"Ding Dang, Ding Dang." The crisp sound of a bell came from behind. Gu Zheng turned around and looked curiously. A small and delicate creature was flying towards them.
Gu Zheng thought it was a bird when he first heard the sound. He didn't expect it to be a palm-sized creature. It had two black eyes, a small mouth, two ears like a cat, and a golden bell at the end of its tail. The sound came from there.
Its body was covered in soft blue fur, but its five-fingered forelimbs, the bottom of its mouth, the inside of its ears, and its stomach were all white and fluffy. It looked like a little raccoon without dark eye circles. It looked so cute.
Gu Zheng didn't know how it flew over from behind, but he noticed that some of the people relaxed when they saw it. It seemed that this pet had a lot of fighting power.
The cute pet flew above the city wall and looked at the giant elephant in front of it with its big eyes. Then, it crooked its finger at Chang Xi, who was behind it, as if it knew what to do.
But Gu Zheng knew that it definitely didn't have intelligence. It could only mean that it was very intelligent, but it was still a beast.
Chang Xi took out a small pouch, from which green balls of various sizes could be seen everywhere. The cute pet reached out and picked up five or six of them one by one, throwing them all into its mouth and swallowing them. Then, it charged towards the giant elephant outside.
As the bell continued to ring, the Chinchilla's body began to slowly expand. When it had grown to a certain size, its body continued to fall. A figure similar to a giant elephant stood in front of the giant elephant. The Chinchilla stood up like a human, slightly arched its body, and stretched its claws forward to block the charge of the opponent.
Although its body was still very big, the cuteness on its face was even more obvious. It was like an oversized bear cub. Even if its face was pretending to be fierce, Gu Zheng still found it adorable. He couldn't help but want to touch it.
However, the others didn't think the same way as Gu Zheng. They stared at the scene in front of them, wondering if the creature in front of them would be able to stop the enemy and make it lose its deterrence.
The giant elephant's eyes flashed red, and its nose suddenly became very hard, like a spear, as if it was going to pierce through the elephant.
But the cute pet still didn't move, as if it didn't see it. It was still in the same posture, but it used a little strength to wait for the coming impact.
Amidst everyone's exclamations, the spear instantly pierced the cute pet's abdomen. But strangely, when it came into contact with its white belly, a layer of ripple-like waves rose in front of the belly. The spear that was inserted into the belly did not pierce through it. Instead, it disappeared as if it had entered another layer of space.
Spatial ability!
Gu Zheng's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't expect the cute pet to have such a heaven-defying ability.
With a loud bang, the two figures collided with each other. A shockwave burst out from the two of them, blowing away the surrounding rocks, revealing the black soil underneath.
Even Gu Zheng, who was far away, could feel a gust of wind, but Gu Zheng looked over there.
Because the figures of the two people had already appeared, the cute pet's sharp claws were deeply embedded in the other's shoulders. The huge impact of the other's attack was still constantly pushing it back. The cute pet's two legs were deeply embedded in the ground, leaving behind a plough.
But the elephant's impact was getting slower and slower. After a short distance, the cute pet finally stopped the elephant's charge.
Seeing this scene, everyone's hearts were at ease. At least at this distance, the elephant couldn't do that kind of unstoppable charge again, and it wouldn't cause any harm to the city wall.
On the other side, the cute pet had already engaged in a close combat with the elephant. When the elephant's charge was stopped, the cute pet's first reaction was to stretch out its sharp claws and cut off the elephant's nose. The elephant's nose, which was almost the end, was instantly cut off.
Then the cute pet jumped back, and then pulled forward. The incomparably long nose on its chest was pulled back from its chest and thrown to the side.
Taking advantage of the elephant's wailing, the cute pet instantly closed in. Its sharp claws were now taller than Gu Zheng's entire body. It went up and scratched at the elephant's body, but the incomparably hard skin couldn't block the attack at all. In an instant, a large bloody hole appeared on its body.
The situation of the battle was turning for the better for the village side. Because even if the elephant was resisting, the cute pet and its body size didn't match, so it couldn't touch the elephant at all. Instead, bowl-sized snowflakes were constantly blooming on its body.
The cheers on the city wall were endless, and everyone showed a relaxed expression. Even some people in the house came out to feel everyone's joy. It seemed that their side would soon win.
Previously, in Gu Zheng's house, an elder congratulated Village Chief Chang. "It seems that we will be able to pass this time peacefully. Moreover, after a few more decades, when that little qilin grows up, hundreds of years of peace will be just around the corner for our village."
Everyone's face was very happy. Although they couldn't wait for those stable days, their descendants would have to show their kindness to them. Even after death, they could proudly stand in front of their ancestors.
"Hehe, this time I have already arranged it. Tonight, everyone can drink a portion of qilin soup, so everyone can enjoy a few more years." The village head Chang said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Although they were already prepared when they knew that there was a qilin corpse, but when they heard it with their own ears, they couldn't help but feel happy.
