Chapter 232: When the Man Who Disappeared Reappears...
Nothing was said all night.
The Old Imperial City is located at the most central meeting point of the Three Frog Kingdom, extremely far away from Youlian Waterfall.
Fortunately, there are sand sculptures and magma birds, and although the journey is boring, the efficiency is not low.
In his spare time, the Night Chill King will summon the Great Goose Immortal to train the two life wheel-level birds with the "Devil's Martial Arts".
Of course, beating Mo and accompanying Guagua, this is also a compulsory course every day, and it cannot be refused.
"It's almost there, that's the old imperial city!"
On the tenth day, the warm sun hung high, the cold wind raged, and a dark shadow appeared on the distant horizon.
It was an abandoned city, and the crumbling faΓ§ade was littered with the scratching of the claws and the smashing of the claws.
Ye Hanjun looked out and saw a thousand-meter-high watchtower, as well as a dry moat.
Two or three hundred years ago, when this place was not deserted, it must have been more prosperous and powerful than the imperial capital of the three kingdoms of red frogs, grass frogs, and blue frogs.
"It's all bones, and it's hard to imagine how many people perished with the division at the height of the dynasty."
"How many of these people are ordinary soldiers who still have young and old families in their families, and how many of them were once famous and powerful?"
Retracting the magma bird, the two of them stepped on the ground.
Sun Lin glanced at the wild grass that had grown wildly along the way, staring at the bones that had long been eaten and wiped clean by the wild beasts under the cover of the grass and trees, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Growing up to her level, she should have been accustomed to life and death.
But the mountains are full of bones that no one cares about.
If you listen closely, you can still hear the wailing of lonely ghosts.
What unforgivable mistakes did they make? Is it necessary to expose the corpse in the wilderness like this?
Sun Lin's face became more and more ugly.
The accumulated anger and helplessness completely and completely filled the heart.
"Tata Tower!"
A group of light cavalry galloped over, a total of five people, and the mounts were all jade infant-level beasts.
The leader was a fierce man with five big and three thick, raised his spear, and pointed at the necks of the two from afar:
"Phew! During the opening period of the ruins, this is a forbidden area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter! β
"You leave quickly, I will spare you from death!"
"Grass Frog Country's Standard Armor ......"
Sun Lin narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous expression.
"Warning! There is a strong enemy invasion!! β
The leader of the team was startled, hugged the horse's neck, and immediately jumped backwards.
The aura of the two of them was extremely weak before, and they were just ordinary nobodies.
Suddenly, this beautiful woman who still had charm flew out of her hand with a fire whip and threw it like lightning.
With such a terrifying momentum, how can it be an idle person!
The fierce man roared like a bull.
However, STRONG HORSE, which was sitting under him, raised its front hooves and was just about to move when the ground suddenly collapsed.
The whirling whip easily bound his arms and threw him to the ground.
"Bang bang bang bang!!"
Five flaming lashes, all five of them fell off the back of their mounts and fell to the ground.
Without waiting for the fetus of the five jade babies to rampage, the light flashed, and the earth and wood beast appeared.
Just manipulated the soil at will, and the five "thick soil cages" locked them up, no matter how they roared, the sound was blocked inside, and they couldn't be transmitted to the outside.
"The fetus of life, the wheel of life?!"
The fierce man who led the team, his jaw almost dropped.
At this time, the lower half of his body was buried in the soil, and he was crushed by the soil.
The upper body was tied with a fire whip and forced to endure the blazing burn.
But after his face turned pale, he still stiffened his neck and tried to threaten:
"I'm just the leader of the patrolling soldiers, and I will be tortured and killed by you!"
"When the Great Offering notices the abnormality, you will be punished with death, and I will wait for you in the Netherworld, waiting for you to 'reunite' with you!!"
There is still a bloody fierce man, and he almost squeezes out these words from between his teeth.
"Your Excellency...... I don't want to die, my lord! β
The other soldier suddenly fell to the ground and trembled:
"I also have a three-year-old sister, and without me, there would be no breadwinner for the family......
"There are still soft-footed shrimp on the battlefield?" Sun Lin sneered: "If killing you can solve the problem, then it will be easy to do." β
"Skinny Monkey!"
The fierce man who led the team was furious, and his eyes were as cold as an ice cellar.
"Bang!"
The Woodbeast paced over, its tail sweeping and knocking him unconscious.
