A faint sense of threat emerged from the golden mist, causing the strange snake to suddenly recall its previous encounter.
Only then did the strange snake wake up from its greedy desires. It looked at the golden mist above its head in fear, its head constantly shaking.
Now, it had the intention of retreating. It only had one thought in its mind before, and that was to find a suitable body to let itself out of here.
However, it didn't know where the other party had obtained the purple lightning that countered its form. This time, it could be said that it had truly struck its weak spot. The black mist was its source of power, and any less of it meant that its own strength had decreased.
Although it could still regenerate, there wasn't enough time. It hadn't seen any living creatures for tens of thousands of years.
Gu Zheng saw that the other party wanted to escape, but the golden mist had completely blocked it. In this narrow passage, unless the other party knew how to burrow, there was no way it could escape.
Reality proved that the strange snake really didn't know how to burrow. Perhaps there was a special restriction in the wall.
In any case, no matter how the giant snake tried to dodge, all the remaining golden mist attached to its body and exploded.
The purple lightning contained in the mist once again jumped on its body, causing it to freeze in place.
It had lost its initial chance to escape, so there was no second chance to speak of.
One had to know that Gu Zheng was also surprised by his own results. He didn't expect the other party to be so weak after losing its strange immunity, causing him to be momentarily distracted.
However, the strange snake didn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
The Li Ring imprisoned the strange snake once again. Fine flames began to emerge from the inner circle of the Li Ring, and it began to spin wildly. The incomparably sturdy scales finally had some use, flashing with a faint light as they blocked the huge spinning force.
However, it couldn't stop the flames from continuing to burn its body.
A black longsword left a trail in the air, emitting a faint sound as it pierced through the air. In an instant, it arrived in front of the strange snake and directly pierced through its frantically struggling body, leaving a bowl-sized hole. Large amounts of black mist escaped from the hole and disappeared into the air.
However, after the flying sword circled around once, it turned back and aimed at the strange snake's body before rushing forward again. In a short time, the giant snake's body had been pierced through with more than ten holes.
However, no matter how hard the strange snake struggled, it couldn't break free for a while.
A thick stench floated in the air. It smelled as bad as burnt pig skin.
Under this two-sided attack, wisps of black mist quickly rose up, and the strange snake's body rapidly shrank. A shrill hiss echoed in the passage, but Gu Zheng's entire body was already prepared, and he wasn't affected at all.
In the blink of an eye, the strange snake's body had shrunk by half, and it didn't look as domineering as before..
A teeth-grinding sound could be heard in the air. Even though Gu Zheng was fully prepared, he still felt dizzy. The world before his eyes spun. Gu Zheng hurriedly held onto the wall beside him to prevent himself from falling.
When Gu Zheng came back to his senses and looked at the strange snake, his expression suddenly changed.
.................................
. The strange snake had used some unknown method to escape. Gu Zheng was shocked. He didn't expect it to be able to escape under such circumstances.
He didn't have the purple lightning in his hand, and more importantly, he couldn't break through the wall. He had already tried when he was circling outside.
Every time he touched the wall, there was a layer of light that blocked his attack. He couldn't break through the other party's defense. At that time, he suspected that the passage was actually the strange snake's doing.
When he saw the snake's body change, he was even more certain of his guess. The deeper he went, the narrower the passage became. The crooked walls might be a formation that trapped the other party.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't too worried. Although he didn't have the purple lightning, the other party must have paid a high price for using this move. Maybe when he left, the other party wouldn't appear again.
After repeatedly observing to make sure the strange snake wasn't hiding nearby, Gu Zheng carried Xiang Xiang and walked toward the center.
The deeper he went, the more difficult it was to go. Every time he walked, he would come to a dead end. Gu Zheng had no choice but to turn back and walk in another direction.
Walking back and forth like this, Gu Zheng squeezed through a very narrow gap. Finally, he saw some light in front of him.
The pure white ground emitted a faint white light. It looked very holy. The surrounding space suddenly became bigger. Even ten Gu Zheng's wouldn't be enough to fill the passage.
Gu Zheng also noticed that the walls had become clean. The ground was also very clean. It was completely different from the previous environment.
Soon, Gu Zheng stood at the edge of the passage. When he saw the whole picture, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
The entire space was huge. It was as big as ten football fields. The ground was shiny white jade. Layers of unknown runes were inlaid in the surroundings. There were eight passages leading to other places.
More importantly, in the middle, there was a huge water gate. A layer of water ripples covered the surface of the water gate, and in front of the water gate, there was a black crystal-like circle floating in the air. It looked like it had to be activated to get out.
Gu Zheng's guess was right. He did find a passage in the middle. However, Gu Zheng didn't go there immediately.
This was because on this white ground, there were two balls, one white and one black. Now, they were chasing each other inside, like playing children.
Isn't this the disc that sent them in? Looking at this familiar place, Gu Zheng suddenly thought. At that time, Gu Zheng clearly remembered that the disc that sent him to this place looked exactly the same as this place.
