After a quarter of an hour, the light on Gu Zheng's body dissipated, and he let out a sigh of relief.
However, after reaching that place, the walls on both sides gradually shrank, and they also came to the end. The wall at the end of the tunnel was smooth and clean, as if it was specially cut like this.
In front of Gu Zheng, a dark cave entrance appeared in front of him, and a layer of black light rippled on top of it like water waves, making it impossible to know what was below.
"She is below, quickly save her." At this time, the kitten spoke again, making Gu Zheng's eyebrows jump.
"Little Ying is in danger!"
Because before she said that she would find him, obviously as long as he went down, he would be able to find her, and then think of a way to come out, but at this time, the kitten said that Little Ying seemed to be in some kind of danger, otherwise, he would not need to save her.
"If you need any help, tell me in advance, don't be like before, if I have an accident, not only will Little Ying not come out, you will also not be able to go home." Gu Zheng remembered what happened before, and said snappily.
The kitten tilted its head and looked at Gu Zheng, and then nodded, as if it really heard him.
Gu Zheng did not know who this kitten was, and he secretly checked it, but he could not see through its cultivation, and even its original body was not a cat demon, he was sure of this.
This appearance was just the other party's illusion.
But usually, it was impossible to see how powerful it was, but at the critical moment, it could have a good spell, it was really amazing.
Gu Zheng's body emitted a layer of yellow light, and then he jumped down.
As soon as Gu Zheng jumped down, his body was immediately hit by a huge force, making him almost unable to stand.
Looking carefully, he was actually in a passage, and there were violent waves everywhere, as if he was moving in the sea, but the force was incomparably violent, and it passed through a layer of protective screen around him, which seemed to be protecting Gu Zheng, and the aftermath still hurt Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng's figure was still moving forward rapidly. He didn't know if he was falling or moving horizontally. He only heard the sound of waves crashing into each other. The deafening sound made the whole passage rumble.
However, the impact on Gu Zheng from the moment he came in was quite big. After he was prepared, he was unable to do anything to Gu Zheng. The impact seemed to be huge, but in reality, under the protection of the shield, the impact was very small.
Gu Zheng looked around. Just as he was about to investigate his surroundings, a white light suddenly appeared in front of him. A suction force came from the front. Before Gu Zheng could figure out what was going on, he was sucked in again.
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard.
Gu Zheng felt himself falling from the sky and smashing into the ground. Only then did he regain control of his body.
"Cough, cough!"
Gu Zheng crawled up from the ground and looked at the big hole he created. He looked up and saw that he had already flown out of the tunnel. He didn't leave any traces in the air. He couldn't even go back the way he came.
At this moment, he was still in a cave. It was similar to the long sword he came in. The only difference was that there were many huge statues around him. There were humans, Goblin, and some very scary demon statues.
They stood in this spacious cave. However, most of them were damaged.
"There's another hole here. Who came in?" Gu Zheng saw that there was a human-shaped hole below him. Not far away, there was another hole. It seemed like someone came down from it.
From the imprint on the hole, it wasn't created by Xiao Ying's body. It was at least an adult.
"Where should I go?" At this moment, the area around a thousand meters away was pitch-black. He couldn't see clearly. Gu Zheng asked the small cat in a deep voice.
"Keep going straight. I can sense that Little Ying is not too far ahead." Little Cat raised a cat paw, and a sharp paw extended from it, and pointed in front of them.
Gu Zheng heard it and ran inside again. However, he had to be more careful this time. He didn't know where he was. Of course, the most likely place was in the Holy Ground. After all, this was the only place in the vicinity.
This place was much wider than the previous place. However, after advancing for a short distance, he saw an even bigger building complex. If the previous place was a family, then this place was like a city.
It was like an underground palace. There were layers of life. The last one was like a mountain. It was surrounded by existences.
However, no matter how majestic it was, it was inevitable that it would be damaged. Many of them had collapsed. However, the quality of the palace here was much better than the outside. At least, none of them were completely destroyed.
Gu Zheng walked straight in from the extremely large door. Under Kitten's guidance, he began to make turns. Because all the places here were connected by black corridors, it was like a maze. It was very easy for people to get dizzy from going around.
Moreover, he noticed that many things in the palace were missing. There were even traces of them being rummaged through. It seemed that the Blue Medicine Sect had been here a long time ago.
Gu Zheng didn't find this strange. On the contrary, he was a bit relieved. At least he wasn't teleported to some random place.
Gu Zheng continued to walk along the road. He quickly passed by the outer hall. Soon, he reached a large door and began to slowly climb up.
However, when the small cat arrived here, she seemed to feel that something was wrong. Because the direction she pointed was similar to the path Xiao Ying took. However, it was a dead end. Gu Zheng had no choice but to go around it again. He even had to manually break the simple roadblocks in front of him.
Just as he was slowly climbing up, Gu Zheng's figure suddenly stopped and flew towards a large hall.
This place was also empty. However, in the corner of this hall, there was a man who had been dead for god knows how many years. All that was left was a pile of bones.
However, among the bones, there was a Blue Medicine Sect badge. It had been there for god knows how long, but it was still in good condition.
