Chapter 2883 The Sacred Space of the Bloodians!
Lin Yuan abandoned his plan to spirit-lock feys and began communicating with Fan Lou through the crystal jade.
Fan Lou was currently extremely nervous in the Bloodians' territory. He had indeed discovered something when he contacted Lin Yuan.
However, Lin Yuan had not instructed Fan Lou to inform him of the situation that Fan Lou had discovered.
At this moment, Fan Lou was making the decision on his own. Fan Lou felt that he needed to inform Lin Yuan after some consideration.
If Lin Yuan was not interested in this matter, he would at most reprimand him. However, if Lin Yuan was interested in this matter, it would be equivalent to him contributing and becoming a person who had contributed.
Fan Lou had seen Lin Yuan use his body to absorb the essence blood of other species, including the Bloodians. It was precisely because of this that Fan Lou had reported this matter to Lin Yuan.
"Greetings, Lord. I'm Fan Lou. How have you been, Lord?"
Lin Yuan said in a clear voice, "I've been doing well recently. If anything happens on your side, you can inform me right away. I encountered some matters here that delayed my footsteps, but I should be able to meet you later."
Upon hearing this, Fan Lou looked surprised and disappointed. Fan Lou was surprised because he had witnessed Lin Yuan's strength, and Lin Yuan had easily controlled the Lonely River's Four Species Overlords. It was hard to imagine the kind of strength that he possessed. Fan Lou did not expect that Lin Yuan, who was so powerful, would still be held back by some matters.
On the other hand, he was disappointed that Lin Yuan didn't consider his mission to follow up with the Bloodians as important. After Fan Lou adopted this mindset, he immediately realized that he had been too complacent recently, which led to a sense of arrogance creeping into his thoughts. He was indeed nothing to Lin Yuan, so it was better to maintain a humble attitude around him.
Whether it was because Feng Qing highly regarded him or because he had become an honored guest of the Bloodians due to his relationship with the Dark Pufferfish, it was all related to Lin Yuan's support behind the scenes.
Had it not been for Lin Yuan, Feng Qing might not be able to put him in an important position. Even if he was put in an important position by Feng Qing and sent to the Dark Pufferfish for a mission, even if he did not die at their hands, the Bloodians would also question him if he didn't fulfill their request.
Although Feng Qing valued him, he was only regarded as an assistant by his side and an existence that could be discarded at any moment should the need arise.
Fan Lou said to Lin Yuan in an extremely serious tone, "Master, an ancient lineage of the Bloodians has initiated the blood pool. There seems to be a Bloodian Queen who wishes to seek a breakthrough in her bloodline. The Bloodians I'm currently with have set their sights on this blood pool. I would like to ask if Lord is interested in the blood pool."
Lin Yuan initially thought that Fan Lou had suddenly looked for him because there was a problem in the main world. Now that he knew that it had nothing to do with the main world, Lin Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Yuan didn't know what the Bloodians' blood pool was, but he was certain that it was quite useful.
As for what exactly the blood pool was, Lin Yuan definitely could not ask Fan Lou. It wouldn't be acceptable for Lin Yuan not to know about things that Fan Lou knew.
As the condenser of the crystal jade, Winter was also aware that Fan Lou had communicated with Lin Yuan through the crystal jade.
Winter hurriedly explained to Lin Yuan when he noticed the latter looking at him, "Young Master, every Bloodian with an ancient lineage possesses a sacred space. The blood pool usually exists inside the sacred space.
"After every large-scale hunt, the Bloodians will inject a portion of the essence of the prey's blood into the blood pool for accumulation. The blood pool will nurture the energy in this blood. After a long time, the blood-type energy will surge, causing a tide to appear every few decades."
"Whether or not Bloodians' blood pool can produce a blood tide is one of the conditions to determine their foundation.
However, Lin Yuan felt completely relieved upon hearing from Winter. Since Winter could replenish his energy independently, it would not have any effect on him even if Lin Yuan communicated with Fan Lou.
"Fan Lou, inform me immediately if anything happens. When we meet to equip you with the two Human Weapons, I will provide you with a new communication tool. It'll be much more convenient for us to communicate then!"
