He looked at the white bear that was only a head taller than him. Its green and fierce eyes were glaring at him. Its strong muscles were tense and it was ready to attack at any time.
Gu Zheng was sure that as long as he took another step forward, the other party would definitely tear him apart without hesitation.
"Hello." Gu Zheng revealed a smile and tried to communicate with words.
Unfortunately, the only response he got was a threatening roar. Looking at the crazed look in its eyes, Gu Zheng knew that the civilization exchange plan had failed.
To be safe, Gu Zheng took out the gourd and left it spinning on the spot.
Although the white bear instinctively felt a trace of danger when it came out of the gourd, its eyes tensed up and its body was on guard, it didn't know what would happen. It just stared at Gu Zheng.
Seeing that Gu Zheng wanted to come in, the white bear roared loudly to warn Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng had observed carefully just now. This white bear seemed to have lost its mind like the python outside. It only had its instincts left.
Perhaps it was arranged to guard something here and was ordered to attack as long as it entered a certain range.
Gu Zheng guessed that it was indeed so. Gu Zheng took a small step forward and the white bear went from showing off to standing upright to intimidate him.
As soon as Gu Zheng shrank back, it immediately turned into four corners and roared loudly to show off.
What kind of stupid arrangement was this? As long as he went back and forth like this, the stupid bear would die of exhaustion sooner or later.
Considering that this stupid bear seemed to be in the early stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm, he estimated that it would be fine even if he tired it to death. Therefore, he gave up on this stupid idea.
It wasn't that Gu Zheng didn't consider using the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger to kill the white bear directly. Just like how Gu Zheng didn't use the Immortal-Slaying Flying Dagger to kill the python.
Later on, Gu Zheng could have killed the python with one blow if he was prepared. However, he considered that he would steal the other party's treasure first, which made the other party chase him crazily.
Instead, Gu Zheng discovered that when he threw out the first fruit, the other party didn't have such a strong killing intent the second time. Moreover, he also obtained a treasure that contained life energy, so he directly let it go.
What if he killed this white bear? Would it attract the attention of the owner of the palace? Although this white bear had lost its consciousness, it must have been captured when it was conscious. Otherwise, it wouldn't have fallen to this point.
Since even Big Luo did not manage to escape and did not self-destruct, Gu Zheng did not think that he could escape with his life.
Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to meet such a foolish Grand Heavenly Immortal outside. What if they were caught and self-destructed? Both of them would die together.
Gu Zheng also wanted to see if he could use some means to sneak in.
After finishing his preparations, Gu Zheng dashed towards the entrance of the palace.
When the white bear saw this, its hair stood on end and it chased after Gu Zheng aggressively.
Rumble!
In the process of running, a terrifying loud sound rang out. That was the vibration of the feet landing on the ground. A terrifying figure rushed over.
Gu Zheng looked at the aura that filled the sky. It was indeed frightening, but he had already wasted a lot of his Demon Qi. What a waste.
If this bear was of the same level as him, he could take on ten of them without getting hurt. With one look, one would know what he was going to do next. Wasn't he an idiot?
The white bear did not care about what Gu Zheng was thinking. The command in its head was to kill all living things that entered its territory. It did not care about anything else.
A huge mouth filled with ferocious fangs calculated the direction and pounced towards Gu Zheng, wanting to bite him to death.
According to the white bear's plan, with this pounce, it would press down on Gu Zheng from the front. Then, it would lower its head and bite down. Everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng's body that was sprinting forward suddenly stopped moving. Then, he fell back and saw the white bear flying over in a beautiful arc.
A bright white light appeared on the sharp immortal sword in Gu Zheng's hand, and a murderous aura appeared in the air.
Facing the white bear's stomach that was delivered to him, Gu Zheng accepted it with a smile. The immortal sword that was harder and sharper than meteorites pierced towards the white bear's softest abdomen.
The shocking toughness made Gu Zheng frown. The white and tender abdomen that looked like it could be pierced easily with just a bit of force contained shocking toughness.
