Chapter 1201

At this time, there was only a simple shield outside the exquisite brocade box, which was the protection of the box itself. With this layer of protection, no one below the level of a celestial being would think of breaking it violently. Just now, Gu Zheng had deliberately avoided it to avoid being damaged.

Gu Zheng picked up Xiang Xiang. This jade pillar was not high, but it was still a bit high for her.

Xiang Xiang held both sides of the box with both hands, feeling the warmth of the brocade box, and then used her hands to break the restriction of the brocade box.

With a light "click", the brocade box was opened, and a yellowish-brown thing like a branch was placed inside, emitting yellow light all over.

Xiang Xiang's face immediately showed a look of disappointment, but it was not what she wanted.

Gu Zheng knew it as soon as he saw Xiang Xiang's expression. Looking at the stone pillars around, he didn't know which one was what was really needed inside.

Since it wasn't, Gu Zheng put the brocade box back to its original place. Although these things were valuable, if he took more, it might cause them to hunt him down. After all, these things had to be paid as tribute to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. It was better for him to keep a low profile.

There was no other way. Gu Zheng was going to use a stupid method and break them one by one. Seeing that there were still a dozen jade pillars around, Gu Zheng couldn't help but have a headache. He hoped that his luck would be better.

Gu Zheng didn't restore the original appearance of the jade pillar. After all, there would be a wave of rays of light in the end. One less would be a little easier.

The slight panting sound of "Huhu" was very conspicuous in this very quiet and narrow place.

Gu Zheng's face was full of fatigue. Now half of the jade pillars in the hall had been opened, but there was not one that Xiangxiang needed. The things inside made Gu Zheng envious. There was even a main ingredient. If Gu Zheng put it in cooking, it could definitely improve a person's realm, but Gu Zheng could only bear the pain and not take it.

As more and more things were opened, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air increased a lot, which slightly replenished Gu Zheng's consumption, which was better than nothing. At least his spirit was not tired at all.

Although the consumption in the body is relatively large now, as he becomes more and more proficient, the difficulty is not as thrilling as at the beginning.

Feeling the situation in the body, he estimated that he could open one more, and then he had to rest. He couldn't empty it all. Even now, Gu Zheng felt that his control over his body was a little low.

Greedily inhaled the spiritual energy of the air, and the cool spiritual energy went down his throat into his lungs, dispelling some of the heat in his body, and his spirit recovered a lot again.

The familiar blue flag appeared in the air again, and the same water mist was ready to block the attack of the jade pillar.

The familiar process appeared again, and Gu Zheng controlled the jade pillar with ease.

But the accident happened at the end. Because of the fatigue of the body, the last blue shield did not completely block the bright white light, and several white lights penetrated the shield directly and leaked in.

Although Gu Zheng immediately sent out several sword energies, shattering several of them halfway, it was a pity that one of them still hit the jade pillar.

Although only a little white light emerged, it was immediately shattered by Gu Zheng's golden light.

But this time the pagoda finally sensed that something was wrong. A sharp bell sounded inside the pagoda, and the four big red lanterns outside suddenly became brighter.

As red as blood, it illuminated most of the sky, ensuring that everyone in the hall could see it.

At this time, the blue-robed man who was still looking for Gu Zheng and his men outside also saw a scene like a sea of ​​blood.

"The pagoda is invaded." He shouted.

They had just left there not long ago, and the alarm came from the back, feeling that they were fooled.

At this time, everyone in the hall, no matter where they were, gathered towards the pagoda. It can be said that place is the most important place in the entire hall.

Gu Zheng was also shocked. He didn't expect to make a mistake at the last moment. Gu Zheng immediately opened the box. A half-fiery red and half-sky blue fruit was inside. He hurriedly handed it to Xiangxiang to see if it was the one he needed.

This time, no matter whether he had to leave here or not, otherwise he really couldn't get away. If he was caught, Xiangxiang might be fine, but he would definitely be in trouble.

Looking at Xiangxiang's happy expression, Gu Zheng knew that he had finally found the real owner this time. He quickly stuffed the brocade box into Xiangxiang's hand and immediately pulled Xiangxiang out of the stone door.

When he was about to go out, Gu Zheng had already added all the defense states. There were two monsters outside, which would definitely alarm him. He had to escape from there even if he was hit twice.

But as soon as he went out, Gu Zheng, who was well prepared, found that there was no one in the empty hall, and even the two old crabs were gone.

I don't know why they left, but for Gu Zheng, it was a godsend. He pulled Xiangxiang straight to the stairs and prepared to go down.

There are no windows on this floor. If you want to go out, you can either go back the way you came or go out through the main door.

The piercing bells were still ringing in his ears. Gu Zheng knew without looking that there was a large group of people surrounding this place, waiting for him to fall into the trap. Gu Zheng was not so stupid as to go out through the main door.

As long as he kept a little distance from them and used the Xiangxiang talent, no one would be able to find them.

