"Let me go, let me go quickly, I don't want to go, I don't want to die, I'm willing to do anything."
Along with a scream of fear, a wide river gradually appeared not far in front of them.
The entire Soul River is hundreds of feet wide. It can be said to be a surging sea area. Countless black mist floats in the air, shrouding the surroundings like a heavy fog. The density becomes higher in the center of the river, only half of it in the middle.
It was so dark that I couldn't see clearly inside.
The raging river kept lapping on the shore, occasionally stirring up some waves to fall on the shore and deposit around it, giving the entire land on the shore a strange black color and trembling with coldness.
This is the place where the demon spirits talk about it and everyone becomes frightened.
"Shut up!"
Gu Zheng felt that his eardrums were shaking, and then he shouted in a low voice to the screaming Hua Xin, not caring about the other party's begging for mercy.
Unfortunately, the latter didn't seem to hear him and was still shouting in horror.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The next moment, the other party's screams stopped abruptly, as if his mouth was blocked, and he kept whimpering.
Feeling the purity in his ears, Gu Zheng felt better. He still walked firmly and quickly forward, entering the edge areas filled with black mist.
As soon as she entered, Hua Xin's voice suddenly stopped, her eyes were dazed, and she looked straight towards the Soul River, as if there was something there that was attracting her, even if she was restrained in the air by Gu Zheng, she wanted to move towards it.
Get closer over there.
"So evil?"
Gu Zheng stood on the edge, carefully distinguishing the black mist, but did not find anything that affected him. It was just like ordinary black mist, except that it could suppress some spiritual consciousness.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Zheng controlled Hua Xin and slowly exited the edge of the black mist.
The black mist is like a protective barrier, everything is condensed within a certain range. Once it comes out, there will be no influence at all from the outside, and everything will be clear.
When Hua Xin came out, his body no longer struggled, and his eyes regained clarity from his confused state. After seeing the black fog so close in front of him, his eyes widened, and then he opened his mouth, ready to scream again.
"Shut up, you're yelling and I'll throw you right in."
Gu Zheng took a step forward, once again blocked the opponent's mouth with a ball of air, stopped the opponent's screams, and then threatened fiercely.
Hearing this, Hua Xin nodded quickly, indicating that she would never make a sound. Only then did Gu Zheng allow the other party to speak.
"Sir, we don't want to go in. You have ways to stop it, but you also saw that I lost control the moment I went in." Hua Xin said anxiously as soon as he could speak, with fear still lingering in his eyes.
, she doesn’t want to die here.
This soul river is a place that all demon souls are afraid of. From the silver ghost generals at the peak of Da Luo to the black souls with only the cultivation of heavenly immortals, no one is spared. At most, the stronger the strength, the affected range will be different.
With Hua Xin's strength, as long as he doesn't go in, he won't be affected at all. Those demon souls with lower cultivation levels will become confused when they get close to this place, and they can't help but jump in.
Although Gu Zheng knew that the Soul River was powerful along the way, he never expected that it would be so domineering.
You can feel Hua Xin's struggle just at the edge, and there is even an invisible force that wants to release his control over Hua Xin.
This made it a bit difficult for him, but just walking on the edge was not safe at all.
Just like Hua Xin said, as long as they don't go in, the other party will still be able to patrol the edges. In his plan, even if it's not by the river, he has to walk through the center and hide inside. Only in that way can the outside world be completely eliminated.
discovery.
Gu Zheng looked aimlessly into the dense black mist, thinking in his heart about how to get in. He didn't trust the other party to take her all the way there. Even if the other party cooperated, he would not trust the other party.
Even if the heart of the painting is in his hands, for the sake of his own life, the other party will most likely not do this. He can still crush the other party to death at any time. He will not trust the other party and would rather take a detour.
There are too many threats to him on the road, especially if he encounters an enemy who is not inferior to himself, the chance of being exposed is too great, and he doesn't want to lose the bet.
If the other party finds an opportunity to notify the enemies on the road, he has no way to stop it. The other party has too many methods to prevent him. If he is ambushing him, he may not be able to escape, and the risk is too high.
"Huh? That is?"
Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed and he turned to look to the side. He saw a dim red light, only the size of a fist, looming, slowly moving along the shore of the Soul River in mid-air.
If it weren't for Gu Zheng's amazing eyesight, he wouldn't have been able to see the special situation inside. He straightened his figure, turned to the side and asked Hua Xin, who was still frightened.
"Is there anything special inside or on the edge of the Soul River? Like something red?"
"No, except for the relatively rare water monsters, nothing can survive in it. What did you see?"
While Hua Xin answered, she tried her best to stretch out her neck and looked forward curiously. Even the fear in her heart did not affect the curiosity of the other party. Unfortunately, according to her eyesight, everything was black and she did not find the red light.
.
"You wait here, I'll go take a look!"
Gu Zheng watched the red light quickly come to his middle from behind, and continued to walk upwards. A familiar feeling came in his heart, which seemed to have something to do with him. He was afraid that the other party would leave and leave a message.
He immediately ran towards it.
