#46 - Take down Tiemuzhuang, the Lin family appears
Leopard Zhen and Leopard Qiang burst out of the forest.
The two black beast shadows were like soul-reaping Black Impermanence to the Lei family miners.
“Roar!”
“Ah, run!”
“The Black Iron Demon Leopards are back for revenge.”
“Quick, go call Second Master Lei!”
“Hide in the mine.”
The small valley mine was instantly in chaos, with miners and guards scattering in all directions. Facing Heavenly Yuan realm demon beasts, few had the courage to fight.
The Black Iron Demon Leopards of the Heavenly Yuan realm, with their black, iron-like fur and imposing aura, were enough to deter anyone below the Heavenly Yuan realm.
Soon, the two Heavenly Yuan realm experts of the Lei family, who were resting in Ironwood Village, were drawn out by the commotion.
The two immediately issued orders, organizing the guards of Ironwood Village to surround and kill the two beasts.
The two Heavenly Yuan realm experts were one in the early stage and one in the middle stage.
In addition, there were many guards. The Lei family seemed to have put most of their strength in Ironwood Village, with more than a dozen people in the Earth Yuan realm.
With the advantage in numbers, they could barely contend with the two leopards.
The two leopards had to be careful.
Hiding in the forest, Lin Yun, who was secretly observing, had no intention of helping the two leopards.
After the last failed bloodline mutation, Lin Yun wanted them to experience some difficult battles and feel a real crisis.
The current situation was just right.
If the two leopards couldn't handle this lineup, they would let down Lin Yun's training.
Leopard Qiang and Leopard Zhen had been following Lin Yun for so long that they were no longer the simpletons they used to be. They understood guerrilla tactics and didn't blindly fight the enemy head-on. They perfectly used their speed advantage to fight separately, preventing themselves from being surrounded.
The two leopards supported each other, reducing the pressure on each other.
Soon, the Lei family's forces, organized by the two Heavenly Yuan realm experts, were scattered by them.
In the blink of an eye, the two leopards had bitten more than a dozen people to death.
The fierce Black Iron Demon Leopards terrified everyone, and no one dared to step forward.
“Run, we can't win. These two Black Iron Demon Leopards are comparable to the middle stage of the Heavenly Yuan realm.”
“Quickly report to the family head in Qingyang Town.”
“Open the gate.”
The crowd began to flee out of Ironwood Village.
Seeing this, the two Heavenly Yuan realm experts of the Lei family also had the intention to retreat.
However, the two leopards缠住 them.
Lin Yun's order to them was that they didn't have to care about the others, but these two must be killed.
Soon, the person in the early stage of the Heavenly Yuan realm was taken care of by Leopard Zhen.
Some Earth Yuan realm guards who were still hesitating, seeing this scene, did not dare to stay any longer and quickly fled Ironwood Village.
At this time, there was no one to be seen in Ironwood Village.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
The two leopards let out a high-pitched roar, announcing their victory and declaring that they were the masters of this territory.
[Task: Hunt down Lei family Heavenly Yuan realm experts. Reward: a bottle of fifth-grade Yuan Qi Dan. Completed, claim?] × 2.
[Task: Take Ironwood Village. Reward: Intermediate Qiankun Bag. Completed, claim?]
[Task: Occupy the Yang Yuan Stone mine. Reward: Innate Yang Gang Qi. Completed, claim?]
In the roar of the two leopards, Lin Yun also received a prompt that the task was completed.
He released his mental power to explore the entire Ironwood Village. Apart from dozens of miners hiding in the mine shivering, everyone else had fled towards Qingyang Town.
“Hu Ying, it's time for you to show up.”
Lin Yun patted Hu Ying, “Let's go for a spin too.”
From Ironwood Village to Qingyang Town, it was half a day's journey. It would take some time for these people from the Lei family to escape back.
Lin Yun, holding Qing Tan, rode Hu Ying to catch up with the fleeing people.
When they got close, Lin Yun and Qing Tan hid in the dark, letting Hu Ying show himself.
The people from the Lei family who had escaped from Ironwood Village were running on the road when suddenly a Fire Python Tiger rushed out of the forest opposite them.
“Roar!”
Seeing these people, Hu Ying roared and jumped into the forest on the other side.
“Careful, it's the Fire Python Tiger!”
“Oh my god, how did the Fire Python Tiger run here?”
“I heard that this beast killed Uncle Lei Liu and the others in the forest to the south yesterday.”
“It's gone, it's actually going in the direction of Ironwood Village.”
“It wouldn't be attracted by the Yang Yuan Stone mine, would it?”
“Hurry, hurry, go report to the family head.”
The Lei family was unsettled. Seeing that the Fire Python Tiger was just passing by, they felt a sense of relief and quickened their pace.
