That terrifying voice was still drifting in the air, and Gu Zheng even began to take a few steps back. The layer of red light on his body could definitely fool the ghost girls, but this unknown creature gave him a bad feeling.
However, just as he took two steps back, a large amount of black hair rushed out from the corner in front of him. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around Gao Bo, who was still on the ground. Before Gu Zheng could react, Gao Bo's body had already disappeared from the ground, and the other party's figure did not appear at all.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath, wondering if he should continue forward. The other party's ghost seemed to be even more terrifying. Just from its aura alone, it was several times stronger than the ghost girls.
However, if he turned back, it was very likely that there would still be no way out. But how would he know if he didn't try?
Immediately, Gu Zheng turned back to see if there was a way out of this place.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Zheng's figure appeared again, and he carefully approached the silver door.
It wasn't that there was no way out, but Gu Zheng felt like he was going in another direction. In the middle, he still had to pass through a large group of buildings. He didn't know how long it would take, so he might as well see what was on the other side. The more dangerous a place was, the more likely it was to leave this place.
After passing through the place where Gao Bo had been, Gu Zheng quickly arrived at the silver door. As he expected, there was a silver lock hanging on it, completely blocking his path.
This door was also embedded in the mountain wall, and it was surrounded by tall mountain walls. There was only one path.
Looking at the place where the ghost had come from, he didn't hesitate and carefully walked over. This path was obviously opened up. As he moved forward, the mountain wall above him became lower and lower. In the end, the mountain wall was above him, and he had to pay attention to the protruding stone wall to avoid bumping into it.
By this time, he had arrived at a cave. Although there were no candles, there were some spots of silver light on the mountain wall, making the place not as dark as before. It felt even brighter than outside.
Gu Zheng gently walked over, holding the bell in his hand. Since the other party had brought him here and given him the bell, it was clear that it wasn't just for him to avoid the ghosts.
It didn't take long for Gu Zheng to reach the end of the cave. Surrounded by mountain walls, there was a smooth platform in the middle. The most eye-catching thing on the platform was a silver key. Beside it was a red and white crystal.
Gu Zheng looked around, but he didn't see the shadow of the other party at all. He didn't know if the other party wasn't here, or if the other party was waiting for him to get the key and suddenly jump out.
This familiar trap reminded him of the meatball lying in ambush below. This trap was exactly the same, but if one wasn't prepared, they might really fall into the trap.
Gu Zheng carefully approached Gu Lai. Then, with his back facing the thing below, he reached for the white crystal with one hand and the silver key with the other hand.
As soon as the white crystal was in Gu Zheng's hand, Gu Zheng's whole body tensed up. It was as if the other party would appear immediately. Then, he reached down with both hands at the same time and grabbed the other key. His body instantly flew out.
His whole body was like an arrow released from a bow. Without looking back, he ran along the route he had thought of long ago. At this time, he could leave this route even if he closed his eyes. He wasn't afraid of the light around him suddenly being extinguished and causing trouble for himself.
He was fully prepared. As long as the other party didn't block in front of him, he wasn't afraid at all. Even if he was blocked, he still had the white crystal in his hand.
However, at this time, there were no signs in the surroundings. It was as if the ghost wasn't here at all. When Gu Zheng arrived in front of the silver door, the surroundings were still calm. There was nothing that frightened Gu Zheng at all.
This made him breathe a big sigh of relief. His tense body also relaxed. He didn't expect to get the thing so easily. Even he felt that it was unbelievable.
After taking out the silver key and opening the silver door in front of him, Gu Zheng continued to walk forward. At the same time that he stepped into this passage, a loud scream came from the cave where he had just obtained the silver key.
Gu Zheng's face changed. He felt a terrifying aura coming from behind him. He immediately ran forward.
"Wu"
The sound that sounded like crying suddenly rang in Gu Zheng's ears. His body, which had just taken a step forward, staggered. However, he used his arm to support himself on the side of the mountain wall to stabilize himself and continued to run forward.
However, the owner of the voice was obviously faster than Gu Zheng. After just turning two corners, Gu Zheng clearly felt that the other party's voice was much closer. However, he couldn't increase his speed at all.
The other party didn't seem to need to see him at all. It seemed to be able to determine Gu Zheng's position and follow him.
In the next moment, Gu Zheng's face became a little serious. This was because there was a cliff in front of him. There was a plank that was only the size of an arm lying on top of it. Huge gusts of wind kept whistling in the air.
Only by passing through this dangerous passage could he reach the other party's position.
Gu Zheng's body only paused for a moment. Hearing the sound behind him getting closer and closer, he stepped forward again and directly walked onto the plank that was like a wooden bridge.
What made him feel slightly relieved was that the surrounding wind sounded very terrifying. That was because in this enclosed space, the sound was amplified. In fact, Gu Zheng, who was in mid-air, wasn't that strong. It just made it more difficult for him to maintain his body and pass through here.
However, no matter what, his speed had slowed down a lot. Below him was an endless darkness. If he fell down again, he was afraid that there would be no place to teleport away. Only death would await him.
