Gu Zheng watched as the others took action. Even though he was the weakest among them, they had taken great pains to protect him. It seemed that his cultivation was sometimes overlooked by others.
He had been stuck at this level for a long time, but there was nothing suitable for him here. He was helpless. Being stuck at this level reduced his combat strength by 20%, but there was nothing he could do.
If it was a misunderstanding, then so be it. Anyway, there was nothing dangerous right now.
Besides, he was usually alone. Suddenly, there were a few powerful guys protecting him. He felt a little happy. He didn't have to do anything, and there were people to take care of it for him.
The alder tree was already fighting the lizard. One big and one small figure was constantly flying up and down in this small cave.
Some of the lava was affected and splashed out from below, causing small holes to appear in the surroundings.
Although the lizard knew that it was not his opponent, the alder tree still needed some time to deal with it with his bare hands. It might even be injured.
"Bang bang" sounds were constantly heard, mixed with the lizard's dying wails behind him. It made Gu Zheng's ears a little noisy, but he still looked at the alder tree in front of him. His body was surrounded by red light, and fist shadows kept appearing in the air, one after another, hitting the lizard's body.
The lizard was not inferior to the alder tree in terms of resistance. Its body was very agile, and it dodged most of the attacks. Its huge mouth flashed with cold light, and its sharp teeth constantly moved towards the alder tree, wanting to bite off a piece of its flesh.
However, every time it approached, the alder tree found an opportunity to hit its body heavily. The tough scales on its body were smashed with cracks, and drops of blood appeared on them.
It spat out flames to burn the alder tree, but every time it spat out flames, it was blocked by a red light shield. It did not cause any damage to the alder tree.
Not long after, the lizard was covered in wounds. Many of the scales on its body were broken, but the alder tree was still in high spirits. Besides being hit a few times by the lizard, there were no other injuries on its body.
At this time, the lizard had already begun to move, but the alder tree did not let it go. It chased after the lizard and hit it everywhere. It seemed that it had to be beaten to death.
Seeing that his subordinates had all been killed, and none of them had rushed over. They had all been killed by that strange creature. This made him decide to politely escape from this place. If he didn't run, he would really lose his life here.
When Gu Zheng saw this, he no longer wanted to pay attention. It was impossible for the lizard to make a comeback.
However, this place seemed to have come to an end. Could it be that the feeling in his heart was that this flower was not really that precious? This thing was only useful to fire-attributed demonic beasts.
However, there were so many lizards guarding the way, and one of them was so powerful. If it was someone slightly weaker, they wouldn't be able to defeat it.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng started to explore the surroundings, trying to find something different. Qing Xuan seemed to have forgotten to protect Gu Zheng and was instead attracted by the battle in front of her.
His eyes flickered as if he was fighting with his opponent.
On this side, the alder tree once again threw a punch at the lizard. However, this time, the lizard did not dodge. It directly used one of the few intact scales to resist the attack.
Accompanied by the splattering of blood, the lizard directly lost control of its body and escaped towards the magma below. Borrowing the huge impact, it splashed into the magma below and disappeared.
"Trying to run? No way! " When the alder tree saw the lizard's reaction, he immediately understood the lizard's intention. A layer of red light appeared on his body and he chased after the lizard.
The magma below soon began to boil. It was obvious that there was a new battle below.
"Splash!"
The alder tree dragged the dead lizard out from the magma below and said excitedly.
"That bastard almost succeeded in escaping, but I was quick enough to catch him."
However, he took a glance and his expression changed. He shouted to Qing Xuan below.
"Where is Young Master Gu? Didn't I ask you to look after him? "
"Isn't he here?" Qing Xuan subconsciously said to the side. However, she was shocked to find that Gu Zheng's figure had disappeared from where he was just a moment ago.
"No, I clearly saw him here just now. He seemed to be looking at the wall as if he was looking for something. How did he disappear in the blink of an eye?" Qing Xuan said anxiously because there was no danger. Moreover, she was still looking at him from the corner of her eyes. If something really happened, Qing Xuan was sure that she would be able to detect it immediately. However, he really disappeared under her eyes.
"When you just came up, I seemed to have seen a flash of light. Perhaps Young Master Gu found something and was teleported away." Man Tian quickly raised his arm and said.
"Then what are you still talking about? Everyone, hurry up and find him!" The alder tree said unhappily. His good mood from killing the lizard was also gone.
Putting aside the fact that they started to search, Gu Zheng found himself in a new place after a blur in front of his eyes.
When he looked around, he suddenly realized that there were some runes hidden on the wall. He looked carefully at a group of runes and finally gathered at a corner. He was curious and gently tapped on it. As a result, it was as if he had opened some kind of mechanism. Before he could react, he had already appeared in an unfamiliar place.
At this time, it was pitch black. Even with Gu Zheng's eyesight, he could only see his surroundings clearly. However, he was in a passageway that only allowed one person to pass through. Not far behind him was a wall. There was only one passageway.
