Chapter 1468

"Shelter?" Gu Zheng said in confusion, then took a few steps forward and looked carefully at the place.

It was obvious that this was an underground cave. He looked up and saw the dry well above his head, but the distance was several times longer than before. A simple fixed wooden board was against the wall. If ordinary people wanted to get out, they could only climb out. It was very magical.

The whole cave was very large. At least 5,000 people could live in it without any problems. From his own observation, the other party only had more than 1,000 people here, which was spacious enough.

Unknown red fluorescent beads were inlaid on the wall, filling the whole cave with strange red light.

In the cave next to it, there was a stone cave that had been opened up long ago. Through several uninhabited stone caves, there were all the basic things inside.

Those monsters had already returned to their respective residences, and some secretly looked at this side at the door, looking at this sudden guest.

"What is that?" Gu Zheng saw a figure sitting in a corner, but some simple food was offered in front of him.

But that person had been dead for a long time. In addition to a decayed body, even his soul was gone.

"This man is the ancestor god of the tribe here. When you came here, you probably saw the miserable situation of the village outside. There are now a total of more than 100,000 people in four villages nearby, but now there are only more than 1,000 people. If he hadn't protected the two of us in the end, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen us." The old bird said sadly.

"Is that soul-devouring beast so powerful? And how did you appear here?" Gu Zheng asked curiously, and he also wanted to know some additional information about the soul-devouring beast.

"Soul-devouring beast? The name of that monster? It really fits! It's very powerful. When he just appeared, we gathered together. Three middle-stage golden immortals, two peak-stage golden immortals, and one late-stage golden immortal besieged him, but they were killed by the other side. Except for the two of us, all died. If it weren't for the cave he accidentally left before, I'm afraid we would have died long ago."

A trace of fear flashed in the monkey's eyes, as if he saw the scene at that time when they were confident that they wanted to kill the other party, but were defeated by the other party.

"It's like this. After you let us go, Master Gu, we headed west. For wandering ancestors, there is no regional distinction. They can go anywhere they want." The old bird sighed and quickly told their itinerary in a few words.

After they left, they came all the way here and went back to their old business. Unfortunately, after only a few successes, they were discovered by a very powerful ancestor god. They were severely injured and barely escaped. At that time, they came to this island and got the help of the ancestor god in front of them, which saved their lives.

Unfortunately, when their injuries had just healed, one of the ancestor gods broke in here like crazy, as if he had lost his mind. Just when they wanted to subdue him, the incense power on his body suddenly exploded, and the whole person died like a deflated balloon.

If it were just like this, it would be fine. At that time, there were some people who were not afraid of death and wanted to study the secrets of the power of incense. The way of death was different.

But before they could get close to collect his body, a black gas flashed from his body and swallowed up the body of that person in a blink of an eye.

A monster was born from it. Normally, it was all black fog, and only at certain times would it recover a strange appearance.

And it was very good at controlling their hearts, making people have all kinds of hallucinations, and even the whole person could be controlled by it. It was impossible to defend against it, and even they could not resist it completely.

And when it appeared, it was impossible to escape from here, but it was still possible to come in at that time. Some nearby ancestors felt the situation here, and after coming in, they joined together to prepare to kill, but they were killed in return.

And the monster began to stir up a bloody storm here, devouring monsters, and several villages around were all swallowed up by him.

After the two of them escaped by chance, they went to save some people who survived by chance nearby, but only these were left.

At the end, even the little monkey's eyes were full of tears. So many compatriots died in the hands of the other side, which made them feel so painful. If it weren't for these people to continue to survive, they would have attacked the other side suicidally.

"Do you know what big noise will happen nearby?" After listening to it, Gu Zheng knew how this soul-devouring beast appeared, so he asked the question that concerned him the most.

"Movement? Of course there is. Every time after the night, the monster will appear in its body and attack the outside frantically, as if it wants to escape from here, but we are just guessing. In that violent situation, we dare not go out. The noise is too scary." The little monkey said immediately after hearing it.

"I heard you say that the night here is getting longer and longer, why is it so short this time!" Gu Zheng asked, thinking of the terrifying roar that was about to dawn.

"I'm afraid that your coming in has attracted the attention of the monster, so it forcibly tore through the night and wanted to seize your teleportation token and leave here. After all, the monster is not only instinctive, but also seems to have a high level of intelligence." The old monkey said slowly beside him.

"Mr. Gu, you heard what we said just now. If the night really doesn't disappear, it means that we have been abandoned. Except for your token that can leave here, all of us, including the monster, will be forgotten here until we die." The little monkey said with some fear.

They are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of being alone. If that happens, they might as well die.

"So that's it." Gu Zheng looked up thoughtfully. Unfortunately, the outside world can't see here, and here can't sense anything outside either. It seems to be divided into two worlds, and the only connection is this dry well.

