Chapter 1408

On the way back with Gu Zheng and Mei Luoyu, Gu Zheng suddenly stopped in confusion and looked to the side.

"Master Zushen, what's wrong? There's nothing there?"

Mei Luoyu looked in the direction Gu Zheng was looking and found that it was still a piece of yellow earth, and there was nothing strange about it.

"Wait a minute, I'll go take a look and come back!"

Gu Zheng thought about it, and then told her next to him, and then flew to the distance, and disappeared in front of Mei Luoyu in a blink of an eye.

If there is one thing that is not satisfactory here, it is probably that there are too few trees and the like. Basically, there are still many forests on the islands. On the land, there is no green at all, and the sky is full of yellow earth.

According to Ren Jie, it will be much better in the middle of the road, basically the same as outside, with high mountains, huge forests, and many tree-rich creatures, so everyone wants to go inside, after all, everyone likes a better living environment.

Half an incense stick later, Gu Zheng stood on a slightly raised ground, and in front of him, there was a small figure digging a pit vigorously, which was now several feet deep.

But the figure was still digging downwards, as if there was some treasure underneath, working tirelessly.

What puzzled Gu Zheng was that after a sweep, let alone treasures, there was not even a piece of garbage underneath, because there was nothing underneath, except loess, and loess.

Seeing that the other party could only throw up a little bit of soil each time, piling it up nearby, and now forming a small hill, it seemed that the time for work was really endless.

After all, the other party had no tools, only relying on that pair of small hands, digging in the ground, which was also very persevering.

But what puzzled Gu Zheng was, what was he going to do?

This small figure did not notice Gu Zheng's arrival, and was still waving his little hands and throwing loess on it, but he found that the other party seemed to be a little exhausted.

The panting sound like a cow was so obvious in the small pit. Every time the other party moved, it was much slower than before, as if the other party had never rested.

Gu Zheng was still thinking about why this child, who was about ten years old, ran to this wilderness alone. Was he playing a digging game alone? But Gu Zheng also knew that there was no demon stronghold within a radius of ten thousand miles. How did he run so far?

Was it just to dig a big pit?

Of course, what attracted Gu Zheng was not a demon child appearing here, but that the other party actually had a trace of this incense power in his body, although it was very weak, so weak that you might not be able to find a trace even if you stood in front of you and looked carefully.

Because the other party had perfectly merged with the demon power in his body, Gu Zheng discovered the other party, in fact, thanks to the help of the demon grass. In this place, through the demon grass, he could clearly sense the incense power in the other party's body, even if it was weak, he could still detect it.

But Gu Zheng clearly remembered that only the ancestor god could master this incense power.

It is because it is necessary to master and use the skills left by the quasi-sage. If it were not for the help of the demon grass, Gu Zhengzhong planned not to use the power of incense, and even resigned the title of ancestor god.

After all, not everyone from outside wants to be an ancestor god.

Anyway, for those who worship him, their source is the remnant of the power of the statue after the statue gathers together. As long as there is a statue, their strength will increase, but the incense converted by the statue is wasted.

But this little boy is a little strange. Gu Zheng looked at him again and again, but did not find any difference. He had no magic weapon. His strength was still very low. It was impossible for him to be an ancestor god, and there was nothing in his body to help him, just like the demon grass in Gu Zheng's body.

Just when Gu Zheng was thinking, the little boy may have no results for so long, so he stopped his movements, and then jumped out of the pit below in a few leaps.

Gu Zheng's mind moved, and the whole person became a little transparent. Although it was a little imperfect, it was more than enough to hide from this little guy.

The little boy came up and sat on a slightly higher earth slope, looking south with a pair of slightly resentful eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

However, this kind of little adult's contemplation did not last long. A thunderous sound came from his stomach, and the little boy's face drooped with a bitter face.

He rubbed his stomach, trying to calm it down for a while, but it was useless. The intermittent thundering sound kept ringing at this time, and it was even louder.

The little boy bent down, and it seemed that he had not eaten for a long time.

The little boy showed a trace of determination in his eyes, and then he walked to the side with a weak step, and the whole person began to look for something on the ground.

But in Gu Zheng's perception, there seemed to be nothing there either, which was not entirely right.

To be precise, there seemed to be only an abandoned food there, a round cake as hard as a stone.

"You are not really looking for it!"

While Gu Zheng was wondering, the other party actually dug out the round cake from the loess after searching for a while.

The little boy held the food in his hands as if it were a treasure, with excitement in his eyes. It was the look of excitement that came from not having eaten for three days and three nights and suddenly seeing food in front of him.

Seeing that he simply blew the loess off the top to make the piece in front of him look less dirty, he couldn't wait to open his mouth and bite on it.

