Chapter 681 Corpse Tree
The people from Tianxuan Sect were waiting for Gu Zheng's reply, and Huang Qi and others all focused their attention on Gu Zheng.
"It's not impossible to cooperate. Does Fellow Daoist Wan want to know my bottom line?" Gu Zheng looked at Wan Changshan and said slowly.
Wan Changshan frowned slightly: "Fellow Taoist, please speak!"
"Forty-six points, we will fight 60%, you will get 40%, and among the treasures I finally get, I need to choose one first!"
After Gu Zheng's words fell, Wan Changshan immediately stretched out his hand to stop the person behind him from speaking, because he knew that if he didn't stop, all kinds of words might come out. After all, even Gu Zheng's suggestion made him angry.
Although he was angry, Wan Changshan was a very cautious person, and he had also seen some of Gu Zheng's methods, so he did not show his anger on his face. He just looked at Gu Zheng calmly and thought about the analysis at the same time. With.
After a while.
Wan Changshan said: "Fellow Taoist, 50-50! But you don't have the right of first choice. This is Wan's final concession!"
The final decision was to give it a 50-50 split. Wan Changshan himself had not expected it in advance, but the lackluster nature of the ancient battle forced him to be cautious in this matter.
Regarding Wan Changshan's final concession, Gu Zheng shook his head. The conditions he mentioned before were also his bottom line.
Although Gu Zheng didn't speak, his eyes were extremely determined, as if he was willing to fight for it, and his reaction once again exceeded Wan Changshan's expectations.
"Lao Wan, this kid is so crazy. Who does he think he is? We from Tianxuan Sect gave him a 50-50 share, but he still dares to think less?"
"Elder Wan, I'm about to explode. Let's fight them!"
Elder Deng and Li Qingqiu, who had the most explosive tempers, sent a message to Wan Changshan.
"You two stop for a while!"
Wan Changshan, who was in a irritable mood, sent a voice message to scold the two of them.
"Now that the Supreme Elder is not here, and we are in the treasure of the old demon with thousands of corpses, don't think that Tianxuan Sect can really make everyone afraid!"
"Really want to fight? With the cultivation of you and the Zhang family boy, we may not be able to protect you!"
Wan Changshan reprimanded Elder Deng and Li Qingqiu one by one, and Gu Zheng also received messages from his own members one after another.
"Although cooperation will result in less treasure, it is not without benefits. You may not be able to see through the cultivation of these people, but I know what their realm is. It allows people like them to seek cooperation. The so-called 'Corpse Tree' It’s definitely not an easy thing to deal with, but don’t forget the ancient giant insect we experienced before!”
Gu Zheng's messenger voice paused, and then said: "Fellow Daoist Huang and Daoist Yang are leaving after they find the treasure. There is no need to take any more risks."
"Okay, then everything will be based on Fellow Daoist Bai's idea!" Fang Xing said.
At the same time, after some analysis by Tianxuan Sect, Wan Changshan finally made a decision.
"There's really no need to take risks in this matter, so what if you agree to their request? Although the treasure is good, you have to live to enjoy it. The primary purpose of everything is survival!"
After Wan Changshan sent the message to his people, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart. If Gu Zheng and others hadn't come over yet, who would have told him that he would eventually give in to such an extent. Even if he were to kill him, he wouldn't believe it, but that's the fact. , faced with the calmness of ancient disputes, he repeatedly made compromises.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Wan Changshan laughed, then looked at Gu Zheng and said solemnly: "In any case, I admire the courage and momentum of fellow Taoist. I, Tianxuan Sect, agree to your request! However, we still need to discuss the details. Now, I also have some requests, I hope fellow Taoist won’t be too hard to talk to me about my requests!”
Seeing Wan Changshan's agreement, Gu Zheng nodded and said, "As long as the request is not too much, it will naturally not be difficult for me to speak. As for the requirements and details of Fellow Daoist Wan, let's tell them all now!"
Wan Changshan's request was about the distribution of treasures. They should select one treasure after giving priority to the ancient battle, and then distribute the remaining ones equally.
