Chapter 1 The Mystery of Saibei 1
Huangtai Fort, built of basalt steel, is thirty miles wide, with a wall that is a hundred feet thick at the base and twenty feet wide at the top. The highest point is 670 feet and the lowest point is 510 feet. It is like a giant beast entrenched in a dangerous place.
The mouth of Tianduan Gorge.
The battle fort extends forward with two huge protrusions. The city wall here is even thicker. The outside is wrapped with three layers of steel armor that has reached the magic weapon level. The inside is reinforced with nine layers of strange formations. It is connected with spiritual energy and is indestructible - like the armor of a mythical beast.
Two fangs. Any monster that rushes out from the extremity of Shenjin Mountain will be torn to pieces by these fangs.
The tall city gate is made of hundreds of thousands of kilograms of precious bronze melted gold. On the city wall directly above, dozens of thick ancient chains are used to bind the head of a ferocious demonic dragon that is ten feet in size. Below the dragon head
Surrounded by six slightly smaller dragon heads - this is the head of an extremely powerful seven-headed demon dragon!
Three thousand years ago, the great lord of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty, Beizheng Emperor, split open the Shenjin Mountain with his sword. From there, he sent his army northward and unexpectedly entered the extremity of the Shenjin Mountain, completely disrupting the layout of the Seven Kills Division, the largest tribe of the demon clan at that time.
The monsters they killed were retreating steadily.
The Great Emperor of the Northern Expedition even intercepted the seven-headed demon dragon, the leader of the Seven Killers, a thousand miles south of the Styx River with a single sword.
The Netherworld River, with its pale yellow water, has a huge suppressive effect on the human monks within a range of three thousand miles. The seven demon dragons are known as the strongest of the demon clan. The light and thunder of that battle penetrated thirty thousand miles, and the sky and the earth turned pale.
, Yuan Neng is as powerful as the ocean tide, and all the monks within a hundred thousand miles are unable to cast spells for three months!
According to the historical records of the Hongwu Dynasty, on the seventh day of the war, the battlefield was covered with dust for thousands of miles, and no one except the Beizheng Emperor and the seven demon dragons could stand in it. On the forty-ninth day, shocking thunder fell, and the earth cracked.
The sky is sinking, like the end of an era.
Emperor Beizheng had seventy-nine scars all over his body, his imperial armor was broken, and one arm was broken. Only the sword of the emperor in his hand still shone brightly, shining through the past and present!
There was a chain tied to his severed arm, and the huge demon dragon's head was tied to the other end of the chain. He staggered out of the mountain, and millions of soldiers knelt down and shouted long live!
He made an order on the spot to name the canyon he cut open with his sword Tianduan Gorge. He built Huangtai Fort at the mouth of the canyon and set up a border town to guard the Seven Kills for generations.
The head of the demon dragon has been placed on the city gate since the day Huangtai Fort was built. The powerful aura of the demon dragon has always permeated Tianduan Gorge, deterring monsters that invade Huangtai Fort for generations.
That battle established the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty's position as the dominant hegemon among the seven human races on the east bank of the Ling River for thousands of years!
However, after three thousand years of ups and downs, the inevitable luxury and decline of the great nation will follow.
The Seven Kills Division that the Northern Expedition Emperor suppressed back then could not raise its head, but in the past hundred years, the emperor's remaining power has dissipated, and the sharp and bright Emperor's Sword has been sheathed for many years, and has long been obscured. The Seven Kills Division has successively produced several powerful
The great leader is growing in strength and has surpassed the age of the Seven Demonic Dragons.
Huangtai Fort has been in constant battles in recent years and has been in danger several times!
Behind Huangtai Fort, a prosperous market has formed over the past three thousand years, with numerous merchants coming and going, no less than a county town.
But after several battles, the place became obviously deserted, with only a few hundred people left, doing some lucrative business with the people in the military town at the risk of losing their heads.
Just after Shenshi, a bearded corps commander burst into the barracks, gnawing on an apple. His lips clicked, his feet clicked, and he woke up two subordinates who were taking a nap: "It's your turn, get out of here."
Get up!" The hand holding the apple only had three fingers, and the index finger and middle finger were chopped off.
The two soldiers muttered, turned over and didn't bother to pay attention. The corps commander unceremoniously threw the remaining half of the apple at one of them. The man grabbed it without raising his head, but unexpectedly the apple exploded with a pop.
, icy blue light fell down like raindrops - there was a Taoist "Freezing Rain and Ice Sun" hidden in it, which detonated, and the man woke up with a jolt.
The freezing technique "Freezing Rain and Bingyang" comes from the secret biography of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty's Military Department, "The Record of the Extremely Cold Sword". Thirty burning points are available.
In the Central Plains and Jiangnan areas of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty, this level of martial arts was enough to support a small family; he could also serve as a sentry officer in other camps of Huangtai Fort, but in the "Wolf Barracks", he could only serve as a corps commander.
The power of this technique can instantly freeze a first-level beast, but the soldier Zhou Kou only shuddered and got up. He got up and cursed in anger: "Damn you old man, let me seize the opportunity."
, chop off all three of your remaining fingers!"
A long and narrow scar on his face went through his left eye, almost clawing out the entire eyeball. His upper body was naked, and the strong muscles on his chest and back were covered with ferocious scratches. The whole person looked like
Fierce and brilliant.
The corps commander had already kicked off the bed legs of another soldier, Wang Jiu, and Wang Jiu rolled off the bed with a click.
Even after he fell to the ground, he was still lazy, turning over and trying to continue sleeping. Maybe he was fat because of his laziness. The captain stepped forward and stepped on his head. His round head looked like
It was completely crushed like a glutinous rice dumpling, and its facial features were horribly squeezed together.
Wang Jiu grunted as he was crushed, and opened the captain's feet in dissatisfaction: "Okay, okay, get up, okay?" When the captain lifted his feet, his head bounced back.
He shook his head, his eyes were blurred, and he got up and said angrily: "I hope you lose so much in your pants next time you gamble!"
The corporal commander was extremely angry: "You two are just as lazy as asses when you compare yourself with other scholars!"
There is also a young man in the barracks. He is fourteen or fifteen years old. Due to years of experience, he is taller than his peers. His face has traces of the wind and sand in the North, but his features are clear and there is a trace of bookishness between his eyebrows. He has a heroic air.
There is a hint of elegance in it.
Such a person, in this barracks full of strange things, looks very "alternative". He is the "scholar" Song Zheng in the words of the corps leader.
When the corps commander came in, he was reading a book called "The Art of Stinging Thunder", which was also a secret biography of the Ministry of War. When he heard the corps commander's words, he closed the ancient book with a smile, began to put on his armor, and said: "Sir, it's still the same today.
When will we arrive?"
"Old rules." Wu Commander Shi Yi said as he helped him fasten a few copper buckles on the back of the leather armor, and patted his shoulder: "Okay, take the knife and wait for the two tough guys to leave together.
"
The other two soldiers were also putting on armor. Shi Yi and them were fighting and scolding each other while helping them put on their armor. Then Shi Yi stood in front of the three men and shouted like a corps commander: "Test the troops!
"
The four of them opened their right hands together and slapped heavily on the left chest - Shi Yi's palm had two empty fingers, which looked a bit funny.
"Zi——"
The spiritual energy stimulated, from the leather armor to the war knife and sword in his hand, the simple and strange formation was connected, and the spiritual light gradually lit up, proving that the combat equipment was intact. Shi Yi waved his hand: "Let's go!"
