Chapter 23: Sortie

In times of war, extraordinary means are used. Only by controlling the coastline can he go all out to clear that group of high-level monks from the Flame South Continent.

After Lin Chenyu went to the Flame Beast Forest, Lin Chentian asked Lin Chenhu to deploy all the armies in a unified manner, Lin Chendong pretended to sit in the Continent Lord's Mansion instead of himself, and Lin Chenhui reasonably allocated resources from all parties. And he himself personally inspected the whereabouts of the gang of thieves.

At the foot of Miaofeng Mountain, an old man dressed in animal skin chopping wood, holding a not-so-sharp axe, walked slowly on the mountain road. Along the way, he searched for all kinds of elixirs and food, and threw them into the basket with his backhand. Everything looks so ordinary, so skillful!

A group of people from the Yannan Continent used the principle of darkness under the lamp to lurk in the Xuanyin Cave of Miaofeng Mountain, and arranged secret sentinels at various points on the mountain. Today, Ding Liu, the secret whistle of the Spring and Autumn Gate, who has nothing to do, is lying on the branch in a daze. He was born as a bandit, and this time he followed the team to Tianlei Island to seek wealth.

Before Lin Chenxiao died, he could still go down the mountain to rob the past merchants. Now he can only shrink on the boring ridge and be an eyeliner, which makes Ding Liu feel very dissatisfied. But he only has the strength to build the foundation, and there is only a dead end to resist the order.

Anyway, no one came to check, and Ding Liu fell asleep in a daze.

The old man chopping wood groped slowly, hoping to find enough food to get home before dark. Soon, he came directly below Ding Liu.

"Ouch!" the old man slipped and fell.

The screams woke up Ding Liu, who was sleeping on the tree, only to see him open his eyes and turn over to look down. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw an old man trying to get up.

The old man slipped again in fright at the sudden laughter, which made Ding Liu laugh even more unscrupulously. The old man didn't want to cause trouble, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ding Liu, who jumped off the tree.

"Hey, old man, what's in the back basket, take it out and let the uncle see!" Ding Liu said as he chewed on the grass roots.

"No, it's nothing, it's all food, the family is out of food, go up the mountain to find something to eat. The old man shuddered.

Ding Liu stepped forward and grabbed the old man's neck and said, "If you want to take it out, take it out, there is a lot of nonsense!" After speaking, he snatched the old man's back basket and poured out all the contents inside.

"A bunch of, phew!" Ding Liu looked at these worthless mountain goods and spat out. "Hey, this is, this is Ganoderma lucidum!"

Ganoderma lucidum is an elixir that is of great benefit to the monks in the foundation building period, and Ding Liu unceremoniously picked it up and carried it into his arms.

The old man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ding Liu's left arm and said, "You can't take it away, it's my wife's life-saving medicine!"

Ding Liu pushed the old man away and said, "Phew, this mountain belongs to Uncle Ben, you took Uncle Ben's things, and you still want to rob them?"

"You, you, you, bandit!" the old man scolded by pointing at Ding Liu's nose.

"Old immortal, are you coming hard?" Ding Liu said again, grabbing the old man's neck again.

"Hey, hey!" the old man suddenly laughed weirdly.

"Smack!"

The old man not only broke free from Ding Liu's shackles, but also pinched Ding Liu's neck with his backhand.

"You, you, who are you?" Ding Liu looked at the old man in horror, and his foundation building period monk was pinched to death with a backhand. Apparently this old man is not simple.

"It doesn't matter who the old man is. Answer the question honestly, otherwise, you will be worse off than dead!" the old man said with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Okay, just ask, the little one must know everything. Ding Liu was really scared, and immediately changed his role.

"Who are you, what are you called, where are you, what are you doing here?" asked the old man.

Ding Liu didn't dare to hide it, and replied: "Little Ding Liu, a member of the Spring and Autumn Gate Law Enforcement Team of the Yannan Continent, sleep here, sleep! You must have heard of the reputation of the Spring and Autumn Gate, and you don't think you will offend the Spring and Autumn Gate because of your little cheap life!"

"Well, I've heard of the Spring and Autumn Gate, and I really don't dare to offend. The old man said with a smile.

Ding Liu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "If you have something to say, can you let go of the little one and let the little one take a good breath!"

The old man seemed to be pinching tighter, Ding Liu showed a painful look on his face, and hurriedly begged: "Senior, senior, the little one is out of breath, hurry, let go!"

"If you can't breathe, don't gasp!" The old man didn't give Ding Liu any chance to speak, and pinched Ding Liu's neck with a hard pinch.

Simply hiding the corpse, the old man looked at the top of the mountain, his eyes shrunk, and he said to himself: "Sure enough, it's still here, it's really your family that Lin Zhou can't be!"

At this moment, Lin Chenyu was at the edge of the pillar veins of the Flame Beast Forest. The Fire Beast Forest is full of all kinds of demon beasts, which are basically named after the word Yan. For example, the flame rat, the flame wolf, the flame leopard, etc., because in the center of the forest, there is a natural lake, and the fire on the lake water beats, which causes all life in the whole forest to have its own fire attribute.

The entire Fire Beast Forest is divided into three main areas, the Pillar Vein Forest, the Eaves Vein Forest, and the Flame Lake Forbidden Area. The group of high-ranking monks from the Yannan Continent was on the edge of the Eaves Vein Forest, close to Nanling Town. In order to ensure Lin Chenyu's cultivation and safety, the green robe brought him to this pillar vein forest far away from unstable factors.

After a few days of familiarization, Lin Chenyu gradually understood the surrounding environment. At present, the area is basically full of demon beasts in the foundation building period and below, and the strongest of them is the wolf pack led by the late foundation building period. Wolves are social animals, a group of wolves up and down the foundation building period, and their attack power can compete with that of human Jindan mid-stage monks.

Lin Chenyu didn't want to provoke this group of demon beasts at the first time, but he carefully hunted other demon beasts.

As Lin Chenyu slowly went deeper into the Pillar Vein Forest, he found more and more heaven and earth elixirs. On this day, there was a seedling under the root of a huge tree, and on the seedling there was a fiery red fruit that exuded a strong aura. Luck was too good, Lin Chenyu knew through the Heavenly Emperor's Materia Medica that this was a just ripe Yan Jing Fruit. This Flame Crystal Fruit was enough to break through to the early stage of Jindan. Lin Chenyu was very excited.

However, he didn't know that there was a pair of demon beasts with green light in the dark, closely watching his every move. Seeing that he had found the Flame Crystal Fruit, the demon beast immediately disappeared into the bushes.

Generally, the heaven and earth elixir spirit fruit is guarded by high-level cultivators, Lin Chenyu carefully inspected the surroundings, and did not find strong aura fluctuations. It should be the guarded demon beast who went out to forage for food, just in case, Lin Chenyu immediately picked the Yan Jing Fruit, and after taking it, he began to meditate and refine the spiritual power in it.

About six or seven miles away, the Flame Wolves surrounded a huge stone bull beast. The Stone Ox Beast is one of the few demon beasts in the Fire Beast Forest that does not start with the word Yan, because they have been rolling in the mud next to the Yan Lake all year round, so they are covered with a thick layer of Yan Stone. The Stone Bullmon is huge, belonging to the heavy tonnage level of demon beasts, and is basically not afraid of the attacks of most predatory demon beasts.
