Chapter 1838

"Soul Stone Mine?"

Gu Zheng listened to what the other party said and frowned.

"Yes, I once escorted some mining people and came here. Although it is a few years ago, I still remember it correctly."

The man who knew this place said somewhat unconfidently.

"Then when was the last time you came here?" Gu Zheng asked casually.

"It's been thousands of years, but the place is sparsely populated and the mineral veins are relatively messy, so it probably hasn't changed much." The man said with some confidence.

This place is different from any other place. No one has passed through this place for thousands of years. There are too many places here.

"Do you know about other places?" Gu Zheng thought for a moment and asked again.

"I don't know. After all, this side already belongs to the border of exploration. There is basically nothing outside. We won't go there, but I can take everyone back."

"Gu Zheng, why don't we go to the Soul Stone Mine first? I've heard that although it's a little small, there are still manpower stationed there. We can go back to the human side to rest together. If there's anything wrong with you, We can talk about it when we get there," Tietou said from the side.

"That's fine. I'm mainly here to find people. I have to go anyway." Gu Zheng nodded in agreement.

No matter where Pan Xuan landed, he would subconsciously look for a gathering place where humans and demons gathered, and there was a chance that the soul alliance would be there. As for the demon souls, they probably wouldn't go there.

"That's best. We also have a topographic map here. Although ordinary people don't have the opportunity to get it, I think you can definitely get it. With it, at least you won't get lost and it will be convenient to go anywhere."

Tietou stopped, understood what Gu Zheng meant, and said immediately.

"Okay, let's set off now and go to the soul stone mine first."

The group of people immediately changed direction, and under the leadership of that person, flew quickly towards the edge of the circle.

"We have to go to the Soul Stone Mine, otherwise all of us will have almost no fighting power, and it will be terrible if we encounter danger."

They move quickly on the ground when they are on the road, because the danger in the sky is too high. You don't know where an attack will come from and knock you down, but you are not safe on the ground.

The only flaw is that it may not be as fast as in the sky.

"Why do you say that?"

Hearing Tietou's message, Gu Zheng went back to the past.

"You also know that we are in a special situation. We usually need to recover ourselves. Even though we have recovered now, in fact they are just flowery and will break at the touch of a touch."

Tietou knew that Gu Zheng was here for the first time and explained to them in detail.

When I was inside the Black Tower before, I only briefly talked about the outside. At that time, the hope of leaving there was so slim. In addition, the ancient struggle was about to enter the test, so there was basically no introduction.

"Just like outside, we usually have to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once the consumption is too large, we have to recover. But here, we have to recover. The speed is only one-tenth of that outside. Not only is the speed slow, but more importantly, we cannot move. But The soul stone mine solves this problem, just like different pills, you can directly inhale the energy inside to restore yourself, the difference is just how much."

"So that's it. No wonder everyone is so excited." Gu Zheng nodded suddenly.

If according to what Tietou said, there really were a few stray thieves, they might not be able to defeat one of them with so many people, and of course they would be frightened because they didn't feel safe.

They have been absorbed in the Black Tower for so many years and have basically bottomed out. They can still rush on their way. After all, the consumption is too low and can basically be ignored.

Even if there is Gu Zheng, it cannot make them settle down. After all, Gu Zheng is willing to take care of them, and it is impossible for everyone to take care of them. It is better to rely on oneself.

"Tietou, after you go back this time, I will forgive you, and I will never hunt you down again."

During the boring journey, Yingxi suddenly said to Tietou.

"Hey, that's not okay. I haven't forgiven you yet, so I'll hunt you down."

As soon as Tietou stopped, he immediately shook his head and said.

"You deserve to die!"

Yingxi paused and showed an angry expression, then he accelerated and rushed forward, no longer caring about Tietou.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Zheng felt that there was something strange between them before, and it was even more strange when he saw it here.

"It's nothing, we came down together, we have some grudges!" Tietou touched his bare head and said a little embarrassedly.

"What happened?"

Hearing this, Gu Zheng became even more curious and couldn't help but ask.

"She and I were fighting over something, and then someone followed her, and then we ended up here together."

Hearing Tietou's answer, Gu Zheng was speechless. He was an enemy before his feelings.

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng still felt that he didn't want to ask the other party.

Afterwards, in addition to taking necessary rest, they rushed towards the Soul Stone Mine day and night.

Outside, everyone feels unsafe except for Gu Zheng.

"Hurry up, hurry up, today is the best opportunity to prepare, hurry up."

After a low climb, a group of people gathered, and a fat leader shouted loudly from above.

Under him, there were nearly fifty people, most of whom were already looking up quietly.

"We have been planning this plan for many days. This time the other party's guards transported the last soul stones away, but at least there are still a lot of them that have not been transported out, and we are here to help them. If we miss this opportunity, we will I have to drink northwest wind for a while, do you understand?”

The leader said passionately from above.

"clear!"

The people below said in a noisy manner, and everyone looked excited.

They are a group of gangsters, mostly humans and a small number of monsters, but they all have the same identity now and make a living by fighting.

