Gu Zheng did not expect to meet his "old friends" again. He recognized them at a glance. After all, they had come to find trouble with him time and time again. The smile on his face became even brighter. However, all of this seemed even more terrifying in the eyes of Commander Tiger.
The Federation and the rest were already numb. They knew that if Gu Zheng dared to face the monsters with confidence, he definitely had something to rely on. His own strength was definitely not weak. Therefore, they were mentally prepared for the Little Goblin to be sent flying.
However, this Tiger Demon was very powerful. He was the one who defeated Sun Feng two days ago and kidnapped some people. They did not expect him to have such a big reaction after seeing Shi Lei.
It was like a mouse seeing a cat. Everyone could see the fear on his face. They were originally prepared for a tough battle and might even lose many people. However, it seemed that the battle could end without a fight.
They instantly had a lot of confidence that Gu Zheng could save their loved ones.
"Sir, I feel that this is a misunderstanding. Yes, it's a misunderstanding." When the tiger demon saw Gu Zheng gently take a step forward, the sweat on his face immediately gushed out as he hurriedly said.
He did not dare to test the waters. If he died here, he would probably be chopped into pieces.
"Nonsense. Our friends and family were kidnapped by you. You even killed a few of us. You call this a misunderstanding?" The Federation heard this and immediately said with grief and indignation.
"Yes, I don't think it's a misunderstanding. You are here to take revenge."
"I was also ordered to come here. Look, I have not killed a single one of you. These Little Goblin did not listen to my orders. You can't blame me. Even just now, I shouted for them to not kill the innocent." The Tiger Demon hurriedly explained. As he had to entertain the guests, he had to capture some obedient humans. It would be a joke to count on these clumsy Little Goblin.
However, other than the few people he caught at the beginning, there were rumors that there were monsters. He could not catch anyone at all. The King had ordered that they were not allowed to enter the city to avoid attracting the attention of people with ulterior motives. Of course, he did not know that he was afraid of the owner of the sea city, so he kept a low profile.
This time, some Little Goblin were bullied. This was a good excuse to kidnap them. Otherwise, they would not be able to complete the mission. Even if there was a gap now, there were only a few dozen people. It was barely enough.
"Really? Do you dare say that you're telling the truth? " A strange smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face, causing the tiger yao to shiver. It felt as though something bad was about to happen.
"Yes, Your Excellency. I swear that I have never killed a single human here." The tiger demon was speaking the truth. After he sought refuge here, he really had not killed anyone.
"Alright, since that's the case, take your men and scram. You're not allowed to come here again. If I find out that you're still here, then this will be your end." Gu Zheng ruthlessly threatened, at the same time snapping his fingers.
A bolt from the blue suddenly appeared and struck a hillside not far away, creating a huge crater that was several feet deep.
"Thank you, Lord. I'll leave now. I'll leave now." The Tiger Demon nodded and bowed as he roared at the Little Goblin in front of him.
"Milord won't kill you. Hurry up and leave."
The Little Goblin had already been frightened out of their wits by the bolt of lightning. When they heard this, they ignored the pain in their bodies and hurriedly got up and retreated. They even abandoned some of the weapons that they had left behind.
The group of people looked at each other as they watched the demon flee. Soon, a happy smile appeared on their faces. After all, with the enemy gone, there was hope for their loved ones to be saved.
Village Chief Xuan asked, "Shi Lei, why did you let them escape? If you weren't here, what if they came back for revenge?"
Actually, there were more questions in his heart that he did not voice out. However, due to Gu Zheng's power, it was not appropriate to voice them out.
Gu Zheng looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and understood their thoughts.
He said to the crowd, "I know what you're worried about. However, I don't know where their nest is. If I let them go now, I'll follow them all the way and find their nest. I'll rescue our loved ones first. Otherwise, if we fight rashly, they might do something desperate and kill our loved ones. Moreover, I don't know where they are being held."
"This time, I'll do it once and for all. I'll help everyone get rid of this scourge. This way, nothing like this will ever happen again."
When the crowd heard this, some of the people who had misunderstood Gu Zheng blushed. They knew that they had misunderstood him. They were ashamed of their own thoughts.
If they did as they thought, they would really be harming their loved ones.
"I've misunderstood you. I'll apologize to you." Seeing this, Village Chief Xuan wanted to bow. However, just as he was about to do so, he was lifted up by a pair of hands.
"Village Chief Xuan, why are you being so courteous? I understand everyone's worries. I didn't make it clear at the start. Moreover, I haven't even repaid Elder Sun for saving my life. No matter what, I'll try my best to save them all." Gu Zheng explained.
"Alright, alright. Seems like I'll have to trouble you." Village Chief Xuan knew that this was a blessing brought by Elder Sun. He must have come here to see Elder Sun after he recovered his memories. He could help them solve this problem.
