Chapter 1878

"Let me go, let me go, I don't want to go, I don't want to die, I'm willing to do anything."

Accompanied by a scream of fear, a wide river gradually appeared not far in front of them.

The entire Soul River is more than a hundred feet wide, and it can be said to be a surging sea. Countless black fogs float in the air, covering the surroundings like a thick fog. The density is greater in the center of the river. It is not clear to see the inside of the black fog in the middle.

The turbulent river keeps beating on the shore, occasionally stirring up some waves and falling on the shore, depositing around, making the entire shore land have a strange blackening, shivering.

This is the place where demon souls are afraid of tigers and everyone is afraid.

"Shut up!"

Gu Zheng felt that his eardrums were shaking a little, and then he shouted at the screaming Hua Xin in a low voice, ignoring the other party's begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, the latter seemed to have heard nothing and was still shouting in fear.

"Woo woo woo"

The next moment, the other party's scream stopped abruptly, as if his mouth was blocked, and he kept sobbing.

Feeling the tranquility in his ears, Gu Zheng felt better, and still walked quickly forward firmly, stepping into the edge of the black fog.

As soon as she entered, Hua Xin's voice suddenly stagnated, her eyes were a little dazed, and she looked straight at the Soul River, as if something there was attracting her. Even if she was bound in the air by Gu Zheng, her body wanted to move closer to that side.

"So weird?"

Gu Zheng stood at the edge, carefully distinguishing the black fog, but did not find any place that had any effect on him, just like ordinary black fog, except that it could suppress some spiritual consciousness.

After thinking for a while, Gu Zheng controlled Hua Xin and slowly withdrew from the edge of the black fog.

The black fog was like a protective barrier, all condensed in a certain range. Once it came out, there was no influence from the outside, and it was clear.

Hua Xin, who came out, stopped struggling and her eyes regained clarity from the confused state. After seeing the black fog in front of her, she glared and opened her mouth, ready to scream again.

"Shut up, if you keep shouting, I'll throw you in."

Gu Zheng stepped forward and blocked the other's mouth with a gas again, stopping the other's scream, and then threatened fiercely.

Hearing this, Hua Xin nodded quickly, indicating that she would never make a sound, and Gu Zheng allowed the other to speak.

"Sir, we don't want to go in. You have a way to stop it, but you also saw that I lost control the moment I went in." Hua Xin said anxiously as soon as she could speak, with fear still lingering in her eyes. She didn't want to die here.

This soul river is a place that all demon souls fear. From the silver ghost generals at the peak of Daluo to the black souls with only celestial cultivation, no one is spared. At most, the stronger the strength, the different the range of impact.

With Hua Xin's strength, as long as she doesn't go in, she won't be affected at all. Those demon souls with lower cultivation will be confused when they get close to this place, and they can't help but jump in.

Although Gu Zheng knew that this soul river was powerful along the way, he never thought it would be so overbearing.

He could feel Hua Xin's struggle just at the edge, and there was even an invisible force trying to release his control over Hua Xin.

This made him a little difficult, but it was not safe at all to just walk along the edge.

Just as Hua Xin said, as long as he didn't go in, the other party still had the ability to patrol the edge. In his plan, even if he didn't lean against the river, he had to walk through the center and hide inside. Only in this way could he completely prevent the outside from discovering him.

Gu Zheng looked aimlessly into the dense black fog, thinking in his heart how to get in. He didn't trust the other party to take her all the way up, even if the other party cooperated, he wouldn't trust the other party.

Even if Hua Xin was in his hands, for the sake of his life, the other party would most likely not do this, and he could kill the other party at any time, but he wouldn't trust the other party and would rather take a detour.

There were too many threats on the road, especially if he encountered an enemy who was not inferior to himself, the chance of being exposed was too high, and he didn't want to lose the bet once.

If the other party found a chance to notify the enemy on the road, he would have no way to stop it. The other party had too many means to prevent. If he was ambushed, he might not be able to escape. The risk was too great.

"Huh? What is that?"

Gu Zheng's eyes condensed, and he turned his head to look to the side. A red dim light, only the size of a fist, looming in the air, slowly moved along the shore of the Soul River.

If it weren't for Gu Zheng's amazing eyesight, he wouldn't be able to see the special situation inside at all. He straightened his body and turned his head to ask Hua Xin, who was still frightened beside him.

"Is there anything special in or on the edge of the Soul River? For example, red things?"

"No, except for the rare water monsters, nothing can survive in it. What did you see?"

Hua Xin answered while trying to stretch her neck and curiously looked forward. Even the fear in her heart did not affect the other party's curiosity. Unfortunately, with her eyesight, everything was black and she didn't find the red light.

"Wait here, I'll go take a look!"

Gu Zheng watched the red light quickly come to his center from behind and continue to move upwards. He felt a familiar feeling in his heart, as if it had something to do with him. He was afraid that the other party would leave, so he left a word and ran inside immediately.

"Hey, hey"

Hua Xin watched Gu Zheng disappear into the black mist before her eyes. She stretched out her hand to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the figure of the other person disappeared into the black mist, leaving her speechless.

