Mei Luoyu followed Gu Zheng's gaze and found that it was still a piece of loess and there was nothing strange about it.
"Just wait a minute, I'll come and take a look!"
Gu Zheng thought for a while, then ordered her to the side, then flew towards the distance and disappeared in front of Mei Luoyu in the blink of an eye.
The only dissatisfaction here is probably that there are too few woods. Basically, there are many forests except on the islands. On the land, there is no green at all, and the sky is filled with loess.
According to Ren Jie, it will be much better when you get to the middle of the road. It is basically the same as the outside, with high mountains, huge forests, and numerous tree creatures, so everyone wants to go inside. After all, everyone likes a better life.
environment.
After half a stick of incense, Gu Zheng stood on a slightly raised ground. In front of him, there was a small figure struggling to dig a hole, which was now several feet deep.
But that figure is still digging down, like some kind of treasure underneath, working tirelessly,
What puzzled Gu Zheng was that when he scanned it, there was not even a piece of garbage underneath, let alone treasures, because there was nothing underneath except loess, and it was still loess.
Seeing that the other party can only throw up a little bit of soil at a time and pile it up nearby, it has now formed a small hill. It seems that the working time is really endless.
After all, the other party didn't have any tools, so he dug hard into the ground with only his small hands. He was also very perseverant.
But what makes Gu Zheng puzzled is, what is he going to do?
This small figure did not notice the arrival of Gu Zheng. He still kept waving his little hands and throwing loess at it, but he realized early that the opponent seemed to be a little weak.
The sound of a cow's panting was so obvious in the small hole. Every move made by the other party was much slower than before, as if the other party never took a break.
Gu Zheng was still thinking about why this kid, who was about ten years old, came to this wilderness alone. Could he be playing a game of digging holes alone? But Gu Zheng also knew that there was no one within a radius of ten thousand miles.
A demon's stronghold, how did he travel so far away?
Is it just to dig a big hole?
Of course, what attracted Gu Zheng was not that a demon child appeared here, but that the opponent actually had a trace of the power of the incense in his body. Although it was very meager, it was so meager that if you stood in front of you and looked carefully, you might not be able to find any trace of it.
Because the other party has been perfectly integrated with the demon power in his body, Gu Zheng discovered that the other party was actually thanks to the help of the demon grass. In this place, through the demon grass, he could clearly sense the power of incense in the other party's body, even if
Even if it is weak, it can be detected.
But Gu Zheng clearly remembered that only the ancestral gods could control the power of incense.
It is because it must be mastered and used through the skills left by the quasi-sage. If it were not for the help of the demon grass, in the ancient struggle, I would have planned not to use the power of this incense, and even have to resign from the title of Ancestral God.
After all, not everyone from outside wants to be an ancestor god.
Anyway, for those who worship him, their sources are the remnants of the gathering power of the statue. As long as there is a statue, their strength will increase, but the incense converted by the statue is wasted.
But this little boy was a little strange. Gu Zheng looked at the other person over and over again, but he didn't find anything different, and there was no magic weapon. His strength was still very low, and he couldn't be an ancestor god, and there was nothing in his body to help him.
Like the evil grass inside the ancient body.
While Gu Zheng was thinking about it, the little boy, who might not have achieved anything for so long, stopped what he was doing, and then jumped out of the hole below in a few leaps.
With a thought in Gu Zheng's mind, his whole person became a little transparent. Although it was a little imperfect, it was more than enough to hide it from this little guy.
I saw the little boy coming up to a slightly higher slope and looking southward with a pair of slightly resentful eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.
However, this little adult's contemplation did not last long. A thunderous sound sounded from his stomach, and the little boy's face drooped with a bitter look.
He rubbed his belly, trying to calm it down for a while, but it was of no use. The intermittent thunder now kept ringing, and became louder and louder.
The little boy's whole body was bent down. It looked like he hadn't eaten for a long time.
There was a look of determination in the little boy's eyes, and then he staggered to the side with weak steps and began to search for something on the ground.
But in Gu Zheng's perception, there seems to be nothing there, and it's not entirely right.
To be precise, there seemed to be only one abandoned food there, a round cake as hard as a stone.
"You can't really be looking for it!"
While Gu Zheng was wondering, after some searching, the other party actually pulled out the round cake from the loess.
The little boy held it in his hands as if he had found a treasure, with excitement in his eyes. He had not eaten for three days and three nights, and suddenly food appeared in front of him.
Seeing that he simply blew the loess off the top to make the piece in front of him look less dirty, he couldn't wait to open his mouth and bite on it.
"Click"
With a soft sound like the collision of stones, the little boy took the round cake out of his mouth. His eyes instantly became tearful, and he looked speechlessly at the small row of his own teeth marks on it.
