Although he was escorted by the elite troops of the royal family, Jiang Chen did not let down his guard on the road. He knew very well that the relationship he had formed with Marquis Long Teng was already at the point of death.
Marquis Longteng is extremely ambitious and will never allow any stumbling blocks on his way to seize power. And he, Jiang Chen, has obviously become a stumbling block for Marquis Longteng.
However, what surprised Jiang Chen slightly was that the road was smooth and smooth. Not to mention surprise attacks, Jiang Chen paid attention and didn't even peek in the dark.
"Could it be that Lord Long Teng has given up his mind? No longer planning to take action? Or does he have other intentions?" Jiang Chen felt surprised and a little unsure.
Two days later, the team safely arrived at the outskirts of the Endless Cave.
The Endless Cave is located in the northeast of the kingdom, on the outskirts of a valley, where a large army is stationed.
Princess Magatama stood high on the temporary tent: "Camp here tonight, and early tomorrow morning, you will enter this valley. And in this valley is the entrance to the endless cave. There are many entrances, but they are all in
In this valley. When you enter this valley, you must find your own entrance and exit."
"Remember, whether you are lost in the valley or in the endless caves, the kingdom will not send anyone to rescue you. Once you enter the endless caves, life and death are in your hands. So, play your part.
Come in spirit."
After setting up camp, Jiang Chen chose a big tree and sat cross-legged.
Although he knew very well that Princess Magatama's defense focus would inevitably revolve around him, Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen was not used to placing his safety on others.
That night, Jiang Chen's "Ear of the Wind" was never put away, and no slightest disturbance could escape Jiang Chen's ears.
However, this night was still inexplicably calm.
Jiang Chen even had the illusion that Marquis Longteng really didn't intend to take action? Or, in the eyes of Marquis Longteng, Jiang Chen was not qualified yet?
After much deliberation, Jiang Chen simply didn't bother to think about it.
The morning sun on the next day shone on the outside of the valley. All the descendants of the princes were in high spirits, and their eyes were looking into the valley with deep expectation.
"Brother Chen, let me tell you some good news. I had another breakthrough last night." Fatty Xuan came up and said excitedly.
Fatty Xuan only had five meridians of Qi two or three months ago, and he was a downstream person among the descendants of the princes.
That day, Jiang Chen taught him the "True Acupoint Resonance" technique, which helped him break through the six meridians of true qi. However, unexpectedly, Fatty Xuan actually broke through again, cultivated the seven meridians of true qi, and successfully entered the ranks of high-level true qi realms!
Fatty Xuan chose to protect his position, that is, a fourth-rank prince, and he performed a fourth-rank mission.
Seven Meridians of True Qi is considered sufficient in the ranks of fourth-level tasks.
The last time Huqiuyue broke through the Eight Meridians of True Qi, he failed to break through again this time. However, he has also located the ninth vital point of True Qi, and is not far away from breaking through the Nine Meridians of True Qi.
"Brother Chen, thank you very much this time." Huqiuyue's eyes were full of gratitude. This time he challenged the second-rank princes.
The first two second-level tasks were successfully completed.
If this third task is successfully completed, the Huqiu clan will be promoted to a second-grade prince!
"Work hard, be careful!" Jiang Chen warned one by one.
The descendants of the princes gathered together in twos and threes. Obviously, the final task was imminent, and many people were still a little nervous.
Standing next to each other can be regarded as a kind of psychological support.
Princess Magatama seemed to have dressed up deliberately today. Instead of wearing the sexy leather armor, she wore a dignified palace outfit, which gave her a bit more royal and aristocratic bearing.
"I have already said what needs to be said. I announce that the third mission will start immediately. According to the current ranking of the princes, from back to front, they will enter the valley one by one. Every half-quarter of an hour, one person will enter."
This arrangement is obviously to avoid vicious competition among the princes and start plotting against their opponents in the valley.
Those with lower rankings will have lower strength, relatively speaking, so go in first.
From low to high, the arrangement is very reasonable.
One after another, Fatty Xuan and Huqiu Yue entered one after another. Marquis Jiang Han ranked fourteenth among the princes, but when he entered, he was a few hours later than before.
"Jiang Chen, the endless caves are endless, you have to be careful. On the first and second levels, you can move around freely; on the third level, you have to be very alert, because there is a high possibility of king-level ferocious beasts appearing.
, whose combat power is at least comparable to that of human Zhenqi masters. Above the fourth level, you must never set foot in it. Remember, it is a forbidden area. Countless geniuses have entered it rashly, and no one has come out. Even the strong spiritual masters have entered
The fourth level is also full of dangers. Remember, remember!"
Princess Magatama admired Jiang Chen and did not hide it at all. She warned him in front of everyone.
The relationship between Jiang Chen and the royal family is no longer a secret. Even so, seeing Jiang Chen receiving special care from Princess Magatama made him feel slightly sour.
Jiang Chen nodded, and with a little movement, he shot into the valley.
