Inside a house that was filled with red light.
The green light that had filled the house was slowly fading away until it disappeared.
Gu Zheng watched as the green jade was once again consumed and absorbed by the two golden balls. Only then did he grab it and leave the place.
Following the familiar yet unfamiliar corridor, he continued to advance into the unknown.
As he walked, he thought about the battle that had just ended.
Fortunately, he had left quickly. Not long after he left, a few ghost girls and a meatball rushed over.
These ghosts were strange. Ordinary methods could not kill them. Only by using the energy in the golden jade, which was a unique energy in this place, could he cause damage to them.
Otherwise, although it looked like he had hit them, it was actually just the energy contained in the energy that sent them flying. They were completely useless.
If not for the golden jade, he would have had to run away pathetically, although he would not be in any trouble.
Keeping the golden balls that were slightly pressed into his sleeves so that he could take them out at any time, Gu Zheng took out the core golden jade in his hand.
He only had one of this in his hand, and it was from the side of the mountain. This was something that Black Cat and the others did not know.
This thing was very important. Gu Zheng knew this, but he did not know how to use it.
He held the green jade that he found on the road and did not have any guards. Putting the two together, there was a crisp sound of collision, but there was no reaction. It was completely unlike the golden jade, which absorbed the energy of the green jade.
After fiddling with it for half a day, Gu Zheng kept the core golden jade, then held the green jade in his hand and let the golden jade absorb the energy inside.
He could tell that it would take a lot of energy for him to kill these ghosts. There wasn't much energy stored in the golden jade, and it just so happened that it needed a lot of green jade to replenish it. He also wanted to destroy all of the green jade, which happened to coincide with him.
"Dong dong dong"
The familiar running sound of the meatball came from afar. Gu Zheng did not look worried at all, and continued to walk on his own path.
The ghosts that he used to be the most afraid of, even if they appeared in front of him, he would not be affected. He was no longer as weak as he was before.
"Another piece of green jade. Looks like there are quite a lot of green crystals. Speaking of which, why didn't they form bigger crystals? That way, we can find fewer of them."
Gu Zheng turned into a corridor, but before he could open the flowers, he heard a faint cry. After activating the flowers in the corridor, he took a few steps forward. A familiar figure and a familiar green light appeared in front of him, causing him to mutter in his heart.
Now, he had another mission, which was to collect all of these green jades. Of course, he knew that it was impossible to collect all of them, but the more, the better.
One had to know that on the way here, there were already three pieces of unguarded green jade, and he had fed all of them golden jade to replenish them. It was obvious that there was a lot of green jade here, and even the ghosts didn't have enough to guard them.
Although it would save Gu Zheng a lot of trouble, he would rather have all of them gather together and save himself the trouble of finding them.
This time, he just walked over and lit up the flowers along the way so that the surroundings would not be too dark. The Ghost Woman had already discovered Gu Zheng. Her expression suddenly changed, and she shouted, wanting to rush towards Gu Zheng.
"Whoosh!"
However, just as the Ghost Woman stood up, Gu Zheng raised his hand slightly, and a golden light pierced through the air, piercing into the Crying Woman's forehead.
The Crying Woman was stunned, and then her eyes dimmed. Her body fell backward, but before it hit the ground, it had already turned into ashes and disappeared.
Gu Zheng's expression did not change at all. Although he had fought to the death with the other party last time, after knowing the other party's weakness, the other party was like a target. On the other hand, the Ghost Woman did not seem to be as strong as the Crying Woman, but she had different bells in her hand, which was just slightly annoying.
Keeping the green jade in front of him, he did not even look at it and directly used it as nourishment for the golden jade. Just as he was about to leave, his body froze, and he looked to the side.
The loud sound from the other side rumbled closer and closer, causing the entire ground to tremble slightly.
The meatball was here!
The other party might have heard the Crying Woman's cries, so it came over.
Feeling the vibration brought by the other party, Gu Zheng was no longer as relaxed as before. This momentum did not seem weak.
Just as he was thinking, Gu Zheng quickly felt that the other party was approaching. He could not help but look into the darkness.
Although it was pitch black and he could not see anything, he could still feel that a huge thing was approaching quickly.
"Crash!"
The moment Gu Zheng looked over, a loud shattering sound rang out in the air. Following that, a black shadow vaguely appeared in the distance. Before Gu Zheng could see it clearly, it had already arrived in front of Gu Zheng and crashed into him.
"F * ck!"
Gu Zheng almost cursed out loud. The attack that he had prepared in his hand immediately scattered, and his whole body flew to the side, avoiding the other party's frontal collision.
"Boom!"
The meatball didn't slow down at all as it crashed into the room beside Gu Zheng, creating two huge holes in the wall. The strong winds brought about by the meatball caused the fragments in the air to dance around like hidden weapons, flying randomly in all directions.
Even a flower pot at the side was smashed by the other party. However, the flower was still glowing, and was not affected at all.
As Gu Zheng dodged, he secretly clicked his tongue. He really did not expect the other party's impact to be so frightening. One must know that the hardness of this room was not damaged at all in the previous battle. However, under the other party's impact, it was only slightly hard to block, and could not completely suppress the other party's speed.
