When the Dragon King broke through the opponent's defense line and started to clean up the mess, Gu Zheng also started taking action.
"Be careful, I won't be able to help you anymore." Elder Bai said to Gu Zheng who was about to leave.
"Just cover yourself and don't expose yourself."
Gu Zheng nodded, and then left here with Wan'er, who had become similar in size to Xiangxiang and even looked exactly the same.
"Dad, who is this person? Is it my sister?" Wan'er looked at herself, twisting left and right, as if she was still not used to it.
"Don't think nonsense. She is the daughter of a friend. I only have you as my daughter. Follow me and remember what I told you." Gu Zheng knocked Wan'er on the head in annoyance.
"Remember, don't knock me, or I will become stupid." Wan'er covered her forehead with her hands and said naively.
"It's nothing, I really don't know where you heard about it." Gu Zheng was speechless, but he still rubbed the other's forehead with his hand.
This city is centered on the giant peak in front and spreads out in all directions. The planning is very large and is strictly divided into multiple levels.
For example, the place where Elder Bai is located belongs to the core area. After all, his identity is kept there, while some ordinary people live in the outer circle and are generally strictly prohibited from approaching the inner circle.
He has not been idle in the past few days, and has also gone out to observe a lot. The looseness inside and tightness here gives him great convenience. People here never think that anyone can come in quietly, so except for the inside of the mountain, everything outside is recorded.
Living.
At this time, the two people were walking side by side, heading towards the only passage on the mountain peak without any hidden figures on the spacious road.
Almost everyone here has permission to enter. Speaking of which, the two guards at the door are just a decoration. Even if Gu Zheng, a strange face, wanted to ask, Gu Zheng looked at him and left immediately.
The other party just saw that they successfully passed the test inside and didn't ask any more questions.
"This is a good thing, don't throw it away, lest it cause trouble for the other party." Gu Zheng put the blue crystal card in his hand into Wan'er's palm and warned her carefully.
Wan'er nodded obediently and put the card in her hand away again.
At this point, they had successfully entered the opponent's core.
Although it is inside the mountain peak, it is not surrounded by rough walls. It has been covered with layers of neat jade stones. Just looking at the inside, it is impossible to think that this is inside the mountain peak. It looks more like
Inside a mansion, the decoration is extremely luxurious.
However, the environment inside is complicated. In this regard, Elder Bai specially drew a schematic diagram of the mountain halfway down so that he could know his position clearly.
Naturally, what they need to do is to enter the top floor, so they have to pass through the extremely important area of the top floor. Even the target Wan'er wants to rescue is also on this floor.
Unfortunately, as a hundred elders, I still can't step in there, so I can only tell him some information that I usually pay attention to, but some of them he can't confirm whether they are true or false, so he can only let Gu Zheng know
It’s time to judge for yourself.
Regarding Wan'er's important place, Gu Zheng thought about it for a long time and finally decided to go there. No matter what, this was Wan'er's original purpose of coming here, and with the advice of others, he naturally couldn't let her down.
In any case, at least until the middle level, they shouldn't have any trouble.
The only trouble is that because they are not from here, they cannot teleport up through some key nodes. They can only go up the stairs on the side like other lower levels. It is hundreds of meters high and it is very difficult to climb up.
, but who cares about these people at the bottom?
They chose the same choice as some others, not going in from the main road in the middle, but preparing to go up from the side.
From the bottom floor to the middle floor, they occupy the lower 30% of the space. As for the upper floors, they occupy the remaining 70%, and the upper floors occupy 50% of it, which is the real core place.
Elder Bai must have said to Gu Zheng that it seems very safe to allow anyone who does not trust and control there, that is, it is based on the absence of intruders. As long as they are careful not to be discovered by those who are not puppets, it is almost
Unimpeded traffic.
The people who are trusted by the top management are also very good. It is said that most of them are on the top floor. This is also the only news on the top floor. The other one is the news of Chi Hong, who has always been on top and has only appeared outside once.
Don't look at the stairs. The almost straight design makes it impossible for people who have not become immortals to even climb up.
There is a passage here at regular intervals, and from time to time some people jump into this area from the climbing stairs.
And when they reached the middle area of the middle level, they also jumped out because it was too conspicuous at the top.
As soon as you walk out of this simple passage, you will see a very large space, or a very large square. This is the public rest area of this area. There are many simple tables, chairs and benches placed around it, whether for rest or
It is a good place to rest while talking.
Even if Gu Zheng had known about it before, he was still stunned when he saw this place. It was really luxurious here. You must know that in another area, there is another place specially for them to eat, drink and have fun, and another place specially for confidential matters. This kind of
The benefits are only available at the middle level.
The purpose of Gu Zheng and the others coming here is naturally not to inquire about any secrets here. He is not interested at all. It is just because there is a layer of teleportation nodes in the middle of the hall, just behind the only door directly opposite, where people can be teleported directly.
This is also where Wan'er wants to go.
