The mechanical bird that was released earlier saw two new gathering points of barbarian demons and formed new tribes. After some estimation, one of them had about 8,000 barbarians and the other had about 12,000 barbarians.
Based on the amount of Qi and blood, the ratio of demon citizens, demon soldiers, and demon generals was about 2: 5: 3. Meanwhile, the number of demon commanders was about one-tenth of the number of demon citizens.
The number of ranks of barbarians in the outside world was in the shape of a pyramid. The number of demon citizens was huge, but the higher the rank, the fewer the number.
However, most of them were captives, so there were more demon soldiers and demon generals. There were fewer demon citizens than demon generals. Most of the demon citizens were younger, and most of them were the descendants of barbarians who survived the hunting ground.
After the first battle, everyone was confident and their morale was high. On the way, a few middle-aged Jinshi even told some interesting stories in the army, which made everyone laugh.
Only Ji Zhibai was expressionless.
Ji Zhibai really wanted to find an opportunity to make a fool of Fang Yun, but after thinking about it for a long time, he finally gave up. If by any chance his actions affected the Spring Hunt, the Scholars present would really dare to kill him within five steps. The power of the Hunting Ground's Sainthood would only protect the Scholars from being killed by the Demons and Barbarians, but it would not protect them from killing each other.
Ji Zhibai did not have any thoughts of assassinating Fang Yun now. He knew that once he killed Fang Yun, not only himself, but his master, Mount Liu, would also be arrested and sent to the Notre-Dame's prison. The Ji family might even be killed.
Previously, the Zong family, Meng family, and Lei family dared to frame Fang Yun. Now, the crime was not to mention that Fang Yun was suspected of not saving Lei Jiu. As long as Fang Yun had enough reason, he even had the right to kill Lei Jiu.
Ji Zhibai looked at Fang Yun's back. In his eyes, the words "Xusheng" were floating above Fang Yun's head.
Ji Zhibai was silent, but the Jinshi in front of him was very talkative. After all, this was their chance to leave their names in history. For more than half of them, it might be their only chance.
"Shu Country has surpassed us in the spring hunt ranking and is ranked third. We've been pushed to fourth. At least the other countries have no hope today. "
"Not bad. Over the years, no matter how lucky Jingguo is in the spring hunt, it has never reached the fourth place. At most, it has stayed in the sixth place for four hours. "
"We must not let the tribe in front of us go!"
"It's just that … Confucius said, 'A man without foresight is bound to have immediate worries.' The demonic beasts and barbarians are behaving very strangely today. We have to be on guard. "
"Of course, we have to be careful. However, if the actions of the barbarians and demons threaten us, Half-saint will naturally take action. Perhaps Half-saint is testing us on purpose. I remember that three years after the Battle of Borderline Mountain, there was a Half-saint who deliberately let the Demon Marquis go down the mountain to attack the Spring Hunt Scholars. "
"That's true. Unfortunately, only Half-saint, who was born here, could come and go as he pleased. Half-saint Saints from the outside world are not allowed to enter, and Half-saint Saints can only send their avatars in, their strength is limited. "
"That's right. If our human Half-saint could come in, we would be more at ease."
"But, why do you think the demons and barbarians have suddenly gathered in the periphery?"
The group fell silent.
Fang Yun said, "During the war, I heard some of the barbarians say that they wanted to stop us from going up the Demon Mountain. Wait until the next tribe. Leave some of the barbarian commanders and generals alive. At that time, we were afraid of accidents, so we did not remind them during the war. Brother Ji, we'll rely on you when we reach the next tribe. "
"Eh? Of course! "Ji Zhibai was stunned for a moment, then straightened his chest. There was a faint sense of pride. However, Ji Zhibai soon found that his mentality had changed. He secretly scolded himself for not having enough self-control. He actually felt proud after hearing Fang Yun say a few words.
