Seven people, three spirit beasts and a broken mechanical tiger slowly walked over, their clothes torn and covered in blood.
"What's wrong?" Fang Yun strode over.
The big rabbit immediately whimpered as if it had seen a relative, as if it was complaining or crying.
Li Fanming limped along, scolding with a smile: "People who don't know would think he is your master!"
The rabbit shrugged its ears and pretended not to hear.
One of them said to the other party, "It's okay. We encountered some monsters and we killed them off. Among them, there was a wolf monster from the Holy Clan that was the most difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the seven of us are not bad either."
"It's good that you're okay. Come and have a rest." Fang Yun said as he supported Li Fanming.
Xun Ye and the other two also came over, and saw Han Shoulu raised his hand, and more than ten thick blankets appeared on the ground. He said, "Lie down and rest first, and tell me what happened."
The seven people thanked him and sat or lay on the blanket one after another.
As soon as Li Fanming sat down, he said, "Fortunately, Brother Yuqing from the Hua family is here. He used the medical book to treat our serious injuries. Otherwise, the Saint Clan wolf demon would never leave."
Everyone looked at Hua Yuqing.
Hua Yuqing was only in his twenties, but he had a mature face, looking like he was in his thirties, and had a very dark complexion. Although he was uninjured, the tiredness in his eyes was far greater than that of everyone else.
Fang Yun said: "Thank you, Doctor Hua."
"Healing others is also healing yourself, so you don't have to be polite, Brother Fang." Hua Yuqing's voice was low.
"Brother Hua, you go and rest first. Niu Shan, take Brother Hua to my place to rest." Fang Yun said.
The barbarian came over immediately and was extremely respectful.
The seven new arrivals were surprised and delighted to see that Fang Yun could actually control the barbarians, which meant that they would be safer in the Holy Ruins.
Xun Ye immediately walked over to support Hua Yuqing. Just as he was about to speak, Niu Shan kicked Xun Ye in the waist. Xun Ye's body tilted and he screamed and fell more than ten feet away.
Niu Shan said angrily: "His Majesty the Moon Emperor asked me to send him here. What are you doing here? Believe it or not, I will chop you to death!" After saying that, he raised the axe.
"You..." As a descendant of a sub-saint family, Xun Ye had never been beaten like this before, let alone by the barbarians whom he looked down upon. But this was the Holy Ruins. He held Wen Bao's writing brush tightly, staring at Niu Shan's big bull eyes. Finally, he snorted coldly, covered his waist and turned away.
The newcomers all realized that the relationship between Fang Yun and Xun Ye had deteriorated.
Li Fanming immediately said: "Brother Hua, you are good at medicine but not good at literary combat, Fang Yun has Yuehua. With the barbarians here, it is safer in the Holy Ruins."
The others remained silent. Li Fanming was blatantly asking Hua Yuqing to choose a side.
Hua Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said in a demonic voice: "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Niu Man."
"Just call me Brother Niu." Niu Shan raised his head proudly and sent Hua Yuqing back to his tent, then he stood outside the tent guarding.
"How did you become His Majesty the Moon Emperor? Did you really join the Barbarian Sect?" Li Fanming asked.
Fang Yun said: "Let's not talk about me first, how many monsters and barbarians have you encountered?"
Li Fanming lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "There are more than eighty demon soldiers and twelve demon generals. There is one demon general from the Saint Clan. You also know that according to their strength, the demon generals from the Saint Clan are actually regarded as demon commanders, which is equivalent to us encountering a Jinshi leading a team. These demon generals and demon soldiers are not ordinary demons. Not only did they grow up in the demon world, but they are also the best among them, otherwise they would never be sent to the Saint Ruins."
"It seems that the demon clan also attaches great importance to this Holy Ruins." Han Shoulu said.
"How many monsters are left?" Fang Yun asked.