According to the news from Elder Bai, the two people did not stop here and walked directly to the other side. There was a person over there who had the authority to take others up. He was also the person in charge of this floor and was a fanatical researcher.
He is also the person in charge of this level.
The only regret is that the other party is not a real core person and is relatively weak. Otherwise, he would definitely be qualified to come to the top. You must know that there is also an extremely fanatical researcher who admires him very much.
For Gu Zheng and others, this is the only effective and more convenient way. Once they alert the enemy and let the other party know that the enemy can lurk here, they may never have another chance.
"Hey, no one notices our difference, it's so exciting." Wan'er walked to a deserted place with no expression on her face. She couldn't help it anymore and secretly laughed.
"It's just good luck. Otherwise, let alone coming here, it would be impossible to even come here. But if it succeeds, the final credit must still be placed on you. My precious daughter is amazing." Gu Zheng looked at the other party, and then
The woman's face immediately pretended to be calm, as if she had not spoken the words just now, but after Gu Zheng finished speaking, he immediately squinted his eyes again, opened his mouth and laughed.
If she hadn't known where this place was, she would have laughed out loud, and her heart felt as sweet as drinking honey.
Gu Zheng also laughed, and then continued to lead him forward. In fact, what he said was not wrong. After getting to know this place, he also knew why it was so relaxed inside. It was just a face-saving project, because the only entrance outside was tightly guarded.
I'm afraid only a quasi-sage can sneak in silently.
And without the help of Elder Bai, he would not have had this opportunity to be able to go so smoothly. And without him, Wan'er would have been discovered long ago. I can't imagine what would happen to him if she was caught.
Go crazy.
The two people soon came to a quiet and remote place. The other person would only appear in two places. One was here, where he rested and thought, and the other was the place where he experimented. Apart from that, he rarely went out.
He is a complete workaholic and everyone admires him.
For Gu Zheng and the others, this is their chance, but they can only hope that the other party is inside, otherwise they will risk calling the other party back.
The two stopped and Gu Zheng nodded to Wan'er. The latter immediately stepped forward and knocked hard on the door, while he paid attention to the nearby area. If the other party did not take the initiative to open the door, they would not be able to open it smoothly from the outside.
"Bang bang bang"
The sound was loud and loud. It was simply a remote place. It would be difficult to find out what was going on here without passing by here on purpose. Moreover, such a big fanfare could also better reduce the other party's wariness.
"Who?"
Soon a very tired voice came from inside, which made the two outside rejoiced and confirmed that the other person was inside, which saved a lot of effort.
"I came to pick you up on Lord Qiu's order. It seems that I need to discuss something with you." Gu Zheng said in a deep voice.
The people inside opened the outer door without any suspicion. A middle-aged man stood in the door with endless fatigue on his face. He looked like an ordinary person who had not slept for several days and nights. You must know that the other party repaired it.
Although he is weak, he also has the cultivation level of the early Golden Immortal. It seems that it is really hard work to tire the opponent to this level.
"What are you doing?" The man looked at the two people's outfits and was a little confused.
However, he had no doubts. Just like everyone else, he had no idea that someone had actually sneaked in. Coupled with his actions just now and his current composure, he could not have discovered it at all.
"We just came back from performing a mission outside, and when we heard the Lord's bright voice, we immediately diverted here." Xiangxiang said first from the side.
"My lord is very anxious. If anything happens, we'd better wait until the superiors discuss it." Gu Zheng continued from the side.
Gu Na: "Oh, okay, I'll clean up a little bit."
The research madman was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately. He didn't dare to object to Lord Qiu's order, so he hurriedly walked in with the door open. However, his sight was stuck. Gu Zheng didn't know what the other party was doing inside, and he didn't know what he was doing inside.
Don't worry, the other party will definitely follow their plan.
It didn't take much time, and the energetic research madman came out in neat clothes. However, the clothes were obviously worn for visiting guests. It seemed like there were thorns on the other person's body, causing the other person to twist from time to time. It looked like
Very uncomfortable.
The three of them didn't talk along the way. There were a few times when the other party wanted to speak to break the calm. Seeing Gu Zheng and Wan'er's cold and businesslike looks, they swallowed their words again. But this time, the research madman was pleased that this
The person who invited him over this time was much more polite than the previous times.
The past few times, I wanted to stare at him all the time, as if he could turn into an assassin with me. I don't know how wronged I am. My own cultivation can't even stop Master Qiu with a finger. I don't need to be so vigilant.
Although the other party's attitude was still cold now, there was no scrutinizing gaze, which made him feel a lot more comfortable. More importantly, both of them took half a step back from him, instead of escorting the prisoner like before, which greatly increased his vanity.
of satisfaction.
"It seems that Master Qiu trusts me more and more."
He simply said nothing, straightened his waist and raised his chest, like a little leader, and headed towards the teleportation point in the hall.
"puff"
As they arrived there, the research madman opened the door very consciously, without realizing anything was wrong. In the past, the other party would not let him make any move.
