"I guess so. That's not important." Gu Zheng thought for a moment. In his later life, he could be considered one, but he didn't know how many generations it had been passed down.
Gu Zheng didn't want to know how many things he didn't know in the past. As time passed, the truth was no longer important. Now, he just wanted to know about this place and how to leave this place.
On the other hand, the others were more disappointed. In this way, Gu Zheng was a human. One had to know that most of them were Goblin, and there were even some born of heaven and earth.
With Elder Ma's quick and brief explanation, Gu Zheng also understood the other party's matter.
At that time, when they discovered this place, the news spread outside. Hundreds of powerful Jin Xian rushed here one after another. As the restriction outside was very powerful, even if it was broken, it took them a lot of effort to successfully break through the periphery.
After they came in, everyone had a rich harvest. Even the corpses of the dragons and phoenixes who died in battle were like treasures to them, not to mention some of the treasures that were left here.
However, after a long time, when everyone was about to leave after fighting for the treasures, they found that the exit had disappeared unknowingly. Moreover, they couldn't find a way out no matter what they thought of. Therefore, they built a few towns here, each forming a small circle, and began to discuss how to leave this place.
However, before they could finish their discussion, a group of monsters suddenly appeared in this space and attacked them.
The other party's strength was relatively weak. At first, everyone didn't take it seriously. However, their numbers were endless. Every once in a while, they would gather again and launch suicidal attacks at them.
Every time they fought, a few of them would be sacrificed. Over time, their numbers slowly dwindled. Fortunately, the number of monsters and the frequency of their attacks were also decreasing. However, until now, they were the only ones left. The others were either dead or had left for other places. However, none of them had returned.
They didn't know if they were dead or had left this place.
However, in the early stages, everyone had gathered and searched everywhere. They couldn't find any exit at all. Moreover, the places that were previously not dangerous were now filled with monsters that attacked them.
After that, they no longer had the strength to leave. They could only slowly cut their flesh like a knife, slowly reaching this point.
After Gu Zheng listened, he felt that the other party's explanation was a little vague. There were many places that were either skimmed over or were vague. Overall, it was just a description of how they ended up here.
Gu Zheng thought, 'Perhaps the other party is just simply explaining it to me so that I know about it.'
After the other party finished speaking, Elder Ma chuckled.
"You've just woken up, so your body is still a little tired. Anyway, you're not in a hurry to deal with the matters outside. Let's talk about it later. Hurry up and rest. Li Le, you go back and have a good talk with Gu Zheng. Let him know more about this place and don't cause any conflicts because of some misunderstanding."
"Let's go back first. This time, we need to set up some formations in advance for the attack of the demonic beasts. It can greatly reduce the pressure on us. It's better to make preparations as soon as possible," Senior Ma said to the others.
The others nodded in agreement and followed Elder Ma back.
Gu Zheng was still thinking about how to tell them about the situation in the outside world. After all, too much time had passed, so long that they might not even dare to believe it. Seeing them leave, he didn't say anything.
"Young Master Gu, if there's anything you need, just tell me at any time. I'll be in another room." Li Le smiled at Gu Zheng. Her figure floated to the side and quickly entered her room.
Gu Zheng saw that everyone had left in the blink of an eye. He didn't quite understand what they were thinking, so he simply went back first. If he guessed correctly, the other party would soon ask him about it.
Two days later, Elder Ma came to Gu Zheng's room alone. After carefully listening to Gu Zheng's arrival, he asked about the situation in the outside world. Gu Zheng also gave him a simple explanation. Only then did Elder Ma leave.
During this time, Gu Zheng also promised him one thing, which was to help them repel the next attack of the demonic beasts.
Of course, there were also some very secretive things. Gu Zheng also promised him. After all, he also had to leave this place.
After that, Gu Zheng began his closed-door cultivation. According to them, there were still more than ten thousand years before the demonic beasts would attack. This was also the pattern that they concluded. For Gu Zheng, the time was so long that it was almost frightening.
The first thing to do was, of course, to heal his injuries and take a precious medicinal pill. According to Gu Zheng's calculations, he only needed seven days to recover his cultivation to its peak state. After all, Pan Xuan had kept most of the medicinal pills that Sen Lu gave her and gave them all to Gu Zheng. He was very rich.
As long as he recovered to his peak state, in theory, there shouldn't be anything that could threaten him. After all, they had never seen an expert above the Grand Heavenly Realm. During their time, Jin Xian was already the peak that ordinary Goblin could reach.
Gu Zheng then closed his eyes and his body began to emit a faint light.
He didn't know how much time had passed, but in Gu Zheng's mind, it seemed like only a month had passed. However, his body was telling him that it had been much longer.
However, what made Gu Zheng restless was not this, but the medicinal pill. He didn't know if this was the problem or some other reason, but in a month, his injuries didn't get much better. The medicinal effect in his body was extremely slow, spreading at a speed that made one's hair stand on end. It would take a long time for it to move.
