Chapter 514 News Spread by the Goblins
Huang Shan was quite surprised to see hundreds of silver needles in his hand.
"Brother Sheng, this is..."
"My silver needles are far more poisonous than yours."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Huang Shan immediately understood what he meant.
"Thank you, Brother Sheng."
After speaking, he turned his wrist rapidly, and hundreds of silver needles also moved with his movements.
Not long after, bursts of green smoke came out of the silver needles.
Huang Shan flicked his wrist, and hundreds of silver needles flew straight towards the man.
In just a moment, all the hundreds of silver needles fell into the man's body!
"Ahhh!"
A shrill scream sounded, and the man desperately slapped his body, but couldn't force out a single silver needle!
Seeing him like this, Huang Shan curled his lips coldly, raised his hand and slapped it, and went straight to his most painful acupuncture point!
In an instant, the screams stopped abruptly, and the man was fainted by the pain!
Seeing the man fainted, Shi Lou frowned.
"He fainted so quickly, isn't that too easy for him?"
Hearing this, Huang Shan smiled.
"Don't worry, I will make him wake up in the most painful way."
After saying that, he squatted beside the man, and his fingertips began to move quickly.
As he said, in just a short moment, the man woke up in the most painful way!
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had returned to hell.
But after a few minutes, he began to beg for mercy.
Huang Shan turned his head to look at Gu Sheng and asked for his opinion.
Gu Sheng didn't say anything, so he tortured the man again.
Until the man had only his last breath left, Gu Sheng said: "Put away the needles."
Huang Shan stood up, grabbed forward with his fingertips, and hundreds of silver needles fell back into his palm.
Gu Sheng hooked his hand, and his silver needles flew back obediently.
"Tell me, where did you get the news from Zixia Peak?"
This time, the man didn't dare to hide it, and said tremblingly: "It was... a goblin who spread the news..."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng's face was a little ugly.
"Gnome?"
"Yes, the goblin, it said that it met you on Yinshen Mountain, and after feeling the breath of the dark wood on you, it personally ran a trip and confirmed that the dark wood was in your hands, and then followed your breath all the way to Shitou Village and spread the news."
"Besides you Zixia Peak, who else knows this news?"
"Now... I'm afraid the whole world knows it..."
Gu Sheng moved his fingers, and the look in his eyes became a little gloomy.
"You came here based on the goblin's news. If you can get the dark wood, what benefits will you give him?"
"Anyone who gets the dark wood with this news must offer high-level spirit stones as a thank you."
"No wonder..."
After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng's sharp eyes fell on his face.
"Where is the goblin?"
Hearing this, the man turned his head slightly.
Feeling his resistance, Gu Sheng called Huang Shan again.
Seeing Huang Shan, the man finally panicked.
"Don't, don't do it, I say! The goblin's cave is just beside the Kushan Mountain dozens of miles away. It has been stationed there for decades. If you sense it carefully, you will definitely be able to detect its breath!"
After saying that, he immediately begged for mercy.
"When you go to find the goblin, can you please not expose me? Otherwise, my Zixia Peak will become an ungrateful person, and the peak master will not forgive me..."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng curled his lips coldly.
"How can a dead person become an ungrateful person? Don't worry, your peak master will not blame a dead person for the fault."
After saying that, Gu Sheng turned his head and glanced at Huang Shan.
Huang Shan understood and immediately stepped forward to take the man's life.
After dealing with this man, Gu Sheng looked at the other people in Zixia Peak and said coldly: "Don't you want to sacrifice human lives to the Yinchen Wood? Now it's time to fulfill your promise."
When these words came out, everyone in Zixia Peak trembled with fear.
They looked at each other and knelt down in front of Gu Sheng.
"Please spare our lives, we know we are wrong. We will never dare to think about the Yinchen Wood again. We are willing to cripple our right hands. Please spare our lives!"
However, Gu Sheng was indifferent to their pleas for mercy.
Because in his eyes, these people were already dead.
Shi Lou and Er Gou understood his eyes, and immediately led everyone forward to kill all the people in Zixia Peak.
When the wisps of souls were floating in the air, Gu Sheng raised his hand and waved, grasped the souls and pressed hard, and used these fresh souls to sacrifice the Yinchen Wood.
"Shi Lou, clean up this place. Our Shitou Village’s territory cannot be contaminated by their dirty corpses."
