On both sides of the rock, where they could not explore even in Guzheng, there were grid-like voids, barely big enough to fit two people in. They were sitting cross-legged inside, with their bodies covered in a layer of black fog and sand.
, like a sculpture, linked to the formation outside.
At the back, there was an obviously relatively open space. At this time, Tang Li was standing in it, and next to him were the men and women who had come out a step earlier. They were also standing on both sides of Tang Li, looking through the translucent wall in front of him.
Watching the ancient struggle moving forward cautiously below.
“Master Tang, why don’t we take the initiative to detonate the defensive formation, but instead trap them in?” the woman asked with some confusion.
As people who have been stationed here all year round, they naturally know this final formation. They also know that this formation has the ability to self-destruct when it cannot trap others, exerting huge destructive power and most likely delaying time.
"You still have to ask? Did you practice stupidly some time ago? We still need to buy time later. If it detonates, it will not only affect the subsequent ones, but also cause the transmission to fail. Not to mention that there are so many of us now. Is this all?
They died together in vain."
Before Tang Li could explain, the man next to him started to explain.
“I was too dizzy and didn’t think there was something to protect behind me.” The woman patted her forehead and said with embarrassment.
Having been outside for many years, I was curious about what was going on at first, but I couldn’t figure it out and gradually forgot about it. This time I was really negligent.
"The other party is about to arrive at the predetermined location. How about the person who asked you to retreat before?" Tang Li looked at the two of them and suddenly asked.
"There are no people here who participated in the formation. They have all gathered together and are waiting for the adults to open it and let them leave. But there is a little regret." Upon hearing this, the man said quickly, "Those people we arrested are all on the upper level.
There is no secret passage where the other party is, so those people are still being imprisoned inside."
"It doesn't matter, we were wrong in our early calculations, otherwise we would have had enough time to move." Tang Li did not pursue the other party's fault, but comforted him, "Now you leave here to assist the operation of the formation, and I am also preparing to move at the right time."
chance to go down.”
"Sir, do you want them to leave first?" the woman suddenly asked curiously before leaving.
"Yes, after all, we are serving the Demon God. As long as we resist for a certain period of time, we can retreat. The Demon God will definitely reward everyone." Tang Li nodded, looked at her and said seriously.
The woman and the man retreated with joy. The reward from the Demon God must be extremely generous, and they couldn't help but think about it. After all, it was very easy for them to leave in this situation.
They did not see the cold light in Tang Li's eyes or the hint of a sneer on his lips.
“No one in this place can leave.”
Muttered in a low voice, Tang Li also left here.
“It’s really strange, are we overthinking it?”
The two people who were walking carefully below were naturally unaware of the situation above. Mengzhen looked at the silence around him and saw that they had already covered more than half the distance, and muttered to himself in confusion.
You must know that as long as they speed up this distance, they can rush over in the blink of an eye.
Is there a trap ahead?
Mengzhen looked over involuntarily, but there was no dangerous atmosphere in the passage ahead. It was just like a very ordinary passage. Except for the surrounding rocks that were fixed in place, there was no engraved formation.
In the midst of doubts, and about to propose a proposal to Gu Zheng, he rushed forward with all his strength. Suddenly, a different change appeared in front of them, causing the two of them to immediately stand still and stop moving.
Around them, ripples appeared in the void without any sign, layer upon layer, rapidly spreading towards the surroundings, as if they were already in a strange space.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to block Meng Zhen who was about to do something, frowned and looked behind him.
There were also ripples in the distant space, giving this passage an illusory feeling. The entrance they entered had disappeared, and the surrounding stone walls were slowly disappearing before their eyes. They felt that the whole world was changing.
.
"It's okay. When we came in, we had already stepped into the other party's trap. But I want to see what changes have occurred in the other party. Now it seems that the other party is very vigilant and has only activated it now. If we don't activate it, it will be really difficult for us to go out.
Trouble." Gu Zheng said calmly from the side.
Meng Zhen suddenly understood. No wonder it always felt a little strange before. It was because he had too little experience and had no idea about the various strange formations or other things in the prehistoric world.
"Then this is what we do?" Meng Zhen looked at it calmly, putting a brush on his shoulder as if he were a dead body. He didn't know whether the other party could see through their plan, but with his IQ, I was afraid that he would be betrayed at that moment.
Know the truth of the matter.
"Yes, this is the opponent's lair. If you want to move forward, you must pass through here, so you must break through here first, otherwise you will always be trapped here. But it seems different from the ordinary formation.
," Gu Zheng understood the true meaning of the dream and immediately explained it carefully.
"We work together. No matter how powerful this formation is, it cannot stop us. We will definitely be able to break it." Meng Zhen also nodded and said.
While they were talking, the ripples around them had slowly stopped and returned to their normal appearance, except that this place had completely changed.
Although the area under the soles of the feet is still there, outside, the place where the rocks were originally has turned into pitch black, as if it were an endless void. In the very distance, some bright light spots of different sizes can be seen, without any traces of them.
There are patterns arranged in it, and it vaguely looks like a human figure, which seems to be providing mana for this formation.
