"Eh? This beast hasn't gained sentience, and its intelligence is even lower than the immortal rabbits in the outside world! "
Yang Jue examined the rabbit spirit's body and came to this conclusion.
"What a strange thing."
When Gu Zheng's questioning failed, he also examined the rabbit spirit's body. The result was that it had yet to gain sentience, which meant that its various reactions could only be considered instinctive.
Although he didn't get any direct clues from the rabbit spirit, Gu Zheng made other discoveries. He shook the rabbit spirit a few times, and something that looked like a kangaroo pouch appeared on the rabbit spirit's belly.
As Gu Zheng shook the rabbit spirit, a pile of things fell out of the rabbit spirit's pouch.
"This little beast is incredible!"
Looking at the cone-shaped pile of resources in front of them, there must be at least a hundred kilograms in total. Everyone's eyes widened.
A small pouch could actually hold so many things. What did this mean? This meant that this little beast, which had yet to gain sentience, had an instinctive understanding of the Dao of Space. Or perhaps this was its innate ability? In any case, this was a strange little beast.
The hundred kilograms of resources were all root-type ingredients, such as the Earth Profound Root, the White Jade Taisui, and the Thousand Year Monkey. What was even more strange was that although these things were in the rabbit spirit's pouch, they were all alive!
Moreover, in this pile of resources, there was a simple and unadorned carved golden box. Inside it was a jade slip that recorded the location of the second floor's hidden treasure.
"I suggest that these ingredients, including this rabbit, all belong to Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Among everyone, Gu Zheng naturally had the best relationship with Huang Qi. At this time, Huang Qi also made a suggestion that made Gu Zheng happy.
"This …"
Fang Xing wanted to say something but stopped. This strange little beast might have its own unique uses, and a hundred kilograms of high-grade ingredients wasn't a small amount. Although it was said that as long as they found clues, they would be rewarded handsomely, this reward was a little too generous.
Yang Jue glared at Fang Xing and said, "What is this? Without Fellow Daoist Bai, we wouldn't have any clues to the second floor's hidden treasure. I don't think this reward is much! Moreover, don't you think that Fellow Daoist Bai is very benevolent? Just now, when he was dividing those 'fives', he gave the extra 'one' to us! Although he wants the turf and the Exquisite Immortal Fruit Tree, even if he doesn't want them, we'll still throw them away. "
"Of course Fellow Daoist Bai is very benevolent. I just thought that this amount of resources couldn't be considered generous, right? After all, Fellow Daoist Bai is the most powerful among us. We have a lot of things to rely on him to survive in this dangerous treasure trove! "
Fang Xing's expression did not change as he changed his original meaning. At the same time, he scolded himself for being stupid in his heart. Why did he almost speak his true thoughts for such a small benefit?
"That's right. If there's anything else, we can share more with Fellow Daoist Bai." Huang Qi smiled in a noncommittal manner.
"Alright, now that we have a clue about the hidden treasure on the second floor, let's head to the second floor immediately!"
Gu Zheng didn't want to say anything more. With a faint smile, he put the rabbit spirit into his Chaos Space and gave it a piece of land to live in. When he had time in the future, he would study this strange fellow.
After exiting the immortal formation, Gu Zheng and the others went straight to the second floor. Along the way, they saw many open doors, as well as corpses and traces of battle.
The path to the second floor of the treasure trove was a long flight of stairs, stained with the blood of battle. Moreover, there were restrictions and immortal formations left behind by those who had reached the second floor before them.
Although they were delayed by the restrictions and immortal formations, Gu Zheng and the others didn't complain. After all, they had done the same before.
Although they entered the second floor of the treasure trove through a long flight of stairs, it was still a teleportation immortal formation. When Gu Zheng and the others' vision changed, they found that the environment before them was completely different from the first floor. This place looked like an underground cave. As far as their vision could reach, there were only uneven walls and uneven ground. The air was filled with a cold, rotten smell.
"This Quasi-Sage is a demonic cultivator. This environment seems to be befitting of his status!"
