The ancient giant worm that appeared in the immortal array space was confused at first, but then it became unusually angry. The compound eyes on its head kept shooting out rays of light, and its body was like an earthworm jumping around in the immortal array space.
The immortal array space shook as the ancient giant worm tossed and turned. After all, it was very powerful. Even if it could not break through the array like a human, it could still break through the array with brute force.
Unlike the time when he was dealing with the red-haired old man, where the Green Bird Array Spirit attacked first, Gu Zheng did not plan to use the Green Bird Array Spirit this time. After all, the damage it could cause was no different from scratching an itch on the ancient giant worm's body.
After letting the ancient giant worm toss and turn for a while, the huge Dragon Centipede Array Spirit appeared.
The Dragon Centipede Array Spirit's poison had some effect on the ancient giant worm. However, the ancient giant worm's skin was a very good material for refining weapons. Its value was not inferior to that of high-grade ingredients. Therefore, Gu Zheng did not want it to be damaged too much. Therefore, once the Dragon Centipede Array Spirit appeared, it immediately swayed its body and smashed the ancient giant worm.
Dull sounds kept ringing in the immortal array space as the two huge creatures fought. However, the ancient giant worm was the only one who was being beaten. After all, the Dragon Centipede was only an array spirit. It was a kind of existence that could use its illusory body to launch physical attacks. All of the ancient giant worm's attacks were ignored by the Dragon Centipede Array Spirit.
The huge ancient giant worm was being beaten back and forth in the immortal array space. It was not in its best condition to begin with. Mucus kept flowing out of its mouth, as if it was a person who had been beaten down and was vomiting blood.
After a period of torment, the ancient giant worm was finally enraged. It finally unleashed its ultimate killer move.
The wrinkled skin on both sides of the ancient giant worm's huge body suddenly shrunk, revealing more than a thousand pairs of compound eyes!
In an instant, all the compound eyes turned. Yellow rays of light almost indiscriminately covered every corner of the immortal array space.
The immortal array space, which was already unable to bear the burden, completely collapsed because of the appearance of more than a thousand rays of light.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the immortal formation space exploded. The twelve array flags that Gu Zheng had hidden in the ground to set up the immortal trapping array flew out and exploded in the air.
At this point, Gu Zheng's Immortal Trapping Formation was destroyed in the process of hunting the ancient giant worm.
"Damn it!"
Gu Zheng gritted his teeth in hatred. Even though he knew from the red-haired old man's memories that the ancient giant worm's final killing move was very powerful, he did not expect it to be this powerful. The formation artifacts were not as he had guessed before, where they would be severely damaged. Instead, they were completely destroyed.
"Attack!"
Gu Zheng called out to Huang Qi and the rest. Since the ancient worm had already used its final killing move, what awaited it was death.
The huge earth dragon appeared again. As the ancient giant worm was sent flying, a sharp ray of light from the blade pierced the eye on the ancient giant worm's head. That was its vital point.
After using its final killing move, the ancient giant worm was now half-dead. Even though the compound eye on its forehead still shot out rays of light, it could no longer shoot out more than ten rays of light at the same time like before. Similarly, it could no longer rely on the rays of light to neutralize Gu Zheng's blade light. Even so, Gu Zheng's sharp blade light was still unable to pierce through the seemingly fragile compound eye.
However, Gu Zheng was not alone. He had three other teammates. Although these three teammates were a little weak, ants could not only bite an elephant to death, but they could also divert some of the ancient giant worm's attention.
The violent energy of heaven and earth surged back and forth. All sorts of immortal skills and immortal weapons flew around.
Due to its mute poison, the ancient giant worm could not make any sound despite its heavy injuries. Only the viscous liquid continued to flow out of its mouth. Its huge body also continued to shrink.
Finally, when Gu Zheng's blade light pierced through the last compound eye on the ancient giant worm's head, the ancient giant worm, which was originally standing upright, fell to the ground like a mountain, never to move again.
