"Refuge?" Gu Zheng asked suspiciously, then took a few steps ahead and looked at it carefully.
It is obvious that this is an underground cave. When I raise my head, I can see the dry well above my head, but the distance is several times longer than before. A simple fixed wooden board is placed on the wall. If people want to get out, they can only climb out, which is amazing.
The entire cave is very large, at least 5,000 people live in it without any problems, but according to my own observation, the other party only has more than 1,000 people here, which is spacious enough.
Unknown red fluorescent beads are inlaid on the wall, filling the entire cave with a strange red light.
In the cave next to it, there are stone caves that have been opened long ago. Through several unmanned caves, the basic things are all available inside.
Those monsters had already returned to their respective residences, and some secretly watched this side at the door, looking at this sudden guest.
"That's it?" Gu Zheng saw a figure sitting in a corner, but some simple food was offered in front of him.
But that person has been dead for a long time, except for a decayed body, not even the soul is there.
"This man is the ancestor god of the tribe here. I'm afraid you've seen the horrors of the villages outside when you came. Now there are four nearby villages with a total of more than 100,000 people, and now there are only more than 1,000 people. If he didn't protect us two in the end Well, I'm afraid you won't see us either." The old bird said sadly.
"Is that Soul-devouring Beast so powerful? And why do you appear here?" Gu Zheng asked curiously, he also wanted to know some additional information about the Soul-devouring Beast.
"Soul-devouring Beast? The name of that monster? It really matches! It is very powerful. When he first appeared, we gathered together. Three Golden Immortals in the middle stage, two Golden Immortals at the peak, and one Golden Immortal in the late stage besieged him. , but was defeated by the opponent, except for the two of us, all of them died, if it wasn't for the cave he left unintentionally before, I'm afraid we would have died long ago."
A gleam of fear flashed in the little monkey's eyes, as if he had seen the scene when they confidently wanted to kill each other, but were defeated by the opponent's beating.
"The thing is like this, after you let us go, Mr. Gu, we headed towards the west. For the wandering ancestor gods, there is no distinction of region, and we can go wherever we want." The old bird sighed beside him, very In a few words, they explained their itinerary.
After they left and came all the way here, they returned to their old profession. Unfortunately, after only a few successes, they were discovered by a very powerful ancestor god. They barely escaped after being severely injured. At that time, they They came to this island and got the assistance of the ancestor god in front of them, which saved their lives.
It's a pity that when their injuries were just recovering, one of the ancestor gods broke into here like crazy, as if he lost his mind. Just when they were about to subdue him, all the incense power from the opponent's body suddenly exploded, and the whole person Died like a deflated balloon.
It would be fine if it was just like this, there are always some people who are not afraid of death who want to study the secret of the power of incense, and the methods of death are different.
But before the other party waited for them to get close to collect his body, a black energy flashed out from the other party's body, swallowing up that person's body in a blink of an eye.
A monster was born from it. Normally, it was covered with black mist all over the sky, and only at certain times would it return to a strange appearance.
Moreover, they are very good at manipulating their hearts, causing people to have various hallucinations, and even the whole person can be controlled by it, which is impossible to guard against, even they cannot completely resist it.
At the time it appeared, there was no way to escape from here, but at that time it could still enter. Some nearby ancestor gods felt the situation here. After entering, they joined together to prepare for the killing, but they were killed instead.
And that monster started to set off a bloody storm here, devouring the monster, and the surrounding villages were all swallowed up by him.
After the two of them narrowly escaped their lives, they went to save some people who survived nearby, but that was all.
In the end, even the little monkey was in tears. So many compatriots died at the hands of the other party, which made them feel like dying. If it wasn't for these people to continue to survive, they would have committed suicide and attacked the other party.
"Do you know what's going on nearby?" Gu Zheng finally knew how the Soul-devouring Beast appeared after listening, and then asked the most relevant question.
"Movement? Of course, every time after dark, the monster will appear on the main body, attacking crazily outside, as if trying to escape from here, but we are just guessing, we dare not go out in such a violent situation , That movement is really scary." The little monkey said immediately after hearing it.
"The night here I heard you say before, it's getting longer and longer now, why is it so short this time!" Gu Zheng asked thinking of the terrifying roar that was about to dawn.
"I'm afraid it was you who came in, which has attracted the attention of that monster, and then forcibly tore open the night, trying to seize your teleportation token, and leave here. After all, that monster doesn't just have instincts, it seems to have a lot of wisdom .” The old monkey said slowly beside him.
"Mr. Gu, you heard what we said just now. If it is true that the night is not disappearing, it means that we have been abandoned. Except for your token to leave here, all of us including that monster will be forgotten here , until he dies." The little monkey said with some fear.
They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of being alone. If that is the case, they might as well die.
"So that's how it is." Gu Zheng looked at the above thoughtfully, but unfortunately he couldn't see it from the outside, and he couldn't perceive any outside things here, as if it was divided into two worlds, and the only link between them was this dry well.