Huang Qi laughed, as if trying to relieve the pressure in everyone's hearts. After all, in addition to the rotten smell in the air, there was also the fresh smell of blood.
"Let's go. Be careful!" Fang Xing led the way.
After walking for about a hundred meters, the first stone cave appeared on the wall. However, it was empty. The treasure inside had already been taken away.
"There are more people entering the treasure trove than expected. I think we should speed up and head straight for those three places!"
The three places Yang Jue mentioned, one was the hidden treasure trove on the second floor of the treasure trove, and the other two were the caves that Fang Xing told everyone were more difficult, but the rewards were more generous.
Yang Jue shook his head and said, "Don't worry, fellow cultivator Yang. It's better to be safe. The second floor is different from the first. There are immortal formations and restrictions on the way here. It's impossible to rush all the way."
Although they weren't rushing all the way, they weren't slow either. However, as Fang Xing said, there were restrictions and immortal formations on the way. After walking for about a hundred meters, they had already encountered an immortal formation.
However, their group was considered very strong. Fang Xing's method of breaking through formations was strong, and Gu Zheng was naturally not weak either. Therefore, ordinary immortal formations couldn't stop them at all.
The stone cave was winding and had many forks. As time passed, Gu Zheng and the others walked for a while in the second floor of the treasure trove. Along the way, Gu Zheng and the others saw three more empty stone caves, and two more immortal formations and restrictions that already existed in the treasure trove.
"Fellow cultivator Fang, which of the three places you mentioned is the closest? How far is the closest one? "Yang Jue couldn't help but ask.
Although Yang Jue, Huang Qi, and Gu Zheng all knew that there were three must-go places on the second floor of the treasure trove, they didn't know the details of these places. Even if they knew the location of the treasure trove, it was only a general location. They didn't have a complete map of the second floor. They only knew a small area of the treasure trove, which wasn't very useful. As for the treasure trove map, Fang Xing didn't tell them at first. As for how to get there, he was the one leading the way.
Among Yang Jue, Huang Qi, and Gu Zheng, Yang Jue was the most eager for the treasure trove. He was also the most impatient. His true motive for saying all this was to get Fang Xing to share the map! After all, they had all been through some things together. He felt that as long as Fang Xing didn't have any ulterior motives, he, Huang Qi, and Gu Zheng wouldn't do anything to betray the group even if they got the treasure trove map.
"The treasure trove is already close to the entrance of the third floor. We're only halfway to the other two must-go places."
Fang Xing naturally knew Yang Jue's true intentions. He smiled naturally, and dodged it naturally.
"There's someone up ahead!"
Just as Yang Jue was about to say something, Gu Zheng suddenly spoke. Almost as soon as Gu Zheng finished speaking, Yang Jue and the others felt someone approaching them.
"From the sound of it, this person seems to be running for his life!"
Fang Xing frowned. The approaching person seemed to be in a hurry.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Faced with a potentially dangerous situation, Gu Zheng naturally took the lead.
After walking forward for a while, Gu Zheng and company saw a monk who was covered in blood and on his last breath.
"This isn't a monk from Sangharama Temple."
Yang Jue had performed a soul-search on the monks of Sangharama Temple. He knew that there wasn't such a monk among the group.
"I'm a monk from Subduing Dragon Temple. Benefactors, there's a monster ahead …"
Before the monk could finish, his neck tilted to the side and stopped moving.
"Awooo …"
As if to confirm the monk's words, an inhuman roar came from ahead. The monk's soul was also attracted by the roar and flew in the direction of the roar.
"A soul that attracts people? What the hell is that? "Huang Qi frowned.
"No matter what it is, it's on our path!"
Fang Xing signaled to the group, and they immediately moved forward.
Crunch, crunch …
As Gu Zheng and the others approached, a strange sound came from ahead.
A dozen wolf-headed monsters with human bodies were crawling on the ground, gnawing on several corpses.
These wolf-headed monsters were about the size of an adult, and a disgusting black liquid flowed from their bodies. Among these monsters, there was one that was particularly large. When standing, it was at least ten feet tall, and its waist was as round as a half-tower.