The little boy curled his lips, stood up, waved his arms, and threw the round cake out again. The round cake drew a graceful arc in the air and made a small pit in the loess not far away.
"Cuckoo"
But the little boy's belly didn't give him face, and he kept protesting.
In just a few minutes, the little boy walked over there again with a grimace, because there was no food nearby at this time. If he didn't want to starve to death, he had to eat the dry and hard round cake.
Even this one was picked up by him on the road, otherwise he would have nothing now.
"It's not fun at all. I want to go home! If you're hungry, you can find something to eat by just digging in the ground. I've dug so deep and there's nothing."
The little boy muttered to himself, but in a flash he thought of that island that was like a prison, with not even a single playmate, and those who accompanied him were all perfunctory, and he didn't want to go back at all.
Although I am a bit stupid, I am not stupid.
"I will definitely find a place where there are people, and then I will have something to eat!"
The little boy then thought firmly, then looked at the round cake he found in his hand, brushed off the loess on it, and closed his eyes. Although there was still a lot of loess remaining in the gaps, he could no longer care about it, so he had to take a closer look.
Bite away.
But the moment he was about to put it into his mouth, his movements suddenly froze, and his little nose kept twitching, as if he smelled something delicious.
"It smells like roast chicken!"
His closed eyes opened instantly. Not far away from him, there was a steaming roast chicken. The alluring aroma continued to emanate from it, making his saliva flow out unconsciously.
Compared with the fragrant roast chicken, the round cake in his hand seemed to no longer exist. The aroma seemed to have a magical power, making him subconsciously walk over. The round cake in his hand even fell from his hand, but he
Still don't know.
When he came to the roasted chicken, his saliva had already burst out of the restraints in his mouth, and a trace of crystal fluid flowed down from the side of his mouth.
At this time, the little boy's eyes were blurred, his whole heart was struggling, and there was a devil instigating him in his heart.
"I'm about to starve to death. It's obvious that there's an expert who couldn't bear to see you in this condition and left it specially for you. He's gone long ago. Eat quickly. Only by eating can you have the strength to go on the road."
"No, what if it's poisonous? Besides, no one said it was for you to eat!"
Just as the devil's voice came out, another voice came out again, as if it was the firm side of his heart.
"The opponent was placed here without knowing it. His strength is definitely far superior to yours. Does he still need to poison you if he wants to deal with you?"
"In case the other party has other intentions, my father has said since childhood that you should be careful when going out."
...
At this time, the little boy was in a dilemma. He unconsciously stretched out his hand, retracted it, and stretched it out, but his eyes were full of desire.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, shouted to the sky, and then threw himself in front of the roast chicken.
"Thank you, senior, for your gift!"
He stretched out his hands, tore off the chicken legs, put them in his mouth and began to bite them. He didn't even let go of the remaining bones, chewed them up and swallowed them whole.
In just a short while, after he devoured it, the whole roast chicken went into his stomach, and not a single bit was left.
"belch"
The satisfied little boy finally made a sound of satisfaction and sat on the ground, feeling like he was alive again.
At this time, Gu Zheng also walked out from the side with a smile but not a smile.
"Thank you, senior, for giving me food!"
The little boy saw a figure appear in front of him. A Gulu immediately stood up and thanked Gu Zheng. He also waved his hands towards Gu Zheng in a decent manner, looking like a little adult.
Gu Zheng didn't care and said to the little boy in front of him.
"Why are you running around alone? Where are your family members?"
"Oh, I just came out to play. My home is quite far away." The little boy may have left home because of Gu Zheng's smile and kindness, plus the food the other party gave him.
The matter of running away was exposed.
"Good guy, you dare to do this here. You don't know how big there is here. Since you dare to come out alone, you are not afraid of starving to death." Gu Zheng glanced at this little guy, but he didn't expect him to be so brave.
Simply risking your life.
If Gu Zheng hadn't inadvertently sensed the difference in the other person's body, there wouldn't have been a blade of grass within a thousand miles, let alone a human being.
It can be said that with his footsteps, he would not be able to find any inhabited place even if he starved to death.
"I brought a lot of food before, but I have already eaten it all. I get hungry quickly. I have to eat six meals a day. Just now I was 30% full." The little boy said honestly, with eager eyes.
Looking at Gu Zheng's hands, he hoped that the other party would give him something to eat.
"What's your name?" Gu Zheng understood what the other person meant from his eyes. He stretched out his hand and a large piece of meat appeared in mid-air. Then a line of fire emerged from his wrist and burned under the piece of meat.
In just a few blinks, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, attracting the little boy's eyes again, and his Adam's apple continued to squirm. Apparently, the aroma had seduce his appetite.
"My name is Hai Ming, what's your name, senior?" Although his eyes were fixed on the barbecue, he still answered Gu Zheng's question.
