Chapter 278 Chapter 273: Middle Ages

After late autumn, the weather in northern Xinjiang became colder and colder. When the soldiers who got up in the morning came back, their armor would be covered with a layer of frost and would last for a long time indoors before melting.

Even though Gu Fan was a warrior of Shentian, the energy of heaven and earth was circulating all over his body and maintaining the temperature of his body. When he came to this northern border, he still felt the biting cold. He consciously put on a cloak outside the armor when he went out. Gu Fan's armor was given by Guan Haotian, the Hou of Yingbei. It was a refined magic weapon. After recognizing the master, it became extremely suitable. Moreover, it could be scaled with Gu Fan's intention, saving a lot of trouble of unloading armor.

Gu Fan put on his armor, but when he walked out of the tent, he found that in the cold wind, two figures were already waiting for him. It turned out to be Xie Yuxiang and Meng Wuhen. These two warriors with the strength of Shentian level stood in the trembling cold wind.

Gu Fan smiled faintly and walked towards the two of them: "Today is the day when I fight with Situ Mengming. Why do you feel that you are more nervous than me?"

Xie Yuxiang and Meng Wuhen looked at each other for a moment, smiled and said, "It's better to get up early if you can't sleep."

Meng Wuhen also said, "Yes, I was still on the horse's back at this time yesterday."

Gu Fan stepped forward and said, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Meng, if you hadn't helped you, you would never have been able to achieve such a great achievement yesterday."

"The little marquis is so serious." Xie Yuxiang and Meng Wuhen said one after another.

At this moment, outside the gate of Yunyi's army, a knight galloped under the gate, but saw the man wearing a red big armor wrapped in armor, with a pattern of flame embroidered on the big army, which was the costume of a senior officer of the Yantian army. The man strangled the war horse outside the gate and jumped down. He led the war horse toward Gu Fan.

"Commander Situ came very early!" Gu Fan greeted the general from afar.

The Yantian Army general walked up to Gu Fan, slowly removed his helmet, and said to Gu Fan: "Master Gu, are you interested in changing places to compete with me?"

"Okay, I'm worried that I won't be able to use it." Gu Fan nodded and said, "Let's follow the commander of Situ!"

"Okay. Please follow me!" Situ Mengming turned over the horse, and Gu Fan also took the reins handed to him by the guard next to him, jumped and sat on the horse's back. The two horses disappeared from everyone's sight soon.

Situ Mengming rode his horse through a frozen tundra, and a tall building suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. The structure of the entire building was in the shape of a bowl, surrounded by towering walls, made of neat stones. Even after erosion by wind and rain, moss only grew on the surface, and there was no sign of collapse.

Situ Mengming took Gu Fan to ride a horse around the entire building, and then walked along a ramp to the stands. "Master Gu, do you know what this building is for?" Situ Mengming asked Gu Fan while walking.

Gu Fan saw steps around him, obviously there were stands, and the flat ground below was extremely wide, almost square. What was strange was that even though there was a wasteland around him, there was not even a single weed on the open ground below, and there was still a flat stone ground. This building has been at least several hundred years. After mottled time, there was no sign of wind and frost erosion.

Gu Fan thought for a moment and said, "It should be a Colosseum or something."

Situ Mengming smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is indeed very talented, so you might as well guess who built this Colosseum?"

Gu Fan stood on the Colosseum and looked at the entire building by bird's eye view. Seeing that the style of the building was very different from that of the Beidou Dynasty. The Quanrong people had not yet had the technology to build stone buildings, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "This was not built by craftsmen in my dynasty, but I don't know who built it?"

Situ Mengming smiled, raised his horse whip and pointed to the square below and said, "Speaking up, maybe you won't believe it. This is the Colosseum of the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages was the heyday of martial arts, and the climate was much warmer and humid than it is now. The northern border where we are located was the center of the politics and culture of the Middle Ages. It was only later that the climate suddenly became colder and it was abandoned."

"Wouldn't that mean that those Quanrong, which could not even be built in stone houses, are descendants of medieval humans?" Gu Fan had many stories in his previous life, but his understanding of ancient secrets was only limited to the "Tian Demon Treasure Mirror" given to him by the Heavenly Demon Lord Ye Xuanji. He had been stationed in Cangyuan for many years and had no time to understand the humanities and geography of other three borders. Now, when Situ Mengming talked about this secret, he was a little surprised.

