Gu Zheng and his group started walking in the passage again, but this time Gu Zheng could clearly feel that they seemed to be circling down, and there was a faint sound of tide in the air.
There seemed to be an ocean below. After walking for about an hour, a group of them finally reached the bottom.
There is also a huge flat land below, but what surprises everyone is that on one side is a cave with many holes, and on the other side, there is a huge pool in it.
The color of the pool is pure purple, and the area is not very large. There is a pontoon made of unknown wood in the middle, leading to the opposite side. From time to time, a huge bubble pops out of the water, and countless water droplets splash around.
Transparent light curtains suddenly appeared all around, directly blocking the spread of the water droplets. Only the floating bridge in the middle was a safe passage.
On the opposite side of the pontoon, you can clearly see some people walking around holding some things, as if they are catching something.
"Okay, now you just stay here for a while. If you don't know how to go find someone to ask, the ugly words are ahead of you. I don't want some people to find some trouble. You know, my lovely Chongchong needs some trouble."
Nutrition." The middle-aged man in blue robe looked at everyone and said with a smile.
But his eyes were like poisonous snakes, glancing back and forth, and everyone could deeply feel the malice.
"Huh." He gently blew on the female insect in his hand, and everyone felt a sense of danger, knowing that their lives were in each other's hands.
"Your residence is behind you, pick whatever you want, maybe you can get some good things." After saying this, the middle-aged man in blue robe turned around and walked up, not afraid that the other party would take the opportunity to escape.
At this time, the shackles on everyone's hands had fallen to the ground one after another, and it seemed that they were temporarily free, except for those immortals.
After such a long walk, with very little rest time along the way, everyone was already exhausted.
Everyone looked at each other and it was obvious that the two immortals knew each other. They chose a cave to enter without looking at the others.
The others hesitated a little and walked towards the cave in twos and threes. No matter what they did now, they should rest first and think about future problems.
"Master, why don't you stay with me?" A slightly older voice sounded next to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng saw that it was a kind-hearted person from before, a relatively senior fifth-level immortal cultivator.
, there are obvious signs of aging on the face.
"Thank you, senior." Gu Zheng hesitated, but accepted the other party's invitation, just because when Gu Zheng pretended to be comatose before, he took care of him for more than half of the time. In this place, maybe he can help him.
Of course, from the other party's perspective, he needs his care. He is only at the third level of cultivation. It is estimated that no one here is weaker than him.
The two of them randomly found a cave and went in. It was said to be a cave, but it was really a cave. They could barely stand up. If they were a little taller, they would probably have to bend down half-way.
Moreover, the area of the cave is not very large. It can only be crowded if there are at most four people together. The space between the two of them is about the same.
Gu Zheng deliberately chose a relatively high entrance to the cave. The ground inside was gray and it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.
Gu Zheng helped his senior clean up a little and put all the dust in a corner.
"My dear friend, I'm sorry to trouble you, old Liu Jin." Liu Jin sat down on the side and introduced himself after taking a breath.
"Senior Liu, just call me Gu Zheng." Gu Zheng also sat on the ground and said politely.
As he said that, he put his hand into his chest and his heart moved. A pill appeared in Gu Zheng's hand and he lowered it.
This is actually just a simple Qi Gathering Pill, which has no effect on people like Gu Zheng. However, it is still tempting enough for those below the immortal level, and one pill is enough to replenish the trumpet in their bodies.
Senior Liu's eyes lit up, but he still didn't extend his hand. Instead, he carefully looked outside and found that no one was outside, so he hurriedly whispered.
"My little friend, please put it away quickly, don't let others discover it, otherwise you will be unlucky."
Everything they had on them was plundered by the other party, and nothing was left. Unexpectedly, the little friend's cultivation was not high, but his ability to hide was shocking.
In fact, Gu Zheng was afraid of being teleported, so he made complete preparations before entering the water gate. He only kept an ordinary long sword on his body, but it was also searched and taken away, which was very suitable for his identity. The rest was hidden in the double bead jade.
Now as I become more familiar with it, I can now take simple things inside without taking them out, but I still can't take them out like magic weapons.
Seeing the other party's concern, Gu Zheng smiled slightly, curled his fingers slightly, and the elixir sank into Senior Liu's mouth accurately.
Senior Liu swallowed subconsciously and swallowed it directly. Looking at Gu Zheng's skillful technique, he didn't even react to it. It was not in line with the opponent's strength.
Thinking of the other party joining in from the middle, I felt that the other party had become mysterious. The more I thought about it, the more excited I became. Could it be that the Star Alliance on Yunpiao Island was aware of it and specially sent people.
However, Senior Liu quickly closed his eyes, because the power of the elixir in his body had burst out, and he had to start absorbing it with all his strength.
Four hours later, Senior Liu had completely returned to normal. When he opened his eyes and saw Gu Zheng watching him from the side, he felt that his luck was really good.
