Chapter 1800
This stay lasted for most of the day.
Gu Zheng soaked in the water and kept recovering his strength until he walked to the back.
When he was resting, he had already observed the surroundings. There were only mountain walls beside him, and there was no way out at all. However, he vaguely found something different behind the waterfall.
However, this location was too far away from that place, and it was a little hard to see clearly, so Gu Zheng walked towards that place when he felt it was about time.
Walking in from the impact of the water flow, he found a small groove at the back, and a wooden door was firmly embedded in the mountain wall. However, to Gu Zheng's surprise, there was a wooden latch facing him, as if to prevent the things inside from coming out.
Wading in the stream, Gu Zheng moved forward with a little effort, and soon came to the wooden door. After twisting the latch, he pushed the door open, revealing the narrow passage inside. Candles had been lit inside, reflecting on the water surface that was submerged in the thighs. The light reflected around, making the entire passage without a trace of darkness or danger.
In the distance, there was also a wooden door.
As he moved forward, Gu Zheng thought that if his prediction was correct, these candles were also made by the black cat, and they seemed to help the other party in key places, otherwise they would be more difficult and almost impossible to move forward.
And the power here is obviously much stronger than that over there, at least over there you have to light them one by one, while this side is already fully lit, and can even deliberately send the underground to you, although it was discovered by the other party in the end.
Its purpose is for these people to help it, but who is the enemy of it, and why do you want to capture so many demon souls, this is something Gu Zheng has never figured out.
Because there is too little information in hand, it seems that you can only talk about it from above. If the other party can really help you, then it doesn't matter if you help the other party, although in fact, these candles and the remaining props, as well as the resting point, have helped him a lot.
Even if Gu Zheng is unwilling, he actually owes the other party some favors. Gu Zheng is actually willing to do so.
After opening three doors in succession and walking through a long passage, Gu Zheng found that he had unknowingly come to a spacious cave, but he was still in shallow water.
The first thing he saw was a golden key on a boulder in the middle that was slightly above the water surface. It was extremely conspicuous. In addition, there was a white and red crystal stone next to it, which looked like a tonic for Gu Zheng.
And in the innermost part, there was also a golden door that was shining with golden light, the same as the one he entered at the beginning.
"So all the benefits are here. If I take the elixir in the middle and become stronger, it won't be so laborious to cross the rapids." Gu Zheng looked in front of him and thought with some satisfaction.
While thinking, he walked towards the middle. He didn't know what the door next to him was. He felt that there should be other paths, maybe other places leading here.
Soon Gu Zheng came to the side of the boulder. As long as he stretched out his hand, he could easily collect the things on it.
And he had already done so, reaching out his hand towards the golden key, but he suddenly stopped halfway and said to himself.
"Let me see where the door leads to, or whether there are good things inside."
Gu Zheng said this, and then his figure retreated towards the wooden door behind him, but under his palm, waves sounded on the way there, just like the way he walked just now, approaching the door.
When the waves came to the wooden door, Gu Zheng also retreated here, but what surprised Gu Zheng was that there was no movement from the wooden door, as if Gu Zheng was just making a fuss.
"Am I feeling wrong? Impossible, the water waves coming from there must be a little weird." Gu Zheng frowned first and distinguished carefully, but he could no longer sense the touch here, and then he said to himself.
Gu Zheng's figure did not move, and the waves over there also disappeared. After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
Just stretching out his hand, a black mist spread from Gu Zheng's body, and finally stretched into a straight line, and the front turned into a black palm, grabbing the key of the boulder.
At the moment the key was touched, a series of black tentacles-like creatures suddenly drilled out from the seemingly ordinary stone wall above the boulder, and the length was just vertical on the water surface, just surrounding the boulder.
As soon as they appeared, they kept looking for enemies in all directions, but a wisp of black mist had already retracted in the gap of the opponent, and did not stop the key from leaving at all.
"Crack"
At the same time as the key left, the door that Gu Zheng felt was abnormal before was suddenly smashed directly, and a meat ball jumped out of it. It saw Gu Zheng's position at a glance, and instantly shrank into a sphere and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
Half of the body was under the water, like a sharp sword, drawing a white line on the water surface, and even set off a large piece of water splash, rushing towards Gu Zheng rapidly.
The speed was so fast that by the time Gu Zheng got the key in his hand, the other party had already crossed most of the distance.
Gu Zheng didn't say anything and directly closed the door with force, and at the same time quickly turned the bolt.
"Bang"
Just as he was doing all this, the wooden door in front of him made a loud noise, which startled Gu Zheng. He was so close that he could feel the violent aura of the other party. Then he turned around and ran behind him again.
He didn't think this door could stop him, so he ran towards the way he came without any effort.
According to Gu Zheng's understanding of this meat ball, as long as he avoids the opponent's sight, hides in a corner under the waterfall outside, and hides under the water flow, unless the opponent happens to come to his side, he will basically be unable to sense his existence.
