Chapter 286 Waiting for Dawn
Chapter 286 Waiting for Dawn
Jing Cangming nodded and frowned as he asked, "So, as long as the people participating on the second day are counted, they must participate?"
Xuan Yanwan's father said, "That's right. As long as you want to be counted, you must show up on that day, and it will be checked when you enter."
"What if it doesn't appear after statistics?" Jing Cangming asked curiously.
Xuan Yanwan's father sighed, "If that's the case, this entire force will be imprisoned, waiting for the one who has not come, and Donghuang will randomly kill one person every day until the one who has not come comes back."
“What?!” Jing Cangming’s eyes widened with anger, “The Emperor of the East doesn’t care about his own people?!”
After saying this, Jing Cangming answered himself. If he really cared about his people, how could he have turned the East Continent into such a state?
Xuan Yanwan said, "Donghuang only cares about his own happiness, he doesn't care about the life and death of others."
Jing Cangming sighed, "I understand. It's almost dawn, old man. You should set off quickly."
Xuan Yanwan looked at her father reluctantly and said, "Yes, father, you should leave quickly, it will be dawn if you leave any later."
Xuan Yanwan's father held Xuan Yanwan's hands. To be honest, they didn't know when they would see each other again after this departure. Naturally, the father and daughter looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
Suddenly, Xuan Yanwan's father looked at Jing Cangming seriously, "Son, thank you for your help. My daughter is willful, and I hope you will bear with her in the future and don't let her be in danger!"
Looking at the old man's expression, Jing Cangming nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, old man, I will protect Xuan Yanwan!"
Xuan Yanwan just had tears in her eyes as she watched her father cry continuously.
Maybe this wasn't the case when I left home, but now, my father is going to a foreign country alone, and I'm really worried.
In fact, all children are like this. For themselves, they are not afraid wherever they go, but when their parents leave, they are always worried about their safety.
"Okay, then I'll leave!" The old man sniffed his nose and turned to leave.
"Dad!" Xuan Yanwan looked at her father's back with twinkling eyes.
The old man didn't look back, but waved his hand, indicating that he was leaving.
In a flash, the old man summoned his own magical beast, which was a flaming eagle. Like other magical beasts, it was not too big, but it was big enough to carry the old man and fly.
A man and an eagle flew towards the sky. For some reason, with the background of the Eastern Continent, it looked like they had escaped from hell.
Xuan Yanwan burst into tears, and Jing Cangming didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only pat her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we will meet again one day."
After saying that, he no longer cared about Xuan Yanwan, leaving her squatting on the ground crying.
As for myself, I walked towards the group of people, because there was really no time left. The sky had already started to get hazy when the old man left.
Jing Cangming now needs to quickly communicate with these tribesmen to prevent any mistakes in today's battle. After all, Jing Cangming is unwilling to contribute a young girl to a villain like Donghuang.
"Come here, all of you," Jing Cangming walked to the platform, sat down cross-legged, and said to them.
More than 70 people hadn't moved yet. Xiao Yi was immediately unhappy, "You? Are you deaf?"
Xiao Yi's voice was not loud, but his face was gloomy and his eyes were full of coldness.
But who would have known that after Xiao Yi's words, this group of people would swarm over like bees.
Looking at this group of people, each of them acting as cowardly as a mouse, Jing Cangming was extremely angry.
Jing Cangming looked around and sighed, "Hey, I really want to know, how do you survive the battles every day?"
At this time, a woman's voice appeared behind Jing Cangming and answered him, "Because everyone's strength is about the same, the people of other forces are basically at this level."
Jing Cangming turned around and looked at the source of the voice behind him. It was Xuan Yanwan. She was no longer crying at this moment, and she also knew that there was no time to waste.
Jing Cangming asked, "Are you okay?"
Xuan Yanwan forced a smile and said, "Well, it's okay."
Jing Cangming nodded, "Okay, everyone remember this. I will assign tasks to everyone before each match today. If you don't want to die, then do as I say. Do you understand?"
Jing Cangming's words were very plain, but the murderous intent revealed in them was not so gentle.
Everyone nodded immediately upon hearing this, and no one failed to respond.
"Okay, let's all rest here. It probably won't be long before Donghuang sends someone to ascend the throne," Jing Cangming said and waved his hand.
Then he ignored them, turned around, and looked at the beautiful woman standing in front of him, "Can I summon a contracted beast during battle?"
Jing Cangming did look around all day yesterday, but he really didn't see any contracted beast appear, so he still wanted to confirm it.
