"I didn't expect there to be such a mystery here."
The brush could not help but comment when it saw Gu Zheng speed up and widen the gap bit by bit.
"Let's go and take a look. We are looking for someone. If the other party knows a little, it will save us a lot of time." Gu Zheng spent some time and finally created a space in front of them that was big enough for them to enter.
This was because Gu Zheng knew in his heart that if he walked out from the inside, the further he went, the higher the chances of encountering enemies. The battlefield was almost all around the periphery of the array eye. However, he could feel the collapse here. The faster he repaired the array spirit, the more confident he would be to fight against the other party when he encountered danger.
The only thing that worried Gu Zheng was the Chaos Demon in that position and the Hero Spirit in the air. He could only hope that the array spirit had a way. Otherwise, with just the three of them, they would be no match for them.
After walking through this passage, it did not take long for a strange smell to enter his nose.
"Be careful in front. There's poison." Although Gu Zheng was only able to sense a slight tactile sensation, and was unable to affect him at all, he still spoke to warn Chu Feng.
"What should I do? I can't go forward. I can't block the poisonous fog with the treasure box on my back. "The brush behind was shocked and stopped moving forward.
In this situation, it could deal with a little poisonous fog. However, if it was more serious, it would not be able to protect the treasure box.
"Wait for me here. Come out when I give you a signal. Or I will come and find you." Gu Zheng immediately said when he heard it.
Anyway, the other party's combat power was negligible. It did not matter if it came or not.
Since the poisonous fog was floating over, there must be a source of poison ahead. After making preparations, Gu Zheng walked forward again. Not long after, a yellow light shone in from the front.
It let Gu Zheng know that the exit was in front of him. For this, he had to be more careful.
When he came to the outside of the last ray of light, Gu Zheng extended a strand of divine consciousness to look inside. To his surprise, there was no danger inside. It was an empty hall.
After hesitating for a while, Gu Zheng decided to go in first. If an enemy appeared in this position, he would be a target.
There weren't any traps at the exit, so he walked out smoothly. Only then did he carefully look around.
This hole was about the same size as the previous one. It was also very tall. There was a huge stone pillar in the middle that went all the way to the top.
On the surrounding walls, many golden ores were forcefully placed on top. The golden light was emitted from above.
However, the only difference was that in another corner, there was a dense green mist lingering in it. He could vaguely see that there was a passageway inside, but he didn't know where it led.
"Successor, are you really here?" At this moment, a voice of pleasant surprise came from the sky.
"Who are you? Where are you? "Gu Zheng looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the path that was obstructed.
The title of successor seemed to be given by the people here to the owner of the Cloud Desolate Sword, Gu Zheng. It was a common name that everyone seemed to know. This was also information that the Demon Souls did not know. Gu Zheng immediately knew that the other party must be from here, which was why he came.
"I am Goddess Yu Fei's medicine boy. When I came out a long time ago, I was trapped here by a demon and could not escape. I hope you can help me. I will be very grateful." The voice was full of hope as it spoke to Gu Zheng.
"How can I help you? Did this green fog trap you? "Gu Zheng looked around. Other than the poisonous fog in front of him, there was nothing else.
"This poisonous fog was created by a Demon Soul. It is very powerful. You must not touch it. The other party has something that can open this place. You just need to defeat the other party." The other party quickly said.
"The other party comes every few days. You have to be careful. The other party is most proficient in poisonous gas. Even I can't completely cure it." The other party said worriedly.
"That's troublesome. The situation outside is very bad. I can't wait here for more than a few days. Let me see if I can force my way in."
Gu Zheng originally wanted the other party to lead him to Goddess Yu Fei, but thinking about how the other party had been trapped here for a long time and how Goddess Yu Fei seemed to have left her original place, it was obvious that she did not know where she was. Asking would be pointless.
Since the other party was Goddess Yu Fei's medicine boy, there must be some connection between them. If he rescued her, he could lead them to her and ask how to enter the Human Tiger Hall. That was Gu Zheng's idea.
