Chapter 1136
The bird's body was a little bloated, and its speed slowed down a bit. It felt like it was reaching its limit.
The phantom outside was also trembling all over. He was also almost at his limit and was just trying to maintain it.
Although the black flames began to flicker, and the cold breath contained in them became increasingly scarce, there were still so many of them, as if there was no end in sight, which made people despair. They didn't know how many black flames were left behind.
After the bird made a quick remedy, a black flame that had escaped was eaten by itself again. The little bird no longer had the initial pride in its eyes. Although it was very powerful, it was just a small phantom now.
After eating so much black flame, it was not delicious at all. I just felt nausea in my heart.
I instinctively didn't let the black flame fall on the man next to me, for fear that he would be hurt. I stopped at his arm for a while, looking at the distance. There were still many black flames, still rushing over.
Fortunately, the other party's speed also slowed down, otherwise I would have been unable to hold on.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a red ring in the corner of his eyes, which gave him a familiar feeling. He subconsciously jumped over and rubbed his head against it.
Suddenly, a ball of blazing flames came out of the ring and burned the bird, as if a hidden function was activated, and the unconscious Gu Zheng vomited blood again.
Next, the ring fell off Gu Zheng's arm by itself, and then shrank rapidly and was directly put on the head of the little bird.
The little bird did not feel anything, but felt a stream of warm energy all over the body, wandering back and forth in the body, removing all the coldness in the body, and felt more energetic.
"Huh." The little bird spit out a spark from its mouth. At first, it was only as big as a grain of rice, and the spark turned into a raging fire. Some of the whitish flames burned directly at the black flames. The little bird turned lightly in a circle, and basically all the black flames around were swept away, with only a few sporadic ones remaining.
The black shadow in the distance suddenly exhaled a breath of black air, and the figure became even darker. Seeing that the opponent's divine bird was still flying back and forth in a show of force, destroying all the remaining black flames, the grayness of his face became more obvious.
"It seems that the opponent is really not simple. Man's plan is not as good as God's plan." The figure dragged his body and floated towards the hall.
When waiting for all the black flames around him to disappear, the little divine bird looked around with unsatisfied intention, as if he wanted to find another enemy to continue fighting.
After wearing the Li Ring, he felt that the energy in his body was endless, and he just wanted to vent it.
But now the surroundings are all gray, and there is nothing moving. The disappointed little divine bird looked at the even smaller Li Ring on his head, and called a few times softly, as if to thank him.
It turned into a red light and rushed into the ball on Gu Zheng's waist. The ball returned to its previous appearance and stopped moving. Only the mini Li Ring was left, floating in the air.
"Buzz"
The ring trembled back and forth in the sky for a few times, and then became larger again, returning to Gu Zheng's hand. On Gu Zheng's right wrist, the red line on it had faded and could not be seen.
In the cave above, Pan Xuan stood up unconsciously after seeing so many black flames suddenly emerge from the hall, covered her mouth with her small hands, and looked up in surprise.
The black flames looked so powerful that even the air seemed to be quiet at the first moment of the outbreak.
Now the black flames that were splashed out have been burning fiercely inside and outside the hall. There was no sound of fighting inside, and everything was quiet.
"Where are they?" This was the question that emerged in everyone's mind. After waiting for a long time, it was still the same, and no one came out.
"Will they die together?" Some people couldn't help but flash this thought in their hearts.
At this time, a Shura volunteered to step forward to inquire about the news.
He first quickly came to the bottom of the steps, feeling the cold air coming from above. A breeze blew past, and he shivered all over his body, feeling that his mind was about to freeze.
Seeing such a powerful force above, he did not dare to move forward, for fear that he would also be killed.
"Senior Gu, can you hear me?" He shouted loudly below, making sure that his voice could reach the top.
After waiting for a while, he concentrated on feeling above, but no sound came.
He continued to shout a few more times, and found that there was still no response from above. He did not hesitate and took out a short wooden stick covered with layers of ice, which seemed to be an ice magic weapon.
He carefully controlled his magic weapon, immersed a little of his consciousness into it, and came to the top. From the perspective of the magic weapon, he saw that there were messy black flames everywhere, but he could not feel any temperature.
The entire door was almost completely covered by black flames, leaving only a tiny gap. Through this tiny gap, he did not find anything. It was basically burning with black flames, blocking his sight, so he decided to take the risk of passing through this gap.
He carefully controlled the magic weapon and was about to pass by the door. Suddenly, he felt that the connection between him and the magic weapon became obscure and difficult to control. Something was interfering with his consciousness.
The stick-shaped magic weapon was affected by this and fell lightly, just rubbing a little black flame. As a result, the black flame suddenly burned more vigorously and surrounded the magic weapon.
