With cannon fodder, become the best in the world

Jimo Yanzhou grabbed Jimo Changan who rushed over and asked him, "What happened to you? You are in such a mess, where are the others?"

Jimo Changan looked in a state of disgrace at this time, with mud on his clothes. He waved his hands anxiously, "Don't mention it, they are all damaged. Elder Xianyu of Jinghu is simply a pervert, he has no mercy at all, and Elder Xianyu's pet is extremely ferocious, rushing up to bite anyone it sees."

"The animal raised by Elder Xianyu is originally a cold-blooded animal, just like the elder." Jimo Changliu said, remembering the appearance of Elder Xianyu in the Discipline Hall. He was extremely serious and showed no mercy. He was dressed in black from head to toe, even in the hot summer, he was still dressed in black gauze, black clothes, long white hair, and clear black and white colors. He looked very gloomy and difficult to approach.

Jimo Changan glared at Jimo Changliu. He had disliked this brother since he was a child. He always loved to compete with him for anything, from a small piece of cake to a big weapon. Many times, their parents would arrange the same things for them, but handed the management of the shop to Jimo Changliu, which made Jimo Changan very dissatisfied. Although when they decided to select the shop manager, they gave each of them a shop to run, after a year, the results showed that Jimo Changliu, a despicable villain, turned one shop into two. And he went bankrupt in less than three months.

"Chang'an, you don't have to look at me like that. Our family is engaged in business. Even if we participate in the trial of the clan heir, we are just here to make up the numbers." Jimo Changliu said.

Jimo Changan looked dissatisfied and said in an unhappy tone: "According to the rules passed down by the family, anyone can participate in the trial. No matter who it is, as long as they are the best in the trial, they can become the heir. You manage your business, and I will fight for my heir. Don't worry about me."

"I've always known that you have a talent for comedy, but I didn't expect your talent to be so strong. You can't even run a shop, and you don't even know the basic Nine Chapters of Arithmetic. And you still have the nerve to say that you can be the heir? I'm afraid you don't know your own worth." Jimo Changliu looked at his brother with complete contempt.

Jimo Chang'an couldn't stand his brother looking down on him. They were born from the same mother, looked the same, and were born on the same day, but Jimo Changliu always thought he was smarter than him. This made him very dissatisfied. He pointed at Jimo Changliu and said angrily, "You think about money all the time, you stink of money, and you are stingy as hell. How dare you say that about me? My parents have never said anything about me. What right do you have to say that about me?"

Seeing how angry he was, Jimo Changliu smiled coldly, "What's wrong with me liking to make money? If I didn't have a stupid brother at home and a pair of parents who travel a lot and spend money lavishly, why would I have to work so hard? I could just run the existing family business well. Do I need to work so hard to negotiate business and expand the business territory?"

Jimo Chang'an was not very smart. He only heard the first half of Jimo Changliu's words. Jimo Changliu said he had a stupid brother. He was so angry that he rushed up and hit Jimo Changliu, saying angrily: "You have a stupid brother! If I don't kill you today, I will take your surname!"

Jimo Changliu dodged hastily and also attacked him: "I'm going to kill you, a piece of trash, today!"

The two men fought for a long time and found that they were about the same strength. Although they were not careful in fighting, they were able to dodge heavy punches.

Jimo Yanzhou stared at the two brothers fighting and said calmly: "Have you been enemies since your mother's womb? Instead of being good brothers, you have to be enemies and fight to the death!"

The system ignored him and said, "Your own affairs are in tatters, but you still have the time to take care of other people's affairs."

Seeing that the two had almost finished fighting, Jimo Yanzhou said to Zhou Yun, "Don't worry about them. They are just making up the numbers anyway."

Seeing that both of them were covered in wounds and both were injured, Zhou Yun frowned and said, "Have you had enough fighting? If not, keep fighting."

Jimo Changliu and the other man were pinching each other's necks. After hearing what Zhou Yun said, Jimo Changliu said, "This is the trial ground. Let's stop first and talk about it when we get back."

Jimo Changan's face turned purple and he snorted coldly: "Let go first."

Jimo Changliu gritted his teeth and said, "Let go together."

"Okay!" Jimo Chang'an nodded and quickly let go of his hand, but he saw that Jimo Changliu did not let go and seemed to want to take action again.

Zhou Yun said in a deep voice: "Enough!"

Jimo Changliu had to withdraw his hand in disappointment and pulled Jimo Changan to Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun looked towards Jimo Changan and asked, "Where is the key to pass through the customs?"

