There are probably no members of the Dust Song Pot stationed on Haiqi Island to serve as anchor points, so he can only choose to use the teleportation anchor point.
etc......?!
A system warning suddenly sounded in Lu Lin's mind!
One of our members is in danger!
......
Haiqi Island is not without members of Chengehu.
The Southern Cross fleet is now at Haiji Island!
The Southern Cross fleet led by Hokuto traveled all over the country and had trade relations with Haigi Island. Previously, it had even participated as a mercenary in the operation to wipe out the fools of Haigi Island.
The Southern Cross fleet was merely stopping at Haiqi Island for supplies when they happened to encounter the island being invaded by a large number of abyssal monsters.
Captain Beidou, being a man of great public spirit, immediately led his fleet to help the resistance against the invasion of the abyssal monsters.
The Southern Cross fleet's combat power is indeed extraordinary. With the improved Returning Machine given to them by Lu Lin, they are definitely a force to be reckoned with.
However, no matter how much the Returning Machine is improved, it still lacks some flexibility.
It's fine for dealing with those gigantic demon gods, but it's not quite up to the task when it comes to dealing with incredibly agile monsters like the Beast Hound.
Moreover, the scale of the abyss monsters this time is enormous, with an endless stream emerging from the spatial passages!
Under such a tight offensive, Beidou personally took up his sword and fought among several powerful beast hounds, but due to the corrosive aura of the abyss, he gradually became unable to hold on.
Fighting alongside her was Coral Palace Heart Sea, the living goddess priestess of Umijima Island.
The attack by the abyss monsters was sudden, and Xin Hai was caught off guard. It was already quite remarkable that this strategist, who was skilled in troop deployment, was able to organize the army to maintain and hold the line in the first instance.
But the abyss monsters were too powerful, and the situation had become so critical that Xin Hai had to personally take to the front lines!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Beidou suddenly remembered that he could go into Chenge Pot to call for reinforcements. So he shouted loudly to Xinhai, "Miss Xinhai, could you spare some more troops to hold off the pressure for me? I'm going to find reinforcements!"
It's no wonder that Beidou was slow to react, only thinking of calling for reinforcements at this point. She was the woman who visited Chen Ge Hu the least among Lu Lin's women.
It wasn't that she was unsociable, but rather that she led her fleet across the country, bearing the heavy responsibility of the entire fleet's survival, and couldn't go to Chengehu every day.
She enjoyed herself at Chengehu, but when the fleet encountered some trouble, her men couldn't contact her.
"Captain Beidou, hurry over, I'll cover your gap!"
Xin Hai had no time to think about where the reinforcements Bei Dou was talking about would come from; he could only choose to believe.
She had no choice!
Even though she wasn't good at fighting at all, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and fill the gap left by Beidou, because she didn't have any extra combat power to mobilize.
The situation is extremely critical!
Just as the two were about to complete their exchange, a jet-black light shot out, inconspicuously hidden in the dark battlefield.
Its momentum is like lightning, unstoppable!
"Xin Hai, be careful!" Bei Dou's combat intuition was even sharper, and he finally noticed the vicious sneak attack just as the black light was about to get close.
But it was too late; Xin Hai couldn't react in time, and Beidou couldn't provide assistance either.
At the critical moment, Lu Lin appeared out of thin air and kicked the black light away completely!
After rescuing Xin Hai, Lu Lin stood in mid-air, conjuring several seven-colored light balls in his hands. Like throwing baseballs, he hurled the light balls into the horde of abyssal monsters.
The sphere of light was formed by the fusion of the seven elements. Once the elemental forces lost Lu Lin's control, they would react rapidly with each other, producing an explosion of immense power.
The relentless attacks of the abyss monsters were immediately halted!
When the person behind the scenes saw Lu Lin appear, the spatial passage began to shrink again, and they prepared to escape.
But this time, Lu Lin wasn't about to give them another chance. He snapped his fingers—
Time stands still!
Chapter 266 The Origin of the Crisis
The entire battlefield fell silent instantly!
Lu Lin even had the leisure to glance at Beidou and Xinhai behind him to make sure they were alright before rushing into the spatial passage.
On the other side of the passage was a dark and gloomy space, filled with an abyss-like aura, where all sorts of twisted and negative emotions tried to erode him.
Lu Lin was naturally resistant to the abyss's aura and was not afraid of being corroded, but this kind of environment was really not comfortable. Lu Lin's eyes were like lightning as he quickly searched for the person behind the scenes who was controlling everything.
Soon, his gaze settled on an Abyss Apostle.
