Bankruptcy beast.

"Everyone, this is the Lin's residence."

Lin Mu pointed at the huge building complex in front of him that was antique and shaped like an ancient imperial palace, and said.

"The roads here are quite complicated, so you must follow me closely later."

"Oh...is this really your home?"

Jiang Chen smacked his lips. These buildings were obviously ancient buildings, which meant that this place was most likely an imperial palace in the past.

As the owner of this building, could the Lin family have been a royal family in the past?
"It was handed down from our ancestors. It's a little old. I hope you don't mind."

Lin Mu smiled faintly and said, "Because we need to place the core of the natural trench, half of the Lin family members live here."

"Some are stationed at the other end of the Elemental Forest. The environment there is worse because it is close to the wilderness. I will take you there later."

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that the Lin family, like the Ye family, had placed their family headquarters on the outer layer of the natural moat.

It is estimated that if the Lin family did not have to protect the core of the natural trench, they would not have divided their troops into two groups.

"No, no, no, I think it's fine to stay here."

Xiao Yan rarely took the initiative to admit defeat and walked quickly towards the ancient building, fearing that if he spoke too late, Lin Mu would take them to another base.

"Master Yan's behavior... is quite suspicious~"

Jiang Chen stroked his chin, suddenly moved closer to Lin Mu, and asked quietly: "Can I ask where the sisters you mentioned are stationed?"

"Of course it's the Elemental Forest Station. Those who stay there are all practical envoys, and they usually don't come here very often."

Lin Mu explained with a smile: "But I guess Brother Yan won't think about it anymore."

"understood."

Jiang Chen understood what was going on. Xiao Yan's attitude was very clear. It was obvious that he didn't want to meet Lin Mu's sisters.

But the more Master Yan resisted, the more Jiang Chen became interested in these sisters.

Don't get me wrong, Jiang Chen has no interest in being a thief, he just simply wants to take a look at the Shura Field.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen secretly glanced at Baili Honglian, his eyes full of amusement.

Although he could see that Baili Honglian really had no interest in Xiao Yan, he was still looking forward to their meeting.

Under the guidance of Lin Mu, Jiang Chen stepped into this ancient and magnificent palace.

Just as Lin Mu said, the roads here are extremely complicated. Every step you take seems to change the scene. In addition, there are high walls on both sides of the road, and it is difficult to judge the direction from the sun. It is easy to get lost here.

But the most important thing is that Jiang Chen noticed the existence of runes in many places in this palace complex.

"That's right. The Lin family's research on treasures is the strongest in the entire federation. There seems to be nothing wrong with applying it in their own base."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. After all, this place was used to protect the core of the natural trench. It would be a bit unreasonable if the defense was not perfect.

However, Jiang Chen still sensed some strange auras along the way.

Almost all the Lin family members he encountered looked hurried and walked quickly, as if they were busy dealing with something.

Could it be that there is something wrong with the core of the natural chasm?

"Everyone, we're here."

Finally, Lin Mu stopped in front of an independent courtyard and said, "This Tianhua Garden is specially for you to rest. You can rest here during your stay in the Southern Region."

"There are quite a few rooms inside, you can choose any one you like, and no one else will disturb you."

Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. This treatment was the same as when he was in the Ye family. However, these big families were really willful. Such a big house was used as a guest room casually. He really didn't know when he could buy such a house.

"Jiang Chen, let me take you to find my father first. They are already waiting for you."

"it is good."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, glanced at Xiao Yan and Baili Honglian, and said, "Senior Baili, Master Yan, I'll leave for a while."

"President, don't worry. I will take good care of the senior."

Xiao Yan regained his original dissolute temperament and approached Baili Honglian to show his courtesy.

But Baili Honglian obviously had no intention of answering Xiao Yan. After replying with "get lost", she found an empty room and began to meditate.

She didn't know Jiang Chen's little tricks, but she knew that Jiang Chen asked her for help not because he was bored, but because he really needed to rely on her fighting power.

Therefore, she needs to maintain her fighting ability at the best condition.

"Hey... who did I offend? This young master has a bad luck."

Seeing the two people leave one after another, Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, picked up Qian Jiao and looked at it, and said: "Mo, you have been sleeping long enough, why don't you come out and chat with me?"

The void was completely silent, and Mo showed no sign of appearing.

"Really...it seems like I have to be more honest recently."

Xiao Zhe lay down on the grass in an ungraceful manner, looking at the clear sky above his head, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"This sky...is getting uglier."

……

"Lin Mu, is there really something wrong with the Tianqian system?"

Looking at Lin Mu who was leading the way in front, Jiang Chen couldn't help but ask this question.

