Huaxia players have recently all been paying close attention to the Tianlong Twin Rankings of the Endless Abyss.
After Jiang Kai successfully passed through the third layer of the Endless Abyss, the military quickly formulated new policies.
They provided four Tier-4 divine artifacts to deal with the abnormal states that occur at the Tribulation-level difficulty.
In addition, a group of people who had long disappeared from Ghost Star also suddenly appeared in Huaxia City!
More results finally appeared on the Dragon Rankings.
In just over ten days, apart from Jiang Kai, there were already seventeen people who successfully passed through the first layer of the Endless Abyss.
At the same time, globally, four more countries activated the Endless Abyss, and the global best record was also raised to the second layer of the Endless Abyss.
Someone predicted that perhaps within one or two months, someone might catch up with Jiang Kai's progress.
Huang Tong took a glance at the Tianlong Twin Rankings, and his gaze uncontrollably fell upon the first place of the Heavenly Ranking.
He slightly narrowed his eyes, "That guy is progressing too fast, he absolutely can't be allowed to live any longer!" After saying that, he left the Endless Abyss and returned to the Godslaying Assembly.
After returning to the Assembly, Huang Tong came to Huang Jianguo's office.
"President, still no news about Jiang Kai?" Huang Tong walked in front of Huang Jianguo's desk.
Huang Jianguo raised his head from the pile of documents, sat up straight after seeing Huang Tong, "What's the rush? Evil Fire and Tyrant made a move together. Do you think Jiang Kai still has a chance to survive?"
"Just killing him once can't vent the hatred in my heart!" Huang Tong said angrily.
Huang Jianguo smiled faintly, stood up, walked to Huang Tong's side, and patted his shoulder.
"The scariest kind of kill isn't an instant kill. The kind of kill I want might last several months, or maybe several years, or maybe—I won't kill him at all!"
"I've already told Evil Fire and Tyrant, after capturing Jiang Kai, to torture him half to death, and when we arrive, we'll play with him slowly!"
"Oh, the final part, if you're interested, I can bring you along."
Huang Tong's eyes widened, "Of course I want to go. Jiang Kai has harmed us so badly, I wish I could peel off his skin and break his bones!"
Huang Jianguo smiled slightly, "That can be arranged! Just don't kill him too quickly."
"The more glorious he is today, the more miserable I want him to be in the future! This is the consequence of offending the Huang family!"
Huang Tong's eyes already began to glimmer, as if he could already see Jiang Kai being tortured beyond recognition and still begging them.
Just imagining that scene made him incredibly excited!
Huang Tong finally had no more resentment. With Evil Fire and Tyrant making a move, Jiang Kai absolutely couldn't escape!
"By the way, one more thing." Huang Jianguo suddenly said, "I heard Jiang Kai's older brother passed the Solo Trial?"
Huang Tong nodded, "That's true, I heard that back then a hundred people from Island Nation wanted to escort him, but he refused."
"So what class is he?"
"Not too sure," Huang Tong said, "He cleared the Solo Trial alone. Judging from the results, it wasn't that outstanding. In terms of points, he was at the bottom. Seems like he just barely made it through."
Huang Jianguo narrowed his eyes slightly, "I heard Jiang Lan had kidney failure before, and Jiang Kai helped him with a human organ transplant. Didn't expect that such a half-dead person could actually pass the Solo Trial…"
"Where is he now? Can we find a chance to…" Huang Jianguo made a throat-slitting gesture.
Huang Tong thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit difficult. He has a two-star War God beside him, it's the former Xuanwu's Jiang Fang, now always following him."
"Also, because he's Jiang Kai's older brother, Jiang Lan has already become a celebrity the moment he arrived on Ghost Star. A lot of people in District 18 know him. If anything happens to him, it will probably cause a sensation."
Huang Jianguo took a deep breath and sighed long, "This guy is a bit troublesome… but judging from his Solo Trial performance, he won't pose a threat to us in the short term."
Huang Tong sneered, "Jiang Kai is definitely a freak. I don't believe their whole Jiang family can be that strong."
Huang Jianguo nodded, "If there's no chance to kill him, let him live for now. But we can't let our guard down either. Go investigate and see if you can find any information. Once the time is right, eliminate the roots completely!"
"Okay, I'll handle this matter."
That day, Huang Tong had people look into Jiang Lan's whereabouts.
Jiang Lan cleared the Solo Trial in just over ten days. However, strangely, he didn't go to the Main God Assembly, and no one from District 18 had seen Jiang Lan.
Back then, the Solo Trial guide from District 18, Xia Tao, said that as soon as Jiang Lan passed the Solo Trial, he left with a master and didn't ride the relay carriage with them.
After a thorough investigation, Huang Tong still couldn't find Jiang Lan's trace.
This person seemed like he never came to Ghost Star at all—he just vanished…
"Weird, he came to Ghost Star but didn't go to the Main God Assembly?" Huang Tong was very surprised after hearing the news.
However, thinking about how Evil Fire and Tyrant were already hunting Jiang Kai, and considering Jiang Lan's current strength, there was no way he could change anything. So he only gave the order to continue searching, without caring too much.