The entire space was filled with beast hounds, with only this one Abyss Apostle. It was obvious who the mastermind was.
Lu Lin showed no mercy, first beating the Abyss Apostle half to death, then carrying him away from the space corrupted by the abyss.
Before leaving, he threw an enormous seven-element light sphere inside, its power comparable to a god's full-force attack!
The space itself wasn't particularly large; it seemed to be specifically designed for raising hunting dogs from the Beast Realm. Its stability was also quite poor, and it completely collapsed after being bombed like that.
Lu Lin, carrying the Abyss Apostle in his hand, retreated back to Haiqi Island, just as the time stop ended.
Beidou and Xinhai only felt a blur before their eyes, and Lu Lin suddenly had a weak Abyss Apostle in his hand.
The spatial passage from which beast-like hounds continuously emerged had vanished, as if it had never existed.
Xin Hai truly lived up to his reputation as a top-notch tactical commander. He only hesitated for a moment before seizing the opportunity to direct his troops in a counterattack.
Beidou followed closely behind, clearing out the remaining hunting dogs.
With the main base destroyed and the mastermind captured alive, the remaining beast hounds are no longer a threat.
An hour later, with Lu Lin's help, most of the beast hounds that had invaded Haiqi Island had been wiped out, leaving only a few scattered monsters that needed to be carefully eliminated.
Lu Lin didn't concern himself with these meticulous tasks; the army on Haiqi Island could handle them themselves.
Coral Palace Xin Hai arranged for Goro to lead a team to conduct a comprehensive investigation, while she and Beidou found Lu Lin.
"Mr. Lu, we are truly grateful for your help this time, otherwise Haiqi Island would have been doomed!" Xin Hai sincerely thanked Lu Lin.
Beidou and Lu Lin are close, so this step was unnecessary. She just missed her sweetheart and came to visit.
"Kaiji Island now belongs to Inazuma, and it is also bathed in Narukami's lightning, so it is only right that it is protected by Narukami."
Lu Lin's words were very official, meaning that the credit should be attributed to Narukami, and that Lu Lin's actions were all carried out on the orders of the Thunder God. This would be more helpful in bridging the gap between Umijima and Inazuma.
Xin Hai is a smart man and guessed that Lu Lin's help was probably a personal matter, and Thor might not even know about this yet.
However, she also knew that promoting the integration of Umijima into Inazuma was the best choice for Umijima, so she cooperated and immediately expressed her gratitude to Raijin.
"Alright, there are no outsiders here, so let's stop with the pleasantries. Miss Xinhai, you know how to spread the word. Now, tell me what exactly happened with this invasion."
......
With Xin Hai's explanation, Lu Lin finally understood what had happened.
Yesterday, a man named Inazuma from the Abyss infiltrated Haigi Island. After arriving on the island, he acted suspiciously and even tried to sneak into the Abyss Palace.
Although Yuanxia Palace is an important place on Haiqi Island, ordinary people cannot go down there, so the guards are not strict and few people go to the entrance.
However, Yuan Shang was really unlucky; he was discovered by the people of Haiqi Island before he even reached the entrance.
After the peace treaty between Umijima Island and Inatsuma was signed and a group of people who attempted to kidnap the gods were dealt with, the people on the island were naturally unsettled, and many people harbored prejudices against the people of Inatsuma.
When Fuchigami disguised himself as Inatsume and went to the island, he was immediately targeted by those who were unfriendly to Inatsume.
After several attempts to resolve the situation, Yuan Shang realized that the infiltration plan was not going to work. So he tore off the disguise, opened the spatial passage, and used the Beast Realm Hounds to launch a strong attack on Haiqi Island.
"So this is the Abyss Apostle I caught?" Lu Lin looked at the Abyss Apostle who was still unconscious due to severe injuries.
He certainly knew Yuan Shang. Unlike those Abyss Apostles who were full of bitterness and hatred, he was one of the few fun-loving people in the Abyss Order.
The reason for sneaking into the Abyss Palace was to find a book called "The Past of the Sun and Moon".
This book records the secrets of the origin of Sky Island. The serpent god Orobas was forced to his death by the laws of nature because he secretly read this book and learned secrets he shouldn't have known.
Thinking of this, Lu Lin splashed water on the unconscious Abyss Apostle and began the interrogation.
To Lu Lin's disappointment, the person he captured was not Yuan Shang, but another Abyss Apostle who cooperated with Yuan Shang in the attack on Haiqi Island.
