Chapter 1877
"The strength is pretty good. I'm afraid a lot of the energy accumulated over the years will appear in the black lake in front of me."
Looking at the corpse soul running towards him, Gu Zheng glanced at the opponent's strength and nodded slightly.
"I didn't expect these demon souls to be born in such a weird way, and to be so powerful. I really want to go down and see what's inside."
Elder Gu looked at the rows of black cocoons in the sky with his shining eyes, and said with some fascination.
Gu Zheng glanced at Elder Gu strangely. She was concentrating on observing the birth of those demon souls. She didn't even notice that the demon soul rushing over was about to approach her.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng glanced at the corpse, and then a terrifying pressure came out of thin air, and the other party was instantly restrained in the air.
Facing a demon soul that is only in the middle stage of Golden Immortal, if it weren't for its usefulness, it could crush the opponent to death with one hand.
But what surprised him was that even though he was trapped, the other party was still trying desperately to release the restraints. He looked at Gu Zheng with a crazy look in his eyes, wanting to tear him apart first. It seemed that he couldn't feel it at all. That gap in strength.
"It's interesting. No wonder you said that these are uncontrollable and must be sealed."
Seeing the opponent like this, Gu Zheng wanted to control the opponent through coercion. Even the team that was previously controlled by the demon soul would be afraid. This is a natural class suppression, just like a sheep meeting a wolf, even if The other party didn't make any harmful moves, and the latter would be frightened and leave the vicinity of the other party.
However, the other party completely ignored it, remained unmoved, and felt that he was not affected in any way.
"That's right, otherwise we wouldn't have sealed it up and used this city as a transit." He regained some of his painting skills and followed Gu Zheng's words, then watched more and more demon souls appear, and some He continued worriedly.
"The seal is broken. I can't stay on the seal. Don't count on me."
In the distance, dense numbers of demon souls appeared. After a brief period of adaptation, they began to rush towards this direction in unison.
They are all low-level demon souls that Gu Zheng has seen before. Those skeleton souls are all born from black cocoons that failed to evolve, while the stronger corpse souls have successfully broken through the black cocoon. Even those ghost-like demon souls, They actually emerged from the underground of the Black Lake. Their numbers are extremely rare, and only two of them have appeared now.
The strength of the demon soul varies from high to low, but the overall strength is still relatively low. Even if it is low, it cannot continue to be strong. It is even like a puppet warrior. It looks very clumsy. It is estimated that a person with normal cultivation level can fight a hundred of them. No problem, but once they gather into an army, it is also very scary.
"Do you have such demon souls born all the time in other places?"
Gu Zheng did not take action. Elder Gu had already set up a defense in front of them, protecting them and the shield behind them. The other party would never be able to break through.
As for the mountain wall next to it, it has long been extremely hard under the influence of black water for many years. It is very difficult for Gu Zheng and the others to break open, let alone them, there is no need to worry about them breaking and leaving from other places.
"No, the others only appear every once in a while. I'm afraid there are a lot of them accumulated here, which is why they are so crazy."
Hua Xin also looked at the demon souls with some curiosity. Although she understood all this, it was the first time she saw the birth of these lowest levels.
Except for the first corpse that was pulled in and carefully studied by Elder Gu, the demon spirits at the front had already begun to attack the protection.
"I heard a rumor that the reason why there is madness here is because it is too far away from the source, and some of the forces inside cannot be purified, so they are out of control."
Suddenly, this sentence came out of Hua Xin's mouth, which aroused Gu Zheng's curiosity and couldn't help but ask.
"source?"
"Should there be one? I just heard that the Soul River flows down from there. Of course, no one knows where it is except adults." Hua Xin said in an indifferent tone.
Because this is just a guess, but no one knows where the source is. Some people follow the Soul River only towards the north. Those who come back have not seen the end, and those who cannot come back have never appeared since.
"The other party is a little strange."
At this time, Elder Gu also finished his research and killed the demon soul directly. Then he glanced at Hua Xin and said to Gu Zheng.
