The youth behind Ruan Chong was wearing sky-blue clothes. He was handsome and had a smile on his face. However, the fluctuation of his psionic force field was stronger than anyone else's.
Bai Xiaowen had also seen this youth's video and knew his identity.
He was the captain of Jiangnan University.
He was a Battle Mage.
He was the king of Jianghai's division.
"Qi Ruifeng …" Geng Chen slowly said the name.
Wang Jin and Geng Chen ignored Ruan Chong. In their eyes, there was only Qi Ruifeng.
Qi Ruifeng nodded slightly. "Long time no see. I can see that you've made great progress. Do your best in the qualifiers in two months. "
Qi Ruifeng didn't make a declaration of victory like Wang Jin or Ruan Chong. He was more used to sitting on the throne and looking down at the various powerhouses below him, accepting challenges from all sides. With a glorious record, he didn't need to make a declaration to prove his strength and status.
Looking past Wang Jin and Geng Chen, Qi Ruifeng's gaze fell on Bai Xiaowen.
"I heard that you're also a Hero." Qi Ruifeng said.
Bai Xiaowen nodded. "That's right."
"It's not easy to become a Hero. However, since you're a Hero, you should have the bearing of a Hero. It's not good to rely on your strength to drive away your teammates and monopolize the boss's treasure chest. "Qi Ruifeng said lightly.
When these words came out, Wang Jin and Geng Chen were stunned. Even the other Awakened university students under the Raindrop Rock looked at Bai Xiaowen in surprise.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.
Li Shuyi was startled. Then, he raised his voice. "What do you mean?"
Qi Ruifeng didn't look at Li Shuyi. Instead, he stared at Bai Xiaowen and said, "A mere level 5 boss's loot is nothing to me. However, Li Cheng and the others are my juniors. I can't just watch them get bullied. "
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to stop the agitated Li Shuyi.
"I don't know if you're deliberately distorting the truth, or if you've been confused by Ruan Chong's one-sided words. Anyway, I want to correct two points … First, the fight against the Blood-Patterned Earth Dragon was completed by my three members and your four members. I wasn't present and only arrived later. Secondly, it was your people who wanted to monopolize the treasure chest first. If I had been a step too late, at least two of my team members would have been forced to leave the great rift valley. "
Qi Ruifeng raised an eyebrow: "Ruan Chong."
Ruan Chong's eyes flickered. He walked forward and said, "Boss Qi, it was that woman who attacked first. We were just passively counterattacking. There's the message of self-defense from the spirit realm as proof. Li Cheng, who was attacked, has already been chased out of the Great Rift Valley by Bai Xiaowen. "
Qi Ruifeng looked at Bai Xiaowen. "What do you have to say now?"
When he said that, Bai Xiaowen was a little curious. He looked at Li Shuyi inquisitively.
Li Shuyi suddenly recalled something. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Li Cheng, that guy … When he was attacking the Blood-Patterned Earth Dragon, he deliberately made a mistake and blocked my attack route. He took a blow from my sword. At that time, I reluctantly withdrew my sword, but it still brushed against him. At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. Maybe we weren't familiar with each other. Now that I think about it, he must have done it on purpose. "
After Li Shuyi finished speaking, the other people under the Dripping Rain Rock were all half-believing and half-doubting.
Because from Ruan Chong's words, the battle message of the spirit realm's rules clearly indicated that Jiangnan University's side was attacked first. It was self-defense.
But Li Shuyi's words were not impossible. Especially for Li Cheng, Ruan Chong, and the others who had been in the university for several years, this kind of "scamming" method was nothing new.
Qi Ruifeng frowned.
Ruan Chong looked angry and said to Li Shuyi, "You … Nonsense!"
Bai Xiaowen's brain turned very quickly, and he suddenly laughed.
This kind of laughing routine had been used since ancient times. It attracted the attention of all parties and then threw out one's own argument, which could have the effect of gaining the upper hand by a show of strength. If someone cooperated and said, "Why are you laughing, Your Excellency?", it would be perfect.
Unfortunately, Han Xu was a blockhead, and Li Shuyi was angry, so no one cooperated.
After Bai Xiaowen laughed, everyone's eyes focused on him. Although he didn't cooperate, his goal was achieved.