However, the void in front of him is really an infinite void. Even if Gu Zheng steps into it, he may be completely lost in it. If he wants to be completely safe, he must at least have the strength of a quasi-sage to ignore it.
If you really want to rush over and kill those people stupidly, I'm afraid that's what the other party wants.
Two huge vibrations suddenly sounded in the distance, pulling the two people's eyes back, only to find that in the distance, a huge monster with a height of ten feet suddenly appeared.
This monster has a pair of equally thick thighs, and the bare soles of its feet just take a step, making the ground tremble a little, and even leaving a clearly visible footprint behind it.
There is a body like a rotting corpse on it, two arms with white bones leaking out, waving only a black wooden stick in the hand, and the other hand is a bone claw, waving continuously in the air, leaving
A series of terrifying wind howls.
This is naturally not the most strange thing. It looks like a huge humanoid enemy, but there are tentacle-like things growing out of the opponent's head, waving above the head. One of the thickest tentacles is holding the head.
A head with a ferocious face and pupils that were twice as big as usual were glowing with black light, as if burning black mist was constantly coming out. With the dancing of its tentacles, it looked at Gu Zheng and the others from a distance.
The other tentacles also carry heads of different sizes, but these heads have their eyes closed and look like they are sleeping, which is far less scary than the middle one.
The overall appearance is that of a person with a strange head. What's more, the other person's aura is even more frightening, as if it is a real dream.
"It seems that this place is more powerful than we thought, so be careful." Gu Zheng looked at the giant and said with a serious expression. He could naturally tell that this monster was just forcibly summoned by the formation.
"I hope we can get through." Mengzhen grabbed his weapon and brush in his hand and said with the same caution as he looked in front of him.
The head in the middle of the monster opened its mouth with a huge roar. At the same time, the eyes of the other heads also opened one after another. Their red eyes, as if they were crazy, suddenly lit up, and then a series of substantial red lights pierced the void in an instant.
Shoot towards them.
“I’m coming!”
When Mengzhen saw this scene, he immediately took a step forward. The brush in his hand suddenly glowed with a black light. As it danced rapidly in the air, black lights that were not inferior to each other also appeared in the void, no more, no less and
The number of opponents continued, and they collided in the air.
There was no earth-shattering sound. The two blended together silently in the air and disappeared at the same time, as if each melted the other.
Hit the blow, and the head in the middle clearly showed an angry look. Although there was a large distance between the two, the huge wooden stick in his hand was directly hit in the air, and it seemed that it could not touch this side at all.
But a black shadow wrapped around the stick. When the stick suddenly stopped in the air, it left directly from the body and turned into a black tornado. With the help of the huge wind generated, it roared directly towards this direction.
Come.
Facing the monster's attack, Meng Zhen was not careless at all. Hao Bai's wrist was all over, and a picture scroll instantly rose in front of him, and then continued to expand, extending to the edge, and then stopped expanding.
A picture bigger than the monster stood in front of them, completely blocking the space in front of them. The menacing black whirlwind rushed straight into the picture, and then the picture shrunk and returned to its normal appearance, suspended in Meng Zhen.
behind.
But at this time, the monster had already arrived in front of them. This time, the wooden stick in his hand could be swept directly towards them, and the other hand grabbed Mengzhen. Originally, the entire space was a slender rectangle, surrounded by
The void seems to have no way out.
Seeing this, the two people jumped up to dodge each other's attack. With a stroke of the brush in Mengzhen's hand, some rotating black light suddenly appeared on his body. The whole person seemed to have no gravity, floating in the air in an orderly manner, just like that.
Like the erratic fallen leaves, the seemingly huge bone claws deflected away from her body every time, like a slippery loach, unable to catch Meng Zhen at all.
Gu Zheng, who was behind him, was still falling in the air. Suddenly, a dark round hole suddenly opened in the void beneath him. A huge suction force came from inside. In the blink of an eye, Gu Zheng fell into it.
, as if being swallowed.
“Ancient disputes are gone!”
The writing brush on Mengzhen's shoulder, pretending to be dead, suddenly reminded loudly.
With such interference, Meng Zhen was almost touched by the opponent's sharp claws. She once again avoided the opponent's wooden stick and saw a good opportunity. The black light on her body shook, and her figure fell behind. It happened to be
See the black fog closing in the void.
"Don't worry about the other party. It's better to worry about me and how to deal with this monster." Meng Zhen said immediately.
“I can’t beat the opponent, so why don’t we wait until Gu Zheng comes out and kill the opponent together.” When Mao Bi heard Meng Zhen’s complaint, he immediately gave up.
“There are monsters that you can’t deal with, I don’t believe it.” Mengzhen stepped back, watching the monster in front of him keep approaching him, trying to think of a way to deal with it.
Mobi didn't answer at this time, and the monster didn't seem so stupid. It stood still and kept attacking, trying to get close to Mengzhen. Mengzhen was forced to retreat, but soon it was about to retreat to the rear, and it was no longer possible to retreat.
But if you retreat, there is emptiness behind you.
At this time, the monster stepped forward, occupying almost most of the area, and then stretched out its bone claws to slap Meng Zhen below.