He felt a cold breath, along with the consciousness left in the magic weapon, rushing towards him, and scared himself to cut off his consciousness, even if it was a little loss.
He had just cut off his consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a black flame flying towards him along the connection of his consciousness. After he cut off his consciousness, he seemed unable to distinguish the direction, and helplessly fell from the sky to the steps. In just a few seconds, the black flame had flown half the distance.
He was scared and hurried back to the crowd.
The people around him saw him coming back and not going up, and asked what happened. He told them everything he knew.
He did not find anything unusual, and did not find the two of them through the gap. There was only this kind of black flame inside.
During the delivery process, the strangeness of the black flame was particularly emphasized.
Everyone also saw a black flame flying out of it by itself, and then they realized that it was too strange to lock the enemy along the consciousness.
"I don't believe that the two of them will die together. It must be that he is up there, encountering something, waiting for us to rescue him." Pan Xuan looked unconvinced. Although most of his guesses were reasonable, he still felt that he was still alive, just trapped inside and did not come out.
Pan Xuan walked towards the steps by herself, determined to see for herself. Everyone looked at each other, and it was difficult to stop her. Knowing that her lover was now unknown, they understood her feelings.
However, the Wu messenger was probably dead, otherwise he had not put away the flames and had not appeared for such a long time. Now everyone was mainly worried about Gu Zheng's life and death.
Although most people thought that the two of them died together, there were still some people who agreed with what Pan Xuan said. Gu Zheng was not dead, but was trapped inside, waiting for their rescue.
Many people who were not injured, and some who were slightly injured, came to the bottom of the steps together to help Pan Xuan find a way to explore the situation inside. Everyone was very grateful to Gu Zheng and was willing to find him and contribute their own strength. If he really needed help, they would never retreat.
The rest of the people took the time to heal their wounds. Now that the enemy was dead and Gu Zheng's life and death were unknown, it seemed that they could not get out for a while. Now they could only wait until the people outside found something wrong and came to rescue them.
There are not many people here now. More than half of them were killed here. This made some people sigh. They didn't expect that in an ordinary trial, the enemy would sneak in and kill so many of their own people. When they return to the top, they don't know how much shock it will cause.
When Gu Zheng opened his eyes, his first reaction was that he was fine. Looking at the hole above, looking from below, he could vaguely find that the black flames were still burning above.
His whole body was full of pain. Gu Zheng felt the state of his body and smiled bitterly. Now the situation in his body was in a mess, the immortal energy was scarce, and the internal injuries were not light. The strength was estimated to have declined seriously. At most, he could only exert the power of a celestial immortal.
Gu Zheng endured the discomfort and fought quickly, observing everything around him. He only remembered falling from above, and then he fainted until he woke up.
The surroundings were all gray, very depressing, and bare. There was a black hall not far ahead, and a black figure behind him.
There was nothing else. Zhou Quan was surrounded by stone walls. It felt like a prison, a place dedicated to imprisoning people.
Gu Zheng felt that the person next to him looked familiar, and this feeling became more obvious as he approached.
But now the figure seemed to be burned into charcoal, dry and flat, even the clothes melted on the body, the whole body could not see the original appearance, and most of the chest had been burned into a big hole.
His eyes kept scanning the man, trying to find something. When Gu Zheng's eyes stopped on his palm, he suddenly found that several of his fingers were broken, as if they were cut off by something.
Could this be the Wu Messenger, Gu Zheng thought in his heart, because he knew that in the previous battle, he saw with his own eyes that he cut off his own fingers and fed his skull.
This vacant position is the same as what he remembered. Could it be that he died here too? It seems that he was burned to death.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng was also relaxed a lot. He found that the other party was dead, at least there was no danger now.
Gu Zheng subconsciously wanted to leave here, but when he looked up at the still burning black flames, he smiled bitterly. He almost died there when he was in Daluo.
In his current state, he could not force his way through. It was estimated that he would be burned to ashes in an instant. He must not be reckless.
He looked at the hall. Perhaps that was where he was imprisoned before. Gu Zheng thought about it and walked over there. He was very curious why the ancestor wanted to trap him here.
This space was not too big, and soon he came to the place that could be called the hall.
The whole hall was about ten feet high, and the whole was dark and shiny. The main entrance of the hall was a semicircular entrance, which was very similar to the corridor of a wealthy family. There was no obstruction inside, but it was a pity that the situation inside was clearly visible.
In the past, there were only tall stone pillars inside, and green light was emitted from nowhere. It looked very eerie and terrifying inside, and there was a ghostly aura. Breezes from nowhere kept blowing from the surface.
Gu Zheng could feel it even when he was standing outside. A chill passed through his body, taking away the little body temperature he had. In a trance, he could hear a strange howl coming from inside, as if ghosts in the underworld were howling.
