The Extreme Peak Mountain Range was a name the locals gave to the mountain ranges on both sides. It meant an impassable mountain range.
After a few days of traveling at full speed, Gu Zheng's group finally got close to this place.
In fact, after leaving Stone Peak Village for some distance, the environment had changed. Strong winds constantly blew in the air, and occasionally, a hurricane would howl, kicking up dust into the air.
As they approached the Extreme Peak Mountain Range, Gu Zheng could feel the majestic aura of the mountain range. Countless massive mountains appeared before them one after another, rising and falling continuously.
Looking from afar, one could only see the mountainsides of many of the mountain peaks. The rest of the mountain peaks pierced into the sky, and the upper half was impossible to see.
As for the outer mountain range, it was made up of a kind of bare black stone. There was no vegetation. Strong winds blew between the mountain crevices, and from afar, it sounded like a dragon's roar.
Moreover, the mountain peaks were abnormally steep. There was no way to climb them at all.
At this moment, when Gu Zheng's group of three looked at the mountain range and felt the incomparable aura, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Cutie, we've already arrived here. Next, you have to lead the way properly to find your master. Don't let me lead you to death," Gu Zheng said with a serious expression.
Although there were no clouds above the mountain peaks, countless blue lights flickered in the air. From time to time, a blue fox would appear or streak across the sky. If they wanted to fly up to search for their master, it would be unrealistic. Once they reached a certain height, they would instantly attract countless lightning bolts. None of Gu Zheng's group could withstand them.
"Squeak!" A series of squeaks came from Cutie's mouth.
"Relax. He can sense that his master isn't in an extremely dangerous place because his master is currently very safe," Shuang 'er habitually translated.
"That's good. Next, you lead the way. I hope everything goes smoothly." Gu Zheng looked into the distance, hoping that everything would go smoothly.
The three of them set off once more. This mountain peak, which had been silent for a long time, once again welcomed new uninvited guests.
A Many-Legged Monster that was five feet tall was sent flying by the numerous pitch-black fists. A figure beside it quickly disappeared into the void. When he reappeared, his hand was already behind the monster's head. A pair of sharp claws had already pierced into the monster's skull.
This majestic beast waved its five or six blade-like claws in the air, leaving behind streaks of cold light. After a loud roar, it finally fell down in vain, and its life force began to decline.
When the beast's body stopped twitching and its life force completely disappeared, a man, a woman, and a strange creature appeared in front of him. It was Gu Zheng and the others.
"That's strange. Why don't all the beasts here have those crystals?" Seeing the cute pet skillfully dissecting the other party's body again, Gu Zheng muttered to himself in confusion.
Regarding this, Shuang 'Er didn't know either. She could only vigilantly look outside to prevent any demonic beasts from appearing.
They had already been here for seven days, almost crossing a mountain every day. However, on the third day, they encountered the demonic beasts that lived here. Moreover, their strength was comparable to the demonic beasts in the outside world.
Although for them, just one round was enough to finish off the other party, it still made Gu Zheng feel that this place was different from the outside world.
The beasts wandering here were more violent and ferocious. They only had the instinct of beasts and didn't seem to know how to think at all. Moreover, Gu Zheng saw with his own eyes that some of the beasts fed on rocks.
However, no matter what kind of beasts it was, as long as they saw them, they would madly rush over. Even if Gu Zheng deliberately created a powerful attack in front of them, they would still madly rush over even if they knew that they were going to die.
Those ordinary people wanting to cross this mountain range was simply a fool's dream. With the attack power of the shamans, they could only go four or five mountains because the further they went, the stronger the demonic beasts would be.
So far, Gu Zheng still hadn't found the end. It was still an endless stretch of mountains.
"Are we not there yet?" Gu Zheng and the others once again passed by the corpses. It took them an entire day to go around the mountain range. They found a concave wall and hid inside to rest. Shuang 'er said weakly.