"Click"

With a soft sound like the collision of stones, the little boy took the round cake out of his mouth. His eyes instantly became tearful, and he looked speechlessly at the small row of his own teeth marks on it.

The little boy curled his lips, stood up, waved his arms, and threw the round cake out again. The round cake drew a beautiful arc in the air and made a small pit in the loess not far away.

"Cuckoo"

But the little boy's belly didn't give him face, and he still kept protesting.

In just a few minutes, the little boy walked over there with a grimace again, because there was no food nearby at this time. If he didn't want to starve to death, he had to eat that dry and hard round cake.

Even this one was picked up from the road, otherwise he would have nothing now.

"It's not fun at all. I want to go home! Didn't you say that if you're hungry, you can find something to eat by just digging in the ground? I dug so deep and found nothing."

The little boy muttered to himself, but in a flash he thought of that island that was like a prison, with not even a single playmate, and those who accompanied him were all perfunctory, and he didn't want to go back at all.

Although I am a bit stupid, I am not stupid.

"I will definitely find a place where there are people, and then I will have something to eat!"

The little boy then thought firmly, then looked at the round cake he found again in his hand, brushed off the loess on it, and closed his eyes. Although there was still a lot of loess remaining in the gaps, he could no longer care about it and had to look carefully. Bite away.

But the moment he was about to put it into his mouth, his movements suddenly froze, and his little nose kept twitching, as if he smelled something delicious.

"It smells like roast chicken!"

His closed eyes opened instantly. Not far away from him, there was a steaming roast chicken. The alluring aroma continued to emanate from it, making his saliva flow out unconsciously.

Compared with the fragrant roast chicken, the round cake in his hand seemed to no longer exist. The aroma seemed to have a magical power, making him subconsciously walk over. The round cake in his hand even fell from his hand, but he Still don't know.

When he came to the roasted chicken, his saliva had already burst out of the restraints in his mouth, and a trace of crystal fluid flowed down from his mouth.

At this time, the little boy's eyes were blurred, and his whole heart was constantly struggling. There was a devil instigating him in his heart.

"I'm about to starve to death. It's obvious that there is an expert who can't bear to see you in this condition, so he specially left it for you. He's gone long ago. Eat quickly. Only by eating can you have the strength to go on the road."

"No, what if it's poisonous? Besides, no one said it was for you to eat!"

Just as the devil's voice came out, another voice came out again, as if it was the firm side of his heart.

"The other party put him here without knowing it. His strength is definitely far superior to yours. Does he need to poison him if he wants to deal with you?"

"In case the other party has other intentions, my father has said since childhood that you should be careful when going out."

At this time, the little boy was in a dilemma. He unconsciously stretched out his hand, retracted it, and stretched it out, but his eyes were full of desire.

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, shouted to the sky, and then threw himself in front of the roast chicken.

"Thank you, senior, for your gift!"

He stretched out his hands, tore off the chicken drumsticks on top, put it in his mouth and began to bite it, not even letting go of the remaining bones, chewing it up and swallowing it whole.

In just a short while, he devoured the entire roast chicken into his stomach, leaving not a single bit left.

"belch"

The satisfied little boy finally made a sound of satisfaction and sat on the ground, feeling like he was alive again.

At this time, Gu Zheng also walked out from the side with a smile but not a smile.

"Thank you, senior, for giving me food!"

The little boy saw a figure appearing in front of him. He immediately stood up and thanked Gu Zheng. He also waved his hands towards Gu Zheng in a decent manner, looking like a little adult.

Gu Zheng didn't care and said to the little boy in front of him.

"Why are you running around alone? Where are your family members?"

"Oh, I just came out to play. My home is quite far away." The little boy may have left home because of Gu Zheng's smile and kindness, plus the food the other party gave him. The matter of running away was exposed.

"Good guy, you dare to do this here. You don't know how many people are here. Since you dare to come out alone, you are not afraid of starving to death." Gu Zheng glanced at this little guy, but he didn't expect him to be so brave. Simply risking your life.

If Gu Zheng hadn't inadvertently sensed the difference in the other party's body, there wouldn't have been a blade of grass within a thousand miles, let alone a human being.

It can be said that with his footsteps, he would not be able to find any inhabited place on either side of the starvation.

"I brought a lot of food before, but I have already eaten it all. I get hungry quickly. I need to eat six meals a day. Just now I was 30% full." The little boy said honestly, with eager eyes. Looking at Gu Zheng's hands, he hoped that the other party would give him something to eat.

"What's your name?" Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant from his eyes. He stretched out his hand and a large piece of meat appeared in the air. Then a line of fire came out from his wrist and burned under the meat.

In just a few blinks, the aroma of barbecue filled the air, attracting the little boy's eyes again. His Adam's apple kept moving. Obviously, the aroma had seduced his appetite.

