By the side of the huge red ship.
Gu Zheng and his small boat were already by the side. There was no need for him to worry at all. When the boat approached, a red rope automatically hooked onto it. All he had to do was to climb up.
"Don't you have anything to say? Or are you going to go in with me and help me escape?" Gu Zheng looked at the black cat in front of him and said.
"Nothing, I also hope that you can defeat that demon fox. He also blocked my way out. Otherwise, I would have left long ago. At that time, I only did it because you trusted me. I have no ill intentions towards you." The black cat stood up and said to Gu Zheng.
"I know. How about you help me? Together? "Gu Zheng shrugged and said to him.
If he didn't know from the good dragon that the elixir had evil intentions, he might have believed it. But of course, he wouldn't show it. He just looked skeptical.
"I'm afraid I can't. This place doesn't belong to anyone. I can help you in the next area. These ghosts are all placed by the other party. I can't control them. If I go in, I will also fall into a state where I have no cultivation. More importantly, the will of this place has been awakened by you. If it sees me, I will be dead. So you can only rely on yourself." The black cat said frankly.
"Well, it seems that you can't help me in the next area." Gu Zheng stood under the red rope and said.
"If you can enter the demon fox's lair, I will definitely help you. But now, I can't do anything. After all, my strength can only be of some use in the front." The black cat understood Gu Zheng's meaning, but still said.
Maybe it felt that it didn't know what to say. The black cat's voice faded and it disappeared from the ship.
Gu Zheng pursed his lips. The other party just didn't want to help him. It even had a feeling of waiting for a fisherman to reap the benefits. The other party had been here for so long. Even the big man could make something without a teacher. Why would it need him?
If it didn't want to help, then so be it. But Gu Zheng remembered it in his heart.
Seeing that the other party left, Gu Zheng didn't delay. He pulled the rope and quickly climbed up the red ship. His position was at the front of the ship, which was also the only entrance to the main hall.
On the red ship, there were candles lit and he could see clearly. But looking at the main hall in front of him, the windows of some rooms were clearly open but there was no light at all. It was pitch black, which made one feel fear from the bottom of one's heart.
However, Gu Zheng was full of confidence. Just the things in his hands were enough to guarantee that he would encounter many accidents. No matter how terrifying it was inside, he wasn't afraid.
Of course, he knew that he wasn't teleporting away through this place, and he'd found the hidden spot that led to the abyss ahead. According to what the black cat had said, the opponent's strength wasn't inferior to a peak Golden Immortal, so he naturally had to think of a way to weaken the opponent.
............. If......................................................
He pushed open the heavy door. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see anything at all. A familiar light lit up on his body and immediately lit up the surroundings.
Gu Zheng walked in confidently. Even if it was a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, he had to explore it.
As soon as he entered, Gu Zheng found that he was in a huge room. He groped around and quickly figured out the place.
The surrounding cabinets were scattered around, but most of them were empty. Occasionally, there were a few pieces of broken porcelain on them. What surprised Gu Zheng was that there was a staircase at the side.
Gu Zheng went up to take a look. Now, if he wanted to find the hidden place, he had to find a mirror with blood light. It was similar to the mirror that he had been teleported to before. Because Wu Fan had been there before, he knew the situation there.
However, because the position was also changing and the other party couldn't go there without orders, he could only rely on him to cover. As for how to go there together, he knew that the other party must have done something to the shoes on his feet.
He quickly came down from above. There was only a corridor above and there was nothing at all.
And in this spacious room, there was only one entrance at the front.
"Creak"
When Gu Zheng approached the door, it actually opened on its own, as if it was welcoming him.
A cold Qi came out from inside, causing his whole body to feel cold. Even the crystal's light flickered a few times.
Gu Zheng took a deep breath and suppressed the other emotions in his heart. He directly walked in.
"Bang"
Just as he walked in, the door behind him suddenly closed with a loud noise, giving Gu Zheng a fright. He tried to push the door, but found that he was completely locked inside and couldn't get out. This was within his expectations.
Fortunately, Wu Fan had found the crystal before. Otherwise, in this place without any candlelight, wouldn't it be a dead end? No matter how many things there were, he couldn't see anything.
Even so, Gu Zheng could feel the uncontrollable nervousness in the bottom of his heart. After all, he could only see a small distance around him. In his eyes, the outside was always a dark area. It was as if ghosts could rush out of the darkness at any time.
This kind of extreme pressure made him feel the same as when he first entered this place. Facing the unknown, he could only run.
Gu Zheng slowly walked on the wooden floor. He could clearly feel the vibration of the soles of his feet. Even if he walked normally, he wouldn't have so much time. At least it allowed him to relax a lot. He didn't have to worry about the sound of his footsteps.
