New and dark light years

Chapter 296 Burning the Devil
The jiao, a type of creature, has already come into contact with dragons.

The Tree Fairy Goddess is just a snake.

However, it's hard to say which is more powerful. Which is more powerful or has more potential: a human body with a snake tail or a dragon head with a human body?

But Li Lin still felt that the Tree Fairy Goddess was more powerful.

Regardless of anything else, the Tree Fairy Goddess gives people a feeling of being 'evil yet divine'.

But this dragon-headed man is only evil.

Li Lin looked away, avoiding eye contact with the other person.

Powerful True Lords all possess some skill in 'mental attacks'.

Making eye contact with them is essentially offering up your own weaknesses.

Li Lin ignored the True Lord behind him, looked around, and then walked in one direction.

Fang Fengzhi and his men immediately followed behind him.

"Commander Li, what is that?"

“It should be a zombie,” Li Lin said. “It’s a type of ghost, and it’s harder to form than the ordinary, invisible ghosts.”

Fang Fengzhi angrily said, "It was this guy who instigated me to cause trouble for the Southern Route Army. So he was a cunning one all along, no wonder he was so vicious."

As Li Lin walked, he shook his head and said, "No... he only recently became a monster. When he was talking to you, he was still a living person."

"Hiss...so fast?"

Fang Fengzhi was, after all, from a prominent family and had a certain level of knowledge.

He knew that, under normal circumstances, the formation of a deception was not so easy.

"So, someone helped him speed up the process?" Fang Fengzhi asked subconsciously.

Li Lin nodded: "Very likely."

“But…this is absurd.” Fang Fengzhi said, puzzled, “We are all comrades, why…do this?”

Li Lin laughed and said, "Perhaps this person is a spy from Yuecheng!"

Fang Fengzhi remained silent; he knew this was quite likely.

Although Yue County is an enemy, the two sides share the same language, ethnicity, and appearance, making it easy for them to infiltrate each other.

The rebels sent many spies over, and the imperial court must have sent many as well.

The effect should be pretty good.

Otherwise, the rebels wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.

Anyone with a modicum of military knowledge knows that the longer a rebellion drags on, the smaller the chance of victory.

Is it that Qin Tuo doesn't want to attack?
It's definitely because there are a bunch of unresolved internal and external problems that have dragged things down.

Although the emperor is currently cultivating immortality and doesn't pay much attention to state affairs, the ministers in the court are still quite capable.

At this moment, Li Lin was pacing back and forth in the military camp.

After following them for a while, Fang Zhifeng couldn't help but ask, "Supervisor Li, you've circled around three times now. Have you discovered anything?"

"I'm waiting for that thing underground to stop."

Fang Fengzhi asked in surprise, "You can see that monster that burrows underground?"

"It's not about seeing, it's about feeling."

This strange creature was 'born' not long ago and has not yet been able to restrain its yin energy.

Although the underground can conceal the yin energy to some extent, it cannot be completely eliminated.

Li Lin walked for a while longer, then stopped under a large tree.

There are many large trees in the military camp, so that the soldiers can have a place to rest and cool off after training.

Li Lin arrived here, gripped the red-tasseled spear tightly, and after the tip of the spear emitted a white light, he immediately thrust it directly into the ground.

Chi!
The spear pierced the ground at an extremely fast speed.

Only a small section of the gun barrel remained.

Then, something seemed to be moving violently beneath the ground, causing this small patch of ground to tremble slightly, and the exposed gun barrels were also shaking.

The trembling stopped quickly.

Fang Fengzhi swallowed hard and asked, "Is it resolved?" "Resolved." Li Lin nodded. "Please have Commander Fang send someone to dig up the ground, drag out what's underneath, and then burn it with a fire."

"Can't we just leave it underground?"

"I'm afraid it will start moving again."

Hiss... Fang Fengzhi understood and immediately shouted, "Did you hear that? Go to the camp and call more people to dig this place up with shovels."

Several people ran back as fast as they could, and soon a large crowd arrived.

After bowing to Li Lin and Fang Fengzhi, these people immediately got to work.

The soldiers also had to cultivate the land, so every soldier was a skilled worker.

In less than the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, this group of people dug a pit two zhang deep in the ground.

Then someone exclaimed, "We've dug up black blood! It stinks... dig faster!"

"I saw it, it's green-haired."

"Get a rope, quick, tie him up and drag him up. Anyone who's free, go gather firewood and start a fire."

A group of people shouted and dragged the monster, which was two zhang deep underground, up and threw it onto the fire.

Fang Fengzhi watched the whole thing with a deathly pale face. He was terrified, but he didn't leave. He watched until the thing was thrown into the fire before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned to look at Li Lin: "Li Dujian is amazing. Your spear is only a little over ten feet long, yet it was able to pierce a monster two feet deep underground. You are a master."

He couldn't help but marvel.

Li Lin smiled. His spear was indeed only a little over ten feet long, but... his spear technique was highly accomplished, and the 'qi' condensed from his spear intent alone could be lethal to enemies around three feet away.

Otherwise, Chu Rengong wouldn't have been in such a passive position a dozen days ago. Her swordsmanship was quite good, but Li Lin forced her to only parry and she had no way to counterattack.

In the end, it was only through magical arts that Li Lin was severely injured.

Li Lin watched as the monster was burned to ashes.

During this process, the True Lords with dragon heads and human bodies also floated over. They looked at the monster in the fire, and when they looked at Li Lin, there was some surprise in their eyes.

However, he didn't seem hostile; he just looked a little annoyed and clicked his tongue.

He looked unhappy because he had nothing fun to watch.

Li Lin thought it was normal.

Most True Lords do not have much affection for living people.

Even the Tree Fairy Goddess used to treat the villagers with an attitude of "take it or leave it."

I don't want to care at all.

It was only after Li Lin arrived that she began to show some protectiveness towards him, out of affection for him.

Once he confirmed that the grotesque corpse had turned to ashes, Fang Fengzhi walked over, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Supervisor Li, I owe you a favor. If you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"No need for that, it was just a small favor," Li Lin said with a smile, returning the greeting.

Fang Fengzhi wanted to say something more, but at that moment, Mu Yi walked over with several guards.

"What happened here? Why is there a fire? It's not even night yet," Mu Yi said, twitching his nose. "Why does it smell like roasting rotten meat?"

"Chief Commander!"

Li Lin and Fang Fengzhi clasped their hands in a salute at the same time.

"What's burning in here?" Mu Yi pointed to the fire.

“A monstrous corpse,” Li Lin said.

"Strange!" Mu Yi frowned. "There are True Monarchs protecting this place, how could there be any strange creatures here?"

“Even ghosts are different…” Li Lin explained, “A ghost with a physical body can move around within the area guarded by a True Lord.”

Mu Yi was stunned. He actually knew about this, but he was still incredulous after hearing it: "Aren't physical demons very rare?"

"But there was indeed one here, and many people saw it."

Mu Yi immediately felt a chill run down his spine; he had always been most afraid of these kinds of things.

He turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him, as if they might all be treacherous.

He then said, "Commander Li, I will set up my main tent next to yours from now on... Don't let those things get close to me."