Everyone tried a few more attacks. Seeing that the ancient giant worm was really motionless, Yang Jue could not help but let out a cheer.
"We're rich, we're really rich!"
Looking at the ancient giant worm on the ground, Yang Jue was so excited that his voice trembled.
"Yes, we're rich, we're finally rich!"
Huang Qi was also very excited. He flew around in the air like a child.
For Yang Jue and Huang Qi, who had always been tight on money, this time they really hit the jackpot. Even for Fang Xing and Gu Zheng, this was the case.
The ancient giant worm was too big. The most useful part of its body was its skin. A palm-sized piece of ancient giant worm skin could be considered a top-grade resource equivalent to a high-grade ingredient. According to a rough estimate of one blue immortal coin per top-grade resource, this ancient giant worm had brought the group at least a hundred thousand blue immortal coins in profit!
Just the ancient giant worm alone brought them tens of thousands of blue immortal coins. With this income, people like Huang Qi and Yang Jue didn't have to worry about the resources they needed for cultivation in the future. The harvest this time was enough for them once and for all.
"Don't be so excited, let's skin it!"
Although Fang Xing looked a little calmer, his eyes were still filled with joy.
The group spent quite a bit of time skinning the ancient giant worm and dividing the skin into four portions.
Fang Xing had it easy since he had several storage belts in his storage belt. Yang Jue and Huang Qi's belts were already full. Adding on the few they'd gotten from killing people along the way, they were barely able to store the worm skin and the resources they'd obtained.
"I'm so envious of you, Fellow Daoist Bai. You have a legendary super spatial treasure. Who would've thought we'd earn so much from this treasure hunt?" Yang Jue sighed with emotion as he stroked his storage belt.
"Are you satisfied with this? Don't forget why we're here! "
Fang Xing laughed and swung his sword at the worm's corpse. Finally, he took out a six feet long and three feet tall golden box from the ancient worm's stomach.
There was an immortal formation on the box, one that wasn't easy to crack. Even Gu Zheng had to expend some effort to open it.
Looking at the contents of the box, Yang Jue and Huang Qi looked somewhat regretful.
Yang Jue's eyes lit up when he saw the high level immortal items in the box. But compared to the loot of the ancient worm skin, the high level immortal items and the resources inside the box weren't worth much.
But to Gu Zheng, a harvest was a joy. Not to mention, there were quite a few ingredients in the box. There were twenty high-grade ingredients and even one immortal grade ingredient! Compared to what they'd gotten in the treasure hunt, the contents of this box were already very good.
As for the distribution of the contents, all the ingredients went to Gu Zheng. As for the immortal items and other resources, they went to Huang Qi and the others.
Gu Zheng and the others didn't stay in this plane for long. After entering the wormhole, they found a teleportation immortal formation at the bottom and returned to the second floor of the treasure hunt.
As soon as Gu Zheng and the others appeared in the second floor of the treasure hunt, they all frowned.
When they entered the second floor of the treasure hunt, there were several human corpses and refined corpses at the entrance of the cave. Now, these human corpses and refined corpses were still there, but they were all unrecognizable, as if they had been gnawed by something. Even the most knowledgeable cultivators could not help but feel their stomachs twitch when they saw these corpses covered in stinking mucus.
"Even refined corpses are eaten. I really don't know what other disgusting things exist in this treasure hunt!"
Yang Jue turned his head away from the severed limbs on the ground. He looked at Gu Zheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, we've earned a lot in this other plane. We don't know what we'll encounter if we keep going. Why don't we quit while we're ahead?"
Gu Zheng was a bit surprised that Yang Jue would have such a thought. After all, he'd always been the most interested in the treasure hunt.
But after thinking about it, Gu Zheng understood Yang Jue. After all, Yang Jue was only an ordinary Jin Xian mid stage cultivator. This kind of cultivation wasn't much in this treasure hunt. Moreover, he'd earned a lot. Quitting while he was ahead wasn't necessarily worse than going forward.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, are you thinking the same?"