Gu Zheng did not refuse Wan Changshan's request. Anyway, the reason why he wanted to select things first was because he wanted to get the jade slip that recorded the information on the three layers of hidden treasures. As for the other treasures, they were nothing compared to the jade slip. secondary.
After agreeing to Wan Changshan's request, everyone swore the inner demon oath. The content of the oath was nothing more than to work together, not to engage in any conspiracy behind the scenes, and not to actively act as an enemy in the entire Thousand Corpses Old Demon's Treasures. .
"Now that everyone has sworn the inner demon oath, Taoist fellow Taoist Wan, please tell us what you experienced there!" Gu Zheng said, looking at the valley.
"After we entered the valley, we encountered a corpse tree before we had time to explore it carefully. This thing is the product of corpse refining and should be guarding the treasure. After all, it did not chase it out of the valley. This corpse tree is very powerful. , apart from it, no other dangers have been discovered for the time being.”
After Wan Changshan finished speaking, he took out a jade slip and placed it on his forehead for a moment, then handed it to Gu Zheng: "This is what happened when fighting the corpse tree."
After Gu Zheng read it, he handed the jade slip to Huang Qi and the others. Wan Changshan said again: "Now that we have so many people, there will definitely be no problem in dealing with that corpse tree."
"Fellow Taoist Wan, is Corpse Tree just a convenient name for you, or is it originally called Corpse Tree?"
From the battle clips in the jade slip, the strength of the corpse tree should be in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, but Wan Changshan and others did not cause much damage to the corpse tree. If the corpse tree is just a name given to it by Wan Changshan and others, then this strange corpse refining that exists as a treasure guard, what other powerful means does it have, this is a matter of course.
Wan Changshan frowned, and then said: "This is a name given to it for convenience. As for what it is called, we don't know. Do you know this monster?"
Faced with Wan Changshan's question, Gu Zheng and others all shook their heads. They didn't know much about this strange corpse tree.
"You asked so seriously, I thought you knew what it was!"
Seeing Gu Zheng and others shaking their heads, Li Qingqiu whispered, with a hint of ridicule in his voice.
"Qingqiu!"
Wan Changshan glared at Li Qingqiu, then looked at Gu Zheng who was already frowning at Li Qingqiu and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, please forgive me. Qingqiu is a girl who has always been indifferent to the ways of the world. If there is something offensive in my words, please forgive me!"
Gu Zheng did not want to argue with Li Qingqiu, so he nodded after Wan Changshan said that.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, do you suspect that this corpse tree has any other powerful means?" Wan Changshan asked.
"That's right." Gu Zheng said.
"Isn't Fellow Daoist Bai too cautious? Although the Thousand Corpse Demon is a quasi-saint, his treasure is ultimately just to find a successor. A corpse tree guarding a treasure on the second floor is already a very powerful existence. I don't think this monster can make much waves with so many of us working together!" Elder Deng said.
"Why did Fellow Daoist Deng say that this treasure is the successor that the Thousand Corpse Demon wants to find?"
Gu Zheng naturally knew that this treasure was indeed a secret place left by the Thousand Corpse Demon to find a successor. However, from his contact with Tianxuan Sect and others, he found that the people of Tianxuan Sect didn't even know that this was a hidden treasure in the treasure. Then Elder Deng was so sure that this treasure was in order to find a successor, which made Gu Zheng feel that they seemed to have some information about this treasure that he didn't know.
Elder Deng obviously didn't expect Gu Zheng to ask this. She was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"Friend Bai, now we are in a cooperative relationship. I won't hide it from you. It's best not to take the treasures obtained from this treasure, those related to corpse refining, otherwise it will bring you endless trouble! The Thousand Corpse Demon offended many forces during his lifetime, and our Tianxuan Sect is just one of them. The Skull Palace is one of the representative immortal weapons of the Thousand Corpse Demon. The Thousand Corpse Demon said before he faced the calamity that his mantle was passed down in the Skull Palace. Now that the Skull Palace has appeared in the world, the news will spread farther and farther. I think many enemies of the Thousand Corpse Demon will come! And these people come here, in addition to wanting In addition to treasure hunting, there is another common goal, which is to destroy the inheritance of the Thousand Corpse Demon. "
Elder Deng paused, looked at Gu Zheng and smiled meaningfully: "In addition, I can tell you one more thing, there are more than a few people from our Tianxuan Sect who entered the Skull Palace this time, but the other fellows were separated when they encountered an immortal formation. Among them is a supreme elder of our Tianxuan Sect, whose cultivation is already in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. "
Elder Deng's words made Gu Zheng's heart move. He didn't expect that the quasi-saint treasure this time would be entangled with such hatred. As for Elder Deng's emphasis on their supreme elder, Gu Zheng naturally understood that this was also a reminder or a warning, so that they would weigh their actions.