"What key?" Jimo Chang'an grimaced in pain, looking confused.

"You didn't get the key to pass?" Jimo Changliu asked quickly.

If you have already got it, then follow Jimo Chengye and the others into the next level. If they disagree, snatch the key away.

Jimo Changan rolled his eyes at Changliu and said, "The key was thrown into the Mirror Lake by Elder Xianyu, and we can't go into the Mirror Lake. If we go into the water, all the spiritual power in our body will dissipate. Otherwise, why do you think I am here?"

Jimo Chengye had a cold expression on his face. He had no interest in the fight between the two brothers. He just couldn't believe that the strategy in his hand was useless. After studying it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out the content of the strategy.

Jimo Chengye walked up to Jimo Yanzhou and said, "Sixth Brother, take the road on the right."

Jimo Yanzhou looked at him in surprise, "Didn't you just come from over there? Aren't you allowed to leave?" Is there anyone who would betray his half-brother like this?

"Go to Jinghu Lake and fish out the key." Jimo Chengye said in an almost commanding tone.

Jimo Changliu suddenly said, "Brother, this is not fair of you. Why should you let Lao Liu get something that you can't get?"

Jimo Chengye snorted, "How about you go?"

Jimo Changliu quickly waved his hand, "Then let Laoliu go."

Jimo Yanzhou shook his head: "I can't do this."

Jimo Chengye was covered in wounds and looked at him coldly: "If you don't go, I will tell the head of the family that you schemed against us, killed the cultivators of the family, and you want to kill us too."

"You..." Jimo Yanzhou pointed at Jimo Chengye, "Aren't you just talking nonsense?"

Zhou Yun tugged at Jimo Yanzhou's sleeve and said, "Go to the right."

Jimo Yanzhou had heard Zhou Yun mention before that the real life gate was on the right, but going there by himself was one thing, and being forced by Jimo Chengye was another. He glared at Jimo Chengye with an unhappy look on his face, "The position of heir should be based on one's ability, big brother, don't you think so?"

Jimo Chengye didn't understand what Jimo Yanzhou meant, but seeing him walk to the right obediently, he snorted disdainfully: "He's just a bastard abandoned by his family, why are you so proud?"

Jimo Changliu saw Zhou Yun and the others walking away, thought for a moment, and followed them.

Elder Xian Yu leaned on the giant lizard's back. When he saw Zhou Yun and the others, he suddenly laughed softly, "Three more people are here to die."

After the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, the giant lizard suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a broken sword and some clothes. These were the indigestible things it had vomited out after swallowing those monks.

"Hello, Elder Xianyu, I am Jimo Yanzhou. We are here to get the key to pass." Jimo Yanzhou said.

When Xian Yu heard Jimo Yanzhou's voice, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked directly at Jimo Yanzhou, "The kid who was exiled for seventeen years? Those old guys in the Elders' Council actually agreed to let you participate in the trial?"

Jimo Yanzhou said: "I didn't agree at first, but later I agreed."

Xian Yu looked at him meaningfully, "From what you said, you should be smarter than the others. It's also possible that you thought of the key, but I just threw it into the lake."

Xian Yu pointed to the Mirror Lake behind him. The water in the Mirror Lake was so clear that you could see the bottom. There was a faint red light at the bottom of the lake. "That's the key. Go and get it yourselves."

"Thank you Elder Xianyu for the reminder." Jimo Yanzhou didn't expect Elder Xianyu to be so easy to talk to, and was bowing to express his gratitude.

Then Elder Xian Yu spoke: "But I must remind you, if you jump into the Mirror Lake, if you are a sinister and treacherous person, you will be trapped in the lake and your cultivation will be lost. Only people with pure and kind hearts will be fine."

Jimo Changliu quietly retreated behind Jimo Yanzhou. He was notoriously treacherous in the family, but there was nothing he could do, as the family's business depended on him.

"Or, you can pick the flower in the middle of the lake for me, and I will help you fish out the key." Xian Yu said.

Jimo Yanzhou was about to go into the water when Zhou Yun suddenly pulled him back and said, "I'll go with you."

"Isn't it just retrieving the key? Yun'er, you wait here." Jimo Yanzhou felt that this was just a simple matter and he could do it by himself.

System: You short-lived ghost, didn’t you just hear Xian Yu say, pick the red flower in the middle of the lake?

Jimo Yanzhou was puzzled: Even if we go to the center of the lake to pick flowers, we have to swim to get there.

System: I mean, I sensed that the plant in the middle of the lake is unusual.

