These three days were the busiest for Bai Feng. Every once in a while, someone would come to challenge him. Fortunately, there was a rule in the Tianjiao Camp that stated "one person cannot be challenged within two hours." Otherwise, the continuous challenges in a row would have exhausted him!
During this period, Fang Yuan also watched Bai Feng's battles. It turned out that this guy was an archer. His left hand could transform into a long purple bow, and he could use true essence as arrows to launch attacks from a distance. Apparently, Bai Feng also had a martial arts talent, and he was a so - called ADC. His strength was really not weak.
With Bai Feng's continuous fighting, he made rapid progress and finally managed to hold onto his last - ranked position. In the blink of an eye, three days passed, and the top - fifteen members remained unchanged.
Early that morning, under the leadership of Shi Mo, a group of people took several carriages and left Jianghai Prefecture City. The Henglin Mountains they were heading to were an extremely vast and dense forest. One end of it bordered Songyun County in Jianghai Prefecture, and the other end bordered another prefecture in Yan Country: Jiarui Prefecture.
It was said that there were extremely terrifying demons in the Henglin Mountains, making it very dangerous. However, they would not go deep. The task this time was to kill the demons that ran out of the mountains to eat people and thus maintain the safety of the nearby villages and towns.
Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, Bai Feng, and Lu Tianrang were in the same carriage. Besides them, there was also a bald young man, Xiang Yang, who ranked fourth in the Tianjiao Camp.
Neither Fang Yuan nor Lin Jing were very talkative. Bai Feng was originally talkative, but after three days of intense battles, he fell asleep as soon as he got on the carriage. He was so tired that he didn't even have the energy to flatter Fang Yuan.
Most of the time on the way, it was Lu Tianrang and Xiang Yang chatting.
"I heard that in the neighboring Jiarui Prefecture, there have been frequent natural disasters in recent months. Most of the common people have become homeless victims. I'm afraid this is also the reason why the demons in the Henglin Mountains can't hold back..."
"In such a world, of course they want to get involved and get a share of the spoils." Lu Tianrang said. He was dressed in white, holding a folding fan and shaking it, still looking as showy as ever. But he quickly changed the subject.
"But I believe in the imperial court. They will definitely be able to properly resettle those victims. Whether it's natural disasters or man - made disasters, they can all be overcome."
Fang Yuan listened silently. Was Jiarui Prefecture in great trouble? You know, there were far more sins in troubled times than in peaceful times. He might go there to take a look in the future...
"Of course." Xiang Yang, sitting opposite, nodded in agreement with Lu Tianrang's words. "But to be honest, compared with other prefectures, our Jianghai Prefecture is really the best. Under the leadership of Lord Marquis Chongwu, our Jianghai Prefecture is thriving, and the common people are living and working in peace and contentment..."
However, upon hearing this, Lin Jing couldn't help but sneer. There was no way. Her life experience didn't quite match what Xiang Yang had said!
This action was noticed by Xiang Yang. He immediately frowned. "What are you laughing at? Do you dare to disrespect Lord Marquis Chongwu? Are you questioning Lord Marquis Chongwu's ability? Do you think Lord Marquis Chongwu hasn't done a good job?"
Xiang Yang was born and raised in Jianghai Prefecture City. In fact, his home was near Jianghai Palace. Since he was a child, he had always heard people around him praising the reputation of Lord Marquis Chongwu, and everything around him seemed prosperous and peaceful. Therefore, he had become a fanatical admirer of Lord Marquis Chongwu. Xiang Yang couldn't tolerate anyone disrespecting Lord Marquis Chongwu, not even a beautiful girl.
Lin Jing frowned. Before she could speak, Fang Yuan suddenly said coldly, "You're really good at putting labels on people. You just blurt them out, don't you? Say one more word and I'll consider you disrespecting me, and I'll throw you out of the carriage right away!"
Xiang Yang trembled and obediently closed his mouth, falling silent. Even though he ranked fourth... But after some thought, he admitted to himself that he might not be Fang Yuan's opponent. It was better to avoid a fight.
Fang Yuan had really hated this kind of person in his previous life. They were like online keyboard warriors. Clearly, they were just discussing something, but they would immediately put a label on you and then start spraying from the moral high ground. Such jerks should be taught a real lesson in person, and then they would behave themselves.
"Don't quarrel, you two..." Lu Tianrang said. He still maintained his gentle smile, shaking his fan and turning to look at Fang Yuan. "Your name is Fang Yuan, right? We're all comrades. Can't you speak more politely? Why be so aggressive..."
Pfft!!! Before he could finish speaking, a clear and sharp sound suddenly rang out in the carriage. Lu Tianrang's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately covered the lower half of his face. The folding fan that he had been waving vigorously suddenly broke in half in the middle. Along with the fan, his mouth was also torn open! Blood dripped continuously... The elegant young man Lu Tianrang only felt a sharp pain in his mouth. He didn't even know what had happened to him until he saw Fang Yuan turn to look at him.
Fang Yuan's eyes were calm, but his voice was extremely cold. "If you speak again, it won't just be your mouth bleeding. Just because we're comrades, you can still breathe and listen to me teach you a lesson right now. Understand?"
It was clearly Xiang Yang who had provoked first, but this bastard was actually blaming him instead! He said Fang Yuan was being impolite. Was Xiang Yang being polite when he spoke to Lin Jing? Pretending to be fair, but actually being biased secretly. This kind of person was even more hateful than Xiang Yang, that keyboard warrior who put labels on people.
With Fang Yuan's words, Lu Tianrang realized at this moment that it was Fang Yuan who had attacked him, breaking his fan and tearing his mouth! But when? He didn't notice at all! Fang Yuan didn't make any attacking movements at all, and he didn't see anything flying towards him to hurt him! What the hell was going on?!! His heart was filled with extreme shock and uncertainty. The fear in his heart made Lu Tianrang also become quiet. He silently took out the healing pills he carried with him, took them, and began to bandage the wound.
"I asked you if you understand?" However, Fang Yuan's voice sounded again, like the whisper of a devil. Lu Tianrang's heart was pounding wildly, and his whole body was shaking. He forced himself to speak through the torn wound and managed to squeeze out three words.
"Understood..." Only then did Fang Yuan withdraw his gaze, and he glanced at Xiang Yang by the way. After seeing Lu Tianrang's fate, Xiang Yang was as obedient as a good - behaved child in kindergarten, sitting upright with his hands on his knees, not daring to say another word.
