Journey Through the Dense Forest

Once the young Emperor at court receives Lin Yi's letter, he will certainly place a bulk order for the radish cubes in the name of the court.

With this exclusive secret recipe, Luoluo will undoubtedly lead a prosperous and comfortable life.

Although Lin Yi could dig into his pocket and give Luoluo a large sum of money, ensuring her security for the latter half of her life, it is better to teach someone to fish than to simply give them fish.

"Thank you, Great General Lin, this humble girl is eternally grateful," said Luoluo, holding back tears as she clutched the secret recipe and gradually disappeared into the night.

"After I leave, you must take good care of yourself. I will have the Clan Leader build more convenient drying bamboo houses."

As Lin Yi walked alone in the quiet desert, he contemplated what more he could do for Shiku Village.

Before he knew it, he had returned to the village.

The villagers were very enthusiastic. They lit bonfires and prepared to celebrate the night that changed the fate of Shiku Village.

However, Lin Yi's ambition laid elsewhere. He left Nan Yi and the others to keep the villagers company while he himself returned to where he was first intercepted by the villagers.

The path to riches for Shiku Village was set, but what about safety?

If someone were to harass the village again in the future, what should be done?

"Right, treat this place like a checkpoint, set up simple defenses, a sentry tower, a wall, along with some weapons."

"And tools for conveniently cutting small cans."

[Beep beep beep, host has successfully purchased 100 sets of convenient bamboo cutting tools, 150,000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been paid, the goods have been delivered next to the stone bench.]

Concluding his thoughts, Lin Yi put together a detailed and feasible plan.

In addition, Lin Yi also documented what kind of support should be provided if neighboring villages became envious of Shiku Village's prosperity.

After completing all his writing, he climbed into the off-road vehicle and fell asleep.

The next day, before dawn, Lin Yi woke up early. He carefully checked the map and replanned the route.

By the time he was done, Nan Yi and the others had just arrived.

Unlike in the other smaller villages within the territories of Dayou, the women of Shiku Village didn't need to rise before dawn to wash clothes and prepare food.

On the contrary, the women could sleep in until the sun was high in the sky.

"Hurry up, we are about to set off."

Lin Yi started to urge everyone, deciding to leave without bids of farewell. Thus, he placed the letter he had written on the Clan Leader's exclusive stone bench.

He knew that the villagers of Shiku Village would insist on warmly inviting them to stay longer, which would delay their important matters.

By the time the villagers realized that Lin Yi and his team were gone, it was already noon. However, they were deeply moved by the wealth Lin Yi had left for them.

Under the Clan Leader's guidance, all 500 inhabitants of the village came out and knelt in an orderly formation, facing the direction where Lin Yi's off-road vehicle had disappeared, without getting up.

On the other side, Lin Yi and his team were passing through a dense forest when suddenly, the sky poured down torrential rain.

The off-road vehicle, which relied on solar power for energy, gradually stopped running.

"It's like a cursed downpour after a leaky roof."

They were right in the middle of the dense forest, the shortest route, which naturally came with great dangers.

"Lord Lin, what should we do now? Should we get out and try to lift the vehicle?" Nan Yi pressed against the car door, ready to get out.

"No, there are pythons!" Lin Yi grabbed Nan Yi's hand, and at that moment, a python with the girth of a water bucket, black and white in color, fell from the sky, crashing down onto Lin Yi's off-road vehicle.

Fortunately, the off-road vehicle was bomb-proof and bulletproof, and the giant python missed its target.

"Lin, Lord Lin, this monstrous creature, could it eat us all? Can we still escape?"

Nan Yi's voice couldn't help trembling, his eyes filled with fear, while the other four members of the Southern Combat Team also hid frantically under the seats, not daring to poke their heads out.

Lin Yi, however, spoke with a nonchalant face: "Don't panic, we've invaded their territory, can't we allow others to get angry for a bit? It'll be fine in a moment."

Clearly, through the window, the giant python saw several tempting meals, but somehow couldn't catch them.

The python became furious, hitting the car window several times without success. It showed its sharp and ferocious fangs to Lin Yi, as if it couldn't wait to swallow him whole.

The frustrated giant python angrily smashed the car with its tail, then darted into the forest.

[Drip drip drip, host has successfully purchased a set of Super Batteries, 200,000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been paid.]

The off-road vehicle ran out of power; either the battery had to be replaced, or a new off-road vehicle had to be found.

It's not that an off-road vehicle is unaffordable, but under the current situation, to switch vehicles one must get out of the car.

With insects, serpents, and fierce beasts hiding in these dense woods, what they had just seen was only the tip of the iceberg.

If they got out of the vehicle, it's unknown how many beasts would emerge; Lin Yi did not wish to become their food.

Therefore, changing the battery is the best choice.

But Lin Yi also found himself in a dilemma when he touched the hefty battery; the slot for installing the battery was at the front of the car.

This meant that someone would have to get out to install it.

While Lin Yi was deep in thought, Nan Yi suddenly let out a sharp scream, startling everyone.

"Ah!"

"Look, a group of giant pythons!"

The same black and white python from before, leading a group of multicolored pythons, came charging over menacingly.

Lin Yi was taken aback, realizing they had stumbled into a nest of snakes.

He wasn't worried that the pythons could smash the off-road vehicle to pieces, but rather that the pythons would lift the vehicle away.

It had to be said, Lin Yi's sixth sense was extremely accurate.

After several attempts of striking together, the pythons left the off-road vehicle unscathed, and proceeded to coil around the wheels, lifting the entire vehicle.

"Damn, they're going to smash the car!"

Lin Yi was instantly startled into a cold sweat, realizing the intelligence of these pythons was very high.

[Drip drip drip, host has successfully purchased 6 sets of pressure-resistant explosion-proof full body armor suits, 300,000 Heavenly Bead Coins have been paid. The goods have been delivered inside the off-road vehicle.]

Lin Yi handed out the armored suits, instructing: "Hurry up and get dressed, those pythons might just throw us off a cliff."

Before embarking on this route, Lin Yi thought that at most they would encounter fierce beasts, which could be dealt with a few shots from an Anesthesia Gun, ensuring escape.

But now it seems that this group of pythons is too clever.

Sure enough, the pythons, holding the off-road vehicle, smashed it against the trees and then against large rocks as if throwing a ball. The off-road vehicle rocked violently, and Nan Yi and the others had not yet put on their explosion-proof armor when they were violently struck against boulders.

Through the car window, Lin Yi watched the increasingly excited pythons, still very worried that the off-road vehicle would fall apart.

"Everyone, be careful, and hold your guns properly. These pythons obviously have been starved for a long time, and soon we might become their meal," Lin Yi said, his tone becoming anxious.

"But don't worry, even if we're eaten by pythons, this equipment on us will protect us from being digested for two days."

The off-road vehicle is now no good.

Lin Yi closed his eyes to enter the Nine-Eyed Mall, intending to buy a helicopter so they could escape smoothly.

But in order to buy large flying items, the host must first complete an upgrade.
