Chapter 1075
"Come on, come on, everyone, let me introduce you to a new friend. By the way, what's your name?" Wu Xiaofeng smiled cheerfully at first, but in the end he was embarrassed to find that he still didn't know Gu Zheng's name until now.
"Gu Zheng." Gu Zheng said coldly at this time, and the anger in his heart has not completely dissipated yet.
"Yes, yes, Gu Zheng, let's get to know each other." Wu Xiaofeng laughed and slapped Gu Zheng on the shoulder with a familiar hand. The huge force almost staggered Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's face revealed a bitter smile, it really hurt.
Six Monkeys and the other five looked at each other in confusion. They were fighting for life and death a moment ago, but now they have become teammates in the same trench with themselves. For a moment, they did not answer the conversation, and the atmosphere became cold.
In the end, Situ stood out as the only female Situ.
"Um, hello, fellow Taoist Gu, I'm Situ Liu Ying." Although he was very embarrassed, he finished his sentence at least.
"Hello." Gu Zheng greeted them openly and openly, without the arrogance as expected. Perhaps it was the harmless smile. Everyone put down their guard and introduced themselves to Gu Zheng one after another.
"Third A, Lu Ren"
"Wuding, Zhang Shaohua"
"Two tigers, tiger head"
"Liu Monkey, He Ran, but you can just call me Liu Monkey. Everyone calls me that every time anyway." Liu Monkey said with enthusiasm.
The others had just been defeated by Gu Zheng and were not in the mood to be enthusiastic. Only Liuhou didn't think so much. Having a strong teammate was the best thing for him.
"Since we all know each other, that's the best. Isn't it true that we don't know each other without fighting?" Wu Xiaofeng started to laugh, as if everything had passed.
Gu Zheng calmly took Wu Xiaofeng's hand from his shoulder and looked at the four people on the opposite side with unclear injuries. It seemed that the battle just now affected them, and now it looked more serious.
After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng took out a bottle of elixir and handed it over. The fragrance of the medicine could be smelled through the mouth of the bottle. After taking a sip, it seemed that the injury was much better.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Wu Xiaofeng stuffed them into his arms without any courtesy, "They are not seriously injured. They need to be nursed for a few more days. Don't waste it."
Maybe everyone except Gu Zheng knew the value of this bottle of elixir, and even Wu Xiaofeng couldn't refuse it.
Seeing their desire and a hint of indescribable embarrassment, Wu Xiaofeng took it back for them.
It seemed to have some effect. Gu Zheng felt that everyone looked at him kindly.
"There's me, there's me." Xiaochong was a little anxious when he saw that Gu Zheng didn't introduce himself, and immediately started making trouble on the spot.
"Is this your pet?" Wu Xiaofeng was very curious as to why Gu Zheng would rather get hurt than give up guarding this little bug.
"Who is his pet? I am Xiaonan's friend. I belong to Xiaonan." Xiaochong protested angrily and loudly. No matter where he is, he belongs to Xiaonan.
"Her name is Xiaochong, she belongs to a friend of mine." Gu Zheng racked his brains and couldn't figure out what to say, so he simply introduced her.
The others said hello to Xiaochong in turn, which was considered a face to Gu Zheng and the bottle of elixir.
Xiao Chong, who didn't know it was Gu Zheng who asked everyone to pay attention to him, did somersaults happily. He hadn't met so many friends in a long time.
"Everyone, let's go. Don't stay here." Although no one would come here, Wu Xiaofeng directly suggested leaving here.
Gu Zheng followed them into the forest on the opposite side and started heading south at a certain distance from the main road.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, did you really just come in from outside?" Gu Zheng and Wu Xiaofeng deliberately walked at the front. Wu Xiaofeng pointed to the sky and asked. Although he had asked the question before, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Well, it's been about a few months." Although there is no sunrise or sunset here, and the eyes are always hanging in the sky, I can still know in my heart.
"Fellow Taoist Gu is really lucky. If he appears here, if he appears there, with the strength of fellow Taoist Gu, there may be nothing wrong there." Wu Xiaofeng thought about how powerful Gu Zheng was.
Seeing such a rough and arrogant old man calling him politely and courteously, Gu Zheng felt a sense of disobedience in his heart, so he simply said directly, "You better not call me fellow Taoist Gu, I look older than me." , just call me by my name.”
When Wu Xiaofeng heard this, he slapped Gu Zheng on the shoulder hard, "I feel very awkward too, brother, you better understand me." Wu Xiaofeng came down directly along the pole.
That slap again made Gu Zheng grin, and a chuckle came from behind. Apparently, he saw that Gu Zheng was treated as he had been.
Xiaochong was left behind to chat with her new friends.
Wu Xiaofeng's eyes narrowed, "Why are you laughing? It seems you haven't trained enough. Let's go back and train harder." After that, he turned to Gu Zheng and apologized, "Sometimes I can't control myself when I get excited. Don't mind me."
There was a burst of wailing from the back, and he looked helpless. It seemed that training was indeed a very painful thing.
But it seems that the relationship between their teams is quite harmonious.