Even if he swayed slightly in the water, the sound of the huge water pouring was enough to cover it up.
"Dong dong"
However, what Gu Zheng didn't expect was that he could only run to the second door. After five collisions, the wooden door was forcibly broken by the opponent's huge force. In an instant, he saw himself trying to close the door again. Then he accelerated towards this side again.
"This is too bad. It's almost time."
Gu Zheng was suddenly startled, but he did not move slowly and closed the wooden door again and ran towards the back.
At this moment, the moment Meat Ball came in, the brightness of the candle next to it suddenly increased, like small suns. A large piece of golden light emerged from the candlelight and entered Meat Ball's body, causing the body to glow with a faint glow. The black smoke seemed to be forcibly expelling the opponent.
But Meatball didn't seem to care at all, and rushed to the wooden door again. First, he hit hard with his body. Although he backed up again and hit again, it was the same as last time. After five times, the wooden door broke, revealing the other side that had just run to him. Gu Zheng on the side speeds up again.
Gu Zheng also noticed the strangeness of the candlelight, and knew in his heart that by leading the other party into the passage, as long as he delayed for a while, he would be able to stop halfway with comfort.
However, his speed is too slow and his strength is a little lower, which have two completely different consequences.
Gu Zheng ran back here, but his actions in the water were not as flexible as on land. Not only did he consume his incompletely recovered physical strength, but it also slowed down Gu Zheng's speed.
Looking at the meat ball chasing after him again, Gu Zheng calmed down. At least he still had a way, but it was a bit dangerous, but other than that, there was no other way.
When it came to the last door, Gu Zheng didn't close it at all, allowing Rouqiu, who was already sprinting halfway, to use his speed without any hindrance.
On Gu Zheng's side, the water flowing down from the sky jumped in depth, flying over the wall and moving quickly ahead. In the blink of an eye, it landed in front of the water that continued below.
However, Gu Zheng did not stop. He jumped forward again and jumped down as if committing suicide. Just as his figure fell, a galloping figure rushed out from his position, following Gu Zheng. Jump off.
However, as soon as the meat ball jumped down, he saw Gu Zheng hanging below. Although his figure was constantly shaking due to the impact of the water flow, and it seemed that he could fall at any time, a black thread in his hand was firmly attached to it. He caught him, but this black thread was already firmly connected to the wall that Gu Zheng had just walked through.
Meatball wanted to stop and continue to pursue, but the huge impact, coupled with the extremely smooth slope, caused him to skid directly into the endless void below, and he was dead.
Here Gu Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief and pulled himself up again by pulling the black thread.
"Huhu"
His body relaxed slightly, and he held his knees with both hands to support himself. Gu Zheng gasped for air, and big beads of sweat fell from his forehead. He was just a little bit away from being hit by the opponent. The result was self-evident. Metaphor.
"Fortunately, there is a good dragon, otherwise it would be miserable."
After taking a breath for a moment, Gu Zheng finally thought about it, but then he smiled bitterly. Without Shanlong, he would have swallowed the pill directly. At that time, he had no choice, and in fact, he was about to swallow it.
In that case, if his strength were one level higher, he might not be so dangerous.
But it was all worth it. Compared with the risk of his position, he would rather not take the pill. Besides, with the help of Shanlong, everything was not a near miss.
Gu Zheng could only comfort himself in this way, and then moved forward again.
When they arrived at the cave, the tentacles hanging upside down had disappeared, and the door that was next to it had also disappeared. That position was now a stone wall, as if everything was an illusion just now.
This time Gu Zheng unceremoniously took away the boulder's belongings. There was no way the other party would have an ambush. Even if there was one, it would be completely eliminated by the candlelight. After all, the black cat's power here seemed pretty good.
After picking up the key and successfully opening the door, Gu Zheng didn't bother to study whether the golden door would be locked again, and walked directly inside.
The further inside, the terrain felt higher and higher. By the time Gu Zheng completely emerged from the water, he had already reached the end.
There are no rooms or ways to other directions. There is only a red table leaning against the wall, and there is only a round mirror on it, just like the bronze mirror used by ladies to dress up. At this time It was glowing with a faint golden light.
After Gu Zheng observed for a while, he determined that the mirror should teleport him away. However, he was not in a hurry. After resting for a long time, he completely recovered his strength and then stepped forward to touch the bronze mirror.
As soon as he touched it, a strong golden light suddenly emerged from it, causing Gu Zheng to squint his eyes and see nothing but golden light.
However, the golden light came and went quickly. In just a few breaths, the golden light in his eyes had completely dispersed, and he found that he had left the bottom and came to another place.
In front of him was still the red table, on which was placed the dim bronze mirror, which had completely lost its effect. Apart from that, there was nothing else, but next to it was like a corridor, and he could see the scenery in the distance.
