Chapter 524: Conspiracy in the Dark

Looking at Shilou, Gu Sheng felt dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's go, a team has already passed us."

Everyone continued to move forward along the path, but the smell of blood became stronger as they went up the mountain.

"Hey."

Ergou suddenly exclaimed, his feet stumbled, and he almost fell down the mountain.

Huang Shan was frightened and raised his hand to grab him.

"Be careful!"

"I stepped on a rock, it was so round that I almost slipped off!"

Ergou angrily kicked it hard, and a piece of white bone flew in front of everyone's eyes!

"No, this...this..."

After stepping back, Ergou staggered again.

"Hey!"

Shi Lou, with quick eyes and quick hands, caught him again.

"Are you going to fight against this mountain criminal? Why do you fall more and more as you go higher?"

"I don't know either. I almost fell when my foot slipped."

"You stepped on a bone again?"

"It doesn't seem like..."

Ergou turned his head as he spoke, but when he turned around, a bloody arm appeared at his feet!

"Fuck, I stepped on an arm! Brother Sheng, I stepped on an arm!"

Hearing the exclamation, Gu Sheng hurried to his side.

Seeing the broken arm, he thought about it and picked it up.

Seeing Gu Sheng pick up the severed arm, everyone took a step back unconsciously.

At this time, Gu Sheng said: "This person is from the sect in front of us."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked from ear to ear.

"Brother Sheng, are you sure?"

"Make sure, they all have markings on their wrists, you can tell at a glance."

"But why did he break his arm?"

"Not only did he have a broken arm, he was dead."

"What? He's dead!"

"Looking at the top, the flesh has turned black. It's obvious that he was poisoned, causing the inner energy to explode, and the body exploded to death. Only one arm collapsed here, and the rest... I guess there's not even a scrap left?"

Thinking about this kind of death, everyone felt frightened.

"Who gave him the poison? Aren't you afraid of destroying the spirit of the spirit bead?"

After Shilou asked, Huangshan said: "It may not be the action of other gangs, it may also be the action of the elves and ghosts in Nanshan itself."

Gu Sheng particularly agreed with this.

"That's right, along the way we not only encountered wild beasts, but also river clams, all of which were refined by the energy of Nanshan. There might be something else as we go up, so everyone must be careful."

After thinking about it, Gu Sheng took out the pearl, looked at it again and again, and swallowed it directly.

"Everyone, swallow the pearls. Right now, being strong is the best way to protect yourself."

Everyone knew that what he said was right, so they swallowed the pearls one after another.

In an instant, divine power burst out from several people, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to become more lush.

In order to prevent these flowers and plants from turning into spirits, Gu Sheng deliberately released his inner strength to suppress the spiritual energy. After confirming that everything was safe, they left.

In the next two days, they saw many stumps and broken arms, some of which were familiar and some of which they did not recognize. The number of bones under these stumps and broken arms was even more shocking. This shows that what exactly is Nanshan? How many lives have been lost!

Nearing the top of the mountain, Gu Sheng felt that the air was getting colder and colder.

Turning to look at Shi Lou and the others, he found that their faces were a little blue.

Knowing that they were deliberately suppressing the divine power, Gu Sheng said, "Don't suppress the divine power, otherwise you will freeze to death before you reach the top of the mountain."

"Brother Sheng, if we release our divine power, will it attract wild beasts?"

"As we approach the top of the mountain, the location becomes increasingly narrow. Even if we don't release our divine power, there is a risk of being discovered. In this case, it's better to save our lives first."

After thinking about it, everyone felt that what he said made sense, so they released their magical power and slowly restored their body temperature.

As they continued to adjust, two pairs of eyes in the distance stared at them.

"Luan Yun, look if that's Gu Sheng!"

"Yes, it's him! If we weren't close to the top of the mountain, I would have killed him!"

Listening to Luan Yun's gritted teeth, Zhang Ping rolled his eyes and raised his lips evilly.

"We can't kill him, but if he dies, it has nothing to do with us, right? The spirit beads are so spiritual, they will definitely not blame us."

After he finished speaking, Luan Yun opened his eyes wide.

"Brother Zhang Ping, what can you do?"

