"Creak." The crab that was closest to Gu Zheng suddenly made a sound on its body surface. It seemed to be showing signs of waking up. Gu Zheng was so scared that his heart instantly thumped.
He couldn't care about anything else. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party's movement was slightly bigger and the speed of the tentacles slowed down a little, he aimed at a gap and directly rushed over.
"Pa Pa" Gu Zheng was directly hit by two tentacles on the outside of the protective shield. Fortunately, the other party's unconscious attack wasn't too strong. Gu Zheng directly endured it and took the opportunity to directly escape from their range.
And that crab seemed to have sensed something. The tentacles that filled the sky suddenly extended and stabbed in the direction where Gu Zheng flew.
"Deng Deng Deng"
In the blink of an eye, the ground was covered by dense tentacles. A tyrannical divine sense directly swept across this small space. Gu Zheng hid at the side and landed, shrinking into a ball.
Xiangxiang Beila desperately compressed the water shield in front of her, only hoping that the other party wouldn't discover them.
That divine sense swept past, and those tentacles also shrank back and returned to their previous appearance. It seemed that they didn't discover them.
Gu Zheng and Xiangxiang Beila breathed a sigh of relief and continued to wait until they were sure that the other party didn't wake up. Only then did they come in front of the stone door.
A wave-like light emerged on the stone door. Layer after layer of light flowed back and forth. It was obvious that this layer of protection was more advanced than the protection outside.
However, it seemed that it wouldn't be easy to break the restriction this time, especially when there were two terrifying spirit beasts behind. They could wake up at any time.
Gu Zheng's eyebrows moved, and his own divine sense gushed out from between his eyebrows. A powerful divine sense force once again enveloped them, forming a new barrier.
In this way, once there was a slight fluctuation of magic power on his side, it would be directly intercepted to avoid attracting the attention behind.
Gu Zheng first took out the previous dagger to see if the blue liquid worked again. Sure enough, it didn't go beyond Gu Zheng's expectations.
The blue liquid tried to penetrate the door again, but the stone door seemed to feel threatened. The surface of the door suddenly flashed, and the originally calm water rippled. The water rippled and emitted a dense light, directly blocking the blue liquid.
The blue liquid swam back and forth, trying to break through, but it was useless. In the end, the blue liquid hardened its heart and formed the shape of an awl, stabbing towards the water wave.
The cloud of dense mist surged and transformed into the shape of a tiger in the blink of an eye. It was nimble and agile. With a swipe of its claw, it smashed Zhui Zi into two pieces.
Gu Zheng hurriedly used the dagger to catch the liquid, but some of the liquid evaporated in the air. When the blue liquid completely returned to the dagger, one-third of it was gone. Gu Zheng's heart ached.
Although this was Xiangxiang Beila's treasure, this kind of special item was extremely rare. Especially when the seal was broken and there was no way to replenish it, its power might have decreased. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have tried to force it. Who would have thought that this defense would have its own counterattack?
Gu Zheng's hands formed a seal, and a green light began to dance on his fingertips. Five green lights were shot out by Gu Zheng in a row in mid-air. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out five streams of clear air, directly enveloping the green lights.
The five green lights suddenly turned into five small green flags. Gu Zheng's hand technique changed again. The five small flags actually ignored the water ripples outside and directly inserted themselves into the stone door.
The green flags were all connected by a green line, forming the shape of a pentagram. Clouds of green gas began to rise from the inside, rushing towards the water ripples outside and competing.
The surface of the water ripples, together with the dense mist, suddenly expanded and contracted, changing a myriad of times. In the end, with a soft 'puchi' sound, it directly disappeared at the edge, firmly suppressed by the green light.
At this time, the stone door's restriction had been temporarily broken. Gu Zheng quickly pulled Xiangxiang Beila and pushed open the stone door, walking in.
All of this seemed complicated, but from the time Gu Zheng first released the shield to the moment the small flags broke the restriction, only a few breaths of time had passed.