"...If someone else asked me, I would say no, but if it was you..." Lin Mu hesitated and said, "The damage caused by the Fire Scale Disaster to the Natural Scar system is worse than we expected. Although we managed to rebuild three layers of defense, the strength is much weaker than before."

"The most critical thing is that there are many loopholes in the natural ditch system. Once it encounters a major impact, it is very likely to suffer irreparable damage."

At this point, Lin Mu's face also showed a trace of fatigue, and he said: "Although we have come up with a way to repair it, there have been many forces attacking the natural trench system recently, which has greatly delayed our repair progress."

Jiang Chen understood. Apart from the sudden attack by the unintentional person, the other thing Lin Mu mentioned should be the Sky-Splitting Cone.

Compared to the accidental attacks by the Careless Ones, something like the Sky-Splitting Cone, which could be spread throughout the Federation and could directly pierce through three layers of defense, was more threatening.

But now that we have a goal, it will be easier to deal with.

"Don't worry, this is one of the reasons why I came here this time."

Jiang Chen patted Lin Mu's shoulder and said.

"That would be perfect."

Lin Mu forced a smile. Although he was very unwilling, he really couldn't help much with his current strength. He could only try his best to help manage the family business.

With the full promotion of the treasure, Lin's assets skyrocketed again, attracting the envy of many people.

But Lin Mu knew very well that the reason why the Lin family launched a treasure whose technology was not yet fully mature at this time was to make up for the harm that might be caused by the damage to the Tianqian system.

If the Tianqian system completely collapses one day, Lin hopes that humans will not be helpless when facing evil spirits.

"This is it. Father and the clan leader are waiting for you inside."

Lin Mu stopped and pointed at a simple wooden house in front of him, with no intention of following.

It was obvious that Lin only planned to meet Jiang Chen this time.

"it is good."

Jiang Chen didn't ask any more questions and walked forward and pushed open the wooden door.

The furnishings inside the wooden house are very simple, with a bit of the style of a farmhouse.

In the center of the wooden house, Lin Dong, CEO of the Lin Group, and another old man were sitting there quietly waiting.

"Jiang Chen, you are here."

"Uncle Lin, long time no see."

Jiang Chen bowed slightly, then looked at the old man and said, "Junior greets Patriarch Lin."

"No need to be so polite. I don't have so many rules here."

Patriarch Lin waved his hand and smiled, "Manager Luo said you have something important to tell us, but you are unwilling to tell us over the phone."

"I'm very curious about what's going on, so I called you over in such a hurry. I hope you don't mind."

"of course not."

Jiang Chen shook his head, but his eyes unconsciously drifted to every corner of the wooden house.

"Don't worry, no one can hear our conversation in this place."

Chief Lin paused the wooden crutch in his hand, and golden runes suddenly appeared and spread throughout the wooden house.

This wooden house is like a treasure!
"In that case, I'll tell you straight away."

Jiang Chen exhaled a breath and told Patriarch Lin about the matter of the Kaitian Cone in detail.

After hearing what Jiang Chen said, the expressions of Patriarch Lin and Lin Dong became gloomy.

Manager Luo really didn’t tell them. Could it be that he was worried about being eavesdropped?

Jiang Chen didn't think that Qimingxing and the four major families had no confidential communication channels, but he still didn't dare to tell them the details remotely. It seemed that these traitors had infiltrated deeper than he thought.

"We were also aware of the situation you described, but we didn't expect it to be like this."

Finally, Lin Dong and Lin clan leader spoke again and said: "The Tianqian system has indeed reported a lot of similar situations during this period, but since it has not appeared in the South Region, we are just trying our best to repair it."

"It seems that the Avalanche Organization is worried that we will find out too early, so they avoided the area covered by the core of the natural chasm."

Although it is also protected by the natural barrier, the defense strength of the Southern Region is naturally unmatched by other places.

The probability of successfully activating the Kaitian Cone here is probably much higher than in other places.

only……

Jiang Chen suddenly became frustrated, and wondered whether the Avalanche Organization would come to the Southern Region to cause some damage and directly destroy the core of the natural barrier.

However, he did not expect that the other party had no intention of taking any action here. It seemed that his dream of collecting the crystals of the world was doomed to be shattered.

"But if the Avalanche Organization's goal is really to summon the gods to descend, we may have a chance to completely repair the natural chasm system."

At this moment, Patriarch Lin suddenly said something that shocked Jiang Chen.

"Completely repair the natural chasm? Is this possible?"

Jiang Chen was a little confused. Just now Lin Mu was saying that it might not be repairable, but now he directly talked about completely repairing it.

"Although it's a bit risky, there is no better way at the moment."

Chief Lin smiled and said, "But I need you to go to [Rat] again on our behalf." (End of this chapter)
