Halfway up the mountain, on a flat open space, there was a large hall. Inside, white light flowed, allowing the hall to have a panoramic view. Gu Zheng and Xing Cai were outside, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
"Why aren't we going in? We've been outside for half a day, "Xing Cai looked at Gu Zheng frowning and pondering about something. After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but ask.
"Someone has been here, but the other party didn't go in," Gu Zheng told her his guess.
"Someone has been here!" Xing Cai looked around. The ground was snow-white, and there were no traces left behind by others. Even in the air, she didn't notice anything wrong.
"Stop looking, the other party didn't leave any traces. It's just that I'm very familiar with the other party's aura, so I can feel it," Gu Zheng said to Xing Cai when he saw her looking around.
Although there was no trace of the other party in the air, Gu Zheng's heart told him directly.
"Could it be that Mo Fei has other secrets? Why did the other party come here before us but didn't leave?" Xing Cai understood Gu Zheng's meaning, but she didn't understand why the other party did this.
"I don't know, but I think the other party must have a reason for doing this. What do you think this place was for in the first place? And why is there such a big snowstorm?" Gu Zheng shook his head. He also didn't know the other party's purpose.
"I don't know, my father didn't tell me. Young Master Gu, we'll do what you say. I'll follow you." Although Xing Cai had traveled outside for many years, her range wasn't very far. She wasn't as rich as Gu Zheng, so it was better to listen to his decision.
"Then let's follow them and see what they're doing. At most, it'll take some time," Gu Zheng pondered for a moment and said.
The two bypassed the transmission array and continued to move towards the top of the mountain.
After half a day, they finally climbed up the mountain, but when they reached the top, they found that it was empty. It was just a flat top.
"Something's not right. It's impossible for there to be nothing. Could my guess be wrong?" Gu Zheng looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky, gradually covering their footprints and muttered to himself in confusion.
"Could it be on the way?" Although Xing Cai did not know what Gu Zheng was looking for, there was nothing at the top of the mountain. Her Spiritual Consciousness could only see snow and ordinary rocks. There was nothing suspicious about this place. Thinking of this, she suddenly opened her mouth and made a guess.
"Yes, that's right. They must be on the way," Gu Zheng immediately said when he heard Xing Cai's guess. It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind.
"Let's go, I know where it is!"
Gu Zheng shouted at Xing Cai, and then went back the way they came.
After going down for a while, they came to a corner. Gu Zheng looked around and said, "It should be here."
At this moment, in front of them was a snow-white wall. It was covered in snow and looked no different from the wall beside it.
"When we came, I vaguely heard a movement. At that time, I thought it was an illusion," Gu Zheng explained to Xing Cai.
Xing Cai's heart skipped a beat, but before she could speak, Gu Zheng raised his palm, and a light flashed on it. Then, with a light sound, the wall in front of them shattered. The rubble fell to the ground, revealing a blue hole. A blue light leaked out from inside. What came into view was a tunnel big enough for one person to walk in.
"I'll go first. You follow behind me," Gu Zheng saw the hole appear and walked in without hesitation and said to Xing Cai behind him.
Xing Cai followed closely behind. After entering, she thought for a moment and raised the orb. A light shot out from the orb and shone on the wall.
With a slight vibration, the hole that had been opened was blocked by the wall again. If it was not opened by force, it would be impossible to find this place.
"I didn't think of it," Gu Zheng looked at Xing Cai with appreciation.
In just a cup of tea's time, the snow outside would cover everything perfectly. No matter how many people were behind them, it would take a lot of effort to find this place.
In this cave, both sides, including the soles of their feet, were covered in blue ice. If they looked carefully, they could see their own shadows reflected in it. Walking on the ice made a slight cracking sound.
This passage was a little slanted downwards, so the two's speed was not fast. Especially when they knew that there were people ahead, they had to hide their figures.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Gu Zheng estimated that he had reached the mountainside, or the transmission array outside. Only then did he discover that another passage had appeared below.
