In a depression, a creeping monster less than three feet tall was lying lazily in the mud, waiting for his prey to come to the door.
However, it seems that it has been here for some time. It shakes its body slightly, opens its big mouth full of tusks, deeply looks like a lazy waist, then waves its thin and short legs and drags its long body to leave here.
It is a bully nearby. With its extraordinary explosive power and bite force, once the prey is bitten by itself, there will only be one end, that is death.
It had just come out of the mud, and suddenly its insensitive ears seemed to hear something, and the fierce light in its eyes looked directly to its left.
In the distant sky, I don't know when a small monster appeared. It was flying towards this side happily. It seemed that I didn't see the monster motionless below.
The monster's eyes were fixed on it and his body was motionless. Although the strange little guy was a little small, it was good as an appetizer.
The little guy seemed to be unaware of the threat, getting closer and closer to the top of the monster.
When he came to his own sky, the monster below suddenly bounced, opened his mouth like a lightning, and quickly swallowed the small things in the air. Only then was he satisfied with falling from the air.
Subconsciously stirred his mouth for a few times, but found that his mouth was empty. He raised his head in amazement, but he didn't understand anything on his head. He swallowed the little thing before.
"Did you eat it by mistake?" the monster thought suspiciously. Maybe it was because it was too small to feel it.
The monster didn't think about this problem anymore. He was about to leave here. He suddenly felt that there was a deadly burst of energy in his body. He didn't have time to think about what was going on. Then the next moment, he lost consciousness.
In the distance, Shuanger looked at the monster standing up with a body three feet high, fell heavily to the ground, and then the figure of cute pet in the air appeared again, shouting happily towards this side, as if urging them to come.
Shuanger stared at the scene. Although it had killed monsters several times before, without this shock, she went into each other's body and broke out directly in it by using space ability. She herself stepped out. For these monsters who like to devour things, she simply said that they exist like natural enemies.
No matter how good your external defense is, all creatures inside your body are the same. They are very fragile. Without prevention, it's a standard.
When the two men came to the body, the cute pet light car skillfully stretched out its claws, drew at a position in the other party's brain, and a huge hole was exposed. Then one of the claws suddenly lengthened, went deep inside, stirred back and forth in it, and then jumped.
A green spar the size of an apple jumped out of it. Shuanger on the side grabbed it in the void and fixed it in the air. Then a stream of water rose out of thin air to clean some stains on the green spar, which was carefully put into his own space.
It seems that the action is very skilled. I shouldn't have done less.
And Meng Chong has once again fallen on Gu Zheng's shoulder, raised his head and looked at the distance with interest. Looking at it like this, it seems that he hasn't killed enough.
"Xiaomeng pet, wait until we turn in front, and then go to find your master." Gu Zheng said to the nearby mengpet with a smile, causing it to nod and scream.
Xiaomeng pet is the name given to it by Gu Zheng, no matter what it used to be called.
With a wave in Shuanger's hand, the monster body at the bottom disappeared again and was put away by her. I have to say that childe Qi was very generous. He even gave Shuanger a huge storage ring with a lot of good things in it.
Then they continued on their way. In the far distance, many tall and powerful peaks loomed, and their forward direction was the Jifeng mountains.
It turned out that they were in Zhongyuan village. After watching Mei Changlao succeed in becoming the village head, he wanted to leave directly, but Mei Changlao asked them to stay for a day and rest before leaving. He just thanked him.
The change of the village head had almost no impact on the village, but let everyone breathe a sigh of relief. At least we didn't have to risk the risk to hunt that terrible monster.
That night, everyone tasted the incomparable delicious again, and this situation would take a few more days, so that the hunting pair who should have gone out had another two days of rest.
But only the next day, Gu Zheng took some food from elder Mei and left there.
All these were planned by themselves. Although they could easily kill the regular attack when they left at first, they could not dispel the inflated desire in their hearts.
Because of the ancient struggle, the ancient struggle is determined to understand it. It will not cause the death of the villagers. Although their dreams have been dashed, life continues.
So after running around for so many days, Gu Zheng finally killed the green Beast and went out of Hunyuan village. It took a little time, but he finally solved the problem.
Mei Changlao also repeatedly assured himself that he would be kind to those newcomers.
The three walked all the way. As long as some monsters on their way were solved by Meng Chong, and they found crystal stones similar to purified green fog, which was a little close to the real power of darkness, which made Gu Zheng overjoyed.
I saw some crystal stones taken out of the giant elephant's head before. It seems that they are right. Almost all the creatures here have this kind of thing, so as long as they are within the scope of perception, all the monsters will not let go.
