Jifeng Mountains is a local name given to the mountains on both sides, which means impenetrable peaks.
After several days of hard work, Gu Zheng and his party finally approached this place.
In fact, after leaving Shifeng Village for some distance, the entire situation changed. Strong winds blew constantly in the sky, and occasionally a hurricane would roar past, bringing up dust all over the sky.
As he approached the Jifeng Mountains, Gu Zheng could feel the majestic momentum of the peaks more and more. Countless huge mountain tops appeared in front of him one after another, with thousands of peaks and hundreds of peaks, rolling up and down.
For many mountain peaks, only half of the mountainside can be seen from a distance, while the rest of the mountain peaks straight into the sky, making it impossible to see the upper half clearly.
The surrounding mountains are all made of bare black stone, without any vegetation. Strong winds blow through the cracks in the mountains, and it sounds like a giant dragon roaring from a distance.
Moreover, most of the mountain peaks are extremely steep and there are no climbable routes at all.
At this time, the three of them, Gu Zheng, looked at this place, feeling the unparalleled momentum, and took a breath.
"Cute pet, we are already here. Next, you have to lead the way to find your master. You will be led to the road of death." Gu Zheng said with a solemn face.
At the top of all the mountain peaks, although there are no clouds, countless blue lights flash in the sky. From time to time, a blue fox comes from the sky or crosses the sky. If you want to fly up to look for it, I am afraid it is not realistic. It is estimated to reach a certain height.
It will attract countless lightning strikes in an instant, and Gu Zheng and the others will not be able to withstand it.
"Bah!" a series of sounds continued to come out of the cute pet's mouth.
"Don't worry, he senses that his master is not in extreme danger, because his master is safe now." Shuang'er translated habitually.
"That's good. You can lead the way from the front. I hope everything goes well." Gu Zheng looked into the distance, hoping that everything would go smoothly.
The three people set off towards the inside again. This long-silent mountain peak once again welcomed a new uninvited guest.
A five-foot-tall multi-foot-high monster was attacked with black fists and flew out directly. A figure next to it quickly disappeared into the void. The hand that reappeared had already reached behind the opponent's head, and a pair of sharp claws had penetrated into the opponent.
In the head.
I saw this majestic sharp-footed beast, with five or six sharp claws like long knives on its body waving randomly in the air, leaving streaks of cold light, and after a huge roar, it finally fell down heavily in vain, trying to survive.
Extremely started to decline.
When the sharp-footed beast's body stopped twitching and its breath completely disappeared, a man and a woman, plus a strange creature, came to him. It was Gu Zheng and his party.
"It's strange, why don't all the beasts here have those crystals anymore?" Gu Zheng said to himself strangely when he saw his cute pet dissect the opponent's body skillfully again, but still couldn't find any crystals.
Shuang'er didn't know about this, so she could only look outside warily, as the defensive monster appeared here.
They have been here for the seventh day, climbing almost one mountain in a day. However, on the third day, they encountered the monsters living here, and their strength was already comparable to the powerful monsters in the outside world.
Although for them, it only took one round to kill each other, but Gu Zheng still felt that this place was different from the outside world.
The beasts roaming here are more violent and ferocious. They have only pure beast instincts and don't seem to think at all. Moreover, Gu Zheng saw some creatures feeding on rocks.
But no matter what kind of creature, as soon as it sees them, it will rush over like crazy. Even if Gu Zheng deliberately creates a huge powerful attack in front of them, the opponent will rush over like crazy even if they know that they will die.
It is a foolish dream for ordinary people to climb over this mountain range. With the attack power of the sacrifice, they can penetrate four or five mountains from the air, because the monsters become stronger as they go up.
So far, the ancient struggle has not found its end, it is still an endless series of mountains.
"Aren't we here yet?" Gu Zheng and the others crossed the corpse again. It took them a full day to get around the mountain range. They found a sunken wall and hid in it to rest. Shuang'er said feebly.
Because as you go further back, the mountains get higher, and now you can obviously feel the wind blowing through you while walking. Gu Zheng and the beast are okay, but Shuang'er must support some magic power to protect the body, otherwise over time, it will be very difficult.
It is easy for Yin Qi to enter the body.
So at the end of the day, Shuang'er has to take a night's rest.
"Bah"
The cute pet next to him pointed to one side and chirped, and the tail behind him couldn't help but sway back and forth, making a series of bell sounds.
"I know, you said it can take at most two days. That's really good news. If I continue to go deeper, I'm afraid I really won't be able to hold on." Shuang'er continued to translate and threw another pill.
Physical recovery.
Gu Zheng is guarding the front. The mountains here are too long and too complicated. They still have to cross them with a diagonal line. If they want to cross to reach the territory of the demon tribe, they may not be able to cross it.
The night passed quickly. It took the three people three days to finally stop under a huge mountain peak, but the three of them were hiding a little further away with solemn expressions.
In the middle of the peak, a huge cave entrance appeared in front of everyone, and countless cold air burst out from inside, dyeing the surrounding area into frost.
According to the cute pet's instructions, it escaped from here, and its owner was also trapped inside.
