Jiang Chen kicked the skeleton away and put away the treasured bow and arrow pot.
"I was just thinking about how to find a treasured bow for Xue Tong. This bloody evil spirit is actually a boy who brings wealth." Jiang Chen knew the goods and knew that this bow and arrows were extraordinary.
After getting rid of the blood evil, Jiang Chen did not stay and walked towards the outside.
At the same time, he communicated with the Sword Bird in animal language and asked them to look for Fatty Xuan and Huqiu Yue in the third to first levels of space.
Except for the golden-winged swordbird, which could barely understand what Jiang Chen meant, the other swordbirds could only give orders through the golden-winged swordbird.
Jiang Chen himself was not idle either and began to search every corner.
"Fatty Xuan, please don't get into trouble." Jiang Chen also knew that Fatty Xuan and the others had actually suffered an unreasonable disaster. If the other party didn't want to deal with him, Jiang Chen, they would never target Fatty Xuan and the others.
There are still five or six days left before the mission deadline, so Jiang Chen is not in a hurry to leave.
However, in the last few days, there are obviously very few princes' disciples staying in the Endless Catacombs. Moreover, from the traces of fighting that can be seen everywhere in the caves, it can also be seen that this trial is very bloody, and among the princes' descendants,
The fighting between them was very serious.
"The evil done by the Long family, most of the descendants of these princes have suffered unreasonable disasters, right?" Jiang Chen sighed softly.
The Long family brothers and sisters have obvious traces of manipulating the game. Looking at these corpses, some are close to the Long family, and some are not close to the Long family.
It must be a fight between the two camps.
It seems that in this assessment, the loss rate is at least more than 30%.
For the kingdom, this loss rate is indeed a bit high. You must know that in previous assessment trials, the loss rate would not exceed 10%.
If it exceeds one, it will be considered a heavy loss.
"Internal strife, this is probably the result of internal strife, right? If Lord Longteng establishes his power in this way, even if he replaces the royal family and controls the entire kingdom, his vitality will inevitably be greatly damaged. Moreover, how can these princes be willing to surrender to him?
?”
Jiang Chen shook his head. In the final analysis, he was actually not interested in the fight for secular royal power. However, the general trend made him stand on the opposite side of Marquis Long Teng.
And this time Long Tenghou hired a killer, which completely angered Jiang Chen.
"Long Tenghou, if I, Jiang Chen, are with you, sooner or later, I will make your Long clan disappear from the territory of the Eastern Kingdom!"
Jiang Chen was truly angered this time.
On the first day, Jiang Chen found nothing. Since he didn't find Fatty Xuan, he didn't find Huqiuyue either!
In this case, there is no news, but it is the best news.
If no one is found, it means that they may still be alive!
The next day, the descendants of the princes who stayed in the Endless Cave were basically evacuated. Jiang Chen still didn't find any clues.
"Could it be said that they are not dead? They have gone out?"
Jiang Chen was unwilling to give in, so he decided to find another day. If he still found nothing on the third day, he would leave the Endless Cave.
There are only two or three days left, it’s still too late to rush back!
It was also on the third day that a golden-winged swordbird found a clue. In a certain swamp in the second level of space, there was the breath of a living person.
Jiang Chen rushed over immediately and found that there was actually a living person in this swamp. Most of his body was caught in the quagmire, but this person was clinging to a tree, unable to get up or retreat. Now he entered
Even though he was in a coma, his hands were still holding tightly.
"Fat Xuan?" When Jiang Chen saw this man's face clearly, he was also stunned.
He quickly called to the golden-winged sword bird to save him.
Soon, Fatty Xuan was brought up and he was extremely weak. Jiang Chen fed him a pill and massaged his body some more.
Fatty Xuan woke up leisurely, his lips turning white: "Brother Chen, I...am I not dead yet?"
"Damn Fatty, I really thought you were dead. Have you seen Xiaoyue?" Jiang Chen asked.
"No... I didn't see it. I was so fucking unlucky that on the third day after entering, I fell into this swamp. I screamed every day, but no one heard my voice?"
Fatty Xuan complained.
This swamp is extremely desolate. It's a shame that Fatty Xuan was able to come to this damn place.
Jiang Chen was secretly glad that it was lucky that Fatty Xuan fell into this swamp, otherwise, it would have been very bad.
"Oh, Brother Chen, we are in trouble this time. We haven't collected any Qing Lingzhu. Damn it, even the swamp is bullying the fat man? Isn't it just that the tonnage is a bit heavy? But our Qinggong is not bad either.
.Why did you sink?" Fatty Xuan laughed at himself.
Jiang Chen was speechless, glanced at Fatty Xuan, and said with a smile: "It's not like there was no gain, look at your body fat, it's gone."
Fatty Xuan was stunned. He looked down and found that the clothes that were originally tight were now empty, just like stolen clothes.
And her waist, which is thicker than a bucket, is not much different from that of a normal person.
He had not eaten or drank for nearly a month. If he hadn't been so fat, he would have starved to death.
"Brother Chen, I...have I succeeded in losing weight?" Fatty Xuan suddenly jumped up, his eyes gleaming, "Haha, have I really succeeded in losing weight? In this way, when I pick up girls in the future, no one will think that I am overpowering her.
Out of breath?"
Jiang Chen was speechless. This fat man's mentality was not ordinary. He failed in the assessment, so he just explained it with one sentence. Instead, he thought about picking up girls.
Fortunately, Jiang Chen returned along the way this time and collected enough Green Spirit Beads from the dead princes' disciples.
Adding in his own task quota and Fatty Xuan's task quota, it is still more than enough.
