At this time, the middle of the gate was empty and had lost the ability to teleport. The door frame formed by the red mist was still tumbling, but its color had dimmed a lot.
This time, more than a thousand people were teleported out.
"You just have to wait here. I reckon that as long as we don't leave this place, Manager Feng won't arrange for anyone else to come in. You can rest assured." Gu Zheng first said to Ren Jie, then turned his head to the people beside him.
"You have to help Patriarch Ren take care of everything."
"Ancestor God, please rest assured. This is our home now. We won't be like that ingrate Qian Xifeng. We will cherish this moment," said a Celestial Immortal who had just entered.
Perhaps it was because everyone had just joined. Even He Sheng and the rest didn't have much time. In addition, under such favorable conditions, everyone integrated very quickly.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." Gu Zheng nodded. In a flash, he arrived in front of his own team.
"Ancestor God, we can set off at any time!" Xia Qi saw Gu Zheng appear and quickly said to Gu Zheng.
"Let's go!"
Gu Zheng looked at the group of elite soldiers. After these days of recuperation, everyone was full of energy.
This was almost all the combat power of everyone, including hundreds of Celestial Immortals. If this force was placed in Lan Country, it could sweep through all the countries. Even here, it was a tyrannical force. At least, no one dared to underestimate it.
Everyone immediately followed Gu Zheng outside. Soon, the group of people also left this place.
Ren Jie looked at the dense crowd behind him. It was much emptier than before. One-third of the people had already left. He couldn't stay idle. He had to do something within his power. This way, it would save him a lot of trouble when he reached the other side.
.....
Gu Zheng asked Xia Qi some things as he walked outside.
Just after leaving the island, two figures rushed out from the crowd behind and quickly came to Gu Zheng's side.
"Master!"
This time, as Gu Zheng's two disciples, they naturally had to follow by his side.
"You guys are going to have fun this time. Don't make trouble for me. When the time comes, I will let you guys compete. Whoever loses will be punished." Gu Zheng said to Hai Ming and Ren Ling.
He had already heard from Xia Qi that there were female elites in the army who had entered the top ten thousand. They were in the kitchen and on the battlefield. Truly, women were not inferior to men.
Xia Qi had already made the decision to give Hai Ming ten thousand men to lead. It just so happened that each of them had about the same number of men, so Hai Ming would lead the rest.
"Don't worry! I will definitely win, but aren't we in a hurry? Won't the competition in the middle be a waste of time? " Hai Ming said immediately when he heard this. He pretended not to see Ren Ling rolling her eyes, but he asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans." Gu Zheng chuckled and smiled at them without saying anything.
However, it made the two guys tremble in their hearts. When they thought of the tragic end they suffered after seeing this smile last time, they felt a little sad for these people. They hoped that they would not be played too badly.
Of course, they didn't know that. They only knew that they had to follow the ancestor god and rush back to their station from the land. Accompanying the ancestor god was a great honor. Everyone was in high fighting spirit.
After such a group of people all left the island, they rushed to the distance along the established route. Their speed was not like ordinary people, but they continued to run east along the sea.
"Rumble!"
Chaotic footsteps sounded on the ground, making Gu Zheng frown.
Although the formation was very neat, once they moved, it became a mess.
However, this was basically the case here. Even outside, it was the same. Gu Zheng suppressed the displeasure in his heart. He just wanted to use this opportunity to temper them. Although he couldn't provide any guidance or other methods for their cultivation, he could still improve their combat strength a little. Gu Zheng was a bit annoyed.
Just like what they learned in the future, let them learn to be a whole.
This way, they could maximize their combat effectiveness.
They were all the elites now, and the most important battles were completed by them. They also sacrificed the most.
This time, Gu Zheng wanted to build them into an invincible army, and not just a bunch of bandits like in the past.
No matter what was needed to train the soldiers? Of course, it required a lot of resources, and the consumption was not ordinary. The resources given by the higher-ups were barely enough to survive, and the soldiers would starve to death.
Most of the ancestor gods didn't ask about it, which led to such a situation.
Gu Zheng couldn't understand why the ancestor gods didn't give any feedback on the missions they completed.
However, Gu Zheng really didn't lack anything, so he had a plan to start.
The speed of this group of people was naturally incomparable to ordinary people. A day's journey was equivalent to five days of walking, and their endurance was even longer. After running for a full day, they showed signs of fatigue.
However, Gu Zheng still didn't tell them to stop. He wanted to know what their limits were in a situation where they weren't prepared at all.
However, there were still some strong people. This bit of distance was nothing to them.
Gu Zheng knew everyone's situation at a glance. At the same cultivation level, the people from the west had better endurance and endurance than the people from the south.
This time, they ran for two days straight before Gu Zheng gave the order to rest.
But by this time, half of them had fainted from exhaustion. After all, they were rushing without food or water. Even if their physiques were far superior to ordinary people, they still couldn't take it.
