Gu Shuo used the Withered Cicada Technique to adjust his cultivation to the peak of the first level of Nascent Soul, then put away the Liuhe Pan and the Isolation Formation, came out of the tree hole, and flew towards the Dayun Lake.
Dayun Lake.
It is a large lake. The lake is covered with thick fog all year round, like floating clouds, so it is called Dayun Lake.
At this time, four people were sitting cross-legged on the shore of Dayun Lake. They were Zeng Dong and the others.
At this time, the faces of the five people were a little ugly. They were still far away from the Holy Mountain of the Monster Clan in the West, and there were only two people missing from the six. Feng Rusong just returned. That was to attract the Monster Clan monks. Facing the Monster Clan monks alone, life and death would be difficult.
He is a brave man.
But what happened to Gu Shuo?
They all arrived at Dayun Lake safely, and Gu Shuo was the last one, how could something happen?
But it disappeared!
Zeng Dong and Zhou Hua did not make eye contact with each other, but they were communicating spiritually at this time.
"Do you think Gu Shuo escaped with some excuse?"
"It's not impossible. On the one hand, he should know your identity, and he should also know the identity of Feng Rusong. This mission was originally a narrow escape from death, and together with you and Feng Rusong, it was basically a near-death. He escaped with an excuse,
Not surprising.”
"What should we do?"
"Hmph! Even if he escapes, can he still live?
If we don't accept it, will he dare to go back?
As long as you go back, you will definitely be executed. If you don't go back, you will become a rogue cultivator, and you will also be a wanted rogue cultivator, and you will die in the end."
"But I'm not willing to give in! Because I'm not sure he will really die!"
"Damn, what a coward!"
Suddenly, the five people stood up and formed a tacit understanding of a battle formation that could be attacked or defended. They looked to the left. Then their expressions were stunned.
Gu Shuo walked out of the forest and walked towards them on the shore of Dayuan Lake. Zeng Dong and Zhou Hua looked stunned, while He Ping and Mao Fei looked happy. Gu Shuo walked up to them:
"Senior Brother Feng hasn't come back?"
"Where have you been?" Zhou Hua couldn't help but ask, his expression gloomy.
Gu Shuo said calmly: "I saw the demon monk suddenly cutting in front of me, so I changed the direction decisively, so it was delayed for a few days."
He turned to Zeng Dong: "Senior Brother Zeng, Senior Brother Feng hasn't come back yet?"
Zeng Dong shook his head: "No, we will wait for another two days. You did a good job."
Gu Shuo shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, it's all for the mission. Senior Brother Feng can lead the demon clan away, but it can't be because I was discovered by the demon clan and exposed everyone."
Zeng Dong nodded, and now he no longer doubted Gu Shuo. If Gu Shuo really wanted to escape, he would not come back. He was still suspicious before, but facts speak louder than words.
The five people stopped talking and each sat down cross-legged. Gu Shuo, He Ping, and Mao Fei secretly communicated with each other. Gu Shuo understood their experiences along the way and had been waiting here for nearly five days. But He Ping and Mao Fei did not.
When asked if he was the man in the black robe and mask, Gu Shuo naturally couldn't explain.
Two days later.
The faces of the five people were all ugly, and Feng Rusong did not come back. No one suspected that Feng Rusong had escaped. He was chased by so many demon monks at that time, so he probably died. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Zeng Dong.
On the face. The current captain is Zeng Dong.
Before reaching the Holy Mountain, one person had already been lost.
Zeng Dong had been waiting for the wind to enter the pine for a few days, and also thought about the next action. At this time, he said: "We will walk through the stars and fall into the lake. The distance between the two people will be shortened to one thousand meters, so that we can concentrate at any time."
Everyone nodded. Then they stood up. Zeng Dong was the first to rush away, followed by Zhou Hua, He Ping, Mao Fei, and finally Gu Shuo.
The misty forest is like a maze. Fortunately, they have a map of the misty forest. There are five paths in the map. Now Zeng Dong has chosen one to explore the path in front, and others have followed behind.
There are also many, many monsters in the misty forest, and they are very powerful. Fortunately, the map given this time is correct. This path avoids all powerful monsters, and even encounters the monsters that occasionally pass by.
Dong also hid and evaded as much as he could, but when he couldn't, he jumped out and killed them. Fortunately, those monsters or monsters that accidentally wandered out of their territory were not as strong as Zeng Dong, so everyone walked out without any danger.
Misty forest.
Three hundred miles away from the misty forest is Xingluo Lake.
Starfall Lake.
