"You should have noticed it by now. If possible, you shouldn't stay here for too long. The longer you stay here, the higher the chances of you being assimilated. This is based on the advice of an elder."
The woman in red said in a serious tone.
"Hehe, boy, although you look very powerful, there are some things that you shouldn't force yourself to do. No matter what you do, you can't change what has already become a fact. It will only be a waste of effort." The man next to her said coldly. After speaking, he walked to the side of the corridor and disappeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"If there's anything you need, remember to come find me. Maybe I can help you a little." The woman also smiled at Gu Zhengyi, and her figure floated away.
Gu Zheng was confused. It seemed that the other party thought he had discovered something and deliberately came to tell him. But he really had only found a trace and was still confused about the rest.
While thinking, Gu Zheng returned to his courtyard. He was still thinking about this problem, but right now he knew too little and didn't know what was going on.
Half a day later, Li Le came in with an old sandalwood box, waking Gu Zheng from his thoughts.
There was a small lock on it that was now in an open state. Judging from the medicinal fragrance coming from it, it should be the last of their pills.
"They're all here. These are all of our medicinal pills." Li Le directly opened the sandalwood box in his hand, revealing the somewhat dim luster of the pills inside, and said straightforwardly.
Gu Zheng roughly looked inside and saw that there were at least a dozen pills, all of which seemed to be of good quality. They should be the best pills they had.
Unfortunately, even if it was perfectly preserved, its efficacy had been reduced by at least 40%. That was something that couldn't be helped, so when he heard Gu Zheng's request, Li Le didn't even think about it before agreeing.
"There are a lot of pills in here. Take a look and see if they are suitable." Gu Zheng thought for a moment, then took out five bottles from his chest and handed them over.
These five bottles added up to over a hundred pills, from high to low end, and the efficacy was much stronger than theirs.
Li Le took a look at it and was pleasantly surprised. He didn't think that Gu Zheng would give them so much, enough to last them for a long time.
"If there's nothing else," Li Le said to Gu Zheng, putting away the bottle, "I still have work to do. When the Demonic Beasts arrive, I'll send someone to notify you. You can look around and talk to your friends, but most of them won't have the time."
"There's nothing else. It's just that I met two strange people on my way here. What are their identities?" Gu Zheng gave a brief description of the two outsiders before asking. "That's right.
After Li Le left, Gu Zheng also returned to his room. He wasn't interested in going out, but he was thinking about the identity of those two people.
The man was actually from the Dragon Clan, and the woman was from a branch of the Wind Clan. They didn't know what happened, but they finally escaped from here. However, they didn't know how to leave here, and those demon beasts also attacked them, so they stayed here.
Their fighting strength was also very strong, and besides the two of them quarreling from time to time, they didn't do anything else. The only difference was that they didn't seem to want to leave here, they just wanted to live here peacefully.
"I really don't know what they mean. It seems I can only wait until I have time to see." Gu Zheng thought about it, and even wanted to wake up Xiao Mao and ask her what was going on.
However, he didn't feel any danger in his heart, but when he thought about staying here for a while, a faint sense of danger appeared in his heart. It seemed like the other party was right, if he stayed here for a long time, he really wouldn't be able to get out.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng threw all of this to the back of his mind. The only thing he could do now was to block soldiers with arms, water with an earth weir. No matter what, he had to leave this evil place as soon as possible. That was the best way.
Gu Zheng placed a simple restriction on his door, then sat cross-legged on the bed and took out his Cloud Desolate Sword.
At this time, the black fog was still spreading on top of the sword, making it seem like the Cloud Desolate Sword had fallen into a deep sleep. He couldn't use it as he wished, it was like an ordinary weapon, and he couldn't even input his Immortal Energy.
"This damn black fog, I have to find a way to completely get rid of it. If I go back and forth like this, I'll be played to death by the other party."
Gu Zheng muttered in his heart, then put the Cloud Desolate Sword to the side and took out the small box he snatched from Uncle Gao. At that time, he only caught a glimpse of the thing inside, but he also felt that it was emitting a shocking aura. Looking at it directly, this thing had a supporting effect.
Soon, he broke the restriction that Uncle Gao placed on the box, and opened it to see what was inside.
Originally, Gu Zheng thought that it would be a special magic treasure, or even an extremely precious item. He didn't expect that when he opened it, it would only be a blue liquid-like object. It was only the size of a fingernail, and it was slightly swaying in a crystal groove in the box. He couldn't feel anything moving from it, causing him to be extremely disappointed.
Although he didn't recognize this thing, and it was definitely a good thing in a heavily guarded place, it seemed like it would be a waste in his hands. He could only bury it deep and wait for the right time to take it out.
Just as Gu Zheng was about to put it away, he suddenly saw the Cloud Desolate Sword at the side flickering with light. When Gu Zheng subconsciously closed the box, the light from the sword gradually disappeared.
Seeing this, Gu Zheng opened the box again and looked at the Cloud Desolate Sword. He discovered that the sword hilt was once again flickering with light. Under his gaze, the two balls, one blue and one red, were flickering with light, as if they were yearning for something.