The six of them showed a hint of pride. Li Fanming said, "All the demon soldiers are dead. There are only six demon generals left, and the Saint Clan demon general is seriously injured. Fortunately, Yuqing is here. The Saint Clan wolf demon general couldn't figure out how long we could hold out, so he had to leave. Fortunately, he left. If we continued to fight, we would all die from exhaustion of energy, and only the Saint Wolf Demon General would survive."
"Good job!" Jia Jing'an praised.
Fang Yun nodded. These people were all successful candidates who had practiced for many years. They came from semi-saint families and had all kinds of cultural treasures. Even if they met the elites of the demon world, they would not be inferior to them. They were just much worse than the demons of the saint clan. Only the successful candidates ranked in the top ten on Shengxu Road were qualified to compete with the ordinary demons of the saint clan.
"But I feel relieved now that I'm here. In the Holy Ruins, it's rare to see a blood demon attacking a star demon village in a hundred years. Let's take a rest tonight, let Hua Yuqing treat us tomorrow, and then we'll go explore the Holy Ruins together, okay?" Li Fanming was very excited.
The others nodded, obviously not scared by encountering the monsters.
Fang Yun said: "This is the north shore of Dead Lake, but the topography has changed."
Han Shoulu suddenly said, "The most worthwhile places to explore within a hundred miles are the bottom of the Dead Lake, the Ten Mile Canyon, the Netherwater River, and Dragon Cliff. However, new places may appear as the terrain changes. As for Dragon Cliff, you can go there with a large group of people, but you must not go there with a small group of people. It has always been a place that the demons of the demon world must fight for. For blood demons, the remains of the dragon clan are a great tonic, especially the remains of a real dragon, which are no less than the holy blood and holy jade."
Fang Yun suddenly remembered the traces of the demons that the Horned Tiger Demon King had discovered. The direction they were heading was not far from Longya, so he said, "Don't think about Longya for now. As far as I know, a demon team has already gone there."
Li Fanming smiled and said, "If Mo Shan or Sun Naiyong were here, we could go to Longya. One of them has a powerful mechanical beast, and the other has a powerful military book. Even if we can't defeat a large group of monsters, we can still escape. But with just us, forget it. What you and I want is just a chance to hone our skills. As for the biggest secret in the Holy Ruins, it's useless to think about it. It's better to settle for the next best thing."
Everyone nodded. Except for a few people, others were simply unable to find out the so-called big secret. Even in the Kong family, there was only one dragon of the Kong family who became the son of the Holy Ruins in the past thousand years.
"Let's go to the bottom of the Dead Lake tomorrow. It's the closest to here. If the terrain changes, maybe the treasures at the bottom of the lake will be turned over to the ground. Hehe." One person laughed.
"I heard that someone once caught a fish in the Dead Lake. Not only did that fish extend his life by twenty years, but he also found a holy jade in the fish's belly. He was extremely lucky. The Dead Lake is not as good as Dragon Cliff, but it is definitely a good place." Li Fanming said.
Everyone was talking and discussing about the Dead Lake. After a long time, some people left and went to bed.
In the end, only Fang Yun, Li Fanming and a sleepy rabbit were left there.
The magical leopard brought by Han Shoulu slowly approached.
Li Fanming said: "Thinking about the previous battle now, although I am afraid, I am also excited. Do you know how we injured the Saint Clan wolf demon general?"
Fang Yun thought for a moment and said, "Except for Jinshi Wenbao, I can't think of any. The Saint Clan Wolf Demon General is very strong and has extremely fast reactions. There is nothing in the war poems handed down by the Jinshi that can hurt it, and the war poems you wrote yourself will certainly not work. The Saint Clan Wolf Demon is very rational. Since it didn't inflict heavy damage on you to establish an advantage at the beginning, it will definitely command from a distance and occasionally use magic."
Li Fanming looked Fang Yun up and down in surprise and said, "You have fought with the Saint Clan's demon generals? How come you talk as if you saw it with your own eyes? How many days have you only been able to talk about military tactics on paper? I'm afraid you haven't read many military books except for the military tactics of the semi-saints."
