Inside the cave, only Bluesea's emotional narration could be heard.
He was able to narrate his simple experience in the past few days in his own unique way. It was as if he was letting others experience everything he had experienced, causing others' mood to rise and fall along with him.
"Well told. I haven't heard such a story for a long time. It's really wonderful."
After Bluesea finished narrating his experience, Meng Zhen praised. Looking at her, it was as if she was listening to a story. Of course, the essence was actually a story.
When Bluesea heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood in his heart. He had painstakingly worked hard, but in the eyes of the other party, he was just a storyteller. He simply turned to Gu Zheng.
"You have worked hard. I will tell everything you have experienced to Princess Honeylush. When the time comes, I will not forget your contribution." At this time, Gu Zheng and Bluesea had reached an agreement. Seeing Bluesea's expression, even if he didn't hear a word, he knew what to say.
"Master Gu, this is what I should do. There is no need to go through so much trouble!" Bluesea's face suddenly became excited. However, he still spoke modestly.
"If it is your contribution, then it is your contribution. No one can take it away. Now, we need to continue looking for Princess Honeylush's traces." Gu Zheng saw that the black pillar in front of him had completely disappeared. He pulled Bluesea out. He still needed to let Bluesea continue looking for Princess Honeylush. Time was of the essence. He still had other things to do. He didn't have time to talk nonsense with Bluesea.
"No, Master Gu, we can't leave now. Princess Honeylush's item has been taken away by them. It is not only a message, but also a very powerful magic weapon. There must be something important left on it. Perhaps there is a message left on it. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been left there. In the end, I can only determine the location of Princess Honeylush's disappearance, but I don't know what to do next." Bluesea was anxious and immediately spoke a lot. He even spoke incoherently. It could be seen how important that thing was.
"You mean, you were able to chase after us because the other party deliberately left a mark?" However, Gu Zheng still felt that something was wrong from Bluesea's words.
"Yes. Every time the other party went to a place, they would deliberately leave a trace of their aura and a signal." Seeing Gu Zheng's expression, Bluesea took out a dozen rice-sized pearls from his body, each of them exuding a fragrant smell.
Gu Zheng took them and sensed them carefully. There was a message on each of them.
"Brother Gu, I'll wait for you over there to help me!"
Every one of them was exactly the same, which meant that these messages were all given to him. But why didn't he receive them? Just as he was thinking about it, he remembered that he was still in the Black Dungeon a while ago, so he probably didn't receive any messages from the other party. But now, the other party must have sent him a message, as if they needed him for something.
"It's not like we didn't try to contact you before. By the time we discovered that something was wrong and discovered these things, you still hadn't appeared. Thinking that you must have been delayed by something, we decided to search for you. We can't delay the search for Princess Honeylush," Blue Ocean immediately explained when he saw Gu Zheng's expression.
"I don't blame you. You did the right thing. So, that thing is very important?" Gu Zheng naturally understood what Bluesea meant. After such a long time, it was possible that he hadn't received the message. Naturally, they couldn't have been waiting for him.
"If my guess is correct, there is definitely information about her final destination left behind on it. Like I said earlier, I can only deduce that she disappeared here. Without that thing, it is impossible for us to know where she went next," Blue Ocean said with certainty.
"If that's the case, it seems we'll have to find that Demon God," Gu Zheng turned to look at Sen Yan. "I wonder if we can meet her again."
"Sure, follow me!"
Sen Yan still had that cold expression on her face as she led them away from this place and returned to the place where they first met. The silver ball was still floating there, as if it knew they would come.
"Do you want to thank me? No need. You should leave this place as soon as possible. "
Seeing that Gu Zheng had rescued Bluesea, the silver ball was much happier than Gu Zheng in the depths of its heart. At least this fiend who had killed two of its companions could leave this place as soon as possible.
Only when Bluesea left would it be able to let loose. Bluesea was too strange, especially that old ancestor. If Bluesea were to be summoned, it would be impossible for it to escape in its current situation. This was also why it had captured Bluesea's people to force him to do this.
Without Bluesea's threat, it really didn't care about the others nearby.
It was impossible to say that it wasn't ruthless towards Gu Zheng. The backup plan it had set up in the Phoenix Secret Realm was actually destroyed by him. Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state.
"I want that thing you found at the bottom of the sea. That's why I'm here," Gu Zheng waited until Sen Yan had gone over before stating his condition.
"What is it? I've salvaged many things over the years. There are quite a few good things," the silver ball asked instead.
"You tell me."
Gu Zheng pushed Bluesea forward. The other party immediately described it with gestures. The silver ball looked at him for a long time before it understood what he was talking about.
"You're talking about this thing?"
The phantom of a square blue token slowly floated in front of them. Some special patterns could be seen on it, but it still hadn't been activated. It was obvious that the silver ball hadn't discovered the key to it. After all, it was a secret method unique to the sea race.
Since it couldn't read the information inside, it meant that the other party didn't know Xiangxiang's final whereabouts. This also indirectly eliminated Bluesea's suspicions.
If it was really the other party's doing, then the other party was really powerful. At this stage, wanting to fight against the four seas alone was simply courting death. The other party didn't seem stupid either. If they really found it, they might just give it away to avoid trouble.
