Chapter 980

When there are more people, the progress of the journey becomes slower.

There were more than thirty bandits, starting from Ma Duo, and everyone had a smile on their face. They seemed to see hope and happiness. Their needs were actually very simple, as long as they had enough food and safety.

Ma Duo felt that he had done the right thing and brought them here with him. At least everyone would be able to eat enough these days. In just five days, the children who were originally sallow and thin now had a rosy complexion and seemed to have gained some weight. The same goes for those women. They can eat well every day and look better than before.

They originally had six children, but unfortunately, the other three children were too young and did not survive. In a poor bandit den like them, the survival rate of children is even lower, and those who survive are all lucky.

With so many people in the group, Gu Zheng couldn't stay in other villagers' homes. With so many people, the village didn't dare to let them in, so he could only stay with them, eating and sleeping in the open air every day.

Fortunately, five days later, they encountered a big market and got two more horses. Gu Zheng made two more simple carriages, so that the children and the thin women could ride on the carriage and be able to carry There is also more food.

It was a thousand miles from Wujia Town. Gu Zheng and the others walked for twenty days, with an average of only fifty miles per day, which was more than twice as slow as when they left before. But no matter what, they finally came back. , returned to Huiyuan Village.

"How could this happen? Where are the people in the village?"

Aunt Cui happily entered the village, but she soon became frightened. There was no sound or popularity in the village. Aunt Cui entered several people's homes. No one was there. There was dust everywhere. It was obvious that no one had lived there for a long time. .

Not only that, some people's homes looked very messy, and you could tell what had happened before.

"Wu You, Ma Duo!"

Gu Zheng's face darkened a little, and he immediately called out. Wu You and Ma Duo stepped forward together, both looking at Gu Zheng.

"You two, get on those two horses and go to the surrounding villages to check immediately. If anyone is there, ask them what's going on!"

Gu Zheng ordered them, and the two immediately took the order and left. They had three horses, but Xiao Bailong would never let others ride them. He could only ride the other two horses. Wu You was familiar with this place, and the horses were mostly smart. It is most suitable for the two of them to go and inquire.

"Aunt Cui, let's go home first!"

Gu Zheng called Aunt Cui, who was already crying. In fact, Gu Zheng also understood that the village might have been damaged by rice seedlings, and all of this was inseparable from him.

At first, he was weak and had no choice but to escape, otherwise it would be useless to stay. For the sake of the villagers, he also spread the news, hoping that the villagers would go out and hide. But he didn't know how many people would believe it and how many people would actually hide.

Looking at it now, the monster must have come to take revenge, but I don't know what the damage will be.

There is nothing that can be done about it. It has been doomed since Gu Zheng entered the sermon scene, unless he is willing to surrender and let the two people take him away, but this is impossible. Although Gu Zheng does not kill, he is not pedantic either. People who sacrifice themselves for others.

To put it bluntly, he is responsible, but it is the monster that kills and eats people, and it is all his fault, which does not make sense.

The root of everything is still the monster. The monster has been eating the hearts of children like them for a long time and deceiving them. When the monster continues to grow and become stronger, the losses on their side will only get bigger and bigger, and sooner or later it will still happen. One day.

Aunt Cui returned to her home. His home was in a mess, and it was obvious that it had been searched.

Fortunately, Gu Zheng took her away in the first place. If she had stayed, the result could be imagined. The monster would not show mercy to anyone. Unless, like the two people before, she helped him harm others, he would stay.

Wu You and Ma Duo came back soon. They both found a nearby village. There were people in the village over there and asked about the situation.

The monster did come, looking for the people who killed his men. After catching the people, those captured quickly told him who had killed his men, so they went to Huiyuan Village.

Only half of the people in Huiyuan Village hid out. This was because they knew that Aunt Gu Zheng and Cui and the others were in their own village, so they would rather believe that they were there and hide out first. The remaining half who didn't hide were almost all killed by the monster. Brutal killing.

The monster also said that if Gu Zheng did not return the treasure to him within a year, he would come back and continue to massacre the village.

