Ape Demon Hou was startled and said, "The Comet Corridor is open. Please go to the top of the mountain immediately. Don't be late."

Fang Yun nodded and said, "Since we don't have much time, I won't bother you with this matter. Let's solve it in the Comet Gallery. Let's go back to the residence and go with my friend."

The Ape Demon Hou said, "There are apes from my tribe in your residence. I'm afraid they have already led your friends to the top of the mountain. We'd better go directly to the top of the mountain."

"Okay." Fang Yun said.

As the Ape Demon Lord walked, he took out a whistle and blew it. Fang Yun could not hear any sound, but a moment later a gray-feathered eagle demon commander flew over, slowly descended, and stretched out his claws over the two men's heads.

"The mountain roads here are all winding, and climbing is very slow. It will be faster using the Eagle Demon." Ape Demon Hou said, reaching out to grab the Eagle Demon General's claws.

"Okay." Fang Yun also reached out and grabbed it tightly.

The Eagle Demon Commander's blood surged throughout his body, and then he used the power of his blood to protect Fang Yun and flew to the top of the mountain at an extremely fast speed, even faster than the scholar's fast pace.

When they rose to a high altitude, Fang Yun looked down and saw that the scholars were running towards the top of the mountain under the leadership of the monsters. Four monster generals, including Niu Shan, were also there.

After a while, the Eagle Demon General flew to the top of the mountain and slowly descended.

At this time, a large number of monsters had gathered on the top of the mountain. Monsters kept flying to the top of the mountain grabbing the eagle monster's claws. The atmosphere on the entire mountaintop was extremely solemn.

Fang Yun released the eagle claws, landed steadily on the ground, and looked forward.

The end of the thousands of miles of starlight is just in front of us. From a close distance, it looks like a curtain of broken starlight falling from the sky, which is magnificent.

Many demons and barbarians will quickly enter.

Ape Demon Hou said: "Walk into the light curtain and you will enter the vestibule of the Comet Corridor."

Fang Yun nodded and looked around. The candidates had not come up yet, so he said, "I'll wait for the others."

After a while, the candidates had not arrived yet, so Yuan Yaohou said, "Why don't you go in first?"

"No rush. Oh, by the way, why can other scholars also enter the Comet Corridor?" Fang Yun was referring to Kong Delun and others.

"The Kong family is different from ordinary humans. They are treated very highly in many places."

"So that's how it is." Fang Yun said.

Seeing that all the demon generals were about to enter the Comet Corridor, everyone rushed up the mountain. Fang Yun walked over quickly and looked at Han Shoulu.

Han Shoulu's right leg was not flexible enough, but he could still run fast under the power of running poetry. However, his face was paler than usual, as if he had lost too much blood.

Fang Yun said to Han Shoulu, "Brother Han, how is your wound? I have a wheelchair here. Niu Shan, you push Brother Han." Then he took out the wheelchair.

Han Shoulu hesitated for a moment, then sat on it and said, "Thank you, Brother Fang. I have used the Dipsacus as a needle to connect the wound, but it will take some time to fully recover."

"But was it done by the barbarian Long Ling?" Fang Yun asked.

Han Shoulu nodded.

Li Fanming said angrily: "The barbarians are really going too far. If it weren't for those demon soldiers stopping us, we would have fought a big battle with them long ago."

Han Shoulu sighed and said, "Forget about this matter. Long Ling is really too strong. I found out later that he is actually a genius on par with the Dragon Saint Dou Ji and the Eagle Saint Ying Yan."

"He came to find me. You were injured on my behalf, and this matter will not be let go like this!" Fang Yun's voice was loud and clear.

"Brother Fang, I'm not looking down on you. Although the Comet Corridor is the same as the Ocean of Learning, even if it's not a battle poem, you can turn your talent into reality. But after all, you can't use literary treasures and other things, and the monsters and barbarians have a great advantage. What's more, the Comet Corridor was originally a test for the monsters, and it would be extremely difficult for us humans to get through it. If we can enter the Comet Corridor, we can go one step further. There's no need to fight the monsters and barbarians when we are at a disadvantage." Han Shoulu said.

Fang Yun said: "You take good care of your injuries, and leave the things inside to me. No one can hurt my friends without paying the price!"

Li Fanming said: "All the demons are the same, even the Saint is extremely arrogant. The Wolf Saint doesn't even know whether the Mist Butterfly recognizes its master, but he wants to take your Mist Butterfly away. This Long Ling is even more arrogant, saying that even if the Mist Butterfly recognizes its master, as long as..."

"Brother Fanming!" Han Shoulu said in a low voice.

Li Fanming immediately became unhappy, shut his mouth, and walked away with his head down.

"Oh? What did Long Ling say?" Fang Yun asked.

Weng Ming laughed and said, "The demons and barbarians are all beasts, so they dare to say anything. Long Ling said that even if the Mist Butterfly recognizes him as his master, as long as he refines your blood into a slave, the Mist Butterfly will naturally be his. But to be honest, Long Ling can actually compare with Dou Ji and Ying Yan, we are indeed not his opponents. Brother Yan, what are your chances of winning against Long Ling head-on?"

Yan Yukong sighed helplessly and said, "If I am the Grand Secretary and he is the Monster King and I cannot use the treasure, I have the confidence to defeat him. But I am a scholar and he is a monster general, so I don't even have a 30% chance of winning. After all, the human race is different from the monster race. The later the human race progresses, the stronger it becomes. Under the Grand Secretary, the human race is almost completely defeated by the monster race. Only when the Grand Secretary rises to prominence can the human race confront the monster race head-on. Of course, if you win the first place in the imperial examination, you can rise to prominence early."

