After Gu Zheng waited for the exact news, his whole body began to run quickly. Since it was such an obvious feature, as long as he saw it, he would never miss it. He did not ask about the tribes on the way, but just looked at the specific location of the other party.
Where.
Half a month later, Gu Zheng's hurried figure suddenly stopped, flying above the high school, looking down with a heavy expression.
Under him, there should have been a relatively prosperous tribe, but now most of the houses inside have collapsed, with broken walls and messy tiles everywhere. Every building that is completely intact looks dilapidated.
.
As Gu Zheng's eyes passed over it carefully, among the collapsed houses, some dried blood stains could still be vaguely seen, and now they had turned into large black patches. A disgusting stench came from the village below, which made people feel uncomfortable.
People feel like vomiting when they hear it.
The eyes of Gu Zheng even saw some decayed stumps. It was obvious that this village had suffered a catastrophe before, and almost no one could escape.
Outside this tribe, there is basically no major chaos.
After carefully exploring the bottom, he found no signs of life. Gu Zheng shook his head, raised his body again, and looked ahead, but found nothing. However, Gu Zheng felt that he was almost close to his goal.
.
Because when he came over, he didn't notice this village at all, until he seemed to have passed through an invisible barrier, and the village suddenly appeared in front of him.
It seems that I have entered the blocked area, and my mission goal seems to be here.
Gu Zheng tentatively stepped back a little, but only flew a few thousand meters. Gu Zheng found that he was like a ghost hitting a wall. Even though he was flying, his position did not move at all. Only then did he think of the token in his arms.
It seems that the token is also a means for me to escape. If I encounter danger, I can also use this thing to escape from here.
Then Gu Zheng's figure flew inside again. Since the other party was trapped here, he didn't have to be so anxious.
Soon the island where Yunxia Village is located appeared in front of him.
Sure enough, when viewed from a high altitude, it looks like layers of clouds spread on the ground, and the small streams are glowing with light, which is the finishing touch that makes the entire island come alive.
But at this time, the island was in a mess, just like the previous ones, and it was even more miserable. The island was twice as big as that tribe, and it was estimated that at least 50,000 people had lived there.
Here, it's dead quiet now.
More importantly, Gu Zheng felt the atmosphere of war from above. Although it had been a long time, he could still see the tragic situation at that time, because in a corner of the island, it had been attacked by some external force and completely disappeared.
There are still many traces of battles on the island, with big pits everywhere.
But it seems that the soul-eating beast is the one who wins in the end, otherwise it would not be his turn to take on this mission.
"Um?"
Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the sky. At this time, it began to slowly darken, and finally he could not see his fingers. A strange feeling arose in his heart, as if he was isolated from the outside world.
Feeling the breath of the sky, I realized with a thought that this was forcibly cutting off the spiritual energy input here. As a result, the spiritual energy inside became less and less, which could gradually weaken the strength of the soul-eating beast, allowing him to
Physical trauma cannot be fully healed.
Gu Zheng remembered the information that the sloppy old man told him. The other party would try to break through here every once in a while. That was also when he was at his weakest.
The whole sky was pitch black, and Gu Zheng didn't move. He just calmly controlled his breath and listened to the sound of wind in the sky, as if he was retreating with him here.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and looked down. In the place that was originally pitch black, several groups of firelight began to appear one after another, and they were as conspicuous as sparks of fire.
After a moment, Gu Zheng twisted his figure in the air, and like a light bird, he silently went straight to the bonfires, and soon stood on a damaged roof. The fire below could not illuminate the place.
The entire figure is hidden in shadow.
Gu Zheng turned around and looked around. There were hundreds of people in the crowded open space, and in one place, more and more people were pouring out from under the ground.
"Hurry up and boil the water. Are there any dry food? Don't worry about eating. You idiot, quickly make some water and put it in it. Who knows when this dark night will pass." A familiar voice sounded in the distance, and at the same time
There was also a voice on the other side.
"Slow down, I tell you not to be in a hurry, otherwise I will throw you out to feed that ferocious beast."
Two figures shuttled back and forth between different bonfires, constantly giving instructions to everyone.
There are also some people with higher auras who are also maintaining order. Although ordinary people are still panicking, at least they have calmed down on the surface.
Soon, waves of not-so-appealing fragrance filled the air.
These bonfires seem to have a clear division of labor. Some are boiling water and packing it directly after boiling. Some are roasting some mud-like things, then mashing them and packing them in the same way. Some are simmering pots of messy things.
thing.
"Cuckoo"
So many people made their stomach growl at the same time, but no one ate the food to satisfy their hunger.
"Mom, I'm hungry." A little boy who was over ten years old looked at the things in the pot with greedy eyes. There were only many different types of vegetables in the pot. Occasionally, a piece of diced meat came up, which made the little boy salivate.
Straight up.
"It's almost time. Wait a moment. When Master Ancestor God serves dinner, we are eating. I will make sure you are full this time, okay." The mother hugged the boy tightly, and her exposed arms were already extremely full.
