"One against a hundred... or rather, several hundred, really," Fei Yue couldn’t help but exclaim again as he looked at the dense pile of dead bodies on the ground.
"Fei Yue, there’s no point in saying that. I ca up to launch a sneak attack, shooting them in the head before they could even react. It’s nothing special," Lin Yue remarked casually, while examining the patterns on the giant mural in front of him.
"Co on, nothing special you say? If you asked to do the sa, I could fight a whole day!"
Fei Yue walked over to Lin Yue’s side, looking at this young man.
He now had a newfound understanding of Lin Yue.
"Fight a whole day? You’re exaggerating." Lin Yue turned his head, looking at the others. "Just now was too dangerous. Fei Yue, do you know what would happen to all of humanity if you actually died? You brought so few people in... does it really seem like only you can enter these Underground Ruins?"
Fei Yue scratched the back of his head, "Who would have thought Lily Kalahao’s people would co to ambush... Wait, where are our people?"
Lin Yue pointed outside, "All tied up and knocked out. Looks like they really wanted to capture you alive. Next ti, stack your people at the entrance; who acts this relaxedly and leaves them in open areas? Now, let’s hurry out and talk outside."
Before they arrived, Lin Yue had already ordered the Little Ice Lizard to collect the storage space light spots from Lily Kalahao’s subordinates’ corpses together for him.
A total of just under 1500 cubic ters, honestly, not bad.
However, to him, it was better than nothing.
Carrying out the people who were tied up and knocked out, they followed Lin Yue and quickly returned to the surface. The people on the ground, seeing Lin Yue bringing the leader up so swiftly, were first stunned and then burst into cheers.
Lin Yue followed Fei Yue to a conference-room-like place in the main Shelter, and here, Lin Yue once again saw the figure of Xing Lingfeng.
The old guy was still unconscious, Lin Yue checked him out, finding he was slightly injured, nothing serious. Now unconscious... maybe he was faking it.
"Lin Yue, thank you a lot this ti. Without you, we might still be blocked by those people above. When more of them arrived, we would have really been dood, hahaha."
In truth, Fei Yue was still quite shaken now.
Indeed, he was careless this ti.
This ti, he rushed into the Lizardman’s lair with barely a hundred people, thinking they could break through the Underground Ruins with powerful weapons as always.
Indeed, things were developing that way—they reached the final big room and found the secret hidden space. However, the situation quickly turned dire.
If it weren’t for Lin Yue’s tily arrival, they might not have been able to get out of trouble.
Perhaps, afterwards, they would have been captured by Lily Kalahao’s people, and then it would have been nearly impossible for Lin Yue to rescue them.
"Next ti, when you lead the team, can you bring more people? This is too dangerous." Lin Yue glanced at Xing Lingfeng, signaling Fei Yue to talk elsewhere since the old guy was still alive, not dead.
Everyone has the ability to send information out; if they spoke here and the old guy overheard sothing and sent it to Lily Kalahao, wouldn’t that be giving them free intel?
Fei Yue imdiately understood, having his n take the old guy deep underground to be strictly guarded. Then he relaxed, "I say, you look really impressive. What is it, have you beco Iron Man?"
"This, wait until it’s stable, and I’ll get you a Fla-Throwing Flying Device. Then you can fly in the sky... No, stay on the ground for . If you want to go underground, take more people, especially with these newly recruited fighters. Pay more attention to them; I suggest you keep close confidants by your side. Your importance is greater than you think. Fei Yue, if you die, everything collapses, even your Refugee Village might fall apart."
Lin Yue now felt sowhat helpless about this naive guy.
Indeed, Fei Yue’s leadership, combat strengths, and control over the larger picture made his stature in the Refugee Village unparalleled.
But even as capable as he was, he was still human, just a person.
When he sent all his trusted subordinates out to fight, the powerful forces seemingly around him were actually the most vulnerable.
Just like this ti, taking a hundred people to explore the Underground Ruins. If it weren’t for Lin Yue’s system tablet, which allowed him to receive ssages within the Secret Realm, it might have been too late by the ti he realized about Fei Yue’s situation—Fei Yue might have already been captured by Lily Kalahao, rendering all efforts futile.
"Striking externally, internally depleted... haha, it reminds of a story Third Master once told ." Fei Yue was still shaken, shaking his head.
"A story?" Lin Yue frowned, "You still have the mind to tell a story?"
"Haha, just sothing to say, listen, maybe you can gain sothing from it," Fei Yue cleared his throat and continued, "Third Master once told that in Neon Country a few hundred years ago, there was a person nad Oda Nobunaga. This person was formidable; he started as a provincial lord and gradually beca a dominant figure in Neon. He had many elite soldiers under his command, and each one could devastate the opponents. Third Master ntioned nas like Shibata, Toyotomi, Niwa, and Ikeida being very strong. Among his sons, the eldest was also very capable, but there was one capable in both arts and war, called Akechi... what was it?"
"Mitsunari Akechi." Lin Yue followed up, "That person was highly favored by Oda Nobunaga, rising from a small leader to a brigade commander. Later, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, attacking another enemy, wanted his master Oda Nobunaga to enjoy the fruits of victory, so he sent several letters urging Oda Nobunaga to leave his castle for Honno-Ji, accompanied by his eldest son. Eventually, Mitsunari Akechi, the brigade commander nearest to Honno-Ji in Kyo, suddenly revolted. In the battle, Oda Nobunaga and his heir, the eldest son, with few soldiers around them, also perished. Later, this event was nad the Incident at Honno-Ji!"
"Right, sothing about a temple incident, Lin Yue, you actually know this too."
Fei Yue admitted he had forgotten most of the figures in the story but rembered sothing along these lines.
"I... once worked at a video ga store, and they had gas called Musou that many played. I watched behind them, then went ho, looked it up, and rembered it. At the ti, it seed shocking, considering how such a formidable figure could let himself beco so internally depleted, leading to such an event and perishing before claiming Neon."
Lin Yue explained one last ti.
Indeed, at that ti, it seed just shocking.
But now that Fei Yue had encountered sothing similar, he recalled the story once more.
"Haha, you’re quite knowledgeable. What is it that you can’t do?" Fei Yue couldn’t help but admire Lin Yue even more.
"Enough with the flattery. Next ti if you personally go out, you should prepare on all fronts. Our enemies are not just the Lizardman. Fei Yue, any force that doesn’t want to join you is your enemy. You can succeed ten thousand tis, conquering these Refugee Villages, but fail once, and everything collapses. Do you understand?"
Lin Yue felt really uneasy about him in this aspect.
Fei Yue had a big heart, sotis overlooking small matters.
Hopefully, this incident will be a lesson for him.
"Haha, I get it, I get it. But didn’t we gain from this disaster? Captured that old guy... Right, Lin Yue, why catch him? I’ve never understood why we must catch him."
Fei Yue suddenly rembered this question.
Lin Yue took a deep breath, ensuring no one was around. Then, in a whisper, he conveyed to Fei Yue the significant importance of Xing Lingfeng.
"Fei Yue, listen carefully, apart from Xing Lingfeng’s group, it’s likely only the two of us know this. After telling you, you can’t disclose this to anyone temporarily. We have too little information to be completely certain."
"Just say it, why so mysterious." Fei Yue beca tense as well.
"Xing Lingfeng possesses a thod that could allow us to return to Earth fully!"
