At this moment, Meng Zhen felt goosebumps all over her body, but her eyes drifted to Gu Zheng.
This time, it was slightly different from the previous time. Last time, when the other party appeared, it was completely unexpected. If they had not carefully observed the other party, they would not have been able to discover the other party's cultivation. If they had really charged forward recklessly, they would have definitely suffered a great loss.
This time, before the opponent arrived, the air was already filled with its terrifying aura, causing Meng Zhen to tremble slightly.
It was an instinctive fear towards the strong.
"Don't worry, I will fight it. You just need to stay at the side and open up the tunnel. Then, we will run together." Gu Zheng patted Meng Zhen's shoulder, and a warm current dispelled the fear in her heart.
His mind was extremely strong, so how could he be affected by the opponent's aura? Only someone like Meng Zhen who lacked experience would be affected. Of course, it was also related to her birth.
The opponent was neither human nor demon. She was not even a thing. This was not scolding Meng Zhen, because Gu Zheng had asked her out of curiosity before. She told him everything. Even if she was born in the Black Dungeon, she was just a creature that appeared in the imagination. She was not the real body that Gu Zheng thought the painting scroll was. Of course, her foundation was still using the painting scroll.
The painting scroll only appeared after she was born. If the painting was alive, the person would live. If the painting died, the person would die. If the painting scroll was her real body, it could be said that the painting scroll was her real body. Naturally, under normal circumstances, she would not use the painting scroll to fight. Although her combat power would increase, the danger level would also increase greatly. After all, it was not an ordinary treasure.
The world was really big, and there were all kinds of strange things.
Meng Zhen nodded and stepped back skillfully. She picked up Mao Zhen so that she could open up the tunnel at any time. In fact, she did not even need to use her strength. Mao Zhen opened his eyes wide. His reaction speed was much faster than Meng Zhen's.
As the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, the monster that was chasing them appeared in front of Gu Zheng and the rest. Its entire body was crawling on the side of the wall. It did not have any eyes exposed, only five tentacles waving five pearls. It was dark and bright at times, like eyes. It was sizing up Gu Zheng.
Of course, Gu Zheng took the opportunity to size up his opponent, wanting to find his opponent's weakness. However, if he wanted to use his eyes to see his opponent's weakness, it would be wishful thinking. At most, he would be able to see his opponent's attack patterns.
He could easily tell what the four of them were for. Those things had probably all entered his body. The white ball in the middle looked familiar to him, but he couldn't figure out what it was. However, since it was in the middle, it was obviously more powerful.
In particular, there was a thin layer of black mist surrounding the other party. Although it looked inconspicuous, Gu Zheng kept reminding himself in his heart that he could still resist the other three types of poison. However, if he were to be contaminated by that thing, he would be in big trouble. Thus, he dispelled the idea of using close combat to subdue the other party.
Just as he was about to harass the other party from afar to test his strength, the other party made a move first.
Although Gu Zheng was thinking so much, in fact, in the blink of an eye, he heard an insect-like chirp. The black ball above his head flashed, and a black mist sprayed out towards him.
Part of the black mist in the air suddenly rushed towards Gu Zheng, while the other part turned into ghostly shadows. Their speed suddenly increased greatly, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed in front of Gu Zheng. They still didn't stop rushing towards Gu Zheng, as if they couldn't wait to become one with him.
Gu Zheng's body suddenly propped up a five-colored light. He was careful. The five rings were already on his body, so there wasn't any energy to be provided to him. He didn't need any energy to be provided, but it would be easier for him to use them.
With his current strength, defeating an expert of the same level didn't just rely on strength. Transcendent artifacts were also very important. What was important was quality, not quantity.
A golden light suddenly flashed from his body, directly enveloping Gu Zheng. The ghostly shadows directly lay on top of it, their bodies constantly wriggling. They couldn't break through to interfere with him, but the entire shield began to flicker.
After sensing the strength of the ghostly shadows, he knew that if he let the other party break through, his mind and body would be affected.