It is said that a group of meteors of different sizes fell from the sky, smashing more than a thousand large craters of different sizes into the ground, and then the lake was formed. From a distance, it looks like more than a thousand mirrors embedded in the ground.
It is very beautiful. In the Xingluo Lake, the lotus flowers grow all over the Xingluo Lake, making it a green area.
You can smell the fragrance of lotus flowers from a distance.
There are no monsters or monsters in this area of Xingluo Lake. However, there are water monsters in the lake. Every year when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, monsters come to pick lotus seeds, and a lot of them are killed by the water monsters in the lake. So, no
During the season when lotus seeds are ripe, there are almost no monsters or beasts to be seen in Xingluo Lake.
At this time of year, the lotus seeds are already born, but not yet mature. As far as the eye can see, the endless green lotus leaves are swaying, but it is difficult to see the monster monks and monsters. As long as you hide the water monsters in the lake, this road is opposite.
Much safer.
Zeng Dong restrained his breath and flew silently among the lotus leaves, which obscured his figure. As long as he could conceal the water monster in the lake, he would easily pass through the Xingluo Lake.
Everyone was careful and did not require fast speed. They required to restrain their breath and not attract the attention of the water monster in the lake. Gu Shuo, who was flying quietly, had a change of color on his face. When he flew past the first star on the lake, he felt the consciousness.
The vibration of Zhou Tianbaolu in the sea seemed to want to open automatically, which frightened Gu Shuo so much. He suppressed the abnormal movement of Zhoutian Baolu and flew over it cautiously, while thinking quickly in his mind.
Why does Zhou Tianbaolu move strangely?
He knew that the Zhou Tian Baolu was not refined by the human race, but was obtained by human monks occasionally. No one knew where it came from. But what the owners of countless generations of Zhou Tian Baolu have learned are two effects. One is that it can bring together many people.
The energy is gathered into the host of the Zhou Tian Baolu, causing the host's strength to increase dramatically. The second effect is that it will store the heavenly insights of past masters, and infuse it into the host when the Zhou Tianbaolu is opened. It has never appeared before.
When something happens, at least Gu Shuo doesn't know about it.
Therefore, he did not dare to activate Zhou Tianbaolu, so he could only suppress it.
Once started, there is no telling what good or bad luck will happen!
"call……"
Gu Shuo exhaled softly and finally crossed Xingluo Lake safely. He looked back at Xingluo Lake and remembered this place.
I will always look for an opportunity to visit in the future.
Zeng Dong in front had stopped, and everyone approached one after another. Then they found a place to repair, and Zeng Dong arranged the next path. After repairing, everyone continued to sneak.
More than ten days later.
Six people stood on the edge of a plain. Zeng Dong frowned and said: "This is a place that cannot be avoided. If you want to reach the Holy Mountain in the West, you must pass here. And it is empty and there is no hiding place.
But after passing through this plain land, there is the Xiling Mountains, which will be much safer. This is the most dangerous place before we reach the holy mountains in the west.
According to the data, there are no demon monks in this plain, but there are many demon beasts. We should try our best to avoid fighting with demon beasts. Once we fight, it will arouse the ideas of the demon monks in the Xiling Mountains. Let alone reach the Holy Mountain.
If we complete our mission, I'm afraid our lives will depend on this plain.
We walked at night and dug holes in the ground before dawn to hide ourselves. When night fell, we started moving forward again. It was estimated that we could cross over in seven days.
These seven days will be the seven days of our life and death. Everyone must be careful.
If someone is exposed, I hope to lure away the demon monks like Brother Feng did. If I am exposed, the next captain will be Zhou Hua.
Does anyone have any questions?"
"No!" Everyone shook their heads.
"Walk!"
In the night.
Five human figures were running across the plain at extremely fast speeds, leaving blurry afterimages in the moonlight. Zeng Dong's path was not a straight one, so when he spotted monsters, he avoided detours.
Before dawn, everyone dug a hole, jumped into the hole, and released Taoist magic to backfill the soil.
On the second night, he emerged from the soil and continued to plunder.
The second night was peaceful, the third night was peaceful.
Night three.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. To be honest, this is not a good weather for running at night. The night is bright.
Then……
The exposure was very sudden!
It was a nighthawk, flying across the moonlit night, and saw Zeng Dong and the others.
"cracking!"
This long cry spread in the silent night sky, and it was as far away as you can imagine. Then the nighthawk followed them high in the sky. Zeng Dong made a quick decision and suddenly shot towards the sky, drawing a line at the same time.