The immortal sword in his hand was already bent in half. Gu Zheng was worried that the immortal sword would break and injure himself.
The soft fur completely blocked the sharp sword in his hand. As the white bear flew over, only a few strands of white fur danced in the air.
It seemed to be mocking Gu Zheng for overestimating himself.
It was like this again. Gu Zheng wondered if all the wild beasts here had such thick skin and were invulnerable. How could people fight them?
The white bear's claws grabbed the ground and stopped its body from moving forward. It rushed towards Gu Zheng again. This time, it was smarter. It did not stupidly pounce on Gu Zheng from the air. Instead, it launched an attack from the ground.
Gu Zheng really did not believe in evil. This place made him suffer losses everywhere. No matter what, he had to get back some face.
He was Gokusen, although not the complete Gokusen. Gu Zheng was really angry.
In an instant, a very special technique was used by Gu Zheng under the urging of immortal power.
Skywheel Fist
Although the name was very ordinary, the effect was not bad.
He fiercely stepped on the air to the side, and then used the force to step out again. His speed and strength were once again superimposed. With this force, he just happened to face the white bear's side.
A fist blasted towards the white bear's neck. It was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had already appeared beside the white bear's head. This seemingly ordinary fist touched the white bear's originally tough fur. In an instant, it sped up again. The white bear's fur rippled.
Without a trace of sound, the high-speed white bear was abruptly hit in the wrong direction.
Its mouth was full of fangs, and it let out a painful scream.
Its heavy body fell heavily to the ground. For a moment, the white bear struggled and did not get up. It took a few breaths to get rid of the dizziness.
The white bear stood up and shook its head as if nothing had happened.
Gu Zheng completely admitted defeat this time. He could not even hit the other side with this method. What was the point of fighting with it? Hurry up and leave.
Although Gu Zheng did not injure the white bear just now, the long-lost pain surged into the white bear's heart. Its green eyes were red.
A bluish-white light flickered in the white bear's mouth. The next second, accompanied by a roar, a bluish-white energy was spat out of the white bear's mouth.
Gu Zheng saw the prelude and knew that it was preparing to use a big move. Where was the agreed hand-to-hand fight? Gu Zheng sped up and retreated, almost turning into a white light.
However, this white bear was not to be trifled with. Gu Zheng's speed was very fast, but the white bear's speed was not slow either.
The bluish-white breath, with a terrifying chill of ultra-low temperature, followed closely behind Gu Zheng.
Even the tiles that had not been damaged at all were now covered with a layer of frost.
Gu Zheng's right foot only grazed a little before it was wrapped in ice and he lost his senses.
Gu Zheng subconsciously wanted to use the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife. Fortunately, although the bluish-white light was very powerful, it did not last long. That was all it could do. Then, it disappeared from this world.
Gu Zheng finally rolled and crawled into the palace. The precious gourd also turned into a stream of light and returned to Gu Zheng's hand.
The white bear did not see the enemy. It howled for a long time to celebrate its victory. Then, it returned to its lazy state and lay in its previous position, dozing off.
"That was close, that was close." Gu Zheng kept using immortal Qi to melt the ice. The cold air had already spread from his foot to his thigh. There was a layer of white frost on it. After a long time, his right foot returned to normal.
This white bear used its ultimate move as soon as it came up. It did not follow the rules.
After cleaning up, Gu Zheng had the chance to size up the hall. The gorgeous hall walls were carved with many strange patterns. There was a magical power that attracted his eyes.
In the middle, there was a clear line of water flowing out of the air and into the pool below. He did not know where the source was. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air.
At the back, there was a door. He did not know where it led.
The entire hall was empty. There was not even a single pillar.
Gu Zheng first came to the door and wanted to open it. The antique door looked very ordinary. However, he could not open it no matter what. He could only give up helplessly.
The most eye-catching thing was, of course, the huge pool in the middle. A pool of purplish red liquid was bubbling in it. Silent bubbles kept popping.