Because the further they went, the higher the mountains became. Now, as they walked, they could clearly feel gusts of cold wind blowing. Gu Zheng and the beasts were fine, but Shuang 'er had to support a bit of magic power to protect herself. Otherwise, if they stayed here for a long time, it would be easy for the Yin Qi to enter her body.
Therefore, after a day, Shuang 'er had to rest for a night.
"Squeak!"
The cute pet next to him pointed to the side and chirped. The tail behind it couldn't help but wag back and forth, making a series of bell sounds.
"Got it. You said that we can reach in two days at most. That's really good news. If we continue to go deeper, I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold on." Shuang 'er continued to translate and threw another medicinal pill to recover her strength.
Gu Zheng stood guard in front. The mountain range here was too long and too complicated. They still crossed it in a diagonal line. If they wanted to go through it to reach the Goblin's territory, they might not be able to do it themselves.
The night passed quickly, and the three of them used three days to finally stop at the foot of a huge mountain. However, the three of them hid a little further away with grave expressions on their faces.
In the middle of the mountain, a huge hole appeared in front of everyone. Countless amounts of cold air burst out from inside, dyeing the surroundings into frost.
According to the cute pet's instructions, it had escaped from here. Its master was also trapped inside.
The reason why they were so vigilant was that an almost transparent humanoid creature was hovering in the air like a ghost. It didn't leave the range of the hole, as if something inside was attracting it.
It didn't have any facial features, only four humanoid limbs. It looked like it was formed from water. It looked extremely weak, as if it would collapse at the slightest touch. However, Gu Zheng and the others knew that this was the absolute overlord of this place, an unrivaled existence.
Lunar Beast!
Since this place was formed by the power of heaven and earth, it was immune to both physical and magical attacks. So far, no attacks had been able to harm it. Although there was a speculation in the book left behind that perhaps only a soul attack could destroy it, none of the people here knew how to do that.
Even if Gu Zheng knew a little bit of how to attack it, he wouldn't be able to use that kind of attack. Once the Lunar Beast came into contact with an enemy's body, it would directly merge with the enemy's body and devour their soul from the inside. No one could resist it.
Fortunately, these Lunar Beasts were rare. They usually only existed in the Extreme Peak Mountain Range and near the Endless Cave. They also didn't wander around casually. As long as you didn't provoke them, there wouldn't be any problems.
"Little cute pet, are you sure your master is there? Inside the hole guarded by the Lunar Beast?" Gu Zheng asked solemnly.
The cute pet kept nodding. At the same time, it pointed at the hole and called out softly.
"It said that its master is not only trapped inside, but there is also an enemy inside. Everything is frozen inside. This is the only way to stop the Lunar Beasts from approaching. But in this situation, its master is unable to break free and must rely on others. That's why it went down the mountain to find help." “
"What? There is an enemy? You didn't mention this before. "Gu Zheng said in surprise.
"The enemy is not strong. It can't defeat its master, so it doesn't matter." Shuang 'er translated from the side.
"That's good. Now I will think of a way to lure it away!" Gu Zheng sighed in relief. From this, he could see that the enemy was able to use such a spell even after coming here. It was impossible for it to be a Jin Xian level character.
Jin Xian level character's cultivation was useless here. All of his cultivation was sealed. If Gu Zheng also encountered the Lunar Beasts, he could only pray that the Lunar Beasts were not interested in him. There was nothing he could do.
At this time, the cute pet quickly called out. Its body slightly trembled, as if it wanted to leave this place.
"It said that it has a way to lure the Lunar Beasts away, but it can't last for too long. It wants us to hurry and rescue its master."
"Good. Shuang 'er, wait for us here. Be ready to retreat at any time." Hearing this, Gu Zheng immediately instructed. Seeing Shuang 'Er nod, he understood what he meant and said to the little cute pet.
"We will stealthily approach it. When it discovers you, you will lure it away. This way you can buy me some time. Do you understand? Also, take off your bell. It is too loud."
