Chapter 1077
"What are you doing here if you don't go on patrol? Do you want to fight? I'll keep you company." Wu Xiaofeng walked up to him and said in a very unhappy tone.
"Yoyo, General Wu, don't scare me. How dare I compete with you? I just chased away another troublemaker. I took my brothers back to rest and happened to pass by here." Hua Long still spoke irrelevantly.
"That's the best. Goodbye." Wu Xiaofeng said coldly.
"Let's go, brothers, don't disturb General Wu. When we get to the trade fair, I will replenish supplies for everyone and try to keep everyone alive in this holy war." Hua Long called out to the brothers behind him.
Hua Long looked at the opposite side with a somewhat chaotic breath, and his eyes turned, "I don't know how many of you can survive this time. It's really sad." Hua Long saw Gu Zheng standing behind him. At this time, Gu Zheng looked like a middle-stage golden fairy, not strong or weak, and very inconspicuous.
"This brother looks a bit unfamiliar. You are new here, right? Come and follow me. What future do you have following this old man? You might die outside. It is better to patrol the valley with me. It is much safer." Hua Long laughed.
"No need." Gu Zheng refused directly.
Hua Long did not care. He must disgust the other side. Hua Long walked past in a happy mood.
The members of Hua Long's team also provoked Liu Hou and others when they passed by.
If Wu Xiaofeng had not stopped Liu Hou and others, they would have rushed up to fight.
Wu Xiaofeng looked at them away with an unhappy face.
Liu Hou said with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, captain, I held us back."
Among them, his cultivation level was the lowest. The members of Hua Long's team were at least in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, and they were still quite powerful.
"It doesn't matter. You are more useful than them." Wu Xiaofeng comforted him on the side.
Indeed, in this place where all spiritual consciousness is suppressed, a person who specializes in investigation and concealment is indeed much more useful than outside.
Everyone also comforted Liu Hou and told him not to think too much.
"He is not friendly to you." Gu Zheng spoke only after the Hualong team went far away.
"That was when I just came here and I had an unpleasant experience with this guy. It's been hundreds of years of grudges, but this guy's strength is not inferior to mine." Wu Xiaofeng didn't talk about what he said that year, which made the two strongest people become enemies as usual. Wu Xiaofeng didn't want to explain, so he avoided the topic.
After changing the topic, everyone started talking about the thrilling parts of the previous battle, and Gu Zheng listened with relish.
Gradually, Gu Zheng and the others forgot about the unpleasantness just now, and Wu Xiu didn't know where to get some top-quality tea for everyone to taste.
Gu Zheng talked with them all day until the evening and they dispersed and went to rest. There is no concept of night here, just follow the time in your heart.
After one night, Gu Zheng left Wu Xiaofeng's station and planned to get familiar with the surrounding environment.
You have to know that members like me who are brought back must obey the assignment. Generally, they are assigned to non-combat positions first, and then assigned according to their abilities after they are familiar with them.
Personnel with strong combat power are assigned first, and they belong to the team formed by the abandoned land.
Each team has six people, and each team has a captain. If a team member is injured, they either wait for the superior to assign them, or recruit talents on their own.
Wu Xiaofeng and his team belong to the 27th team, which is responsible for bringing in new people from outside, and the six monkeys are added when there are vacancies.
Hualong is responsible for daily patrols around and timely support for nearby personnel.
The official team has a total of 50 teams, but now it seems that there are less than 200 people in total, because they have to complete the assigned tasks, and the loss rate is not low, so many people are unwilling to join.
If you don't want to join, you won't get the extra green liquid given by the official, you can only stay near the valley, lead the minimum guarantee of green liquid, and usually be alert to nearby infiltrations. Enemies, but now there is a war nearby, and now basically no more.
Gu Zheng walked around the valley and found that it was actually quite large. All the members gathered around the valley to rest.
This is because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth near the valley will be further filtered, especially at the valley mouth, which is the closest to no pollution.
Gu Zheng finally came to the outside of the valley. There was no difference here from yesterday. Everyone was still doing what they should do.
"Boy, that's you, don't turn your head." A familiar voice came.
Gu Zheng looked back and saw that it was Hua Long from that day. He stood in front of Gu Zheng with his arms folded, looking at him provocatively.
His team members formed a circle and surrounded Gu Zheng in the middle. People nearby pretended not to see him, and some timid people even left here.
Gu Zheng frowned. There are such people everywhere. Their cleverness really makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Why, you are unhappy? Come and hit me. Don't worry, I will never resist." A team member under Hua Long tried to provoke Gu Zheng and said with a smile.
You have to know that violence is not allowed here, and Longhua's team has the power to enforce the law. If they dare to resist and alarm the elders, then the elders will personally take down the resisters.
Gu Zheng also knew this, and of course he would not be fooled. He stood still and looked at them coldly, watching what tricks they were trying to play.
Hua Long saw that Gu Zheng refused to follow this trick, his expression remained unchanged, and he didn't take it seriously. He put down his arms and said with a proud tone, "I say, kid, be smart and don't get close to people you shouldn't be close to, otherwise there will be too many people in this world." There are so many accidents, it would be a pity if you get injured or break your arm or something like that.”