The thin, loose skin indicates that she was not so thin in the past.
"Um!"
After a full hour, the water in the pot in front of the mother and son has been taken away. After adding it three times, it is now insignificant compared to the original richness. The clear soup is watery, and the ingredients inside are boiled pale, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
No appetite.
The light of the bonfire was gradually weakening, and the surrounding temperature gradually began to become colder. Some people with weak constitutions were already shivering, but their eyes were still eager for the food in front of them.
"You can eat, please slow down!"
At this time, the first two figures finally roared, making everyone happy.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, thousands of people couldn't wait to grab the dishes in front of them, not afraid of burning them, and then rushed them into their mouths, and finally devoured them, fearing that if they were slow for a second, they would all be gone.
But it is true that in just a dozen breaths and each person reaching out twice at most, everything in front of them was already empty, with almost no residual juice left.
A small piece of diced meat fell on the ground accidentally in one person's hand. The person picked it up without saying a word and filled it towards the end without paying any attention to the soil on it.
"Mom, I'm still hungry!" The little boy from before, after eating the last bite of food, looked at the empty pot and looked at his mother.
"Good boy, come on! I have a little more here, which is enough for you to eat." The mother seemed to have known this for a long time. She smiled and took out half a bowl of food, which was the food she had not eaten just now.
He wasn't the only one who wasn't full. As soon as she took it out, the eyes of the people around her immediately shifted. Their eyes were filled with eagerness to grab it at the next moment.
"If you dare to rob, the Ancestral Gods will not spare you." The mother's eyes were fierce, she stared around, and said in her mouth.
Maybe something similar had happened before. Anyway, when those people heard this, even if they were unwilling to accept it, they put down their bodies and simply turned their heads away from looking, for fear that they would go up to snatch it if they couldn't control it.
"well"
Gu Zheng sighed softly, the most selfless thing in the world should be maternal love, no matter race, no matter when and where.
Because the name of the soul-eating beast made Gu Zheng a lot wary, he was sure that these people were not an illusion.
"who!"
Although this sigh was very small, it was still heard by the two people who were always vigilant, and they shouted at the same time.
Gu Zheng's figure immediately fell back and retreated from the roof into the distance.
"Hu Ping, pack your things and take everyone back quickly." One of the figures said to the people next to him, and then chased in the direction of Gu Zheng.
Soon he chased after him and shouted when he saw the figure chasing ahead.
"Old bird, did you find anything?"
"No, little monkey, is it our misunderstanding? Maybe the power that the monster inadvertently exudes is affecting this place." The old man slowly turned his head and said worriedly.
"It's hard to say. The other party's penetration here is getting stronger and stronger. I don't even dare to go outside, for fear of being trapped by the other party, otherwise I won't be able to find a lot of things. It's a pity that we wasted too much time in the front.
." The little monkey walked up to the old bird, and the strong disguise on his face disappeared.
"Yes!" Lao Niao's consciousness was constantly vigilant around him and said, "If the other party can really penetrate here, then all the things we have arranged before have been penetrated. What to do next, we really can only wait.
Die?"
His tone was full of despair, as if there was nothing he could do.
"Don't worry, there are still some connections in my perception. At most, it's just some aftermath. If we can hold on for a while, someone may save us." The little monkey looked at the old bird's expression and said quickly to cheer him up.
The two of them were alert and then headed back to find their way back.
"How to save? Dark times are becoming more frequent now. If one day, the darkness does not subside, this space will completely peel off from there and be abandoned. Who can still save us in the cracks of space!" The old bird winked.
He turned red and whispered, his body trembling with excitement.
"That's why I'm here!"
Gu Zheng didn't expect that he would meet the two of them again. It seemed that they were trapped here too.
After hearing their conversation in the darkness, I realized that the darkness was not only preventing the other party from replying, but also stripping away this space. Is the soul-eating beast inside so terrifying? Even the stewards and the others couldn't kill it.
This is the only way to do it.
However, when I think about the fact that even if the other party issues a mission, it also gives me a token to escape at any time, I know that the other party does not seem to expect that I can solve the other party in the first place.
Seeing the other party's negative look and starting to leave, Gu Zheng walked out of the darkness and said.
"Who are you?"
When the old bird and the little bird saw a stranger suddenly appear, they immediately became nervous and yelled at him.
"I haven't seen you for a while, why don't you recognize me?" Gu Zheng said, spreading his hands.
"Be careful!" The little monkey gave the old man a look and even raised his weapon.
"Know you? Haha, you are no longer allowed to enter or leave this ghost place. Who else are you trying to fool? If you don't tell us, we won't be polite." Although he was threatening like this, his body was still slowly retreating.
When Gu Zheng saw the unfamiliar look in his eyes, he realized that he had not yet taken off his disguise.
He scratched his face, tore off his disguise and returned to his original appearance.
"It's that evil god!" The little monkey almost jumped up when he saw it.