"Stop us from going up the Demon Mountain? Could it be that the barbarians and demons are planning something? "
"Don't tell me they want to hunt down the Scholars of other countries?" Zhang Zhixing laughed, but after he said that, he could not laugh anymore. He added, "Maybe it's really possible!"
"It shouldn't be too dangerous, otherwise Half-saint would definitely stop us."
"If we can't beat them. Running away is not a problem. "
Gao Yong said helplessly, "You've all been Scholars for many years. The talent in the Palace of Literature ranges from three inches to ten inches. But us new Scholars barely have a little more than one inch of talent. We haven't mastered the Scholar Fleeting Poem yet. If we're chased by barbarians and demons, we may be able to escape in a short time, but we definitely can't travel long distances. "
Ma Chaoming said, "It's okay, us old guys can carry you on our way."
The nine new Scholars suddenly felt helpless.
"Fang Xusheng, how many inches of talent are you?"
Fang Yun thought for a moment. His talent was growing too fast, completely beyond common sense. He could not tell the truth, so he could only say less, "Five inches."
Shocked voices sounded again and again.
Ma Chaoming said with a bitter smile, "I only had five inches of talent in the sixth year of becoming a Scholar. Fang Xusheng is better. It hasn't even been three months since he became a Scholar before becoming a Saint. He's really a genius. "
Ji Zhibai lowered his head and did not say anything. He had been a Scholar for more than a year and had entered the Academy. He was far better than his peers, but his talent was only three inches.
Zhang Zhixing said, "I'm one of the seven Scholars of the Notre-Dame. My talent is barely among the top Scholars, but it took me a year and a half to reach five inches. Even the great scholar Yi Zhi Shi would need at least ten months to reach five inches of Qi. "
"I took seven years." A middle-aged Scholar shook his head.
"I took three years …"
Everyone reported their numbers one by one, and they became more aware of the gap between them and Fang Yun.
Fang Yun was embarrassed by the praise. He said, "In front of us is the eight thousand barbarian tribe. This time I'll first injure some barbarian commanders or barbarian generals, and then I'll fight with all my strength!"
"That's good."
Not long after, everyone arrived at the second barbarian tribe.
Unlike the first tribe, eighty percent of the barbarians here had just migrated from other places and were busy building tents and demon nests.
This was originally a medium-sized tribe, and the eight thousand barbarians were not yet used together. The strength of the barbarian army was far less than the previous tribe, so everyone was confident.
After a short discussion, the Scholars of Jingguo rushed to the camp under the power of "Crossing the Sea by Deception".
This battle was much smoother than the previous one. Fang Yun cut off the limbs of four barbarian commanders and more than twenty barbarian generals, exhausting their talent. Then Ji Zhibai used the skills of the School of Miscellaneous Studies and the School of Vertical and Horizontal Studies to confuse the barbarians.
"I … don't know anything …"
"I only heard that it was an order from the Demon Marquis. He said that we barbarians have been hunted for many years, so we should take this opportunity to fight back and perish together with the humans …"
"The barbarians who gave the order are very confident. Looking at them, it seems that they can really kill all the human barbarians who entered the hunting ground."
"They've already set the time and told us not to move too early. The reason? They didn't say … "
"They're very secretive because they're afraid of being discovered."
"I don't believe that they can kill all the human barbarians …"
"Yes, they ordered us to try our best to delay the human barbarians and not let them go up the Demon Mountain."
"The Demon Marquis is very powerful. We have to listen to him …"
These barbarian commanders and barbarian generals talked one after another, and the Scholars became more and more confused.
When the barbarians and barbarians couldn't give any valuable information, He Ludong killed them all. Then, everyone found a clean tent to rest and discuss the matter.
"It's obvious that there's a master among the barbarians. It's very likely that they'll hunt us down."
"Not only that, they seem to be accumulating strength and letting the barbarians in other places delay us. When the time comes, they'll definitely attack with all their strength!"
