Chapter 1770 Variable: Black Dragon
(Let me start by saying that the Fate Tamperer is the eighth Fate Mountain, which has been revised in the previous article.)
On a mountain outside Yanlin Town, a player and several of his men were looking at the crowded town.
This person was Zhu Xuan, the top lord player in the Huaxia area.
"Are you sure it's Zhao Yun?" Zhu Xuan asked with a gloomy face.
"It's confirmed. I have fought with him personally. But he should have suppressed his strength." A sweaty general player reported to Zhu Xuan.
"Damn it! Zhao Yun set up a ring here, and Lin Mu must have been behind it. But what is this for? To give casual players the opportunity to brush up their skills? To increase their reputation? Or... to do tasks?" Zhu Xuan snorted coldly and speculated.
He had learned through some channels that Zhao Yun had been borrowed by Lin Mu.
Originally, he also wanted to borrow Zhao Yun, because the tomb palace was about to be opened for some reason. Borrow Zhao Yun just in case.
He used Liu, Guan and Zhang, and Liu Bei was a smart man, so he must have known his use. Everyone knew it. Even if he swore brotherhood with them, it would be impossible for him to give up his meritorious service and official position like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and follow them like a shadow. He had family interests, territory, and official position.
And for this tomb-robbing trip, he wanted to borrow Zhao Yun again for security. But he didn't expect that Lin Mu got there first.
"Master, could he be carrying out a certain task in Yanlin Town, and then use Zhao Yun to attract players to cover up some anomalies?"
Zhu Xuan looked at the bloody sky in the distance and thought, without noticing that above the town, a series of subtle black rays were constantly gushing out. These black rays were dispersed by the players' overwhelming popularity.
"Master, if Lin Mu is really doing a task in it, it must be a big task, and Zhao Yun is willing to perform and learn from each other." A general guessed.
"Why don't we send someone to lurk in, then start a riot, guide those players to attack Zhao Yun and the town, and force Lin Mu out?" Another player general suggested.
Zhu Xuan heard this, and a hint of desire appeared on his face.
His relationship with Lin Mu had gradually drifted away since the Peach Garden Oath. Although he lost Lin Mu, he had three super historical generals as sworn brothers.
The relationship behind the scenes was not very harmonious, but on the surface they were still good brothers.
However, as Lin Mu became more and more popular, Liu, Guan and Zhang were suppressed several times, and Zhu Xuan regretted it vaguely. Lin Mu's value of use seemed to be greater...
"Master, I don't recommend starting a rebellion. Zhao Yun is a star at the moment, and his appeal is unprecedentedly terrifying. If he orders it out, many brothers will be lost." A player dressed as a counselor next to him retorted.
"The lord of Yanlin Town is not a stupid person. He must have noticed the problem behind it, but he did not take any action, which means that their interests are balanced at the moment."
"Once an external force breaks the balance of interests, they may join forces to deal with the external force. In that case, the risks and rewards are not equal." The strategist analyzed it very well, and I don't know what the real profession is.
"Then we just watch?" The other general players asked with their eyes wide open.
"Master, our top priority is to open the tomb. Before that, it is to borrow generals. Since Zhao Yun cannot be borrowed, then go to Cao Cao or Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. They have many famous generals under their command."
"Okay! Let's go." After weighing it in his mind, Zhu Xuan felt that the strategist's opinion was right.
He and Yuan Shao, Wei Zhongdao and others jointly plotted against Lin Mu but failed, and even gave him a wave of benefits. Now rushing up alone, isn't that sending himself to death...
"Let you be arrogant for a while, and in the future, I don't know who will rule the world!" Zhu Xuan said a cruel word in his heart and left in disgrace.
...
After transporting dozens of waves of soldiers in, Huang Zhong took the Yuanlong ring given to him by his lord and waited at the foot of a mountain. The soldiers of the tomb-grabbing lieutenant kept transporting supplies out from various theft holes, and he collected them one by one.
"So many ores, but they are all fourth- and fifth-level..." Huang Zhong thought to himself after collecting the first batch of supplies.
"Hey, these are books? No, hiss! They are skill books and specialty books!" After a while, a team of tomb-grabbing lieutenant soldiers came over in a hurry and handed over the supplies to Huang Zhong.
And Huang Zhong discovered that the supplies in this life mountain were not seeds and ores, but skill books and specialty books!
Looking at the neatly arranged, many blocks were exactly the same books, and Huang Zhong took a breath.
The soldiers of the major legions in the Great Wilderness Territory basically rely on the attributes of famous generals or the training ground to learn skills and specialties. Occasionally, there will be related skill books and specialty books on the exchange list, but the leaders of the major legions are all watching, and there are too many monks and too little meat.
Now that so many suddenly appeared, wouldn't the low-level generals of the major legions be stronger?
Huang Zhong resisted the temptation to check the tunnel and got busy. He carefully put away the books and sorted them into categories.
On a distant mountain peak.