But there was a stone door near the inside, blocking his sight.
Gu Zheng slowly approached the door, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, a trace of cold air radiated outward, he was a little scared, not knowing what kind of existence was inside the hall, and he was still hesitating.
Finally, Gu Zheng thought that there should be no other danger here, and he had nothing to do outside. Besides, he was also very curious about what was inside the place where the black messenger was imprisoned, maybe he could find some of his leftovers.
One step in, it was like entering another world, the walls were inlaid with night pearls emitting a faint green light, the faint green light shone inside the hall, making it look particularly weird, like a gloomy underworld.
Continuing to walk forward, he didn't find anything else outside, but there was always a black gas lingering on the stone pillar and radiating outward, the color was very light, and it was not easy to detect here.
The closer to the stone pillar, the more you can feel the coldness in the air.
Finally, Gu Zheng went around and came to the stone door, because apart from this, there was nothing else. Perhaps the final secret was inside.
Gu Zheng pushed the stone door open with force. The inside was also green, but darker. The space inside was smaller, with only a few night pearls scattered above.
After he saw the scene clearly, he took a breath and was shocked. On both sides of the small hall, there were two rows of mummies, with dried bones and flesh tightly wrapped around their bodies, and their faces were extremely hideous.
Most of them looked painful, and some looked like they were struggling. Who made them like this and put them here, as if they wanted them to be tortured in life and death.
In the front, there was a high platform with a green crystal on it, flashing.
Gu Zheng tightened his mind, felt that there was no dangerous atmosphere, and walked forward slowly. He felt even colder inside. Gu Zheng unconsciously covered his body with fairy spirit, and then he felt a little better.
Looking at the weird mummies on both sides, with ferocious expressions on their faces, he felt like he had come to the Netherworld.
Soon Gu Zheng came to the platform he had seen before. A small staircase led to the top. When he was about to go up to take a look, a sigh suddenly came from nearby.
"Who's there? Don't hide in the dark." Gu Zheng subconsciously shouted and looked back at the stone door behind him. He found that it was still open and did not close with the sound.
A figure appeared from behind the crystal on the platform and looked at him like that.
A very handsome stranger, with a handsome face with clear edges, flying sword eyebrows, and a straight nose, he was indeed a handsome man.
"Did you forget me so quickly?" A strange voice came from him at last, as if he was very familiar with Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked at him with wide eyes. He was sure that it was the first time he saw him. How could he say that he forgot him.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Zheng took out the judge's pen and alerted it.
He just realized that the only person who appeared here and knew him was Envoy Wu, but he was already dead, so why did he appear here?
Envoy Wu looked at Gu Zheng's alert look, and felt that the other party would attack him in the next second, but he didn't say anything, just staring at him, anyway, he would die sooner or later.
Gu Zheng looked up and was a little surprised. Why didn't the other party attack? He and he were mortal enemies, but he relaxed his whole body and looked ready to die.
He subconsciously detected the other party's state and found that the other party was only in the state of soul, and the breath on his body was particularly unstable, and it felt like it would dissipate at any time.
After a closer look, a very weak green line was connected to his body and the green crystal behind him. If there was no support from the crystal behind, he would have been unable to hold on.
Gu Zheng finally solved the doubts in his heart. The other party was so weak that anyone could beat him to death.
This was his original appearance, and the outside was just his borrowed body.
The Judge's Pen has a natural restraint on the other party's spirit, and can exert 200% of its power.
"Who are you, and why do you want to go against the Shura people?" Gu Zheng did not put down the Judge's Pen in his hand. He was very curious about why he was imprisoned here.
The Wu Envoy was moved, looking at Gu Zheng's face, and after a while he slowly told him.
"I didn't expect you to be interested in my affairs. Anyway, I'm going to die, so it doesn't matter if I tell you, as long as you have the patience to listen to my nagging.
"I was imprisoned here, and the culprit is that damned ancestor." The Wu Envoy's tone was full of anger.
Gu Zheng pricked up his ears and carefully distinguished the truth from the falsehood in his words.
The Wu Envoy looked at the expressionless Gu Zheng and quickly continued.
"My original name was Xiao Le. I used to live in Fenghe, where I had my family, friends, and a happy life. It was not until I got an opportunity by chance that I embarked on this path. "Xiao Le's eyes were full of nostalgia, and even a smile hung on the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he was really happy at that time.
"Then after a long time, I began to travel in the prehistoric world. I was on a very ordinary adventure."
As Xiao Le told the story, Gu Zheng also understood that he was imprisoned here. His original strength was actually at the peak of Daluo, which was beyond your expectation.
He was captured here tens of thousands of years ago. Speaking of it, he has endured tens of thousands of years of torture here, which is a kind of torture of the mind and soul.