"Now this area is the only place that has not been affected by him. Outside, I use magic weapons to hold the area nearby. We can only go out when it is dark and when the opponent's strength is weakest. There is no way to light a bonfire here, otherwise It will suffocate them to death." The little monkey continued.
They don't need to eat and drink, but these ordinary people have to survive.
Gu Zheng feels that the two of them have changed at least a little more than before, maybe it's these things.
The air suddenly became silent.
"You don't have much supplies, do you?" Gu Zheng asked first to break the calm.
"It's very little, and I can support it for half a year at most. Everything is gone. No one would have thought that such a powerful force would fail. Mr. Gu, you don't really accept the mission here, do you? The opponent has already fought a battle, and the opponent is too strong to leave here quickly!" The little monkey said and then remembered the purpose of Gu Zheng's coming here.
"Don't worry, since I dare to pick it up, I'm sure. Besides, if I don't get rid of him, even if this space is lost, even so many lives will be lost." Gu Zheng shook his head and said, in fact, there is another reason Did not say it.
That is for the huge points, only the red coins can be exchanged for the points, I wasted too much time in order to prepare the arrest warrant, and I wasted too much time to find here, maybe I don't have so much time to receive more tasks.
This time, I must complete the task, otherwise there will be no time.
"You should share these things with everyone first. Don't save them. We will go back soon." Gu Zheng took out a bracelet and handed it over. Most of it contained simple food, which could be eaten directly. It is not a problem to have enough food for thousands of people for a year.
"Great, I thank Mr. Gu for them." The old bird took a look and said happily.
"But Gu Zhengzi, the other party is very powerful, you have to pay more attention." The little monkey said worriedly from the side.
"I know, I will be more careful." Gu Zheng said confidently.
With this place to hide, Gu Zheng stayed here with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the other party to try to break through here, so he can find the other party here.
If there is no such place, I am afraid that Gu Zheng will have to face that terrible enemy as soon as he arrives.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was so confident, the two of them hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
In their hearts, they also wanted to fight to defeat that terrifying monster. Only in this way can they leave here. In the final analysis, no one wants to die.
Here the old bird took the bracelet given by Gu Zheng, left the little monkey to tie him up, and began to walk towards those caves. These monsters hadn't eaten for many days, and their strong bodies were already emaciated.
The monsters caught the food that was enough for them to eat a few meals, and everyone looked at Gu Zheng gratefully. The old bird told them the source of the food, but he didn't tell Gu Zheng to come here the goal of.
I am afraid that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Looking at these monsters, except for some physical characteristics that show that the other party is a monster, but their behavior is almost exactly the same as that of humans.
Although their identities are monsters, they have been assimilated here for many years, so that these local monsters will not be transformed into their original forms at all. Only when they break through to the heavenly immortals can they re-transform into the existence of the monster race.
Under the leadership of the little monkey, Gu Zheng left the hall and came to an uninhabited cave, where he lived safely for the time being.
Originally, Gu Zheng was not in a hurry. According to what the two of them said, now the night will fall almost once in less than ten days, but the two nights have passed, and the soul-devouring beast has not tried to break through.
He also came to the well several times tentatively, but he could feel a vigilant gaze scanning all the space in the sky, it seemed that because of his arrival, the other party was alarmed, so that the other party did not dare to go any further. Try to break through the passage, as if you feel weak and you will be fatally attacked.
The more I think about Gu Zheng, the more I feel that my idea is correct, the other party's sensitivity is really strong, maybe he has noticed something, so a new idea came to mind.
On this day, the sky was still the same. From a high altitude, the originally beautiful Yunxia Island looked dark and lifeless.
Gu Zheng, who had recovered his original appearance, stood high in the sky and looked down quietly, when gusts of breeze came, and the strange smell mixed with it had already made him close his mouth and nose.
His consciousness kept scanning the sky, and he stood there defenseless, just waiting for that soul-devouring beast to appear.
But the sky was silent, he had been standing here for half a day, and the other party still hadn't appeared.
"clang"
A long sword of good quality was suddenly pulled out by Gu Zheng. Layers of golden light emerged from his hand and slowly covered the long sword. Suddenly, bright golden light rose in the air, and traces of aura were drawn from the sky and the earth. Coming over, strong winds formed, and some surrounding clouds were unconsciously attracted towards this side.
The strong golden light was as real as it was, and invisible energy was constantly blowing around him, making Gu Zheng's clothes rattle.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Zheng raised the long sword in his hand, slashed towards the void in front of him, and made a heavy sonic boom. All the energy gathered together, and a huge sword energy suddenly appeared in the air, heading towards the distance A piece of cloud cut away.
The huge wind pressure rushed over at the first moment, and wherever it passed, the clouds in the sky were shattered, cut from large pieces into small pieces, and then cut into nothingness from small pieces, but there was always a piece of cloud, as if it was not affected by any energy, Still floating quietly in the air.