"It's this thing!" Before Gu Zheng could stop it, Bluesea said excitedly.
Sure enough, the phantom dissipated in the air in the next moment. The silver ball floated directly in front of Gu Zheng. He knew who the person in charge was.
"If you want this thing, then I'm not giving it to you for free."
From Bluesea's desire, Bluesea could easily tell that this thing was very important to them. He was just too lazy to crack the seal on it. Otherwise, he would have been able to obtain the information inside. But now, it seemed that he could sell it for a good price.
"We already agreed to leave. What else do you want?" Meng Zhen said angrily from the side.
"That's just the condition of your friend. If you're willing to send him back, I'll also support the exchange. I'll give you this, and the previous condition won't change." The silver ball said indifferently.
"Don't!" When Bluesea heard this, he immediately looked at Gu Zheng. He didn't want to be forced to swallow the pill and become their slave. Of course, in the end, he might be directly executed. That was the most terrifying thing.
"I don't agree to this condition. Tell me what you want to do to give it to us." Gu Zheng took a step forward, almost touching the silver ball, and said calmly.
"I don't have many conditions. A thousand miles south, there's a group of troublesome people. I need the other party's Sacrificial Spiritual Beads in exchange. If you agree, then agree. If you don't agree, then stop here." The silver ball was now fearless.
"Who is the other party? How can I catch them without any information? "Gu Zheng said with a frown.
"You can ask her about this. I'll go back first. The next time you look for me, I hope you've already caught the other party."
After saying that, the silver ball completely disappeared from this place.
Gu Zheng sighed in his heart. The other party was too vigilant. He had just started to move, and the other party had already left without leaving any trace.
Although Gu Zheng didn't know where the other party was hiding, he was sure that they were on this island. He wanted to talk nonsense with the other party and find their location. Unfortunately, the other party didn't give him any time. They were really vigilant. He turned his head and looked at Sen Yan.
"The creature that the Lord is talking about is a group of winged water snakes. The Sea Tribe here calls them Teng Snakes. They can be considered as a member of the Sea Tribe. They are just a group of unusual water demons. Their Sacrificial Spiritual Bead is the leader of the entire tribe. The mission that the Lord gave us is to capture the Sacrificial Spiritual Bead alive!" Sen Yan said expressionlessly.
"That Sacrificial Spiritual Bead must be very difficult to deal with." Meng Zhen said.
"That's right. I've already gone there a few times. The other party ran away every time. The other party isn't strong, but they're very agile when it comes to escaping. They're even more difficult to deal with than ordinary Sea Tribe members."
"Leave it to us. When we return, you'll definitely be satisfied!" Gu Zheng stopped Meng Zhen from asking any more questions and said to Sen Yan.
"As long as you capture the other party alive, the Lord will definitely give you the item. Remember, you must capture him alive."
Her words made Gu Zheng realize that no matter what he did now, it wouldn't be of much use. If he wanted to complete his plan, he had to satisfy her wishes.
"Let's leave this place first!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Zheng took them and left the place. As for Qi Changlai, he didn't go and greet him.
Not far from here, there was a relatively large reef. Their group temporarily stopped on top of it. As soon as they landed, Lan Hai kept apologizing to Gu Zheng.
"I'm sorry, I went too far just then."
He knew that if not for his performance, the other party wouldn't have realized how important that item was to them. Perhaps they'd just ask for a condition, or none at all.
"It's not your fault. As long as we mention it, the other party will definitely realize the importance of the item and make things difficult for us," Gu Zheng said, stopping Lan Hai's movements.
In truth, the other party might have long been watching their performance from the cages and knew everything about them. But he needed Lan Hai to draw their attention as well. Only he himself didn't know that.
"Then what should we do next? We haven't found Tang Li's daughter yet. " Meng Zhen didn't offer any more suggestions. He'd do as he'd thought before and let Gu Zheng do whatever he wanted. In any case, he wasn't as smart as the man.
"You don't need to worry about that. Go back to the city now and meet up with Tang Li. Tell him not to worry, I've already found a way to save his daughter. It'll take some time."
"But we haven't even seen her this time. Will there be any accidents?" Meng Zhen was still a little worried at Gu Zheng's words.
"There's no need. I've already gotten the basic information. The other party is fine now, but locked up in another place. That place is even more secretive, so it's impossible for us to sneak in and rescue her."
Naturally, they didn't know about these things. It was all in that secret space. Gu Zheng had already learned most of the things here through the exchange of information with the other party. Other than the location of the Demon God, which the other party wasn't willing to divulge, everything else had been divulged.
Moreover, the other party had admitted that there was no way for him to find the demon god's location.
Gu Zheng naturally understood why the other party was holding back. He was still hoping that if he failed, he'd place all his hopes on the other party. To tell the truth, despite his solemn vow, whether or not he could succeed in the end was still a question. No matter what, he had to try first.
If he really failed, then he'd force his way to the demon god. He refused to believe that he couldn't find the other party.