"Looking at Gu Sheng's position, those boulders don't seem to be stable. The road below is so narrow. Do you think they would be killed if these boulders fell?"

Hearing this, Luan Yun's eyes lit up, but soon darkened again.

"We are approaching the top of the mountain. What if we release our divine power and it really affects the aura of the spirit bead?"

"Looking at the size of the stone, it seems that our Heisha Sect plus the number of people in Zixia Peak can push it without any divine power."

Luan Yun was extremely happy when she finally understood what he meant.

"Brother Zhang Ping is still smart. In this case, we will go up the mountain first and kill them from above."

The two hit it off immediately, quietly walked around from the side, and went up the mountain first.

At this time, everyone's body temperature on Gu Sheng's side has completely recovered.

Looking at their energetic appearance, Gu Sheng did not forget to say: "Don't be happy too early, it's just not cold now, the higher you go to the top, the colder it will be. You should adapt as soon as possible. There are not many teams going up the mountain now, but there must be more than one of us. The road above is getting narrower and narrower, and it is inevitable that we will meet them. We must be energetic at that time. From now on, we must keep our eyes and ears open, and we can't miss any one of them."

"Brother Sheng, don't worry, we won't be careless about life-threatening matters."

After listening to their assurances, Gu Sheng nodded and continued to move up with a few people.

Before the night approached, Gu Sheng looked at the road ahead and suddenly stopped.

"We won't go tonight, we'll rest here."

"Brother Sheng, it's not dark yet, are we resting too early?"

"Not early, there are more rocks above, if there are other teams above, we may die if we move forward, it's safer here."

Understanding what he meant, everyone immediately retreated.

Just after taking two steps back, Shi Lou found something wrong behind him. He turned around and pushed, and found that it was actually a cave.

"Brother Sheng, there is a cave here!"

Hearing this, Er Gou nervously grabbed him.

"Don't look inside. What if there is a wild beast inside?"

"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Can't I feel the breath? If it is a cave of wild beasts, I will know it as soon as I explore it."

As he said, Shi Lou released a weak divine power and cautiously explored inside.

After the night, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's okay, there are no wild beasts inside, but I don't know why, the breath inside is a bit strange, Brother Sheng, why don't you try it?"

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Sheng strode over.

It has been decided to rest here, and they have plenty of time to explore.

After experiencing the river clam incident, Gu Sheng was full of curiosity about every place here.

After releasing a weak divine power, Gu Sheng pushed Shen Li to explore inside little by little.

It is unknown how far his strength has explored, and everyone only saw that his expression suddenly froze.

Seeing his expression change, everyone couldn't help but get nervous, but Gu Sheng was still releasing his divine power. They didn't dare to disturb him and could only watch him.

After a while, Gu Sheng retracted his divine power and exhaled a long breath.

Shi Lou couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Sheng, do you feel the strange breath inside?"

"I feel it."

"Really! Can you feel what it is?"

"It seems to be the purple spirit grass."

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, Shi Lou's eyes almost popped out.

"Brother Sheng, you said there is purple spirit grass in this cave? Purple spirit grass that can cure all diseases and keep you young?"

"Purple spirit grass can't cure all diseases, it can only protect your meridians at any time, but it can really keep you young."

"It can protect your meridians at any time, isn't it a life-saving medicine? The outside world has spread this medicinal material as miraculous, and I have never seen it. Brother Sheng, can we go in and take a look?"

"Okay, let's go in and take a look. If it is really purple spirit grass, our trip is worth it."

Others thought so too, and they were immediately excited.

It is said that the effect of purple spirit grass is more than ten times stronger than that of fire red flower. They have personally experienced the effect of fire red flower, which has already amazed them. If they can get purple spirit grass, it will be perfect!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't wait to get in.

"Brother Sheng, are you sure we won't leave tonight and stay here?"

"Yes, it's late, it's not safe up there, if a rock falls, it might kill a few people."

"Okay, I feel more at ease with a whole night."

Several people strode in. The cave was pitch black. Gu Sheng took out the night pearl to illuminate it, and everyone kept moving forward along the cave.

After walking an unknown distance, Gu Sheng suddenly heard a sound.

