"Shelter?" Gu Zheng said doubtfully, then took a few steps forward and looked at the place carefully.
It is obvious that this is an underground cave. When you raise your head, above your head, you can see the dry well before, but the distance is several times longer than before. A simple fixed wooden board is propped against the wall. If it is ordinary
If people want to get out, they can only climb out. It's very magical.
The entire cave is very large. At least five thousand people can live in it without any problems. However, according to my own observation, there are only more than a thousand people here, so it is spacious enough.
Unknown red fluorescent beads were embedded in the wall, filling the entire cave with a strange red light.
In the cave next to it, there are stone caves that have been opened long ago. Through several unoccupied stone caves, basic things are all available inside.
Those monsters had already returned to their respective residences, and some secretly looked at the door, watching this unexpected guest.
"That's that?" Gu Zheng looked at a corner and saw a figure sitting there, but there was some simple food in front of him.
But that person has been dead for a long time, and apart from a decayed body, even his soul is gone.
"This man is the ancestral god of the tribe here. I'm afraid you have seen the tragic situation in the villages outside when you came. There are now a total of more than 100,000 people in the four nearby villages. Now there are only more than a thousand people. If he hadn't protected the two of us in the end,
I'm afraid you won't be able to see us either." The old bird said sadly.
"Is that soul-eating beast so powerful? And why are you here?" Gu Zheng asked curiously, and he also wanted to know some additional information about the soul-eating beast.
"Soul-eating beast? Is that the name of that monster? It really matches! It is very powerful. When he first appeared, we gathered together, three golden immortals in the middle stage, two golden immortals in the peak stage, and one golden immortal in the late stage besieged him
, but was completely defeated by the opponent. Except for the two of us, everyone died. If it weren’t for the cave he accidentally left before, I’m afraid we would have died long ago.”
There was a flash of fear in the little monkey's eyes, as if he had seen the scene where they confidently wanted to kill each other, but were defeated by the other party.
"The thing is, after you let us go, Mr. Gu, we came to the west. For the wandering ancestors, there is no geographical distinction. We can go wherever we want." The old bird sighed at the side.
In just a few words, they recounted their itinerary.
After they left, they came all the way here, and then returned to their old business. Unfortunately, after only a few successes, they were discovered by a very powerful ancestor god. They were beaten seriously and barely escaped. At that time, they
They came to this island and received help from the ancestral god in front of them, thus saving their lives.
Unfortunately, just when their injuries were just recovering, one of the Ancestral Gods barged in here like crazy, as if he had lost his mind. Just when they wanted to subdue him, all the power of the incense on the other person suddenly exploded, and his whole body
It died like a deflated balloon.
If only it was like this. At any time, there are people who are not afraid of death and want to study the secret of the power of incense. The methods of death are different.
But before the other party could get close enough to collect his body, a black energy flashed out from the other party's body and devoured that person's body in the blink of an eye.
A monster is born from it. Normally, the sky is filled with black mist. Only at certain times will it return to a strange appearance.
And it is very good at controlling their hearts, causing people to have various hallucinations, and even the whole person can be controlled by it. It is impossible to guard against it, and even they cannot completely resist it.
When it appeared, it was impossible to escape from here, but it was still possible to come in at that time. Some nearby ancestor gods sensed the situation here. After entering, they joined forces to prepare to kill, but they were killed in reverse.
And that monster started to cause a bloody storm here, devouring monsters, and all the surrounding villages were devoured by him.
After the two of them narrowly escaped with their lives, they went to save some nearby people who were lucky enough to survive, but that was all that was left.
At the end, even the little monkeys were in tears. So many compatriots died at the hands of the other side, which made them extremely painful. If it were not for the continued survival of these people, they would have committed suicide and attacked the other side.
"Do you know what big noise will happen nearby?" After hearing this, Gu Zheng finally understood how this soul-eating beast appeared, and then he asked his most relevant question.
"Motion? Of course there is. Every time after dark, the monster will appear in the main body, attacking crazily outside, seeming to want to escape from here, but we are just guessing that in such a violent situation, we dare not go out
, that movement is really scary." The little monkey said immediately after hearing it.
"I heard you say before the night here, it's getting longer and longer now, why is it so short this time!" Gu Zheng asked, thinking of the terrifying roar that was about to dawn.
"I'm afraid that your coming in has attracted the attention of the monster, so it forcibly tore open the night, trying to seize your teleportation token and leave here. After all, the monster does not only have instincts, but also seems to have a lot of sanity.
." The old monkey said slowly beside him.
"Master Gu, you heard what we said just now. If the night really doesn't disappear, it means that we have been abandoned. Except for your token to leave here, all of us, including the monster, will be forgotten here.
, until death." The little monkey said with some fear.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of being alone. If so, they might as well die.
"So that's it." Gu Zheng looked above thoughtfully. Unfortunately, he couldn't see from the outside, and he couldn't sense anything outside. It seemed to be divided into two worlds, and the only link was this dry well.