Jimo Yanzhou: Isn’t it just a cockscomb?

System: Bodhi Blood Spirit Flower.

Jimo Yanzhou: The most important ingredient in the Du'e Pill.

System: That’s right, Lin Bufan used it to save the demon princess whose meridians were broken and who was almost dead.

While Jimo Yanzhou was stunned, Zhou Yun had already jumped into the water. He was anxious and quickly followed suit.

Zhou Yun did not go in the direction of the light under the water, but went towards the blood-red phoenix tail flower in the middle of the lake. Just as she approached the blood spirit flower, a blade of air came over, and she hurriedly dodged it.

Xian Yu sat there and said lazily: "Why not go to the bottom of the lake to pick up the key? That would be easier."

Zhou Yun formed seals with her hands, and a huge formation pattern rippled from the lake. She reached out and picked the blood spirit flower. The lake water suddenly shook, and waves slowly formed.

There was a strange look in Xianyu's eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Jimo Changliu asked anxiously: "Elder, what's going on?"

Xian Yu snorted: "I said picking up the key is easier."

A huge whirlpool formed in the center of the lake, and Jimo Yanzhou hurried over to grab Zhou Yun to prevent her from being sucked into the whirlpool.

The Blood Spirit Flower had been stored in Zhou Yun's storage bag and was about to be swept away. Jimo Yanzhou grabbed her arm, but a huge wave of water hit them and knocked them both into the whirlpool.

Jimo Yanzhou was knocked dizzy by the waves, and his whole body fell into the lake. He choked on the water, but he still held Zhou Yun's hand tightly.

He choked on the water again, his chest felt a burning pain, and the air in his abdominal cavity was getting less and less. Jimo Yanzhou was about to go back.

Suddenly, he felt a soft touch on his lips, and he heard the system scream: Wow, don't look at anything inappropriate. The system's words seemed to break his eardrums, and the pressure in his chest gradually became less severe.

Zhou Yun breathed a few breaths for Jimo Yanzhou, held on to Jimo Yanzhou, and dived into the water in the direction of the vortex. When he looked at Mirror Lake from the shore, the water was extremely clear and green, but it was very deep. He didn't know how long he had been sinking before he was washed to the shore by a torrent.

Zhou Yun coughed out the water in his chest, glanced at the unconscious Jimo Yanzhou, drew a talisman with his fingertips, and slapped it into his chest.

The unconscious man suddenly started coughing, turned over, and vomited water for a long time. When he looked up, his eyes were clear, his face was pale, and his black hair was messy and dripping with water.

Jimo Yanzhou was still confused and called the system several times. The system took a long time to reply to him: Why are you calling you dad?

Jimo Yanzhou paused: ...Where is this?

Zhou Yun made a hand gesture and his whole body became dry. In front of him was an underground river, with faint light refracted from above his head. All around him were uneven stone surfaces with green moss growing on the surface, which felt slippery to the touch.

The sound of water in the river is very fast and gurgling, and no one knows where it is flowing.

The system seemed to be stumped by Jimo Yanzhou's question. It coughed lightly and then spoke slowly: It's an underground river, swept down by the vortex in Mirror Lake.

Jimo Yanzhou: I almost drowned just now, luckily Yun'er can swim.

System: Thanks to Zhou Xiaomei, hehe...

Jimo Yanzhou: System, why are you smiling so obscenely?

System: Your father thinks that the training system is also quite good. You are so stupid. With Zhou Xiaomei, she can be both a military advisor and a thug. No wonder Lin Bufan favors Zhou Xiaomei the most among all the women in his harem.

Jimo Yanzhou: How come I don’t know the plot I wrote?

System: Oh, it seems like among Lin Bufan’s concubines, only Zhou Xiaomei appears more often.

Jimo Yanzhou: You looked carefully, this place seems...

System: Yes, it is just what you think, the plot of the earth veins is in harmony.

Jimo Yanzhou: Isn't this plot... in the last volume? How come it appears here? You just said this is the undercurrent under the Mirror Lake.

System: It may be because you have not been cannon fodder yet, so a series of butterfly effects have been triggered. You see, Lin Bufan was captured by Su He and went to Ailao Mountain to mine. He was not in the plot of Tianhuicheng, so it is normal for the plot of Dimai Hexin to appear in advance.

Jimo Yanzhou: No, in the plot of Earth Veins Merging Hearts, Lin Bufan, who was at the tenth level of Qianyuan Realm, had a narrow escape from death. How do you think I, a mere first-level Qinxin Realm, can make it?
