Gu Shuo used the Withered Cicada Technique to adjust his cultivation to the peak of the first level of Nascent Soul, then put away the Liuhe Disk and the Isolation Formation, came out of the tree hole, and flew towards the Dayun Lake.
Dayun Lake.
It is a large lake. The lake is covered with thick fog all year round, like floating clouds, so it is called Dayun Lake.
At this time, four people were sitting cross-legged on the shore of Dayun Lake. It was Zeng Dong and the other four.
At this time, the faces of the five people were a little ugly. They were still far away from the Holy Mountain of the Western Monster Clan, and there were only two missing from the six. Feng Rusong just returned it, it was to attract the demon monks, face the demon monks alone, life and death are unpredictable, he is a brave man.
But what happened to Gu Shuo?
They all arrived at Dayun Lake safely. Gu Shuo was the last one, how could something happen?
But it disappeared!
Zeng Dong and Zhou Hua did not make eye contact with each other, but they were communicating spiritually at this time.
"Do you think Gu Shuo escaped with some excuse?"
"It's not impossible. On the one hand, he should know your identity, and he should also know the identity of Feng Rusong. This mission was originally a narrow escape from death, and together with you and Feng Rusong, it was basically a near-death. He escaped with an excuse, Not surprising.”
"What should we do?"
"Hmph! Even if he escapes, can he still live?
If we don't accept it, will he dare to go back?
As long as you go back, you will definitely be executed. If you don't go back, you will become a rogue cultivator, and a wanted rogue cultivator, and you will die as a result. "
"But I'm not willing to give in! Because I'm not sure he will really die!"
"Damn this coward!"
Suddenly, the five people stood up and formed a tacit understanding of an offensive and defensive battle formation, looking to the left. Then his expression became stunned.
Gu Shuo walked out of the forest and walked towards them on the shore of Dayuan Lake. Zeng Dong and Zhou Hua looked stunned, while He Ping and Mao Fei looked happy. Gu Shuo walked up to them:
"Senior Brother Feng hasn't come back?"
"Where have you been?" Zhou Hua couldn't help but ask, his expression gloomy.
Gu Shuo said calmly: "I saw the demon monk suddenly cutting in front of me, so I changed the direction decisively, so it was delayed for a few days."
He turned to Zeng Dong: "Senior Brother Zeng, Senior Brother Feng hasn't come back yet?"
Zeng Dong shook his head: "No, we will wait for another two days. You did a good job."
Gu Shuo shook his head slightly and said: "It's nothing, it's all for the mission. Senior Brother Feng can lead the demon clan away, but it can't be because I was discovered by the demon clan and exposed everyone."
Zeng Dong nodded, no longer doubting Gu Shuo. If Gu Shuo really wanted to escape, he would not come back. I had doubts in my heart before, but facts speak louder than words.
The five people stopped talking and sat down cross-legged. Gu Shuo, He Ping, and Mao Fei secretly communicated with each other. Gu Shuo understood their experiences along the way and had been waiting here for nearly five days. However, He Ping and Mao Fei did not ask if he was the man in the black robe and mask. Naturally, Gu Shuo couldn't explain it either.
Two days later.
The faces of the five people were not good-looking, and Feng Rusong did not come back. No one suspected that Feng Rusong had escaped. At that time, he was chased by so many demon monks, so he probably died. Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Zeng Dong's face. The current captain is Zeng Dong.
Before reaching the Holy Mountain, one person had already been lost.
Zeng Dong had been waiting for the wind to enter the pine for a few days, and he also thought about his next action. At this time, he said: "We will walk to the star and fall into the lake. The distance between the two people will be shortened to one thousand meters, so that we can concentrate at any time."
Everyone nodded. Then stood up, Zeng Dong was the first to rush away, followed by Zhou Hua, He Ping, Mao Fei, and finally Gu Shuo.
The misty forest is like a maze. Fortunately, they have a map of the misty forest. There are five paths in the map. Now Zeng Dong has chosen one to explore the path in front, and others are following behind.
There are also many, many monsters in the misty forest, and they are very powerful. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the map given this time. This path avoids all powerful monsters. Even if he encounters monsters that occasionally pass by, Zeng Dong can hide and avoid them if he can. If it doesn't work, he will just hide and avoid them. Kill him by standing up. Fortunately, those monsters or monsters that accidentally wandered out of their territory were not as strong as Zeng Dong, so everyone walked out of the misty forest without any danger.
Three hundred miles away from the misty forest is Xingluo Lake.