He had originally wanted to forcibly block the other party, but he was afraid that once he came into contact with the other party, he would be sent flying. Therefore, he made a prompt decision to fly to the side.
The sound of the wind in the air had just weakened slightly, and the meatball had already rushed over again.
However, this time, the other party did not turn into a ball. Instead, it stretched out its body, and walked quickly towards Gu Zheng.
Although the other party's body was huge and looked very stupid, in fact, even if it was not in a ball shape, its speed was not slow.
In two steps, three steps, it arrived in front of Gu Zheng from afar. It stretched out its meaty palm, and directly slapped towards Gu Zheng. Its expression was as if it was swatting a fly, so casual.
Gu Zheng's eyes flashed, and a wide sword appeared in his hand, and directly slashed towards the other party's outstretched arm.
"Clang!"
Following a trail of smoke and sparks, the other party's seemingly black arm was actually harder than steel. Under this attack, the other party's skin was not even scratched. Instead, the huge rebound made it difficult for him to hold the weapon in his hand.
However, after the attack missed, Gu Zheng's figure quickly flashed to the side, and came to the other party's side, and slashed towards the other party's head.
The other party's speed was very fast, but the attack speed was just as Gu Zheng had guessed. In fact, it was not fast, not even as fast as the Crying Girl's chain of ghost claws. This gave Gu Zheng a lot of time to react.
However, what surprised him was that even if he increased the strength in his hand, when the weapon hit the other party's head, it was like hitting a lump of iron. His attack was once again bounced away, and there was not even a trace of injury on the other party's body. This was too shocking.
Although the other party did not turn around, the other side of its arm had strangely twisted, and was aiming towards Gu Zheng's chest.
Although it did not seem to have the slightest bit of momentum, Gu Zheng still chose to retreat, and did not face the other party head-on.
After missing its attack, the meatball turned around and continued to attack Gu Zheng.
However, the other party did not turn into a meatball, because although the speed looked very fast, it was too easy to dodge.
"Go!"
Gu Zheng took a deep breath, and the weapon in his hand suddenly transformed into a two-handed greatsword. It looked to be close to three meters long, and the golden light on it was even more dazzling.
Seeing the meatball charging towards him again, taking advantage of the other party's attack, he jumped into the air, and countless Golden Jade energy poured into it, and then used all his strength to fiercely slash at the meatball below, determined to split the other party in half.
"Boom!"
A huge explosion was mixed with a loud metallic sound, and a wave of air exploded in the middle, and like a storm, it wildly surged out in all directions, causing the surrounding wooden planks to creak, as if they could collapse at any time.
Gu Zheng's figure quickly flew out from the middle, and when he landed on the ground, his figure quickly took a few steps back, leaving behind a series of concave footprints on the ground.
"Hiss, it's really too hard!"
The weapon in his hand had already disappeared, and his arm was trembling incessantly, as he looked in front of him in disbelief.
As the wave of air in the middle receded, the meatball was revealed.
He saw that its legs were deeply embedded in the ground, and it was currently struggling to get out, but there was not the slightest injury on its body.
That's right, Gu Zheng's attack had completely landed on the other party's head, but the effect was the same as before, and there was no progress at all.
The other party really was an impenetrable wall, and even Gu Zheng's current full strength attack was unable to injure it.
Gu Zheng looked at his sleeve with some heartache. That attack had consumed quite a bit of energy, and he felt that he had wasted at least half a Green Jade's energy.
Somewhat unwilling, he waved his hand again, and four shining golden swords appeared in the air once more. This time, each sword was extremely slender, and the tip of the sword flickered with a cold light.
With a wave of Gu Zheng's hand, the four flying swords flew towards the meatball in two rows, this time aiming for the other party's weak spot, the eyelid. He did not believe that the other party's defense would still be that strong.
In fact, the meatball didn't even try to dodge such a fast attack. It was still trying its best to get out and didn't even notice Gu Zheng's attack. Who else could do this?
Those four attacks accurately landed on the meatball's eyes, but what made Gu Zheng dumbfounded was that after the four golden lights flashed, the other party only stopped struggling, and opened its mouth to show off its power, and did not attack.
Shaking his head, Gu Zheng saw that the other party still had not come out, and prepared to leave. He did not want to tangle with the other party any longer, and the key point was that there was no benefit in killing the other party, so why waste time with this undying existence, he would just leave.
The other party's defense was not broken through by him, and if he had the Cloud Desolate Sword, then it would be better. No matter how tough the other party was, he was confident that he could cut it into seven or eight pieces, but there were no ifs.
"Hehe!"
Just as Gu Zheng was about to leave, a low chuckle entered his ears, and he immediately became alert, wanting to quickly leave in the opposite direction of the sound.
But just as he moved, the world in front of him began to spin, and it was as if he was spinning in a circle, and his body began to sway.
At this time, let alone leaving, even controlling his own body was a bit difficult.
That damnable ghost, it came and went without a sound, and he did not even know how it had approached him. By the time he noticed it, it was already too late.
