Chapter 290 The Burning Forest
Forest of Elements.
Roar! ! !
The deafening roar of the beast resounded throughout the forest, and almost everything visible to the naked eye was enveloped in flames. The defensive layer of the natural moat that was supposed to perfectly divide the Forest of Elements seemed to have lost its effect and was unable to prevent the spread of the fire.
"Brother Yao, I asked the family, but Tianqian found no problem. The Fire Lin Beast probably invaded in other ways."
Lin Dong panted and ran to Lin Yao and said, "I have also confirmed it. There is indeed more than one fire point."
"So the Fire Lin Beast has opened its lair here?"
Lin Yao's face was neither sad nor happy, and he said: "The strongest defensive treasure, the Heavenly Chasm, is already riddled with holes."
"Brother Yao, it shouldn't be the case."
Lin Dong's expression changed. The reason why Lin's family can still securely occupy the position of the four major consortiums in the federation despite not having Sun Yao creatures is definitely an important reason.
If there is a problem with Tianqian, it will definitely not be good news for Lin.
"Not that much?"
Lin Yao pointed to the sea of fire in front of him and said, "This matter will soon spread throughout the federation. What do you think other people will think of it then?"
Hearing this, Lin Dong's expression suddenly became ugly.
Indeed, the Forest of Elements is another major reliance of the Lin family, and it is also the most closely protected place in the natural moat.
Such a place was actually invaded by a fire lin beast and a moonlight creature and caused such great damage. Once the news comes out, everyone will question the protective ability of the sky.
"Damn it! I should have killed that evil beast directly in the first place!"
Lin Dong shook his fist bitterly, while Lin Yao patted the other party's shoulder and said: "Complaining can't solve the problem. I'll leave the other fire points to you."
"As for that side, let me handle it!"
As he spoke, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Lin Yao's body, and four colors of light flashed around him. The elemental spirit appeared behind Lin Yao with a long sword in hand, and released a whirlwind to lift Lin Yao towards the core of the Forest of Elements.
There is the source of the fire, the Fire Lin Beast!
"Brother Yao..."
Seeing Lin Yao walking away, Lin Dong sighed helplessly, and then devoted himself to his work.
This time things happened suddenly, and the fire had spread to most of the Forest of Elements.
But if that's all it is, it won't cause Lin a headache. There are more troublesome things here.
…
the other side.
Outside the Forest of Elements.
"Such a big fire, did the entire Forest of Elements burn down?"
Looking at the forest of elements in front of him that had been swallowed up by the flames, he couldn't help but said: "Isn't there a defense layer here? How could the fire be out of control?"
"Judging from the flow of flame energy, these flames seem to come out of the ground."
Wen Quan quickly took out the relevant instruments from his backpack, and it didn't take long to detect the source of the flames.
"Underground, the Fire Lin Beast, could it be that the Fire Lin Beast dug out all the areas from the underground?"
An explanation that, although outrageous, was the most likely one came to Jiang Chen's mind.
"From the ground? Jiang Chen, do you mean that the Fire Lin Beast dug his lair here?"
Bai Xiaoyu was a little speechless, Huolin Huolin, that was the same title as Qilin, how could it develop into a gopher.
"It is very possible that the Fire Lin Cave was not very big originally and was expanded by the Fire Lin Beast."
Lin Mu's face was gloomy and he said: "That's how the team of envoys who went to capture the Fire Lin Beast were dragged to death."
"Back then? Lin Muqian was talking about Nie Lang's father?"
Jiang Chen immediately asked, "Since we have decided to arrest him, why are we still letting him wreak havoc until now?"
Hearing Jiang Chen's question, Lin Mu's expression became a little ugly, as if he was asking something he didn't want to answer.
But soon, Lin Mu finally told the reason.
"Jiang Chen, you should know that our Lin family is not protected by solar creatures now, right?"
"I heard about this."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly, seeming to understand a little.
"Originally, our Lin family also had a solar creature, but later due to some reasons, that solar creature died."
Lin Mu sighed and said: "Although the clan leader at that time made it into a treasure phantom as quickly as possible and retained most of its combat power, this has become a worry for our Lin family."
"It is precisely because of this that Lin has always wanted to cultivate another solar creature."
"So you are targeting the Fire Lin Beast?"
Jiang Chen immediately understood that no matter how powerful the Fire Lin Beast was, it was just a moonlight creature. With the ability of Lin's consortium, it would not be impossible to catch it, and it even paid a huge price for it.
Especially after experiencing such a thing, Lin still did not kill it, but spent manpower and material resources to seal the Fire Lin Beast.
If Lin was interested in the potential of the Fire Lin Beast and wanted to conquer it, then all this would make sense.
"Yes, the bloodline of the Fire Lin Beast has the potential to be promoted to the immortal level, which means that he is likely to become a solar creature."
Lin Mu nodded slightly and continued: "But just when Lin decided to arrest him, the originally gentle Fire Lin Beast became violent for some reason. Not only did he take the initiative to attack the Lin family's envoy, but also took the initiative to attack the people around the Fire Lin Cave. The area is under attack.”
"You said the Fire Lin Beast suddenly became violent?"
Jiang Chen's heart moved.
"That's right."
Lin Mu looked at Jiang Chen and seemed to have thought of something.