"Hey, hey"
Hua Xin watched Gu Zheng disappear into the black mist before her eyes. She stretched out her hand to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the figure of the other person disappeared into the black mist, leaving her speechless.
"Should I take this opportunity to leave here?"
Hua Xin suddenly became excited when she saw that she was the only one around, but the other party had not placed any restrictions on her.
As long as you stay a certain distance away and then use your talents, you can definitely make the other party find you and escape from the other party's clutches.
Thinking like this, his body turned around and took steps honestly, but a horrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
"What if the other party is testing me on purpose? You know I can't get close to the demon soul. The other party thinks I'm a burden, so they're just waiting for me to leave so they can make excuses."
Thinking of this, her body froze, and she slowly turned around and looked at the black mist, as if there was an evil beast hiding in it, waiting for her to fall into a trap and swallow her up in one gulp.
"Follow the other party, and they will definitely not kill me. If I escape, if the other party finds me, I will be dead."
Thinking of Gu Zheng's previous familiarity with the Painted Soul Clan, his face immediately became righteous and awe-inspiring, and then he took a few steps back, then stood there and continued to wait for Gu Zheng's return.
It seemed that his actions just now were just to stay away from the black mist, and he had no other thoughts.
But in fact, Gu Zheng completely forgot about the painting center outside at this time, because as he approached the red light, a familiar aura came from above, and he could tell whose aura it was just by distinguishing it slightly.
Pan Xuan!
Thinking of this, he increased his speed again, and in just a few breaths, he had already crossed the middle area and arrived in front of the red light.
"Who are you?"
To his disappointment, a girl of about ten years old appeared in front of him. She was wearing an ordinary red cloth. She looked a bit rustic. She didn't look much different from ordinary human children, but she had some pointy hair.
The ears and the black armor in the middle of the forehead all show the other person's identity, and he is also a native demon soul.
The sudden appearance of Gu Zheng frightened the other party. He looked at Gu Zheng blankly, never expecting to meet anyone else here.
You must know that after taking a few steps inside, you will directly reach the edge of the Soul River. Almost no demon souls can come here.
Looking at the somewhat bewildered demon boy in front of him, Gu Zheng observed the opponent. There was a red stone in his hand. Irregular red lines spread around it, emitting a light red light. It formed a simple protection and protected the opponent.
She was protected, and behind her, there was a small bamboo basket with several brown and red plants in it, like mushrooms.
There is nothing strange about the other party, but the red stone in his hand has Pan Xuan's aura. The little demon boy in front of him only has the strength of a fairy. Judging from the unstable aura on the other party, he has not been born at all.
How many days.
He did not reach out to pick up the stone, because the other party obviously relied on this stone to walk here.
"Where did you get this money from, and why did you come here?" Gu Zheng said condescendingly.
But to Gu Zheng's expectation, the little medicine boy ignored him at all, turned around and ran away, heading back in the direction he came from.
But just after running two steps, I found that my feet were empty, and my whole person was suspended. My calves were flying in the air, and I couldn't control my body shape. Then my body slowly turned around and automatically floated in front of Gu Zheng.
Head and Gu Zheng looked at each other.
"Tell me your origin, where did this thing come from." Gu Zheng looked into the other person's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"I have no idea."
The panicked little eyes did not dare to look at Gu Zheng, so he turned his head and said.
"If you don't say anything, I will take away your stone and throw you into the Soul River." Gu Zheng said in a silvery voice, and even controlled the other party's body to shake slightly in the air.
This time, the little medicine boy collapsed a little, and immediately burst into tears. At the same time, he was still crying, but he didn't say anything.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he didn't expect that the other party would answer honestly as soon as he opened his mouth. Faced with Pan Xuan's news, he would naturally go.
"Don't throw me in. Someone is sick. I came here to collect some medicinal materials and give them to the doctor in the nearby city. Then I will take them back to treat the disease."
Seeing Gu Zheng pretending to throw her away, she immediately shouted as her body was already lifted high.
"It turns out it's for treating illnesses. Is it the medicinal material behind you?"
Gu Zheng pretended to be surprised and said, and at the same time he put the other party down.
"Yes, this kind of medicinal material is only found here. It is very rare. I was sent here to look for it, but this is the only difference. This stone was given to me by the client to defend myself. Otherwise, I would not be able to go in that deep." Xiao Yao.
Tong forced his desire to escape and echoed.
"You wait."
Gu Zheng left such a sentence without any beginning or end, and then disappeared in front of the little Yaotong in an instant.
After looking left and right, the little medicine boy tried to take a few steps back. After realizing that the situation was not the same as before, he was convinced that the other party had left here and immediately ran towards the back.
As for asking her to wait, she is not that stupid. Even if the other party does not seem to mean harming her, she will not stay where she is.
After running for a long time, her galloping figure slowly slowed down, and her little face was full of joy. She was glad that she got rid of the other party. She was very satisfied with her prompt decision. If she had really stayed there stupidly,
My brain is broken.
Although she is weak and has been born for a short time, it does not mean that she is so completely stupid.
Unfortunately, when she was completely relaxed, her body suddenly became unable to move. An invisible force restrained him, and her whole body remained in a flying posture in mid-air, with only her eyeballs sliding back and forth in her eye sockets.