It seemed that the Blue Medicine Sect had encountered many dangers when they first explored this place.
Gu Zheng sighed and silently retreated. He continued to move forward.
However, when he climbed halfway up the mountain, Gu Zheng's figure stopped again. At this time, there was a huge arched door. It was the only entrance to go up.
At this time, there was a huge square in front of him. In the middle was a huge pool. Looking at it now, the water was clearly visible. It was obviously running water.
What caught Gu Zheng's attention the most was a small round table in the middle. A small handkerchief was floating in the air. Its orange color deeply stimulated Gu Zheng's heart.
That was the headscarf Xiao Ying usually wore. Beside it, there were some fresh traces of a fight. Now it seemed that Xiao Ying had been taken away. Otherwise, she wouldn't have left this behind.
Gu Zheng was about to go forward and take back Xiao Ying's headscarf when suddenly, a low cry came from the side.
"Young Master Gu, don't go!"
Gu Zheng's eyes instantly looked over. At the same time, his body tensed up. He was ready to fight.
A familiar figure appeared in front of Gu Zheng's eyes.
He saw Elder Qi behind a pillar on the opposite side. Only half of his face could be seen. He anxiously shouted at Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng glanced in front of him. He didn't find any danger. Moreover, he still had many things to ask Elder Qi. His whole body immediately swept over.
It seemed that the big pit from before was left by him. It matched very well.
"What's going on? Why did Xiao Ying come here for no reason?" Gu Zheng arrived at the place where Elder Qi was hiding and asked rudely.
"Actually, I don't know either. You also know that I'm an alchemist. I also like Little Ying. Two days ago, I took her outside and fed her the Soul Heart Pill. You should have heard about it. You don't need me to explain it, right?" Speaking until here, Elder Qi suddenly remembered something and quickly asked.
"Of course I know. And then?" Gu Zheng nodded and urged.
The Soul Heart Pill was the best medicine for Jin Xian's damaged Spirit. It was also very rare. Even if there were no problems, the first time one took it, it could strengthen one's Spirit. In short, there were no side effects. This was the biggest advantage.
"That's good. After she took it, she was originally fine. When she was about to say goodbye to me, her body suddenly emitted Ghost Qi. Her eyes turned red. Then, she directly crashed into the ground. I followed her all the way and found that she was forcibly opening an entrance that led to the formation below. You have to know that I don't know the entrance either. Usually, when I'm in charge of the formation, I go down from the stone hall."
Elder Qi didn't hide anything. Since Gu Zheng had found this place, he must know the mystery below.
"Fortunately, I still have some skills. I followed her all the way here. However, when I was here, a monster blocked my way. I could only watch as she continued to go in. Along the way, no matter how I called out to her, she seemed to be under control and didn't respond at all." Elder Qi smiled bitterly and quickly explained what had happened. In the end, he added one more point.
"I'm sure that there's no problem with taking the Soul Heart Pill. I dare to guarantee with my life that even if the other party has a special constitution, I won't sense it."
Gu Zheng didn't say anything after hearing the last part.
There was no problem with the Soul Heart Pill. Moreover, the other party didn't have any reason to do anything to Xiao Ying. Usually, Xiao Ying would tell Gu Zheng that she liked this Elder Qi a lot. Elder Qi had given her a lot of good things. At the same time, Gu Zheng's collection had also increased.
"What kind of monster is in front of us? Why are you so afraid of it? Didn't you guys sweep through everything here? Why are these strange things here again? "
"There's no harm in telling you. Actually, we haven't finished exploring everything. We've only explored the most important things. I think there's a secret hall under every island that corresponds to a huge area. There are also some strange water monsters that are extremely powerful. They are entrenched in some places. Even the Sect Master has no confidence in dealing with them. It's possible that the other party came from other places. After all, the spiritual energy in that spiritual spring is very abundant."
Elder Qi pointed to the front and said, "I've tried everything, but I couldn't get past it. However, I'm also stuck here and can't go back. That's because the exit is coincidentally at the back of the main hall. The other party happened to block it, and you came."
"Since I'm here, if that water monster dares to stop me from saving Xiao Ying, it'll be its death." Gu Zheng said with killing intent.
"Young Master Gu, don't be anxious. I'll test it out for you first. The other party is really strange and very difficult to deal with." Elder Qi immediately stopped Gu Zheng when he saw him about to step forward.
"Alright, let me see how strange it is!" Gu Zheng thought for a moment before stopping.
Elder Qi took a few more steps forward and tossed three streams of light forward. They instantly fell to the ground and turned into three simple mechanical puppets.
Their strength was very low, and they were all in human form. However, they seemed to be quite nimble. They should be the puppets that Elder Qi usually used to assist him.
"Keep an eye on it. Moreover, it's extremely sensitive to things like stealth. It's impossible to sneak past it. In any case, I can't see through its strength," one of the three puppets said to Gu Zheng while commanding the three puppets.
Elder Qi's aptitude is average. Even now, he's only at the early stage of Jin Xian. His strength is relatively weak, but he's one of the top alchemists in the Blue Medicine Sect. He's only second to Sen Lu.
