Lin Ze retracted his palm and glanced at Guo Cong.
In order to deal with the four Red Obsidian Leopard leaders, he had to reveal his true strength. Guo Cong watched the whole scene, so naturally he could not let him fall into the hands of other people in Fire Fox Village, so he had to kill him.
Fortunately, most of the things that should be asked have been asked.
As for the four red leopard leaders, their bodies have been turned into crystal fragments all over the ground. Just looking at these fragments, it is impossible to tell whether they are the red leopard leaders or ordinary red leopards. It is not surprising that they will be killed by Lin Yingning and others.
People sense something is wrong.
Not long after Guo Cong was killed, Lin Yingning and Guo Xiaozhi rushed in with people. Their eyes fell on the body on the ground, and they couldn't help but look shocked.
"Is this the person controlling the Red Obsidian Leopard behind the scenes?" Lin Yingning came to Lin Ze and asked.
"That's right." Lin Ze just nodded and was not going to tell Lin Yingning the information he had obtained from Guo Cong. Otherwise, how could he explain why Guo Cong was not allowed to live.
Lin Yingning just thought that Lin Ze and the mastermind behind the scenes had killed each other in a fierce battle. Seeing that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard a low cry.
She quickly followed the sound and found that Guo Xiaozhi's expression changed with shock when he stepped forward to check the body. She immediately walked over quickly. Just as she was about to ask what happened, she saw from the corner of her eye that the collar of Guo's corpse was open, and the collarbone was painted with inflammation.
With the dragon pattern, her pretty face suddenly changed.
"This guy is actually from Yanlong City!" Guo Xiaozhi showed a confused look, "People from Yanlong City came to our mines and brought out so many red obsidian leopards. What are they planning to do?"
"He may not be from Yanlong City. Have you forgotten the person who was defeated by your cousin in the duel?"
Lin Yingning frowned and studied the body for a moment, then looked away and looked at the two of them, "Maybe this matter has something to do with Fire Bear Village!"
Guo Xiaozhi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately realized that after the mine was in the hands of Huohu Village, the defense had been very tight. This person could not have come in during this period. Ninety-nine percent of the time, he came in before Huoxiong Village handed over the mine.
The purpose of staying in the mine is probably related to the sudden appearance of large numbers of red obsidian leopards.
It is extremely unlikely that Huoxiong Village does not know about the existence of this person, not to mention that there was a guest in their village who came from Yanlong City. The connection between this is worth pondering.
Lin Yingning couldn't help but frown deeply.
If this matter has something to do with Huo Xiong Village, then it’s okay. Huo Xiong Village is unwilling to hand over the mineral veins and is making small moves behind the scenes. Fire Fox Village has expected it and is mentally prepared. But if this matter involves Yanlong City, then
It's going to be big trouble.
Regardless of the fact that Fire Fox Village is the victim, Yanlong City will not care about the overwhelming power. If their people die in the hands of Fire Fox Village, they will definitely not let it go, not to mention that it is unheard of for humans to control ferocious beasts.
The matter will inevitably involve extremely important secrets.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Lin Yingning gritted her teeth and said, "Bury the body on the spot and pretend we have never seen this person before!"
She looked around and glanced at everyone's faces, "Everyone keeps secrets. Without my permission, you must not mention what happened here to anyone after you go out! Do you understand?"
Everyone looked stern and agreed.
...
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the support from Fire Fox Village hurriedly arrived at the mining area. Yu Yong and Qin Kuan, another deputy captain of the hunting team, also followed, bringing more than thirty Fire level warriors. The mining area was suddenly concentrated.
With nearly half of the power of Fire Fox Village, they launched a vigorous operation to eliminate the Red Obsidian Leopard in the mine.
The mine was connected in all directions with numerous passages. Everyone was divided into four teams, each led by four Fire Ring-level warriors. They dispersed and slowly advanced, gradually killing the red obsidian leopards. It took almost half a month to finally remove the red obsidian leopards inside.
Seven or eight red leopards were wiped out.
At the last count, the total number of red obsidian leopards killed was more than 2,000 and nearly 3,000, which frightened everyone in Fire Fox Village.
If someone were behind such a large group of ferocious beasts to launch a surprise attack on Fire Fox Village, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, the culprit had been killed by Lin Ze. Of course, only the top management of Fire Fox Village and the more than ten members of the hunting team who participated in the battle knew the specific situation. The latter were ordered to keep the secret, so the news did not spread.
.
However, Lin Yingning and the elders did not cover up Lin Ze's contribution. Everyone knew that the beast disaster did not expand further this time, all thanks to Lin Ze, which made his reputation in the village even higher.
"It's thanks to you again this time, cousin. Otherwise, when the mastermind behind the scenes is ready and leads the herd of ferocious beasts to rush out of the mine, our village will be the first to bear the brunt. Even if we can withstand it, we will suffer heavy losses."
At the entrance of the mining area, Lin Yingning breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze said calmly: "I am in charge of the mining area, and it is my duty to protect the safety here. I can't talk about merit, but you should be more careful. This matter is not over yet. Pay more attention to Fire Bear Village or Yanlong City.
movement."
