"Come, come, everyone, let me introduce you to a new friend. By the way, what's your name?" Wu Xiaofeng smiled cheerfully at first, but in the end he found out awkwardly that until now, he still didn't know Gu Zheng's name.
"Gu Zheng." Gu Zheng said coldly at this time, and the anger in his heart has not completely dissipated yet.
"Yes, yes, Gu Zheng, let's get to know each other." Wu Xiaofeng laughed and slapped Gu Zheng on the shoulder with a familiar hand. The huge force almost staggered Gu Zheng.
A wry smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face, it really hurt.
Six Monkeys and the other five looked at each other in confusion. A moment ago they were fighting for life and death, but now they have become teammates in the same trench with themselves. For a moment, they did not answer the phone, and the atmosphere became cold.
In the end, the only female Situ stood out.
"Um, hello, fellow Taoist Gu, I'm Situ Liu Ying." Although he was very embarrassed, he finished his sentence at least.
"Hello." Gu Zheng greeted them openly and openly, without any arrogance as expected. Maybe it was the harmless smile. Everyone put down their guard and introduced themselves to Gu Zheng one after another.
"Third Class A, Lu Ren"
"Wuding, Zhang Shaohua"
"Two tigers, tiger head"
"Liu Monkey, He Ran, but you can just call me Liu Monkey. Everyone calls me that every time anyway." Liu Monkey said with enthusiasm.
The others had just been defeated by Gu Zheng and were not in the mood to be enthusiastic. Only Liuhou didn't think so much. Having a strong teammate was the best thing for him.
"Since we all know each other, that's the best. Isn't it true that we don't know each other without fighting?" Wu Xiaofeng started to laugh, as if everything had passed.
Gu Zheng calmly took Wu Xiaofeng's hand from his shoulder and looked at the four people on the opposite side who were injured. It seemed that the battle just now had affected them, and now it looked more serious.
After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng took out a bottle of elixir and handed it over. The fragrance of the elixir could be smelled through the mouth of the bottle. After taking a sip, it seemed that the injury was much better.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Wu Xiaofeng stuffed them into his arms without any courtesy, "They are not seriously injured. They need to be nursed for a few more days. Don't waste it."
Maybe everyone except Gu Zheng knew the value of this bottle of elixir, and even Wu Xiaofeng couldn't refuse it.
Seeing their desire and a hint of indescribable embarrassment, Wu Xiaofeng took it back for them.
It seemed to have some effect. Gu Zheng felt that everyone looked at him kindly.
"There's me, there's me." Xiaochong became a little anxious when he saw that Gu Zheng didn't introduce himself, and immediately started a fuss on the spot.
"Is this your pet?" Wu Xiaofeng was very curious as to why Gu Zheng would rather get hurt than give up guarding this little bug.
"Who is his pet? I am Xiaonan's friend. I belong to Xiaonan." Xiaochong protested angrily and loudly. No matter where he is, he belongs to Xiaonan.
"Her name is Xiaochong, she belongs to a friend of mine." Gu Zheng racked his brains and couldn't figure out what to say, so he simply introduced her.
The others said hello to Xiaochong one by one, which was considered a face to Gu Zheng and the bottle of elixir.
Xiao Chong, who didn't know it was Gu Zheng who allowed everyone to pay attention to him, did somersaults with joy. He hadn't known so many friends in a long time.
"Everyone, let's go, don't stay here." Although no one would come here, Wu Xiaofeng directly suggested leaving here directly.
Gu Zheng followed them into the forest on the opposite side and started heading south at a certain distance from the main road.
"Fellow Taoist Gu, did you really just come in from outside?" Gu Zheng and Wu Xiaofeng deliberately walked at the front. Wu Xiaofeng pointed to the sky and asked. Although he had asked the question before, he still couldn't help but ask again.
"Well, it's been about a few months." Although there is no sunrise or sunset here, and the eyes are always hanging in the sky, I can still know in my heart.