Under everyone's gaze, Bai Xiaowen said to Ruan Chong, "I'll ask you a few questions. Do you dare to answer?"
Ruan Chong was actually quite guilty, but in front of Qi Ruifeng, he could only brace himself and say, "It depends on what you ask. If it involves my privacy, I can't guarantee that I will answer."
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your privacy." Bai Xiaowen smiled confidently. "First question. Did you see with your own eyes that our Li Shuyi stabbed your Li Cheng?"
"Yes." Ruan Chong made up his mind.
"Second question. Did the boss fall at that time?"
Ruan Chong said, "It's low on health, but it hasn't fallen yet."
"Third question. After Li Shuyi stabbed Li Cheng, did he continue to attack Li Cheng?"
"… No."
"Last question. Did the fight between you two break out before or after the treasure chest opened?"
Ruan Chong seemed to realize something. His lips trembled, but he didn't say anything.
"Actually, these questions can be clearly seen in the battle records under the rules of the spiritual realm." Bai Xiaowen gestured to Li Shuyi to share the battle records. He said, "Look at this. Li Shuyi received 1532 power points. Two minutes later, he was suddenly attacked by Li Cheng and received 32 points of physical damage. "
"Then, let me reconstruct the scene at that time …"
Bai Xiaowen enunciated each word clearly, "When we were fighting the boss, Li Shuyi stabbed Li Cheng with her sword. However, she didn't continue to attack Li Cheng. The two sides continued to fight side by side and killed the boss. In other words, both sides thought that this was an accidental injury. Otherwise, the fight between the two sides should have broken out immediately. "
"After that, both sides opened the treasure chest together and divided the 5000 power points from the boss' treasure chest. Then, they drew the loot card. It took two minutes."
Bai Xiaowen smiled sarcastically. "After the loot appeared, according to the rules, they should have entered the bidding mode. However, Jiangnan University wasn't willing to give up and launched a surprise attack on Li Shuyi and Ding Cheng at the same time … "
"In conclusion, I can conclude that Li Cheng purposely pretended to make a mistake when fighting the Boss and took a hit from our Li Shuyi. He wanted to use the rules of the Spirit World to obtain a 30-minute notification of legitimate self-defense so that it would be easier for him to act later. In other words, Li Cheng was already planning a sneak attack and backstabbing when fighting the boss … What do you think? Qi Ruifeng! "
Bai Xiaowen's explanation was very clear.
In fact, they only needed to grasp one point. Why did Li Cheng only launch a "counterattack" after opening the treasure chest and drawing the loot card several minutes after being attacked? Why didn't he counterattack on the spot? It was easy to figure out who was the one who stabbed him in the back.
This time, the awakened ones from the other universities looked at Qi Ruifeng and Ruan Chong with a strange look.
No matter where it was, the act of stabbing an ally in the back was despicable.
The law and the Awakened Convention couldn't bind the spiritual realm, nor could it bind this kind of special treasure space. However, this didn't mean that betrayal had no price. This price came from the moral pressure and the collapse of one's reputation.
"Jiangnan University is really a veteran team. This trick is really good."
"Why do you have to bully a freshman?"
"Didn't you notice? The level 5 boss's psionic points is 5000. Seven people killed it, but the junior alone got 1500 + points. That's more than 30% of the kill contribution! Li Cheng's group of four must be anxious. "
"Hey, if the four of them really went all out, would their contribution be lower than a freshman? Li Cheng is also a member of Jiangnan University's school team! Do you think Li Cheng and the others hid their big moves and didn't put in effort when fighting the boss, saving their strength to trick their allies? "
"Boss Qi, I …"
Ruan Chong was dumbfounded. He opened his mouth and wanted to save the situation, but he didn't know what to say.
Qi Ruifeng shook his head. "Still here to make a fool of yourself? Get lost."
Under Qi Ruifeng's gaze, Ruan Chong could only lower his head and dejectedly leave the Raindrop Cliff.
"This matter was my oversight," Qi Ruifeng said slowly. "When we return, I will definitely punish Li Cheng, Ruan Chong, and the others."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. Qi Ruifeng's decisiveness in drawing a clear line with Ruan Chong was a bit unexpected. However, this was also Qi Ruifeng's strength. He had a sense of rationality that bordered on ruthlessness.