Starfall Lake.
It is said that a group of meteors of different sizes fell from the sky, smashing more than a thousand large craters of different sizes into the ground, and then the lake was formed. From a distance, it looks like more than a thousand mirrors set on the ground, very beautiful. In each of the Xingluo Lakes, lotus flowers grow, covering the surface of the Xingluo Lake, which is green.
You can smell the fragrance of lotus flowers from a distance.
There are no monsters or monsters in this area of Xingluo Lake. But there is a water monster in the lake. Every year when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, monsters come to pick lotus seeds, and many of them are killed by the monsters in the lake. Therefore, outside of the season when lotus seeds are ripe, almost no monsters or monsters can be seen in Xingluo Lake.
At this time of year, the lotus seeds are already born, but they are not yet mature. As far as the eye can see, there are endless green lotus leaves swaying, but it is difficult to see the demon monks and demon beasts. As long as you hide the water monster in the lake, this road is relatively safe.
Zeng Dong restrained his breath and flew silently among the lotus leaves, which obscured his figure. As long as the water monster in the lake can be concealed, one can easily cross Xingluo Lake.
Everyone is cautious and does not require fast speed. He was asked to restrain his breath so as not to attract the attention of the water monster in the lake. Gu Shuo's face changed color as he flew quietly. When he flew over the first Xingluo Lake, he felt the vibration of Zhou Tian's treasure in the sea of consciousness. It seemed that it wanted to open automatically. This scared Gu Shuo to death. Suppressing the abnormal movement of Zhou Tianbaolu, it flew over cautiously, while thinking quickly in my heart.
Why does Zhou Tianbaolu move strangely?
He knew that Zhou Tian Baolu was not refined by the human race, but was obtained by human monks occasionally. No one knew where it came from. But what countless generations of owners of Zhou Tian Baolu have learned are two effects. One is that it can gather the energy of many people into the host of Zhou Tianbaolu, causing the host's strength to increase dramatically. The second function is that it will store the heavenly insights of past masters, and infuse it into the host when the Zhou Tianbao is opened. There has never been a time when he acted strangely. At least Gu Shuo didn't know.
Therefore, he did not dare to activate Zhou Tianbaolu, so he could only suppress it.
Once it starts, there will be disaster and fortune!
"call……"
Gu Shuo breathed out softly and finally crossed Xingluo Lake safely. He looked back at Xingluo Lake and remembered this place.
I will always look for an opportunity to visit in the future.
Zeng Dong in front had stopped, and everyone moved closer one after another. Then he found a place to repair, and Zeng Dong arranged the next path. After repairing, everyone continued to sneak.
More than ten days later.
Six people stood on the edge of a plain. Zeng Dong frowned and said: "This is an unavoidable place. If you want to reach the Western Holy Mountain, you must pass here. And it is empty and there is no hiding place." But after passing through this plain land, we will reach the Xiling Mountains, which will be much safer. This is the most dangerous place before we reach the Holy Mountain in the west.
According to the data, there are no demon monks in this plain. But there are many monsters. We must try our best to avoid fighting with monsters. Once we fight, it will arouse the thoughts of the monster monks in the Xiling Mountains. Let alone reaching the Holy Mountain to complete the mission, I'm afraid our lives will depend on this plain.
We walked at night and dug holes in the ground before dawn to hide ourselves. When night falls, move forward again. It is estimated that it will take seven days to travel there.
These seven days will be the seven days of our life and death. Everyone must be careful.
If someone is exposed, I hope that I can lure away the demon monks like Brother Feng did. If I am exposed, the next captain will be Zhou Hua.
Do you have any questions? "
"No!" Everyone shook their heads.
"Walk!"
In the night.
Five figures ran across the plain at extremely fast speeds, leaving blurry afterimages in the moonlight. Zeng Dong's lead was not a straight line, so he avoided detours when he found monsters.
Before dawn, everyone dug a hole, jumped into the hole, and released Taoist magic to backfill the soil.
On the second night, they emerged from the soil and continued to plunder.
The second night was safe, the third night was safe.
Night three.
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. To be honest, this is not a good weather for running at night. The night is bright.
Then……
The exposure was very sudden!
It was a nighthawk. It passed through the moonlit night and saw Zeng Dong and the others.
"cracking!"
This long cry spread in the silent night sky, and it was as far away as you can imagine. Then the nighthawk followed them high in the sky. Zeng Dong made a decisive decision and suddenly shot towards the sky, drawing a sword at the same time. That sword cut through the night sky like a ray of light.
