The fire of the sun hangs high in the sky, motionless.
The plague zombies from afar are coming in an endless stream. As long as they are within ten miles of the Sun Fire, their strength will inevitably weaken.
Those plague zombies were not afraid of death and continued to move forward.
Zhang Zhixing used his own strength to make tens of thousands of plague zombies weak and powerless, almost losing their threat. If they got a little closer, even the newly promoted scholars' verbal battles would be enough to cut them off. However, if the power of the plague was still there, they would never die.
Many newly-appointed Jinshi who were not from aristocratic families had a hint of admiration in their eyes. This was the power of the Jinshi with star rank.
Ma Zhaoming praised in a low voice: "It is worthy of the power of the semi-saint star position, and it is worthy of the power of the semi-saint Zhang Heng who is known to be earth-shattering. If we talk about the killing of the heavenly phase, the sage Zhang Heng is definitely in the top three."
"Unfortunately, only the children of aristocratic families or a few human geniuses can obtain the second-level semi-saint star position. We work harder to obtain the lowest level of the first-level marquis star position. However, even the lowest first-level star position can only be obtained by one-tenth of the Hanlin. Only after reaching the level of Grand Secretary can one be sure to obtain the first-level star position."
"There are many sources of first-level star positions, with the main source being the power of Void Saints. Perhaps it won't be long before Fang Void Saint can grant first-level star positions to others. Once he is canonized as a saint, he can naturally grant second-level star positions."
“It’s a pity that I don’t know if there will be a chance.”
Ji Shouyu sighed and said, "If my guess is correct, there are still a large number of demons rushing here not far away. Brother Jia, you should keep your star power for now. We need the star power of the Mo family for this battle."
Mo Shan nodded, but instead of pointing at Yaoman, he pointed at the ground.
"Love all mankind, do not attack the strong. Stick to the rules, promote the benefits of the world, and eliminate the harm of the world!"
A tall old man appeared behind Mo Shan, untied his belt and threw it downwards. The belt quickly expanded and surrounded the three hundred scholars.
"Boom..."
The belt suddenly turned into a translucent light and shadow fortress rising from the ground, and all the scholars rose as the fortress rose.
Finally, the fortress of light and shadow gradually solidified and became an unbreakable stone castle. The castle was three feet high, and everyone was on top of the castle.
This small castle not only has parapet loopholes, but also various shelters, and the walls surrounding the castle are full of traps!
Three feet is the height of a three-story building, and the demon soldiers cannot jump directly. Among the demon generals and barbarian generals, only some races that are good at jumping can jump that high directly, and almost all demon commanders can jump three feet directly.
"What a strong power." Many Jinshi admired in a low voice. To create a fortress was something that even a university scholar could not do. Only a great scholar could do it with subtle words and profound ideas.
With this castle, the safety of the three hundred scholars is increased a hundred times!
Everyone immediately wrote down war poems and summoned a large number of energetic soldiers to surround the entire Mohist castle.
With these energetic soldiers, the Mohist Castle is as solid as a rock.
Standing on a high place, it stopped raining, and everyone looked further and found that there were monsters heading towards here from all directions.
Surrounded from all sides!
There were ten square formations in the direction of the demon mountain alone, with a total of 100,000 demons! Moreover, among them, there were a full fifty demon lords!
Each demon lord is equivalent to a Hanlin, and only those above the Jinshi level are Hanlin.
There were only three hundred Jinshi scholars present.
Sun Renbing sighed and said, "Before, the Lord of Plague sent out 150,000 demons to waste our talents, to test our strength, and to delay time. Now his goal has been achieved, and he has figured out our details. The demons from other places have also been mobilized! It's my fault. I always regarded the Lord of Plague as a demon who can only use insidious means to poison us, but ignored that the whole thing is obviously a demon layout that is proficient in human military tactics and weaknesses! If I had regarded him as a human military strategist, I might have taken precautions in advance."
Fang Yun shook his head slightly. Like Sun Renbing, he had not considered that the monster could be so smart. But Fang Yun did not blame anyone because he was now in a situation of "information asymmetry". Being blocked in the hunting ground was like being kept in the dark.
"Could it be a rebel scholar?"
"It's possible. But the most powerful rebel scholars are not good at military tactics. The lower-ranking rebel scholars would never dare to use the Moon Tree Shadow as the first step of their plan, let alone convince the Lord of Plague. The only person in the demon world who has such ability and courage is the Barbarian Sage, but he has already been killed by Shushan in the gate of the demon ancestor."
Fang Yun thought of the legend of the Barbarian Sage that he had read in Xing Yaoman's book, and said, "Every time the Barbarian Sage made a plan, he would have a backup plan to make up for the failure of the plan. Before he went to the Demon Ancestor's Gate to kill me, had he also planned this Spring Hunt? Even if I don't participate in the Spring Hunt this year, I will participate next year. As long as the Lord of Plague sends in the power of plague once every six months, he will definitely have a chance to kill me."
Sun Renbing's eyes widened, and he said, "It's very likely! Many of our human race's semi-saints who are proficient in military tactics and strategies, even after the death of the saint, rely on the ingenious strategies they left behind to scheme against the enemy or the demons, and leave opportunities for revival for future generations. For example, the well-known evil king, he obviously relied on the power left by the Meng Saint to have the confidence to revive the Meng family, but it's a pity that he went astray. I don't know whether the military tactics of the military saint surpassed the military semi-saint, but it must be better than the military Confucian scholar, so it is normal for him to leave behind countermeasures and strategies."
Ji Shouyu said, "I was just guessing originally, but now I can basically confirm that it was the work of the Military Barbarian Saint. The most common saying of the Military Barbarian Saint is that a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit. Apart from him, no other demon barbarian would mobilize the power of the Moon Tree Shadow and the Lord of Plague in the Jinshi Hunting Ground. There is no great saint in the demon world now, and the Lord of Plague can be said to be one of the strongest demon saints."
"It seems that we can only use the power of stars one by one to kill them all."
Kong Detian said bitterly, "The power of the saints is vast. Even if we get the power of the star position, we can only take one path to study deeply. If we use it too much, it will be very disadvantageous in the later stage. However, some of the paths we choose are suitable for two armies to fight against each other, while others are only suitable for single combat or small-scale battles. My star position power is 'Knowing the Spring and Autumn', which can only affect a radius of ten feet. At this moment, the effect is far less than that of Brother Moshan and Brother Zhixing."
Fang Yun said: "Brother Detian, don't be modest. If a powerful monster breaks in at the end, your knowledge of spring and autumn can completely cover the entire castle and make them go without return. The biggest function of this castle is not to protect the monsters, but to give us a place to recover our talents! Now, please arrange the personnel again, divided into three shifts to rotate the battle mode, and always have someone who can think straight and quickly recover their talents! Whoever has a literary treasure that can quickly recover talents, be sure to take it out. I have three here."
As Fang Yun spoke, he took out three rolls of straw mats. The surface of each roll of straw mat exuded a very faint white light, filled with a sacred and peaceful atmosphere.
Everyone was very happy.
Chen Jingxi said happily: "I recognize this jade-inlaid purple grass mat. It was from Chen Zu's study. It has been immersed in holy power for a long time and has become a holy power treasure that can accelerate the recovery of talent. Who would have thought that after giving it to Saint Fang Xu, it would continue to help me, a member of the Chen family. It is true that there is gain in loss." (To be continued...)