Gu Zheng looked at Huang Qi. He knew that Yang Jue must've talked to Huang Qi beforehand.
"I see Fellow Daoist Bai's intentions. If Fellow Daoist Bai wants to continue, I'll follow you." Huang Qi said.
"Fellow Daoists, that's not necessary right? How many dangers have we experienced? There's still a lot of good stuff waiting for us ahead! If you quit now, you'll regret it for the rest of your life. A chance like a quasi-sage treasure hunt is really hard to come by! "Fang Xing said anxiously.
"I still want to continue, but if Fellow Daoists think you've earned enough and want to leave, I can send you out." Gu Zheng smiled.
"I'm already embarrassed to have thoughts of quitting halfway, how can I trouble Fellow Daoist Bai to send us out?"
Yang Jue clenched his teeth. "Since Fellow Daoist Gu wants to continue, we'll go together!"
Gu Zheng shook his head. Since Yang Jue wanted to leave, he naturally wouldn't force him. "It's up to Fellow Daoist if you want to stay or leave!"
Yang Jue smiled and turned to Fang Xing. "Fellow Daoist Fang, we're already on the second floor. What do you think about sharing the map?"
"What else is there to say? Of course we'll share it! Now, we can be considered to have gone through thick and thin together. Although I met you guys late, I didn't have any selfish intentions along the way. I hope that after you guys get the map, you won't burn the bridge after crossing the river! "
Fang Xing took out a jade slip and placed it on his forehead. He recorded the treasure's information and handed it to Gu Zheng.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't do anything to let us down, we won't do anything to let you down!"
Gu Zheng looked at the treasure's map and passed the jade slip to Huang Qi and Yang Jue.
"Now that the three of you have the treasure's map and we've wasted a lot of time in the other plane, let's make the best use of our time! After all, we still have two places to go on the second floor of the treasure. "Fang Xing said.
Everyone went on their way again, rushing towards the second place of the second level's treasure vault. Along the way, Gu Zheng and the others encountered some refined corpses that they had never seen before. Almost all of these refined corpses had the strength of a Gold Immortal, which could be considered as relatively strong.
However, with Gu Zheng in the group, these refined corpses weren't worth mentioning. Moreover, Huang Qi and the others had just obtained a new high-grade immortal tool, increasing their strength.
They didn't meet any living people along the way, but they did see a dozen or so corpses. It seemed that during the day they stayed in the other plane, quite a few people had entered the Quasi-Sage's treasure.
What they saw along the way made Gu Zheng and the others feel that the second place they had to go to was very likely empty. After all, it was not like a hidden treasure. It was just in a cave, and such an existence was naturally easy to find.
Sure enough, the second place Gu Zheng and the others wanted to go to was empty. Only a mess was left.
"Damn it, there are traces of Buddhism here. It seems that the Sangharama Temple monks took the treasure." Yang Jue said hatefully.
"Since the treasure here is gone, let's hurry to the second floor's hidden treasure!" Gu Zheng said.
At the same time.
Three men and a woman stood outside the second floor's hidden treasure.
The three men and one woman had formed a temporary alliance in the treasure trove. Their cultivation bases were all in the Golden Immortal realm. Although they had discovered the hidden treasure trove, there was nothing they could do about the seal of the hidden treasure trove.
"How is it?"
One of the two men guarding the door turned back to look at the person breaking the seal.
The person in charge of breaking the seal was a grey-robed old man. He was also the one with the highest cultivation among the four. At this moment, his forehead was already covered in sweat. Firstly, he didn't have the time or the mood to answer his companions' questions. This seal was too difficult for him.
"How is it? How much longer do we need? The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it will be! "
The other man couldn't help but ask.
"Bang!"
A soft sound came from the seal and the flickering light dimmed. This wasn't a sign that the seal had been broken, but that all their previous efforts had been for naught.