This Abyss Apostle was very stubborn, and Lu Lin couldn't get any more information from it, so he decided to just kill it.
Yuan Shang is quite slippery. The one who stopped the fleet at sea earlier was most likely Yuan Shang, not this guy.
“Yuanshang’s whereabouts are currently unknown. Could he have already infiltrated Yuanxia Palace?” Xinhai frowned, looking worried.
This conjecture is not without merit. When Lu Lin arrived, there was only that one spatial passage on the entire Haiqi Island, which means that Yuan Shang had already fled before he arrived.
"If we want to find out what's going on, we can only send someone to Yuanxia Palace to investigate."
Is the soil on Haiqi Island showing signs of becoming sacred? Should we go to Yuanxia Palace to find the Blood Branch Coral?
Lu Lin's words startled Coral Palace's Heart Sea. He knew that the transformation of the soil into sacred soil required the secret of Blood Branch Coral.
"Mr. Lu's understanding of Haiqi Island is truly extraordinary; he even knows such secrets?"
"I know a lot of secrets, including that Miss Xinhai has a secret base..."
"You're not allowed to say that!" Before Lu Lin could finish speaking, Xin Hai interrupted him angrily, glaring at him irritably.
How dare you bring up the secret base?!
Lu Lin smiled indifferently. The usually calm and composed strategist looked rather cute with his puffed-up face. It didn't seem like he was angry, but rather like he was being coquettish.
Beidou, who had been listening in the background, glanced back and forth between the two of them and smiled knowingly.
"But to obtain the Blood Branch Coral, one must undergo trials and face the potential abyss. Ordinary people cannot do it. Who should be sent?" Xin Hai realized that his tone was off and quickly changed the subject.
"Don't look at me! I'm not going to do any trials!" Lazy Dog Lu Lin leaned back strategically, making an X with his hands in front of his chest to indicate his refusal.
Who would bother going to a hellish place like the Abyss Palace to do trials? Wouldn't it be better to be out there flirting with pretty girls?
"However, I can recommend someone to you."
"Who?"
Chapter 267 Sea of the Heart: Not Here
"Ta-da! It's me, of course!"
Under Xin Hai's puzzled gaze, Lu Lin suddenly disappeared from sight. Two minutes later, the blonde girl appeared out of thin air with her white sprite.
"Ying? How did you get here?" Xin Hai was quite surprised by Lu Lin's ability to teleport people anytime and anywhere.
Instantly, several tactics for leading a large army to parachute behind enemy lines and launch a surprise attack came to her mind.
As expected of the strategist, his professional habits are excellent.
"This is Lu Lin's secret~ Whether you tell him or not depends on him." Ying smiled brightly, keeping him in suspense. She and Xin Hai had worked together before and were quite familiar with each other.
Ying and Paimon were strolling along Daozu Street when Lu Lin suddenly came over and said he had a big commission, so they excitedly followed him.
Both of them are naturally active and can't sit still, so this kind of interesting exploration commission is exactly what they want.
Moreover, Ying is powerful enough to handle Yuan Shang without any problem. If all else fails, Lu Lin can be airdropped to provide support, so there's no need to worry about encountering any danger. She is truly the best choice for this trip.
Xin Hai trusted Ying too, so he personally led them to prepare to enter Yuanxia Palace, leaving only Bei Dou and Lu Lin behind.
"It was so dangerous today, why didn't you go into Chengehu to ask for help sooner?" Lu Lin looked at Beidou's disheveled appearance, his tone tinged with reproach.
The generous and easygoing Captain Beidou scratched his head awkwardly, looking unusually embarrassed: "Uh... well, I didn't remember for a moment. You'll be here by the time I do."
"Luckily I received the warning, otherwise who knows what might have happened today. Be more careful next time, my captain!"
"I know, I know! I won't do it again next time!" The usually carefree Captain Beidou actually showed a bit of a girlish, coquettish manner.
Lu Lin pinched her dirty face and laughed, "You're as dirty as a little kitten. Come on, let's take a shower!"
"No, we just finished a battle, and there are still many things to take care of with the fleet!"
"I just checked. The fleet has suffered heavy losses and some wounded, but no one has died, so you don't need to worry about it."
Your men have been with you for years and are used to all sorts of things; they can handle this little thing.
Lu Lin grabbed Bei Dou's dirty hand and coaxed him back to the Jade Pavilion inside the Dust Song Pot.
In the large bathroom that belonged exclusively to Lu Lin, Lu Lin first took Bei Dou to take a shower, and then filled the bathtub with hot water so that the two of them could take a bath together.
