"Get out of my way? Are we going to take action now?"
The bald man over there was obviously not as angry as the woman next to him, but instead said calmly.
"Of course not. After all, there are still a lot of you. I'm just here to warn this kid, don't go with these people and watch your back." The leader was a young man with a hedgehog head. Hearing the bald head say this, he raised a finger.
His head shook in the air.
Seeing the bald man's face in front of him suddenly turned pale, he laughed and walked away with his people.
He likes this kind of aggressive momentum very much. The way the other party dares to get angry but dare not take action is really refreshing. These days, it is hard and soft to give way to the bald head, which is very ugly. One person has been forced to leave before.
Now it happens that they are also missing one. After fighting with others in the previous period, even if the injury is not healed, they come here to provoke again. Anyway, the other party does not dare to resist.
Although only two months have passed, Gu Zheng has been resting in place with his eyes closed and has not gone out, but he also knows that one of the first three people disappeared alive in front of his eyes, which should be because the other person's life span here has reached its limit.
The other two were stimulated by this and entered the archway, but they were never seen back.
After the bald man and the woman lost three teammates, it was obvious that the people around them looked down upon them a lot. Although their cultivation levels were the same, the troubles here were also very big. Although for some reason, neither of them would die in the fight.
Hand, but when one party suffers a loss, it definitely feels bad.
At least in the surrounding area, in just two months, there will be a fight every few days on average. Those who are evenly matched will both lie down, and others will not fish in troubled waters and then provoke, while those with a disadvantage will be beaten up by the dominant party.
A meal.
However, Gu Zheng can also understand these people a little bit. After all, being bored in this place day after day can make normal people sick. What's more, here, you can feel the anxiety hidden in the air, and it will explode at the slightest moment.
But another thing surprised Gu Zheng, because when those people were fighting, they were disguised by a layer of black mist, but they disappeared and recovered their bodies. Some demons could even turn into their own bodies. What about the same people?
The strength generally absolutely crushes humans.
Only later did he realize that in this place, he could slow down the flow of his body in this way. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even if the battle consumes more, he still has to vent his heart. It can be seen that the atmosphere here is particularly tense.
The bald ones obviously don't want to be bullied and are trying to win over some people, but they don't want everyone, at least they have to look good in their hearts. After all, they don't want to be together, and they don't want to endure with different people.
"Brother Tietou, Miss Yingxi, why don't I quit first? I'm alone over there. You're pulling someone and I'm coming over." Although the person didn't say anything at the time, it was obvious that he was a little nervous when he came here.
Worried, he said to the bald two of them.
"Okay, you have to be careful. It's not that peaceful over there. If you need anything, come to us anytime." The bald head looked not far away, and a group of people were groaning in pain. He could hear it clearly and knew that the other party was a little timid.
Yes, he said helplessly.
"Thank you." The man said gratefully, and then left first.
"It's really a waste of our time." The woman named Ying Xi said with some dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, I can see that the other party really wants to buy us time. If we hadn't been too small in number and rarely caused trouble, we would have been knocked on the door a long time ago. After a while, I feel like I'm done.
I want to go in again." Baldhead had no regrets when he arrived, but said to Yinghua.
"Let's get together then." Yinghua looked at the bald head with a determined look, completely ignoring Gu Zheng standing aside.
"Ahem"
Gu Zheng looked at the other person with a loving expression, as if he had known each other before, but he had to interrupt.
"Brother Gu, you've woken up. Is there anything different here for you?" The bald man turned his head and said to Gu Zheng. At that time, Yinghua next to him seemed a little shy and left directly from the side.
"No, I haven't felt it being absorbed. Maybe it won't affect humans." Gu Zheng understood what the other party was talking about and said to the bald head.
Gu Zheng didn't feel that power when he came here, but he realized that the aura here was full of resentment and various negative auras. If he wanted to absorb it, he would need to expend a huge amount of energy, and even get twice the result with half the effort.
If you can't do it, this is the biggest impact.
"Are you ready to go? If you don't tell me, I have to remind you. After all, if you fail, it will still take a long time to recover. If you go too late, there may not be enough time." The bald head faced Gu Zheng.
said.
"Well, I know, I really hope to succeed in the first attempt." Gu Zheng smiled slightly and said confidently.
"I hope so. After all, there are too few people who succeed once. Come on! I don't want to see you come back." The bald head looked at Gu Zheng, who was full of confidence, and said nothing more. He just cheered for him in the end.
Gu Zheng nodded, and then walked towards the distance without looking back.
Along the way, those demon souls looked at Gu Zheng very curiously, and even looked at him with schadenfreude. They even kept making sarcastic remarks to Gu Zheng's ears along the way, trying to disturb him.
But unfortunately, these words have no effect at all on Gu Zheng.
Soon he came to stand in front of the huge archway, which was only as wide as a house. He raised his head and looked at the huge entrance, as if a giant beast was choosing people to devour, waiting for someone to surrender.
Enter the net.