The giant wolf monster didn't eat the corpses on the ground. Its green eyes stared in the direction Gu Zheng and the others had come from, a look of disdain in them.
The giant wolf monster had already seen Gu Zheng and the others, and so had Gu Zheng and the others.
"The product of corpse refinement!"
Gu Zheng sneered at the disgusting liquid flowing from the wolf monster's body.
"Huff …"
The wolf monster opened its mouth and inhaled. The soul of the Subduing Dragon Temple monk immediately flew toward it.
"How arrogant!"
Fang Xing shouted. He rolled up his sleeves and created a strong wind, wanting to stop the soul of the Subduing Dragon Temple monk.
However, something that Fang Xing did not expect happened. When the wind generated by the wave of his sleeve came into contact with the wolf monster's inhalation, the wolf monster's originally quiet inhalation instantly became as violent as a hurricane.
All the rocks in the cave flew toward the wolf monster, and Fang Xing was no exception. His whole body couldn't help but slide forward.
"You're courting death!"
Fang Xing was both embarrassed and angry. Among the people present, he was the only one affected by the wolf monster's suction. The others were all standing in their original positions.
Just as Fang Xing was about to use his method to cut off the wolf monster's suction, the wolf monster's green eyes flashed, and Fang Xing felt that he couldn't use any method.
"Bai, Fellow Bai, save me!"
Fear appeared in Fang Xing's eyes. Facing the wolf monster's strange suction, he felt as if his soul was about to be sucked out.
"Evil creature!"
Gu Zheng's voice was like a great bell. Fang Xing's body jolted awake. He realized that it was only an illusion that he was being dragged away. His body was still in the posture of preparing to wave his sleeves! As for the soul of the Subduing Dragon Temple monk, it was already being chewed in the wolf monster's mouth.
"Good!"
Huang Qi and Yang Jue cheered in unison. At the same time, they wiped the sweat off their faces.
Although the person who fell into the illusion was Fang Xing, when they tried to stop it, they also fell into the illusion. If Gu Zheng hadn't pushed them away, the two of them would've been in the same situation as Fang Xing. The consequences would've been unimaginable. Now that they saw that Gu Zheng wasn't affected by the illusion and was even able to easily save them from it, it was indeed worth celebrating.
"Awoo!"
The wolf monster that was eating the corpse on the ground also stood up. They roared at Gu Zheng and the others, as if challenging them to a fight.
"Refined corpses that can make even Jin Xian fall into the illusion. You guys are really something!"
Fang Xing was furious. He took out an immortal weapon that looked like an ice sculpture. This immortal weapon was a fan. The white ribs of the fan were engraved with mysterious runes. The surface of the fan was also crystal clear. It vibrated gently on the ribs as if it was alive.
"I'll leave these wolf monsters to you guys. I'll be responsible for waking you guys up from the illusion!"
By the time Gu Zheng informed everyone of the battle plan, the Wolf Monsters had already launched their attack.
"Awoo …"
More than ten wolf monsters roared at the same time. A visible shockwave immediately pushed towards the group. Moreover, when the roars sounded, Fang Xing and the others felt their heads sink. They were attacked by the sound wave attack, and illusions began to appear in front of them.
"Attack!"
Gu Zheng's roar had the effect of a calming spell. Fang Xing and the others trembled, and the shockwave was already in front of them.
"Break!"
Fang Xing waved the high-grade immortal weapon in his hand, the Ice Crystal Fish Bone Fan. A hurricane formed in an instant to resist the shockwave. At the same time, the shadow of a giant ray fish appeared.
The ray fish flapped its fins, and a large amount of ice crystals and lightning appeared. It instantly destroyed the shockwave that was resisting the hurricane, and like an arrow, it shot into the pack of wolf monsters.
Apart from the largest monster wolf, the rest of the dozen or so normal monster wolves were all turned into ice sculptures surrounded by electric arcs under the impact of the rays. Although the largest wolf monster survived the ray fish's attack, Huang Qi and Yang Jue's attacks came one after another. Its body was instantly torn to pieces by the violent immortal skills.