"It's not surprising. As long as the other party doesn't die, he can do many things."
Gu Zheng gave Elder Gu a look of affirmation. Meng Zhen revealed this and said it was their clan rules. Thinking about it now, it is unbelievable. Even if he betrays his own clan, it is okay, as long as he can survive.
Hearing Gu Zheng's explanation, Elder Gu's eyes flashed with surprise. She didn't expect such a thing to happen, and this also gave her an explanation.
In her opinion, everything Hua Xin did and said had no flaws at all. This could still be distinguished. Instead, it was as if she was a companion with them. As long as they opened their mouths, she would do her best to help them.
Now that he has figured out this problem, Elder Gu no longer cares about Hua Xin, but talks to Gu Zheng.
"I can't control these demon souls. Even if I catch them back, I can't completely wash away the violence in them."
She understood that Gu Zheng's purpose in bringing her here was to use the endless flow of demon souls here to let her control the other party. In this way, she could form a huge puppet team, which could be used for whatever purpose in the future. With it, at least it has the power to protect itself.
"Then let me try. This time I have to rely on our old friends. If the other party can't solve it, I will seal this place again."
Gu Zheng flipped his palm, and the good dragon soul that he had hidden before appeared in his palm again.
"Lord Black Dragon!"
When Elder Gu saw the good dragon, he shouted subconsciously, but then he realized that he had overreacted.
Lord Black Dragon has completely fallen, the evil dragon clone has been subdued, and the good dragon is in Gu Zhan's hands, but the aura seems to be a little different.
"Didn't I tell you about it last time? The good dragon has undergone some different changes. It feels like swallowing any creature here, but I stopped it first. This time, I let him swallow part of the opponent's power. to achieve the purpose.”
Gu Zheng briefly explained to Elder Gu and let Shanlong out.
Whether he is in Gucheng or Ma Nan, he will definitely not be allowed to appear outside. Shanlong wants to devour even the Gucheng side. As long as it is a creature here, he will not refuse.
However, Gu Zheng also secretly fed Shanlong, who seemed to have fallen in love with the person who swallowed this place, and even ignored some of the elixirs in his hands. It seemed to be related to awakening the unlucky ghosts who were swallowed by Shanlong.
Even so, Shanlong’s awakening was worth it.
After Shanlong flew away from Gu Zheng's hand, his body immediately swelled up to about one foot in size. Instead of following Gu Zheng's instructions to go out and give it a try, he swung in the air and came to Elder Gu, acting like a spoiled brat. With the addition of Gu Zheng, this treatment is not even available to Gu Zheng.
"It seems Shanlong has not forgotten you." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Elder Gu's eyes were also full of smiles, perhaps because of the deep bond, Shanlong felt even more fond of her. Even if the Shanlong in front of her was just Shanlong who had lost his memory, to her, he was still the black dragon that she respected. It's just that the other person took care of her before, and now it's her turn to help the other person.
I wanted to reach out and touch behind the other person, but just as I raised my hand, Shanlong had already touched him with his body.
Hua Xin, who was next to him, looked at the majestic Shanlong with some envy, and his heart was about to move. Seeing that Gu Zheng and Elder Gu didn't pay attention to him, he also stretched out his arm and touched Shanlong.
"hiss"
Just when she had just stretched out her arm halfway, Shanlong's head suddenly turned, his small eyes were full of evil, and he screamed at Hua Xin. He was so frightened that he retracted his arm in an instant, and asked Hua Xin to take it away. His little face turned pale.
If Gu Zheng hadn't stopped him just now, Shanlong would have swallowed him up. Did she think that he was just a pet that he could touch as he pleased?
Gu Zheng glared at Hua Xin fiercely. If he didn't know something about the other party's psychology, he would definitely not be able to get around her. Then he turned his head and watched Shanlong fly out from the passage opened on the side.
Facing the flying good dragon, there was no ghost coming up in the distance. He immediately changed his target and launched two direct attacks towards the good dragon.