He gently pushed the sandalwood box in his hand forward, and the two beads flickered even faster. At the same time, a ray of two-colored light shot out from their bodies, like a tentacle flying towards this side. It stopped above the sandalwood box and looked down, as if it was some kind of delicious food in front of it, and wanted to swallow it.
However, without paying attention to the instructions, it could only look down with greed, not daring to go down.
"Since you want it, then each of you can have half."
Gu Zheng didn't know what the use of it was, but even the Cloud Desolate Sword was spontaneously attracted. It seemed like he had underestimated this thing. However, no matter how good it was, he didn't know how to use it, so it was better to just give it to the Cloud Desolate Sword. Maybe it would have some unexpected changes.
Following his words, the blue light went into the sandalwood box with a "sou" sound, while the red light was still foolishly floating in the air. When the blue light retreated, there was still half of it left in the box.
However, the originally blue liquid had now turned scarlet red, and at this time, the red light also swept the rest of it back into its own ball, returning it to its original state.
Looking carefully, in the depths of the ball, there was a red dot and a blue dot flickering with light. Other than that, Gu Zheng waited for a long time, but there was no other movement. He thought that no matter what, they would help him get rid of the black fog.
He bitterly smiled and shook his head, deciding to do it himself.
Taking out all the medicinal pills that Li Le had given him, he swallowed them all in one gulp. Feeling the medicinal energy spread throughout his body, he took out the Desolate Cloud Sword and began to forcibly reseal the black fog temporarily.
Time slowly passed. He didn't know if it was because he was here, but Gu Zheng felt that it was abnormally difficult to get rid of the black fog. He could only patiently grind it down bit by bit.
After an unknown amount of time, the Cloud Desolate Sword that was surrounded by black fog once again regained its original light. Looking at the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand, it seemed that everything had returned to normal.
"Good heavens, in order to heal you, I ate those pills for nothing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to force the black fog back." Gu Zheng felt the situation of his body and felt a little regretful. Originally, he wanted to rely on those pills to heal his injuries. As long as he could use a little more strength, it would have been good.
Gu Zheng pushed open the door of his room and prepared to go out. His estimate of the time was not accurate. He felt that at most half a year had passed. He didn't know how much time had passed outside, but it was definitely not the time he thought.
Before he could leave the courtyard, he saw Li Le rush in from outside. After seeing Gu Zheng, his wrinkled face relaxed a little. He immediately said to Gu Zheng.
"You came out just in time. I was just about to wake you up. There are less than three years until the demon beasts attack. Some of the enemy's scattered vanguards have already arrived and could attack at any time."
"So fast, then what should I do?" Gu Zheng said, but in his heart, it seemed that compared to when he first came in, the flow of time had sped up. If he really stayed here, wouldn't he be the same as them?
"It's in the west of the town. Generally, they will attack from there. Since you're awake, I'll go to other places to wake up those in seclusion." Li Le finished speaking and left.
Gu Zheng followed the road all the way to the west. When he arrived, he found that nearly thirty people had already gathered there. There were no buildings in this area. Instead, there were a large number of formations engraved on the ground. Moreover, there were several towering buildings that looked like arrow towers.
The arrow towers were only made of ordinary materials and were also engraved with runes. Now that they had been activated, they were shining with a dazzling light.
Seeing Gu Zheng come over, most of the people looked at Gu Zheng, their eyes full of friendliness. After all, each of them had a spare pill, all of which came from Gu Zheng. Not to mention, some of them were directly delivered by Gu Zheng. Everyone received Gu Zheng's kindness.
That Senior Ma really knows how to conduct himself. He isn't greedy for any of his contributions. No wonder everyone is convinced, Gu Zheng thought as he walked into the crowd.
Over there, Senior Ma, the girl, and the others were pointing at the sky and talking about something. When they saw Gu Zheng coming over, they happily spoke.
"It's been hard on you this time."
"It's not hard at all. It looks like everyone is quite relaxed." Gu Zheng nodded and gestured to the people beside him, which was considered a greeting.
"We've long since gotten used to it. After all, the other party only has so many tricks up their sleeves. With your pills, everyone is absolutely confident that we can pass this time," Mao Zhengyu said confidently, gripping his weapon tightly.
"That's right. It can be said that everyone is most confident this time," Asura Jin Lang, who was at the side, said casually with his red eyes.
"By the way, you still don't know the characteristics of the other party, right? Let me tell you so that you won't be flustered. After all, some of the other party's monsters are very strong. They are not weaker than us. So, we cannot be careless," Senior Ma suddenly said to Gu Zheng.
"I'm all ears. Thank you for your trouble." Gu Zheng revealed an interested expression and listened attentively.
"First, there is the most common type of monster, which is also the most numerous. We call it the Fire Bird because the other party is a monster made of flames. It has three legs and two heads. Although it seems weak, being only a late-stage Heaven Immortal, some of the Fire Birds emitting golden light are as strong as an early-stage Jin Xian …"
Gu Zheng listened and nodded continuously. Senior Ma's explanation included some methods to deal with the Demonic Beasts. This was the best way to deal with the Demonic Beasts.