When Gu Zheng was thinking about how to get rid of them, he just took out the blue dagger and found that the restriction on the stairs had disappeared.

Gu Zheng didn't think so much at this time. He immediately thought that the two brothers forgot to close the door when they went out. As the spirit beasts guarding here, they must have some basic information about opening it.

Even Xiangxiang smiled, so they would have more time to escape.

Gu Zheng was worried that the dagger was damaged, and he was not in good condition. He might not be able to open the passage in time. Now he can finally put his mind at ease.

When Gu Zheng took his first step down the stairs, a ripple suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and a huge disc appeared in front of him, with two white and black balls spinning rapidly.

"This is a trap." Gu Zheng suddenly thought of this in his mind, but unfortunately their bodies were too fast, and they had no time to stop their bodies, and they rushed directly with Xiangxiang.

Gu Zheng subconsciously closed his eyes and pulled Xiangxiang behind him to prevent her from being hit.

But Gu Zheng felt cold all over, as if he had entered the water. His body slowed down suddenly, and then the world spun around. His mind was confused, and he only knew to hold on to Xiangxiang, and then he fainted and lost consciousness.

After Gu Zheng and Xiangxiang disappeared, the disc suddenly stopped spinning and decomposed into powder in mid-air, leaving no trace.

A ray of light suddenly emerged from the top of the fourth floor, bypassing the stairs and piercing the window on the third floor. Two shadows, one big and one small, escaped at high speed.

After just a breath, the footsteps of many people came from below. It was the green-robed man who hurried over and saw the two shadows running away.

"Follow me, catch up."

In an instant, half of the people, led by the green-robed man, passed through the broken window and chased them directly.

The young man led the others to see the empty fourth floor and wondered where the senior had gone. Perhaps he thought of his responsibility and saw the senior, broke through the defense and fled in a hurry, while the senior and the others followed the thieves and left here.

The young man carefully checked whether the stone door was open and found that it was in the same state as when he left just now. A big stone fell from his heart.

It still needs to wait for Commander Wang to come back to observe inside, but there should be nothing.

Fortunately, there are seniors in charge, otherwise they will be played around by the enemy. Thinking of this, the young man wanted to catch them immediately and torture them well to vent his anger.

There is no one in charge here. The young man is afraid that there are other people hiding here. Although it is unlikely, he still ordered some people to check carefully from inside to outside, and he stayed here with others.

Half a month later, the green-robed man came back with a frustrated look on his face. The young man knew at a glance that he did not catch the other party. He could only hope that the seniors could help them.

In addition to this, the defense of the hall was several times tighter than usual, and the two of them simply replaced the position of the spirit beast senior and took charge again.

No more accidents must happen.

But he didn't know that above his head, he thought the senior was chasing the thieves, but he was hiding above.

"Father, we don't know what they took inside, so is it not good to help them leave here?"

"At this time, Lord Lei came to explain in person, and there is no need to ask about all the losses. We just need to do our own things steadily and wait quietly."

"Yes, father."

In a dark cave, it was pitch dark, with damp walls on both sides, and there were water drops from somewhere beside, dripping on the ground, causing waves of echoes in the passage.

In a corner, a thin figure was trying to shrink into a ball, his face was panic, and a small flame kept appearing in his hand. It just illuminated the surroundings, and it would be extinguished by the invisible pressure of the air in an instant.

But the figure was still tirelessly lighting the flame in his hand, because it could bring her a little warmth and make her less afraid. She had never seen such a terrifying scene.

Loneliness, loneliness and fear tortured her all the time. She didn't know how long she had been here. She didn't dare to walk around in the dark. There was something that frightened her.

When she couldn't emit a ray of light in her body anymore, she finally couldn't hold on to her face that was pretending to be nothing.

She felt colder and colder, as if all the cold air around her was attacking her.

She tried to curl up into a ball to add some warmth, put her head between her legs, held her head with both hands, hid herself like an ostrich, and sobbed softly in the air.

"Brother Gu, where are you? Xiangxiang is so scared."

It turned out that when she and Gu Zheng ran away together a long time ago, Xiangxiang and Gu Zheng were teleported away from there together. Unexpectedly, after a trance, Xiangxiang found that she and Gu Zheng had separated.

She didn't know where she was, and she couldn't see anything around her. The air was very oppressive, which made her panic.

Panicked, Xiangxiang had never experienced such a dangerous illusion before, so she had to find a corner to hide, and kept cheering herself up in her heart, thinking that Gu Zheng would find her.

But she knew that her mana was exhausted, and she didn't wait for Gu Zheng to find her, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer.

At this time, Gu Zheng was also lying on a damp ground. A slight black gas was lingering above his head, and more black gas was entering it. It seemed that he had been here for a long time.

Seeing that Gu Zheng's breath gradually became stable, which was different from what the black gas imagined, he finally couldn't hold it back. Finally, after Gu Zheng made a circle, all the black gas nearby was sucked into his body, and even his body size grew a little bigger.

