Gu Xu didn't know how long he had fallen.
At first, he could feel a strong sense of weightlessness. His heartbeat accelerated, his blood surged, and the nerves throughout his body became tense.
But then the feeling of weightlessness seemed to disappear.
He seemed to be floating in the sky, sometimes motionless, sometimes writhing up and down, sometimes as if he was being sucked into a black hole, his limbs were pulled by terrifying force, and bursts of severe pain were felt.
As it went lower, the gray mist became thicker and thicker, blocking all his sight, making him completely unaware of where he was.
The sound of the sea water also became fainter and fainter, gradually returning to silence.
After a long time, his feet finally touched solid ground.
At this time the fog cleared.
Gu Xu found himself in a desolate wilderness, with sparse vegetation standing alone, and the naked stones and sand shivering in the cold wind.
The sky that was originally daytime now turned into night.
There is no moon, only a few stars are shining coldly.
"What is this place?" Gu Xu asked Qi Ling.
"I don't know either," Weapon Spirit shook his head and replied, "'Guixu' can be said to be the weirdest area in the entire wild world. Many years ago, the emperor also took several subordinates to explore "Guixu".
"After jumping from the waterfall, several of them went to different places. Some saw the ancients from a hundred years ago, and some saw themselves a few years ago. The emperor arrived at a mysterious country where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment and everything flourished. He called it It is a "paradise". "
Gu Xu remembered what was said in the book: There is "Hunyuan Qi" at the edge of the world, which can allow people to travel through time and space inadvertently.
"Then do you know how I can go back?" he asked again.
"The bottom of Guixu is not a place where living people can stay for a long time," Qi Ling said. "When you stay here for a period of time, maybe a few days, maybe a few months, the power of the law will automatically The earth will send you out."
"A few months..." Gu Xu felt a little headache.
If he stays in "Return to Ruins" for too long, there won't be much time left for him to find the last "Astrolabe" fragment.
"And, most importantly, where should I find the Azure Dragon fragments of the "Astrolabe"? He thought for a while and then said, "As a weapon spirit, you should be sensitive to it, right?"
Previously, Gu Xu had only sensed the general direction of a few "astral disk" fragments, but was unable to determine its specific location yet.
"You will be able to see it the moment you return to the real world." The weapon spirit said mysteriously.
Gu Xu nodded and began to carefully observe the unfamiliar environment around him.
At this time, he suddenly heard the creepy howling of ghosts and wolves from behind a hill, as well as the screams of humans mixed with crying.
"Are there ghosts preying on humans again?" Gu Xu frowned.
As a former official of the Exorcism Department, he had been taught and nurtured by superiors like Chen Jisheng for a long time. Killing demons and saving people has almost become his instinct.
He planned to go to the other side of the mountain to have a look first.
If the ghost is not strong, help; if the ghost is too strong, immediately tear apart the space and escape.
After a while, he saw a group of people, men and women, old and young, wearing clothes made of animal skins and leaves, running for their lives with staggering steps.
"Am I in a primitive society?"
Seeing how these people were dressed, Gu Xu secretly guessed.
Behind this group of people, there were three tall, grinning ghosts chasing them.
These ghosts are more than three meters tall, with wide mouths and big eyes, horns on their heads, fangs in their mouths, and big sticks with sharp thorns in their hands. They look menacing, ferocious and terrifying.
Gu Xu knew that the name of this kind of ghosts was "ferocious ghosts". They drank the blood of humans and beasts and ate the flesh of humans and beasts.
Although they look scary, they are actually only at the "wild ghost" level. Gu Xu can easily kill them with a "ghost-killing talisman".
Deal with it easily.
However, these "primitive people" who escaped looked like ordinary people without any cultivation.
Facing the "ferocious ghost" with its teeth and claws snarling, they had no power to fight back.
Gu Xu thought for a moment, then used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique to step forward and block the gap between the crowd and the ghost at lightning speed.
His sudden appearance surprised everyone and the ghosts present.
On the one hand, he moves too fast, beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
On the other hand, he wears a fluttering green shirt and has a very immortal temperament, which is incompatible with the "primitive painting style" of everyone here.
His actions were also extremely decisive.
Before the "ferocious ghosts" could react, his true essence condensed on his fingertips, and then turned into a blazing flame, covering the "ferocious ghosts".
These flames look like Jiaofangsi dancers, spinning, singing, and dancing with their red, orange, and yellow skirts.
The surrounding temperature rose instantly, causing beads of sweat to appear on people's faces.
Gu Xu noticed that among the crowd, there was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old who was staring at the blazing flames with an expression of longing and yearning on her face.
Soon, the terrifying-looking "ferocious ghosts" were all turned into black ashes.
Gu Xu turned to look at the shocked people, smiled and said in a kind tone: "I have eliminated the ghosts. You are safe now."
Everyone looked at each other and did not respond immediately.
After a brief silence, under the leadership of an old man, they knelt down respectfully in front of Gu Xu one by one, kowtowed to him repeatedly, and kept chanting: "Thank you to the great gods for saving me in danger."
Gu Xu realized that after casting some simple spells, he was worshiped as a mystery by this group of people.
"I'm not a god," he took a step forward, intending to reach out to help them up. "I'm just an ordinary practitioner who happened to pass by here."
But these people still stubbornly knelt on the ground and refused to get up.
Judging from their confused expressions, they seemed to have no idea what a "practitioner" was.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xu had roughly guessed that he might have traveled to the ancient times before the birth of the cultivation method through "Return to the Ruins".
Because of this, these people do not know how to practice and have no concepts related to practice in their minds.
After a moment, the fourteen or fifteen year old girl stood up from the ground first and walked towards Gu Xu.
Gu Xu looked at her appearance, feeling amazed in his heart.
"Zhao Yan?" He couldn't help blurting out.
"Who is "Zhao Yan"? "The girl frowned, feeling very confused, "My name is "Xi", maybe you have the wrong person! "
