"This is the way of eating! Although you have eaten crystal shrimp before, you have never eaten crystal shrimp with the way of eating in it."
Gu Zheng handed the barbecued crystal shrimp to the Ray Emperor.
With the long-coveted delicacy in hand, the King of Rays couldn't care less about eating. He seemed to have twisted the shrimp's head off and was about to throw it away, but was stopped by Gu Zheng.
"It will taste better if you dip the shrimp meat into the shrimp yellow."
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, the Stingray Emperor first put the shrimp head aside, then he grabbed the shrimp body and pulled it, and the white and tender shrimp meat was pulled out from the shrimp shell.
It seems that he is a person who has been evil for a long time and does not care about the delicate way of eating. The Ray King just took a bite of shrimp meat in his mouth.
It's chewy in the mouth, but it's juicy and sweet, which makes the Ray King think he's never eaten such delicious crystal shrimp.
After another mouthful of shrimp meat, the King Ray made a satisfied nasal sound. This second mouthful of shrimp meat gave him a different taste experience. This time it was still so chewy, but this part of the lobster meat was
It seems that you eat a lot. When you chew it, the juice is particularly rich. The more you chew it in your mouth, the more delicious it becomes.
“It smells so good!”
They were all reluctant to swallow the shrimp meat in their mouths, but after actually swallowing the crystal shrimp meat, the Ray King couldn't help but sigh.
“I’ve never had such delicious crystal shrimp in my life!”
As if a few words were disrespectful to the food in front of him, the manta ray emperor opened his mouth wide and bit into the white and tender shrimp body.
However, the body of the shrimp swallowed by the king of rays is not only white, but also has crystal clear shrimp roe on the belly of the white and tender shrimp meat.
The combination of shrimp meat and shrimp roe once again bursts out a wonderful taste experience. The elasticity and firmness of the shrimp meat, coupled with the elasticity and bursting of the shrimp roe, finally mix the juice of the two ingredients. When chewing in the mouth,
That kind of experience is simply too pleasant.
“It’s really delicious!”
He couldn't stop at all. The manta ray emperor only took three bites of the crystal shrimp that was originally three feet long. The last section of the white and tender shrimp body was just enough for him to dip the shrimp head into the sauce once.
Using the last bit of white and tender shrimp body, dipped in the little sauce inside the shrimp head, the Ray King put the last bite of delicious food into his mouth, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.
Satisfied nasal sounds continued to sound. The shrimp meat and shrimp roe burst into the mouth of the king ray, making it even more intoxicating. The fragrance went straight to the forehead and made people want to be intoxicated, but it did not make people feel that the fragrance
Too strong and too greasy, it is truly a wonderful taste experience.
"Smells, it really smells so good!"
“How come there are such delicious barbecue crystal shrimps?”
“Is this the beauty of eating?”
"I'm so scared. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat such delicious crystal shrimp in the future."
The Ray Emperor almost wanted to cry. He looked at Gu Zheng pitifully.
Gu Zheng spread his hands and said: "There is no way. I am pressed for time this time. If I have time to come to this space world in the future, I will cook delicious food for you again!"
"It's a deal, this is what you said, and it's free cooking. You didn't say you wanted anything before you cooked it for me!"
The reaction of the Ray Emperor was simply that of bursting into laughter.
"You are also very good at seizing opportunities!"
Gu Zheng also smiled. If it had been before, Gu Zheng would not have suffered such a loss, but today he was in a good mood, so he didn't care to give in to the Ray Emperor: "If I make you happy, then give it to me quickly.
As a reward for the test, please also pray that I can survive! Only if I survive can I enter this space world again, and then you can eat this peerless delicacy again."
"Satisfied, of course I am satisfied, you have to work hard, I am very optimistic about you!"
The Ray Emperor does have a scale on his body, and it is the only one. This scale is hidden on his back. Gu Zheng had seen it when he observed his body in the cave.
With a sound of gasping for air, the King Ray reached behind him and took out the scale that was still stained with a little blood, as if plucking its hair.
"Go and complete your test! Kill that bitch to vent your anger on me!"
After the Stingray Emperor handed the scales to Gu Zheng, without waiting for Gu Zheng to say anything, a force of exclusion suddenly emerged from the palace, and Gu Zheng was immediately pushed out.
After completing the test and getting the test reward, Gu Zheng's next step is to go to different places in this space world. There are things to heal the injuries of the female ray monster, but what exactly are the things to heal the injuries?
The ancient dispute is still unclear.
To fly to the last different place, Gu Zheng takes more than an hour.
The flight process was unprecedentedly boring, and Gu Zheng did not encounter any obstacles from any monster during this period of more than an hour.
The ancient struggle has stopped in front of a valley, and this valley is the last special place.
Looking at the valley that was still closed by the barrier, Gu Zheng couldn't help but sigh, the truth that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
Before entering this space world, Guzheng had used its trump cards that had restrictions on their use due to the company's anti-combat operations. They used teleportation once, Fairyland, and Crazy Mad Knife. These things are all waiting to be used again.
in the process of use.
