"Cousin!"

Lin Ze turned around and saw Lin Yingning walking towards him quickly.

"I have something I want to tell you. ”

As soon as Lin Yingning's words fell, he heard Lin Ze say, "Is it the matter of the beast control stone?"

Lin Yingning looked stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, obviously being said by Lin Ze.

When she came back to her senses, she nodded hurriedly and said, "That's right, it's about the beast control stone." ”

"I have discussed this matter with the elders, and we all feel that this war is a bit strange, obviously the strength of Yanlong City and Burning Emperor City is almost the same, and the two sides can't help each other, so they have been confronting each other, and now Yanlong City has suddenly taken action to break this stalemate, we suspect ......"

Lin Yingning didn't continue, but Lin Ze already understood what she meant, in fact, when he heard from Guo Xiaozhi that Yanlong City was planning to start a war, the same thought flashed in his heart.

Since Yanlong City dares to take the initiative to provoke a war, then it must have a powerful weapon in its hand that can change the balance of strength between the two sides, and this weapon, if nothing else, is the beast control stone.

In this way, Yanlong City's previous move of sending a large number of people to carry beast control stones to various villages can be explained, and there is no doubt that it is preparing for war.

"The Beast Control Stone is a big deal, we must keep it a secret, and we can't let Yanlong City know that we have ever obtained the Beast Control Stone. Lin Yingning said with a solemn expression.

"I understand. Lin Ze nodded.

"You've been in the mining area for a long time, so when you finally come back, you can rest in the village for a few days and walk around. ”

After finishing business, Lin Yingning's expression slowed down slightly, and he chuckled at Lin Ze.

"No, I'll go back later, there are still three months before the war starts, and I have to improve my strength now. Lin Ze shook his head and said.

Lin Yingning glanced at him in surprise, and then said with a smile: "I just heard Captain Guo say, cousin, you have already ignited half of the ring of fire, at that time I thought that your cultivation talent is really amazing and enviable, now it seems that your strength can be improved so quickly, and it is also inseparable from persistence and hard work, this willpower is really admirable." ”

Lin Ze smiled when he heard this, but didn't speak, in fact, if he wasn't a player, his talent would probably not be as good as Lin Yingning, who was the real genius of this world.

After chatting for a while, Lin Yingning left in a hurry.

Since she became the leader, first the battle with the Fire Bear Village, and then the Red Obsidian Leopard**, followed by the war with the Burning Imperial City not long after, ** came one after another, making her so busy that her feet did not touch the ground, and even the time for cultivation was much less.

The safety and development of the entire village depend on her, and the weight of the burden on her shoulders can be imagined.

Looking at Lin Yingning's departing back, Lin Ze sighed slightly and left the conference hall with him.

Without stopping in the village, he went straight back to the mine.

There were still three months left before the outbreak of the war, and in addition to the time to hurry, he still had at least two and a half months to cultivate, which was enough to increase the conversion rate of the Fire Yuan Body by a few more percentage points, breaking through to more than 40%.

"It's a pity, if it weren't for the lack of fire source stones, I would have been able to cultivate the fire element body to Dacheng in less than half a year, and at least I would have the strength of a quasi-saint by then. Lin Ze felt a slight regret in his heart, thinking about whether there was a way to get a large number of fire source stones.

Taking advantage of this war, invading the mining area of the hostile village can quickly obtain a large number of fire source stones, but the fire source stones are inconvenient to carry, and he can't stay in the enemy's mining area all the time to absorb the fire source stones, so this method is also very reluctant to execute.

While thinking, Lin Ze unconsciously returned to the mining area, shook his head to dispel his thoughts, and turned his head to immediately devote himself to focused cultivation.

The fire source stones quickly turned into pieces in his palm.

......

Somewhere in the plain about ten miles from Firefox Village.

A tall man dressed in gray leather armor and full of a fierce aura casually threw aside the tattered beast corpse covered with scorched scars, looked at his companion who was looking into the distance, and asked in a deep voice, "What are you looking at?"

As he spoke, the centipede-like scar on his face twisted and became more and more hideous.

"How many of these villages will survive this battle?" Scarface's companion, a middle-aged man with a somewhat vicissitudes on his face, suddenly asked.

The scar-faced man sneered disdainfully and said, "It doesn't matter how many of them he can survive, as long as he can capture the Burning Imperial City, what if they are all destroyed?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him, and after a few silent breaths, he suddenly laughed: "That's what I said." ”

"It's you, why did you promise Firefox Village to reduce the number of people who went to war. The scarface man looked at him dissatisfied, "Without Fire Bear Village, it would have been difficult for us to gather enough manpower, how can we complete the task without persecuting other villages?"

The middle-aged man said unhurriedly: "Firefox Village is only a medium-sized village, it is impossible for them to send warriors according to the standards of large villages, even if they want to be persecuted, they can't be forced to a desperate situation, the quota of 70 warriors is already limited, if there are more, they will definitely resist, and the missing part will be filled by other villages at that time, there are a few more people in each village, and it is not difficult to make up the number." ”

The scarface snorted, but didn't refute it.

The middle-aged man said to himself: "After the order is conveyed to all the villages, we will set off for the Hegu Plain, which is the battle line that the adults attach the most importance to and devote the most effort to. ”

"Although there is a beast control stone this time, our strength is much stronger than that of the Lie Imperial City, but it is not enough to form a crushing advantage, it is difficult to achieve a huge advantage on three fronts at the same time, it is almost impossible, so the adults have concentrated most of their forces on the River Drum Plain, and the other two fronts are just feints. ”

"As long as we can quickly defeat the army of the Imperial City on the front of the River Drum Plain, we can take advantage of its unpreparedness and drive straight in, and victory in the war will be within reach. ”

The scar-faced man said coldly: "The premise is that the other two fronts can hold out until that time." ”

A treacherous smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face: "The dispatched forces of all the affiliated villages in Yanlong City have been allocated to those two fronts, it is unlikely that they will win, but it is not difficult to hold the front for a while." ”

Of course, in order to achieve this goal, heavy casualties are inevitable.

He added secretly in his heart.

In the distance, there was another oozing beast roar, and several black shadows rushed towards the place where the two of them were.

"These annoying guys!" Scarface spat on the ground and killed him head-on.

"It's a quick deal, we have to go to the next village. ”
