With a flash of light on Gu Zheng's side, the five of them appeared in a forest. The sun was shining brightly above their heads, and a wisp of breeze came out, making them all feel very cool.
"The scenery here looks very nice. This is what you call the underground palace." Xiaoying looked around. Except for the absence of insects and birds, it looked like a forest.
"Of course it is. This is just the top floor. There is almost nothing on this floor. The place to enter the lower floor is in the center. But we need to get rid of some miasma on this floor. There is no danger. You guys
The two of you are here to get rid of the miasma, and we will go straight down."
As he spoke, Zhou Xuan pointed at the two people and said. At the same time, the white ball that looked like the inner elixir in his hand split into five even small white balls and was sent towards each hand.
The two people nodded, indicating that they understood. After receiving the two white balls, they flew to one side.
"Are they okay like this?" Gu Zheng asked as he watched the other party separate.
"It's okay. There is nothing on this floor. Those who come in must be disappointed, because the things that really catch their eye are all placed below, and there are very few. After all, this is just a temporary transmission channel, and it is still man-made.
How can there be any good things in construction?" Zhou Xuan said hehe.
"So, their coming in has helped us." Xiaoying said from the side.
"That's not true. After all, we need to clean up those things. My companions and I could have slowly cleaned up before going in, but now we can't. Gu Zheng, you must go down first, because you can only teleport once, so starting from the third floor, you must
It's accelerated." Zhou Xuan explained at the same time as he began to fly in one direction.
Gu Zheng nodded, knowing that the teleportation array could only be opened once, and of course the unknown enemy would definitely rob it together in the dark.
The figures of the four people continued to fly forward, and other people could be sensed around them. They were also looking for treasures here. They even met some people on the way, but when the other party saw a few of them gathering together, they
None of them stayed, and they even left as if running away, for fear of being left behind by Gu Zheng and the others.
They won't provoke these scattered people. After all, the other party is now their thugs to clean up. Even if they don't want to, they can more or less help them.
In just a cup of tea, Gu Zheng and his group came to a huge open space, but obviously they were not the first to arrive. A dozen or so people were already here, looking at an empty black hole in the middle.
The black hole in the middle is as big as a house, and the bottom is bottomless, and there is a vague and frightening wave.
"This is what is called going to the entrance below. Why does it look so scary? Who would be so stupid as to jump down?" Xiaoying stretched her head and looked ahead and said.
"Hungry, why is this entrance closed? It seems that the other party is still asleep. I'm here to wake him up." Zhou Xuan said with some embarrassment. At the same time, he took out his small white ball, a blue light rose in his hand, and then inserted it directly.
Go in.
His eyes were closed tightly, and he was still mumbling something, as if he was trying to contact the other person.
Soon, a green light flashed out of the originally dark and scary cave entrance, driving away all the darkness, and the same green vortex slowly appeared below.
"Okay, that creature has woken up, and at the same time those filthy things will come out one after another. I wonder why there is no miasma on the way here." Zhou Xuan put away the small white ball and said.
"What on earth is that creature?" Xiaoying looked at the commotion in front of her, kept looking down, and asked Zhou Xuan at the same time.
"I forgot to tell you, that is an extremely huge tree spirit, its cultivation is at the middle stage of Daluo. The trees we saw are the surface of the other party's body. We don't know why they were captured by the other party and used as stepping stones.
, but the opponent has no cultivation, but his combat power was too weak, and now he is extremely weak, otherwise he would not be able to rely on us." Zhou Xuan said to Xiaoying.
"Tree demon, let's go down first. According to what you said, the other party will definitely not go in before the third floor. It's not appropriate to waste time." Gu Zheng showed a smile on his lips, as if he noticed something, and then said.
"Okay, let's go down there and we won't have to wait for them." Zhou Xuan agreed.
Under the surprised eyes of those people, Gu Zheng and the others jumped straight into the green whirlpool and disappeared in front of them.
Soon someone showed up and jumped down.
Gu Zheng and the others appeared directly in a tunnel as their bodies became lighter and heavier.
"Hey, we actually crossed the second floor and came directly here. It seems that there is no longer any crisis in that place."
Once he came down and saw the illusion around him clearly, Zhou Xuan said in surprise.
"Are we going directly to the third place?" Gu Zheng also looked around.
At this time, they were in an extremely long underground tunnel, surrounded by yellow walls and a layer of faint green light shining brightly on it, allowing people to see clearly from a certain distance.
Behind them was a dead end, blocked by a wall. As Gu Zheng spoke, he groped upwards at the same time and found that the hardness of the stone wall was amazing. At least it would take a lot of effort for Da Luo to make a hole.
Quite a few, basically eliminating the possibility of violent break-ins.
"Yes, this is the space tunnel leading to the third place, and it is also the longest passage. I only know that there is a very powerful formation in the depths. Only those who pass the test can go to the fourth place, and then go to the fourth place.