There were many independent houses in this place. Gu Zheng pushed open the wooden door to the side and gently closed it. He then began to size up the place.
This place wasn't small, but it wasn't small either. In the corner, there was a wooden bed. There was nothing on it. There were also some neat tables next to it. It seemed like it was a place for people to rest.
But as for who it was for, Gu Zheng didn't know. In any case, the entire room was empty. There wasn't even a cabinet to store things.
After looking around, he left this place. However, he didn't close the door. Instead, he left it open to let him know that he had seen this place.
Because he wanted to find the mirror, he had to look through all of the places he had passed so that he wouldn't miss anything.
Because he didn't have a candle, he could only use this kind of stupid method to let him know.
However, since he had already memorized this path, the chances of him coming back were not very high.
Following this, Gu Zheng started to search around this place. Gradually, he became more and more courageous. Normally, when he moved around, he would run as fast as he could and would make the least amount of noise.
Half a day passed, and Gu Zheng didn't know how big this place was. Along the way, it was completely empty.
However, there were some abnormally luxurious rooms that were three times bigger than normal rooms. There were some cabinets for storing things, but after looking through them, Zhao Fu found that they were completely empty.
Gu Zheng knew that he had already prepared himself for a tough battle. The only thing that made him uneasy was that he didn't know where Meng Zhen had gone. Wu Fan only knew that she was definitely in the area ahead. That was where the black cat's power was stronger. Other than that, he didn't know anything else.
If Wu Fan died, he would also be implicated before entering the third floor.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to ask about Wu Fan, nor did he want to ask for this treasure. He just wanted to take Meng Zhen and leave this place. If he had known earlier, he would have asked the black cat.
However, Gu Zheng knew that if he left this place smoothly, he would have to face Wen Tianhou. Otherwise, how could he leave this black prison so smoothly? If he had this treasure, even if Wen Tianhou came, he wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"Sigh."
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng felt that he should try to take this treasure first. After all, leaving this place was just a temporary escape from the trap. Right now, he only hoped that Meng Zhen could survive. He didn't expect her to do anything. He just hoped that she wouldn't kill him.
"Ding ling."
A familiar sound rang in his ears. Gu Zheng stopped and listened carefully. Then, he left the direction of the other party and started to explore in another direction.
"Hu hu."
Under a waterway, a figure was running quickly. The water under her feet splashed loudly. Her chest was like a gust of wind, constantly bulging up and down.
However, she didn't show any signs of stopping. Instead, she continued to run forward. The candlelight at the corner behind her was flickering. At the same time, there was a low laughter in the air. It seemed that the other party was just beside her.
Suddenly, the eyes of the advancing figure lit up. Then, she opened the blood-stained wooden door at the side and went inside. There was a cupboard that was filled with clothes. She directly opened it and went in. Then, she closed the door.
At the same time, the candlelight at the corner suddenly dimmed. A green face that looked like a crying human skin mask appeared. There was a low laughter that couldn't be suppressed coming from the mouth.
At the same time when she hid in the cupboard and closed the door, the voice of the green mask suddenly stopped. Then, it looked around with some doubts. Other than the slight sound of the waves below, there was no other movement.
Then, its figure suddenly fell and merged into the water below. The next moment, in that room, a transparent figure slowly rose from the water. It was holding a huge transparent sickle in its hand and looked carefully at the room.
Suddenly, the water shadow raised the sickle in its hand and slashed everything in the room. The rows of shelves in front of it were instantly cut into pieces. Even the wooden cupboard behind it was cut in half.
It lasted for half a day before the water shadow stopped. Looking at the messy surroundings, its body once again turned into a puddle of water and merged into the water below.
After a long time, the door of the cupboard that was only left with half of it was slowly opened. Meng Zhen, who was curled up at the bottom, appeared inside. She still had a frightened look on her face. In her hand, she was holding a small white mirror. If something went wrong, she would immediately activate it and leave this place.
"Hu."
She took a deep breath as if she wanted to spit out all the fear in her body. Then, she slowly walked out of the cupboard.
At this time, the surroundings had returned to a calm state. The surroundings were quiet. In the reflection of the water, one could see that her face was still frightened.
At this time, she looked at a mechanism in the room and slowly walked over. Her body seemed to be wriggling. She didn't cause any waves at all.
"Ka ka."
As the handle on the wall was removed, she quickly took out a small piece of the puzzle. She saw that the original red scratch on it had disappeared. This made her look a little better.
However, on the entire puzzle, only half of the paths were lit up. There were even more red lines blocking the path.
All the places where the red lines were, were all doors that were sealed by mechanisms. In this huge place, there were dead ends everywhere. She had encountered several life and death situations. If she didn't get something to escape by luck, she would have died in the hands of the ghost.