Gu Zheng could feel that the pool contained an endless amount of energy. To be precise, it was even stronger than Big Luo.
However, it was all trapped in this pool. There was not a single bit of it leaked out.
The bangle in his hand had already lit up brightly when he entered. Right now, it was so bright that it was purple.
Gu Zheng did not dare to put his hand in. With so much energy, he might explode.
What should he do? Gu Zheng was a little worried. It was not easy for him to get here.
And this bright bangle was still flashing. Gu Zheng was at his wits' end.
Thankfully, there was no longer that scorching heat on his wrist.
He had a way back now. Besides, this place was just this palace. There was even a straw hut behind the white bear. He did not know what it was for. It was really out of place.
Was he going to be trapped here?
Gu Zheng, who was fretting, did not notice that the door of the palace was slowly closing.
And the door that couldn't be opened just now was slowly and silently opening.
Just as Gu Zheng was studying, he suddenly felt a gust of wind. Damn it, how could there be wind in this place?
Before Gu Zheng could react, a gentle breeze blew past him. Thinking of his mother's comfort, it turned into a storm in the next second.
Gu Zheng, who was caught off guard, was blown into the sky by the gust of wind. He flew towards the door behind him.
"Wa wa." Gu Zheng, who was flailing his arms and legs, tried his best to maintain his balance. However, he could not do it.
Just as Gu Zheng was in despair, a hand grabbed the door frame of the back door in the air.
There was always a way out. Gu Zheng was ecstatic. He placed his other hand on the door frame and tried his best to maintain his balance.
The veins on his hands were bulging. Fortunately, the door frame was not made of ordinary materials. There was no need to worry about it being damaged. Otherwise, Gu Zheng would have cried.
The gust of wind blew in front of him. Gu Zheng could not open his eyes. He did not know where the wind came from or where it went. It suddenly appeared like a gust of wind.
Gu Zheng was like a flag fluttering in the wind, and the door frame was the flagpole.
Moreover, there was a terrifying suction force behind it that kept pulling him, just like a whale swallowing its food. Gu Zheng felt that he was a small fish that was about to be swallowed.
The gust of wind was still raging. This was not just wind. Every gust of wind that hung on his body was like a sharp blade cutting him. Gu Zheng had no choice but to cover his entire body.
This way, the consumption was relatively small. Fortunately, the wind did not continue to increase.
This also allowed Gu Zheng to maintain his balance.
Gu Zheng did not notice that as the gust of wind raged, some water droplets were being blown away from the small stream of water above the pool.
When these water droplets were blown away, they would instantly be blown into white mist by the gust of wind. They would then follow the wind and fly behind the door bit by bit.
As more and more water droplets were removed, the mist in the air also became bigger. It was like layers of white clouds floating in the air.
Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed and was trying his best to resist the gust of wind, did not know that he was slowly being surrounded by the white mist.
Every layer of white mist passed through Gu Zheng's body and then floated behind him.
Gu Zheng previously felt that he had used too much immortal power. However, when the white mist floated over, Gu Zheng instinctively absorbed the pure energy.
This was because a single water droplet had broken down into countless water droplets, and countless water droplets had gathered to form a cloud.
Although there was still a large amount of energy inside, it could be slowly absorbed by Gu Zheng.
This way, Gu Zheng slowly felt that the amount of immortal power he used was decreasing. When the cloud enveloped him, Gu Zheng's consumption and absorption had reached a perfect balance.
Gu Zheng only needed to endure the pressure of the gust of wind. Gu Zheng supported the defence of the Mortal Book. The immortal power in his body started to flow down. He felt that the wind was specially used to counter the defence of magic treasures.
This scared Gu Zheng so much that he quickly retracted it after a few seconds. He felt that the immortal power in his body was slowly increasing. This made Gu Zheng relax.
