Chapter 1571

"We're not going the wrong way, why do we feel like it's getting harder and harder to go ahead!"

In the sky full of wind and snow, the two figures were moving forward with difficulty, and Xingcai's helpless voice sounded in the air.

After they flew for half a day, the further they went, the bigger and denser the snowflakes in the air became. Accompanied by the howling wind, the snowflakes were as fast and dense as hailstones. The fall caused ripples outside the two of them. They could still see a long distance, but now they could only see within a few feet in front of them.

It's still blurry like this, and even the detection of spiritual consciousness is interfered with, and it is impossible to detect too much distance.

Fortunately, the current body-protecting spiritual light can still isolate the cold from the body, otherwise he would have to freeze to death here.

"You shouldn't have gone the wrong way. If you hold on a little longer, we'll probably be out soon." Gu Zheng encouraged Xingcai behind him, but he felt a little worried.

This is just the outermost layer, but it is so powerful. Once inside, the mechanism is even more powerful.

He raised his head and looked at the darkness above his head, and the whole world seemed to be plunged into darkness.

"Huh?" Xingcai suddenly said in surprise.

"What?" Gu Zheng was shocked and asked suddenly.

"There seems to be something over there, but I can't see it very clearly." Xingcai pointed to the right and said to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng looked along and saw a dark thing standing in the distance among the overlapping white shadows.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look!"

Gu Zheng said, after seeing Xingcai nodding, he immediately led her towards that direction. In just ten breaths, he could already see the situation over there relatively clearly.

It turned out to be a contiguous group of palaces covering a very wide area.

Maybe there is something special here. As they get closer to here, the snowflakes in the sky become smaller and smaller. When they fall on the ground, they are almost the same size as when they wake up from a coma.

"puff"

Gu Zheng and the others had just landed, and they found that half of Xiao Xiao's calves were not even under the ground. Even though the snowflakes were not big, a thick layer of snow had already formed on the ground.

"Forget it, let's fly, be careful." Gu Zheng took a look and flew out of the ground, flying close to the snow.

Xingcai shook her legs and feet, and after shaking off the snow from her body, she also learned how to fight in ancient times. Compared with this little consumption, it was much better than walking in a snow nest.

At this time, the hall in front of them was not very big, and the main door had long been damaged. At a glance, the contents inside were clearly visible, but now it looked empty. Coupled with the snowflakes floating from the outside, the hall was also filled with snowflakes. A layer of white snow.

The two people continued to move forward along the side of the palace, wanting to see what else was here, and maybe they could find something. Of course, they hoped that there would be a teleportation circle to leave this area.

As the two walked, they carefully observed their surroundings.

They noticed that the walls of many surrounding halls were already somewhat tattered, and there were many traces of battles on them, as if they had gone through some kind of battle.

As they went deeper, they suddenly saw a huge open space with more than a dozen scattered jade pillars above, but more of them were broken in two, giving people a very dilapidated look.

There is a relatively tall palace further up, and there are layers of stone steps leading there. The shadow I saw before is this palace.

The two people did not stop at the square and continued walking forward.

When they reached the top, they discovered that half of the wall below the palace had collapsed, leaving only traces of broken walls and some faint black and dried blood.

"Why is this place so scary? It feels like a fierce battle." Xingcai looked at some and said with a frown.

"If I'm not wrong, this place should be where the traitors attacked this place last time, and then the resistance here caused all this. It's obvious that they all gathered here after breaking through the formation outside, but it seems They were all slaughtered in the end." Gu Zheng glanced at the main hall, but there was nothing noteworthy.

"So that's it. I thought someone came here before us to fight." Xingcai breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed the orb again with her tight palms. She had been fighting at any time just now.

"You can feel it by looking at the fluctuations of spiritual energy around you. It seems that there is nothing here. It has been looted. Don't look at other places. Let's leave." Gu Zheng shook his head and said.

"good!"

Xingcai also knew that when she was about to leave with Gu Zheng, a small sound suddenly came to her ears. Before she could react, she heard an explosion from the side.

"What happened?"

"A puppet that hasn't lost power yet, but is already mutilated. It seems that it sensed our arrival and made a sound. Unfortunately, the energy in the body can only make the opponent move a little." Gu Zheng reached out and grabbed it. The sword came back with a swipe from there, and was put away again by Gu Zheng.

Seeing this, Xingcai also put away the reactivated orb.

The two of them just reached the sky and hurried forward.

Just when Gu Zheng launched the attack, the Blood Sect Master and his people were rushing through the snow and wind far away from here. However, this was also his first time here, and unfortunately, he also got lost.

"Stop!" The Blood Sect Master suddenly stretched out his hand and said to the back.

The people behind him obeyed the order and stood still in the air.

The Blood Sect Master looked in a certain direction, and a ray of blood rose in his eyes, with two small red vortices, which seemed to penetrate the endless snowflakes and see the distance.