"I feel that the suspicion of Fellow Daoist Bai just now does not seem to be overly cautious!" Wan Changshan frowned.
"It's not that we are overly cautious. There was an ancient giant worm in a treasure place we visited before."
"What?"
Gu Zheng's indifferent voice startled Wan Changshan and others, who almost widened their eyes at the same time. As a member of a large sect, even the lowest-level cultivators among them have read some information about ancient giant worms, so they all understand the horror of ancient giant worms.
"What kind of ancient giant worm was that?"
"What did you do later?"
Wan Changshan and Elder Deng asked successively.
"What was its strength? Let's put it this way! For an early Daluo Jinxian, it should be extremely difficult to kill the ancient giant worm with one strike. As for later, the ancient giant worm was naturally killed by us."
Gu Zheng was still very calm, while Wan Changshan and others widened their eyes. They scanned Gu Zheng and others again and again, as if they had just met Gu Zheng and others.
"Seniors, the ancient giant insect skin is a good thing. I wonder if you have it? If you do, I want to exchange some with you!"
Although Li Qingqiu called Gu Zheng and others seniors, she smiled and obviously didn't believe that Gu Zheng and others really killed an ancient giant insect. What she took out from her storage belt was a high-grade ingredient, Phoenix Eye Fruit.
"Just exchange it for a palm-sized piece, and I will never let you suffer a loss!"
Among the high-grade ingredients, Phoenix Eye Fruit is considered to be relatively good. Its value is higher than dragon bones. It is indeed reasonable to exchange it for a palm-sized piece of ancient giant insect skin.
"Okay, let's exchange it!"
Under normal circumstances, Gu Zheng really didn't bother to care about people like Li Qingqiu, but since they are now in a cooperative relationship, exchanging a piece of ancient giant insect skin for her can also save some trouble. After all, killing an ancient giant insect is a symbol of strength.
The ancient giant insect skin that Gu Zheng took out had not been processed deeply. The people of Tianxuan Sect knew at a glance that the ancient giant insect had not been dead for long. Although they did not say anything when they looked at the ancient giant insect skin, their eyes looking at Gu Zheng and others after seeing it changed subtly.
"The seniors are really amazing. They can actually kill an ancient giant insect..."
Li Qingqiu's change was obvious. She smiled beautifully while looking at Gu Zheng. There seemed to be something else in her voice, but she was interrupted by Wan Changshan before she finished speaking.
"Although the corpse tree may have other means, Bai Daoyou and others can kill some ancient giant insects. If we are careful when facing the corpse tree, there should be no problem. I wonder if Bai Daoyou has any good strategies for killing the corpse tree?"
Facing Wan Changshan's question, Gu Zheng put forward some of his ideas. After discussing it, everyone stepped into the valley.
"Spirit of the weapon, why don't you speak? What do you think of the corpse tree that you haven't met yet?" Gu Zheng asked.
"You can almost think of everything I can think of to deal with the product of corpse refining! So I have no good way, so I have to remain silent."
The spirit of the weapon paused, and then said: "However, the corpse tree you are about to face is definitely not simple, you must be careful in everything."
"Got it." Gu Zheng nodded.
The valley is very large, not an alien plane, it should be part of the immortal weapon, the Skull Palace, in which there are no plants except soil and rocks.
The valley is circular, and there is a big tree in the most important position. The round tree is about ten meters high and as thick as a house. It is the corpse tree that made Wan Changshan and others suffer before.
