Chapter 114: Killing Three Birds with One Stone

Han Xu was falling rapidly, with the wind whistling in his ears.

Wu Ji's punch to attack Han Xu could not hurt him. The reason why he pretended to be knocked away was, first, because Han Xu did not want to expose his strength in front of everyone.

The second and more important reason was that Han Xu found that there was something wrong with this beast tide.

Looking at the cause of the incident, Han Xu used the young purple crystal unicorn lion to plot against Wu Xiuren, which led to the revenge of the adult purple crystal unicorn lion. The adult unicorn lion was already at the peak of the ninth rank, and its intelligence was not much worse than that of humans.

It knew that this mountain range was a hunting ground for humans, and it also knew that the monsters in this mountain range, including itself, were all captive prey of humans. With its own strength, it could not resist the extraordinary strongmen who secretly protected the prince.

So, it decisively launched a beast tide. Although it knew that the consequence of doing so was also death, it might be able to use the human wave tactics to hold back the human extraordinary and give itself a chance to take revenge.

There were no problems until the princes escaped from the mountains, but Han Xu later discovered that there was more than one wave of beasts.

After the adult purple crystal unicorn led the monster army out of the mountains, another wave of beasts followed.

It was just that the interval between the two waves of beasts was too short. The previous wave of monsters had just rushed out of the mountains, and the next wave of monsters followed closely, and then merged into the first wave of beasts. In addition, the extraordinary strong had already fought with the monsters, and the rest of the people were fleeing in panic, so except Han Xu, no one noticed this detail.

When Han Xu flew over in the air, he found that the monsters that rushed out in the front were angry and crazy, while the monsters in the second wave were full of fear, as if they were driven out by someone.

Therefore, Han Xu suspected that someone was planning a beast tide during the spring hunt.

And Han Xu suspected that the one who planned this beast tide was the prince Wu Xiuqi.

There was a reason for suspecting the prince.

At the beginning, the prince arranged Yingying to dance, and then pushed Yingying to Han Xu's side.

On the surface, the prince wanted to use this to lead to the Fifth Prince's opening of Yanchun Pavilion, and reduce his favorability in the heart of Emperor Wu.

But in fact, his most important purpose was to let Yingying assassinate Han Luoling. Regardless of whether Yingying succeeded or not, as long as she took action, she would be killed on the spot.

In addition, the prince also arranged Wang Ran to assassinate Han Xu. Judging from Wang Ran's condition, even if the assassination was successful, he would not live long, and naturally there would be no chance to betray him.

If all of this plan succeeded, the prince would be able to successfully eliminate Han Luoling and get rid of this big worry for the queen.

The subsequent beast tide was arranged for the Fifth Prince.

Every spring hunt, several princes would compete secretly. Even Han Xu could guess that the Fifth Prince wanted to hunt the seventh-grade monster beast to win, and the prince could naturally think of it.

And if you want to hunt the seventh-grade monster beast, you have to go deep into the mountains.

In addition, the prince also knew that each prince had a supernatural god who locked his consciousness, and when he encountered life-threatening situations, the supernatural god would take action.

So, on the one hand, the prince could not do it himself, nor could he arrange his own people to do it.

On the other hand, if he wanted to kill the fifth prince, he had to consider the supernatural strongmen who would protect him.

To meet these two conditions at the same time, nothing is more suitable than the outbreak of a beast tide.

As long as the beast tide breaks out, the fifth prince who went deep into the mountains will definitely not have time to escape, and even if he is lucky enough, he can get rid of the third prince by the way.

Therefore, the prince did not go deep into the mountains from the beginning, so he could be the first to run out of the mountains, because he knew that the beast tide would happen.

As long as the fifth prince died in the beast tide, no one would suspect him.

The prince wanted to use this spring hunt to get rid of Han Luoling, Han Xu, and the fifth prince at once.

Kill three birds with one stone.

Good calculation.

So vicious.

But, what method did the prince use to trigger this beast tide.

Who is helping him?

Han Xu wanted to make sure.

So, he deliberately let Wu Ji knock him away, and then fell off the cliff to avoid the beast tide.

Han Xu reached out and grabbed an ancient pine tree on the cliff to stop falling.

The thick trunk was big enough to accommodate several people. Han Xu put the unconscious Yingying down, then sat down, and extended his consciousness outward.

In Han Xu's mind, it was like a scroll slowly unfolding, and everything around him was extremely clear.

In the mountain range where the monsters lived, there was a faint mist everywhere.

This was not an ordinary mountain fog, and there was no fog in the mountains before.

"It's poisonous fog!"

There were many corpses of monsters in the mountains, all of which had just died.

From the mist, Han Xu felt a sinister power. It was basically certain that it was this diffused poisonous fog that forced the monsters in the mountains out, thus leading to the second wave of beast tides. As for those who failed to escape, they naturally became corpses.

"To be able to release such a strong poisonous fog in such a short time, and do it so secretly, this person must be extraordinary."

"Coincidentally, the Holy General of the Holy Dao Palace, Viper, is an extraordinary person who practices poison skills. Coincidentally, he is in the royal city during this period."

"Is the Holy Dao Palace together with the prince?"

"Maybe, there is also the Dragon King of the East Territory?" Han Xu thought of the first time he saw Viper in Fengxuan Pavilion, he was with the Dragon King's son Long Ye.

And in this spring hunt, Long Ye also acted with the prince.

Just when Han Xu was about to withdraw his consciousness, his face suddenly changed.

He saw the scene where Qin Ling led the Tiance Army soldiers and the extraordinary worshippers to fight against the monsters on the training ground.

Under Qin Ling's leadership, the monsters were defeated.

And farther away, Han Luoling was lying unconscious in the carriage, and Qing'er, Bai Yiyi and Nishang followed closely.

However, behind the carriage was the prince's carriage, and in the prince's carriage was Wu Ji.

"Sister is in danger!"

Han Xu was about to go to Han Luoling, but heard a sinister laugh, accompanied by the hissing sound of a venomous snake.

I saw a dark green venomous snake swimming from the end of the tree trunk.

The venomous snake stood up, and its eyes flashed with human eyes.

Then, the venomous snake actually spoke human words.

"I didn't expect you to be so lucky that you didn't die even after falling off the cliff."

"Who are you?" Han Xu asked, but he was sure in his heart that the snake in front of him was the Saint General Viper.

To be precise, it had the consciousness of the Saint General Viper.

"It doesn't matter who I am. I don't like to let the dead know my name, so as not to say bad things about me in the underworld."

"The beauty at your feet is really beautiful. After killing you, I can enjoy her well. I have worked so hard this time, so I will reward myself."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

After saying that, the venomous snake glowed green, and an extremely sinister breath burst out, attacking Han Xu directly.

Just when Han Xu was about to take action, a sword chant sounded.

A black long sword fell from the sky and pierced the venomous snake with great accuracy.

At the same time, the Saint General Viper, who was hiding in the distance, had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Who is it? How dare you destroy my consciousness?"