Of course, they mainly fight on the human side, and also go outside to fight other gangsters.

But they also need Soul Stone, which is a good thing that can be replenished in battle. No matter who it is, they need it very much.

But they didn't need the refined soul stone. The value of that thing would be hundreds of times higher and they couldn't grab it. They would be satisfied with ordinary soul ore.

Some time ago, after the brother hiding in the city learned that all outside humans were going back, he had an idea in his mind.

First of all, the soul stone mine here is the most remote and of the worst quality. It is just used to make up the numbers. There are only a few guards. Even if they were able to break through it before, the gain is not worth the loss. The loss is not small. The gain is too small and it can also cause the patrols to attack. Pay attention, then their life will be difficult.

Even if you are not careful, you can be kicked out and run into the deserted wilderness to look for lone people and demon souls. Although there may be surprises, it is too unstable.

Unlike here, there are abundant resources. Even if they can't grab them, they won't suffer much loss. There is black mist-like black energy all over the mountains, which is enough to replenish them.

Why do you think they came out to rob?

If you don't come out, you will have endless work to do, and the pay will not be much. How can you be carefree and free outside? It is much better than inside, but your head is just hanging on the waistband of your pants.

Everyone here has died once, so who is afraid of whom?

"Today is the last day for the other party to pack their things. We seize the time to ambush them. The other party will never think that anyone is still thinking about them. At least this time, after we eat it, we will hide it honestly and wait for them to come out after the battle. I’m telling you once, if you can’t help it, don’t kill, just inflict heavy damage on the other side.”

The leader above repeatedly gave instructions.

Murder is different from robbery. Everyone here is precious. If you rob something, the other party may not pursue it. If you kill someone, your life will be difficult. Someone will accept a bounty to kill them, and even colleagues in the industry are working part-time. .

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiu, we still want to live. The other side is just some civilians. They can't hurt us even if they stand still. We can take down those guards even if we try hard to inflict heavy damage on them."

The person below shouted as soon as the wine boss finished speaking, causing everyone to agree.

Although they are not afraid of death, they are not seeking death either. There is nothing wrong with living.

It’s not like everyone has just arrived, they are all experienced and understand the truth.

"That's good, everyone come out with me and follow my command." The wine boss nodded with satisfaction and shouted to everyone.

Then the group of people set off towards the distance under his leadership.

They are still some distance away from there, and they still have to find a good opportunity.

A day later, they gathered in the distance. A small covering formation blocked them all, but some people with flexible legs and feet had already gone to inquire about it, leaving them here waiting anxiously.

After a certain amount of time, the men who were sent out finally came back. After rushing in, they whispered excitedly.

"It's time to move!"

"We should be arriving soon."

After more than ten days of traveling, Gu Zheng looked at the mountains in the distance and said to Tietou next to him.

"It should be that soul stone mines are usually found in mountain peaks or underground. The one in front of us is most likely our destination. Once we get there, after taking a rest, we can go back with peace of mind." Tietou nodded. said.

They had good luck along the way. They didn't encounter any enemies or the weird weather. After a while, they arrived at the Soul Stone Mine.

There is a name here, but no one knows it, so it can only be replaced by the soul stone mine.

Everyone was also a little excited. After all, they were frightened along the way. It was so uncomfortable that their fate could not be controlled in their own hands.

"Everyone, hurry up and take a rest at the front." Upon seeing this, Gu Zheng said immediately speeding up.

The speed of the group immediately increased a lot. Previously, because they followed Gu Zheng, and Gu Zheng was still practicing the Glaze Pure Fire with Xiaoniao, the speed was slower, otherwise they could have arrived a few days earlier.

However, when they approached there, everyone suddenly slowed down again. Then you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally focused on Gu Zheng.

There were waves of fighting coming from the mountain peak. Although it was not very obvious, after approaching here, everyone discovered it, and naturally Gu Zheng also discovered it.

"You stay here, I will give you a concealment formation, wait for me to take a look."

Although he didn't know what was going on inside, Gu Zheng still made a decision immediately and said to them.

"Gu Zheng, if someone asks you who you are, just say captain of the patrol. I guess the other party must be a bandit. If he dares to come here, he must have someone to rely on. This way the other party will be afraid and may retreat." Tietou also knows that he He couldn't help much, but he said it anyway.

"Well, I'll come as soon as I go."

Gu Zheng understood Tietou's meaning. After setting a simple spell to conceal their breath, he immediately jumped and flew towards the mountain.

However, he fell down just after flying up. He was too arrogant. The other party might discover his existence at a glance. Gu Zheng remembered that he had a temporary mount. It was time for the other party to appear.

A white horse suddenly appeared below, just for Gu Zheng who had fallen to ride on it. Then, without Gu Zheng's instructions, it accelerated and rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared in the distance, leaving only a white dot.

"Is that Gu Zheng's spirit beast? It's really not an ordinary one. I'm sure that the other party is a top-notch figure even if he is on top."

Looking at the white horse that suddenly appeared, Tietou and the others' eyes widened, and then Tietou said slowly.

