"Peng!"
The Second Elder had pierced a huge hole in the middle of the Patrol God Patriarch's body, taking up almost half of his chest. The Patrol God Patriarch was also sent flying, his aura dropping rapidly like a roller coaster.
In the distance, he rolled on the black ground for an unknown number of times before he finally fainted.
In order to ensure that Meng Zhen was sent flying, he had done his best. He did not have any protection, and under the second elder's furious attack, he was sent into a state of near death.
Even so, it could not hide the fact that their plan had failed. Meng Zhen had been successfully pulled in by the patriarch.
"Damn it!"
The second elder cursed with an ugly expression. The seventh elder was also unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.
"Haha, no matter how you schemed, it did not stop us from succeeding. This time, you failed again. I look forward to your failure again."
Chi Hong's arrogant voice exploded in the air. Then, his body flew rapidly into the black space. He stretched out his tentacles and grabbed at his subordinates. Of course, he also grabbed the half-dead Patrolling God Patriarch who was lying on the ground.
"You want to take him away? Dream on!"
The second elder's eyes flashed sharply, and the tentacle that reached for the patriarch was cut in half. However, as soon as it was cut, more tentacles rushed down, but she stopped them all.
As for the other two tentacles, she also wanted to stop them. No matter what, she could not let Chi Hong rescue the culprit. So, she simply ignored it, in case he took the opportunity to rescue his beloved.
"I look forward to our next meeting!"
Chi Hong did not insist on rescuing his beloved. Anyway, he had done his best. At most, he would go back and put in a good word for his clan, and it would not be so tragic.
Soon, Chi Hong brought his two subordinates and disappeared into the black passage.
"Second elder sister!"
As the second elder landed, the seventh elder also went up, looking very anxious.
"I'm sorry, I did not stop him." Gu Zheng went up and said with guilt.
He had already done his best, but who would have thought that the Patrolling God Clan Leader would bring Meng Zhen back even if it meant his own death? He had even thrown out the Black Tower, but he was still a step too late.
"It's not your fault. He would rather die than do this. Otherwise, if he failed the mission, he wouldn't be able to live either. He might even implicate his own tribe. That way, at least the other tribe won't have any major problems." The Second Elder took a deep breath and said to Gu Zheng.
When the other party made his move, she remembered the other party's purpose. At this time, other than her, even the Seventh Elder and the others couldn't stop him. And under Chi Hong's entanglement, she didn't have the chance to stop him either.
Next to him was the Patrol God's corpse, which had been completely split into dozens of pieces. It was clear to see how furious the Second Elder was.
"What do we do now? Second Sister, do we really have no way to go back? "The Ninth Elder also came over from the side, and said somewhat unwillingly.
"In order to prevent us from going back, this place has completely blocked us from entering. After all, the Elders said that there is nothing there. As long as we are still here, there is hope, so we can't go back." The Second Elder calmed herself down and said.
"Damn it, if we go back, wouldn't Meng Zhen be captured by the other party? As time passes, they might find our weakness again. At that time, we will be in a passive position." The Seventh Elder said angrily.
Although they were powerful, and could proudly say that they were inferior to those of the same level, as they were nurtured, they also had weaknesses. Even the new generation of reserves had weaknesses that couldn't be ignored. It was just that it was different from before.
They also didn't think of eliminating all their weaknesses. After all, there was no such thing as perfection. It was just that the more concealed it was, the safer it would be for their safety.
"Then what can we do? Why don't we go back and ask Big Sister first? Moreover, we have to be prepared for the operation. "The Ninth Elder, who looked a little depressed, said unwillingly.
At this time, their situation had fallen into a completely unexpected state. They could only continue with their previous plan, step by step.
"However, it's not completely impossible. It just depends on whether someone is willing to do it! We can't pass, but what if it's not our clansmen? "The Second Elder suddenly turned her head at this time and looked at Gu Zheng as she said.
The two elders instantly understood what she meant. Although the clan leader here had the most restrictions, and their Soul Painting Clan couldn't pass through here, outsiders could, but the price was a little high.
"Second Elder, as long as I can help, please tell me." Gu Zheng didn't shrink back. Instead, he met the Second Elder's gaze and said.
"What can he help with? His strength is still so weak! "The Ninth Elder said with some disappointment.
"Second Sister, everyone knows Chi Hong's ability. Not to mention him, even we can't possibly be a match for him. If he goes, he will only be courting death." The Seventh Elder persuaded. If there was a way, he wouldn't have said so.
"I know you've misunderstood. In fact, it's not as difficult as you think. If I'm not wrong, it must be that traitor who provided some information and a magic treasure in his hands. You know that thing, so you can find us here."
Seeing the two elders nodding, the Second Elder continued to speak.
"If I'm not wrong, our entrance is definitely a space created by the other party. Otherwise, it wouldn't be connected to us. Meng Zhen was pulled in there, and Chi Hong definitely can't enter there. He can only wait outside. This is our biggest chance, but we can't be sure of the strength of the person inside."
