Gu Zheng had overestimated the town in front of him even though it was called a town.
From above, it looked like this place wasn't small, but after entering, they found that it was mostly empty space. In fact, many places were empty, used as trading grounds by some people. Further inside, there were some intact houses. It seemed that the walls outside, which were half the height of a person, were built later. It was too rushed, and probably didn't have much use. It could barely block things like junk, and any powerful beast would be able to break it open.
Even Meng Zhen, who had entered excitedly, felt a little disdainful. "Why is this place so shabby? It feels like we've reached the shabbiest place in our world."
Seeing how disappointed Meng Zhen was, Gu Zheng felt that it was still possible to end this. Most likely, they wanted to expand, but they stopped because of some problems. At the very least, it would be a smaller version of a town. At the very least, there was a place for people to rest in the distance, so Gu Zheng comforted her.
"Although this place is a little shabby, we'll rest for a while. This time, you'll be alone. This is a good test for you. If you pass, I'll bring you to a bigger city next time."
In fact, Gu Zheng had wanted to leave. After all, there was no value in staying here. In other words, even thieves wouldn't visit this place. However, as he entered, a familiar feeling rose in his heart. It was as if a friend had stayed here before. However, when he looked carefully, he couldn't recognize the other party's identity. Coupled with the state of the surrounding villagers, he decided to stay and take a look.
"Alright, leave everything to me," Meng Zhen said confidently as she carefully walked inside.
"If I do anything wrong, you must remind me in time."
Meng Zhen whispered to the brush on the way. After receiving the brush's affirmation, she felt that there wouldn't be any problems this time.
The appearance of Gu Zheng's group made the other villagers very proud. They carefully followed them and their identities. It had been many years since outsiders had appeared, which made them very surprised. Especially with Gu Zheng and Meng Zhen's appearance, it was obvious that they couldn't be compared to people like them who were struggling to survive.
Although their voices were very soft, to Gu Zheng's group, it didn't make any difference. Of course, Meng Zhen didn't pay attention to them. She was planning what to do next. She combined some of the scenes she had seen before and prepared for her first real battle.
Soon, they came to the entrance of a restaurant with a signboard. The signboard behind had disappeared, but there was only a small mask in front of them. There were less than ten crowded tables in total. It was unknown how many years they hadn't changed. There was even a table that seemed to have been unused for a long time. It was covered in a light layer of dust.
Seeing all this, Meng Zhen carefully frowned.... Although she was mentally prepared, everything in front of her...
However, at this moment, there were actually more than ten people sitting in the small room, occupying most of the tables. In front of each person was a small cup of wine made of wood, but there was no wine or food. It was as if they had only come here to drink that cup of wine. They were very careful.
Gu Zheng could easily see the murky, unknown liquid inside. Some people had already drunk half of it, while others had not started drinking yet. Seeing their arrival, their eyes carefully followed them.
At this moment, they seemed to be very careful.
"Cough, cough."
Meng Zhen didn't ask too much. Thinking that this was her first action, she directly ignored the strange situation in front of her. She looked up and saw a man who seemed to be a shopkeeper standing at the side. She immediately rushed up and slammed the tall wooden table in front of him.
"What's there to eat …"
"Crack."
As the antique in front of her was smashed into pieces by her palm, her words came to an abrupt end.
Fortunately, the counter was wiped clean and there wasn't any dust. Meng Zhen was stunned on the spot. She didn't use too much strength. Instead, she imitated the other people in the city and slammed the table heavily. But why did she get stuck when it came to her?
"Are the two of you foreigners? Is this your first time here?"
Although it was a question, the shopkeeper in front of them was obviously sure of their identities. In this small place, no one knew who they were. Just by looking at their attire, he could tell who they were.
"Ah, I'm really sorry. I'll compensate you." Meng Zhen didn't know what to do. She only said it after the brush reminded her.
"You don't have to compensate me. Just leave this place. There's nothing to eat here. If you really want to, you can go out and exchange for some wild game. I can help you to process it." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.
Meng Zhen's subsequent plans were disrupted. She couldn't help but turn her head and look at Gu Zheng.
"Sorry for disturbing you. We'll leave now."
Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen and couldn't help but think of Xiao Ying. He laughed bitterly in his heart and went forward to pull Meng Zhen over.
This place was indeed a little strange. Although the shopkeeper didn't show any vigilance, he obviously didn't welcome them.
At this moment, the other customers had also finished their drinks and left from the side.
"This is really strange. There are actually foreigners here."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Miss Ren Xue!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and then he ran out.
Gu Zheng turned around and moved his body slightly. Then, he pulled Meng Zhen to the side and watched the shopkeeper eagerly welcome the other party in.
Looking at the dirty scene in front of her, Ren Xue shook her head and said, "I already told you last time. No matter how many customers there are, you have to clean it up."
"I'll do it now. I didn't expect Miss Ren Xue to come so early this time. I thought it would take more than ten days." The shopkeeper took out his dirty towel and wanted to wipe the table.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Ren Xue stopped him. Then, a green light flew out from her fingertip and circled the entire room. Everything looked brand new.