If it wasn't for him, the entire village would have been wiped out.
"Let's not waste any more time. I've just blended into the enemy's team. I'll take my leave first. If there's anything urgent, just crush this ball." Gu Zheng took out a small black ball. There was a trace of his spiritual energy in it. If he crushed it, he would be able to sense it within a certain distance.
Just as Xuan village head received the ball and was about to say something, he was shocked to find that Gu Zheng had disappeared. He kept the cold black ball in his arms and ordered the people behind him, "Everyone, let's go!"
"Everyone, let's go. Clean up your houses and wait for Shi Lei's good news."
The group of people split up in twos and threes. Even now, there were still many things to do.
Village Chief Xuan walked towards the small courtyard. There was not much medicine left. He wanted to mix it with water and give it to the people who were less injured.
Their home was in such a state. It would take a few days to fix it.
On the other side, Commander Hu was leading the Little Goblin to escape. After running for half a day, he felt that they were far away from the villa. Commander Hu then slowed down.
"I'm really lucky. It seems like the enemy doesn't want to deal with me." Tiger Demon thought to himself as he pressed down on his beating heart.
It was only his second time out and he had already met a killer. It seemed like it wasn't suitable for him to come out. He should just stay inside and guard. Don't think about other things. He was really unlucky.
At this moment, the Little Goblin was also panting. However, they didn't have time to ask questions. Now, the fish demon finally spoke.
"Commander Hu, who is that person? How can he make you so afraid?"
These Little Goblins couldn't tell how powerful that young man was. If he didn't send them flying, they would have thought that he was a harmless human.
"You don't have to ask. We'll go back and not come out again." Tiger Demon ordered.
"But, the Great King seems to need too few people. The guests will arrive in a few days. Will they blame us?" A Little Goblin with a red carp head asked. His two long whiskers quivered as he spoke.
"It's alright. As long as we don't torture them, it will be enough. According to the Great King, we will leave with the guests." Tiger Demon casually explained.
They didn't stop walking. However, they didn't know that a fish demon had sneaked into the group of Little Goblin and was retreating with them.
After half a day, they finally reached the lake. They jumped into the lake and swam towards the bottom.
In the crystal clear lake, in one of the hidden corners at the bottom, there was a relatively large dark tunnel. After the group of people swam in from here, they actually came to another dark river.
They followed the underground river and swam against the current. They continued to move forward agilely.
In a humid underground world, a beautiful woman was lying lazily on a high place. She wore a light and agile short-sleeved shirt, revealing a large portion of her snow-white skin. However, there were some white soft hairs on her ears that were almost invisible. It could be said that she was in the human world.
From time to time, a pair of Little Goblins patrolled below. They looked at her with adoration. There was almost no such beautiful female demon here.
Rabbit Demon twitched his mouth. He didn't like this place at all. However, she saved his life. He could sell himself to her. He had to stay here even if he didn't like it.
Suddenly, his ears twitched. He stopped lying down. In the next moment, he jumped down from above like an eagle and ran towards the underground river.
When he was halfway there, a majestic figure jumped out. Then, more than ten Little Goblins jumped out one after another. They shook off the water droplets on their bodies.
"How many times have I told you not to shake off beside me? You're all wet." A dissatisfied voice sounded from the sky.
"Brother Tiger, why are you angry with them?" Rabbit Demon knew that this would happen. He stopped outside in time. However, seeing that there were only so many of them, he couldn't help but ask.
"Brother Tiger, didn't you say to catch some people? Why isn't there anyone?"
"Don't mention it. It's really bad luck. Let me tell you, don't go out for the next few days no matter what. I actually met the man we discussed before. Luckily, he didn't attack me. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me." Tiger Demon said happily.
"It can't be. How can I be so unlucky? Oh right, Brother Tiger, how many people did you send this time? No one lost anyone, right?" Rabbit Demon's eyes flashed as he asked.
"No, I brought a total of eight brothers. No one is missing!" Tiger Demon didn't understand what he meant. He turned around and looked. Eight Little Goblin. There was no mistake.
"Mm, I'm just worried that someone will sneak in." Hearing this, Rabbit Demon was slightly relieved. He pulled Tiger Demon to the side and said worriedly.
"When you said that you saw that man, I panicked. Why don't we leave this place? I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen." Rabbit Demon was much more timid than before. He felt that it was good to be able to live.
"But King has been very kind to us. It's not good to leave like this. It would seem that we are too treacherous." Tiger Demon hesitated and said. His Junior Sister was much smarter than him. She had her reasons for being so sure.
"How about this? When King entertains the guests, if he really wants to leave with the other party, then we will sneak away secretly and not be with the other party. That's fine. King is so powerful. He doesn't need the two of us." Rabbit Demon saw that Tiger Demon didn't want to leave and said in a roundabout way.