As he walked carefully on the plank, Gu Zheng had already stepped over two cliffs in a short period of time. From the side, he felt his way forward and walked to the front of the third plank that was slightly wider.
At this moment, in front of the first plank, a girl dressed in silver appeared in the air. The sound from her mouth didn't stop.
Gu Zheng turned his head slightly to take a look. He was even more shocked. It wasn't that the other party was a petite girl who looked like she was six or seven years old, nor was it that the other party had long black hair that was even longer than an adult's. He was afraid that the other party would pass through the air. If that happened, he would be in trouble.
However, the more worried he was, the more it would happen. The girl floated in the air and flew straight towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng cursed in his heart. He stepped onto the third plank and walked in that direction. From the looks of it, the other party would catch up to him very soon.
In fact, just as he left this plank, the girl had already caught up to him halfway. Looking at Gu Zheng who was not far away, she suddenly let out another loud scream.
That loud scream directly pierced through Gu Zheng who was halfway, causing his vision to become blurry. He felt as if his head was about to explode.
Especially when he saw everything in front of him spinning, it was as if he was drunk. He couldn't control his body and wanted to tilt to the side.
Even though Gu Zheng's mind was extremely clear, his body was not under his control at all. At this time, not to mention moving forward, it was already very good that he didn't fall to the side.
Gu Zheng made a prompt decision. He slightly bent his hand and flicked it. A white crystal flew out from his palm. In mid-air, the white light suddenly flashed and exploded into a large area of white light.
The scream that made Gu Zheng dizzy suddenly stopped, and he immediately returned to normal.
Gu Zheng saw that the girl in the air was also covering her head, as if she was enduring something. However, her body didn't fall as he expected. Instead, she steadily stopped in mid-air.
Although it was regretful, Gu Zheng took advantage of the other party's distraction to immediately walk to the plank and leave this place quickly.
What Gu Zheng didn't expect was that the white crystal's interference would be so shockingly long. After crossing the remaining planks, the girl finally recovered from that state.
Looking at Gu Zheng in the distance, the girl's face became slightly angry. The crying in the air sounded again. Her body floated towards him, and at the same time, her shiny black hair continued to extend. She quickly chased after Gu Zheng who had already disappeared around the corner.
Gu Zheng didn't expect this at all. After coming to this passage, he sped up and ran forward, hoping to find a way to get rid of the other party before she caught up to him.
However, after running a few steps, he heard a strange sound behind him. Turning his head, he saw that the sky full of black hair had already circled around and was rushing towards him.
The speed was so fast that Gu Zheng didn't even have a chance to react. In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded and quickly pressed against him.
His heart suddenly lit up. Just as he was about to wave the bell in his hand, the bell in his hand automatically vibrated. Then, the two bells on it suddenly exploded, forming a tough red barrier that firmly enveloped him.
The black hair only surrounded Gu Zheng, but it couldn't break through the barrier at all.
Gu Zheng had just let out a sigh of relief when he thought that the bell was indeed something. Another bell cracked, and a large red light rushed out from the light barrier. The black hair began to burn, and in the blink of an eye, the black hair wrapped around him was burned clean. It even rushed towards the girl.
A scream came from behind. At this moment, Gu Zheng was using the red barrier to escape again. While the other party was heavily injured, he had to completely get rid of her. If the other party stretched out her hair again, he didn't know if his two remaining bells would be able to hold on.
He also didn't want to waste them all here. If he could bring them to the back, it would definitely help him a lot.
Gu Zheng quickly left this place. But what made him feel that his luck was too bad was that after turning around a few times, he couldn't hear the girl's shout. However, his footsteps also came to a stop.
At this moment, he was standing on a slightly higher rock. Below him was a pool of water that was several hundred meters deep. Behind him was an endless stream that flowed around him and into the pool below.
And in front of him was a dead end. He was also sure that on the way here, there had been no forks in the road. This made him feel very awkward.
"Wu!"
Just as he was hesitating, the girl's voice rang out again. It seemed that she had already caught up.
"I don't care!"
Gu Zheng steeled his heart and directly jumped down. As long as the pool was deep enough, he definitely wouldn't be fine.
Looking at the pool below getting closer and closer, they could clearly see that there was sufficient depth under the clear water surface. Gu Zheng had already stretched his body in the air, preparing to jump down.
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard.
In the middle of the pool, a huge wave of water burst out. He could see a figure nimbly swimming below. With a burst of speed, it reached the shore and revealed its head.
"That was close. Just a little bit more."
Gu Zheng touched the water stains on his face. He was a little worried. At that time, he had been just a little bit away from the bottom. There was no need to think about the consequences of crashing into it. Originally, he had hoped that this red barrier would help him, but in the face of such a huge impact, it didn't have the slightest reaction.
"I don't believe that it can still catch up this time."
After climbing to the shore, Gu Zheng raised his head and looked up. In his heart, he angrily thought that if it was in the outside world, he would be able to crush it with one hand. Here, he was in an even more miserable state.
He could also see that. It was impossible for the ghost here to have the strength of a Celestial Immortal. He didn't know whether or not its cultivation had also been suppressed. However, even if it recovered its cultivation, he had absolute confidence in killing it.
