Chapter 404: Handsome Supervisor fiercely flirts 27

The guard following behind them was suddenly tackled by a person who sprang out from the grass.

That person possessed immense strength, hair disheveled and face filthy, his eyes completely bloodshot.

He was nothing like a normal person.

The guard tried to shove him away and strike back, but his neck was suddenly bitten hard, and a chunk of flesh was torn right off.

"Ahhh—"

He let out a miserable scream, feeling a piercing pain in his neck, and had no strength left to push the person away.

The people ahead heard the sound, turned around, and saw the guard's neck completely bitten through.

"Who are you!"

The East Depot guards immediately went on alert, blocking in front of Jin Chen and the others, their expressions unprecedentedly stern.

They had never seen such a strange person before.

Perhaps they should no longer be called human.

After the guard was bitten to death, many more strange people ran out from the grass, surrounding Jin Chen and the others; their fingertips were worn raw from their own scraping, their faces ferocious, and with a sharp cry they charged at them.

The horse was startled and began to spin in place.

Jin Chen pressed back the head that wanted to lift in his embrace, his voice extremely gentle.

"Don't look, leave it to me."

Xuan Che moved his head, speaking in a muffled tone, "I want to see what it is."

"A group… of savages."

Jin Chen made a quick assessment, then swung his big sword with one hand.

But the savages kept increasing in number.

Gradually, some guards recognized that among the savages were faces they knew—companions who had trained together at the guard camp.

Qi Yiqiu killed another savage trying to leap onto the horse, shielding Cui Chengping behind him, looking somewhat anxious.

"Your Highness, what should we do now! There are too many!"

At this moment, Jin Chen's attention was not on the savages.

He slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at the mist spreading from not far away.

At this hour, how could there be mist in the mountains and forests?

Wait a moment…

Jin Chen's expression shifted slightly; he led the horse to turn, gazing at the surrounding bamboo grove and terrain layout, as well as the direction the savages had just charged from.

This is a formation!

If they hadn't sent 0731 to hold off the wolf pack earlier, this formation would be a true life-and-death formation.

The mist spread from all directions; Jin Chen could feel it, and within it lurked a strange power.

Obviously, it was a power not belonging to this world.

Its purpose was…

He lowered his gaze, looking at the top of the person in his arms; when he lifted his eyes again, his gaze had become extremely sharp.

"Everyone, retreat to the rear left."

Jin Chen announced the position of the formation's life gate, pointing his sword tip directly at the direction the mist was advancing.

"Your Highness! Come over quickly too!"

Feng Zhu shouted.

"I have a way to deal with them; if you don't leave, you'll only drag me down!"

Jin Chen gave a low shout, allowing no refusal.

Having said that, the others could only obey and leave.

"Your Highness… be careful."

Xuan Che obeyed and stayed still, but his tone was full of worry.

At this moment, the mist had spread to within three meters of Jin Chen, and with each breath there seemed to be a faint smell of damp decay.

Jin Chen held Xuan Che with one arm, his eyes full of killing intent fixed ahead; he sheathed his big sword, and a sword of spiritual power appeared in his palm.

In an instant, a huge black snake burst from the mist, its snout larger than a human head lunging to bite Jin Chen.

The white horse controlled by spiritual power did not flee this time, but carried Jin Chen forward to meet it.

The snake was not real, but a phantom conjured by the formation; ordinary blades could not harm it.

But when the tip of Jin Chen's sword cut the snake's skin, the black snake suffered greatly, emitting continual sharp hisses.

Almost every slash caused black characters to appear all over Jin Chen's body.

This symbolized the formation being broken open.

In the struggle, the mist had completely surrounded Jin Chen and the other person.

The rotting smell also enveloped their breath.

Xuan Che felt a bit uneasy, gripping Jin Chen's collar, but made no sound to disturb him.

Yet every move of his was closely watched by Jin Chen.

As the time spent in the thick mist lengthened, Xuan Che's body temperature seemed to keep dropping.

Jin Chen lost patience; after slaying the third black snake phantom, he rotated his right hand in the air, retrieving his long sword which transformed into a crackling golden light sphere.

A faint spiritual glow rose around him, and he hurled the golden light sphere toward the thickest part of the mist.

At the same time, he turned the horse's head, using its back to shield Xuan Che in his arms.

Boom—

The mist was simply blown apart like that.

The black snake phantom also dissipated.

But the wild man on the ground hadn't vanished; he turned back into an ordinary person's appearance, and because he'd lost limbs in the fight, he lay there a corpse.

Just as luck would have it, the commander and guards who had come to find Jin Chen and the others arrived right then.

What they saw upon arriving was Jin Chen and Xuan Che standing amid a pool of royal guards' blood, Jin Chen's face full of killing intent, as if he were still checking whether these people were truly dead…

"Third Prince… you?"

The commander stared, turned his head to look at the corpses of the guards around him, and asked, "Your Highness, why did you kill them?"

"General Liu! Not good!"

Another group of troops arrived, with Jin Hua Xuan, already simple-minded, carried on horseback.

"The First Prince seems to have been wounded, and his guards are all gone!"

General Liu ordered someone to hurry and send Jin Hua Xuan back to camp; upon seeing the color of the arrow feather stuck in his back, he couldn't believe it and looked at Jin Chen.

"You even wounded the First Prince?"

Jin Chen: "…"

"How did you all come here?"

"The Fifth Prince came running back to camp covered in wounds, saying the mountains and forests are full of wolf packs, so we came to reinforce."

Xuan Che emerged from Jin Chen's embrace, also wearing a speechless expression.

The two exchanged a glance, immediately realizing they had been set up by Jin Changyou.

Suddenly, Xuan Che felt a chill run through his body; the flush on his face faded instantly, and a cold sensation spread from the top of his head to his extremities, as if his blood were freezing.

He began to gasp, gripping Jin Chen's shoulder, "Your Highness…"

He hadn't finished speaking before he fainted.

"Xiao Qi!"

Jin Chen's expression changed drastically; he embraced the fallen person, placed two fingers on their pulse, and furrowed his brow deeply.

The cold poison flared up again!

"Get lost!"

Jin Chen flicked his whip and charged toward the camp.

At the same time, he protected his meridians with Spiritual Power and summoned 0731 in his mind.

【Host!】

0731 returned to the sea of consciousness and immediately noticed that Xuan Che had fainted.

【Has the shop not recovered yet?】

Jin Chen now felt that his wife's cold poison also came from that so-called other system consciousness, and could only be cured with medicine from the shop.

【Not yet…】 0731's tone was urgent; it also didn't know why this recovery was taking so long, and Bai Ze the elder had not replied.

【I'm going to the Quick Transmigration Bureau to find an antidote, Host, wait for me!】

As soon as the words fell, its tiny body had already leapt onto the teleportation platform.

Jin Chen returned to camp, then dashed toward the prince's tent holding Xuan Che, his expression icy and urgent, so that the nearby soldiers dared not say anything.
