Chapter 72: Who's First
Xiao Chen looked around, guessing that everyone was likely to have left, thinking of Yue Ying's words, thinking that it should be the people from Qizi County who had already received the news that this trial was going to end early.
Just as he was about to leave, a sudden sense of danger came, and he released his divine sense, Xiao Chen sensed that on a big tree twenty meters in front of him, there was a martial artist hidden in the shadows.
This martial artist reined in all his aura, stared at Xiao Chen with his eyes, and killed him immediately when he had an opportunity.
Xiao Chen controlled his divine sense, and after seeing him clearly, he couldn't help but smile in his heart. This person is actually a great martial artist of the Zhang family, and he should have come with the two elders of the Tang family, but I don't know how this person escaped Ye Shenzhou's pursuit.
But the aura on his body is a little weak, in the past few days, in order to escape Ye Shenzhou's pursuit, he has spent a lot of energy, and obviously he has not had a good rest.
With his current state, if he didn't leave this place as soon as possible, he still wanted to kill himself, how much did this Zhang family hate himself, Xiao Chen muttered in his heart.
This person's state at this time is only half of the usual at most, Xiao Chen doesn't want to escape, this may not be a trial opportunity for him, this is much more interesting than the demon beast.
At that moment, he made the first move, the thunder and lightning flashed, Xiao Chen's body suddenly appeared behind the person, the moon shadow knife was full of lightning, and the endless coercion 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, and couldn't figure out how Xiao Chen knew that he was hiding here.
......
Outside the dark forest, the sun is shining high.
"Dad, what are you calling us back for, Cousin Xiao Chen, he hasn't come out yet. Xiao Yuhan said dissatisfiedly to Xiao Qiang.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, Xiao Qiang took the four martial artists of the Xiao family great martial artist realm to the Xiao family camp, and only said one sentence that the trial ended early, and brought everyone out.
Xiao Chen frowned and said, "The masters sent by Qizi County to the core area of the Dark Forest, except for one great martial artist who escaped, all the others died, including the martial master. ”
Everyone behind him took a breath and said, "The masters of the Martial Venerable level are all dead, are the demon beasts of the Dark Forest so terrifying?"
"He was killed by someone, not at the hands of demon beasts, and the death was extremely terrifying, Qizi County has already reported the matter of the dark forest to the royal family, and now this is not where we can intervene, so the trial must be canceled." Xiao Qiang explained.
Xiao Yu's pretty face changed slightly, and he said hurriedly: "Then Cousin Xiao Chen, isn't it even more dangerous, no, I'm going to go in and find him." ”
"Nonsense!" Xiao Qiang shouted, "You don't want to think about the things in the Seven Corners Mountain, is Xiao Chen so easy to die, if he wants to run, even Wuzun can't catch him, you can only add a burden to him if you go." ”
Xiao Yu's eyes turned red, and he didn't say anything more in the end.
"What is Elder Xiao doing, scolding? This is not good. Tang Tian, the head of the Tang family, came over with a group of people, "What about the second young master of your family, why don't you see him and not be eaten by demon beasts?" ”
Xiao Qiang looked at Tang Tian and sneered coldly: "Don't think I don't know about the small actions you did in the Dark Forest, it's a pity that you are not as good as the sky, and the two elder-level characters died in vain." ”
Tang Tian's face changed, and then he smiled and said: "Elder Xiao said that Tang doesn't understand, but although this trial ended early, the results of the three families still have to be compared, and I don't know how many demon cores the Xiao family has gained." ”
"When the city lord comes, I will report the number, and I hope that the Tang family will not report too little. ”
The Xiao family had recovered a total of one hundred and eighty second-order demon cores this time, and it only took three days to achieve such results, Xiao Qiang was already very satisfied, so he was not afraid of Tang Tian's ridicule.
After a while, the city lord Dugu Feng called the three families together, his expression looked relaxed, and the matter of the dark forest didn't seem to affect him much.
Dugu Feng said with a smile: "Although this trial has been affected by some and has to be terminated early, but the old rule, the competition between the three of you still has to continue, I don't know if anyone will surpass the Xiao family this time, the Xiao family has been the first several times." ”
"Let's start with the Zhang family, I don't know how many demon cores the Zhang family has harvested this time. ”
When the head of the Zhang family heard this, his face was extremely ugly, this time Zhang Hewu, the most powerful young disciple of their Zhang family, was injured and did not come. There wasn't much to gain at all, but at this time, the city lord spoke, and he had to report it.
"The Zhang family has obtained a total of fifty second-order demon cores on this trip. The head of the Zhang family said.
Dugu Feng was not surprised by this result, and chuckled: "It's okay, Zhang He didn't come, it's not bad that you have achieved such results." ”
"Next, the Tang family will report the number, I still have expectations for the Tang family. ”
Tang Tian smiled faintly and said, "The city lord has been raised, and the Tang family has harvested a total of one hundred second-order demon cores this time. ”
After Tang Tian finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Qiang, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, it was time for you to report the number.
Xiao Qiang was slightly relieved when he heard the Tang family's report, and 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-order demon cores in this trial. ”
Dugu Feng laughed when he heard this: "It seems that the Xiao family's heritage is deep enough, and the Xiao family won this trial, congratulations." ”
Tang Tian said with a deep smile on his face: "City Lord, don't be in a hurry to congratulate you, Tang Feng will show your harvest to the City Lord." ”
Hearing this, Tang Feng stepped forward, took out six demon cores and put them in front of the city lord, the luster on these six demon cores was extremely deep, and it looked different in a group of second-order demon cores.