When the small green flags could no longer suppress the water ripples, the dense mist turned into five sharp arrows, directly piercing through the dissipating green flags, restoring them to their original state.
Even the stone door automatically closed. If one looked carefully, they would be able to see that the area in the middle had dimmed a lot.
At the same time, the barrier that Gu Zheng deliberately released also silently dissipated.
Everything returned to its original state. At this time, a few figures rushed up from below. Feeling the slight fluctuations of battle in the air, they hurriedly shouted, "Two seniors, I don't know if you saw the enemy come in just now."
The large green-robed man's voice directly woke up the two spirit beasts, and a sky full of tentacles directly pierced towards him. Before the large green-robed man could react, the tentacles directly stopped in front of him, only a finger's distance away from his eyes.
The large green-robed man was so scared that he sat on the ground, and his body was instantly drenched in cold sweat. The spirit beast on the left slowly opened its bell-like eyes, looking at him for a long time before coldly replying.
"No, I have been resting here. Other than you two, I didn't sense anyone else."
At this time, the young man stood out from behind. Just now, he had followed the traces all the way outside and finally found that the clues were in front of the pagoda. Only then did he realize that he might have been lured away. Perhaps the enemy's target was here, and it was very likely that they had already entered.
He returned to the door and hurriedly told the large green-robed man his guess. The two of them opened the door to the upper level together, and along the way, they didn't find any traces.
When they reached the top, they vaguely felt a trace of an unusual aura in the air.
One had to know that he had once cultivated a secret technique that allowed his senses to be magnified by many times, and he could perceive some subtle things. However, the success rate wasn't high. After hearing the spirit beast senior's words, he didn't dare to be certain.
Looking from here, the stone door's restriction didn't seem to have been damaged at all. However, to be safe, he still said:
"Senior, please allow us to take a look at the restriction. We definitely won't open it and go in. We are just making a final confirmation."
Although he knew that this would offend the other party, he couldn't do it. Moreover, they had no way of going in, and could only observe from the outside. Who asked the other party to have such a profound and strange method to bypass two different restrictions?
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a muffled snort sounded in the air, and it heavily hit everyone's heart.
The few people with lower cultivation directly fainted, and the young man and the other two's faces paled, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of their mouths.
"You group of children, you only know how to disturb others. I don't have many years left to live, and you still won't let me have some peace and quiet." The large crab on the right slowly stood up, and at the same time, its body slowly shrank, and soon, it had shrunk to half its size.
"Grandfather, why do you always say such foolish words? You can at least live for tens of thousands of years." The one on the left suddenly spoke, and its body also shrank to half its size, opening up a path in the middle.
He didn't expect that the other party's cultivation was the same. It was actually a grandfather and a grandson, and he didn't know how long they had lived here.
In any case, since the young man had been here for tens of thousands of years, he had seen the two of them before. However, at that time, they were resting outside, and they were completely different from the spirit beasts he usually encountered.
"Thank you, senior," the two said respectfully, and then walked through the middle.
"Are you sure that someone has been here before?" the large man in green asked the young man in a low voice.
"Right now, I'm not sure at all." The young man felt that the spirit beast on the same level as his grandfather was waving its tentacles in dissatisfaction, knocking back and forth on the wall.
The constant noise was simply torturing their ears, and they wanted to vomit blood in their hearts. They knew that this was probably to disgust them. Who asked them to disturb their rest?
This aura was similar to the aura they had felt before, but now, they didn't dare to be sure.
The two quickly arrived at the gate, but the ripples were still clear and crystalline. They basically didn't enter this place, and there were some slight changes that couldn't be distinguished at all.
Usually, these things were handled by Commander Wang, and everything went through his hands.
"Did you find anything?"
The young man shook his head. He didn't find any clues, and it seemed that the slight touch in his heart just now might have been his imagination.
"Sorry to disturb you, senior. I'm just concerned about this place. A thief broke in from outside, and he has some special skills. I'll have to trouble you two seniors."