If it weren't for the female ray monster making things difficult, it would be easier to pass her test. Gu Zheng only needs to go back to the inner magic bead and brew a similar pot of ointment. The whole process only takes less than half an hour.
.If this is the case, then Gu Zheng should not have any time to rest, and he will go directly to the depths of the cave. If he encounters a powerful monster and needs Gu Zheng's trump cards to defeat it, Gu Zheng's
If the trump card is still in the stage where it cannot be used, then it has to be said to be a disaster.
But now, due to the difficulty of the manta ray monster, Gu Zheng entered this space world to complete the test. More than four hours have passed, and in these four hours, all of Gu Zheng's trump cards have been restored. If in
In the next valley, if you can complete the test without using these trump cards, then Gu Zheng will go back to compete in full strength. Even if there are powerful monsters deep in the cave, at least Gu Zheng will be in good shape.
of.
Gu Zheng, who was sighing with emotion, frowned slightly. Many times he likes to think a little more about things, and there is often no harm in thinking a little more. Not only can he figure out problems that he couldn't figure out before, but he can also figure out things that he has already figured out.
It’s not necessarily that you’ll think about things more thoroughly, or even have a special feeling because of it.
Just like now, thinking about the problems in the future, Gu Zheng really has a special feeling. This special feeling is a guide for Gu Zheng in the future. He asked Gu Zheng to preserve his strength!
The special feeling clearly told Gu Zheng to conserve his strength. Gu Zheng just frowned and put his hand on the colorless barrier. He was going to break the barrier first, and breaking the barrier did not consume his strength for him.
.
Immortal power spread along the lines on the barrier, and soon after a crisp sound, the barrier blocking the valley shattered.
Having the experience of breaking the barrier of the valley last time, Gu Zheng this time entered the inner magic bead directly at the moment the barrier shattered. Anyway, this barrier also has a covering function. The real situation in the valley is not separated by the colorless
The way the barrier sees it.
Sure enough, just as Gu Zheng entered the Heart Demon Pearl, a large group of ghosts rushed out of the valley. Gu Zheng didn't know how many they were, and what their strength was. Gu Zheng didn't see clearly because they were too fast.
And all the flowers, plants and trees in the path were absorbed by their original energy and turned into a decayed appearance.
"At least there is the early stage of returning to the void!"
Gu Zheng made an estimate of the strength of the ghosts in his mind. Without staying outside the valley, he stepped into the valley.
It is also a valley, but compared with the vitality of the previous valley, this valley is simply ruined.
There are no flowers, grass or trees here at all, which is completely different from the green world seen through the barrier before the ancient war.
However, one thing is the same between the two valleys, that is, there are buildings in the valleys.
The building in the first valley is a thatched cottage. The building here is a white stone house, and the interior seems to be like a cave.
Gu Zheng's spiritual thoughts opened the way ahead, and soon he had a clearer understanding of the environment here. There used to be large buildings here, but these buildings have collapsed and been buried in the soil. There are many skeletons underground.
, and those skeletons have turned into evil spirits. If he doesn't slow down and go in, these underground skeletons will crawl out.
Gu Zheng would not slow down and go in. There were no air restrictions in this valley anyway. After understanding all this with his spiritual mind, he flew directly to the white building in the valley.
The white building has no door, but there is still a barrier at the door frame that can hide the scene inside. However, this barrier is not the same as the barrier outside the valley. The barrier outside the valley is very strong and belongs to the ancient struggle. You must use your immortal power to slow down.
The kind that breaks down slowly, and the barrier here is relatively weak. Gu Zheng can smash it with just a raise of his hand.
Gu Zheng raised his hand. He originally wanted to smash the barrier, but instead used his immortal power to gently disintegrate the barrier.
The reason why the originally simple cracking of the barrier was turned into a slightly more troublesome matter was because Gu Zheng suddenly felt that there might be a hidden test here.
In Gu Zheng's view, there are only two possibilities for the valley barrier and the gate barrier to be considered normal. One is that the strength of the valley barrier and the gate barrier are the same, and the other is that the strength of the valley barrier is slightly weaker than the gate barrier! Is this possible in reality?
There are few examples like this. The defense on the outside is relatively loose, and the closer you go to the inside, the tighter the defense. Of course, there is another example in reality, that is, the defense of the mountain gate is often the strongest, and the defense inside the sect is the strongest.
, relatively speaking, it is relatively weak.
Although both situations can be found in the real world, Gu Zheng still feels that it is unreasonable for a place like this to have weak internal defense. This may be a natural reaction after experiencing too many tests!
The barrier was quickly broken down, and Gu Zheng still entered the Heart Demon Pearl immediately, but this time there was no large number of monsters rushing out.
Through the Heart Demon Bead, Gu Zheng was able to observe the outside world. He found that inside the building outside, there was an old man dressed in black. The old man was taking a sip of magic power, as if he was refining an elixir.
Just when Gu Zheng was sizing up the old man, the old man suddenly turned his head and looked at the Heart Demon Pearl and said, "Since you are already here, why don't you show up to see me?"
