Chapter 528: Sunset

Fang Yun didn't say anything either, but silently wrote down a few sentences from an ancient book.

"Head resting on the Cangyue Mountain, eyes looking at the stars, body lying on the flowing river, tail connected to the majestic pass, left holding the desert, right holding the vast forest. This sentence comes from the ancient book of the demon clan, and was later quoted by Li Daoyuan and Li Sheng to describe the geography of a certain place. In fact, this sentence comes from the ancient demon language, which is the description of the ancient demon ancestors to the Zulong. Influenced by the Zulong, the dragon clan is accustomed to placing the most important divine objects in the "Cangyue position" when arranging buildings."

Fang Yun dipped the brush in ink again and continued writing: "For the dragons of the Qinglong clan, the 'Cangyue position' is the east, and the south, north and west are the 'sand wasteland position', the 'vast forest position' and the 'heroic pass position' respectively."

One person said, "Are we going to Xiongguan? This position sounds much more important than the other two."

The other Jinshi nodded one after another.

Fang Yun shook his head and continued writing.

"Xiongguan is the battlefield of the Dragon Realm, which is equivalent to the two-realm mountain of the human race. The bone demons and ghosts we saw before are all there."

"That should be Manglinwei?"

Fang Yun picked up his pen and explained: "That is the dragon clan's hunting ground, or the place where they eat. Although there are many ancient monsters, I'm afraid they are all dead."

"You mean to go to the desert?"

"Of course. Because the desert is also the burial place of the dragon clan!"

Everyone's eyes lit up. The dragon clan's burial place was not ordinary. Even though those ordinary dragon skeletons had decayed after countless years, there might still be some remains of the Dragon Saint.

"Fang Yun, this deserted land has a certain protective effect on the remains of the dragon race, right?"

"Yes, the Desert Land is different from the outside world. The power of the outside world will corrode the dragon bones, but the dragon bones in the Desert Land decay very slowly. Even if they decay, they will be absorbed by the power of the Desert Land and nourish the other more powerful dragon bones until the most powerful dragon bone decays."

"Then can we obtain the remains of the Dragon Saint?"

Fang Yun shook his head.

"It's hard to say. After all, this is just a place abandoned by the dragon clan. If there are really a lot of dragon saint remains here, they are likely to be taken away directly. In any case, it is better to go south than to go in other directions."

"Let's go south!"

Everyone immediately flew south.

The walls of the vertical altar pit were full of passages of various sizes. Everyone chose a passage about two meters high and rushed in. This cave was not too small, leaving room for fighting, nor too large to prevent those large and powerful creatures from entering.

The passage was pitch black, but in the eyes of the scholars, everything was as bright as day.

The eight people were flying on the dragon energy cloud while talking in low voices.

Soon everyone came to a fork in the road, where there were three passages.

Everyone looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun shook his head helplessly.

"Choose the channel with the strongest airflow." said Sun Renbing.

"Leave it to me." Mo Shan said as he stretched out his hand. A mechanical bird appeared in his hand. The mechanical bird flew over three cave entrances and finally hovered in the cave entrance on the left.

"Walk!"

Everyone flew towards the cave entrance on the far left.

Soon everyone discovered that the terrain here was like a maze, extremely complicated.

During the flight, Kong Detian came to Fang Yun and asked in a low voice: "How is your sword-pregnancy going? Since you dare to conceive the sword on Denglongtai, you must be sure of it."

Fang Yun picked up the pen and wrote: "The gestation of the sword will take longer than I estimated, but it will definitely be successful within a day!" Fang Yun had long felt that the power contained in the remains of the real dragon was running low.

"Okay! Then you should think more about the Jinshi War Poems now, and when you succeed in conceiving a sword, your talent will be restored, and you can use the Jinshi War Poems to fight! You don't have much talent now, so you must not waste it. If you write a Jinshi War Poem that is too strong now, you may not have enough talent when you succeed in conceiving a sword, and you will not be able to control your verbal battles."

Fang Yun nodded, indicating that he understood.

After flying for a quarter of an hour, the passage ahead suddenly became tortuous, and everyone had to slow down the speed of the Dragon Qi Cloud to avoid hitting the wall.

Fang Yun carefully observed the walls of the passage. They were shining with metallic color and were extremely hard. They must have been tempered by the power of the dragon clan.

The terrain here is too complicated, so Mo Shan has to keep sending out mechanical birds to explore the way.

Half an hour later, Mo Shan suddenly whispered, "Stop!"

All the dragon energy clouds stopped in place and everyone looked towards Moshan.

Mo Shan's face was stern, and he whispered, "My mechanical bird found the trace of dragon monsters. It was the arm of a dragon monster commander, and the blood on the ground was trampled and very messy. If I'm right, a large group of dragon monsters entered the passage ahead from another fork in the road!"

Everyone looked at each other. After a long while, Kong Detian said, "It seems that the dragon monster has also set its sights on the desert land. I wonder if Gu Jiaohou is here."

"Those dragon monsters will definitely follow Gu Jiao Hou. However, why did Gu Jiao Hou come here instead of going to the most important East? With Gu Jiao Hou's ability, it is impossible that he does not know the importance of the East."