"Now this area is the only place that is not affected by him. I use magic weapons to suppress the surrounding area outside. Only when it is dark, when the opponent's power is the weakest, can we go out. It is impossible to light a bonfire here, otherwise they will be suffocated to death." The little monkey continued.

They don't need to eat or drink, but these ordinary people have to survive.

Gu Zheng felt that the two people had at least changed a little more than before, maybe because of these things.

The air suddenly became quiet.

"You don't have much supplies!" Gu Zheng broke the calm and asked.

"Very little, at most it can support half a year, everything is gone, no one would have thought that such a powerful force would fail, Mr. Gu, you won't really accept the mission here, right? I advise you not to fight with the other party, leave here quickly, the other party is too strong!" The little monkey said, and then he remembered the purpose of Gu Zheng coming here.

"Don't worry, since I dare to accept it, I have a certain degree of confidence. Besides, if I don't solve him, this space will be lost, and so many lives will die." Gu Zheng shook his head and said, in fact, there is another reason that he didn't say.

That is for this huge amount of points, only red coins can be exchanged for points. In order to prepare the wanted order, plus I wasted too much time to find this place, I may not have so much time to accept more tasks.

This time, I must complete the mission, otherwise it will be too late.

"These things, you should distribute them to everyone first, don't save them, we will go back soon." Gu Zheng took out a bracelet and handed it over. Most of them were simple food, which could be eaten directly. There was enough food for thousands of people for a year.

"Great, I'll thank Master Gu for them." The old bird took it and looked at it, and said happily.

"But Master Gu, the other party is very, very powerful, you have to pay more attention." The little monkey said worriedly.

"I know, I will be more careful." Gu Zheng said confidently.

With this place to hide, Gu Zheng stayed here with peace of mind, quietly waiting for the other party to force a breakthrough here, and then he would find the other party here.

If there was no such place, I'm afraid Gu Zheng would have to face the terrible enemy as soon as he arrived.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was so confident, the two of them hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

In their hearts, they also hoped that Gu Zheng would defeat the terrifying monster. Only in this way could they leave here. In the final analysis, no one wanted to die.

The old bird took the bracelet given by Gu Zheng, left the little monkey to accompany him and tied him, and began to walk towards the caves. These monsters had not eaten for many days, and their strong bodies had long been skinny.

One by one, the monsters took the food that was enough for them to have several full meals, and everyone looked at Gu Zheng with gratitude. The old bird told them the source of the food, but did not tell Gu Zheng the purpose of coming here.

Fear that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Looking at these monsters, except for some physical characteristics that show that they are monsters, their behavior is almost exactly the same as that of humans.

Although they are monsters, they have been assimilated here for who knows how many years, so that these local monsters will not transform into their original form at all. Only by breaking through to the immortal can they transform into the existence of the monster clan again.

Under the leadership of the little monkey, Gu Zheng left the hall and came to an uninhabited cave, and lived there for the time being.

Originally, Gu Zheng was not in a hurry at all. According to what they said, the night will fall once every ten days, but two nights have passed, and the soul-devouring beast has not tried to break through.

He also tried to come to the well several times, but he could feel that there was always a vigilant gaze in the sky scanning all the space. It seemed that his arrival had alarmed the other party, causing the other party to dare not try to break through the passage, as if he felt that he would be fatally attacked if he was weak.

The more Gu Zheng thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was correct. The other party was really sharp. Perhaps he had noticed something, so a new idea came to his mind.

On this day, the sky remained unchanged. From the sky, the originally beautiful Yunxia Island looked dark and lifeless.

Gu Zheng, who had restored his original appearance, stood in the sky and looked down quietly. The breeze blew, and the strange smell mixed with it had already made him close his mouth and nose.

His spiritual consciousness kept scanning the sky, and he stood there defenselessly, waiting for the soul-devouring beast to appear.

But the sky was quiet. He had been standing here for half a day, and the other party still did not appear.

"Clang"

A good quality long sword was suddenly pulled out by Gu Zheng, and layers of golden light emerged from his hand, slowly covering the long sword. Suddenly, the dazzling golden light rose in the air, and a trace of spiritual energy was drawn between heaven and earth, forming a strong wind, and some clouds around were unconsciously attracted to this side.

The strong golden light was like substance, and the invisible energy kept blowing around him, blowing Gu Zheng's clothes.

In a blink of an eye, Gu Zheng raised the long sword in his hand and slashed at the void in front of him, making a heavy sonic boom. All the energy gathered together, and a huge sword energy suddenly appeared in the air and slashed towards a cloud in the distance.

The huge wind pressure rushed over at once, and wherever it passed, the clouds in the sky shattered, cutting from large pieces into small pieces, and then from small pieces into nothingness, but there was always a cloud, as if it was not affected by any energy, and it was still floating quietly in the air.

