When Gu Zheng entered, he was also in this region. In an extremely distant place, there was a very large space.
At this moment, a ball of black fog and a ball of red fog were fighting in mid-air. Suddenly, the black fog broke away from the battle and transformed back into its body. The red fog did the same. However, it was in the form of a huge beast that was floating in mid-air.
His entire body was burning with crimson flames, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly. A strange pressure emanated from his body, causing others to involuntarily prostrate themselves in worship. Two abnormally bright eyes, the size of lanterns, were staring intently at each other.
"Are you afraid? Or do you want to give up on that unrealistic idea in your heart? " The Vermilion Bird flapped its wings slightly. Sparks fell from it onto the ground, still burning.
"How is that possible? I just wanted to laugh." The Demon God shook his head and laughed hoarsely. "I thought your backup plan would be very powerful. It's just an early-stage Zenith Heavenly Realm and a late-stage Zenith Heavenly Realm. You want to watch them break the formation outside? You've really disappointed me. "
"What do you mean by this? Do you want to use this opportunity to recover? I don't mind. " The Vermilion Bird didn't understand what he meant at all. She was very puzzled. Where did her backup plan come from? Hence, she said coldly.
She could clearly feel the other party's strength here and knew where she was. Just as Gu Zheng had guessed, she stayed here to prevent the outside world from affecting Elder Xiong.
However, she couldn't use her trump card now. The other party was in perfect condition. If she used it from the beginning, she might not be able to kill him. Especially in this place, which was the other party's territory. As long as she didn't kill the other party, it was basically impossible to kill the other party. Hence, she had to kill him in one strike.
"What do I mean? You're still trying to confuse me. You came here yourself to restrain me and then let your companions save that giant bear." The Demon God shook his head as if he was happy that he saw through the other party's plan. "Unfortunately, you don't know that I left a trick over there. Hence, I was also teleported here."
"You don't need to ask if they're my companions. In short, your end is here."
The Vermilion Bird naturally knew that she didn't have any companions at all. Perhaps someone else had sensed the commotion here and was mistaken by the other party.
She didn't realize that Gu Zheng had already rushed over. When he wanted to help Elder Xiong, he was also teleported here.
The Vermilion Bird let out a loud cry. While it was still in midair, a wave of fire had already risen from its body and rushed towards the other party.
The Demonic God only sneered. His body was surrounded by a cold black fog, and he also stepped forward to fight with the other party.
For a time, the place was filled with the rumbling sounds of battle.
.....
"Rumble!"
At this moment, Gu Zheng, who was still following the tracks outside, suddenly felt the surroundings shake. He immediately stabilized his body and looked around.
What surprised him was that the passageways on both sides actually began to move, as if there was a huge disc under his feet that was rearranging and dividing the passageways above.
The passageways of different sizes in front of him were once again divided into several sections. Some of them directly fell down, revealing a pitch-black hole. When he saw this, Gu Zheng wanted to jump down to see what was down there. However, he stopped because of the danger in his heart.
The other walls were constantly reassembling. The originally straight passageway was divided into several sections in the middle. He didn't know where it led to. The marks that he had previously made to mark and guide him had also disappeared. It was as if he had arrived at a new area, but in reality, he hadn't moved at all.
After a full 15 minutes, the surroundings finally quieted down. Following the flashes of red light, where the intersecting walls intersected, the originally large gaps in the walls had already returned to normal.
At this moment, Gu Zheng had a kind of understanding. It seemed that this magic treasure had just been activated. It was in a static state before, which meant that Meng Zhen had also been pulled in at this moment.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng's spirit was lifted. He carefully walked forward. Just now, he wanted to follow the traces of the other party's battle and search for Meng Zhen. Now, it seemed that it had been completely destroyed. He could only start searching again. This time, when he tried to leave traces, they were completely repaired and disappeared in just a few breaths. He shook his head and directly walked forward.
He didn't know how big this place was, but he guessed that it wasn't small. This place was like a maze, and it wasn't really to trap them. There must be other methods.
After just walking past two sections, Gu Zheng heard a sound again. At the same time, the bottom of his feet trembled slightly. This clearly wasn't the walls trying to reassemble, and the sound came from in front of him.
Gu Zheng was a little curious, but his body honestly took a few steps back and stood in the middle of a crossroad. From the slightly familiar sound, it should be the sound of flowing water.
In just a few breaths of time, a blood-colored current that could be called a huge wave rushed over from a distance. It filled the entire passage. The rapid waves in front of him surged out in the air, but before they could fall, they were caught up by the waves behind and merged back into the passage.
Gu Zheng frowned, then stepped to the side. He only took two steps back and stood in the side passage. Then, the red water in front of him roared and rushed in front of him. The strange thing was that even though there was nothing on both sides of the passage, not a single drop of the water flowed in. It was as if it was firmly locked in this passage.
Gu Zheng stretched out a finger and directly inserted it into the red water in front of him without fear of danger. When he withdrew his finger, it was covered with a thick layer of red water. As if it had a life of its own, it drilled into his finger. However, a layer of faint golden light remained on the surface of his finger, preventing it from invading and spreading.