Gu Zheng still didn't say anything, and he was already frowning in his heart, because when the old man turned around to talk to him, he realized that half of the old man's face had lost his face, and the red and ulcerated skin was exposed.
, one eye socket is also a black hole, and there are even disgusting maggots crawling in and out.
With a thought in his mind, Gu Zheng appeared outside the Heart Demon Pearl. He raised his feet and entered the stone room where the old man was.
"Welcome to your arrival. The tests here are divided into two types. One is a difficult test, and the other is a simple test. As for what kind of test I will give you, this is completely up to me.
!Since you didn’t use brute force to break the barrier when you came in, this makes me feel more comfortable, so I’m going to give you a simple test!”
Hearing what the old man in black said, Gu Zheng felt quite happy. It seemed that he had made the right choice again and did not directly use brute force to break the barrier.
"After passing your simple test, what is my reward?"
He was happy in his heart, but Gu Zheng didn't show it. He still asked about the things he was more concerned about.
"Didn't you come to me just to get medicine and go back to complete the test? The reward will naturally be the medicine that allows you to complete the test." The old man in black said.
"So, what is that simple test?" Gu Zheng asked again.
"What the simple test is, I can't tell you now. I can only tell you after you accept the task."
The words of the old man in black don't sound wrong. Many monsters will also give Gu Zheng similar tests. That is, let's not talk about the content of the test. Gu Zheng must first make a contract with them. This is not unusual.
Gu Zheng also plans to conclude a contract with the old man in black.
However, just when Gu Zheng was about to conclude a contract with the old man in black, the special feeling appeared again, and its appearance made Gu Zheng hesitate.
"What's wrong? Why not make a contract?"
The old man in black had a confused voice. It had already sent a request for a conclusion, but Gu Zheng did not respond.
Gu Zheng was immersed in the speculation of the special feeling, because this special feeling was very strange. It only made Gu Zheng understand that there would be something wrong with the conclusion of the contract, but it did not let Gu Zheng understand what would be wrong.
.
"Before, outside the valley, the special feeling allowed me to maintain my strength, but here I was not allowed to conclude a contract. What does this mean?" Gu Zheng murmured in his heart.
"Do you still want to conclude a contract? Do you know that it is very impolite for you to do this? If you don't conclude the contract, then I will regard you as abandoning the conclusion of the contract. Even if you want to conclude the contract again, you will have no chance!"
The old man in black sounded angry, but in fact he really wanted Gu Zheng to sign a contract with him. Without the binding force of the contract, he couldn't get Gu Zheng to do something for him.
"Then you just give up!"
Gu Zheng is also a little upset. He doesn't like to be urged. Since he is being urged now and he has a special feeling that reminds him that the conclusion of the contract is inappropriate, then he might as well not conclude the contract. Anyway, he has a special feeling about himself.
, he has always been more trusting.
"Do you really want to give up the contract?" the old man said with a serious expression.
Looking at the old man's serious expression, Gu Zheng felt more and more that it was right not to conclude a contract. Anyway, he didn't know what test the old man was going to give him, so he concluded the contract rashly, just in case the simple test the old man said was actually a
What to do with this difficult test? After all, the task is only valid for more than an hour. If the old man makes any mistakes, everything he has done before may be in vain!
"Let me ask you again, do you really not want to conclude the contract?"
Facing Gu Zheng's silence, the old man's seriousness turned into anger, and as his mood became more angry, the maggots in his eye sockets came in and out more frequently, making him look more disgusting.
"That's right, I just want to give up the contract. I don't want to accept the test of any tasks from you!"
He didn't look like a good person, and he had such a bad temper, and Gu Zheng had a special feeling to guide him. Even if Gu Zheng couldn't understand, he didn't want to think about it any more. He immediately explained to the old man,
He didn't want to make any contract with the old man, nor did he want to take the so-called test from the old man.
After completely rejecting the old man, Gu Zheng had an idea in his mind. He felt that there was really no need for him to take over the old man's task, because he already had the ability to heal the female ray monster. He was just injured by the female ray monster.
Only by making things difficult did I have to enter this space world.
Now, Gu Zheng is already in this space world, and is already in the special place where the antidote can be produced. Facing this old man in black who may have evil intentions, he can indeed refuse! He can completely refine it here on his own.
Making an ointment for the female ray monster to treat sores. Anyway, he had already thought that when he got the ointment, he would leave this place automatically! As for the female ray monster, she probably just knew that the antidote was on her back.
In the space world represented by the map, she doesn’t know what the antidote is!
After thinking about this, Gu Zheng really wanted to give himself a slap in the face. It was obvious that he could solve the problem after entering this space world, but he traveled thousands of miles to come to this place and wasted so much time. However, on second thought
Thinking about it, Gu Zheng was relieved. Although it took a little time, it can be said that he recovered his own strength during this time! Moreover, during the visit, he also learned more about this space world.
, the most important thing is that during the visit, he met the Stingray Emperor and got the fish scale from him that would be useful in the future.
Gu Zheng was secretly happy after rejecting the old man in black. After thinking about all this, he was ready to leave this valley, find a place to brew a pot of ointment and go back to work.