"Thank you for your help, Miss Ren Xue. I'm really ashamed." Shopkeeper Ma rubbed his hands and said cautiously.
"Haha, there's no need. These are your things." Ren Xue smiled and waved her hand. A wooden bucket that was the height of two people appeared on the ground.
"Why are there so many this time?" The shopkeeper looked at the things in front of him and said with some surprise.
"I'm afraid this is the last time I'll give it to you. By then, the surrounding land will have almost recovered. It will be enough to support you." Ren Xue turned around and walked outside.
"I thank Miss Ren Xue on behalf of everyone."
The shopkeeper suddenly burst into tears. At the same time, he knelt down and kowtowed a few times to Ren Xue's back.
"Outsider, this is not a place for you. Leave quickly."
Gu Zheng and the others had been watching from outside. When Ren Xue walked past them, she paused for a moment and carefully said this sentence. Then, she left with the two followers behind her.
"Why is there such a powerful mission here? I feel that they are not weaker than me."
After the other party had completely left, Meng Zhen said curiously. However, Gu Zheng didn't answer. She turned her head and saw that he was beside the wooden bucket.
"Hey, outsider, be careful. This is our thing. Don't touch it. Otherwise, you won't be able to leave this place." When the shopkeeper saw Gu Zheng appear there, he was also shocked. He immediately took two steps closer to him and said loudly.
"Is this what they drink?" Gu Zheng felt the aura inside and said thoughtfully.
"Did you hear that? If you dare to touch this thing, no one will let you go." The shopkeeper saw that Gu Zheng ignored his words and didn't intend to leave. He picked up a wooden stick and pointed it at Gu Zheng to threaten him.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, his vision blurred. He found that the weapon in his hand had disappeared and appeared in the hands of the woman.
"Don't be agitated. He's just an ordinary person." Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen who was glaring at him. He felt that the other party was an opponent of similar strength. He quickly stopped her. Otherwise, the other party would be completely finished. Then, he smiled at the other party carefully.
"I don't intend to take this thing. Don't be anxious. Can I ask you a few questions?"
Unfortunately, the other party didn't appreciate Gu Zheng's kindness. Instead, he started to retreat and shout, trying to attract the villagers outside. This time, his face changed slightly. Then, he went forward and grabbed the other party's collar and pressed him on the bench.
As for the other party's cry for help, naturally, it couldn't be spread out.
"I'm asking you now. Who is that woman called Ren Xue? Why did she appear here and give you these things?" Gu Zheng looked at the shopkeeper who was in a daze and asked directly.
He didn't want to waste too much time on the other party. If he didn't follow them in time, he was afraid that he would lose track of them.
The other party quickly and carefully revealed the matter. After Gu Zheng got the information he wanted, he left with Meng Zhen.
After a long time, the shopkeeper came back to his senses. He wanted to call for help subconsciously, but he realized that there was no one in front of him. He quickly went to the side of the wooden barrel. When he found that it was intact, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He didn't know what happened. But since the outsider had left and the barrel was still there, there was no problem.
The two figures sped on the ground and quickly entered the primitive forest. They moved nimbly and nimbly, rushing in a certain direction.
After half a day, Gu Zheng's figure suddenly stopped. However, Meng Zhen didn't notice it at all. It was only when Brush Pen shouted in her ear that she realized it. She hurriedly went back the way she came. On the way back, she saw Gu Zheng with a helpless look on his face. Her face was instantly dyed with a layer of red.
"Why didn't I notice it when I was down there?" Gu Zheng said helplessly.
"It's because I'm used to being down there. After a while, it will definitely be fine." Meng Zhen said with a red face.
"Brush Pen, watch him closely and remind him in time."
Gu Zheng could only do this. His opponent's personality was free and easy. If one were to say that he was like an inexperienced young girl, he was not stupid. He was very smart in some matters. If one were to say that he was smart, he would sometimes be stupid. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that at least in battle, he would not be stupid.
As he continued to walk forward with Meng Zhen, they finally stopped on a slightly protruding rock.
"You know that woman, right? Why are you looking for her? "
Meng Zhen couldn't help but ask curiously when she saw Gu Zheng standing on the rock and looking around.
"You heard what that ordinary person said just now, right?" Gu Zheng seemed to have expected her question. He didn't even turn his head and said.
"Of course I know. That person provided them with that liquid to maintain a strong vitality in their bodies. No wonder they are so energetic." Meng Zhen nodded and said.
"Yes. If I'm not wrong, that person left with us and came here to provide us with that liquid. I also noticed that this place used to be very prosperous. It's just that it has become so desolate in the past few thousand years."
"You didn't even ask and you know so much?" Meng Zhen jumped to Gu Zheng's side and looked at him suspiciously.
She and Gu Zheng had not separated from each other since the beginning. Naturally, she knew that he did not ask anyone.
