Beauty and the Bodyguard

10239 Chapter 10238-

The life crystals he was talking about were the land resources that the Marine human tribe couldn’t do without for their survival.

Lin Yi had studied it before, and the key was a special mineral element that only existed on land. It was never found in the vast sea, so it could only be imported from land.

Due to the existence of a certain radiation, this element was not only useless to ordinary humans, but also harmful.

However, for the Marine human tribe, which was eroded by the seawater day and night, it was the most important guarantee to maintain their lives. To a certain extent, this could be regarded as an example of the incomplete evolution of the Marine human tribe.

The crucial point was that this type of Life Crystal was rare even on land, and Jianghai city did not have it.

Currently, the only known way to obtain life crystals was through the 18 levels of hell!

“What happens if you cut off your supply?” Lin Yi frowned.

Qin Qing forced a smile and said,”it’s fine for one or two months. There will only be some skin symptoms. However, if the supply is cut off for a long time, all the internal organs will start to fail. Then, it will enter a stage of completely irreversible life loss.”

Once that happened, even cultivators with decent strength would not be able to save them, let alone ordinary civilians at the bottom of the society. They could only wait for death.

I’ve seen it once when I was young. It was like hell on earth, and I still have nightmares about it. ”

Lin Yi’s eyebrows furrowed even more as he looked at the fear in the man’s eyes. “It’s a little difficult to clear the eighteen levels of hell in three months.”

Although he had easily taken over a Sea area, only the North Sea was left, and it seemed like he was only one step away.

However, all of this required perfect timing!

Any of the four Seas “royal families were a giant, and if there weren’t any internal problems, Lin Yi wouldn’t be able to take down the North Sea in a day, even with his current power.

If he could get help from cruel malevolence and the others, he might still have a chance, but now that he lost contact with cruel malevolence and the others, Lin Yi couldn’t even find any help.

Moreover, taking over the East Ocean did not mean that they would be able to clear the eighteen levels of hell.

Qin Qing reminded him,”brother Lin, you’re in the middle of a storm right now. Once a large-scale incident happens because of the cut in the supply of life crystals, someone will definitely take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire. At that time, it will be troublesome.”

Lin Yi looked like he was in the limelight, and everyone talked about him as if he was the man closest to the king of the four Seas, but he was like a ticking time bomb-he’d be blown to pieces if he wasn’t careful.

“There are some places that don’t have supply, but there should still be quite a bit of stock in other places, right?” Lin Yi said after some thought.

Qin Qing nodded.”That’s for sure. Life crystals are a necessity that all marine humans can’t avoid. Hoarding happens every year, especially for the royal families of the four Seas. They are the real big shots.

My Qin family is known as the fifth royal family. Everyone thinks that since we made our fortune from the 18 levels of hell, we naturally have a large number of life crystals in our hands.

In fact, compared to the royal families of the four Seas, my family is only a fraction. ”

It wasn’t that he was crying about how poor he was-he’d seen how extravagant the royal families were, and it wasn’t just one family-all of them were.

Just the resources and wealth that they spent every day was an astronomical figure.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the situation wasn’t settled yet, and it wasn’t suitable for a large-scale operation, Lin Yi would’ve beaten these worms to the ground long ago.

“If that’s the case, we’ll have the royal families of the four Seas hand over the life crystals first. The three Seas will share the crystals, and we’ll prioritize wherever there’s a shortage. That should buy us some time.”

Qin Qing’s eyes lit up, but she was still a little worried.”We can buy a lot of time this way, but the life crystals are the lifeblood of the royal family. They rely on them for luxury and enjoyment. Will they be willing to hand them over?”

“If I’m willing, then I’m definitely not.”

“But I’ve been observing them for so long, and I know who’s the one who’s causing trouble,” Lin Yi said indifferently,”I’ve got people watching them. As for the others, they’ll at most make a few noises, they won’t be able to do much. ”

The truth was as Lin Yi expected.

Once the news of the unified storage was spread, the entire sea area was in an uproar. The royal family disciples were all jumping.

Life crystals took up more than 60% of their income, and if Lin Yi took away their inventory, it would mean that their net worth would drop by more than half, and their extravagant days would be hard to continue.

Who would be able to stand this kind of thing?

However, there were also many ambitious people who laughed secretly.”Our future sovereign of the four Seas has finally done something stupid. He’s making such a big move before his Foundation is stable. He’s afraid that his position is too stable.”

They didn’t even need to think about what would happen next-the Royal descendants of the three Seas would all start fighting back, and Lin Yi, who was just enjoying the glory, would be in a terrible state-one wrong move would cause him to lose everything!

However, the result made all the ambitious people’s jaws drop.

The Royal descendants of the three Seas were full of complaints, each one worse than the last, but in the end, only a handful dared to stand up against Lin Yi.

As for the less stubborn ones, the moment they stood up, Lin Yi’s sword Hall enforcement team beat them up, making them more honest than ever.

She didn’t even wait for Lin Yi’s men to arrive before opening the warehouse, afraid that she’d be seen as a bad example.

At the end of the day, this group of royal descendants who indulged in the pleasures of life had long become complete waste.

It was fine for them to scold him verbally, but if they were to really do it, each and every one of them would lie flat on the ground.

Lin Yi did force them to hand over their life crystals this time, but he didn’t take back their territory and property. Their lives were a little harder than before, but it wasn’t to the point where they couldn’t live anymore.

At least, they could continue to lie down like worms, just not eating as much as before.

The storm disappeared.

The ambitious ones could only lay low and wait for the next opportunity.

Now that he’d successfully taken over the three Seas “reserves, he had a lot more room for error, giving him more time to plan for the remaining North Sea and the eighteen levels of hell.

However, if the latter’s progress was not ideal, it would still be a temporary solution. The flames that had been suppressed would erupt again sooner or later.

The facts had proven that Qin Qing’s expectations had been too optimistic.

“Something has happened to the Qin family.”

Lin Yi frowned as he looked at the stack of documents hou Maha handed over.

Hou mo he explained,”Originally, after the unification of the inventory, the previous supply cut areas were alleviated, and the situation had stabilized. But just three days ago, a family of nine, young and old, at the border of the East Sea, died.

The reason is that without life crystals for a long time, the organs in the body will fail, and after breaking through the lowest critical point, the life will be lost quickly. ”