People in the hall didn't pay attention, because this kind of situation would happen every once in a while. Who asked Mr. Qiu to let the other party study part of his private work? The latter also lived up to the other party's expectations. Rumors soon made him an exception.
.
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, and with a flash of light around him, the door in front of him opened again. This time they had successfully reached the upper level, and it was also the highest level that usually could not be reached without permission.
"Let's go, don't keep the adults waiting, or do you have something to do?"
Just after leaving the node, the other party saw that Gu Zheng and the two people were not moving, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully.
"Then I'll go over first, you guys are busy."
Seeing that the two people had no reaction, he was just a little surprised, and then wanted to leave. He could go there by himself anyway.
"There is one more thing I need to trouble you with." Gu Zheng suddenly spoke at this time.
Before the other party could react, Wan'er's figure flashed and appeared behind him. At the same time, something cold came close to the back of his head. Then he discovered to his horror that he had lost control of his body and was just like a bystander.
.
Even at this time, he just thought that Master Qiu was going to attack him, and did not realize that the other party was an intruder.
"I need to trouble you next." After Gu Zheng said this, the research madman automatically walked aside.
Gu Zheng and Wan'er, on the other hand, followed each other, as if they were escorting him.
If a new face appeared here, it would definitely attract others' attention, but with the shield in front of them, the people they met along the way only looked at it a few more times without suspecting anything, and the place they were heading towards was Master Qiu's laboratory.
, this is even more normal.
Gu Zheng and the others naturally didn't know where Xiaofa and her brother were being held, but if someone knew about it, they would naturally know where the other party was if they followed the lead.
Soon they stopped at the door of a room. Judging from the side scale, it was definitely a huge space.
Wan'er glanced at Gu Zheng, and then stepped forward and pushed it away. What they saw in front of them shocked all of them. In front of them were sealed crystals, filled with light gray liquid, and inside were
The people who were caught here were unconscious one by one, and some of them directly recovered their original bodies. Various creatures. If you look carefully, there are at least thousands of crystals, but most of them are empty now.
"This is where they explain the brainwashing. The liquid inside looks like diluted black water." Gu Zheng immediately had a guess in his mind.
"Let's go in, it's too conspicuous outside."
Gu Zheng took Wan'er and walked in. Naturally, the tool man also followed him, lest anyone see him, and he had a perfect excuse.
"Here should be people who were arrested before. It seems that many of them have been released." Wan'er kept saying while watching carefully.
"Look to see if there is Xiaofa's brother. Let's not waste too long." Gu Zheng didn't have much interest in this place. He already knew the other party's methods.
"I'm looking for him. I know what he looks like." Wan'er's eyes were still scanning around quickly, trying to find Xiaofa's brother.
"No!"
But after half a day's work, Wan'er looked twice and couldn't find Xiao Fa's brother.
"Are you sure you won't be here anymore?" Gu Zheng was also a little surprised and asked again.
"Of course, I looked at his portrait bit by bit." Wan'er said with certainty, then with a trace of anxiety on her face, "There must be some accident."
"Maybe not here, let's go to another place."
Gu Zheng thought for a moment, took them away from here, or let the tool man lead the way and continued walking forward.
"Where are we going? Is there a second place?" Wan'er asked quietly on the road.
"No, that's an experimental site. It seems to specialize in studying those special races." Gu Zheng also had an exchange with the tool man just now. After several threats, the other party spoke directly, in order to ensure that Gu Zheng would not be killed.
He was very frank and let Gu Zheng know what was being studied here.
"Master Qiu is not in the laboratory, what are you doing there?"
On the way past, I met a man walking in the opposite direction. He seemed to know the tool man. After getting closer, I was immediately curious.
He asked, looking at Gu Zheng and the other two.
"This is the new servant assigned to me by Lord Qiu. He asked me to go to the laboratory to get some things." The tool man opened his mouth and said directly.
This is still Gu Zheng controlling the opponent, he will not block the opponent's high density.
"That's it, I understand. You can go ahead. I have something to do first." The man suddenly understood and left immediately without seeming to think anything was wrong.
"Let's hurry up. If the other party goes to find Mr. Qiu, he may be exposed." Gu Zheng waited for the other party to disappear from sight, and then said to Wan'er.
Soon they came to a place. After opening the door and entering, they found that the place was even bigger, twice as big as the hall they had seen before. However, the ground here was almost empty, and there were things in the air.
Dozens of prisoners were thrown into the air by vertical iron ropes.
It's just that the person imprisoned here is not a human being, but a creature of different shapes. You can see through this place at a glance.
"No, how could this be? Or is he already dead?" Wan'er was a little worried when she saw all the sleeping creatures here, and couldn't help but murmur to herself anxiously.
She knew this was the last place. If she found it here, she would never find it.
"By the way, I heard you say that Xiaofa also gave you a token." Gu Zheng suddenly said to Wan'er.
"it is this."
Wan'er immediately took out half of the blood-red jade pendant, and the moment she took it out, a hanging ball cage not far away also flashed a red light, attracting their attention.