"My name is Haiming. What's your name, senior?" Although his eyes were fixed on the barbecue, he still answered Gu Zheng's question.

"Haiming, what a good name. Just call me Senior Gu." Gu Zheng praised, then took out a little salt and sprinkled it on it, and then a breath of cold wind rose out of thin air, which made the temperature of the barbecue just drop to a level that he could accept. You know, the roast chicken just now burned him badly.

"Thank you, Senior Gu." Haiming couldn't wait to receive the barbecue, so he took a big bite, swallowed hard, and thanked Gu Zheng at the same time.

Gu Zheng was just quietly waiting for the other person to finish eating, but when he saw a slight bulge on the other person's forehead, his heart moved. When the other person was about to finish eating, he asked.

"Where are you going next? If it's on the way, I'll give you a ride. Hurry home, a child shouldn't run outside."

"Senior Gu, I still have to go north. I want to see the most luxurious city here. I don't want to be trapped on the island without any freedom." Haiming heard all kinds of questions, tried to swallow the last bite of barbecue, and quickly replied.

"That's a pity. The direction we go back is also the island, which is not on the way, but if you want to enter the middle city, you can't get there even if you die of exhaustion." Gu Zheng shook his head and said to him.

"Impossible, my followers said that we are very close to the city, how could they lie to me." Haiming said with a look of doubt, but this did not prevent him from throwing the last bone into his mouth, and the sound of crunching rang in the air.

"Why would I lie to you? If you really want to go to the nearest big city, I'll calculate it for you. You can't reach it without decades of effort, and that's if you travel at full speed day and night without stopping." Gu Zheng calculated it briefly and got an approximate distance.

And the distance Gu Zheng calculated was the distance of the nearest city he knew. Although he only had a glimpse of the map on Feng's desk at that time, he remembered most of it. Even with his pace, it would take a lot of time, not to mention the little guy who could only walk on the road with his legs.

"Ah?"

Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Haiming's face was a little stunned. He didn't know why it was so far. He had worked hard all the way here, and now he found that he was almost standing still.

"Then how far am I from the beach now?"

With a little fantasy in his heart, he asked Gu Zheng.

"For me, it's probably less than a day's journey." Gu Zheng shrugged and told him this ruthless reality.

"Puff!"

Hearing this information, Haiming sat down on the ground with a helpless look in his eyes. Gu Zheng could only hear him muttering to himself.

"I went through so much trouble for a whole month to avoid the people who came to find me, but I only walked such a short distance!"

"That's how it is, so my suggestion is that you don't want to go to the city. It's better to wait until your cultivation is higher." Gu Zheng told the truth, but seeing the frustrated expression on the other party's face, he added another sentence.

"Maybe you should prepare supplies for decades, maybe you can get there."

"Yes, I can prepare more things next time." Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Haiming's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself, but in the blink of an eye, his expression became gloomy, and the excitement disappeared.

"They are all on guard against my little tricks. I have been saving these foods for several years."

"How about I take you home, or you follow me first? At least I can guarantee that you can eat enough. If you are willing to do something extra, maybe I will give you enough supplies and let you go there yourself. Maybe one day when I am in a good mood, I can take you there."

Gu Zheng said to him in a tempting tone.

It is no wonder that Gu Zheng cares so much, because after successfully completing the inheritance of the ancestor god, he found that the spiritual energy that had impacted his body before also contained a trace of incense power.

It was because of the incense power that the strange black fog in his body disappeared so much.

But on the way back, Gu Zheng had already tested that the incense power in his body could not have any effect on the remaining black air at all, and had no effect at all.

But when Gu Zheng carefully examined Haiming's body just now, he suddenly noticed another unusual change in the black air in his body. It seemed that after the previous cleansing, he was much more sensitive to the incense power that could threaten him.

Gu Zheng knew from this subtle change that the other party seemed to be afraid of something.

Then there was only one possibility, that the unknown incense power in the little boy's body made him afraid.

Gu Zheng certainly wanted to get rid of the black air in his body, so he wanted to find a way from Haiming.

If Haiming wanted to go home, he would also help him.

He would not force the other party to follow him. If the other party really didn't want to go back with him, he could just find another way. After all, the black fog was a dead thing, and there was always a way to get rid of it from his body.

After all, this is just a ball of black fog. In my body, it is just dragging me down and preventing me from fully exerting my strength. It is not serious enough for me to kidnap others.

"Okay, I won't go home, but if I want to leave and go home, you have to take me with you at any time." Haiming made up his mind after thinking for a while, but still told Gu Zheng his opinion.

"No problem."

Mei Luoyu, who was waiting anxiously, was relieved when she saw Gu Zheng flying back from a distance, but she was also surprised when she saw that there was a child behind him.

But she was smart and didn't say much, just followed Gu Zheng and headed towards Xifeng Island again.
