The body of the statue is made of black marble, and on the chest there is a circular carving with a diameter of three meters, which is extremely complex.
The stone statue is in the shape of an upright giant shrimp, with a sharp head and two protruding eyes that can see 360 degrees without blind spots, emitting a bright red light. The giant shrimp war statue not only has two large claws, but also four smaller arms on both sides of its waist, which can be used to attack.
When the five-story-high giant shrimp war statue ran, it was like a miniature earthquake. The ground rumbled and many rubble objects around it shook, with a terrifying sound.
"It's a dragon's war statue! It has the strength of an ordinary demon king. Don't attack other places, just attack their joints. Yun Fang, you retreat to the back and be ready to use protective war poems at any time. You don't need to fight. The rest of you, join me to meet the enemy!"
"Then I'll trouble you all." Fang Yun immediately stepped back and stood behind the six scholars, his eyes fixed on the carvings on the war statue. Ao Huang had said before that the dragon tribe's war statues could only be dealt with head-on by foreign tribes, especially the ancient monsters, which could only be stopped with their lives.
However, the dragon clan has their own way to deal with it. They only need to send the dragon power into the carvings on the chest of the war statue to seal it for ten hours.
Before Leaping the Dragon Gate, Fang Yun was not qualified to use dragon power. Although the Wen Palace Dragon had dragon power, it was difficult to release it and could only be used to protect the Wen Palace. But after Xuehai's dragon boat formed a projection of the Dragon Gate, Fang Yun found that he could mobilize the dragon power of the Wen Palace Dragon. Although the dragon power was sparse and only at the level of a young dragon, it was still real dragon power after all, and it was more than enough to seal the carvings.
Now is not a critical moment. According to the agreement with Yun Zhaochen, Fang Yun does not need to expose his strength. He first summons the Lian Shi assassin, and then summons the White Horse General and the Hanlin War Poetry Soldier step by step.
The six university scholars were very experienced in combat. They first composed a war poem and began to disperse to various places. Then they used the war poem soldiers to slow down the speed of the colossus, and then used the powerful university scholars to attack the war poem, verbal battles and the power of the literary office.
Fang Yun retreated while observing the battle at the Grand Secretary level.
The ten war statues were very strong. They were as tall as a five-story building, and everyone could only look up at them. At first glance, they seemed unreasonably strong. Even a great scholar would be easily crushed into a pulp by the claws.
However, scholars are good at long-range attacks.
Thousands of war poem soldiers were like ants blocking the feet of the war statue, and the war statue instinctively smashed and kicked with its claws, and its movements were as agile as those of normal humans. Often, one strike could kill hundreds of war poem soldiers.
The price of killing soldiers and generals is that their speed is slowed down.
Six shining ancient swords of talent were flying around the war statue. The war statue was very agile, but the ancient swords of talent were only a foot long and faster than Sanming, which was completely beyond the range that the war statue could capture.
Fang Yun smiled slightly. The dragons who made these war statues back then would never have thought that there would be such a power as the lip-sharp sword. Even though there were many kinds of ancient monsters, they could not control objects through the air. At most, they could throw some hard objects, which was completely incomparable to the lip-sharp sword.
The ancient sword of talent aimed at the joints of the war statue and kept attacking, sparks flew and the sounds of collision continued.
As Fang Yun watched, he tried to figure out how the six scholars controlled their swords, and soon discovered some details that he had overlooked before. He secretly memorized them in his mind.
In addition to controlling the swords, the six university scholars also occasionally used war poems, mainly to block and slow down the speed of the war statues. The real main force of attack, in addition to verbal battles, was the literary platform.
Wen Tai is a powerful force formed by the Grand Secretaries, and like a verbal battle, it can continue to grow.
Fang Yun glanced at the six people's writing desks and saw that the writing desks of Yun Zhaochen, Ye Fangge, Tan Hemu and Lian Pingchao were exactly the same. They were all ordinary one-story writing desks, and there was a lifelike ancestral hall on each of them.
This is one of the characteristics of the university scholars in the ancient land of Xuemang. Most of them use the "ancestral hall literary platform" to absorb strength from the strict patriarchal system of the ancient land of Xuemang and turn it into fighting power.
After observation, Fang Yun found that Lian Pingchao was good at using the power of "punishment" in the patriarchal system, such as the power of "evil, rebellion, injustice" or "civil strife".
The platform in his ancestral hall always emits a black airflow that wraps around the joints of the war statue and continuously causes damage.
Yun Zhaochen, Tan Hemu and Ye Fangge mainly use the power related to etiquette in the patriarchal system.
Fang Yun's gaze fell on Yun Zhaochen, and he saw a clear light emanating from outside the literary platform of his ancestral hall, covering a war statue. The war statue could not run at all, but could only walk slowly step by step. Every movement was extremely standard. It was obvious that the "family rules of the ancestral master" were used to order the war statue to do so.
Based on Yun Zhaochen's skills, Ye Fangge used the power of "superiority and inferiority of legitimate and illegitimate sons". Two clear lights were emitted from the literary platform in his ancestral hall, covering the two war statues. No matter how the two war statues struggled, they could not surpass the war statue that Yun Zhaochen had ordered, because they were defined as humble illegitimate sons and could never surpass the noble legitimate sons.
Fang Yun saw this kind of power for the first time and was quite curious. In Shengyuan Continent, due to the strength of the Legalists, the power of this clan system was unprecedentedly weak, and even the people in the Hall of Rites rarely used the power of the clan system.
But in the ancient land of Xuemang, a large number of scholars have lived under the patriarchal system for hundreds of years. Once the university scholars form the ancestral hall's literary platform, their power should not be underestimated.
Fang Yun sighed quietly, the patriarchal system will eventually be replaced by the power of Legalism, and anyone who attempts to block the trend will be crushed by the mighty tide of history.
The ancient land of Xuemang is located in a remote corner, and it can be maintained as long as the passage to the outside world is not opened.
Although the number of war statues exceeds that of the grand secretaries, they can only use their bodies for close combat. Even though each of them has the strength of an ordinary demon king, they are still played around by the six grand secretaries.
After just a hundred breaths, all ten war statues fell to the ground. Their joints were damaged and it would take at least a quarter of an hour to recover.
The seven people gathered together again, then rushed forward quickly, stopped five miles away from the ten war statues, and entered a collapsed palace. They controlled the war poets to search for valuable items while discussing.
Yun Zhaochen said: "The reason why I chose to fight is to familiarize myself with the power of the war statues. As you can see, war statues of this level, even if there are dozens of them, can't do anything to us, but if there are more than a hundred, there will be trouble. However, Dragon City can't be full of war statues, there will only be many at the entrance of the hall or in special places, so next..."
Yun Zhaochen glanced at the six people and said, "We now have two plans. We can charge forward without getting entangled with the war statues and go directly to the Five Dragons Hall. However... we don't have a map, and the blood mist is everywhere. We can only see clearly within a radius of ten miles, and it is easy to get lost. The second plan... Yun Fang, you tell me."
The other five university scholars looked at Fang Yun curiously.
Fang Yun coughed lightly and said, "You all know that I have some knowledge of ancient exploration. Although we can't see the size and shape of the ruins of Dragon City, and we don't know where we are, I know a thing or two about the layout of Dragon City. Based on the layout of the buildings we see, I can infer the general direction of the Five Dragon Hall. Now we see too few buildings, and I need to walk a few dozen miles to be more confident. It would be even better if I can find a landmark building."
