At this moment, in Great Lake Hongze, there was a broad island as large as several football fields.
From afar, wisps of mist could be seen rising from the island.
Under the rays of sunlight, streaks of rainbow light appeared in the sky.
Yet unfortunately, no one was around to admire such beautiful natural scenery.
Because at this moment, terrifying Demonic Auras shot into the sky from the island!
At the center of the island, surrounded by those Demons, a blue Water Essence Grass emitted a vapor dense with water elemental energy.
It attracted every Demon in the vicinity!
"Damn it, the Demons are already here!"
"Luckily, those Demons know what matters. No matter how fiercely they fight, they won't touch the Water Essence Grass!"
When Mu Rong arrived with his people, he immediately noticed the many Demons on the island.
"Fortunately, no Demon pack has come!"
"At most, there are only a few Great Commander Level Demons!"
After hearing Mu Rong's explanation,
the Mu Family members behind him all breathed sighs of relief.
A Demon pack and a Demon nest were not the same thing!
A Demon pack would have at least one Leader Level Demon as its leader.
Some powerful Demon packs even had three or four Leader Level Demons.
If there were Leader Level Demons on this island, they could forget about competing for the treasure.
They should obediently prepare to retreat!
"No time to lose, Uncle Mu Rong. Let's make our move immediately!"
"Clear out those Demons!"
Mu Lanxing looked at Mu Rong as he spoke, excitement gleaming in his eyes.
Mu Lanxing had awakened the Water Element at the intermediate level.
He was also close to breaking through to Intermediate Water Element Level Two. As long as they took this island,
he only needed to ask Mu Rong, and he would have every chance of using this dense water elemental power to break through.
Then, both his Fire Department and Water Element would reach Intermediate Level Two, increasing his strength once more.
"Wait!"
Mu Rong directly shook his head and stopped those who wanted to make a move.
Then he pointed at a patch of shrubs nearby.
"Brother Mu Rong, you really are capable. I can't believe you even noticed me!"
A shadow within the shrubs gradually faded away, replaced by a middle-aged man with a somewhat sinister expression.
As the middle-aged man appeared, figures behind him also revealed themselves.
"Lu Yinhuo!"
Mu Rong said flatly.
"My name is Lu Yinghuo!"
The instant Mu Rong said it, Lu Yinghuo's expression immediately turned ugly.
He glared viciously at Mu Rong across from him!
"I don't care what your name is. If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
Mu Rong seemed to have a grudge against this guy. Not a single pleasant word came out of his mouth.
"Don't worry!"
"The Lu Family isn't the only one who came!"
Lu Yinghuo smiled faintly, then glanced toward a hidden spot nearby.
Figures emerged from that concealed area as well, staring at Mu Rong!
"Bai Shaohuo!"
Mu Rong promptly gave the leading woman that nickname.
"Mu Rong, do you know how many people want to tear that mouth of yours apart?!"
The scantily dressed Bai Family woman glared fiercely at Mu Rong, flames burning in her eyes.
"Heh, of course I do!"
"But you aren't among them."
Mu Rong's expression remained utterly calm as he quietly looked at them.
On a distant cliff, the island covered in Water Essence Grass was fully visible.
They could even see the conflict among the three families.
However, what surprised Lin Yu was that the three families were basically still just trading words.
They had not truly started fighting.
"They're waiting—waiting for the Demons on the island to finish fighting first!"
"Then they're waiting for one of the three families to make the first move, so the other two can reap the benefits."
After observing for a while, Ling Ling spoke directly to Lin Yu.
"They think they're the fishermen?"
"Heh, the real fisherman is right here!"
Lin Yu looked at the people below, a trace of amusement in his eyes.
He wanted to see who among them would be unable to hold back and make the first move.
"If that island were controlled by one family,"
"then just by properly cultivating the Water Essence Grass, it could bring in one hundred million in income every year."
Ling Ling carefully examined the scale of the Water Essence Grass as she spoke.
Those damned Demons did not know how to farm at all!
What a waste of such excellent land. It was simply infuriating!
"One hundred million? That really is a good deal!"
Lin Yu looked at Lake Heart Island, surprise appearing on his face.
One hundred million a year—even for families like the Mu Family and Bai Family, an additional fixed income of one hundred million every year was an interest that had to be taken seriously!
After all, it was stable output.
"Can this Water Essence Grass be transplanted?"
Lin Yu had realized that Ling Ling knew far too much. She was practically an encyclopedia.
"It can, but it must be planted somewhere with dense water vapor."
"You don't have a particularly large territory, so stop thinking about it."
Ling Ling looked at Lin Yu as she spoke, directly crushing his thoughts of transplanting it.
"Does that mean there's no benefit suitable for me?"
Lin Yu looked at her helplessly.
"Of course there is. Do you know about Star Cloud Crystals?"
"Hm? I do."
Lin Yu nodded directly. He had used the thing twice, so of course he was familiar with it.
"In theory, there is a chance that Water Essence Crystals exist beneath land where Water Essence Grass grows. This thing can perfectly replace Star Cloud Crystals! For Water Element mages, it can even provide a greater chance of breaking through!"
"I can only say that it depends on your luck."
Ling Ling looked at Lin Yu as she spoke.
"Ling Ling, well done!"
After hearing that, Lin Yu immediately rubbed Ling Ling's head.
Excitement instantly appeared on his face!
"Hey, don't touch my head!"
"Do you think I'm a child?!"
Ling Ling unhappily pushed Lin Yu's hand away.
"Ha ha ha, all right."
Lin Yu laughed, then looked directly at Lake Heart Island.
The Demons on Lake Heart Island had nearly finished fighting.
Only a Great Commander Level Blue Patterned Giant Crocodile and its subordinates remained alive.
The Blue Patterned Giant Crocodile looked at the shimmering blue Water Essence Grass, utterly thrilled. Once it ate the Water Essence Grass, it could directly reach the Advanced Stage.
"Die, Demon!"
However, before it could rush into the Water Essence Grass, terrifying bolts of lightning directly engulfed them.
Even at the moment of death, they did not know whose hands they had died by!
"Mu Rong!"
Lu Yinghuo stared fixedly at Mu Rong, who was releasing terrifying lightning, fear in his eyes.
"Bai Shaohuo, our two families will join forces! Then we'll split this island's profits evenly. We won't give the Mu Family even a share!"
"Fine!"
Bai Shuijie directly nodded in agreement.
"Ha ha ha, just the two of you?"
"Not worthy!"
Mu Rong looked at the two of them and spoke directly, waves of magical energy erupting from his body.
The elite members of the families behind the three of them stepped forward one after another.
"Ha ha ha, heaven is helping me!"
"Wind Track · Spirit Flash!"
A smile appeared on Lin Yu's face. His body flashed with spiritual light as he bypassed them and landed on the island from the rear.