"You have to be careful. This poisonous fog is very overbearing. If you breathe it in, you will instantly turn into a puddle of pus," the medicine boy continued.
Gu Zheng paid attention to his surroundings as he walked forward. He looked at the poisonous fog that was only a foot away from him.
The green fog seemed to have a life of its own. Strands of it kept coming out, changing into all kinds of forms. It wandered around the periphery before diving in.
Gu Zheng did not even know when a thin layer of green fog had covered his surface. However, it was blocked by a layer of golden light. It could not break in.
Feeling his magic power drain away, Gu Zheng frowned. A flame suddenly appeared in his palm. The poisonous fog around him was driven away by the flame.
However, the poisonous fog was only limited to a certain range. He could still sense it in an invisible space. If he was careless and exposed himself, the consequences would be dire.
The flame in his hand continued to grow. Soon, it was as big as a head. With a flick of his wrist, the fireball flew toward the poisonous fog in front of him.
The moment it entered the poisonous fog, the poisonous fog gathered from all directions. However, once it got close, it was evaporated by the heat. It could not get close at all.
However, when the fireball entered the poisonous fog, countless poisonous fog rushed over. It was like water extinguishing a fire. In less than three breaths, the fireball disappeared from the air. The poisonous fog did not show any signs of decreasing.
His brows furrowed even more. The short contact allowed him to roughly know that there was something different inside. It was obvious that normal methods would not work if he wanted to disperse the poisonous fog.
This was the only thing he had that could suppress the other party.
His hand waved again. A white flame the size of a fist condensed in the air again.
Although it was twice as small as before, the poisonous fog around him dissipated as soon as the white flame appeared.
As it slowly moved toward the poisonous fog in front of him, the originally calm poisonous fog was like boiling water.
Water can extinguish fire. Fire can extinguish water.
The poisonous fog wanted to use its special properties to drown out the flame like before. However, when it got halfway, the poisonous fog was burned away by an even hotter flame.
Although the white flame did not look as blazing as the previous fireball, its power was more than ten times stronger.
When the white flame steadily stopped at the entrance of the passage, it did not consume any of its power. However, one-tenth of the poisonous fog at the entrance had been burned away. Moreover, it was still decreasing at an extremely fast speed.
It would probably only take a short while for the poisonous fog to be completely destroyed.
Gu Zheng finally revealed a smile. He then turned around and walked back as if the outcome was already decided.
However, just as he took a step forward, a black lightning suddenly appeared in the air. It struck Gu Zheng's head with lightning speed and hit him in an instant.
A large amount of black light burst out from Gu Zheng's body. His body seemed to be heavily injured. His whole body was directly thrown to the side of the wall. He crashed into it heavily and then fell to the ground.
With a soft cry, a monster appeared in the air and flew down. In mid-air, a green light flew out from its mouth and rushed toward the white flame surrounded by the poisonous fog.
When the green light approached, it flashed again and turned into a small crystal green cover that enveloped the white flame, trapping it firmly in place.
Without the interference of the white flame, the small gap that had just formed was once again covered by the poisonous fog. However, if one looked closely, they would find that the fog had thinned out a lot.
The monster's body only paused in the air. After dealing with the white flame, its eyes flashed fiercely. The wings on its back flapped and it sped down toward the figure that had just gotten up.
As soon as the figure stood up, its body was already like the wind. The two sharp claws under its feet were already grabbing toward the chest in front of it.
A cold light flashed in the air and a short sword slashed toward the figure's head.
A two-pronged attack, a fatal blow.
The monster looked at the figure in front of it with a shocked expression. It quickly retreated and wanted to raise the weapon in its hand to block the short sword.
Unfortunately, it was too late. There was not much space in the hall. With just a move, the figure was already outside the wall. It was in a crack in the corner of the wall. There was no way to escape.
Perhaps because there was no hope of escaping, the figure gave up on blocking. Looking at the attack that was about to hit its body, its face showed a trace of a sneer, which made the monster a little confused.
