Xiao Chen looked around and guessed that everyone had probably left. Thinking of Yue Ying's words, it seemed that the people in Qizi County had gotten the news that the trial was going to end early.
Just when he was about to leave, a sudden sense of danger came, and he released his consciousness. Xiao Chen sensed that there was a warrior hidden in the shadow of a big tree twenty meters in front of him.
The warrior restrained all his aura, stared at Xiao Chen, and only waited for an opportunity to kill him immediately.
Xiao Chen controlled his consciousness and couldn't help but smile after seeing him clearly. This man turned out to be a great martial artist from the Zhang family. He should have come with two elders from the Tang family, but I don't know how this man escaped Ye Chenzhou's pursuit.
But the aura on his body was a little weak. He had spent a lot of energy trying to escape Ye Chenzhou's pursuit in the past few days, and he obviously didn't get a good rest.
In his current state, if he doesn't leave here as soon as possible and still thinks about killing himself, how much the Zhang family hates him, Xiao Chen murmured in his heart.
This man's current state is at most half of his usual state. Xiao Chen doesn't want to escape. This may not be a trial opportunity for him, which is much more interesting than the monster beast.
Taking action immediately, thunder and lightning flashed, Xiao Chen's body suddenly appeared behind the man, the moon shadow knife was filled with lightning, and the endless pressure of the sixth-order demon core dispersed in all directions.
The man looked back at Xiao Chen's smiling face with an extremely surprised expression on his face. He couldn't figure out how Xiao Chen knew he was hiding here.
…
Outside the dark forest, the sun is high and the sun shines brightly.
"Dad, why did you call us back? Cousin Xiao Chen hasn't come out yet." Xiao Yulan said dissatisfiedly to Xiao Qiang.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, Xiao Qiang brought four martial arts masters from the Xiao family to the Xiao family camp. He just said that the trial was over early and brought everyone out.
Xiao Chen frowned and said: "Except for a great martial artist who escaped from the experts sent by Qizi County to the core area of the Dark Forest, all the others died, including the martial master-level expert."
Everyone behind them took a breath and said, "The martial masters are all dead. Are the monsters in the dark forest so terrifying?"
"He was killed by someone, not at the hands of a monster, and the death was extremely horrific. Qizi County has already reported the matter in the dark forest to the royal family. Now we can't get involved here, so there will be a trial. Cancel." Xiao Qiang explained.
Xiao Yulan's pretty face changed slightly, and she said anxiously: "Then cousin Xiao Chen, isn't it even more dangerous? If not, I will go in to find him."
"Nonsense!" Xiao Qiang shouted sharply, "You don't want to think about what happened in Qijiao Mountain. Did Xiao Chen die so easily? If he wanted to run away, even Wu Zun couldn't catch him. If you go, you can only give him He adds to the burden."
Xiao Yulan's eyes turned red and she said nothing in the end.
"Elder Xiao, what are you doing, scolding people? This is not good." Tang Tian, the head of the Tang family, came over with a group of people, "Where is your second young master? Why didn't you see him? He won't be eaten by monsters. Bar."
Xiao Qiang looked at Tang Tian and mocked coldly: "Don't think that I don't know about the little tricks you did in the dark forest. It's a pity that you are not as good as God. Two elders died in vain."
Tang Tian's expression changed, and then he smiled and said: "Tang couldn't understand what Elder Xiao said, but although this trial ended early, the results of the three families are still comparable. I don't know how many demon cores the Xiao family has harvested. "
"When the city lord comes later, I will report the number. I hope the Tang family will not report too few."
The Xiao family recovered a total of 180 second-level demon cores this time. It only took three days to achieve such results. Xiao Qiang was already very satisfied, so he was not afraid of Tang Tian's teasing.
After a while, the city lord Dugu Feng called everyone from the three families together. His expression looked very relaxed, and the incident in the dark forest did not seem to affect him much.
Dugu Feng smiled and said: "Although this trial was affected by some influences and had to be terminated early, the old rule is that the competition between the three of you will still continue. I don't know if anyone will surpass the Xiao family this time. The Xiao family has been defeated several times. It’s number one.”
"Let's start with the Zhang family. I don't know how many demon cores the Zhang family has harvested this time."
The head of the Zhang family looked extremely ugly when he heard this. This time, Zhang He Wuhun, the most capable young disciple of their Zhang family, was injured and did not come. There wasn't much gain at all, but now the city lord had spoken and he had to retaliate.
"The Zhang family obtained a total of fifty second-order demon cores during this trip." The head of the Zhang family said.
Dugu Feng was not surprised by this result. He chuckled and said, "It's okay. Zhang He didn't come. It's not bad for you to achieve such results."
"Next, the Tang family will report their numbers. I'm quite looking forward to the Tang family."
Tang Tian smiled faintly and said: "The city lord commended me. The Tang family has harvested a total of one hundred second-level demon cores this time."
After Tang Tian finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Qiang. The meaning in his eyes was obvious. It's your turn to count.
Xiao Qiang felt slightly relieved when he heard the Tang family's report. Looking at the eyes of the city lord looking over, Xiao Qiang said: "The Xiao family has obtained a total of one hundred and eighty second-level demon cores in this trial. "
Hearing this, Dugu Feng laughed and said, "It seems that the Xiao family's background is deep enough. The Xiao family won this trial again. Congratulations."
A deep smile appeared on Tang Tian's face and he said: "Don't rush to congratulate me, City Lord. Tang Feng will show your harvest to the City Lord."
After hearing this, Tang Feng stepped forward, took out six demon cores and placed them in front of the city lord. The luster of these six demon cores was extremely deep, making them unique among a group of second-level demon cores.
Someone nearby immediately exclaimed, "This is a third-level demon core."