Especially the patterns on the ground. Although he only caught a glimpse before coming in, he was sure that it looked the same as the one in front of him.
Although the final exit was in front of him, Gu Zheng still carefully tested it first. His eyes were fixed on the two black and white balls swimming around.
They were slightly bulging, floating on the ground like a ball of water. They swam back and forth, not knowing what the other party was.
Gu Zheng took a step forward. The two balls still didn't ask him. Instead, Gu Zheng felt a warm current flowing from the ground to his body, making him feel warm all over.
Seeing that there was no reaction, Gu Zheng felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to move forward, he suddenly felt a trace of movement behind him.
Gu Zheng looked back and found that the strange snake from before was following him again. Moreover, its size had returned to two-thirds of its original size. It was now quietly approaching him from behind.
When the strange snake saw that Gu Zheng had discovered it, it stopped hiding and directly pounced on Gu Zheng again.
Gu Zheng saw that the snake was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed. It wasn't easy to injure it, but not long after, it recovered, especially with the snake's disgusting characteristics.
Now that he didn't have Lightning, how could he injure it? This way, the snake could exhaust him to death.
Gu Zheng didn't hesitate and immediately retreated, running toward the water gate in the middle.
Halfway there, Gu Zheng turned his head and saw that the strange snake had stopped outside. Its brown tongue was constantly sticking out, and its body was moving left and right, but it didn't dare take half a step in.
Gu Zheng's mind was spinning. He didn't think that this place would have some kind of restraining effect on the snake. Otherwise, it wouldn't have dared to come in. This way, he would be much safer.
Gu Zheng quickly came in front of the water gate. Gu Zheng touched the giant water gate with his hand. He found that although it was covered in water, it was as hard as stone.
Even if he used 50% of his strength, he couldn't move it at all. Gu Zheng was afraid of breaking it, so he didn't dare use all his strength.
Gu Zheng looked at the crystal ball in front of the water gate thoughtfully and came in front of it.
He didn't know what this black crystal was made of, but Gu Zheng felt that it had a faint connection with the water gate. Other than that, there was nothing else here.
The strange snake outside looked at Gu Zheng's actions. Its body swayed more and more, as if it was anxious about something. Its tongue couldn't be seen clearly in the air, but it was obvious that it was anxious.
Looking at the crystal floating up and down, Gu Zheng thought for a moment and reached out his hand to touch it. A cold feeling passed through his palm.
The immortal energy in his body flowed through his palm and into the crystal ball. The black crystal ball started to emit a faint black light. The black light shone into the water gate in front of him.
Ripples started to appear on the outside of the water gate. It started to move bit by bit, as if it had received the illumination of the black light and started to operate.
With the infusion of immortal energy, the immortal energy in Gu Zheng's body slowly decreased. Gu Zheng's expression, which was full of joy, became a little serious.
He realized that more than half of the immortal energy in his body had disappeared, but the water gate was still rippling. There were no more changes. This made him realize that he didn't have enough immortal energy in his body. It seemed that it wasn't enough to open this transportation gate.
Realizing this, Gu Zheng immediately let go of his hand. There was a strong enemy outside. He didn't dare to inject all his immortal energy into the water gate. In this situation, he noticed the change in the giant snake. The strange snake was already restless and wanted to rush in.
If the immortal energy in his body was low enough, the other party might be able to kill him instantly.
As Gu Zheng's hand left, the black crystal ball immediately stopped shining. The ripples on the water gate also gradually disappeared until it returned to its original state.
Because there was a comfortable heat flow underground at all times, Gu Zheng first put Xiangxiang on the ground and thought of a way.
Xiangxiang felt comfortable and let out a low moan. Even her body felt much more relaxed.
Gu Zheng looked at Xiangxiang, who was still unconscious. He was a little worried. What should he do next?
However, the strange snake made the decision for Gu Zheng. When it saw Gu Zheng's aura decreasing, the heart in its body started to become restless. Many of its memories had been sealed. It couldn't remember many things clearly, but it knew that its goal was to get out of the water gate.
However, it didn't have a real body. It couldn't activate the black crystal ball at all.
Seeing that the other party had stopped opening the water gate, it seemed that he wanted to recover. The desire to get out finally broke its fear of this place.
It also knew that this should be the weakest moment of the other party. Only by killing him could it take over her body and get out of here.
The longer this dragged on, the lower the chances of it killing him. What was it waiting for?
The strange snake rose into the air and rushed towards Gu Zheng. No matter what, he would always be in front of the little girl.
Gu Zheng instantly created a shield around Xiangxiang Beila. He placed her behind him and faced the strange snake directly. The other party finally charged over.
However, this place seemed to be able to suppress the strange snake. The flying black snake made a sizzling sound under the soft light below. Wisps of black smoke evaporated from its body.
Gu Zheng had just taken out the Li Bracelet when he saw the two black and white balls on the ground. The moment they saw the strange snake, they quickly rushed towards it.
There was a light cracking sound. A deep crack appeared on the smooth skin of the giant snake. Gu Zheng could vaguely see a trace of white coming out from inside.
