Gu Zheng once again looked at the black hair that was frozen in mid-air and the motionless girl in the distance. He glanced at the top again, always feeling that it was even more terrifying.
But now it seemed that he had no choice. He thought about it for a while, and then quickly climbed up along the rope.
When he reached the top, there was a rather burly man sitting on a rock in front of him with his back to him. Apart from that, there was no other person at all.
"My friend, thank you for saving my life. Are you also the one left here?" Gu Zheng stepped forward and said gratefully to him, while also testing the other party's identity.
"You can say yes, you can say no. Is this your thing? Take it and keep it well next time, but no one will pick it up for you." The strong man said without looking back, and raised his arm at the same time.
, two things flew towards Gu Zheng in an instant.
Gu Zheng quickly grabbed it in the air and looked at the things in his hands. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. It was the golden ball that the kitten had transformed into and the crystal that was left behind. He didn't expect that the other party would pick it up. He thought it was real.
You won't be able to pick it up.
He was about to thank the other person again, but the big man seemed to know what he was thinking, and stood up and turned around to look at him, making him swallow his words.
Because there was a crying mask on the other person's cheek, exactly the same as the one he had seen before, which made his heart skip a beat.
"How is it? Are you surprised? But you can rest assured that I won't do anything to you, otherwise I won't save you. Please leave here with me first. If you have any questions, ask me on the way."
The man understood Gu Zheng's thoughts and walked forward as he spoke.
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed him.
Not only did the other party return his things, but as the other party said, if the other party wanted to harm him, why bother to save himself? More importantly, the other party's cultivation level had far surpassed his own, at least as high as a god or above.
In terms of cultivation, even if he is disadvantageous to him, he still has more than enough ambition but not enough power.
"Senior, do you know where this is? Why are you wandering here?" Gu Zheng followed closely and asked the big man in front of him.
"Don't call me senior. My name is Wu Fan. Maybe my strength is not as strong as yours. Like you, I was a human before I came here, but I don't know what it is now. I am neither a human nor a ghost." Wu Fan stepped forward.
After a pause, Gu Zheng waited until Gu Zheng came to his side before speaking.
"My name is Gu Zheng, where exactly is this place?" Gu Zheng walked side by side with the other party and then asked.
From the corner of his eye, he looked at the mask on the other person, but the mask seemed to be integrated with the other person. There was no gap at all, and he couldn't see inside at all. It was as if the mask was the other person's face.
"I know you have a lot of questions. I'll tell you slowly. You naturally know everything here. I think only you can completely solve all this. After all, you are the first human being to come here." Then Wu
Fan said slowly to Gu Zheng.
Along this path leading to higher ground, the two people began to communicate. It could also be said that Gu Zheng was asking questions and the other party was answering.
This Wu Fan did not come from the underworld during his lifetime, but after his death, he used his escape method and was killed on the way. He was left here. At first, like everyone else, he had no memory at all, and even now he has not fully recovered.
And he was also a follower of others, and he also fell on this mountain, but he was not as unlucky as him. He climbed up halfway, and also fell here after being inlaid with two pieces of gold and jade, but that time had already passed thousands of years.
.
As for if you don't go through there and directly enter the third level ahead, you won't be able to get in at all, because it is a trap. Once you come out, you will die immediately, and then everything will be absorbed by a fox demon.
, no one is an exception.
When he heard this, Gu Zheng was really glad that they at least found gold and jade, otherwise they would have died directly. At that time, they had no power to resist at all.
"How many people have come here, and why do you stay here all the time?" After asking the question just now, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.
"At least half of it. On the first floor, there are a lot of gold and jade. As long as you search patiently, you can always find it. After all, as long as you are familiar with that place, even if the opponent becomes stronger, it is easy to avoid it. And if I stay here, actually
I’m here to guide you through the black cat’s defense line and allow you to pass through this place smoothly so that the demon fox can absorb your power.”
Wu Fan's voice made Gu Zheng's heart tremble. He seemed to understand something and asked immediately.
"did you mean?"
"That's right, I serve a four-tailed fox demon, and his enemy is a black cat. The two of them are fighting for control of this place. In fact, they have successfully controlled most of it. Now they continue to compete, thinking
We need to drive the opponent out completely, and the last area is even more dangerous and completely different from the previous area. It can be said that the vast majority of people died there, but most of the people who passed through passed the last level and left here."
Wu Fan nodded, confirming Gu Zheng's idea.
Gu Zheng took a breath. He didn't expect things to turn out like this. He could feel that the other party was definitely not lying. The black cat had actually been lying to him and was just following his words. However, he didn't believe him either.
"Then you are saying that this place is not controlled by the other party yet?" Gu Zheng asked quickly, thinking of the other party's final escape.