On the side was also a turbulent waterfall, which fell directly on the ground below. It looked like a pool, occupying a huge area below, and not far from the water was a group of buildings, which continued to go inside. It was impossible to know how big it was.
Gu Zheng saw two women dressed as maids at a glance. The two of them walked side by side along the gorgeous corridor.
But the other party was not a demon soul at all. The two people were glowing red at the same time, more like patrolling ghosts.
"What kind of ghost is this?" Gu Zheng said with a headache as he watched the other party turn and enter the corridor.
This place looks like a place for some noble people to rest, but it is not certain whether there are people living here now. Even if there are, they are probably ghosts.
But no matter what, Gu Zheng still had to move forward, and it seemed that he had to cross it.
Opening the wooden door in front of him, a straight corridor appeared in front of Gu Zheng. He also slowed down his pace and walked forward. Stepping on this obviously precious wooden board, the sound was almost absorbed, and no sound came out.
When he was halfway there, he noticed a staircase next to him, climbing up from the bottom. He looked down and could hardly see the bottom. It seemed that he had saved a lot of effort.
Gu Zheng did not stop for long, and soon came to the place where the two maids had walked before. After not hearing any sound, he walked inside.
"What, not here? Where did you go?"
On a peak, Xiaoying looked at the girl in front of her with some disappointment, and said with some disappointment.
"I don't know either. The young master has been away for a long time. After careful calculation, it has been tens of thousands of years. I have not received any message during this period." A solemn-looking woman handed over the tea she had just brewed in her hand, indicating that the other party should taste it.
"Thank you, I still have something to do, so I won't stay any longer. Thank you for your hospitality, I'll leave first." The smaller figure bowed to the other person and said goodbye.
"Princess Xiangxiang, you should go to the fog island over there. Some time ago, someone from the other side came to ask about it. It seems that I have been with their people for some time." The woman also stood up and said to her.
"Thank you, I'll go now." Xiangxiang said again, and then left the room, quickly left all the way down, and when she reached the halfway point of the mountain, she took off and flew away.
"Master, there is news over there. Do you think we are ready to move away from here?"
The woman looked at the other person's figure until it disappeared in the sky, and then she spoke lightly.
"Of course, time flies so fast. Since the other party has other ideas, and all the remaining monsters here have been completely wiped out, we still leave. This place still cannot develop. This place is handed over to you."
"Listen to the orders of the master, and the name of our Great Snow Mountain must not be insulted." The female disciple behind him said a little fanatically.
"Have you found the other party?" As Xiangxiang left the mountain, a figure appeared in the air and said to him.
"The other party is not here. I want to go to Kirishima once." Xiangxiang looked at Yuanbian and said firmly.
"You are crazy. They are looking for you. If I meet you and get caught, I can't bring you out. Besides, it is possible that the other party has left." Heishen looked at Xiangxiang with a look of crazy.
"The other party must know what I am going to do. What if the other party has a way?" Xiangxiang couldn't listen at all. As he said this, he flew away again.
"What a headache."
Hen Shen muttered and followed him. He soon disappeared in the sky. However, she had to make sure that the other party could not go back.
"Thank you very much. If it weren't for your help, we might have been wiped out."
On a battlefield that had ended, Mrs. Xue held a cute baby boy in her arms and said to Pan Xuan beside her.
"It doesn't matter. This is the other party who took the initiative to provoke me, although I don't want to take this trouble." Pan Xuan looked at the other party and said directly without hiding her thoughts.
"Haha, no matter what, you still saved us. My name is Xue Feiyao. It seems that you have also wandered here from outside. Why don't you stay with us first and let me thank you? What do you think?" Xue Feiyao looked a little embarrassed, laughed, and then said to the other party.
"Okay, I just left not long ago, and I just have nowhere to go, so I'll bother you." She smiled slightly and said immediately without much hesitation. She just happened to see where this place is and find out about Gu Zheng's information.
Pan Xuan's aura at this time has long been the same as the other party. The moment she woke up, she knew where she was. She originally wanted to go around looking for it by herself, but the other party invited her to change her mind. After all, when she was chatting with Zhu Hun and Gu Yi above, she also had a general understanding of this place, and also learned from Zhu Hun how to conceal her identity.
In addition, since Shura belonged to the dark system, the other party did not find anything suspicious and really thought she was a wandering demon soul.
"That's great. Wait for us to pack up and leave immediately. Our Cheng family definitely owes you a great favor." Madam Xue smiled and said sincerely.
Pan Xuan nodded, did not speak, and looked around.
In fact, the demon snake was not killed by them because she held back. The man was worried about Madam Xue's safety and did not stay away at all, so he let the other party leave with a considerable number of his men.
However, in this short battle, half of them were killed and injured, and a considerable number of people on the other side also died.
Soon, everyone who had packed up set off again and moved towards the predetermined destination.