"It's up to you whether to punish them or not. Next time, I hope Senior Qi Ruifeng will be more careful. Don't come up with such a big label." Bai Xiaowen said. He was very unhappy with Qi Ruifeng's attitude at the beginning.
Qi Ruifeng snorted. Bai Xiaowen's words had thorns in them. They were very unpleasant to hear.
Wang Jin said, "What Li Cheng and the others did wasn't right, but Qi Ruifeng was probably just deceived by his subordinates. He didn't do it on purpose."
"Yeah, this place is close to the King of Eagle's territory. Try not to cause any disputes so as not to attract the King of Eagle's attention." Geng Chen also advised.
The topic of conflict was diverted. Everyone's topic returned to the Golden King of Eagle and the Dragon-Blooded Tea Tree.
"By the way, when will the King of Eagle leave the nest?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Wang Jin said, "Based on previous years' experience, the King of Eagle's foraging cycle is three to five days. We just arrived and don't know how many days ago it went out to forage, so we can only wait. "
This could only depend on luck. If they were lucky, they could leave the nest today or tomorrow and try to pick the Dragon-Blooded Tea Tree's treasure leaf. But if the King of Eagle had just eaten its fill, then they would have to wait three to five days.
Geng Chen said, "It's too much of a waste of time for so many people to wait here. In the past, we always left one or two people to keep an eye on it while the others went to other areas to explore. Let's do the same this time. We'll leave some people to keep an eye on it and give them some points. "
This proposal was unanimously approved by the other university students.
After some discussion, three Level-3 awakened ones stayed behind to keep an eye on the King of Eagle. When the King of Eagle left the nest, they would ignite a smoke signal.
As compensation, the three Awakened each received 1,500 Psionic Points. They were relatively weak. Even if they went to other areas to explore, they wouldn't be able to get many points. Staying here, however, would ensure a steady harvest.
Over the next two days, Bai Xiaowen, Han Xu, and Li Shuyi entered Dragonbone Wasteland again. They hunted pseudodragons and drakes in the border area.
Although they didn't encounter a commander monster like the Blood-Traced Drake, the three of them encountered many elite monsters. The points, combat experience, and proficiency gained were still very abundant.
Bai Xiaowen's Black Spirit Stone was also growing.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Bai Xiaowen and the others had just killed a two-headed drake. While they were still resting, they saw thick smoke rising into the sky from the direction of the Raindrop Cliff.
"The King of Eagle might have left the nest. Let's go."
The three of them weren't far from the Raindrop Cliff to begin with. At full speed, they arrived in about an hour.
The three Level-3 hunters with standard professions were dutifully adding wolf dung to the fire to maintain the smoke column.
In the sky above the Broken Dragon Cliff in the distance, eagle cries resounded through the clear sky. A huge white raptor with a wingspan of seven or eight meters circled around the reddish-brown rock wall of the Broken Dragon Cliff. This was the King of Eagle patrolling its territory before leaving the nest, warning outsiders not to invade.
Even from a distance, Bai Xiaowen could still feel the King of Eagle's powerful pressure. Compared to the Mammoth Lord, this Golden-Crowned White Eagle was more aggressive.
Whoosh!
Finally, after circling a few times, the King of Eagle flew into the distance. Its speed was extremely fast. Soon, it turned into a small black dot and disappeared.
"Let's go!"
Not only Bai Xiaowen and the others, but also the other awakened ones from the major universities who arrived one after another, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They set off towards the Broken Dragon Cliff!
The reddish-brown rock wall of the Broken Dragon Cliff was almost vertical to the ground, making it difficult to climb. However, after detouring to the side, there were three steep slopes. Although steep, the rugged rock protrusions were enough for the awakened ones to climb.
In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, the awakened ones from the major universities and teams chose different routes when climbing the steep slopes.
At the foot of the mountain, Bai Xiaowen met Qi Ruifeng again.
The two of them weren't fools. They just stared at each other for a moment before passing each other. Fighting at this time would only benefit the others.
Although the King of Eagle had left the nest, the other Golden-Crowned White Eagles still noticed the group climbing the steep slopes. In an instant, a series of cries entered their ears.
The few adult white eagles left in the nest were mostly females, the King of Eagle's spouses.
The King of Eagle's spouses had to guard the nest and didn't come out easily. The ones who took the initiative to pounce on the awakened ones were the young eagles.
