Chapter 15

The power of a deity is precious; no deity is willing to waste even a single drop of divine power.

Being able to possess a Divine Art represents having received the true favor of a deity.

The young maiden Sister Sister Mengying had not expected that, despite being only at the third rank, she would actually have the fortune to obtain a Divine Art.

Third rank and sixth rank seem not far apart, but in reality, it is a distance that many mages cannot cross in their entire lives.

That great Lord of Flames really takes very good care of her.

At this moment, even with the young maiden Sister Sister Mengying’s insight, knowing that this Lord of Flames is very likely a minor god who has just become a god, or perhaps even just a pseudo-god above the Sanctuary level still in the period of condensing a godhead, she is still willing to offer her absolute loyalty to this great Lord of Flames.

On the altar, Lin Yan sensed through the Virtual Godhead that the young maiden Sister Sister Mengying’s faith in him had deepened further.

The Fox-kin tribe began full-scale preparations for war.

The White Fox tribe and the Gray Fox tribe had a total of only five thousand-plus people, but the two tribes forcibly squeezed out a combat force of over one thousand people.

The Fox-kin tribe lacked weapons; many Fox-kin used spears made of wood as weapons.

However, the Black Fox army was not much better off.

Beast-kin tribes lacking weapons was a common trait.

"There seems to be an iron mine in the Misty Mountains."

On the torch at the highest point of the Fox-kin tribe’s stockade, the burning Lin Yan muttered to himself.

This torch was built extremely ingeniously, with a rain cover on top, and Fox-kin constantly added firewood below, allowing this torch to burn continuously.

This was Lin Yan’s dwelling place when he had nothing to do.

Burning on such a torch could at least offset the energy consumption.

There were actually quite a few good things in the Misty Mountains.

When Lin Yan was burning, he discovered an iron mine, a copper mine, and a coal mine.

That coal mine had its open-pit portion burned away by Lin Yan, and the energy points obtained would be more than burning trees.

However, if these three mines were to be mined, that would be a matter for the future.

Three days later, the Fox-kin tribe’s war preparations were already mostly done.

And on the wasteland, a large number of Fox-kin had also arrived...

"It seems the news brought back by the scouts was correct; this wasteland filled with poisonous insects has really been burned clean."

A tall Fox-kin said.

After speaking, he crouched down, reached his hand into the ground, and dug up a large handful of black soil.

"The soil here is truly fertile!"

This tall Fox-kin revealed a look of joy.

Behind him, many Fox-kin followed his example, reaching their hands into the ground.

"Indeed fertile; this wasteland has been abandoned for countless years. I didn't expect the soil underground to be so fertile. Once such a vast wasteland is obtained by us, our tribe will only need ten years for our strength to increase several times over!"

Another Fox-kin said excitedly.

"Hmm, but this time other Fox-kin tribes have all sent troops. Chief, what should we do? Will we have to share the land with them then?"

Yet another Fox-kin asked.

"Share, why not share? But how much to share is up to us to decide."

The chief of the Black Fox tribe said.

"Chief, then what about the people of the White Fox tribe and the Gray Fox tribe?"

Immediately, another Fox-kin asked.

The chief of the Black Fox tribe said: "It depends on whether they are sensible. If they are sensible, obediently submit to us and hand over the land and the divine beans, we can spare their lives. If they are not sensible, hmph hmph!"

At this time, a younger Black Fox-kin stood out and said:

"Father, I heard that Qing Ling, the daughter of the White Fox tribe’s chief, is the number one beauty selected by over a dozen tribes. If they are willing to submit, they must also offer Qing Ling to be my woman before we can let them go."

Another Black Fox also said: "Brother, if you snatch Qing Ling, what about me? No, you have to let me play with her for a few days first."

"Dream on, can you beat me?"

"Enough!"

Seeing the two sons arguing, the Black Fox chief gave a light reprimand, and those two Black Foxes immediately extinguished their fire.

"Set off!"

The Black Fox chief waved his large hand, and behind him, the dense Black Fox army set out, rushing toward the wasteland.

Behind these Black Fox armies were people from other Fox-kin tribes.

Although there are far fewer Beast-kin on the Continent of Gods than humans, the number of Beast-kin kingdoms is also not small.

This Beast-kin kingdom to the east of the Misty Mountains is composed of many Beast-kin races.

The Fox race is not the most powerful race; their living space is squeezed very small, and within the Fox race, there is also the Black Fox race suppressing other Fox-kin tribes.

Therefore, in this army, Black Fox-kin account for more than half the number, a full two thousand-plus people, while the people from other Fox-kin tribes add up to less than two thousand people.

However, this was already an army of four thousand people; in the eyes of the Black Fox chief, it was enough to crush the White Fox and Gray Fox tribes!

This army’s speed was very fast, and after half a day, they arrived not far from the newly built stockade of the Gray Fox and White Fox tribes.

"They are here!"

In front of the stockade, the people of the Gray Fox and White Fox tribes were already standing in battle formation before the hedge.

The Black Fox chief walked to a place about ten meters away from the hedge and said:

"Auntie Auntie Aili, Kalai, seeing me, not coming out to pay respects?"

Qing Ling’s mother walked to the front: "Black Fox chief, you bring an army here, are you prepared to fight among ourselves?"

The Black Fox chief laughed loudly, his voice filled with an arrogant flavor:

"Fight among ourselves? You are quite good at using human words. However, if you hand over the land and the divine beans you speak of, and marry your daughter Qing Ling to my two sons, I can spare your lives."

Speaking of this, his gaze somehow caught sight of Sister Sister Mengying standing next to the fox-girl Qing Ling.

Although Sister Sister Mengying also had a light veil hanging on her face, he was immediately attracted by Sister Sister Mengying.

"And her, you must hand her over to us as well!"

The Black Fox chief secretly swallowed his saliva and said.

Just as his voice fell, suddenly, a red beam of light rushed toward him.

"Careful!"

Behind, a Fox-kin with strange symbols on his face said.

However, it was too late. That red beam of light instantly hit the Black Fox chief.

"Boom!"

The Black Fox chief had not even reacted before he was blown to pieces.

Immediately following, flames submerged his body, which had been shattered into many pieces, burning him completely into slag.

The arrogant Black Fox chief, having just spoken a few words, was actually killed in seconds!