Gu Zheng looked at the cold cave. Gu Zheng didn't have absolute confidence that he would be able to break through the other party's defenses quickly. Therefore, he wanted to buy a little more time. Perhaps he could rely on this bit of time to succeed.
The cute pet nodded and then shook its head. However, it held the bell's tail in its hand. In any case, it did not make such a loud sound.
Gu Zheng had no choice but to let it do as it pleased. At least when it attracted the Lunar Beasts, it would let out a loud sound. This would tell its master that they were allies. At least it would save him a lot of time to explain. It was not a bad thing.
One man and one beast curled up as much as possible. They restrained their auras and secretly approached the mountain. If the Lunar Beasts above had eyes, they would be able to find them as long as they looked down.
However, they did not know how the Lunar Beasts found their enemies. In any case, they did not rely on sight.
After successfully reaching the foot of the mountain, the two of them slowly climbed up. At the bottom, there was a place to step on, so they were barely able to get a little closer.
"What should we do?" Gu Zheng looked at the mountain in front of him. He was dumbfounded. The sound of the wind constantly entered his ears.
At this moment, the surrounding walls were somewhat smooth. Even if there were some protrusions, under the constant wind blowing day and night, the edges and corners had been smoothed out.
The cute pet tilted its head and used its sharp claws to test the hardness of the stone wall. "Deng deng!" It seemed that the hardness of the mountain was quite high. They could not silently touch it.
The cute pet nodded at Gu Zheng. Then, it suddenly rushed outside. "Ding dang dang!" It deliberately shook its head and crazily rang out. In this small space, it was very ear-piercing.
The Lunar Beast that was hovering above suddenly stopped and turned its body to face the cute pet in the air.
The cute pet suddenly took a deep breath and fiercely exhaled a breath of air. It quickly rushed towards the Lunar Beast. In the blink of an eye, the attack hit the Lunar Beast.
Gu Zheng saw that when the attack hit the surface of the Lunar Beast, the Lunar Beast's body flowed with light. The attack disappeared as if it had been absorbed. It was very strange.
An extremely low and ear-piercing low frequency sound suddenly resounded in the air. The Lunar Beast seemed to be enraged. It suddenly opened a small mouth on its abdomen. Then, it immediately rushed out and chased after the cute pet that had provoked it.
Gu Zheng, who was caught off guard, felt dizzy and almost fell down.
The cute pet in the lead was even worse. It directly fell from the sky. At this moment, the Lunar Beast was quickly approaching.
Under Gu Zheng's worried gaze, he was unable to stop the Lunar Beast. The cute pet, which was about to be approached, suddenly shook and directly drilled into the void, leaving behind the Lunar Beast that was at a loss.
Just when Gu Zheng thought that the Lunar Beast would not be able to find out the location of the cute pet, he saw the Lunar Beast's body flash again. A layer of visible ripples burst out from its body and spread outwards.
Gu Zheng's heart was fully prepared. However, when the ripples passed through him, he did not feel anything strange. It was as if there was no effect at all.
However, the Lunar Beast seemed to have seen the figure of the cute pet. It quickly rushed towards a certain place in the sky.
The cute pet's figure once again escaped from the void in a sorry state. Two slightly transparent wings suddenly appeared on its back. Its speed suddenly increased, and it ran away into the distance. Behind it, the Sound Beasts were hot on its heels.
Gu Zheng waited until the Lunar Beast was far away. He turned around and looked at Shuang-er who was looking at him worriedly. He gave her a reassuring smile. Then, a faint black light appeared between his ten fingers.
Pu! Pu! Pu!
Gu Zheng directly inserted his hands into the rock. The hard rock was as soft as tofu. Gu Zheng's palms sank halfway into the rock. Using the force, he quickly climbed up and quickly approached the entrance of the cave.