Before the two black and white balls arrived, the black snake skin on the strange snake suddenly broke in two and shot towards the two black and white balls.
The black and white balls seemed to be attracted by the thick snake skin. Their bodies suddenly swelled like jelly, bouncing back and forth.
A crack appeared in the middle, and a tentacle of the same color reached out. It instantly grabbed half of the snake skin and wrapped it in its body. Then, it stopped moving.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he understood why the strange snake had hesitated to come up. It turned out that the black and white balls above were waiting for it.
The strange snake's appearance had changed greatly. Its black body had become snow-white and scaleless, and its body had shrunk by half. However, its aura had become more solid, as if its strength had increased by another level after shedding its shell. Its purple eyes were glaring fiercely at Ye Xiwen.
Six white claws appeared where its slender legs used to be. They looked extremely sharp. A three-inch-long horn grew on its head, faintly shining.
Even the white light on the ground could not harm it. It seemed to have been reborn and become a different kind of life form.
Gu Zheng saw that in the blink of an eye, his opponent's strength had increased by another level. Its body was also emitting an aura that made him fear.
"What kind of creature is this?" Gu Zheng threw the Li Ring in his hand to test the snake's strength. It quickly hit the snake's head, and it flew away.
This time, Gu Zheng's spirit formation was activated. The snake did not change back to its previous form to avoid his attack. It seemed that in order to enter this place, the snake had sacrificed a lot.
Gu Zheng, who was not willing to let go of his gains and losses, immediately controlled the Li Ring to chase after the snake. He wanted to beat it up when it was down.
Before the Li Ring arrived, a series of fireballs shot out from the middle, shooting towards the strange snake. Its body was covered in flames, and its aura was incomparably arrogant.
Kacha!
The giant snake opened its mouth, and a purple bolt of lightning brewed in the air. In the blink of an eye, it created a gap in the middle of the fireballs in the sky. It also hit the Li Ring without losing any momentum.
Clang!
The Li Ring, which had been beating the strange snake until it was better off dead, fell to the ground after receiving this attack.
Its body was covered in a layer of faint purple Qi, and the flames on its body disappeared without a trace. It was like an ordinary ring lying on the ground.
When the fireballs hit the strange snake's body, they did not cause any damage at all. They only caused a few sparks.
When Gu Zheng saw the lightning in the snake's mouth, he felt that something was wrong. This was because the lightning was very familiar. It was not the restriction in the wall.
How could it know this kind of lightning when it was in this form? Now that he had lost contact with the Li Ring, Gu Zheng did not stop what he was doing.
A pitch-black flying sword shot out from behind the strange snake like lightning, slashing towards the middle of its body. Gu Zheng had secretly released it just now, hiding in a corner and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
He had directly attacked the moment the other party shot out the lightning. This sword's ability to conceal itself was very strong. The strange snake only noticed the attack from behind when the sword shot out, but it was too late to dodge. It could only try its best to twist its body in an attempt to avoid the attack.
Even the scales from before had been pierced by the sword, not to mention the snake's unprotected body. Gu Zheng was confident that he could directly cut it in half, or even seriously injure it.
But before Gu Zheng could be proud of himself for a few seconds, the strange snake saw that it was unable to dodge. A cold light flashed from below its abdomen, directly hitting the flying sword in the air.
The black sword spun and flew into the distance. Gu Zheng focused his eyes and saw that it was actually the claw below its abdomen. He had not thought that it could be used like this.
Gu Zheng suddenly thought of an idiom: cutting off one's tail to survive. In fact, the situation in front of him was similar.
The giant snake's trembling body showed that it was also enduring great pain.
After sending the other party's sneak attack flying, the strange snake moved its body and rushed above Gu Zheng as fast as lightning.
Gu Zheng felt his vision blur and hurriedly dodged to the side. Although he had avoided the other party's bite, he had not avoided the other party's sharp claw attack. The reason was that the small claw had actually grown several times in an instant. Gu Zheng, who had not expected this, had a big hole instantly pierced through his left shoulder.
His entire body was directly sent flying by this great force. He flew along the smooth ground far away, leaving a blood-red mark on the ground.
The body protection on the surface of his body was not of much use at the same level. It was basically broken with one stab.
The giant snake drew an arc and continued to fly quickly towards Gu Zheng. The sharp-eyed Gu Zheng saw a purple light flickering in the other party's mouth.
"Swoosh" The long sword in the distance instantly flew back to Gu Zheng's hand, blocking in front of him.
The small purple lightning wasn't very strong, but the abnormal status effect was the most terrifying.
Gu Zheng used the long sword to block for himself. He felt his body go numb, but he could still control his body. Taking advantage of the fact that the lightning had turned into a mist, he hurriedly threw the long sword away.
At the same time, he rolled on the ground, but his body was threatened by the lightning, causing his movements to slow down. Even though Gu Zheng dodged with all his might, there were still a few deep claw marks on his back that were deep into his flesh.