Moreover, when Gu Zheng absorbed the Spiritual Qi from the outside world, he found that he couldn't absorb even a little bit. All the Spiritual Qi in the air was contaminated with other inexplicable attributes. Although it had the same fluctuations as Spiritual Qi, when he absorbed it, it actually damaged his body.
He didn't know if the others were in the same situation. In short, Gu Zheng's mood was now a little anxious. With his own strength, it seemed that he couldn't completely protect himself here, but there was no other way.
After taking a deep breath, Gu Zheng got off the bed, glanced at the sleeping cat, and walked outside.
Opening the restriction, he walked out of the room and saw Li Le in the courtyard. As he walked outside, a familiar voice rang out.
"Li Le, I beg you, there's really no other way. Give me one more, or he won't be able to hold on," pleaded a man beside Li Le.
"There's no more, there's really no more. This time, Senior Ma gave the order to distribute all the medicinal pills. Even so, there's still not enough. Besides, he's not the only one injured. I can't give you medicinal pills out of thin air," Li Le said helplessly.
"I know there must be some hidden medicinal pills. I beg you, no matter the price, I'm willing to pay, really!" The man clearly knew something and begged again.
"There's really no more. Don't say anymore. Even if you say it, I can't give you more," Li Le emphasized. Seeing the man blocking his path, he couldn't help getting angry.
"Hurry up and leave. I'm going to Senior Ma's place. Be careful of Senior Ma causing trouble for you."
When the man heard Li Le mention Senior Ma, his body immediately stiffened and his head drooped to the side like a defeated rooster. His body also moved out of the way.
"Miss Li Le, wait a moment."
Gu Zheng saw that Li Le was about to leave and immediately called out.
"You're out? You've been in seclusion for hundreds of years. I'm afraid I'll have to call you soon. The day of the demon beast attack is coming soon. "Li Le heard Gu Zheng's shout and immediately stood still. She turned to look at Gu Zheng and immediately said.
"You've already used up your medicinal pills? It seems I've wasted a lot before. I still have some left. If possible, how about I give some to you? "Gu Zheng smiled with a selfless appearance.
In fact, it felt like only a month had passed, but Li Le felt like it had been hundreds of years. The difference was really too big.
"Really? That's great. We still have at least a dozen people who haven't recovered from their injuries. With your help, we might be able to reduce the number of casualties in the next battle. "Li Le's face showed a pleasantly surprised smile. She immediately agreed to Gu Zheng's timely help.
"No problem, I still have some left. Since I'm free, let's hurry up." Gu Zheng said enthusiastically.
In fact, he wanted to see if his medicinal pills could still be used here. It had to be known that when he ate the medicinal pills they gave him before, he could clearly feel that almost 100% of the medicinal strength had been absorbed by his body. However, when he ate his own medicinal pills, it was now less than 1%. The speed was so slow that it made people feel despair.
"Okay, you go tell Senior Ma. I'll take Gu Zheng to heal your companions first. How about it?" Li Le immediately said to the side.
"Okay, okay, no problem. I'll go tell Senior Ma." The man's face was full of joy as he agreed without hesitation.
After saying that, he directly ran outside. It seemed that the other party was really worried about his friend.
"You must be joking. Right now, other than some that we have to keep, we really don't have anything else. After such a long time, even if we tried to save a little, we've already used it all up." Li Le bitterly smiled. Everyone probably knew this, so there was no need to hide anything.
"So that's how it is. Let's give it to the others first. I'll see if there's any extra later." Gu Zheng suddenly understood.
Li Le smiled and didn't say anything. She led him outside. Soon, after leaving the empty building, they arrived in front of a slightly smaller building.
Gu Zheng could sense at least two people inside. One of them had a slightly withered aura, as if he had suffered a backlash while cultivating.
Li Le opened the door and said to Gu Zheng, "This place is different from the outside. If you want to absorb even a little bit of the Ling Qi here, you'll have to go through a difficult transformation. If you're not careful, you can injure yourself. However, once the transformation is successful, the Ling Qi here is very large. It should take about the same amount of time as outside."
Her meaning was very simple. Most of these injured people were injured because of this, and because of this, there wasn't much time for them to recover. If they didn't recover before the Monster Beasts attacked, it would be very difficult for them to survive.
However, they had no other choice but to leave some pills in their hands that they would only use as a last resort.
Gu Zheng followed Li Le in and saw that in this small courtyard, there were two people looking at Li Le with shining eyes. Obviously, they thought she had come to deliver pills.
"Not this time. It's Gu Zheng who came in from the outside. He still has some pills in his hand and volunteered to give them to everyone." Li Le didn't get greedy and pushed everything to Gu Zheng.
"Many thanks, Brother Gu Zheng. If you need anything in the future, just let me know." The injured man in the middle said happily.
"If it weren't for everyone saving me, I would have already become a lonely soul. This is something I should do."
