"Whose BOSS was it!" Liu Yuanxiang rushed over, looking at his own War Gods.
Dongfang Canghai also hurried over, anxiously looking at Dongfang Bai. "Bai'er, did you manage to steal the BOSS?"
The War Gods of the Tianchi Guild looked at each other. From the confusion and helplessness on their faces, it seemed it was not them.
Because of the ground eruption, the War Gods were given an excellent damage environment. Kunlun, who previously had no hope at all, and even some A-rank guilds, now had a chance to snatch the BOSS. They all asked their own people, but in the end, no one had received a system notification.
At that moment, Dongfang Bai suddenly snapped his head around and looked at Jiang Kai, who was sitting beside a tree stump, covered in wounds.
"Jiang Kai!"
After using Time Not Yet Come on himself, Jiang Kai was now seriously injured and collapsed beside a toppled giant tree. At this moment, he was sitting up, leaning against the trunk to rest.
The Armor of Regeneration was slowly restoring his condition. He would not die for the time being, but the wounds on his body that had been split open by the King of Hell Token were still bleeding nonstop.
Just then, a small figure crawled out of Jiang Kai's jacket pocket, climbed onto his body, and licked his wounds.
"Huh? Little Bastard?" Jiang Kai's eyes went wide.
Little Bastard quickly finished treating Jiang Kai's wounds, then immediately burrowed back into Jiang Kai's pocket and did not come out again.
"Hiss… weren't you about to die!" Jiang Kai was extremely shocked, but then he thought about it.
At the time, seeing Little Bastard almost die, he had been full of guilt and heartbreak, and completely forgot that this thing had insanely strong healing abilities.
So this guy's "last words" were completely fake!
"Damn it, you lied to me again!" Jiang Kai cursed angrily. "You little bastard!"
He was cursing with his mouth, but in his heart, he was filled with joy. At least Little Bastard was not dead.
Jiang Kai was busy talking to Little Bastard. When he finally looked up, he realized countless pairs of eyes around him were staring at him.
He was not afraid that these people would kick him while he was down and attack him. After all, there were still so many people from other guilds watching.
Xuanwu had pulled the Lord over to the Main God faction. They could say it was to protect their members, and at the time, the scene was chaotic. They only wanted to pull the BOSS away, not expecting to pull it to the Main God side.
The three experts from the three major guilds blocking Jiang Kai from killing the BOSS could also say they were afraid he would disrupt the kill plan. Besides, Jiang Kai had not participated in the hunt from the start.
In short, for other issues, they could all muddle through with various excuses. The BOSS fight was a joint effort by the guilds, and this kind of scheming was inevitable.
But now that the BOSS was already killed, if they attacked Jiang Kai at this moment with so many witnesses present, there would be no way to argue their case.
Jiang Kai was not in a hurry. He looked at Dongfang Bai and smiled faintly. "What? So many people from your Dongfang family, and the BOSS still wasn't yours? My god, that's unbelievable."
"Cut the crap!" Dongfang Bai had no mood to trade words with Jiang Kai. All he wanted to know now was whether Jiang Kai had stolen the BOSS.
"Say it. Did you kill the BOSS or not!"
Jiang Kai adjusted his posture slightly, leaning more comfortably, and looked at Dongfang Bai with a half-smile. "I just won't say it. What can you do to me?"
Dongfang Bai was so angry he almost spat blood. The more anxious he became, the more shameless Jiang Kai acted.
Dongfang Canghai, however, knew better. Seeing that Jiang Kai was deliberately not telling them, he simply turned around and called out to the other factions. "Everyone, who exactly killed the BOSS? We all worked together to kill it, which was no easy task. At the very least, let us know who actually killed the BOSS."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone nearby sneered coldly. "That sounds nice. Working together… how many people did the Rat King kill? If you had taken out the Heavenly Hound Treasure Jade earlier, we would have saved a huge amount of time in the earlier phases. Would so many people have had to die?"
