The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 241 - 240
Riding a dragon feels truly amazing, no wonder so many people want to be Dragon Knights, especially when the dragon has twin ponytails...
Ahem.
Guiding Little White Dragon, Lin Yun quickly reached the middle of Dragon River, which was so wide it seemed boundless, covered entirely with water, and now, at last, the opposite bank was in sight.
Bai Jiaojiao suddenly stopped, and Lin Yun asked in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
"Look!"
Following the direction of Bai Jiaojiao’s pointing finger, Lin Yun saw a stele with four bold, red characters -
"Death to Boundary Crossers."
Uh oh...
Could it be that they had reached the border between the Great Desert and Great Zhou?
But that’s no problem, we’re on the same side!
"There is a powerful formation here, very dangerous."
Bai Jiaojiao’s perception was indeed sharper than Lin Yun’s; while Lin Yun only saw the words "Death to Boundary Crossers," Bai Jiaojiao felt a latent sharpness, a formation that once charged forward, would unleash fierce attacks.
So Great Zhou had set up such a powerful formation along the border of the Great Desert, that even she, a Transforming Dragon of the Great Demon rank, had to avoid its sharpness; meanwhile, at the border with the Demon Tribe, there was virtually no defense. As a member of the Demon Tribe, Bai Jiaojiao felt slighted.
"Can we fly over it?"
"I’ll try."
Bai Jiaojiao soared into the sky, but after a while, she came back down and said, "The formation extends to the ninth heaven. Unless we burrow into the gale, we can’t cross it."
Bai Jiaojiao genuinely felt the brashness of Great Zhou, for deploying such a formation must have depleted countless precious resources. Was this just the whims of the wealthy?
"Then let’s go around the formation."
Lin Yun was also feeling a bit of a headache; it had not been easy to escape the Secret Realm, and now a formation was barring him from his own nation’s gates.
Of course, he didn’t bear any resentment, as the formation was there to protect the nation. He could just take a detour, that was all!
That detour soaked them in water for two days.
While the downstream current was fast, the formation stretched for thousands of miles, all the way to Boundary Mountain.
The waterway turned south, and the formation ended at Boundary Mountain. Lin Yun could no longer travel by water and had to go by land... dry land.
After two days without seeing a soul, as soon as he neared the shore, Lin Yun spotted rows of tents, and beyond that, some people with knives patrolling. When they saw Lin Yun in the water, they immediately started yelling.
Lin Yun couldn’t understand what they were saying, but when he saw them pick up bows and arrows, he knew they were an opposing force.
This was the border between two nations, with the Great Desert stationing troops here, likely in preparation for war against Great Zhou.
How long have I been away? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
As the enemies launched a barrage of arrows, Lin Yun couldn’t be bothered to dodge anymore.
Behold my Infinite Minor Fireball Technique!
Lin Yun’s fireball conjuring was incredibly fast, and so was his launching speed. It was like having a Gatling gun, with fist-sized fireballs flying out rapidly.
Hah, you’re bringing cold weapons against my hot weapons?
Although it was a simulated spell, it was certainly hot enough.
Upon contact, the fireballs immediately set people on fire, and their screams reached Lin Yun’s ears one after another.
"Awoo!"
Lin Yun suddenly heard a wolf howl, and in no time, a man riding a large wolf charged toward him. He shouted out loud, muttered something Lin Yun couldn’t understand, and Lin Yun felt dizzy and disoriented.
"Let’s go!"
Bai Jiaojiao made a swift decision, pulling Lin Yun under the water. Green Snake stirred up huge waves toward the shore. With the cover of the waves, Green Snake also dived into the water. The three of them vanished, leaving the man on the shore in impotent fury, with the large wolf howling continuously.
The patrolling soldiers started searching along the river, but by then Lin Yun had already reached the bottom of the water.
"If we can’t get across on the surface, and going around isn’t an option, what about underwater?"
However, that too was not viable...
The Dragon River didn’t have the oppressive force of Holy Spring Lake, they could dive directly to the bottom, and it would only take a minute or two.
But Bai Jiaojiao could still feel the deterrent power of the Formation.
"You Central Plains People are really impressive."
A Formation stretching thousands of miles, sealing off both heaven and earth, was all this really necessary?
Lin Yun’s expression was rather serious.
The presence of this Formation here, with such tight security, suggested that the current situation in the Central Plains was not that optimistic.
He had no idea what had transpired during the time he was absent.
"Let’s find a safe place to get ashore."
Lin Yun quickly thought of an escape route.
Forcibly breaking through the Formation was certainly not an option; he couldn’t risk bringing calamity to Great Zhou for his own convenience.
If the defense line were breached, and the people from the Great Desert discovered it and attempted to cross the Dragon River for a surprise attack on Great Zhou, Lin Yun would have to take responsibility.
Currently, there were two plans, one was to go upstream along the Dragon River to its source, Mount Heavenly Dragon. Crossing Mount Heavenly Dragon would lead to White Tiger Ridge, which traversed the Land of Death. Beyond White Tiger Ridge lay Great Zhou.
But crossing Mount Heavenly Dragon was easier said than done. There were all sorts of ancient legends there, and Lin Yun anticipated that if he really entered, he might end up in another Secret Realm, endlessly looping.
Therefore, his only option was to go downstream and smuggle himself through the Boundary Mountain pass into Great Zhou.
Now that side was heavily guarded, and the Great Desert also had its experts, Lin Yun couldn’t possibly rely on just himself, Bai Jiaojiao and Green Snake with their matched supremacy.
Unable to match their strength, they must outwit them.
And that was to disguise themselves as Grassland People!
Time to show off my undercover skills once again.
The Grassland was vast; Lin Yun sneaked up unnoticed, clearly, unlike the steady defenses of Great Zhou, the Great Desert side didn’t believe Great Zhou would dare to cross the Dragon River to launch a surprise attack, and so the riverside was barely guarded.
Lin Yun led Bai Jiaojiao northward. After half an hour, they finally encountered a small tribe.
"Let’s go up!"
Bai Jiaojiao was already prepared to charge and wreak havoc.
But Lin Yun held her back.
"In war between two nations, civilians should not be killed. Watch me."
A white mist began to enshroud Lin Yun’s body, and soon it covered the entire tribe.
The Great Mist Spell, this was the greatest gain Lin Yun had from this venture into the Secret Realm.
He didn’t obtain any particularly special treasures; he just absorbed sixty percent of the Great Mist, incidentally causing some damage to the Secret Realm.
This time it was not about shearing wool; it was about slaughtering sheep.
Lin Yun didn’t absorb the Great Mist into himself; he stored it in the Chaos Pearl. In the past few days, with nothing else to do, he had thoroughly studied it and realized some Spells related to the Great Mist.
The Spells had no offensive power; they were all functional.
Like this Great Mist, which was a range-based Spell, it could not only obscure vision but also shield against Divine Sense. Lin Yun would not be affected at all. Instead, wherever the Great Mist reached, it became his eyes and ears.
Another ability, Vaporization, wasn’t very useful; it only granted immunity to physical damage but was vulnerable to wind and fire—of no significant consequence.
Having this divine ability, Lin Yun was already quite content. Once he released the Great Mist, the people of the small tribe immediately became anxious, hiding in their tents.
Lin Yun casually entered a tent and saw several women lying inside, with disheveled clothing. Their gazes were vacant, and from their appearance, they seemed to bear some features of the Central Plains People...