At the same time as it fell, layers of film-like black light suddenly lit up in the middle of the entire bone claw, completely eliminating Meng Zhen's idea of trying to get through the gap. He had to suppress it with a slap like before.
As soon as Mengzhen saw it, he immediately ran forward. Even if the opponent occupied most of the space, there were still many gaps.
But how could the monster not think of this? At the same time as she moved, the wooden stick in her hand was thrust down, and it expanded rapidly in the blink of an eye, completely forming a huge shield, sealing all the paths in front of her, and in the air.
It is a bone claw that carries huge power.
Meng Zhen's expression remained unchanged. The brush in his hand quickly drew a few strokes in the air, and then flew out at an even faster speed, sticking to the shield that seemed to have extraordinary defensive power.
Those symbols were quickly twisted a few times, and they were connected end to end to form a semicircular ring. Then, with a flash of green light, the scene behind the shield could be clearly seen.
The next moment, Meng Zhen jumped up, shrunk in mid-air, and rushed directly into the semicircle. When he reappeared, he was already behind the monster.
The ghost naturally knew the other party's traces, but he didn't quite understand how the other party got out of trouble. Since this method didn't work, he tried another method. The ghost turned around and continued to attack Meng Zhen.
While the battle was going on outside, Gu Zheng calmed down and was not attacked at first. He looked at the slightly majestic middle-aged man in front of him, hesitated for a moment and then said.
“Tang Li, right?”
"It's me! Thank you for not killing my daughter." Tang Li looked at Gu Zheng in front of him and said with a smile. There was no hostile atmosphere at all, just like two friends talking to each other.
Taking advantage of these two sentences, Gu Zheng had already discovered that they were in a special place. The space was not big, at most the size of an ordinary room, and everything around them was void. With his sharp eyes, he discovered that the place they were just under was
place.
You can clearly see that Mengzhen and the monster are fighting.
“I would not attack a weak woman, let alone the other party who has not done anything bad.” Gu Zheng said with a cold snort.
He didn't lie, that's why he didn't kill the other person, he could easily see that there was almost no killing on the other side.
"So I am very grateful to you and ask you to stay here for a little longer. Then I will naturally let you all go and everything here will be destroyed, including the people you are chasing after, will all die. Do you think you are satisfied?"
." Tang Li continued to laugh.
"What do you mean? Aren't you afraid that I will catch you here first? You must know that you are no match for me." Gu Zheng looked confused and looked around carefully. There was nothing suspicious, and he said with a cold look in his eyes.
.
"Since I dare to stand in front of you, I am naturally not afraid of you. If it weren't for your kindness in keeping my daughter, I wouldn't be like this with you at this time." Tang Li spread his hands, not caring about the threat of Gu Zheng.
“Why are you stalling for time? And why are you working for the Demon God?”
Gu Zheng glanced down and saw that Meng Zhen was still interacting with the monster. There was no danger, and he even had the upper hand.
This is not beyond Gu Zheng's expectations. A monster with only a little instinct, no matter how strong the opponent is, still cannot defeat the enemy under the same circumstances. What's more, the opponent is a monster that is forcibly induced by the formation, but if the opponent is a group of
People in the golden immortal stage are still invincible.
However, he became a little interested in Tang Qing. The other person did not seem to be seduced and became a puppet-like existence of the other party. Instead, he remained true to himself and looked at the other party. On the contrary, he sincerely worked for the other party.
He didn’t think that the other party was in such a critical position and didn’t know who was above him.
“It’s not impossible to say this.” Tang Qing glanced at Gu Zheng and then said slowly.
"My daughter was once seriously injured. Thanks to the Lord Demon God's intervention, he saved my little girl's life. He even personally took action to improve my little girl's cultivation to such an extent. It's such a great kindness that I can't repay even if I am broken into pieces.
.”
“But you don’t know how much bloodshed the demon god’s birth has caused. Don’t tell me, you don’t know anything about it.” Gu Zheng stared at the other party tightly.
"Of course I know that the lives of countless people are on my hands, and my sins are heinous. I am willing to do all this, as long as I am willing to sacrifice everything for my daughter." When Tang Li said this, his eyes were still clear, without any guilt.
“I would have known better if I had brought the other party down with me, otherwise he would have been very easy to deal with.”
Gu Zheng looked at the other party and knew that the other party was a tough-minded person who could be valued by the demon. He was obviously capable. However, the biggest weakness of the other party was his daughter. The demon saved his daughter. No wonder the other party died.
repay.
"Then what are you doing here and why are you delaying time?" Gu Zheng knew that he could not change the other person's mind, so he expressed the last question in his mind.
The other party is so deliberate and low-key, so the plan is obviously not small.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just about refining the original energy for Lord Demon God. Now it's almost formed. It only takes half an hour to teleport away. At that time, my mission will be completed, and I will stay away from here with my daughter."
Facing Gu Zheng’s inquiry, he spoke out without any hesitation.
“So as long as we have a good chat, I can even make the monsters below stop attacking. Except for me, everyone here, even those lurking outside, will eventually die together.”
