"We are not going the wrong way, why do we feel that it is getting more and more difficult to go ahead!"
In the sky full of wind and snow, the two figures were moving forward with difficulty, and Xingcai's helpless voice sounded in the air.
After they had been flying for half a day, the further they went, the bigger and denser the snowflakes in the sky became. Accompanied by the howling wind, the snowflakes were like hailstones, rushing and dense.
The fall caused ripples outside the two of them. They could still see a long distance, but now they could only see within a few feet in front of them.
It is still blurry like this, and even the detection of spiritual consciousness is interfered with, and it is impossible to detect too much distance at all.
Fortunately, the current body-protecting spiritual light can still isolate the cold from the body, otherwise I would have to freeze to death here.
"You shouldn't have gone the wrong way. If you keep at it, we'll probably be out soon." Gu Zheng encouraged Xingcai behind him, but he felt a little worried.
This is just the outermost layer, but it is so powerful. Once inside, the mechanism is even more powerful.
He raised his head and saw that the darkness above his head was getting darker and darker, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness.
"Huh?" Xingcai suddenly said in surprise.
"What?" Gu Zheng was shocked and asked suddenly.
"There seems to be something over there, but I can't see it very clearly." Xingcai pointed to the right and said to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked along and saw a dark thing standing in the distance among the overlapping white shadows.
"Let's go over and take a look!"
Gu Zheng said, after seeing Xingcai nodding, he immediately rushed towards that side with her. In just ten breaths, he could already see the situation over there relatively clearly.
It turned out to be a contiguous group of palaces covering a very wide area.
Perhaps there is something special here. As they get closer to here, the snowflakes in the sky become smaller and smaller. When they fall on the ground, they are almost the same size as when they wake up from a coma.
"puff"
Gu Zheng and the others had just landed, and they found that half of Xiao Xiao's calves were not even under the ground. Even though the snowflakes were not big, a thick layer of snow had already formed on the ground.
"Forget it, let's fly. Be careful." Gu Zheng took a look and flew out from the ground, flying close to the snow.
Xingcai shook her legs and feet, and after shaking off the snow from her body, she also learned how to fight in ancient times. Compared with this little consumption, it was much better than walking in a snow nest.
At this time, the hall in front of them was not very big, and the main door had long been damaged. At a glance, the contents inside were clearly visible, but now it looked empty. Coupled with the snowflakes floating from the outside, the hall was also filled with snowflakes.
A layer of white snow.
The two people continued to move forward along the side of the palace, wanting to see what else was here, and maybe they could find something. Of course, they hoped that there would be a teleportation circle to leave this area.
As the two walked, they carefully observed their surroundings.
They noticed that the walls of many surrounding halls were already somewhat tattered, and there were many traces of battles on them, as if they had gone through some kind of battle.
As they went deeper, they suddenly found a huge open space, with more than a dozen scattered jade pillars above, but more of them were broken into two parts, giving people a very dilapidated look.
There is a relatively tall palace further up, and there are layers of stone steps leading there. The shadow I saw before is this palace.
The two people did not stop at the square and continued walking forward.
When they reached the top, they discovered that half of the wall below the palace had collapsed, leaving only broken walls and some faint black and dried blood.
"Why is this place so scary? It feels like a fierce battle." Xingcai looked at some and said with a frown.
"If I'm not wrong, this place should be the last time the traitors attacked here, and then the resistance here caused all this. It is obvious that they all gathered here after breaking through the formation outside, but it seems
In the end, they were all slaughtered." Gu Zheng glanced at the main hall, but there was nothing noteworthy.
"That's it. I thought someone came here before us to fight." Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the orb again with her tight palms. She was in the middle of fighting at any time just now.
"You can feel it by looking at the fluctuations of spiritual energy around you. It seems that there is nothing here. Everything has been looted. Don't look at other places. Let's leave." Gu Zheng shook his head and said.
"good!"
Xingcai also knew that when she was about to leave with Gu Zheng, a small sound suddenly came to her ears. Before she could react, she heard an explosion from the side.
"What happened?"
"A puppet that hasn't lost power yet, but it's already mutilated. It seems that it sensed our arrival and made a sound. Unfortunately, the energy in the body can only make the opponent move a little bit." Gu Zheng reached out and grabbed it.
The sword came back with a swipe from there, and was put away again by Gu Zheng.
Seeing this, Xingcai also put away the reactivated orb.
The two of them just reached the sky and hurried forward.
And just when Gu Zheng launched the attack, far away from here, the Blood Sect Master and the people behind him were rushing in the wind and snow, but this was his first time here, and unfortunately he was also lost.
.
"Stop!" The Blood Sect Master suddenly stretched out his hand and said towards the back,
The people behind him all ordered and prohibited, and they all stood still in the air.
I saw the blood sect leader's eyes facing a certain direction, a flash of blood rising in his eyes, and two small red whirlpools appearing, which seemed to penetrate the endless snowflakes and see into the distance.