Someone immediately echoed, "Snatching the BOSS in a BOSS fight is fine, but using small and medium guilds as cannon fodder while you farm damage yourselves is just too despicable!"
"If Jiang Kai hadn't blasted the Rat King out, who knows how many more would have died! Not getting the BOSS serves you right!"
After hearing this, Liu Yuanxiang immediately stepped in front of everyone and shouted loudly, "Don't be so double-standard. It's true we wanted to snatch the BOSS, but wasn't the early damage dealt by us?"
"Who's like Jiang Kai, only coming out in the fourth phase. He's the one who truly came just to steal the BOSS!"
"And there's something else you might not know. Jiang Kai has experience soloing King-tier BOSSes. The Great Banyan Demon King of Qingfeng Mountain and the Dragon Python Serpent King were both killed by the Main God and Qingyun Guilds. They only had two hundred people. Think about how terrifying their strength is."
"But this time against the Rat King, how much effort did you see them put in?"
Jiang Kai smiled faintly and stood up. "Guild Leader Liu, what you're saying is really going too far."
"When we arrived at the camp yesterday, you personally told me to just farm some damage and not think about touching the BOSS."
"And when the Rat King entered the fourth phase, you even sent people to block me from killing the BOSS. After I blasted the Rat King out of the ground, Dongfang Bai even slashed at me with a sword. A lot of people saw that, right?"
Jiang Kai let out a cold laugh. "You wouldn't let me intervene, and now you say I didn't participate from the start. No matter how you put it, you're always the one in the right, huh?"
Feng Jun immediately stepped forward and said to everyone, "Kunlun can testify to this. Before the battle, Guild Leader Liu did indeed specifically emphasize that Jiang Kai must be stopped and not allowed to participate in hunting the Rat King."
"Jiang Kai indeed did not take part in the first few phases of the hunt, but you can think about it. If Jiang Kai had acted from the start, he would have immediately encountered obstruction from experts of the three guilds, consuming a large amount of his status and skills."
"Under such circumstances, him not participating throughout the entire hunt should be considered a reasonable decision."
Someone immediately shouted, "Even Kunlun has come out to speak. If I were Jiang Kai, knowing there were experts blocking me, there's no way I'd stupidly act from the very start!"
"BOSS fights allow BOSS stealing. Even if Jiang Kai stole it, he drove the BOSS out and ensured it would definitely be killed. You, on the other hand, resorted to any means just to steal the BOSS. That's truly despicable!"
"What's even more disgusting is that they hid the Heavenly Hound Treasure Jade. They dragged out the first three phases for so long just to farm damage for themselves! Jiang Kai only acted at the end, but he didn't hesitate at all. His goal was simply to kill the BOSS. How is that anything like these three guilds, so underhanded!"
"Exactly. Don't listen to Liu Yuanxiang. What matters isn't what you say, but what you actually did!"
Liu Yuanxiang had originally wanted to smear Jiang Kai, but unexpectedly, so many people stood on Jiang Kai's side this time that he was left speechless.
Hu Yan walked over to Jiang Kai with a smile. "Captain Kai, looks like what Liu Yuanxiang and the others did really stirred up public anger."
Jiang Kai shrugged. "People like that show their true colors sooner or later."
"So was the BOSS killed by you?"
Jiang Kai frowned and said, "No."
"Huh?" Hu Yan's eyes went wide. "Not you? Then, then who was it?"
At the time, there were too many people attacking. With so many attacks going out, even Jiang Kai could not guarantee that his own attack was the final blow that killed the BOSS.
However, with no one at the scene admitting that they killed the BOSS, that became strange.
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, Jiang Kai suddenly felt a disturbance in his jacket pocket.
He hurriedly looked at it and saw Little Bastard hiding in his pocket, pointing at itself with its tiny paw.
"Holy crap, it was you?! No way!" Jiang Kai could not help but cry out.