Knowing what he meant, Shi Lou hurriedly did it.
After a full hour, Shitou Village finally recovered.
"Brother Sheng, everything has been handled."
Gu Sheng nodded after taking a look.
"You guys go and rest first."
After he finished speaking, no one moved.
"Gu Sheng, the news that there is a dark wood in Shitou Village has been leaked. In addition to Zixia Peak, there are probably many people eyeing the dark wood. What should we do?"
An elder asked what everyone was thinking, and everyone looked at Gu Sheng with worry.
Gu Sheng wanted them to rest for a night and talk about this matter tomorrow, but now that someone has asked it, it seems that he can't avoid it.
After thinking about it again and again, he said: "They can steal the Yinchen Wood, but they can't steal the Stone Village made of Yin Chen Wood. If we want to keep the Yin Chen Wood, we have to speed up the reconstruction of the Stone Village. By then, not only will their idea fail, The stone village built by Yin Chenmu will also protect us."
"But the news has come out. If Zixia Peak can reach this point, other sects must be on the way. Is it too late for us to speed up now?"
"As long as we are willing to do it, everything can come in time."
Speaking of this, Gu Sheng looked at the people rescued from the Soul Refining Cave, and then cast his gaze on Huangshan's face.
"Huangshan, starting tomorrow, if I entrust you with the important task of protecting Shitou Village, will you be able to shoulder it?"
Upon hearing this, Huangshan immediately straightened his back and beat his chest loudly.
"Brother Sheng, don't worry, we will definitely protect Shitou Village! Even if we have to go through fire and water, we will not hesitate!"
After he finished speaking, others also agreed.
Gu Sheng nodded with satisfaction and pointed to several places in Stone Village.
"These are the weak points of Stone Village. Starting from tomorrow, you will guard each place, try your best to resist attacks from all parties, and buy time for us to rebuild Stone Village."
"No problem, we will try our best!"
"Okay, let's take a good rest tonight. From tomorrow on, we will do our best."
"Brother Sheng, let's stay here tonight."
"No, the spread of blood energy has not dissipated yet. No one will attack tonight. You have just experienced a battle, so take a good rest first."
Everyone did not dare to refute Gu Sheng's words and each found a place to rest.
In the early morning, Gu Sheng opened his eyes and walked quietly around every corner of Shitou Village.
Whenever he walks somewhere, a pattern will appear on his hand.
After the patterns are combined one by one, a new overall view of Shitou Village is finally formed.
When the sun rose, Gu Sheng stopped.
Seeing that he was at the edge of Stone Village, he jumped up to a high place and looked around the entire Stone Village.
Looking at Stone Village and then at the picture in his hand, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief and strode back.
At this time, in the resting place, when everyone opened their eyes, Gu Sheng was nowhere to be seen, and they suddenly panicked.
"Brother Sheng's aura is weak. He must have been gone for a while."
After feeling it carefully, Shilou spoke in a low voice, which made everyone more and more panicked.
"Shilou, do you know where Gu Sheng went?"
Hearing this, Shilou shook his head.
"Brother Sheng's strength is far superior to mine, and I can't find any trace of him."
"What should I do! Why did this good-looking person suddenly disappear? Could it be that something happened?"
"The Yin Chen Mu is still on Gu Sheng. Could it be that someone sensed the Yin Chen Mu's location and took action against him?"
As soon as this man said these words, everyone's heart sank suddenly.
Huangshan couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "You are all here, I will take people to find Brother Sheng."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shilou quickly stopped him.
"No, Stone Village is not as safe as it used to be. What if something happens if you leave alone? Brother Sheng is very strong and will return safely. If something happens to you when he comes back, how can I explain to him?"
Hearing this, Huangshan was also anxious.
"We've been awake for half an hour, but Brother Sheng hasn't shown up yet. What if something happens to him? How can you guarantee that he will return safely? He saved our lives, and we are willing to risk our lives to save him! Don't stop me!"
With that said, Huangshan waved away Shilou's hand.
Seeing how impulsive he was, Shilou stepped forward to stop him again.
Huangshan became a little angry and suppressed himself so that he did not take action.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was tense, everyone quickly stopped in the middle.
At this moment, Gu Sheng showed up.
He walked from a distance and saw the chaotic crowd at a glance.
Just when he was puzzled, the crowd moved, and he happened to see Huang Shan and Shi Lou in the crowd, who were at war with each other.