In those few seconds, Gu Zheng saw that his surroundings were all white. He could not see anything clearly. Following this, whenever his immortal power was full, Gu Zheng would take the opportunity to open the defence of the Mortal Book to observe his surroundings.
Although the white mist made him unable to see anything, Gu Zheng still insisted on doing so. Of course, he did not notice the changes in his wrist.
At this time, the ring in Gu Zheng's hand was also flashing. Every time it flashed, a trace of mist would be pulled over.
It was directly absorbed by the ring. Time slowly passed. Gu Zheng was also trying his best to persist.
The ring was also slowly tearing the passing white mist. At first, the ring was purple in colour. As the white mist was absorbed, it turned pink, blue, green, black and finally white.
When the ring turned white, the frequency of flashing became lower. Originally it flashed every few seconds, but now it flashed every ten minutes.
Moreover, every time it flashed, it would directly absorb a piece of the fog next to it. When a piece of the fog was emptied, the original six halos would not change color, and the number of halos would decrease by one.
In the end, it slowly turned into one colour and finally disappeared on Gu Zheng's arm.
Of course, Gu Zheng did not know all of this. However, the gust of wind would eventually end.
After an unknown amount of time, the gust of wind suddenly disappeared. Gu Zheng still maintained the position of the flag, hanging horizontally on the door frame.
It was finally over. Gu Zheng suddenly came out of the door frame and turned to look behind him. What exactly was there?
The back door was also silently closing. Gu Zheng took advantage of the time before the door was closed to take a look.
There was a towering black hole behind him. There was also a stream of water flowing from below to the black hole.
When the door was completely closed, Gu Zheng also saw that there was something else.
Gu Zheng did not understand. He originally thought that there would not be any treasures behind, but there would at least be a lot of mechanisms or something magnificent.
It was just a black hole-like ball and a stream of water. That was too little.
The stream of water was the same colour as the pool in the hall. Gu Zheng guessed that it might be the water in the pool that flowed from somewhere else.
Looking at the still boiling pool, Gu Zheng did not dare go down to investigate.
The black hole did not seem to be harmful through the door, but Gu Zheng thought of the terrifying suction force. It must have been the black hole that had pulled him in. The white clouds he saw were also sucked in by the black hole.
Although he could no longer feel the power inside, he could not tear open the space even if he used all his strength.
Gu Zheng decided to give up on thinking about this. He really hoped that there was an escape route behind, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Gu Zheng forgot who said this sentence. Do you know what true despair is? Despair is when hope is in front of you, but the moment you touch it, it will turn into despair.
Gu Zheng felt that it was true. At this time, the door of the hall was already open. From here, the silly bear was still sleeping, not worried about its situation at all.
However, thinking that the silly bear had lost its mind and was only left with its instincts.
It could not go out, and the bear was alone. Oh, now there were two creatures including himself, although there was no food or drink.
According to its constitution, sleeping for hundreds of thousands of years would be fine.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, he could still survive for a long time. Bored, Gu Zheng began to study the hall. Although he was very knowledgeable, he still didn't know what the patterns in the hall were.
Gu Zheng was ready to go out and see if there were any clues outside. He could not stay here forever, so he had to do something.
Gu Zheng stepped out of the hall door. The silly bear that was still snoring opened its eyes and looked at Gu Zheng in the next second.
Both of its feet were out of the door, and the silly bear stood up from its lying position.
It took a light step forward, and the familiar roar came again.
He thought that the silly bear was sleeping and wanted to sneak out to take a look, but he did not expect the silly bear to be so vigilant.
Gu Zheng swore that he had already used the lightest and lightest footsteps. He even used a few spells to support himself just in case.
Take a step forward?
"Roar!" The white bear demonstrated.
Take it back. Yes, it stopped roaring. Take another step forward.
"Roar!"
Yes, so obedient.
Gu Zheng stepped out and retracted his feet like this, and for a moment, he was having a lot of fun.
Looking at the silly bear barking non-stop, it didn't seem tired at all. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, was so tired that he was half-dead.