"Running so fast, meeting each other is fate. Take these things back to save people."
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and then she found that she could move again, and her body was even flying quickly according to her last thought. The huge contrast between the two only made her fly out a little, and she fell to the ground.
The stone in his hand was almost thrown away.
She quickly stood up from the ground and looked back, but she didn't find anyone. The man who frightened her didn't appear next to her, as if the voice just now was just an illusion.
The medicinal materials on her body had fallen to the ground. She quickly gathered the nearby medicinal materials and put them in a bamboo basket. Only then did she realize that there were only four or five medicinal plants, but now there were twice as many, which made her extremely happy.
You must know that this thing itself is extremely difficult to find. The previous quantity was barely enough. After meeting that terrifying man, she no longer dared to look for it. In addition, it took a long time to come out and she did not know the situation in the city.
Prepare to go back first.
Thinking about the words just now, the other party should have sent it to her specially to let her know that she had some misunderstandings and that the other party might not have any ill intentions towards her.
"Thanks!"
After thanking her in a low voice, she put the bamboo basket on her back and sped up again. She had been out for a long time, and this time she wanted to go back.
Gu Zheng didn't hear this thank you, because on the way to catch up, he remembered a problem. After such a long delay, Hua Xin might have escaped, so he hurried back.
After all, without him, it would be impossible to bypass the opponent's core. The four tightly guarded cities around it are enough to intercept anyone with evil intentions. This is why the isolated city has lost a lot, but it cannot penetrate.
s reason.
The journey was fast and lightning fast, and soon I came to the place where I stayed before. I originally thought that Hua Xin had left. Although a trace of consciousness was left on the other party, it was still very difficult to find. What I didn't expect was that the other party was still in the same place, with his mouth
Zhong was still chatting away, and he could faintly hear the other party's voice.
"Should we take the opportunity to leave? Or should we stay here safely?"
Although she knew that she was useful to Gu Zheng, she also didn't dare to gamble. She was not afraid of the worst, just afraid of ten thousand.
As for the arrangement of life, that is something that the whole clan is doing. As long as they can survive, they can say anything.
But if I don't run away, I feel a little sorry for such a God-given opportunity, so I get entangled like this, and then I wait until the ancient war comes, and I am still entangled in the war between heaven and man.
"It seems that you are really obedient. If you run away, the poison I put in your body is specially prepared by me. It will kill you in less than three seconds. This is the antidote. I will give it to you once every seven days."
Seeing this, Gu Zheng came to her silently, then laughed and threw out an ordinary elixir, which was a basic recovery elixir.
After hearing this, Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief and was thankful for her choice. How could the other party be unprepared? She just didn't know it. Fortunately, she made the right choice.
I swallowed the elixir without hesitation, and I felt that my energy was much better, and I firmly believed in Gu Zheng's words.
"Okay, let's go first. We won't go up to the bridge below first." Gu Zheng ordered immediately after seeing the other party finish eating.
Hua Xin didn't ask any questions and followed Gu Zheng. Anyway, as long as he didn't go inside, everything would be easy.
It only took one day for Gu Zheng to reach the bridge below with his painting heart in mind.
The bridge is made entirely of black stone bricks, with a straight black guardrail next to it. It looks very ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that there was another layer of black light surrounding the bridge to block the black fog, it would have been built casually by ordinary people.
Some people believe it.
Too crude!
There was nothing outside here, a large open area. Gu Zheng, with his heart in mind, simply set up a hidden barrier and waited there with peace of mind.
"Are we going to wait here?"
Hua Xin and Gu Zheng hid in the barrier on the side, and then stood there for a long time before they realized what they were doing.
"Just wait, it will only take a day at most."
The purpose of his coming here was very simple. The other party had obviously been in contact with Pan Xuan, and it was not an ordinary contact, otherwise he would not have given her the special stone.
Since there is no other way to get it, let's just take the simplest way, which is to follow the other party and let the other party lead him to find Pan Xuan. The chance of finding Pan Xuan is very high. Even if he can't find it, he can still find it from the person behind her.
Got the news about Pan Xuan.
This is the only passage. According to the other party's footsteps, it can be reached in less than a day. Although it is slower, it is safe.
Hua Xin stopped talking, and continued to think about the method of being raped on her body, trying to find out. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find any clues, which made her feel even more terrible.
Most of the day passed in a blink of an eye. For Gu Zheng and the others, there was not much difference from the blink of an eye. Even their initial postures did not change.
Before the little demon boy arrived, a small group of people came running towards us from the opposite road. However, looking at each other, they seemed to be being hunted by something, and they were a little embarrassed.
This place is too far away from the demon soul, so there is no defense value at all, and it is the only connecting passage.
After the demon souls stationed here were attacked many times, they simply abandoned this place, and it became the fastest way in and out for both sides, the only way for the Soul Alliance and those wandering bandits to pass by.
It's not completely impossible. If you want to go around and go directly down the Soul River, it will take half a year to reach the bottom of the Soul River. There is no such black mist there for people to fly through.
As for the end, no one has ever explored it.
So this is the only relatively safe passage that is unguarded.
