Liu Ying and Zhang Tiancheng bowed to Gu Zheng and left. Gu Zheng took Gu An and continued walking along the mine tunnel.

After walking for nearly half of the time and disappearing, Gu Zheng and the others finally arrived at the bottom of the mine tunnel.

Along the way, Guzheng discovered two more worm-eaten logs, and there were no worms in them either. However, judging from the saliva left by the long-tongued beast, it was closer to the time when it was looking for food.

On the rock formation at the bottom of the mine tunnel, there is a belt of crystals that shines slightly, like the Milky Way in the sky, and those shining crystals are medicinal stones of various grades.

The medicine stone is very strange. It has a faint fragrance when you smell it deeply. You cannot use brute force to mine it, you can only use your internal strength, so the mining speed cannot be fast.

"You are mining medicinal stones here, so pay attention to your safety!"

Gu Zheng patted Gu An on the shoulder, and all the instructions he wanted to say were caught in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Master. I wish Master a great harvest in the depths of Shu Ruins."

After Gu An finished speaking, he scratched his head and smiled before adding: "It should be said that there will be big gains in this mining area!"

"Haha... I'll lend you some good words!"

Gu Zheng laughed and began his journey alone in the Ruins of Shu.

Gu Zheng will try to find the long-tongued beast in the mining area. No matter whether he can find it or not, he will just walk through all the mine tunnels that he has not passed before Gu Zheng will leave his mining area.

The next thing Gu Zheng has to do is to go to the mining areas of Lingjian Sect and Ziyun Palace to see if he can pick up the leaks. Since the woodworm is a treasure, even if he hasn't obtained the elixir to refine it, Gu Zheng wants to

I need to get some first before talking.

The mining area is very large, and there are many forks in it. Fortunately, Guzheng is almost running all the way, so it won't take much time to see it all.

However, Gu Zheng has given hope for finding the long-tongued beast, but it is not to a special point. After all, the long-tongued beast is an earth spirit beast, and its whereabouts can only be described as 'elusive'. Maybe there is no trace in the crossroads we just checked.

, but if you turn around, it might emerge from the ground!

With this thought in his mind, Gu Zheng subconsciously looked back, and this sight made his eyes widen.

He didn't see the long-tongued beast suddenly appearing behind him as he expected, but Gu Zheng did see a very blurry thing flash past where his vision was nearly at its limit!

Gu Zheng's vision is very good, but it is too dark in the mine. Even if there is a lantern for lighting, the visibility may not be comparable to the world outside the cave.

A blurry thing flashed by, and Gu Zheng was not sure whether it was a person or a humanoid spiritual beast. But no matter what he was, Gu Zheng had to go and have a look. He could not let this possibly dangerous existence go.

Stay in the mining area where Gu An is the only one.

Due to the environment, it took Gu Zheng a short time to reach the limit of his previous vision.

This is an intersection in the mine. There are six forked roads in total. Gu Zheng is not sure which mine tunnel the blurry thing he saw just now went into.

But that doesn't mean there is no trace to be found. Gu Zheng smelled a faint smell of blood in the air.

"The smell of human blood!"

Gu Zheng sniffed the smell of blood in the air and immediately made a judgment in his mind.

"The injured person cannot be Gu An, and such a person actually entered the mining area of ​​Emei. Who is he?"

Gu An took out Tang Mo and walked carefully towards a fork in the road.

"In the forked road nine meters ahead, there is a high-level spiritual beast, the Tiger-toothed Monkey."

The forked roads in the mine were like spider webs. Not long after Gu Zheng entered, the voice of the weapon spirit sounded in his mind.

"Why is it a spiritual beast? And it's also a 'tiger-toothed monkey' that lives in the mountains and forests? Could it be that the blurry thing you saw just now? Is the smell of human blood coming from its mouth?"

While he was wondering in his heart, Gu Zheng also arrived at the fork in the road where the Tiger Tooth Monkey was.

"call……"

A huge stone flew out from the fork in the road and hit Gu Zheng directly.

Gu Zheng dodged, and the boulder fell to the ground with a loud noise. But the tiger-toothed monkey in the fork in the road obviously didn't intend to give up. Stones of different sizes were like meteor showers, constantly hitting Gu Zheng from the fork in the road.

"Evil beast!"

Gu Zheng sneered, and while Tang Mo was slashing with his hand, he also advanced towards the fork in the road.

I have to say that the tiger-toothed monkey is very powerful. It can fly rocks like a meteor shower, plus its powerful destructive power. If it is encountered by an ordinary fifth-level early-stage cultivator, let alone advancing towards the fork in the road, it can avoid being hit by the flying rocks.

Injury is already a very rare thing.

But Gu Zheng was different. He was an immortal cultivator equivalent to an early fifth-level cultivator. Whether it was his actual strength or the subtlety of the ethereal body illusion technique, he was able to calmly face flying rocks.

"Zhizhi..."

Seeing that Gu Zheng was approaching, the screaming tiger-toothed monkey gave up its attack with flying rocks and pounced directly towards Gu Zheng.

It is said to be a monkey, but the tiger-toothed monkey actually looks like an ape. He is one head taller than Gu Zheng and is very strong. When it pounced on Gu Zheng, it clenched its fists and was about to punch Gu Zheng to death.

posture.

