Chapter 1745
As the light flashed on Gu Zheng's side, the five of them appeared in a forest. The sun was shining brightly above their heads, and a breeze came out, feeling very cool.
"The scenery here looks very good. This is the underground palace you mentioned." Xiaoying looked around. Except for the lack of insects and birds, it looked like a forest.
"Of course it is. This is just the top layer. There is almost nothing on this layer. The place to enter the lower layer is in the center, but we need to remove some miasma on this layer. There is no danger. You two remove the miasma here, and we will go directly down."
As he spoke, Zhou Xuan pointed at the two people and said, at the same time, the white ball in his hand, like an inner elixir, split into five evenly distributed small white balls and sent them to each of them.
The two nodded, indicating that they understood. After receiving the two white balls, they flew to one side.
"Are they okay like this?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and asked.
"It's okay. There's nothing on this floor. People who come in must be disappointed because the things that really appeal to them are all placed below, and there are very few of them. After all, this is just a temporary transmission channel, and it's built by humans. How can there be good things?" Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"So, their coming in is still helpful to us." Xiaoying said on the side.
"Not really, after all, we need to clean up those things. My companions and I could have cleaned them up slowly before going in, but now it's not possible. Gu Zheng, you must go down first, because you can only teleport once, so you must speed up from the third floor." Zhou Xuan began to fly in one direction and explained at the same time.
Gu Zheng nodded, knowing that it was because the teleportation array could only be opened once, and of course there was also the unknown enemy, who would definitely snatch them together in the dark.
The four figures continued to fly forward, and they could also sense other people around them, who were also looking for treasures here, and even met some people on the way, but when the other party saw them gathered together, they didn't say anything, and ran away, fearing that they would be left behind by Gu Zheng and the others.
They would not provoke these scattered people. After all, the other party is now the thug they are cleaning up. Even if they don't want to, they can help them more or less.
In just a cup of tea, Gu Zheng and his group came to a huge open space, but it was obvious that they were not the first to arrive. A dozen scattered people were already here, looking at an empty black hole in the middle.
The black hole in the middle was as big as a house, and it was bottomless below, and it even revealed a frightening wave.
"This is the so-called entrance to the bottom. Why does it look so scary? Who would be stupid enough to jump down?" Xiaoying stretched her head and looked forward and said.
"Hungry, why is this entrance closed? It seems that the other party is still in a deep sleep. I will wake him up." Zhou Xuan said a little embarrassedly, and at the same time took out his little white ball, a blue light rose in his hand, and then he inserted it directly.
His eyes were closed, and he was still mumbling something in his mouth, as if he was contacting the other party.
Soon, a green light flashed in the dark and scary cave entrance, removing all the darkness, and a green vortex slowly appeared below.
"Okay, the creature has awakened, and the filthy things will come out. I was wondering why there was no miasma on the road." Zhou Xuan put away the little white ball and said.
"What exactly is that creature?" Xiaoying looked down at the chaos in front of her and asked Zhou Xuan.
"I forgot to tell you, it was an extremely huge tree spirit, and its cultivation was at the middle stage of Daluo. The trees we saw were the surface of the other party's body. I don't know why they were caught by the other party and used as stepping stones. However, the other party has only cultivation, but its fighting power is too weak. Now it is extremely weak, otherwise it would not rely on us." Zhou Xuan said to Xiaoying.
"Tree demon, but why don't we go down first? According to what you said, the other party will definitely not go in before the third floor, so it's not appropriate to waste time like this." Gu Zheng smiled, as if he realized something, and then said.
"Okay, then let's go down, and there's no need to wait for them." Zhou Xuan agreed.
Under the surprised eyes of those people, Gu Zheng and his team jumped straight into the green vortex and disappeared in front of them.
Soon someone jumped down in a very good manner.
And Gu Zheng and his team appeared directly in a tunnel after their bodies became light and heavy.
"Hey, we actually passed the second floor and came here directly. It seems that there is no danger in that place anymore."
As soon as he came down and saw the illusion around him clearly, Zhou Xuan said in surprise.
"Have we come directly to the third place?" Gu Zheng also looked around.
At this time, they were in an extremely long underground tunnel, surrounded by yellow walls, and a layer of light green light was shining on it, allowing people to see a certain distance clearly.
Behind them was a dead end, blocked by a wall. As Gu Zheng spoke, he groped his way upwards and found that the stone wall was incredibly hard. At least it would take a lot of effort for Daluo to make a hole in it at once, which basically eliminated the way to break it open by force.
"Yes, this is the space tunnel leading to the third place, and it is also the longest passage. I only know that there is a very powerful formation in the depths. Only those who pass the test can go to the fourth place, and then go to the fourth place. Go to the fifth place at the end," Zhou Xuan said. After all, she only entered the second floor, and everything after that was filled with books.