Han Shoulu said: "So I am not afraid even if I face the Wolf Barbarian Saint, but the monsters of Longling, Douji and Yingyan are simply beyond our ability to fight. We can only endure it and wait for Chengdaxueshi to compete with us!"

"The entrance is just ahead, everyone be careful."

Everyone came to the Shattered Starlight Curtain and entered carefully.

Fang Yun took a deep breath and entered the star-shattered curtain. Everything in front of his eyes was pitch black. Then he felt a tremendous force enveloping him and rushing forward. After a while, a little starlight appeared in front of him, and then the starlight became bigger and bigger. It turned out to be a bright exit.

The bright light from the exit became more and more dazzling. Fang Yun squinted his eyes and was pushed out of the exit by an invisible force.

Fang Yun stood firm and found himself standing on a square with a radius of a thousand feet. The ground was made of hard black stone slabs with many silver starlight on them. There were a large number of monsters and the scholars who came with them around him. Outside the square there was no ground, only a starry sky.

Fang Yun looked around and was sure that the square was suspended in outer space.

The stars seen from here are twice as big as those in the First Star City, and the largest star among them has become a little sun.

Waves of majestic star power came from the sky, and everyone felt exceptionally comfortable. Some monsters even sat down on the spot, using their qi and blood to guide the star power.

"Have you noticed that there seems to be the aura of Wenquxing here, but Wenquxing cannot be seen from here at all." Li Fanming said.

"Indeed, my Wen Palace feels like it is soaking in a hot spring, it is extremely comfortable." Jia Jing'an said.

All the candidates showed an intoxicated look.

While feeling the power of Wenquxing, Fang Yun was observing the monsters and barbarians around him. There were a lot of monsters and barbarians here, from all races, with the beast race being the majority, followed by the bird race, very few aquatic races, and no insect race at all. The individual strength of the insect race was extremely poor, and their intelligence was also very low. They had never produced a semi-saint, so some monsters believed that the insect race was not a monster race, but just a slightly more powerful insect.

The most eye-catching among the monsters was a giant eagle with red flames all over its body. The air within two meters around it was distorted due to overheating. All the monsters stayed away from it. Eagle Flame did not contact other monsters either, standing alone and arrogantly to the side.

There are also three green dragons that are very eye-catching. The three dragons are obviously demon generals, but two of them are one and a half feet long, while the other one is three feet long, close to the demon commander dragon.

The two ordinary dragons both had one horn on their heads, but the big dragon had two horns on its head. At first glance, it looked especially like a blue dragon among the real dragons.

The rest of the monsters and barbarians also had strange shapes. There was an elephant monster as tall as a two-story building, a bull monster with a simple and honest face but cold eyes, a dragon monster with a dragon head and a human body, a snake monster that kept sticking out its tongue, and so on.

Many monsters and barbarians were talking in low voices, turning this place into a noisy vegetable market.

Right in front of the square there is a gate shrouded in mist. On both sides of the gate there are two gray-white stone lions. However, the two stone lions are shaped as they are lying on the ground and sleeping, which do not look like gatekeeper lions at all.

Suddenly, the two stone lions moved slightly, stood up lazily, opened their eyes, and came alive. Everyone stopped talking immediately.

The eyes of the two stone lions were bright silver, and there was no energy or blood in their bodies, making them look more like mechanical beasts.

A lion looked around, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.

The other lion tilted its head and used its claws to comb the stone hair on its head. After combing, it was no different from before, but it grinned with great pride and said, "It starts again. There seem to be a little too many people this time, but it doesn't matter. Well, as usual, this lion king will introduce you to the Comet Gallery."

Fang Yun immediately listened attentively, fearing that he would miss any key points.

The stone lion pointed to the foggy gate and said, "Go in from here and you will reach the first corridor. After you pass the first corridor, there will be the same square for you to rest. This lion king will also be there. Well, this lion king is there in every corridor, don't be surprised. Of course, there is no more after the seventh corridor, where there is only the Star Throne. Every corridor is different. Lord Demon Ancestor is full of bad intentions, so you have to be careful. Hehe, there are traps everywhere. Of course, there are also benefits, great benefits, enough to make this lion king drool." After saying that, he licked the corner of his mouth with his stone tongue, and found that there was no saliva, and showed a look of regret.

Fang Yun smiled slightly. This stone lion is quite interesting.

An irritable tiger demon general growled, "Stop talking nonsense! Tell me when we can go in!"

"Oh?" The stone lion looked at the tiger, his eyes changed, and he stretched out his claws and pointed at the tiger demon, tapping it lightly, "Dare to interrupt this lion king? Die!"

The tiger demon general's body suddenly swelled rapidly, then exploded with a bang, and tiny pieces of flesh and blood fell like rain. The surrounding demons and beasts all moved away with expressions of disgust.

Many demons sneered, treating the dead tiger demon as a fool and not caring about him at all.

The stone lion smiled again and said, "In short, you just have to keep moving forward. But I don't look down on you. It's good enough if half of you can walk through the first corridor! With each corridor you pass, the star power will become stronger, so the further you go, the more benefits you will get. By the way, remember to fight for the Star King. Once you become the Star King, all the monsters and barbarians in the corridor will be at your mercy. I remember there was a very vicious barbarian who killed all the monsters and barbarians in the corridor. Hehe, I really want to see it again."

The stone lion said it lightly, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They didn't expect that the Comet Corridor was so dangerous. (To be continued...)