With a sound of "swish", it went through Gu Zheng's nostrils and went straight to Gu Zheng's head.

Gu Zheng groaned in pain. He was just unconscious now, and it was just a subconscious reaction.

But not long after, a group of black gas quickly came out of his nostrils again. The previously condensed mist had already dispersed a little, and rushed directly to the outside, as if he was running away in a hurry.

But after running a distance, he saw a bright light flashing on the seal on Gu Zheng's forehead, followed by a black light rushing up. He must kill the enemy who dared to invade him directly.

The black light instantly crossed this distance and directly hit the black fog.

The black fog was annihilated in an instant, leaving no residue, and the black light continued to rush towards the wall in front. When it was about to touch, a light curtain appeared there silently, directly blocking the aggressive black light, and then disappeared again.

At the same time, stimulated by the black air, Gu Zheng finally woke up from his coma.

Gu Zheng looked at the dark surroundings blankly, not knowing where this place was. Subconsciously, a fireball as big as a baby's fist appeared in the air, slightly illuminating the surroundings.

Gu Zheng saw clearly that he was actually in a cave, surrounded by wet walls, and the air was very humid. It felt like soaking in water, very uncomfortable.

There were short passages in front and behind him, and they had already turned, and he didn't know where they led to.

There was also a cold breath in the air, even his fireball was suppressed like this, and he had just tried it. No matter what, as long as it left the body, it would be suppressed by more than 50% by the mysterious power.

"Where is Xiangxiang." Gu Zheng realized that Xiangxiang was not with him.

Gu Zheng closed his eyes and felt it. Fortunately, he left a mark on her body. The other party was likely to be teleported here like him.

I really don't know who is so insidious to set up a small teleportation array at the entrance of the stairs. I didn't think of it at all. I just wondered why the other party did this since they found their traces.

It could only be that they helped them for Xiangxiang's sake? You know, she used to live here, and Gu Zheng was not sure.

"Found it." Gu Zheng sensed her weak breath, probably to the west of him, fortunately not too far away from him, he had to find her quickly, she would be scared here alone.

Gu Zheng spread his body and went to the west along the passage. In less than an incense stick of time, Gu Zheng had arrived in front of Xiangxiang.

"Xiangxiang, I'm late. Are you okay?" Gu Zheng said, standing not far from Xiangxiang. He could already see her blurry figure. Seeing her shrinking in the corner, Gu Zheng couldn't help but feel distressed.

Although she has such a high level of cultivation, she is actually no different from a little girl.

Normally, Xiangxiang should get up at this time, but she didn't move at this time.

Gu Zheng took a few steps forward, and Xiangxiang's figure was completely exposed in the weak firelight. There was a black air wrapped around Xiangxiang's head, and she was shaking all over.

Gu Zheng's face changed, and he first emitted a ray of light, which was dispelled by the strange black fog, and he immediately stepped forward to pick Xiangxiang up from the ground.

I only felt that her body was as cold as ice, her teeth bit her lower lip, her little face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and her body was shaking, as if she was in great pain.

Gu Zheng confidently explored Xiangxiang's body and found that there was a black gas inside her body, which was the same as the one outside. It was now rampaging and destroying her body, and some parts were dyed black.

Xiangxiang's body was empty, and she basically gave up resistance and let the other party wreak havoc in her body.

Although Gu Zheng didn't know what was going on, he quickly helped her stabilize the situation in her body, but the black gas couldn't be expelled anyway. It all shrank together and hid near her heart, which made Gu Zheng hesitate to force it.

When Gu Zheng opened his eyes, he found that the black gas just now appeared on Xiangxiang's head again, fluttering around like a ghost.

A cold light appeared in the air, and instantly dispersed the black gas again. Gu Zheng keenly discovered that under his attack, the black gas was only dispersed, and there was actually no damage at all.

After a short interval of time, the black gas slowly gathered again and gathered towards Xiangxiang's head again.

Gu Zheng stretched out his hand to block it and see what it was. He found that the black air seemed to be afraid of him. It stopped in front of his palm and then slowly floated upwards, trying to bypass him.

Gu Zheng's palm flashed with a faint golden light, and he grabbed the black air directly. The black air had an unreasonable speed and actually avoided his sneak attack.

Gu Zheng went back and forth several times, but he couldn't catch him no matter what he did. It seemed that the black air had spirituality and could penetrate the barrier formed by Gu Zheng. It was slippery and Gu Zheng had no way to deal with it.

After a few minutes of stalemate, Gu Zheng had to give up grabbing it and study it. It seemed that the situation inside Xiangxiang's body could only be left like this.

At this time, Xiangxiang's face had become much rosier, her face had calmed down, and her body was no longer trembling. Everything was going in a good direction, but she didn't show any signs of waking up.

It was as if she had fallen into a deep coma and had no reaction to the outside world. Gu Zheng didn't know why he remembered the strange black gas.

Why did the other party send them here, and why the black gas was so afraid of him.