Fang Yun smiled but said nothing.
Li Fanming said, "Forget it. I'll just assume you've read all the books. Indeed, at the beginning, the Saint Clan wolf monster launched a surprise attack and even seriously injured two people, but was blocked by the mechanical tiger and finally rescued by Hua Yuqing. After its surprise attack failed, it hid far away and gave orders. We knew that we would never leave without hurting it, so we prepared. First, let Brother Liu's battle painting trap the Saint Clan wolf monster for a moment, and then the seven of us will write the latest scholar's battle poem "Arrow in the Stone" together, and all seven arrows hit the target!"
Fang Yun wanted to say something, but when he heard the song "Arrow in the Stone", he smiled.
Li Fanming continued excitedly, "You may not have learned "The Arrow in the Stone" yet? This war poem is really amazing. The line 'not in the stone edge' is simply a stroke of genius, which makes this war poem have a particularly strong penetrating power. In the end, all seven arrows penetrated the Holy Clan Wolf Demon General. Although the Juren war poems are strong, no other war poems can compare in terms of penetrating power."
"He's not dead yet?" Fang Yun said.
"Yes, it avoided the vital point in the end. If it was a Saint Clan monster that was slower to react, it would have definitely died. The author of "The Arrow in the Stone" saved the lives of seven of us. We even talked about it on the way. When he reveals his identity in the future, we will definitely thank him. I guess the author of "The Arrow in the Stone" should be a Juren or Jinshi now."
"Oh? What's the basis?" Fang Yun asked.
"The statement released by the Holy Academy is that a mysterious university scholar changed the poem he wrote when he was a scholar so that the poem could be passed down. But we all know that it was probably to protect the real author. At first, some people suspected that it was you who wrote it."
Fang Yun's expression changed slightly, and his breathing quickened a little, but he quickly calmed down with the help of Wen Dan.
Li Fanming continued, "Later we calculated the time. You had only been a scholar for a short time at that time, so it was impossible. Later we thought that since that person dared to offer "The Arrow in the Stone", he must have been a Juren or Jinshi, and had a certain ability to protect himself. Even if he was discovered by the monsters, he would not be in great danger."
"That makes sense." Fang Yun smiled secretly in his heart.
The two chatted for a while and were about to go to sleep in the tent when the leopard that had come closer suddenly pounced on Fang Yun, opened its bloody mouth, and pointed its sharp teeth at Fang Yun's throat, emitting a biting chill in the moonlight.
Ordinary leopards are already extremely strong and agile, but the spirit leopard is fed with all kinds of exotic food and is no less than the strongest demon soldier. Its speed has far exceeded Fang Yun's reaction limit.
Li Fanming just called out subconsciously, while Fang Yun instinctively protected his neck because he knew that biting the neck was the most adept and terrifying hunting method of wild beasts.
However, the spirit leopard moved too fast and Fang Yun was a step slower.
Just as the spirit leopard was about to pounce on Fang Yun, a huge white shadow rushed over and hit the spirit leopard hard.
The spirit leopard is very powerful, and the spirit rabbit is also extremely powerful.
The leopard lost its balance and was unable to bite Fang Yun, but it suddenly stretched out its left claw, and the tip of its claw with a hint of black light swept across Fang Yun's chin, leaving three wounds.
The blood in the wound quickly turned from red to black.
"Ah!" Niu Shan yelled, threw the battle axe at the spirit leopard, then rushed towards the spirit leopard furiously, his blood boiling and his eyes red.
The spirit leopard dodged hurriedly and was forced to distance itself from Fang Yun. Then it roared angrily, and suddenly a treasure appeared in its mouth. It activated the power of the fast-paced poem and rushed out at an extremely fast speed, leaving an afterimage on the ground.
"Fang Yun!" Li Fanming yelled in extreme grief, and hurriedly supported Fang Yun who was about to fall to the ground. (To be continued...)