"Ha, it turns out that someone has rushed over a long time ago. Judging from the look of the other party, he should know how to get out. Let's go! Follow them and save some time."
The Blood Sect Master returned to normal after a while, and said with a smile.
The entire team followed the Blood Sect Master and rushed in one direction. That direction was the palace complex that Gu Zheng had just left.
Here Gu Zheng also began to continue moving in the previous direction. At this time, he understood that he was going in a good direction, because there were scattered palaces in front of him. They were said to be palaces, but Gu Zheng looked more like residences. Inside
There are some weathered daily necessities, which should be where servants once lived.
It's just that each building is extremely majestic and looks like a palace.
There was no looting inside, but there was nothing of note.
Fortunately, the snow and wind in the sky showed no signs of getting worse. It seemed to have reached its limit, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.
Half an hour later, the originally flat terrain became obviously higher, and there was a towering mountain peak in the distance. It was obvious that a special aura came from above, and it could be felt even though they were so far apart.
Gu Zheng and Xingcai looked at each other and rushed over instantly.
As we approached the valley, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly dropped to a certain level. Only light snow continued to fall from the sky, and even the dark clouds overhead became much brighter.
"It seems like this should be it!" Gu Zheng said to Xingcai as he looked at the gradually rising mountain peaks and a valley below.
The two people fell towards the only entrance to the valley. At this time, the snow under their feet barely covered the tops of their shoes, but it did not affect their actions at all.
"What is this!" Xingcai looked at a human figure on the wall leaning against the mountain wall. He walked over curiously and blew on it. The snow on it blew away with the wind, revealing a crystal puppet.
The whole body is made of a kind of blue crystal, and it is integrated. Even the facial features are clearly carved. If you only look at the appearance, it looks like a real person, but at this time, his eyes are closed.
"It should be a guard puppet, but it seems to be damaged." Gu Zheng glanced at it and saw that the humanoid puppet had a big hole in the hollow of its heart. It seemed that it had lost its power source a long time ago.
"It's really exquisite." Xingcai got closer, and through her slightly transparent body, she could see many ancient runes engraved directly inside, which made her, a person who didn't know anything at all, find it pleasing to the eye and wanted to study it.
Ichiban.
Gu Zheng walked towards another humanoid puppet on the ground. After sweeping away the snow from its body, he found that only half of its body was lying on the ground, still motionless. The only difference was that there was no big hole in its chest, only from the waist down.
All gone.
"Master Gu, it seems that this place was broken into just like the others." Xingcai turned around and gave up studying the puppet. She didn't understand it at all, so why waste time.
"Yes, we'd better leave..." Gu Zheng said following her words. Just as he raised his head, his face suddenly changed and he rushed towards Xingcai, like a whirlwind grabbing Xingcai's shoulders and moving back.
.
Xingcai couldn't understand the situation at all, and was still surprised when he saw an ice spear slashing across where he was. If Gu Zheng hadn't pulled him back in time, the ice spear would have pierced his heart.
.
The puppet, who was leaning sideways on the mountain wall, opened his eyes at some point, condensed an ice spear from his hand and threw it towards Xingcai's back.
Moreover, there was no sound at all during this movement, and even the weapon did not show the slightest killing intent when flying. If Gu Zheng hadn't happened to see it, Xingcai would have been injured.
The puppet dodged when he saw Xingcai, and the blue runes on his body lit up again. Countless ice and snow blew up from the ground, surrounding him. The next moment, a puppet possessed by ice and snow armor rushed over.
.
With one hand in hand, the snowflakes in the air condensed on their own and formed a spear again.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party in surprise. Even at this moment, the other party had no breath at all, just like the stones next to him, a pile of lifeless stones.
"Stand back, I'll deal with him, be careful!" Gu Zheng said to the star on his body, and at the same time he stood up and went up.
Looking at the opponent's spear, he was not careless at all. A long sword flashed out of his hand and sliced directly towards the opponent's weapon.
"clang"
A crisp sound resounded in the air, and the strength of the two people was evenly matched in the air. Even if Gu Zheng did not use all his strength at this time, he could still get a glimpse of the terrifying strength of the puppet.
Gu Zheng watched as the opponent dropped his weapon and rushed directly towards him from the air. A blue light condensed in his palm. The originally seemingly hard arm bent like water and hit Gu Zheng on the head.
Down.
Gu Zheng also raised his other hand, with a flash of golden light in his hand, and faced the opponent's blue crystal fist.
"Buzz"
A blue light flashed on the opponent's fist, and the runes in his arm increased in number. A blue light the size of a wrist shot out from above, streaking through the air at extremely fast speeds with frost.
At such a close distance, almost as soon as the blue light was seen, the light had already reached Gu Zheng's fist.
“Just in time!”
Gu Zheng couldn't feel the pressure at all from there. It was certain that the other party was interfering with him. The strength in his hand strengthened again. As the golden light on the fist flashed again, the blue light had not yet come into play, and was struck by Gu Zheng.
