Chapter 676
The nine golden dragon centipede beads did not have any fancy attacks. They just crashed into the red-haired old man's nine palaces in a plain way, but they ignored all the resistance they encountered along the way.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
The explosions rang out in the fairy formation one after another, and eight bloody people with blurred faces exploded into smoke and dust one after another, and even the red-haired old man was knocked out.
Although the red-haired old man did not die immediately, the egg-sized dragon centipede beads left a watermelon-sized hole in his stomach, and even the fairy power ball in his body was decomposed because of this. Lying on the ground was not much different from being dead.
Gu Zheng changed his finger gestures again, and the dragon centipede spirit in the fairy formation immediately disappeared. He flashed into the formation and looked at the red-haired old man on the ground, with a trace of contempt on his lips: "Do you still want to eat fish? Fish has thorns!"
"You, "
The red-haired old man didn't finish his words, and his voice was bet by the blood foam rushing down his mouth.
Gu Zheng didn't want to say anything more to the red-haired old man, so he stretched out his hand and pressed on his head, and began to search his soul.
After a moment, Gu Zheng, who was in the Immortal Formation, frowned slightly.
"What happened?"
Huang Qi and others asked immediately.
"He is dead. I searched his soul before he died!"
After hearing what Gu Zheng said, everyone was relieved at first, and then Fang Xing asked: "Fellow Daoist Bai, what did you find from the soul search?"
"This person is considered a candidate disciple of the Quasi-Saint. When he just entered the initial stage of the Daluo Jinxian realm, he was imprisoned in this place by the Quasi-Saint, and his body was also restricted by the Quasi-Saint. Only when a special opportunity appears, he can leave this place." Gu Zheng said.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what is the special opportunity you are talking about?" Huang Qi asked.
"The special opportunity is the person who comes here to search for treasure after the treasure appears. If he can get three portions of the treasure hunter's blood, he can leave this plane and enter the Quasi-Saint treasure, and it is possible to eventually inherit the Quasi-Saint's mantle." Gu Zheng said.
"Three copies? Does it mean that apart from the two monks from the Galan Temple, no one has entered here before us?"
Faced with Yang Jue's question, Gu Zheng shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, how much does this person know about the Saint Immortal Treasure?" Fang Xing asked.
"Nothing, after all, he has never been to the real treasure."
Gu Zheng paused, then frowned and said: "However, he knows a lot about this space, which also makes me know that there are bigger troubles waiting for us ahead!"
Seeing Gu Zheng's serious expression, Huangqi and the other two asked in unison: "What trouble?"
"There is an ancient giant worm ahead."
When Gu Zheng's voice fell, Huangqi and the other two took a breath of cold air. Everything related to the ancient times is very extraordinary. These things are almost all born after the formation of the world. Due to the special environment at that time, they themselves have extremely terrifying strength. Among them, the horror of the ancient giant worm is even more powerful than the ancient beasts, because their reproductive capacity is too terrifying.
"Is there really only one?"
Yang Jue's voice trembled a little.
Almost all the things of the ancient times have disappeared in the long river of history with the end of the ancient times, but their descendants have survived to a greater or lesser extent. The descendants of the ancient beasts can still be seen occasionally in the prehistoric times, but the descendants of the ancient giant worms almost only exist in legends, because their reproductive ability is too strong, they are almost all hermaphrodites, and the cultivation world does not allow their existence. Once discovered, they will be attacked by the crowd.
"It is not the hermaphroditic kind, so there is only one, but even if there is only one, it is difficult enough, even the red-haired old man may not have a chance of winning against it!" Gu Zheng said.
"Although the skin of the ancient giant worm is an excellent material for refining weapons, since it is so difficult, there is no need for us to waste time with it. We should avoid it, take the treasure and leave this place quickly." Fang Xing said.
Gu Zheng shook his head: "It is impossible to avoid it. The so-called treasure here is in its belly, and even the teleportation formation that left is in its wormhole!"
Gu Zheng's words silenced Fang Xing and others.