When everyone was laughing in the house, the same thing happened on the city wall outside. With the last attack of the cute pet, the elephant finally fell down heavily.
And when the cute pet came back, it deliberately attacked the head of all the giant elephants that were still gasping for breath, making sure that they were completely dead. Finally, it turned back into its previous appearance and quickly flew back.
Some impatient people began to lift the stone gate and rushed out. Those left behind corpses were delicious food for them.
To be honest, they were looking forward to seeing more of such giant beasts. They didn't want to see some demon beasts that couldn't be eaten. They were highly poisonous and could only be thrown away.
But at this time, the giant elephant that was supposed to be dead suddenly stood up, and a red light shot out from its eyeball and hit the broken nose.
Like the final radiance of the setting sun, the body of the giant elephant fell down again and completely lost its vitality.
But the broken nose suddenly bounced from the ground and flew directly in the direction of the stone gate. Under the stone gate, there were still some villagers. They didn't expect such a thing to happen, so they were stunned on the spot. But at this time, they were under the city wall, so even if they wanted to hide, they couldn't hide.
Only a few people who rushed out immediately dodged to the side when they saw this scene.
When the people on the city wall saw this scene, their faces changed drastically and they cried out in surprise.
But at this time, a figure jumped out from the city wall and went straight for the giant nose. Holding a huge wooden stick, he hit the middle of the nose fiercely.
A soft sound rang out in the air, and the nose was directly sent flying, landing on an empty ground, raising a large amount of dust.
Then, the figure flipped over and landed lightly on the ground. His movements were relaxed, and there was a faint smile on his face. It was the grandson of the village chief, Chang Xi.
The villagers who had been rescued all gathered around him. Their faces were filled with relief as they thanked Chang Xi profusely.
Gu Zheng looked at the smiling face of the other party. Suddenly, he turned his head and stared at Gu Zheng. The provocation in his eyes was very strong.
Gu Zheng couldn't help but frown. Although he didn't know what the other party meant, it was obvious that he didn't like the look of him.
Then, groups of people came out of the village and went around the places that had been turned into pools of green liquid. They rushed towards the dead elephants and started to dismember them.
In the end, there were only a few people left on the city wall. They were tidying up some things. Gu Zheng, who was preparing to go down, suddenly saw that there were a few small blue pearls in some of the corpses. Gu Zheng felt a familiar aura from them. After watching for a while, Gu Zheng came down from the city wall.
At this time, the entire village was filled with joy. After finding Shuang'er, who was hiding at the side, he directly went back. The rest of the things had nothing to do with him.
Gu Zheng lay on the small stone bed, thinking about what had happened before. He was thinking about the pearls.
At this time, Gu Zheng could finally confirm that the aura within the pearls was exactly the same as the aura within his body. It was just that he didn't know how to obtain it.
Could it be that he had to kill demon beasts? Not to mention that there were so many demon beasts, even if he could, he didn't know how to absorb it without the guidance of magic power. Could it be that he had to eat it? Perhaps it was best to find someone to ask.
On the other side, Shuang'er performed a magic trick and took out a wooden table. Then, she sat beside it and carefully took out some powder to mix herbs. She didn't have anything to do and didn't know what to do.
The two of them were silently doing their own things until someone began to knock on their door.
"Young Master Gu, do you have time? I have come to give you some things. "An old voice sounded from outside, interrupting Gu Zheng's thoughts.
Shuang'er quickly tidied up all the extra things in the room and then got up to open the door.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Gu Zheng. It was actually the elder who was sitting at the side that day.
"This old man has come to give you some things. I saw that there was no one around, so I guessed that you were all together." The elder said with a smile. At the same time, he took out two lunch boxes. A trace of strange fragrance came out from them.
"Elder, what are these things?" Gu Zheng asked curiously. He invited the elder to sit here. Shuang'er obediently took them and put them on the stone table. These were all sent over by someone when they went out.
The room was a little narrow, but the elder didn't mind. He didn't refuse and sat down at the side.
"Young Master Gu, just call me Elder Mei," Elder Mei said politely. She pointed at the two lunch boxes in front of her and continued.
"The two of you should taste this delicious Kirin meat first. It's the most effective time now."
"Is there any benefit to it?" Gu Zheng didn't suspect that the elder would harm them. He signaled Shuang'er to open it together. An extremely rich fragrance came out of it.
Gu Zheng smelled it and knew that there were no spices in it. It was just the meat itself that had a natural fragrance.
"Of course, this is the flesh of a Kirin beast. I sent it over as soon as it was done. Eat it and you'll at least increase your lifespan by ten years. You won't get sick for the rest of your life. There are many benefits." Elder Mei praised.