This monster should also be cultivated by the Demon God himself as a support. However, the other party didn't use it to deal with the Vermilion Bird. Obviously, the other party felt that he could take down the Vermilion Bird and didn't need this monster to make a move.
In particular, the other party had a black bead that was a great threat to him. Even the defense around the other party was created by the other party, so it should be the source of the Demon God's power.
Of course, it couldn't be the Primal Chaos Qi. He had the ability to get it, but he didn't have the ability to absorb it. It was only similar to a certain extent. Even so, its lethality was very strong.
However, the stronger the other party was, the more Gu Zheng wanted to cut off the other party's arm first.
Since the other party was so arrogant, thinking that he could deal with the Vermilion Bird and this monster could deal with the two of them, they would have to pay the price.
"Leave this place!"
Gu Zheng shouted at Meng Zhen, who was behind him. At the same time, his body began to retreat. The black fog had already drifted over. His defense could block the ghostly shadows, but it might not be able to stop the black fog from seeping through.
Seeing that Gu Zheng was trying to escape, the monster let out an ear-piercing screech again. The wall that Meng Zhen was casting his spell on actually split apart from the center of the golden vortex. It moved to the sides, trying to interrupt Meng Zhen's spell.
However, the golden vortex quickly formed in the air. A golden tunnel cut through the void and directly locked onto a spot in the distance.
"Haha, are you stupid? As long as I successfully lock onto the location, it's useless for you to move away." Mao Zhen's gloating voice rang out in the air.
He wasn't afraid of the other party finding out. After all, the other party couldn't disappear instantly. This little bit of time was enough for him to finish casting his spell. Besides, looking at the other party's stupid look, he probably didn't even know what he was talking about.
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's leave this place first." Gu Zheng didn't want to fight the other party head-on. He took the lead and left a sentence before entering the tunnel.
"Hurry up and leave!" Mao Zhen shouted at Meng Zhen when he saw that the defense left by Gu Zheng in the distance was about to collapse. The monster on the other side was also on the wall. Its eight legs were moving up and down, and it was quickly coming over.
Meng Zhen was then brought into the golden tunnel by Mao Zhen. In fact, she had also reacted at the same time. However, she couldn't stop Mao Zhen from escaping eagerly. Soon, they appeared in another place.
"You go to the back and continue to prepare to teleport away. I'll block the other party." Gu Zheng saw Meng Zhen coming over and quickly arranged for her.
Seeing that the other party was foolishly following him, the moment the other party was about to come out, he immediately attacked and slashed at the tentacle in the middle.
Gu Zheng knew that the moment he came out, his body was extremely slow. It was caused by the rules of the tunnel. He couldn't control his body at all.
A ray of cold light flashed.
The Cloud Desolate Sword landed on the other party's body with an unparalleled aura. The first thing it hit was the layer of black fog outside. It instantly slashed a hole. However, when it was only half an inch in, the seemingly weak layer of black fog suddenly exploded with a huge force. It blocked Gu Zheng's attack, but it couldn't penetrate any further. Some of the black fog even wanted to spread along the Cloud Desolate Sword. Gu Zheng had no choice but to withdraw his weapon.
His sneak attack was actually blocked by the other party. It was unbelievable. He was confident that he had used at least 80% of his strength in this attack. Originally, he thought that even if he couldn't injure the other party, he could at least teach the other party a lesson. In the end, he was almost taught a lesson.
He was even more afraid of the black fog. Seeing that the other party had regained control of its body, Gu Zheng immediately gave up his attack and flashed back. Under his feet, a black hole was formed and he was almost sucked in.
"Run."
Gu Zheng didn't want to fight the other party head-on. Although he couldn't see the other party's expression, he knew that the other party was angry. From the frequency of its tentacles dancing, he could only see a shadow.
This time, when Gu Zheng turned around, Meng Zhen's body had already stretched out. When Gu Zheng opened his mouth, she had already disappeared. She left first so that Gu Zheng wouldn't have to worry about her.
However, when they left, the other party, who had already been provoked, naturally followed them. However, when it followed them, it was immediately hit in the head. Gu Zheng, who was unwilling to give up, once again hid at the side. When the other party came out, he immediately pretended to be full and slashed at the other party.
