His entire body was covered by a thin layer of water again, blending in with the surroundings to conceal his figure.
Fortunately, they did not come out often, only a few times this month. However, that man never came out alone, nor did Pan Xuan come out alone. She did not know what they were doing in the house all day.
Su Nan was getting more and more frustrated, but she could only suppress it. Having a clear clue was better than searching for the bug on her own.
Not to mention Su Nan, Gu Zheng was also angry. Every few days, Pan Xuan would go out with him in different ways. Otherwise, she would do something upstairs. As for him, he stayed in the house every day with nothing to do. He wanted to go out alone, but without Pan Xuan's protection, he felt that it was very troublesome.
Today, Pan Xuan and Gu Zheng went out for another day. They strolled around the streets and finally went to the tavern for some drinks. Another boring day passed.
Before Pan Xuan went up to the second floor, Gu Zheng stopped her. "When are we going out? Didn't you say that confinement doesn't work on us?"
Gu Zheng felt that he had to do something. If it did not work, he could find some puppets to spar with. If that did not work, he could go to the arena to fight. It was better than idling here. He also wanted to go to the southernmost area to see what was going on there.
"En, are you in a hurry? Do you have something to do?" Pan Xuan was surprised. She did not know why Gu Zheng was so anxious to help her find something.
"I'm not in a hurry. It's just that I'm bored here every day, so I want to go out and relax." Gu Zheng smiled awkwardly. He was not good at lying.
"Oh, I understand. Here, you don't have to worry about it. But if you fight, you still have to take it. Otherwise, it will be damaged."
Pan Xuan rolled her eyes. She understood why Gu Zheng did not go out usually. She thought that he liked to stay at home and did not like to go out. It seemed that he did not want to be surrounded by people.
Even now, there were still many people outside talking about him, looking for an opportunity to spar with him.
Gu Zheng saw Pan Xuan throw something to him. It was soft in his hand. "How do I use this?" The object in Gu Zheng's hand kept changing its shape. One moment it was long, the next it was round, and the next it was soft and elastic.
"You just need to stick it on your face and inject immortal qi into it. I'll set up another person's face. You just need to dress up a little."
"Not bad." Gu Zheng followed Pan Xuan's instructions. Soon, a strange face covered Gu Zheng's face. Gu Zheng couldn't feel anything on his face at all. It was amazing.
"Well, I'm going up. We will set off in about a month. Don't forget." Pan Xuan reminded him and then went up alone without asking Gu Zheng.
With this thing, he could go out at any time. There was no time to lose. Gu Zheng dressed up a little and his whole temperament changed greatly. There was no trace of his previous appearance.
Gu Zheng opened the restriction and walked out. He looked around and saw some people walking around in the distance. After thinking about it, he didn't go to the town. Instead, he went out from the forest at the side. He had been going to the town every day. It was only so big and had only one function. He was almost familiar with it. He might as well go out and find a puppet to spar with.
At a place where Gu Zheng wasn't paying attention, a pair of eyes looked at him suspiciously. She didn't understand why another stranger had appeared. Moreover, he didn't use any illusion techniques. Could it be that another person had entered when she was following them?
That shouldn't be possible. If they all went out, they would open the restriction. If someone tried to force their way in, Pan Xuan would definitely know.
Su Nan looked at Gu Zheng sneaking away from the side and felt that it would be better to follow him and take a look. It wasn't impossible for the other side to use some other spell to cover her.
If it was that person's disguise, she wouldn't be able to seize such a good opportunity. That would be terrible. Just in case, Su Nan left an observation technique on the spot.
Although it couldn't help her follow him, she could see if anyone else came out.
After preparing, Su Nan stealthily followed Gu Zheng from the side of the forest. The other party simply didn't think that someone was following him. He didn't hide anything and Su Nan followed his tracks.
Gu Zheng ran through the forest with all his might. There weren't any puppets nearby, so he could run as fast as he wanted and feel the sound of the wind blowing past his ears.
If he went on the main road, he would definitely attract some attention. It was better to hide in the forest, so he didn't have to worry about anyone.
Because Su Nan hid her aura, Gu Zheng didn't know that he was being followed. Not long after, Gu Zheng started running.
When he reached the main road, he didn't hesitate to continue running north. Although there were many puppets in the central forest, there were also many Shuras who were heading there.
In order to reduce other people's attention, he had already asked around. There were some powerful puppets in the north. In order to prevent them from being too destructive, they were placed a bit further away. Generally, very few people went there.
After another week, Gu Zheng finally arrived at his destination.
"It should be here," Gu Zheng muttered to himself. He started searching in the central forest, so it should be nearby.
Gu Zheng turned around and didn't continue forward. He walked towards the central forest.
At this time, Gu Zheng slowly started his search. Puppets didn't just stay in place. They could also move, but most of them were restricted to an approximate location. They wouldn't go out of that area, even though it was quite large.
If you weren't careful, the puppets could ambush you. Every year, there would be Asuras who died from ambushes.