I was obsessed for a moment and believed Feng Yi's words. I felt that as long as I protected the other person on his voyage to the sea and escorted him back, he would get some precious elixirs. Although he had no hope of breaking through, there were still many descendants in his family who needed it.
When I met the immortal on the boat, I became more confident and thought that Feng Yi was giving me the benefits specifically to win over me.
Unexpectedly, when they entered the island, Feng Yi and the others jumped out directly. They were disarmed by the other party without any resistance.
The two immortals who came also chose to surrender after seeing Feng Yi's exposed strength.
Who would have thought that he, who had been acting like an immortal outside, would actually reach his peak, and could be said to have deceived everyone.
As a result, when he was in despair, he met someone from the Star Alliance again. Now Senior Liu has recognized the other party in his heart, otherwise he would not be able to explain such a thing.
The Star Alliance is actually just a group of San people, mainly to protect some interests of San people, but it is said to be the largest force in the area.
However, since their main focus is on the islands and oceans, there are only some peripheral members on Yunpiao Island. You must know that the strength of the peripheral members must be at least level five.
Thinking about a person like himself who is at the bottom of the pile and is not even qualified to do odd jobs, his core strength is all immortals. Although the number of people is not very large, he is already a behemoth in this place.
It is said that the leader of the Star Alliance is a great figure in the Golden Immortal stage, who can be admired by everyone. In the eyes of ordinary people, the Golden Immortal stage has reached its peak.
For nearly a thousand years, the Star Alliance has been tracking down the disappearance of some people, because three of their core members also disappeared for no reason, which made them feel heartbroken. They suspected that it was related to this matter, and they have been silently tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Sir, are you from the Star Alliance?" Senior Liu didn't dare to show his age at this time. Even though the other party looked so young, he didn't know how many generations older than he was. Every immortal can rejuvenate his youth, so his appearance
It's just an appearance.
Gu Zheng was stunned. He had never heard of the Star Alliance, but looking at the admiring look in the other person's eyes, he even changed his name, so he pretended to nod casually without denying it.
"That's great." Senior Liu clenched his hands excitedly.
"How did you get here, and what is this place?" Gu Zheng asked this question directly.
Of course, Senior Liu talked about everything, and of course there was very little basic useful information, but he also allowed Gu Zheng to understand a lot of things here. Gu Zheng also learned some things about the Star Alliance through indirect inquiries.
No wonder the other party was so excited, he thought he was from the Star Alliance.
However, Gu Zheng didn't explain anything to him. He found an excuse to end the conversation, and then started meditating here.
The spiritual energy here is so violent that even Gu Zheng himself has to spend a lot of effort to absorb and transform it. Gu Zheng has been in the cave and hasn't gone anywhere.
Instead, Senior Liu went out several times and brought a lot of useful news.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang" a long sound of bells rang in the space, directly interrupting Gu Zheng's recovery. Gu Zheng felt that his body was only less than 30%. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. The results of these days of hard work were so small, which was unexpected.
His expectation.
Such a big movement naturally attracted everyone, and everyone walked out of their caves one after another.
Gu Zheng also walked out and stood with the others, because the people on the opposite side began to evacuate here, and a person quickly walked over along the pontoon.
"Big Tiger."
"Brother Qin."
"Liu Rongxuan, why are you here?"
When I saw familiar figures here, I couldn't help shouting. Some people had been missing for decades or hundreds of years, and I didn't expect to meet them here.
Even Gu Zheng couldn't help but get excited when he saw an immortal on his side, because he also met a friend of his here. He thought he died outside, but he didn't expect the two people to meet here.
Each of these people's expressions were full of fatigue. Some people just looked at them indifferently and went back directly. Now they are just walking corpses, and the hope in their hearts is almost dead.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? If you don't go back to rest, why do you still want to work?" A rough voice appeared from behind.
Gu Zheng looked around and saw a strong man with scars on his face behind him, looking at the people blocking the front with a ferocious expression. He was holding a white jade bottle in his hand, and the other one was protecting the front, for fear of some accident.
Immediately, the crowd on the bridge dispersed, making way for the scarred man.
Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that the supervisor below was also a late-stage immortal. It was really extravagant, and it also showed that the contents of the jade bottle were very important and he couldn't leave it at all.
Only then did Gu Zheng and the others realize that the ringing of the bell originally meant rest, but they did not stay outside for more time, because after a while, the terrifying tide would erupt, and only hiding in the cave would be safe.
.
Soon, there was no one in the open space before, and even Gu Zheng returned to the original cave. For those who worked, this was also a hard time to rest.
Gu Zheng looked outside curiously, clearly feeling that a strange change was taking place between heaven and earth.
Gu Zheng was always paying attention to the outside. Not long after they entered, a shining black light mask appeared at the entrance of the cave. Then, Gu Zheng clearly felt that the spiritual energy in the air became more violent.
