Chapter 925: Chapter 237: Beast Cave, Spring God’s Fury
And the gigantic elephant is also the epitome of the third mysterious army of the Daqian Dynasty, the Treasure Elephant Army.
The three armies of Daqian, the Gray Wolf Army, the White Deer Army, and the Treasure Elephant Army. Currently, the Gray Wolf Army is under the command of King Qi Li Siqi, while the White Deer Army is under the influence of Prince Ruyang.
Finally, there’s the Treasure Elephant Army, which is also the most powerful army in Daqian.
The commander of this army is the Daqian Imperial Advisor, the Basiba Living Buddha!
It primarily protects the Capital.
It is said that as long as the Treasure Elephant Army remains for a day, the Great Capital remains peaceful, which shows the significance of the Treasure Elephant Army to Daqian.
These powerful beasts are mostly obtained from within the Dragon Vein.
The area shrouded by the Dragon Vein is also the most mysterious place in Daqian,
When Elder Quan discovered the Beast Cave, he was overjoyed; he once obtained a Beast Control Technique by chance, allowing him to control beasts with flute sounds to attack targets.
Therefore, this Beast Cave also serves as Elder Quan’s breeding ground, with the beasts inside being his bargaining chips to contend with Huangzhou Prefecture.
Of course, Elder Quan does not use the beasts lightly, as they need to maintain their wild state, but occasionally he might throw in a person or two as food for the beasts.
Today, Chen Jie was cast in as food.
Chen Jie, directed by Chu Tian, was carried into a cave with a ton-heavy boulder pressing down, and there were mechanisms on the boulder preventing it from moving.
The boulder with the mechanism likely weighed tens of thousands of pounds.
Chu Tian, upon reaching this location, first opened the mechanism, then teamed up with Zhong Guang to push the boulder away.
Ah…
The two of them finally moved the boulder away, which was so securely installed out of necessity. They had initially only placed a somewhat random hundred-pound boulder at the cave entrance.
Then one night, a ten-meter-long giant python pushed away the boulder and swallowed the two disciples guarding the cave.
In the end, Elder Quan had to kill the giant python, and to prevent another such incident, he had people devise this mechanism and replaced the boulder with a ton-heavy one to seal the cave entrance.
With Chu Tian and Zhong Guang’s combined effort, the boulder was slowly moved away, revealing a deep cave entrance.
Chen Jie stood by the entrance, watching. Elder Quan actually had been observing Chen Jie all the way here.
Only now did he feel that Chen Jiusi was different. Most people in this situation would either desperately beg for mercy or curse in anger, but Chen Jiusi did neither; he remained calm, just watching as the two opened the entrance.
This calmness was quite out of the ordinary.
Elder Quan looked at Chen Jie and said: “Chen Jiusi, you are about to enter the Beast Cave, which is full of danger and ferocity. Aren’t you afraid of being devoured by the beasts?”
Chen Jie listened and looked at Elder Quan, saying: “Afraid!”
“Afraid, yet you do not beg for mercy?”
Elder Quan squinted at Chen Jie, who replied: “Begging, would it make you spare me?”
Elder Quan said: “I have always acted impartially in performing my duty.”
Chen Jie said: “So whether I beg for mercy or not, the outcome is doomed to be tragic. Why bother disgracing myself?”
Elder Quan furrowed his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
Chu Tian glanced at Chen Jie and said: “Haha, consider yourself wise. You’re right, whether you beg or not, your fate today is tragic. Do you know what place this is?”
Chen Jie replied: “Beast Cave, just from the name you can tell it’s a lair of beasts.”
“That’s right, a lair of beasts, hahaha… In here, there are pythons tens of meters long, wild boars as tall as horses, and wolves, tigers. Like you, entering here is just to become food.”
Hearing this, Chen Jie said nothing.
Chu Tian was annoyed seeing that Chen Jie was neither crying nor begging for mercy.
At this moment, Chu Tian leaned into Chen Jie’s ear and said: “Chen Jiusi, rest assured, after your death, your family won’t find peace either.”
Chen Jie looked at Chu Tian upon hearing this.
Chu Tian said: “Haha, Chen Jiusi, I thought you didn’t even care about your family. So now you’re afraid? Beg me, and maybe I’ll spare your family.”
Chen Jie replied, with a cold stare: “You won’t get that chance.”
Chu Tian laughed: “At this point, you’re still being stubborn.”
“Then farewell.”
Chu Tian reached out, and at this time, Han He in the distance wanted to step forward, but Zhong Guang stopped her: “What do you think you’re doing?”
Xia He looked at Zhong Guang and said: “Guardian Zhong, why are you stopping me?”
Zhong Guang said: “You are involved ambiguously with this Chen, I can’t let you get close, in case you try something.”
Han He frowned, but Zhong Guang showed a stubborn stance, and Han He had no choice but to stop.
At that moment, she had no way forward.
Chu Tian moved behind Chen Jie and said: “Chen Jiusi, farewell.”
With that, he kicked Chen Jie directly in the lower back, sending him tumbling into the cave, and at this moment, Han Ling’er, hiding not far away, flicked her finger.
Chen Jie felt a significant energy point on his right shoulder loosen.
Elder Quan noticed Han Ling’er’s action, looked at her once, said nothing, and turned to leave.
He was right to enforce the Zoroastrian Sect’s rules, but his past relationship with Peng Venerable wasn’t fake. Torn between these two, he could only choose to turn a blind eye.
Han Ling’er’s intervention went unnoticed by Chu Tian and Zhong Guang.
They were still guarding against Han He doing something.