Under Elder Qi's control, the three puppets split into three different directions and slowly moved forward.
When they got close, the three puppets emitted a burst of golden light and quickly ran to the side in an attempt to bypass the area.
One of them even jumped straight to the surface of the water and flew towards the target in front.
Gu Zheng carefully watched. At this time, the area in front of him was very calm. There were no signs of the monster that Elder Qi spoke of.
However, the puppet in the middle was like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. When it reached the platform, it was about to touch the headband.
The surface of the pool that had been very calm all this time suddenly began to ripple.
A blue figure suddenly emerged from below. The entire surface of the water exploded like a torrential downpour, bringing a large amount of water splashing in all directions. One of the blue lights flashed, and the puppet's figure instantly turned into a pile of dust in the air. It was wrapped up by a huge force.
Keeping in mind, there was a very strange creature standing at the edge of the pool. Two dead fish like eyes were rotating at different speeds, sizing up the two puppets next to it.
Only now did Gu Zheng get a clear look at the strange creature's face. It looks like an eight or nine year old child with smooth blue skin. Like the other puppets, it also has three webbed fingers and feet. It looks very flexible, but at this time it's half squatting here. Coupled with that hideous head, it looks more like a water monster that's ready to devour people.
Gu Zheng didn't get a good look at the monster's appearance. All he saw was two rows of dense and sharp teeth. After a violent roar, its whole body turned into a blue mist and attached itself to one of the puppets in the blink of an eye.
In the next second, when the blue mist dissipated, that puppet had already disappeared from this world.
Gu Zheng saw it clearly. That blue mist had an extremely strong corrosive aura. It instantly corroded the other party.
The other puppet only lived for one more breath. In the next moment, it also disappeared in the air.
"Gua Gua"
That fishman turned into a blue mist and gathered at the edge of the pool once again. It let out a frog-like croak, as if it was proud of its victory.
In the next moment, it leaped and flew high into the air. Then, it fell towards the pool below.
Just at this time, a sword light suddenly flew from a distance and hit its abdomen with lightning speed.
"Ding Ding"
Just when the other party was about to be stabbed by the sword light, a blue crystal-like scale suddenly appeared on the surface of its abdomen. It was flashing with blue light. When the sword qi hit the surface, its power was almost completely blocked by the crystal. On the contrary, other than the light dimming, the scales didn't suffer any damage.
And the figure of the water monster was also sent flying to the side by this heavy blow.
"Boom"
At the edge of the pool, a precious beast statue that was already missing a head was smashed into pieces by the water monster.
The water monster only collided with the ground for a moment. Its body immediately flipped over and flew up. When its eyes looked towards the direction where the sword light came from, an unusually young person appeared in its eyes.
Its two eyes deeply reflected his shadow. This person actually dared to injure it. Then, he must die.
In the next moment, its figure burst out again and turned into a blue mist. It used the same trick and rushed over.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't like the other two puppets. They didn't know how to resist foolishly. At the same time when the other party's figure moved, the Desolate Cloud Sword in his hand sent out a few intersecting sword lights. It formed a golden net and pounced towards the other party.
"Sizzle Sizzle"
As the other party crashed into the net, a blue mist accompanied by a painful cry echoed in the air. All the blue mist retreated at twice the speed it came from. It once again transformed into a figure.
However, at this moment, there were some charred marks on its body. There were even wisps of black smoke rising from it. It looked very miserable.
At this moment, it knew that Gu Zheng wasn't like those trash from before. He wasn't so easy to deal with. Its eyes no longer had the contempt from before.
Little did it know that Gu Zheng was the same at this moment. He originally thought that it was just an ordinary water monster. However, after exchanging blows with it twice, he realized that the other party's strength was terrifyingly strong. It was actually an early-stage Grand Heavenly Realm water monster.
After taking two consecutive attacks from his Desolate Cloud Sword, it actually only suffered superficial injuries. Its defense was really terrifyingly strong.
However, no matter how strong its defense was, it would definitely die under his sword. He wanted to see if the other party could really block the sharpness of the Desolate Cloud Sword in his hand.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng directly rushed up. He wanted to use the Desolate Cloud Sword to completely kill the other party.
At this moment, one of the water monster's webbed hands suddenly emitted a faint blue light. Before Gu Zheng could make his move, a stream of water rose from the pool below. It turned into a thick water column and rushed towards his hand.
After the stream of water dissipated, a triangular trident with a short handle appeared in its hand. The entire weapon was like a blue crystal. One could vaguely see water flowing within it.
Seeing Gu Zheng rushing towards it, the water monster swung the weapon in its hand forward. As the trident lit up, countless tridents rose in the air and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
"Bang Bang Bang"
Gu Zheng waved the Desolate Cloud Sword in his hand. The tridents were scattered one by one in the air. His speed didn't decrease at all. In the blink of an eye, he rushed in front of the water monster and swept towards its chest.
However, the water monster didn't dodge at all. Its eyes flashed with madness. It swung the trident in its hand forward. It actually wanted to meet force with force and destroy Gu Zheng's attack.