"Mm, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Tiger Demon didn't reject immediately and said vaguely.
Rabbit Demon saw this and didn't force the other party. As long as he didn't object, the possibility of leaving this place was very high.
While Rabbit Demon and Tiger Demon were talking, Gu Zheng had already sneaked ashore from the other side. Even if he stood in front of them, as long as he didn't want them to discover him, they wouldn't be able to discover him.
However, Gu Zheng found a demon with a very powerful aura inside. It was actually an early stage Jin Xian. In order to reduce trouble, Gu Zheng hid his figure and went to investigate first.
The air here was very humid. Every breath was like drinking a mouthful of water. Gu Zheng simply closed his mouth and nose.
This place wasn't complicated. There was only a neat passage leading into the cave. Gu Zheng walked in and saw that it had been dug into a huge hole. Irregular houses were built randomly inside. Everywhere was inlaid with sparkling ores, making the underground as bright as day.
Of course, there was a huge house in the middle. The shocking aura came from there.
Some ordinary humans were walking on the road with a silver plate in their hands. There were also some who were walking around with some gorgeous decorations. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes. Seeing the fear on their faces, it was obvious that they were unwilling.
The entire space seemed to have been decorated a little better. It seemed that there really was a guest.
Gu Zheng walked along the edge and finally found a cave. Ignoring the two ordinary Little Goblin outside the door, Gu Zheng swaggered in.
There were no railings inside. These ordinary people couldn't escape even if they wanted to. There was no other way out.
At this moment, Gu Zheng saw a few familiar faces. There were also more than ten people who were huddled together in fear. They gathered together and leaned on each other.
Gu Zheng directly sent a voice transmission to the few familiar people. The few people suddenly raised their heads and looked around. Soon, their faces revealed ecstasy and they couldn't help but nod.
After Gu Zheng finished doing all this, they passed on Gu Zheng's words to the others. The others were skeptical, but most of them believed him. They more or less knew the name Shi Lei.
As this was a completely sealed space, once chaos broke out, Gu Zheng wouldn't have the time to care about the other party. He was confident that he could kill the other party, but he wasn't confident that he could kill the other party in one hit. In addition, if some Little Goblin went berserk, the public wouldn't have the time to care about them. Gu Zheng was prepared to set up the next formation here.
He could only let humans enter. No demons could break in. This way, after he dealt with the other party, he would escort them out.
Soon, Gu Zheng silently added a simple formation to this cave. However, he did not activate it because Gu Zheng wanted to see if he could find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Moreover, there were still some people outside. In order to ensure everyone's safety, Gu Zheng had enough patience.
Just as he was done, a monster with a huge shield on its back walked over. It looked no different from an ordinary human. It seemed that its transformation was perfect. The aura it gave off was that of a Tier 5 monster. Behind it were two ugly maidservants.
They walked in, berated loudly, and led everyone out of the room.
Hearing the conversation inside, Gu Zheng's heart skipped a beat. A very good idea appeared in his mind. He could pretend to be a servant and sneak in and find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Gu Zheng transformed into an ordinary man and snuck in.
The group of people first went to a simple room and put on what they thought were beautiful clothes before gathering together. The Rabbit Demon from before appeared and gave them some simple and crude instructions.
It was just some knowledge of the human world, and it warned them that if they made a mistake, they would be thrown to the Little Goblin to eat. This scared everyone so much that they trembled, afraid that they would make a mistake.
Gu Zheng had thought that if everyone was locked together, he would be able to activate the formation and launch a sneak attack. However, it was a pity that in this underground world, half of the people were outside. Only when they were extremely tired would they be allowed to rest and not care about their bodies.
It seemed that after the esteemed guest left, these people would not be in a good state either.
However, everyone knew that someone had come to save them, which gave them hope. They all hoped that the mysterious expert would quickly save them.
On the third day, a muscular man who was about two meters tall walked out from the palace. Behind him were four subordinates, including the Fox Demon and the Rabbit Demon.
It seemed that he was the King of this place. At the same time, Gu Zheng and the rest were on standby. Beside them were some delicacies that had just been prepared.
All the Little Goblin stood properly. They stood proudly on both sides, as if they were welcoming an important person.
Gu Zheng knew that the mysterious esteemed guest was about to arrive.
Outside the only entrance to the underground river, the King from before was already waiting there. However, two hours had passed, and there was no sign of impatience on his face. Some of the Little Goblin behind him started to slack off. However, under the angry stares of some of the leaders, they quickly returned to normal.
Ripples started to appear on the originally calm surface of the river. A figure shot up into the sky, causing countless splashes of water to fly in all directions.
The King laughed and a blue light beam shot out from his hand. It turned into a huge net in the sky. The splashes of water floated on it, forming a watery shield that pressed down on the figure in the sky.
