"Ouch!"
A painful cry suddenly sounded from the mouth of the Qilin Beast.
Even the young man who was running away could not help but look back, which made him stop immediately.
No one could believe that the young man could pierce the spear into the Qilin Beast that was pouncing at high speed. One must know that the slightest mistake would have resulted in death.
At least none of them did it head-on. Those who did it all died.
How much courage did it take to do it? Not only did it require quick eyes and hands.
The young man's speed was so fast that it was impossible for them to keep up with him.
The Qilin Beast was constantly howling on the ground. The great pain made it almost lose its mind. Its sharp claws were constantly scratching around. At the same time, its body was constantly twisting back and forth, as if this would reduce its pain.
Gu Zheng hurriedly protected Shuang 'er and retreated a little more, afraid that he would accidentally hurt her. At the same time, he picked up another spear from the ground.
Although the spear looked ordinary, the body of the spear was extremely hard, especially the sharp point polished from white bones. It was sharper than a good weapon.
However, the young man was only distracted for a moment. Soon, he moved towards the forest again, and finally stopped at the edge of the forest. He had a feeling in his heart that this newcomer from the outside world would create a miracle.
A miracle that had not been created for tens of thousands of years.
The entire scene was silent. Everyone's attention was still on the smiling young man in the middle. It was as if everything could be easily resolved by him.
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in the sky. Large black clouds floated in the sky, covering the whole sky. It made the already gloomy environment even darker.
Blue lightning constantly appeared in the clouds, adding a layer of blue light to the world. Between the thunder and lightning, one or two lightning bolts directly fell from the sky and hit the ground from time to time.
There was a trace of panic in the crowd because the thunder tribulation was coming. However, seeing that the former captain was still looking forward and did not give any orders, they quieted down and continued to wait.
The Qilin Beast, which had been buffered for a while, finally began to fight. At this time, the spear had been broken in two by the Qilin Beast because of the vibration from the distance. However, there was still a small part of the spear in front of the young man's eyes.
"You can still stand like this?" Gu Zheng looked at the Qilin Beast in amazement. With such a serious injury, it would have been dead in the outside world. However, he did not expect that the Qilin Beast would stand up again and stare at him with hatred in its eyes. Its whole body was covered in flames. In this dim environment, it looked like a terrible monster.
At this moment, the oppressive aura in the sky made Gu Zheng feel very uncomfortable. He felt that if he continued to stay like this, something bad might happen. He had to deal with the other party in one strike.
Gu Zheng's lips moved a bit, and Shuang 'er behind him was stunned for a moment. However, she quickly pointed at Gu Zheng's waist, indicating that she understood.
In any case, her hands had been grabbing at that spot the whole time. No one would notice this small movement, except for the young man in front of her.
Under the huge blue lightning, half of the sky was illuminated. He clearly saw a white hand reach out and grab the end of the spear. A layer of black light quickly flashed and poured into the spear. Then the sky fell into darkness again, covering his face of disbelief.
His hands were trembling. He knew that there was something precious in his hands, so he controlled it not to move. However, his body was trembling uncontrollably.
One man and one beast looked at each other. With a huge flash of lightning flashing across the sky again, illuminating the whole world, the Kirin Beast rushed toward Gu Zheng with a strong momentum.
This time, it was fully focused. Its four hooves suddenly exerted force and rushed toward the other party in an instant. Its whole body was ready to dodge the other party's weapon at any time. This time, it could not let this weak human hit it. It wanted to swallow him into its stomach and then tear all these people to pieces.
In just a short time, it would pounce on the other party and kill all the people hiding behind him.
However, it only saw the human in front of it gently raise his hand, and the spear in its hand disappeared in front of its eyes. It did not catch the trajectory of the other party's weapon at all. Then, it suddenly felt a sharp pain in its last intact eye. Even its rushing body was stopped by the huge inertia of the other party. It stopped moving in place, and then it lost consciousness and fell into endless darkness.
In the dim light, the other people only saw Gu Zheng raise his hand and the spear in his hand disappeared. Then, the Kirin Beast, which was supposed to rush forward, trembled. The spear that disappeared had accurately hit the other party's eye.
Because the unusually conspicuous red color had disappeared.
The crimson figure swayed a few times on the spot, then took two small steps back and fell down with a loud bang. There was no sound, not even a trace of a howl.
Another bolt of blue lightning flashed in the sky. Everyone could clearly see that the Qilin Beast was already lying on the ground, motionless. It was completely lifeless and couldn't be more dead.
"Hurry up! Hurry up and pull the wounded up. Pack up the things left behind. Hurry up, or it will be too late to go back. "Captain Qian was the first to react. He immediately ordered everyone.
Everyone, who had been motionless, immediately moved. Everyone seemed to know what to do. They began to work in an orderly manner.
When the young man saw this, he hurried back again.
At this time, the chilly wind between heaven and earth was getting stronger and stronger. Captain Qian hurried to Gu Zheng's side and ran with his son.