Because too many people had escaped, and the Lei family had no Heavenly Yuan realm person in charge, they couldn't manage at all.
Although they were all Lei family members before, now the Lei family was leaking everywhere, and most of the clan's elites were lost.
Of the five Heavenly Yuan realm experts, now only Lei Bao remained.
The family's strength plummeted in two days!
When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Many people had no intention of returning to the Lei family. Those with active minds had already prepared to join other forces.
In Qingyang Town, besides the Lei and Xie families, the Mad Saber Martial Hall and the Lin family were naturally the largest.
These people who escaped all knew that a Yang Yuan Stone mine had appeared in Ironwood Village.
The newest and most complete novels are on 69shu.com!
This was very valuable information.
In just half a day.
Three pieces of news spread among the major upper-level forces in Qingyang Town.
First, a Yang Yuan Stone mine appeared in Ironwood Village.
Second, the two Heavenly Yuan realm experts of the Lei family stationed in Ironwood Village were killed by the Black Iron Demon Leopards, and now Ironwood Village was occupied by the Black Iron Demon Leopards.
Third, the Fire Python Tiger appeared near Ironwood Village, suspected of heading for the Yang Yuan Stone mine.
This news immediately aroused the reaction of the major forces.
After the Lin family got the news, Lin Zhentian also immediately convened the clan's high-level officials to discuss countermeasures.
The Yang Yuan Stone mine was definitely a piece of fat that was hard to refuse for local forces like Qingyang Town. The temptation was too great.
Yang Yuan Stone could not only enhance the family's strength, but also be an opportunity for these Heavenly Yuan realm experts.
“Father, the Lei family has died four Heavenly Yuan realms, leaving only the old dog Lei Bao. This is our Lin family's chance. We should set off immediately to take Ironwood Village.” Lin Mang took the lead in proposing, his eyes red when he heard about the Yang Yuan Stone mine.
If the Lin family could get this mine, it would definitely rise to prominence.
Lin Ken immediately stood up to object, saying, “We must not be impulsive. The Lei family lost two Heavenly Yuan realm experts in Ironwood Village. The strength of those two Black Iron Demon Leopards is at least in the middle stage of the Heavenly Yuan realm. And now, there is still a Fire Python Tiger watching nearby.”
“The Fire Python Tiger can kill four Heavenly Yuan realm experts, it must have reached the late stage of the Heavenly Yuan realm.”
“If our Lin family wants to compete, we must consider removing the three beasts.”
“And with our Lin family's current strength, even if we remove the three beasts, I'm afraid we will have to pay a considerable price.”
“It's not just our Lin family that covets the Yang Yuan Stone mine.”
“I'm worried that if we take the lead, and the snipe and clam fight, other forces will benefit, which will be a disaster for our Lin family.”
Lin Ken's analysis was very reasonable, but it was also like a bucket of cold water, poured on everyone's heads, making them instantly sober from the temptation of the Yang Yuan Stone mine.
This was a tricky problem. Even the strong Lei and Xie families were crippled by the three beasts.
However, the temptation of Yang Yuan Stone was too great, and no one was willing to give up.
Soon they argued again.
“Opportunity is not to be missed. There are many forces around Qingyang Town. When the news spreads, I'm afraid the forces of Yan City will also be attracted. By then, we won't even be able to drink the soup.”
“If we don't have enough strength, even if we take Ironwood Village, we won't be able to keep it.”
“We can take it first, frantically mine it, mine as much as we can, what we eat in our mouths is meat. If a stronger force comes to grab it, then we will give up.”
“I'm afraid that at that time, we won't be able to retreat completely even if we want to give up.”
“Then what should we do? If we don't compete, we will just watch the opportunity slip away.”
“With our Lin family's current strength, it's a bit difficult to eat Ironwood Village alone.”
“Why don't… we join forces with the Mad Saber Martial Hall? With Hall Master Luo and Father, we don't have to worry whether we are dealing with the three beasts or dealing with the Lei and Xie families in the future.”
“Cooperation is a good way.”
“This matter should not be delayed. I propose to send someone to discuss with the Mad Saber Martial Hall now?”
“A little later, it is estimated that the Lei and Xie families have reached an agreement.”
“Father, what do you think?”
Everyone looked at Lin Zhentian, waiting for him to make a decision.
Lin Zhentian was silent. He really wanted to eat the Yang Yuan Stone mine alone, but at the moment, his strength was insufficient, and cooperation was indeed the best choice.
Just as he was about to make a decision, a young man broke in.
It was Lin Dong. He was here. He brought Lin Yun's plan.
As early as when the two of them discussed attacking east and then attacking east again.
They had set the plan.
Now, it was the Lin family's turn to appear.
