"You You!"
Gu Zheng's eyes became a little dazed. He thought of that gentle girl, You You, that strong girl.
"Go to hell!"
Just as Gu Zheng was lost in thought, the first man who had chased after them felt that this was a good opportunity. His body suddenly jumped up, and at the same time, a black weapon appeared in his hand. He flew directly towards Gu Zheng, the weapon in his hand already aimed at Gu Zheng's head, and was about to kill him.
His attack came without any warning. Even his companions looked at him in surprise, as if they didn't understand why the other party was so irrational.
However, only he knew that the tight pressure in his heart made him have to attack. He believed that in the moment when the other party was lost in thought, his sudden attack would definitely be able to severely injure the other party, and even kill him.
In the blink of an eye, his figure was above Gu Zheng's head. The weapon in his hand had already been extended, and his face had already revealed a trace of a sinister smile. He even realized that the other party had only just recovered from his daze, and those bottomless eyes of his had even turned to look at him.
"He's dead for sure!"
Seeing this, his heart was set, and the strength in his hand increased by a notch. In his opinion, his attack was like a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the other party so quickly that the other party wouldn't be able to react at all, and would definitely be torn to pieces.
However, in the next moment, he saw the other party raise his hand, and under his incredulous gaze, the other party actually grabbed his weapon. It was as if an adult had seen a child play, and the other party had stretched out his hand and casually grabbed his weapon.
His whole body was nailed in the air, and the indomitable aura on his body had disappeared. Even his body was trembling from fear.
At this moment, he realized that the gap between him and the other party was not small at all.
A trace of ferocity flashed in Gu Zheng's eyes, and he was about to use his strength to crush the other party. However, from the corner of his eye, he saw You You's somewhat fearful gaze. He immediately swung his arm, and the person in his hand was immediately thrown towards the other bandit who was trying to escape. The two of them rolled together and lay on the ground in a sorry state.
"Don't run, or I'll kill you!"
Gu Zheng's ruthless words made both of them tremble, but they also knew what to do, especially the one who attacked first. When he felt Gu Zheng's killing intent, he thought that he was dead for sure. Now, he didn't dare to go against Gu Zheng's will. He knew that Gu Zheng's strength was very terrifying, far beyond their so-called early Jin Xian. They were simply not on the same level.
"Pomelo, a good name. Do you have a grandfather?" Gu Zheng turned his head, jumped off the horse, and smiled at Pomelo.
"How do you know? You know my grandfather? " Pomelo no longer had her previous fear. Instead, she looked at Gu Zheng curiously. Her pure eyes seemed to be wondering why she didn't recognize this person in front of her.
"Haha, that's right. I know your grandfather, but your grandfather doesn't know me. This time, I purposely came here, so don't worry." Gu Zheng's smile became even wider, as if he had untied a knot in his heart.
Just now, he had purposely called out the golden-clothed woman who was sleeping in the Black Tower and asked her about the trial on the third level. In fact, that place was set up by the demon fox. Everything was a virtual illusion, just like the clues in a maze. The golden-clothed woman had only modified it slightly to guide him out.
Perhaps she had been here before, so she had put her appearance in. In fact, there were more than a hundred different Chang Kai like this. Every one of them had the same story and background. Even the names of the people were the same. In other words, no matter the scene, there would be Pomelo and her group. Other than Pomelo, everyone would be cursed.
Once Pomelo suffered any injuries or was cursed, she would be completely unable to leave. It was no wonder that most people would be able to pass the third level.
After all, the strength of the illusion was weaker than the actual body. In addition to the golden-clothed woman's shielding, all the ghosts in the previous levels had no memory, so it was so easy.
It was a pity that most people had failed and died in the previous levels, so they couldn't make it here.
After all, the traps and countless ghosts in the previous levels were even more deadly, especially the maze in the cave. Even with a map, it was so difficult, not to mention others without any guidance. It was like a ravine.