Gu Zheng still twitched the corner of his mouth, it was best to stay away from you. The spare slap would make people miserable, so Gu Zheng kept his expression and stayed away from Wu Xiaofeng.
But then, Wu Xiaofeng really controlled himself and did not let Gu Zheng experience that feeling.
But now Gu Zheng really has a lot of questions to ask. Sister Xiong only gave him a general introduction and then threw him down. There are still many things he doesn't understand. It's a good opportunity to ask.
"Brother, how many years have you been here? I don't know anything about this place. Where is this place?" Gu Zheng pretended to be ignorant and asked.
"Brother, you have asked the right person. Although I came in quite late, I still know more about it. After all, I have been here for a thousand years."
Wu Xiaofeng laughed heartily, and Gu Zheng could still see the sadness hidden in his eyes.
Gu Zheng didn't expose it. Everyone has their own secrets, so there is no need to ask.
As Wu Xiaofeng explained, Gu Zheng slowly completed his questions and had a general understanding of this place.
There are roughly three areas here. One is in the south direction where the Shura people are located. The only exit and entrance is there.
And the environment there is no different from the outside. It is a plain with birds singing and flowers blooming. There are all kinds of free-range small animals and clear streams. It is simply a holy place for everyone here.
Near the exit, there is a high tower with two Daluo peaks stationed there all year round. They will never leave unless something major happens, as if they are guarding something.
All the trialists of the Shura clan basically gather there to rest. It is like a quiet town, which concentrates all the functions of a town, beautiful and harmonious, but no one is allowed to enter except the Shura clan.
All those who stray into it will be killed without mercy. There are patrols and barrier detections there. I don’t know how many abandoned people who want to sneak in and those unattended puppets have been killed.
This world has a range. Because of the correction of the Shura boss, all the edges are connected to the city. The mountains are towering into the sky. It is impossible to cross them without exceeding his strength, because the taboos above are enough to kill all creatures who want to cross them.
Everyone here knows this taboo.
The lowest living cultivation here is the immortal, and there are very few. Most of them are in the early and middle stages of the Golden Immortal, and a small number of late Golden Immortals. As for the peak figures like Wu Xiaofeng, there are only a few.
Gu Zheng still remembers the pride on Wu Xiaofeng's face when he said that, because he also belongs to the high-end forces here.
The second place is the place prepared by Shura for the monsters controlled by Shura, the transformed humans, and some surrendered humans, in the easternmost position.
The east is the place with the thickest evil spirits, and in some places there are even substantial blood-colored mists wandering back and forth in the air.
Such a strong evil spirit makes this place very chaotic. Some puppet monsters riot from time to time, and some Shura people who have finished resting stop here. There are a large number of different monsters for Shura people to test.
You must know that these puppet monsters are wild beasts when they are not controlled. In addition to not being hungry, they will also follow their instincts, such as the concept of territory, such as birds like to rest on big trees.
If you rashly step into the territory of a monster, it is very likely to come up and fight you.
There is also a town here, called Puppet Town, which was built by those surrendered humans and monsters. The Shura people don't mind it. After all, they are all their slaves. Someone manages these messy things, and they are happy.
Anyway, these slaves can't think of resisting from the bottom of their hearts, and they can't even die together. The Shura people are relaxed.
Most of the Shura people who come to the trial will be here, because when competing with those monsters, they can order them to stop even if they encounter danger. If they encounter something that they can't avoid, such as some venom or attacks that are about to get close, they can't stop it in time.
The ring on the wrist can provide short teleportation to avoid danger as long as the mind moves, but it takes seven days to recharge after one use. This thing automatically absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish itself.
This is also to ensure the safety of those who come to the trial. This thing is very precious. The amount produced each year is small, and only the strong in the tribe can get it. However, every year there are crazy people who die because of deliberately training that feeling of life and death.
The ring will disappear directly after death, because it is directly bound, and no one can take it away unless the person who binds it agrees.
No one cares about the dead Shura people. They really do everything to pursue strength.
What's more, there are some ordinary Shura people. In the Shura tribe, the trial ground is prepared for real warriors. It is used for life and death training and breaking through the existing realm. It is the fastest and most dangerous.
Every year, many Shura people come back from the prehistoric experience and come here to seek a breakthrough. Even if they can't break through, the environment here has a natural bonus for Shura and can enhance a lot of cultivation.
The third place is these people who call themselves abandoned. They are in the west because the evil spirit there is the lowest, which may minimize the conversion time.
There is also a magical green liquid that can remove the accumulated evil spirit in the body, but the amount is very small, and it is distributed according to needs and contributions.
And occasionally some powerful Shura people will lurk here, destroy, assassinate, and use all kinds of tricks to destroy the ring camp.
It's just that most Shuras are solitary and have limited destructive power.
The most special place is the middle forest, where most of the humans and monsters captured from outside are scattered, and there are many bloodthirsty Shuras wandering around, and there are more hunters who capture those humans and monsters that are alone.
Before, Gu Zheng was also wondering why he didn't see anyone. It turned out that his original location was a bit in the middle. Even if Shura saw him, he still had the aura of his own people. He might as well just leave. Shura prefers to be alone anyway.