Fan Lou was overjoyed when Lin Yuan asked him to report the situation in real time, as it provided Fan Lou more opportunities to communicate with Lin Yuan. Fan Lou cherished the opportunity to communicate with Lin Yuan. The more opportunities he had to communicate with Lin Yuan, the easier it was to gain Lin Yuan's recognition.
"Master, the Bloodians I'm currently with have communicated with the envoys of the Dark Pufferfish. They hope to form an alliance with the Dark Pufferfish and obtain their help in their operations.
"During this period, the Dark Pufferfish envoys have developed a very close relationship with the Bloodians and have already gained their trust. I wonder if we should facilitate cooperation between the Dark Pufferfish and the Bloodians?
"The territory of the Dark Pufferfish is located in a remote place like the Lonely River. The Bloodians are completely defenseless against the Dark Pufferfish. I'm not worried about any conflict of interest with the Dark Pufferfish at all."
Fan Lou had actually taken quite a risk in making such a proposal.
The Dark Pufferfish did not have the ability to communicate with Lin Yuan directly, so they were not under his command. If the Dark Pufferfish's leader wanted to improve his status among the species, he did not need to curry favor with Ink Thorn. Instead, he needed to think of a way to gain Lin Yuan's recognition.
Fan Lou would not have a chance to participate if this matter spread back to the Dark Pufferfish and Ink Thorn communicated with Lin Yuan through Bei Xu.
The Dark Pufferfish envoys had given him face and allowed him to manipulate them. Now that they had something to ask of him, Fan Lou really couldn't refuse. Furthermore, if the entire Dark Pufferfish participated, it would once again bring the Bloodians closer to the Dark Pufferfish. By then, his status as a bridge figure would also rise.
Now, some other Bloodians had become aware of his existence and wanted to contact the Dark Pufferfish through him. This situation marked an increase in his value. Feng Qing no longer treated him like a subordinate.
Lin Yuan raised his brows. It would take at least a month for the members of the Dark Pufferfish to head to the Bloodians' gathering area. Could it be that the Bloodians would wait for nearly a month to initiate the blood pool?
Lin Yuan raised his question to Fan Lou. If the Bloodians' blood pool was opened before the Dark Pufferfish experts arrived, the experts wouldn't be able to help at all.
If the blood pool only opened after a month, it would be great news for Lin Yuan. If Lin Yuan wanted to rush to the Scarlet Territory where the Bloodians were gathered, it would take him more than half a month, even if he were to rush there at full speed. Furthermore, Lin Yuan needed to stay in Treasure City for a few more days to make arrangements for the situation there.
Fan Lou quickly explained to Lin Yuan, "Master, the Bloodians need to undergo many rituals to open the blood pool. These rituals will consume a lot of time. Although the Bloodians I'm currently with have their eyes set on the blood pool, they're not planning to snatch it and take the energy in it for themselves.
"On the contrary, they want to use the opportunity to get a portion of the blood tide when the blood pool opens. If any Bloodians dare to set their sights on the blood pool of other Bloodians, a war will definitely break out between the two Bloodians. This is a situation that the other Bloodians won't allow to happen.
"Although there are always conflicts between the Bloodians, they are unlikely to escalate into wars that threaten their survival. If you are interested in this blood pool, you must make thorough preparations!
Lin Yuan muttered to himself when he heard Fan Lou's words.
Since the other Bloodians only coveted the blood tide that would spread after the blood pool opened, this Bloodian opening the blood pool wouldn't cause too much of a commotion. On the contrary, those Bloodians who coveted the blood tide would provide protection to a certain extent.
It was not easy for Lin Yuan to use the energy in the blood pool to strengthen the Bloodian bloodline nurtured by his Body of All Spirits.
Lin Yuan needed to think of a way to create some chaos. It would be best if this chaos could cause a conflict between the Bloodians so Lin Yuan could take advantage of it to enter the blood pool.
Lin Yuan asked, "Fan Lou, how did the arrangements I asked you to make before turn out?"
Fan Lou had long wanted to discuss this matter with Lin Yuan. Since Lin Yuan had taken him under his wing, this mission was the only task he assigned to Fan Lou besides protecting the Class 2 world as the Boundary Patrol Envoy of the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team.