As the surrounding people gradually gathered, Li Le also returned.
During this short period of time, Senior Ma did not tell Gu Zheng about the characteristics of the monsters. An unusual phenomenon appeared in the sky. The sky, which was originally filled with golden light, suddenly turned red, as though it was on fire.
"Senior Ma, Senior Ma, the other party's attack is coming soon," the little girl said to Senior Ma as she looked up at the sky.
Every time the other party attacked, this phenomenon would appear.
"Let's stop here first. The other party is already here. We will deal with the stronger ones. After all, there are not many of them." Senior Ma quickly said to Gu Zheng. Then, he took a step forward and flew up, sticking to the bottom of the shield.
More than half of the team rose up together, as though they were waiting for something.
When the shield of the town suddenly disappeared, all of them rushed outside. With a thought, Gu Zheng followed closely behind.
It didn't take long for the ground below to rise up again. However, compared to before, it was clearly much dimmer. There were also some people on the ground below, who were relatively weaker. They stood in different positions, and the spell formation beneath their feet had already lit up. There were even some people who had entered the tower, as if they were controlling it to deal with the enemy below.
"Be careful. The other party is coming. Kill them all!"
Following a loud shout from the crowd, rows of red lights suddenly appeared at the end of the sky as though they had teleported. At the same time, the sky above turned completely red, looking like a clump of raging flames burning in the sky. It looked very scary.
"Don't worry about the top. It looks scary, but in reality, that is all there is to it so far. No creatures have ever appeared from above."
Perhaps seeing Gu Zheng's worry, Li Le explained to Gu Zheng from the side.
Gu Zheng looked around. Indeed, no one was paying attention to the top. Everyone was looking at the surging flames in front, surging over like a line of fire, rapidly approaching from a distance.
At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of them. This was a large number.
However, there were quite a lot of them. Rushing over in such a densely packed manner, it was quite imposing.
However, most of them were ordinary red flames. For the crowd, even if there were many of them, they were not afraid at all. A mere Sky Immortal enemy would not even be able to break through their defenses. The only thing that worried them was that if the flames accidentally stuck to their bodies, they would not be able to extinguish them in a short period of time. Although the damage was pitifully low, if there were too many of them on their bodies, it would still affect them.
Of course, they also had to pay attention to the golden figures. Their strength was already enough to threaten them. It had to be known that they were not the only enemies; there were many more. If they suffered light injuries here and there, it would easily accumulate. Then, they would find that they were powerless and would be entangled to death.
As the flames approached, some people began to prepare their magic. When the flames reached the boundary, the first to attack was Mao Zhengyu.
He held the longbow in his hand and pulled it back abruptly. Five fluorescent arrows appeared on the bowstring. Then, he loosened his fingers and five small airwaves exploded around him. Accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, the airwaves drew five beautiful arcs in the air and flew toward the other side at an extremely fast speed.
In the blink of an eye, the five lights fell into the fire clouds in front of them.
"Boom!" A few loud sounds rang out.
A few brilliant rays of white light flashed past, and five areas suddenly disappeared from the advancing red cloud. The empty area was clearly visible, but the enemy's tide-like attacks didn't stop at all. Furthermore, they didn't know what fear was.
After a batch died, more came to replace them. In a few breaths, the originally obvious gaps were filled by the enemy.
"Kill as many of these fire birds as possible. This way, it will be easier for us as we go." On the other side, Mao Zhengyu pulled the bowstring again and said to Gu Zheng. Five lights lit up again. When he released the bowstring, five more lights fell and cleared the densely packed areas again.
Now, other than him, the others' attack range was not so far. They could only wait patiently for the enemy to come closer. However, their bodies had already lit up with various colors. Once the enemy entered their attack range, they would mercilessly bombard them.
They were already very familiar with this set of moves. They could even slowly increase the power of their spells during this period, letting the enemy have a taste of what was called a storm.
After Mao Zhengyu fired five attacks in a row, he stopped attacking. Not only was the enemy's lineup now much thinner, but more importantly, he had enough strength to deal with the following battle.
As for the rest, he only needed to wait for his companions to perform.
At this time, the enemy was already not far away. Gu Zheng could see the enemy's red eyes emitting a fierce gaze. They were staring at him as if there was some kind of life and death enmity.
And at this time, the people who had been accumulating their strength finally started to move.
The first to attack was actually the person with the Dragon Bloodline who had warned Gu Zheng. He took a step forward and the light in his hand that had been ready to attack was waved in front of him. A large area of blue light, like the stars and the moon, flew towards a small area in front of him.
The blue light was still halfway there. As the light flickered, it turned into a monstrous wave that rose up to a height of ten feet. Wave after wave, it rushed towards the enemy.
The Fire Bird in front of him, whether it was ordinary or mixed with the golden color, was like a speck of dust in front of this huge wave. It was unable to put up any resistance in front of this huge wave and was scattered by the impact.
