A bolt of thunder and lightning swept across the earth and flew into the distance.
at some point.
The thunder and lightning dispersed, and Gu Qingshan appeared.
He took advantage of his inertia and jogged forward a few steps, stopped on a cliff, and looked ahead.
"What a desolate place..."
The world is in depression.
Pieces of snowflakes are falling with the wind.
Beneath the cliff are vast glaciers, extending to distant mountains covered with ice and snow.
Gu Qingshan looked at it carefully for a moment, his expression gradually became serious.
The glacier land is not empty. On the contrary, there are countless dilapidated palaces.
Although these palaces are dilapidated and covered in ice and snow, they still exude an indescribable ferocity.
——What exactly is the so-called Five Elements War?
Gu Qingshan kept thinking in his mind, tightened his luggage, tied up his sword and bow, and climbed down along the edge of the cliff.
Although he has lost his strength, he often practices the martial arts taught by Lin, and facing a cliff is still no problem.
About an hour later, his feet stepped on the snow.
At this time, the snow fell even harder.
Gu Qingshan squinted his eyes and looked forward, only to see that ten steps away was completely covered by the wind and snow, and his eyesight could no longer distinguish objects.
Various strange sounds kept coming from the distant palace complex.
Gu Qingshan has never heard those sounds before.
——They seem to come from all kinds of completely unknown existences.
Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and suddenly looked back.
"ah……"
Apart from letting out such an incomprehensible sigh, Gu Qingshan could not say anything else.
It’s really too shocking——
It turns out that the cliff is not a cliff, but a huge stone sculpture.
Because he was too close, Gu Qingshan couldn't see clearly what was carved in the entire stone sculpture.
He kept retreating into the distance, trying to stay as far away from the stone sculptures as possible, and then he finally saw the original appearance of the stone sculptures clearly.
——But it was a stone giant with his eyes closed.
The giant remained motionless, as if dead.
Gu Qingshan quietly felt the breath.
Yes, it really is like dying.
——No wonder I didn’t sense there was a problem in advance.
He looked at the other person and shouted tentatively.
The stone giant showed no reaction.
Gu Qingshan drew out his long knife and slashed deeply into the stone.
The giant still didn't wake up.
Gu Qingshan increased his strength and cut again.
Sparks flew out from the stone, and there was a crisp chopping sound.
——No response.
Too much sleep?
Or is this guy really dead?
He put away the knife and put his hand on the stone giant by accident.
An inexplicable sense of intimacy arose.
——It’s like this giant has a natural connection with him.
Gu Qingshan stood in the wind and snow, silently looking at the stone giant.
A large part of the body of this stone giant was obscured by the snow. Only some outlines could be seen, but its full picture could not be seen clearly.
Suddenly, Gu Qingshan looked somewhere.
That's where he struck with his sword.
A thin line was cut open on the surface of the rock, revealing the metallic luster.
Could it be...
Gu Qingshan squatted down, used a long knife as a tool, and scraped hard for a while.
More metal was exposed before his eyes.
——This is not a stone giant, but a giant made of steel!
Gu Qingshan was even more surprised and couldn't help but murmured:
"Who are you anyway?"
Between heaven and earth, there was only wind and snow blowing.
If it had been in the past, Gu Qingshan would have been able to blow away the ice and snow just by making a magic trick at will.
That way, he could study the giant carefully and maybe find some clues.
But now, he has lost all his strength and can only look up at the stone giant. Even the ice and snow on the giant's body cannot be removed.
Gu Qingshan sighed and recalled the description of this place by the five-headed monster.
——It says this is a prison.
What's in the prison?
What does this giant have to do with prison?
There is too little information to make blind guesses.
Gu Qingshan turned to look at Feng Xue.
I have seen it on the cliff before, and there is a ruined palace in front of it.
Let’s go take a look first.
He made up his mind and walked into the wind and snow, and his figure quickly disappeared into it.
It didn't take long.
Another huge silhouette appeared ahead.
——Another stone giant.
Although a large part of it is hidden under the ice and snow, its identity can be identified just by the exposed part.
Gu Qingshan was a little surprised.
This stone giant seems to have experienced a fierce battle and has become broken.
It lay quietly on the ground without any movement.
"Huh? That seems to be——"
Gu Qingshan suddenly saw something and quickly stepped forward and wiped away the ice and snow.
On this part of the giant's shell, there are a few words etched in common human characters:
"Creations of the human world."
It’s a creation!
It's made of steel!
An idea suddenly flashed through Gu Qingshan's mind.
Could it be...
His whole body suddenly became excited.