Most of the demon souls below also gave up the protection in front of them and flew into the air one after another. In the blink of an eye, dozens of demon souls surrounded them from below, standing close to each other and rushing towards Shanlong with great excitement.
However, Shanlong was even more excited when he saw the opponent's dense formation. There was a trace of crystal saliva at the corner of his mouth. He looked down with similar eyes as theirs, they were all his prey.
The whole body rose again in the air, reaching a size of more than ten feet, majestic.
Compared with the previous form of a small snake, it was completely different. A special and frightening pressure rushed towards the face through the shield. Hua Xin, who was closely following the edge of the shield, was looking carefully in front of him, and he was caught off guard. Then, her whole body was once again impacted by the terrifying coercion and flew up, and then fell to the ground in a somewhat embarrassed state. Even so, she quickly got up and looked in front of her.
At this time, Shanlong had already opened his huge mouth. Facing the demon soul that did not know whether to live or die, he suddenly sucked in. A huge suction force came from the mouth. The demon soul below had no resistance and was sucked into the mouth.
As for other scattered attacks that did not pose a threat, he did not dodge at all. He let the opponent hit him, and a black mist broke apart, creating a splash-like effect.
Shanlong's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was enjoying it, but after taking a look at Gu Zheng, he resisted the temptation in his heart and quickly spit out the demon souls in his mouth.
The demon souls that were still alive and kicking before were now lying on the ground sickly, in a semi-conscious state, and they did not have the arrogance on their bodies.
The good dragon has devoured most of the opponent's body, which not only satisfied his appetite, but also weakened the opponent's strength.
Even Gu Zheng was very envious in his heart. If the Black Tower had enough energy, wouldn't the ghosts inside also be able to help him? Thinking about the countless powerful ghosts, it felt really good. Unfortunately, since the Black Tower followed him, for Leave here completely, no longer bound, basically no longer convert the soul energy here.
"Elder Gu, please see if you can still do it. The good dragon has devoured most of the soul power inside, and even if there is little left, it will be easy to handle." Gu Zheng said from the side.
"Let me see!"
Elder Gu grabbed it in his hand, and several demon spirits from outside flew in automatically and landed at her feet.
"It's absolutely possible. As you said, although there are some residuals, it can be completely controlled. At that time, even if the other party recovers, don't even think about taking it back. I'm adding a shackles to the other party and using the evil energy in the other party's body. Strengthen control.”
Soon Elder Gu started laughing, because she understood what this meant, a steady stream of troops, and no additional materials were needed.
A huge profit!
"How is that possible?"
Hua Xin on this side shouted in surprise, not caring to look at the good dragon that made her mind waver, and then actually pounced directly on the demon soul underground and began to check.
But soon she found that the influence in the demon soul was indeed very low.
Although she didn't know what was going on, she knew that just beating the opponent like this or extracting the opponent's soul power could not cause this situation at all, and the violent power in the opponent's body still existed.
That power seemed to be in the opponent's body, and no matter what method was used, it could not be eliminated, otherwise it would not have abandoned the seal here in the end.
But the opponent really solved this problem, and the opponent came here to convert into a member of the opponent.
Thinking of this, Hua Xin trembled all over, thinking that if the opponent really gathered a large team, it would probably be a disaster for them here.
More importantly, no one knew that it was enough for the opponent to recuperate for a long time until they found that something was wrong with Master Jin, and perhaps they could know something.
However, they probably wouldn't have thought that the other party would take control of this place. Anyone who came to conquer at that time would probably end up like Lord Jin.
Her already pale cheeks turned even paler at this moment, and her mind was full of thoughts, and she stood there in a daze.
"Then Shanlong will be handed over to you. The seal has been placed now. When you are ready, follow my method."
It was unknown how long it took for Huaxin to come to her senses. She listened to the conversation from Gu Zheng and looked up. The Black Lake calmed down again, and a layer of light golden light spread on it, continuing to suppress it, while the Shanlong maintained its huge body and slowly hovered in the air.