Hualong directly threatened Gu Zheng, and Hualong's method has been tried and tested. If you don't care, just take the opportunity to beat him outside a few more times. If you don't accept it, you will win.
Relying on his own force, he rarely misses. Except for a few people in Wu Xiaofeng's team, most of them "understand" the truth.
Those few can take refuge in Wu Xiaofeng's official team, but now there is no place in Wu Xiaofeng's team. It depends on what you do.
Gu Zheng looked at them indifferently without saying a word.
One of the team members looked at Gu Zheng pretending to be dead and arrogant, and said disdainfully, "You are a mid-stage Golden Immortal, you can do whatever you want, you will regret it." He even wanted to massage Gu Zheng.
"Hey, stop, we are civilized, you have to be polite first, do you understand?" Hualong stopped his men's actions, not leaving any clues to others.
"Think about it carefully. If you're interested, I can put you in the patrol team. You have to know that everyone can't get in even if they squeeze their heads."
Hualong talked empty words to Gu Zheng, and used his left hand to approach Gu Zheng's collar, flicking the non-existent dust into the air, threatening Gu Zheng.
"Let's figure it out. You don't need to answer now, but my patience is limited." After saying that, Hualong laughed and left here with his team.
Gu Zheng shook his head and did not listen to those words. He was not afraid of them alone.
Gu Zheng actually has a token in his hand that can be used to form a team. It stands to reason that he can form a team including his own six people. He can apply for it or recruit himself.
A small team of six people is the best lineup here. It will not attract more enemies, nor will it be too small to be able to fight against the opponent.
But Gu Zheng doesn't want to form it now, and he has to wait for a while if he wants to form it. Anyway, he has no need for green liquid, and he doesn't need teammates.
Nowadays, most people are working hard to adjust their condition. At the earliest, they will not have such leisurely time for two months, and as late as half a year. If this hurdle is passed, there will be another five hundred years to breathe.
Many people here have calm faces and are not nervous about the upcoming war. After all, at this level, they all know that escaping cannot solve the problem. Only by bravely rushing through can we face the future.
This time will come in a blink of an eye for everyone. If you have time to complain, it is better to continue to adjust your state.
Gu Zheng also found a place to stay here with peace of mind. He already had a plan in mind, and he was very confident that he could rush out if possible.
In the past month, there have been returning teams every day, as well as scattered newcomers or monsters being brought back. Everyone began to feel tense, and there was a feeling that a storm was about to come.
Gu Zheng occasionally visited Wu Xiaofeng's residence, chatted and laughed with them, and sometimes discussed and learned from each other. However, Gu Zheng discovered that Wu Xiaofeng turned out to be a maniac about doting on his younger sisters.
In fact, his sister's fighting ability is basically zero. He forcefully fed her with pills. Who told her that her sister was an ordinary person when she came in? In order to protect his only sister, this big man asked to come in. Did he still care about it? Dangerous logistics.
His sister was very nice, but a little shy. Every time Gu Zheng went there, she would secretly bring out some good things to entertain him, which made Wu Xiaofeng hope that Gu Zheng would go to their place every day, knowing that they couldn't usually see him. these things.
On this day, Gu Zheng was walking around in front of the valley as usual. When he was about to go back, Wu Xiaofeng hurried over and his eyes lit up when he saw Gu Zheng who was about to leave. "Brother, you should put the six monkeys back," said After seven days, this is the eighth day.”
Gu Zheng was so confused that he said, "What seven days, eight days? What happened to the monkey and I have to put it back?"
Wu Xiaofeng looked at Gu Zheng's face and asked, "You didn't ask for special training for the monkey. You specifically asked him to go to your place seven days ago."
"I've been alone these days. I haven't seen Liu Monkey. What's wrong with Liu Monkey?"
Although Liuhou said he wanted to learn from him when he was there, and he agreed, the key thing is that he didn't come either.
Wu Xiaofeng was dumbfounded now. He had always thought that Liuhou was at Gu Zheng's place. Before, Liuhou had definitely told himself that he must impress everyone when he came back.
Unexpectedly, everything he told before was all lies. He didn't go to Gu Zheng at all. This was really beyond Wu Xiaofeng's expectation.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zheng asked. It seemed that the six monkeys were missing.
"This is bad, so where can he go?" Wu Xiaofeng was very concerned about his subordinates, "Six Monkeys disappeared. The last time I saw him was eight days ago. At that time, he said he was going to your place for training."
Gu Zheng saw Wu Xiaofeng running around anxiously and suggested, "Otherwise, let's go look for it."
"I was thinking too, when did this happen? He disappeared, but I don't know where he went." Wu Xiaofeng looked helpless.
"How about we go back and ask a few of them to see if there are any clues." Gu Zheng continued, and the Six Monkeys themselves were quite impressed.
That guy is a monkey spirit. His body is a monkey. He speaks in a frivolous way, which makes people feel uneasy. But when he enters the combat state, he is just like a different person. All the previous shortcomings have disappeared. He is worthy of everyone's trust.
"Okay, let's go back and ask." Gu Zheng and Wu Xiaofeng returned to the base, and a group of people were waiting for Liu Hou.