"Well, it's really not bad. It's not expensive. There should be a limit to the number of times it can be eaten. I guess it's only effective once at most." Gu Zheng had already picked up a piece of meat and ate it. It melted in his mouth. The rich taste was simply a top-notch delicacy.
"If I had known, I would have left some." Gu Zheng suddenly thought of this. He was excited.
However, on second thought, this thing obviously couldn't be left for too long. Otherwise, the taste would be greatly reduced. Gu Zheng could taste that something was wrong with it. It was because the Kirin beast had been dead for too long.
"Of course, it can only be eaten once. I was lucky enough to encounter a Kirin beast that was seriously injured and died. Only then did I know that it had such an effect. However, the whole village couldn't hunt it. To be honest, it's all thanks to Young Master Gu that we were lucky enough to eat here." Elder Mei said with a smile. She wasn't in a hurry. She would definitely leave some for him later.
As the thick soup entered his stomach, Gu Zheng felt a wave of heat fill his surroundings. His originally slightly tired mind could now be said to be full of energy.
Gu Zheng felt a faint force emerge from all parts of his body. It was as if he was recovering his magic power. However, in the next second, before Gu Zheng could feel it, the situation in his body disappeared without a trace. It was as if there was a powerful law suppressing him.
Shuang'er, who had already eaten, revealed a trace of joy in her eyes. She nodded at Gu Zheng quietly, as if she had received a great benefit.
"I wonder what business Elder Mei has with me this time?" Gu Zheng looked at Elder Mei patiently waiting for him. It seemed that there was something she wanted to discuss with him.
"Of course, I do have some matters to discuss with Young Master Gu. Furthermore, it is regarding your sister. I know that your sister has magic power." Elder Mei smiled and said something that shocked Gu Zheng.
Instantly, Gu Zheng and Shuang'er stood up and looked at each other covetously.
"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone." Elder Mei still had that smile on her face. She wasn't worried about anything happening to her.
Gu Zheng looked around and then sat down again. He gestured for Shuang'er to look at the door and said in a deep voice.
"Say, what do you want to do?"
"I want to cooperate with you."
.....
After a while, Elder Mei walked out with a smile on her face and returned to the place where she was supposed to be.
"Young Master Gu, are we really going to help him?" Shuang'er bit her red lips and asked worriedly. She was afraid that she would bring danger to Gu Zheng.
"Of course. After all, the other party gave us what we needed in exchange. I feel that he was telling the truth. If they were really kidnapped, then the lives of over a thousand people would have been in vain." Gu Zheng shrugged and sat down.
Even if the other party didn't say anything, Gu Zheng would have done something to trip him up. He was very familiar with that gaze of his. He thought that he had hidden it very well, but Gu Zheng saw through it with a single glance. Originally, he had planned to bring them along and leave this place in two days to avoid trouble.
Shuang'er's lips moved, but she didn't say anything. The other party was actually possessed and wanted to lead the youths of the clan to hunt another type of cyan beast. Although the cyan beast was not as powerful as the Qilin beast, its speed was definitely something that no one wanted to encounter.
It was because of a rumor that as long as one ate five demonic beasts of different attributes, they would be able to break the shackles of this place and cultivate the immortal arts again. There were many immortal arts here, all of which were recorded on stones by the previous people and preserved together.
However, this Elder Mei felt that it was simply nonsense. It was just for his own ambition because he was the only one here who had hope of cultivating the immortal arts. Under the temptation of immortality, he had already lost his mind.
Who told the impossible to kill Qilin beast to be brought back? Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought up this matter.
After all, the other five demonic beasts were not invincible. There were precedents, but no one had killed the Qilin beast before.
If they lost too many youths, then the entire village would not be able to sustain itself. They would have to join other villages.
Therefore, even if they didn't agree, there was nothing they could do. However, Elder Mei had a divine ability since he was young. Perhaps it was passed down from his ancestors' bloodline.
Originally, this divine ability was considered useless in this life because it was useless here. However, after he inadvertently discovered the abnormality in Shuang'er's body, he didn't feel that there was any problem. Instead, he felt that if his village really had someone who knew the immortal arts, even if they couldn't control the power of darkness, it could still greatly increase the strength of the village.
After asking the newcomers, he also knew that the outside world had basically not changed. He felt that this place was quite good and didn't have any extravagant hopes of leaving. However, after listening to the village chief's plan and seeing Chang Xi standing at the side, he remembered Gu Zheng and his sister.
Therefore, he specially took the initiative to come and deliver it to them. Otherwise, how could he let an elder do it?
When he learned that the other party wanted to rush out, Elder Mei felt that they would definitely be able to leave. After all, they had the immortal arts. There would definitely be no accidents, and they wouldn't want to live here for the rest of their lives.
Moreover, many of Gu Zheng's questions were actually recorded here. There were some things that he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply threw him a certificate. Although ordinary people couldn't enter, it was very easy for an elder to enter.
The two hit it off and happily reached an agreement.