Let the strong wind blow, I still stood still.

In an instant, the sword shadow slashed heavily on the cloud, and the originally solid cloud suddenly cracked into a huge gap, and the seemingly solid cloud was constantly melting around the sword energy.

Countless clouds rolled up and were squeezed and pushed out to both sides.

After a few breaths, the cloud was instantly pierced through, and the sword energy continued to rush out, and soon disappeared in front of the eyes.

"Roar"

An angry roar sounded in the air, and the scattered colorful clouds gathered together under some kind of power, and the originally flawless white clouds suddenly turned black.

In the blink of an eye, a large area in front of him turned into a constantly churning black sea, and gusts of gloomy wind kept blowing, and the whistling sound in the sky kept ringing.

The opponent was hiding on the side, making it difficult for Gu Zheng to find it.

Gu Zheng had heard from Xiao Hou and the others about the Soul Devouring Beast in this state, and they had already shaken out all the events of their last battle. Gu Zheng already knew some of the Soul Devouring Beast's attack methods.

But last time they didn't see its true form at all, and were directly defeated by this group of black fog.

A little red light rose in the black fog, and Gu Zheng could feel the eyes looking down from above, like the eyes of the soul-devouring beast.

"Roar"

A huge roar sounded again from the rolling black fog, and at the same time a strange wave flashed in the air,

but Gu Zheng could strangely sense the other party's vigilance.

"This is... my territory, leave here."

Gu Zheng's expression condensed, it seems that the other party can sense things that many people cannot sense, such as his true identity, which is really interesting, how exactly it was formed.

He thought so in his mind, but his hands kept moving. He was not chatting with the other party, but he had to see how powerful the other party's immortal body was.

In the last battle, the little monkeys with full firepower beat the black fog into pieces in just a few rounds, and then they relaxed their vigilance, and the other party took the opportunity to invade their minds. As a result, they were briefly confused by the other party and killed each other.

Steadying his body and ignoring the violent hurricane, Gu Zheng threw the long sword in his hand.

The whole long sword flashed with golden light, and thousands of golden sword shadows appeared in the air, covering the sky layer by layer, with the sword tip pointing directly at the black fog.

The next moment, the sound of swords rang out in the sky, and sword shadows instantly shot down like a long dragon, and countless meteors flew down with a whistling sound.

Originally, the soul-devouring beast didn't seem to want to fight with Gu Zheng, but seeing that the other party took action first, it would not surrender. Fist-sized black balls emerged from the black fog and shot towards the sky one by one.

"Puff" "Puff"

The black balls that seemed to be coming fiercely in the air were pierced one by one at the moment of contact, turning into black air all over the sky, and did not block any attack of the sword shadows at all.

However, when those sword shadows passed through, the outside was already covered with thick black air, and the color of the sword shadows could hardly be seen. Even so, they were all submerged in the rolling black fog.

"Boom boom"

The sound of explosions in the sky continued to sound, and each golden sword broke in the explosion, making a deafening sound. A large area of ​​black fog was swept into the center of the explosion in the air and directly destroyed.

The black fog in the sky was blown into pieces, as if it had been severely damaged.

However, just before the golden sword landed, a large section of black fog was separated from the black fog.

Almost all the black fog was condensed, and thousands of black swords were condensed, shining with bright black light, shooting towards Gu Zheng, almost simulating Gu Zheng's attack method.

"Ding ding dang dang"

Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the long sword in the sky that had escaped instantly flew back in his hand. His whole body began to move rapidly and began to resist the black sword in front of him.

The two intersected and made a sound of metal clashing. None of the dense black swords broke into Gu Zheng's body, and they were all knocked away by Gu Zheng one by one.

However, each of those black swords that were knocked away would overlap in the air. When there was suddenly nothing in front of Gu Zheng, the long swords had already gathered together densely, forming a strange arrangement.

As the last black sword returned to its position, all the black swords suddenly lit up, and countless black lines appeared around the black swords, linking all the black swords together.

A black dragon made up of countless black swords suddenly appeared in the air, but if you look closely, it is just those black swords put together, and even the outside is sharp.

But under some mysterious power, it now seems to be a whole, rushing towards Gu Zheng quickly.

"Clang"

Gu Zheng quickly dodged to the side, dodging the opponent's attack, and slashed at the opponent's side with a sword, making a loud noise.

Even Gu Zheng felt his wrist trembling.

Originally, he wanted to pick off half of the black swords, but found that each black sword had merged with the black dragon. If he went up to provoke it, he would face the opponent's entire body.

The dragon accelerated and floated in the air again. The big mouth made up of long swords kept opening and closing, and the eyes formed by several black swords stared at him.

Gu Zheng looked around with his peripheral vision. Except for sporadic black fog, the soul-devouring beast could no longer be seen in the sky.

The next moment, its figure rushed out again.