It was broken and collided with the opponent's arm.
There was a loud "bang" sound.
Gu Zheng's fist was shattering, accompanied by blue ice crystals, and finally hit the opponent's shoulder.
Xingcai saw the puppet that had lost half of its body. The body flew out directly. With a flash in the air, it embedded itself on the side of the valley, stirring up large pieces of snow and falling from it, causing a wave of white waves.
Gu Zheng did not pursue it, but frowned and looked at the palm of his hand. A layer of blue light spread out between his fists towards himself, and a biting chill similar to the outside penetrated towards his arm.
Layers of blue frost continued to freeze on his arms, and his whole arm felt a little stiff.
A layer of flame suddenly burned from his arm, and the blue frost was instantly evaporated.
"Huhu"
At this time, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly increased, and the wind and snow outside were attracted by a mysterious force. In Gu Zheng's eyes, they all rushed towards the location of the puppet over there.
The hesitation puppet has no life form, and Gu Zheng does not know the opponent's current situation, but thinking about the armor formed by the condensed snowflakes just now, he also knows that the opponent manipulates the wind and snow to heal himself.
Thinking of this, he rushed over again. He was still halfway, and the long sword in his hand was thrown directly in an instant.
"Rumble"
In the middle of the blizzard, a violent explosion sounded, completely shattering the blizzard.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and a strong wind rose, blowing away all the splashing snow particles, revealing the situation below.
At this time, the puppet had been blown into several pieces, and its head was blown away. In another place, at the heart, a long sword with glittering golden light was inserted into the ground, half of the sword body was not in the ground, and there were several more beside it.
Broken body fragments.
"This puppet's strength and skills are average, and it should be made on a large scale. If we fight alone, it may only have the strength of the late Golden Immortal, and may not even be able to beat it." Gu Zheng took a few steps forward,
After crushing a few blue crystal stones, he pulled out his long sword and said to Xingcai.
"This thing should be a puppet used to guard the door. There may be something stronger inside. You must know that in the black dragon's lair, judging from his cultivation level, he will not have some low-level guards. We should be careful."
Xingcai came over here and said to Gu Zheng.
"I know, but I thought this thing was broken. I didn't expect it could still move. It seems I have to be more careful in the future." Gu Zheng agreed with Xingcai's point of view. You can't be careless here.
At this moment, Xingcai's expression changed, and the orb in his hand flew behind Gu Zheng like a meteor.
"boom"
Gu Zheng looked along the orb and saw a blue head appearing behind him unconsciously. His eyes actually lit up, wanting to sneak attack him.
But he had no chance. Before the opponent's attack could be launched, the orb hit him directly, and his whole head was smashed into pieces like tofu.
"Ding"
A blue crystal core popped out of the opponent's head, and before it hit the ground, Gu Zheng reached out and sucked it in.
"Isn't this the same crystal core that my father took out?" Xingcai said curiously after recalling the weapon, approaching Gu Zheng.
"It should be different. It's just that this should be the opponent's driving core. It seems that it is hidden in the head to control this body. If it doesn't destroy the opponent, it will never stop." Gu Zheng came to the half-length puppet and touched it with his feet.
With a slight push, there was a hole behind the opponent's head, and the core inside was long gone.
"Let's go, don't waste any more time here."
After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he walked towards the valley, and Xingcai followed behind him, but she had already taken out her weapon.
Her cultivation here is indeed a bit weak. Even the lowest level puppet has similar strength to her, which makes her feel a little nervous.
"If someone wants to hurt you, they have to go through me." Gu Zheng could see her nervousness. Without Xingba's protection, she would inevitably feel a little uneasy.
Although Gu Zheng is very powerful, compared to Star Hegemon, there is still at least hundreds of Gu Zheng behind. There is no comparison between the two.
Even with Gu Zheng's comfort, Xingcai still couldn't completely calm down, but Gu Zheng's words at least gave her some peace of mind. There was a layer of safer protection, and at least Da Luo was much safer.
The higher the two people went up, the higher the terrain became, just like a very flat hillside.
Moreover, the densely packed buildings inside were all crowded together, but most of them were damaged. Gu Zheng and Xingcai also picked up a few halls that looked slightly complete and went in. In the end, there was nothing except some garbage.
Those broken magic weapons that cannot even be refurbished cannot be refurbished, but it doesn't take up much space when you carry them with you.
After seeing that this place had been looted, Gu Zheng and the others also searched again, but they just took the time to continue on their way.
Soon the buildings behind were forgotten and we came to a road going up the mountain.
"Is there any formation to leave here?" Xingcai looked at the back, and they looked through it again, but didn't find anything strange.
"I can feel a force above, it should be a teleportation array." Gu Zheng concentrated on sensing it, and could vaguely feel a powerful force. Judging from the aura, it should be a teleportation array.
The spiritual pressure here is so strong that it can almost destroy their spiritual consciousness.
"Then let's go up quickly!" Xingcai behind him urged.
