Inside the tunnel.
Gu Zheng's figure was still running forward. Soon, he ran past the ordinary mirror and continued running forward.
However, at this time, there was no mirror in that place. Instead, there was a pile of destroyed things. No matter how one looked at it, one could see that there were rows of sharp spikes lying on the ground. Most of them were still emitting sharp light. When put together, they formed a huge cage.
This was actually a trap!
If Gu Zheng rushed forward rashly, he wouldn't be sent away by this. Instead, he would be caught by the other party. The spikes inside would directly pierce through him from all directions. In fact, it could be considered as sending him away in another way.
Gu Zheng rushed forward in fear. This paper-folding knife had saved his life again. If it wasn't for it, he would have rushed forward foolishly.
Not far ahead was an exit. However, what made him feel uneasy was that he heard the sound of water rushing.
As he rushed forward, he was dumbfounded again.
It was because there was no path ahead of him. There was a huge waterfall in front of him, and a large amount of water was flowing down to his calves. The direction of the water flow was the endless void, completely blocking off Gu Zheng's path of retreat.
However, looking at the guidance of the paper-folding knife, the light beam was still pointing forward. It was still telling him to move forward. He smiled helplessly and walked straight in.
He had no choice but to go in. The head had already chased after him. Even if its body had shrunk by half, it wouldn't make a difference if he faced the other party.
When he reached the middle, the paper-folding knife turned around and shone directly at the wall on the other side. Then, its body flashed. Under Gu Zheng's stunned gaze, it crashed into the wall. Suddenly, a huge cloud of dust appeared on the wall.
It wasn't worth it. Gu Zheng felt the entire cave shaking violently. He stabilized his body and realized that the place he was at was the place where the shaking was the least. That was why he didn't get washed away by the turbulent water.
Gu Zheng looked at the series of noises. The guy seemed to be opening up a passage. He could even see some flying stones flying out and landing outside.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. He frowned and looked around. However, the head still hadn't appeared at the entrance of the cave. When he looked up, his expression changed.
This was because there was a huge rock falling from the sky above, and it just so happened to be where Gu Zheng was, enveloping Gu Zheng's surroundings.
At this moment, he had only just realized it. It seemed that it was a little too late. No matter what, he would be suppressed by the other party.
Of course, Gu Zheng knew that layers of black light were covering his body. Although the effect was minimal, this was the only thing he could do to reduce his injuries.
However, before the darkness could fully gather, a behemoth suddenly appeared above Gu Zheng's head.
Bang!
The huge creature helped Gu Zheng block the huge rock.
"Wu Fan, you've recovered!"
Gu Zheng shouted in surprise.
"I'm sorry. The other party activated all the power in the mask. I didn't want to hurt you and cause you so much trouble."
Wu Fan's head had already recovered, and he said apologetically.
"It's good that you're fine. I'm lucky, so I'm fine." What could Gu Zheng say? It wasn't his intention for the other party to attack him.
"Haha, that thing is opening up a passage. I remember that it's a hidden place. Although I don't know what it is, it's enough to send you to your friend's place." Wu Fan slowly moved to the back and said to Gu Zheng.
"What about you? You're not coming with me? "Gu Zheng could hear the other party's tone. It seemed he wanted to say goodbye.
"Me? I've already completed my mission. No matter how the other party uses it, it won't be able to recover its cultivation base. If I get close to it, I'll definitely be controlled by it. So I won't go with you. "
Wu Fan continued to retreat. Soon, he arrived at the edge of the battlefield.
"You can wait for me outside. There's no need to be so extreme. I'll think of something." Gu Zheng understood what the other party meant and quickly said.
"There's no need. I've already fulfilled my wish. If she dies, I'll die too. There's no way to save it. If you see the thing I gave you before, remember to destroy it or use it. The other party might only have one way to preserve it. The more it disappears, the faster its power will dissipate. The other party has already lost too much in order to control this place. You can definitely defeat it."
"Remember, before you completely control it, don't trust anyone. Don't trust it. You must enter the demon fox's hiding place. Don't go to the third level first. Otherwise, you won't be able to control this treasure. The core of the third level, the golden jade, must be taken back from the demon fox. That's the foundation to control this place."
Gao Fan said to Gu Zheng solemnly, as if he was sure that Gu Zheng would look for the other party. The last sentence was said through voice transmission. He seemed very cautious.
Then, before Gu Zheng could reply, his entire head fell downwards, falling into the endless void space by itself.
I'm dead for sure!
Gu Zheng's expression was a little gloomy. However, this was the other party's choice. He couldn't do anything about it. At this moment, the movement on the other side stopped. It seemed that the passage had been opened.
Although there was no danger, he still walked over. There was no point in staying here. He was still thinking about Gao Fan's last warning. It seemed that this treasure didn't have any good intentions.
Swallowing the wolf and driving the tiger.
Gu Zheng instantly thought of the other party's strategy. He was the wolf. The other party wanted him to get rid of the demon fox, who had the upper hand, completely. Then, the other party would deal with him.