"puff!"
The nighthawk was split into two halves, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. Zeng Dong's figure fell sharply towards the ground, and he shouted in a low voice:
"Hurry up and dig a hole and hide...it's too late!"
"cracking!"
The calls of countless nighthawks merged into a huge force, and the night sky was like a dark cloud quickly covering this side.
Without Zeng Dong's order, Gu Shuo and the others quickly gathered towards Zeng Dong, and at this time Zeng Dong also said urgently:
"Quickly, try your best to rush into the Xiling Mountains."
Then he flew towards the end of the plain like a bolt of lightning. Gu Shuo and others also flew away quickly, but everyone knew what was going on.
impossible!
This is the fourth night. The plan is that it will take seven nights to reach the Xiling Mountains, and there is still a distance of three nights.
How is it possible to arrive!
As Gu Shuo flew by, he took out a high-grade magic sword and held it in his hand, looking up at the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky began to tilt towards them, giving people a very depressing feeling, as if the sky was falling.
"boom……"
The battle broke out instantly, and the five people launched a powerful attack. The dark clouds were crushed and blood rained down.
People like Gu Shuo didn't dare to stop at all. They were killing and running away, and they were running straight towards the Xiling Mountains. At this time, there was no need to avoid anything. They had to use the shortest distance and the shortest time to go straight to Xiling. mountains.
However, they are really not as fast as the nighthawks.
The Nighthawk's strength is its speed. It keeps swooping down from the sky, then soars up, and swoops down again, just like a vortex of black clouds, constantly tilting down.
What's even more dangerous is that the sound of killing becomes louder and louder in the silent night. Moreover, the smell of blood is spreading, and it has begun to attract the monsters on Pingyuan, running towards this side.
It is conceivable that in the future, there may be a tide of beasts. Once a beast tide forms, it will be a huge crisis for Gu Shuo and the five of them. Maybe he won't be able to get out of the plain and die here.
The possibility of rushing into the Xiling Mountains before the beast tide forms is very slim.
Previously, Gushuo and the others were running around at night and hiding during the day. This would still take three nights, but now even if we travel during the day, it would still take a day and a half. But there are still nighthawk attacks, and there may be beast tide attacks in the future. How could it be possible to rush into the Xiling Mountains in one and a half days?
It will take at least two days.
However, running away and killing for two consecutive days and nights was a great test for them. Besides this test, there are also demon monks.
Two consecutive days of killing will not attract the demon clan?
Gu Shuo himself didn’t believe it.
"Qiang!"
There was a crisp sound, and a stream of light was seen flowing out from Zeng Dong's eyebrows, turning into a moon essence wheel, like a crescent moon. Zeng Dong’s voice sounded again:
"You go, Captain Zhou Hua, I will lure Nighthawk away."
"Chi chi chi..."
The moon essence wheel quickly enlarged in the air, circled and slashed, and killed several nighthawks. Zeng Dong's body flew in another direction. He didn't fly fast, and he killed while flying, attracting the nighthawks. . The four people on the ground, Zhou Hua, flew quickly towards the distance.
Zhou Hua was very fast, and He Ping was not slow either, but Mao Fei was not as fast. He Ping just wanted to turn around and help Mao Fei, but saw Gu Shuo flying over, grabbing Mao Fei's shoulder and stepping on it. Qingyun quickly caught up with He Ping.
He Ping was a little surprised. He understood how far Gu Shuo had come in his cultivation, and Gu Shuo was only at the first level of Nascent Soul now, so he shouldn't be so fast. But when I think about Gu Shuo's legend and his record of being able to jump to the next challenge, I feel like it's natural. Four people fled. There were still three nighthawks chasing after them, but they were instantly killed by Zhou Hua, and then everyone continued to run away. Half an hour later, there was no nighthawk in the sky, and the shaking of the earth was getting farther and farther away. It seemed that it had been lured away by Zeng Dong. Everyone continued to flee until just before dawn, four people skillfully dug a hole, jumped in, backfilled it, and set up an isolation array.
Silence returned to the plain!
The four of them were practicing in the pit. In order not to cause any traces of their practice, all three of Zhou Hua were practicing with spirit stones in their hands, while Gu Shuo was much more arrogant and practiced directly with the Liuhe Disk. His current realm is still very weak, and he needs to continue to practice to consolidate his realm. Of course, in the process of cultivation, he also insisted on understanding the way of heaven and deducing the subsequent techniques of Tai Chi Jue.
