Taking the lamp, Gu Zheng toyed with it for a while. "Let's call it 'Demonic Lotus'!"
"Very clear and demonic, I like this name!"
Meow Meow's joyful voice paused. "Sir, since I was able to get the Demonic Lotus here, why don't we break open the small immortal formations of the other killer moves and see what's inside?"
"No need!" Gu Zheng smiled. "We've already broken the formation sealing the immortal essence. Besides the one with the Demonic Lotus, we've also broken the one with the skeletal sphere. Every time we break an immortal formation, there's a danger of triggering a chain reaction. Besides, there's still treasure waiting for us on the second floor. There's no need to stay here and risk our lives. Let's leave now and return to the second floor."
Gu Zheng brought Meow Meow back to the second floor and immediately set up a pot to cook some delicious food for Meow Meow, who had worked hard to protect him in the core of the immortal formation. Then he began to explore the rooms that had yet to be opened.
At this moment, Cao Yi, who had been sitting cross-legged in the core of the second floor, stood up, the trace of ashen on her face fading away.
"That damned Yang Qingqiu," Cao Yi muttered. "He's still not here yet. Why is it taking so long to catch a few refined corpses?"
The 'Yang Qingqiu' Cao Yi spoke of was the fat man who had been crippled by Gu Zheng and thrown into the immortal formation space. Cao Yi had separated from Yang Qingqiu because she needed to treat her old injuries. This was a secret she didn't want anyone to know.
"What could possibly happen in the treasure trove? As long as he's careful, the refined corpses won't be a threat to him. As for the immortal formation, it's even more impossible to trap him. He's more than capable of dealing with small immortal formations. As for large ones, even if they exist, he wouldn't take the risk. So why hasn't he come yet? "
Cao Yi frowned. She knew very well whether Yang Qingqiu was dead or not, but if he wasn't, it was very strange that he hadn't come to meet her yet.
"Damn it, looks like I'll have to exhaust myself again."
Cao Yi said hatefully and took out a blood-stained handkerchief. This handkerchief was stained with Yang Qingqiu's blood.
Cao Yi then threw the handkerchief to the doll. The doll opened its mouth and spat the handkerchief into its stomach. Once again, the doll let out a series of strange noises, then opened its mouth and spat out a bubble.
The transparent bubble hovered in the air, reflecting Yang Qingqiu's current situation.
"Bastard, he's actually trapped in the immortal formation space!"
Although she was scolding him, Cao Yi's gaze became heavier than ever.
"Among the treasures in the entire Heavenly Snail Grotto, there are a total of three dangers from the enemy. Gu Zheng's forces are one, the Sacred Blood Sect's forces are another, and the lone Gongsun Changsheng is another."
"Gu Zheng's forces have been trapped in the 'Still Space' for a long time. They must have become a part of the immortal formation by now.
"There were originally two people from Lu Qi's forces who entered the Heavenly Snail Grotto. Unfortunately, the kid from the Black Sky Snail Sect is already dead. Lu Qi, who doesn't know much about immortal formations, separated from me on the first floor of the treasure. Logically speaking, it's impossible for him to enter the second floor of the treasure."
"As for Gongsun Changsheng, this anomaly, he knows immortal formations, so he must have entered the first floor of the treasure. Although there is a group of refined corpses in the core of the first floor of the treasure, with this person's cultivation, it's entirely possible for him to enter the three-layered immortal formation! And the most difficult part of the three-layered immortal formation was stopped by me, so it's very likely that he's also entered the second floor of the treasure. "
"If only Gongsun Changsheng came to the second floor of the treasure, Yang Qingqiu shouldn't be restrained by him even if he's dead. I'm afraid that it's not only Gongsun Changsheng, but also that damned Lu Qi, and the two of them have teamed up! If that's the case, Yang Qingqiu might really be restrained by them! "
"They restrained Yang Qingqiu but didn't kill him. It's obvious that they don't want me to know, so I'll be vigilant. It looks like these two despicable guys will find me soon!"
