"So, if you follow us, Mr. Ma, you will definitely have a good life. If you are alone, it is easy to die outside. You have accumulated blessings in countless lifetimes to be here. You must cherish it."
Along the way, Xiao Hou received Gu Zheng's filial piety, but he didn't hide anything. He told Gu Zheng everything he knew. Originally, he was lagging behind, firstly to explain the things here for Gu Zheng, and secondly to keep an eye on him.
Don't let him run around.
"Thank you, Mr. Hou. Please take care of me in the future. I have forgotten many things and am a little confused." Of course Gu Zheng looked over with gratitude and stuffed some things on it again.
"It's easy to say, easy to say. Just come back to me for this matter. Although I don't have any real power, there is nothing I don't know about. It's not difficult for you, but it will take a lot of time." Xiao Hou felt more and more that the newcomer was coming.
With his previous demeanor, he patted his chest with great satisfaction and promised.
"Thank you, Mr. Hou." Gu Zheng flattered him again, which made the latter's eyes narrow in joy.
This position of carrying the new couple is good. Occasionally there are filial piety and words that make people feel comfortable.
"Xiao Hou, go and bring out the newcomers inside. It's time to go back."
At this time, the entire team had stopped and had already left this small mountain range. In other words, it was just a large continuous pile of dirt, which was really far away from the mountain range.
The first captain stopped and shouted to the back.
"Coming, coming!" Xiao Hou hurriedly stepped forward, but instead of going to the captain's side, he went around from the side and quickly disappeared on the mound in front.
It didn't take long for him to return the same way, but there was another strange woman beside him. However, the appearance of the other woman was obviously that of a demon. There were also obvious signs on his body, that demon that could not be hidden.
feature.
You must know that here, as long as the cultivation level has not reached Daluo, the demon clan's body will never be able to transform into a human form. What's more important is that the memory will always be more or less missing.
The stronger the strength, the more memories can be restored, and the greater the relative strength will be exerted. Of course, some unlucky people are not excluded. Even the core battle is incomplete, and they even cannot remember themselves, so they can only live in confusion.
.
The demon clan in front of me is obviously weak in strength, only the early stage of the Golden Immortal. This kind of cultivation here is basically the lowest level of existence. If it is in the Soul Alliance or the isolated city, it will be okay, but it will definitely be treated badly outside.
Less verbal humiliation.
Of course Gu Zheng knew that the cultivation he was concealing was at the peak of Golden Immortal, which could at least make the other party take him seriously.
After Xiao Hou came back, the group set off again, while Xiao Hou talked about the world again for the sake of ancient struggle and the banshee clan.
Gu Zheng also knew that this demon clan was actually dragged in from the outside. The only regret was that the other party did not bring anything when they came, so of course the team here did not have a good impression of her.
Although Xiao Hou's attitude towards this woman is not very good, and it is very different from Gu Zheng, he still said everything that should be said, so that the other party can quickly understand where this place is, at least he will not be confused.
die.
There is no so-called safety here at all. It looks peaceful outside, but after you come in, you just wander aimlessly. Then it won’t take long for you to become weak due to weakness. At that time, you will become nourishment in the hands of others.
, and he has no power to resist, so he will definitely die.
You know, the bandits outside are relatively stable when facing big forces like Guancheng, but they are not so lucky when facing competitors and these newcomers.
Thanks to this period of time, there were few newcomers, and many bandits needed to replenish their manpower, so it was much quieter during this period.
You must know that if you encounter someone with such a low level of cultivation, you will most likely kill him and save a waste of soul stones. This shows that there is also a lack of manpower here.
"It's all a damn force over there. It's very strange and very sudden that they got up and robbed these newcomers from us. The other party even took the initiative to find bandits to attack and forcibly captured the other party."
One day later, during a temporary break, Xiao Hou swallowed a soul stone that was not of very good quality and heard some questions from Gu Zheng and said casually.
"So that's how it is, but you said that we are very powerful and even the natives here are friendly with us, so why can't we kill them?" Gu Zheng asked doubtfully, acting like one of our own.
Along the way, Xiao Hou also briefly told them about the world, but he omitted the Lone Peak side. Only the Soul Alliance was a collection of scattered people, and there were local demon souls, and they were the largest force. Counting them,
The leader has two Daluo masters, who are proud of themselves.
At least among all the wandering bandits around, there is no such master. Even if there is, he has gone to the Soul Alliance. If he stays outside, it is easy to be strangled by people sent by the Demon Soul.
Make the demon souls afraid.
In fact, the greatest pressure from Demon Soul is placed on the Soul Alliance.
It's not that they can't beat the Soul Alliance, but that there are too many masters in the Soul Alliance in general. If they anger the other party and come to sneak attack and stir up trouble all day long, even the demon soul can't stand it. Even with Wen Tianhou sitting in, he can only
a place.
Therefore, there is not so much pressure on the Gucheng side, and Gu Zheng is well aware of this.
"Who says it's not?" Xiao Hou quickly glanced in front and saw the captain and the others chatting animatedly in front without paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said secretly.