"Observe? You know, as long as you observe, you can get the information you want. Of course, you also need a certain amount of experience. Of course, you don't know. I know you want to ask why we are following them, right? " Gu Zheng looked at Meng Zhen who was beside him. The latter kept nodding her head. Her big eyes were filled with desire.
"First of all, you've guessed one of them correctly. I know the other party. I originally wanted to find them, but I didn't expect to meet them here. They have a special healing ability. I want to ask them if they can heal the injuries in your body." Gu Zheng didn't keep the other party in suspense and directly said it.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Meng Zhen's eyes lit up and said immediately.
"Don't be anxious. Before they left, they said they were going to do something. It seems like they failed. They should be in a dangerous state now."
"Failed? Don't tell me you know them too. "Meng Zhen said carefully.
"You guessed right. I know them. So, we have to be careful and think of a way to save them." Gu Zheng looked at her as if she was smart.
"Then we have to save them. Not only for me, but also for your friends." Meng Zhen raised her fist and said seriously.
"Stop, stop. I haven't finished. Don't be so agitated. Let me ask you first. Do you know where they are? Just go like this. " Gu Zheng saw that Meng Zhen was about to rush forward. He immediately formed a defense in front of her and stopped her.
"I don't know. Do you?" Meng Zhen felt that she was a little impulsive. She quickly followed carefully.
"I don't know. But I'm bringing you with me. Without my orders, try not to act." Gu Zheng was not angry. He only said to Meng Zhen.
"I promise I won't act on my own. I think I'm too excited to come here. I can't suppress it. I'll control myself." Meng Zhen also felt that something was wrong with her. She immediately said.
"En, I know. Be careful. Now, you wait at the side. I'll find the other party."
Gu Zheng looked at the black strands in Meng Zhen's eyes. He did not say anything. Instead, he began to carefully search for the other party's last position.
He was sure that the other party would not be able to detect the mark he left on them. Now that he could not detect them, there was only one possibility. The other party had stepped into some kind of array that blocked his senses. Even if the mark was discovered and eliminated, he would still be able to sense it.
While Gu Zheng was searching for Ren Xue's location, Ren Xue had already stepped into the fog outside the valley. The two people following behind her also automatically dispersed. This was because they were originally here to monitor Ren Xue. Even if Ren Xue had made contributions, under this special situation, no matter who it was, as long as they went out, they would be monitored.
They were people who served her physically and mentally. They would not betray her. Ren Xue naturally did not say anything to them. This time, she had just returned and Lord Wood Wolf had asked her to go in.
In the valley, there was a lush forest. Every tree was more than a hundred feet tall. They were even thicker than the trees in the front courtyard. Countless branches as thick as buckets covered the sky. Ren Xue walked into a path that only one person could pass. The entire sky was dark except for some scattered light.
Ren Xue knew that this forest was all the clones of Lord Wood Wolf. They were helping him cultivate.
Moving along this straight path, Ren Xue soon came to the end. There was a big tree that was a hundred feet thick. It looked amazing just by looking at it. One could tell at a glance that it had lived for a long time.
Unfortunately, this incomparably huge ancient tree had mottled bark all over its body. It looked extremely old, not to mention the drooping and withered branches on top of its head. It indicated that the other party had fallen into the countdown of its life.
However, Ren Xue knew that this tree was only the other party's carrier. Whoever dared to underestimate it would die without knowing how because the body of this ancient tree was the fallen Demon God.
Of course, it was not a Demon God who had won the battle. It was only a trace of the other party's Divine Sense that escaped. It was only at the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Realm. However, Ren Xue knew that although the other party was severely injured, an ordinary peak Zenith Heaven Realm was no match for it if they really fought.
There was no other reason. The other party was too strange. She had seen with her own eyes a peak Zenith Heaven Realm who noticed the difference when passing by. The array outside naturally could not be hidden from him.
That peak Zenith Heaven Realm, who claimed to be the Goblin Vanguard Commander, was ordered to gather the Wu people to prepare for the final battle. When he saw the Demon God who was alone and injured, he was naturally overjoyed and greedy.
As long as he could devour the remnant of the Demon God, it would be very beneficial to him. It would also make it possible for his stagnant cultivation to break through again.
After a fruitless negotiation, the two people started fighting.
Things went beyond Ren Xue's expectations. She originally thought that the Demon God's doomsday was coming, but the battle ended in just half a day.
That seemingly extremely powerful Goblin was pulled into an unknown space by Wood Wolf and carefully disappeared. Wood Wolf also suffered serious injuries. Many deep cracks appeared on her body. As for how serious they were, she did not know and did not try to resist. The other party parasitized this ancient tree, which was innately restraining them, not to mention that its cultivation was higher than theirs.
As for whether it was sealed or dead, although Ren Xue did not know at first, she guessed that the other party was already dead from some of the conversation later.
"Lady Wood Wolf, I'm back."
When they reached the end, Ren Xue lowered her head and said respectfully.