"Ha, it turns out that someone has already rushed over. Judging from the other party's appearance, they should know how to get out. Let's go! Follow them and save some time."

After a while, the Blood Sect Master returned to normal and said with a grin.

The whole team followed the Blood Sect Master and rushed quickly in one direction. That direction was the palace complex that Gu Zheng had just left.

Gu Zheng also began to move forward in the previous direction. At this time, he realized that he was going in the right direction, because there were scattered palaces in front of him. They were called palaces, but Gu Zheng thought they were more like residences. There were some weathered daily necessities in them, which should be the place where servants lived.

However, each building was built magnificently, looking like a palace.

There was no looting inside, but there was nothing to worry about.

Fortunately, the wind and snow in the sky did not increase, as if it had reached its limit, which made them feel a lot more relaxed.

Half an hour later, the originally flat terrain was obviously higher, and there was a towering mountain in the distance. Obviously, a special breath came from it, even if it was so far away, it could be felt.

Gu Zheng and Xingcai looked at each other, and the two of them rushed over instantly.

When approaching the valley, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly decreased to a certain extent, and only light snow continued to fall in the sky, and even the dark clouds above were much brighter.

"It seems that this is the place!" Gu Zheng said to Xingcai, looking at the gradually rising mountain peaks and the valley below.

The two fell towards the only entrance of the valley. At this time, the snow under their feet barely covered the upper surface of their shoes, which did not affect their movements at all.

"What is this!" Xingcai looked at a human figure leaning against the mountain wall on the wall, walked over curiously, blew it upward, and the snow on it was blown away by the wind, revealing a crystal puppet.

The whole body is made of a blue crystal, which is seamless, and even the facial features are clearly carved. If you only look at the appearance, it is like a real person, but at this time, it has closed its eyes.

"It should be a guard puppet, but it looks damaged." Gu Zheng took a glance and saw that the human puppet had a big hole in the heart, and it seemed that it had lost its power source long ago.

"It's really exquisite." Xingcai got closer, and through the slightly transparent body, she could see many ancient runes directly engraved inside, which made her, who didn't understand anything at all, feel pleasing to the eye and wanted to study it.

Gu Zheng walked towards another humanoid puppet on the ground, and after clearing the snow off its body, he found that only half of its body was lying on the ground, still motionless. The only difference was that there was no big hole on its chest, but it was completely gone from the waist down.

"Mr. Gu, it seems that this place has been breached like the others." Xingcai turned around and gave up studying the puppet. She didn't understand it at all, so why waste time.

"Yes, let's leave," Gu Zheng said as she said. Just as he raised his head, his face suddenly changed, and he rushed directly towards Xingcai, grabbing Xingcai's shoulders like a whirlwind and retreating.

Xingcai couldn't figure out the situation at all. While still surprised, she saw that where she was originally, there was actually an ice spear passing from there. If Gu Zheng hadn't pulled her back in time, the ice spear would definitely pierce her heart.

The puppet, who was originally leaning against the mountain wall, opened his eyes at some point, condensed an ice spear from his hand and threw it at Xingcai's back.

Moreover, there was no sound during this action, and even the weapon did not show any killing intent during its flight. If Gu Zheng had not seen it, Xingcai would have been injured.

When the puppet saw Xingcai dodge, the blue runes on his body lit up again, and countless ice and snow on the ground were blown up and surrounded him. The next moment, a puppet with a full set of ice and snow armor rushed out from it.

In his hand, the snowflakes in the air condensed by themselves and formed a spear again.

Gu Zheng looked at the other party in surprise. Even at this moment, there was no breath on the other party, just like the stones next to him, a pile of lifeless stones.

"Stand back, I will deal with him, you be careful!" Gu Zheng said to Xingcai on his body, and at the same time he stood up and went up.

Looking at the other party's spear, he was not careless at all. A long sword flashed out of his hand and slashed directly at the weapon in the other party's hand.

"Dang"

A crisp sound rang out in the air. The two people's strength was evenly matched in the air. Even though Gu Zheng did not use all his strength at this time, he could still see the terrifying strength of the puppet.

Gu Zheng watched the other party throw down his weapon and pounce directly towards him in the air. A blue light condensed in his palm. The arm that seemed hard at first bent like water and smashed down on Gu Zheng's head.

Gu Zheng also raised his other hand, and a golden light flashed in his hand, and he rushed towards the other party's blue crystal fist.

"Buzz"

A blue light flashed on the opponent's fist, and the runes in his arm increased in number. A blue light the size of a wrist shot out from above, streaking through the air at extremely fast speeds with frost.

At such a close distance, almost at the same time as seeing the blue light, the light had already reached Gu Zheng's fist.

"Just in time!"

Gu Zheng couldn't feel the pressure at all from there. It was certain that the other party was interfering with him. The strength in his hand strengthened again. As the golden light on the fist flashed again, the blue light was blocked by Gu Zheng before it could take effect. It was broken and collided with the opponent's arm.

There was a loud "bang" sound.

