Although the leader's eyes were still watching Wu Xiaofeng plundering his companions' belongings with relish, his mind was already in a mess.
The leader hid it well, but Gu Zheng kept sneaking glances at him. Seeing his previous reaction and his current nonchalance, it was obvious that the item in his hand was very important. Perhaps it was the so-called Blood Hand.
Gu Zheng held a red glove in his hand. It was a gift from Mrs. Qin. Apparently, it could protect against natural disasters. For example, it could disperse too much baleful aura and reduce it to a certain level.
This was a relic from when Mrs. Qin had first come here and defeated an abnormally strong Shura.
Gu Zheng had a faint smile on his face as he slowly approached the leader.
The leader had a cautious expression. Seeing Gu Zheng approach, he shouted, "Don't come here. If you come any closer, I'll kill myself. You won't be able to save that monkey." Seeing the Blood Hand in Gu Zheng's hand, the leader's eyes burned with passion.
"Go ahead and kill yourself. You're not my friend anyway. I really don't care." Gu Zheng wasn't afraid of the leader killing himself. He was just using Wu Xiaofeng's concern to scare him. Gu Zheng saw through it immediately.
Hearing the leader's shout, Wu Xiaofeng paused. Seeing Gu Zheng slowly approach, he didn't care why Gu Zheng was doing this. He still believed in Gu Zheng and continued to loot the Shura. Speaking of which, the first two had quite a rich collection.
Gu Zheng continued to play with the glove in his hand. This red glove was not made of silk or thread. It was very smooth to the touch. Gu Zheng tried to put it on and injected immortal Qi into it. He didn't find any special use.
"You … you …" The leader didn't want to kill himself at all, especially after seeing the Blood Hand. He didn't want to die like this. The leader turned his head away from Gu Zheng.
"Haha, brother, you watch first. I'll go to Sixth Monkey and see if this thing can open it." Gu Zheng purposely showed the glove in his hand. After speaking, he walked into the tunnel. Only the sound of his footsteps echoed in the tunnel.
The leader didn't know if Gu Zheng was real or fake. Although the glove's aura wasn't activated, it was enough to open the cage. After all, the cage was made of scraps of origin energy.
Time slowly passed. Gu Zheng's footsteps had long disappeared. The leader calculated that he should have reached Monkey's cell and was trying to open the cage.
Wu Xiaofeng looked at the leader vigilantly. He continued to loot the last Shura's belongings. Thinking that the leader was heavily injured and couldn't escape....
The leader's eyes flickered and he suddenly looked behind Wu Xiaofeng with a look of surprise. Wu Xiaofeng, who was fully focused, was shocked. He subconsciously turned around and a layer of immortal energy covered his entire body in order to deal with the sudden appearance of the enemy.
This was a good opportunity. The leader instantly dashed towards the tunnel like a rabbit. As long as he could reach the middle of the tunnel, there was a hidden room there. As long as he entered and locked himself up, they would not have any time to break through.
Previously, he hadn't thought of going to the secret chamber because he didn't have the time to open it. The other party had been chasing after him all this time, but this was a heaven-sent opportunity. He had deceived Wu Xiaofeng and bought himself some time.
"Bang!"
He flew out as fast as he flew into the tunnel. He didn't expect that the other party had been waiting for him here. The leader directly knocked into the wall and fainted.
Under Wu Xiaofeng's shocked gaze, Gu Zheng walked out. It turned out that this was Gu Zheng's plan. He wanted to see if the glove could really be opened. If the glove was useless, then the leader didn't need to worry. No one knew who could open the cage except for him. Even if Gu Zheng wanted to kill him, he would have to fall out with Wu Xiaofeng. It wasn't worth it.
This test was indeed mysterious. The leader's reaction clearly told Gu Zheng some information. He ordered Wu Xiaofeng to watch the tunnel. This time, Gu Zheng really went to the cell where the six monkeys were locked.
When he walked in, he saw that it was the same as before. The six monkeys were even imitating the painful expression from before. Gu Zheng saw through it at a glance because of the sweat on their bodies.