"More importantly, as long as he wants to come back, I can immediately pull him back. That magic treasure was given to him by the Great Elder. It used to be in my hands for a period of time, so I still have some understanding of it. Or if the space inside is broken, he can automatically return."
Not only did she say this to the two elders, but also to Gu Zheng so that he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
"If that's the case, Second Elder, please help me. The later it is, the higher the chance of the other party leaving. If he really leaves the connected space, I'm afraid Meng Zhen will be transported out." Gu Zheng immediately said after hearing this.
Gu Zheng originally thought that there was no hope, but now there was a glimmer of hope. How could he not be excited? Moreover, with the Second Elder's guarantee, he could pull him back at any time. In this way, his actions would be more risky.
"Alright, since you can do so much for Meng Zhen, it's enough to prove that you're our friend. There's no time to lose, I'll open a passage for you. Remember, this may be the only chance. After the other party leaves, they will definitely remove this space. With our defenses here, the other party won't have a chance." The Second Elder said with admiration.
"Please, if there's anything you need, please tell me." The Seventh Elder also had a good impression of him and asked.
"If you really can't save him, don't force it. After all, it's suicide." The Ninth Elder's temper was even worse than before. He said softly, not wanting to give Gu Zheng any pressure.
After all, no matter how strong Gu Zheng was and how he could fight against a Middle Stage Human Soul, there would definitely be more than one person inside to rescue Meng Zhen. Coincidentally, the person inside was not that strong.
According to the cautiousness of the other side, there would at least be a small team of experts to ensure Meng Zhen's safety. As for letting Gu Zheng leave and continue to go in, they didn't have any hope. Chi Hong would definitely be outside. In the end, he would be escorted inside.
Only the connecting passage had restrictions. The strongest person could not be above the Late Stage Human Soul Realm. Even if Gu Zheng was in danger, there would still be some resistance and the Second Elder could pull him back.
"I know, I'll do my best." Gu Zheng said with a serious expression.
This not only concerned Meng Zhen's life, but also Xu Jia's life. Naturally, he wouldn't be careless.
At this moment, the Second Elder walked over with a ball of silver thread in his hand. It was as thin as silk. Then, according to a certain method, he began to bind Gu Zheng's body.
"This can ensure that I can sense your movements at any time and bring you back. No matter what, safety comes first."
After waiting for the Second Elder to finish everything, he said.
Gu Zheng felt the coolness on his body. Those silk threads had already disappeared from his body and entered his body. It was as if a clear spring was gushing out from every part of his body. This feeling was also quickly fading away.
"I can set off at any time," Gu Zheng said again.
He had already put away the Black Tower. Although his body wasn't at its best, time didn't allow him to rest.
"Alright, since this is the case, then there's no time to lose. Close your eyes, I'll send you off." The Second Elder didn't waste any time and directly instructed.
Hearing this, Gu Zheng directly closed his eyes. Soon, he felt a warm current surround him from all directions. After about a few breaths, he felt that the Second Elder still hadn't moved. The warm current around him quickly disappeared, and he couldn't help but open his eyes.
At this moment, he realized that in this short period of time, he had already been silently transported over by the Second Elder. However, the extremely faint coolness on his body let him know that as long as he was willing, the Second Elder could pull him back at any time.
This place was similar in nature to the black tunnel. Everything was pitch-black, and one couldn't even tell the direction. After a certain distance, one would be plunged into complete darkness.
However, Gu Zheng wasn't too worried that he couldn't find Meng Zhen's whereabouts. This was because not far from him, an unfamiliar aura, mixed with Meng Zhen's aura, was continuously flying into the distance.
In this short period of time, the other party didn't try to erase their aura. They were like fireflies in the night, so bright that he didn't have to expend any effort to follow them.
However, he was also a monster in the air. From this aura, he had already detected the auras of at least seven people, and each of them was more powerful than him.
This made him a little hesitant as he moved. If there were really only one or two of them, he was really prepared to withstand their attacks and forcefully take Meng Zhen away. He had the Black Tower, and in addition to his sudden appearance, he would definitely be able to make them hesitate.
However, there were so many of them. No matter how surprised he was, he wouldn't be able to withstand their attacks. Thus, he could only hide a little and not let them know that he was here. Once they were on guard, it would be almost impossible for him to get close.
As he thought about his strategy, Gu Zheng continued to increase his speed and chase after the other party. He didn't know how big this space was. If the other party left here, all his efforts would be in vain. No matter how much he thought about it, it would be useless.
After only two hours, Gu Zheng could already sense that the other party wasn't far away from him. He didn't check the situation over there to avoid alerting the other party. Instead, he prepared to circle around from the side and observe their situation first.
Not long after, Gu Zheng had already concealed himself in front of them. He predicted the other party's route and hid himself again.
It wasn't that he wanted to do this, but rather that he wasn't absolutely confident that he could hide from a group of people who were on guard. Moreover, the surroundings were completely bare, and there was no place to hide at all. Even if he were to crawl to the side now, it would be very dangerous.
Not long after he hid himself, a team of seven people soon appeared in the distance. Every one of them was on high alert and explored the surroundings, as if they wanted to find the enemy who was hiding in the distance. In theory, the Soul Painting Clan couldn't come here at all, so they didn't have the slightest bit of carelessness.