As a result, people from Huiyuan Village naturally did not dare to come back. The remaining half of the people moved collectively. No one knew where they had gone, at least not the nearby villagers. No nearby villagers dared to take them in. Can make them go away.

"Another village plagued by monsters. If the monsters are not eliminated, it will be difficult for our lives to be stable!"

Ma Duo hammered the tree next to him so hard that his hands broke the skin. He hated monsters the most. His home was plagued by monsters. In the end, only the four of them ran out. The four of them were lucky, otherwise they would have run away. Don't fall off.

This village was also harmed by monsters, which resonated with him.

"Aunt Cui, don't worry, I have a certain responsibility for what happened this time, and I will definitely avenge you!"

Gu Zheng comforted Aunt Cui. Half of the villagers were killed, most of whom he had seen before, and he felt uncomfortable.

But this was the prehistoric era. Not to mention now, even in the prehistoric era when the human race became more powerful in later generations, monsters would still harm people. It was just that the monsters were not so rampant at that time. Smart monsters did not dare to harm people, and only a few stupid ones. Monsters only harm people. Once discovered, they will be quickly eliminated.

Unfortunately, now is not that time. At this time, the human race is still very weak. Even if some immortals can help the villagers take revenge, the number is limited, and most of the murdered villagers will not get justice.

"Ma Duo, Wu You, take everyone with you and head to Fucheng first!"

Gu Zheng suddenly said something. He originally planned to come to Aunt Cui's house and let everyone settle here, but now it seems that it is no longer possible. There is no one in the village, and it is not safe for them to live there.

Gu Zheng had planned to go to Fucheng before, but later changed the plan because of the monster incident. Now he just moved forward the original plan.

"Sir, what about you?"

Ma Duo looked at Gu Zheng worriedly. Although he looked rough and arrogant, he was smarter than Wu You. When Gu Zheng said this, he already understood what Gu Zheng meant.

"I'm going to avenge everyone. Don't worry, I'm sure to deal with that monster!"

Gu Zheng's eyes flashed sharply. He had not originally planned to find the monster so quickly. Although there was the Immortal-Slaying Gourd, the Immortal-Slaying Gourd was not omnipotent after all. It would be best to allow him to cultivate to the fourth level and reach the realm of immortals before going.

But what happened to the villagers in Huiyuan Village made it impossible for him to wait any longer. If he continued to wait, he would only blame himself. In any case, he was also responsible for this. If he had not exposed all this, the monster would not have come to his door. He wouldn't have harmed so many people in Huiyuan Village.

He must avenge this revenge, and he must do it now.

"I'll go too!"

Tao suddenly said something, even though he only knew how to play and didn't talk much at ordinary times, at the critical moment he understood the dangers of ancient disputes, so he had to follow.

"You can't go. Xiao Bailong and I can go. You go to Fucheng with everyone and set off early tomorrow morning!"

Gu Zheng immediately shook his head. If Tao cultivated to the realm of immortals, it would be okay to let him go, but he hadn't arrived yet. At this time, Tao was only one step away from the realm of immortals, and he might break through at any time.

If Tao practiced like him, I'm afraid he would have already broken through. But the two of them have fundamentally different temperaments, and it's impossible for Tao to be like him. Let's not talk about these assumptions.

"I'm more confident on my own. You have to follow Aunt Cui and the others. If someone bullies them on the way, they won't be bullied with you here!"

Seeing that Tao was staring at him, Gu Zheng went to coax him again. There were so many people with Aunt Cui and the others, so it was unlikely that they would be bullied on the road. Gu Zheng said this to coax Tao and let him go together.

Tao followed him, not as a helper but as a burden. At this time, we could only separate.

"Remember, protect Aunt Cui and the others, and wait for me to join you!"

Gu Zheng said something to Tao again, and Tao reluctantly nodded. From the time they came to the prehistoric era to now, Gu Zheng and Tao have never been separated. They usually separated occasionally just for fun, but this time they had to be separated for several days. Gu Zheng also felt uncomfortable.

But it had to be this way, he was going for revenge, not for fun.