"Captain, where is the monkey?" Si Tu had the deepest feelings for Liu Hou. Seeing that Gu Zheng did not see Liu Hou behind him, she asked anxiously. With a woman's sixth sense, she felt that something was wrong.
"Liu Hou is missing. It is estimated that he left when he said he was going to Gu Zheng eight days ago. Think about where Liu Hou could go."
"I don't believe Liu Hou will flee from the battlefield. He often said that he would persist in this battle again and asked us to continue fighting." Si Tu said loudly.
Others have not yet reacted to the news of Liu Hou's disappearance. He was fine normally, so how could he disappear just like that?
"He is indeed gone, otherwise where would he go." Wu Xiaofeng looked helpless. These people were his brothers who had known each other for life and death, and he couldn't bear to lose one of them.
"He is not going to the edge." Erhu, who had been silent all the time, said loudly. Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Erhu touched his head embarrassedly, "I heard him talking in his sleep once when he was sleeping, saying something about the edge. I thought he probably went there."
"Where is the edge? Who knows." Everyone looked at each other. This was the first time they had heard of this place.
"Is it to the west of us? The mountains there are the edge for us." A voice as soft as a mosquito came from the side. Everyone looked for the voice and found that it was Wu Xiu. With so many people looking at him, Wu Xiu's face flushed.
"How can you be sure? Did you hear Liu Hou say that?" Wu Xiaofeng asked anxiously.
"No, no." Wu Xiu waved her hands hurriedly, "Because Liu Hou would often look over there in the tree, often in a daze unconsciously, especially in the past few decades."
Usually, Liu Hou likes to stay in the tree, which is normal, but who would pay attention to what Liu Hou is looking at? It's really possible after hearing what she said.
Wu Xiaofeng made a prompt decision and immediately ordered, "You guys take a good rest here, I'll go and see."
"We'll go too." The members of the other teams said in unison. Gu Zheng looked at them and thought they were really a team that could live and die together.
"Bullshit, don't you know what time it is? Don't make trouble, stay here, do you hear me?" Wu Xiaofeng said anxiously.
"Brother Wu, I'll go with you too." Gu Zheng interrupted. For some reason, when he heard the edge, Gu Zheng's blood was a little floating, as if something over there was attracting him.
"Did you hear that? I have my brother with me. You can rest assured now." Wu Xiaofeng was relieved. Anyone who has seen Gu Zheng's fighting ability would feel relieved.
"Yes, I will go with my brother. It is easier to move with fewer people. Don't worry." Gu Zheng took the little bug out of his ear and came out of the valley hall. The little bug became drowsy. Gu Zheng also checked it carefully and found that there was no problem. There was a layer of mysterious power around the little bug. Gu Zheng even suspected that the little bug was about to cocoon again.
"This is the little bug. Everyone knows that it seems to be sleeping now. I can't figure it out. I definitely can't take her with me this time. I entrust you to take care of the little bug." Gu Zheng carefully put the little bug in his palm and handed it over.
As the only female, Situ took it over. In terms of being careful, Situ was the most meticulous. "I will take good care of her, and I'll leave Liuhou to you."
"Well, my brother and I will set off first. The earlier we set off, the earlier we can find Liuhou." Gu Zheng said to everyone.
Everyone also knew the preciousness of time, and didn't say anything. They watched Wu Xiaofeng and Gu Zheng set off to the westernmost direction.
There were relatively few forests on both sides. If Gu Zheng ran at full speed out of the valley, it would take about ten days. Considering that Wu Xiaofeng couldn't keep running at full speed, it would take twelve days or even longer to reach the destination, and Liuhou would take eighteen days at the earliest. If he was faster, he might be able to intercept Liuhou there.
After leaving the valley completely, Gu Zheng and his team inevitably slowed down.
"Can you find his traces on the way?" Gu Zheng asked Wu Xiaofeng while running fast.
"No, he is so cautious. If he really doesn't want us to find him, I really can't find any clues." Wu Xiaofeng shook his head.
Next, Gu Zheng and his team tried to find some clues while running towards the westernmost part. Wu Xiu only gave them an approximate direction, so they had to check it bit by bit. On the way, Wu Xiaofeng had to take out the green ball every few days to look at it.
Wu Xiaofeng explained that if a war was to start, all the captains would have to give up their tasks in the first month and rush back with all their strength, because by then the Shura army would have arrived.
Fortunately, when Gu Zheng reached the bottom of the mountain range, the green ball did not shine. Unfortunately, he really didn't find the total number of the six monkeys along the way.
In this way, Gu Zheng had to search from one place to the edge bit by bit. Without further ado, Gu Zheng and Wu Xiaofeng searched along the established route from south to north.
It was not a straight line when it came, but a slight angle, so it would be at the farthest suspected place. This would increase the chance of finding the six monkeys. Wu Xiaofeng did not think about what would happen if he failed. Now he wanted to bring the six monkeys back and let him know that everyone missed him. He hoped that he would not do anything stupid.
This mountain range was endless at a glance. It was said that except for the exit, all other peaks were like this, blocking all the roads. No one knew what was outside.
