Douluo Dalu: Start with a Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgement

Chapter 486 Return to the Far North
With the hard work of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group's Soul Instructors, seven or eight metal pillars were nailed into the ground, each of which penetrated more than thirty meters into the ground, leaving only twelve meters outside.

Next, the Sun-Moon Empire army began to build some machines around these metal pillars based on them.

These machines were of high precision and looked very complicated in structure. Ji Lin could not understand them at all. He could only guess from the fluctuations of soul power coming from them that they were also some kind of soul guide device.

However, these are not important to Ji Lin. He just needs to make sure that the super-large metal vein is here. Then he just needs to go to the Arctic Ice Field, borrow the prestige of the Snow Empress, and command the soul beasts of the Arctic Ice Field to charge at the army of the Sun and Moon Empire, and that's it.

Soon, night fell, and after being busy for several hours, the soul masters of the Sun-Moon Empire returned to their tents. At night, the temperature in the Arctic ice field would drop a lot, and even soul masters could not stand working in such a harsh environment!

The sky had completely darkened, and in the biting cold wind, the snow on the ground was blown up and turned into large flakes of ice powder. Not only was the temperature of this ice powder extremely low, but when mixed with the cold wind, it was like steel needles that could penetrate any pore. If an ordinary person's skin was exposed, it would only take a short while for the skin to dry out and get frostbite.

Ji Lin was not in a hurry to go to the Arctic ice field. He needed to make sure that there was indeed a super-large metal vein here, so he didn't mind waiting for two more days. After all, he had already spent so much time, and he didn't want to ruin things because of lack of patience. What if those metal pillars were not for collecting ore? What if he had misunderstood and made a mistake? He would have to observe for two more days.

……

When Ji Lin stopped meditating, it was already the next morning. The sky was just turning pale, and the cold wind was howling, bringing bursts of biting cold. The frost on the ice surface was shining coldly in the morning light, like a silent silver world.

Unlike the inland, the days in the Far North are relatively shorter. Although the sky is bright now, it still looks gloomy.

Ji Lin looked at the Sun-Moon Empire's military camp from a distance of five kilometers. Early in the morning, the soul guides and soldiers of the Sun-Moon Empire had already started to get busy. They were much more diligent than Ji Lin. They were still building something based on the foundation built yesterday.

Ji Lin stood in the snow and observed the military camp boredly for the whole day.

As for the Sun-Moon Empire, because a large number of soul guides participated in the work, the machines were completed very quickly. In just one day, a simple base covering an area of ​​500 square meters was completed. Among them, a huge machine caught Ji Lin's attention.

Below this gigantic soul-guiding machine is a drill-like structure. The diameter of this drill is more than five meters and it is hoisted. The overall size of the machine is quite huge. The metal pillars before are its infrastructure, and some fixed devices are built on the basis of the metal pillar structure.

When Ji Lin saw this soul-guided machine, his eyes lit up. His wait was finally worth it. Such a large drilling machine, Ji Lin didn't believe it was not used for digging holes and mining.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin did not continue to stay where he was and observe, but ran to a farther place, took off and flew into the air.

Intelligence shows that this metal vein was originally discovered jointly by the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire on the eve of the war. However, due to the war, the Tianhun Empire did not have time to send a mining team, nor did it have the energy to mine.

Although the Tianhun Empire has no energy, the Douling Empire, whose territory has not yet been invaded by the Sun and Moon Empire, has energy! As long as Ji Lin finds the mining point of the Douling Empire nearby, he can determine the target and start the action.

Flying into the air, the view becomes wider, making it easier for Ji Lin to find the mining sites of the Douling Empire.

The wind in the air was freezing and the temperature was even lower, but these did not pose a problem for Ji Lin. With his ability to manipulate ice and snow, he was able to completely block out the cold wind.

Flying high into the sky, Ji Lin looked down and soon he found the target.

About fifty kilometers away from the Sun-Moon Empire's army garrison, there was also a group of barracks in the Douling Empire. After finding the target, Ji Lin turned around and headed towards the Douling Empire. He was afraid of being discovered by the Sun-Moon Empire's high-altitude detection soul guide device, so he didn't dare to get close. But he had no worries about the Douling Empire. With the Douling Empire's soul guide technology, it would be difficult for them to discover him.

A distance of dozens of kilometers was covered in a flash.

The Douling Empire was apparently still unaware that a large army from the Sun-Moon Empire had already arrived. After all, it was difficult to march in this icy and snowy land, not to mention that the Sun-Moon Empire's army was stationed within the Tianhun Empire.

The Douling Empire could never have imagined that the Sun-Moon Empire's army would be on the other side.

The location chosen by the Sun-Moon Empire was also very good, just outside the Douling Empire's warning range. If they got any closer, they might be discovered by the Douling Empire's scouts.