However, to Gu Zheng, Pomelo had touched his heart a little. Now that he had solved the problem, he could put down the burden in his heart. It was no wonder that he was so happy.
Pomelo didn't know what the handsome man in front of her was thinking, but he knew her grandfather and saved her, so he should be on her side. However, her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly said, "I need to send out a signal.
"I still have to send the signal. A group of bandits are rushing in. I have to go out first."
"Don't be anxious. Even if you send out the signal, they won't be able to make it in time. I'll help you. You two lead the way. Do you hear me?"
Gu Zheng said gently to Pomelo, but sternly said to the two bandits in front of him.
"Okay, okay, okay. Please be magnanimous and don't kill us."
The two men hurriedly nodded like chickens pecking at rice. The cold voice reached their ears, as if they would die if they didn't agree.
If they were caught, they would only be locked up and modified. Perhaps they would be released after tens of thousands of years, but their lives would be saved. After all, it was difficult to die in this place. However, if they were killed by the other party, their deaths would be in vain. Once bandits like them were killed, there would be no punishment.
"Can you do it alone? I think it's better to inform the patrol team outside. They'll be here in a few days. " Pomelo looked at Gu Zheng in disbelief. Her gaze repeatedly moved back and forth on his body as she spoke hesitantly.
"Do you know who I am? Don't worry, I'm here. " After feeling Pomelo's worried gaze, Gu Zheng's mood improved. He called the white horse and had it lower its body. At the same time, he gestured for Pomelo to get on.
"Aren't you my grandfather's friend?" Pomelo asked innocently, as if the environment here hadn't changed much.
"My other identity is the captain of the patrol team!"
Gu Zheng gently propped Pomelo up and sat on the horse. Then, he whispered.
The two men in front who were about to lead the way stopped. Their bodies went limp and they almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, they held onto the trees beside them and stabilized themselves.
The captain of the patrol team could only be held by those above the Grand Heavenly Realm. They were usually patrolling near the town and were also the main force of the town's security. They rarely came out. However, from the looks of it, the other party seemed to know the people here.
They had kicked an iron plate. The people inside were done for. They knew very well that some of the schemes in their hearts disappeared.
"Oh, but they have a lot of people. What if you can't beat them?" Pomelo nodded as if she understood, but still asked worriedly.
"Trust me. They can't beat me even if they join forces," Gu Zheng said confidently.
At this moment, even if Gu Zheng was surrounded by four or five early-stage Grand Heavenly Realm experts, he wouldn't be afraid. Were the bandits really that strong?
What a joke. If they were so strong, they would be a real idiot. There was nothing better than this. Of course, it didn't exclude the possibility that they were really idiots.
Under the lead of the two bandits in front, they walked deeper inside.
In the depths of the valley, the sounds of fighting had gradually stopped.
There weren't many guards here. After being forcefully controlled by the bandits, they knew what was good for them and stopped resisting.
As for the commoners inside, their cultivation was only at the Heaven Immortal Realm. Facing the bandits who were like wolves and tigers, they couldn't resist at all. After a short time, everyone was controlled.
The brothers didn't get hurt, and the bandits didn't lose a single person. Everyone was happy. Boss Jiu stood in a valley and waited for the people inside to report back. In front of him were the people who had been captured.
They didn't resist much. After all, the difference in strength was too great. Moreover, their lives were the most important thing.
"Boss Jiu, the warehouse outside is basically empty. There's only a little bit of raw ore that was just transported out."
At this moment, a few of his brothers walked over from another place. At the same time, one of them quickly returned to his side and said quickly.
"As expected. You guys take a rest and wait for the brothers inside to come out." Boss Jiu wasn't disappointed. He already knew this. He just wanted to take a look to see if he missed anything.
There was no such thing as regret. If there was something, it would be a pleasant surprise.
Most of the bandits were in this small valley. They were discussing excitedly. This time, the attack was precise and smooth, and they didn't go online. It was comparable to the harvest of hundreds of years. Some of them were even prepared to sell some of the ore they got in exchange for some other things.