"Now this area is the only place that is not affected by him. Outside, I use magic weapons to suppress the surrounding area. We can only go out when it is dark and when the opponent's power is at its weakest. There is no way to light a bonfire here, otherwise
I will suffocate them to death." The little monkey continued.
They don't need to eat or drink, but these ordinary people have to survive.
Gu Zheng felt that the two of them had at least changed a little more than before, maybe it was these things.
The air suddenly became silent.
"You don't have much supplies, right?" Gu Zheng was the first to break the calm and asked.
"It's very little. I can support it for half a year at most. Everything is gone. No one could have imagined that such a powerful force could fail. Mr. Gu, you can't really accept the mission here. I advise you not to cooperate with me."
The other party is having a fight. Get out of here quickly. The other party is too strong!" Little Monkey said, and then he remembered the purpose of Gu Zheng coming here.
"Don't worry, since I dare to pick it up, I have a certain degree of confidence. Besides, if we don't solve him, not only will this space be lost, but so many lives will also be lost." Gu Zheng shook his head and said. In fact, there is another reason.
Didn't say it out loud.
That's because of these huge points. Only red coins can be exchanged for points. In order to prepare the wanted order, and because I wasted too much time finding this place, I may not have that much time to take on more tasks.
This mission must be completed by yourself, otherwise you won't be able to make it in time.
"Please share these things with everyone first. Don't save them. We will go back soon." Gu Zheng took out a bracelet and handed it over. Most of it contained simple food and could be eaten directly. This
There is enough to feed thousands of people for a year.
"That's great. I'd like to thank Mr. Gu on their behalf." Lao Niao took it and took a look at it, and said happily.
"But Gu Zhengzi, the other party is very powerful, you have to pay more attention." The little monkey said worriedly from the side.
"I know, I will be more careful." Gu Zheng said confidently.
With this place to hide, Gu Zheng could stay here with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the other party to find him here when he tried to break through.
If there wasn't this place, I'm afraid we would have to face that terrible enemy when the ancient war broke out.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was so confident, the two of them hesitated to speak, and in the end they didn't say anything.
In their hearts, they also strive to defeat that terrifying monster. Only in this way can they leave here. In the final analysis, no one wants to die.
The old bird here took the bracelet given by Gu Zheng, leaving the little monkey tied up with him, and began to walk towards the caves. These monsters had not eaten enough for several days, and their strong bodies were as thin as firewood.
One by one, the demons caught the food that was enough for them to eat for several meals, and everyone looked at Gu Zheng gratefully. The old bird told them the source of the food, but he did not tell Gu Zheng to come here.
the goal of.
I'm afraid that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
Looking at these monsters, except for some physical characteristics that show that they are monsters, their behavior is almost exactly the same as that of humans.
Although their identities are demons, the countless years of assimilation here have prevented these people from becoming demons at all. Only by breaking through to the heavenly realm can they transform into demons again.
Under the leadership of the little monkey, Gu Zheng left the hall and came to an uninhabited cave, where he settled down safely for the time being.
Originally, Gu Zheng didn't want to be in a hurry. According to what the two of them said, dark night would almost come once every ten days, but the two dark nights had passed, and the soul-eating beast didn't even try to break through.
He also tentatively came to the well a few times, but he could feel that there was always a vigilant gaze in the sky scanning all the spaces. It seemed that his arrival had alarmed the other party, so that the other party did not dare to go.
Try to break through the passage, as if you feel weak you will be fatally attacked.
The more I thought about the ancient dispute, the more I felt that my idea was correct. The other party was really keen. Maybe he was aware of something, so a new idea emerged in his mind.
On this day, the sky remained unchanged. Viewed from a high altitude, the originally pretty Yunxia Island also looked dark and lifeless.
Gu Zheng, who had regained his original appearance, stood high in the sky and looked down quietly. The breeze blew in, and the strange smell mixed with it had already made him close his mouth and nose.
His consciousness was constantly scanning the sky, and he stood there defenseless, just waiting for the soul-eating beast to appear.
But the sky was quiet. He had been standing here for half a day, and the other party still did not appear.
"Qiang"
A long sword of good quality was suddenly drawn out by Gu Zheng. Layers of golden light emerged from his hand and slowly covered the long sword. Suddenly, bright golden light rose in the air, and traces of spiritual energy were drawn out between the heaven and the earth.
Coming over, strong winds formed, and some surrounding clouds were attracted towards this direction unconsciously.
The intense golden light was as solid as substance, and the invisible energy kept blowing around him, making the clothes on Gu Zheng's body rustle.
In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng raised the long sword in his hand and slashed into the void in front of him, making a heavy sonic boom sound. All the energy was condensed together, and a huge sword energy suddenly appeared in the air and moved towards the distance.
A cloud cuts away.
The huge wind pressure rushed past instantly. Wherever it passed, the clouds in the sky shattered one after another, cutting from large pieces into small pieces, and then from small pieces into nothingness. However, there was always a cloud, which seemed not to be affected by any energy.
Still floating quietly in the air.
