In the middle of the demon mountain, the blood pool was full.
A large amount of blood gathered in the middle, forming a blood-colored eggshell that flew to the altar.
The patterns on the surface of the altar emitted a faint light, merging into the eggshell as if it was alive.
"Thump … thump … thump … thump …"
A steady and powerful heartbeat came from the blood-colored eggshell, and then the eggshell gradually turned from red to green.
A thick layer of green fog came out from the eggshell, covering the entire mountain.
In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of demons and barbarians in the mountain suddenly showed signs of pain. Their bodies burned, and they screamed miserably before twitching and falling to the ground.
The 24 barbarian marquises hiding in the distance realized that something was wrong and immediately ran away, but two of them were still affected by the green fog and twitched.
The other 22 barbarian marquises hurriedly knelt in front of the eggshell, and a wolf demon marquis said, "Saint, please take pity on us."
The green eggshell retracted the fog.
The two demon marquises slowly recovered, but their bodies were still very weak, just like ordinary people who had several serious illnesses.
More than half of the tens of thousands of demons and barbarians in the mountain had died, and the rest were dying.
Soon after, wisps of extremely light green smoke spread in all directions. All the surrounding Barbarian Demons howled in pain, but 90% of the Barbarian Demons returned to normal after experiencing the pain, no longer fearing the green smoke. Only 10% of them died.
The climate around the demon mountain changed slightly, as if the Saint had descended. The environment changed, and a gloomy aura spread in all directions.
The surrounding plants withered quickly, and their colors changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Far away from the demon mountain, the Jingguo Scholars sat in a circle in the camp, silent for a long time.
No one would have thought that an ordinary spring hunt would turn out like this.
Ma Chaoming said, "There is a way to test whether the Saint's power in the hunting ground has disappeared, and whether the Saints are protecting us."
"How?"
Ma Chaoming said, "It's very simple, one of us should take the initiative to leave the hunting ground. If the Half-saint responds, then it must be the Half-saint testing us. If there is no response, then … we are trapped in the hunting ground, and the Half-saint can't help us. "
"The demons and barbarians have such power?"
"Sealing the hunting ground for a short time is at least easier than the Moon Tree's Divine Punishment." He Ludong said.
"That's true."
The new Grand Scholar Gao Yong said, "Let me do it."
After Gao Yong finished speaking, he cupped his hands towards the sky and said in a clear voice, "Student Gao Yong has little talent and knowledge. It is difficult for me to be qualified to hunt the demons and barbarians. I hope to leave the hunting ground."
The surroundings were quiet.
Except for the sound of the wind. There was no sound at all.
Everyone waited for dozens of breaths, but Gao Yong remained motionless like a wooden statue. Then, he sighed softly and said, "It seems that the Saints really can't sense us. I'm afraid our only connection to the outside world is the Spring Hunting List. "
Fang Yun asked, "Mr. Chao Ming, can we go back the way we came from and leave the hunting ground?"
Ma Chaoming shook his head and said, "Since the Half-saint's will is no longer present, then the power controlling the hunting ground is dead. It will treat us as demons and barbarians, and will never let us leave. However, if we have the strength of a great scholar, we should be able to break through the power of the Saint Berth that controls the Hunting Ground. "
Fang Yun sighed softly. He said, "In that case, there is only one way for us to go, and that is to join forces with the Ten Nations and the Kong Family to storm up the demon mountain!"
"You're willing. We have no objections, but the other countries may not agree! "Ma Chaoming said.
"If you're indecisive, you'll only end up in trouble!"
Fang Yun said. He looked around and realized that there was a hill that was relatively high. Hence, he said, "Everyone, follow me to that hill!"
"Let's go!" Ma Chaoming was the first to catch up.
Ji Zhibai followed quietly without saying a word.
Not long after, everyone climbed up the hill. Fang Yun's tongue was like spring thunder as he shouted loudly.
"I am just lucky to be in the Illusionary Divine stage. In the Spring Hunt, everyone is equal and there is no difference in strength. However, there are sudden changes in the Spring Hunting this time, and the Half-saint's will has been lost. The hunting ground has been cut off from other places, and the situation is critical. I'm not going to take the risk! In the name of Xusheng, I order everyone in the hunting ground to go to the hill and gather around the shiny mechanical bird. We're going to discuss a foolproof plan! Those who hear this, please immediately use your tongue to spread the news to other places. "
Fang Yun didn't say too many polite words and used his tongue to its fullest.
Other Scholars could only use their tongue to spread a hundred miles, but Fang Yun's tongue could spread three hundred miles.
Not long after, Scholars from other countries came back one after another.
Gu, Shen, Yue, and Yun immediately said that they would rush over. Yun even gave up on attacking the Barbarian Tribe. Jingguo's Scholars sighed that they were indeed an old and powerful country.
Gyeongo said that they would come after killing the Barbarian Tribe, while Jia said that they were considering it.
After the nearest Gu arrived at the hill, Wu Guo, Qi Guo, Shu Guo, and Kongcheng's Scholars received the news and rushed over.
Although Gu and Jingguo didn't border each other, because the whole country was controlled by the School of Miscellany, they didn't get along well with Jingguo. However, these Scholars didn't obstruct or show any hostility. They communicated with Jingguo's Scholars in a friendly manner. Other than a few who had some concerns, most of them immediately agreed to cooperate.
Teams arrived one after another. At noon in Saint Origin World, except for Jia Guo, all the Scholars from the other nine countries and Kongcheng had arrived.
The expressions of the Qing Kingdom's scholars were all somewhat dark. Even the usually calm and collected Yan Yukong's face was heavy. A literary friend they had known for many years had died outside the hunting grounds, where death was impossible. This was something that no one could accept.
"Since Jia Guo isn't coming, then we'll give up!" Fang Yundao said.
No one had any objections. Even Ji Zhibai didn't object. They even despised Jia Guo and the Lei family.
The two hundred ninety-nine people were on a flat hill. They were either sitting or standing, and all of them had a serious expression.
Fang Yun scanned the crowd and said, "I'll sort out the situation first, then we'll discuss it later. First, the demons and barbarians on the Demon Mountain are accumulating power. Once they have enough power, they will hunt us down! Second, this place has been isolated. We can't communicate with the outside world. The only thing we can do is to look at the Spring Hunting Board. Third, we have to make a choice. Do we work together to kill our way up the Demon Mountain and uproot them before they have enough power? Or do we work together to wait for the Saints to rescue us? Who knows the Ancient Desolate City best? Then I'll ask the first question. How can the demons and barbarians isolate the hunting ground and the Saints? "
A young Scholar from the Half-saint family in Wu Guo immediately said, "I can guess this. There are many Moon Tree Shadows in the Demon World. If the demons and barbarians use the Moon Tree Shadows, they can seal off the Spring Hunting Island and Kong Shengwen World. They can suppress the Holy Temple and isolate the hunting ground. "
Fang Yun nodded and said, "Very good! Next question, if the Saints' clones come from other cities to rescue us, can the demons and barbarians stop them? "
"Yes."
"Yes!"
Many Scholars gave affirmative answers one after another.
Then, Fang Yun asked one question after another in a clear way for everyone to answer. In the end, everyone realized that some would die if they killed their way up the Demon Mountain, but some would also survive. If they waited passively for the Half-saint to rescue them, they might not die, but they might all be wiped out.
Then, the Scholars discussed in low voices.