The beasts and humans were sweating all over. On the other hand, the six monkeys were dry and clean. They were full of flaws.
"Six Monkeys, Six Monkeys, stop pretending. Hurry up and get up." Gu Zheng shouted from the side. When Six Monkeys heard this, he rolled over and looked at Gu Zheng with a look of pleasant surprise. "You've settled it?"
"Mm, back off a little. I'm going to open it. Something might happen." Gu Zheng arranged.
Seeing the six monkeys retreat to the furthest corner, Gu Zheng took a deep breath and put the glove on the railing that was full of patterns.
When he put his hand on it, a warm feeling came from the place where he held it. He didn't even need to use his immortal energy. A pure energy came from the connection. This energy was a little familiar. Before Gu Zheng could sense it, he found that the feeling in his hand was gone.
When he looked carefully, the railing in his hand had turned into dust. It seemed to have been weathered for a few years. With a little strength, it broke.
The six monkeys saw it from the side and immediately became excited. They were saved.
Using the same method, they broke all the surrounding railings. However, the warm energy had been absorbed by the glove. In such a short time, they couldn't tell what it was.
Looking at the glove in his hand, the color was brighter than before. He didn't know if it was Gu Zheng's mistake, but just now, Gu Zheng felt that the glove was yearning for something.
Shaking his head, he brought the six monkeys back to meet up with Wu Xiaofeng. Of course, before they left, they had to absorb all the special materials in the room.
As for the other two, because they had poured in too much baleful energy, his green liquid wasn't enough to restore them to normal. He could only shake his head and leave them here.
When he returned to the room, he saw the dead Asura and Wu Xiaofeng. He didn't expect Wu Xiaofeng to kill him.
Wu Xiaofeng said to Gu Zheng, "That guy wanted to run away when you weren't around. I warned him, but he still wanted to run away. In the end, I didn't hold back and accidentally killed him. I regretted that I was too heavy-handed. I didn't expect you to come back so soon." Wu Xiaofeng said to Gu Zheng, "That guy wanted to run away when you weren't around.
"However, seeing you with the six monkeys, all my worries disappeared. If I didn't save the six monkeys, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Gu Zheng looked at the leader, whose eyes were wide open. It seemed that he couldn't believe that he had died in his own nest.
"Let's go. There's nothing left here." Wu Xiaofeng suggested. The puppets only knew how to obey orders. If there was no one to command them, they would just stay where they were. With only weak instincts left, they could be said to be completely dead.
Gu Zheng wanted to put the crystal box away, but he found that he couldn't. Fortunately, he found a golden treasure chest in the leader's storage ring. There were twice as many blood diamonds inside. He tossed the silver crystal box to the ground to accompany the leader.
Of course, Gu Zheng also took the leader's storage ring. Wu Xiaofeng didn't have any objections. The biggest credit for all of this was Gu Zheng. If he had come here alone, even if he was lucky, he wouldn't have been able to save the six monkeys. In the worst case scenario, he would have been trapped here.
What would happen to his team? There was still his sister waiting for him to go back. Wu Xiaofeng was really grateful to Gu Zheng. He felt that it was his fortune to have met him.
Before leaving, Gu Zheng completely destroyed the mechanism inside. This way, if anyone wanted to enter from the outside, they would have to pay a higher price. Although there were still many ores on the walls, the long time and difficulty of mining them was enough to make anyone despair. This way, he would directly cut off his own thoughts. He didn't have the time and energy to waste here.
When they passed by the small hall, Gu Zheng and the others prepared to take Li Feng with them. However, all they saw was a slightly warm corpse. Moreover, Gu Zheng's gloves didn't have any effect on the stone pillars. Originally, they wanted to take Li Feng's body with them.
They followed the path out. The fallen tree was still blocking the entrance. After removing the obstructing tree, Gu Zheng and the others finally came out.
"Let's seal this hole. That way, no one will accidentally come here." Gu Zheng looked back at the gloomy cave and suggested.
