Chapter 160 Reasons
"Among them were two transformed giant demons and several powerful barbarians. We were no match for them, so we could only fight them while luring them away from our temporary base. Just as we were struggling to hold them off, Shan Ze arrived, and we took advantage of the situation to escape their encirclement. The demons sent a group of Swift Leopards to chase us. They were fast and nimble, so we had no choice but to go around to the other side of Yellowstone Gorge and into the Demon Mist Forest. We took advantage of the terrain and the unique fog there to trap and kill the Swift Leopards!"
"That's right," Shan Ze continued. "After we dealt with the Swift Wind Leopards, we discovered that Huangshi Gorge had been blocked by demonic barbarians, and that large numbers of the Illusion Butterfly Clan were entering and exiting. We immediately realized something was wrong, but we couldn't contact you, and we couldn't enter the gorge. Just then, a great battle broke out in Huangshi Gorge. We cautiously approached and discovered that human warriors had assembled and used the Earth Element Formation to completely alter the terrain of Huangshi Gorge. The land flipped, cliffs collapsed, and the entire gorge was reduced to a complete ruin. We were surprised at the time, because this Earth Element Formation was a large formation, requiring a Rank 3 Void Saint as the main force, supported by a large number of Rank 6 and 7 Confucianists, and it consumed countless cultural energy to execute."
"Haha, yes, we found out later that the group of monsters had set a trap in Huangshi Gorge, intending to kill us humans. But we outsmarted them and caught them in a trap. The monsters suffered heavy casualties, and those who managed to survive were killed by humans who had been waiting outside. As for those monsters who were planning to take advantage of the vacant defenses to launch a surprise attack on our border posts, most of them were killed due to our deliberate misleading. This battle was really satisfying. It's ridiculous that four or five out of ten monsters who had just formed an alliance were killed. I guess they won't dare to stretch out their claws anymore!" Wu Ziyu continued, his face full of joy. They had killed a lot of monsters who fled in panic this time, and they earned a lot of merit points.
"Later we found out that you were also responsible for all this. It was really unexpected. You two guys really made a great contribution this time!" Speaking of this, Wu Ziyu's eyes flashed with uncontrollable excitement. He stood up suddenly and slammed his palms on the table, as if he wanted to release the joy and gratitude in his heart with this sound.
"To be honest, it is all thanks to Liunian's unique literary skills. Otherwise, how could we be so lucky to 'accidentally' encounter this hidden big fish? This time, I'm afraid it was an unintentional success." Gu Yunzhou suddenly realized that he had indeed encountered the Yaoman team. No wonder he didn't find any trace of them along the way. It turned out that they had gone around to the back.
Jiang Liunian also told Shan Ze and the others about their experiences in the past few days. Until they heard that they were summoned by Zhou Bansheng and were specially rewarded with a place in the Holy Sea of Books, his words made the people present feel envious, and their eyes flashed with jealousy that was difficult to conceal.
"Oh, it's a precious spot in the Book Mountain Holy Land! Your luck is so good that it makes people jealous!" Wu Ziyu's words were a little sour, and his eyes moved between the two of them, full of envy.
"Ah, it's actually a spot in the Book Mountain Holy Land. You little brats are so lucky!" Wu Ziyu looked at the two of them with some envy.
"It's really rare. I didn't expect Zhou Bansheng to be so generous this time. You know, the competition for this quota has always been cruel. Even if you are a child of a noble family, or your family has a Bansheng ancestor as a backer, it may not be easy to get it!" Zhuang Xian is older and more calm. Although he is also very envious, he is not as eager as Wu Ziyu to bite his handkerchief and sob.
"Although this Book Mountain Holy Land is a great opportunity, it is full of dangers. You two must act with caution. Tomorrow, I will have people collect detailed information. You need to study it carefully in case of emergency." After being surprised by the two of them, Shan Ze's expression turned solemn, and he did not forget to give them warnings.
"Thank you, Brother Shan, for your reminder and concern. We will definitely keep it in mind and be extra careful when we act. Then we will travel together!" Gu Yunzhou had also heard about the dangers of Shushan Holy Land. It was not only from the same clansmen who entered with him, but also from the dangers inside.
"Yes, Yunzhou, I will protect you when the time comes. The two of us will rely on each other and overcome the difficulties together!" Jiang Liunian felt obliged to do so. He patted his chest with a firm and heroic tone.
The few of them talked for a while and then left. When they left Shan Ze's residence, the sky had begun to darken. Gu Yunzhou did not stay and went straight to the residence of the Academy of Literature.
"Master Jia has gone on a mission and hasn't come back yet. Thanks for letting me know!" Gu Yunzhou thanked a senior from the Academy of Literature for telling him, then walked towards his room.
Lying in bed, my heart was like the turbulent sea, difficult to calm down. Looking back on the experiences of the past few days, it was truly magnificent and wonderful, something that would have been impossible in my previous life.
Gu Yunzhou fell into a deep sleep unknowingly, and was called away by Xue Daru early the next morning.
Stepping into Xue Daru's residence once again, he was still the same elegant and refined scholar, his every gesture radiating the Confucian demeanor. However, the seeds of change had already begun to sprout within Gu Yunzhou. He no longer felt the shock and awe he had felt when he first met this fourth-rank scholar. The teetering on the brink of life and death was like an invisible whetstone, quietly sharpening his resolve. Indeed, the struggle between life and death sharpens a person's mind.
"Student Gu Yunzhou greets Mr. Xue!" Gu Yunzhou saluted Mr. Xue in front of him.
Xue Daru smiled gently, his eyes gentle as he gestured, "Yunzhou, no need to be so polite. Sit down and talk. Your performance this time has truly impressed me. My words of protection in the past seem a bit redundant now. Yesterday, Zhou Bansheng praised you lavishly in front of everyone. This honor is enough to allow you to travel freely in this border area. You and another young friend have achieved great military feats this time. You are truly the glory of our Academy of Literature!"
There was joy and satisfaction in Xue Daru's eyes. This time, not only Gu Yunzhou's reputation but also the reputation of their academy of literature rose.
"It was just a coincidence that we were able to receive your protection in the past, and we are still grateful to you!" Gu Yunzhou has been surrounded by praises in the past two days. He has been able to deal with them with ease and his words are humble.
This time, Zhou Bansheng has specially secured a valuable spot for you in the Shushan Holy Land. For the next few days, you won't have to leave. Stay with me and let me personally supervise you, helping you overcome your bottleneck and enter the Seventh Rank realm as quickly as possible! "Xue Daru smiled, revealing the main purpose of summoning Gu Yunzhou this time.