"Hmph, so be it! Do you really think I'm afraid of you? "
Cao Yi analyzed the situation, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
However, the cold smile was eventually replaced by caution, and Cao Yi murmured again, "It's never wrong to be more prepared."
"Retch …"
The sound of vomiting was heard, and Cao Yi spat out a jade-green thing.
The jade-green thing instantly grew after falling to the ground, and became a strange green python that was as thick as a bowl and ten feet long.
"Little baby, go!"
Cao Yi stroked the strange python's head and kissed its mouth in disgust. The strange python immediately nodded its head and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Come on, I'll wait for you here."
Cao Yi sat down cross-legged, and quietly waited for the arrival of the imaginary enemy.
"Sir, guess what's behind the next door, will it be useful or useless?" Meow Meow looked up and asked.
"I guess it'll be useful."
There were four rooms in a row, and all of them were empty. Gu Zheng was also eager to find something useful to refresh himself.
In front of the pitch-black door, Gu Zheng infused immortal power into the door, and the light formation on the door immediately shone brightly.
A moment later, the stone door slowly opened, and Gu Zheng saw through the gap that there were four ice sculptures in the room that were in the process of defrosting.
"Awoo!"
Four fish-headed, human-bodied creatures with razor-sharp fangs immediately lunged at Gu Zheng and Meow Meow.
"Don't move!"
Meow Meow was just about to attack when Gu Zheng stopped it.
Gu Zheng waved his hand, and the spirit beast food he'd made earlier immediately flew into the mouths of the fish-headed monsters.
After swallowing the spirit beast food, the fish-headed monsters all stopped in their tracks, and their gills flapped rapidly, showing signs of continuing to pounce.
Gu Zheng understood that it wasn't that the spirit beast food was ineffective, but that the amount used was too little.
With another wave of his hand, Gu Zheng threw a large chunk of meat at the fish-headed monsters.
The fish-headed monsters, who had their mouths closed and saliva flowing out of the corners of their mouths, immediately began to madly snatch the meat that fell on the ground. They even fought with each other for a little more, completely forgetting why they were guarding this place.
"Sir, why don't we just kill them?"
Meow Meow was a little puzzled. Although the fish-headed monsters' strength was not bad, there didn't seem to be any use for them in a place like this.
"We need to find six Corpse Ji, and after finding them, we can't kill them. We can only use the method that Jasmine told us to immobilize them. The surface of the Corpse Ji's body is either poisonous or disgusting paste, and at the same time, it's also a carrier of evil energy. Although we have a way to bring such things to the core of the treasure trove, it'll inevitably be a troublesome matter. The fish-headed monsters are also carriers of evil energy, and they themselves are poisonous. Moreover, Jasmine also said that in the method of refining the Demonic Corpse, she used a lot of fish-headed monsters' venom and blood, so they are the most suitable to take on the big responsibility! "Gu Zheng smiled.
"Sir, do you mean to let the fish-headed monsters follow us and act as porters?" Meow Meow's eyes lit up.
Gu Zheng nodded and said: "Exactly!"
"No wonder Sir made some spirit beast food for me to eat before. It turns out that you've been planning for this for a long time."
Meow Meow's voice paused, then she smiled and said: "It seems that Sir guessed right, the things in this room are really useful."
"It's just a wild guess! Do you think there's anything useful in the next room? "
Gu Zheng walked towards the next unopened room. There were a total of three unopened rooms, now that one was open, there were still two more.
"If it's just a wild guess, I'm sure it's useful!" Meow Meow covered her mouth and laughed.
"Thank you for your auspicious words!"
Gu Zheng smiled slightly, standing in front of the door, he raised his hand and poured his immortal energy into it.
The door opened quickly, and through the gap, Gu Zheng saw a golden light.
There was no danger in the room, only a medium-sized golden chest.
Seeing that there was only a golden chest in the room, and that there was no danger, Meow Meow cheered: "I guessed right, Sir, do you have a reward?"
"What reward do you want?"
As Gu Zheng spoke, he opened the golden chest, and there was a flash of light. It was another chest full of gold, silver, and jewels.
Meow Meow stuck out her tongue and licked her lips: "I want to wait until after the Heavenly Snail Cave trip is over, Sir, to make me a delicious dish I've never eaten before!"