This was the best way he could do at the moment. It was also the strongest attack. After all, in terms of time, it was impossible for him to prepare a more powerful attack.
Although it was the same strength, Gu Zheng could clearly see that the distance of the Cloud Desolate Sword this time was slightly longer than before. It seemed that the other party's defense had weakened.
However, before Gu Zheng could happily withdraw his weapon and think that he could injure the other party with a few more attacks, a few red figures instantly crawled out from the ground and appeared in the surroundings. They didn't give Gu Zheng any time to react and directly exploded, turning the surroundings into a world of red. No one could see what was happening inside.
"Gu Zheng!"
Although she knew that Gu Zheng would be fine, Meng Zhen still couldn't help but shout. She looked inside worriedly, not knowing what was going on inside.
Soon, Gu Zheng rushed out from inside. He looked a little haggard. His body was soaked in some red liquid and was full of bumps and bruises. However, it was only a superficial injury.
"Damn it! We were set up. Let's leave first. "Gu Zheng said angrily, reminding Meng Zhen to leave quickly.
The two of them immediately left through the opened passage. The ghost behind them naturally wouldn't let them go and quickly followed them. Before the passage closed, it charged out.
It looked clumsy, but that didn't mean it was stupid. It had suffered once, yet it still hadn't learned its lesson.
When it came out of the tunnel, the enemy that had injured it before actually appeared again and attacked it. It was as if the enemy was treating it like a fool. This time, almost at the same time that the enemy appeared, it immediately burst out a cloud of green mist and began to shrink rapidly like flowing water.
This time, it wanted the other party to have a taste of its power. However, it saw a golden light flash in the distance and the two figures had already disappeared. Only then did it feel that something was wrong.
BOOM!
A huge explosion rang out, and even the nearby half of the wall had countless cracks. It could be seen how powerful the explosion was this time.
"It wouldn't chase after us, right?"
On the other side, Meng Zhen felt the commotion coming from the other side. However, the passage had already closed. If the other party wanted to find them, it would take quite some time.
Although Gu Zheng had only stayed for a short time, she had also seen him summon a four-colored ball that she couldn't resist. It had transformed into her appearance. Naturally, she wanted to teach the other party a lesson.
"Not only will it not chase after us, it will probably be even angrier. Let's start running on the way back."
Gu Zheng knew just how strong the Gu Zheng he had left behind was. If he used it to ambush an expert of the same level, the other party would at least be heavily injured and unable to escape. Of course, the other party wouldn't give him such an obvious opening. This would only work if it was a monster with a low IQ.
Of course, as a price, Gu Zheng couldn't use his five rings for at least a month. This was equivalent to cutting off one of his arms for a short period of time.
But was it worth it?
It was definitely worth it!
Gu Zheng knew that what he said to Meng Zhen was right. Those attacks wouldn't be able to seriously injure the other party. He had tested the other party's strength and defense before. At most, he would only be able to slightly injure the other party. To that monster, it might not even be bothered.
However, his goal wasn't to injure the other party, but to infuriate the other party.
He could now see that most of the other party's strength came from the tentacles on its body. Moreover, it wasn't born naturally. It was modified by the Demon God to have such strength.
Of course, on the surface, its strength was very strong. However, if it wasn't cultivated bit by bit, it would seem a little clumsy. It was like a strong man with infinite strength. In front of the other party, Gu Zheng was a young man. Although he couldn't block a few fierce attacks, as long as the other party didn't touch him, no matter how strong the other party was, it wouldn't be much of a deterrent.
As soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, the whole ground suddenly shook violently as if there was an earthquake. Then, an extremely long and angry cry rang out in the air. Anyone could hear the anger that couldn't be vented.
"It seems that you're right. I have an ominous feeling in my heart that's getting stronger." Meng Zhen didn't stop moving his hands. He confirmed Gu Zheng's guess.
After the golden vortex on the wall formed, countless black fog suddenly seeped out from the surrounding walls. It turned into claws and quickly grabbed at them. Some of them even blocked the passage of the vortex, preventing them from teleporting away.