Holding his breath, Gu Zheng withdrew his aura and tiptoed forward. He was like a drifting ghost, not making a single sound.
This place was hidden so deep. There might be something. It seemed that the lizard outside was really just to numb the people outside.
Gu Zheng quietly walked here for a full 15 minutes before he saw a ray of light in front of him. At the same time, he vaguely heard some sounds coming from the front.
Gu Zheng slightly quickened his pace. When he was about to reach the limit of the light, he stopped.
After adapting a little, Gu Zheng saw that the passageway in front of him had suddenly expanded and appeared in a relatively wide area. Not far away, two people who looked like guards were sitting next to a simple stone table. Behind them was a huge prison cell with huge black fences erected outside. Countless black lightning bolts were jumping back and forth. He could vaguely see a few shadows being imprisoned inside.
"How long do you think these people are going to hold on for? Why didn't Sir kill them? Why waste so much time trying to wear down their willpower bit by bit?" One of the armored men said. Although he was sitting there and talking, he was actually holding his weapon tightly. At the same time, he was paying attention to the only passageway in here. He was especially vigilant.
"Do you think I know the answer to this question? But we just need to stay here obediently. After a few hundred years, these people won't be able to hold on anymore. At that time, we can go back. " The other person was not as nervous as him. He was wearing ordinary clothes and his tone was very relaxed.
"That's true. Forget it, forget it. This time it's my turn to be on duty. You can finally rest for ten years. Should I go up and take a look? Last time, someone came here again. Will there be any moths?" The armored guard stood up and said. The spear in his hand was held in the most appropriate place.
"Up to you. After all, you're on duty. But this place has been abandoned for so many years. It's really strange that people would come and take a look from time to time. You have to be careful. Who do you think raised a Fire Lotus here and put those beasts here? They're simply causing trouble for us." The other person complained.
Gu Zheng realized that he was wrong. The lizard was placed here by someone else. Thinking about it carefully, if a group of lizards were released here, it would attract too much attention.
It was just that they were placed at the entrance. However, they did not dare to kill the lizards for fear of attracting the attention of the lizard's owner.
The soldiers were already walking towards the only passageway. It seemed that the way out was also here.
"Bang!"
As soon as the soldier stepped into the passageway, Gu Zheng had already made the first move and rushed forward. He punched the soldier's defenseless head. Because the soldier was covered in armor, only his head was not protected.
"Who is it!"
However, the soldier's reaction was also very fast. When Gu Zheng's body moved, he had already realized that something was wrong. He picked up the weapon in his hand and stabbed it in front of him. In the narrow space, there were illusions of weapons everywhere, blocking the path in front of the soldier seamlessly, basically eliminating the attack in front of him.
Gu Zheng saw that the opponent's reaction was calm. There was no panic at all, and there was no flaw at all. Especially in a situation where there was only one passageway, Gu Zheng could not go around to the back. He could only see the opponent's movements and then punch the body of the opponent's spear.
The huge impact directly sent the soldier flying back. However, it did not cause any harm to the opponent. Gu Zheng also successfully walked out of the passageway. If the opponent had really blocked him in, there would be no room to maneuver.
"If it's possible, can I retreat and pretend that I didn't find this place?" Gu Zheng looked at the two people who were staring at him covetously and said helplessly.
"Who are you? How dare you barge in here." The two people here looked at each other. The leisurely man from before said calmly. At the same time, he had already taken out his weapon.
The other soldier had already fastened his helmet. After a flash of golden light, his whole body had become like an iron wall. Even his eyes were closed. Gu Zheng could not help but look at him a few more times.
The soldier's armour was probably designed to block this passageway. The constantly flashing light on the surface of the armour showed that its defence was astonishing. In addition, Jin Xian was at the peak of his cultivation base. In this passageway that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, it was truly one man against ten thousand.
"I just received a mission from the South City to investigate this place. In the end, I was almost killed by the lizards above. I don't know how I ended up here," Gu Zheng said sincerely without blushing or skipping a beat.
At the same time, his eyes quickly sized up this place. Unfortunately, this space was not big. The cage inside had already taken up half of the space.
"I see. However, it's a pity that your mission is going to fail," the leisurely man smiled at Gu Zheng. He swung the sword in his hand and charged forward.
Looking at the murderous look on his face, it seemed that he wanted to get rid of Gu Zheng here.
"You dare kill me? Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the higher-ups?" Gu Zheng said, pretending to be shocked.
"Kill you? I'm not that stupid. However, I can still beat you until you're crippled and erase your memories. " The leisurely man displayed a sky full of sword light, enveloping Gu Zheng's entire body. After hearing Gu Zheng's words, he said sinisterly.
"Ding dang!"
Gu Zheng also casually pulled out a sword and fought with the other party. However, he deliberately suppressed himself, making himself look more miserable. Most of the time, he was resisting with difficulty.
On the other hand, the soldier on the other side thought that Gu Zheng was just an ordinary Jin Xian late stage cultivator who could not even defeat the beast above. He did not care at all. He only stood guard at the back, preventing Gu Zheng from jumping over the wall and rushing inside.