The young man and the other two brought their subordinates and hurriedly left this place. They still had to patrol other places, and everyone was mobilized to find the thief who was hiding.
When all of them left, the grandfather spat out a compass from his mouth, which emitted a black and white light, and flew directly to the entrance of the stairs.
The compass spun in the air, and its body shone brightly. When it appeared at the entrance of the stairs, it had already turned into a huge compass, and it happened to be right on top of the stairs.
Following that, the compass's figure gradually disappeared, perfectly hidden beneath the ground.
The grandfather looked at it with satisfaction, and then used a huge pincer to hit his grandson. The two of them quickly shrank and flew up.
Two small holes appeared on the wall above their heads, and they were placed inside.
Just as the green-robed man arrived here, Gu Zheng and Xiangxiang Beila had already appeared in a small room.
When they arrived here, Xiangxiang Beila and Gu Zheng completely revealed themselves. The other party couldn't come in without going through the door.
Xiangxiang Beila cheered and pounced forward. Gu Zheng, on the other hand, was sizing up the surroundings.
This space wasn't big, and it was less than half the size of the outside. There was a huge jade pillar in the middle, and it went straight to the top of the tower.
Countless runes were engraved on the jade pillar, and a soft white light was emitted from the body of the jade pillar, forming white rays. Around the jade pillar, there were more than a dozen jade pillars of different sizes.
Those white rays turned into a ball, firmly covering the items above. He could vaguely see that there were many exquisite boxes inside, but he didn't know what was inside. It seemed a little mysterious.
However, Gu Zheng knew that the things inside were definitely not bad. Even with such a tight protection, the air was filled with a fragrance. It was an indescribable smell, as if it was a mixture of many precious things.
Just by smelling this smell, Gu Zheng felt refreshed, and some of the anxiety in his heart disappeared. The Immortal Qi in his body was slowly recovering.
On the surrounding walls, there were many unknown pearls embedded in them. Similarly, a yellow light shot out from the pearls, enveloping the area below Bai. There were also some exquisite treasure chests placed inside.
However, looking at the treatment, it was obviously a grade lower. It was obviously not as precious as the ones above.
At this time, Xiangxiang Beila was constantly spinning back and forth on the jade pillar. From time to time, she would raise her delicate nose and sniff back and forth, trying to distinguish which one was the thing she needed.
However, the white light prevented all divine senses from entering. Xiangxiang Beila could only raise her head and come back. She stood beside Gu Zheng, and her eyes were still looking around, as if she could see through the shield and the boxes inside, and know what was inside.
Gu Zheng also looked carefully. He was thinking of a way to break it without attracting attention from outside.
The shield was connected to the jade pillar, and the jade pillar was connected to the top of the pagoda. If he wanted to break it by force, he would be fighting against the entire pagoda. Gu Zheng was not so stupid as to do that.
Gu Zheng's eyes kept flashing. If one looked carefully, they would find that all kinds of mysterious runes appeared in his eyes. Gu Zheng was actually trying to analyze the weakness of the shield.
After a long time, Gu Zheng closed his eyes and rubbed his sore eyes. His wishful thinking had gone awry. The level of construction of this stone pagoda was beyond his expectations.
However, he did not gain anything because he found something that could be used.
Gu Zheng gestured for Xiangxiang Beila to move back. He waved his hand, and a dozen green lights appeared from his sleeve. Gu Zheng repeatedly formed seals, and the dozen green lights turned into a dozen small green flags. They fell outside a jade pillar in picturesque disorder.
Then he continued to wave his hands, and the small flags shot out rays of light, which converged at a point above the jade pillar. That green point directly flowed down a boundless light mist, forming an inverted bowl-shaped shield. It covered the jade pillar from top to bottom, leaving only the gap of that white line.
Gu Zheng once again spat out a green gas from his mouth. It was so green that it looked a little green. He directly controlled it to carefully enter the green shield, and stopped outside the white shield.
