Chapter 1147 Annoying Flies
There are two roads to the northern cliff, one straight and one curved.
The natural distance is the shortest in a straight line. It can be reached in one hour with the current foot strength, but there will be three forbidden areas along the way.
The curve is along the periphery of the map, from the starting point of the valley mouth, all the way north.
There is only one forbidden area along the way, but it takes at least an extra hour.
In other words, no matter what they choose, based on the best case scenario, it will take at least two hours for the two of them to reach the northern cliff.
If you really have to leave at this time, it will be too long, and even if it comes, everything will be over.
Fortunately, the person facing this situation is Hou Guisheng.
Chang Sheng had mentioned before that Hou Guisheng was the store manager ten years ago, and his qualifications were unprecedented.
This also means that his reserve of sinful items has reached an astonishing amount.
The third branch ten years ago was already at its peak, especially as the head of the first store, especially since he was the only one to survive in that four-star promotion mission.
Even if each of the store clerks in the same team only had one sinful item in his hand, that was still an exaggerated number, not to mention that he himself had a very rich amount of sinful items.
A large quantity means a complete range.
After determining the destination, Hou Guisheng fumbled around in his backpack for a while and pulled out a tape measure.
This tape measure looks inconspicuous, just like the tool ruler used in civil work, and even has some rust on it.
But when he pinched one end of the soft ruler at his own point on the map, he pointed the other end at the northern cliff in a straight line.
Hou Guisheng blinked his eyes painfully, and his whole person became pixelated and blurred, disappearing in place after just one second.
The map fell into the palm of Chang Sheng's hand, and at the same time, he firmly caught the tape measure. He played with it for a while and then put it in his arms and smiled:
"Transmitting sinful objects is a good thing."
After finishing speaking, he looked up at the road ahead and walked into the fog without any hesitation.
……
Northern cliff.
Hou Guisheng's body was a little stooped after he teleported here, but he still scanned the surrounding area immediately to be alert.
Maybe this is the border of the screen and the raised cliff, so the wind is very strong and the moon is very close.
This is a wind outlet, and the violent cold wind can even blow away the fog, making the view here particularly wide.
But standing on the cliff, looking straight up, you can only see a faint darkness. Except for the dark sky, the rest seems to be a dead silence of nothingness.
Hou Guisheng was alone on the cliff and seemed safe.
After a simple warning, Hou Guisheng took a few steps back and looked behind him carefully.
About ten meters away from the back of this raised cliff, there is an earth-yellow world, and the fog ends here.
The northern cliff is like an abandoned place in the screen world. There is no forbidden area and no fog. It is a bug in this world.
After Hou Guisheng waited for half a minute, he sat cross-legged and took a short rest.
The measuring tape is one of his many sinful objects. Its function is also simple, that is, it can be teleported according to the map.
Space-related items have always been rare, and the most famous one among the top ten stores is Lu Caiwei’s compass watch.
The tape measure is naturally not as good as the compass, but it is valuable enough.
Hou Guisheng needs a period of time to relieve the price of sin. His abdominal pain will last for about ten minutes. During this period, every step he takes will make the pain worse until he dies of pain.
Fortunately, the northern cliffs seemed less dangerous than he expected, at least not yet.
The physical pain did not affect Hou Guisheng's thinking. While resisting the pain, he focused most of his thoughts on the next action.
The goal of this trip is to fight Gu Xingjian as hard as possible. The harder the fight, the better.
Now on the cliff where the wind is cold and the moon is cold, Hou Guisheng is the only one sitting there in pain. In fact, this is a statement.
He was not afraid of Gu Xingjian's attack, nor was he afraid of Gu Xingjian's schemes. What he was most afraid of was that he would not be able to find Gu Xingjian.
The current appearance is not a pretense, but it is Hou Guisheng's deliberate attempt to scare the snake. He will use all possible means to induce Gu Xingjian to take action.
After calculation, Gu Xingjian was not interested in puzzles, so he would not go into meaningless forbidden areas. The five places in the Red Forbidden are also taken up, and he will only appear on the northern cliff.
Hou Guisheng's appearance in such an extreme form actually made his position clear, so Gu Xingjian would either hide or fight.
But he estimated that Gu Xingjian would choose to hide.
Therefore, Hou Guisheng will not be in danger during these ten minutes of waiting for the price to end.
On the one hand, he can deal with the tape measure cost, and on the other hand, he can continue to delay.
Before he came to the northern cliff, his plan had been made and he would go there in two steps.
After Hou Guisheng arrived alone, he used all means to find Gu Xingjian and force him to take action.
The reason why Chang Sheng didn't teleport here was because he was going to take the "straight route", and he needed to go through the three forbidden areas along the way.
It wasn't until Chang Sheng got the most powerful ghost card within his ability that he returned to the frontal battlefield to compete with Gu Xingjian.
Since there is no forbidden area on the northern cliff, bring a forbidden area here.
Compared with human interference, ghost pressure is the best way to fight.
In short, Hou Guisheng’s strategy has only one sentence——
"I know I can't kill you, but I will do anything to disgust you."
Similarly, Hou Guisheng also had this confidence, and it would be difficult for Gu Xingjian to truly kill him.
……
Northern cliff.
A place that Hou Guisheng could never imagine.
Huang Banxian stood on a piece of sand and paced back and forth. There was no wind here, but his robe was swaying slightly, which was his own trembling.
He slowly raised his hand and looked at the gradually disappearing palm lines on it. The trembling palms indicated that he was not afraid, but the backlash of the price of sin.
If you look closely, Huang Banxian's face is a bit thinner than when he first entered the mission.
The tortoise shell was used for divination, but it was sucking his blood and killing him.
Every time he uses it, his fate will become worse and worse. He knows that if he uses it a few more times, he will die soon.
Slowly, Huang Banxian aimed his gaze at the person behind him.
Gu Xingjian's attire at this time was very different from when she first entered the mission.
The white sportswear he was used to wearing was gone, and at some point he put on a long black robe draped around him, making his whole person look even more mysterious and profound.
If Tongguan saw this scene, he would probably be shocked.
Because Gu Xingjian's outfit at this moment was very similar to the Ji Li he had seen in his childhood!
Huang Banxian let out a long sigh, with anger, fear and fear in his eyes. He couldn't help but said:
"Store manager, how long will this game take? Can we really hold on until then?
Li Guanqi is changing, Ji Li is about to succeed, and Hou Guisheng is here now.
What's more, Xu Nan..."
Speaking of this, Huang Banxian pointed at a man lying at Gu Xingjian's feet like a dead dog.
Xu Nan, deputy store manager of the first branch.
He used to be sunny and cheerful, with outstanding strength, and should have had a wonderful life.
But all this, with the death of Xu Cha, will never go back to the past.
Xu Nan gave up everything and risked his life to fight Gu Xingjian to the end, and he still does today.
But there seemed to be an insurmountable gap between him and Gu. Even if he had to trade his life for his life, he couldn't do it.
Now Xu Nan could only lie motionless on the ground, letting Gu Xingjian's black robe cover his head.
If you look carefully, you will find that Xu Nan is not dead yet. The black robe covering his head blocks his resentful and unwilling eyes.
Gu Xingjian, whose face was mostly covered by a black robe, slowly raised his head, and Hou Guisheng's figure was reflected in his rippled eyes.
"Annoying flies..."