"It's not a secret. Some time ago, our deputy commander took the brothers there. I thought it was a sure thing. After all, the deputy commander's cultivation is not weak, and with a group of good hands, there should be nothing.
Problem, but luckily we were outside and didn’t go.”
Xiao Hou thought of the frightened look on his companion's face when he came back, and thought of what the other party told him about the horror over there, and even his own face looked a little unnatural now.
"Did we lose?" Seeing this, Gu Zheng said with a surprised look as he didn't know the consequences.
While the other party had no time to look at him, Gu Zheng took the Soul Stone in his hand and secretly threw it into the hands of the female monster behind him.
It's not that the other party is so attractive. The other party's ordinary yet rough face and body like a bucket are not his cup of tea anyway.
But the other party has been here for a long time and has been weak for a long time. The other party has not provided her with soul stones before. Even if she eats one, she feels that she has not recovered much. With his one, at least it makes the other party much more relaxed.
The most important thing is that it is useless for Gu Zheng to take this stuff, and he also feels extremely nauseous and feels very uncomfortable all over his body. He has experienced this personally, so he will definitely not take it.
The female monster was stunned for a moment. When she saw that Gu Zheng didn't pay attention at all, she understood the other party's kindness. Her heart warmed and she swallowed it without hesitation.
Xiaohou didn't pay attention at all here. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, he followed suit.
"Of course, it is said that the leader of the opponent is also a female master with a strong cultivation level. At least the deputy commander cannot defeat the opponent. In addition, the opponent has some subordinates who are not weak, so they retreated after losing some companions."
"That's it."
Gu Zheng wanted to say something else, but the other party had already finished resting and stood up to set off, so Gu Zheng shut his mouth. If it was such a big deal, there would definitely be some clues in the opponent's habitat.
As they were on their way again, Xiao Hou did not speak. He had said all he could and could not say the rest.
And Gu Zheng was also thinking about something. Even if the female monster next to him wanted to say something several times, he did not respond.
According to the information given by the other party, Ma Nan did not have any enemies, but now there was an enemy inexplicably, which forced him to have other ideas.
Could it be that Pan Xuan landed here and then gathered together? According to the other party's temperament, it is not impossible.
I must go there and take a look when the time comes, but now I still sneak in to see if there is any good way to get back what the other party has pried away from under my nose.
As everyone knows, that thing was something he tried to snatch from the other party, but was slapped by the other party. This made him unbearable and decided to come to Ma Nan to cause trouble. Otherwise, he would not be able to swallow this breath. Of course, Pan Xuan would also save it.
Hidden thoughts here.
Of course, Gu Zheng would comfort himself in his heart by helping Gucheng deal with a traitor. After all, the other party gave him two things that were at the bottom of the box, which was considered as doing something for the other party.
After three days of traveling, they finally came to a forest that looked good. Although there was no greenery, the trees were still as black as coal, but there were some equally dark leaves on them.
As soon as he entered here, he could feel that his consciousness was greatly disturbed, and he also noticed that some warning formations were obviously placed in some places. Coupled with the special circumstances here, it was easy to be ignored.
Once an outsider approaches, they will definitely be alerted by this intricate warning formation.
I didn't expect that the bandits like Ma Nan could be so protected here. Although there was no hidden sentry, it was enough. It can be seen that this is definitely an important place for the opponent.
As expected, there was a huge open space in the middle of the woods, occupying half of the entire forest. Many simple wooden houses and earth houses were scattered throughout it.
Many people were doing nothing, either chatting or standing around in a daze. The whole camp felt a little lifeless, like a cage compared to the other side of the lonely city.
As soon as they came back, someone came up to them directly, but the captain was in charge of all this, and Xiao Hou also came up, talking about the same thing, while they were waiting outside.
The captain pointed to the back. Although he didn't agree at first, it was best to be
Soon Xiao Hou came back first, nodded to their companions, and the latter walked directly inside, and then walked towards Gu Zheng and the female monster behind.
"You two are very lucky. We happen to be short of people. Now you are directly incorporated into our team. From now on, we will be a team. Now I will take you to check it out. If you pass, you will be one of us."
Perhaps because they were grouped together, Xiao Hou's tone became much softer.
Gu Zheng and the female monster had no choice at all, but compared to the female monster's panic, Gu Zheng was much calmer.
After saying that, Xiao Hou walked to the side without going in. He followed Xiao Hou all the way and soon came to a separate room next to him.
"Because this place is too dangerous, in order to protect your safety, we will put our mark on you. Only in this way, if something happens, given our status, there may be a way to survive." Xiao Hou faced outside.
Zhu Guzheng and the others explained.
Gu Zheng curled his lips inwardly, but nodded along with the other party without any objection.
Not only are some precautions taken to prevent them from escaping, but if the guess is correct, they can even detect whether there are enemies lurking in from outside.
But even so, this compulsive approach has the feeling of being on a pirate ship, which seems a little different from what I said before.
"I'll go first."
Gu Zheng said directly, then saw the other party nodding, and then walked in.
