Chapter 452 Accidentally Entering a Bandit's Lair

Just when Gu Sheng thought he was going to die like this, he suddenly felt some black and yellow energy flowing out of his body.

Gu Sheng suddenly discovered that the Xuanhuang Qi in his body did not seem to completely disappear.

Although the power was very weak, it was still flowing slowly to provide him with strength.

Gu Sheng suddenly felt confident.

As long as the power of Xuanhuang is there, there is still hope.

As time passed by, Gu Sheng's body gradually recovered under the nourishment of Xuanhuang Qi.

While his strength won't return to what it once was, he can at least move around freely.

It's just that... his appearance is a bit weird, looking a bit like a scarred face.

It can be said that it is extremely ugly!

Gu Sheng reluctantly sat up, barely supporting his upper body.

I felt dizzy, as if I had drank two bottles of Erguotou.

But, at least there is still life.

"As long as you're alive...there's hope if you're alive!"

Gu Sheng encouraged himself.

He looked around. If a wild boar, living, hungry wolf or something really appeared here, he would definitely die.

So, Gu Sheng raised his head and glanced at the high cliff.

After choosing a relatively easy place to climb, I was ready to try to see if I could leave the valley.

Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with despair.

At this time, his leg was seriously injured, and every time he moved, it felt like he was being pricked by thousands of needles.

"What a fucking disaster!"

Gu Sheng cursed secretly, then gritted his teeth and began to climb hard.

“You can’t give up, even if you have to climb, you have to climb out of this valley.

Gu Sheng encouraged himself in his heart.

The night was getting darker, the moonlight shone through the sparse clouds and fell on Gu Sheng's body, and the coolness was getting stronger.

Especially at night in the mountains, it's even colder!

However, these cold injuries are nothing.

In this way, he used all his strength to climb up inch by inch.

Unknowingly, Gu Sheng's fingers were scratched by the rocks.

Blood and sweat mixed together, and heartbreaking pain came one after another.

But Gu Sheng did not stop. If he stopped, he might never stand up again.

Time passed by minute by second, and Gu Sheng's physical strength was constantly being consumed.

He thought of his family in another world and his former friends, including Ji Ziyue, Yan Ruyu, Bai Yiyi, Li Ruoyu, and the coquettish Holy Lady of Light.

The sound of the Holy Lady of Shaking Light made Gu Sheng feel sad, "I don't know what happened to that girl, but she should be better than me, damn! She actually made me a gangster..."

Unconsciously, Gu Sheng climbed to the top of the cliff.

He gasped and looked up.

And the sight before him made his eyes light up!

I saw that there was a basin below. The center of the basin was brightly lit, like a military camp.

"Very good!"

Gu Sheng felt a surge of hope in his heart.

As long as you can find someone, you will definitely be saved.

He continued to crawl forward hard, hoping to get treatment as soon as possible.

Bang Chi Bang Chi...

I don’t know how much effort Gu Sheng put in. When he finally climbed to the entrance of the camp, two guards dressed like ordinary people stepped forward to stop him.

Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they asked directly, "Where are you from! Tell me quickly!"

"Quick! If you don't say anything, don't blame us for being rude!"

The two guards said coldly.

Gu Sheng gasped and made up a lie: "I went up the mountain to collect herbs. I accidentally fell off the cliff and climbed here."

"Um?"

The two guards looked at each other, as if considering whether Gu Sheng's words were credible.

They did not let Gu Sheng in immediately, but muttered something.

"Well, I'll go and inform the boss right away."

One of the guards said to his companions, turned around and ran back.

"Boss? Not a general?"

When Gu Sheng heard this, he felt uneasy.

But it has come, and there is no way to escape, so we can only obey fate.

He just didn't know what would happen next, but one thing he knew was that he had no way out.

Soon, a burly man with a sinewy face came out.

His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts.

"Boss, it's him!"

The guard who just ran back reported to his boss.

The boss looked Gu Sheng up and down, and then asked coldly: "Are you really a herbal collector?"

Gu Sheng nodded and tried to look harmless: "Yes, sir, I just wanted to pick some herbs, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

"snort!"