Let’s go to the fifth place at the end.” Zhou Xuan nodded. After all, she only entered the second floor, and everything after that was filled with books.
Gu Zheng knew that the second location was actually a grassland area, not too strange, and the third location was different for everyone, but it was not like a maze, with dead ends everywhere, and some big
, and there are also some traps, and of course more of them are filthy things stored on the tree spirits.
"Let's go first. This is the most time-consuming place. Only by leaving here quickly can you restore your cultivation. Only then will you be more confident." Gu Zheng felt the situation in his body and said to them.
At this time, under an unknown force, he was unable to reach his original strength at all. In fact, it meant that his strength had been weakened by more than 70%. Even so, he was only a tier stronger than the Golden Immortal Peak. Even so,
, Gu Zheng also felt that there was nothing hindering him in front of him.
After all, there are no powerful enemies in this place.
Everyone nodded and followed Gu Zheng towards the front.
After only walking a short distance through this passage, we encountered an intersection where we couldn't see the corners if we looked at both sides.
"Okay, it seems we have to explore a bit." Gu Zheng walked directly to the right, not moving forward at all.
The final departure point was not in the middle, but generally a little to the right. But here, even Gu Zheng couldn't tell the direction, so he could only explore bit by bit.
Now, except for the faint sound of their footsteps, there is no sound around. Everyone is holding their breath and concentrating, alerting the surroundings to beware of the enemies here.
After walking for less than half a cup of tea, when they were walking in a passage, suddenly there was a sharp scream, and on the surrounding walls, a lot of green liquid quickly condensed, almost in the blink of an eye, one by one.
Green slime-like balls popped out of the wall.
Their bodies were like jelly, shaking constantly, and the harsh sound was the sound made by their bodies being squeezed continuously.
While they were taking precautions here, they were already surrounded by dense green balls on their front, back, left and right.
"This is the filth in his body, but his strength is not very strong." Zhou Xuan said to everyone when the other party appeared.
"You can see that." Gu Zheng didn't even take out his weapon, he just waved it forward, and a strong wind roared forward.
In the blink of an eye, the green balls that were blocking the passage just now turned into pieces of green liquid and lay on the ground again. However, they did not die, but began to gather again, and under the eyes of Gu Zheng and the others, they returned to their original state again.
, as if those injuries cannot hurt the other party at all.
"Can't they be killed?" Xiaoying pointed towards the back, and a Buddha's light emerged from her hand, forming a golden light barrier, blocking the passage behind. Looking at the opposite side, it was like pieces of pancakes, covered all over, Xiaoying
Ying couldn't help but ask.
"Fire is enough. Any flame quality can kill the opponent." Zhou Xuan said quickly.
No one felt any nervousness at all. The aura of these green balls was only around the mid-level of immortality, and there was no threat at all.
After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Gu Zheng's left wrist lit up with red light, and a red flame emitted again, like a fire storm, rushing through the passage in front of him.
This time, the green balls completely disappeared in front of them, leaving only a little residual green liquid on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiaoying from the back murmured a few words in a dignified manner, and large golden flames suddenly appeared from the Buddha's light behind her, enveloping the approaching green balls one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the area behind was clear. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining green balls immediately jumped towards the wall, seemingly trying to escape.
But a ray of flame followed closely behind them, burning them all into ashes without fail.
"Gu Zheng, these green balls are not worth mentioning. This time we will stay here to help each other clean up, and the companions behind us will follow after cleaning up. Let's separate next. I don't know the following information. Can
I’ve told you everything I’ve told you.”
Just when Gu Zheng wanted to move on, Zhou Xuan behind him spoke.
"Aren't you going down together?" Xiaoying followed closely and said with some surprise when she saw Zhou Xuan standing there without speaking.
"No, if we clean up all the filth here, then this tree spirit promises us to help us. Besides, we can only hold ourselves back because of our ability to fight with the past." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's move on. Just be careful." Gu Zheng looked at the meaning in the other person's eyes and understood.
Since Gu Zheng is willing to help them, the opportunity to teleport will definitely be given to him. It seems that the teleportation ability is limited, otherwise he would not leave with them.
"Don't worry, it's more than enough to protect yourself. After all, those people looking for that ethereal treasure will definitely look down." Zhou Xuan said with certainty.
After saying that, Zhou Xuan led her men and walked in another direction.
"Sister Xingcai's mother is much more decisive than her, but such a big place may really take a lot of time." Xiaoying watched the other party leave and said to Gu Zheng.
"Well, let's go. Anyway, I can't spare Wen Tianhou. Everything happened before was caused by him. This time I'll see what he wants to do." Gu Zheng snorted coldly.
"Yes, his subordinates killed my grandfather. I must avenge my grandfather, and I must avenge Master Wuxiang." Xiaoying clenched her hands tightly, thinking that her grandfather had been trapped for so long, and finally he was still alive.