The moment his body shot into the valley, Jiang Chen immediately unfolded the "Tianmu Divine Eye" and raised the "Ears of the Wind" high.
You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others.
Although none of the descendants of the princes who entered first could threaten Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen was a reincarnated person and had two lives of experience, so he knew when to be cautious.
In the valley, the messy vegetation looks very lush, and various large trees that cannot be embraced with arms block the light of the valley, making it appear very deep.
Jiang Chen took his time and started looking for the entrance to the endless cave.
After a while, I found a narrow entrance somewhere three or four miles away. The entrance was twists and turns, with many forks along the way.
Jiang Chen went around and around, following a path, and he didn't know how far he walked. He only felt that the light was getting darker and darker, and the temperature was getting lower and lower.
In the end, the light was completely lost and the soil under his feet became increasingly moist. Jiang Chen realized that he had entered the endless cave without even realizing it.
"There are countless forks in the road, like a maze. In addition, there are countless entrances. It is really not easy for descendants of more than a hundred princes to deliberately ambush someone."
When Jiang Chen came to the underground, he was not in a hurry. Instead, he looked around and felt relieved after confirming that he had reached the underground.
"This should be the so-called first level of space, right?"
If an ordinary person were standing here, he would look like a blind man and be unable to see his fingers.
For warriors, their eyesight is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Jiang Chen has cultivated the "Tianmu Divine Pupil", and his eyesight is many times stronger than that of warriors of the same level. Coupled with the "Ears of the Wind" and "Heart of the Rock", after being tested in this endless cave, it is even more powerful.
Quite advantageous.
"One hundred green spirit beads." Jiang Chen never forgets his mission.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Jiang Chen seemed to hear a scream coming from the depths of the cave. The sound was rapid and miserable. Since there were various echoes swirling around in the cave, it was impossible to tell the difference between far and near.
"This is the first level of space, and someone has been tricked?" Jiang Chen was shocked.
At this moment, Jiang Chen felt a rush of wind in the back of his head.
No, there's a sneak attack!
Jiang Chen's ears twitched and his sleeves flicked, as if there were eyes on the back of his head. A heavy-feathered flying knife slashed through a ray of light, like a beautiful rainbow in the dark cave.
call out!
Only a mournful hiss was heard as Chongyu's flying knife had hit something and fell to the ground with a bang.
A blue-winged swordbird!
The wings and beak of this blue-winged sword bird are as sharp as knives, much sharper than the swords of ordinary warriors.
"The green-winged swordbird, the wing blades and beak are indeed sharper than a sword."
Jiang Chen withdrew the heavy feather flying knife, took the green spirit bead from the forehead of the green-winged sword bird, and pocketed it.
"Oh, we won the first battle, but it happened very quickly." Jiang Chen roughly understood the skill of the Blue-winged Swordbird through his first contact with it.
"The actual combat level of this green-winged sword bird is at most equivalent to that of a human's four-line Qi powerhouse. However, its speed is fast, and in this darkness, in their territory, they have the advantage of the right time and place. If
The tester's cultivation is not as good as it, so it's not easy to deal with this green-winged sword bird."
With the experience of the first battle, Jiang Chen felt much more at ease.
He couldn't increase his speed either, but walked slowly all the way, maximizing the "Ear of the Third Eye" and "Ears of the Wind".
Taking advantage of this advantage, Jiang Chen harvested twelve Qingling Pearls in one day.
"I can harvest twelve Green Spirit Beads in one day. This speed is not fast, but it is not slow either. If I can maintain this level every day, I can go out in eight or nine days."
At the end of the day, Jiang Chen gained a lot and his confidence was greatly increased.
However, the next day, Jiang Chen discovered that the frequency of the green-winged swordbirds in the dozens of miles where he moved seemed to have decreased overnight.
"The Green-Winged Swordbird is a spiritual beast and is also intelligent. It seems that it is hiding when it knows that humans are hunting in large numbers."
More than a hundred descendants of the princes suddenly appeared, and each of them killed some. This number is also very astonishing.
Therefore, Jiang Chen is not surprised that the number of blue-winged swordbirds has dropped sharply.
"Hell, is this green-winged swordbird smarter than humans? I even killed two of them on the first day, and on the second day, let alone hunting, I didn't even see the bird feathers!"
"Damn it, are all these sword birds killed by the descendants of those powerful princes? I don't want to take risks in the second dimension."
Along the way, all Jiang Chen heard were these complaints.
It was as if all the green-winged swordbirds in this dimension had been slaughtered overnight.
Even Jiang Chen, relying on various advantages, only hunted three green-winged swordbirds on the second day.
Even Jiang Chen is like this, others can imagine.
"It seems that we can no longer linger on the first level. We must first enter the second level, or even the third level!"
Jiang Chen speculated that this green-winged sword bird must be incredibly intelligent. If you strike first, you will be stronger, but if you strike later, you will lose.
As soon as he thought about this, Jiang Chen accelerated his speed and rushed towards the depths of the endless cave.