Moreover, compared to before, the black fog this time was obviously much stronger. Even Gu Zheng had to attack twice to destroy the black hand that was blocking them and rush into the passage.
However, when they came out, there were spots of red water on the surrounding walls again. An extremely strong pressure made it difficult for them to move.
This time, it was Mao Zhen who did it. Due to his special nature, he wasn't afraid of this kind of evil. Even if the opponent's strength was far greater than his, he could still quickly draw an escape passage in the air. With a slight force, before the red figure below could climb out, he brought them along and disappeared again.
Then, Meng Zhen finally understood what Gu Zheng meant by running away as much as they could.
No matter where they went, the other party followed them like gangrene attached to the bone. The three different attacking methods were constantly chasing after them, constantly appearing around them. As long as they were one step slower, they might be entangled in the same place and receive endless attacks. It was very likely that they would fall into this trap at any time.
The opponent was really angry and wanted to kill the two of them at all costs.
In the opponent's territory, it could be said to be very dangerous. At every moment, the opponent's attacks were getting stronger and stronger. They had to look for an imperceptible gap. If there was a slight mistake, they would be doomed eternally. However, Mao Zhen was having a hard time. He was shouting and bringing them back and forth. It was just that Meng Zhen had exhausted himself a little.
Even so, Gu Zheng didn't let Meng Zhen deliberately leave the area. The surrounding aura was getting fiercer and fiercer. Almost all the walls in the area were stained with different colors. There was almost no place to stand. However, his expression was getting more and more relaxed.
Everything was as he had expected. The next step was to give the opponent a fatal blow.
When Meng Zhen saw Gu Zheng's expression become more relaxed, the worry in his heart lessened. The danger around them was no longer as intense as it was in the beginning.
"Go find the opponent and quickly open a super long distance passage. After that, open another super long distance passage and leave this place. Leave the rest to me." At this moment, Gu Zheng suddenly instructed.
Without thinking, Meng Zhen immediately ordered Mao Zhen to open a passage that was one floor away from the opponent. As they had deliberately avoided the opponent's position, there were still a few clean passages.
How could her movements be hidden from the ghost? Seeing that they were so close, it quickly crawled over. This was because it also realized that besides exhausting itself, it probably couldn't do anything to the opponent if it wanted to rely on its previous attacks. It wanted to kill them at a close distance.
But when he arrived here, he found that the other party had opened up another passage. The man who injured him before stretched out his hand and waved at him, then laughed provocatively and went into the passage, not giving the other party any time to react.
This made the monster explode in anger. How could it not know what the other party meant? It immediately sped up and rushed in again.
It already knew how strong the other party was and knew that they couldn't do anything to it. It could be said that it had nothing to fear. It immediately chased after the other party. Even if the other party ambushed it, it wasn't afraid. At most, it would only suffer some light injuries and it would recover quickly.
When it came out, the other party was preparing to escape again. The golden vortex on the wall made it extremely angry. If it wasn't for that, the other party would have been trapped and killed by it. However, there was nothing it could do. It could only chase after the other party.
However, when it saw that only the woman had left and the other man that it hated stayed behind and looked at it cautiously with a weapon in his hand, it didn't hesitate anymore. The black bead that it hadn't used all this time flashed and covered the golden vortex with a layer, completely sealing it.
It believed that the other party wouldn't be able to break through this layer of defense and leave no matter what. Previously, it just didn't react. When it found out, the other party didn't want to fight it head-on. It chased back and forth a few times but couldn't catch up, so it simply used magic to besiege them. Unfortunately, it didn't have much effect.
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't escape, the monster swung out once again, and a stream of red water instantly rushed past Gu Zheng's side, forming a thick red water screen behind him. The surface of the red water screen was like water ripples that kept on flowing. A few red figures stood up inside, completely blocking off Gu Zheng's escape route.
At this time, the monster excitedly rushed toward Gu Zheng. Seeing the other party raise a black water ball without any aura at all, it shook its tentacles disdainfully and a few light beams instantly shot out.