Obviously, even if he recovered his cultivation, compared to the other party, the core of the golden jade must be in his hands.
Walking into the gap, a crude passageway that was only wide enough for one person to pass through opened from the side. Gu Zheng bent down and slowly walked up.
Soon, he walked out of this temporary passage and arrived at a house above.
At the only exit of this house, two golden jades were already placed there. Only the paper knife was nowhere to be seen. It was as if the other party had left after knowing that Gu Zheng wasn't in danger.
Gu Zheng picked up the golden jade from the ground and touched it lightly with his hand. There were different patterns on it. This was probably the real core of the golden jade.
If that was the case, she must have known about the two jades in his hands. Then why did she give it to him?
Gu Zheng thought of this question, but he had no clue. The only thing he suspected was that there was something fishy about the golden jades. If only he could catch that black cat and ask it in detail.
After walking out of this place, he came to the place near the sea. Dots of candles lit up the surroundings, allowing him to clearly see the black sea outside and the layout of this place.
Gu Zheng continued to walk along a corridor. Soon, he came to a raised and empty area. It was like a temporary harbor. Below, a red boat was parked, waiting for him to get on.
Gu Zheng originally wanted to go down directly, but he saw that there seemed to be a path ahead. Curious, he continued to walk forward, wanting to see what was inside.
When he came here, other than that room, he didn't find any other way back. He even walked in the opposite direction. After a few steps, a locked silver door blocked him.
It seemed that if he really came up from that side of the pavilion, he would be stuck without a key.
The first half of this place was still normal. The decorations were the same as the first half. But at the back, there was only a bare mountain wall. Even the passage that was wide for three people was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Gu Zheng felt more and more curious. Why was this place so remote? It had to be known that he had walked for half the time it took to brew a cup of tea. He was nearing the exit of his room, but it seemed that this winding passageway had no end at all.
He didn't believe that this place could lead him to another place.
Gu Zheng didn't care about anything else. He quickened his pace and walked forward. He wanted to see just what was hidden inside.
Gu Zheng didn't know how long he had walked. It felt like half a day had passed. He even felt like he would never reach the end. But now, he had reached the end.
The space in front of him suddenly widened. A golden door blocked the only entrance.
Gu Zheng's excited expression immediately became disappointed. He walked a few steps forward. Through the gap in the middle, he saw an altar. And on top of it was a familiar red wooden table.
But he still remembered that he still had a key. He didn't think there was much hope. After all, this thing had come from the front. How could it be possible? He didn't even look at it.
Kacha.
Gu Zheng looked at the golden door in front of him slowly opening. He was stunned. He had never thought that it would really open.
He swayed in place for a few breaths. Only then did he react. No matter what, this door was open. He immediately walked in and walked to the table in the middle.
When he reached there, he saw that it was indeed a golden jade. He immediately picked it up. His smile became even brighter.
Because this golden jade was a core golden jade. It also had those mysterious patterns on it.
"In that case, I have one as well."
Gu Zheng smiled. The other party was fighting for this thing. He naturally knew how important it was. Perhaps if he could control it, he would be able to control a part of the power here.
As for the two core golden jades that the other party had left for him, he didn't dare to rashly test them. With it, he had to take a look. And the other party wouldn't be able to detect it. They also wouldn't know about this golden jade. Otherwise, how could they have left so easily?
With it in hand, Gu Zheng went back the way he had come. It was another boring journey, but his state of mind was different. He felt like he had returned to that place very quickly.
This time, he didn't hesitate to get on the boat. Without any control, the boat slowly sailed out, heading towards the endless black sea.
When Gu Zheng went to his next destination, the black cat met with a huge problem.
At this moment, he was at the top of the mountain where Gu Zheng had fainted. In front of him, a woman in white was looking at him coldly. And in her hand was a paper knife. That horrifying voice kept echoing. It was as if it was scratching at the bottom of his heart. He couldn't stop it at all.
"Don't think that I'll be afraid of you just because you have a physical body. Without the core power, you can't kill me." The black cat looked at the other party and said solemnly.
Although she couldn't kill him, she could disgust him to death. And because of special reasons, he couldn't kill her.
The woman stopped what she was doing. Then, she raised the knife and pointed it at the black cat's eyes.
There, two golden eyes were like vortexes. They were spinning non-stop. It looked very strange.
"Hmph, if that's the case, come over. There's someone else here. I'll let him finish you." The black cat took a step back. Then, it leaped into the void and disappeared.
The woman looked at the other party's position. Black blood appeared on her body again. Soon, she sank into the bloodstains on the bottom of her feet and disappeared.
The woman and the cat started chasing each other.
Everyone was doing it for themselves. Neither of them would admit defeat.
Because the price of losing was too fatal. The black cat would die and the woman would lose her only physical body.
But if the woman didn't snatch the thing from the black cat, it instinctively felt that it would lose. If it succeeded, it would have a high chance of regaining the initiative. But if it failed, the worst result would be losing this physical body. Anyway, it wouldn't be of any use in the future.
And at this moment, Gu Zheng's side, after half a day, automatically stopped at a place. Then, he walked up the stone steps.
