The man in the black bamboo hat nodded. The Great Fire Lion was cannon fodder, and so was Hu Ling. After this incident, the spirit beast clan would know that Hu Ling had been controlled by the central government. Otherwise, why would they be willing to give up the position of leader to help a weak spirit beast like the Great Fire Lion?
Junior Brother Pao's meaning was very clear. He wanted to use these two dispensable cannon fodder spirit beasts to test the attitude of the spirit beast clan. In the Zhen Duan Sea area, who was the one who kept his word?
If the spirit beast clan acquiesced to Junior Brother Pao's nonsensical personnel arrangement, it would mean that Central's right to speak in this area had surpassed the spirit beast clan. If it suffered a strong rebound, it would mean that the cooperation between the two sides was only superficial. The entire zhenduan Sea area was only given to central verbally. In fact, the spirit beast clan did not mean it.
"Junior Brother Pao is indeed thoughtful. Let's just wait and see how the spirit beasts react before we make any plans." The man with the black bamboo hat still didn't think Junior Brother Pao was right, but he didn't object. There was no loss in trying anyway. It would be good for his future plans if he could understand the thoughts of the spirit beasts.
After the two came to an agreement, the matter was settled. At the same time, the dejected Hu Ling, Zheng Tianqing, and lang Qi returned to Lin Yi's hut. The big fire Lion hadn't changed shifts yet, so Hu Ling called him to an empty hut and talked to it with Zheng Tianqing for a dozen minutes.
When it came out, the big fire Lion was still a little dazed, not understanding how it suddenly became the leader of these spirit beasts guarding Lin Yi.
With his strength, although he wasn't the weakest of all the guards, he was at least in the bottom three. How could he be the leader just like that?
No matter what, it was good for Lin Yi. After the big fire Lion understood this, he didn't reject it. He had to think of a way to save Lin Yi first. Nothing else was important.
Hu Ling gathered all the spirit beast guards and made an announcement. However, he did not dare to directly say that the Great Fire Lion was the guard leader. After all, there were people from various factions in the spirit beast clan among these people. He could not be too obvious or it would be difficult to explain.
After everyone had left, the big fire Lion found an empty space and went to Lin Yi with the excuse of checking on Lin Yi's refining progress.
"Benefactor, I've suddenly become the head of the guards. If you're willing to leave, the success rate will be several times higher than before. Take this opportunity and quickly leave with me, okay?" The fire Lion came over to tell Lin Yi what happened and to persuade Lin Yi to leave again.
Lin Yi's rejection was normal, but the fire Lion felt that the success rate was at least 60% this time, so he mustered up the courage to try again.
"Great Fire Lion, it's the same no matter how many times you say this. I won't leave with you, so you don't have to persuade me anymore. Tell me how you became the head of the guards again and don't leave out any details. I have a feeling that this matter isn't that simple." Lin Yi waved his hand. He wasn't going to leave this place right now, so it was important to see through the enemy's plan.
"I'm also a little confused about this matter. According to Zheng Tianqing, it seems that the man in the black bamboo hat, who is cooperating with our spirit beast clan, saw my potential and arranged for me to take over the spirit beast guard. I don't know the details, so I can only repeat what he said. " The Great Fire Lion suppressed the confusion in its heart and completely copied Zheng Tianqing's words.
"Is that so? It's indeed a little strange. " Lin Yi pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. From all the signs, it seemed that the man with the red Bamboo hat was helping them, intentionally or otherwise. This really shouldn't have happened!
Could it be Zhang naipao? Was he helping Lin Yi's group because of Zhong pinliang?
If that was the case, wouldn't it have been better if they hadn't been caught in the first place? But Speaking of which, the ones who caught them seemed to be from the spirit beast clan, and it really had nothing to do with Junior Brother Pao.
Lin Yi shook his head and decided to put this matter aside for now. He couldn't do anything without confirming Pao's identity, and he'd have to meet this guy in person if he had the chance.
"Great Fire Lion, will you attend the coronation ceremony of the king of spirit beasts?" Lin Yi remembered that he was making pills for this.
"Yes, the coronation ceremony of the king of the spirit beasts is a grand event for the entire spirit beast clan. All the spirit beasts will participate. Anyway, the entire South continent is under the control of our clan, so there won't be any problem if we withdraw the guards on that day. Whoever dares to make trouble at that time will have to bear the anger of the entire spirit beast clan. I believe no one would dare to do such a thing." The Great Fire Lion looked proud. After staying in the spirit beast clan for a few years, he had developed a sense of belonging to the entire spirit beast clan.
"I also want to see it. Do you have any way to take me there?" Lin Yi didn't stand on ceremony. The big fire Lion even dared to release it secretly, so it shouldn't be a problem to take him to the coronation ceremony to see it.
As expected, the Great Fire Lion nodded readily and said,""It's a small matter. I'll Take You There to have a look. If there's a chance, it's best to leave the South continent. Speaking of which, it's really a good opportunity for you to leave when the coronation ceremony is here, because all the high-level executives will be gathered at that time. Without the supervision of experts, it will be much more convenient for you to leave. "
"We'll talk about this when the time comes. Great Fire Lion, it's time for you to leave. If you stay too long, you'll arouse suspicion." Lin Yi waved at the big fire Lion. He didn't think that the big fire Lion, the cheap guard leader, could suppress all the guards. When it was time to be careful, it was better to be careful!
The big fire Lion understood this as well, so after saying goodbye to Lin Yi, he turned and left the grass hut, continuing to plan Lin Yi's escape route and preparation.
In the following days, everything became extremely calm. Xiong Bao didn't come looking for trouble with Lin Yi and Li Zao Yi anymore-he must've been warned by the Azure Dragon when he went back to report, so the spirit beasts that came to get the pills were very polite to Lin Yi and the others. There wasn't a problem with the quantity of the pills, and it didn't matter even if one pill was missing.
The only strange thing was that Hu Ling had disappeared. No one knew where he went. Some said he ran away, some said he was secretly killed, and some said otherwise. Anyway, he just disappeared and no one saw him again. Lin Yi didn't care about that. He only cared about the king of spirit beasts 'coronation ceremony!
The fire Lion had not been having a good time recently. He was a weak guard leader. When Hu Ling was around, he could still have some confidence. But since Hu Ling disappeared, the guards who were much stronger than him had a backlash.