"Should I take this opportunity to leave here?"

Hua Xin suddenly became excited when she saw that she was the only one around, but the other party had not placed any restrictions on her.

As long as you stay a certain distance and use your talents, you can definitely make the other party find you and escape from the other party's clutches.

Thinking like this, his body turned around and took steps honestly, but a horrifying thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

"What if the other party is testing me on purpose? You know I can't get close to the demon soul. The other party thinks I'm a burden, so they're just waiting for me to leave so they can make excuses."

Thinking of this, her body stiffened, and she slowly turned around and looked at the black mist, as if there was an evil beast hiding in it, waiting for her to fall into the trap and swallow her up in one gulp.

"Follow the other party, and they will definitely not kill me. If I escape, if the other party finds me, I will be dead."

Thinking of Gu Zheng's previous familiarity with the Painted Soul Clan, his face immediately became righteous and awe-inspiring, and then he took a few steps back, then stood there and continued to wait for Gu Zheng's return.

It seemed that his actions just now were just to stay away from the black mist, and he had no other thoughts.

But in fact, Gu Zheng completely forgot about the painting center outside at this time, because as he approached the red light, a familiar aura came from above, and he could tell whose aura it was just by distinguishing it slightly.

Pan Xuan!

Thinking of this, he increased his speed again, and in just a few breaths he had crossed the middle area and arrived in front of the red light.

"Who are you?"

To his disappointment, a girl of about ten years old appeared in front of him. She was wearing an ordinary red cloth. She looked a bit rustic. She didn't seem to be much different from ordinary human children, but she had some pointy hair. The ears and the black armor in the middle of the forehead all showed the other person's identity, and he was also a native demon soul.

The sudden appearance of Gu Zheng frightened the other party. He looked at Gu Zheng blankly, never expecting to meet anyone else here.

You must know that after taking a few steps inside, you will directly reach the edge of the Soul River. Almost no demon souls can come here.

Looking at the somewhat bewildered demon boy in front of him, Gu Zheng observed the opponent. There was a red stone in his hand. Irregular red lines spread around it, exuding a light red light. It formed a simple protection and protected the opponent. Protected, and behind her, there was a small bamboo basket on her back, with several brown and red plants in it, like mushrooms.

There is nothing strange about the other party, but the red stone in his hand has Pan Xuan's aura. The little demon boy in front of him only has the strength of a fairy. Judging from the unstable aura on the other party, he is not born at all. How many days.

He did not reach out to pick up the stone, because the other party obviously relied on this stone to walk here.

"Where did you get this money from, and why did you come here?" Gu Zheng said condescendingly.

But to Gu Zheng's expectation, the little medicine boy ignored him at all, turned around and ran away, heading back in the direction he came from.

But just after running two steps, I found that my feet were empty, and my whole person was suspended. My calves were flying in the air, and I couldn't control my body shape. Then my body slowly turned around and automatically floated in front of Gu Zheng. Head and Gu Zheng looked at each other.

"Tell me your origin and where this thing came from." Gu Zheng looked into the other person's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"I have no idea."

The panicked little eyes did not dare to look at Gu Zheng, so he turned his head and said.

"If you don't say anything, I will take away your stone and throw you into the Soul River." Gu Zheng said in a silvery voice, and even controlled the other party's body to shake slightly in the air.

This time, the little medicine boy collapsed a little, and immediately started crying loudly. At the same time, he was still crying, but he didn't say anything.

When Gu Zheng saw this, he didn't expect that the other party would answer honestly as soon as he opened his mouth. Faced with Pan Xuan's news, he would naturally go.

"Don't throw me in. Someone is sick. I came here to collect some medicinal materials and give them to the doctor in the nearby city. Then I will take them back to treat the disease."

Seeing Gu Zheng pretending to throw her away, she immediately shouted as her body was lifted high.

"It turns out it's for treating illnesses. Is it the kind of medicinal material behind you?"

Gu Zheng pretended to be surprised and said, and at the same time he put the other party down.

"Yes, this kind of medicinal material is only found here. It is very rare. I was sent here to look for it, but this is the only difference. This stone was given to me by the client to defend myself. Otherwise, I would not be able to go in that deep." Xiao Yao. Tong forced his desire to escape and echoed.

"You wait."

Gu Zheng left such a sentence without any end, and then disappeared in front of the little Yaotong in an instant.

After looking left and right, the little medicine boy tried to take a few steps back. After finding that the situation was not the same, he was convinced that the other party had left here and immediately ran towards the back.

As for asking her to wait, she wasn't that stupid. Even if the other party didn't seem to mean harming her, she wouldn't stay where she was.

After running for a long time, her galloping figure slowly slowed down. Her little face was also full of joy. She was glad that she got rid of the other party. She was very satisfied with her prompt decision. If she really stayed there stupidly, My brain is broken.

Although she is weak and has been born for a short time, it does not mean that she is so completely stupid.

Unfortunately, when she was completely relaxed, her body suddenly became unable to move. An invisible force restrained him, and she maintained a flying posture in mid-air, with only her eyes sliding back and forth in her eye sockets.

"You run so fast. It's fate that we met each other. Take these things back to save people."