"Originally, the Fire Scale Beast was not only very gentle, but also protected the coastline for humans and prevented some amphibious sea beasts from coming up. It was once called a lucky beast by the surrounding residents."
"Lin chose to contract the Fire Scale Beast because of this. After all, the Fire Scale Beast itself has no ill feelings towards humans, and the difficulty of the contract will be much lower."
"But no one expected that an accident would happen on the day when Lin sent someone to contract."
Lin Mu looked up and looked forward, with fire flashing in his eyes.
But the scene was not the Elemental Forest.
"A lucky beast suddenly turned into a fierce beast... quite suspicious."
Jiang Chen stroked his chin, and the thoughts in his mind suddenly became clear.
Originally, he was still wondering about the relationship between the Fire Scale Beast and the demonic energy. After all, although there are many similarities between the two, there are also many differences.
Jiang Chen once suspected that someone was inspired by the blood of the Fire Scale Beast and developed similar methods, but this could not explain the difference.
But if the order is reversed, everything makes sense.
The Fire Scale Beast is not the source of demonization, but a test subject of this demonization experiment, and has successfully inherited the characteristics of this demonization of other creatures.
In this way, the sudden change of the Fire Scale Beast's personality can be explained.
"But to be able to do these things under the eyes of the Lin family, the ability of Xinhuo's gang is a bit too strong."
The more Jiang Chen thought about it, the more frightened he felt. It was not just about Xinhuo, but the other meanings behind all these actions.
It seems a bit far-fetched to say that such a big move can be completely concealed from the Lin family, unless...
Someone in the Lin family is cooperating with Xinhuo's actions!
Looking at the sea of fire in front of him, Jiang Chen thought more and more that it was possible.
Let's not talk about how strong the Fire Scale Beast's ability to dig holes is, but it can enter the Element Forest so accurately and leave fire holes everywhere. If it is said that it is all the work of the Fire Scale Beast, Jiang Chen will never believe it.
Moreover, in addition to this fire, there seems to be something else in the Element Forest.
The flames burned more and more, and the flames were accompanied by thick smoke. Ordinary people couldn't get close at all.
In the thick smoke, there was also some faint dark red aura.
These dark red auras were obscured by the smoke and could not be seen clearly, but Jiang Chen still recognized the identity of these dark red auras.
Demonic aura!!!
Roar!!!
As if to verify Jiang Chen's guess, several elemental creatures ran out of the woods, their eyes were all dark red, as if they were possessed by demons.
"Wen Quan, find a way to find the source of the demonic aura, and leave these guys to us."
Jiang Chen and Bai Xiaoyu looked at each other and summoned their pet spirits at the same time.
"Lin Mu, do you have a way to contact the top management of the Lin family?"
"Yes!"
Lin Mu nodded repeatedly and said, "I can talk to my father and others now."
"Tell them that someone buried a special treasure under the Elemental Forest that can cause extraordinary creatures to go crazy and devour each other. Only by finding those magic tools can we stop these demonized creatures."
"Magic tools... I understand."
Lin Mu immediately sent the information to Lin Yao and others, and after confirming the current situation, he turned his attention back to the scene.
"The Fire Scale Beast is currently in the core of the Elemental Forest, and my father has already gone there."
Lin Mu summoned the Cloud Boy and said, "However, many evil spirits that have been corroded by the Fire Scale Beast's bloodline have emerged in other places, and some are the demonized creatures you mentioned."
"We have also received the news, Teacher Li, I will send you back first, and the others will stay to help suppress the rioting evil spirits."
Lu Fei paused and said, "Jiang Chen, you should go back with me, this environment is not suitable for you to stay."
Jiang Chen was silent after hearing this. The fire was too big now, and perhaps the pet spirits could resist it, but ordinary humans like them would have no way to do it.
After all, except for the Star-level pet spirits that can release the Star Domain Protection Envoy, other pet spirits do not have this ability.
"Don't worry, the Lin family should be able to take action soon."
Li Xiuqi shook his head and said, "The ability of the Tianqian is not as weak as you think."
As soon as the voice fell, the Tianqian defense layer above everyone's head suddenly fluctuated, and the flames that were originally burning stopped spreading, as if they were attracted by something, and merged into the Tianqian layer little by little.
The flames gradually weakened, while the defense layer of the Tianqian became thicker and thicker, giving people a feeling of indestructibility.
"Although the Tianqian is also a Sun-level treasure, after so many years of development, it has long been free from the usual level restrictions."
"It can cover such a large area of the Federation. It is not enough to rely on its own energy or the Federation's charging, so it has had an energy circulation system for a long time."
"These flames are just to replenish the energy of the Tianqian."
Li Xiuqi looked at Lin Mu, who was also a little surprised, and smiled: "Don't be surprised. Although I am not a member of the Lin family, I know more after living for a long time."
"The situation is urgent, you all go to help, don't worry about me."
"But..."
Lu Fei was about to refute when he heard this, but was interrupted by Li Xiuqi.
"You are an old-fashioned imperial envoy. Staying here is more helpful than sending me back. As for my safety, you don't have to worry about it."
As he said, Li Xiuqi looked at Li Tianqi on the side and said, "Do you mind walking with me?"