As for the prisoners inside, they had already woken up when they saw the commotion. Near the bars, they looked outside excitedly. One of them even frowned and stared at Gu Zheng, as if trying to discern something.
"Let me tell you, you've successfully angered me. I'll fight it out with you. You won't be able to escape." Gu Zheng suddenly used a move to force his way out, then rushed outside and shouted loudly.
"Hehe, don't worry. After dealing with you, we'll change places again. We've moved more than once." The person on the other side did not care about Gu Zheng's threat at all and wanted to rush forward again.
In the end, just as his body rose into the air, he discovered a small shadow rushing out from the tunnel. In the blink of an eye, an incomparably huge puppet appeared in front of him, directly punching at him with a fist even bigger than his.
The leisurely man was shocked. He did not expect that there would be people behind him. He hurriedly blocked with his weapon in front of him. The huge fist directly dented the weapon and hit his chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood in the air and fall back.
When the soldier on the other side saw the puppet jump out, he thought that it was Gu Zheng controlling it. Just as he was about to rush forward, he immediately stopped.
Because in the tunnel, three people walked out in a row, each of their auras not weaker than theirs.
In the blink of an eye, it was now their turn to be surrounded.
"Young Master Gu, are you alright?" Qing Xuan quickly came to Gu Zheng's side and asked.
"I'm fine. If it wasn't for the fact that I wanted to know something, I would have dealt with it long ago. The speed of your pursuit was still a little too fast." Gu Zheng indicated that he was fine and complained to them instead. This made Qing Xuan's face stiffen, and she did not know what to say.
On the other side, Man Tian had already controlled his puppet doll and retreated. Because it was really difficult to use it in this narrow room, he simply blocked the only exit.
Now, it was the other side's turn to become a bird in a cage.
"Hehe, now you won't be able to escape. Hurry up and tell me your purpose so that you won't suffer." Gu Zheng laughed and pretended to be arrogant.
"Bullsh * t, do you think we're afraid of you?" The fully armored soldier on the other side snorted coldly, lowered his body, and rushed over with heavy steps.
He actually wanted to fight against so many people by himself.
"Leave it to me. It just so happens that I haven't had my fill just now. It's great to have a fight. I'd like to see how hard your tortoise shell is to be so arrogant." Alder laughed wildly and tore off the animal skin on his upper body. Then, he bared his chest and rushed over.
As soon as he moved, Man Tian took out a small rabbit doll from his arms. The material was the same as the human-shaped puppet. He stroked it with one hand and the rabbit's eyes immediately turned red. Its entire body inflated like a balloon, and it was about the same as a normal person. A dagger suddenly appeared in its hand, and it rushed towards the leisurely man.
"You go and help Man Tian too. I'll be fine." In order to subdue them as soon as possible, Gu Zheng asked Qing Xuan to go with him.
Qing Xuan did not decline. She nodded and rushed towards the leisurely man. After all, with her strength, it was indeed a little insufficient for her to deal with that iron bucket like warrior. After all, in terms of strength, she was definitely not as strong as Alder.
There was a layer of protection around the small cave. No matter what wave hit it, it would be completely absorbed. At least there was no need to worry about it collapsing.
On the other hand, Gu Zheng took a detour and walked towards the railing inside. He did not see how the battle was going. It was three against two. If they still lost, it would be a disgrace to their status.
After arriving here, Gu Zheng felt a familiar feeling in his heart. That feeling came from one of the imprisoned people.
"Friend, be careful. This Black Ghost Flash is very powerful. Be careful not to get hurt." When Gu Zheng approached, one of the younger-looking people suddenly spoke.
He had delicate features and was dressed in a blue robe. There was a rhinocero-like ornament hanging on his waist. His head was simply tied up with a blue cloth.
Although his complexion didn't look very good, the blue clarity in his eyes was like a starry sky, making people feel very comfortable looking at him.
After looking at him, Gu Zheng looked at the other four people. It was obvious that the other four people treated him as the center. Even now, the vigilance in their eyes was clear.
"Are you talking about this?" Gu Zheng pointed at the black lightning that was constantly jumping on the railing. He did not feel much power from it.
"Yes. Don't be fooled by its appearance. It goes deep into the soul. It can destroy half of a Jin Xian's soul. Moreover, it is very powerful. If you are not prepared, it is very easy to die. It is better to be careful." The man smiled bitterly.
Four late-stage Jin Xian. One Jin Xian was subdued. He did not have many injuries on his body. He was just trapped by the railing and could not break out. It was clear how overbearing he was.
Gu Zheng looked at the defense thoughtfully. He did not expect the unassuming black lightning to be so powerful. He immediately pulled back his hand, which was about to test it out.
"Friend, I feel a familiar aura on your body. If I am not wrong, you should know Xing Cai!" The man hesitated for a moment. He could not help but say it.
From the moment he appeared here, he felt that aura. He and the owner of that aura had been together for many years. It was impossible for him to be wrong.