Gu Zheng knew that the second location was actually a grassland area, not too strange, and the third location was different for everyone, but it was not like a maze, with dead ends everywhere, and some big , and there are also some traps, and of course more of them are filthy things stored on the tree spirits.
"Let's go first. This is the most time-consuming place. Only by leaving here quickly can you restore your cultivation. Only then will you be more confident." Gu Zheng felt the situation in his body and said to them.
At this time, under an unknown force, he was unable to reach his original strength at all. In fact, this meant that his strength had been weakened by more than 70%. Even so, he was only a tier stronger than the Golden Immortal Peak. Even so, , Gu Zheng also felt that there was nothing hindering him in front of him.
After all, there are no powerful enemies in this place.
Everyone nodded and followed Gu Zheng towards the front.
After only walking a short distance through this passage, we encountered an intersection where we couldn't see the corners if we looked at both sides.
"Okay, it seems we have to explore a bit." Gu Zheng walked directly to the right, not moving forward at all.
The final departure point was not in the middle, but generally a little to the right. But here, even Gu Zheng couldn't tell the direction and could only fumble a little bit.
Now, except for the faint sound of their footsteps, there is no sound around. Everyone is holding their breath and concentrating, alerting the surroundings to beware of the enemies here.
After walking for less than half a cup of tea, when they were walking in a passage, suddenly there was a sharp scream, and on the surrounding walls, a lot of green liquid quickly condensed, almost in the blink of an eye, one by one. Green slime-like balls popped out of the walls.
Their bodies were like jelly, shaking constantly, and the harsh sound was the sound made by their bodies being squeezed continuously.
While they were taking precautions here, they were already surrounded by dense green balls on their front, back, left and right.
"This is the filth in his body, but his strength is not very strong." Zhou Xuan said to everyone when the other party appeared.
"You can see that." Gu Zheng didn't even take out his weapon, he just waved it forward, and a strong wind roared forward.
In the blink of an eye, the green balls that were blocking the passage just now turned into pieces of green liquid and lay on the ground again. However, they did not die. Instead, they began to gather again, and under the eyes of Gu Zheng and the others, they returned to their original state again. , as if those injuries could not hurt the other party at all.
"Can't they be killed?" Xiaoying pointed towards the back, and a Buddha's light emerged from her hand, forming a golden light barrier, blocking the passage behind. Looking at the opposite side, it was like pieces of pancakes, covered all over, Xiaoying Ying couldn't help but ask.
"Fire is enough. Any flame quality can kill the opponent." Zhou Xuan said quickly.
No one felt any nervousness at all. The aura of these green balls was only around the mid-level of immortality, and there was no threat at all.
After hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Gu Zheng's left wrist lit up with red light, and a red flame emitted again, like a fire storm, rushing through the passage in front of him.
This time, the green balls completely disappeared in front of them, leaving only a little residual green liquid on the ground.
Seeing this, Xiaoying from the back murmured a few words in a dignified manner, and large golden flames suddenly appeared from the Buddha's light behind, covering the green balls that were approaching.
In the blink of an eye, the area behind was clear. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining green balls immediately jumped towards the wall, seemingly trying to escape.
But a ray of flame followed closely behind them, burning them all into ashes without fail.
"Gu Zheng, these green balls are not worth mentioning. This time we are left here to help each other clean up, and the companions behind us will follow after cleaning up. Let's separate next. I don't know the following information. Can I’ve told you everything.”
Just when Gu Zheng wanted to move on, Zhou Xuan behind him spoke.
"Aren't you going down together?" Xiaoying followed closely and said in surprise when she saw Zhou Xuan standing there without speaking.
"No, if we clean up all the filth here, then this tree spirit promises us to help us. Besides, we can only hold back our ability to fight with the past." Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
"Okay, if that's the case, let's move on. Be careful." Gu Zheng looked at the meaning in the other person's eyes and understood.
Since Gu Zheng is willing to help them, the opportunity to teleport will definitely be given to him. It seems that the teleportation ability is limited, otherwise he would not leave with them.
"Don't worry, it's more than enough to protect yourself. After all, those people looking for that ethereal treasure will definitely look down." Zhou Xuan said with certainty.
After saying that, Zhou Xuan led her men and walked in the other direction.
"Sister Xingcai's mother is much more decisive than her, but such a big place may really take a lot of time." Xiaoying watched the other party leave and said to Gu Zheng.
"Well, let's go. Anyway, I can't forgive Wen Tianhou. Everything before was caused by him. This time, I will see what he is up to." Gu Zheng snorted coldly.
"Yes, his subordinates killed my grandfather. I must avenge my grandfather and Master Wuxiang." Xiaoying clenched her hands, thinking that her grandfather was trapped for so long and still couldn't escape death in the end, and she couldn't help but say angrily.