"No need. This place will return to its original state." Wu Xiaofeng shook his head. This was something everyone here knew. All the damage caused, such as the large hole and the disappearance of the large tree, would return to its original state.
This world was protected by a mysterious power. However, once some important places were damaged, they would be permanent. For example, there was a large hole in the valley. That was the result of an experiment. After thousands of years, there was still a hole. Therefore, fighting was strictly prohibited near the valley. Those who violated the rules would be severely punished.
Gu Zheng nodded his head in agreement. Thus, everyone covered things up. Gu Zheng, Wu Xiaofeng, and the six monkeys hurried back at full speed.
There were still more than 20 days before the deadline. They barely had enough time.
When the three of them returned to the valley, there were still five days before the deadline. Now, compared to before, the valley was already bustling with activity.
In front of the valley, there were rows of people setting up stalls. There were some small words written on them. Some were requesting to buy, while others were trading. From time to time, someone would go up to chat. After a while, both sides would leave satisfied. Some shook their heads, perhaps because the price was not suitable. They would leave again, and the stall owner would continue to wait for the next customer.
Everyone was acting as a vendor. They did not make any noise. They only transmitted their voices to each other. It was quiet and lively.
The three of them looked tired. They had rushed day and night and did not have a good rest.
Wu Xiaofeng said gratefully to Gu Zheng, "Let's rest at our place. I'll get Wu Xiu to bring some good stuff. Everyone is very grateful to you for the return of the Six Monkeys. Also, there should be three more days until the trade fair ends. The important stuff will only appear on the last day. Most of the items at the beginning are some medicinal pills and simple magic tools."
"Yes, if my life needs anything, just say it. I, Six Monkeys, will not even frown." Six Monkeys said as he patted his chest.
"No need. Six Monkeys is also my friend. It is what I should do. You guys go back first. Don't let them wait." Gu Zheng rejected their invitation.
They were worried that it would be inappropriate for them to stay together for such a long time. They would meet again in a few days.
Wu Xiaofeng saw that Gu Zheng was determined not to go to his side, so he didn't insist. He handed over a bracelet to Gu Zheng and said, "This is the spoils of war left behind by the Shura. I can't take so much. There should be more or less what you need here. If you can't find it, you can trade with others."
This time, Gu Zheng didn't insist. Although he had taken all of the Chief's items, they were all of relatively good quality. It wasn't worth it to trade them away. He might as well go to the market and see if there was anything he needed.
After taking the bracelet, Gu Zheng said goodbye to Wu Xiaofeng and the others. He turned around and prepared to return to his temporary residence.
Wu Xiaofeng and Six Monkeys watched Gu Zheng disappear in front of them. They had been away for a long time. Their brothers must have been worried for a long time.
Wu Xiaofeng led Six Monkeys through the crowd and walked back to his base.
At Wu Xiaofeng's base, a group of people were frowning. Anyone who saw them knew that something had happened. At the beginning, everyone was relieved. After all, it would take a long time to return. However, as the days passed, there was still no news of them. Everyone's hearts were in a mess. At first, they were comforting each other, but in the end, everyone was worried.
Fourth Rabbit was sitting on a tree stool. He was holding a leaf in his hand. His eyes were blank, and his mind was in a mess.
Seeing Er Hu pacing around beside him, he shouted in annoyance, "Er Hu, can you stop pacing around? You're giving me a headache."
Everyone's temper was like a barrel of dynamite that was about to explode. He jumped up and stared back at her with his big golden eyes. "Why am I bothering you? I'm annoyed. Can't I take a walk?"
Fourth Rabbit was not to be outdone. "You've been walking for a whole day. Why aren't you tired?"
"You …" Er Hu was so angry that he jumped in front of Fourth Rabbit. He wanted to fight with her.
Wu Xiu saw this and quickly separated the two. It was not easy to separate them. Wu Xiu, who was exhausted, did not look as radiant as before.
