"Someone did talk about the Seven Star Stele, but it doesn't seem to be one of us." Mu Feng said in a low voice.
Xia Fei was startled and asked curiously, "Not one of us? Then whose is it?! "
Mu Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
With a whoosh, Nightingale landed on the ground. Countless dragon riders had already gathered under the Seven Star Stele, looking curiously and guessing who was challenging it.
Nalan Wufa and Sunshine were already waiting for Xia Fei. Coming to the conference room, Xia Fei first reported the situation of the four soul pets. Everyone let out a sigh of relief after hearing it. These four monsters were truly messing around. They were actually so bored that they wanted to slay dragons?!
However, this also reflected Yi Feng's personality. He was truly comparable to the Four Great Sky Devils. It was no wonder they didn't submit to the Demon Race. After all, they had the souls of Sky Devils! The Four Great Sky Devils leaving their soul pets for the Demon Race to defend was truly a miscalculation.
Changing the topic, Xia Fei asked curiously, "Why did the Seven Star Stele activate? I heard it wasn't one of us? Then who on earth is challenging the Seven Star Stele? "
Nalan Wufa shook his head and said, "Don't be impatient. Rakshasa has already gone to investigate. Right now, we still can't determine who entered the Seven Star Stele."
"The same thing has happened before. There was once a dragon warrior that took advantage of the fact that our defenses were weak to sneak into the Seven Star Stele. It seems that the dragon race has an extraordinary thirst for the Seven Star Stele and the title of Boundary Master. Of course, the God Crossing Ladder isn't something anyone can pass. Those dragons that sneaked in all died without a grave."
Xia 28 nodded and told everyone about the gathering of the dragon race in the outpost. The atmosphere in the command center was very tense. The older generation of dragon riders knew how powerful the dragon race was. The new batch of warriors had never fought with a dragon race before, so they were filled with unease.
"The reason why we have been fighting for the Seven Star Stele for so long, other than its mysteriousness, is that the Seven Star Stele itself contains a defensive formation! Xia Fei, you guys came from the south. Do you know why? "Nalan Wufa asked.
"Because only the south can enter the Seven Star Stele?" Xia Fei quickly deduced.
"That's right!" Nalan Wufa looked at Xia Fei in satisfaction. Sunshine had already told him that Xia Fei had been the one to analyze and come up with the strategy before he came here. He was a tactical genius, so Xia Fei was able to predict the answer the moment Nalan Wufa asked, which surprised him.
"The Seven Star Monument can only be entered from the south, but there are no restrictions on exiting. Therefore, whoever stands on the Seven Star Monument will have the advantage in terms of defense. They just need to concentrate their forces at this point."
"The Dragon Riders have the advantage in numbers. That's why we have to take the hinterland of the Seven Star Stele at all costs. Only then can we increase our chances of winning," Nalan Wufa said.
Xia 28 nodded and said, "It seems like the Seven Star Stele is really important. We can't give it up easily. Also, I brought the Garden of God with me. The garden itself is a warship, the fastest warship! Whether it's a retreat or a sneak attack, the Garden of Gods will be of great use. "
"In that case, it seems that we should focus on the Seven Star Stele and come up with a battle plan as soon as possible. We should focus on defense and make tactical arrangements to deal with all kinds of situations."
"Not bad!" Nalan Wufa said. "I agree with you, but there are too many plants in the Garden of Gods that are very important to us. It's best if we don't put it in danger."
The group was discussing when Rakshasa walked into the conference room with a gloomy face. He slammed the table and said in a deep voice, "It really isn't one of us. I've already done a headcount, and not a single one of us is missing. I'm afraid it's the despicable Dragon race again! They snuck into the Seven Star Stele when we were not paying attention. "
With that, Rakshasa sat down to sulk. Then, he heard a loud commotion outside.
"Oh no! The second stele has been lit up! "
"No way! They've reached the second floor so quickly?! "
"Is it one of us? Is it one of us or not?! "
The Dragon Riders were very disciplined. They did not panic because of this, but they could not help but whisper behind their backs.
Xia Fei and the others hurried out of the conference room. Sure enough, the second Seven Star Stele had been lit up! It meant that the evil dragon had reached the second floor!
Frowning, Xia Fei asked, "How long has it been since the Seven Star Stele lit up?"
"Less than eight hours," Nalan Wufa said in a deep voice.
"Is that considered fast?" Xia Fei asked.
Nalan Wufa, Dinghai, and Rakshasa all had ugly expressions on their faces. Nalan Wufa said in a deep voice, "It's not fast; it's very fast! In fact, I've never seen anyone use eight hours to get through the first stone stele! That brother who made it to the fifth stone stele was the best and fastest in the history of the Dragon Riders, but he still used twelve hours to get through the first floor. "
Everyone sighed. It seemed that the Seven Star Stele was going to be a tough challenge this time!
What was even more frightening was that the Dragon Riders had no idea who was inside the Seven Star Stele. It could be a Dragon, or it could not be one!