No matter how strong the wind blows, I remain still.
In an instant, the sword shadow slashed hard on the clouds, and the originally solid clouds suddenly opened a huge gap, and the seemingly solid clouds continued to melt around the sword energy.
Countless clouds and mist rolled up and were squeezed and pushed out on both sides.
After a few breaths, the cloud was shot through in an instant, and the powerful sword energy continued to rush out, quickly disappearing from sight.
"Roar"
An angry roar sounded in the air, and the colorful clouds that were scattered gathered together under a certain force, and the originally pure white clouds suddenly turned into black.
In the blink of an eye, the large area in front of him turned into a black sea that was constantly churning, gusts of dark wind kept blowing, and howling sounds filled the sky.
The other party was actually hiding aside, making it easy for Gu Zheng to find a meal.
With the Soul-Eating Beast in this state, Gu Zheng had heard Xiaohou and the others say that all the events of their last battle had been revealed, and Gu Zheng already understood some of the Soul-Eating Beast's attack methods.
But last time they didn't see its true form at all, and were directly defeated by this black mist.
Dots of red light rose in the black mist, and Gu Zheng could feel the eyes looking from above, like the eyes of a soul-eating beast.
"Roar"
A huge roar sounded again from the rolling black fog, and at the same time, a strange wave flashed in the air,
However, Gu Zheng could strangely sense the slightest hint of warning from the other party.
"This is my territory, get out of here."
Gu Zheng's expression condensed. It seemed that the other party could sense things that many people could not sense. For example, his true identity was indeed interesting. How was it formed?
He was thinking like this in his mind, but he kept moving his hands. He was not chatting with the other party, but wanted to see how powerful the other party's immortal body was.
In the last battle, with full firepower, Little Monkey and the others defeated the black fog in just a few rounds. Only then did they relax their vigilance, and the other party took the opportunity to invade their minds. As a result, they were briefly confused by the other party, and they turned to each other.
Start killing.
Stabilizing his body and ignoring the violent hurricane, Gu Zheng threw the long sword in his hand.
The entire long sword flashed with golden light, transforming into thousands of golden sword shadows in the air, layer upon layer covering the sky, with the sword tip pointed directly at the black mist.
The next moment, there was a loud cry of swords in the sky, and the shadow of a sword instantly shot towards the bottom like a long dragon, and countless meteors flew towards the bottom with a screaming sound.
Originally, the soul-devouring beast didn't seem to want to fight Gu Zheng, but when it saw that the opponent was attacking first, it would not surrender. Black balls as big as fists emerged from the black mist and shot towards the sky one by one.
"Puff puff puff"
The seemingly menacing black balls were in mid-air, but they were pierced one by one at the moment of contact, turning into black energy that filled the sky, which did not block any of Sword Shadow's attacks at all.
However, when those sword shadows passed through, the outside was already covered with thick black air, and the color of the sword shadows was almost invisible. Even so, they were all lost in the rolling black mist.
"Rumble"
Explosions in the sky continued to sound, and every golden sword broke in the explosion, making a deafening sound. Large black mist was drawn into the center of the explosion in the air, and was directly destroyed.
The black fog that filled the sky was blown into pieces, and it seemed that it had been severely damaged.
But just before the golden sword landed, in the black mist, a large section of black mist separated from above.
Almost all the black mist was condensed, and thousands of black swords were also condensed, glowing with bright black light, and shot towards Gu Zheng, almost simulating Gu Zheng's attack method.
"ding-ding-ding-ding-ding"
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to grab it, and the long sword that had been escaped from the sky flew upside down in his hand. His whole body began to move rapidly, and he began to resist the black sword in front of him.
The two intersected, making the sound of gold and iron. None of the dense black swords broke into Gu Zheng's body, and they were all knocked away by Gu Zheng one by one.
However, when those black swords were knocked out, they would stack up on top of each other in the air. By the time Gu Zheng suddenly became empty in front of him, those long swords were already densely packed together, forming a strange arrangement.
As the last black sword returned to its position, all the black swords suddenly lit up, and countless black lines appeared around the black swords, linking all the black swords together.
A black dragon composed of countless black swords suddenly appeared in the air, but if you look carefully, it is just a piece of black swords, and even the outside is full of sharp sword tips.
But under some mysterious force, now it seems like a whole body, rushing towards the ancient struggle quickly.
"Qiang"
Gu Zheng quickly turned sideways, dodging the opponent's surprise attack, and then slashed his sword towards the opponent's side, making a loud sound.
Even Gu Zheng felt his wrists trembling.
Originally, I wanted to pick off half of the black swords, but I found that each black sword has been integrated with the black dragon. If I go up to pick off half of the black swords, I will face the entire opponent.
The dragon here accelerated and was suspended in the air again. The big mouth made of long swords kept opening and closing, and the eyes surrounded by several black swords were staring at him.
Gu Zheng looked around with his peripheral vision. Apart from sporadic black mist, the soul-eating beast could no longer be seen in the entire sky.
