Lin Chen felt that he was about to be dizzy, and when he thought about it carefully, it was very simple!

It's not the soil, it's the insects and the temperature.

The possibility of temperature is slim, but the likelihood of insect infestation is not low. The family may have examined this reason, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the possibility can be ruled out.

It's really moth-eaten, that's easy to do!

Lin Chen quickly called up the "Friends" function, opened the search, and entered the two keywords of insects and a radius of 100 meters.

Surprisingly, nothing was displayed on the screen.

Lin Chen was stunned, it wasn't a soil problem, it wasn't an insect-eaten problem, could it be a temperature problem?

But the temperature can really be felt, it's not high at all!

"No, maybe it's not bugs, it's something like that. ”

Lin Chen searched again and changed the bug to a creature.

The screen flickered, and countless photos appeared. All the photos are fiery red, fist-sized mice.

Counting the number of photos, there are more than 50 such mice within a radius of 100 meters.

"It can't be the ghosts of rats, right?"

Lin Chen's heart moved, the red loess soil is special, and the only plant that can survive in it is the Wind Spirit Tree. Similarly, there are only a handful of creatures that can survive inside. Since these fiery red mice appeared in groups in the Wind Spirit Tree area, it undoubtedly showed that they were not affected by the red loess.

Lin Chen decided to find one out first and use "Scan" to check the information, and immediately used the search function to continuously shorten the distance with one of the little red mice.

"All underground?"

What Lin Chen didn't expect was that no matter how he adjusted his location with the help of the search function, the nearest one was always around twenty meters.

This undoubtedly shows that these little red rats are either in mid-air or underground.

There is no doubt that the probability of being underground is as high as nine in nine.

Digging a pit is definitely not possible, otherwise, it will definitely be discovered by the patrols.

In this way, if you want to know the situation of this little red mouse, you can only use the "Friends" function to add these little red mice as friends.

"One hundred WeChat points! It's really going to be spent, and there are only more than four hundred points left......

Lin Chen had some pain, but he had to add it. The Wind Spirit Tree has all withered and fallen into this state, and if you don't think of a solution, the entire Lin family will have to finish playing.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Chen added one of the little red rats as a friend.

Flame Rat: A first-class spirit animal

Opinion: 60

Current location: 19 degrees 23 meters in the lower left.

Advantages: Rapid burrowing, high temperature flames, and infinite strength in teeth and claws

Disadvantages: Extremely low defense and attack

Preferences: I like to eat withered and rotten spiritual materials

Aversion: Hates cold and wet environments

After seeing the information of this little red mouse, Lin Chen completely understood.

"In the final analysis, the decay of the Wind Spirit Tree is due to the temperature. It's just that it's not affected by the weather, it's affected by the temperature of the ground. ”

Needless to say, it must have been this group of flame rats who fell in love with the fragrant Wind Spirit Tree, and then decided to live in groups below the Wind Spirit Tree area. First, use the problem of its own flames to bake the roots of the Wind Spirit Tree, so that the Wind Spirit Tree slowly withers and decays, and then feasts for a while.

The reason is known, and the culprit is clear, and the next thing is naturally the solution.

Although this flame rat is only a first-class spirit animal, it lives underground all year round, and it is not easy to catch it.

After calling up the information of the flame rat and glancing at it, Lin Chen immediately had an idea.

Ice water!

As long as you pour more ice water into the ground, you can meet both cold and dampness, which are the two most disgusting conditions of the flame rats. Although it can't kill them, it's easy to get them to abandon the Wind Spirit Tree and flee elsewhere.

Lin Chen let out a long breath, and a boulder hanging in his heart finally fell.

Wind Spirit Tree, saved!

"Since there is salvation, it will be easy to do. Next, all you need to do is tell the patriarch the cause and solution. Of course, the benefits and benefits that should be fought for must also be maximized. ”

Lin Chen completely relaxed, called up the "Friends" function, checked the current location of the patrol, and then bypassed them and climbed over the wall.

After repeating the old trick and avoiding all the dark sentinels, Lin Chen went straight to the direction of Lingyun City.

It took more than ten days to return to Lingyun City, and Lin Chen only took two days to get it done.

Just as Lin Chen entered the Lin family's residence, the patriarch Lin Chao'an's mansion, and the tightly blocked carriages came in and out.

If someone had been following and looking, they would have noticed that the carriage had entered directly through the back door and then stopped directly in the lobby.

Immediately afterwards, after being inspected by the guards at the entrance of the lobby, a large wooden box was moved from the carriage into the lobby.

After entering the lobby, the large wooden boxes were opened. The contents are sure to surprise people.

is so low-key and careful, so rigorous and scrutinized, but what is contained in it is not gold, silver, jewelry, spirit beasts, and spiritual materials, but ordinary books.

That's right, it's an ordinary book, not a martial art.

There are only two types of books - the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Materials and the Encyclopedia of Spiritual Animals.

Looking at the lobby again, in a room of more than 300 square meters, there are two piles of books as high as a hill. At the same time, there are hundreds of middle-aged and elderly people.