That huge pressure made it difficult for her to breathe. Her nerves were tense all the time. She was in a state of exhaustion.
She quickly moved again. She couldn't stay in one place for too long. Otherwise, that guy would definitely come after her again.
Meng Zhen moved again. After confirming her position, she kept the puzzle. Next, she should go to the next waterway. There should be another mechanism there.
Although she didn't know where the mechanism was, if she wanted to reach the final exit of the puzzle, she had to open all the mechanisms along the way. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get through.
.....
"Lord Gu, in half a day, the other party will pass by here. Are we really going to rob them?"
On an empty wasteland, nearly 30 figures were gathered. However, only a few of them were moving, while the rest stood motionless behind them like statues.
"Of course. The other party has a batch of things that I need. I have to get them back. Otherwise, I won't be able to continue my development." A woman with an extraordinary temperament said calmly.
"But, but!" A person beside her said with difficulty.
"But what? Just say it. "Lord Gu looked at the other party and asked.
"Lord Gu, what he means is that if we take such a risk, will we attract the other party's attention? You have to know that our previous fights weren't considered small. However, this time, we are robbing the other party's important things. It will definitely attract the other party's attention." Another woman wearing a blue Daoist robe understood the other party's meaning and immediately said it for him.
"Yes, yes. We want to destroy everything the other party has. There's no need to be in such a hurry. Besides, Lord Gu, your strength is now suppressed to the middle stage of Grand Heavenly Realm. According to the information I've gathered, the other party has a late stage Grand Heavenly Realm. Other than that, the other party is just some small fries. However, just the other party alone is enough to stop us." The man in green nodded quickly and said.
"Don't worry. After we rob this time, we will leave this place. At the same time, we will catch some new ghosts to strengthen our strength. As for the other party, you don't have to worry. Leave it to me."
Lord Gu looked at the two people in front of him. They were Demon Souls that could barely be considered as his own people. He took out a green sword in his hand. It flickered faintly with green light. It didn't seem to have any power, but it made the man and woman beside him feel a sense of fear. It was as if they had met their natural enemy.
"Lord Gu, if that's the case, there won't be a problem. We will set off now. This way, we can reach the predetermined destination before the other party arrives." The young man said to Lord Gu.
Lord Gu nodded. The puppets behind him set off at the same time.
The woman looked at the orderly puppets and shuddered. However, she still walked forward with the others.
A long time ago, they were the same kind. However, they had lost their sense of self. They were refined into puppets by the other party. Their bodies were even covered with black runes.
Under the flickering black light, they gave off a strange aura. No matter what, they were fundamentally incompatible with this place. However, they had merged with this place in a strange form. They even retained the strength they had when they were alive. Perhaps, they were even stronger.
Soon, they arrived at the predetermined location. After that, everyone hid and waited quietly.
This place wasn't a good place for an ambush. There was only a dark forest without any branches or leaves. From the outside, one could see through the forest at a glance. There was still a long way to go before they reached the continent outside.
It was because of this that they were absolutely ambushing the other party here. They would be able to get a good start in a place that the other party would never expect.
As time passed, a convoy of carriages slowly approached from the distance. The leader was a Demon Soul in red armor. It was leading the way vigilantly.
Seeing that they had reached the boundary of their territory, its tense body relaxed a little. Although from the beginning, no one dared to rob them, it wouldn't relax. After all, this thing was related to its life. It was that important.
The things in this carriage were all transported back from the small city of the Alliance. It cost them a lot. No matter what, they had to collect them and then put them in a special place to be destroyed.
It was reasonable to say that such precious things wouldn't be delivered by such a slow and bloated team. Unfortunately, they could only deliver them like this. Those things couldn't be stored in their space. It must be known that those things were incomparably precious in this place. It was even more precious than its name. After all, when everyone came, most of them were empty, making it exceptionally precious.
Soon, they walked along the road towards the predetermined city. It was also the only city in this area. It wasn't too far from here. It would only take a few days to reach. There were no miscellaneous people in it other than the army.
However, when they were halfway through, the forest that they had already searched suddenly rustled. Dozens of figures quickly ran towards them. From the looks of it, they seemed to be overestimating themselves and trying to snatch their things.
The Demon Soul was originally surprised, but after seeing the number and strength of the other party, it relaxed. Even the rhyming Demon Soul relaxed. They had never encountered a robbery before. Unfortunately, it was a group of fools. They were so blind that they didn't even look at what kind of team they were.
They really thought that they could rob as they wished. That was a big mistake.
The red Ghost General emitted a huge aura. At the same time, it rushed towards the other party. Even if it looked down on the other party, it wouldn't let them get close.
However, just as it flew halfway, a figure from the other party also flew out. It held a green sword and directly rushed towards it.
As for the people below, they continued to charge towards the convoy.