But now, its cultivation had been suppressed to such a state. This magic treasure was really powerful. Now, it was still ownerless. If it was controlled by someone and taken in, it wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
This thing was definitely a natural treasure. He had never heard of it before. He didn't know if it had been subdued by someone.
Gu Zheng's mind was filled with thoughts. When his strength had almost recovered, he bitterly smiled. He was still bitterly struggling here and was actually thinking of unrealistic ideas. It should be known that Wen Tianhou was still outside. The other party might have already known that there was nothing here and had put out an all-out arrest order for him.
However, Gu Zheng was wrong about this. Because the other party thought that they were going to die, he didn't care at all.
Putting away those messy thoughts, Gu Zheng was about to leave when he suddenly heard the faint cry of the girl. He couldn't help but stretch his head out to take a look. His expression once again changed.
"Just what kind of enmity do you have with me? What kind of enmity do you have with me? Why are you chasing me so relentlessly?"
Gu Zheng looked at the girl and couldn't help but feel vexed. At this time, the girl's beautiful hair had all been burned away, leaving only a little bit on her head. She looked very miserable. At least he didn't have to worry about her using her hair to entangle him.
Although he was vexed, Gu Zheng immediately lifted his foot and continued to run forward. Behind him was a dead end, so he had no other choice.
After entering the passage, he entered a somewhat dilapidated courtyard. The surrounding area was filled with dilapidated wooden houses that no one had maintained. It looked like this place had been abandoned for a long time.
However, on this small street, there were actually two ghost girls. The bells in their hands looked dull as they stood there in a daze.
Gu Zheng was slightly relieved. With the red barrier around them, the ghost girls wouldn't be able to discover his identity. They ran straight through the passageway and quickly ran inside.
While he was running, Gu Zheng suddenly heard the sound of something tearing through the air behind him. Turning his head, he saw a red beam of light rapidly approaching him from behind. As for the girl, she had already appeared in the distance. Needless to say, this thing had to have been released by her.
However, this matter didn't worry Gu Zheng at all. Because at the same time he saw it, the bell in his hand actually rang by itself. One of the bells automatically fell off and turned into a red light that also rushed towards the other party.
"Boom!" A loud sound rang out.
The two collided in the middle. A huge explosion rose in the air. The surrounding houses were instantly turned into ruins by the impact.
Feeling the violent explosion behind him, Gu Zheng was secretly shocked. Didn't the other party's cultivation not break through to the Heaven Immortal Realm? How could it be so powerful? One had to know that he thought that the other party's power wasn't strong at all. If the other party's attack exploded beside him, he could only pray that the red light on his body would be effective.
Seeing this, he sped up even more. Now that he was full of energy, he was running very fast. At this moment, his bell also became lighter. Looking down, the original bell tree slowly turned into a ball of golden light and dissipated, leaving only the bell at the bottom for him.
This made him even more depressed. He originally thought that he could bring it to the back, but now there was only one left. It was really too depressing.
In front of him appeared a somewhat shabby door. It was dozens of feet wide and looked like it had once been glorious.
After rushing through the door, Gu Zheng immediately continued to run to the side. At this moment, there were mountain walls on both sides. There were also piles of wood beside them, as if it was half-built.
Gu Zheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. However, he could only brace himself and walk forward because this was the only way.
After only a dozen breaths of time, Gu Zheng looked at the blocked road in front of him and helplessly stopped. Although he could see the road through the cracks, the huge wooden wall completely blocked the road ahead like a city wall.
He didn't believe that this was a dead end. Seeing that the last bell in his hand didn't respond, he immediately looked around. His eyes swept across the surroundings, and suddenly, his eyes lit up. Because above, there was a floating ladder that led directly to the top.
Gu Zheng put away the bell and took two steps back. Just as he was about to rush up, a figure rushed over from the distance. It continued to make that scalp-numbing sound and rushed towards Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng didn't ask at all. Instead, he sped up and suddenly jumped when he reached the bottom of the mountain wall. Then, using a protrusion on the mountain wall, he grabbed towards the ladder above.
Something that made Gu Zheng feel a bit awkward happened. Originally, he thought that he would be able to grab the ladder directly, but now, his entire body began to fall down.
However, his reaction was extremely fast. The black thread on his body instantly grabbed onto the mountain wall. At the same time, he stepped on the wall and directly grabbed the ladder. Then, just as he was about to use the protrusion to climb up, the girl's hair suddenly flung back. Accompanied by a scream, the hair that had originally been gone crazily once more grew out.
However, just as it grew out, it was cut off from the top of her head. Like countless sharp blades, it shot towards the ladder above Gu Zheng. It looked like it wanted to shoot him down.
This time, Gu Zheng's expression changed. At this time, he was simply too late to stop it. The other side was clearly smarter than he had imagined.
Bang!
At this time, a black crystal ball was suddenly thrown down from above. It suddenly exploded in midair, and a black energy instantly rushed out. The hair in the air and the girl below seemed to have stopped in time. They didn't move at all, causing Gu Zheng to be stunned.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and come up."
A voice above his head woke Gu Zheng up with a start.