"Well, on this floor, there are also the sea palace in front and the seabed abyss in the distance. The other party has not found the core gold and jade here, which is the kind of gold and jade you came in, so it is still under the control of this magic weapon, and
The other party has complete control of all the areas in front and behind. It can be said that it is very easy to kill you." Wu Fan glanced at Gu Zheng and then continued.
"Those ghosts are things released by the demon fox, and they also rely on them to absorb the last lives of those people to strengthen their strength. They cannot surpass the rules set here."
"If they placed the ghosts, then who placed these things?" Gu Zheng took out the red crystal in his hand and said.
"This is the solution for the magic weapon here. Is it willing to be controlled by them? Of course you have to resist. These props are for you to pass here smoothly. Once you reach the last level, you can restore your previous cultivation.
, at that time, you can leave here, you must know that there are many people who have successfully left."
"Every time one leaves, the demon fox will receive a heavy blow. He controls the exit position, and even part of it has been fused here, so that he can absorb the power from the outside."
"Aren't you unwilling to accept Fa Bao? Why don't you let them help him?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but wonder.
"You should also know how powerful this magic weapon is? How can he set his sights on us dead people? Only those with life can do it, whether they are humans or monsters, so you came at the right time. The other party is not here.
No matter how much time passes, there is still not much progress, and there will definitely not be any more progress, but they are not reconciled." Wu Fan looked at it with deep meaning, the meaning of which made Gu Zheng puzzled, and did not understand the other party's intentions at all.
mean.
Of course he understood the first sentence, that is, this magic weapon would never surrender to the hands of these demon souls, and what the other party said later meant that because he was a human being and completely different from them, he was lucky enough to fight for this magic weapon.
Gu Zheng remained silent, his mind quickly digesting the other party's information. The only thing he didn't understand was why the other party helped him.
"Why are you helping me? Is there no one else passing here except me?" After a moment of silence, Gu Zheng finally couldn't help but ask.
"You are not the first one. Many have passed here before, but you are the one with the lowest cultivation level and the most mysterious one. You must know that Black Cat wants everyone who comes here to get out, but everyone will
As a gift of a pill, you can at least exert your fifth-level strength. There are more on the top of the mountain over there. You must know that when you leave this place, there are at least four places leading to the sea palace in front of you, because you continue to move forward.
There is only one way to go."
Gu Zheng listened to Wu Fan's words without speaking. He knew that the other party had not finished speaking at all. Sure enough, after a pause, Wu Fan continued to speak.
"I've been here for thousands of years. I've had enough. I can't fulfill the freedom the other party promised me. If I think this mask can completely control me, then don't blame me for being rude. I need your help to find where the other party is hiding.
The gathering point in the abyss of the sea. There is a storage place where it collects the power here. There is also his clone. No matter what, I will go there before I am completely controlled by the other party. That’s why I rescue you. I can only follow you.
The other party won't pay attention to my actions."
"If it were anyone else, I would have left here together, so this is your luck and the misfortune of the people behind you. The place I want to go to can only be entered from the Sea Palace, so don't teleport to it through the exit there.
Then leave and go directly to the area behind."
"I understand, thank you for helping me anyway." Gu Zheng nodded and said.
"Not only for me, but also for you. The black cat doesn't devour you people at all. He also knows that he doesn't want to control this place. He just wants to devour some of the core here and strengthen his strength, so the other party is unlikely to harm you.
After all, every time one more person leaves, the demon fox will lose one point of strength and will be severely damaged, but you should not trust the other party completely."
Wu Fan said here, they have arrived at the highest point of the mountain. They have been walking for at least half a day. Standing here, they can clearly see a large red ship on the vast black sea in the distance.
On the sea, there is an equally majestic palace.
Gu Zheng didn't think that the other party was only that big, there was probably even more space inside.
"Do you have any more questions?" Wu Fan turned slightly and looked at Gu Zheng and said.
"Although I don't know why you trust me, I still want to ask." Gu Zheng hesitated and expressed the questions in his heart.
"Haha, because you have no choice. If you want to go out, this magic weapon will not agree, because it will send you to the other party, because the other party has no choice. It is better to choose you than to choose that place.
To destroy it, you must weaken at least half of the opponent's strength. Unless your strength has reached the peak of Daluo, otherwise if you don't break it, you will have no chance of winning against the demon fox that has merged with part of it." Wu Fan's tone was full of affirmation.
, seems to have seen what happened next.
"Well, if it's true what you said, I don't know if it's luck or misfortune, but I still have one last question, what is the use of gold and jade?" Gu Zheng shrugged. If he goes by what the other party said, then he seems to be different.
I had no choice, but I still had the last doubt in my mind, so I asked the other party.
At this time, they were walking down along the top of the mountain. Not far below, there was a relatively flat platform, and there was a red boat tied to the side.