These few days, if it was not for Wu Xiu, these few people would have fought. Their feelings for each other did not change. They were worried that Leader Wu would be angry and lose control of herself.
Wu Xiu was more worried about her brother. However, she believed that her brother would definitely come back. Before he came back, he would definitely appease everyone and not cause any trouble.
"Yo, Sister Wu, your brother is not back yet. Looks like something happened and he can't come back." A voice that made Wu Xiu feel disgusted was heard.
"Hua Long, what are you doing here again? Leave quickly. You're not welcome here." Wu Xiu frowned and wanted to chase him away.
"I didn't come here on purpose. We're just passing by. You can't block this road. That's unreasonable." Hua Long said with a smile.
"Yes, yes. Our boss didn't come here on purpose. He just happened to pass by on the way." Hua Long's men behind him echoed. They especially emphasized the word "on purpose". Everyone understood the meaning behind it.
Seeing Hua Long bullying Wu Xiu, the few people here did not dare to do anything. They stood up and glared at Hua Long. Er Hu had a bad temper. He shouted directly, "If you want to find trouble, just say it. Although our leader is not here, we're willing to fight."
"What are you so proud of? Let's fight. Who's afraid of who? Come on, if you don't dare to fight, then you're a coward." Seeing that their boss did not speak, Hua Long's men behind him could not stand it anymore. Everyone knew each other's background. They were not afraid of each other at all.
"Let's go. Come, come, come. Come over here. Let me experience everyone's skills." The top three suddenly spoke. His heart was filled with anger every day, and he had long wanted to vent it.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. Both sides were on the verge of pulling out their bows and staring at each other with hostility.
"Stop." Gu Zheng remembered that he had forgotten to give something to Wu Xiaofeng. He also almost forgot that Xiao Chong was here. He wanted to get him back. He hurried over. He did not expect to see this scene from afar. Moreover, Wu Xiaofeng was not back yet.
Gu Zheng who hurried over said coldly, "What's going on?" Although he was asking Third Grade, his eyes were looking at Hua Long's side.
Since Wu Xiaofeng was not here, as his friend, he could not let others bully his members.
"Brother Gu, where's my brother? Why aren't they back yet?" Wu Xiu saw that Gu Zheng had arrived. Her big eyes were filled with tears. The others could not be bothered to quarrel with Hua Long's team. Several pairs of eyes were fixed on Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng also did not know why Wu Xiaofeng was not back yet. At most, he was delayed by something. It would not be too long. "They went to do something. They'll be back soon. Oh right, Sixth Monkey is with them too."
Wu Xiu's tears flowed down. She covered her mouth with her small hands in surprise. Those were tears of joy. The team members were unable to contain their joy.
Hua Long's team looked over coldly. The smile on Hua Long's face also disappeared. He looked deeply at Gu Zheng, wanting to remember Gu Zheng's appearance in his heart. He waved to the team members behind him. "Let's go. We still have important things to do. Don't waste time with these people."
Wu Xiaofeng's team members did not care about them. They could not wait for them to disappear before their eyes.
"So noisy, so noisy. Why is it so noisy?" Xiao Chong flew over from a tree nearby. He expressed his dissatisfaction in a sleepy voice. He was sleeping soundly, but they disturbed him again.
In mid-air, he saw a figure appear in front of him. He blinked his eyes to make sure that his eyes were not playing tricks on him. With a whoosh, he climbed up onto Gu Zheng's shoulder. His spirit had also recovered.
He giggled at Wu Xiu and the rest. "I told you it would be fine. You guys were still worried and disturbed my sleep every day. Look, aren't we back now? We didn't delay anything."
"I'm sorry, Xiao Chong. It's our fault. I'll give you some of your favorite fire stones later, okay?" Wu Xiu finally stopped crying and apologized to Xiao Chong. They had been quarreling non-stop for the past few days, causing the sleepy Xiao Chong to be angered half to death. He could not beat them in a fight, and Xiao Nan was not by his side. Even if he tried to explain, they would not believe him. He could only grumble and run to the side to sleep.