"Is it because you're not full from the delicious dish I made for you before?"
Gu Zheng couldn't help but laugh. Although the delicious dish he made for Meow Meow was simple, it was still a small pot full of stewed meat! If it was here with Gu Zheng, let alone full, it would definitely be stuffed.
"Sir, can I say that I'm only half full?" Meow Meow said pitifully.
"Alright!"
Gu Zheng put his hand to his forehead: "All this time, the things I make for you are more than my own standards. If you don't say it, I'll always think you're full! When the Heavenly Snail Cave trip is over, I'll make sure you have a good meal! "
"Thank you, Sir!"
Meow Meow's eyes twinkled. If not for the fear of being scolded by the artifact spirit, she would have hugged Gu Zheng's arm and rubbed herself against it.
"Not only that, I want to make jewelry for you, now I want to fulfill my promise!"
Gu Zheng said seriously. Meow Meow had really put in a lot of effort on this trip to the Heavenly Snail Cave.
"Sir, are you really going to fulfill your promise now? But, but we still have to hurry and explore the room! "
More stars twinkled in Meow Meow's eyes. She wanted to get Gu Zheng's jewelry as soon as possible, but she didn't want to waste Gu Zheng's time.
"No buts, you deserve it!"
The artifact spirit actually said such a thing. Gu Zheng couldn't help but look inwardly and wanted to praise her.
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and Gu Zheng couldn't say them. He saw the artifact spirit in the garden squatting on the ground, holding a small branch and picking up pieces of fallen leaves.
The garden was beautiful, but it was only so big. The artifact spirit was beautiful, but her figure seemed lonely at this moment.
"Artifact spirit, do you want this set of jewelry?"
Although he knew that the artifact spirit wouldn't be able to wear it even if he made it, Gu Zheng didn't know why he would say such a thing.
He thought that the artifact spirit would laugh at him, or even look at him with disdain, but who would have thought that the artifact spirit would suddenly raise her head and laugh loudly: "You actually want to make jewelry for me, why wouldn't I want it?"
The artifact spirit laughed heartlessly, but Gu Zheng felt that something was wrong. The corners of her eyes seemed to be a little wet.
"Wait, I'll make it for you now."
Gu Zheng sighed inwardly and ended his short inner vision.
Gu Zheng had obtained a lot of precious metals and jewels suitable for making jewelry in the Heavenly Snail Grotto's treasure trove. After picking out suitable materials, he calcined them with his natal true fire.
After the metals were melted in the air, Gu Zheng gave full play to his imagination. Necklaces, earrings, rings, hairpins, head ornaments, and other jewelry were quickly formed and cooled down.
Picking out some suitable jewels, Gu Zheng further processed them and then inlaid them on the jewelry.
In just half an hour, two sets of jewelry with different designs were completed.
He couldn't see how the artifact spirit looked wearing the jewelry, but at least after Meow Meow put it on, there was a different kind of charm.
Two of the three unopened rooms had already been opened. In front of the door of the last room, Gu Zheng asked Meow Meow, who was playing with a hairpin.
"What do you think will be in this room?"
"I hope there will be a golden chest or a corpse girl," Meow Meow said.
"I also hope that will be the case."
Gu Zheng smiled. The immortal formation on the door was broken, and then a golden light shone through the gap.
There was indeed a golden chest in the room, and it was an extremely large one. It was three feet long and two feet tall.
"Wow, this is awesome! This is an unprecedented golden chest!" Meow Meow cheered.
"It is indeed an unprecedented golden chest. I hope it doesn't contain jewels!"
Gu Zheng said excitedly and immediately began to break the formation. This golden chest was also protected by an immortal formation.
"The last golden chest contained resources. This one definitely won't contain jewels," Meow Meow said with a smile.
"No matter what's inside, we have to be careful. With such a large golden chest, I'm afraid what's waiting for us in the immortal formation won't be easy to get along with," Gu Zheng said seriously.
The light in front of them alternated between bright and dark. After breaking the formation, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow immediately appeared in the immortal formation space.