Su Nan watched as Gu Zheng entered the forest. The spell she had left in Puppet Town had also lost its effect, but no one had come out before it lost its effect. That meant that it was most likely him. However, seeing how careful he was, he definitely came here to find puppets to train.
She couldn't get too close. She had to be careful of being attacked by puppets. That would be depressing, so she had to be careful.
Su Nan also carefully crept in. She had heard of this place before. If she wasn't careful, she would be at a disadvantage.
Gu Zheng started searching inside, but he couldn't find any traces after a long time. Gu Zheng was so angry that he wanted to make some noise to attract the other party. At this time, Gu Zheng was sitting on a withered tree. He had walked for so many days and was a bit tired. Unfortunately, there weren't any trees nearby, so he had to make do.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Gu Zheng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly felt his ears twitch. Some chaotic sounds came from the north, and they were rapidly approaching.
As they got closer, the roars of wild beasts could be heard. There were also some people talking. From the sound of footsteps, there were about three people being chased.
"Cen Qing, run!" The man at the front shouted. "Come on, we barely escaped. We can't die like this."
"Huff, huff." Qin Qing didn't reply. Only her heavy breathing told others how bad her condition was.
The other male commander used a flying sword to obstruct the wild beasts behind them. However, most of them were nimbly dodged by the wild beasts. Although it wasn't very effective, it still managed to buy them some time.
"I can't, I can't!" After running for a while more, Qin Qing stopped in despair. She reached out to hold onto the tree beside her and panted loudly. She didn't have any strength left in her body. She couldn't run anymore.
"Don't worry about me, run!" Qin Qing shouted as she looked at her two companions. They stopped not far away from her. She didn't want them to die here. One of her friends had already died.
Now, it was her turn to buy some time for them. Qin Qing squeezed out a strand of immortal energy from her body, which transformed into a wind blade to stab at the wild beast.
The wild beast looked like a wolf, but there were two protruding horns on its head. It looked very strange. Its sharp teeth were exposed and its black body looked incomparably strong. Its four powerful limbs moved back and forth on the tree, dodging the flying sword in the sky. Although Qin Qing's wind blade couldn't even break through the strong winds created by the wolf, it had successfully attracted its attention.
"Hurry up and run! Don't let my sacrifice go to waste." Qin Qing saw that she had successfully attracted the attention of the black wolf. When the black wolf looked over, it was already slowly walking towards her. She cried out loudly. A line of tears flowed out from her eyes, leaving two marks on her delicate cheeks.
The two of them glanced at each other. The man in front smiled bitterly and said, "Wu Feng, looks like we are going to die here at the same time."
"We are not people who abandon our friends. Hold on." Wu Feng ignored his teammate's bitter smile and directly controlled his flying sword to stab the black wolf's head.
Unfortunately, Wu Feng's level was limited. He couldn't stab the wolf at all. The wolf easily dodged his attack. Wu Feng gritted his teeth and rushed forward towards Qin Qing. He wanted to protect her.
"Wu Feng, Qin Lang, why are you guys so stupid? Hurry up and run. Don't ask me." Qin Qing saw them running towards her. She couldn't help but lean against the tree and muttered to herself.
Although her voice was soft, they still heard it. Qin Lang laughed, "We have never abandoned our teammates. It's just a pity for Kaikai."
Kaikai was the youngest member of the group. The four of them had wandered the world together for thousands of years. Their relationship was very deep.
It was just that when they had first arrived here, they hadn't understood the situation. Unfortunately, Kaikai had been heavily injured by the black wolf's sneak attack and had been on the verge of death. In order to protect them, he had directly ignited his life force to attack the black wolf, buying them some time to escape.
But in the end, they hadn't been able to escape. The black wolf's strength had exceeded their expectations. They had done their best to escape, but they had still been forced into such a state.
Now, the only one left with any combat power was Wu Feng. Qin Lang had already been heavily injured, but Wu Feng's attacks had only been able to delay them.
If it wasn't for the fact that the black wolf was too cautious and would rather give up on killing them than suffer any injuries, they would have already died under the black wolf's claws.
DING!
Wu Feng's flying sword was sent flying. Qin Lang was no longer able to control his flying sword. That was because his flying sword had already been cut in two by the black wolf's claw.
This made the three of them light up. No matter how powerful their flying swords were, they had already been injured in the previous battle and were unable to use them. The threat of death had already arrived.
"Idiots, why didn't you run? We're all going to die here." Qin Qing was still crying, cursing the two of them for being fools for giving up hope of escaping.
"Roar!"
The black wolf roared threateningly. Looking at the three people in front of it, it confirmed that they were no longer a threat to it. Only then did it close in. A small bolt of lightning shot towards the three of them, but it was blocked by Qin Lang's protective barrier. But Qin Lang also spat out a mouthful of blood. He was already powerless to resist.
The black wolf finally flashed its claws and charged over. Qin Lang, Wu Feng, and Qin Qing had already closed their eyes, waiting for death to descend.
"Bang."