The soldier, nicknamed "Thin Monkey", changed his face drastically, and hurriedly bowed down, never daring to raise his head again.
"What's going on inside? Tell me all the information you know. β
Sun Lin was condescending, as if she couldn't refuse.
"The ruins of the Tang Emperor...... It's been three days now! β
"Blue frogs, red frogs, and our grass frogs, the members of the royal family, including the lord of the country, plus the various great offerings and guards, have all entered the ruins and participated in the test of the Tang Emperor......"
"The ruins have already been opened?"
Sun Lin's face changed, and she muttered to herself:
"We're still late......"
"Don't worry, listen to him first."
Ye Hanjun chuckled and glanced at the soldiers, there was no majesty in his eyes, and his voice was extremely flat.
But it was this kind of gaze, it was such a gaze, for some reason, the thin monkey's limbs were cold, and he was far more frightened than facing Sun Lin.
"Your Excellency...... What do you want to know? I can tell you everything I know, just let us live......"
Ye Hanjun rolled his gaze and asked thoughtfully:
"When entering the Old Imperial City, a battle can break out between the three kingdoms?"
"Only a few inconsequential soldiers died......"
The thin monkey said in a trembling voice:
"The relics of the Tang Emperor cannot be lost, the three kingdoms sent are the strongest, and most of the high-level powerhouses of the giant frog pond are now gathered here."
"Plus...... The three countries check and balance each other, even if it is our grass frog and blue frog, we don't dare to really fight, for fear of being picked up by the red frog......"
"Oh." Ye Hanjun bowed his head and asked again:
"Now that the ruins have been opened, and the strongest have entered the ruins, how will the jurisdiction be distributed in the old imperial city?"
"This ......"
The thin monkey hesitated, not quite sure:
"Small ranks are not enough, and I can't understand everything about arming."
"But...... Based on a few days of inspection, it was roughly judged that the three countries were scattered and stationed, and the middle was clearly divided, and the situation was also balanced, and only by waiting for the lord of the country to come out of the ruins could he plan the next operation. β
"So, we accidentally broke into the area of the Grass Frog Country?"
Ye Hanjun suddenly said, "Which side is the Blue Frog Country?" East or West? β
"Due West! The remaining high-ranking generals and soldiers of the Blue Frog Country are all over there! β
The thin monkey spoke quickly, for fear that he would anger the two bigwigs if he returned slowly.
"Let's go."
Ye Hanjun no longer paid attention to the five of them, nodded towards Sun Lin, and took the lead.
"Amu, lock them up, don't let them shout for a while."
"Bang bang bang!"
Carrying out the orders of its master, the Wood Beast once again uses the "Thick Earth Cage".
It locked five soldiers and five contract spirits together and buried them in shallow soil.
Unless they are rescued by the spirits of the life wheel level, if they want to get out of trouble, they have to dig for three or five days before they can escape.
β¦β¦
After going around for half a circle, Ye Hanjun and Sun Lin entered through the city gate on the other side.
This time, I saw the standard armor of the Blue Frog Country from afar, as well as the dazzling Blue Frog badge.
"Bang Bang!"
The soldiers noticed the anomaly and raised their spears.
Sun Lin swept around, saw a familiar figure, and his eyes lit up.
"Vice Dean Sun??"
Wang Liang's face was stunned, and after seeing the figure standing next to Sun Lin, his temples burst out, and he was extremely surprised.
"Everyone, don't act on your own!"
At the sound of the order, the soldiers scolded the contract spirits and stopped letting them roar.
Immediately, Wang Lin rode a lion and ran to the gate of the city, staring at a man and a woman walking on foot, and was surprised:
Vice President Sun...... And...... Cold Division?? β
"You've been missing for a long time, how can you suddenly appear here!"
Wang Lin - one of the star mentors of Canghai Pavilion, once on the same level as Ji Yan, Nan Huaqiu, and Qian Xiaochuan.
Ye Hanjun has met him very few times, but Sun Lin is different, she has been in the academy for more than fifty years, so she is naturally very familiar.
"It's a long story."
Sun Lin shook his head and asked directly:
"What about the others? All in the ruins? β
"Dean Du, Vice President Qin, Vice President Bian, all three of them entered the ruins with the second prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Wang Lin seemed to look directly at Sun Lin, but the afterglow fell on Ye Hanjun's body, and said cautiously:
"And discipline."