Xuan Yanwan shook his head, then squatted in front of Jing Cangming and said, "Okay, but generally no one is willing to summon."
Jing Cangming was puzzled when he heard this, "Why is that? If we summon the contracted beast, wouldn't that increase our chances of winning the battle?"
Xuan Yanwan continued to shake his head, "If your contracted beast is favored by the East Emperor, what do you think the result will be?"
Hearing this, Jing Cangming took a breath and said, "He will die."
"Yes, so no one is willing to summon the contracted beast, and Donghuang did not force anything in this regard," Xuan Yanwan said, looking into Jing Cangming's eyes.
"Okay, I actually spent a whole day at the Colosseum yesterday, and I found that the forces with similar strength to ours don't seem to be very strong," Jing Cangming said.
Xuan Yanwan smiled bitterly, "That's because you are so powerful. You have seen how difficult our battle is. Among the forces at the same level as us, there are almost always three or four people over level seventy. Although none of them exceed seventy-five, for Molten Fire, that is simply devastating."
Jing Cangming nodded. Indeed, from his observations yesterday, their strength was just like that.
Xuan Yanwan continued, "However, now you are the head of the family, and your strength is at the same level as the previous head of the family, so our opponent will not change, it will be the same as yesterday, but your level is very high, so our chances of winning will be greater."
Jing Cangming smiled and said, "What we want is victory, not just today's victory, but every day's victory in the future will be Molten Fire's!"
Seeing Jing Cangming speaking so confidently, Xuan Yanwan did not have a single doubt in her heart. She believed that what Jing Cangming said would definitely come true, as if he had some kind of magic power.
In the blink of an eye, the sky began to brighten.
Xuan Yanwan and Jing Cangming sat on the platform, looking at the sun rising in the west, letting it shine on their faces.
"I don't know where my father is," Xuan Yanwan said, looking in the direction his father left.
In fact, his father was heading west because he was going to the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Jing Cangming comforted Xuan Yanwan, "Don't worry, with the speed of the Furious Eagle, it has probably entered the Eastern Wilderness by now."
Hearing this, Xuan Yanwan was a little stunned, and turned to look at Jing Cangming, "Do you know the Angry Eagle?"
Jing Cangming asked, "Is this a secret?"
Xuan Yanwan waved his hands quickly and said, “No, no, this kind of ferocious beast is very rare in the East Continent, so I was a little surprised that you recognized it so soon after you arrived.”
Jing Cangming smiled and said, "I don't know it, but didn't it cry out when it came out? I matched the language of all animals and then I knew what its name was."
Xuan Yanwan was even more stunned by this. "Ah? Have you ever studied the beast language of the Flame Eagle clan?"
Jing Cangming smiled meaningfully and said, "I have learned the language of beasts of every race."
After saying that, Xuan Yanwan was left sitting there in a daze, while he jumped off the stage and stretched his body.
Xuan Yanwan stared at the boy in front of him dumbly. What kind of talent is this? The language of all beasts, even a genius can't learn all of them at this age! The key point is all of them!!!
The young man in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious, but at the same time, a seed was planted in Xuan Yanwan's heart, and she didn't know when this seed would sprout.
Jing Cangming moved around and looked around, trying to find Xiaoyi, but he couldn't find him after searching for a long time.
"Xiao Yi?" Jing Cangming called out.
"Hey! Boss!" Xiao Yi ran out of a room at this moment, eating something in his mouth.
He ran to Jing Cangming and said, "Boss, do you want to eat it?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yi handed the thing in his hand to Jing Cangming.
Jing Cangming looked at this thing carefully. It didn't look like meat at all. How could Xiaoyi, who loved meat so much, eat grass?
"What is this?" Jing Cangming asked in confusion.
"Oh? This is the Fiery Grass. Eating it can increase the purity of the flame in the body," Xiao Yi said vaguely.
Jing Cangming frowned and said, "You are a magma type, will this help you?"
Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "It's useless, but this grass smells really good!"
Having said that, Xiao Yi unceremoniously stuffed a handful of food into Jing Cangming's arms, and then rushed into the room again.
A giggle came from behind Jing Cangming. Jing Cangming turned around awkwardly and looked at Xuan Yanwan on the stage who was covering her mouth and laughing.
"Come down," Jing Cangming said.
Xuan Yanwan stopped laughing when he heard that. He stood up and jumped down. "What's the matter?"
Jing Cangming stuffed all the Fiery Grass in his hand to Xuan Yanwan, "Here, eat it!"
Xuan Yanwan was stunned. "Really? Such a precious thing?"