In short, anyone who was not part of the Dragon Riders would be able to get through the God Striding Ladder and become a god! It would not be a good thing!
The conference ended in silence. Xia Fei returned to the Garden of Gods, his eyes occasionally glancing at the shining stone stele.
It was already late at night, and the pattern of stars on the stone stele was particularly glaring!
He saw Ye Zhiqiu sitting in a corner of the garden, drinking a bottle of wine by himself. Seeing Xia Fei, Ye Zhiqiu bitterly nodded his head.
Ye Zhiqiu had been like this ever since they set off. Aside from receiving treatment from Chu Jingfeng, he had been alone, never once leaving the Garden of Gods.
Xia Fei suddenly felt some sympathy for Ye Zhiqiu. Though he was one of the Five Elders Peaks, this was not what he wanted to see, nor was it something he could control, so it was not a big crime.
Smiling, Xia Fei walked over and took the bottle of wine from Ye Zhiqiu's hand, tilting his head back and taking a few gulps.
Wiping his mouth, Xia Fei said, "Not bad. This is a top-notch Jasper Sauvignon wine. Don't you always drink tea? Why did you suddenly like drinking wine? "
Ye Zhiqiu sighed. "Tea and wine are no different to warriors of my rank. It's just that the tea leaves are too fragrant, and I need something more pungent right now."
Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. "Actually, no one is blaming you. You should know that everyone treats you as a comrade. Now that we're facing a great enemy, we need an expert like you to step forward. You mustn't let this continue."
Ye Zhiqiu nodded. "Don't worry. I've already thought it through. Everyone has their own things to do. What I need to do is to step forward when I'm needed and use these old bones of mine to atone for the sins of those souls who died unjustly."
Xia Fei was stunned. Ye Zhiqiu's words implied that he was asking for death! It was as if he was tired of endless battles and living a meaningless life. He wanted to use his death to prove himself.
"Why bother? Isn't it better to live as long as you can?" Xia Fei softly said. A person could not be stopped if they had already made up their mind. Xia Fei was well aware of this, especially when it was an expert and a wise man like Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled bitterly. "This is the position I should be in. This is my destiny. Believe me, the dead won't feel anything. Instead, it's me, the living, who has to bear the condemnation of my conscience. You also can't bear to see me live in the shadows, unable to sleep at night, right?"
Xia Fei was speechless. The most painful thing was not the knife wound but the heart wound!
Ye Zhiqiu had been betrayed by a friend, and his most trusted subordinate had died because of him. These were all wounds that could never be healed! His heart was already dead. The only reason he was still alive was because there were some things he needed to resolve.
Patting Ye Zhiqiu on the shoulder, Xia Fei stood up and softly said, "No matter how others see you, you'll always be Old Ye, my friend."
In an instant, Ye Zhiqiu's eyes brimmed with tears. He hurriedly turned his head, not letting Xia Fei see his dejected look.
Xia Fei entered Avril's room thoughtfully, lighting a cigarette as he muttered to himself, "Everyone has their place. Everyone has their place they should be in." Avril did not understand what Xia Fei meant. She leaned on Xia Fei's shoulder and said, "That's right. I understand. That's why I've always been silently supporting you behind your back, being a good wife to you. What I should do is listen to you and not cause you any trouble."
Xia Fei gently stroked Avril's golden hair and smiled. "I'm not talking about you. You've already done a lot. I'm just thinking, where should I be?"
"You need your place, like me."
Avril leaned close to Xia Fei's ear, using her mouth to lightly blow on the back of his ear, her pretty face blushing.
Very soon, the sound of hot breathing could be heard from the room as two figures intertwined.
It was close to dawn, but Xia Fei could not fall asleep. He put on his coat and walked out of his room, lighting a cigarette as he looked in the direction of the Seven Star Monument.
Avril was in her pajamas, walking out in a daze. She grabbed Xia Fei's arm and asked, "Are you still thinking about that problem?"
"Yeah."
"Very simple. You need to continue leading everyone to fight against the evil dragon. After all, you're the fastest. There are many places where you'll be needed if a real fight breaks out, "Avril said softly.
Xia Fei's body trembled as he looked at the Seven Star Monument once more.
"When millions of soldiers are fighting, no matter how fast I am, I won't be able to decide the outcome of the battle, but there's a mission that needs me, and only I have a chance of completing it."
Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Ye Zhiqiu's words yesterday reminded Xia Fei that everyone needed to find their place. Xia Fei had extraordinary speed, but if he were to enter a battle of millions, his advantage in speed would be greatly reduced. After all, there were too many enemies, and it would be impossible to kill them all.
However, the Seven Star Monument was different. Only the strongest speed-type had a chance of completing this challenge. And Xia Fei was the fastest person in the entire universe.
A ray of sunlight seeped through the morning mist. The sun was about to rise.
Black and white intersected in the sky, creating a chaotic scene. For many, this would be an unbearable night.
That was when the third stone monument quietly lit up.
That evil dragon had already reached the third floor.