All kinds of attacks came at them. Even Gu Zheng and Meow Meow, who were used to this kind of scene, couldn't help but be wounded when they broke out of the encirclement.
The number of corpse girls in this immortal formation space exceeded any of the previous ones. If it weren't for Gu Zheng and Meow Meow's fast speed and dodging as soon as they appeared, they would've suffered even more.
"There are exactly six of them. Quickly get rid of them!"
While Gu Zheng transmitted to Meow Meow, he dodged left and right with the Misty Illusion Art. Immortal energy shot out from his fingers like acupuncture, attacking different parts of a corpse girl's body in an orderly manner.
"Thump!"
Gu Zheng hit eighteen spots in a row, and the originally valiant corpse girls fell straight to the ground.
"Thump!"
The sound of a corpse girl falling to the ground rang out again. Meow Meow followed Jasmine's method and took down a corpse girl.
There were only four corpse girls left, and the pressure on Gu Zheng and Meow Meow immediately lessened. Under this situation, the four corpse girls were quickly taken down.
After taking down all the corpse girls, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow still didn't stop. They attacked the void in an orderly manner.
The corpse girls existed in the immortal formation space. Under normal circumstances, if they were taken down, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow would appear in the real world. However, Gu Zheng wanted to use the six corpse girls here. If he wanted to take them out of the immortal formation space, the only way was to completely break the immortal formation space.
"Not bad. Using this method to deal with the corpse girls is faster than killing one of them before," Meow Meow said.
"Of course, the method Jasmine gave us is specifically for dealing with corpse girls," Gu Zheng said with a smile.
Although they were breaking the formation, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow didn't need to be too serious. Breaking this kind of immortal formation space wasn't that difficult.
About five minutes later, a white light flashed through the space and a crack appeared in the void. Endless darkness instantly entered their eyes and instantly turned into light.
The immortal formation space had been broken, and there were six motionless corpse girls in the original room.
Instead of dealing with the large golden chest and corpse girls on the ground, Gu Zheng took out the Dragon Blood Crystal and sucked out the evil energy from the wound on his body. Then, he helped Meow Meow heal her injuries before coming to the side of the large golden chest.
"What a large golden chest. I hope it will be a big gift!"
Gu Zheng broke the restriction on the golden chest and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The boxes were filled with resources. Among the ingredients, there were as many as six Excellent ingredients, more than forty Medium ingredients, and the rest were all Common ingredients.
"Awesome!"
Seeing those excellent ingredients, Meow Meow couldn't help but cry out in joy. Although she didn't know the grades of ingredients as well as Gu Zheng, that didn't stop her from seeing how extraordinary those six ingredients were.
After putting the golden chest into the chaos space, Gu Zheng left with Meow Meow.
"Mister, aren't they following us?"
Meow Meow turned her head and looked at the demons and corpse girls in the room.
"They aren't following us. We don't know what will happen on the way, so let them play dead here. When I need them, I only need a thought and I can have those few demonic creatures bring the Corpse Ji over. "Gu Zheng said indifferently.
On the way, there were still rooms that hadn't been opened, but there weren't many of them. There were dangers, but there were also rewards.
There were more formation runes than any other place. Gu Zheng finally brought Meow Meow to the passage leading to the second floor of the treasure trove.
The second floor of the treasure trove was a large circular space. That was Gu Zheng and Meow Meow's destination. There was an immortal formation that could summon Boundless Sea back from the chaos.
Although the passage was long and Gu Zheng and Meow Meow's footsteps were light, in a quiet environment, their footsteps could still be heard relatively far away.
Not long after entering the passage, Gu Zheng and Meow Meow stopped. Someone was standing at the end of the passage.
The person standing at the end of the passage was a woman. She was Cao Yi, whom Gu Zheng hadn't met since entering the Heavenly Snail Grotto.
Before subduing the fat demonic cultivator, Yang Qingqiu, Gu Zheng only knew that this Cao Yi wasn't the same Cao Yi. After subduing Yang Qingqiu, Gu Zheng also knew Cao Yi's true identity. He wasn't unfamiliar with this person!
