Chapter 658 The Patriarch's Decision
At this time, Lin Shihua and Lin Shihua heard Lin Tianyun's explanation, and they knew in their hearts what the appearance of the fourth-order monster insect in Helan Country meant.
Lin Shigong, in particular, was still in shock at this moment.
It wasn't that he wasn't calm enough, but the news of the appearance of the fourth-order monster insect gave him a more shocking feeling than learning about the spiritual stone mine with more than a large amount of reserves.
After all, the strength of the fourth-order monster insect is comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
There are only a few strong people in the Nascent Soul stage in the entire Qingzhou land. Each of them is a super strong person standing at the top of Qingzhou, and there is a powerful force behind them to support them.
With such strength and background, it goes without saying that the influence brought by the Nascent Soul cultivator goes without saying.
However, it is really incredible that such a demonic insect, which is comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator, happens to appear in the barren Helan Kingdom.
Fortunately, this fourth-order monster insect was still sleeping and seemed to show no signs of going out to attack humans.
Otherwise, if a fourth-level demonic insect madly attacks the human monks and slaughters them without any scruples, judging from the strength of the monks from the Helan Kingdom and the Golden Crow Kingdom, even if they unite, they will be unstoppable.
Without support, these two countries are likely to be severely damaged, or even destroyed.
The more this happened, the more Lin Shihua and others understood how threatening this fourth-order demonic insect was.
And this threat is not only to the Helan Kingdom and the Golden Crow Kingdom, but also the entire seven southern Qingzhou Kingdoms, are all under potential threat from the fourth-order demonic insects.
In this way, combined with the unknown size of the spiritual stone vein, it is no wonder that during this period of time, Jindan monks have been frequently appearing in the Quicksand Wasteland.
But the strange thing is that none of the golden elixir monks who appeared after going to the Quicksand Wasteland did not take action, and their disciples only stayed there.
In addition to worrying about waking up this fourth-order monster insect, they should have other reasons for doing this.
The simplest possibility is that these forces all want to take control of this spiritual stone mine.
After all, the involvement of a spirit stone vein is not small. Even the smallest micro spirit stone vein can unearth low-grade spirit stones worth millions.
The spirit stone vein discovered in the Quicksand Wasteland, according to Lin Tianyun, is at least a small vein.
There is even a high probability that it is a medium-sized spirit stone vein.
Taking a step back, if it was just a small spiritual stone mine, it would have a profit of at least 3000 million low-grade spiritual stones.
If it were really a medium-sized spirit stone mine, the income would increase several times.
Faced with such close-at-hand interests, I am afraid that no neighboring country or Jindan force will want to give up and will try their best to get a share of the pie.
But under the current situation, even if a Jindan force wants to swallow it, it will not be an easy task.
The simplest reason is that once one force takes action, it will inevitably be blocked by other forces.
What's more important is that if the fourth-order monster insect doesn't leave or is dealt with, no one will dare to take action.
Otherwise, once the fourth-level demonic insect is awakened, those who go to dig up the spirit stones, regardless of their cultivation level, as long as they are below the Nascent Soul stage, will definitely have a narrow escape from death.
Moreover, many forces around the Quicksand Wasteland will also suffer.
Understanding the benefits and risks involved, Lin Shihua almost understood the causes and consequences of this incident.
Next, as the head of the Lin family, he needs to weigh the pros and cons and see if the Lin family wants to get involved.
Thinking of this, Lin Shihua looked at Lin Tianyun and then asked.
"Tianyun, what kind of monster is that fourth-order monster insect?"
"Other than that, what are the views and actions of those forces on this spiritual stone mine?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Lin Tianyun paused and then replied: "Clan leader, this junior has carefully investigated and determined that the fourth-order monster insect is the Earth Armored Dragon."
"Earth armor dragon!"
After hearing this statement, Lin Shihua said lightly, and his expression softened significantly.
Because he knew that monsters like the Earth Armored Dragon had a relatively docile temperament and usually spent most of their time sleeping.
What's even more special is that the Earth Armored Dragon is very talented and has a very long lifespan, and generally does not need to swallow heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It only needs to find a place with abundant spiritual energy as a cave to grow. .
If the cave you find is rich in aura, the speed and efficiency of the Earth Armored Dragon's growth and advancement will be even more effective with half the effort.
