A bolt of lightning flashed across the ground, flying far away.
At a certain point.
The lightning scattered, revealing Gu Qing Shan's figure.
Using the inertia, he ran a few steps forward, stopped on top of a cliff, and looked forward.
"What a desolate place …"
The world was desolate.
Snowflakes were drifting down with the wind.
Below the cliff was a vast expanse of glaciers that extended all the way to the snow-covered mountains.
As Gu Qing Shan carefully looked around, his expression turned serious.
The glaciers weren't completely empty, quite the contrary, there were countless ruined palaces scattered all over.
Although these palaces were ruined and covered in snow, they still gave off an indescribable sense of ferocity.
— — -what exactly was the 5-Elemental War?
Gu Qing Shan kept thinking, tightened his bag, strapped on his bow and Blade, then climbed down along the edge of the cliff.
Although he'd lost his strength, he had been practicing the martial scripture that Lin taught him, so climbing down a cliff wasn't an issue.
About an hour later, his feet stepped on the snow.
The snow was getting heavier.
Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes as he looked forward, only to find that everything within 10 steps of him was completely covered in snow, his eyes couldn't see anything.
Various strange noises could be heard from the palaces far away.
Gu Qing Shan had never heard these noises before.
— — -they sounded like they came from unknown entities.
Suddenly, he sensed something and turned around.
"Ah …"
Other than letting out an incomprehensible sigh, Gu Qing Shan couldn't say anything else.
This was too shocking — — -
So the cliff wasn't actually a cliff, but a giant stone statue.
Because he was too close, Gu Qing Shan couldn't see what the statue actually looked like.
As he retreated as far away as he could from the statue, he was finally able to see the statue's true appearance.
— — -it was a stone giant with its eyes closed.
The giant didn't move at all, almost as if it was dead.
Gu Qing Shan silently sensed it for a few breaths.
That's right, almost as if it was dead.
— — no wonder I didn't sense any problems beforehand.
He looked at the other party and called out.
The stone giant did not react.
Gu Qing Shan pulled out her Long Saber and slashed deeply into the rock.
The giant still didn't wake up.
Gu Qing Shan increased her strength and chopped again.
Sparks flew from the stone, and a crisp slashing sound rang out.
There was no reaction.
Sleeping too soundly?
Or could it be that this guy was really dead?
He sheathed his blade and pressed his hand on the stone giant's body.
An inexplicable sense of intimacy was born.
It was as if the giant had a natural connection with him.
Gu Qing Shan stood in the snowstorm, silently observing the stone giant.
A large part of the stone giant's body was covered by snow. Only its silhouette could be seen, but not its full appearance.
Suddenly, Gu Qing Shan looked in a certain direction.
That was where he had struck with his saber.
A thin line was cut open on the surface of the rock, revealing a metallic luster.
Could it be …
Gu Qing Shan squatted down and used the long knife as a tool to scrape hard for a while.
More metal was exposed before his eyes.
— — this wasn't a stone giant, but a giant made of metal!
Gu Qing Shan was even more surprised and couldn't help but mutter:
"Who exactly are you?"
Only the howling wind and snow remained in this world.
If this was in the past, Gu Qing Shan only needed to form a hand seal to scatter the snow.
If that was the case, he would be able to study this giant and find some clues.
But now, he had lost all of his powers and could only look up at the stone giant, unable to even get rid of the snow on the giant's body.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and recalled the five monsters' description of this place.
— — they said that this place was a prison.
What's inside the prison?
And what does this giant have to do with a prison?
There's too little information, so I can't just blindly guess.
Gu Qing Shan turned to look at the snowstorm.
He had already seen it from the cliff before, there was a ruined palace in front of him.
Let's go take a look first.
He made up his mind and walked into the snowstorm, his figure quickly disappearing.
Not too long later.
Another large silhouette appeared in front of him.
— — -another stone giant.
Although a large portion of it was hidden under the snow, just the part that was exposed was enough to tell what it was.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
This stone giant seemed to have gone through an intense battle and was already damaged.
It was silently lying on the ground without moving.
"Hm? That seems to be — — "
Gu Qing Shan suddenly saw something and hurriedly walked forward to wipe away a part of the snow.
Only to see that this part of the giant's outer shell was engraved with a few words in common human language:
[Creation of the human realm]
It's a Creation!
It's made of steel!
A thought suddenly flashed through Gu Qing Shan's mind.
Could it be …
All of a sudden, he became excited.
"Does such a thing exist within the Samsara as well?"
Gu Qing Shan muttered to himself, walked around the giant, and finally found a part of it that was damaged.