Boss Jiu didn't ask them. He looked at the bandits who were guarding outside and walked in.
"Boss Jiu, a little girl ran out just now. I suspected that she had a signal on her, so the other two went to chase after her. However, they haven't returned yet. Is there something wrong?"
"Is that girl's cultivation high?" Boss Jiu asked an irrelevant question.
The bandit thought for a moment and said, "Not high. She's the same as most of the people here. She's only at the mid-stage of the Heaven Immortal Realm. Moreover, she seems to be an ordinary person who was forcefully uprooted here. She's not a cultivator!"
What can a mere Heavenly Immortal do? Most likely, they will be captured before they can even escape the range of our interference. Even if they send out a signal, we will have enough time to retreat. Even the patrol team has begun retreating. A great battle is about to begin. If it weren't for that, I would not have chosen this moment. One day later, those fellows would have been preparing to leave as well. "
If they had left earlier, they would have been gone by the day, "Boss Jiu waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Boss, you're so wise. I'll go out and see if she's trying to slack off. I'll catch her." The bandit flattered Boss Jiu and immediately walked out.
Boss Jiu thought for a moment and called a few people to go into the Soul Stone mine to help. He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a sense of danger. It was as if a disaster was about to happen.
However, he had planned all of this for a long time. Every step was according to his plan. How could there be any accidents? However, he still decided to take action.
After making arrangements for the few people, he decided to drink some Soul Water. Perhaps he was too tired. He hadn't rested for a month. He needed to recover.
However, before he could take out the black water gourd that he always carried with him, he saw the guard who came to report back with his back facing Boss Jiu. It was as if someone in front of him was forcing him to do something.
Boss Jiu followed the guard's gaze and saw two other guards walking over from the corner of the mountain wall. There was a hint of fear on their faces. When they saw Boss Jiu looking over, they revealed a strange expression. It was as if they wanted to tell Boss Jiu something.
While waiting for them to come out, a young man led a white horse and walked in leisurely. That white horse was very attractive at first glance, and there was an obviously shy young girl sitting on top of it.
"You You!"
Before Boss Jiu could say anything, the old man outside the crowd suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Grandpa, grandpa, look who's here. When did you meet such a powerful big brother?" Hearing her grandpa's shout, You You hurriedly looked over. Her eyes curved into crescents. Even though there were so many people on the other side, she wasn't afraid.
"Shut up. Watch them." Boss Jiu saw that the old man wanted to say something, so he immediately shouted. At the same time, he arranged for a few people to go over to the captives.
The rest of the bandits didn't need to be said. They automatically surrounded Boss Jiu and stood behind him. They looked at Gu Zheng with unfriendly expressions. They even scolded him, thinking that he was just there to die.
However, Gu Zheng didn't care about any of this. He just continued walking with the white horse. Even You You wasn't afraid of the white horse at all.
"What's going on? Who is he? "
Boss Jiu asked softly when he saw that the guards he had sent out had returned.
"Bo … Boss … He said he's … he's the captain of the patrol team."
The two bandits who were released didn't feel lucky at all. When they heard Boss Jiu's words, they trembled and didn't hide anything.
Although his voice was soft, everyone heard it clearly. In an instant, the entire valley calmed down, especially the people who had spoken rudely just now. They were all trembling. Just a name was enough to make them so afraid.
Only Gu Zheng was still walking calmly toward the old man. Only the soft sound of the horse's hooves could be heard.
It was clearly visible.
"Are you kidding me? Why would the captain of the patrol team appear alone? Shouldn't they go back to prepare for the upcoming battle?" Boss Jiu took a deep breath and said jokingly. It seemed that this was the only way to convince himself to make up for his fear.
However, no one answered him because Gu Zheng's eyes swept over them. That cold aura made them feel a trace of fear from the bottom of their hearts.
If he was really the captain of the patrol team, they wouldn't be able to defeat him even if they had ten times the number of people.