"Okay, I'll be ready soon, and I'll do what you said. If it works, I'll die without regrets, but why did you take her away? Aren't you afraid that the other party will leak it?"
"What's life or death? Only the enemy will die. As for her, if you can't kill her, you may not be able to trap her. And I may need to explore before the next reunion. I need her."
"I know I can't persuade you, so I can only ask you to be careful. You are walking into a tiger's den."
"Don't worry, since I dare to go, I naturally have a way to protect myself. I won't go back. Time is running out, and my friend depends on you to take care of him."
Elder Gu could only nod helplessly, looking at the anxious Gu Zheng, grabbing the still dazed Hua Xin, and flew directly outside. He soon disappeared here, then turned his head and looked at Shanlong in the air, his eyes flashing with strange eyes.
"Lord Black Dragon, I will definitely let you return to the peak."
Even if Lord Black Dragon can't really be resurrected, and Shanlong in front of him is just an independent individual, she is still stubbornly convinced that this is Lord Black Dragon.
The good dragon stopped floating in the air and felt the mood of Elder Gu, then snorted and continued to float happily. He had eaten all the demon souls before. Thinking that he could continue to devour them in the future, although he could not completely swallow them, it was enough to satisfy him.
Elder Gu left a simple seal nearby and left in a hurry.
She still needed to go back to do many things.
And Gu Zheng's body in the air followed her and flew directly to the distance. Soon he had passed by the previous city and continued along the previous route.
Originally, he was going to go to the Soul Alliance, but after understanding Xiaoying's situation, he had to go once.
In any case! This is also the best time!
What gave him courage was of course the news he got from Gufeng. He knew that the other party would definitely have no time to ask him this time, otherwise he would go to the Soul Alliance first.
After all, if Wen Tianhou really sat there, he would only die if he went there. Now he was fighting with the adults of Gufeng, and he didn't know whether the battle was over.
As for the shadow imprisoned inside, he was not afraid at all!
But he knew that the adult could not do anything to the other party, and the other party could not do anything to him. This time, the adult went over, holding his own injury to delay the other party's injury, and buy time with the new area of Gufeng, so even if the battle is over, he doesn't have to worry too much.
Although he doesn't know where Xiaoying is imprisoned, it is definitely not in those cities outside, and the palace city where he is in charge is very likely there, there must be some clues.
If you want to go there, according to the usual method, you will definitely not be able to bypass the increasing number of demon souls in the middle. Gucheng has tried this many times, and they have spent so much time and still can't find a way to enter the core. It's like a copper wall.
But Gu Zheng found a way to bypass the middle from the map, that is, to go to the soul river.
Because the soul river itself is special, except for one kind of demon soul that can live in it, if other demon souls get close to this side, they will jump into it in a daze for a long time and then blend into it.
Moreover, there was a special energy in the sky above the Soul River. Except for Wen Tianhou, no one else could fly over it. It was very special.
If you want to force your way through it, there is only one consequence, that is, you will fall directly into the river.
However, there are three bridges above the Soul River. No one knows who built them. They already existed when Wen Tianhou appeared here.
This is also the reason why the Soul Alliance was established there. As long as the three entrance and exit bridges are monitored, the movement can be known.
Moreover, the bridge is not big. At most, four people can walk side by side, and the defense is very easy, although the Soul Alliance cannot get too close.
This Soul River is like a weakened version of Weak Water.
For Gu Zheng, this is the safest line.
He can walk along the Soul River towards the Palace City and get as close to the opponent's four cities as safely as possible. For him, the Soul River is completely safe as long as he doesn't jump down in a daze.
As long as he can reach the periphery, he can also get in. This is why she brought Hua Xin with him.
As long as the other party is willing to cooperate, he can pass through anywhere except the Palace City.
As for the Palace City, he can only rely on Meng Zhen. The other party still owes her a favor. With Gu Zheng's understanding of her, this "little" favor will definitely not be rejected by the other party.
Thinking of that girl who has been tirelessly wanting to be his maid, but doesn't know how to do it at all, like a little ancestor, he is willing to give it a try.
