The Dauntless Youths Episode 18 Recap
> The Dauntless Youths Recap
Jiang Wenjuan was transferred to the Prince's camp. Xin Jia waited there painstakingly all day, but still couldn't find E Shun's trace, so he couldn't help but suspect that something unexpected might have happened to him. In fact, Jiang Wenjuan already knew that E Shun had eloped with his sister, and in his view, this was also a brand new and beautiful beginning. So, Jiang Wenjuan told Xin Jia the truth.
Xin Jia felt that even if E Shun was gone, the search for the elixir of immortality still needed to proceed, so he snuck into the palace library under the cover of night. During his exploration, he discovered some relevant scrolls, but at the same time, his whereabouts were keenly noticed by Zhen Nü. Zhen Nü led him to the Black Water Pool, deciding to test his fate.
Afterward, Xin Jia slowly dripped his blood into the Black Water Pool, stating that Qingluan Mountain was exactly the place he was looking for, a place not only containing an age-old mystery but also housing his ancestors' tombs. Jiang Wenjuan was grateful for Zhen Nü's help, and Zhen Nü was willing to help him because she hoped to unravel the mystery of why he was her destined person. After Jiang Wenjuan left, a person dressed in black quietly walked out.
It turned out that Zhen Nü was instructed by someone else to deliberately lead Jiang Wenjuan to Qingluan Mountain. The next day, when the National Teacher learned that Jiang Wenjuan had found clues to Qingluan Mountain, he was immediately enraged. It should be known that although there was the Sugumu (Su Ancient Tomb) there, it was also a terrifying forbidden land, with an unpredictable and perilous environment.
The National Teacher secretly plotted, thinking he might as well create some accidents to seize the opportunity to eliminate Jiang Wenjuan, this great hidden danger. The National Teacher specifically and respectfully requested the Emperor to let the princes go to Qingluan Mountain to explore its secrets, and he even feigned arranging Gu Xi to accompany them, ostensibly to help them successfully leave the mountain.
Kun Wu and his sister, Qing Qing, heard during their escape that the princes were going to Qingluan Mountain. Qing Qing deeply knew that the Sugumu (Su Ancient Tomb) was a place of no return, extremely perilous. Upon hearing this, Kun Wu was very worried. After much thought, he decided to let his sister set off alone first, while he himself would go to Qingluan Mountain to meet up with Jiang Wenjuan. However, Qing Qing insisted on accompanying her brother.
Everyone hurried on their way through the night; the princes were already exhausted and sleepiness set in. Jiang Wenjuan looked around for a suitable camping spot, while the others stayed put to rest for a while. Zhen Nü followed Jiang Wenjuan and Chong Yibiao to find a place to settle. Gu Xi faintly felt the atmosphere was uneasy.
Just as everyone was resting, suddenly, a cloud of tranquilizing smoke quietly arrived and spread, catching everyone off guard, and they all fainted. Jiang Wenjuan finally found a place to set up camp, but at the same time discovered that the forest was filled with miasma, making it daunting. At this moment, Qing Qing and Kun Wu hurried from behind and happened to encounter several black-clad figures attempting to attack the princes.
Kun Wu, quick-witted, quietly dealt with a few of them, but the remaining ones continued to pursue in the direction Jiang Wenjuan had gone. After some exploration, Jiang Wenjuan and his companions finally found the entrance to the Sugumu (Su Ancient Tomb), but also keenly sensed that they were being followed. At this point, there was no turning back; they could only grit their teeth and enter the Sugumu (Su Ancient Tomb) to investigate.
Kun Wu, relying on the markers Xin Jia had secretly left, rushed towards the Sugumu (Su Ancient Tomb). However, Zhen Nü used the mechanisms of the Sugumu (Su Ancient Tomb) to trap Xin Jia, Chong Yibiao, and Jiang Wenjuan into an underground mechanism. Now it remained to be seen if they could overcome the unknown dangers beneath the ground. After the three fell underground, Chong Yibiao faintly heard a terrifying, spine-chilling sound.
In the cavernous cave, the three discovered some soldiers who had died standing, still wearing Kun Wu's military tags. Clearly, these people had become mindless monsters and launched a fierce attack on Jiang Wenjuan and his companions. At this moment, Kun Wu arrived in time and immediately recognized one of them as Uncle Lin. A simple "Uncle Lin" instantly awakened Uncle Lin's consciousness.
It turned out that Kun Wu had been raised by Uncle Lin since childhood, and Uncle Lin had personally taught him the Kun Family array formations. Seeing their young master still alive, the Kun Family soldiers excitedly knelt and bowed in homage.