"Fellow Taoist Gu is really lucky. If he showed up here, if he showed up over there, with the strength of fellow Taoist Gu, there might not be anything wrong there." Wu Xiaofeng thought about how powerful Gu Zheng was.
Seeing such a rough and arrogant old man calling him politely and courteously, Gu Zheng felt a sense of disobedience in his heart, so he simply said directly, "You better not call me fellow Taoist Gu, I look older than me."
, just call me by my name."
When Wu Xiaofeng heard this, he slapped Gu Zheng hard on the shoulder, "I feel very awkward too, brother, you better understand me." Wu Xiaofeng came down directly along the pole.
That slap, and another slap, made Gu Zheng grin, and a chuckle came from behind, obviously seeing that Gu Zheng was treated the same way he had been.
Xiao Chong was left behind to chat with her new friends.
Wu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed, "Why are you laughing? It seems you haven't trained enough. Let's go back and train harder." After saying that, he turned to Gu Zheng and apologized, "Sometimes I can't control myself when I get excited. Don't mind me."
There was a burst of wailing and a look of despair. It seemed that training was indeed a very painful thing.
But it seems that the relationship between their teams is quite harmonious.
Gu Zheng still twitched the corner of his mouth, it was best to stay away from you. The spare slap would make people miserable, so Gu Zheng kept his expression and stayed away from Wu Xiaofeng.
But then, Wu Xiaofeng really controlled himself and did not let Gu Zheng experience that feeling.
But now Gu Zheng really has a lot of questions to ask. Sister Xiong only gave me a general introduction and threw him away. There are many that I still don’t understand, so I just took this opportunity to ask them.
"Brother, how many years have you been here? I don't know anything about this place. Where is this place?" Gu Zheng asked, pretending not to know.
"Brother, I've asked the right person. Although I came in quite late, I still know a lot about it. After all, I've been here for a thousand years."
Wu Xiaofeng smiled heartily, but Gu Zheng could still see the sadness hidden under his eyes.
Gu Zheng did not try to expose it. Everyone has their own secrets and there is no need to ask.
Following Wu Xiaofeng's explanation, Gu Zheng slowly completed the questions he had asked and gained a general understanding of this place.
There are roughly three areas here. One is due south where the Shura people are, and the only exit and entrance is there.
And there is no difference between the environment there and the outside. The whole place is a plain, with birds singing and flowers fragrant, a variety of free-range small animals, and a clear stream. It is simply a holy place for everyone here.
Near the exit, there is a high tower with two Daluo peaks stationed all year round. They will never leave unless something big happens, as if they are guarding something.
Basically, all the Shura tribe's trialists gathered there to rest. It was like a quiet town, with all the functions that a small town should have. It was beautiful and harmonious, but no one except the Shura tribe was allowed to enter.
All those who entered by mistake were killed without mercy. There were patrols and boundary detection there. I don’t know how many abandoned people and unsupervised puppets who wanted to sneak in were killed.
This world has a scope. Because of the corrections made by the big Shura man, all the edges are connected by mountains, towering into the sky. People who are not stronger than him cannot climb over it, because the taboos above are enough to make people want to cross over.
All living creatures are killed.
Everyone here knows this taboo.
The people with the lowest living cultivation level here are Heavenly Immortals, and there are very few of them. Most of them are in the early stage of Golden Immortal, in the middle stage of Golden Immortal, and a small number in the late stage of Golden Immortal. As for top figures like Wu Xiaofeng, there are only a few.
Gu Zheng still remembered the pride on Wu Xiaofeng's face when he said that, because he also belonged to the high-end power here.
The second place is the place prepared for the monsters controlled by Shura, the transformed humans, and some surrendered humans, which is at the easternmost location.
The east side is where all the evil spirits are the strongest, and in some places there is even substantial blood-colored mist wandering back and forth in the air.
Such a strong evil spirit makes this place very chaotic. Some puppet monsters riot from time to time. Some Shura people who have finished their rest stop here. There are a large number of different monsters here for the Shura people to test.