"What are you doing?! Stop it!"
Everyone looked surprised when they heard Gu Sheng's voice.
After confirming that it was him, Shilou rushed up with a quick step.
"Brother Sheng, where have you been?"
After he finished speaking, Huangshan also rushed over.
"Brother Sheng, someone is looking for trouble?"
Seeing the nervous look of the two of them, Gu Sheng smiled and shook his head.
"No one is looking for trouble. I went to plan the Stone Village. What were you doing just now? Why did everything go so well?"
After hearing Gu Sheng's question, the two of them looked a little embarrassed.
Ergou stepped forward and explained the whole story.
Knowing that the two had a dispute because of him, Gu Sheng patted them on the shoulders.
"You didn't do anything wrong. It was me who was wrong. I shouldn't have left without saying a word."
Upon hearing this, the two waved their hands.
"No, Brother Sheng, you are right. You are also thinking about our Stone Village. We are too impatient."
After Shi Lou finished speaking, the old man in the village came over and said, "You are all right. It is the intruders who are wrong. It is not that they have disturbed our peaceful life, and we will not be so worried. Gu Sheng, you said you had a plan, What are your thoughts now?”
Gu Sheng nodded, raised his hand, and the picture appeared in mid-air.
"Huangshan, starting today, you and your people will guard these positions."
After Gu Sheng accurately marked it, Huangshan nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, let's go now."
After saying that, he led everyone there quickly.
After he left, Gu Sheng looked at the old man just now: "Third Elder, you take people here today, first clean up the place, and then hammer down the dark wood as piles. Before dark, at least five pieces of wood must be hammered down."
"Don't worry, even if I stay up all night, I can do it!"
The third elder called some people and went straight to the direction Gu Sheng said.
After they left, Gu Sheng assigned tasks to others.
In the end, only a small group of people stayed with him.
Seeing that he didn't speak anymore, Er Gou hurriedly asked: "Brother Sheng, what do we do?"
"We are responsible for delivering dark wood to them. Wherever the foundation is laid, we will deliver the wood to them. Remember, we can only deliver it after the foundation is laid. Don't save trouble and put it aside, so as not to attract murderous intentions."
Understanding what he meant, everyone nodded repeatedly.
When the sun was high in the sky, the whole stone village was busy.
It was approaching noon, and everyone had no intention of resting at all.
Gu Sheng glanced at the sun in the sky, thought about it again and again, but still didn't call a halt.
After delivering the wood to the Third Elder, he was about to return when he heard the sound of fighting from afar.
He stopped and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
When he saw Huang Shan, he raised his hand and waved, and dozens of silver needles flew over.
Seeing his movements, Shi Lou hurriedly asked: "Brother Sheng, what happened over there?"
"Someone is attacking, I don't know which sect it is."
As soon as he said this, the hearts of the people around him were in their throats.
"Brother Sheng, do we need to go over to help?"
"No, Huang Shan can handle it. If he can't hold on, I will know. Don't be affected by external things, concentrate on construction, the sooner the better."
Everyone nodded and got busy again.
Until the evening, everyone still didn't stop.
Gu Sheng simply took out several night pearls and illuminated half of the stone village.
After the last piece of dark wood from the Fifth Elder was hit, everyone finally stopped panting.
"Gu Sheng, the last piece of wood has been cut down today."
"Thank you for your hard work, you guys take a break first, I'll go find Huang Shan and the others."
Gu Sheng took out some red flowers and distributed them to everyone, then went to where Huang Shan was.
The closer he got, the more pungent the smell of blood became.
Only when he got closer did he realize that there should be more than one wave of attackers today.
Because the corpses in front of him were piled up into a small hill, the clothes and tokens on their bodies were different, they should be from several sects.
After a quick look, Gu Sheng called Huang Shan.
"You've been guarding for a day, you must be exhausted?"
Hearing this, Huang Shan and the others shook their heads.
"Brother Sheng, we're not tired, we're happy to be able to defend the Stone Village."
"Are you injured?"
After Gu Sheng asked, someone quietly pulled his sleeves, but answered loudly: "No one is injured, Brother Sheng, don't worry."
Gu Sheng caught his little action and asked Huang Shan to gather everyone here.
After everyone arrived, he directly grabbed a handful of red flowers.
"Thank you for your hard work today. Hurry up and use the red flower to make up for it." (End of this chapter)
