“In what way?” Lu Wuchang couldn’t help but interrupt.
Zhao Fengxian turned around and glanced at him.
Lu Wuchang shuddered and took two steps back with a sheepish smile.
“The Dragon Slaying Platform has a memory.
Zhao Fengxian retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, “Although it’s an inanimate object, it attacks all life that enters it indiscriminately. Remember, life!
“Therefore, all sentient beings can pass.
“And the Dragon Slaying Platform’s attacks aren’t endless. It also needs to be maintained with energy.
“According to what I know, for a certain period of time, the Dragon Slaying Platform will only carry out a limited number of attacks when facing sentient life forms of the same species.
“It means that the nine of us can enter in batches, but only the first three, four, or five will be attacked!
“For those who enter later, the Dragon Slaying Platform would have remembered the life force of the human species and choose to ignore them!”
“Huh?”
Lu Wuchang was shocked.
Bu Qing, Pu Mingyue, and the others were also stunned.
So the famous Dragon Slaying Platform only targeted the first few people in.
Those who entered subsequently would simply be ignored.
This way, the people who entered first would be in great danger.
One wrong move and they would lose their lives.
But there would be no threat for those who go later.
“Then… then who’s going in first?”
Lu Wuchang exhaled and scanned everyone present with flickering eyes.
“Great General Zhao, no matter who enters first, it’s not a solution, is it?” Pu Mingyue said with a smile.
That’s right!
Su Jingxing raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhao Fengxian.
Great General Zhao had only told everyone what was going on with the Dragon Slaying Platform.
The main problem was the loophole with the Dragon Slaying Platform!
Against the same sentient species, the Dragon Slaying Platform wouldn’t attack endlessly.
It would only target the first few or a dozen people who entered first?
This was not a solution.
“Haha.”
Zhao Fengxian smiled brightly. “Don’t worry, Head Pu. I haven’t come to the solution yet. Since we know the characteristics of the Dragon Slaying Platform, we just need to find a few animals of similar physique and drive them in. Wouldn’t that do?”
“Animals?” asked Lu Wuchang, puzzled.
“Yes.”
Zhao Fengxian explained, “Find a few large monkeys and get them to scout the way for us. When the Dragon Slaying Platform stops attacking the monkeys, we’ll extract their blood to cover our bodies. Then, we can enter and pass through successfully.”
So that’s it!
That’s right, those with similar physiques to humans were definitely monkeys.
There were also many monkeys in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Capture a dozen of them to be the vanguard leading the way would perfectly dispel the threat.
This method was indeed very simple.
Of course, the prerequisite was knowing the loophole of the Dragon Slaying Platform.
Zhao Fengxian only knew because he had experienced it once.
If no one else had encountered it, how could they know?
If Zhao Fengxian had not come with them during this search for the legacy underground palace, after discovering Dragon Slaying Platform, they would either brace themselves, take a huge risk and charge in directly, enduring as long as they could.
Or they could retreat and return to the surface.
As for destroying the Dragon Slaying Platform, putting aside that that was impossible, even if it was possible, they couldn’t do that.
This was because if the Dragon Slaying Platform was destroyed, there was a high chance that the underground palace would collapse along with it.
If the underground palace was gone, what kind of Martial Sage legacy would there be left?!
Therefore, even though Zhao Fengxian’s words seemed like nothing, they had resolved a huge problem.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Jingxing, “Li Jing” was the only person present whom Zhao Fengxian was seeing for the first time, and that he knew everyone else, he wouldn’t have shared this piece of information on the loophole.
If news that Dragon Slaying Platform had a limited number of attacks got out, it would only benefit others.
Firstly, there were very few Dragon Slaying Platforms. Secondly, since it concerned the legacy of the Martial Sage, Zhao Fengxian couldn’t care less.
That was why he directly provided a solution.
Now that the solution was out, the rest was much simpler.
Gu Zhanlin obeyed and returned the way he came. He found the others who had stayed on the surface and were unable to enter the second level of the underground palace. He got a group of fourth-grade and fifth-grade martial artists to head to the woods around the valley to capture monkeys that had
similar physiques to the nine of them.
30 to 40 monkeys would be a good number.
In less than half an hour, they were done.
These captured monkeys were called Cannibal Monkeys.
‘As the name suggested, they liked to eat humans and were tyrants in the Green Cloud Mountain Range.
Even though the fights between groups were fierce, they were tall and strong.
Once a lone herb collector or injured martial artist was discovered by them, they would rarely be able to escape.
The people who captured them were also venting their anger. It was a good opportunity to get rid of evil for the people.
Dozens of monkeys were tied up with ropes. Gu Zhanlin released his true energy and wrapped them up. He floated them in the air and brought them back to the third level of the underground palace, at the entrance to the Dragon Slaying Platform.
Then, in batches, the monkeys were driven into the passageway of the Dragon Slaying Platform in batches.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
The dark-skinned, ferocious-looking, and bloodthirsty Cannibal Monkeys were dismembered in less than three seconds after entering the passageway.
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
The second Cannibal Monkey was quickly dismembered.
Plkch! Plkch!
The third monkey.
The fourth.
The fifth.
One at a time. Soon, ten Cannibal Monkeys were dismembered in the passageway.
The remaining Cannibal Monkeys peed their pants.
It wasn’t a metaphor, they really lost control.
None of them dared to bare their fangs and snarl with ferocious expressions anymore.
Instead, they curled up on the ground and tried to run out. However, they were tightly restrained by true energy and released both feces and urine.
Pu Mingyue, Bu Qing, and the others frowned in confusion.
“Impossible.”
Zhao Fengxian said in a low voice, “The attack of the Dragon Slaying Platform cannot be endless. There must be a limit to it. Continue to release the Cannibal Monkeys!”
“If 10 isn’t enough, then 20!”
“Got it,” replied Gu Zhanlin. He wrapped his true energy around a Cannibal Monkey who was paralyzed with fear and threw it into the passageway.
Ahhhh!
Plkch! Plkch! Plkch!
The crescent blades danced in the air, and the Cannibal Monkey was dismembered.
Gu Zhanlin continued to grab another monkey and threw it into the passageway.
Plkch! Plkch!
Another one.
Another one.
‘When the 18th monkey was dismembered,
and the 19th Cannibal Monkey was thrown into the corridor, the terrifying crescent blades suddenly stopped dancing and stopped shooting out.
“It worked!”
Zhao Fengxian looked at the Cannibal Monkey lying in a pool of blood in the corridor like mud and let out a breath.
Seeing this, the others also relaxed.
18 Cannibal Monkeys.
It actually attacked 18 times before stopping.
If they didn’t send in these vanguards, all nine of them would be attacked when they entered.
“Finally done.”
Lu Wuchang sighed. “Next, we’ll extract monkey blood, right? I’ll go first!”
With that, he rubbed his hands and walked towards a Cannibal Monkey.
No one would pity the Cannibal Monkey.
such monkeys were savage and bloodthirsty.. They loved to secretly eat children, and other animal cubs!