Fang Yun thought for a moment and wrote: "Since there are precious treasures of the dragon clan in the east, they must be protected by many forces. If those protective forces are ineffective against the real dragon Ao Huang, now that Ao Huang has obtained the treasure, if those protections can also stop Ao Huang, then Ao Huang will definitely use a lot of energy to break those protections. Gu Jiaohou may have seen this and go to the deserted land first, and then go to the east. Of course, it is also possible that his subordinates help him track Ao Huang and know every move of Ao Huang and other dragons or monsters."

"Maybe so. Should we continue to head towards the deserted land?" Yun Nongzhang asked.

"We humans have never been afraid of monsters! What's more, the ancient monsters are just defeated warriors driven out by the monsters! I, Kong Detian, would like to meet the Ancient Dragon Marquis!" Kong Detian's tone was decisive and firm.

Fang Yun nodded secretly, worthy of being one of the Seventh Jinshi of the Holy Academy.

Yun Nongzhang said helplessly: "In this case, I can only go with you. It's a pity that most of my battle paintings will be consumed in Denglongtai."

While talking, everyone followed the dragon monster's traces.

A strange insect was hiding quietly in the crevice of a rock, watching the human scholar leave, and its two tentacles quickly touched each other.

About an hour later, Fang Yun found that the road ahead was suddenly clear, and he hurriedly flew out of the passage with everyone else.

The sky was clear blue, with two suns hanging in the sky. In front of us was an endless yellow desert with numerous sand dunes rising and falling, endless.

"Those two suns must be an illusion. This place is most likely the evolution of the Heaven and Earth Shell. A mere sky island cannot have such a large place."

"Fang Yun, tell me in detail everything you know about the deserted land, and then we will find a solution." Sun Renbing said.

Fang Yun nodded and began to use words to introduce what he knew about the deserted land.

"There is only one real dragon tomb in the dragon world, and the desert land can only be regarded as a temporary dragon tomb, usually only on the edge of a fierce battlefield. If the war is won, the dragon clan will transfer the dragon remains to the dragon tomb. If they lose, they can only seal them. Back then, the ancient demon clan defeated the dragon clan with their numerical advantage..."

Fang Yunyou wrote furiously, writing very quickly, and soon described the deserted land clearly.

After Fang Yun finished writing, everyone discussed what to do. Just when they were halfway through the discussion, the heaven and earth shook.

"No!" someone screamed.

Everyone looked towards the depths of the desert, but out of the corner of their eyes they saw a strange phenomenon in the sky and looked up hurriedly.

Then a crack appeared in the blue sky, one sun was sucked away, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of the other sun, and it fell downward.

The sun fell with a long flame, making a huge sound of breaking through the air. Before it hit the ground, the entire desert was affected by it, and a large amount of sand and dust began to fly in all directions.

"Don't enter the passage! Use all your defensive power!" Kong Detian shouted!

Everyone took action immediately. Layers of Jinshi defensive war poems appeared, and Yun Nong Zhang threw out several war paintings in succession, transforming into a large number of monsters to block everyone. Many people held Hanlin protective treasures. Once the ordinary defensive war poems could not hold up, they would use the treasures to save their lives.

Fang Yun observed carefully and found that the sun was just a stone with a lot of flames. Unlike a normal sun, it was twenty miles long, but there was nothing special about it.

Fang Yun became suspicious as to why the sun in the sky fell down shortly after Gu Jiaohou entered the desert.

As the huge stone fell, its surface continued to burn and vaporize. When it was about to hit the ground, Fang Yun discovered that there was something hidden inside the stone!

"Boom..."

Before Fang Yun could guess what it was, the sun crashed into the desert.

The entire earth shook violently, and then invisible shocks spread in all directions. A large amount of sand was lifted up by the tremendous force and turned into huge sand waves moving outward.

Fang Yun saw that the sand dunes in the distance suddenly flew high up and turned into sand waves thousands of feet high that smashed down heavily, covering the sky and forming a huge shadow that fell on everyone.

At the same time, Fang Yun heard a rumbling sound coming from the passage behind him, indicating that it had collapsed.

"Defend with all your strength!" Kong Detian shouted.

No one underestimates the thousand-foot sand waves. They are not ordinary sand. Not only can they move at high speed, but they also contain the destructive power formed by the setting sun.

In the face of this destructive force, everyone felt extremely small and death was so close to them. They all instinctively strengthened their defenses. Some people's defensive battle poems even broke through, entering the second realm and gaining the poetic soul.

The rapid sand waves thousands of feet high were finally approaching, like the sky falling.

"Hold on!" Kong Detian encouraged everyone, and there was even a hint of madness in his eyes.

Mo Shan did not say that it was a pity that he had used the Conservative Method too early, and Zhang Zhixing did not complain about having activated the power of the stars in order to kill the monsters. Instead, he conscientiously used the protective war poems to the best of his ability.

Sun Renbing sighed helplessly, pointed his finger forward, and said: "Tao, Heaven, Earth, General, Law, these five things change, and I will gain Heaven and Earth!"

The shadow of an old man in black appeared behind Sun Renbing. The old man was skinny and lifeless the moment before, but the next moment he suddenly burst into ruthless and endless fighting spirit, as if the shouts of hundreds of millions of soldiers had sounded.

With the help of hundreds of millions of soldiers, Sun Renbing seemed to have the power to change the world as described in "The Art of War".

The thousand-foot sand waves suddenly stopped, then lost all their strength, and countless gravels fell down naturally without any destructive power.

However, a second thick and huge sand wave appeared!

"I'll do it." Dong Yulu of the Dongsheng family pointed forward. (To be continued...)