Lin Yingning and others speculated that the red leopard disaster in the mine was probably related to Huo Xiong Village, but he knew that Huo Xiong Village was just a middleman in this matter, just a pawn, and the real mastermind was Yan Long.
city.
For Fire Fox Village at this stage, Yanlong City is undoubtedly a behemoth. If Yanlong City learns the truth of the matter and wants revenge, Fire Fox Village will simply not be able to resist it with its strength. This is a truly fatal threat.
"I will!" Lin Yingning nodded heavily.
"In addition, there is something I want to ask you." Lin Ze suddenly said, "Is there any training method after the fire ring level in the village?"
Lin Yingning was startled: "Is it a fire-level cultivation technique? Why does my cousin ask about this?"
She was quite confused. Lin Ze had only been promoted to the Fire Ring level not long ago, so why did he suddenly ask about the training methods of the Fire Source level?
No matter how smart and whimsical she was, she would never have thought that Lin Ze would break through to the Ring of Fire level soon. After all, this would be too horrifying.
"I'm just a little curious. I went to the bookstore to search before, but I didn't find any fire source level cultivation techniques, only fire type and fire ring level." Lin Ze said.
In the past half month, he has been leading the team to kill the Red Obsidian Leopards, and his training has not fallen behind. Now the fire ring has been ignited for nearly half of the time. With a sufficient supply of fire source stones, it is estimated that it will only take another two months at most.
Light all the fire rings, and then you can start to break through.
However, he had never found the next realm of fire source cultivation techniques in Fire Fox Village, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask now.
Prepare for a rainy day, Lin Ze didn't want to have enough cultivation by the time, but be unable to break through because he didn't have the corresponding skills.
Lin Yingning suddenly nodded when he heard this, and then shook his head with a wry smile: "Since the establishment of our village, the most powerful warriors that have come out are only at the peak of the Fire Ring level. No one has ever reached the Fire Source level. Naturally,
There is no corresponding cultivation method."
Fire source-level warriors are already the top combat force in this world. Even in Yanlong City, where there are so many powerful people, they are considered big shots. If Fire Fox Village had produced fire source-level warriors, it would have grown into a large village long ago.
Well, why is it still a small village today?
"Fire source level cultivation techniques can only be found in Yanlong City and large villages!" Lin Yingning said in deep thought, then glanced at Lin Ze.
She is extremely talented, and it is almost certain that she can break through to the Fire Source level. Therefore, she has considered this problem very early. There is a way, which is to go to Yanlong City to spend a lot of money to purchase Fire Source level training techniques.
Villages compete with each other. It is almost impossible to learn the Fire Source level cultivation techniques from large villages. They will not sit back and watch other villages rise up to become new large villages and compete with them for survival resources. They will not obstruct them in every possible way.
It's already been calculated, how can one trade the cultivation method?
Yanlong City is different. Even large villages are not in its eyes. Naturally, there will be no worries about raising tigers. As long as there are enough fire source stones, they can be exchanged for cultivation from a certain fire source level powerhouse.
The exercises are not difficult.
Lin Yingning planned to do this, and now there was another one, Lin Ze, who was expected to break through to the fire source level, and it seemed that Lin Ze would definitely break through earlier than her.
"It seems that the purchase of fire-level cultivation techniques must be put on the agenda. We can't slow down my cousin's cultivation."
While she was meditating, Lin Ze's eyes lit up and he said, "In other words, there is a fire source level cultivation technique in Huo Xiong Village?"
"Yes, there is. The founder of Huo Xiong Village is a Huo Yuan level warrior. Their village must have preserved Huo Yuan level cultivation techniques." Lin Yingning looked at Lin Ze in surprise and laughed, "But cousin
, Not to mention that large villages are unwilling to trade Huoyuan-level cultivation techniques. Even if they are willing, given the hostile relationship between our village and Huoxiong Village, they will never fulfill our wish."
After Lin Yinning said this, he explained the method he thought of to Lin Ze.
"Are you going to Yanlong City to buy something..." Lin Ze nodded lightly when he heard this. This is actually a good idea.
Anyway, it will take him a month or two to ignite the entire fire ring, so there is no rush.
The two talked for a while, and then Lin Yingning returned to the village with the supporting people.
Lin Ze's strength has improved to a higher level in just one month, which greatly stimulated her. She couldn't wait to return to the village to practice in seclusion, trying to cross the final step as soon as possible and advance to the Fire Ring level.
After Lin Yingning and others left, Lin Ze turned back to his residence, sat cross-legged on the bed, took out the two beast control stones obtained in the mine, looked at them and fell into deep thought.
According to Guo Cong, this beast control stone is actually equivalent to a ferocious beast lair that can hatch red obsidian leopards indefinitely. As long as there is a sufficient supply of fire source stones, an army of red obsidian leopards can be raised quickly.
The individual strength of the Obsidian Leopard is slightly weaker, not even the fire level, almost equivalent to the quasi-warrior level, but quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and when it reaches a large scale, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.
"What a pity. It would be great if a copy of this thing could be brought out."
