Chapter 2010
The town in front of them was said to be a town, but in fact Gu Zheng still overestimated the other party.
It looks like the area here is not small from above, but after going in, I found that there is a lot of empty space inside. In fact, many places are open spaces, which are used by some people as trading venues, and there are some complete houses further inside. The half-human-high wall was built later, with too much haste, and it probably won't be of much use. It can barely block debris and the like, and any powerful beast can break it open.
Even Meng Zhen, who came in enthusiastically, was a little disgusted at this time, "Why is this place so shabby? It feels like the shabbiest place over there."
Seeing the disappointed Meng Zhen, Gu Zheng felt that it could be over. It should have wanted to expand, but then it stopped because of some problems. At least it was a smaller version of the town. At least there was a place for people to rest in the distance. , couldn’t help but comfort him.
"Although this place is a bit run-down, let's take a break. This time you will be on your own the whole time. It will test you. If you pass, I will take you to a bigger city next time."
In fact, Gu Zheng originally wanted to leave. After all, there was really no value in staying here. In other words, it was impossible for thieves to come here. But as he came in, a familiar feeling arose in his heart, as if he had some friends. I had stopped here before, but after carefully distinguishing it, I didn't know the identity of the other party at all. Coupled with the state of the surrounding villagers, I decided to stay and take a look.
"Okay, leave everything to me." Mengzhen said confidently, walking carefully from inside.
"If I do something wrong, please remind me in time."
Meng Zhen whispered to the brush halfway. After getting a positive reply from the other party, he felt that there was no problem this time.
The appearance of Gu Zheng and his group surprised the other villagers. They followed them carefully and followed their identities carefully. They had not seen outsiders for many years. They were very surprised. Especially Gu Zheng and Mengzhen were dressed up. Obviously not compared to people like them who are struggling to make ends meet.
Although their conversation was very quiet, for Gu Zheng and the others, there was almost no difference in talking in their ears. Of course, Meng Zhen would not pay attention to them. She had already prepared what she would do next. In some scenes she had seen before Combine them and prepare for your first actual battle.
Soon they came to the entrance of a hotel with a sign called "You Lai". The sign behind it had disappeared, but there was only a small layer of masks in front of them, and there were less than ten crowded tables in total. It was so tattered that it hadn't been replaced in I don't know how many years. One of them even seemed to have been unused for a long time, and it was covered with a light layer of dust.
Seeing all this, Meng Zhen also frowned carefully. Although she was mentally prepared, everything in front of her was still so shabby that she could not imagine it.
But at this time, there were actually more than a dozen people sitting in the small room, occupying an ordinary table. In front of each person there was only a small wooden wine glass, but there was no food or drink, as if they came here just to drink. That glass of wine carefully from.
Gu Zheng could easily see the turbid and unknown liquid inside. Some people had already drank half of it, and some had not yet started drinking. Seeing their arrival, he followed them carefully with his eyes.
At this time, this scene seems to be cautious.
"Ahem."
Meng Zhen didn't ask so many questions. Thinking that this was his first action, he simply ignored the strange situation in front of him. He looked up and saw the man standing on the side who looked like a shopkeeper. He walked up to the tall wooden tree in front of him. The table was clapped and they shouted at the same time.
“What to eat”
"Click"
The words in her mouth also stopped abruptly as the old antique in front of her, which cost an unknown amount of money, was smashed into pieces by her palm.
Fortunately, the counter was wiped clean by the other party, and there was no dust. However, Mengzhen was stunned on the spot. She did not use more strength, but learned how to slap the counter hard like others in the city before, but when she arrived, Why am I stuck here again?
"You two are strangers, right? It's your first time here?"
Although it was a question, the shopkeeper in front of him was obviously sure of their identity. In this three-acre land, no one knew who they were, even when they saw their attire.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, I will compensate you." Meng Zhen didn't know what to do, so he spoke out after being reminded by the brush.
"You don't have to pay, just leave here. There is nothing to eat here. If the truth comes out, go outside and exchange some game. I can help you process it." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
The unlucky start disrupted all Mengzhen's plans, and he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Gu Zheng beside him.
"Then excuse me, let's leave now."
Gu Zheng looked at Mengzhen's appearance and couldn't help but think of Xiaoying in the past. He smiled bitterly in his heart and stepped forward to pull Mengzhen over.
There is indeed something strange here. Although the other party did not show any signs of vigilance, it was obvious that they were not welcome.
At this time, other guests also finished drinking what was in front of them and left from the side.
"It's very strange that there are actually foreigners coming here."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded not far behind.
"Miss Ren Xue!"
The shopkeeper in front of him brightened up and trotted out.
Gu Zheng turned around, moved his body slightly, and then pulled Meng Zhen to stand aside, watching the shopkeeper welcome him in diligently.
"I told you last time, no matter how there are no guests, you still have to clean up anyway." Looking at the dirty scene in front of her, Ren Xue shook her head and said.