"He has been promoted to the fourth rank, and he has been transferred to the C-rank "Wind Walker", and he has also entered as a member of the escort team."
"He was promoted?" Sun Lin was a little surprised.
was a former star mentor, not counting the freak around him, Ji Yan was the latest to receive the title.
Unexpectedly, the three veteran mentors in front of them were all stuck in the third rank, and they didn't move at all.
But he broke through the barrier, surpassed his predecessors, and stood on a higher heaven and earth......
His thoughts turned, and Sun Lin showed a hint of relief.
After the waves hit the shore, the torch is passed, which is a good thing.
"Cold Master...... Long time no see! β
Wang Lin finally turned his head and faced Ye Hanjun's face, his burning eyes trying to see through everything.
Sadly, he couldn't see anything.
But he could perceive that the distance between the two seemed to be extremely distant.
Han Jun is no longer the mysterious boy with black hair and black eyes in his impression, it seems that overnight, he has become as calm and sophisticated as Sun Lin.
No way? No way!
Wang Lin, whose heart was pounding, had a terrible thought.
All the gossip was saying that the reason why Han Jun disappeared from the battlefield was to break through the barrier and hit a higher rank.
Now, he appeared, doesn't that mean ......
Forcibly suppressing the unwarranted suspicion, Wang Lin swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked the two again about their intentions.
"It's time for the war to end."
Ye Hanjun whispered, "Outside the ruins, there should be a fourth-rank defender to take me to meet him." β
"You broke through?"
Wang Lin took a deep breath, and his pupils shook.
"Yes."
Ye Hanjun nodded and generously acknowledged.
"Unbelievable, unbelievably ......"
"You should be 23 years old this year, right? To have such an achievement at the age of 23 is really ...... It's really ...... Unspeakable horror! β
Wang Lin exclaimed, glanced at the soldiers in the distance, and couldn't help lowering his voice and said:
"For this trip to the ruins, the Three Kingdoms have been planning and doing their best to deploy troops."
"Canghai Pavilion and Tianya Mansion, as the top universities in China, are forcibly recruited, and a group of people led by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have even bought off the "crayfish", which is tantamount to being accompanied by a tiger!"
"Prawns?"
Ye Hanjun chewed on the word gently, calm and composed.
Whether it is the relationship between the three kingdoms or other intelligence, with the channel of the Shadow Alliance, he and Sun Lin actually have a considerable part of understanding.
"Shrimp", among the underground forces of the giant frog pond, is enough to rank in the top three.
Its strength is not much different from that of the second-ranked "Wind Chime", except that the first-ranked "Ginkgo" slightly weighs them by half.
Nowadays, it is no secret that the Blue Frog Country has attracted the crayfish, the Grass Frog Country has attracted the wind chimes, and the Red Frog Country has attracted the Ginkgo.
In fact, both the Grass Frog Country and the Red Frog Country have sent envoys to want to cooperate more deeply with the Shadow Alliance.
It's just that the timing is not right, Ye Hanjun is still in retreat, and after Bai Qian inquired a little, he didn't pay attention.
"I heard...... The struggle for power between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince currently far ahead? β
"That's true."
Wang Lin sighed quietly:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can mobilize the "Shrimp", and there are also great nobles and worshippers who are willing to support him, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger."
"What's more, he himself is a powerhouse of the 4th rank, even if he tries his best to forcibly break through, his combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and he is much stronger than the second prince."
"What about the second prince? Except for a few big nobles who are willing to support him, and Lou Zhixin, a powerful worshipper, there is little other help. β
"No surprise, as long as this trip goes well, after leaving the ruins, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne."
"The henchmen of the second prince of Jieshi will inevitably face a heavy blow, and they have no idea in which direction the situation will develop......"
Wang Lin's voice was full of worry.
He is not of enough rank and has too low a voice.
The choice of the above can easily shake the whole country, and every move is closely related.
"It's time to fix all this."
Sun Lin muttered, and then glanced at Han Jun.
Although I don't know how he wants to act, but after getting along so far and witnessing his growth, this self-confidence boils and burns.
"The high-ranking general of the Blue Frog Kingdom stationed in the old imperial city is currently commanded by Liang Shui."