Sword. That sword cuts through the night sky like a ray of light.
"puff!"
The nighthawk was split into two halves, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Zeng Dong's figure fell sharply towards the ground, and he shouted in a low voice:
"Hurry up and dig a hole and hide...it's too late!"
"cracking!"
The calls of countless nighthawks merged into a mighty force, and the night sky was like a dark cloud quickly covering this side.
Without Zeng Dong's order, Gu Shuo and the others quickly gathered towards Zeng Dong, and at this time Zeng Dong also said urgently:
"Quickly, try your best to rush into the Xiling Mountains."
Then he flew towards the end of the plain like a bolt of lightning. Gu Shuo and others also flew quickly, but everyone knew what was going on.
impossible!
This is the fourth night. The plan is that it will take seven nights to reach the Xiling Mountains, and there is still a distance of three nights.
How is it possible to arrive!
As Gu Shuo flew by, he took out a high-grade magic sword and held it in his hand, looking up at the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky began to tilt towards them, giving people a very depressing feeling, as if the sky was pouring down.
"boom……"
The battle broke out instantly, and the five people launched a powerful attack. The dark clouds were crushed and blood rained down.
People like Gu Shuo didn't dare to stop at all. They were killing and fleeing at the same time, and they were fleeing straight towards the Xiling Mountains. At this time, there was no need to avoid anything. They had to use the shortest distance and the shortest time to go straight to Xiling.
mountains.
However, they are really not as fast as the nighthawk.
The Nighthawk's strength is its speed. It keeps swooping down from the sky, then soars up, and swoops down again, just like a vortex of black clouds, constantly tilting down.
What's even more dangerous is that the sound of killing is getting louder in the silent night. Moreover, the smell of blood is spreading, and it has begun to attract the monsters on the plain, running towards this side.
It is conceivable that in the future, a tide of beasts may form due to this. Once a tide of beasts forms, it will be a huge crisis for Gu Shuo and the five of them. They may not be able to get out of the plain and die here.
The possibility of rushing into the Xiling Mountains before the beast tide forms is very slim.
In the past, Gu Shuo and the others would run at night and hide during the day. This would still take three nights. Now even if they run during the day, it would still take a day and a half. But there are still nighthawk attacks, and there may be attacks from beast tides in the future.
Well. How is it possible to rush into the Xiling Mountains in one and a half days?
It will take at least two days.
However, running away and killing for two consecutive days and two nights was a great test for them. Besides this test, there were also demon monks.
Two consecutive days of killing will not attract the demon clan?
Gu Shuo himself didn’t believe it.
"Qiang!"
With a crisp sound, a stream of light was seen flowing out from Zeng Dong's eyebrows, turning into a moon essence wheel, like a crescent moon. Zeng Dong's voice sounded again:
"You go, Captain Zhou Hua, I will lure Nighthawk away."
"Chi chi chi..."
The moon essence wheel quickly enlarged in the air, circling and slashing continuously, killing several nighthawks. Zeng Dong's body flew in another direction. He did not fly fast. He killed while flying, attracting the nighthawks.
.And the four Zhou Hua people on the ground flew quickly towards the distance.
Zhou Hua was very fast, and He Ping was not slow either, but Mao Fei was not as fast. He Ping just wanted to turn around and help Mao Fei, but saw Gu Shuo flying over, grabbing Mao Fei's shoulder and stepping on it.
Qingyun quickly caught up with He Ping.
He Ping was a little surprised. He knew that Gu Shuo had made a step forward in his cultivation, and Gu Shuo was only at the first level of Nascent Soul now, so he shouldn't be so fast. But when he thought of Gu Shuo's legend and his record of being able to jump to the next level and challenge, he felt that it was natural. Four
Individuals fled. Three nighthawks chased after them, and they were instantly killed by Zhou Hua. Then everyone continued to flee. Half an hour later, there were no more nighthawks in the sky, and the shaking of the earth was getting farther and farther. It seemed that
They were lured away by Zeng Dong. Everyone kept running away until just before dawn, when the four of them skillfully dug holes, jumped in, backfilled them, and set up isolation arrays.
Silence returned to the plain!
The four of them were practicing in the pit. In order not to cause any traces of their practice, Zhou Hua and three of them held spiritual stones in their hands to practice, while Gu Shuo was much more arrogant and directly practiced with the Liuhe Disk. His current state is still very weak and he needs to continue to practice.
He cultivates on earth to consolidate his realm. Of course, in the process of cultivation, he also insists on understanding the way of heaven and deriving the follow-up techniques of Tai Chi.
