The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 534 - 237: Kneel Down, Unworthy Descendants!_2

Ye Hanjun seemed lost in thought, then put the key down and started looking for other images.

Soon, he located Grass Frog Country and Red Frog Country.

The King of Grass Frog Country, Tang Di, and the Crown Prince, Tang Cheng, were currently being escorted by a group of wild beasts as they crossed a dark river.

Sharp-toothed monster fish were constantly jumping up from the river. A single one wouldn’t be a concern, but when there were thousands, even the Wheel of Life Embryo would be in danger.

"They’re going steady, probably at round 54?"

"Comparatively, Blue Frog Kingdom seems to have a slight lead, round 56...that’s a bit surprising."

Ye Hanjun nodded in agreement, remaining silent.

He continued flipping through the images and after three minutes, he finally found Red Frog Country.

Tang Qingling, who had secretly been watching with him, couldn’t help opening her mouth in surprise.

"Round 65? Red Frog Country is so far ahead, they’re sure to win!"

"But this round is so terrifying. It’s full of poisonous buds, one careless move and all your previous efforts will be wasted."

Ye Hanjun, who had been staring for a long time, gave a slight smile.

"Master Pan, I’ll leave this key to you for now."

"With the limited time we have, your only goal is to find a way to bypass the ’deconstruction’ and alter the closing time of the Formation."

Seeing Pan Zhong’s confused expression, Ye Hanjun began to explain:

"Specifically, you should not research other Formation patterns at first, just focus on deciphering this dark yellow one."

"With the help of the key, the difficulty of your task will be reduced, but you must remember one thing, the arrangement of the Formation pattern can be modified by at most one tenth, and should not be significantly altered."

Ye Hanjun spoke quickly, expounding his understanding of the method for tampering with the Formation pattern.

No matter what, Pan Zhong was the 4th Order "Master of Array", with his guidance, he is more than capable of accomplishing this task.

"What about me? What should I do?"

Seeing Lord Han ready to leave after finishing his speech, Tang Qingling gathered her courage and asked.

"You?" Ye Hanjun paused in his steps, "You stay here, honestly study the Heritage Scroll, and don’t go anywhere else."

"Ah..."

Tang Qingling’s scalp tingled, studying next to the body of the ancestor? This was too diligent.

"Hmm...I’ve decided when I get back I’ll quiz you. If you slack off it’s on you."

With a wave of his hand, Ye Hanjun pushed open a heavy stone door and strode out.

"Clang!"

Tang Qingling fell on her butt, surrounded by gold and silver jewelry, glittering and shining.

But her soft and seductive face was paler than ever.

"Study...I have to study in this hellish place?"

"May the ancestor bless me...may the ancestor bless me...please give me a new brain...I really can’t process all this!!"

Clutching her head, she ignored Pan Zhong’s fervent muttering.

The teary-eyed Tang Qingling, with trembling hands, unrolled the scroll, her eyes still blank.

...

...

"What round was that just now? Are we close to the end?"

In the darkness, an old man with a profound and dignified voice asked.

Another steady voice, accompanied by the clanging sounds of armor, respectfully answered:

"Your Majesty, if our calculations are correct, we just passed round 70, and we are now entering round 71."

"Are there still 11 rounds?"

The old man could hardly believe it, "What on earth was the ancestor thinking, wouldn’t it be better to just leave the heritage treasure in the tomb?"

"Why do we need these pointless tests that only weaken our national power and offer no benefits?"

A group of people who followed lowered their heads, daring not to question.

"No matter, there are no signs of other people’s activities along the way and the occasional remains we do see are old bones left from previous explorations, not from the current Red Frog Country or Blue Frog Country."

"Your Majesty, this is natural."

Someone heaved a sigh of relief and took over the conversation:

"The Blue Frog and Grass Frog have been fighting for over two years, and only we have kept out of the conflict, constantly recuperating."

"We have been preparing for this ruins expedition for a long time, not only studying the strategies left by our predecessors, but also preparing all sorts of Magical Tools in order to ensure absolute success."

"Hmm." The dignified old man seemed to nod and comfortingly said:

"Even if the old king of the Blue Frog Kingdom were alive, I would still be the strongest among the three kings, and I am the only one, the true heir of the Tang family who holds the power of the C-class ’Frog Sorcerer’."

"This time, as long as we can get the treasures left by the ancestor, I think there is a fairly good chance that I can reach the 5th Rank before my life runs out."

"At that time, the three kingdoms will be reconsolidated under my watch."

"The new dynasty, I’ve changed my mind, the old name should not be used, calling it the ’Red Frog Dynasty’ will sound much better."

"Your Majesty is wise."

A group of Guards responded respectfully.

"Be careful, it’s extremely gloomy ahead, and high-level Undead might be lurking."

A cold female voice rang out, adding to the solemnity of the atmosphere.

King Tang Zheng’s face changed slightly, and he asked in surprise:

"Red Moon, Red Heart, you’re the most powerful in the realm of Fire and the two strongest offerings in our Red Frog Country, what kind of ghouls and spirits can suppress you?"

"Your Majesty, we must not take this lightly, it’s been a long time since I’ve felt a warning from my Spirits, this time the feeling is very strong."

Another low male voice followed, causing everyone to shake off their random thoughts and heighten their guard.

"Drip—dah—"

"Drip—dah—"

At the end of the passage, there was a faint flickering of candlelight.

As they drew closer, a ghastly Skeleton Throne began to take shape.
