Chapter 341

"Lin"

A large amount of cold air collided with the underground magma rivers, producing vast amounts of fog.

Jiang Li's feet touched the ground, yet still sank into a deep crater.

But he dared not pause for an instant, using the recoil to leap directly to the shore.

Before he could even steady himself—the Sky Phenomena Jungle shattered the underground magma.

Before his form stabilized, waves of fiery wind blades sliced toward him.

No time to think—he dodged instantly, but two bloody gashes remained on his arm.

"..."

Jiang Li suddenly remembered something Lan Si had said.

Previously, Jiang Li had been deeply curious, so he asked.

"Why do the descendants of the Nolande Empire only...?"

Though the question wasn't fully spoken, Lan Si's reply at the time had been incomprehensible to Jiang Li.

At that time, Lan Si had only said two words.

"Trials!"

Jiang Li had felt as if he'd grasped something then.

Before he could react, two Long Juanfengs, swirling with scorching magma, surged toward him.

Jiang Li hastily dodged.

He was furious inside.

Why hadn't Lan Si warned him of such danger beforehand?

As he pondered this, Lan Si's voice came from above.

"Your Highness—I am not like Long Long Lisha, nor the drinkers in your tavern, nor the courtesans!!!"

"Your Highness—you think I don't know what you've endured these years? I was the one who carried you out of the imperial palace!"

"I do not wish to harm you, Your Highness. Only if you survive this trial alive can I teach you certain things; otherwise, you have no future. If you die down here during the trial, I will not hesitate to kill myself and follow you—perhaps that will be the fate of Nolande!"

"By the way, Your Highness may have truly lost your memory. Since ancient times until now, Nolande's royal line has had over a dozen descendants—your father himself had five or six sons alive in his time—but Nolande's former king established a rule!!!"

"That only those of the Nolande royal bloodline who survive the Trials of the Fiery Abyss are qualified to become the new King of Nolande!!!"

"And now, unfortunately, your brother—yes—at least the world believes the current Crown Prince, he has passed the Trials of the Fiery Abyss!! So he has gained the recognition of many!"

"Though you are the legitimate heir with pure royal blood, if you fail the Trials of the Fiery Abyss, even if you enter the inner palace and find those on Long Long Lisha's list, some will still refuse to acknowledge you!"

"At that point, all will be lost—I am left with no choice..."

"Your Highness, you must strive! At the bottom of the ravine, the Five Elements' true qi strike at you intermittently!!"

"There are also less scorching, warm magma currents that temper the bones and sinews—currently, the false Crown Prince only passed the Trials of the Fiery Abyss but lacks the qualification to refine his body; only direct royal bloodline members may use the warm magma to temper their bodies."

"Your Highness—I can only wait for you above!"

"Your Highness—you are Nolande's hope. I hope you never give up!"

After hearing Nolande's words, Jiang Li had no strength left even to curse.

Just after the black whirlwind passed, the ravine bottom suddenly glowed with Jin Guang.

Dozens of golden needles, formed from metal elemental force, stabbed toward Jiang Li.

Jiang Li sucked in a sharp breath—this speed was too fast to dodge, and they came as densely as rain.