As for the appearance of an armored dragon in the Quicksand Wasteland, it was probably because of the spirit stone veins.
In addition, the Earth Armored Dragon itself has sensitive perception and is proficient in the art of escaping from the earth. Being able to find a treasure land with a spirit stone vein as a cave is just an instinct brought by its talent.
In this way, it is reasonable for a fourth-level armored dragon to appear in a barren land such as the Quicksand Wasteland.
Knowing all these factors, Lin Shihua was no longer shocked by the news of the appearance of the Ankylosaurus in the Quicksand Wasteland.
At this time, Lin Tianyun also saw Lin Shihua's face, and knew in his heart that Lin Shihua must have thought of the living habits of the armored dragon.
Relying on these factors, Lin Shihua no longer cares so much about the reason for the appearance of Ankylosaurus.
However, as the head of the Lin family, Lin Shihua is most concerned about whether there are opportunities and conditions to obtain enough benefits for the Lin family.
Knowing this, Lin Tianyun continued to speak: "Clan Leader, Tianyun stayed in the Quicksand Wasteland for a while and got a lot of relatively real information."
"Among them, almost most of the golden elixir forces from the seven countries in southern Qingzhou sent varying amounts of forces to the Quicksand Wasteland to gather information, and some of their forces were left to garrison there."
"Especially the Helan Kingdom and the Golden Crow Kingdom, the two countries closest to the Quicksand Wasteland, responded the fastest, and every descendant of the Jindan force showed up there."
"And several other countries, such as the Xitang Kingdom, are almost absent. Almost the entire seven countries in the southern part of Qingzhou are involved."
"Including our three golden elixir forces from the Wei Kingdom, they also participated in the exploration team."
"After these people appeared in the Quicksand Wasteland, they all went to the specific location to check. If nothing else, they should have discovered the existence of the Earth Armored Dragon."
"Afterwards, all the people from these forces sent people to guard the area and did not easily disturb the Ankylosaurus's sleep."
"In doing so, in addition to fearing that the Ankylosaurus would wake up, the deterrence of other forces also played a role."
"Moreover, the monks who can appear in the local area are at least in the late stage of foundation building. Such people are not stupid, and they also know what it means once the armored dragon wakes up."
"What's more, the most powerful Jindan forces are stationed nearby, always deterring those who are up to no good."
"As time went by, an order was gradually formed. No one had any plans to take action, and no one came forward to negotiate. It seemed to be testing the temperament of some people who were ready to make a move."
Lin Tianyun explained in great detail, telling Lin Shihua and Lin everything about what he had seen and heard in the past few months.
Lin Shihua also expected such a his opinion, these forces are all wary of each other, and no one wants to be taken advantage of, let alone the food of the armored dragon.
Under such circumstances, no one would dare to take action rashly before many forces reached a unanimous agreement.
If someone is really desperate to take action, not to mention the retaliatory action of the Ankylosaurus when he wakes up, even people from other forces will not let it go.
Because of this, although there are many forces appearing on the Quicksand Wasteland, and there are also many Golden Core monks, there is already a certain order formed.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before these forces finally come to the negotiation table to decide the ownership and allocation of the spirit stone veins.
In addition to this, the existence of this armored dragon is the biggest factor that hinders everyone from mining spiritual stones.
If many forces reach a consensus, they will definitely find a way to join forces to get rid of the armored dragon.
Otherwise, no matter how long they stay, or no matter how many Jindan monks stay in the area, they will not be able to carry out the next step of the plan.
However, it is foreseeable that although the power of this armored dragon is powerful, if it faces the combined forces of the seven southern countries of Qingzhou, it may not be a match for the army of monks.
After all, the Earth Armored Dragon is a race of monsters and a race that prefers defense.
As for the seven countries in the south of Qingzhou, there are nearly 30 Jindan forces. The total number of Jindan monks alone is at least more than 100.
Among them, there are also some powerful late-stage Jindan monks.
Once all parties decide to take action against the Quicksand Wasteland, it may only take a dozen or so monks in the late Golden Core realm to join forces, and with some formations or some consumable treasures, they may be able to subdue or kill the Earth Armored Dragon.
Therefore, although the Earth Armored Dragon is powerful, no one force dares to deal with it alone.
But once the monks from all parties join forces, it is not difficult to defeat the armored dragon.
