"Bang!"
A figure was ejected and fell heavily in front of the memorial archway.
Seeing this, the two people below immediately rushed up and quickly approached the figure.
The body that was ejected was twitching slightly on the ground, but compared to the people who were eliminated before, his movements were much smaller. He didn't seem to be tortured by the fear of death.
"Hmph, I thought he was very capable, but it turned out that he didn't come out very quickly. It doesn't seem that strange." A voice sounded from below, causing the people around to snicker and agree.
"Forget it, there's nothing to see. Since we're all here, it's different. Can he really turn the sky upside down? To be honest, he's not as good as us. Maybe he really died after he died." Another person said disdainfully and then left with his team.
"Yes, let's disperse."
The others also thought so. Soon, the crowd that formed a wall around them dispersed again. Only a few people had nothing to do and were looking at them, as if they wanted to see a joke.
"Gu Zheng, relax a lot. It'll be over soon."
Ying Xi said softly to Gu Zheng. She didn't dare to touch Gu Zheng's body. Before he recovered, anyone who touched him would have to experience the fear of death together with him. She couldn't ease the time he had to endure.
At this time, Gu Zheng was ejected from the memorial archway. Even if he could hear Ying Xi's words clearly, he couldn't do anything. At this time, his whole body seemed to be out of control. That feeling was even more terrible than the moment of death.
After all, death was just a little bit of time before death. But this kind of death that made you experience fear repeatedly was a situation worse than death.
People who didn't have great perseverance would even choose to die to avoid this feeling. Unfortunately, before you fully experienced it, your body didn't belong to you. You couldn't die even if you wanted to.
And after experiencing it, without the feeling of being there, it seemed that very few people would die stupidly.
However, the young man who had provoked the bald man wasn't going to beat him when he was down. Since he had failed once, he wouldn't be able to succeed a second time. He didn't need to worry so much. The bald man probably wouldn't be able to recover in half a year. It could be said that the bald man had completely failed.
It had to be known that after they failed once, even if their bodies passed, the scars in their hearts would take a long time to fade. Otherwise, they would only experience the feeling of death.
Generally, they would need at least ten years to completely adjust their state. If they were unlucky, it would take even longer. If they couldn't bear it, they would have already jumped down and chosen to commit suicide. Or they would attack crazily and randomly.
"How is it? Don't say that I bullied you. As long as you admit your mistake, I'll let bygones be bygones. After all, you only blocked me a few times........................
.. "" Nonsense. Do you think I'm afraid of you? If you guys come at me, I'll beat you until you're looking for your teeth on the ground, "the bald man said disdainfully.
"Haha, I admit that I might not be able to beat you. So what? We have a few people, and you have a few people. Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. If others wanted to find trouble with you, I would block them for you. I want to beat you up personally."
As the young man spoke, he waved his hand. His subordinates behind him immediately surrounded him. They were also grinning and clenching their fists. As soon as the young man gave the order, they would immediately surround the bald man and beat him up.
"Who's afraid of who? Isn't it just a beating? Who hasn't been beaten before? Ying Xi, stand behind me." The bald man stood up and looked around without any fear.
"Haha, amazing. Or you guys can enter the memorial archway. I guarantee that no one will dare to bully you again. It seems like you guys only have one last chance left." The young man gave a thumbs up and said immediately.
At this time, the bald man and Ying Xi were standing next to Gu Zheng. If they accidentally touched him, then everyone would suffer that pain.
Generally, people who failed three times wouldn't take the initiative to pick a fight. After all, the other party's chances were slim, so it was better not to provoke them.
"You're not the same. How much strength do you have left after living for so long?" The bald man said fiercely.
"Pull them out and beat them up." The young man's face twitched, and then he said directly.
The five people surrounding him immediately rushed over. It wasn't like they didn't know how to deal with the other party. So what if they took a few heavy blows? After dragging the other party out, they would be at their mercy.
The shadows of both sides immediately dispersed, revealing their figures. There were three Goblin souls on the other side, but the young man was a human.
However, at this time, Gu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. He grabbed the two enemies beside the bald man, one in each hand.
How could the other party have imagined that Gu Zheng would appear? His hand was easily caught by Gu Zheng as if it had delivered itself to his doorstep.
Gu Zheng wanted to take advantage of the situation to pull the other party over and give them a heavy blow. He didn't expect that the two Goblin souls in front of him didn't want to resist at all. They immediately screamed in panic, as if they were suffering endless pain. Their companions were so scared that they suddenly stepped back, not knowing what happened.
As his hands loosened, the two people in front of him directly fell to the ground, wailing. It was as if they had suffered a heavy blow. Their voices were filled with pitiful screams.
Gu Zheng was also stunned. What happened to the other party? He didn't do anything, but why did it feel like he had done something evil?
He looked at the young man beside him. The few of them were suddenly scared and stepped back. It was as if Gu Zheng was a scourge. Not only them, even the bald man and Ying Xi moved away from Gu Zheng.