The two walked down from above and looked around. The distance was pitch-black, and there was only a touch of light in the distance.
"So there are so many entrances," Xing Cai said to Gu Zheng through sound transmission.
There were three more passages next to them, emitting a blue light, so that they could not see anything.
"If there's anything, just send me a message. Don't talk and follow me, there's something up ahead!" Gu Zheng made a shushing gesture to Xing Cai and then said through sound transmission.
Xing Cai nodded and followed behind Gu Zheng, tiptoeing forward.
The two walked for about a hundred feet before approaching the light. It turned out that there was another passage here.
Moreover, as they approached, the sound of fighting, the whistling of the wind, and the sound of weapons colliding also rushed into their ears. Obviously, there were people fighting inside.
Gu Zheng moved his head over to take a look. There was a huge space inside. Huge stone pillars propped up the cave, and on the surrounding mountain walls, fist-sized luminous pearls were embedded, illuminating the entire place.
In the very center, there was a jade platform made of white jade. It was only the height of two people, and on top of it was a new transmission array. At this time, it was flashing white light and was in an activated state.
"No wonder no one noticed this place. The fluctuations emitted by the transmission array outside are attracting attention. Plus, it's deep in the mountains, enough to cover everything here," Gu Zheng thought.
He gave Xing Cai behind him a look, then pointed at the stone pillars that the ten people were hugging. The two of them retracted their presence and sneaked over again.
Because next to the transmission array, there were two figures there, and in front of them, there were two puppets blocking in front of them. They were fighting with the puppets guarding this place.
Gu Zheng secretly poked half of his head out and looked at them from the corner of his eyes, afraid that he would attract the other party's attention.
However, the other party's attention was focused on what was in front of them, so they did not pay attention to what was outside. Or rather, they did not expect someone to find this place so quickly, so all their attention was focused on the front.
Gu Zheng saw the blue-robed man with a single glance. There were many different patterns on his body. Flying fishes and beasts were embroidered all over his body. However, his face was indeed that of a very ordinary middle-aged man. It was very unfamiliar.
However, Gu Zheng recognized him at a glance. It was the person he helped the other day, but in the end, he secretly ran away.
Lan Yu!
Now, he had just changed his face. Next to him was an old man with white hair. At this moment, the old man was standing next to him, watching the situation in front of him with full concentration.
The other party should be unspecialized players who rushed in from outside, but he did not expect them to arrive here so quickly.
Gu Zheng thought for a moment, then signaled Xing Cai to continue waiting.
Then, while the other party was not alert, Gu Zheng threw a very ordinary stone from his hand. It landed in the shadow of a stone pillar, and from there, he could clearly see the other party's situation.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and used a strand of his Divine Sense to spy on the other side.
Immediately, the other party's conversation and scene were transmitted to Gu Zheng's mind.
At this moment, he clearly saw the white-haired old man talking to Lan Yu.
"Can you do it? You say you're an expert in puppetry, but you can't even deal with two guards."
"If you want to do it, then go ahead. Do you know how difficult it is to deal with them? Especially their bodies. It's like they have an undying body. No matter how you attack them, you can't damage their core. "Lan Yu said unhappily to the old man.
At this moment, Gu Zheng saw two golden-armored humanoid puppets brandishing halberds and fighting with two guardian puppets in front of them. However, the guardian puppets weren't the same as the ones Gu Zheng encountered outside.
One of them was a humanoid guard covered in stone. It also held a stone spear in its hand. It brandished its spear fiercely, causing gusts of wind to appear. Every time it brandished its spear, it would let out a sharp whistle.
As for the other golden-armored puppet, it would be forced back a step every time it clashed with it. Its entire body flashed with golden light. Although the golden-armored puppet's brandishing speed was slow, its strength was incomparable.
It couldn't block its attacks. However, the golden-armored puppet's thoughts were very rigid. It commanded the golden-armored puppet to chase after the golden-armored puppet, even though Lan Yu wasn't far behind. Perhaps it couldn't tell which one was the enemy.