"The golden jade is the power condensed by this magic weapon. It is also what the black cat is looking for. The location where it appears is not fixed, but there must be a golden jade that looks the same but different. That is the core of this layer. Get it
You can slowly control this layer through it, and other ordinary gold and jade also condense the power here. As for how to use it, I'm not sure." Wu Fan shook his head and said to Gu Zheng.
"When you enter the first floor, the gold and jade have completely failed. They are all simulated by black cats, so the basic purpose is to open the hidden second floor, which is here."
"Isn't this place a whole? What is the name of this magic weapon?" Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask, where can you see the layers here.
"I don't know, no one knows about this thing. It is said that when this black prison existed, it already existed here. I don't even know if it has an owner. It is more like an ownerless thing. I have collected these things over the years.
There is one for each, I hope it can help you." Wu Fan shook his head and then said, while leading Gu Zheng to the side and stopped.
Unknowingly, they had walked down from the mountain peak. On the front platform, there were some old tables with some familiar things on them.
There are white crystals, red crystals, and a black crystal ball. There is a small bell next to it, which looks similar to the one in the ghost girl's hand. There is also a small mirror next to it.
Gu Zheng swept over them one by one. Except for the first two that he knew, the last three were seen for the first time.
"You should have seen white and red. After all, these two things are the most common, but the latter three rarely appear. After the black crystal ball is broken, it can contain all ghosts within a certain range, just like before
You see that effect, and after the bronze bell is activated, it can transform into a white ball and take you to the exit from here. After the last mirror is activated, it can take two people and teleport within a certain range to avoid them.
The danger ahead.”
Wu Fan walked up to the props and introduced them one by one to Gu Zheng.
After hearing this, Gu Zheng secretly smacked his lips. The three behind them were simply life-saving guys, but they also indirectly showed their identity, at least they were not ghosts.
"I will definitely help you with your matter, not just for myself." Although Gu Zheng was a little touched in his heart, he still said calmly on the surface.
If it is true what the other party said, then in this way, I have simply encountered a pie falling from the sky. If I let such a good opportunity pass, I will definitely be sorry for the misfortune I have suffered.
It seems that it may be fate that I fell here.
"I hope so. I have never been there. After all, it is the territory of the black cat. I can't provide you with any help. The only thing that can help you is this thing." Wu Fan took out a pair of black long shoes and faced them.
Gu Zheng said.
Gu Zheng was a little stunned. These shoes looked like traveling shoes that ordinary people used to travel for a long time. He didn't know what the other person was using these shoes for.
"This pair of shoes is a magic weapon that I have condensed. After all, I have been here for so long, and I have mastered some of the power here. Although you will be a waste after you go out, here you can help reduce the sound of footsteps, and more importantly, it can prevent
The bite of the black beetle and the weird tentacles can emit a breath that scares the opponent and temporarily repels the opponent."
Wu Fan looked at Gu Zheng and explained to him carefully.
"Thank you very much."
Gu Zheng took it and said, at the same time he put it on the ground and put it on directly.
Once the shoes were put in, the somewhat wide body slowly shrank, and finally turned into a slightly transparent shield, covering Gu Zheng from his knees down.
To Gu Zheng, these shoes were as if he were not wearing them. If he wasn't careful, he wouldn't notice them at all, and they wouldn't affect him at all.
"Woo"
A slight sound came from him, and Gu Zheng couldn't help but turn around and see.
"Leave quickly. That guy is the most difficult ghost to deal with here. I ran a lot to save you. It seems that you were lucky before and you didn't need my guidance. But now this girl is even more violent and refuses to recognize her relatives.
If you don't leave, we will catch up with you, and the boat will take you there automatically, so take care of yourself."
Wu Fan watched Gu Zheng pick up all the things on it and said to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng nodded and didn't ask the other party how to leave. Since the other party didn't tell him, he must have his own way. Then he jumped directly over and landed firmly in the middle of the boat.
When he came up, the boat didn't see any control, and it slowly dropped down along the stream.
Gu Zheng turned his head to look at Wu Fan, only to find that he was no longer around. On the hilltop in front of him, a familiar figure had appeared and was chasing him.
But it was too late. As the slope of the descent became larger and larger, it fell almost vertically downwards. However, Gu Zheng standing on top could not feel it at all. The boat had already driven away all external forces.
"Wow"
Soon the boat rushed out of the stream halfway up the mountain, landed on the surface of the sea, and automatically flew towards the palace on the sea in the distance.
"Do you believe what the other party said?"
Just above the bow of Gu Zheng's ship, a black cat suddenly appeared above, lying there lazily, and then asked aloud.
"Whether you believe it or not, that's my business. At least compared to you, I don't believe it at all." Gu Zheng was not at all panicked by the other party's appearance, but replied.
The black cat didn't seem to care and didn't say anything. He followed the boat up and down, approaching the palace on the sea in the distance.