However, if that were to happen, the innocent Blue Medicine Sect would most likely be annihilated. He wouldn't do that until the very last moment. To him, that would go against his own beliefs.
He'd rather concoct a copy to deceive the other party. No matter what, he'd wait until the very last moment. It wasn't at that stage yet.
"Be careful then. We're leaving."
Meng Zhen said before leaving with Lan Hai. The rest of the matter wasn't something they could interfere with.
Gu Zheng watched as their figures disappeared into the distance. Then, he flew towards the South. Although he didn't know why the other party wanted the sacrifice, if he could capture the other party first and exchange for the sacrifice, he could also exchange for Tang Qing. That way, there wouldn't be any risk at all.
.....
In the depths of the South Sea, it was rare for the weather to be so good. A gentle breeze blew across the surface of the sea. Layers upon layers of shallow waves rippled on the surface of the sea. Occasionally, there would be a large group of fish swimming quickly below. A few naughty unknown fishes would also jump out of the sea to feel the scorching heat on their bodies. Then, they'd fall into the sea and enjoy the refreshing feeling.
Nearby, on a large reef, an octopus was lying comfortably on top of it, enjoying the beautiful weather. Its tentacles would hit the surface of the sea from time to time, splashing a large amount of water onto its body and slightly reducing the temperature of its body.
This was only a Sea Clan that hadn't gained sentience, but its strength wasn't bad. One must know that under normal circumstances, the bigger the body, the stronger the strength. Normal creatures wouldn't dare to challenge a creature that was stronger than themselves.
This wasn't the first time it was basking in the sun here. There weren't any creatures that were stronger than itself in this area, so its vigilance was very low. Little did it know that not far below, there was a creature that was only the length of a human's arm, staring at it with sharp eyes. Its vertical pupils were constantly expanding and contracting, as if it was thinking about something.
It was a gaze that was used to capture its prey.
After a long time, this two-colored snake-like creature's eyes kept moving, and it made up its mind. It twisted its body and slithered up silently. However, the octopus still didn't notice and was still leisurely enjoying itself.
However, the strength of this octopus was obviously much stronger than this water snake. Even if the other party didn't reveal a trace of aura, when the water snake approached, the octopus's vigilance made it raise its huge head and look around. The surrounding tentacles waved faster and more violently.
For a time, pillars of water exploded around it, and the surrounding seawater began to become violent. However, it still didn't know the source of the danger in its heart and where it came from.
The sense of danger in its heart grew stronger and stronger. On this side, the octopus was ready to return to the bottom of the sea. However, at this time, on the surface of the water not far away, there was a sudden burst of water, and a small figure suddenly emerged from the water. Under the reflection of the sun, the two colors of the body were very conspicuous.
The octopus instantly locked on to the source of the danger, but when it saw the other party, it wasn't so afraid in its heart. It was a small creature that wasn't even as big as its tentacles. It would be very easy for it to deal with the other party. Immediately, two of its tentacles shot towards the other party like cannonballs.
It wanted the other party to know the consequences of daring to provoke it. In just one round, it could tear the place to pieces.
However, just as it was about to attack, two thin wings suddenly appeared on the water snake's side, flapping slightly. If it weren't for the fact that the wings were the same color as the body, it would have been almost ignored.
The water snake's body twisted and turned, and the two tentacles slid past its body. However, the other party's tentacles were also cut in half at the same time. The wings on its body were also stained with a large amount of blood, dripping down along the edges.
The octopus roared angrily and painfully. Its body leaped into the air, and its huge body pressed down on the other party. At the same time, all of its tentacles were like javelins, with a slight sound of breaking the air, piercing towards the other party, sealing all the space around the water snake. At the same time, it opened its huge mouth, ready to swallow this small thing that dared to offend it, to ensure that the other party had no way to escape.
Seeing this, the water snake's pupils shrank again, and a layer of light flashed across its body. Its whole body suddenly turned, and its whole body was like a rapidly spinning top, turning into a small tornado, rushing towards the other party's mouth.
The octopus was overjoyed when it saw this, and a layer of blue light emerged in the air, wanting to completely capture the other party.
"Poof!"
Blue blood soared into the sky, and the huge body of the octopus fell weakly from the air toward the sea. There was still a look of disbelief in its eyes. It couldn't imagine that it was so powerful, how could it be killed by a small thing?
On its head, a big hole had been broken open, and it couldn't be more dead.
The water snake that killed the octopus accelerated in the air, and rushed into the octopus's head again. Then the dead octopus fell, and its body began to slide, swimming towards the deep sea by itself. Even the hole in its head had been restored to its original state.
However, its eyes had completely stopped moving, and there was no breath on its body, indicating that the other party was still a corpse.
As the octopus completely disappeared from the sea, Gu Zheng's figure appeared at the place where they fought. He only looked around a little to feel the other party's remaining breath, and then he also fell into the sea below, chasing the other party's breath all the way.
He had searched the nearby area for three days, and finally caught the other party's trace. Naturally, he couldn't let it go, otherwise, who knew when the other party would come out next time. He had roughly searched the nearby area, but he didn't find any trace of the other party. Fortunately, he had been paying attention to the nearby area, and only knew when the other party came out.