The corpse tree is a product of corpse refining. It is a thing like a big tree made of hundreds of corpses. Its attack method is weird and its destructive power is very strong.
Gu Zheng and others set up seven immortal formations on the road, but unfortunately the power cannot be compared with the 'immortal trap formation', it can only be said to be better than nothing!
After the immortal formation was set up, Wan Changshan copied and led the corpse tree into the immortal formation. He was still quite far away from the corpse tree, but the corpse tree that he had already felt began to shake.
The huge corpse tree rose from the ground, and the original trunk forked to form two legs, and the original branches became four arms, and the whole thing was a huge humanoid monster.
Wan Changshan pushed his palms downward in the sky, and a light flashed next to the corpse tree. Those were four ice spears that suddenly appeared, flashing and disappearing in an interlaced manner.
Tianxuan Sect is good at water immortal arts, and the ice spears used by Wan Changshan are also very powerful. They did not cause serious damage to the corpse tree when they passed through the body of the corpse tree, but only caused some yellow water to flow out of the wound of the corpse tree.
"Ah!"
The corpse tree roared to the sky, and while the yellow liquid splashed in its mouth, Wan Changshan in the sky was immediately surrounded by lightning.
Especially evil creatures like corpses, which are naturally afraid of thunder and fire, but the corpse tree's attacks are accompanied by lightning, which is enough to show its extraordinaryness! After all, it is not afraid of these things, which also means that it is not easy to deal with it with conventional means.
Wan Changshan's responsibility is to lure the enemy, so he will naturally not entangle with the corpse tree in the air. He immediately flew forward after getting rid of the lightning.
Fortunately, the corpse tree has no wisdom. Seeing Wan Changshan flying away, it immediately chased him on the ground.
The first killing array took effect, and dozens of natives with a height of ten feet appeared on the ground.
Although the dozens of natives with a height of ten feet have the strength of the early stage of the Golden Immortal, they are not real people, have no fighting skills, and can only attack with brute force.
Compared with the huge corpse tree, the natives with a height of ten feet are just like children. When they punched the corpse tree, they were hit by the corpse tree's arms and flew out like a kite with a broken string.
Before the natives could launch the second wave of attack, the corpse tree raised its feet and crushed dozens of natives one by one. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that the big feet made up of many rotten corpses could have such amazing destructive power.
After dozens of natives died, the corpse tree that broke the killing array took only a few steps before it fell into the second immortal array.
The second immortal array was of the wood element, and there were also array spirits in it, which could release powerful electric light.
As soon as the corpse tree fell into the second killing array, it was bombarded by thunderbolts.
"Gugugugu..."
Facing the bombardment of thunderbolts, the corpse tree did not move at all, and even made a sound like a person being tickled.
At this moment.
The place where Gu Zheng and others were located was still quite far away from the corpse tree. There was a light curtain in the void in front of them, and what was presented on it was exactly what the corpse tree looked like in the immortal array.
"During the first battle, I didn't set up this immortal formation because I thought lightning would have no effect on the corpse tree."
This second killing formation was set up by Elder Deng. Looking at the clarity in the light curtain, her old face was slightly embarrassed.
"Some things are not necessarily the same as the real thing. It's okay to give it a try."
When Gu Zheng finished speaking, the corpse tree, which was annoyed by the "tickling", began to launch frantic attacks in the formation. It is estimated that it will break through the formation in a short time.
Fang Xing's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Friend Bai, what do you think about using "assault" to deal with the corpse tree?"
Faced with Fang Xing's question, Gu Zheng smiled and said, "It will work wonders!"
"It's a pity that I don't have the equipment to arrange the 'raid'." Fang Xing sighed.
"I have it, but it's not enough."
"I don't have it either."
Huang Qi and Yang Jue spoke one after another.
"It's okay. I have everything I need to arrange the 'raid'."
Gu Zheng smiled slightly and flew towards the corpse tree.
"Friend Bai, where are you going?" Wan Changshan asked.
"I'm going to arrange an immortal formation too." Gu Zheng said.