The reason why they were so vigilant was that a ghost-like humanoid creature, whose entire body was almost transparent, was hovering in the air and never left the area of the hole, as if there was something inside that was attracting it.
There are no facial features, only humanoid limbs, like a ball of water. It looks weak and will fall down at a touch, but Gu Zheng and the others know that this is the absolute overlord here, an invincible existence.
Yin beast!
The power of heaven and earth is condensed from here, with physical immunity and spell immunity. So far, no attack can harm the opponent. Although in the books left behind, there is a speculation mentioned above that perhaps only attacks that attack the soul can destroy the opponent.
But no one who comes here knows.
Even if Gu Zheng knows a little about some basic attack methods, not to mention how powerful they are, he can't perform those attacks at all. Once the Yin Beast comes into contact with the enemy's body, it will directly integrate into the body and devour your soul from the inside.
No one can bear it.
Fortunately, the number of these Yin beasts is very small. They usually only exist near the Ji Feng Mountains and the trap-free caves in the middle. They will not move around at will. As long as you don't provoke them by trying to die, there will generally be no problem.
"Little cute pet, are you sure your master is there, in the cave guarded by the Yin Beast?" Gu Zheng asked solemnly again.
The cute pet kept nodding its head, pointing there with its hand, and chirping softly.
"It said that its owner is not only trapped inside, but also seems to have an enemy. Everything is frozen inside, so as to prevent the Yin beast from approaching. However, in this case, its owner cannot break free from inside and must rely on the outside.
People can do it, so it went down the mountain to ask for help. "What? There are still enemies? You didn't mention this before." Gu Zheng said in surprise.
"The enemy is not powerful and can't defeat its master, so it doesn't matter." Shuang'er, the synchronous translator, translated at the side.
"That's good, now I'll think of a way to lure him away!" Gu Zheng then relaxed, because it can be seen from this that the other party can release such a spell after coming here. It seems that it is impossible for him to be a golden immortal.
period characters.
The cultivation level of the Golden Immortal Stage is of no use here, and all of them have been blocked. If Gu Zheng encounters a Yin Beast, there is nothing he can do except pray that the other party is not interested in him.
At this time, the cute pet screamed quickly at the side, and his body trembled slightly, as if he wanted to leave here.
"It said it could lure away the Yin Beast, but it couldn't last too long. Let's hurry up and rescue his master."
"Okay, Shuang'er, wait for us here and be ready to retreat at any time." When Gu Zheng heard this, he immediately ordered. When Shuang'er nodded to understand what he meant, he said to the little cute pet.
"We are getting closer secretly. When it finds you, you are trying to lure him away so that you can fight for me more. Do you understand? You also need to take the bell off for me. The sound is too loud.
"
Gu Zheng looked at the cold cave. Gu Zheng was not absolutely sure that he would be able to break the opponent's defense very quickly, so he could buy a little more time, and maybe he could succeed by relying on this little time.
The cute pet nodded and shook its head, but it held the tail of the bell with its hand, so it didn't make that loud a sound.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to let it go. At least when it attracted the Yin Beast, it made that huge bell sound, which could also tell its owner inside that he was his ally. At least it saved him a lot of time to explain.
It's all bad.
One person and one beast, curling up their bodies as much as possible, condensing their breath, secretly approached the mountain peaks. If the Yin beasts above had eyes, they could be spotted by just looking down.
However, I don’t know exactly how the Yin Beast detects its enemies. It’s not based on sight anyway.
After successfully reaching the foot of the mountain, the two people began to slowly climb up. When they were at the bottom, there was a place to step on, and they reluctantly got closer.
"What can we do?" Gu Zheng looked at the almost right-angled mountain peak in front of him and was dumbfounded. The sound of wind whistling in the air kept hearing.
Looking at the past at this time, everything around them is a smooth wall. Even if there are some bulges, the edges and corners have been smoothed by the strong wind blowing day and night.
The cute pet tilted his head and used his sharp claws to test the hardness of the stone wall. There was a soft "thump" sound, which showed that the mountain peak was a bit hard and could not be touched silently.
The cute pet nodded to Gu Zheng, and then suddenly rushed outside. The "ding-dong-dang" bell rang wildly in its deliberate swing, which was very harsh in this small world.
The Yin Beast lingering above suddenly stopped and turned towards the cute pet in the air.
The cute pet took in a sharp breath, exhaled a sharp breath, and rushed towards the Yin Beast, hitting it in the blink of an eye.
When Gu Zheng saw the attack landing on the surface of the Yin Beast, its whole body turned with light, and the attack disappeared, as if it had been absorbed. It was really weird.
An extremely low and harsh low-frequency sound suddenly sounded in the air. As if the Yin Beast was angered, it suddenly opened a small mouth-like opening on its abdomen, and then immediately rushed out to chase the cute pet that provoked it.
.
Gu Zheng, who was unable to catch up, became dizzy and almost fell down.
The cute pet that was the first to suffer was even more unbearable and fell straight from the sky. At this time, the Yin Beast was already approaching quickly.