With the strength of the tiger-toothed monkey, if Gu Zheng were hit by this punch, he would definitely die. But how could Gu Zheng make it happen?

"court death!"

Gu Zheng shouted fiercely, and while using the ethereal body illusion technique to dodge the fist, he also immediately used the Mountain Sword Technique. Tang Mo, with an invincible momentum, slashed at the tiger-toothed monkey's neck.

"squeak……"

The tiger-toothed monkey screamed, and Gu Zheng dodged its fist, which was unexpected. Facing Gu Zheng's knife, it did not dare to attack, so it immediately jumped back to avoid it.

As if Gu Zheng knew the tiger-toothed monkey's avoidance route, Tang Mo, who originally swung out, changed his move midway. When he stopped and moved forward, Tang Mo had already stabbed into the tiger-toothed monkey's chest.

The tiger-toothed monkey originally jumped backwards, so Gu Zheng's knife did not penetrate deeply. However, Gu Zheng changed his moves right after, using his internal energy to attack the tiger-toothed monkey again.

The tiger-toothed monkey jumped back very fast, and the internal energy flew out to pursue it even more quickly. When the tiger-toothed monkey stopped, the internal energy had already struck it in the abdomen.

Blood suddenly flowed out, and the strangely screaming tiger-toothed monkey tried to pounce towards Gu Zheng again. Suddenly, a very ethereal female voice came from the darkness in the distance.

"Huya, come back!"

"Zhizhi..."

Absolutely unwilling, the tiger-toothed monkey raised its fist at Gu Zheng, and this time ran towards the darkness behind it.

Gu Zheng did not pursue, but just followed. He could already tell who the woman in the darkness was from her voice.

A total of four people from Ziyun Palace entered the Shu Ruins this time, three of them were Ling sisters, and there was another Gu Zheng who didn't know her name, but had heard her voice.

Gu Zheng understood that the three Ling sisters had good cultivation, but they were not the leaders of Ziyun Palace's trip to Shu Ruins. The real leader was the one whose name he still didn't know. This kind of thing was usually hidden by the sect.

Characters who are strict and only show up at critical moments are usually very talented.

Not to mention anything else, just having a tiger-toothed monkey is an amazing thing.

The tiger-toothed monkey is huge. It is not a small treasure-hunting mole. It can be put into a bag and brought into Shu Ruins. This can only show that the tiger-toothed monkey was domesticated by this woman after entering Shu Ruins. Today is Shu Ruins.

On the fourth day of operation, she was able to tame an adult tiger-toothed monkey within four days. Her talent in taming animals is truly astonishing!

In fact, the art of taming animals is not exclusive to Ziyun Palace, but is a secret technique that originally existed in Shushan. Just like Luo Xiao can control colorful feathered birds through his voice, this is actually the category of animal taming. It’s just that Ziyun Palace comes from Shushan.

When they were branched out, they took this secret technique with them. Since the ancestors of the other branches did not practice this secret technique themselves, the descendants and descendants of the later generations would naturally not be able to practice it either.

The slightly loose purple clothes could not hide her petite and exquisite figure. Chu Xiaochen, whose left arm was injured, stared closely at Gu Zheng who was approaching.

Through reports from fellow students, Chu Xiaochen knew something about the ancient dispute.

Chu Xiaochen is an elder-level existence in Ziyun Palace. She has a relatively cold nature and is weak in worldliness.

Unlike Elder Xiaofeng and the others, Chu Xiaochen was disdainful and disgusted with Gu Zheng! There was no other reason than that Gu Zheng stole the show at this ranking event, but the number of places to enter the Shu Ruins was actually the same as that of Gu Zheng.

They are the same as Ziyun Palace.

"What's your name? Why are you in our Emei Sect's mining area?"

Chu Xiaochen didn't know what Gu Zheng was thinking, but from the look in her eyes and what happened just now, Gu Zheng understood that this woman was not a kind person.

"Chu Xiaochen. When I come to your Emei mining area, I naturally have something to do. Don't worry, I won't take anything from your medicinal stones! If you stay here for a while, I will reward you."

Chu Xiaochen's voice was ethereal and cold, and he threw three high-level elixirs to Gu Zheng. Gu Zheng did not pick them up and let them fall to the ground.

Gu Zheng originally asked patiently for the sake of elder Xiaofeng and the three sisters Ling Xue, but when he saw the high-level elixirs thrown out, there were three of them, no more and no less, the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared.

Jumped up.

"What do you mean?" Gu Zheng's face darkened.

"It's not interesting. Isn't the meeting gift you gave Ling Xue and others just three elixirs? If you think it's too little, I can give you another three or six high-level elixirs, just to stay in your Emei mining area for a while.

Time, the reward is not low, right?"

Chu Xiaochen took out three more elixirs and threw them away. Gu Zheng not only did not pick them up, but instead sneered.

After laughing enough, Gu Zheng pointed in the direction of the cave entrance, word by word.

"Put away your elixir and leave the mining area of ​​Emei now, immediately!"

Chu Xiaochen was stunned, as if she did not expect that Gu Zheng would react so fiercely. Her eyes widened, and she spoke after a moment.

"Who are you yelling at?"

Chu Xiaochen was also angry. After all, she was also an elder of Ziyun Palace.

"Can't you get out?"

Gu Zheng didn't want to talk nonsense to people like Chu Xiaochen, and murderous intent appeared in his cold eyes.