"Is there such a thing among the six realms of reincarnation?"
Gu Qingshan muttered as he walked around the giant and finally found a broken place.
A big hole was opened in the giant's body from here, but the situation inside was obscured by the snow.
Gu Qingshan took three steps and two steps at a time, stepped forward and smoothed away the ice and snow.
A tangle of red cables!
Gu Qingshan looked at the cable and his eyes lit up.
really!
This is probably——
Suddenly, a burst of laughter came from the wind and snow:
"Hahahahahaha, someone actually came here. It's true that there is a way to heaven but if you don't take it, there is no door to hell and you have to enter!"
Gu Qingshan didn't care who it was, and immediately answered: "Yes, I am here. May I ask for your advice?"
Red Dragon’s original curse, start!
After responding to this, Gu Qingshan raised his head and looked into the wind and snow.
The ground shook violently, and seven or eight black iron ropes emerged from the snow. They tightly bound a monster with a snake head and human body.
Without saying a word, the snake-headed monster pulled out a gleaming dagger from his side.
It raised its dagger and said with a ferocious smile: "Although I have been trapped for a long time, I can still make an attack - go!"
The dagger flew out with a swishing sound.
The dagger flew back with another swipe.
The snake-headed monster was startled, and slowly looked down.
I saw the dagger stuck in its own chest.
It's very deep.
Blood gurgled down.
Gu Qingshan sighed and said with concern: "It's bleeding, wipe it quickly."
"You bastard——" the snake-headed monster roared.
boom! ! !
An astonishing killing intent erupted around it, and it gritted its teeth and said, "I want to kill -"
Before he finished speaking, Gu Qingshan had already activated the evil ghost technique, Thunder Ghost!
His whole body suddenly turned into a flash of lightning, and he quickly retreated, shuttled across the snow, crossed the vast snow, retreated to the edge of the cliff, and flew vertically up the cliff, out of sight.
The monster with a snake head and a human body was halfway through his sentence. All the momentum on his body was concentrated to the top and he was about to attack, but his opponent suddenly disappeared.
It stood blankly in the wind and snow, slowly regained its momentum, and said unwillingly: "Run away now?"
The words still haven't finished.
A flash of lightning was seen, and Gu Qingshan appeared in front of it.
Raising the long knife——
Click!
The blade struck the monster's neck.
A trace of blood appeared.
The monster shouted: "You are looking for death——"
When Gu Qingshan drew his sword, he had already activated Thunder Ghost!
He turned into a bolt of lightning, quickly retreated, shuttled across the snow, crossed the vast snow, retreated to the edge of the cliff, and flew vertically up the cliff, out of sight.
The monster's momentum froze and he was stunned again.
the other side.
A flash of lightning passed through the field, quickly came to the city wall, leaped up, and stopped.
Gu Qingshan appeared.
"Phew - that move it made just now was so powerful, it even gave me a sign of death. Fortunately, it ran fast."
He muttered to himself, drew out his long knife, and knocked a brick from the city wall.
First, use a knife to cut the brick thin, and then use arrows to dig out two eyes, a nose, and a mouth on the surface of the thin brick.
A crude mask is ready.
In the sky, a rumble suddenly sounded:
"What are you doing?"
The five-headed monster appeared and asked curiously.
It noticed it as soon as Gu Qingshan came back and kept hiding in the clouds to spy.
pity.
Whenever there was a hint of murderous intention in its heart, a ball of lightning would immediately appear on Gu Qingshan's body, ready to leave.
This forced Wu Tou to temporarily give up his thoughts.
——This kid is too smart. I'm afraid he will run away as soon as I make a move, and he won't be able to catch up.
——But what is he doing?
Gu Qingshan took out a rope from his body, threaded the mask and put it on his head.
"Does it look good?" he asked the five-headed monster.
"... Ugly." The five-headed monster didn't know what to say and replied coldly.
"You don't understand. This is my mecha helmet from back then. It has a bit of a post-gothic style. But now that I no longer use the mecha, I still remember the shape. Look how cold the lines are." Gu Qingshan explained.
The five-headed monster stared at him.
Who cares whether you have lines or not? I'm just looking for your flaws, bastard!
"What are you afraid of when you put on the mask?" the five-headed monster asked.
"Yes, I want to do something embarrassing, and I don't want people to know that I did it—"
"So you just wear a mask?" the five-headed monster asked with interest.
Gu Qingshan sighed and said helplessly: "I don't have the strength now. It's too difficult to accomplish something. I have to ignore my style and reputation and get things done first."
"So put on a mask and hide first."