The big man snorted, obviously not believing what Gu Sheng said.

Then he waved his hand and asked his men to bring Gu Sheng in.

Gu Sheng was taken to a simple room with a few candles lit.

The light was dim, and the leading man was sitting on a shabby chair, staring at Gu Sheng.

"What's your name? Why are you here?"

The big man's voice was full of authority.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, and he naturally knew that he could not tell his true identity, otherwise his life might be in danger.

"My name is Xiao Sheng, and I am a mountain dweller nearby. Because there are patients at home, I risked going up the mountain to collect medicine."

Gu Sheng replied.

The big man's brows furrowed, as if he was judging the authenticity of Gu Sheng's words.

"call……"

Gu Sheng sighed slightly and tried to make his expression appear natural.

At this juncture, any flaw may lead to death.

"Collecting herbs? There are many ferocious beasts and poisonous insects in this mountain. You dare to come here alone. You are very brave."

The big man sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

Gu Sheng's heart sank, knowing that his words were not perfect.

But the atmosphere has reached this point, so I can only bite the bullet and continue to make up.

"My mother at home is seriously ill, so I have no choice. In addition, this is my first time collecting medicine, and I am not too familiar with the environment here."

Gu Sheng explained.

"first……"

The big man was silent for a while, then waved his hand and signaled to the men next to him: "Take him down and check him carefully to see if there is anything hidden on him."

"yes!"

Then, Gu Sheng was taken to a simple wooden house by two strong men.

They began searching his body and clothing.

Gu Sheng was secretly glad that he did not carry anything that could reveal his identity.

His clothes were in tatters and there was nothing on him except some dirt and grass clippings.

After the search, the two strong men reported to the big man: "What a bad luck! Boss, there is nothing on this kid."

"OK!"

The big man nodded, seeming to trust Gu Sheng's words a little more.

"Well, since you are a mountain man, then stay and help us with some chores. When your injuries are healed, we will consider letting you go back."

"real?"

Gu Sheng was delighted.

Although he has temporarily lost his freedom, at least his life is safe.

"Thank you boss, I will do a good job."

Gu Sheng said directly and seriously.

After the big man left, the two guards looked at Gu Sheng and suddenly laughed.

"Hahaha... this kid is so funny..."

"Haha... I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng was very puzzled.

"Brothers, why are you laughing?"

He asked with a frown.

One of the guards patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Boy, you are really naive. You will know tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface: "Oh? Then I'm really looking forward to tomorrow."

The guards said nothing more, just smiled at each other, turned and left.

Gu Sheng looked at their backs, feeling secretly wary.

But right now, he had no other choice but to have a good night's rest first.

In the dead of night, Gu Sheng lay on the simple wooden bed, feeling the silence around him.

He closed his eyes, tried to regulate his breathing, and entered a meditative state.

However, his thoughts could never calm down.

At this time, his mind kept replaying everything that happened during the day.

Especially the code words of the two guards, naive? Is this some kind of black coal kiln?

But that’s not right, right? Even if it is a black coal kiln, there is no coal mine here?

Ignore it for now, let’s take a rest.

Just like that, Gu Sheng fell into a deep sleep.

When it was almost dawn, Gu Sheng suddenly felt that his wound was itchy.

This feeling is a sign that the wound is beginning to heal.

His heart moved and he immediately sat up.

If it can be catalyzed by divine power, the wound will recover faster.

But he knew better that there was not much divine power left in his body.

If you use it now, you will really become useless in the short term.

“To fix or not to fix?”

Gu Sheng was a little confused.

After gritting his teeth, I felt like I had no choice.

Then he sat cross-legged with pain in his ninja legs, trying hard to summon up the remaining divine power in his body, trying to guide it to the wound.

"Swish, swish, swish..."

Divine power was like a small stream, flowing slowly through Gu Sheng's body.

Under the control of Gu Sheng's consciousness, it finally gathered at the wound.

Wherever the divine power reaches, the itching sensation of the wound becomes more intense.

Gu Sheng knew that this was a good sign, indicating that the wound was healing quickly.

