"What did you just call it?"
Gu Zheng turned to look at the brush and asked.
"Formation Spirit. It is the core that controls everything in this place. It can control all the formations." The brush said excitedly.
"But why would it appear here?" Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"I also do not know. I only heard of it before I was placed here. I have never seen it before." The brush was also puzzled.
"Let's get closer. You be careful." Gu Zheng decided to take a look first.
There were at least a dozen passageways around the hall. He did not know where they led. The hall was also empty. There was only a lonely table in front of him. It looked a bit strange.
This treasure chest looked very exquisite. There were all kinds of resplendent spirit stones embedded in it. However, from the outside, there was no aura at all. If the brush had not mentioned the other party's identity, he would have thought it was just an ordinary box. However, when he looked closer, he could see four golden words on top.
"Radiant Treasure Chest."
"The other party's aura is definitely that of the Formation Spirit. However, why is it resting here at this time?" The brush moved closer and said with certainty.
"I will open it. You hide." Gu Zheng also checked for a moment. He did not find anything strange. He decided to open it first.
At this moment, there was already a small gap in the treasure chest. It was as if someone had opened it before.
"Okay."
The brush flew to the wall above and stuck to it. At the same time, its body changed. It was like the wall, like a chameleon. Even its aura disappeared. If one did not pay attention, one would not be able to notice it.
Gu Zheng praised in his heart. This concealment technique was truly brilliant. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have been able to sense the other party's existence. He did not know if he should praise the other party for being timid or for having great talent.
However, this did not affect Gu Zheng's actions. After finishing his preparations, Gu Zheng raised his hand to grab the treasure chest. He grabbed both sides and gently opened it.
Bang!
Just as he opened a small gap, a soft sound suddenly rang out. Countless black fog flowed out.
At the same time as the black fog emerged, the ground trembled. A black barrier enveloped the outside, completely imprisoning Gu Zheng within.
"There's a trap!"
Gu Zheng was the first to react. He immediately retreated. Unfortunately, the shield looked very tough. It would take him at least a few breaths of time to get out.
Behind them, the cries of several animals could be heard, and the sound of something breaking through the air could be heard.
Gu Zheng dodged to the side and turned his head to look behind him. He discovered that it was actually a spider that was three feet long. Its body was emitting a unique black mist, and there were dozens of eyes that were staring at Gu Zheng with red light.
In such a narrow space, the opposite side occupied more than half of the space. In the previous position, a few spider webs hung on the black barrier.
While Gu Zheng was observing his opponent, the black spider opened its mouth again and spat out white spider silk, which turned into a huge white web in the air and once again enveloped Gu Zheng.
Before Gu Zheng could dodge, the spider once again sent out several white spider webs from both sides, completely sealing off Gu Zheng's space. No matter how many webs there were, he would still have to face the attack of the spider webs.
Gu Zheng simply didn't dodge. He directly slashed his hand forward, directly slashing at the spider webs.
However, the spider webs didn't break as Gu Zheng had expected. A particularly slippery feeling came from the point of contact, and he felt that his strength had been reduced by at least half. He only managed to cut a bulge in the middle of the spider webs, and the spider webs on both sides continued to encircle him.
"Violent!"
Gu Zheng coldly shouted, and an intense golden light came from his sword. At the same time, a bolt of golden lightning came from the sword and wreaked havoc in the surroundings. The spider webs were vaporized the moment they came into contact with it.
Gu Zheng flicked his wrist and then took a large step forward to slash at his opponent. All the golden lightning in the air suddenly converged and condensed into a golden sword light in front of Gu Zheng, which flew towards the spider in front of him.
That golden arc of lightning crackled. In such a short distance, it had already arrived in front of the spider at almost the same time he had pressed down.
Before the sword light had even slashed down, the surrounding lightning had already rushed up and exploded on the spider's body like firecrackers.
A bolt of lightning came from the tip of the sword, directly causing the spider's body to stiffen. Then the sword light descended and landed on one of the spider's legs that it had just raised.
