NFBE Chapter 328 Rescue the Old Fox King
Chapter 328 Rescue the Old Fox King
Blackrock Mine.
This is a mine north of Houguling.
Belongs to the outer branch of the Langya Mountains.
The Black Stone Mine is not big and you can see the end from the side of the mountain.
Prince Tiger led the way, and the four legendary mid-level commanders surrounded him, looking around with full vigilance.
The closer they got to the Black Rock Mine, the more nervous they became.
Chen Xian, who had previously used his soul to investigate and discovered the three thousand Mad Lion Army, was now following behind slowly with Lucy.
If this wasn't a mining area, there wouldn't be anything to see except bare ore.
The two of them looked like they were on a trip.
Lucy was originally very worried about the safety of Old Fox, but after entering the Black Stone Mine.
Chen Xian quietly told her that he had discovered Old Fox's whereabouts and they were safe for the time being.
This dispelled Lucy's worries.
But smart Lucy didn't ask why she didn't tell Tiger and the others.
From the beginning to the end, she had no good impression of the lion clan. They were just a group of bad guys who only knew how to bully the weak.
When Lucy saw Chen Xian's mouth corners slightly upturned from time to time, she knew that he must be trying to trick someone again.
She also wanted to see how the second prince of the Lion Clan was tricked by Chen Xian.
The small mining area took the commanders almost an incense stick of time to carefully explore.
Prince Tiger was left behind by the man with the missing ear to take a photo.
If this is really an ambush set by the eldest prince, then Lyle can take Prince Tiger away from here as soon as possible.
An incense stick of time had passed, and the three investigating commanders still hadn't found the place.
There is a holographic map in his sea of consciousness, and Chen Xian knows very well where Old Fox is imprisoned.
Chen Xian didn't want to waste any more time, so he said to Prince Tiger, "Your Highness, aren't you, the Crazy Lion Legion, being too rigorous in your work? It's already been an incense stick of time."
"With the strength of three mid-level Legendaries, we should be able to explore this place clearly soon."
"But now they are still hanging around the door and haven't gone in yet!"
Chen Xian didn't say it explicitly, but what he meant was that the commander of your Crazy Lion Legion is not capable of doing his job.
Although Tiger was a bit thick-skinned, he understood what was said.
His face turned blue and red.
Lyle on the side couldn't stand it anymore.
As the commander of the Mad Lion Legion, the honor of the legion is his life, and he will never allow it to be tarnished. He glared at Chen Xian and said, "You have never been in the legion, so of course you don't know the marching strategy."
"We've already guessed there must be an ambush here, so of course we have to be careful."
"If we are surrounded by the 3,000 Mad Lions, it will be difficult for us to escape. Your Highness's safety is the most important."
Hearing this, Chen Xian immediately felt happy.
Are you saying that I don’t understand military strategy?
In my previous life on Blue Star, I was the designated successor by the God of War!
The last mission objective has been completed. As long as I return alive, I will be the youngest major general in the empire.
As the captain of the Tianfa team, I personally directed and arranged all the tasks, big and small, over the years.
Some require entering the enemy’s military camps and secret bases.
Every time is full of danger.
At that time, I didn’t have the mutated spiritual consciousness I have now, and was just a Jindan stage cultivator.
The mission completion rate is 100% until death.
You are a monster with a missing ear and a lion head, and you dare to say that I don’t understand the marching strategy?
“Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This is true.”
"But you want to find out whether this knowledge is correct."
Lyle was shocked by what Chen Xian said. After thinking for a while, he realized that the other party had summed up the key points of the war in just eight words.
But he disagreed with Chen Xian's statement. "What you said makes sense, but as long as we have a reasonable suspicion of an ambush, we cannot take risks lightly. Otherwise, we will lose more soldiers in the battle for no reason."
"You're right." Chen Xian praised the other party and then said, "But we're not fighting now. We're here to rescue people."
"You're worried about an ambush, but the Great Prince's target is Prince Tiger, and he's safe outside. If you, a mid-level Legendary commander, go there to gather information and are determined to leave, how can you be kept here?"
Not only Lyle but also Prince Tiger beside him blushed when they heard it.
Doesn’t this clearly mean that these lion people are afraid of death?
How could the lion people, who pride themselves on their courage, tolerate this?
Prince Tiger immediately said, "Brother Shixin is right. Send someone in quickly so that others don't laugh at us."
Lyle snorted at Chen Xian somewhat unconvinced, but still obeyed the Second Prince's order and arranged for a commander to go in.
Chen Xian smiled as he watched Lyle walk away, and ordered his men to go and check out the pit.
Lyle didn't answer and left on his own.
Soon, the commander who had been keeping watch at the intersection in the dense forest was sent in.
It seems that he is the fastest among them.
The Feng Commander turned into a streak of light and quickly ran towards the housing in the mining area.
After exploring around, it was obvious that nothing was found. At this time, Lyle made a gesture to him, and Commander Feng immediately went into the mine.
Several people waited outside for a long time.
The first one to start worrying was Lucy. She had heard Chen Xian ask Commander Crazy Lion to check the mine.
Out of confidence in Chen Xian, Lucy believed that her father was there.
It's just a mine. Judging from the speed of the lookout commander, it shouldn't take that long.
"Brother, could something have happened to our father?"
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Chen Xian immediately gave up his plan to test the Lion Leader.
The entire mine has many mine pits and is in a disorganized state, but the holographic map in Chen Xian's sea of consciousness has already searched this place clearly.
Old Fox was indeed in the mine, alone, without even a guard.
Chen Xian was sure that Old Fox was safe, so he planned to test the strength of the Lion Leader.
Although Prince Tiger is on his side now, there is no guarantee that he will turn against him at any time.
"Don't worry, the old Fox King will be fine. The people who captured him probably just want to hold us back."
"Hold us back?" Lucy was puzzled.
"Brother Shixin, what do you mean?" Prince Tiger was also confused after hearing this.
It was only when Chen Xian discovered that the old fox king was merely imprisoned without even a guard that he understood why the other party had captured him.
It should be to tie down the people in Fox Winery, so that they can take action at the Wolf King Ceremony.
Of course, it is also possible to threaten Fox Winery and gain bargaining chips.
However, the subsequent benefits should be placed after the Wolf King Ceremony.
As long as the Mad Wolf's title as king is destroyed, the wolf clan will inevitably split, and Fox Brewery will no longer be able to obtain the protection of the wolf clan. At that time, Fox Brewery will be like fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of wild beasts.
"Hasn't everyone noticed? This mining area doesn't have any powerful guards. If they wanted to harm the old Fox King, they should have sent experts to guard it."
"But..." Prince Tiger immediately retorted, "It's also possible that the old Fox King isn't imprisoned here at all!"
Lucy nodded involuntarily. Although she hated the second prince of the lion tribe, she also felt that what he said made sense.
Chen Xian smiled without saying anything, just looking at the entrance of the mine in the mining area.
Everyone followed his gaze.
The full moon is like a disk, and the scenery in the mining area is still clearly visible under the silver moonlight.
At the entrance of the mine, Commander Feng came out with an old fox tucked around his waist.
Lucy and the others recognized that it was indeed the old fox king.
But he kept slapping the lion leader, trying to break free.
But those punches and kicks were not even a tickle to the tall lion man.
In just a few breaths, Commander Feng brought the old Fox King in front of everyone.
But the other party didn't let him go. The old fox king was still held by the waist like a child. He beat hard, cursing, "You rude fellow, let me down now."