You must know that when these puppet monsters are not controlled, they are just wild beasts. In addition to not being hungry, they will also follow their own instincts, such as territorial concepts. For example, birds like to rest in big trees.
If you step into the territory of a monster rashly, it is very likely that it will come up and give you a fight.
There is also a town here called Puppet Town, which was built by surrendered humans and monsters. The Shura people don't mind this. They are all their own slaves anyway. It's not too late to be happy when someone manages these messy things.
Anyway, these slaves couldn't even think of resisting from the bottom of their hearts, even if they died, the Shura people were happy and relaxed.
Most of the Shura people who come for the trial will be here, because when competing with those monsters, they can be ordered to stop even if they are in danger. If they encounter something that they cannot avoid, such as some poison or an attack that is about to come close.
, if there is no time to stop it.
The ring in the wrist can provide short-term teleportation to avoid danger as long as the mind moves. However, it takes seven days to recharge after being used once. This thing automatically absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself.
This is also to ensure the safety of those who come to test the clan. This thing is very precious. The quantity produced every year is small, and only the strong ones in the clan can get it. However, every year, there are also madmen who die because of the special training of the feeling of life and death.
The ring will disappear immediately after it dies, because it is directly bound, and no one can take it away unless the person who bound it agrees.
No one cares about the dead Shura people. They are really desperate for strength.
What's more, there are some ordinary Shura tribesmen. Among the Shura tribe, the trial ground is prepared for real warriors. It is used for life and death training and breaking through the existing realm. It is the fastest and most dangerous.
Every year, many Shura people come back from their prehistoric experiences and come here in order to make a breakthrough. Even if they cannot break through, the environment here has a natural bonus for Shura and can also enhance their cultivation a lot.
The third place is those who claim to be abandoned. They are in the west because the evil spirit there is the lowest, which can minimize the transformation time.
There is also a magical green liquid that can also remove accumulated evil spirits from the body, but the quantity is very small and is distributed according to needs and contributions.
And occasionally, some powerful Shura people would lurk over, sabotage, assassinate, and destroy the camp without any surprises.
It's just that most Shura are alone and their destructive power is limited.
The most special place is the middle forest. Most of the humans and monsters caught outside are scattered inside. There are also many bloodthirsty Shura people wandering inside, and more hunters are hunting inside.
Those lonely humans and monsters.
Before, Gu Zheng was wondering why he didn't see anyone. It turned out that his original location was somewhere in the middle. Even if Shura saw him, he still had the aura of his own people, so he simply walked away. Anyway, Shura preferred to be alone.
Past.
We are here to practice, not to hunt for treasures. What is the use of a few people getting together?
Wu Xiaofeng's mission is to bring out the people and monsters from the central forest who have not been completely transformed, and use them to enhance their own strength.
Not only do you have to convince those people and monsters, but you also have to fend off those wandering Shura people. They like to kill such small groups the most. If they are not strong enough, they can easily be attacked by surprise.
If Wu Xiaofeng hadn't been strong enough, he would have lost several people. You should know that their team only had six people in total.
No wonder they respect Wu Xiaofeng so much. A strong captain can indeed protect his men.
And generally you can stay in it for up to half a year, otherwise the erosion of the evil spirit will settle in the body and cannot be removed. If it accumulates too much, it will be forced to be transformed into a puppet, and you will have to find a mountain to continue transforming your mind.
Gu Zheng asked how big the forest in the middle was, and Wu Xiaofeng said that he would have to run at full strength for two months to get through it.
Gu Zheng Sada Shi Tongue is so big and the terrain is so repetitive that you can get lost in it if you are not careful.
No wonder he said that most of the people there are on the fringes and dare not go deep.
After Wu Xiaofeng finished speaking, Gu Zheng roughly sketched a map of this place in his mind.
The northernmost end is a mountain range and a dead end.