Undoubtedly, the Sun-Moon Empire has the Fire Phoenix Soul Mentor Group, so it is effortless to kill the army of the Douling Empire. However, if they do so, it will inevitably alert the Douling Empire, and the Douling Empire will definitely send a large army to attack. In that case, the Sun-Moon Empire will have no spare energy to mine the veins, which will not be worth the loss and run counter to their purpose. For the Sun-Moon Empire, the later it is exposed, the better. This super-large metal vein is large enough, and there is no need to worry about colliding with the mining team of the Douling Empire in a short time. Quietly landing around the Douling Empire barracks, Ji Lin's spiritual detection immediately explored the barracks here like a big net.

Soon, he found out what he wanted to know.

The barracks on the Douling Empire's side have obviously existed for a long time. Next to the barracks, there is an army of two thousand people stationed. In addition, there are a large number of workers busy at work.

It is freezing cold on the ground, but the temperature below ground is much higher. Yes, these workers work below ground, mining some minerals.

Rare metal!
Finally I saw the goal of this trip.

The distance between the Douling Empire and the Sun-Moon Empire is more than 50 kilometers. This super-large metal vein is at least 50 kilometers across. How many metal mines are there! No wonder the Sun-Moon Empire did not hesitate to send a national defense team to mine here.

This mineral vein would be a great advantage to any empire that obtained it during the war. Originally, this mineral vein was located at the border between the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, and was divided between the two sides. The Sun-Moon Empire and the Xingluo Empire had nothing to do with it. But now, the Tianhun Empire was crippled, and the Sun-Moon Empire replaced it. Ji Lin was also ready to snatch the mineral vein and get involved on behalf of the Xingluo Empire.

Even if there was no demand, Ji Lin did not intend to let the Sun-Moon Empire obtain this mineral vein. If the Sun-Moon Empire obtained a large amount of rare metal support here, it was unknown how many soul guides it could produce to deal with the three kingdoms originally belonging to Douluo Continent.

The Sun-Moon Empire is already strong enough, and Ji Lin, as a secret chess player, has to cut it down and weaken it.

However, Ji Lin is not in a hurry now. The reason is very simple. To mine such a vein of minerals, it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It will not show results in one or two days. The Sun-Moon Empire also needs to carry out long-term mining. Looking at the current situation of the Sun-Moon Empire, it should first establish a mining base, and then mine as soon as possible and transport it back to the Sun-Moon Empire.

In this case, Ji Lin simply waited for the Sun-Moon Empire to mine a part of it, and then directly intercepted it. After all, if it were him who was mining the ore, even with the help of the Arctic ice beasts, he could not compare with the Sun-Moon Empire which had professional personnel and professional soul guide equipment.

Thinking of this, Ji Lin showed a wicked smile on his face. "I have been following you all the way and sleeping in the open air. You guys are eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, but I can only eat dry food in a miserable way. I have to give you a surprise, otherwise how can I justify the dry food I have eaten these days."

"Snow Emperor, Ice Emperor." Ji Lin's mind moved slightly, and he summoned the two Ice and Snow Emperors who were sleeping in the holy scar space.

Two rays of light flashed, and the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor emerged from his body at the same time.

Because of the nourishment of the Holy Scar Space and the improvement of Ji Lin's cultivation, the origin of the Ice and Snow Emperors has been greatly enhanced. If the Snow Emperor still had her real body, she would be confident enough to survive the seventh heavenly tribulation.

"What is this? Are we back to the Far North?"

As soon as Bingdi and Xuedi appeared, they found that the environment they were in was very familiar, which gave them a sense of intimacy. They instantly understood where Ji Lin was.

Ji Lin told Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor the purpose of his visit to the Far North this time, and pointed to the Sun-Moon Empire camp in the distance, saying: "The Sun-Moon Empire has already started. They want to mine the rare metals here, and I want to grab this resource."

Bingdi crossed his arms and said casually, "That's easy. We'll go find A Tai, drive them all away, and then we can mine it ourselves."

Xue Di nodded and said calmly: "Bing'er is right. This is our territory. They actually dared to dig for food at our doorstep. They are looking for death."

Ji Lin smiled, he liked the attitude of Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor. That's right, this was Snow Emperor's territory, which was also his, Ji Lin's territory. The Sun and Moon Empire came to his territory to snatch food, they were simply robbers, he had to teach them a lesson.

Xue Di pointed her right hand at the ground, and the surrounding ice and snow immediately turned into a large cyclone. Snowflakes flew and the temperature around them dropped sharply. She chuckled and said, "I didn't expect to be back home so soon. It feels so good to be home."

Ice Emperor also nodded and said, "Yes! I originally thought it would take a long time, or even that there would be no chance for him to come back, but I didn't expect him to come back so soon. Let's go, Ji Lin, let's go to the core circle to find A Tai. He is now the master of the Arctic Ice Field. To command the Arctic Soul Beasts, we still need his consent. Let them do whatever they want here."
