After running all the way for nearly half a month, they finally returned to the imperial capital. At the city gate, Evans and his friends actually ran into the Taylor family and the Warner family team who were returning together.
The expressions on the faces of the two families were not very good. Recent Warner ignored Evans, pretended not to see him, and walked straight into the city.
Only the Taylor family was not in a hurry to go into the city. Fox Taylor took the initiative to come over and greet Evans.
"Evans, everyone has suffered too much loss this time."
Fox Taylor took the initiative to speak.
Evans felt that the other party seemed to have something to say, so he patiently stopped his horse and said, "Yes, we didn't suffer any losses along the way through the evil spirits, but we didn't expect to suffer such heavy losses in the so-called treasure land.
These young people were the elite of the family, but almost all of them were killed in it."
Fox Taylor nodded, with a similarly sad look on his face, and said, “It’s the same with our Taylor family’s children, they all got caught up in it, it’s such a pity.
I asked them before, and they said they didn't know what went wrong. After entering the treasure place, they fell into an illusion and didn't wake up until then.
I have checked all the bodies, and there are no scars inside or outside, let alone any signs of poisoning, so the only possible cause of death is soul damage.
I don’t know what trap the Black Eyed King used to kill them, and why he only killed some of them and let others go. The whole thing seems extremely strange.”
Hearing Fox Taylor's words, Evans was stunned and said, "Master Fox, what do you think about this matter!?"
Evans knew that the other party was known as a think tank and his thoughts must be different from his, so he asked humbly.
Fox thought for a moment, shook his head and said, “I don’t have any specific opinions, I just think all this seems a little weird.
The Black-Eyed King was also a big shot. He was very powerful back then and caused war on the continent.
What he is doing now cannot be meaningless. He must have some special arrangements.
I don't believe that he just wanted to take revenge on the major forces that besieged him back then, so he went to great lengths to put on such a show for everyone to see. This is too outrageous. " Ye Li listened at the side, but he didn't dare to show any special expression on his face.
He naturally knew the plan of the Black-Eyed King or Dahuntian. After going to so much trouble, it was also to attract more people to the treasure trove.
As long as more people enter the treasure trove, he will definitely meet the most suitable person to devour and possess, and finally get a perfect body and leave the pyramid.
Moreover, it can use the power of soul to turn the people who enter into puppets. Once they become puppets, the other party will completely obey it and become its sharp nails that penetrate into many forces.
Evans couldn't answer Fox's words and could only listen quietly.
Fox did not let Evans wait too long. He was silent for a moment and said, "Forget it. Let's put this matter aside for now. Our top priority now is to resist the Jinde Empire.
According to my observations these days, there have been some unusual movements in the Jinde Empire. They have begun to quietly subdue the smaller forces around them, and it seems that they want to merge all of the smaller forces into their own.
These small forces were originally sandwiched between the Farant Empire and the Jinde Empire, and existed as a buffer between the two countries.
Now the Jinde Empire is trying to subdue these small forces. It is obvious that they will definitely make some big moves on the border."
Evans frowned when he heard this. He felt that what Fox said made sense.
He had also read the secret reports from the family when they arrived before, so he had heard a lot about the actions of the Jinde Empire.
Recently, the Duke of Wellington also said something very similar to what Fox just said. Regarding the situation on the mainland, they seem to have reached a similar judgment, that is, the Jinde Empire will make a big move.
The purpose of Fox's words to Evans was actually to find out what the Duke of Wellington meant.
Evans also understood this, so he answered: "Lord Fox, my eldest brother said something similar before, so I guess he has also noticed the unusual movements of the Jinde Empire.
If you wish to have a private conversation with Big Brother, I can let him know for you, what do you think
Fox immediately laughed and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to communicating with the Iron-blooded Grand Duke. I'll have to trouble you, Evans, to inform him."
Evans nodded quickly and said a few polite words.
After that, the two teams dispersed and entered the city separately. Fox returned to the Taylor family, and Ye Li and his team returned to the Yaxi family.
Upon hearing that they had returned, Wellington rushed out to greet them. When he saw the piles of corpses, the Duke of Wellington's face showed shock, and then a hint of sadness.
When Ye Li took one look, he couldn't help but think that this iron-blooded duke was not as cold-blooded as he had previously thought.
Evans hurriedly told the Duke of Wellington everything that had happened.
After the Duke of Wellington learned the details of what happened in the treasure place, his brows furrowed immediately, and then he said: "What kind of calculations does this Black Eyed King have in mind to plot against us? Such a treasure place is actually a trap."
Evans nodded and said, “Lord Fox Taylor had similar thoughts before, thinking that this treasure must have a deep meaning but he just couldn’t quite understand it.
By the way, Lord Fox also hopes to meet you."
Hearing Evans' words, the Duke of Wellington's eyes lit up and said, "It's a good thing that the old fox wants to see me.
I also have something to tell him, so we can find an opportunity to exchange some information and see if we can get something useful from each other."
At this time, everyone was still standing outside the yard. After Evans greeted Ye Li, he asked everyone else to leave and rest. Then he said to Wellington, "Brother, I have something to give you, but this is not the place to talk. Let's find a place where there is no one and I will tell you."
After hearing what Evans said, Wellington knew that what the other party was talking about was definitely not a trivial matter, so he did not delay and hurriedly led the two of them back to the meeting room of the Yaxi family.
After returning to the meeting room, Evans quickly took out the scroll of the Soul Gathering Cannon and said, "Brother, look, what is this!?"
Wellington heard this and hurried over.