However, Gu Zheng didn't make them faint. Instead, he made them fly in the air and follow behind in rows.
When everyone was resting, they were thrown to the ground. Tens of thousands of people fell from the sky. It was a shocking scene.
And with this jolt, those who had fainted woke up. Most of them chose to lie on the ground and continue resting. Only a small number of them barely sat up. Even though their bodies were sore, no one complained.
After all, Gu Zheng was watching them from above.
Could they blame the Ancestor God for making them travel for too long? They wouldn't dare do that no matter how bold they were?
Gu Zheng already had a plan in mind. He landed and constantly gave instructions to Xia Qi.
Soon, some of them were pulled out by Xia Qi. There were a total of two thousand people. Under everyone's envious gazes, a lot of rations appeared in front of them.
At that moment, they were famished and missed the food in the village. Even the rations in front of them weren't bad. At the very least, they could appease their constantly protesting stomachs.
These people thought that their performance had been praised by the Ancestor God. They quickly ate in gratitude and soon filled their stomachs.
At that moment, Gu Zheng came down from the sky and walked in front of them. They thought they were going to be rewarded, but when they heard Gu Zheng's words, they were stunned.
"Since all of you are full, you will be responsible for cooking for the others." At the same time, many sumptuous ingredients appeared beside them. There were also handy tools.
Only then did they realize that this wasn't a reward, but a punishment.
They could only start tidying up. Soon, everyone was eating a hot and sumptuous meal. As for those who were pulled out, they could only watch helplessly as their companions ate and drink. They felt depressed.
When the people below finished eating, Gu Zheng shouted from the sky.
"From today onwards, everyone who I think has not performed well will have to go through this. If I don't think anyone has performed well, then everyone will have to eat rations. Whether you want to eat delicacies or dry rations that are hard to swallow, it's all up to you."
Only then did everyone understand that the Ancestor God seemed to want to train them.
However, when they saw their companions still standing alone, they all thought to themselves that they wouldn't eat the unpalatable rations.
It was easy to go from simplicity to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
After being in Xifeng Village for so many days, their appetites had been whetted. There was no way they would eat the rations.
After Gu Zheng saw that everyone understood, he ordered them to set up camp and cultivate. As for himself, he brought Xia Qi and Hai Ming to the side.
"Master, why are you being so secretive?" Hai Ming asked curiously.
These two days were nothing out of the ordinary for them. After all, for Celestial Immortals, their bodies were already different from mortals from the inside out. There was no need for such a method.
"There's nothing mysterious about it. When they cook in the future, you can add these things to them. Just put a drop in it." Gu Zheng took out hundreds of bottles and jars and piled them on the ground.
"What's this?" Hai Ming quickly took out one of the bottles and opened the cork. A fragrant but indescribable smell came out of the bottle.
"This can only strengthen the recovery ability of the other party's body and strengthen the physical strength. For you, it's useless. Don't drink it." Seeing that Hai Ming was about to pour it into his mouth, Gu Zheng said angrily.
"It doesn't taste very good." Even so, Hai Ming curiously drank a bottle and smacked his lips.
"Master didn't let you drink it. Be careful that master doesn't like you and drives you away!" Ren Ling saw this scene and was afraid that Gu Zheng would rise up. She quickly said.
"Hehe, it's okay. Master won't be so stingy. Besides, a master for a day is a father for life. We're all family. Don't be so polite." Hai Ming said embarrassedly. He secretly glanced at Gu Zheng, but still put the bottle down.
Gu Zheng wasn't angry at Hai Ming at all. In fact, he was quite good at heart.
After glaring at him, he continued to say.
"You wait for a while and gather those Celestial Immortals. Take care of them. If anyone is injured or something is wrong, immediately rescue them." Gu Zheng took out more than a dozen small bottles, which were filled with precious elixirs for them.
"No way. Could it be that someone is injured?" Xia Qi said in surprise.
"Not now, but maybe in the future. As long as they don't die, I can repair everything, so don't worry." Gu Zheng smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth.
However, in the eyes of the three of them, it was as if they saw a devil's smile. Only then did they remember Gu Zheng's powerful healing ability. In their hearts, they were thinking about whether those soldiers were lucky or regretful.
Early the next morning, everyone started to go on the road again. At this time, these soldiers finally knew what was uncomfortable.
In the first few days, Gu Zheng put forward a very confusing order. All of them had to run in the same order. They had to hear only one sound, that was, only one footstep at a time.
This was not walking, but running directly to change.
Such a strange order made all of them very uncomfortable. The whole earth was like a crazy migrating animal attacking. All kinds of sounds were in a mess. Some people even bumped into each other.
And if they did not satisfy Gu Zheng, everyone would only have one meal. It was up to them to eat dry rations or a sumptuous meal.
In the end, on the first day, 90% of them ate dry rations. The only comfort was that there was a big pot of fragrant and thick meat soup. Even so, they were still envious of the 10%.