Seeing that Ergou, who was at the front, was still walking in, he embraced the light of the night pearl and whispered, "Ergou, come to the back, I'll lead the way."

Ergou didn't know what happened, but he also knew that Gu Sheng must have his reasons for saying this suddenly, so he quickly gave up his position and quickly retreated to the back.

Gu Sheng walked in the front, and his pace was obviously much slower than before.

After turning a corner, he suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone behind him.

Shilou looked forward from above his arm and saw nothing, which made him a little confused.

"Brother Sheng, there is nothing in front of you. Did you notice anything?"

"There is a python in front of you, at the bottom of the stone wall on the right, black, and close to it."

As soon as Gu Sheng said this, Shi Lou felt his scalp tingling and all the hair on his body stood up.

He looked over there again, and after a careful look, he finally found something strange.

"Brother Sheng, I saw it. What should I do now? Should I continue?"

"The purple spirit grass is under the python."

Gu Sheng did not directly say whether to continue, but told everyone that the purple spirit grass was under the python.

Hearing this, several people looked at each other, and finally Huang Shan said: "Brother Sheng, since there is purple spirit grass, let's give it a try."

"What do other people think?"

"Brother Sheng, we have the same idea as Huang Shan!"

"Okay, then let's give it a try."

After making the decision, Gu Sheng directly took out the Fire Spirit Dagger and approached the black python little by little.

The black python seemed to sense the presence of people, and its body moved slowly. It raised its head and looked up, its two eyes shining like night pearls.

Gu Sheng paused and raised his hand to stop the people behind him.

"Don't act rashly, wait for me here."

Hearing this, Shi Lou grabbed him.

"Brother Sheng, this black python is very powerful. I'm afraid you can't deal with it alone. Let's go together."

"No, this place is small, and we are many. Once we start fighting, it's easy to hurt our own people. I'll go to meet it, and you guys act according to the situation."

After saying that, Gu Sheng pushed his hand away and walked forward alone.

Seeing that he was still approaching, the black python began to spit out his tongue.

Knowing that the other party had some spirituality, Gu Sheng carried the fire spirit dagger behind him.

"We have no intention of hurting you. We are here only for the Purple Spirit Grass. If you are willing to give up the Purple Spirit Grass, I promise not to hurt you."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, the black python had no intention of stopping and still stared at him, but Gu Sheng could feel that the murderous aura on it was not as strong.

After swallowing his saliva, Gu Sheng thought about it and took out the Night Pearl.

It was dark here, and the black python's eyes were too bright. He felt a stinging pain in front of his eyes. If there was no light of confrontation, he would have been blinded before he could make a move.

Just as Gu Sheng gradually adapted to the light in front of him, he suddenly found that the black python was staring straight at the Night Pearl in his hand.

Looking at the Night Pearl in his hand, Gu Sheng did not find anything special, but seeing the look of the black python, he still handed the Night Pearl in his hand forward.

"Are you... in love with the Night Pearl?"

The black python looked at him and the murderous aura on his body disappeared in an instant.

Gu Sheng was immediately delighted to notice something.

"If you like, I can exchange the night-shining pearl for the purple spiritual grass under you."

However, the black python seemed not satisfied. Its huge body shrank a little more, directly covering all the purple spiritual grass under it.

Gu Sheng had a headache and was still trying to persuade it.

But no matter what he said, the black python did not react as before. Although it still looked at the night-shining pearl in his hand frequently, it was not as enthusiastic as before.

Gu Sheng was so thirsty that he could not find any more reasons. In desperation, he took out another night-shining pearl from the storage ring.

With two night-shining pearls in front of him, the black python's body actually jumped up directly, and the light in its eyes was comparable to that of the night-shining pearls.

Seeing it like this, Gu Sheng still stepped back cautiously.

"If I give you both night-shining pearls, can you give me the purple spiritual grass?"

The black python could not speak, but it understood what Gu Sheng said. Its huge body moved slowly and really gave up the position of the purple spiritual grass!

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to step forward easily, and asked again for confirmation: "Are you sure you want to trade with me?"

The black python leaned to the side again, and the meaning was already very clear.

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and threw the two night pearls to show his sincerity. (End of this chapter)