However, Gu Zheng did not find anything special about the red water. It was just like an ordinary stream of water. At most, it had a trace of spirituality that he did not know where it came from. It seemed to be the effect of the magic treasure itself.
Soon, the red water lost its vitality and turned into red smoke. This time, Gu Zheng's expression changed slightly. He exhaled from his mouth and directly blew away the red smoke.
Then, he looked in front of him. At this time, the red water had already left, but the passage had changed greatly.
The pitch-black stone wall was now dyed red. A layer of red liquid stuck to the surface, exactly the same as the one on Gu Zheng's finger. However, the other party had accumulated a lot of it, so it was especially sticky. It was very much like the liquid left behind by a crawling snail.
The entire passageway was contaminated, but the side passageway did not have the slightest bit of it. The two passageways were right next to each other, as if they were two different worlds.
What made Gu Zheng's expression change was that in the passage, wisps of red mist began to rise and spread throughout the passage.
He had tried this mist just now. The moment he came into contact with it, it could absorb the energy in his body, even his life force.
If he wanted to break through this contaminated passage, he would at least lose a lot of energy. For Gu Zheng, he couldn't avoid being absorbed by the other party.
He didn't know when the passage in front of him would be restored, so Gu Zheng could only turn and walk in another direction. At the same time, he muttered in his heart. The other party didn't seem to pay attention to Gu Zheng at all. If there were more red water, he would be in a very difficult situation.
He believed that the other party had the ability to fill this place up, but it didn't seem to care about them. He didn't know why, but to him, it was better. He had enough time to do other things.
After Gu Zheng left, a few red monsters emerged from the ground in the red passage. They wandered around for a while before walking in his direction.
These red monsters' bodies were like soft mud. As they walked, red mud the size of a palm fell from their bodies. They also emitted the same red mist, but they couldn't fill up the passage.
Gu Zheng, who gradually quickened his pace, naturally didn't know that something was following behind him. This was because he had already thought of a possibility. The Vermilion Bird was fighting fiercely with the other party at this time and didn't have time to pay attention to them. Perhaps in the other party's eyes, he was a little deterrent, and Meng Zhen was useless.
Since the other party was wholeheartedly fighting with the Vermilion Bird, most of the magic treasure's power would be concentrated there. However, if that was the case, what was the red river?
Gu Zheng couldn't understand at all. He had never seen the unique power inside. Moreover, he was sure that the red river didn't have any bloody smell. If it wasn't for the other party's strange characteristics, it would be similar to some kind of spiritual energy.
Without any clues, he could only make wild guesses. At the same time, he walked randomly in this maze. Occasionally, he would hear vibrations in the distance. He didn't know which passage was filled with the red passage again.
At this time, he directly walked forward and left his aura. If Meng Zhen saw it, she would follow.
Soon, his path forward was blocked by the red passage. He had no choice but to rush back. Even if he was burning with anxiety, there was nothing he could do.
In the blink of an eye, an incense stick of time passed. As for Gu Zheng, he had encountered a new difficulty. Several paths had joined together to seal off this area. Unless he took the risk and charged through the middle passage, he could only take a detour.
After thinking for a while, he chose the safe way. Who knew if there were other effects inside? Even if this magic treasure was helping the Demon God to fight, he didn't want to experience it himself.
"That is?"
When Gu Zheng returned to a passage, he suddenly saw seven or eight red figures in front of him. They were walking at the speed of a normal person. When he discovered them, they also discovered Gu Zheng at the same time. They roared excitedly and their bodies emitted a strange red light.
Their originally slow bodies suddenly doubled in speed. They had the speed of a normal person running. Even their bodies had doubled in size. The passage, which was not spacious to begin with, was now more than half of it.
Looking at the red fog emitted from their bodies and the things that fell on the ground. It was exactly the same as in the passage. He didn't know where they came from.
While thinking, he directly flicked his finger and an attack instantly fell on the body of the red figure in front.
"Boom!" There was an explosion!
The silhouette instantly exploded into pieces. However, the space within the range of the explosion was dyed red by the other party. Although it was only a small part of the explosion, it didn't look as dense as the passage. However, Gu Zheng still turned and left, heading in another direction. He had a bad premonition in his heart.
Not long after, he discovered that he was unknowingly surrounded by bloody passages in this area. Behind him, there were red figures chasing him from all directions. They even blocked some of the passages.
"I can't waste any more time. I have to speed up."
Gu Zheng knew that Zhu Niao was fighting hard over there. He had to hurry. Without hesitation, he looked at the normal passage on the opposite side. His body was covered in a layer of golden light and he directly rushed toward the other side.
The crossroad was less than ten feet from here to there. An ordinary person would only need to walk two or three times to cross it. It would take no more than a blink of an eye.
However, when Gu Zheng's body entered the red passage, it was as if he had entered the bottom of the sea. A huge pressure instantly hit him. The golden light outside his body burst out, but it couldn't completely dissipate. It made Gu Zheng feel as if he was carrying a heavy mountain. His waist was slightly pressed down.