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the short leg that bore the brunt of the attack was instantly cut in two. The sword light didn't weaken in the slightest as it continued to charge into the spider's body.
A cold smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face. Just as he was about to detonate the sword with a thought, he discovered a black fog suddenly erupting from his opponent's body. The sword light was instantly drowned out by the black fog, and he lost contact with it.
Not only that, the leg that had been cut off continued to grow back in the blink of an eye. Even the wound that had been slashed open earlier was quickly recovering.
"This damned black mist." Gu Zheng looked at the familiar black mist and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Not only did this thing have a strong recovery ability, it was also very difficult to deal with. Just now, the ghost had already given Gu Zheng a headache after exchanging blows with it.
However, it was useless even if he was worried about the other party. The spider had already rushed up with its huge body. In this narrow space, there was no space to take a detour even if he wanted to.
However, he didn't need to take a detour. He directly pulled out his weapon and rushed up to the spider.
While still in the air, the spider opened its mouth again and spat out a large amount of black liquid. It was like a fairy scattering flowers, directly covering the entire space in front of it.
The black liquid made a sizzling sound in the air. There was no need to see or know that Gu Zheng didn't want to stick to it at all. He already knew that the other party would use this move. His body immediately descended and then accelerated, directly arriving behind the spider.
However, although his speed was fast, the other party's speed wasn't slow either. By the time he arrived behind the spider, the other party had already turned around and was waiting for him.
Even so, Gu Zheng didn't retreat. He immediately rushed forward and slashed the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand towards the other party.
The spider's eyes shone with an ominous light. It also didn't dodge. Its two front limbs directly blocked the top of its head. The black mist above it shrank and merged into it, making it look as hard as a rock. The four limbs on the side of its body shot out like lightning, directly stabbing towards Gu Zheng's abdomen and chest. It seemed like it was going to perish together with him.
With a thought, Gu Zheng left behind a threatening afterimage. He let go of the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand and continued to press down on the other party. At the same time, he took the opportunity to sneak around from the side.
Even without Gu Zheng's control, the Cloud Desolate Sword's power didn't decrease at all. With a sharp attack, it slashed downwards. The black mist that the other party relied on didn't increase its defense by much. It only lasted for a moment, and the result was the same as before. Facing the sharp Cloud Desolate Sword, it couldn't resist at all.
The Cloud Desolate Sword ruthlessly slashed down from the side of the spider's body. A huge gap appeared on the spider's body. It was as if the entire spider's body was occupied. It was almost split in half.
It thought that the power of the other party's Sword Qi was comparable. Furthermore, with the black mist surrounding its body, it suffered a huge loss.
Even so, with this slight hesitation, the four limbs that were like four sharp blades pierced into Gu Zheng's body at almost the same time.
However, before it could be happy, the illusion in front of it disappeared the moment it came in contact with the other party.
At the same time, Gu Zheng slowly appeared behind it. With a pinch of his hand, the Cloud Desolate Sword that was intentionally stuck in the spider's body flashed with a golden light. It suddenly accelerated and directly pierced through the spider's body.
"Crash!"
After receiving such a heavy blow, the spider's body was immediately split in half in the air. A large amount of black blood splashed down from the sky.
However, just as it fell in the air, a scorching flame rose out of thin air and surrounded the broken body.
Following the spider's intense cry before it died, it resisted until everything was burned clean by the raging flames.
After doing all this, Gu Zheng slowly descended from the sky. In just a short exchange of blows, the table and the treasure box below were still intact. This really surprised him.
However, although the spider was dead, the black curtain beside it still existed. Gu Zheng was not in a hurry. At this moment, it could still provide him with external defense so that he could continue to open the treasure box.
Arriving in front of the treasure box, he only opened a small gap. At this moment, following Gu Zheng's movements, it once again slowly opened.
After it was completely opened, a strong ray of light blossomed from within. Gu Zheng could not help but take two steps back to avoid the sharp light.
