Chapter 77 [076] Being followed?
"Unfortunately, the Storage Leaf can only hold dead objects."
Gu Zheng sighed and dug out the entire ant nest with his knife.
I found a few broad leaves, weaved them into a frame, and placed the ant nest inside and on the handle.
Continue along the side of the mountain and go deeper.
Along the way, miasma, poisonous gas, and dead gas can be seen from time to time.
The demon was not touched.
Generally speaking, this area integrated into the site tends to be wetlands and tidal flats.
Demons are mainly aquatic, hiding either in the mud or in the water.
Mud ground is difficult to walk on, and water is not easy to step on.
As a result, I encountered very few demons on the road.
Gu Zheng was not in a hurry.
Entering the field and looking for rare objects, magic gold, and source fruits is the key.
Killing demons is just a side trip.
If you can hit an equippable item, that's even better.
Walking in the open wilderness, there is not a soul in sight, but the chirping of insects and birds is endless.
In the distant sky, a large bird with a wingspan of four or five meters spread out. It was caught by the strong wind and flew to the ground. It quickly grabbed its prey from the mud or water and raised it high.
Gu Zheng was walking on the gravel ground. Suddenly, he turned around and looked behind him.
"No?"
Concentrated, taking photos to the extreme, no tracking target was found.
Ever since he discovered the spirit-eating ants, Gu Zheng had noticed a mysterious presence behind him and kept following him.
But he couldn't find it or see it.
Buzz~!
Unlocking 100% of the bronze elephant body, with the blessing of spiritual power, the huge power of perception can sweep hundreds of feet around the body.
Still found nothing.
No, to be precise, the mysterious entity following him was not discovered.
There are still a lot of little monsters underground and in corners.
It's just that these little monsters can only provide limited shed blood, so they all ran away before Gu Zheng could get closer.
Demons are cruel and bloodthirsty, but they are also fearful.
Gu Zheng's life breath is now at the peak of the alien body, and demons of too low a level dare not approach him, let alone attack him.
"The body is invisible, and the breath is also invisible? The body is still very small?"
Turning around, Gu Zheng carried the spirit-eating ant nest and continued walking.
The mysterious existence that had been following him showed no trace of malice even though it followed him all the way.
This is why Gu Zheng, despite being curious, didn't panic too much and jumped into the air to escape.
And this following lasted for two days.
In two days, Gu Zheng harvested six more source fruits.
Magic gold and strange objects were not found.
The demons killed more than a dozen of them, and the soul-catcher gained 21 demon points.
If the number is too small, there will naturally be no demonic skills.
The mysterious existence that follows you will disappear occasionally, and then continue to follow you.
Gu Zheng has almost adapted to the other person's presence.
The field covers a large area and has regular formations, but it has never been discovered.
Yuan Qianjun, Qing Yixiao and the others never met again.
Brother and sister Hai Qingshu also never met again.
I saw other people a few times.
Especially the four men and one woman who were wearing black robes to hide their appearance. Gu Zheng met them three times in two days.
"boom!"
A loud noise came from several hundred meters away from the right front.
Gu Zheng, who was walking on the mountain road, immediately tiptoed, jumped into the air, and jumped to the top of the mountain.
Standing on the hill, looking at the direction from which the sound came.
On the bank of a curved river more than three meters wide, four figures moved quickly and collided constantly.
Two of the figures were wrapped in gray light, the other was purple, and the other was silver-white. The strength of the four people is all at the level of alien and shadow.
He let go of the attack without restraint, and the shock wave burst out, sweeping across the muddy ground on the river bank, splashing mud all over the sky.
The flowing river water is also stirred by the strong energy from time to time, and is rolled up into the air, falling like a drizzle.
"Xiao Dutian? Dugu Feixue?"
Gu Zhengjian's eyebrows slightly raised.
Among the four people, the one wrapped in purple electric light was Xiao Dutian, and the one wrapped in silver-white light was Dugu Feixue.