After being raised in the cave for a long time, Fatty Xuan slowly regained some of his energy, and immediately became curious: "Brother Chen, what happened? Why do these sword birds obey your orders?"
"Fat man, we are brothers. Don't ask about these things. The more you know, the worse it will be for you." Jiang Chen knew that Fatty Xuan was destined to never make any achievements in martial arts in his life, so he had better not know about these things.
Good.
"Okay, no matter what, you are my most admired brother Chen." Fatty Xuan didn't ask much, "Brother, how many days has it been now?"
"Twenty-seven or eight days, right?"
"Is it twenty-seven or twenty-eight?" Fatty Xuan was depressed, "If it is twenty-seven days, then the main force will still be outside the valley. If it is twenty-eight days, the main force will leave. We have to do it ourselves.
We're going back. If we don't have a fast horse, how can we catch up in time?"
"Don't worry about these. What I'm worried about now is Xiaoyue." Jiang Chen sighed.
"Xiaoyue and his Eight Meridians True Qi, could anything happen?" Fatty Xuan asked carelessly.
Jiang Chen waved his hand but didn't say anything.
If Huqiuyue dies, no matter what the reason is, Jiang Chen will definitely make the Long family pay the price, and the price will be a hundred times a thousand times!
After another night's rest, Fatty Xuan's injuries recovered to 60-70%. He and Jiang Chen walked in the cave for several hours and finally walked out of the cave!
There is a blue sky and white sun outside, and the trees are shady.
Fatty Xuan looked up to the sky and breathed, shouting loudly: "Is there anyone alive? It's so good to be alive! The outside air is so refreshing to breathe!"
Walking out of the valley, we arrived at the place where the army was originally stationed, but the place was in a mess, and there was no one left.
"Sure enough, you're late?" Fatty Xuan was a little embarrassed, "Brother Chen, I seem to be dragging you down again."
"Stop talking nonsense." Jiang Chen looked around and said, "Looking at the traces, we should have left only one day ago. In other words, we still have two days to get back."
"Then why are you hesitating? Let's leave immediately!" Fatty Xuan said hurriedly.
"There's no rush." Jiang Chen smiled slightly and muttered a few animal language, and the ten golden-winged swordbirds flew away from the grass.
"I want to return to the royal capital and need your help." Jiang Chen ordered.
Six golden-winged swordbirds were arranged to take turns carrying the two of them. The other four golden-winged swordbirds were responsible for leading the army of swordbirds.
Jiang Chen naturally would not bring the Sword Bird army to the royal capital, but would settle them in a deep mountain dozens of miles outside the royal capital.
Dozens of miles, at the speed of the Sword Bird, is the time it takes for a cup of tea.
With this flying army, Jiang Chen felt a lot more confident.
…
In the royal capital, there has been a great uproar in the past few days.
In this trial, the loss rate actually reached 30%. Out of more than a hundred trial princes' descendants, only seventy or eighty came out.
And among these seventy or eighty people, less than half were injured.
And the rumors about the descendants of Long Tenghou manipulating the game spread throughout the royal capital, shocking the entire Eastern Kingdom!
If the previous competition between Marquis Long Teng and the royal family was only conducted secretly, then this manipulation of the game can almost be said to be a blatant challenge to the royal family's authority.
Although, in the rules of Qianlong Trial, there is no such thing as rigging the game.
However, the actions of the descendants of Marquis Longteng, those who obey me will prosper and those who go against me will perish, are clearly meant to pressure other princes to surrender to them.
This is a clique for personal gain!
If a prince begins to form a clique openly, that is a sign of rebellion!
Of course, this is just a public opinion in the royal capital.
Completely opposite to this version, there is another rumor, which says that Jiang Hanhou’s Jiang Chen is the one manipulating the game.
This statement described Jiang Chen as the mastermind behind the game, and blamed Jiang Chen for the internal strife among the princes' descendants.
Moreover, this rumor also mentioned an extremely sensitive piece of information, that is, Jiang Chen tried to sneak attack the Long brothers and sisters, trying to usurp the First Prince Order of Marquis Long Teng!
The two statements represent the two opposing forces in the capital!
Although the first statement is obviously more convincing and closer to the truth. But now in the royal capital, more than half of the 108 princes have already acquiesced in the strength of Longteng Houfu.
Therefore, although this statement is close to the truth, it has been gradually suppressed.
The second theory, because of the disappearance of the person involved, Jiang Chen, has a tendency to get worse. To a certain extent, this also symbolizes the battle between the royal family and Long Tenghou, and the balance has gradually tilted towards Longhou.
.
Within the Jiang Hanhou Mansion, although Jiang Feng was able to stabilize the situation, in the face of the rumors from the outside world, Jiang Hanhou was unable to stop them due to his deterrence.
After all, he, Jiang Feng, has a weak foundation and does not have even one-tenth of the energy of Marquis Long Teng in the capital.
In other words, if the backing of the royal family is removed, Jiang Feng will become alone, and the entire Jiang Hanhou Mansion will be like a lonely boat in the ocean, facing the violent impact of Long Tenghou and his gang members alone.
The situation in the royal capital is becoming more and more delicate.
In the Longteng Marquis Mansion, Longteng Marquis Long Zhaofeng was in high spirits, and Jiang Chen was finally eliminated as a thorn in his side. Although the Long Yinye brothers and sisters did not see Jiang Chen's death with their own eyes before they left the cave.
However, Marquis Long Teng was very relieved that Jiang Chen broke into the fourth level of space, which was a recognized forbidden area. Once he entered, he would definitely die!
Therefore, in the eyes of Marquis Long Teng, Jiang Chen is undoubtedly a dead man.