As Gu Zheng spoke, he took out a pill corresponding to the injured man's cultivation and handed it over.
The injured man caught it and directly threw it into his mouth. He sat down and swallowed it. In any case, there were no enemies here, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed by the outside world.
Soon, wisps of white mist emerged from the top of his head, and his originally pale face was restored to a ruddy complexion.
Gu Zheng and Li Le didn't leave. After half a day, the injured man opened his eyes again and stood up happily. Feeling his body, he couldn't help but walk over to Gu Zheng and hug Gu Zheng in his arms.
"I'm sorry to call you Brother, but compared to her pill, it's on a completely different level. Thank you so much."
"It's okay, we still have to go to other friends. Since it's effective, we won't delay you any longer." Gu Zheng struggled out of the bear hug and quickly said.
"Okay, okay, I'll keep you." He was in a very good mood, and even his companions were smiling. They were full of gratitude towards Gu Zheng.
After so many years, the three of them were more like brothers than brothers. Outsiders wouldn't be able to understand their feelings.
After Gu Zheng said goodbye to them, Li Le took him to another place. She naturally knew who needed these things the most.
After leaving, Li Le said sincerely to Gu Zheng, "I'll thank you on their behalf. Otherwise, some of them probably wouldn't have been able to make it through this time. You should know that they have old injuries that haven't healed yet. It seems that your pills are much more effective than ours."
Gu Zheng shook his head and said, "The main thing is that there's nothing in this place. Even a clever woman can't cook without rice. You guys are really impressive."
"Ai, it's a pity that we can't solve it forever. Now that the Star Platform is destroyed, we don't know how to leave this place." Li Le seemed to have thought of something and sighed.
"There's no such thing as a dead end in any place. I suspect that there must be a way out of here somewhere. Perhaps it was hidden from the beginning and has already appeared by now." Gu Zheng comforted her.
"I hope so."
Li Le wasn't in the mood to talk. She took Gu Zheng to the next place.
After a few turns, they arrived at the residence of a man with a decent cultivation base. At this time, the man was still quietly cultivating. On the surface, he didn't seem to be injured. However, Gu Zheng didn't hesitate. After the man woke up, he gave him another pill.
After waiting for half a day, the other party awoke from his meditation and thanked Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng finally understood that there was nothing wrong with his medicinal pill, but why was he unable to absorb it? It was truly strange.
Next, Li Le took Gu Zheng from house to house. However, they didn't wait there. Instead, after giving the pills to each person, they left.
Half a day later, they left the last house amidst the gratitude of the other party.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave. We'll remember your help this time," Li Le said to Gu Zheng.
"I do have something to ask of you. I wonder if it's possible?" When Gu Zheng heard the other party's words, he immediately replied with a hesitant tone.
"Oh? What is it? If it's possible, I'll definitely do it. "Li Le was just being polite. He didn't expect Gu Zheng to really have something to ask of him.
"It won't make things difficult for you. Don't you still have some pills? I'm willing to buy back the pills in your hands for three times the price. Don't worry, the quality definitely won't be low. What do you think? "Gu Zheng said with a smile. Li Le was surprised by this request.
"No problem, but that thing is with Old Ma. He probably won't refuse." When Li Le heard Gu Zheng's request, he was first taken aback. Then, he gave Gu Zheng a deep look before saying,
"If that's the case, then that's great. I'll wait for you at home." Gu Zheng smiled. He seemed very satisfied that Li Le had agreed to his request.
Li Le nodded and flew off into the distance, quickly leaving this place.
As for Gu Zheng, based on his memories and Li Le's introduction, he walked towards his own room.
There were too many empty houses here. They were all left behind by the dead warriors. Therefore, under normal circumstances, people wouldn't move into their houses. In any case, there were more and they didn't care about worldly possessions.
Gu Zheng looked at the deserted streets and hurried back.
"I say, friend, why did you break into this place? Don't you know that this place can only be entered but not exited? Do you want to linger on at death's door and be destroyed with this world?"
Just as Gu Zheng was walking, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Gu Zheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall and thin young man wearing luxurious clothes leaning against a corner. He seemed to be coldly looking at him. When he saw that Gu Zheng was looking at him, he straightened his body.
"Why do you say that? Is this place about to be destroyed? " Gu Zheng thought back to when he first arrived. The golden light surged and released a destructive aura that looked extremely terrifying.
"Destruction? According to your understanding, it's more or less the same. "At this moment, a woman's voice also sounded from the other side of Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng looked over and saw a woman wearing exquisite red clothes. He didn't know when she had appeared from the side. She was looking at him with a smile as if she was looking at a relative. She gave Gu Zheng a very warm feeling, which made him feel very strange.
"Why do you say that?"
Gu Zheng did not know why the other party was keeping him in suspense. Why would he suddenly tell him all this? Moreover, from the other party's aura, he seemed to be different from the others. His aura made Gu Zheng somewhat excited. It was truly strange.