The light in front of him came suddenly and went quickly. Before he could see through the inside, a spirit body emitting a blue light appeared in front of Gu Zheng.
"Thank you for saving me, successor. If you came a few years later, I'm afraid that spider would have completely swallowed me and replaced me." The array spirit smiled at Gu Zheng.
"You're welcome. I just suddenly saw you here. If it wasn't for the tip of the writing brush, I really wouldn't have known that you were here." Gu Zheng looked at the array spirit that was a head taller than him and also smiled.
"So it's him. It seems that the white horse has been subdued by you. Otherwise, how could you leave that place? But now, I have to quickly return to my original position. The entire defense system here has been infiltrated by the other party. If I don't return, I'm afraid it will be completely occupied by the other party." The array spirit nodded with an understanding expression, but quickly said anxiously.
From the looks of it, it seemed that Gu Zheng would not refuse at all, which made him a little speechless. It seemed that this sword almost made the other party believe in him unconditionally. He really did not know if they would still do this if it was in the hands of a bad person. Wouldn't that be like a wolf entering the house?
At this moment, a slight sound came from the shield outside. Taking a closer look, it was the writing brush bumping against the shield.
Without waiting for Gu Zheng to make a move, the array spirit waved its hand and the shield in front of it shattered. The writing brush outside was caught off guard and wanted to continue bumping into the shield to attract the attention of the inside. It directly crashed into the ground in a sorry state.
"You scared me to death just now. You can even deal with such a huge spider. You're too powerful." The writing brush swayed in the air and said awkwardly.
"Don't talk about this spider. This kind of low-level spider is nothing to worry about. Do you know if there are other powerful characters here?" Gu Zheng shook his head and said. This little victory did not make him feel much pride.
"Of course there are. There's a guy who calls himself Chaos Goblin who has been in charge of this place. We have been fighting against him for thousands of years. But at the beginning, he could not even take a step forward. Later on, more and more reinforcements came from the other side and slowly fell to this point."
Hearing Gu Zheng's question, the array spirit immediately said.
"Chaos Goblin?" Gu Zheng repeated, as if to confirm the other party's identity.
"Yes, the strength of these Goblin Souls cannot be seen from the outside, but most of them are stronger than Jin Xian. And this Chaos Goblin is even more treacherous. You have to know that we have a Spirit Soul Formation here. Ordinary ghosts and humans cannot enter at all. This is a formation that my king specially prepared to prevent interference. The other party's ghosts that are stronger than this could not break through, but this Chaos Goblin came in."
"Ever since it came, we have gradually fallen into a disadvantage. The other party is sinister and cunning. You have to be very careful. No one on our side can deal with it."
The array spirit said with a serious expression.
"The other party is so strong. Why hasn't anyone completely destroyed this place? Instead, they can only gradually encroach on it." Gu Zheng asked curiously.
"There are two powerful Spirit Souls here. They have been holding the other party back. But even so, he can still find opportunities to give orders. Now that the situation is getting worse, I'm afraid it will be completely lost soon." The array spirit explained.
"By the way, who put you here? Although I don't know where the formation eye is, I know it's definitely not here." The brush suddenly asked.
"It's a general who broke into this place. I don't know him, but I can recognize that he is also my king's subordinate. You should know that when the center of the formation fell, it was he who broke in and forcibly rescued me." The Matrix Spirit said frankly.
"It's General Song. It must be him. I knew when he came here. I could sense the aura that he released." The brush said excitedly.
"Is it Song Shan?" Gu Zheng thought of the man and could not help but ask.
"Of course it's him. You have to know that I was the one who wrote down his position as a general." The brush said proudly.
"What do I need to do?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.
After learning that there was a group of demons in front of him, Gu Zheng felt that it would be difficult for him to fight alone. Moreover, with the help of the array spirit, he could first destroy the shield above.