Although the entire archway looks extremely huge, there is only one entrance, which is more than ten feet in size, but there is no gate, so people can enter at any time.
The entire entrance is pitch black, you can't see or feel the inside, it's just eerily quiet.
While Gu Zheng was observing, suddenly a figure flew out from inside and fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner. His whole body was curled up together and trembling violently, as if he had experienced something terrible.
.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath, then walked past the failed demon soul and walked inside.
However, when he stepped inside, he paused, stretched out his hand and waved it behind him to signal the bald man who was following secretly behind, and then stepped in.
As Gu Zheng entered, the noisy sounds behind him suddenly disappeared, and even the door behind him disappeared. Only the red crystal in his hand was emitting a faint red light, illuminating the surrounding area within a ten-foot radius.
It's bright, but in the distance it's extremely dark, and you can't see anything.
And Gu Zheng also felt that under the inexplicable pressure around him, his strength was declining rapidly. In just a few breaths, he was already like an ordinary person, and he could not even feel the magic power in his body at all.
, not to mention the magic weapon he carries on his body, is just like an ordinary thing.
The only difference was the kitten on his body. Gu Zheng could still feel the other person, but thinking about what the other person said before, it was probably the same as Gu Zheng.
He didn't move forward, but stretched out his arm and twisted it hard.
"hiss"
A powerful pain shot up from his arm, causing him to take a breath of air. It seemed like he was just like a mortal here.
After waiting for a while for the pain to subside, Gu Zheng continued to touch forward. At this time, he had not yet entered. This place seemed to be a transit space. Although there was no danger, you would stay here forever until you died.
People who come in from the outside cannot be met, it's like being locked in a dark room until you move forward again, and the lives of the demon souls here are still fading, forcing them to move forward.
Of course, Gu Zheng couldn't feel that strange power, so it would be a good idea to hide here and study. Unfortunately, he had to break through within half a year, or fail three times, or else he would be thrown directly into the endless void. That would be the real time.
He died without a burial place.
After just a few more steps, an ordinary stone door appeared in front of Gu Zheng, surrounded by stone walls that stretched for an unknown length of time.
There was only a shallow groove in the middle of the entire stone wall, which could fit into the red crystal stone in Gu Zheng's hand. Gu Zheng put it in without hesitation.
"Boom boom"
As the crystals were put in, the thick stone door was slowly pushed open, accompanied by the harsh sound of stone grinding vibrations. As the stone door was opened, a dark aura seemed to have been sealed for thousands of years.
When it came to my face, at that moment, even Gu Zheng, who had been prepared for it, felt cold all over and suddenly trembled.
It took more than ten breaths for Gu Zheng to slowly recover from that feeling, and his stiff body walked towards the stone door mechanically.
As he entered, the stone door behind him suddenly swung back again and closed heavily. At the same time, a sound like a ghost crying and a sound like a resentful laugh came from a very far distance, which meant that Gu Zheng had officially begun to break into this place, or he would fail to get out.
, or successfully reach the deepest altar, there is no other way to leave here.
"Papa"
As the stone door here closed, two soft sounds sounded from the side, and then two lights like kerosene lamps suddenly lit up from the wall, vaguely illuminating the surrounding area.
Below, there is a red square table. The big red color looks so weird under the candlelight.
However, there are several things placed on the table that people can see at a glance.
A stone emitting yellow light was as big as a fist, with yellow light shining on it. There were several small stones emitting crystal blue light next to it, but there was nothing else.
Gu Zheng knew that this was the only item that could help him get out of here, so he stepped forward and picked it up without hesitation.
The yellow stone looks quite big. In fact, it is not as heavy as those small blue stones. You can hardly feel the weight in your hand. And according to Gu Zheng's intention, it automatically emits a faint yellow light, just like the one on the palm of your hand.
candlelight.
This light can illuminate everything within a radius of three feet, but even if it is farther away, the brightness disappears sharply, and it can be said that it is basically impossible to see anything outside.
However, this is also the only lighting information here, and the only function of the small blue stone is to serve as a road sign, but there are only five of them. Compared to this huge area, it feels too sparse.
And besides those ghosts, there won't be anything to help him inside.
The yellow light in Gu Zheng's palm dimmed again. With the help of the weak candlelight, Gu Zheng came to the only stone door and listened to the sounds outside.
But at this time, outside, I could only hear some wind noises that sounded like ghosts crying, and there was no other sound.
As the stone door made a moderate noise, Gu Zheng finally walked out.
However, Gu Zheng frowned when he looked at this stone door, because the sound was too harsh, and it was too easy to attract enemies in such a silent tunnel.
Even though Gu Zheng had been very, very careful to open it, when the stone door was only half open and just allowed Gu Zheng to go out, he made that sound, as if he was deliberately trying to prevent him from leaving quietly.
With a sigh, Gu Zheng put away his thoughts. It seemed that the bald man was right. He still couldn't try to take advantage of the situation.