"Yes, all the commander-level officers who have been transferred to the Yantian Army will know these secrets. In order to know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles." Situ Mengming sighed and said, "I thought this was just a fictitious legend. It was not until I saw this magnificent Colosseum that I realized that compared with the Middle Ages, we have not made progress, but lagged behind..."

"What does Commander Situ say?" Gu Fan sighed suddenly when he saw Situ Mengming sighing and couldn't help asking.

"President Gu, please follow me!" Situ Mengming took Gu Fan into a secret lattice below the stage, walked along the corridor for a moment, and when he came out of the entrance, the two had already arrived on the square on the lower floor of the Colosseum.

When Gu Fan stood in the square, he felt that the square was much wider than looking from above. Moreover, the entire ground was covered with neat floor tiles and there was not a single weed, which was amazing.

"Let's wait." Situ Mengming stretched out his hand to stop Gu Fan and stopped him from walking forward.

After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and shot out a Qi sword. Unexpectedly, the Qi sword was swallowed up in the void before it touched the ground.

"This...what's going on?" Gu Fan couldn't help asking.

"The ancient commander, this is the wisdom and power of the medieval people. Here is a super wall covering the entire square. It can not only absorb the external force, prevent someone from interfering in the battle situation, the victory or defeat of the left and right fights, but also neutralize the power inside the super wall and reduce the destructive power generated by the collision of martial arts forces in the super wall. All of these absorbed forces are absorbed in the super wall..." Situ Mengming's tone was already filled with admiration: "So even though the medieval era has passed, the super wall here still exists..."

"It's amazing, it's amazing." Gu Fan also felt a sense of respect for the ancient humans when he heard Situ Mengming's explanation.

Situ Mengming said again: "This place has been used as a place for competition by officers above our command level, because warriors above the age level are all over the place. If there is no ban, it is easy to be injured by accident."

"No wonder you want to bring me here..." Gu Fan nodded slightly. Suddenly he seemed to think of something, frowned and asked Situ Mengming: "Wait, can you say that when you compete in this extreme wall, the power that you burst out with moves and magic weapons was absorbed into this extreme wall?"

"That's natural." Situ Mengming disagreed: "Otherwise, if these forces are leaked out, they will definitely destroy the surrounding buildings. What's wrong, Commander Gu?"

Gu Fan's eyes at the square in front of him had already expressed a bit of fear. A wall that had accumulated a thousand years of power was as terrible as some old and immortal cultivators who had lived for thousands of years. It was probably still stored in it the power of many star-level powerful people. If it exploded suddenly...

"What's wrong? Commander Gu?" Situ Mengming couldn't help asking when Gu Fan's face changed slightly.

"Commander Situ, are the Quanrong people really descendants of medieval humans?" Gu Fan turned his head and asked seriously.

Situ Mengming nodded and said, "It should be impossible to be wrong. It is said that there are some medieval martial arts among the Quanrong people. Their Wolf-Organ Guard is an assassin trained with medieval martial arts. There has been a legend of the awakening of the divine veins among the Quanrong people. It is said that every five hundred years, the blood of the divine descendants will awaken in the body of the Quanrong people..." Situ Mengming continued, "This is also one of the reasons why the Quanrong people in the northern border are the weakest, but our dynasty still stationed 500,000 troops to guard the Shanhaiguan line. But if the legend is true, the medieval bloodline among the Quanrong people awakens and a star master emerges, and the 500,000 army is destroyed in the blink of an eye."

"Master Situ, you are too worried." Gu Fan saw that his words actually made Situ Mengming worried, so he had to comfort him.

"I hope so, let's go in!" Situ Mengming stretched out his hand to the left and said, "Please come with me! This is the only entrance to the Jibi."

As soon as Gu Fan and Situ Mengming bowed their heads, they entered the extreme wall.

After entering, Gu Fan realized that this place was much wider than the sight, so vast that the horizon could almost be seen. Obviously, the magic of shrinking the ground into an inch was also incorporated into this extreme wall.

Situ Mengming retreated backwards, and in a flash, he had already distanced from Gu Fan for hundreds of meters. He said to Gu Fan from afar: "Master Gu, you don't have to be polite to take action here. Please show your full strength!"

"Then please ask Commander Situ for advice!" Gu Fan knew that Situ Mengming used this battle as a trial to judge whether Gu Fan could be loyal to him, so he not only wanted to win, but also to win beauty. Only in this way can this fierce general of Yantian Army convince him!

Situ Mengming suddenly threw the scabbard out and grabbed the falling long sword with his right hand. The wind around him was first messy, and then neatly rolled towards Gu Fan in the distance.