On the 1st, Jiang Kai and Chang Siyao successfully arrived at the Roaming Assembly area 40 kilometers away.
The assembly area was on the top of an unnamed mountain. Because the terrain here was steep, three sides were cliffs, and only one side faced water.
Usually, wild beasts rarely came here, making it an ideal gathering spot.
From the cliffs hundreds of meters high, many ropes hung down. Jiang Kai and Chang Siyao climbed up using the ropes and with some difficulty reached the mountain top.
Just after climbing to the summit, they saw that over a hundred people had already gathered here!
As the others saw Jiang Kai and Chang Siyao climbing up the cliff, someone immediately walked over.
"Welcome to this Roaming Assembly. I am the person in charge of this gathering, Zhong Qiang, Five-Star National Warrior." As Zhong Qiang spoke, his gaze occasionally swept across Chang Siyao.
Jiang Kai turned his head and whispered to Chang Siyao, "This kind of gathering even has someone in charge?"
Chang Siyao glared at him, "The person in charge is the one who has explored the furthest from here!"
Exploring the furthest basically meant being the strongest.
Jiang Kai nodded in understanding, "Makes sense."
Zhong Qiang smiled slightly, "To participate in the assembly, you need to first report your record." After speaking, he smiled and looked at the two.
Chang Siyao said, "Three-star."
Jiang Kai suddenly frowned. When he returned to Huaxia City last time, he thought his card pouch still had lots of space, so he decided to register his record after three months when his big brother participated in the Newbie Trial.
As a result, he didn't leave any record.
Luo Shen and the others didn't ask much, after all, Jiang Kai had just entered the Unknown Zone not long ago.
One didn't ask, and the other didn't register, and now Jiang Kai had no record at all.
"I've only just entered the Unknown Zone and haven't gone to register my record yet," Jiang Kai said truthfully.
Zhong Qiang was momentarily stunned, then smiled and looked at Chang Siyao, "Miss, you brought your boyfriend here to broaden his horizons, didn't you?"
Chang Siyao didn't know how to respond for a moment.
She wasn't very clear about Jiang Kai's situation either, but when she first met him, he hadn't even walked ten kilometers yet—that much was true.
After holding back for a while, Chang Siyao could only say, "He's not my boyfriend."
Zhong Qiang smiled at Jiang Kai and patted his shoulder meaningfully, "So he's not your boyfriend. Then how much did you pay to make such a beautiful girl willing to bring you here?"
Jiang Kai couldn't help but frown. This guy speaks with thorns.
"Forget it, since you've come, just treat it as making an acquaintance. We welcome you all the same," Zhong Qiang said with a laugh before Jiang Kai could respond. "There's nothing much at the assembly. You can freely barter goods. There's also a gambling arena and a life-or-death competition. But the life-or-death competition only has one match, and it starts at night."
"Our Roaming Warriors can be out exploring for months at a time. It's only at these assemblies that we have a chance to relax."
Before leaving, Zhong Qiang specially turned around and said to Chang Siyao, "Miss, if you have any questions, feel free to come find me. Actually, the 40-kilometer assembly isn't that interesting. If you want to go to the 50-kilometer assembly, I can take you there…" As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Kai, "But your friend, I won't be able to bring him."
"Well then, the show is about to start. Especially the life-or-death competition—I'll be on stage myself. It will definitely be worth your while." With that, Zhong Qiang left the two.
Jiang Kai frowned, "Are all Roaming Warriors this arrogant?"
Chang Siyao snapped out of it, "He probably came back here from the 50-kilometer range. His strength is top-notch, so of course he has a sense of superiority."
Although this mountaintop wasn't big, it was divided into three areas.
Barter Area, Gambling Arena, Life-or-Death Competition Zone.
Most people wandered in the Barter Area—some were buying, some negotiating. The Gambling Arena had only one ring set up, but no one was challenging.
"Siyao, what's the Life-or-Death Competition Zone for?" Jiang Kai looked at the sign standing near the cliff on the other side, "We're all Huaxia Roaming Warriors, why are we doing life-or-death competitions?"
Chang Siyao also looked over and said, "I've never been here before either, but I've heard from friends that the Life-or-Death Zone doesn't mean fighting each other to the death."
"Do you see the lake below the cliff?"
Jiang Kai glanced below the cliff—as long as one isn't blind, of course one can see it.
"The Life-or-Death Competition is mainly about contest. At that time, someone will release a strange beast and throw it into the lake. The strange beast will only flee across the water's surface, extremely fast. After three minutes, all contestants will simultaneously compete to catch the beast. Whoever catches it, the person in charge must provide a sufficiently valuable reward."
"There's a water monster in the lake with very powerful strength, and since contestants must fight for treasure on the water's surface, it's inevitable they'll be attacked. The meaning of 'life or death' lies in this desperate struggle for the beast!"
"Because the person in charge can also participate, under normal circumstances, with the leader's strength, winning the treasure in the end is very difficult."
Jiang Kai nodded with partial understanding.
He didn't know what kind of strange beast it was, but at least in the end there would be a "sufficiently valuable" treasure.