A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and then she found that she could move again, and her body was even flying quickly according to her last thought. The huge contrast between the two only made her fly out a little, and she fell to the ground. The stone in his hand was almost thrown away.

She quickly stood up from the ground and looked back, but she didn't find anyone. The man who frightened her didn't appear next to her, as if the voice just now was just an illusion.

The medicinal materials on her body had fallen to the ground. She quickly gathered the nearby medicinal materials and put them in a bamboo basket. Only then did she realize that there were only four or five medicinal plants, but now there were twice as many, which made her extremely happy.

You must know that this thing itself is extremely difficult to find. The previous quantity was barely enough. After meeting that terrifying man, she no longer dared to look for it. In addition, it took a long time to come out and she did not know the situation in the city. Prepare to go back first.

Thinking about the words just now, the other party should have sent it to her specially to let her know that she had some misunderstandings and that the other party might not have any ill intentions towards her.

"Thanks!"

After thanking her in a low voice, she put the bamboo basket on her back and sped up again. She had been out for a long time, and this time she wanted to go back.

Gu Zheng didn't hear this thank you, because on the way to catch up, he remembered a problem. After such a long delay, Hua Xin might have escaped, so he hurried back.

After all, without him, it would be impossible to bypass the opponent's core. The four tightly guarded cities around it are enough to intercept anyone with evil intentions. This is why the isolated city has lost a lot, but it cannot penetrate. reason.

The journey was fast and lightning fast, and soon I came to the place where I stayed before. I originally thought that Hua Xin had left somehow. Although a trace of consciousness was left on the other person, it was still very difficult to find. What I didn't expect was that the other person was still there, with his mouth Zhong was still chatting away, and he could vaguely hear the other party's voice.

"Should we take the opportunity to leave? Or should we stay here safely."

Although she knew that she was useful to Gu Zheng, she also didn't dare to gamble. She was not afraid of the worst, just afraid of ten thousand.

As for the arrangement of life, that is what the whole clan is doing. As long as they can survive, they can say anything.

But if I don't run away, I feel a little sorry for such a God-given opportunity, so I get entangled like this, and then I wait until the ancient war comes, and I am still entangled in the war between heaven and man.

"It seems that you are really obedient. If you run away, the poison I put in your body is specially prepared by me. It will kill you in less than three seconds. This is the antidote. I will give it to you once every seven days."

Upon seeing this, Gu Zheng came to her silently, then laughed and threw out an ordinary elixir, which was a basic recovery elixir.

After hearing this, Hua Xin breathed a sigh of relief and was thankful for her choice. How could the other party be unprepared? It was just that she didn't know it. Fortunately, she made the right choice.

He swallowed the elixir without hesitation. He felt that his energy was much better, and he believed Gu Zheng's words deeply.

"Okay, let's go first. We won't go up to the bridge below first." Gu Zheng ordered immediately after seeing the other party finish eating.

Hua Xin didn't ask any questions and followed Gu Zheng. Anyway, as long as he didn't go in there, everything would be easy.

It only took one day for Gu Zheng to reach the bridge below with Hua Xin.

The bridge is made entirely of black stone bricks, with a straight black guardrail next to it. It looks very ordinary. If it weren't for the fact that there was another layer of black light surrounding the bridge to block the black fog, it would have been built casually by ordinary people. Some people believe it.

Too crude!

There was nothing outside here, a large open area. Gu Zheng, with a clear mind, simply set up a hidden barrier and waited there with peace of mind.

"Are we going to wait here?"

Hua Xin and Gu Zheng hid in the barrier on the side, and then stood there for a long time before they realized what they were doing.

"Just wait, it will take a day at most."

The purpose of his coming here was very simple. The other party had obviously been in contact with Pan Xuan, and it was not an ordinary contact, otherwise he would not have given her the special stone.

Since there is no other way to get it, let's just take the simplest way, which is to follow the other party and let the other party lead him to find Pan Xuan. The chance of finding Pan Xuan is very high. Even if he can't find it, he can still find it from the person behind her. Got the news about Pan Xuan.

This is the only passage. According to the opponent's footsteps, it can be reached in less than a day. Although it is slower, it is safe.

Hua Xin stopped talking, and continued to think about the method of being raped on her body, trying to find out. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she searched, she couldn't find any clues, which made her feel even more terrible.

Most of the day passed in a blink of an eye. For Gu Zheng and the others, it was not much different from the blink of an eye. Even their initial postures did not change.

Before the little demon boy arrived, a small group of people ran towards this side from the opposite road, but from the look of the other side, it seemed that they were being chased and hunted, and they were a little embarrassed.

This place is too far away from the demon soul, and there is no value in defense at all, and it is the only connecting passage.

After the demon soul stationed here was attacked many times, it directly abandoned this place, and it became the fastest entry and exit place for both sides, and the only way for the soul alliance and those bandits.

It's not that there is no way. If you want to go around and go directly along the soul river, you need to go around for half a year to reach the bottom of the soul river. There is no black fog there, and people can fly through it. As for the end, no one has explored it.

So this is the only relatively safe passage without anyone guarding it.