Of course, Shuanger perceives the aftermath and sends Meng Chong to kill, while he himself follows leisurely.
However, the route they took was remote, so they didn't meet a few monsters along the way, and this side was close to the territory of Jifeng mountain, which was even more deserted.
On the lonely earth, a lonely peak stands in it. Although it looks steep, the open apprentice still seems a little lonely.
At this time, Gu Zheng came to a small hillside not far from the mountain, looked at the place where the birds don't shit around, and didn't know how the people here survive. It felt too difficult.
This is the so-called border and the site of Shifeng village.
According to elder Mei, the last communication was ten years ago. At that time, the village head of Shifeng village led a group of people to communicate. Since then, there has been no news from them and I don't know what the situation is.
But according to the usual information, this is really the poorest place. If there is no need, no one is willing to come here, but one advantage is that they can plant some of their previous food, at least not famine.
So every time we communicate with each other and intermarry, at least many people are willing to marry there or become redundant.
The exchange was once every five years, but she didn't come last time, but it's not surprising that it often happens, so Mei Changlao didn't feel any accident.
"It's too desolate here. How did they live?" Shuanger didn't believe that they lived in the mountain. It took three days to get to the nearest forest, almost as long as they reached the Jifeng mountain.
"Who knows, but since they have been living here for many years, there must be their way of life." Gu Zheng looked at the distance, no one came in and out, and no one warned within his own sight. After hearing Shuanger's words, he replied.
"Let's go. It seems that we're not close. We can't see any information from the outside." Gu Zheng sighed and took the two of them to the opposite side.
Originally, he didn't plan to come here. When he wanted to come, Meng Chong's master had already died, but there were still some things left, which made him mistakenly think he wasn't dead.
But who knows, under Gu Zheng's repeated inquiry, his master is still alive, but the location is indeed in the Jifeng mountains. Although it doesn't know the specific location, it can lead it to find its master.
Since Gu Zheng has promised it, how can he break his promise? It's a big deal to spend more time and go through the cave.
In that case, Gu Zheng decided to come here for a look. The purpose is the same as before to see if there are new people here.
Because Gu Zheng also learned from Han Xiu that the number of humans this time is not large, that is, 100 or 10 people. It seems that they are likely to be randomly assigned to each village.
When I came to the bottom of the mountain, I went around in a big circle and found a rugged path. It can only make a person turn away smoothly. The marks on it show that this is their channel. However, it seems that no one has walked for a long time. I don't know if there are other paths, and I don't want to find them.
Gu Zheng and Shuanger climbed up along this path that was not a road. There were many strange stones outside the mountain. They were afraid that the other party's hole was very secret and it was difficult to find it when they flew up, so they had to take this stupid method.
As they climbed half a mountainside step by step, a low cry came from the side.
"Who!"
Gu Zheng looked at the sound, but he couldn't see anyone, but Shuanger pointed to the back of a mountain wall and motioned for the other party to hide there.
"We come from Zhongyuan village and just pass by here." Gu Zheng didn't speak, but Shuanger spoke in advance.
A very thin child flashed out from behind. He looked only twelve or thirteen years old, and the childish spirit on his face had not completely disappeared.
"Are you from Zhongyuan village?" maybe people here are very united, at least they don't doubt them.
"Of course, the village head sent us to see what's going on here. You didn't go there a few years ago." Shuanger bent down and said with a smile.
At that time, the little boy blushed when he saw that Shuanger was so intimate. He unconsciously stepped back and whispered, "I don't know, but come with me. Everyone is inside. You should be careful. Now everyone is ill. Don't be infected."
With that, the little boy turned and continued to walk towards the next.
"What's your name? Why are there no guards here?" Gu Zheng said hello and asked Meng Chong to return to his shoulder and follow him.
"Just call me Xiao Feng. This passage is no longer needed. We dug a tunnel a few years ago and can come up directly from the foot of the mountain. Now only young people like us are sent here to watch." the little boy walked around the rugged mountain with bare feet. His feet had a thick cocoon, and his body shape was more flexible than giving them.
After several corners, a tunnel with a height of more than one person appeared in front of them. There were some red rocks around, emitting a weak red light, illuminating the long and narrow channel.
"Xiaofeng, you say someone here is ill. Is it serious?" Gu Zheng followed Xiaofeng through the channel. If he hadn't followed him, they couldn't find the channel at all. There was a thin layer of rock outside as a cover.
"It's very serious. Many elders are sick and dead, and my grandfather is also sick and dead." Xiaofeng's voice is a little low and clear in the channel.