There was a large hole in the giant's body here, but it was hidden by the snow.
Gu Qing Shan quickly walked forward to wipe away the snow.
A bunch of red cables!
Seeing the cables, Gu Qing Shan's eyes glowed.
Sure enough!
This is most likely — —
A burst of frenzied laughter came from within the snow:
"Ahahahaha, someone actually came here, there's a path to heaven yet you refuse to take it, there's no gate to hell yet you insist on entering!"
Gu Qing Shan didn't care who it was and immediately replied: "That's right, I've come here, what do you want, sir?"
[Red Dragon Origin Hex], activate!
After answering, Gu Qing Shan looked up at the snow.
The ground was trembling intensely as 7-8 black chains appeared from the snow. They were tightly binding a snake-headed monster.
The snake-headed monster didn't say anything and drew a gleaming dagger from its side.
It raised the dagger and smirked: 「 Although I've been trapped for a long time, I can still unleash a single attack — — – go! 」
The dagger was sent flying.
The dagger was sent flying back.
The snake-headed monster was surprised and slowly looked down.
The dagger was stabbed into its chest.
It was stabbed very deeply.
Blood flowed down from the wound.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and spoke with concern: "You're bleeding, quickly wipe it off"
「 You bastard — — 」 the snake-headed monster angrily roared.
Boom!!!
An overwhelming killing intent erupted from its body as it gritted its teeth and muttered: 「 I want to kill — — 」
Before it finished, Gu Qing Shan had already activated the Wraith realm Divine Skill, [Thunder Demon]!
His entire body suddenly turned into a streak of lightning as he quickly retreated. Traveling through the snow, past the endless snow, back to the edge of the cliff, then flew straight up the cliff and disappeared from sight.
Halfway through its sentence, the snake-headed monster had already gathered all of its presence to attack, but its opponent abruptly disappeared.
It stood blankly in the snow, slowly retracted its presence and muttered unwillingly: 「 He … ran … just like that? 」
Before it finished its sentence.
With a flash of lightning, Gu Qing Shan appeared in front of it.
She swung her Blade — — -
Crack!
The blade struck the monster's neck.
A trace of blood appeared.
The monster shouted: 「 You're courting death — — 」
As soon as Gu Qing Shan struck, he had already activated [Thunder Demon]!
He turned into a streak of lightning and quickly retreated. Traveling through the snow, past the endless snow, back to the edge of the cliff, then flew straight up the cliff and disappeared from sight.
The monster's presence froze and froze again.
At another location.
A streak of lightning traveled through the wilderness, quickly arrived in front of the city wall, leapt up, and stopped.
Gu Qing Shan appeared.
「 Hoh — — that attack just now was truly impressive, it gave me the feeling of death, fortunately, I was able to escape in time 」
He muttered to himself, drew his Blade, and broke a brick off the wall.
First, he used the Blade to cut the brick thin, then used an arrow to carve out two eyes, a nose, and a mouth from the thin brick.
A crude mask was completed.
A rumbling voice suddenly resounded in the sky:
「 What are you doing? 」
The five-headed monster appeared and curiously asked.
It had noticed as soon as Gu Qing Shan returned, so it had been hiding in the clouds to spy on her.
How unfortunate.
Whenever it felt a bit of killing intent, Gu Qing Shan would immediately give off a cluster of lightning and try to escape.
This forced the five-headed monster to temporarily give up on that thought.
— — -this brat is too sharp, he'll most likely run away as soon as I act, and I won't be able to catch up.
— — -but what is he doing?
Gu Qing Shan took out a rope from his body, tied the mask on, and wore it on his head.
"Does it look good?" he asked the five-headed monster.
「 … Hideous 」 the five-headed monster didn't know what to say and coldly replied.
「 You don't understand, this is my Mech helmet from back in the day, it's a bit post-Gothic, but I don't use the Mech anymore, but I still remember the design, just look at how cold the lines are 」 Gu Qing Shan explained.
The five-headed monster glared at him.
Who cares if you have lines or not, I'm looking for your weakness, bastard!
「 What are you afraid of wearing that mask? 」 the five-headed monster asked.
"That's right, I want to do something shameful, but I don't want anyone to know that I did it — —"
「 That's why you're wearing a mask? 」 the five-headed monster asked with interest.
Gu Qing Shan sighed and helplessly replied: "I don't have any strength right now, so it's too hard for me to accomplish anything, so I can only ignore my demeanor and reputation for now and focus on accomplishing what I want first"
"That's why I'm wearing a mask to hide"
