Gu Qing Shan quickly ran through the forest until he reached a clearing where he carefully took a detour.
After running for a few dozen feet, another clearing appeared in front of him.
Gu Qing Shan paused and took another detour.
After walking for a bit more, pushing aside the thick branches, another barren clearing appeared in front of him.
As far as the eye could see, this clearing was everywhere.
Gu Qing Shan sighed, gritted his teeth, and leapt up.
He raised his military bow and shot an arrow towards the ground.
The arrow pierced deep into the ground, leaving only the tail of the arrow exposed.
Not too long later, a face as big as a field appeared in the clearing.
The face spat out the arrow, looked at Gu Qing Shan and slowly asked: 「 How … did you … know … that I was … here? 」
Gu Qing Shan observed it and replied: "The soil is too new"
「 What … do you mean? 」 the face showed a confused expression.
This was a type of demon that could burrow underground, called Earth Fiends.
They were born with the ability to resist Elemental spells to a certain degree, so if they ran into a sword cultivator, they would immediately burrow into the ground.
Burrowing underground was a powerful Thaumaturgy that very few living beings could grasp.
Earth Fiends were practically invincible during military battles, causing human cultivators a lot of headaches.
It wasn't until a long time later that the players found out that they had a fatal weakness — — their brains weren't that good.
As long as the words of others successfully piqued the interest of the Earth Element Devil, the Earth Element Devil would believe them.
Gu Qing Shan then said: "You should bring some soil from where you came from, that would be the same as your yellow color"
He continued: "If that's the case, I wouldn't be able to find you — — - no one would be able to find you"
The face on the ground asked: 「 No one would be able to find me, really? 」
「 Really? 」
「 Really? 」
「 Really? 」
「 Really? 」
Countless other similar voices resounded.
Gu Qing Shan barely managed to calm herself down and stood on top of a tree to look down.
Countless giant faces appeared from the ground, all of them appeared excited as they stared at Gu Qing Shan.
These faces were so numerous that they almost covered the entire mountain.
— — -the Earth Fiend army, the main force of the demons.
Although the Faceless Giants were powerful, they were few in number, so the Earth Fiend army was needed to surround and kill them.
"Of course it's true, no one would be able to find me" Gu Qing Shan looked around and laughed, "if you don't believe me, you can bring some soil to try, I'll be waiting here"
The face showed an eager expression and said: 「 Alright, you … wait for me 」
Saying so, the face disappeared into the ground and quickly disappeared.
「 I'm also … going 」
「 I'm also … going 」
「 I'm also … going 」
「 I'm also 」
The humanoid faces disappeared from the ground one after another, fleeing into the distance.
The place where these monsters came from was the base camp of the Demon Army, which was thousands of miles away. With the speed of the Earth Element Devil, it would take a long time for them to return.
As soon as the Earth Devil left, Gu Qing Shan's body moved, wanting to run.
What a joke, if the entire Earthly Devil Army were to move, such a large formation would definitely alarm the Devil Army. It was very likely that they would be intercepted halfway and ordered to return to the frontlines.
If they come back, it'll be over.
As Gu Qing Shan was about to leave, a voice came from not too far away.
"Young friend, thank you for helping me, how should I address you?"
As Gu Qing Shan turned around, he saw an old man smiling at him.
Gu Qing Shan held his bow and quickly spoke: "This humble one is Gu Qing Shan, Vanguard soldier of the Vanguard Cavalry, who might you be? Do you have a badge? "
The old man threw the badge over. Gu Qing Shan caught it and infused his spirit energy into the badge.
The token immediately lit up. A flame rose from the token and condensed into a line, forming a few large words.
"Ding Yuan General Gongsun Zhi"
Gu Qing Shan's heart sank.
Humanity's Cultivator Alliance's Ding Yuan General, Holy Gate's Grand Elder, Formation Grandmaster Gongsun Zhi!
How could it be him!
I've already left the camp, I've already gone far away from where he was surrounded, why would I still run into him?
He's about to die, if I run into him at this time, wouldn't I be surrounded by demons as well?
Gu Qing Shan's mind flashed like lightning, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
He threw his badge over, letting the other party check it as well.
Both sides calmed down a bit.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help but ask: "So it's General Gongsun, why are you here alone?"
Gongsun Zhi sighed, took out a small formation plate, placed both hands on it and shouted: "Six-fold Escaping Formation, activate!"
Gu Qing Shan only felt the scene in front of him change, the scenery in front of him disappeared in an instant, when he looked again, he found himself standing in front of a Taoist temple.
Outside the Taoist temple, the four directions were all blank, making it impossible to tell the distance and direction.
A formation was used to hide a Taoist temple in the middle of this mountain range!
With such a terrifying formation layout, there's no doubt about it, this person is Gongsun Zhi.
Gu Qing Shan followed Gongsun Zhi into the Taoist temple, only to see a person wearing a snow-white cloak and golden armor sitting on a cushion in the middle.
This person's armor wasn't bulky at all, instead, it was thin and delicate, showing off her slender and beautiful figure.
Her head was lowered, only looking up when Gongsun Zhi brought Gu Qing Shan in, but when she found that the person wasn't even at Foundation Establishment realm, she lowered her head again.
When she looked up, Gu Qing Shan saw that she was wearing a silver mask that completely covered her face.
"Young friend Qing Shan, thank you for driving away the Earthly Devil army, otherwise we would have been trapped here"
"Him? Driving away the Earthly Devil army? "a pleasant female voice could be heard.
The golden-armored woman was surprised, but her expression couldn't be seen under the silver mask.
"That's right" Gongsun Zhi answered, "Earthly Devils have awakened the Earth of the 5 Elements, so they can control the earth. This greatly affected my formation layout, but now it's all been tricked away by him"
"Tricked away?"
The golden-armored woman was even more confused.
Gongsun Zhi then told her the whole story.
The golden-armored woman finally looked at Gu Qing Shan and asked: "How did you know this monster's weakness?"
Gu Qing Shan already had an excuse in her mind, so she calmly answered: "This humble one is in the Vanguard, dealing with demons every day, so I like to study their characteristics, so I learned a thing or two"
"Vanguard? That makes sense. " The golden-armored woman muttered, "as far as I know, the Vanguard was defeated by the demon army's main force, almost all of them were wiped out, you might be the only one who survived"
Gu Qing Shan displayed a look of grief and indignation.
Gongsun Zhi's eyes lit up and asked: "Then how much do you know about the other demons?"
This was the first time the human army fought against the demons, so they still couldn't figure out the demons' characteristics, so they suffered quite a bit.
Quite a few troops were wiped out, not a single bit of information was sent back, so they still don't know how strong the demons are at the back.
If there was a soldier who survived the Vanguard that could point out the characteristics of the demons, it would be a great help in the war.
"A bit" Gu Qing Shan confirmed it.
The spirit energy on these two people was as dark as the sea, so Gu Qing Shan wasn't sure how they would treat her, so she decided to show her value.