The bitter cold penetrated Gu Zheng's skin, causing Gu Zheng to involuntarily shiver. He hurriedly filled his entire body with killing intent. Only then did he feel much better.
The cave was not deep. When Gu Zheng arrived at the entrance, he discovered a huge block of ice that filled almost half of the cave. Dense cold air constantly rose from the top. Shockingly, there were two men imprisoned inside.
One of the men had a somewhat kind-looking face. He wore a scholar's robe and wore a gold-threaded crown. However, there were some scales embedded between his ribs. At this moment, his hands were crossed in a defensive manner.
Compared to him, the other man was somewhat ordinary. He wore a tattered beast hide, and his hair was somewhat messy. His posture was upright, and it was unknown what he was doing before he was frozen.
At this moment, both of them had their eyes closed. Gu Zheng could not feel any aura from their bodies. It was as if the two of them had entered some kind of breath-holding technique, completely blocking out the outside world.
However, what made him even more dumbfounded was that the cute pet did not tell him which one of its masters was.
It had to be known that there was a large gap between them. Gu Zheng could easily rescue the cute pet's master. Although the cute pet said that its master was stronger, both of them had been sucked into the ice and were still in a state of anxiety. Even if its master was strong, there was a limit to how strong he could be.
This way, as long as the cute pet recovered and broke through the ice, the enemy would be dead for sure.
On the other hand, if he rescued the wrong person, then he might be implicated as well.
It was not that Gu Zheng did not think of rescuing both of them at the same time. However, if the two of them fought as soon as they came out, he was afraid that they would attract the Lunar Beasts again. At that time, they would be in trouble. Gu Zheng had seen the speed of the Lunar Beasts. They were even faster than his current full speed.
Otherwise, the two of them would not have used such a stupid method to avoid the Lunar Beasts.
If the two of them did not fight and separated, this method would be good. However, the cute pet told him that the other party was an extremely evil Goblin. He often massacred the human race and was very smart. Every time he committed a crime, he would take a long time to do so. His master had to chase him for tens of thousands of years before he could catch him.
Thinking that if the other party was really like this, then the humans here would be in trouble.
It was not that he did not suspect the cute pet, but why did he agree to the cute pet's request in the stone house? That was the place that the people here yearned for. It was also the final resting place for so many human cultivators. If the cute pet had the slightest intention to harm the human race, Gu Zheng did not need to do anything. The remnant souls of the heroic spirits left in the stone tablet would have torn the cute pet apart.
Moreover, when Gu Zheng obtained the Power of Darkness, he specially scanned the cute pet. The other party was indeed a creature with relatively high spiritual intelligence. It had not even activated its spiritual intelligence, let alone transformed. If it could deceive him, then he deserved to be deceived.
Other than its strength being slightly higher, if Gu Zheng wanted to deceive it, it would be too easy.
These thoughts only took a moment for Gu Zheng to understand. However, before he could make a decision, the two people inside opened their eyes at almost the same time and stared at him.
Gu Zheng was startled by the two pairs of incomparably deep eyes staring at him.
"Who are you? Why are you here? Did my pet ask you to come here? "The scholarly man on the right said in a calm tone. It sounded very comfortable.
"Your pet? Since when did my pet become your pet? What a joke," the sloppy man retorted as soon as he heard that.
Although Gu Zheng did not see the other party's lips move, the two people's voices came from their bodies. Gu Zheng knew who was talking.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. When my pet comes back, we will know the truth," the man on the right said disdainfully.
"You are really interesting. Of course, you know that only my pet can lure that strange guy away. It can't come back at all," the sloppy man said disdainfully.
"Let me out. I'll destroy this damned demon. I don't know how many of our people he has killed. It wasn't easy for us to capture him. We can't let him out." The sloppy man gritted his teeth and said.
"Your lie is so righteous that it inspires reverence," the other person retorted.
Gu Zheng immediately fell into a dilemma. However, he knew that he did not have much time. He had to find the cute pet's real owner as soon as possible.
