open the window and looked out.

Between the warehouse area and the mine, many miners carrying rattan baskets are walking back and forth, like industrious worker ants, converging into a dense flow of people connecting the two places, and the crisp knocking sound faintly floats in the mine in the distance, and the whole mining area is filled with a hot atmosphere.

At this time, more than a month has passed since the destruction of Fire Bear Village.

During this time, Firefox Village secretly repelled a lot of coveting, and finally really controlled the two large ore veins in their own hands and embarked on the track of rapid development.

Lin Ze now has almost nothing to do in the mining area except for cultivation, saying that he is in charge, in fact, no one will attack the mining area without a long eye, and the only thing that can do this kind of thing has been wiped out by him with a big fireball.

So he's very idle now.

Of course, Lin Ze was not disgusted with this, but rather very satisfied, so that he would have plenty of time to cultivate the Fire Yuan Body.

Thanks to the rich harvest of clearing the forced dungeon, his strength has now stepped into the heroic level, but he is still invincible in this dungeon world.

You must know that the fire source level is quite heroic, and in this world, there must be a fire element body master, that is, a strong person who has reached the peak of the fire source level, at least there must be this kind of character in Yanlong City, if you meet a strong person with a fire source body, even if it is Lin Ze, you are not sure that you can defeat it.

What's more, there may be an existence in this world that transcends the level of fire source.

Therefore, cultivating to improve his strength is still a top priority for Lin Ze.

"The Fire Source Stone is almost depleted, and we have to go get a new batch. ”

Recovering from his contemplation, Lin Ze glanced at the few remaining fire source stones in the cabinet, turned around and pushed open the door of the house, and walked towards the warehouse.

Warehouse area.

Shi Wenjie, the deputy manager of the mining area, was counting the fire source stones, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure appearing, turned his head to look, and found that it was Lin Ze, and hurriedly put down the affairs in his hand and greeted him.

"Steward Lin!" Shi Wenjie said hello, wiped his sweat by the way, and his white and fat face was full of sweat, "But you're here to get the fire source stone?"

Since Lin Ze entered the mining area, he has spent more than ninety percent of his time in the house to cultivate, and he rarely comes out unless the fire source stone is exhausted, so when he saw him appear here, Shi Wenjie immediately thought that he was coming to get the fire source stone.

"That's right. Lin Ze bowed his head slightly.

Seeing this, Shi Wenjie smiled slightly, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to go down and get a batch of fire source stones.

"What's going on lately?"

While waiting, Lin Ze and Shi Wenjie chatted casually, and asked casually on the way.

He asked casually, but Shi Wenjie really nodded and said, "There is indeed a more important thing in the past few days. ”

Lin Ze was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"Someone from Yanlong City is here!"

Yanlong City?

Lin Ze's heart moved, wouldn't it be for the matter of controlling the Beast Stone and Fire Bear Village?

After a pause, he continued, "What are they doing here?"

"It seems that it is for the sudden collapse of Huoxiong Village, I heard from the people in the village that yesterday, the two Yanlong City envoys specially went to the old site of Huoxiong Village to check it out. ”

"Then, did they find anything?" Lin Ze feigned interest.

"I don't know. Shi Wenjie shook his head, and then pursed his lips, "According to me, they can't find anything at all, the Fire Bear Village was destroyed by meteorites, and it was not artificially destroyed, what can be found?"

Lin Ze nodded quietly and asked, "Then where are they now?"

"Still in the village. ”

While speaking, the two villagers had already carried a heavy box of fire source stones, seeing this, Lin Ze didn't say much, and after thanking Shi Wenjie, he returned to the wooden house with the box.

Closing the door, Lin Ze returned to the bed and sat down, took a fire source stone from his hand, held it in his palm and rubbed it gently, and a contemplative look flashed on his face.

At the moment of the destruction of Fire Bear Village, all the clues have been broken, and Lin Yingning and the others will not be stupid enough to tell the envoy of Yanlong City about the Beast Control Stone, no matter how carefully the people of Yanlong City investigate, it is impossible to find any useful clues, let alone link the matter to him.

After combing through everything and making sure that there would be no clues pointing to him, Lin Ze was sure in his heart, and he restrained his distracting thoughts and concentrated on cultivating.

However, before a fire source stone could be absorbed, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Steward Lin!

Lin Ze opened his eyes, frowned slightly, jumped out of bed and opened the door to see that it was one of Shi Wenjie's subordinates who knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Someone from the village has come, and now at the entrance of the mine, the stone steward has told me to come and tell you to go. ”

Lin Ze's eyes moved, but he didn't say anything, but said, "I know, it's over." ”

Throwing the fire source stone back into the box, Lin Ze closed the door casually and walked towards the entrance of the mining area.

When I came to the entrance, I still came to an acquaintance, Guo Xiaozhi, the deputy captain of the hunting team.

As far as the eye can see, the open space in front of the entrance of the mining area is already filled with more than a dozen carts, and the miners and a group of members of the hunting team are working hard to carry the fire source stones to the carts.