Gu Zheng and Shuanger look at each other. It seems that their situation is not very good, and they don't know what happened.
"So Xiaofeng, tell me what's going on?" Frost said softly behind. "Maybe we can help you."
"I don't know. Ask the village head grandpa when you come back. You'll be there soon." Xiao Fengtou said without looking back and continued to lead the way ahead.
Frost son had no way. It was better than a incense burning time. They walked out of the channel. An incomparably huge cave space appeared in front of Gu Zheng. Their position was just a little higher. There was a slope next to them leading to the bottom. All the scenes were at a glance.
Although I knew something about this place for a long time, I was shocked when I saw it. The area here is not much smaller than that outside. All the light red light on the surrounding walls seems to be a kind of ore, emitting a light temperature, which makes the temperature here just right and much higher than that outside.
There are no monsters that can attack here. Of course, no one here will have the power of darkness, which can be regarded as gains and losses. The middle is no exception. Around a pool, stone houses are arranged in a staggered manner. On the surrounding walls, there are dozens of and caves, which are crystal like fireflies.
Some people are just going in and out, but Gu Zheng can easily see that all faces are sad.
Because nearly 200 people gathered in the West and crowded together. There was a faint black gas on each face. They all lay powerlessly on the ground. A simple stone wall was made in the middle and divided into two worlds.
Gu Zheng's appearance also attracted the attention of the following people. In a relatively large stone house in the East, several old people soon came out, and Gu Zheng has come down and appeared in front of them soon.
"My name is Gu Zheng. I'm from Zhongyuan village. I just came here to do something. I'll come and see you by the way." Gu Zheng said to the old man in front who was leaning on a simple crutch.
"Well, I'm village head Xu here. I didn't expect village head Chang to send someone here. It's hard for you. Let's talk in the room." the old man's voice revealed a trace of fatigue, but he warmly invited them to sit down.
At this time, Gu Zheng had already replaced them with animal skins, which didn't look as conspicuous as before, so the village head didn't doubt their identity at all.
When the crowd had just arrived at the hall, Gu Zheng said straight to village head Xu, "I saw here just now. It seems that something has happened here. Can you tell us if it's convenient?"
Hearing this, village head Xu's forced smile disappeared. Sorrow occupied his face again. He sighed heavily before saying.
"To tell you the truth, a few years ago, when we were about to go to your place, there was a huge evil beast hiding in a swamp on the way. We didn't notice for a moment, and several people died and injured. Originally, this was not a big detour, but only a few hours later, someone was unconscious, and there were others or people More or less weakness, so we hurried back. "
Speaking of this, the surroundings on Xu's face were more dense, as if they were all crowded together. The whole look in his eyes was dull, as if he had returned to that time, but after only one breath of loss of consciousness, he returned to his mind for the second time, and then said.
"After we came back, we didn't know what was going on. Just like some kind of plague, we were here almost all with skin injuries. Generally, this condition can't be treated at all, so we can only watch them die, but the next nightmare came. In the next time, some people were infected again and again, but we couldn't do anything with him Yes. "
"Just a few years ago, it was only the weak old people, but some time ago, this phenomenon was spreading rapidly. We infected half of the people. Now everyone is in a panic. We are afraid that the next person is ourselves. We are all ready to go to you for help, and you are here."
After hearing Xu's speech, Gu Zheng frowned. Unexpectedly, the situation here was so serious. Gu Zheng knew that elder Mei didn't have such a skilled doctor, because the people here were very strange. They didn't have such minor diseases outside. Almost all of them died of life except war.
Very few people die of illness, which also leads to the lack of help here.
However, after feeling the eyes coming from the side, Gu Zheng said to village head Xu, "I think the situation is a little serious. If you go to us, I'm afraid it's too late for this time."
"That's right, but all the methods we can use have been exhausted and there is nothing we can do. These things make everyone feel insecure. If we don't solve our problem, it will completely dissipate." village head Xu said with chagrin, and the people next to him also frowned and sighed one by one.
"Don't worry, village head Xu. Otherwise, let's take a look for you. Maybe we can help you solve this problem." Gu Zheng thought for a while and then said.
"You?" elder Xu looked at Gu Zheng's young face and the same young Shuanger, and then shook his head. "You'd better not get close. Once that thing gets close, it can be contagious. For your safety, I think you'd better find your sacrifice."
"Who says I'm not a sacrifice? Otherwise, how could it be that only two of us came and went here." Gu Zheng smiled and a faint green awn appeared in his hand.