"Under it, the vice president of our college, the vice president of Tianya Mansion, the free mercenary overlord, Wang Qiusong and Wang Lutai of the Wang family...... There are at least 12 supreme beings, who work together to guard the peace of the periphery. β
"It's a luxurious lineup." Sun Lin nodded, "Most of the well-known powerhouses in the Blue Frog Country are probably here." β
"Let's go, let's meet."
Ye Hanjun raised his legs, and there was no look of awe on his flat face.
"Who's going to break in?"
There was a thunderclap in the sky, and a giant bear with wings roared towards it.
It was the "Heavy Armored Flying Bear", a brute beast with infinite strength, which could fly and fight on the ground, and its defense was the most amazing.
"It's the overlord, the famous free mercenary, known as the 'Uncrowned King'."
Wang Liang reminded, and before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man in black armor stared at his huge pupils and asked unceremoniously:
"Stop! Didn't you hear what this king said? β
"This is an important place in the military region, and by order of His Royal Highness the Prince, outsiders are not allowed to break in! Violators will be beheaded immediately! β
"So I'm an outsider?" Sun Lin didn't laugh angrily, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has given you a name and started to call yourself an orthodox army, right?" β
"Bold!"
The heavily armored flying bear swooped down, and the terrifying beast aura smashed down from the sky.
Wang Lin's hairs stood on end, and he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he didn't dare to fight for his edge.
"Whoa!!"
The imprint flickered, the magma bird appeared, and when it opened its mouth, it was a flame, and the heavily armored flying bear had no intention of dodging, and rushed wildly against the flames.
"Get out!"
Sun Lin activates the power of the "Flame Earth Warlock" to protect the spirit of the contract and strengthen the power of the elements.
In an instant, the flames spewed out by the magma bird expanded in a circle, and a huge fire shield condensed in front of him, completely sheltering the three figures below.
"Bang!!"
The fire shield shattered, and the armor was scorched, and the heavily armored flying bear sat on the ground in a daze.
It looked silly and stupid, but it was physically there and not so susceptible to fatal injuries.
After two pauses, the Flying Bear got up, roared loudly, and once again provoked the Magma Bird to fight it for three hundred rounds.
"Whoosh-whoosh-"
A giant dragonfly flew over, with its head and tail exceeding twelve meters, like a flying machine.
It is green all over, and there are plant-shaped granulations growing on its surface, and the life fluctuations it emits are also extremely consistent with nature.
Spinning Wood Dragonfly - a rare insect spirit!
It is already the realm of the great completion of the wheel of life, and a strange green wind blows everywhere it passes.
Seeds the size of fingernails were sprinkled and fell to the ground, burrowed into the soil, and patches of vines exploded, forming a shocking encirclement in a matter of seconds, encircling the four fighting people.
"Overlord, I told you to stay in the camp and not go out at will, why didn't you listen to the military order?"
Liang Shui, who was sitting on the back of the whirlwood dragonfly, frowned, and his face was full of majesty.
"I'm one of the main generals in the army, why can't I patrol the security?"
The overlord stood on the back of the heavily armored flying bear, snorted coldly, and directly turned the spearhead to Wang Scale:
"I want to ask, why did this soldier surnamed Wang lead the people outside to go straight into our army?"
"In case they have bad intentions, will our mission of guarding the ruins usher in a painful blow?"
"If even Vice Dean Sun and Master Han can't be called your own people, then you don't have this qualification."
Being in a lower position, he shouldn't have confronted the stronger.
However, Wang Liang didn't hold back, and as soon as the overlord's questioning fell, he pushed back, with a rare toughness in his attitude.
"Vice Dean Sun?"
"Master Han?"
The surrounding soldiers held their spears, and although their movements were not deformed, there was surprise in their eyes.
They may not have heard of the person Sun Lin, the Flame Earth Warlock, but the name of Hanshi Hanjun, who in the Blue Frog Country doesn't know?
"Shhh...... It's really him! β
The movement was too big, and one after another, more people came.
Tianya Mansion's fierceness, riding the Black Cloud Tiger and rushing to it, was both surprise and doubt.
"You two have been missing for a long time, why did you suddenly come to the old imperial city?"
"If you want to help the Blue Frog Kingdom fight for the treasures in the ruins, then you are too late, the royal family and nobles have already entered, and the large array is in a state of operation, and no one can trespass."
"Where's Pan Zhong, why don't you see Vice Dean Pan?"
Ye Hanjun pursed his lips, and there was no panic in everyone's eyes, and he was still calm and calm at the beginning. (End of chapter)