However, he was indeed sure. Based on the information Wu You and Ma Duo found out, Gu Zheng already had a rough guess about the monster.

This monster came flying and was wrapped in black smoke, which shows that the monster's state is to refine the gas and reach the state of becoming a god. There is no need to fly in smoke. The monster wrapped in smoke is similar to the immortal wielding a sword. It is only needed during the refining and gasification stage.

Of course, this is not absolute, but this monster is definitely not a golden immortal. A golden immortal will not do this. Just like a golden immortal, it is impossible to fly with a sword. It is very embarrassing for them. .

Even the Sword Immortals from Shushan do not wield swords when they reach the Golden Immortal realm. However, some disciples who have transformed into gods or even returned to the Void realm like to wield swords. It is just a habit. After all, they basically no longer know how to do it when they reach the Golden Immortal realm.

The Golden Immortal's sword actually affected their speed.

It would be better if the opponent is a Heavenly Immortal, so that Gu Zheng will be more certain. If it is in the Qi Transformation stage, Gu Zheng will be more sure. He now has the strength of the mid-fifth level. With his Tiexian Immortal Art, even in the Qi Transformation state Monsters can't kill him with one blow.

As long as he is given a chance, the monster will definitely be killed by him.

Early the next morning, Wu You, Ma Duo and the others left with Aunt Cui and the others, and Tao was among them. As Tao left, he looked back three times, and had agreed with Gu Zheng to come over as soon as possible.

Although Tao is young, he doesn't understand everything anymore. After so long, his spiritual intelligence has grown rapidly. At this time, he is definitely much stronger than an ordinary four-year-old child.

Three days after Wu You and the others set off, Gu Zheng rode on the little white dragon and headed towards the monster's lair.

When he interrogated the two monster human subordinates before, Gu Zheng asked where the monster's cave was. It was more than a thousand miles away from here in a place called Hualong Mountain. Gu Zheng was alone, riding a small white dragon. , can travel almost two to three hundred miles in one day. Xiao Bailong's endurance is very strong, so he can arrive within five days.

Gu Zheng was also worried that if he failed, the monster would come back to take revenge, so he deliberately set out a few days later so that Wu You and the others would be far away and would be much safer.

Five days later, Gu Zheng's small body was riding on a horse, looking at a towering mountain in the distance. This was Hualong Mountain. There were no people within a hundred miles around, but people a hundred miles away had heard that there were monsters here, but monsters He had never done any evil, so he didn't pay much attention to it and only heard it as a rumor.

The reason why this monster doesn't do evil is because he has two smart human subordinates who help him catch human children. They use deception to get humans to send them over on their own initiative and are grateful to them. Now those two humans have been captured by the ancients. Strive to eliminate it. There is no such method for this monster. I'm afraid it won't be long before it comes back to harm the world.

However, Gu Zheng will not give him this opportunity again. No matter what, he will eliminate him today.

The biggest problem for Gu Zheng now is that he is not well-informed. When he interrogated the two people before, he still did not interrogate them in detail.

He knew that there was more than one monster, but Gu Zheng did not know how many of them had reached the Qi transformation realm. He had not asked before, but from the answers of the two, it can be seen that this monster is the most decisive and is the biggest leader. All monsters must call him the king.

In this way, it is most likely that he is the only monster in the Qi transformation realm.

As long as they have not reached the Qi transformation realm, Gu Zheng does not care about those little monsters with spiritual intelligence at all. Now he has the strength of the middle stage of the fifth level, and these little monsters are definitely not his opponents.

However, Gu Zheng still made the worst plan, that is, the opponent has more than one monster in the Qi transformation realm. In that case, after he kills one, the other will definitely be on guard, and he needs to find a way to escape.

To escape from a monster that has reached the celestial fairy realm, it is necessary to make arrangements in advance.

At the foot of the mountain, Gu Zheng began to arrange simple formations. These formations were not powerful, but they could hinder people in the celestial realm for a period of time, giving him enough time to escape. Gu Zheng arranged more than one formation to ensure that he could escape, or give himself enough time to activate the Immortal Slaying Gourd.