As for the golden-armored puppet, its halberd sliced at the golden-armored puppet's body. Large chunks of rock fell from the golden-armored puppet's body, as if the hard rock didn't have any effect at all.
However, the golden-armored puppet's body flashed with a yellow light, and the wounds on its body quickly healed as soon as the halberd left its body. It didn't lose any strength at all.
As for the other golden-armored puppet, it was in an even more difficult situation. It was facing a wolf-like puppet, but its body wasn't made of ordinary rock. Instead, it was made of a type of black obsidian.
Not only was this type of rock light, but its defense was also very high. The golden-armored puppet would occasionally hit the golden-armored puppet, but it only left a white mark on the golden-armored puppet's body. On the other hand, if it weren't for Lan Yu's support, the golden-armored puppet would have long since been destroyed.
Of course, it wasn't just the golden-armored puppet. There was another creature that looked like a bat. It was pitch-black and had a pair of wings on its back, but it was at least three meters long.
This monster wasn't a puppet. Its two claws were clasped onto a stone pillar, and it hung upside down from a shadow. A pair of deep blue eyes stared at them, as if they were mortal enemies.
If it weren't for Lan Yu and the others looking in that direction, Gu Zheng wouldn't have noticed it.
Sensing the aura on the golden-armored puppet's body, it was very likely a Goblin that had been left here for some reason.
And it was the golden-armored puppet that made the two of them hesitate to attack.
It was as if if they attacked, the Goblin would charge at them. As a result, they could only use the golden-armored puppet to block the golden-armored puppet. If they really wanted to attack, they would have finished it off long ago.
After all, a golden-armored puppet was a golden-armored puppet. If they were evenly matched, they definitely wouldn't be able to beat anyone.
"Cough cough, I say, Brother Yao, we're not here to cause trouble for Lord Black Dragon. In fact, we rely on Lord Black Dragon a lot. This time, there are many people with bad intentions who want to take advantage of this opportunity to rob us. Of course, we won't let them do that, so we're here to help." Lan Yu coughed. He felt like this wasn't a good idea, so he spoke to the bat above.
Unfortunately, his words were like playing the lute to a cow. The Goblin above was still the same. Its eyes didn't even move.
"I've already told you, the golden-armored puppet is long gone. It's very likely that it was lucky enough to survive the previous battle. You should know, this is the first line of defense. It's already a miracle that it survived." The white-haired old man said to Lan Yu.
"What if it's just pretending to be deaf and dumb?" Lan Yu said in disbelief.
"So what? If it doesn't move aside, then don't blame us for being impolite." The white-haired old man seemed to be leaning towards fighting with the golden-armored puppet. His words weren't polite at all.
As soon as his voice fell, the bat demon above seemed to feel a trace of threat from the other party. A blue light flashed in its eyes, and the sharp claws under its body released the stone pillar. Its body fell freely to the ground. In mid-air, a pair of obviously long and narrow wings suddenly opened, supporting the falling body, and rushed toward the old man at top speed.
"Shua"
The golden-armored puppet moved from stillness to movement in an instant. It arrived in front of the white-haired old man like lightning, and its sharp claws viciously clawed at his chest.
Although it was very fast, the white-haired old man was actually on guard against it. When it came down, a layer of white light appeared on his body. By the time the golden-armored puppet's claws arrived in front of him, a pure white soft armor appeared on his body. Layers upon layers of fine, cobweb-like white silk were stacked on top of each other, emitting a bright light.
"Zizi"
Following a string of sparks, a teeth-numbing friction sound echoed in the air. That pair of sharp claws clawed at the white-haired old man's body, only causing the white light to tremble chaotically. However, it didn't tear apart the white light as it wanted. Even that huge force was dissolved under the rapid trembling of the white soft armor. It didn't cause any damage to the white-haired old man.