The people behind him nodded silently, and they were even more moved. Although it was the first time they saw it, they knew that the spirit beast was of high grade. They had never seen it on top, but they saw it once on the bottom.

"As expected of a human who broke into this place for the first time. You humans are really powerful. Without three points of effort, you dare not come to such a dangerous place. But who is the other party looking for?" A demon clan murmured.

Although the voice was small, everyone heard it clearly.

Thinking that the other party broke into this place alone, it was really powerful, but when I thought about Gu Zheng coming here in a human body, and then thinking about the spirit beast, it didn't seem so shocking. God knows what the other party has.

Gu Zheng's side was flying all the way, the speed was extremely fast, and it felt that the white horse below had not been fully exerted, but it had already reached its usual speed. If it was at full strength, it would be unimaginable. He said in his heart that he had picked up a treasure.

There was a small forest under the mountain, which was different from the black wood outside. Many trees were shining with silver light. There were also silver leaves on the branches, hanging on them with silver light, which was very beautiful.

However, this silver wood tree is not very useful except for its beauty. The trees and leaves are poisonous. Fortunately, it only grows in special places. Generally, it can be found in places where there are soul mines.

Gu Zheng rode his white horse through here smoothly, and his speed did not slow down at all. But suddenly, with a light tap from Gu Zheng, the fast-moving white horse stopped immediately, and there was no buffer at all, just standing there, and even Gu Zheng on his body did not feel anything unusual.

It was only when a gust of wind it brought blew past, making the silverwood trees beside it rustle, that we knew how fast the other party was.

"Don't run, kid, I won't be polite if you run again."

A shout came from far ahead, full of anger, as if catching someone.

Unfortunately, no one responded to his words, but the running footsteps gradually approached Gu Zheng.

"Don't be polite to the other party, a little girl, if the other party is running, just hit the other party directly, the cultivation is not high, but the speed is quite fast."

Another voice sounded in the air, obviously a little impatient.

Gu Zheng stood quietly in place, the movement in front of him was louder, and it was obvious that it would soon come to him, and the white horse under him was also very well-behaved and did not make any sound.

Soon, a smaller figure in front of her flew towards this side quickly from the front. While running quickly, he kept looking back. His rapid breathing could be heard from a long distance. Obviously, he had already run quite a distance.

Not far behind her, two figures were chasing closely, but they were not familiar with the terrain here. Their speed was slightly faster, but the distance was not shortened.

Neither of them noticed Gu Zheng's existence. In fact, with their strength, even if Gu Zheng stood on the other side and didn't want the other party to see him, the other party couldn't see him at all.

"We can't let the other party run away. The other party must have a rescue signal on him. Prepare to take action. If he dies, he dies."

Seeing that they were about to leave the Silver Wood Forest soon, it seemed that they could not catch him before then. The second voice sounded again, full of urgency.

As long as the other party sent out a rescue signal, even if they caught him, the consequences could be predicted.

"Okay!"

The first one didn't hesitate this time and agreed directly.

As soon as the voice fell, a black light appeared in the second man's hand, and then he threw it forward and rushed towards the girl in front.

The girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a pretty face full of toughness. Seeing the opponent's attack from behind, her eyes were full of despair.

The opponent had set up an isolation formation around her, and the distress signal inside could not be sent out. She took the risk to come out, otherwise she could not block the opponent's wolf-like attack.

She had tried very hard to get rid of them, but the gap in strength was too big. She only had the cultivation of a celestial being. She thought she could take advantage of the opponent's inattention to go out, but who would have thought that there were people outside who were always watching her.

Even if the opponent was weak, he had the cultivation of a golden fairy, not to mention that the opponent was a bandit. If he wanted to kill her, he could kill her with just one finger.

Seeing the opponent's attack, the small body twisted even more. Even if there was little hope now, she wanted to avoid the opponent's attack, just to pass the message out.

"Boom"

An explosion sounded next to her. When the black light approached the girl, it strangely passed by and landed next to her.

"What did you do? Did you miss it?" The first person complained.

"Impossible, let's attack together, maybe there is something strange about the opponent." The second person was also surprised. How could this attack, which was originally sure to hit, suddenly leave inexplicably, but he still said.

This time, the two people attacked at the same time, and in order to ensure a one-shot kill, they increased the power. If they were killed, what else would they worry about.

"This time I'm dead!"

Feeling the power behind her, the girl panicked and tripped and flew out, she thought to herself.

Two attacks flew over in a blink of an eye, and when they were about to fall on the girl who fell to the ground, a golden shield suddenly protected her.

"Who? Come out? Sneaky!"

The two people saw this and immediately understood that someone was making trouble. They searched for the other party's traces and shouted loudly.

At this time, Gu Zheng came over slowly on a white horse with a serious face, which made them suddenly nervous and looked at Gu Zheng cautiously.

However, the latter didn't even look at the two bandits directly, but came to the girl's side and asked in a deep voice.

There was a complex expectation on his face.

"What's your name?"

The woman was a little confused, but she also knew that the other party had saved her, so she quickly stood up and replied respectfully.

"My name is Youyou!"