"What's going on?" Although the failure made Gu Zheng feel very annoyed, and the pain just now couldn't be eliminated in a short time, the situation in front of him was too strange. It made him very surprised.
"Gu Zheng, are you okay?" The bald man looked at Gu Zheng's clear eyes and asked tentatively.
"Of course I'm okay. The pain is really unbearable, but it's over. If you don't believe me, take a look." Gu Zheng looked at the bald man and told the truth. At this time, there was nothing wrong with his body. However, if he thought about what happened just now, even he would shiver a few times.
"Okay, okay. It's good that you're okay. I won't look. Let's go back and talk." The bald man saw Gu Zheng's outstretched hand and subconsciously stepped back to avoid it. Then, he realized that he was wrong and quickly said.
"Okay, this time I was really unlucky. I was almost there. It's a pity." Gu Zheng nodded and said.
"Really? Then tell us later what happened. But it doesn't matter if you failed this time. There are at least two more times. "Ying Xi comforted and changed the topic.
With Gu Zheng leading the way, they walked back to their original position, leaving behind the two people who were still howling in grief.
"The other party is fine. Can you really feel the pain?" The young man didn't stop them at all, but he heard the other party's words clearly and immediately shouted to the ground.
"Ah? I don't think so. " One of them heard the young man's words and stopped twitching in confusion. He carefully felt that there was nothing wrong with his body. The feeling just now was more like he was scaring himself.
"If you don't, then what are you shouting for? Get up. " The young man looked at this person. Although he said that he didn't feel anything, his face was still a little distorted. He walked directly to the other party, grabbed him, and lifted him up.
His nervous heart relaxed like a stone falling to the ground when he grabbed the other party. His body didn't show any reaction, but his body still trembled subconsciously. However, he tried hard to suppress it.
When the wailing demon soul lying on the ground saw this scene, he felt that he was too sensitive and quickly stood up in shame. However, his body still trembled and the shadow in his heart was triggered. He couldn't go down for a while.
"Boss, are we still going to find trouble with them?" Another demon soul who didn't have any contact with Gu Zheng walked up to him and asked.
"Not now. That human seems a little strange. How did he recover so quickly? Even a demon soul with the strength of a Grand Heavenly Immortal would have to lie down for a few days. Let's wait first." The young man looked at the bald man and the others in the distance and thought for a while before shaking his head and saying.
Even if they were at the same cultivation level, the other party didn't lack memories. In addition, he recovered so quickly. It was really strange. However, even if his cultivation level was higher, they wouldn't be a match for him. It wasn't like they hadn't seen it before.
Just when they gave up looking for trouble, Gu Zheng seemed to have forgotten the pain he was suffering and asked the bald man with interest.
"Why are you guys so scattered? Isn't it better to gather together to protect yourselves? Why are you guys fighting like this?"
Although it was impossible for serious injuries to appear, the pain in his body was real.
"It was said that there were such cases in the past, but they were all together to vent the anger and fear in their hearts. This kind of situation is better. If everyone wants to vent, they can find someone. Even if they are beaten, they can vent a lot. Otherwise, they would have gone crazy long ago." Ying Xi at the side quickly said.
"Yes, it's not the more the better. It's not to bully others, but to vent. After all, everyone here is in trouble. However, if we don't do this, there's no good way. This place is too small and we have to suffer the loss of strength at every moment. Even if we don't move, it's only delaying the time of death. The pressure is too great and there are always some who can't take it and go crazy." The bald man added.
"Over the years, I don't know how many people have died. Most of them entered and didn't come out." Ying Xi suddenly said with emotion.
"Didn't come out? Didn't they come out automatically?" Gu Zheng felt a little strange and couldn't help but ask.
When he was caught by the ghost woman, it was as if he had died. The pain he suffered was magnified ten times, and the speed of his disappearance was ten times slower. At that time, it was almost like he was repeating the feeling of death every breath.
Coupled with the unstoppable fear, it was equivalent to dying thousands of times. Just thinking about it was terrifying.
"I didn't tell you before. You only have a choice on the third time because after you come out, you can't enter again. You can only wait for death outside. If you give up inside, you should die directly after coming out. After all, you never appear again." Ying Xi said in a low voice.
This was because they would face the same choice next time. Would they watch themselves die slowly without hope and wait for their companions to break through? There was a slim chance that they would be saved, or would they be released directly? Until now, they hadn't thought about it.
It was too hard to choose.
Gu Zheng was silent at this time. He didn't expect it to be like this. What about the people above? Was there still a chance? Unfortunately, no one knew the information above.
Perhaps because the topic was too heavy, the three of them didn't reply for a while. It wasn't until they sat down that the bald man couldn't help but ask.
"Just now, you said you were almost there. How much was it?"
"You can say that. The passage to leave that place was right in front of me. At most, I would have been able to escape in ten breaths of time. Unfortunately, their bell was too powerful. Even if it was right in front of me, I couldn't withstand it and was caught up. As for the other monster, it was very fast, but it seemed to have some problems with its strength. Fortunately, it didn't appear at the same time, but it's over."