Moreover, there were Spirit Guards here. If they could help him, even if they were slightly weaker, they would still be very useful in dealing with those small fries. After all, his strength was not enough to ignore everything. If that was the case, it would be easy for him to come alone.
"I'm not fully injured and can't leave the treasure box, so I need you to send me to the formation eye. Only then can I continue to fight for those formations that have been controlled. However, the center of the town is now occupied by the other party. If you open the Yin-Yang Black Tortoise Formation, you can greatly weaken the demons in the center of the formation. Moreover, when I cast the spell, I can't be disturbed, so everything depends on you."
The array spirit already had a plan in mind. This situation was also expected. There was also a killer move hidden here in order to prevent the center of the formation from falling into the hands of others.
"Okay, with you leading the way, we will be able to take it back soon." Gu Zheng directly agreed.
"Deng Deng"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind, instantly attracting their attention.
Gu Zheng turned his head and looked at one of the passages. The sound came from inside.
"Enemy?" The brush said softly in the air.
Gu Zheng shook his head slightly, then clenched the weapon in his hand. Once the enemy appeared, he would directly use the power of thunder to deal with them.
However, in his heart, he felt that it didn't seem like it. Those demon souls shouldn't be so stupid and appear so obviously.
As the figure approached, a figure suddenly staggered out from inside.
"Song Shan!"
Gu Zheng shouted in surprise. He didn't expect the other party to appear here. He immediately went forward and supported the other party.
"Thanks!" Song Shan's body was covered in blood. After arriving here, he directly sat on the ground. When he saw Gu Zheng wanted to help him up, he waved his hand and refused.
"What's wrong with you? When did you come here? Why are you like this? "
Gu Zheng took out a pill and handed it over, then asked a series of questions.
He just knew that he had arrived here, but he didn't expect to meet him so soon.
"After I snatched the array spirit from there, I came here to ask some questions. Who knew that there would be a huge black spider inside. After a simple fight with the other party, I lured the other party away to prevent further damage to the array spirit. Until just now, I killed the other party, but I also suffered heavy injuries."
Song Shan swallowed the pill, and his complexion improved a little. Only then did he speak with a huff.
"He was the one who saved me. So it was General Song. Thank you for your help. Otherwise, we wouldn't have any room to turn around." The array spirit said affirmatively and thanked Song Shan.
"We're all on the same side. If it wasn't for the vibration just now that distracted me, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state. I don't know how you came here, Gu Zheng. It's really fate. Did you know that there was a crisis here? Just like last time, you deliberately came here to solve it." Song Shan said with a forced smile.
"It was a coincidence. The enemy that invaded this place was also my enemy. That's why it was so coincidental. Don't say anything for now. Rest here first," Gu Zheng said hurriedly.
"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you."
Song Shan didn't stand on ceremony. After he finished speaking, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground. He didn't care about tidying up his body. He closed his eyes and began to faintly absorb the medicinal strength.
"Speaking of General Song, General Song appeared. This time, we are stronger. We can definitely drive those monsters out." The brush was a little excited. It waved a circle in the air and whispered.
"Well, but we don't have to worry. Wait for Song Shan to recover a little before we set off. I'll go check the surroundings first. Some enemies are sneaking up on us." Gu Zheng nodded and walked outside.
Gu Zheng didn't plan to enter the nearby passages. He simply set up a detection array on the periphery. This way, they would be prevented from sneaking in.
"General Song, what are you doing?!"
Gu Zheng had only set up half of the alert array when suddenly, the brush's frightened shout came from behind. He quickly looked back and found that Song Shan, who was originally resting, had stood up and raised his fist to smash the array spirit.
"Crash"
The array spirit didn't expect it at all. Its whole body was like a crystal and suddenly shattered into pieces. A small blue ball floated in the air and was directly caught by Song Shan.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "
Song Shan's body was emitting black gas. He waved his hands and shouted wildly. Then, he quickly drilled into a passage and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a somewhat dumbfounded Gu Zheng and the brush.