Each of them could only have one bowl, but the other side could eat it without any scruples. It was even given to them personally.
On the second day, the situation was much better. Many people had deliberately joined together and improved together. Because on the first day, someone had set an example.
As a result, more than half of the people ate piping hot food that day.
On the third day, everyone was the same. In the beginning, there were still a few different sounds. Later on, when they realized that this wasn't working, they decided to work together. Finally, during the next break, there was only one sound every time the tens of thousands of people took a step. Every time they landed, it was as if there was a huge drum shaking the world, causing everyone's blood to boil.
This time, everyone was in high spirits and ate a sumptuous meal.
However, when Gu Zheng saw all of this, he coldly smiled and told them about his plan. This caused Xia Qi's heart to tremble in fear, and he silently mourned for the soldiers below. At the same time, he was incomparably shocked and impressed by Gu Zheng's plan.
This was not only to train them, but also to let them constantly have a tacit understanding. It was to eliminate the last gap between them at the root.
On the second day, they were mentally prepared. The Ancestor God probably had more to do than that. There was probably more waiting for them.
Indeed, not long after they set off together, dozens of figures rose into the sky. They were holding different things in their hands. Furthermore, they were smeared with some white powder, which made them confused.
But soon, they knew that an overwhelming number of things came crashing down from the sky. They knew their limits and were definitely fast enough for the people below to dodge in time. Even if they could not dodge, there would only be blood clots.
This caused the camp below to be in chaos. Once again, it was a messy formation.
During the rest, those with white dots on their bodies would starve. Most of the others would eat dry rations.
Since then, a series of changes began to make the warriors below complain incessantly.
Every time they adapted to a new change, there would be a new way to torture them.
They could not believe that a tree that was dozens of feet tall would come crashing down from the sky. At first, they were scared out of their wits, thinking that they would die midway.
But later, they got used to it. After a month of hellish torture, they could finally dodge in all kinds of environments with tacit understanding. Furthermore, their footsteps would not be disorderly.
What made them even more puzzled was that they had to travel in such a cruel manner every day and only had one meal a day. They thought that they would run out of energy after a few days, but after every rest, the minor injuries on their bodies would heal, and their bodies would become more energetic, as if they had an endless supply of energy.
Gu Zheng was very satisfied with this result. After the day was over, before they rested, Gu Zheng, who had never appeared before, suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
"Ancestor God!"
The warriors below all shouted. Although Gu Zheng had made the journey so difficult for them, there were rumors in private that the Ancestor God had put precious elixirs in the meat soup for them. This allowed everyone to have sufficient energy.
But everyone also knew that the Ancestor God was training them to be stronger for their own good. But what they did not understand was whether this playful nature was useful.
Gu Zheng took a look below and was very satisfied with his results. At least the results of the first step had been completed. It was faster than he had expected.
Gu Zheng stretched out his hand and a row of wooden spears appeared behind him. However, the hairy tips were made into a round shape, like blunt weapons. They could only be used to strike.
Just as everyone was puzzled, the long spears behind Gu Zheng were like arrows, falling down one after another.
"Deng, deng, deng."
Before they could react, all of them landed beside them.
"From today onwards, one-tenth of your group will have their own mysterious mission. Everyone, be careful."
Gu Zheng only left a vague sentence and left the confused warriors behind. Then, he flashed away again.
On the second day, they learned what it meant to pay more attention. This was because during the journey, the teammates beside them would actually stab them with spears. However, since they were prepared in advance, there wasn't much chaos. This was out of Gu Zheng's expectations.
After only one day, Gu Zheng abandoned this idea. Then, he divided the group into three teams. It happened to be the team of Hai Ming and Ren Ling, and the remaining team led by Xia Qi.
Under Gu Zheng's signal, everyone began to move forward and attack each other.
Not only that, but Gu Zheng also added in other strange methods, making them suffer unspeakably. Teammates suddenly betraying them, pincer attacks from two sides, and an ambush from the front.
Just as they adapted to one situation, another situation would appear. They had no time to complain about other things. They could only concentrate on adapting.
But Xia Qi was more and more surprised. He couldn't help but study carefully. When he didn't understand, he even consulted Gu Zheng.
Because under this constant training, the tacit understanding of this group of people, their reaction to danger, and their trust in their teammates were rapidly increasing.
If they had to be compared with before, then Xia Qi was sure that their strength was now more than twice as strong as before.
Every day, they moved along the seaside with wails and howls, making the tribes passing by worried that the other party would find trouble with them.
Until half a year later, they had unknowingly crossed half of the distance. As for the original place of West Feng Island, they had already passed it. Except for Hai Ming taking Ren Ling back and staying there for one more day, their route was still according to Gu Zheng's plan.
If they continued at this speed, they could reach their station in at most a year.
"Now, it's time to give them some fun!" Gu Zheng looked at the energetic warriors below and couldn't help but flash a thought.