He did not dare to be careless and controlled his divine power carefully, for fear of accidentally depleting this precious power.

Gradually, Gu Sheng felt the pain in the wound gradually lessen.

Instead there was a feeling of warmth and comfort.

"call……"

Gu Sheng let out a long breath, knowing that his wound was almost healed.

"Ding-deng-deng!"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.

Gu Sheng was shocked and quickly gathered his power and pretended to be asleep.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a guard poked his head in to take a look.

Seeing that Gu Sheng was still sleeping, he sneered and said, "This kid is quite capable of sleeping!"

"Boom!"

The guard stepped forward and kicked Gu Sheng's simple bed down.

"What's going on?"

Gu Sheng deliberately pretended to wake up and rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"Get up! Come out with me!"

The guard said impatiently.

"oh."

Gu Sheng responded and walked out of the house limping with his right leg.

He found that there were many mountain people squatting in a row outside.

Their clothes were in tatters, their faces were full of vicissitudes of life, and their eyes revealed their despair for life.

"I'll go..."

Gu Sheng's heart sank, realizing that the situation might be worse than he expected.

"What do I need to do?"

Gu Sheng asked cautiously.

The guard directly pulled Gu Sheng to a few old mountain people and said coldly: "You squat with them, waiting for today's mission!"

"oh."

Gu Sheng responded and moved over.

The old mountain people looked at Gu Sheng with regret in their hearts.

"Alas... What a pity!"

One of the older mountain people came up to Gu Sheng and whispered: "Young man, why are you here?"

"What's wrong?"

Gu Sheng pretended to be ignorant.

"You are in trouble. These bandits are the Happy Gang. They are cruel and ruthless. People in our village are captured by them to work. If they are not careful, they will be beaten."

"What? Happy Gang?"

Gu Sheng's heart tightened.

He had heard before that the Happy Gang was a small gang in the Yaoguang Holy Land.

It's just that this gang only cares about being free and easy, and doesn't think about the future at all.

It can be said that it is a gathering place for short-sighted people...

So it is notorious!

Gu Sheng knew that he had to be more careful so that he could find a chance to escape as soon as possible.

"You guys! Come here!"

"You guys! Come here, divide into groups!"

"Yes! Hurry! Don't dawdle!"

The bandits of the Happy Gang divided the mountain people into several groups and assigned different tasks.

Gu Sheng was assigned to the porter group, responsible for moving some heavy wooden boxes from one end of the valley to the other.

These wooden boxes were very heavy, and obviously they contained important things.

Gu Sheng secretly observed while carrying them.

He found that these wooden boxes were engraved with some strange symbols, which seemed to be some kind of mark.

What exactly was in these wooden boxes?

Could it be the bandits' treasure?

If so, this might be an opportunity to take advantage of.

The porter work was very hard, although Gu Sheng's legs had not fully recovered.

But he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Because here, only by performing well enough can you win the trust of the bandits and find a chance to escape.

Night fell again, and Gu Sheng and other mountain people were taken back to the camp.

This time Gu Sheng was not locked in a single room, but was locked in a simple wooden shed with others.

There were bandits guarding the door of the wooden shed, and they looked very strict.

Suddenly, the bandit leader brought two cultivators into the wooden shed.

Gu Sheng knew at a glance that the abilities of these two cultivators should still be at the Divine Bridge Realm.

But now he was a useless person and could not fight at all.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened. If he was discovered, he would be in great danger.

"Chichichi!"

At this time, the two cultivators suddenly mobilized their divine power and sensed the aura in the wooden shed.

Their eyes were like falcons, scanning every mountain dweller.

Suddenly, one of the cultivators pointed at a white-haired old man, "He is also a cultivator, and there is divine power fluctuation in his body."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, the bandit leader's eyes flashed with greed.

"Go! Drag this old guy out, I want to interrogate him personally."

"Yes!"

Several bandits rushed in.

The old man's eyes suddenly became horrified, and he hurriedly explained: "Boss, I did practice a little when I was young, but now I don't have much power at all, just some superficial knowledge."

"Haha...really? Then I will see how much power you have."

The bandit leader sneered. (End of this chapter)