He couldn't escape death, he couldn't help but said angrily.
"Don't be sad. Let's avenge your grandfather's revenge together. Now let's go. Leave this underground palace quickly and rush into the enemy's belly. No matter what the other party does, we will destroy it completely." Gu Zheng touched Xiaoye's head.
, feeling the other party’s anger, he persuaded.
"Yeah" Xiaoying felt the warmth in Gu Zheng's hands and nodded obediently,
Seeing this, Gu Zheng took Xiaoying and continued to explore forward, looking for the exit here.
At this time, more and more people began to descend from above, and they also appeared directly on the third floor. After arriving in this strange place, they quickly looked outside for the exit to the next floor.
At this time, they didn't have any doubts about this place at all. After all, the deeper any treasure is hidden, the better it must be. There is no way you can find it as soon as you come in. That would make people not believe it at all.
Such a complicated maze, as well as the green balls that hindered them along the way, made them determined. There were many things below, and they were looking for them enthusiastically.
Even when they met people who had also come in, they all separated consciously without any dispute at all, and some even formed temporary teams to explore this place together.
In the originally quiet passage, bursts of explosions began to sound from time to time, but soon fell silent. Those green balls were no match for this group of tigers and wolves. Even if they were a little weird, they were quickly eliminated by those people.
Instead, it indirectly helped Zhou Xuan clean up these debris.
"Huh? That is?"
Gu Zheng and Xiaoying flew through the passage. Even if there was some obstruction from the green liquid, they did not take action to deal with it. They just quickly looked for the exit. However, after walking into a passage routinely, they found that it was a dead end. When they were about to leave, they found that it was a dead end.
, suddenly heard an unusual sound.
"What? Is there anything different here?" Xiaoying originally followed Gu Zheng away, but when she saw him suddenly stopping and then groping towards the wall, she asked with some confusion.
"I seem to have heard an unusual sound just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye." Gu Zheng stopped what he was doing again and listened quietly, but still found nothing.
"Really? Why didn't I hear it? I didn't even feel anything was wrong." Xiaoying also came over and listened carefully. Unfortunately, she didn't hear anything suspicious. However, there was a faint explosion sound outside, but it came clearly.
"Bang bang"
Xiaoying hit hard again with her small fist, but also found nothing, so she asked.
"I definitely don't have any illusions. There must be something behind this, maybe a way out? It could also be something else." Although Gu Zheng was sure that he heard it right, he didn't know what it was specifically.
"Then open it violently and see. Even if the wall is thick, it can still be opened." Xiaoying said nonchalantly, and at the same time took out a sharp spear, apparently ready to open it violently.
"Then how long will it take? This wall is extremely hard. Even if I am in full strength, I may not be able to penetrate much even if I try hard, let alone now. Wait, there are some situations." As he spoke, Gu Zheng suddenly felt a wave of pain in his arms.
He felt the burning heat and said quickly.
A shining inner elixir was taken out from Gu Zheng's arms, and it was now emitting a clear light.
When Xiaoying saw this, she also took out her things and found that a gentle heat was also coming from above, and it was also slightly shiny, but not as bright as Gu Zheng.
"It seems there is some mystery in it." Gu Zheng felt that the reaction in his hand seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. He took a few steps back, and the light in his hand began to fade away.
"This passage is not long, and you can see it to the end at a glance, and there are no green balls in it. Basically, no one will come here. If we hadn't missed a trace, and if it hadn't been for the voice you heard, sir, we would have
They all left." Xiaoying analyzed this carefully at the side, and at the same time suspended the white ball in her hand directly in the air to see how it reacted.
Xiaoying smiled sheepishly. At this moment, a white light suddenly rose in the passage. The strong and dazzling light made them subconsciously close their eyes, but then they opened them again and looked at the dazzling place.
.
The white ball in front of Xiaoying was directly pressed against the wall of the dead end by an unknown force. At the same time, a white vortex slowly emerged on it.
However, as the light decreased rapidly, the vortex seemed to be shrinking very quickly. When Gu Zheng and the others were observing, the white vortex that originally occupied most of the wall had shrunk by half.
"Let's talk after we go in."
Gu Zheng made a decisive decision and shouted at Xiaoying, then flew inside at high speed, picked up Xiaoying's body, bumped into it, and disappeared into the whirlpool.
After Gu Zheng and the others disappeared, some people who were close by also came quickly from the surroundings. Unfortunately, what was left to them was an empty passage. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any clues and could only leave with regret.
But the only thing they were sure of was that maybe some lucky person had found something good, or perhaps had already gotten it and left, which made them even more convinced that there was still something they could explore here.
As the news spread, everyone's enthusiasm became even higher, and they began to search carefully around. Even the corners that they had not bothered to enter before began to explore.
However, as those people searched carefully, quite a few people found some things, some good and some bad. Those were all things left over from the space, which were sucked in by this part of the dryad when they were constructed.