"He's my grandfather's friend. He's here to take us away," You You, who was on the horse, said happily. She wasn't affected at all.
Her grandfather looked at Gu Zheng with a complicated expression. In fact, he didn't know Gu Zheng, but he wouldn't say it out loud.
"What? Aren't you going to surrender? Do you want me to do it? Or do you want to play some tricks? "Gu Zheng said coldly as he narrowed his eyes.
"I surrender. I surrender. Don't kill me!"
The captain of the patrol team had the right to kill people. Moreover, to the bandits, he didn't feel any burden. This was the privilege of the strong.
One of the bandits couldn't take the pressure and immediately ran out. He rolled and crawled to the side and gave up resisting.
As for the three guards, they were already standing there obediently.
It wasn't just him. As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, more than half of the bandits gave up resisting. Even the bandits who were guarding the hostages came out obediently.
After all, they were just a small group of bandits. They weren't a large group of bandits.
However, there was still a small group who stood firmly beside Boss Jiu. Although they were afraid, they didn't leave.
Boss Jiu didn't blame them for leaving. After all, if he were in their shoes, he would have had the same thought. However, to save his face, he forcefully restrained his legs.
However, seeing that he still had so many confidants who were still with him, he felt that he had done a good job. It was just that he was a little unlucky.
However, seeing that it was about time, he felt that he had to give in. He knew that if they scattered and fled, most of them would be able to leave. However, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape. Once the other party vented their anger on him, he wouldn't want to gamble with his life.
However, just as he was about to speak, one of his confidants suddenly spoke.
"I'm afraid you're not from the patrol team. Don't you know that impersonating the captain of the patrol team is a dead end?"
This made Boss Jiu's heart skip a beat. Was it important whether the other party was real or not? What was important was how strong the other party was. He could easily crush them. Why was he so untactful?
Another confidant leaped and instantly appeared behind the old man. A dagger appeared in his hand and he pressed it against the old man's neck. He spoke to Gu Zheng sternly.
"If you don't want him to die, leave quickly. We only want money, not lives. Otherwise, don't blame us for fighting to the death."
"Grandpa!"
You You shouted anxiously. At the same time, she looked at Gu Zheng anxiously.
Gu Zheng gave You You You a reassuring look. Then, he took a step forward. Everyone's hearts trembled. It was as if their hearts had been stepped on by the other party.
"I didn't give the order. I surrender, I surrender. Put down your weapons quickly. Don't do anything stupid." At this moment, Boss Jiu wanted nothing more than to kill the other party.
However, just as he finished speaking, there were still three people who didn't listen to him. Instead, they took out their weapons and went to the old man's side. If there was any movement, they would kidnap the old man.
"You guys are rebelling. Captain, it's really none of my business." Boss Jiu didn't expect them to not listen to him. He immediately shouted at Gu Zheng. He didn't want the other party to think that he had secretly given the order.
"If you dare to move, I'll make you regret coming here!"
Gu Zheng said expressionlessly. It was as if he didn't care about the other party's threat at all.
"I'll say it again. Leave immediately. We only want money, not lives. Anyway, our lives are worthless. If we can't do it, we'll die together with this old man."
Obviously, the other party thought that Gu Zheng had a close relationship with the old man. They surrounded him and saw him as their last hope.
"Boss Jiu, I remember. When we were resting last time, I saw them sneaking out. Later on, I found out that they had contact with Ma Nan's people. However, I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me, so I didn't say anything."
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted from the other side.
"Ma Nan, that thief, why would he contact them? Could it be …" Boss Jiu looked at the three of them in a different way.
"That's right. Now that things have come to this, we have to admit that we're just hiding in your small team. I'll say it again.
"What exactly are you guys looking for that you don't even want your lives?" Gu Zheng looked at the other party and said word by word.
He didn't seem to care much about the hostages in the other party's hands.
This made the other three's faces turn ugly.