After a moment, Fang Xing said, "It's a pity that Fellow Daoist Bai's immortal formation can't be used in a short time. Otherwise, with the immortal formation as a supplement, it is not impossible for us to kill this ancient giant insect."
The immortal formation arranged by the formation device has its advantages, but it also has its disadvantages. Generally speaking, the formation device is an energy-gathering immortal device. Whether it can be used continuously depends on the use of the energy stored in it.
Gu Zheng's "Immortal Trapping Formation" was also consumed a lot in the battle to trap and kill the red-haired old man. Although the formation device can automatically absorb immortal energy to recharge, if you want to use it again to trap and kill the ancient giant insect that the red-haired old man is unwilling to deal with, I'm afraid it will take a day to recharge.
"It seems that this matter needs to be planned." Huang Qi murmured.
"Let's go to the canyon first."
There are two monks from the Galan Temple in the canyon, which is why Gu Zheng wants to go there.
The two monks from the Galan Temple were still in a coma. The monk whose "fish meat" was cut by the red-haired old man was seriously injured because of excessive blood loss due to the untreated wound. Fortunately, both monks were at the early stage of the Golden Immortal. If the injured monk had a lower level of cultivation, he would have bled to death during this period.
Although the two monks were awakened, Gu Zheng still planted a ban on them to prevent them from being stubborn.
"It's you!"
"You villain!"
As soon as the two monks were awakened, they immediately looked at Gu Zheng with gnashing teeth.
"Do you hate your savior so much?"
The sarcasm at the corner of Gu Zheng's mouth was quickly replaced by impatience: "I don't want to talk nonsense to you. There are only two roads in front of you now. One is the way to survive, that is, we work together to leave here, and the other is natural It’s a dead end.”
If he uses some trump cards, Gu Zheng is confident that he can get rid of the ancient giant insect. However, there are still many dangers in the treasure. It is not appropriate to use trump cards too early, so he wants to win over the two monks. If these two monks from the early stage of Golden Immortal join, it would be a very feasible way to deal with an ancient giant insect with the power of six Golden Immortal realms.
"You killed the monk of Jialan Temple and you still want us to cooperate with you? Are you really a stupid monk?"
"You want us to cooperate with you? I really don't even think about it. You villains will definitely go to hell after death!"
Facing the murderous intent in Gu Zheng's eyes, the two monks acted fearlessly.
"Ants are still alive, let alone humans."
Huang Qi smiled at the two monks and said with a sweet face: "As long as you two sincerely cooperate with us, we promise that we will not do anything to burn bridges."
"Amitabha!"
"Have you sang with a black face and it's your turn with a red face?"
"I don't want to see you anymore, poor monk. You are more disgusting than that black face!"
"If you want to kill or behead them all, it's up to you. Just give up on the desire for us to cooperate with you!"
"Stubborn bald donkey!"
Huang Qi and Yang Jue cursed at the same time, and their hands grabbed the bald heads of the two monks.
Faced with two monks who were ignorant of current affairs, Huang Qi and Yang Jue could only send them to see the Buddha. However, before they saw the Buddha, soul searching was inevitable.
"Is there any valuable information?"
Fang Xing looked at Huang Qi and Yang Jue who had stopped searching for souls.
"The treasure is dangerous!" Huang Qi frowned.
"On the second floor of the treasure, the monks of Jialan Temple not only encountered a corpse that was more difficult to deal with than a wolf monster, but they also encountered an immortal formation that could separate people. This is why there were so many monks in Jialan Temple, so why were there only two of them? The reason for entering here.”
Yang Jue paused, then looked at Fang Xing and said, "Fellow Daoist Fang, after you leave here, it's time for you to share the treasure map with us."
Yang Jue has wanted to say this for a long time. He just hinted at it before, but now he directly stated it.
Fang Xing thought for a while, then nodded and said: "No problem, I will share it with all the fellow Taoists when we return to the treasure! However, how to leave this plane is the most critical thing now. The two bald donkeys are dead, we should How to deal with the ancient giant insects?"