Each of these clansmen had a small stool and a book, and one by one, they were all engrossed in looking at the books in their hands. The speed of flipping through is mostly extremely fast. After reading one book, immediately put it into one of the piles, and then pull out one of the other piles of books and continue to sit down on the stool to read.

Interested people can understand at a glance that something has happened to the Lin family.

And it must be related to spiritual materials or spirit animals, but I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

In the center of the lobby, Lin Chaoan was anxiously pacing back and forth, asking loudly from time to time if anyone had found the information.

If no one responds, they will definitely scold a few rubbish, and it will all be rubbish.

If this is heard, it will definitely shock the big teeth.

Lin Chao'an, actually scolding?

In everyone's impression, Lin Chaoan has always been a brilliant, gentle and elegant person, with an easy-going personality. In fact, he is indeed such a person.

His personality is more suitable for reading and writing to be a civil official.

Back then, the Dan Lin family had a talent of the same age who could not be the patriarch, and he would resolutely not be the patriarch.

It's a pity that no, for the sake of the family, he had to take over as the patriarch of the Lin family.

It can be said that he is the one who is most reluctant to be the patriarch of the major families, and he is also the one who has the least patriarchal momentum and authority in the major families.

Now, he is scolding.

Whoever hears it understands the anxiety and anger in his heart at the moment.

Lin Chao'an's eldest son, Lin Wencai couldn't help but comfort him in the back: "Dad, don't worry, you can always find a reason and a solution." Besides, several elders have all gone out to find a solution, and maybe they have found a solution by now. ”

"Don't worry? Can I not be in a hurry? If it's too late, our Lin family will be finished." Lin Chao'an scolded, and the spitting star actually sprayed Lin Wencai's face: "If you really want to do this, what do you tell me to take to see the ancestors and ancestors?"

"It's really not good, our Lin family has also accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and it is completely possible to develop a new industry to replace Feng Lingmu. Lin Wencai suggested.

"After the other families know the news, it is impossible for us to get through this crisis peacefully. Lin Chaoan smiled bitterly.

Lin Wencai was silent.

"It's a pity that Zhenyue is not here, otherwise, with his mind, he should be able to think of a solution. Lin Chaoan sighed: "Even if he can't think of a solution, no matter how bad it is, he can minimize the blow suffered by the family because of this." ”

"Who knew that the speed at which the Wind Spirit Tree would wither would actually get faster and faster, and it was originally expected to take at least a year or two, but I didn't expect it to ......" Lin Wencai also sighed: "This Lin Zhenyue is too, a loser is spoiled like that by him, and as a result, he harms others and himself." He went down this time, but the loser was settled, and some time ago I heard that he also beat the first place in last year's clan competition. ”

"What's the use of saying this, the important thing now is to find a way to solve the matter of the Wind Spirit Tree. Lin Chaoan hated to die headlong, and then out of sight was pure.

Outside the door, a guard walked in: "Patriarch, the family has come to report, saying that Lin Chen has something important to ask to see." ”

"Lin Chen?" Lin Chaoan was stunned, as if he remembered something, and turned his head to look at Lin Wencai: "Is it Zhenyue's son?"

Lin Wencai nodded: "It's him." ”

"No, just say I don't have time. Lin Chaoan waved his hand impatiently, in his opinion, Lin Chen came to the door, it must have been his father's absence, and he ran over to complain to him after being bullied.

He is so anxious at the moment, how can he have the time and energy to take care of the affairs of the juniors.

The guard patted his head: "By the way, he also told the family that he had just come back from the Lingyun Mountain Wind Spirit Tree Planting Area." ”

"Wind Spirit Tree Planting Area?" Lin Chao'an's heartbeat instantly accelerated a lot.

"He—he's not going to get the word out. Otherwise, our Lin family would ......" Lin Wencai was also shocked.

"Let him in, what is he doing in the Wind Spirit Tree planting area? Who let him in?" Lin Chaoan was furious, at this moment, he even had the urge to kill.

The guards were taken aback by Lin Chao'an's hideous and angry face, and hurriedly retreated respectfully and left.

Outside the gate, Lin Chen waited for about ten minutes, and the family member who went to report turned around.

"The patriarch summons me, come with me. The family beckoned to Lin Chen, then turned around and led the way.

Lin Chen immediately stepped into the door and followed his family straight to the lobby.

"Three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, what is the patriarch doing?" Along the way, there were guards looming everywhere, and Lin Chen couldn't help but whisper to the family member leading the way in front.

"I also want to know ......" Jia Ding was also curious, and he also wanted to know what the patriarch was doing when he didn't come out of the lobby once in the past two days.

"I don't know if it will have something to do with Xi Chongwu and Xi Rou. ”

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, but he knew that Xi Chongwu would go to the treasure pavilions of the major families to take a turn.

The theft of the elixir spiritual materials that the major families have treasured for many years is naturally a big deal, and it is reasonable to strengthen vigilance.

However, it should also be the Treasure Pavilion to strengthen the vigilance, why are you running to the patriarch here?
