Lin Fan is dead!
This is definitely a bombshell.
Lin Fan is Lin Yu's younger brother. How heartbroken would Lin Yu be without Lin Fan?
If Lin Fan got angry and stopped sheltering them, how would they survive in this torrential rain?
Everyone became worried.
"Alas, Lin Fan was attacked by three exotic beasts. Before he died, he pushed General Feng away, letting himself be killed by the beasts."
"A hero saving a beauty. Lin Fan's affection runs deep."
"Alas, heroes have always been like this, valuing loyalty and righteousness."
"Look at General Feng's lost and distraught appearance. She clearly hasn't accepted the reality yet."
At this moment, Feng Mengqiu looked at the water surface, letting the rain drench her face. Tears and rain flowed down her cheeks.
Her sobbing made people unsure how to comfort her.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, Lin Fan's actions had been so impactful that they had instantly brought them closer.
Lin Yu watched this scene and cursed under his breath.
He returned to the bedroom and separated Lin Fan again.
"Oh dear, this is not easy. Where is Feng Mengqiu?"
As soon as Lin Fan appeared, his first words were Feng Mengqiu's name, clearly still thinking of her.
"You're dead, and she's heartbroken," Lin Yu teased.
Lin Fan immediately said, "Oh dear, I need to go find her."
"Go, but be careful when you go out, don't let anyone see you. It's best if you come out of the water."
"Don't worry, Brother, I know the principle of being cautious."
"Good, knowing that is enough. Go quickly."
"Alright, I'm leaving!"
Lin Fan didn't go out alone, but with other clones, so no one noticed him.
When he reached the shore, he plunged into the water with a splash.
On the shore, Feng Mengqiu looked grief-stricken.
Although her military career had given her a strong heart, she had never experienced romantic love. The moment Lin Fan saved her, her heart had been stirred!
Her heart had been stirred, but in the next moment, it was a life-and-death separation. Such a drastic turn of events was the hardest to accept.
"You... have a safe journey!"
"Oh dear, you little girl, how can you curse me to death?"
"Ah... you..."
Lin Fan leaped out of the water, looking at her with a smile.
Feng Mengqiu was disbelieving at first, then surprised, and finally overjoyed.
"Haha, don't cry, don't cry. My brother said he hasn't cooked today's meal yet. Come on, I'll go start a fire for you!"
Hearing this, she lowered her head and softly hummed in response.
..........
Bai Xiaosa and Lin Yu stood at the door, looking at the two of them acting so lovey-dovey, their expressions unreadable.
Bai Xiaosa sighed.
Lin Yu smiled, "Feeling lost?"
"No!"
"Hehe!"
One with a stern face, the other with a smiling one, they had a nonsensical conversation.
The heavy rain continued to fall. Lin Yu wondered if the sky had sprung a leak, how could it rain for so long?
In the blink of an eye, three more days passed.
The water level was already five to six meters deep.
Every night, Lin Yu went out hunting, dragging back exotic beasts and storing them in the warehouse as emergency rations.
In the past few days, he had purified many strange creatures, greatly reducing their numbers in the vicinity. Lin Yu now had to hunt in more distant locations.
Another starless, moonless, and pitch-black night.
Lin Yu captured all the strange creatures nearby, intending to refine soul beads using the Soul Refining Technique when he returned.
Then, he got up and walked outside.
He had killed all the fierce beasts in the vicinity. Coupled with the flood, many weak fierce beasts had no place to stand and most of them drowned. The rest had also fallen to Lin Yu.
He planned to hunt in another area today.
"Continue searching in this direction. According to the map given by the village chief of Willow Village, the next village after Giant Stone Village is in this direction, about fifty miles away from here!"
"Let's go!"
Lin Yu walked forward.
The journey was very quiet.
Suddenly, a claw from underwater grabbed his ankle.
Lin Yu snorted coldly. With a light stomp of his foot, the water surface froze into ice, and the fierce beast was frozen into a block.
Another stomp on the ice surface, and with continuous cracking sounds, the ice surface shattered with a roar. The frozen fierce beast also broke into pieces.
"Ding, you have killed Longclaw Fish (Fifth Order), upgrade points +12000."
Fish-like fierce beasts had begun to appear in the water.
Lin Yu's expression was impassive. He was used to it and continued to walk forward.
Later, he even had his ice clone freeze a path of ice, and he ran along the ice surface.
"This is faster, and I don't have to worry about the endless underwater fierce beasts."
Lin Yu ran at full speed, and the village ahead soon came into view.
Luoxi Village!
This was a village built beside a small stream named Luoxi. It had a population of about a thousand people, but it had now become a watery expanse.
Let alone the houses, only the tops of the trees were visible.
"I wonder if the stone tablet of this village is still here?"
"Let's search for it!"
The clones all dived into the water and began searching for the Soul Suppressing Tablet.
Generally, villages on the road to Guyun Country were large villages, so the Soul Suppressing Tablet would not be small. Even if it wasn't as large as Willow Village's, it wouldn't be too small.
Therefore, it wouldn't be difficult to find.
As expected, soon there was news that a clone had found the Soul Suppressing Tablet.
"Bring the stone tablet back!"
Looking at the Soul Suppressing Tablet before him, Lin Yu focused his soul power into his eyes. Only when he saw some unfamiliar characters did he feel relieved.
"Let's go back!"
Having gained something today, Lin Yu decided to return for now.
The journey back was uneventful.
In the bedroom.
Lin Yu murmured, "System, translate the content on the Soul Suppressing Tablet."
"Ding, one million upgrade points are required. Confirm translation?"
"Yes!"
"Ding, translation complete."
The next second, some information appeared in Lin Yu's mind.
Soul Slaying Technique: Condense soul power and attack the target's soul!
Lin Yu discovered that this was a purely offensive soul technique.
With a thought, he tried to condense a part of his mental energy into a small knife, and then changed it into a small sword.
With a thought, he could control the soul sword to fly out and attack enemies, but the range was not far. With his current strength, he could control it within a ten-meter range.
"This soul technique can be used to kill the souls of living beings, making it impossible to defend against."
He now had four soul techniques: Soul Refining Technique, Soul Controlling Technique, Soul Transcending Technique, and the newly acquired Soul Slaying Technique.
"There are still many Soul Suppressing Tablets. I need to speed up and try to learn all the soul techniques."
Just then, there was a commotion from outside.
Lin Yu walked out of the bedroom and asked, "What's happening outside?"
Bai Xiaosa said, "Some things have floated over, including the corpses of humans and fierce beasts, as well as some wood, daily necessities, and so on."
Lin Fan said, "Brother, we can keep the wood. Those corpses are too gruesome, I'll have someone burn them."
"Good, you did well!"
Lin Yu nodded.
It was getting more chaotic. Would the whole world be submerged?
He looked up at the sky, lost in thought.
..........
At the same time.
The capital of Guyun Country.
Yundu!
This was a city built on the peak of a mountain, shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.
However, at this moment, the entire capital was covered by thick dark clouds.
In the Imperial Palace, before a tall window.
A woman wearing a crown stood with a minister bowing slightly behind her.
The woman reached out her hand towards the window. Raindrops fell on her hand, feeling slightly cool.
She looked at the heavy rain outside the window and sighed.
"When will this downpour stop?"
"Your Majesty, according to past practice, the heavy rain will last for three hundred days!"
"After three hundred days, everything outside Yundu will turn into a marsh. Alas."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Is there any way to stop the heavy rain early?"
"Yes, but it is beyond human power."
"What way?"
"I don't know."
"Hmph, what good are you?" she said coldly, "You may leave."
"This humble minister takes his leave!"