Fang Xing looked at Gu Zheng. Among them, Gu Zheng was the only one with outstanding combat power. If Gu Zheng did not exist, let alone an ancient giant worm that the red-haired old man was not sure about, even an ordinary Daluo Jinxian in the early stage of cultivating immortals. Anyone can annihilate them all. Moreover, Gu Zheng also told them about the several battles between the red-haired old man and the ancient giant worm, so they knew that ordinary methods were useless against this ancient giant worm.
"I have a suggestion, let's stay here for a day!" Gu Zheng thought for a while and said.
"ah?"
"one day?"
Huang Qi and Yang Jue looked toward the ancient struggle.
"That's right, one day!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused, and then he said: "First of all, there are a lot of resources here. We can collect them in a day. Secondly, after a day's time, my array will be fully charged. The ancient giant insect will also have a better chance of winning, and because of the use of the 'Crazy Crazy Sword', I also need some time to adjust my breath. As for the time issue that you are most worried about, I don’t think you need to worry too much now. This is just a difficult place on the second floor of the treasure, and it is already so dangerous. I don’t think there will be any other difficult places in the treasure next. , it will be easier than here, so I think time may not be the most important thing in this treasure hunt!”
After listening to Gu Zheng's analysis, the three of them nodded slowly.
"By the way, has the red-haired old man ever tried using poison to deal with ancient giant insects?" Fang Xing looked at Gu Zheng.
"No." Gu Zheng said.
"I heard from fellow Daoist Huang and Fellow Daoist Yang that the ancient fellow Taoist himself is an immortal chef. Can you make some delicacies and then put poison in them to try to use this method as a supplement?" Fang Xing asked again.
"Ordinary poisons will definitely have no effect on the ancient giant insects, but I have also thought about this method. Whether it will really work, I can't draw a conclusion until I see the ancient giant insects." Gu Zheng said.
"If poison is feasible, I have some powerful poisons here!" Fang Xing said with a smile.
In the next day, Gu Zheng and others avoided the center of the space and plundered all the valuable resources in this space.
Because this place is a lower level than the ancient world, the food materials are not as abundant as in the ancient world. In the area Gu Zheng was responsible for exploring, he harvested a total of twenty-five excellent-level ingredients and one high-level item. Ingredients.
Due to the explanation in advance, the high-end ingredients harvested by Huang Qi and others would also be exchanged with him. After all, he was responsible for killing the red-haired old man.
But it is a pity that no matter whether they killed the red-haired old man before or the two monks from Jialan Temple, Gu Zheng and the others did not gain anything particularly useful. The reason for the red-haired old man was that when he was trapped here by the quasi-sage, he was deprived of even the space fairy weapon. Apart from the broken dagger, there was nothing left. As for the two monks at Jialan Temple, they do have space immortal weapons on them, but the things inside are not worth mentioning for their cultivation stage.
The day passed quickly, and Gu Zheng came outside the wormhole. Huang Qi and others did not come. Gu Zheng came this time just to explore the situation first.
A wormhole is a very large cave, six feet high and five feet wide. Within a certain range where it is located, not a single plant can be seen, nor can there be any animals. There is a special fishy smell in the air. It is this fishy smell that makes plants disappear and animals dare not approach at all. In fact, let alone animals, this kind of fishy smell from ancient times is harmless, but if it is smelled by immortal cultivators below the realm of returning to the virtual world, it will be a deadly poison.
In the red-haired old man's memory, the ancient giant worms in the wormhole were usually sleeping and grew by absorbing the fairy essence in the air. However, its reaction is also very sensitive. If a being with a strong aura approaches, it will come out of the wormhole very quickly.
It was indeed just as the red-haired old man remembered it. As soon as Gu Zheng arrived outside the wormhole, there was a vibration on the ground, and a strange and huge friction sound came from the wormhole.
Silently, an earthy yellow light shot out from the cave, aiming directly at Gu Zheng standing outside the cave.