Feeling waves of dizziness in his head, Gu Zheng could clearly sense that the other party was approaching him, but he could not see the other party's figure, and he was also unable to sense the other party's figure.
Let alone now, even if he was in perfect condition, he would still be unable to sense the other party's figure, and could only rely on his eyes and the other party's controlled whispers. But generally speaking, by the time he heard it, he would have already been affected by the other party's interference, and unless it was in an open space, it would be extremely difficult to find the other party's body, and the other party would not foolishly reveal itself.
At this time, the meatball also let out an excited roar, and at this time, it had already broken free from below. Looking at the drunkard Gu Zheng not far away, it was so excited that it curled up into a ball and rushed over.
And at this time, Gu Zheng felt his chest warm up once more, and although it was different from before, it was still the same warm current. Even if the whispers appeared again, it was unable to make him fall into the same state as before, as if under the warm current's supply, he was completely immune to the other party's mental attacks.
But before he could completely break free from the other party's interference, Gu Zheng's figure leapt up, and he miserably fell to the ground beside him. Following his departure, a black figure rushed over like a whirlwind, crashing into the wooden wall behind him.
Without charging up, the meatball was unable to break through the wooden wall, and the massive impact caused it to fall to the ground.
With the help of the warm current, Gu Zheng had already gained control of most of his body. He did not even bother looking for the ghost that was hiding. He stumbled towards the tunnel that led away from this place. This was also the path that he had come from.
When he felt that he was quite far away from the Ghost's detection range, Gu Zheng directly hid in a room.
After closing the door, Gu Zheng felt a bit unsafe. He looked around, but there was nowhere to hide. He then looked up, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
Above his head, there was a beam that spanned across the room. If he hid there, the other party would be able to easily ignore him. Of course, he couldn't let the Ghost get close.
Previously, when he had passed through the window, he had also noticed it, but he had not paid it much mind. Who would have thought that it would help him now?
However, this place was quite far away, so the chances of the other party coming were not very high. On the other hand, the meatball would definitely follow the sound he had left behind. As long as he could hide from the other party and sneak away, it would be fine.
Before, Gu Zheng had been able to hide from the other party, so all he had to do was stay in the room. Now that the meatball had become stronger, he could not underestimate the other party, and it could come here at any moment.
Gu Zheng quickly climbed up and sat on top of it, adjusting his breathing. There was not much space on top, so he could barely sit down.
Gu Zheng had not even sat down for five breaths of time before the door was violently smashed open by a monster. He instinctively stopped breathing, and he inwardly rejoiced at how careful he had been.
The meatball stood in the middle of the room and looked around, as if it wanted to find Gu Zheng. However, in such a small place, it could easily see through him.
Not finding Gu Zheng, the meatball became quite anxious, and it started to anxiously walk around the room. It even went so far as to smash the only bed in the room.
It had sensed that Gu Zheng had come here, so how could it not find him?
After the meatball flipped around, it almost tore the room apart, leaving behind a few large craters on the ground. Only then did it silently leave. Soon, news of its departure spread.
However, Gu Zheng did not immediately come down. After waiting for half a day and confirming that the other party had left, he came down.
After looking around and hesitating for a moment, Gu Zheng left from the side path, looking for another path that he had not taken before.
He did not have any good methods to deal with the meatball, as he was unable to break through its defenses. He also did not have any good methods to deal with that soundless ghost, unless he happened to run into it. However, the most likely scenario was that he would be disturbed before he could even touch it.
If the two of them were alone, Gu Zheng would not be afraid. If he could not kill the meatball, he could not run. If he could not block the other party's interference, could he not run?
However, if the two of them were together, it would be a headache.
In other words, if any other ghost was together with them, it would be a headache.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's confidence was slightly shaken. He had thought that since he had recovered a lot of his strength, he would be able to move around freely. However, the other party's strength had also increased. Only then did he realize that he could only deal with Ghost Lady and Sobbing Lady.
Fortunately, he still had the golden jade core. Thinking of this, Gu Zheng took out the golden jade core again and looked at it carefully, continuing to try to activate the other party.
He did not expect that the other party would be able to dispel the other party's illusion. However, that was all. When everything calmed down, it also calmed down and seemed to have returned to its original state.
Now, no matter how Gu Zheng fiddled with it, he could not bring it back to its original state. It seemed that he could only appear passively. Although he did not need the golden jade core to help him, once it helped him, he would definitely be threatened by that soundless ghost again.
Soon, Gu Zheng put away the golden jade core in his hand. He just did not know how to control it. The key was that he did not have the time to study it. Otherwise, he would have been able to figure it out.
No matter what, at least for now, he could only put this matter aside and wait for the opportunity to come again.
Gu Zheng lit the flowers beside him and looked at the darkness in the distance. He also understood that he had to put away his previous contempt, or he would really fail miserably.
Right now, his main goal was to collect as much of the green jade as possible. Or rather, to absorb it. He would think about the rest later.
As Gu Zheng went deeper into the darkness, the red flowers lit up again.