Gu Zheng said indifferently. Although his luck this time wasn't too good or too bad, and he wasn't sure if he could pass the next time, what was lost was in the past. He could only learn from it and prepare for the next time.
"What a pity, you were just one step away." Ying Xi's face revealed a regretful expression. He really felt sorry for Gu Zheng, but then he seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"How did you recover so quickly in the end? Is your body different from our spirit bodies?"
If it weren't for the fact that Monster Souls couldn't possess a body and couldn't condense a body, Gu Zheng's body would have been the greatest temptation.
"It shouldn't be. I can also feel the boundless pain, but I'm already used to it. It won't take long. As long as I overcome the thoughts in my mind, the pain will naturally subside. But the worries in my heart, because I need half a month to eliminate them, I won't be able to enter." Gu Zheng said straightforwardly.
Of course, he was lying a little. After all, he naturally knew about his special situation and couldn't tell them everything. Unfortunately, this kind of ordeal couldn't train Gu Zheng's mind at all.
"You are … too surprising."
The bald man and Ying Xi looked at each other, their eyes also revealing shock. It seemed that they hadn't expected this result. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to care, the bald man said dryly.
"I just encountered a lot of things. You have to know that there are definitely people more powerful than me." Gu Zheng said lightly.
"Even so, it's still too unexpected. But now I believe that you will definitely be able to break through."
Ying Xi also said, his face unconsciously revealing a look of admiration. Although Gu Zheng was right, this kind of person was really rare. No wonder the other party came here with his body. He was probably an extraordinary person above.
However, they were able to recover some of their consciousness again, which was already a great blessing. As for why Gu Zheng came here to chase the enemy, they tacitly didn't ask.
But thinking about these years, even if another person came here with the same body, only two people had appeared. It could be seen how difficult it was.
"Thank you for your kind words. If I can break through, I will definitely bring you guys up." Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kind intentions. We will never separate, and we believe that one of us will definitely be able to go up." The bald man grinned. Obviously, he was very satisfied with Gu Zheng's words, but he still calmly refused.
Gu Zheng thought highly of the other party, but didn't say much on this issue. Instead, he said, "I need to rest for a while.
If there is a need, come here. No matter who dares to come, I can deal with them. "
"With your fast recovery, I'm afraid no one will dare to trouble you for a while." Ying Xi heard Gu Zheng's confidence. Only someone who really didn't care about these words would have the confidence to say such words. However, he still said it to let Gu Zheng rest at ease.
Gu Zheng nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and began to adjust his breathing.
The mark imprinted in his heart had to be removed as soon as possible. Otherwise, facing the inside would only make him more afraid, and it would become an obstacle to his future cultivation.
The bald man and Ying Xi didn't disturb Gu Zheng. They quietly retreated to the side, guarding the surroundings for him. They were mainly afraid that the surrounding people would disturb him.
In any case, they didn't care about this little bit of time. Even if there were people around, they knew that they wouldn't disturb someone who had just come out.
However, just as they thought, Gu Zheng's matter instantly spread among the crowd. Of course, it wasn't his failure, but the speed of his recovery.
In addition, there were people who deliberately came here to inquire. The bald man didn't hide anything and directly told them what Gu Zheng said. Such a tenacious mind and confident tone simply surprised them. They were even more certain that the other party was not to be trifled with. His cultivation was definitely not something that they, who were a group of Celestial Immortals at most, could afford to offend.
Moreover, the crowd changed their previous opinions. After all, the other party's cultivation seemed to have at least reached the Grand Heavenly Realm. He had become a person that they had to look up to in life and in death.
Most people thought that the other party would definitely be able to get out. After all, most people like him had succeeded. However, a small number of people also thought that the other party had only been here for a short time. Now that there was only half of the time left, it would be difficult for him to rush out.
Benefiting from the fame brought by Gu Zheng, a few people that the bald man thought highly of before joined again, including those who left last time. A simple team was formed. Even without Gu Zheng, at least they wouldn't be as helpless as before.
Time passed little by little. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. At this time, the discussion about Gu Zheng didn't stop. Every day, countless people would look over.
Now, everyone wanted to see if the other party could make it out. Those who originally planned to barge in also stopped and wanted to find out. Anyway, to them, a year and a day didn't make much difference. Especially when there were too few things to do here. Gu Zheng's matter was enough for them to discuss for a long time.
Gu Zheng also woke up half a month later. Naturally, he knew what was happening outside. Looking at the red crystal with a crack in his hand, he gave the bald man and the others a reassuring look. Then, he walked towards the archway again.
Around him, there was a group of people who were looking at him with various gazes.
At this time, a figure appeared beside the archway out of thin air. Looking at the empty surroundings, she was a little surprised. This was because there should be many people who had failed three times guarding this place. However, they didn't seem to be here. They seemed to be watching over there.
This caused a smile to appear at the corner of her mouth. Then, she walked directly to the decorated archway.