Gu Zheng used the 'Ethereal Illusion Technique' and moved his body back and forth to avoid the earthy light. He only supported it for a moment before he had to fly into the air. After all, there is not just one beam of light, but a total of sixteen beams. With such a large number of beams of light, it is simply impossible to avoid it all the time with just the 'Ethereal Illusion Technique'.
"Snoring..."
Seeing that the light failed to eliminate the target, the strange roar of the ancient giant insect came from the cave. It had stopped coming out of the cave and started moving again.
Gu Zheng finally saw the complete picture of the ancient giant insect. It was no different from the appearance in the memory of the red-haired old man.
The whole body is khaki in color, with many wrinkles. The upper part of the body is thicker and the lower part is thinner. The thickest part is its head, which is as big as a room, and then it gradually becomes thinner until it reaches its tail a hundred meters away.
The head of the ancient giant insect generally looks a bit like a cabbage caterpillar that has been enlarged countless times, except that its head has eight pairs of compound eyes, and the previous sixteen rays of light were emitted from these compound eyes.
In addition to its head, the ancient giant worm is also worth mentioning its tail. It is a thing that looks very similar to a scorpion's tail. As soon as it comes out of the wormhole, it raises its tail and aims at it. The ancient struggle in heaven.
"Snoring..."
The ancient giant insect roared at Gu Zheng in the air. In its open mouth, Gu Zheng saw countless sharp teeth. He was afraid that even the immortal body of Da Luo Jinxian would end up being twisted into pieces if it fell into it. Like a meat machine.
From the memory of the red-haired old man, Gu Zheng understood that the ancient giant insect could understand the strength of the opponent by sensing the aura. When encountering a powerful and difficult opponent, it did not want to consume too much. The peculiar snoring sound was exactly It serves as a warning to opponents.
The main purpose of Gu Zheng's visit this time was to explore the wind. Although the ancient giant insect had no intelligence, he didn't want to anger it and cause any bad changes, so he flew away.
Seeing Gu Zheng fly away, the ancient giant worm also lowered its tail. It stood at the entrance of the cave for a while, and then retreated into the cave upside down.
Although Gu Zheng has left, the exploration of the wind has been completed. In the short time just now, the ancient giant insects were like food, showing a "digital" display in his eyes.
According to the grade of food, the ancient giant insect is considered poisonous, but the most important thing for Gu Zheng to see it with the eyes of Tao is to understand its body and see if there is any poison that can target it.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, what's wrong?"
Seeing Gu Zheng return, Yang Jue was the first to speak.
"How do you feel?"
Gu Zheng did not answer Yang Jue's question immediately, but asked instead.
"It's scary. Although we are far enough apart, the two 'snores' of the ancient giant insect just now, especially the second 'snort', have made us panic and breathless, just like ordinary people running past. If we say When fighting head-on, it would make one or two noises like this from time to time. Not to mention whether it would kill people, it would at least reduce our combat effectiveness. "
Yang Jue and the other two smiled bitterly, while the other two nodded. They had not yet faced each other head-on. They had already experienced the terror of the ancient giant insects, and they were in the golden immortal realm in the eyes of most immortal cultivators.
"The result of exploring the wind is very good. This insect can be affected by the food I made, which will greatly assist us in killing it."
Gu Zheng, who was in a good mood, paused, patted Yang Jue's shoulder and said, "As for the sound problem, you don't have to worry at all. I guarantee that he won't make any noise when the time comes!"
"Very good!"
Looking at Gu Zheng's affirmative eyes, Yang Jue and the other three cheered together.
"Give me your poison now. It will have some effect. I'm going to cook a customized meal for the ancient giant worm right away."
Gu Zheng asked Fang Xing for poison and immediately started working.
Although the ancient giant worm feeds on immortal essence, it does not mean that it does not eat anything other than immortal essence. It is just more picky.
After looking at the body of the ancient giant worm with the Eye of Tao, Gu Zheng knows what kind of food can attract it more, and the poison can return better in this way.
As for cooking, Gu Zheng prepared everything simply. After all, the object of service this time is a big worm, and there is no need to make it delicious. It only needs to ensure that it can accept everything.