"I'll do it now. I didn't expect Miss Ren Xue to be so early this time. I thought it would take more than ten days." The shopkeeper took out his dirty towel and wanted to wipe it on the table. go.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Ren Xue stopped the other party here, and then a green light flew out from his fingertips. After circling the entire room, everything took on a new look.
"Thank you Miss Ren Xue for taking action. I'm really ashamed." Shopkeeper Ma He rubbed his hands and said a little cautiously.
"Haha, no need, this is your stuff below." Ren Xue smiled slightly, then waved, and a wooden barrel more than two people high appeared on the ground.
"Why are there so many this time?" The shopkeeper looked at the things in front of him and said with some surprise.
"I'm afraid this is the last time I give it to you. By then, the surrounding land will have almost recovered and will be enough to feed you." Ren Xue turned around, leaving these words behind, and walked outside.
"I would like to thank Miss Ren Xue for everyone."
The shopkeeper suddenly burst into tears. At the same time, he knelt down and banged his head several times at Ren Xue's back.
"Foreigners, this place is not where you came from. Leave now."
Gu Zheng and the others had been watching outside. When Ren Xue walked up to them, she paused for a moment, carefully followed these words, and then left with the two followers behind her.
"How can there be such a powerful mission here? I feel that my strength is not weaker than mine."
After the other party completely left here, Mengzhen said curiously, but he didn't wait for Gu Zheng's answer. He turned around and saw that he didn't know when he came to the barrel.
"Hey, foreigner, be careful. This is our thing. Don't touch it. Be careful not to leave here." The shopkeeper was startled when he saw Gu Zheng appear there and took two steps towards him. said loudly.
"Is this what they drink?" Gu Zheng felt the breath inside and said thoughtfully.
"Did you hear that? If you dare to touch this thing, no one will spare you." The shopkeeper saw that Gu Zheng ignored his words and had no intention of leaving. He picked up a wooden stick and pointed it directly at Gu Zheng to threaten him.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes blurred and he found that the weapon in his hand had disappeared and appeared in the woman's hand.
"Don't get excited, the other party is just an ordinary person." Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen who was staring at him eagerly. He felt that the other party was a comparable opponent and quickly stopped him. Otherwise, if he made a casual move, the other party would be completely destroyed. Then he smiled and looked at the other party carefully. Ground from.
"I have no intention of taking this thing away. Don't worry. Can I ask you a few questions?"
Unfortunately, the other party did not appreciate Gu Zheng's kindness. Instead, he started to retreat and shout, trying to attract the villagers outside. Now his face changed slightly, and then he directly stepped forward, grabbed the other party's shirt, and pushed him next to him. on the bench.
As for the other party's request for help, it is naturally impossible to spread it.
"I'm asking you now, who is that woman named Ren Xue, why is she here, and why is she giving you these things?" Gu Zheng looked at the shopkeeper who was distracted and asked directly.
He didn't want to waste too much time on the other party. If he didn't follow him in time, he might lose the other party's whereabouts.
The other party quickly and carefully shook things off. After Gu Zheng got the information he wanted, he took Mengzhen and left here directly.
After a long time, the shopkeeper came back to his senses. He subconsciously wanted to call someone, but found that there was no one in front of him. He quickly came to the barrel and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was intact.
He didn't know what happened, but if the stranger left and the barrel was still there, there would be no problem.
The two figures were galloping on the ground and soon entered the primitive forest. They shuttled through it lightly and flexibly, always heading in a certain direction.
It wasn't until most of the day that Gu Zheng's figure suddenly stopped, but Meng Zhen didn't realize it. It wasn't until the brush reminded her loudly in her ear that she suddenly realized it. She hurriedly returned to the original road and saw her halfway. Seeing Gu Zheng, who looked helpless, his face suddenly turned red.
"Why didn't I notice it when I was down there?" Gu Zheng said helplessly.
"The main thing is that once you get used to being here, you'll be fine after a while." Meng Zhen said with a blushing face.
"Wubi, please keep an eye on the other person and remind them in time."
Gu Zheng can only do this. The other party's character is free and easy. You can say that the other party is like a young girl who has not been deeply involved in the world. The other party is not stupid. He is very smart in some things. You can say that the other party is smart, but sometimes he is The only thing that reassured him was that at least he wouldn't be stupid when fighting.
As he continued walking forward with Mengzhen, he finally stopped on a slightly raised rock.
"You know that woman, right? What are you doing with her?"
Seeing Gu Zheng standing on the stone looking around, Meng Zhen couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
"You must have heard what that ordinary person said just now." Gu Zheng seemed to have anticipated the other party's inquiry and said without looking back.
"Of course I know. The other party provided them with that liquid to keep their bodies full of vitality. No wonder they are in such good spirits." Meng Zhen nodded and said.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the other party left with us and came here and quickly gave us the liquid. I also noticed that this place was once very prosperous, but it has only become so desolate in the past few thousand years."
"You know so much without asking?" Meng Zhen jumped to Gu Zheng's side and looked him up and down, with a suspicious look.