Actually, he had seen this place from afar. When he first arrived, he could feel the aura left behind by Meng Zhen. It seemed that after the other party disappeared, he came to this place. Gu Zheng was really envious.
Thinking about all the soul-stirring things he had been through in the past few days, he was almost at the edge of life and death. If he wasn't careful, he would be turned into ashes. But the other party was here. In comparison, he was really lucky.
He didn't stop for long. When he was on the ship, he had already recovered his strength. Now, he had to find the other party and leave this place together.
But then again, it was really stupid to not be able to leave this place after such a long time. Could it be that she was trapped and waiting for him?
Just as Gu Zheng entered the hall, the stone door outside closed with a rumbling sound. That meant that Gu Zheng knew about this.
Either they died in here or they left this place completely. There was no way to leave this place. People outside couldn't enter either.
After looking around, Gu Zheng ignored the blood on the stone walls and pushed in. What he saw was bright candlelight. And the density of the candlelight was obviously more than before. There was almost no darkness in between the two places. It was as if all the darkness was expelled.
Gu Zheng looked around and squinted his eyes as if he was inspecting something. Soon, he walked forward as if he was very familiar with this place. After turning two corners, a closed wooden door appeared in front of him.
The wooden door was the same as the wall beside it. Blood was constantly flowing on it. As long as one touched it, there would be traces left behind. Even if one touched the wall, one would be stained.
After opening the wooden door, there was only a small room inside. In the middle of the room, there was a cloud of fog that was like starlight. It was very mesmerizing. It was completely out of place with the atmosphere here.
Gu Zheng didn't think too much. He reached out his hand towards the cloud of starlight and directly went inside.
In the next moment, his body stopped moving, and his brows furrowed.
After the time it took to burn a stick of incense, the starlight dissipated. Gu Zheng also digested the information inside.
This was the information that Meng Zhen left for him. He didn't know that Meng Zhen could leave behind this place without any cultivation. It seemed that Meng Zhen was quite talented.
There wasn't much information, but it allowed him to understand some things.
First of all, it was the incredibly complex terrain. Just from what the other party had told her, she was able to deduce a few things, not to mention the ghosts that she had just discovered.
In order to prevent Gu Zheng from coming over without knowing anything, she came back halfway to inform Gu Zheng so that he wouldn't be caught by the other party.
Not only were there the crying woman, ghost woman, and meatball that Gu Zheng had met before, there were also two more horrifying monsters.
One of them was a monster that seemed to be covered with black sarcomas. It had four limbs like a spider and it didn't make any sound when it walked. However, if it got close to you, it would disturb your mental state. The closer it got, the more serious the hallucinations would be. There was no way to defend against it.
The second one was a green mask that floated in the air. It looked like a wave of water that was floating in the air. It was really slow, but it let out a weird laugh.
However, if one didn't leave in time after they discovered you, they would rise up from the water under your feet and turn into a water person to attack you. It was impossible to defend against. If one didn't dodge or hide in time, they would definitely die. It was really horrifying.
"Now, here's the question. Where are you now? You can't be trapped already, right? "
Gu Zheng walked out of the room and mumbled to himself.
Looking at the fully lit passage outside, he confidently walked into the depths of the passage.
The only map here was taken away by the other party. If he didn't find the other party and tried his luck to get out, he wouldn't be able to get out even if he worked himself to death. After all, there were a lot of traps and it was impossible to leave this place.
Besides the map, there was nothing else to open the traps.
Therefore, Gu Zheng had to find Meng Zhen in this huge area no matter what.
.....
"Since you're forcing me, I won't hold back. I promise that when I leave, I'll return your things to you."
In a spacious cave, all the candles were flickering. It was as if there were countless strong winds rushing in from afar, causing the entire cave to flicker. On a tall stone pillar, a black cat was glowing with golden light as it looked down and said helplessly.
However, the female figure below ignored it. The sound of the paper folding knife in her hand was even louder, as if she was sizing up the enemy's position.
"Swoosh"
Just as the black cat was about to say something, it suddenly moved its tail and flew toward another stone pillar.
The moment it left, a beam of white light was emitted from the paper folding knife. The top of the stone pillar that the black cat was on was instantly blasted into pieces.
The woman in white also flew quickly toward the black cat in the air. She wanted to intercept it halfway.
However, the black cat suddenly stopped in the air and flew in another direction. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a black line and left through the exit at the side.
The woman wasn't in a hurry at all. She stayed in the air quietly. After a long time, her body suddenly scattered in the air and turned into a blood rain that disappeared into the void.
"Then don't blame me for not holding back! Since you don't want me to have an easy time, I won't let you have an easy time either! "
Somewhere on the mountain peak, the black cat's angry voice rang out in the air. Then, two golden lights flashed in the air. One of them disappeared into the void, while the other tried to fly away. However, a woman suddenly appeared and grabbed it firmly in her hand.
However, there was a black flame on her body that was burning rapidly. It wouldn't be long before this body was destroyed.
However, before that, she could send the item to where it was supposed to be.