This is to practice, not to search for treasures. What's the point of a few people gathering together?
And Wu Xiaofeng's mission is to bring out people and monsters that have not been completely transformed from the central forest to enhance their own strength.
Not to mention persuading those people and monsters, they also have to resist those wandering Shuras. They like to slaughter such teams the most. If they are not strong enough, they are easily ambushed.
If Wu Xiaofeng's strength was not strong enough, he would also lose a few people. You know, there are only six people in their team.
No wonder they respect Wu Xiaofeng so much. A strong captain can really protect his men.
And generally, they can only stay in there for half a year at most, otherwise the erosion of evil spirits will settle in the body and cannot be removed. If too much accumulation occurs, they will be forced to transform into puppets and find mountains to continue to transform their minds.
Gu Zheng asked how big the forest in the middle was, and Wu Xiaofeng said that he would have to run at full speed for two months to get through it.
Gu Zheng smacked his lips. It was so big, and the terrain was too repetitive. If you were not careful, you could get lost in it.
No wonder he said that most of the people there were on the edge and didn't dare to go deep in.
After Wu Xiaofeng finished speaking, Gu Zheng roughly outlined the map of this place in his mind.
At the end of the northernmost side was a mountain range, which was a dead end.
The southernmost side was where the town of Shura was located. There were two roads. One led to the west, where Wu Xiaofeng's camp was located, and there were basically few Shura.
The other was to the town of the surrendered humans. Wu Xiaofeng and his team wanted to go there. There were only two ways, one across the central forest, and the second was to transfer to the town of Shura.
In Gu Zheng's opinion, only the first one was reliable, and the second one was simply a dead end. Behind it was the base camp of Shura, and who would dare to make a rash move?
Just like that, they ran back all the way. Their mission had been completed. They only brought back one Gu Zheng, a strong team member, who was comparable to a dozen weak ones. This time, his contribution must be great.
In the forest to the west, there were basically no peaks, mostly trees. After Wu Xiaofeng's constant explanation, Gu Zheng and his team reached a valley a few days later.
On the outskirts of the valley, Wu Xiaofeng ordered his team members to disperse, and he led Gu Zheng to enter the valley.
Liu Hou and his team did not obey the order to disperse, but formed a circle, looking at Wu Xiaofeng eagerly.
"Don't worry, I will come to you in person later, and you will be indispensable." Wu Xiaofeng laughed and scolded.
They dispersed happily, and Gu Zheng found that there were many people around who looked at them with envy.
He led Gu Zheng into the valley. Anyway, he had already arrived at his place, so there was no rush. Gu Zheng and Wu Xiaofeng walked in slowly.
There are some stone houses scattered around the valley, and many people are scattered around. Their faces are full of numbness, like a decayed corpse, sitting there motionless, as if they have lost hope, but more people are seizing the time to practice.
There are about 200 people scattered around, which is really a lot of people. Excluding those who have gone out and those who can't be seen by himself, doesn't it mean that there are nearly 500 people here, which is beyond Gu Zheng's expectation. There are only 300 people at most, and it is still the best case.
There are continuous explosions in the distance, it seems that something happened.
Although Gu Zheng is not disturbed by the corrosive spiritual energy, the content of evil spirit here is really very low. Compared with the central forest, you almost choke when you take a breath of air. You can't smell the fishy smell hidden in it here.
Gu Zheng was very curious about why those people looked so depressed. He pointed at them and asked in confusion, "What happened to those people?"
Wu Xiaofeng looked in the direction of Gu Zheng's finger, and couldn't help but sigh, with a look of sadness on his face, "Look carefully, aren't most of those people's cultivation at the level of celestial immortals? Because the defense war that happens once every five hundred years has come, they feel hopeless, so they are so disappointed."
Gu Zheng looked carefully and found that most of the masters with depressed expressions were indeed celestial immortals in the early and middle stages.
Luckily, he had learned the spell that Xiao Chong gave him halfway and successfully concealed the aura of the Shura side on his body. Otherwise, he would be like a wolf entering a tiger's den and looking for death here.
If those people rushed forward, he would be drowned in the vast ocean in an instant.
A casual glance would also show a hundred or so golden immortals in his eyes. The mainstream of survival here is golden immortals.
As the two talked, they had already arrived at the entrance of the valley.
"Hello, General Wu." The two soldiers guarding the valley stepped forward and said, looking at Wu Xiaofeng with admiration.
"Are Elder Li and the others here? I have something to talk to them about." Wu Xiaofeng said casually.
"Yes, please." The guard opened the barrier at the entrance of the valley.
"This is to protect the green liquid in the valley. We have to do this." Wu Xiaofeng explained to Gu Zheng casually.
Although I don't know what the green liquid Wu Xiaofeng is talking about, it can be seen from the degree of protection that it is very precious.
Entering the valley, Gu Zheng found a little bit of green, many messy green grasses scattered in a messy manner. Although they all looked listless, at least it was the only green Gu Zheng had seen so far.
Since the destination was still a little distance away, Wu Xiaofeng simply continued the unfinished topic.
In fact, everyone understood it, but they had to face it.