However, it was too late. Its sharp claws had already pierced the figure's chest and the short sword had already slashed the figure's neck.
"Bang!"
A golden light exploded in front of its eyes. The figure in front of it was actually just an illusion. This made the monster extremely frightened. It flapped its wings and wanted to soar into the air, but it was a little too late.
Behind it, a whistling sound suddenly sounded.
Gu Zheng appeared behind it. He raised his huge fist and smashed it toward one of its wings.
Under his special sneak attack, even if the other party was aware at the last moment, it was still too late.
This place was specially prepared for it. There was no room for it to take a detour. It could only take this attack.
"Bang!"
Gu Zheng was prepared to hit the edge of the other party's wing. Only a "crack" sound was heard. Without saying anything, the other party's wing was directly broken. Its whole body flew out and crashed into the wall in front of it. This time, it was its turn to experience the pain just now.
However, even if the other party suffered a heavy blow, it still managed to adjust its body at the critical moment.
Its whole body turned horizontally and instantly stood upright in the air. Then, without looking at Gu Zheng, it used its only remaining wing to suddenly flap. A burst of air burst out from its body and its whole body instantly flew into the air.
Gu Zheng, who was following behind, did not have time to stop the other party's escape. However, he still threw a punch at the other party's back.
The whole hall exploded. A terrifying wave chased after the monster in the air. When the other party rose into the air and wanted to turn, it brushed past one of its sharp claws.
With an even more painful cry, the sharp claws directly exploded in the air, leaving behind a cloud of blood. However, the other party had completely escaped from Gu Zheng's pursuit.
Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the monster above. When he came in, he vaguely felt that he was being watched. That was why he deliberately lured the other party out. As expected, the other party was fooled.
Looking carefully at the monster above, it was not a monster, but a bird monster.
Its whole body was golden, and its eyes were bright. It was like a huge eagle, but its body was very thin and weak. There was a black crown on its head, which looked majestic.
Under its unbroken wing, a short sword was embedded in the feathers. It could dance at any time according to its will.
However, at that moment, the other party looked very miserable. The place where the sharp claws exploded was still dripping with blood. One of its wings was drooping, while the other flapped slowly in the air. It was directly injured by Gu Zheng's sneak attack.
The strange bird looked at Gu Zheng fiercely. Its eyes were full of hatred, and it wanted to tear him apart. However, it knew that it was no match for Gu Zheng. After remembering Gu Zheng's appearance, it turned around and flew up, wanting to leave this place first.
However, when it reached a narrow passage above, it found that a layer of golden light had covered it, completely blocking its escape route.
Behind it, there were waves of threats that were approaching it at an extremely fast speed.
Even if it lost a wing temporarily, its body was still very strong. With just a turn, it flew to the other side at an extremely fast speed. A few sword auras swept past where it was just and hit the wall, causing some dust to rise.
Gu Zheng would not let the other party go. He could not expose himself at all. Even if the Hero Spirit saw him, it was only controlled. As long as he did not appear in front of the Chaos Demon, it would not be able to sense his presence.
The strange bird screeched loudly. Its whole body paused in the air, and then it swooped down toward Gu Zheng.
It knew that if it did not severely injure or kill this enemy, it would not be able to leave.
While it was still in the air, its sharp beak opened slightly. A green light burst out from it, forming a finger-thick green light that flew at an extremely fast speed.
Gu Zheng originally wanted to wait for the other party to overestimate itself and walk into a trap. However, suddenly, his face changed slightly, and his whole body dodged to the side.
The green light in the air was just a blur, and it scattered into a large green fog. A green snake was hidden in the fog, and it was about to bite him.
Thinking about the strangeness of the other party's poisonous fog, Gu Zheng decided to avoid it first. Under the other party's condition, there was no need for him to fight it head-on. As long as he found the opportunity to deal a few heavy blows, the other party would definitely die without any suspense.
However, the hall was too small. The green snake wrapped in the green fog seemed to have locked onto Gu Zheng, and it continued to chase after him.