"Lord, the ninth one, which one should we dig?" Wu Ba waited for Lin Mu to get out of the tunnel and looked at the dim peaks in the distance and asked.
"Just open the one next to it, and then open it out." Lin Mu also looked over and said.
"Huh! That's good. However, Lord, I need to adjust my breath. I used my divine power crazily to dig the cave, and the consumption is a bit high."
"Use spirit stones and elixirs to recover, don't be stingy with these resources." Lin Mu instructed.
"Yes." Wu Ba immediately took out a piece of high-quality Yin Lingshi and began to absorb spiritual energy to recover.
Lin Mu was guarding the law nearby, and had nothing to do. The surrounding mountains were bare, and there were no birds or animals, so there was no place to explore.
However, Cui Wu, that guy, went to explore somewhere, and he hasn't come back yet.
It is said that if you don't talk about Cao Cao in the daytime, Cao Cao will come.
Cui Wu led the team to rush to Lin Mu in a hurry.
"My lord, there is a discovery!" Cui Wu shouted.
"Keep your voice down. If your voice shakes down the hidden life talisman, you will be responsible!" Lin Mu's face was serious and he whispered.
He spoke carefully, fearing that the surrounding formation would be activated.
"Uh... hehe..." Cui Wu ran over, touched his head, and expressed helplessness.
"What did you find?" Lin Mu asked with a straight face.
"We found a big hole in the corner of one of the life mountains!" Cui Wu paused and reported.
Lin Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He vaguely felt that this so-called big hole might be related to the extra life mountain.
"Which life mountain is it?" Lin Mu asked.
"That one!" Cui Wu pointed suddenly.
Following his direction, Lin Mu saw the mountain surrounded by the other three mountains under their feet.
This mountain is similar to the other 26 mountains. Whether it is height, color or width, it is similar.
However, Lin Mu vaguely knew that this life mountain may belong to the Dragon Lord.
"It is indeed the Dragon Lord's life mountain that has a problem... I hope it will not attract any invaders... Although there is a big harvest, if you accidentally exceed your ability, the price will be terrible." Lin Mu murmured.
"Have you checked inside the big cave?" Lin Mu's expression condensed and asked softly.
"I have checked it, and I feel that I have found something in the cave."
Immediately, Cui Wu flipped out of the marching bag, and a huge scale appeared in Cui Wu's hand.
"Hiss! This is... This is a real dragon scale!!" Lin Mu was shocked when he saw the scales covered with strange patterns.
"It seems to be from a black dragon... No, not a black dragon, but that dragon!" After Lin Mu rubbed it carefully, a scene of Yu Jin and Dong Zhuo cooperating to deal with Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Black dragon, this is the scale of the black dragon." Lin Mu said firmly.
"My lord, you said this is the scale of the black dragon? Is it the dragon of Dong Zhuo?" Cui Wu said in astonishment.
"The black dragon is also a member of the black dragon family. Although there are few dragons, there are a certain number of them. It is not necessarily that one." Lin Mu said with a strange look on his face.
"Uh... My lord, why do I feel like you seem to guess that it is from that one?" Cui Wu is worthy of being the captain of Lin Mu's personal guards and understands Lin Mu's temperament.
"Hehe..." Lin Mu smiled bitterly when he heard this.
When he saw this scale, he combined some information from his previous life in his mind and found an abnormality.
That is, in the previous life, before the chaos, Dong Zhuo attacked a player's territory and ordered his soldiers to kill the entire town. At that time, it was rumored that the player lord stole Dong Zhuo's treasure, so he was retaliated.
The name of the territory at that time was not Yanlin Town. Therefore, he did not connect it to that incident at the first time.
At that time, the incident was quite a big deal. The player named [Yi Fang Tian Shui] complained to Liu Hong, He Jin and others. Unfortunately, the status of the players was too low at that time, and there was no ripples.
However, because of his influence, maybe the one called [Yi Fang Tian Shui] became the current Song Yanlin!
Of course, this is all speculation.
"In addition to the discovery of scales, are there any other discoveries?" Lin Mu asked again.
"No... That big cave is dead end at the deep end, and there is nothing else."
"How big is the deepest cave? Are the excavation traces of the cave dug in or out from the inside?" Lin Mu asked for details.
"What... I didn't notice..." Cui Wu didn't expect Lin Mu to ask so carefully.
"You still lack some experience. Keep exploring." Lin Mu almost wanted to ask Cui Wu to write a 100,000-word summary and reflection book.
After that, Cui Wu hurried to find out the situation with a hint of helplessness.
And Lin Mu, stroking the black dragon scale as big as a dining table, didn't know what he was thinking...
After a long time, Wu Ba woke up from his cultivation state.
"My lord, you can continue."
"Let's go, speed up." Lin Mu waved his hand, summoned Xiao Qi, and then rode the dragon scale horse and galloped down.
Wu Ba also followed closely on a mutant dragon scale horse.
Soon, they came to the ninth fate.