"Hai Ming, what a name, just call me Senior Gu." Gu Zheng praised, then took out a little salt and sprinkled it, and then a cold wind rose out of thin air, making the temperature of the barbecue drop to what he could accept.
To a certain extent, you must know that the roasted chicken just burned him quite hard.
"Thank you, Senior Gu." Hai Ming couldn't wait to receive the roasted meat and took a big bite of it. He swallowed hard while thanking Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng, on the other hand, waited quietly for the other party to finish eating. However, when he saw the slightest bulge on the other party's forehead, his heart moved. He waited until the other party was about to finish eating before asking.
"Where are you going next? I'll give you a ride if you want. Go home quickly. Don't be a little kid running around outside."
"Senior Gu, I want to go north. I want to see the most luxurious city here. I don't want to be trapped on the island without any freedom." Haiming heard all kinds of questions and tried hard to swallow the last bite of barbecue.
Replied quickly.
"That's a pity. The direction we go back is also towards the island and it's not a smooth road. But if you want to enter the middle city, you won't be able to get there even if you're exhausted." Gu Zheng shook his head and said to him.
"It's impossible. My followers told me that our place is very close to the city. How could they lie to me?" Hai Ming said with doubt, but this did not prevent him from throwing the last bone into his mouth.
A banging sound resounded in the air.
"Why am I lying to you? If you really want to go to the nearest big city, let me tell you, you won't be able to get there without a few decades, and you will still be traveling at full speed day and night without stopping.
." After a little calculation, Gu Zheng came up with a rough distance.
Moreover, Gu Zheng calculated the distance to the nearest city he knew. Although he only glanced at the map on Director Feng's desk at that time, he still remembered it. Even with his pace, it would take a lot of time, let alone just one
A little guy who can walk on the road with his legs.
"ah?"
Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Hai Ming was a little stunned. He didn't know how it could be so far away. He had worked so hard all the way to get here, and then he realized that he was almost at the same place.
"How far am I from the beach now?"
With a trace of fantasy in his heart, he asked Gu Zheng.
"For me, it's probably less than a day's journey." Gu Zheng shrugged and told him this ruthless reality.
"Poof!"
After hearing this information, Hai Ming fell to the ground, his eyes filled with a sense of helplessness, and Gu Zheng could only hear him mumbling to himself.
"I worked so hard for a whole month to avoid people who were looking for me, and finally I walked this small distance!"
"That's the way it is, so my suggestion is that you don't want to go to the city. It's more appropriate to wait until your cultivation level is higher before going." Gu Zheng told the truth, but looking at the somewhat frustrated expression on the other person's face, he added
One sentence.
"Maybe you should prepare supplies for decades, maybe you can get there."
"Yes, I can definitely prepare more things next time." Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Hai Ming's eyes lit up and he said to himself, but in the blink of an eye, his expression fell silent, and the stimulant was gone.
live.
"They are all wary of my little thoughts. I have saved up these foods for several years."
"How about, how about I take you home, or do you follow me first? At least I will ensure that you have enough to eat. If you are willing to do some extra things, maybe I will give you enough supplies to let you go by yourself.
In the past, maybe one day when I am in a better mood, I can take you there."
Gu Zheng stood aside and spoke to him in seductive language.
It was just that Gu Zheng was so concerned, because after he successfully completed the inheritance of the ancestral god, he discovered that the spiritual energy that had hit his body also contained a trace of incense power.
It was because of the power of the incense that the strange black mist in his body disappeared so much.
But on the way back, Gu Zheng had already tested it and found that the power of the incense in his body could not have any effect on the remaining black energy at all. It had no effect at all.
But when Gu Zheng took a closer look inside Hai Ming's body just now, he suddenly noticed another unusual change in the black energy in his body. It seemed that after the previous cleansing, he had become much more sensitive to the power of incense that could threaten him.
From this subtle change, Gu Zheng knew that the other party seemed to be afraid of something.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, the unknown power of incense generated in this little boy's body makes him fearful.
Of course Gu Zheng wanted to get rid of the black energy in his body, so he wanted to find a way from Hai Ming.
If Haiming wants to go home, he will also help him.
He will not force the other party to follow him. If the other party is really unwilling to go back with him, he will have to find another way. After all, the black mist is a dead thing, and there is always a way to eliminate it from his body.
After all, this is just a mass of black mist. In my body, it is only dragging me down, preventing me from fully displaying my strength. It is not serious enough that I have to kidnap others.
"Okay, I won't go home, but if I want to leave home, you have to take me with you at any time." Haiming just thought about it and made up his mind, but still said his opinion to Gu Zheng
.
"no problem."
Mei Luoyu, who was waiting a little anxiously here, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gu Zheng flying back from a distance, but when he saw clearly that there was a child behind him, he was also surprised.
But she was smart and didn't say much. She just followed Gu Zheng and headed towards Xifeng Island again.