Gu Zheng had even met the other two. When he was searching for magic gold in the valley two days ago, these two people passed by and mocked Gu Zheng for being a fool.
These four people, Xiao Dutian and Dugu Feixue, were obviously in a group, but the other two joined forces to attack, which was quite subtle, as if they had a clear understanding of each other.
"Huh? Are they there too?"
While observing, Gu Zheng discovered that the four men and women in black robes were not far away, looking at the battle between Xiao Dutian, Dugu Feixue, and the other two.
When Gu Zheng looked over, the four people on the other side seemed to be aware of it, and they also looked over. When they saw it was Gu Zheng, the four of them were startled at first, and then they gathered together and murmured a few words.
The next moment, the four of them flew towards Gu Zheng.
Swish~swish~
With his feet not touching the ground, he used his physical skills to imitate his real skills and flew to the other side of the hill, stopping ten steps away from Gu Zheng.
The four of them clasped their fists and saluted Gu Zheng.
"?"
"Mr. Gu Qi." The old man's voice sounded, and the four of them lowered their hoods and revealed their faces. The eldest among them, the wrinkled old man, faced Gu Zheng and saluted, "I, Zheng Xiting, am not from aristocratic family. I don’t serve in the imperial court, but I have always admired Mr. Gu after hearing about his character. Today, you and I meet again. I feel that we are destined for each other. For this reason, I want to make friends with Mr. Gu. I wonder if Mr. Gu is willing? "
"I'm congratulating you."
"I'll be lucky to you, Yang."
"Jin Yanzi." Among the four, the only female, Jin Yanzi, who has a gentle face and is about thirty years old, said with a gentle smile, "Mr. Gu must have a lot of questions now, and he wants to ask them, but it's very difficult. Sorry, our identity cannot be disclosed at the moment.”
"Wanting to make friends with Mr. Gu is not a temporary idea, but has always been there. However, there is a lack of opportunities to make contact, so I am telling you frankly today to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
"I also hope that Mr. Gu will be mentally prepared."
"..." Gu Zheng had a calm look on his face, and his eyes swept over the faces of the four people one by one. He suddenly pointed at Xiao Dutian and Dugu Feixue and asked, "What are they fighting about?"
"ah?"
Jin Yanzi was stunned.
He Xuan and Yang Shouyun were also stunned.
Zheng Xiting reacted quickly. He smiled bitterly and said, "They fought over a rare object."
"What kind of strange thing?" Gu Zheng asked.
Just ignore what the four people just said.
Make friends without revealing your identity?
Let him prepare mentally first.
Is there such a way to make friends?
It was so mysterious that Gu Zheng didn’t care about it.
"...It's a wooden fish."
Zheng Xiting adjusted his breath and replied, "Literally, a fish in a wooden state, as big as a palm. It can swim in the water and at low altitudes. The specific ability is currently unknown."
"Is that the fish you're talking about?"
Gu Zheng pointed to a treetop less than ten meters to the right behind the four of them. A green-brown, palm-sized wooden fish that resembled a carp was lying among the leaves, blowing transparent bubbles.
Um? ?
Zheng Xiting, Jin Yanzi, He Xuan, and Yang Shooyun, upon hearing this, turned their heads in unison and looked over.
"That's it!"
Zheng Xiting was shocked, "But wasn't this wooden fish snatched away from Dugu Feixue by Mo Jiaxin and hidden in the spiritual bag? Why is it here?"
"I also want to... huh?" Gu Zheng was about to raise his eyebrows.
Uh-huh!
An afterimage flashed past.
The wooden fish on the treetop was caught by a small figure and held under its claws.
Whoosh~
The afterimage flashed again.
The small figure grabbed the wooden fish and came to Gu Zheng.
One paw pointed at the spirit-eating ant nest in Gu Zheng's hand, and the other paw held the wooden fish in place and pushed it towards Gu Zheng.
A message was conveyed in the smart blue eyes.
Should I change it or not?