Let the strong wind blow, I still stand still.
In an instant, the sword shadow slashed heavily on the group of clouds, and the originally solid cloud suddenly cracked a huge gap, and the seemingly solid cloud continued to melt around the sword energy.
Countless clouds and mist rolled up and were squeezed and pushed out towards the two sides.
After a few breaths, the cloud was pierced in an instant, and the undiminished sword energy continued to rush out, and soon disappeared before his eyes.
"Roar"
An angry roar resounded in the air, and I saw that the colorful clouds that were just scattered gathered together under a certain force, and the original white and flawless clouds suddenly turned black.
In the blink of an eye, the large area in front of him turned into a constantly churning black sea, gusts of wind continued to blow, and the roaring sound of the sky continued to resound.
The other party was actually hiding aside, making it easy for Gu Zheng to find him.
For the Soul-devouring Beast in this state, Gu Zheng had already heard from the little monkeys that their last battle had all been revealed, and Gu Zheng already had some understanding of some of the Soul-devouring Beast's attack methods.
But the last time they didn't see its real body at all, they were directly defeated by this cloud of black mist.
Dots of red light rose in the black mist, and Gu Zheng could feel the gaze coming from above, like the eyes of a soul-devouring beast.
"Roar"
A huge roar sounded from the tumbling black mist again, and at the same time, a strange wave flashed in the air,
However, Gu Zheng could strangely perceive the slightest warning from the other party.
"This is my place, get out of here."
Gu Zheng's expression froze, it seemed that the other party seemed to be able to perceive things that many people could not perceive, such as his true identity, which was really interesting, how did it come into being.
I thought so in my mind, but my hands kept moving, and I wasn't just chatting with the other party, I wanted to see how powerful the other party's immortal body was.
In the last battle, the little monkeys with full firepower smashed the black mist into pieces in just a few rounds, and then they relaxed their vigilance, and the opponent took the opportunity to invade their minds. Let's kill.
Stabilizing his figure, ignoring the violent hurricane, Gu Zheng threw the long sword in his hand.
A golden light flashed on the entire long sword, and thousands of golden sword shadows were transformed into the air, covering the sky layer by layer, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the black mist.
The next moment, there was a loud sound of swords in the sky, and the shadows of swords shot down like a long dragon at a high speed, and countless meteors flew towards the one below with a howling sound.
Originally, the Soul-devouring Beast didn't seem to want to fight Gu Zheng, but seeing that the opponent made a move first, he wouldn't just catch it without a fight. Black balls the size of fists emerged from the black mist, shooting towards the sky one by one.
"puchi puchi"
The seemingly menacing black balls were in mid-air, but they were pierced one by one at the moment of contact, turning into black air all over the sky, and did not block any of Jian Ying's attacks at all.
However, when those sword shadows passed through, the outside was already covered with thick black air, and the color of the sword shadows could hardly be seen, even so, none of them entered the tumbling black mist.
"Boom"
The sound of explosions in the sky kept ringing, and every golden sword burst in the explosion, making a deafening sound, and a large black mist was drawn into the center of the explosion in the air, directly annihilated.
The black mist that filled the sky was blown into pieces, as if it had been hit hard just like that.
But just before the golden sword landed, a large section of black mist was split from above in the middle of the black mist.
Almost all the black mist was condensed, and thousands of black swords were also condensed, glowing with bright black light, shooting towards Gu Zheng, almost simulating Gu Zheng's attack method.
"jingling"
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to grab it, and the long sword in the sky flew upside down in his hand in an instant, and his whole body began to move rapidly, and began to resist the black sword in front of him.
When the two intersected, there was a sound of gold and iron clashing, none of the dense black swords broke into Gu Zheng's body, and Gu Zheng knocked them all out one by one.
However, when those black swords are thrown out, they will be superimposed on each other in the air, and when the space in front of Gu Zheng is suddenly empty, those long swords have been densely packed together, forming a strange order.
As the last black sword returned to its place, all the black swords suddenly lit up, and countless black lines appeared around the black sword, linking all the black swords together.
A black flood dragon composed of countless black swords suddenly appeared in the air, but if you look carefully, it's just a patchwork of black swords, and even the outside is sharp.
But in some mysterious power, now it seems like a whole, and it quickly rushed towards Gu Zheng.
"clang"
Gu Zheng quickly dodged sideways, dodged the opponent's surprise attack, and slashed at the opponent's side with a sword, making a loud noise.
Even Gu Zheng felt his wrists trembling.
Originally, he wanted to pick out half of the black swords, but found that each of the black swords had been integrated with the black flood dragon. If he went up to challenge him, he would be facing the whole opponent.
Here, the dragon sped up and was suspended in the air again. The mouth made of long swords kept opening and closing, and the eyes surrounded by several black swords stared at him firmly.
Gu Zheng looked around from the corner of his eye, except for sporadic black mist, the Soul-devouring Beast was no longer visible in the entire sky.
The next moment, its figure rushed out again.