"What evil spirit are you making such a fuss about? The other party must be the monster that read the memories in our minds and created it. Go back quickly. They have probably returned safely and we don't need to wait for more time." The old bird didn't say anything.
They were startled. Although they were equally surprised when Gu Zheng returned to his original appearance, he still said calmly. At the same time, those eyes were staring at him, for fear that Gu Zheng would get angry and attack them.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the other party's serious look, but he also knew how much of a shadow that soul-eating beast had brought to them, although he was surprised by their spirit of protecting those people with their bodies.
When did the two bandits who robbed others have such good intentions, but could not recognize themselves and used themselves as a means of soul-eating beasts? That is unforgivable.
He was originally his own defeated opponent, but now he was seriously injured in his body. Seeing the disbelief on the other party's face, Gu Zheng knew that if he wanted to make the other party believe in him, he would definitely have to talk a lot, and he might not necessarily believe it yet.
Gu Zheng thought of a good idea, smiled evilly, and rushed towards the opponent in a flash.
"Be careful!" the old bird shouted immediately.
"boom!"
"Bang bang!"
Gu Zheng used his absolute strength to tell them how weak they were, even though they could not display their strength even in the early stages of Jinxian. In just one stick of incense, the two of them were lying on the ground without any resistance.
This is Gu Zheng's mercy. If he wanted the other party's life, the other party would lie down earlier.
"Whoever wants to be afraid of death is a coward! Let's fight with him, old bird, and we won't let him control our bodies until we die." The little monkey, unable to move on the ground, shouted loudly towards Gu Zheng not far away,
It seems like it can get rid of the fear in my heart.
"Snapped"
Gu Zheng took a step forward, causing the little monkey to speak quickly.
"I asked if we could discuss it and let us go. You can't escape anyway. We still have a companion left behind."
He was talking nonsense like this, but Gu Zheng noticed that there seemed to be something in the opponent's hand, and it seemed that he wanted to distract himself and attack him secretly.
"Stop making trouble! The other party is really Mr. Gu!" The old bird with a somewhat light hand grabbed the little monkey's arm, and his next movement was instantly stopped.
If they were really transformed by monsters, they would have been left lying on the ground without any problems, and they would have probably died long ago.
"Ah!" The monkey was a little dumbfounded. It turned out that it was really an ancient dispute. He had confessed his mistake just now. He was beaten in vain. Now his whole body is bruised and swollen. He can't see anyone.
"Get up, don't cry sadly, I won't do anything to you this time!" Gu Zheng saw that they finally understood and lifted the restrictions in their bodies, it was still so simple and clear.
"That's not right, Mr. Gu, how did you get in! This place has been separated from the outside!" The little monkey stood up and patted himself a few times. The external injuries were healed in the blink of an eye.
"Of course it depends on this." Gu Zheng took out the token in his arms and put it away in a flash.
"hiss"
"You are really rich. This thing is worth a lot of money. No wonder you can come in with confidence." Although it was fleeting, the two of them recognized the thing clearly.
As long as this thing can feel the aura here, even if you are exposed in the turbulence of space, you can accurately locate it here, but there is no such thing as a coincidence.
"It's okay. The mission I took on this time is to get rid of the soul-eating beasts here. How did you get here? Aren't you from the south?" Gu Zheng also asked very curiously.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a huge roar came from the distance, and from behind the darkness of the sky, a wisp of colorful clouds emerged, and the whole world began to slowly light up.
"Let's leave here first. There is a disguise at the previous location. The soul-eating beast you mentioned cannot find us." The old bird's face changed and he said to Gu Zheng.
"Walk!"
Gu Zheng felt the infinite power, as if an ancient ferocious beast was roaring, but he did not show off. After all, he could already see the danger this time, and even prepared the tools to escape for himself.
The three people hurried towards the place where they had eaten. At this time, except for the mess on the ground, everyone had disappeared without a trace.
With a quick sweep of his mind, he didn't notice anything unusual nearby.
"This way!"
The little monkey took the lead and led Qiaomian to a relatively open place, and then one by one he lifted off a simple disguise, and underneath it turned out to be a dry well that was flush with the ground.
You can see all the way down at a glance. Even if there are some debris piled below, even if you look into it with your spiritual consciousness, there is nothing abnormal at all.
"I'm going down first!" The little monkey glanced at the increasingly bright sky, said hastily, and jumped down.
Just when the opponent was about to fall below, a layer of ripples suddenly appeared in the air, swallowing the little monkey and disappearing.
Even though Gu Zheng saw it with his own eyes, he didn't notice any difference in his consciousness, it was like an illusion.
But he didn't hesitate. Just as the little monkey disappeared, Gu Zheng also jumped down.
As soon as he landed in the air, Gu Zheng felt that he had passed through a cold film and found that he was already standing in another place.
Before Gu Zheng could take a look around, the figure of the old bird appeared in front of Gu Zheng not far away, and the little monkey smiled and came forward.