Looking at the pitch black areas on the left and right, Gu Zheng could only see a little bit in front of him, and he couldn't even see clearly what was on his shoulders.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to light up the yellow light, otherwise he would not even be able to see his shoulders, making him no different from a blind man. Then the yellow light rose from Gu Zheng's hand again.
I have heard this scene in ancient times. In fact, it is just a change in appearance. Others include cities, woods, deserts, etc., but they are all the same. Anyway, you can only find the way out in this maze-like place.
It sounds very simple, but it is actually too difficult. Even if you find the way and there are no enemies, it will still take a long time, not to mention those ghosts that follow you hauntingly. Once caught by the opponent,
That means complete failure.
"jingle"
A long ringtone came from a distance, just like a wind chime hanging on the edge of the window. As the breeze came, it swayed gently, emitting that beautiful lingering sound, which made people unable to help but immerse themselves in it and listen to the sound hidden in the window.
Stories in sound.
However, when Gu Zheng arrived, his expression suddenly changed. He then identified the direction, and then headed towards the opposite direction of the sound.
"Deng Deng Deng"
Gu Zheng started running directly on the ground. Although it was a flat ground, there were loud footsteps, especially in this tunnel of any height, which was even more obvious.
After just running a few steps, Gu Zheng remembered it, stopped immediately, and walked ahead at a normal speed. Although the footsteps were still there, they were already very small.
If Gu Zheng slows down again, his voice will be quieter, but his speed will also be slower.
"If you come in unprepared, you will definitely suffer a lot."
Gu Zheng slowed down his speed to a certain level and thought to himself at the same time.
The bell behind him never rang again. I don't know if it went far away or if it was out of range of the other party's voice. In short, at least it was safe now.
As soon as I came out, I encountered a ghost, which was terrible luck.
After picking up his mood, he walked along again. This tunnel could barely accommodate two people walking together, and it was still relatively spacious for him. Without taking a few more steps, a crossroads appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
Looking at the darkness around him, Gu Zheng's body was trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because there was a very cold breath in the air. Even though his body was different from ordinary people, he was also a little cold, and
There was a constant sound of ghost crying in the air, just like the cry of a baby that kept ringing in Gu Zheng's heart, making him feel a little upset and he could only suppress it forcefully.
Pick an intersection at random and walk there again. As for luck, you can only rely on luck. Anyway, the only thing you know is to find a brightly lit hall and leave here.
Gu Zheng kept walking at a leisurely and constant pace. He didn't know how long he had been walking. He estimated that he had been walking for at least half a day. Until this time, there was still no trace of the edge.
Every time he passes a certain distance, there is an identical intersection or three-way intersection, but the only thing he is sure of is that he feels that he has been walking in a general direction. Although it is not very useful, it can eliminate a corner, which is a stupid method.
Check little by little.
However, the scary ghost did not appear, which made Gu Zheng feel a little relaxed because he was so nervous. Maybe they were all in another place.
But as soon as the thoughts in Gu Zheng's mind came to an end, a pleasant ringing sound suddenly sounded in the passage, and the sound seemed to come from not far ahead.
This suddenly startled him, and he immediately stopped, squatted down slowly, and began to retreat back.
"jingle"
The sound sounded in the air very regularly. At the same time, Gu Zheng's mind suddenly felt dizzy, as if a familiar and kind voice rose in his mind, asking him to walk over.
"Steady, steady!"
A thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Gu Zheng's forehead. He squatted down again and sped away from here. At this moment, he felt a little like the feeling the other party said, because this kind of voice was not a temptation from the other party, but rose from the bottom of his heart, even if he also
He suddenly stopped and stood up, wanting to lean over.
But the voice was still approaching Gu Zheng, and it seemed that it had discovered traces of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng tried hard to keep his breathing steady. He must not run at this time. The other party would definitely hear his voice and chase him. There was no place to hide around. In this place, the physical exertion would be greater, and he would soon be beaten by the other party.
Get caught.
Fortunately, there was a passage not far behind Gu Zheng. When he didn't notice the other party's appearance, he retreated toward the untraveled path behind him. After turning, he immediately stood up and continued to retreat slowly.
Slight footsteps sounded in Gu Zheng's ears. Every time he could hear his own footsteps clearly, vibrating his chest like a drum. Coupled with the sound of the bell getting closer and closer in front of him, it made him want to
Hurry up and get out of here.
"Gulu"
Gu Zheng straightened his neck and swallowed the saliva with difficulty. His whole body felt like a big drum, and his heart seemed to be beating out of his heart. He had to stop and catch his breath, otherwise it would explode.
"jingle"
At this time, the ghost is still approaching here, and he is less than three feet away from the intersection, and is still far away from the next intersection.
Gu Zheng immediately turned off the light in his hand and leaned in the corner, waiting quietly.
When you see the opponent coming out, where are they going? If they are going towards you, then you can admit defeat directly.
After a few breaths, a red light appeared from the front, and the ghost was about to come out.