Under Gu Zheng's worried eyes, he could not stop the Yin Beast. The cute pet that was about to be approached suddenly shook and jumped directly into the void again, leaving the Yin Beast in a daze.
Just when Gu Zheng thought that the Yin Beast could not know the location of its cute pet, he saw another flash of light around the Yin Beast, and a layer of fluctuations visible to the naked eye burst out from it, spreading outward in circles.
Gu Zheng was fully prepared in his heart, but when the ripples passed through him, he didn't feel anything strange, as if it had no effect at all.
But the Yin Beast seemed to have seen the cute pet's figure and rushed towards a certain place in the sky again at great speed.
The cute pet's figure once again escaped from the void in embarrassment. Two slightly transparent wings suddenly appeared on its back. It quickly picked up speed and ran towards the distance, followed closely by the Yin Beast.
.
Gu Zheng waited until the other party walked away, then looked back at Shuang'er, who was looking worriedly at him in the distance, gave her a reassuring smile, and then a faint black light emerged between his fingers.
"Puff puff"
Gu Zheng directly inserted his hands into the stone peak. The hard rock was as soft as tofu. He inserted half of his palm into it at once. With the help of his strength, Gu Zheng rushed up and soon approached the entrance of the cave.
The bitter cold air penetrated Gu Zheng's skin, making Gu Zheng couldn't help but shiver. He hurriedly spread the evil force all over his body, and then he felt much better.
The cave was not deep. When Gu Zheng came to the entrance, he found that a huge ice block in the innermost part filled almost half of the cave. The cold air continued to rise from above. There were two men imprisoned inside.
One looks kinder, wearing a gold hair crown and a robe similar to that of a scholar, except that there are some scales inlaid between the ribs. At this time, he has his hands crossed, looking defensive.
The other one looked a bit ordinary in comparison. He was wearing a somewhat tattered animal skin, his hair was a little messy, his posture was upright, and he didn't know what he was doing before he was frozen.
At this time, both of them had their eyes closed, and Gu Zheng couldn't feel any breath from either of them. It seemed that both of them were engaged in some kind of breath-holding technique, almost completely blocking out things outside.
But what made him even more dumbfounded was that the cute pet didn't tell him who his master was.
You must know that there is a big gap between them. Gu Zheng could have just rescued the owner of the cute pet. Even though the cute pet said that his owner was more powerful, both of them were sucked into it and they were still anxious.
If its owner is strong, then its strength is limited.
In this way, as long as you simply recover and break the ice, the enemy will be dead.
On the contrary, if you save the wrong person, you might also be implicated.
It's not that Gu Zheng never thought about rescuing the two of them together, but if the two of them started fighting as soon as they came out, they might attract the Yin Beast again, which would be really terrible. No one would be able to escape, given the speed of the Yin Beast.
Gu Zheng looked at it and found that he was on the front line faster than his current full speed.
Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have used such stupid methods to avoid the Yin Beast.
It would be a good idea if the other party did not fight and separated each other, but Meng Chong told himself that the other party was an extremely evil demon clan person who often massacred human beings and was very smart. The time between each crime was extremely long.
The master also tracked the other party for tens of thousands of years before blocking him.
I thought that if the other party was really like this, the humans here would probably suffer.
It's not that I don't doubt Meng Chong, but why I agreed to Meng Chong in that stone house in the first place. It was the place of longing for people here, and it was also the last place of sustenance for so many human race monks. If Meng Chong had any bad intentions towards the human race at that time,
Thoughts, I'm afraid without Gu Zheng's intervention, the souls of the heroic spirits left behind in the stone tablets would have torn the cute pets into pieces.
Moreover, when Gu Zheng obtained the power of darkness, he made an exception and glanced at the cute pet. The opponent was indeed just a creature with relatively high intelligence. It didn't even have intelligence activated, let alone transformed. If it could even be deceived,
yourself, then you deserve to be deceived.
In addition to its higher strength, if Gu Zheng had evil intentions and wanted to deceive it, it would be too simple.
Gu Zheng figured out these thoughts in just a moment, but before he could pay attention, the two people inside opened their eyes almost at the same time and looked directly at him.
Gu Zheng was startled when he was stared at by two pairs of extremely deep eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Did my pet ask you to come here?" The scholar man on the right said, his tone was smooth and polite, and he sounded very comfortable.
"Your pet, when did my pet become your pet? It's so ridiculous." When the sloppy man heard this, he immediately retorted.
Although Gu Zheng didn't see each other's mouth movements, the voices of the two people came from them, letting Gu Zheng know who was speaking.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. When my pet comes back, you will know the truth of the matter." The man on the right said disdainfully.
"You are so interesting. Of course you know that only my pet can lure that strange guy away, and there is no way he can come back." The sloppy man said with the same disdain.
"Let me out, and I will destroy this abominable demon clan. I don't know how many of our tribesmen he has killed. We finally blocked him and couldn't let him out." The sloppy man said through gritted teeth.
"You're telling a lie with great justice," another person retorted.
Gu Zheng was now in a dilemma, but he knew that he didn't have much time and must find out the true owner of the cute pet as soon as possible.