Before, it could be said that it was a somewhat irritable scalper. Although it was very wild, it could still be tamed. But now, Gu Zheng felt like a crazy hungry tiger, charging back and forth in the air.
Under such circumstances, even Gu Zheng would not dare to absorb it, as this violent spiritual energy might backfire on him.
The psychic storm outside creates a black light shield, and even the air outside turns into a light purple. However, with the black shield, as long as you don't take it out for death, you can't feel the power from the outside.
This storm lasted for almost half a month and suddenly subsided without any warning.
"Dudu"
The piercing whistle sounded fiercely not long after the storm subsided, and at the same time, the black light shield of the cave had disappeared.
Everyone has walked out of the cave, and in front of the pontoon, the scarred man is standing there, shouting a silver whistle.
"Very good. This time the storm lasted a little longer and gave you a little more rest. But next, you have to work hard. I don't need to talk nonsense. The newcomers will just follow you and work together." Scarface
After finishing speaking, the big man walked directly along the pontoon bridge.
Gu Zheng followed the team in confusion. Gu Zheng had discovered before that there were more than a hundred people here. Among them, there were six people in the early stage of immortals. The others were all fourth and fifth levels. He was the only one.
Third level.
I followed the crowd and came to a huge wall.
At this time, the wall extended for thousands of meters to the side. There were tiny holes on it, and some blue water droplets were hanging on it.
Some people here have brought a thin bamboo-like object from the side, with a spoon-like shape on the head, but the length is only half an arm's length.
Some people were walking in their own places, already looking at some blue dots above, and keeping their eyes on it at any time.
The blue water droplets in front of a person suddenly fell from the slightly raised hole. Although the speed was not very fast, they were floating in the air. The person in front of him, with quick eyes and quick hands, directly used the long bamboo-like thing
Just catch it and fall into the groove on the head.
Then he quickly came behind him and placed it in a marked jade bottle.
There were a total of twelve jade vases lined up in the middle, and the scarred-faced man was standing behind them, looking at those people with an unkind expression.
"Hurry up. Before the next storm hits, be sure to fill up the jade bottle. Don't waste it on me. As long as you work hard for this period, the superiors will allow you to rest for a while." The scar-faced man shouted loudly.
.
Normally, if anyone moved slower, he would pull him out and beat him up, but now that he has received the warning from above and knows that his behavior has caused dissatisfaction, he has restrained himself a little.
Gu Zheng and his group of newcomers stood aside and could only watch those people working in front. Although some people already knew the general process, they had no tools and no way.
"You newcomers, please observe them carefully for a while, and remember not to touch them with your body. If you die down there, don't blame me for telling you in advance." The scarred man said to them from the side.
Gu Zheng and the others could only stand there and watch the work on the other side, but Gu Zheng's consciousness had already looked back through here.
Because Gu Zheng had already discovered that although this scarred man was in the middle stage of immortal cultivation and exuded extremely obvious truth, he gave Gu Zheng a very unstable feeling.
It felt like he had just been promoted not long ago and could not adapt to this new strength for a while. More importantly, the other party's spiritual consciousness was so advanced that even Gu Zheng thought he was still at the early stage.
Even if Gu Zheng observed him with great arrogance, he couldn't find that Gu Zheng was much bolder.
As long as what he does is not obvious, he will not be aware of his actions at all.
Behind the stone wall, Gu Zheng discovered a place similar to a secret room. There were walls made of white jade around it, and there was only an exit similar to a door, but there was no door.
There is a pool of water inside, the water inside is extremely dark, and wisps of black air continue to condense on the pool, forming a thick black mist.
In front of the water pool, where a magic circle was clearly visible, a burst of purple smoke appeared from the formation, and then, pulled by a mysterious force, passed through the black mist above the water pool, and countless black mist and purple smoke became entangled,
Streams of blue gas appeared from inside.
As soon as the blue gas appears, it will be pushed out and rush to the front. Behind this barely visible wall, white crystal stones are embedded in it, greedily absorbing the blue mist in the air.
The blue water droplets everyone wants to catch outside are transformed from blue mist.
When the black mist above becomes thinner, the burst of purple mist will completely disappear. When the black mist condenses to a certain extent again, another burst of purple mist will emerge from the magic circle, repeating the previous process.
Most of the white crystals at the back are not activated, because this wall can be completely covered with more than 300 people, but it also shows that there must have been so many people before, but now there are only so many left.
It's just that Guzheng doesn't know where the purple mist came from. What is certain is that the purple mist outside is not the source. It is just a little leaked breath, thus changing the color, and the color inside.
The mist is completely different.
A group of them stood here for a long time, looking at the blue water droplets that someone occasionally missed, which made the scar-faced man curse. Although he was so angry, he still stood there after all.
The members who originally thought they were going to be beaten were overjoyed and quickly looked up. There were mistakes at the beginning, but if they happened again, they might not be so lucky again.