This is a convoy to transport the fire source stone, every half a month, the fire fox village will send a convoy to transport the fire source stone mined in the mining area back to the village, accompanied by members of the hunting team to escort, Guo Xiaozhi and Qin Kuan The two deputy captains are taking turns to lead the team, but at this time it is usually received by Shi Wenjie, Lin Ze does not come forward, this is the first time he and Guo Xiaozhi met in the mining area after the Red Leopard incident.

Before he arrived at the entrance, he saw Lin Ze coming from a distance, Guo Xiaozhi stepped forward quickly, slapped his shoulder hard, and grinned: "I heard that you kid has been locking himself in a wooden house to cultivate, almost staying at home, this momentum is very good, it is really admirable, if those little cubs in the team have half of your perseverance, I don't have to worry about it all the time!"

Guo Xiaozhi has always been very arrogant, rude and straightforward, Lin Ze has long been used to it, he smiled slightly when he heard the words, and did not speak.

Guo Xiaozhi didn't care, laughed, and asked, "How is it, how much has your fire ring lit now?"

"About half. ”

"One, half!?"

Even with Guo Xiaozhi's big heart, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and an inexplicable look of surprise appeared on his face.

Several members of the hunting team who were close together shook their hands, and almost dropped the boxes in their hands and smashed their feet.

Ignited half of the ring of fire, wouldn't that be a high-level fire ring?

Guo Xiaozhi looked at Lin Ze in shock, speechless for a long time.

How long has it been since Lin Ze was promoted to the Fire Ring level and defeated the Fire Bear Village in the competition? Less than five months, right? Half of the Fire Ring was ignited in such a short period of time, this talent was simply demonic.

You must know that he went from being promoted to the Fire Ring level to lighting half of the Fire Ring and stepping into the high level of the Fire Ring level, but it took him a full six years!

Guo Xiaozhi secretly exclaimed, collected his shock, looked up at Lin Ze, and said with a smile: "If the leaders and elders know about this, they will definitely be very happy!"

This is true, no village will dislike too many geniuses and too strong, the more demonic the talent Lin Ze shows, the happier the high-level leaders of Firefox Village will be.

Lin Ze nodded noncommittally, glanced at Guo Xiaozhi, and couldn't help but have a bad thought in his heart.

If he told Guo Xiaozhi that he had broken through to the fire source level, how would he react?

Of course, Lin Ze just thought about it, he wouldn't really say it, lighting half of the fire ring in less than five months can still be explained by genius, but lighting all the fire rings in less than five months and being promoted to the fire source level is not something that can be explained by outstanding talent, even if it is the most outstanding genius in Yanlong City, the cultivation speed is far from reaching this speed, and spreading it will inevitably cause a lot of unexpected trouble.

In view of this, Lin Ze is ready to spend a period of time gradually 'improving' his strength externally, and when his strength is strong enough, even if his true strength is perceived, there is no need to worry.

Many thoughts flashed in his mind, Lin Ze's face remained unchanged, and he asked, "You came this time, are you looking for me?"

"That's right. ”

Guo Xiaozhi simply nodded, "There is a major meeting in the village, and the leader asked me to inform you to go back by the way." ”

Lin Ze's expression moved: "It has something to do with the envoy of Yanlong City?"

"That's right, there's nothing good going on with those guys every time they come. Guo Xiaozhi pursed his lips, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with the envoy of Yanlong City.

"What happened?"

Guo Xiaozhi hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Anyway, you will know at the meeting, and it is nothing to tell you in advance...... War is coming. ”

"War?" Lin Ze was slightly stunned.

Guo Xiaozhi then said: "It's a war with the Liehuang City, Yanlong City is preparing to start a war with the Liehuang City, and this time the messenger is sent down in order to gather the various villages to send soldiers to participate in the war." ”

Lin Ze was stunned, he didn't expect that someone from Yanlong City would actually come for this matter.

He had often heard the name Burning Emperor City, after all, it was the old enemy of Yanlong City.

There are many villages in this world, but the big cities are extremely rare, no more than five fingers, and there are a large number of villages around each big city, and the relationship between the two sides is usually one of shelter and shelter.

Ayutthaya shelters the attached villages, which come to the aid of the latter when they encounter an irresistible tide of beasts or enemies, while the villages receive shelter in exchange for a monthly resource payment and sending warriors to fight in wartime.

Yanlong City and Burning Emperor City are the only two large cities within a radius of thousands of miles.

Even the villages attached to the same big city will have constant conflicts because of the competition for survival and cultivation resources, and the relationship between the two big cities is naturally not much better, or even worse, fighting all year round, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mortal enemy, both sides dream of destroying the opponent, and then occupy each other's huge territory and resources, just because of the difference in strength between each other, they have not made a big move under some scruples, and they have been facing each other until now.

In recent years, although there has been constant friction between Yanlong City and Burning Emperor City, there has been no large-scale battle, but judging from the fact that Yanlong City specially sent envoys to various villages to gather warriors, this situation seems to be about to change.