"Can you two shut up? If you keep nagging and distracting this Old Man, this Old Man will teach you a lesson! "
The two guards at the door couldn't help but shudder when they saw the old man turn around and gnash his teeth. They hurriedly smiled and said, "We're just anxious. After all, it's already been an incense stick's worth of time!"
"If you're anxious, why don't we do something more practical and set up a few more immortal formations outside!"
The only woman among the four spoke. She had a pretty face and her voice was crisp and pleasant. She looked to be in her forties.
"There are already a few immortal formations and restrictions outside. There's no need to set up anything else."
"Why don't you come with me and set up a few more restrictions?"
The two men's dissatisfaction was written all over their faces. Neither of them wanted to leave. What if the old man in grey broke the seal while they were setting up? It was normal for a temporary alliance to have this kind of distrust.
"If you don't go out and set up, then shut up for this Old Man. If anyone says another word of nonsense, don't blame this Old Man for being rude!"
The old man in grey coldly glanced at the three of them. Seeing that they were all smiling apologetically, he snorted and continued to break the restrictions.
"Gu gu …"
A strange sound came from the darkness ahead. Gu Zheng and the others couldn't help but frown.
"It's those disgusting guys again!" Fang Xing spat out.
The things that made everyone frown were indeed disgusting. They were also a kind of refined corpse. All the incomplete corpses along the way were all eaten by them. They looked like skinned people. There were many bone spurs on their bodies. Their bodies flowed with a poisonous sticky liquid. Their faces were like rotting corpses. It was really disgusting.
"Since it's these disgusting things again, let me deal with them!" Huang Qi said.
Huang Qi was more proficient in dealing with these disgusting monsters. This was all thanks to the high-grade immortal weapon he received from the treasure chest.
The high-grade immortal item that Huang Qi was given looked like an ancient bronze mirror. The power of this mirror was not particularly great, but it had a miraculous effect on these refined corpses that gnawed on corpses. Although these refined corpses had the cultivation base of early-stage Golden Immortal, the ancient bronze mirror was just like that.
Soon, eight refined corpses appeared in front of Gu Zheng and the others. The refined corpses that were originally crawling on the ground and eating corpses also sensed the presence of Gu Zheng and the others. Like monkeys, they either ran toward Gu Zheng and the others or jumped up to the top of the cave and rushed toward Gu Zheng and the others from above.
As the refined corpses approached, the poisonous gas they emitted reached them first. Gu Zheng and the others had long since held their breaths, and a protective barrier of immortal power rose around them. However, the domineering aura still caused the immortal power barrier to emit crackling sounds like lightning.
Moreover, as the refined corpses approached, the power of heaven and earth in the surroundings automatically formed a pressure that suppressed Gu Zheng and the others. With this level of pressure, even an early stage Jin Xian's immortal cultivator would be suppressed to the point of being unable to move in an instant.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Under the control of the refined corpses, the stones on the ground flew toward Gu Zheng and the others like meteors. Gu Zheng and the others used their techniques to cause the flying stones to explode into dust in the air.
Huang Qi held the ancient mirror in her hand and aimed the rusty mirror at the first refined corpse when it appeared in her attack range.
Although the surface of the mirror was rusty, a white light shot out from it and quickly hit the first refined corpse on the top of the cave.
"Hiss hiss!"
The refined corpse on the top of the cave screamed in agony as it was engulfed in white flames and fell to the ground.
A second white light shot out from the ancient bronze mirror and the second refined corpse also burst into flames.
Before the eight refined corpses could get too close, they were all destroyed by the light from Huang Qi's ancient bronze mirror and turned into black charcoal.
"Restriction?"
Fang Xing frowned as he came to the place where the refined corpses were chewing.
"The existence of a restriction is a good thing. Perhaps someone wanted to enter the hidden ruins and set up a restriction to stop anyone who came later."
Gu Zheng's analysis didn't have too strong of a reason, but the truth was exactly what he said.