Gu Zheng was already prepared. The green gas directly turned into a sharp blade, and instantly pierced into the white shield, wanting to pierce through it.
At the same time, the small green flag on the outside shone a white light on its shield. The green shield's light flowed unsteadily. It was imitating the aura of the white light, wanting to deceive the jade pillar.
The result was out of Gu Zheng's expectations. When the green gas pierced halfway, the white shield's surface immediately shone brightly. Countless white rays of light appeared out of thin air, forming sharp arrows that directly rushed towards the outer shield.
How could Gu Zheng have thought of this? Moreover, the green barrier did not provide any protection to the inside at all. In the blink of an eye, it was riddled with holes and dissipated in the air. Even the small flag was destroyed.
The white light of the jade pillar once again connected to the white shield without any obstruction. The runes on the jade pillar suddenly lit up, and countless thin white threads shot out from the stone pillar, directly entangling the green gas.
The white threads trembled at high speed, and the green gas was instantly torn into countless green threads, floating in the air.
Under the replenishment of the jade pillar, the white shield quickly healed, and in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original state.
Gu Zheng looked at this scene and thought for a long time. In the end, he decided to increase the array. It should be able to withstand a greater impact without triggering an excessive reaction from the pagoda.
Gu Zheng flew out more than ten green lights, and like before, he set up the same array.
However, Gu Zheng took out the mirror that Xiao Yitian had given him. He directly shot out a few white rays of light, condensing into several layers of mist in the air. They overlapped each other, and there was a very small gap between them. They were next to the jade pillar, waiting to be released.
A black light and a green gas were spat out from Gu Zheng's mouth, once again entering the green shield.
This time, Gu Zheng was fully prepared. However, he thought for a long time before he was confident he could take action. Success or failure depended on this.
The front was the same as before. When the sky full of arrows appeared again, the black light that had been waiting to be released blocked all the arrows with lightning speed, and all of them were smashed into pieces.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng waved his hand. The black light directly rushed to the tail of the green gas, and directly hit it. He replaced her, blocking that position.
After the green gas entered the white shield, its body immediately burst out with an intense light, and powerful mana fluctuations were emitted from it.
Following the self-destruction of the green gas, the white shield finally could not withstand the two-sided attack. Like jade, it cracked piece by piece, and fell down. Even the pure white jade pillar below clearly dimmed.
However, the jade pillar in the middle seemed to have sensed that the shield was damaged. The runes on its body flickered, and at the same time, many white rays of light flashed on the other pillars.
A thick pillar of light and a dozen small white rays of light came from all directions towards the somewhat damaged shield, as if they wanted to save it.
The few streaks of mist directly blocked the front of the light pillar. The white light pillar shot into the mist, and its speed was greatly reduced. It was as if it was moving in slow motion in the air, moving forward bit by bit.
The dozen rays of light collided with the green shield. The surface of the shield flashed wildly, and the light dimmed.
The moment the other side was blocked, Gu Zheng directly flashed in and landed beside the jade pillar. His hand emitted a golden light, and he hit the jade pillar with all his strength. The golden light quickly went down along the top of the jade pillar.
The jade pillar trembled slightly, and the originally pure white jade pillar was slowly eroded by the golden light. The light on the jade pillar quickly dimmed, and the pattern on the jade pillar was dyed golden.
When the jade pillar was completely golden, the middle jade pillar stopped emitting thick beams of light, and the surging rays of light on the other jade pillars also slowly disappeared.
It was as if the jade pillar had been eliminated from their sequence, and they directly ignored it. The situation returned to its previous calm state.
At this time, Gu Zheng slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He stretched out his hand, and all the Qi disappeared, leaving only the golden jade pillar beside him.
"Wow, Brother Gu, you are so powerful." Xiang Xiang watched all this from the side and said with admiration. She had thought of many ways just now, but she had no clue at all.
"Let's see if this is what you want." Gu Zheng called Xiang Xiang over.