Someone next to him immediately exclaimed, "This is a third-order demon core." ”
"Yes, it's really a third-order demon core. Someone next to him took one of the demon cores, and said in surprise after looking at it carefully.
The third-order demon beast is comparable to the strength of a junior great martial artist, and it is really unbelievable that this Tang Feng can actually take out six at once.
"After so many years of trials in Mohe City, it seems that I have never heard of anyone hunting a third-order demon core, and the Tang family seems to be about to get the first place this time, overpowering the Xiao family!"
"Yes, what is even more rare is that he only has the strength of the peak of a top-grade martial artist, as long as this strength goes further, I am afraid that no one will be his opponent in the next ten years. ”
Dugu Feng took a closer look at the three demon cores handed over by Tang Feng, and said with a light smile at the end: "It seems that the Xiao family's position as the first one this time is not guaranteed, and the value of these three third-order demon cores is enough to withstand a hundred second-order demon cores." ”
Tang Tian looked at Xiao Qiang with a smug face, "Elder Xiao, I'm sorry, the first trial this time belongs to my Tang family." ”
If you can suppress the Xiao family in this trial, and enter the Xiao family again after ten years of covenant to defeat you, the Xiao family's prestige will fall to the bottom at that time.
Those business groups and forces that have dealings with the Xiao family will soon see the situation and cut off contact with the Xiao family, and the Xiao family will really enter a desperate situation at that time.
Xiao Qiang's face was a little ugly, he thought he would win the game, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face in the end, Tang Tian's move was too poisonous.
The faces of the children of the Xiao family were also extremely ugly, this trial represented the honor of the family, and they were all responsible for not winning the first place, even Xiao Ling'er, who was usually eccentric, bit her red lips at this time, and her face was not good.
At this moment, Xiao Jian, who was in the crowd, slowly walked up to the city lord, took out five demon cores, and said lightly: "I also got five third-order demon cores, please ask the city lord to identify them." ”
After speaking, he walked to the rear without saying a word, his face was as calm as water, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking in his heart.
"It's Xiao Jian, could it be that he has also obtained a fifth-order demon core. ”
"This was the first person in Mohe City, did he really obtain a third-order demon core?"
"I heard that after he was humiliated by Zhang He, he has been in retreat, but I didn't expect that it would be a blockbuster at this time, and I don't know if I can save the defeat of the Xiao family. ”
"I think it's difficult, after all, he only took out five third-order demon cores, but Tang Feng took out six. ”
The people in the city lord's mansion next to them were talking about it, and 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 said: "These five demon cores are indeed third-order demon cores, I thought about it for a while, the Tang family has one more third-order demon core than the Xiao family, and the Xiao family has eighty more second-order demon cores than the Tang family, how can it be counted as a tie." ”
Xiao Qiang smiled lightly on his face, and accepted this result, he thought that he would lose the game, but who knew that it would be good to get a draw.
At this time, the most unhappy 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 be worth at least a hundred second-order demon cores." ”
Xiao Qiang sneered: "Do you think you are worth a hundred if you say it's worth a hundred? Do you think you're the pavilion master of Linlang Pavilion? Do you think it's only worth fifty, what can you do." ”
Tang Tian said angrily: "Anyway, I won't accept this draw, and after I go back, I will publicize that the Tang family has won the first place in this trial." ”
Dugu Feng is also a little difficult to deal with at this time, and it is not easy for him to judge such a result, after all, he is not an expert in this area in terms of the value of this demon core.
"It's really not a draw, I think so too, but it's you who lose, the Tang family. ”
Who is saying such things, the air is so big.
Everyone looked back, only to see the figure of a young man slowly walking out of the exit of the dark forest, his eyes narrowed slightly, a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of bright light.
He carried a round package on his back, and the sun shone on his face, shining his barely handsome face, and he spoke quietly, but everyone heard him clearly.
"Cousin Xiao Chen, you're finally back. ”
"Brother Xiao Chen, come and help Ling'er take revenge. ”
"Captain,......
The children of the Xiao family who followed Xiao Chen to the mission all ran over in surprise, Xiao Chen greeted them one by one, the smile on his face did not decrease, and he came to Tang Tian, looking at him fearlessly.
"Since you don't want a draw, I'll convince you of losing. ”
With a wave of his hand, he released three demon cores and said, "This is the demon core of the third-order demon beast demon pattern leopard, a total of three." ”
"This is the demon core of the third-order demon beast Blood Moon Demon Monkey, and it is also three. ”
"This is the demon core of the third-order demon beast Sword Tail Dragon, a total of four. ”
Xiao Chen didn't come up with the name of each demon beast, and the besieging crowd would let out an exclamation, and finally Xiao Chen took out the demon cores of eight demon beasts, each of which required at least three.
"What else do you have to say, Tang Tian, your Tang family will never be able to surpass the Xiao family, if you want to be the first, ask me first if Xiao Chen is allowed. Xiao Chen looked at Tang Tian, who was stunned, and said coldly.
Everyone in the Xiao family felt that they breathed out fiercely, and looking at Tang Tian's appearance that he had nothing to say, they all felt extremely comfortable in their hearts.
Xiao Chen said lightly: "If you still feel unconvinced, this package behind me is still worth a hundred second-order demon cores." ”
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, the round package behind him was opened, and he threw it to the ground, and a round human head rolled alone on the ground, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't bat at death.
"That's an elder of the Zhang family, how could he be killed by Xiao Chen, according to the regulations, he shouldn't 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 in unison, and they looked at Xiao Chen's eyes, revealing a trace of horror.