Gu Zheng wanted to wait for an opportunity to go behind the strange bird. His strategy of capturing the ringleader to capture the bandits had also failed. The strange bird seemed to have seen through his thoughts. Its body followed closely behind the green fog, and it did not give him a chance at all.
In just a few breaths, the entire hall was filled with the green fog.
Fortunately, the passage that they came from was also sealed, so it would not affect the brush. It was equivalent to the two of them being in a sealed space. When two enemies meet on a narrow path, the brave one wins.
Gu Zheng suddenly stopped in mid-air. The sword in his hand lit up, and a ray of light shot out, dispersing the green fog around him. At the same time, his wrist shook, and waves of golden runes emerged from the sword. They were like exploding thunder and fire, and they slashed towards the green snake that was pouncing on him.
The exploding thunder and fire dispersed the green fog around them, and the green snake was completely exposed in the air.
The green snake's eyes flashed with green light. The snake's forked tongue seemed to be suicidal as it rushed towards the tip of the sword. Its body lit up with a miserable green light, and the ice scales on its body reflected the light.
Seeing the other party's suicidal attack, Gu Zheng coldly snorted. His hands sped up, and at the same time, he saw the strange bird in front of him condense a black light on its black crown, ready to launch a new attack.
The moment the snake's forked tongue touched the tip of the sword, a green light touched it. However, the other party was also scattered in the air, and the sword continued to slash downwards.
The moment the sword touched the green snake, the green snake in front of him dissipated into a large green fog, and the surrounding space was once again filled.
However, Gu Zheng was shocked. That was because his opponent had not been defeated by him. Instead, he had taken the initiative to disperse.
"Kacha"
Before he could think about it, a thick black light condensed on top of the strange bird's head, and slashed towards Gu Zheng.
At the same time, the dissipated green snake suddenly appeared behind Gu Zheng. However, its body was clearly smaller, but it still did not affect its bite towards Gu Zheng's calf.
Gu Zheng was about to wave the Cloud Desolate Sword in his hand, but he discovered that the tip of the sword was emitting a green light, and a huge force came from above, making him unable to wave it. It was as if the Cloud Desolate Sword was nailed in the air.
At this moment, Gu Zheng was instantly surrounded, and he could even see the strange bird's carefree expression after getting its revenge.
"Hmph!"
Gu Zheng coldly snorted, and at the same time, a blue and a gold light flashed from his wrist. At the same time, his hand shook, and the green light on the sword suddenly disappeared. The lightning around the sword ignored the black light and directly flew towards the strange bird.
Just as the black light was about to land on his body, a misty blue water barrier suddenly rose around Gu Zheng. Just as the Green Snake behind him was about to succeed in its sneak attack, a golden stick smashed into its head, causing it to suddenly fall down. It dizzily charged downwards, landing on empty air.
Following that, Gu Zheng was directly submerged by the black light, but the water barrier in front of him constantly fluctuated, neutralizing the power of the opponent's attack. Not a trace of it leaked in and injured Gu Zheng.
The golden stick that was formed by the golden hoop continuously struck a few times, and changed into a golden rope in the air. It pulled the green snake, which was still in the midst of its dizziness, and tied it up from head to toe. Following that, it suddenly tightened, and the green snake completely turned into a green fog.
On the other side, the short sword under the strange snake's wings was also floating in the air. As the sword flickered, it completely destroyed the golden lightning in front of it.
However, after the lightning was blocked, it discovered that a figure had already appeared in front of it. The black light had already completely disappeared, and the other party had even taken the opportunity to fly over.
"Go to hell."
Gu Zheng shouted, and immediately slashed towards the other party.
"Bang!"
An even thicker green fog suddenly exploded in the air, blocking Gu Zheng's line of sight.
Gu Zheng looked in front of him, and only a damaged black crown was left in the air. The other party's figure also followed the green snake's example and disappeared in front of him.
As far as the eye could see, the entire space was filled with green fog.