After doing all this, another day passed. The next morning, after Gu Zheng adjusted his breath and recuperated, he walked towards the mountain.

He left the little white dragon aside. The little white dragon was the horse king, and ordinary people could not rely on it. But this time they were dealing with monsters, and there were monsters in the celestial realm. The little white dragon could not help much, so it was better to let it wait outside.

If Gu Zheng could not go back, the little white dragon could leave by himself. It was originally the horse king, and it would just go back to where it lived.

Gu Zheng was also prepared to not be able to go back, including to Tao's place, but all these were arranged for Ma Duo. Tao did not know. Except for Ma Duo, no one knew about his arrangements.

When he came to the foot of the mountain, Gu Zheng did not walk, but set up an incense table. After the incense table was set up, Gu Zheng took down the gourd that had been tied around his waist and placed it in the center of the incense table.

Finally, he took out the box containing the Mirage Dragon Pearl and opened it.

As soon as the box was opened, the breath of the Dragon Pearl immediately spread out. After a while, a puff of black smoke appeared on the mountain. Soon, the black smoke rolled up a monster with green scales on its face and two small spikes on its head and flew down.

The monster probably still looked like a human, but it had not completely transformed into a human.

"Baby, Mirage Dragon Pearl, are you the one who killed me and stole my Mirage Dragon Pearl?"

After the monster landed on the ground, it did not attack directly, but asked Gu Zheng a question. Gu Zheng smiled slightly, suddenly bent down, and clasped his fists to the incense table.

His actions made the monster confused. He looked at Gu Zheng in confusion and soon laughed.

"You are begging for mercy, but it's useless. If you dare to kill my people, I will eat you. You are a tender child, and your heart must be delicious. But since you came to me on your own initiative, I will not kill your other people!"

"Baby, please turn around!"

Gu Zheng suddenly said, and the monster frowned again, not understanding what Gu Zheng meant by this. As Gu Zheng finished speaking, the gourd on the incense table suddenly turned, and a yellow light came out.

"Baby!"

The monster's eyes lit up, but he didn't react yet. His sight suddenly felt wrong. Why did he look up at the sky? Soon, he saw a headless body, which was spraying blood.

This body is so familiar, it seems to be him. He seemed to understand something, and he wanted to move with his hands and feet, but soon his eyes went black and he knew nothing.

At this time, there was no Conferred God List, and it could still protect its true spirit. If it was killed by the Immortal Slaying Gourd, it was killed, and it couldn't die anymore.

Gu Zheng let out a sigh of relief. Everything went more smoothly than he had imagined. He didn't waste time talking to the monster. He came here to take revenge and kill the monster. The monster himself admitted that he had done everything.

The monster didn't say that he killed the people from Huiyuan Village, but he said that he would not kill them again, which was equivalent to admitting it.

Gu Zheng's strength was not as good as his. If he was in other realms, it would be fine. The difference between the realm of immortals and non-immortals was too big. Moreover, he was too weak now and many powerful immortal skills could not be used, so he had to be cautious. The monster didn't snatch the dragon ball when he came up, but asked arrogantly, which was exactly what Gu Zheng wanted.

As the saying goes, bad people die because they talk too much, which is not without reason.

The monster died and soon appeared in a round shape. It was a green python with dragon horns on its forehead. If he continued to practice, it was estimated that there was a great hope that he could turn into a dragon.

No wonder he occupied Hualong Mountain. He probably wanted a good start. It is also possible that he named the mountain. However, all this is not important to Gu Zheng. What is important is that he has avenged the villagers.

This is a monster in the Qi transformation realm. Although it is a snake monster, it also has many treasures.

Gu Zheng was not polite. He took a knife and went forward. He first dug out the snake gallbladder and peeled off the snake skin. Gu Zheng did not want the snake meat. This monster has already had intelligence. Gu Zheng would not eat his meat. Eating his meat always feels weird.

However, his snake tendons are good things. They are not as good as dragon tendons, but much better than ordinary animal tendons. They can be made into a good bow and arrow. After cleaning up the body of the monster, Gu Zheng sat there quietly. He did not go up the mountain or leave.
