When the six university scholars heard Fang Yun say that a semi-saint might be imprisoned, they felt mixed emotions.
The good news is that a Five Dragon Hall of that level must be hiding a large number of treasures. Just one holy object that can suppress a semi-saint is enough to make any force fight for it.
What worries me is that this is a real dragon prison, a real den of dragons and tigers. If you are not careful, you may be doomed.
"Now that we've entered here, there's no turning back! No matter what's inside the Five Dragon Hall, we must break in! Everyone, who wants to retreat?" Qiu Meng said.
No one spoke, just smiles.
Only Lian Pingchao showed hesitation, but he didn't say anything.
Fang Yun pointed forward and said, "I can now tell that the Five Dragon Hall is in this direction. This is the outer perimeter of the ruins, and we haven't encountered many war statues. If we go deeper into the ruins, once we get close to the Five Dragon Hall and enter the area outside the hall, it will become very dangerous. In the last ten miles leading to the hall, we will face countless war statues. So, everyone should be prepared."
The six university scholars nodded in unison, and then were shocked to find that at the beginning they only asked Fang Yun to find the direction, but now, they found that Fang Yun had replaced Yun Zhaochen and had unknowingly become the leader of the team!
The most terrifying thing is that, except for Lian Pingchao, everyone else thought it was normal before. Even Lian Pingchao instinctively regarded Fang Yun as the leader of the team just now, nodded slightly, and obeyed his orders.
"Let's continue on our journey!" Yun Zhaochen added.
With a direction, the seven people didn't even look for treasures on the road. They rode on the war dragon horses and galloped at the fastest speed on the undulating ruins of the buildings.
Whenever they encountered a war statue on the road, the six grand secretaries no longer fought, but instead bound and trapped it in various ways and then quickly fled.
The war elephants encountered so far all have a sense of territory, and they will not continue to pursue unless the Five Dragons Hall issues an order.
The dragon horse galloped for more than 500 miles, but still did not see the Five Dragon Palace. However, it was in danger.
Without warning, war statues appeared one after another on the ground. They all crawled up from the ground and were previously covered by ruins. They could not be seen from a distance.
A total of two hundred war elephants, equivalent to demon kings, rushed over.
This is a war elephant corps!
Fang Yun glanced around and carefully observed the war statues. He said, "There should be a building here to store the war statues, which is equivalent to a small barracks. The patrol range of these two hundred war statues will be very wide, probably nearly a hundred miles in radius."
"Let's run! No matter what we do, we can't defeat two hundred war elephants."
"There are too many. All we can do is flee and go around them."
"Bad luck!" Lian Pingchao looked at Fang Yun unhappily.
"This war elephant corps includes not only giant shrimps but also giant crabs, and even giant shark war elephants that we have never seen before. It will be difficult for us to win."
No one objected to the escape.
Fang Yun said, "If we use the Holy Page to turn the virtual into the real and form a poem to stop the enemy, can we stop these two hundred war statues?"
"Even if we bypass the war statue, it won't take too much time, right?" Tan Hemu asked.
"Yes!" Fang Yun said seriously, "This place is very close to the Five Dragons Palace. No matter how we go around, we may encounter a large number of war statues. Not only small armies like this, but there may even be large armies of over a thousand or tens of thousands! These war statues are not mainly used to guard against external forces, but to guard against prisoners in the Dragon Prison, so there are a lot of them. In a way, it is our luck to encounter this army of two hundred war statues!"
Fang Yun didn't look at Lian Pingchao, but everyone knew that Fang Yun was refuting him.
"Yun Fang. I think..."
Fang Yun interrupted Lian Pingchao unceremoniously: "Mr. Pingchao, the matter is urgent. For the sake of the seven of us, a decision must be made as soon as possible. You can object, but you must provide sufficient evidence. Otherwise, the seven of us will vote, and the minority must obey the majority."
"You..." Lian Pingchao was unable to produce any evidence and could only utter one word in anger.
Tan Hemu said, "Among us, I am the only one who was trusted by others in a battle and used the holy pages to write a poem to stop the enemy, so I will write it. These war elephants only know brute force. A poem to stop the enemy can at least delay them for half a quarter of an hour, which is enough to increase the distance of dozens of miles."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Tan!" Fang Yun said, and handed Tan Hemu a holy page.
Tan Hemu didn't say much, and immediately began to write a poem to stop the enemy. Sanjing's calligraphy was as powerful as a god, and the words seemed to be alive. Then, the holy page flew up, burning and turning into light. A towering mountain stood in front of him, surrounded by clouds and mist, covering an area of three miles in radius.
The two hundred war elephants had no ability to distinguish and rushed directly into the Poetry Mountain to block the enemy.
At the level of Grand Secretary, the Mountain of Poetry can not only block the enemy, but also confuse them.
Two hundred war elephants were seen circling and climbing in the mountain, but they could not get out.
"Let's go!"
The seven men rode on their war-poetry dragon horses, ignoring the enemy's poetry mountain as if it were nothing, and rushed forward quickly.
After passing through the Enemy-Blocking Poem Mountain, Fang Yun turned his head and looked back, and saw that two hundred war statues were still climbing the mountain tirelessly. It was obvious that war statues of this level were too simple, and even if they had a slight ability to break illusions, they were helpless against the Enemy-Blocking Poems formed by the holy pages.
Fang Yun said: "Mr. Lian Pingchao, this is also considered a meritorious service, and the reward has been increased again. You owe me two thousand kilograms of dragon-patterned rice."
Lian Pingchao gritted his teeth and said, "No problem! As long as we leave this place, I will give you all the dragon-patterned rice! There must be a reward after a punishment!"
The other university scholars sighed softly. Lian Pingchao was just trying to swallow his pride. Even if Lian Pingchao had some dragon-patterned rice in his hands, it would never exceed three thousand kilograms.
After nearly half a quarter of an hour, Tan Hemu said, "The poem that blocked the enemy has been broken, and they are catching up!"
Soon, there was a violent shaking sound from the ground, and then the vibration became stronger and stronger, making loud bangs.
Moreover, some war statues appeared in front of them. Each one was as tall as a five-story building, and there were thirty-four of them in total.
Double team from front and back.
"We must write another poem to stop the enemy!" said Tan Hemu.
Fang Yun handed the second holy page to Tan Hemu, then looked at Lian Pingchao and said with a smile: "Master Lian, this is my third meritorious service!"
"You failed to completely stop the two hundred war elephants and were caught up by them, so it can only be counted as two meritorious services." Lian Pingchao said.
"Are you going to deal with the thirty-four war statues in front?" Fang Yun asked.
"You... I'll consider this your third time of meritorious service!"
"Thank you, Grand Secretary Lian, for the three thousand kilograms of dragon-patterned rice!"
Another mountain of poetry appeared to block the enemy, trapping all the war statues, and everyone escaped safely.
After walking ten miles away, Fang Yun said slowly, "Master Lian, if you don't have any dragon-patterned rice, what will you use to reward me?"
The other five university scholars looked at Lian Pingchao silently. At this time, all five of them should have tried to persuade him, but no one could speak. This could not be blamed on Fang Yun. If anyone had to blame someone, it could only be Lian Pingchao himself.
Lian Pingchao said angrily: "If you don't have the Dragon Pattern Rice, I'll use the Holy Blood Jade. If you don't have the Holy Blood Jade, I'll use the Cultural Treasure. If you don't have the Cultural Treasure, I'll go borrow some! If no one lends, I'll give you Qingyang City!"
"Okay, it's a deal!" Fang Yun said.