"Well, they're so weak!"
They thought they were strong opponents, but they didn't expect the wolf monsters to be wiped out so quickly. This surprised Huang Qi and the others.
"Weak? Haha. "
Fang Xing laughed bitterly. If it weren't for Gu Zheng helping them out of the illusion, who would dare to say that these wolf monsters were weak? Perhaps they wouldn't even need to wait for people to see how weak they were. They would have already died in the illusion.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai!"
Fang Xing expressed his gratitude to Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng only smiled, and then walked forward.
There were five or six corpses on the ground. Although the wolf monsters ate their flesh and bones, their spatial immortal items were still there. The battlefield still had to be cleaned up.
After the wolf monster crisis, Gu Zheng and the others quickly arrived at the first place they had to go. During this time, Gu Zheng and the others also came across a few caves. However, without exception, the treasures in these caves were no longer there.
The first place they had to go to was also a cave, but it was bigger than all the caves Gu Zheng and the others had seen along the way. There were a few human corpses lying at the entrance, and a few refined corpses that looked like pigs but weren't pigs.
After entering the cave to investigate, Fang Xing gritted his teeth and said, "The original immortal formation has been broken. It seems that someone has already entered the first place."
"Let's go in quickly. Judging from the remnant energy in the space, perhaps the person who entered the treasure land hasn't left yet." Gu Zheng said as he led the way.
Every place they had to go to was extremely dangerous. Although someone had entered before Gu Zheng and the others, it wasn't without benefits. At least the trouble in the immortal formation had been dealt with. This saved Gu Zheng and the others a lot of trouble.
After a moment of light and darkness, Gu Zheng and the others appeared at the first place.
"It's so big!"
Huang Qi couldn't help but gasp. The scene in front of them was a continuous mountain range. Even with Jin Xian's eyesight, they couldn't see the end of it.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes and sensed. Then he said, "This quasi-sage's abhijna is really impressive. This isn't the immortal formation we imagined. This should be a place in a plane. Everything here is real!"
"Ah? You're saying that after our vision changed, we've already appeared in another plane? "Yang Jue's eyes widened.
"That's right!"
Gu Zheng's voice paused. Then he looked at Fang Xing. "Daoist Fang, this place is so big. You should know the exact location of the treasure right? And you should know how to get out, right? "
When he closed his eyes and sensed, Gu Zheng found that there was no way out behind them. There wasn't a teleportation immortal formation waiting for them to return after the treasure hunt.
"I know the location of the treasure. But we still need to find the boundary of this space. The jade scroll only mentioned that it's at the center of this space. The way back is also with the treasure."
Fang Xing's words relieved Gu Zheng and the others. If they stayed in a place like this and couldn't find the way back, they would be worried.
"There are four of us. Let's split our spiritual will to explore the boundary of this space!"
Gu Zheng said. He immediately split his spiritual will towards the east. Fang Xing split his spiritual will towards the south. Yang Jue split his spiritual will towards the north. Huang Qi split his spiritual will towards the west.
Their spiritual wills flew in different directions. After all, the higher they stood, the further they could see.
"Let's hope this is a dead space!"
Gu Zheng muttered to himself as his spiritual will searched.
The so-called dead space was a piece of land that a Pre-Sage had circled out in a foreign plane to hide the treasure! Although this piece of land was huge, there was a limit to it. On the other hand, it was a real plane. A real plane, even if it was a low-level plane like Earth, would take a certain amount of time to explore its boundary with spiritual will! Just the search alone wasted a lot of time, and the treasures in the places where the real treasures were to be found had probably already been taken away. It was really too late.
Moreover, the dead space had another advantage. It didn't have to deal with the troubles of a real plane like a real one! After all, the landscape and plants in front of them were very similar to the primitive times. The density of immortal core energy in the air was lower than that of primitive times, but still higher than that of Earth! This kind of plane would definitely have immortal cultivators. If it wasn't a dead space, they might encounter immortal cultivators from other planes during the treasure hunt and exploration, which would cause trouble.