This was because the thing they were escorting was really too important. In other words, if this person was lost in their hands, then all of them would have to apologize with their lives.
The only thing that made them feel relaxed was that as long as they left this place, what happened next wouldn't be their problem. Originally, they had been doing nothing here, just waiting for orders. They didn't expect that they would really be of use one day.
"Everyone, hurry up and pay attention to your surroundings. At most, we'll be able to leave this damned place completely in half a day's time." The person leading the way in front was a mass of black fog, whose specific identity couldn't be seen at all, as he commanded everyone.
"Of course we know that, but it's seriously slowing down our speed. Otherwise, we would have been out long ago. Why don't we remove this layer of protection? Anyway, there are so many of us, this little girl can't do anything." Behind him, a similar mass of black fog complained.
Meng Zhen, who was in the middle, was still floating in the air calmly. Her body was still the same as before, but there seemed to be some conflict with this place, causing her speed to be very slow. Otherwise, with the speed of these people, they would have really been out in this short amount of time.
"No, it's not like you don't know the methods of the other clan. This is a newly born member of the other clan. What if she has other things that we don't know about? Do you want to implicate us and make us apologize?" The black fog that spoke first immediately refuted.
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. At most, it'll be half a day. We've endured so many years, and with this time, we can get some credit. Not only can we write off what happened in the past, but we can also get some benefits. Everything is worth it." Another black fog interrupted them directly.
"We've been together for so many years, and we all know each other. So let's not chat idly now, and listen to my orders. I keep feeling that something is wrong. Painted Soul and the others can't come in, but their subordinates, the Mirror Demon Clan, can totally come in. So can't we? We're too careless." The black fog that spoke first spoke again.
After his voice fell, no one spoke again. Obviously, they knew that he was right, and his feeling was very accurate. This made everyone more vigilant, and even intentionally or unintentionally, they began to launch probing attacks in the surroundings. For a time, there were continuous sounds of explosions around them.
"Phew, that was close!"
After this group of people had completely passed for a while, Gu Zheng came out from a hidden place at the side, and said with some trepidation. He had almost been attacked by the indiscriminate attacks of the other party. He had only been here, and had only glanced in that direction out of the corner of his eye, and had almost been discovered.
But at this time, Gu Zheng really had a headache. The other party was so tight, and obviously was a little troublesome. Moreover, every one of them was shrouded in a layer of black fog, and it was completely impossible to see their faces, what more to determine their specific strength.
"But no matter what, I have to try!"
Gu Zheng looked at the pitch-black distance, and finally decided to take the risk.
The other party's defense directly overturned all the previous plans, and only this method now. If it succeeded, then they would be underestimated, and if it failed, they could only leave.
He had heard the other party's previous conversation clearly, and also knew that the time left for him was very little, and there was no other way.
Gu Zheng began to run wildly from the side, following the aura left behind by the other party, and prepared to go around to the front of the other party again. This time, he was going to use the Black Tower to prepare for a strong attack.
If it didn't succeed, then they could only retreat, and even if they were careless, they could possibly die here.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Rhyming Meng Zhen's team suddenly stopped, and the leader of the black fog spoke at this time.
"If I didn't guess wrongly, it really is possible that the other party sent people to chase after us, but we didn't come out because of the monster in the air. To be safe, we'll use the previous plan, and can't let the other party get their hands on it."
"The other party didn't show up, so their strength isn't as strong as ours, and that's normal. In a hurry, the other party couldn't have mobilized many people, but to be safe, I still agree with the previous plan." Another voice also spoke up.
"I also agree!"
The others also agreed. Although this would spread out their strength, it would greatly allow the other people to complete the task, and the others only needed to delay for a bit, and they could immediately leave, which was relatively safer.
"En, since that's the case, then we'll immediately split up according to the plan, and then gather at the exit. As for Xia Xi, because of your uniqueness, let's have you attract the other party on the surface. If you succeed, this time, we'll definitely help you ask for a reward," the leader of the black fog said.
"I understand, don't worry, I'll do my best to delay for as long as possible," a black fog next to him said solemnly.
As for his mission, he knew from the beginning that only he could attract the other party's attention and protect himself.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
The black fog that spoke first didn't say much, and directly grabbed Meng Zhen to his side, and the other black fog consciously stood beside him. The three of them slowly disappeared in the air, and began to secretly rush in another direction.
Xia Xi shrugged indifferently, and spat out a cloud of black fog from her mouth, which directly fell towards Meng Zhen's original position. When the black fog exploded there, a figure that was almost identical to Meng Zhen appeared there.
He didn't stop, and spat out a few more clouds, and soon, the same four "Meng Zhen" appeared again.
The other black fog each took one and quickly left this place.
"Let's hurry up and leave, I really hope the other party doesn't come here."
Xia Xi looked at Meng Zhen, who was next to her, and stretched out her hand to change the tracks next to her. Looking at the six black fog next to her that were silent, she sighed, and continued to fly forward at the same speed as before.
