"Even fifth-rank Confucian scholars are running away! Hiss! Oh my God, who on earth did you meet?" Hammer took a deep breath, his eyes widened involuntarily, and he examined the two of them from head to toe, full of confusion and shock.

"The peak of the fifth-rank Confucian scholars, or even the lowest level of the sixth-rank Confucian scholars... Could it be that you are the legendary Disha team?!" At this time, a woman standing behind the scarred face had a look of astonishment and suspicion on her face. She looked at Jiang Liunian and Gu Yunzhou carefully, and as if a light bulb had flashed in her head, she finally blurted out the answer with a bit of disbelief in her tone.

"Well, since you all think highly of me, there is no doubt that the two of us are members of the Disha team." Jiang Liunian smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness. At this moment, they were being chased and scattered by the monster tribe. What was there to brag about?

"Oh my God, even you have no choice but to run away. Captain, let's take a detour too!" The woman's guess was confirmed, and she immediately turned to the man with the scar on his face and suggested anxiously.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions darkened, as if shrouded by a dark cloud. Even the fifth-rank scholar had to retreat, so how could this group of sixth- and seventh-rank warriors dare to challenge them lightly? Going forward would only result in more casualties.

"Captain, the situation is not good! There seems to be a large group of monsters approaching us not far away!" A man in charge of alert suddenly raised his voice and reported nervously.

"Oh no! Could it be that the group of monsters from Huangshi Gorge are chasing us? We should leave quickly. Among this group of monsters, there is not only a transformed giant monster, but also a fifth-rank barbarian warrior, and under his command are all third- and fourth-rank elite barbarians!" When Jiang Liunian and Gu Yunzhou heard this, their hearts suddenly became heavy. Their eyes met, full of solemnity.

"Oh my god, this is such bad luck! Captain, we have to run away as fast as we can!" Hammer was so anxious that he jumped up and down, wishing he could turn into a mole and get away with it.

"Did you poke their lair and attract so many monsters to chase you?" Captain Zheng looked at Gu Yunzhou and the others deeply, but did not ask any further questions. He waved his hand to signal the team members to gather quickly and prepare to evacuate immediately.

The other team's faces were extremely gloomy at the moment, as if dark clouds were pressing down on them. It had only been two days since they stepped out of the Seventh Checkpoint, and they hadn't completed any of their missions yet, but their luck suddenly changed and they encountered the most difficult demon team.

Everyone was speechless, each with their own thoughts, but all of them cast their gazes in the direction of the Seventh Level, determined to return and devise a countermeasure. It's worth mentioning that within these two academy teams, there are truly hidden talents and experts galore.

Beside Scarface, a man chanted softly, a lingering aura of literature. A majestic ape materialized from thin air, condensed from the pure power of culture, its aura imposing. The rest of the team, in unison, leaped atop the ape's broad shoulders and sturdy arms. With a long roar and a sudden push of its toes, the ground seemed to tremble. Its massive body soared into the air, carrying the team members like an arrow, streaking through the air and heading straight for its destination. Its speed was astonishing, leaving behind puffs of dust.

Damn, isn’t this a Tarzan from another world? Even Gu Yunzhou, who was concentrating on escaping, was surprised by this scene.

"Brother Yunzhou, and this brother, come up quickly!" Just as they were surprised, a voice of urging was heard. Captain Zheng and several others were crowded on the back of a crane that was also made of literary energy, waving at the two of them.

"Thank you!" Jiang Liunian was delighted and quickly pulled Gu Yunzhou up. The two of them took a few steps together and leaped onto the crane's broad back. As soon as they sat down, the sounds around them became increasingly audible. A unique and unmistakable smell filled the air - it was the unpleasant stench unique to the demon and barbarian tribes.

"The situation is dire. Leave immediately!" Captain Zheng's gaze was sharp. He glanced back, his expression suddenly grim. He urged directly. As his words fell, the crane flapped its wings and soared high, like a streak of flowing cloud, heading straight for the Seventh Pass. Meanwhile, above, the sprinting giant ape seemed to sense the approaching threat from behind. It exerted force on its limbs, accelerating rapidly, and hurtled through the forest like a mountain.

"Wow, one, two, three... there are fifteen barbarian warriors, twelve monsters, a transformed giant monster and a level 5 barbarian carrying a hammer. This pursuit lineup is extremely luxurious. Brother Yun, how on earth did you provoke such guys?" Hammer was obviously a careless person. Even at this moment, he still had the mind to turn around and count the monsters and barbarians behind him.

"Yes, although the demons, barbarians and our human race have always been incompatible, and every confrontation is a fight of life and death, either you fall or I die, however, it is rare for them to pursue us relentlessly for thousands of miles. These guys have always been the most impatient!" Yu Yao looked at the two people in front of him, with curiosity flashing in his eyes, and he was obviously doubtful about Gu Yunzhou's previous explanation.

"Enough, you are all running for your lives, why are you asking questions? You won't have time to chat when we get back to Qilianguan!" Captain Zheng scolded them and interrupted their continued questioning. He was not a fool and of course he knew that there must be a problem, but this was the secret of Gu Yunzhou and Jiang Liunian, and there was no point in asking until he got to the bottom of it.

Gu Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, his tone heavy with emotion. "Captain Zheng, we do have a hidden secret that we haven't shared with you all, but what's at stake is the safety of our human race. Liunian and I are both part of this land, and betrayal is not something we wish to do. However, this matter is too serious, and every word and action requires caution. It's difficult to explain everything in detail right now, so I hope you can understand."

"Even if faced with a life-or-death decision, we only seek to die honorably on the battlefield. As members of the human race, we vow to defend the peace of this land and its people with our flesh and blood. These demons and barbarians are indeed heading our way, and this unexpected turn of events has inadvertently dragged you into the storm. It's truly a helpless move. Their persistent pursuit of us is definitely not motivated by any tantalizing profit. In fact, we've stumbled upon the demons and barbarians' secret plan, and to prevent the leakage of this crucial intelligence, they're pursuing us relentlessly, determined to eradicate us completely!"

Jiang Liunian also spoke, his eyes determined as he gazed at the approaching demonic army from behind. He knew in his heart that escape was futile and they would be caught up sooner or later. So, he decided to tell them part of the truth, hoping that in the coming crisis, everyone would put aside their suspicions and work together. Then he would let Gu Yunzhou take the opportunity to leave and bring back the news.