The southernmost part is where Shura's town is located. There are two roads, one leads to the west, where Wu Xiaofeng's camp is, and there are basically few Shura.
The other leads to the town that surrendered to humans. Wu Xiaofeng and the others want to go there. There are only two roads, one goes through the central forest, and the second is the town where they transfer to Shura.
In Gu Zheng's opinion, only the first one is reliable, the second one is simply a dead end, and behind that is Shura's base camp, who dares to make a mistake.
Just talking like this, they rushed back all the way. Their mission had been completed, and they only brought back Gu Zheng, a powerful team member who was comparable to a dozen of weak ones. His contribution this time was definitely not low.
In the forest to the west, there are basically no mountain peaks, and most of them are trees. Under Wu Xiaofeng's constant explanation, Gu Zheng and his party reached a valley after a few days.
At the outskirts of the valley, Wu Xiaofeng ordered his team members to disperse, while he led Gu Zheng to prepare to enter the valley.
The six monkeys did not obey the order and dispersed. They formed a circle and looked at Wu Xiaofeng eagerly.
"Don't worry, I'll look for you personally in a while, I won't miss you." Wu Xiaofeng scolded with a smile.
They dispersed happily, and Gu Zheng found that there were many people around who were looking at them with envy.
He led Gu Zheng into the valley. Since he had already arrived at his own place, he was not in a hurry, so Gu Zheng and Wu Xiaofeng walked in slowly.
There are some scattered stone houses on the outskirts of the valley, and many people are scattered nearby. Their faces are full of numbness, like a decaying corpse. They sit there motionless, as if they have lost hope, but there are more people
Take the time to practice.
There are about 200 people scattered around, which is really a lot of people. Excluding those who are outside and invisible, wouldn't it mean that there are nearly 500 people here, which is beyond Gu Zheng's expectation. One person can only be three at most.
Hundreds of people, still estimate the best situation.
There were constant explosions in the distance, which seemed like something was going on.
Although Gu Zheng is not disturbed by the corrosive spiritual energy, the content of the evil spirit here is really very low. Compared to the central forest where you almost choke when you take a breath of air, you can hardly smell the fishy smell hidden inside.
Gu Zheng was curious as to why those people looked so depressed. He pointed at those people and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with those people?"
Wu Xiaofeng followed Gu Zheng's fingers and looked over, and couldn't help but sigh, his face a little lonely, "Look carefully, are the cultivation levels of most of those people at the level of immortals, because they only happen once every five hundred years?"
The defensive war has come, and these people feel that there is no hope, so they are so disappointed."
Gu Zheng took a closer look and found that most of those masters with desolate expressions were in the early or middle stages of being immortals.
Fortunately, I had learned the spell given to me by Xiaochong on the way and successfully hid the aura of Shura on my body. Otherwise, I would have been a wolf entering the tiger's den and seeking death.
As soon as those people swarm up, they will be submerged in the vast sea in an instant.
With just a glance, there are hundreds of golden immortals in sight. The mainstream of survival here is golden immortals.
The two of them were talking and had arrived at the entrance of the valley.
"Hello, General Wu." Two soldiers guarding the valley stepped forward and looked at Wu Xiaofeng with admiration.
"Are Elder Li and the others here? I have something to do with them." Wu Xiaofeng had already said casually.
"Yes, please." The guard opened the barrier at the entrance of the valley.
"This is to protect the green liquid in the valley, so we have to do this." Wu Xiaofeng explained to Gu Zheng casually.
Although I don’t know what the green liquid in Wu Xiaofeng’s mouth is, it can be seen that it is very precious in terms of the degree of protection.
Entering the valley, Gu Zheng discovered that there was actually a little bit of greenery, and many messy green grasses were scattered and scattered. Although they all looked bleak, they were at least the only green that Gu Zheng had seen so far.
Since he was still a little far away from his destination, Wu Xiaofeng simply continued to talk about the unfinished topic.
In fact, everyone understands it, but they have to face it.