As the bat moved forward, it passed by the old man in the blink of an eye. It clearly saw that the old man wasn't injured. Its eyes flashed with an ominous glint, and its body tilted slightly. Its sharp wings instantly slashed the old man's shoulder.
"Pu"
A piece of flesh and a piece of soft armor flew into the air. If it wasn't for the white-haired old man's vigilance, when the old man saw that something was wrong, his body would have dropped slightly, and a small part of his shoulder would have disappeared.
"Bastard!"
The white-haired old man was alarmed and anxious. A short sword suddenly appeared in his uninjured hand, and he stabbed it towards the bat that wanted to fly away. A dense white light flickered on the tip of the sword, emitting a bone-chilling cold.
"Zizi"
The bat abruptly turned its head, and the blue light in its eyes shone brightly. Streams of visible black air blasted out from its mouth, and in the blink of an eye, the air blasted past the white-haired old man's head.
The white-haired old man's mind immediately went blank. As the world spun, he seemed to see the bat rushing towards him from another direction. He hurriedly raised his sword and stabbed it.
"Careful!"
On the other side, Lan Yu was still smiling as she looked at the old man. She didn't think that so many things would happen in the blink of an eye, but it was already too late to stop it. The direction the white-haired old man was blocking was empty, and the bat folded its wings, and heavily smashed into the white-haired old man's chest like a cannonball.
"Peng" a muffled sound rang out.
As the white light blossomed, the white-haired old man's body was immediately sent flying through the air, and heavily smashed into the stone wall to the side. His entire body was embedded in it.
Just as the bat was about to continue its attack, Lan Yu patted her clothes. The place where she patted suddenly lit up, and the bird on her clothes strangely twisted a few times, then struggled free from her clothes, and turned into a white light that shot into the sky. A kite the same size as the bat blocked the path of the bat, flapping its wings, and a pair of sharp white eyes staring at the bat.
The bat looked, and a thin black light flashed in the air, and immediately turned into a black line that shot towards the kite.
Facing such an attack, the kite's body lit up, and it didn't meet the opponent head on. Instead, it attacked the bat from the side.
On the other side, the white-haired old man struggled out of the wall, and unhappily said as he looked at the kite tangled with the bat in the distance.
"Hurry up and deal with the opponent. Do you really want to be discovered by everyone here?"
"It looks like you're not injured. I'll deal with the puppet, and you deal with this guy." Lan Yu sized him up, then rolled her eyes and immediately suggested.
"That's a good idea. If it weren't for your itch to provoke them, we would've left long ago. Right now, the teleportation formation is still sealed, and we can't leave even if we want to." The old man flew over and unhappily said.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng looked towards the teleportation formation, and only then did he discover a black light slowly flowing at the edge.
From the aura, although it wouldn't destroy the teleportation formation, it would interfere with the teleportation. Who knows where you'll be exiled to?
No wonder the two of them kept tangling with each other and didn't directly leave. It turned out that the bat had placed a seal on them.
Thinking up to here, Gu Zheng thought for a moment, and decided to go forward. If the other side destroyed this place, then it would be disastrous.
"Alright, alright, I know I was wrong. When we find the place, I'll let you pick a treasure first, then your heart … Mm, who are you people?" On this side, Lan Yu was talking to the white-haired old man when she suddenly saw two figures walking over from afar, and suddenly shouted.
However, as she spoke, two more birds flew out from her clothes. The kite was almost unable to hold on.
The white-haired old man had already tightened his grip on his short sword, and vigilantly looked towards Gu Zheng. The other side was so close, and they didn't even notice. If they really took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, then wouldn't that be …
Thinking up to here, cold sweat dripped down the white-haired old man's forehead. They were too careless, and actually didn't set up a defense outside.
"Last time, you left without saying goodbye. This time, you want to meet my blade face?"
As the figure in front approached, they also saw Gu Zheng and Xing Cai.
"It's you!"
A surprised voice mixed with a trace of embarrassment came from Lan Yu's mouth.