Under such a situation, if the Lin family wanted to get a piece of the pie, they would have to send a force to garrison in the Quicksand Wasteland as soon as possible.
In addition, if conditions permit, one must play a role in killing the Ankylosaurus.
Only the Lin family takes action. When the benefits are distributed, the Lin family can get part of the benefits.
Understanding this, Lin Shihua immediately asked Lin Shigong and Lin Tianyun if they had any different opinions on the Lin family's next plan.
If the two of them thought that the Lin family needed to get through this troubled water, he would also ask other senior members of the Lin family for instructions.
Especially if Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu had no objections, then the Lin family would be involved in the chaos over at Quicksand Wasteland.
At this moment, Lin Shigong also expressed his opinions.
The two of them have almost the same attitude, that is, the Lin family needs to get through this muddy water.
The reason for being so decisive is mainly because the current Lin family is no longer what it used to be.
The simplest point is that even if the Lin family leaves aside Lin Tianming and his wife, there are already several people in the Golden Core stage.
Moreover, this does not include guest guest Hu Yuan and Ye Pinghai, who is half of the Lin family.
Among our own people, it has been decades since Lin Shikang and Lin Shilu entered the golden elixir stage.
Now, both of their cultivations have reached the peak of the early stage of the Golden Core, and they are only one step away from the middle stage of the Golden Core.
In addition, Lin Tianyun's own cultivation level is also at the peak of the early stage of Jindan, but his strength is already comparable to that of a monk in the middle stage of Jindan.
In addition to the three of them, Lin Xingrong and Lin Xingzhi also used the elixir-forming spiritual objects brought back by Lin Tianming from Tianlong Pavilion a few years ago to successfully break through the golden elixir stage.
At present, the two of them have stabilized their realm, and their offensive and defensive magic weapons have been refined with the help of Lin Shilu. They have successfully refined each of them and have a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
Under such circumstances, the Lin family currently has seven Jindan combatants in the clan.
Coupled with the existence of the Soul-eating Spider, the Lin family's strength is even more powerful.
Such a lineup, even excluding Lin Tianming and his wife, is almost worthy of the Zhenyang Sect, a veteran force that has been passed down for nearly ten thousand years.
More importantly, a year ago, news of a civil war in the immortal world of Jinfeng Country spread throughout the world of immortals.
Lin Tianming and his wife have not returned to the family for many years, and there has been little news or trace during this period.
Until the news of Jinfeng's civil war swept across the land of Qingzhou, Lin Tianming's name became even more prominent.
As the family behind Lin Tianming, the Lin family naturally learned this news, and also knew about Lin Tianming's terrifying strength and achievements.
Several people, including Lin Tianfeng, who had disappeared for a long time, have now appeared with Lin Tianming, and they have all entered the golden elixir stage.
Among them, Lin Tianhu is very powerful, almost as strong as an ordinary monk in the middle stage of the golden elixir.
At first, when the senior members of the Lin family heard the news, they were not only shocked but also filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
As for the reason, it was not only the traces and achievements of Lin Tianming and his wife, but also the reasons of Lin Tianhu and others.
You know, the two of them have disappeared for so many years, and there has been no news during this period.
Now he has finally appeared, and his cultivation has surpassed that of most Lin family members, and he has successfully entered the golden elixir stage.
If we include them, the Lin family is now far ahead of the Zhenyang Sect and Wanyao Valley who are also in the Wei Kingdom.
Even some of the Jindan forces in the southern center of Qingzhou are not as powerful as the Lin family today.
With such strength as the confidence, Lin Shihua and the other two people would be so decisive in joining the team fighting for the spirit stone veins.
Moreover, they knew in their hearts that the Lin family had not received a large amount of resources for many years since the end of the Wei Civil War.
As the overall strength of the Lin family increases and they control more and more territory, the size of the Lin family is also growing.
Up to now, the basic welfare of Lin family members is still improving.
Doing so requires a lot of resource support, and without some foundation, it simply cannot be sustained.
In this way, if the Lin family wants to continue to develop and remain competitive, they must find ways to expand the family's income.
Before this, Lin Tianming had always contributed the most to the Lin family, and this was not a long-term solution.
It is for these reasons that Lin Shihua, as the head of the Lin family, made a decisive decision to take action after considering the causes, consequences and interests.