"Yes, it's really a third-order demon core." Someone next to him took one of the demon cores and looked at it carefully and said in surprise.
The third-level monsters are comparable to the strength of junior martial arts masters. Tang Feng can actually take out six of them at once, which is really unbelievable.
"In all the years of trials in Mohe City, I have never heard of anyone hunting for a third-level demon core. It seems that the Tang family is going to take first place this time, overwhelming the Xiao family!"
"Yes, what's even more rare is that he only has the strength of a top-grade warrior. As long as his strength goes one step further, I'm afraid no one will be his opponent in the next ten years."
Dugu Feng carefully looked at the three demon cores handed over by Tang Feng, and finally said with a smile: "It seems that the Xiao family's first position is not guaranteed this time. The value of these three third-level demon cores is enough to withstand a Hundreds of second-order demon cores.”
Tang Tian looked at Xiao Qiang with a smug expression, "Elder Xiao, I'm sorry, the first place in this trial belongs to my Tang family."
If you can suppress the Xiao family in this trial, and enter the Xiao family again to defeat them after ten years of agreement, the reputation of the Xiao family will fall to the bottom.
Those business groups and forces that have dealings with the Xiao family will soon see the situation and cut off all contact with the Xiao family. At that time, the Xiao family will truly enter a desperate situation.
Xiao Qiang's face was a bit ugly. He thought he would win the game, but he was hit hard in the face in the end. Tang Tian's move was too poisonous.
The faces of all the children of the Xiao family are also extremely ugly. This trial represents the honor of the family. They are all responsible for not getting the first place. Even Xiao Ling'er, who is usually quirky, is biting his red lips at this time, his face is expressionless. depressed.
At this moment, Xiao Jian, who was among the crowd, slowly walked up to the city lord, took out five demon cores, and said calmly: "I also got five third-level demon cores. Please appraise them, the city lord."
After saying that, he walked to the back without saying a word, his face as calm as water, making it impossible to guess what was going on in his mind.
"It's Xiao Jian. Could it be that he also obtained the fifth-level demon core?"
"Has the former number one person in Mo River City really obtained the third-level demon core?"
"I heard that he has been in seclusion since he was humiliated by Zhang He. I didn't expect that he would become a blockbuster at this time. I wonder if he can restore the Xiao family's defeat."
"It's hard for me. After all, he only took out five third-order demon cores, but Tang Feng took out six."
The people in the city lord's palace nearby were talking a lot. No one expected that the results of this trial would be twists and turns for the first time.
Dugu Feng pondered for a moment and then said: "These five demon cores are indeed third-order demon cores. I thought about it for a moment. The Tang family has one more third-order demon core than the Xiao family. The Xiao family has eighty more second-order demon cores than the Tang family. , how about counting it as a tie.”
Xiao Qiang smiled softly on his face and accepted the result. He thought it was a inevitable defeat, but who knew that there would be a twist and turn, and it would be good to get a draw.
The most unhappy person at this time was Tang Tian. He said with some dissatisfaction: "I don't know how much higher the value of the third-order demon core is than the second-order demon core. I think it can at least be worth a hundred second-order demon cores."
Xiao Qiang mocked: "You think it's worth a hundred if it's worth a hundred? Do you think you are the master of Linlang Pavilion? And you think, I think it's only worth fifty, so what can you do."
Tang Tian said angrily: "I won't accept this draw anyway. When I go back, I will publicize that the Tang family won first place in this trial."
Dugu Feng was also in a bit of trouble at this time. It was difficult for him to make a judgment on such a result. After all, he was not an expert in this field on the value of this demon core.
"It's indeed not a draw, I think so too, but it's you, the Tang family, who lose."
Who is saying such things, the air is so big.
Everyone looked back and saw a young man slowly walking out of the exit of the dark forest. His eyes were slightly squinted, a little uncomfortable with the sudden bright light.
He was carrying a round package on his back, and the sunlight hit his face, illuminating his barely handsome face extremely brightly. His voice was not loud, but everyone heard it clearly. his words.
"Cousin Xiao Chen, you are finally back."
"Brother Xiao Chen, come and help Linger get revenge."
"team leader,… "
The children of the Xiao family who were on the mission with Xiao Chen all ran over in surprise. Xiao Chen greeted them one by one, with the smile on his face unabated, and came to Tang Tian, looking at him fearlessly.
"Since you don't want a draw, I will convince you that you lost."
He waved his hand and released three demon cores and said: "These are the demon cores of the third-level demon beast Demonic Leopard. There are three in total."
"These are the demon cores of the third-level demonic beast, the Blood Moon Demon Monkey. There are also three of them."
"These are the demon cores of the third-level demon beast Sword-tailed Dragon. There are four in total."
Every time Xiao Chen named a monster beast, the crowd would let out a cry of surprise. Finally, Xiao Chen took out the monster cores of eight kinds of monster beasts, at least three of each type.
"What else do you have to say, Tang Tian? Your Tang family can never surpass the Xiao family. If you want to be number one, first ask me, Xiao Chen, if I am sure." Xiao Chen looked at the dumbfounded Tang Tian and said coldly. .
Everyone in the Xiao family breathed out a sigh of relief. Seeing Tang Tian's speechless expression, they all felt extremely relieved.
Xiao Chen said calmly: "If you still feel dissatisfied, the package behind me is worth a hundred second-level demon cores."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he opened the round package behind him and threw it to the ground. A round human head rolled in a lonely circle on the ground, with eyes wide open and eyes wide open.
"That was an elder of the Zhang family. Why was he killed by Xiao Chen? According to the regulations, he should not appear in the dark forest." The onlookers took a deep breath.
"What!"
"What!"
Tang Tian and the head of the Zhang family exclaimed at the same time, their faces changed, and they looked at Xiao Chen with a hint of fear.