In the next instant, just as the three of them were about to die, the originally overbearing black wolf let out a low cry and flew back, landing heavily on the ground.
The three of them did not sense the black wolf's figure. Instead, they heard the black wolf's painful cry. Looking up, they saw a figure blocking in front of them.
The three of them looked at each other. They did not expect that there would be someone here to save them. The three of them felt Gu Zheng's powerful strength and could not help but relax their bodies. The three of them fell to the ground in a sorry state. That feeling of surviving a disaster made them unable to get up for a while.
The black wolf was not strong. At best, it was only a little stronger than Jin Xian's late stage. Its wild beast body took up a lot of light. The black wolf's purple eyes were constantly sizing up Gu Zheng. The parts of its body that were faintly aching told it that the opponent was very strong and was not to be trifled with.
However, this was not enough to make the black wolf cower. Some small lightning bolts beside it rushed towards Gu Zheng. The black wolf also moved quickly, waiting for an opportunity to strike. But those lightning bolts could not even break through Gu Zheng's protective barrier.
The black wolf flashed its sharp claws and directly clawed at the opponent's head, wanting to tear it apart.
Gu Zheng did not move as the scattered people behind him exclaimed. He directly punched forward. The black wolf's purple eyes flashed, and a cold light flashed on its claws. It changed direction and directly slashed at Gu Zheng's wrist.
In the next second, the wolf and human's claws clashed. A weak wave of air jumped out, and the black wolf was directly sent flying by the punch.
Qin Lang and the other two looked at the black wolf's claws and did not dare to touch the ground. It kept growling and its tongue kept licking the injured claws. It seemed that the injuries were not light. It was very likely that the claws were broken.
The three of them could not believe that Gu Zheng was so strong. Their six eyes stared at Gu Zheng's back in a daze.
The black wolf's cruel eyes kept looking at Gu Zheng. Suddenly, it did something unexpected. The black wolf actually ran away without looking back, afraid that Gu Zheng would chase after it. As it ran away, it looked back at Gu Zheng. Soon, it disappeared in front of everyone.
As expected of a beast's instinct. When it knew that it could not defeat its opponent, it knew to retreat strategically.
Qin Qing and the other two were also dumbfounded. To them, was this still the black wolf that chased them to the ends of the earth? Why did it feel like it was running away? It was even worse than them just now.
At this time, after some time, the three of them had recovered some of their strength. They supported each other and stood up. Qin Lang directly went up to Gu Zheng's back and cupped his fists in thanks, "Thank you for your help, brother. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to tell me and I will do my best. “
Gu Zheng turned around and looked at the three people in front of him. There was still some fear on his face. He had not recovered from being chased by the black wolf.
Suddenly, Qin Qing's face changed. She subconsciously took two steps back and reached out to pull Wu Feng and Qin Lang over.
"What's wrong?" Wu Feng asked, puzzled.
"He is from the Shura tribe. He is the one who caught us and threw us in here." Qin Qing's face was serious. She also wanted to see how high his cultivation was. That was why she rashly probed him. Now, she was scared out of her wits.
At this moment, Wu Feng and Qin Lang also subconsciously became alert. However, in the next second, Qin Lang gave up his vigilance and said to the two of them with a bitter smile, "If the other party wants to harm us, it's useless no matter how much we resist. The other party easily scared Hei Lang away. Then aren't we meat in the other party's palm? They can do whatever they want with us."
Wu Feng also thought of this and said, "Besides, how can we fight in this situation? Any one of us can beat them."
This was the truth. The three of them also understood their current situation. Everything depended on how the Shura tribe would deal with them. They also completely understood that resistance was futile. They simply let go of their guard. After all, it was useless.
Gu Zheng looked at their series of actions. He crossed his arms and did not say anything. It had to be said that the Shura tribe was much worse than he was. Of the three people, one was Jin Xian middle stage, and the other two were early stage. It was not bad.
However, they just so happened to fall into the Shura tribe's territory. They just so happened to fall into the territory of the Shura tribe. This place just so happened to be occupied by a relatively strong black wolf. They just so happened to fall right in front of it. How unlucky could they be?
Fortunately, they met Gu Zheng. If it was not for Gu Zheng, the three of them could only be food on the black wolf's plate. Even if they met other Shura tribe members, they would not be able to escape death or be captured as puppets.
"Senior, do you have any orders for us?"
Seeing that Gu Zheng did not say anything, Qin Lang braced himself and stepped forward. At the same time, he felt uneasy. He did not know what the other party wanted. In this unfamiliar place, he felt somewhat uncomfortable. Especially with the dense killing intent, not only would it corrode his body, it would also prevent him from recovering.
This was also the reason why they had quickly lost their ability to fight. They could only use up their energy but could not replenish it. After fighting for so long, they could only barely stand. Only Wu Feng was slightly better.
"No, I advise you to leave this place and head southwest. In about half a year, you will find people like you."
Gu Zheng's heart suddenly moved. He did not want to talk more with them. Right now, he just wanted to send them away.