"Don't be sad, let's avenge your grandfather together. Now let's go, leave this underground palace quickly, and kill into the enemy's abdomen. No matter what the other party does, we must destroy it all." Gu Zheng touched Xiaoye's head, felt the other party's anger, and persuaded.
"Well" Xiaoying felt the warmth in Gu Zheng's hand and nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng took Xiaoying to continue to explore forward, looking for the exit here.
At this time, more and more people from above began to descend in. They also appeared directly on the third floor. After arriving in this strange place, they also quickly looked for the exit of the next floor outside.
At this time, they had no doubts at all. After all, the deeper the treasure is hidden, the better it is. How can you find it just by entering? That would make people unbelievable.
Such a complicated maze, and the green balls blocking them along the way, made them more determined. There are many things below, and they are more enthusiastic to find them together.
Even if they met people who came in at the same time, they consciously separated and did not make any disputes at all. Some even formed temporary teams to explore this place together.
In the originally quiet passage, bursts of explosions began to sound from time to time, but soon died down. Those green balls were no match for this group of tigers and wolves. Even if they were a little weird, they were soon eliminated by those people, and indirectly helped Zhou Xuan clean up these debris.
"Huh? What is that?"
Gu Zheng and Xiao Ying were speeding in the passage. Even if there were some obstacles of green liquid, they did not take action to deal with it. They just quickly looked for the exit. However, after walking into a passage as usual, they found that it was a dead end. When they were about to leave, they suddenly heard an unusual sound.
"What? Is there anything different here?" Xiaoying had been following Gu Zheng, but when she saw him suddenly stop and grope towards the wall, she asked with some confusion.
"I seemed to hear a hint of unusual movement just now, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye." Gu Zheng stopped his movements again and listened quietly, but still found nothing.
"Really? Why didn't I hear it, and didn't even feel anything wrong." Xiaoying also came over and listened carefully, but unfortunately she didn't hear anything suspicious, but there was a faint explosion outside, which came clearly.
"Bang bang"
Xiaoying knocked hard with her little fist again, but still didn't find anything, so she asked.
"I'm sure I'm not mistaken, there must be something behind this, maybe a way to leave? It could also be something else." Although Gu Zheng was sure that he hadn't heard it wrong, he didn't know what it was.
"Then try to open it violently. Even if this wall is thick, it can always be opened." Xiaoying said indifferently, and at the same time took out a sharp spear, and it seemed that she was ready to open it violently.
"Then how long do we have to wait? This wall is so hard that even if I try my best, I may not be able to break through much, let alone now. Wait, something is going on." Gu Zheng said as he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arms and said hurriedly.
A glowing inner pill was taken out from Gu Zheng's arms, and it was emitting a clear light at this time.
Seeing this, Xiaoying also took out her own things and found that a slight heat was coming from it, and it was also slightly shining, but not as bright as Gu Zheng.
"It seems that there is something mysterious inside." Gu Zheng felt that the reaction in his hand seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. He took a few steps back and the light in his hand began to fade.
"This passage is not long, and you can see the end at a glance. There are no green balls in it. Basically, no one will come here. If we didn't miss any traces, if you didn't hear the sound, we would have left." Xiaoying carefully analyzed this on the side, and at the same time suspended the white ball in her hand directly in the air to see if it would react.
"Yes, it is true. You are really smart." Gu Zheng praised Xiaoying.
Xiaoying smiled a little embarrassedly. At this moment, a white light suddenly rose in the passage. The strong and dazzling light made them close their eyes subconsciously, but then they opened their eyes and looked at the dazzling place.
The white ball in front of Xiaoying was directly attached to the dead end wall under an unknown force. At the same time, a white vortex slowly emerged on it.
However, as the light quickly decreased, the vortex seemed to be shrinking very quickly. Just as Gu Zheng and his friends were observing, the white vortex that originally occupied most of the wall had shrunk by half.
"Let's talk about it after we go in."
Gu Zheng immediately shouted at Xiaoying, then flew inside at a high speed, picked up Xiaoying's body, and directly hit it, disappearing in the vortex.
After Gu Zheng and the others disappeared, some people who were close by also came quickly from the surroundings. Unfortunately, what was left for them was an empty passage. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any clues and could only leave with regret.
But the only thing they were sure of was that maybe some lucky person had found something good, or maybe he had already taken it and left, which made them more convinced that there were still places for them to explore.
As the news spread, everyone's enthusiasm became higher, and they began to look around carefully, even in the corners that they had disdained to enter before.
However, as those people searched carefully, many people really found some things, some good and some bad. Those were things left over from the space, and were sucked in when this part of the tree spirit was constructed.