The whole house is not big, there is not even a window, and the scene inside can only be seen clearly through the light from the door.
It was relatively empty inside, with only one formation emitting black light. At the edge of the corner, there was a man hidden in a black robe. When he saw Gu Zheng coming in, he said directly in a hoarse voice.
"Enter the magic circle, don't resist, it will be fine in a while."
Gu Zheng did not hesitate and stood directly in the middle of the magic circle, wanting to see what the other party wanted to do.
He had briefly explored this place just now, and there was nothing that could threaten him. It seemed that the other party was not here. If something went wrong, no one here could stop him.
Theoretically, Gu Zheng can no longer use the other party to lead the way now that he has found the other party. However, thinking about the other party's previous enemies, he feels that it would be better to go deeper inside and get some definite information.
Following that person's whisper, the magic circle in front of him was instantly activated.
The originally calm magic circle was surrounded by a large amount of black energy under the black light.
Gu Zheng only felt a strong pressure coming from all around, just to keep him trapped in place, with no other intention, and the black energy was drilling into his body.
Gu Zheng also wanted to see what the other party was up to, so he let the other party do what he did. Anyway, there was no pressure on him here, so it was just a thought to get out of trouble.
Part of this black mist entered his body, and did not cause any damage. Instead, it seemed to be patrolling something. At the same time, it left an extremely weak mark in a hidden place in his body, which was difficult to detect, and then he retreated.
This mark has no other function except as a mark. It seems to be what Xiao Hou said, that is, it is a person who leaves a mark to represent them.
Other black mist surrounded Gu Zheng's head, and at the same time a gentle force of exploration came from above. Just by touching it, he understood what the black mist meant. The other party wanted to search for recent memories.
Gu Zheng did not expect that the other party had such a talent, but there was an unusual fluctuation in Minato. I am afraid that this technique was given to them by the demon soul.
Although the other party would not investigate or force him as long as he did not allow it, he felt that this was the biggest breakthrough point, so he immediately stopped hesitating and let the other party drop the memory he had prepared.
He wasn't worried either. If Black Mist did something in his mind, no one would be able to react.
The memory was fabricated on the way, so as to be prepared. After all, the other party had broken off, and there would always be some means to avoid the infiltration of Guancheng. I didn't expect it to be used. Since it was hastily fabricated, there must be some flaws.
However, as long as the other two big Luo weren't searching, these people would never be able to find any flaws in it.
And Ma Nan probably doesn't have the time to ask about these things, so he can say there's no need to worry.
The black mist didn't make any other movements, just like the memory filtered through Gu Zheng's mind and then retreated.
At this time, the entire magic circle gradually began to fall back, and soon stopped running.
"Okay, let's go out."
The hoarse voice came again, and Gu Zheng walked out without observing the formation.
When Gu Zheng came out, Xiao Hou saw the female monster next to him and said.
"Mo You, it's your turn."
Unexpectedly, the name of this banshee stock was quite good, so Gu Zheng glanced at the other party.
He still has a thick waist and a big face. Apart from being barely pleasing to the eye, from the back, you can even think of him as a man.
Mo You hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant. She couldn't tell that the other person was careless, but instead had a timid feeling that didn't match the other person's temperament at all.
"It's okay inside, just pay attention to yourself and don't feel uncomfortable." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and felt that the other party's fear was a bit high before he said.
Xiao Hou next to him did not speak, but still stared at Mo You calmly, but there was already some impatience in his eyes.
"Mr. Hou, why bother trying to get along with him? He looks like a timid monster. Just go in quickly. It's okay."
At this time, Gu Zheng suddenly spoke from the side.
Because he was about to be assigned to be with them, he obviously did not want such a waste. You must know that except for one person whose cultivation was slightly weaker, the others were all at the peak of the Golden Immortal. Otherwise, he would not have gone out to such a difficult place.
Task.
Even in terms of strength, it looks like they are a top team here.
"I'm not angry with her, and I can't do it, but if the other party doesn't come in, we won't accept her here." Xiao Hou felt a little better after hearing Gu Zheng's words, but he still snorted coldly.
"It's my first time here. Thanks to Mr. Hou for taking care of me, I will need to rely on Mr. Hou in the future. Hurry in, do you hear me?" Gu Zheng saw that Mo You was still scared, so he hurriedly said, while handing over a hand
Go over and signal the other person with your eyes.
Mo You lowered her head and saw Gu Zheng's eyes. Thinking that the other party gave her the soul stone on the way, his condition improved a lot. She suppressed the fear in her heart and walked in.
"Don't worry, follow me from now on, and I will ensure that you are well-off and prosperous." Xiao Hou also felt that Gu Zheng was more pleasing to the eye at this time. He was a coolie in the small team, and everyone was flattering him. Such a sensible person
, which also made him happy, not to mention that the other party was so good at being a good person.
"I have never seen such a timid demon clan. I don't know how they cultivated." However, he still expressed his opinion on Mo You.
Gu Zheng naturally echoed the other party's words. After Mo You came out, Xiao Hou led them to their temporary place and waited for the notification later.