Gu Zheng's fist was shattering, accompanied by blue ice crystals, and finally hit the opponent's shoulder.

Xingcai saw the puppet that had lost half of its body. The body flew out directly. With a flash in the air, it was embedded in the side of the valley. It stirred up a large amount of snow and fell from it, causing a wave of white waves.

Gu Zheng did not pursue it, but frowned and looked at the palm of his hand. A layer of blue light spread out between his fists towards himself, and a biting chill similar to the outside penetrated towards his arm.

Layers of blue frost continued to freeze on his arms, and he felt that his whole arm was a little stiff.

A layer of flame suddenly burned from his arm, and the blue frost was instantly evaporated.

"Huhu"

At this time, the wind and snow in the sky suddenly increased, and the wind and snow outside were attracted by a mysterious force. In Gu Zheng's eyes, they all rushed towards the location of the puppet over there.

The Hesitation Puppet has no life form, and Gu Zheng doesn't know the opponent's current situation, but thinking about the armor formed by condensed snowflakes just now, he also knows that the opponent manipulates the wind and snow to heal himself.

Thinking of this, he rushed over again. He was still halfway, and the long sword in his hand was thrown directly in an instant.

"Rumble"

In the middle of the blizzard, a violent explosion sounded, completely shattering the blizzard.

Gu Zheng waved his hand, and a strong wind rose, blowing away all the splashing snow particles, revealing the situation below.

At this time, the puppet had been blown into several pieces, and its head was blown to another place. At the heart, a long sword with glittering golden light was inserted into the ground, half of the sword body was not in the ground, and there were several more beside it. Shattered body fragments.

"The strength and skill of this puppet are average. It should be a large-scale production. If you fight alone, it may only have the strength of the late Jinxian, and maybe it won't be able to beat the late Jinxian." Gu Zheng took a few steps forward. After crushing a few blue crystal stones, he pulled out his long sword and said to Xingcai.

"This thing should be a puppet used to guard the door. There may be something stronger inside. You must know that in the black dragon's lair, judging from his cultivation level, he will not have some low-level guards. We should be careful." Xingcai came over here and said to Gu Zheng.

"I know, but I thought this thing was broken. I didn't expect it could still move. It seems I have to be more careful in the future." Gu Zheng agreed with Xingcai's point of view. You can't be careless here.

At this moment, Xingcai's expression changed, and the orb in his hand flew behind Gu Zheng like a meteor.

"Bang"

Gu Zheng looked along the orb and saw a blue head appearing behind him unconsciously. Its eyes actually lit up and he wanted to sneak attack on him.

But he had no chance. Before the opponent's attack could be launched, the orb directly hit it, and his whole head was smashed into pieces like tofu.

"bite"

A blue crystal core popped out of the opponent's head, and before it hit the ground, Gu Zheng reached out and sucked it in.

"Isn't this the same crystal core that my father took out?" Xingcai said curiously after recalling the weapon, approaching Gu Zheng.

"It should be different. It's just that this should be the driving core of the opponent. It seems that it is hidden in the head to control this body. If it does not destroy the opponent, it will never die." Gu Zheng came to the half-length puppet and touched it with his feet. With a slight push, there was a hole behind the opponent's head, and the core inside was long gone.

"Let's go, don't waste any more time here."

After Gu Zheng finished speaking, he walked towards the valley, and Xingcai followed behind him, but she had already taken out her weapon.

Her cultivation here is indeed a bit weak. Even the lowest level puppet has similar strength to her, which makes her feel a little nervous.

"If someone wants to hurt you, they have to go through me." Gu Zheng could see her nervousness. Without Xingba's protection, she would inevitably feel a little uneasy.

Although Gu Zheng is very powerful, compared to Xing Ba, there is still at least hundreds of Gu Zheng behind. There is no comparison between the two.

Even with Gu Zheng's comfort, Xingcai still couldn't completely calm down. However, Gu Zheng's words at least gave her some peace of mind. There was a layer of safer protection. At least Da Luo was much safer.

The higher the two people went up, the higher the terrain became, just like a very flat hillside.

Moreover, the densely packed buildings inside were all crowded together, but most of them were damaged. Gu Zheng and Xingcai also picked up a few halls that looked slightly complete and went in. As a result, there was nothing except some garbage.

Those broken magic weapons that can't even be refurbished cannot be refurbished, but they don't take up much space when they are carried around.

After seeing that this place had been looted, Gu Zheng and the others also searched again, but they just took the time to continue on their way.

Soon the buildings behind were forgotten and they came to a road going up the mountain.

"Is there a formation to leave here?" Xingcai looked behind them. They looked inside and didn't find anything strange.

"I can feel a force above, it should be a teleportation formation." Gu Zheng concentrated his mind and sensed it. He could vaguely feel a strong force. Judging from the breath, it should be a teleportation formation.

The pressure of the mind here was too strong, almost destroying their consciousness.

"Then let's go up quickly!" Xingcai behind him urged.
