The Cangmu Tribe is at the junction of the Fire Realm and the Wood Realm. The waiter at the shop said that it would take half a year for the fastest horse to reach the Great Xia Dynasty.
Jiang Chen doesn't have the fastest horse, but he has Bai Ling, who can be said to be fast when he's on the road.
Moreover, outside the realm of beasts, there are rarely any frightening dangers.
For Jiang Chen and Bai Ling, this journey is like traveling.
At the same time, back in the outside world, Jiang Chen told Bai Ling to calm down and stop causing trouble like he did in the Beast Realm.
He was very lucky that Bai Ling was raised as a war pet. If it were a wild monster and the blood of the beast was awakened, he would not have the guts to bring it into human society casually.
As his spiritual wisdom opens up day by day, Bai Ling is now like a playful child, but he listens to Jiang Chen's words.
Half a month later, Jiang Chen returned to the Fire Domain.
What's interesting is that when he passed the Suzaku City that he had experienced last time, he saw the mine that almost trapped him to death.
"I don't know what happened to those sarcophagi."
After such a long time, the news about the underground imperial tomb seems to have been blocked, and outsiders cannot know the details.
Tianji Pavilion even sold this information at a high price, and the amount was no less than the elixir information Jiang Chen was looking for.
Jiang Chen first entered Zhuque City and found that the city was far less lively than the last time he came.
Soon, he found that he could not see the young man again.
People in the city were very surprised when they saw him. Someone asked him: "Young man, if you don't join in the fun of such a big event as the Holy Court Competition, what are you doing here?"
"Isn't this the beginning?"
Jiang Chen expected that there would still be more than half a month left, so he was not very anxious.
However, the detailed date was set after he was trapped, so there are some discrepancies.
"Hey, I don't know when you think it will be. Anyway, the preliminary selection for the Holy Academy Competition has begun, which lasts for three days. Now, it seems to be the second day."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't sit still and quickly took Bai Ling out of the city and flew at full speed.
This news disrupted all his plans. Originally, he planned to go to Shiwanda Mountain to ensure safety, and then return to Tiandao Sect to participate in the Holy Academy Competition with the people of the sect.
"It should be in time."
Jiang Chen estimated that the last time he took the flying ship back and forth took several days. Now he and Bai Ling were flying several times faster.
In such a state of full firepower, before dark, Jiang Chen entered the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Let's take a rest."
Jiang Chen is quite satisfied with this progress. He still has a whole night left, so he doesn't have to worry about catching up.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way quickly!"
When Jiang Chen was about to find a place to land, an anxious voice came from behind.
Just when Jiang Chen wanted to turn around, Bai Ling threw him aside.
At the same time, a sailboat, one of the fastest among flying props, flew past where he was standing just now.
By the time Jiang Chen regained his footing, the sailboat had stopped at the end of his sight.
Jiang Chen quickly understood that if Bai Ling hadn't reacted in time, he would have been hit by the sailboat.
When the sailboat starts at full speed, it cannot stop whenever it wants.
He had a certain understanding of sailboats, and he heard the reminder from the people on the boat, so he didn't have much resentment in his heart.
Bai Ling, on the other hand, was so angry that he wanted to destroy the sailboat.
Jiang Chen comforted him with a few words, praised his performance just now, and promised to arrive at the destination soon and buy him roasted legs with honey.
Only then did Bai Ling's anger subside.
"Go over and have a look."
The sailboat was parked there, and it was the direction Jiang Chen was going, so he flew over.
However, he took out a mask and put it on his face, not wanting to be seen.
After everyone thought he was dead, he felt an urge to play a prank in his heart.
At the same time, on the deck of the sailboat, a group of young people were also having a heated discussion.
"Did you hit anyone?"
"I'm not sure, but I didn't hear the sound, so I must have avoided it."
"The bow of the ship is not damaged. No one must have hit it."
"But that person seems to be very frightened. I'll give him some compensation later."
Although there was a lot of discussion, the right to speak still belonged to the man and woman in the middle.
The woman who said she wanted to compensate Jiang Chen was one of the women. Her face was not small, slightly rounded, but her facial features were very delicate.
She was wearing a tight-fitting black robe that covered her plump figure.
Her clothing and hairstyle are obviously different from those of the people around her, as if two people are standing together.
"Princess Xiangxiang, you are too naive."
The handsome young man next to her said: "People's hearts are sinister. If we show too much weakness, that person will definitely blackmail us."
"Ah?" Princess Xiangxiang didn't know what was going on and looked confused.
"Your Highness, Senior Brother Yun is right."
"We should hurt him first and then give him benefits. Otherwise, if we give him benefits directly, the lion will open his mouth."
"All right."
Princess Xiangxiang didn't have any opinion. After hearing what others said, she acquiesced.
"Princess, that person is here."
A maid trotted over.
"Princess, leave it to us."
Senior Brother Yun and others immediately looked toward the stern of the ship, and soon, Jiang Chen appeared in their sight riding Bai Ling.
"Flying tiger?"
It was dark just now, so they didn't see clearly how Jiang Chen was flying. They thought it was a flying prop, but they didn't expect it to be a tiger with wings.
"What did you do? You didn't look at the road. Do you know how much we lost when we stopped the sailboat in an emergency?!"
After being surprised, they did not forget what they had just discussed. One of them took the lead and shouted at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen frowned. Didn't these people stop and prepare to apologize?
He shook his head, having no time to chat with these people, and left without saying a word.
This was beyond the expectations of those on board.
Princess Xiangxiang looked at the person in front of her in confusion, the doubts on her face getting deeper and deeper.
"He was wearing a mask at night. He might have done something shameful and he didn't want to show up." Senior Brother Yun explained awkwardly.
Princess Xiangxiang was doubtful and the sailboat started again.
The speed of the sailboat was there, and not long after, they saw Jiang Chen flying on Bai Ling again.
Before anyone else could speak, Princess Xiangxiang felt guilty and said: "My friend, I didn't see you there just now, and I almost collided with you. I'm really sorry. I see that you are heading in the direction of Daxia Kyoto as well. Why don't you board our ship?"
bring it on."
When Jiang Chen heard this, he felt a little moved.
With the speed of a sailboat, a lot of time will be saved.
"Okay." Jiang Chen didn't show any pretense and jumped onto the deck with Bai Ling.
Bai Ling, who didn't need to fly, retracted his wings. To be precise, his wings disappeared. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes just now, the people on the boat wouldn't believe that there was such a tiger.
"Friend, what kind of battle pet is this? It's so magical!" Princess Xiangxiang was also attracted by Bai Ling.
However, Bai Ling didn't appreciate it very much, grinning and sighing when she came closer.
"He doesn't like strangers." Jiang Chen explained.
He knew in his heart that Bai Ling was holding a grudge because the ship almost hit him.