She and Gu Zheng did not separate from beginning to end, so she naturally knew that the other party did not ask anyone at all.
"Observation? You know, as long as you observe, you can get the information you want. Of course, you also need a certain amount of experience. You naturally don't understand. I know you want to ask why you follow the other party, right?" Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen next to him, who kept nodding, and his big eyes were full of desire.
"First of all, you guessed one of them right. I know them. I wanted to find their traces, but I didn't expect to meet them here. They have a special healing ability. I want to ask them if they can heal your injuries." Gu Zheng didn't keep the other party waiting and said it directly.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly." Meng Zhen's eyes lit up and said immediately.
"Don't worry, when the other party left, he said he was going to do something, and it seems that he failed. Now he should be in a dangerous state."
"Failed? Don't tell me, you also know those people on the other side." Meng Zhen said carefully.
"You guessed right, I know them, so we have to be careful and find a way to rescue them." Gu Zheng looked like you are very smart.
"Then we must rescue them, not only for me, but also for your friends." Meng Zhen raised his fist and said seriously.
"Stop, stop, I haven't finished talking yet, don't be so excited and ready to go up, let me ask you first, do you know the opponent's position? Just rush up like this." Gu Zheng saw Meng Zhen was about to rush forward, and instantly wove a defense in front of him to block the opponent back.
"I don't know, do you know?" Meng Zhen also felt that she was a little impulsive, and hurriedly stepped back carefully.
"I don't know, but I'm not looking for you with you. You don't have my order, try not to act." Gu Zheng was not angry, just said to Meng Zhen.
"I will definitely promise not to act on my own. I think I'm too excited to come here, and I haven't suppressed it until now. I will pay attention to control myself." Meng Zhen also felt a little bit of something wrong with herself, and said immediately.
"Well, I know, pay more attention, now you wait by the side, I will find the opponent's position."
Gu Zheng looked at the barely perceptible black silk in Meng Zhen's eyes, and didn't say much, and began to carefully explore the location where the opponent disappeared last.
He made sure that the other party would never find the mark he left on him. Now that he could not sense it, there was only one possibility, that the other party had stepped into a formation, which blocked his perception. Even if he was discovered and eliminated, he could still feel it.
When Gu Zheng was looking for Ren Xue's position, Ren Xue had already stepped into the fog outside the valley and walked in. The two people following him also dispersed automatically, because they were originally to monitor Ren Xue. Even if the other party had merits, in this special situation, no matter who it was, as long as they went out, they would be monitored.
And they were people who served him with both body and mind, and would not betray him at all. Naturally, Ren Xue would not say much to the other party. This time, when he came back, Lord Mulang notified him to go in.
Inside the valley, there was a lush forest. Each tree was more than ten feet large, thicker than the trees in the front and backyard. Countless branches as thick as buckets covered the sky. Ren Xue walked into a road that only one person passed. Except for a little bit of scattered light and shadow in the air, the rest was dark.
Ren Xue knew that all the trees in this forest were the clones of Lord Wood Wolf, helping him to cultivate.
Following this straight passage, Ren Xue soon came to the end, where a tree that was a hundred feet thick was breathtaking. It looked like it had experienced many years.
It was a pity that this huge ancient tree had mottled bark all over its body, which made it look extremely old, not to mention the drooping and withered branches on its head, indicating that it had fallen into the countdown of its life.
But Ren Xue knew that this tree was just a carrier of the other party. Anyone who underestimated it would die without knowing how, because the body of this ancient tree was the fallen demon god.
Of course, it was not a completely victorious demon god, but just a trace of divine thought that escaped from the other party, with only the cultivation of the middle stage of Daluo. However, Ren Xue knew that although the other party was seriously injured, if they really fought, the average peak of Daluo would not be the opponent of the other party.
There was no other reason. The other party was too strange. She saw a Daluo peak with her own eyes. When he passed by here, he found the difference here. The formation outside could not hide it from the other party.
That Daluo peak claimed to be the vanguard commander of the demon clan. He was ordered to gather with the witch clan to prepare for the final decisive battle. When he saw the lonely and injured demon god, he was naturally overjoyed and greedy.
As long as he could devour the remnant of this demon god, the benefits to him would be countless, and it would make it possible for him to break through his stagnant cultivation again.
After a fruitless negotiation, the two men started fighting.
The incident was beyond Ren Xue's expectation. She originally thought that the end of the demon god was coming, but the battle was over in just half a day.
The demon who looked extremely powerful was pulled into an unknown space by the wood wolf and disappeared carefully. The wood wolf was also seriously injured, and many parts of his body were cracked with deep cracks. As for how serious it was, she didn't know, and she didn't try to resist. The ancient tree where the other party parasitized was inherently restrained by them, not to mention that his cultivation was higher than theirs.
As for whether he was sealed or dead, Ren Xue didn't know at first, but in some of the words later, she guessed that the other party was dead.
"Master Wood Wolf, I'm back."
Ren Xue bowed her head and said respectfully when she reached the end.