"Father, look!" The young man showed a big white egg in his hand.
"You go back first. I will talk to this young master first." Captain Qian said to his son.
No matter what the reason was, the young man killed the Kirin Beast. Captain Qian had to be respectful. He even changed the way he addressed him.
"Young master, please allow me to give the body of the Kirin Beast back to him."
At this time, the chilly wind between heaven and earth was getting stronger, so Captain Qian's voice was shouting. He was afraid that Gu Zheng could not hear him clearly. However, he did not know Gu Zheng's name, so he could only be cautious.
"No problem. You can do whatever you want with it." Gu Zheng also replied loudly. Looking at the excited look on Captain Qian's face, he did not know whether it was the body that was more important or seeing his son return safely. Anyway, for him, this thing was not useful at all.
If he used this item to exchange for their favorability towards him, he might be able to obtain some additional benefits for himself at a crucial moment. So, why not?
Hearing his words, Captain Qian quickly signaled a few people not far behind him. Those people hurried up and began to carry the heavy body.
"Thank you for saving my son. Thank you."
When Gu Zheng walked to the crowd, Captain Qian suddenly shouted at Gu Zheng from behind.
Gu Zheng just paused for a moment and continued to walk forward. However, no one except Shuang 'er noticed.
He was a failure of a father, but he was also a great father.
At this time, most of the people had gathered. Seeing Gu Zheng walking slowly, everyone showed a look of admiration and automatically made a path for him.
When the two of them came to the innermost side of Han Xiu and the others, Ma Ji and Zheng Ming surrounded Gu Zheng and clicked their tongues in amazement.
"I can't see it. Fellow Cultivator Gu, tell us secretly. Are you a senior who came to snatch the treasure?" Ma Ji secretly glanced around and found that the humans here were not paying attention to them. He secretly whispered in Gu Zheng's ear.
Gu Zheng did not deny it and shook his head. He just looked at the man who was carrying the qilin beast. However, Han Xiu's eyes flashed with a strange light, revealing a trace of contemplation.
"Let's go. Everyone, let's go." With Captain Qian's return and the order, everyone turned and continued to move away from the forest.
Even the bodies of the wounded and dead were taken away.
After walking for a full two hours, the lightning in the sky began to fall. From time to time, it would fall beside them and create a hole. However, everyone seemed to be used to it and did not care about the scene outside at all. They just quickened their pace.
Gu Zheng looked at the people in front of him who did not seem to be out of breath at all. From the beginning until now, everyone was walking at a slightly faster speed. However, Ma Ji and the others who were beside him were beginning to breathe unsteadily.
It was obvious that the people here seemed to have practiced some superficial martial arts. The strength of their bodies was at least the strength of a Tier Two in the outside world.
Along the way, everyone was jubilant. Although a few of their companions had died, the harvest this time was definitely a bountiful harvest. When they returned, the contribution would definitely make them bloom with joy.
Moreover, the young man loved the big egg in his hand all the way. Almost all of his eyes were fixed on it.
After walking for another hour, a messy stone field appeared in front of them. It was completely different from the slightly black soil under their feet.
At a glance, they could not see the end of the stone pile. As far as the eye could see, there were all messy stones. This messy patch of green constantly revealed itself. There were actually some green lines in these stones that could not be seen. It was very obvious in this darkness and gave people a very uncomfortable feeling.
"Everyone, hurry up. We're almost there." Captain Qian encouraged everyone from above.
This made Han Xiu, who thought that they had reached the destination, extremely disappointed. They were already very tired at this time, but they still cheered up and followed behind the other party.
Seeing that Gu Zheng and Shuang 'er were still the same as before, with a relaxed expression, she was very envious.
However, not long after, a tall shadow appeared in front of them. The figure in front of them sped up a lot. It seemed that the other party's village was in front of them.
When they got a little closer, a tall stone wall appeared in front of them. These stone walls were all built with huge stones that were about ten feet in size. They were at least twenty to thirty feet tall.
In the gaps of the stone wall, some green light filled both sides. It was very similar to the thing that was in the gravel below. Moreover, on the stone wall, there would be a millstone-sized green light emitting a green light every once in a while. It looked extremely strange.
In the middle, there was a huge stone door that had fallen halfway. There were a few guards holding weapons on the side of the wall. They were anxiously standing there for a long time. After discovering them, they immediately shouted something in surprise.
However, the distance was too far, and coupled with the rumbling in the sky, Gu Zheng couldn't hear them clearly. However, he didn't need to guess to know that they had been waiting for these people.
After everyone hurriedly entered, the stone door slammed down heavily. Gu Zheng saw a green screen of light rise up from this not small village, isolating all sounds from the outside.
There were already quite a few people gathered inside. Some people curiously sized up Gu Zheng and the other newcomers, then no longer paid attention to them.
They surrounded those people one after another, asking when this time would be.
When everyone opened up the things they carried with them, everyone became excited. Those bloody pieces of meat made them incomparably excited.