However, Gu Zheng still resolutely took a step forward. His whole body had already entered the red passage. Even if the pressure soared again, he directly resisted it.
At the same time he entered, a ghost-like wailing sound rang out from the red passage. A red figure had already crawled out half of its body from the side of Gu Zheng's feet, its hands grabbing towards Gu Zheng's feet, but it was blocked outside.
These red figures didn't have high cultivation, but the red fog on their bodies was very difficult to deal with. At this time, the red fog had already corroded his body. He could clearly feel that the power in his body was constantly being extracted by the other party.
As for the power of life, it was impossible to draw it out by instinct alone.
At this time, Gu Zheng withstood the huge pressure and once again took a heavy step forward. As long as he took another step, he would be able to rush out of here.
As for the red figure that crawled up from below, his entire body was now exposed. He opened his arms, wanting to hug Gu Zheng. When he realized that he couldn't do so, his body suddenly flashed with a red light and he exploded with a loud bang.
At the same time, Gu Zheng had already raised one foot and was about to step forward. With the help of the other party's explosion, he directly rushed out of this area.
When he stepped over, the pressure on Gu Zheng's body suddenly disappeared. Only then did he look back.
In other places, more red figures had already crawled up. At the place where he was just now, two arms were revealed again, waving on the ground. The difficulty of dealing with this thing was higher than Gu Zheng imagined.
He could imagine that if he was really caught by these, not to mention that his mana would be sucked dry sooner or later, if the red river rushed over, he would be completely hopeless.
Looking at the red figure that was chasing after him, Gu Zheng quickened his footsteps and left this place.
It was already so difficult for him, let alone Meng Zhen. If he couldn't find the other party later, there would be a big problem.
In another area of this maze, Meng Zhen was carefully walking in the tunnel. She also wanted to meet up with Gu Zheng first. Walking into the empty tunnel, she was also afraid.
There was no blood-red river here like Gu Zheng had seen. Instead, it was so quiet that it was scary. It was as if something was lurking around. Walking in the tunnel, the sound of her own footsteps was terrifying.
"Are you afraid?" Meng Zhen looked around carefully and asked Mao Zhen in her hand.
"I'm afraid. The aura here is too terrifying. It's ten thousand times more terrifying than the monster from before. Even if we join forces, we won't be a match for them," Mao Zhen said honestly.
"Don't worry. With me protecting you, you will definitely be fine." Meng Zhen squeezed out a smile and comforted Mao Zhen. She wouldn't tell him that she was actually afraid.
"Master, can you open the tunnel to leave this place?" Mao Zhen hesitated for a moment before finally asking.
"Of course, but we have to bring Gu Zheng out with us." When Meng Zhen heard Mao Zhen's words, she was secretly happy. She felt that her efforts weren't wasted.
After arriving here, she had quickly observed her surroundings. She also knew that she had been sucked in by a magic treasure. This space was similar to the space of her painting scroll. Moreover, for some reason, the owner of this magic treasure didn't pay any attention to them. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to be so confident.
Of course, if the other party interfered when she was leaving, she wouldn't be able to leave at all. She didn't want him to worry about her.
Just as she was moving forward, black smoke suddenly came out from the walls around her. Very quickly, it formed irregular ghostly figures in the air and attacked Meng Zhen quickly.
From the outside, one couldn't tell the strength of these ghostly figures. Meng Zhen tried to test the waters with a few attacks that weren't fierce, but they were easily torn apart in mid-air. This was beyond their expectations.
This was the magic treasure of a Demon God. How could it be so weak? Meng Zhen was prepared to have a hard time surviving.
In the blink of an eye, the ghostly figures that filled the sky had turned into black fog and floated in the air. However, just as Meng Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, before the black fog floated over, Mao Zhen became anxious.
"This black fog can corrode one's mind. It can't be blocked. Don't let it stick to me."
As he said that, he flew backward. Meng Zhen's hand was still tightly held onto him as he pulled her along.
"I know. I'll run with you."
Meng Zhen naturally knew Mao Zhen's weakness. If she was infected by the black fog, she would be easily confused by the other party. She couldn't stay conscious forever in the black fog. The difference in strength between the two of them was too great. Perhaps only Gu Zheng wouldn't be affected by it.
However, the black fog was always with her. No matter where she went, the black fog would appear from both sides and condense into ghostly figures to chase after her.
She could also tell that the other party didn't care about them at all. Just relying on these ghostly figures was enough to put them in a difficult situation.
However, very quickly, the ghostly figures that came from all directions completely blocked their path. They were really trapped in a situation where they couldn't fight or not.
However, just as they were stuck in the middle, Meng Zhen leaned against the wall. Her face lit up as she immediately had a way to escape.
"Mao Zhen, quickly continue to open up the passage here. Let's go!"
Mao Zhen instantly understood Meng Zhen's idea. She didn't hesitate anymore. Very quickly, a golden light appeared on the wall. A golden whirlpool quickly formed and a passage was formed on the wall behind them.
Before the ghostly figures nearby could surround them, Meng Zhen had already jumped in and left this place.