Gu Zheng frowned as he observed them. It seemed that there was a shortage of food here. Their eyes were shining as if they hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Moreover, most of them were relatively thin and weak. Their spirits seemed to be a bit sluggish.
"Hua!"
When the corpse of the Qilin Beast was revealed to everyone, everyone was in an uproar. Everyone was so excited that their faces were flushed red. It was as if they were looking at an incredible treasure.
Gu Zheng's gaze moved away from there. He took two steps outside and roughly glanced at the outline of the entire village.
The entire village was surrounded by tall walls. All the buildings in the village were also made of the dark green stones outside. Although it was very dim outside, the brightness of the village was still okay. It was just that all the buildings were green, which made people feel uncomfortable for a while.
Moreover, the village was big enough. All the houses were designed to be far apart. It seemed like there was a kind of empty space. However, what caught Gu Zheng's attention the most was the several zhang high platform in the middle of the village. It was a few heads taller than all the houses, so it could be seen at a glance.
The whole thing was steaming with green Qi. A thigh-thick green beam of light shot straight into the sky. It turned out that the barrier outside the village was formed by it.
At this time, the lightning outside suddenly turned into an extreme blue color. The whole world seemed to have become blue. Even with the isolation of this layer of barrier, there was still a deafening sound of thunder in everyone's ears.
Han Xiu and the others were directly scared. On the contrary, these ordinary people did not react at all. Only some children seemed to have known it long ago and covered their ears.
Countless blue lightning bolts fell down like rain. The dense lightning bolts covered the sky and landed on the green shield like raindrops falling into water. Countless ripples rose up, and countless waves rose up, blocking the outside world.
No wonder everyone was afraid of this thunder tribulation. This was an open area, there was nothing to protect. It could be said that they were bidding farewell to this world.
The light beam in the middle instantly brightened, but it did not consume energy to maintain the barrier. Instead, a burst of energy went down the light beam and was absorbed by the stone altar and integrated into the green mist above.
This thing must be some kind of array, but there was no spiritual power fluctuation on it. Instead, there was a kind of cold aura energy that was constantly wandering in it.
It must be known that although Gu Zheng's spiritual awareness couldn't leave his body, he was still very confident in his sensitivity to spiritual aura.
"Could it be that the people in the past left it here?" Gu Zheng thought in surprise. Otherwise, there would be no need to set up such a magical array here to firmly protect them.
At this time, the surrounding crowd had dispersed, and the father and son from before were no longer seen. Everyone else ignored them.
Han Xiu asked from the side, "What is outside? What should we do next?"
There was no other way. Gu Zheng's outstanding performance made them all convinced. They unconsciously followed her lead.
Gu Zheng was just about to say something when suddenly a few figures came out from the front door. This house was obviously much more exquisite than the others. There were even two rough stone lions at the door.
Captain Qian whispered something to the people next to him. At the same time, he pointed in Gu Zheng's direction. He seemed to be explaining Gu Zheng's identity to them.
"What's the matter, Fellow Daoist Gu?" Han Xiu's eyes followed his gaze. She was not surprised, but there seemed to be a very strong person who was fiercely looking in their direction.
"It's okay. Wait a while. Someone will explain it to you. Don't worry." Gu Zheng recovered a little, but his pupils suddenly shrank.
Because he actually perceived a trace of internal force in the strong young man's body. It must be known that he did not find a trace of internal force in anyone around him. This was the first person he had met with internal force.
If it was outside, Gu Zheng did not know how many people like this would be killed with a sneeze. They did not even have the qualifications to let him look at them. But now, the faint dangerous aura of the other party told him that if he was not careful, he might really be killed by the other party.
Perhaps Captain Qian was saying something. He was just looking at them with an indifferent attitude. Suddenly, his eyes flashed. An imposing aura surged out from the other party's body. He looked at Gu Zheng provocatively.
Gu Zheng's face did not reveal any fear at all. Instead, he fiercely glared back. On the other hand, Shuang 'er was frightened by the other party's malicious aura. She quickly hid behind Gu Zheng, her timid expression causing one to feel even more tender affection for her.
Gu Zheng clearly saw that the person's attention was attracted by Shuang 'er. A greedy look appeared in his eyes.
Although Han Xiu was also very beautiful at this time, Shuang 'er still retained her Immortal Qi. Compared to her, she was obviously at a disadvantage. Moreover, Shuang' er's delicate and pitiful posture could arouse some people's desire to protect her.
Gu Zheng stepped forward and quietly blocked Shuang 'er behind him. His eyes were full of warning. If the other party dared to have any ideas about Shuang' er, he would definitely teach him a lesson.
When the person saw this scene, he was stunned. A playful look appeared on his face. Then, he chuckled a few times and did not look at Gu Zheng anymore.
In a few days, they would know the cruelty of reality. Then, he would let them know how powerful he was.
At this time, the former captain had already walked over. He respectfully said to Gu Zheng, "Young Master, the elders of the village have something to ask you."
