Gu Rong is an introverted personality, a person of few words, before meeting Xiaobei, he has never interacted with people from the outside world, and his own kind is lonely because he is the only one, and he is often bullied by other divine beasts and demon cultivators who are prosperous in his race, in addition to trying to improve his cultivation so as not to be bullied by others again, it can be said that he has come to this point completely affected by the environment, but his natural character makes him have the characteristics of a gentleman who is unique to bamboo and perseverance, which will never change.

Gu Rong's ordinary life was changed by the arrival of Xiaobei, and he was full of gratitude to Xiaobei. At this moment, he knew in his heart that judging from the current situation, it was difficult for everyone to find a way to deal with Xuanwu's restraint, and if he always hid like this, sooner or later he would have to pay for his life here. Maybe this is his only fate, he is destined to return to his origin, he has come to this world to walk once, he has too much curiosity and hope, but when everything has not had time to happen, I am afraid it will disappear like a flash in the pan.

"Xiaobei, it's good to know you, even if we have only been together for a short time, but it is worth it to be brothers with you! If we are destined to be born in the next life, we will still be brothers! After listening to everyone's words, Gu Rong, who had never said a word, said loudly.

"Bamboo, what are you talking about? We are brothers in this life, and there will be more time in the future! Why do we say afterlife? Xiao Bei, who had been busy evading and communicating with fellow initiates just now, didn't pay any attention to the strangeness of his best brother, Gu Rong, until he heard Gu Rong's strange words just now, and he noticed a trace of solemnity on his face at this moment, and this kind of expression was indeed something he had never seen before.

"Sister Bai, Yu'er, it is also my Gu Rong's honor to meet you, I was lonely and helpless before, until I met all of you, I felt warm, thank you! Auntie, Lao Hei, and Last, we were a little unhappy before, but after fighting together for so long, my Gu Rong has already regarded you as the best fighting partner in my heart, please forgive me for my mistakes before! Before Xiaobei could continue to ask something, Gu Rong had already said as if he was making a final farewell.

"The roots of the earth, scatter!" After a loud drink, Gu Rong once again looked carefully at the people in front of him, and deliberately looked at Xiaobei for a while, and finally showed a sad smile, that smile on his green face, it seemed a little stiff and poignant, as if it was squeezed out hard, and it was full of sincerity, making it difficult for people to suspect that he had any motives that were unfavorable to everyone, and all this made everyone even more puzzled, especially Xiaobei, who was closest to him, couldn't help but show a worried look on his face.

"Gu Rong, what are you doing, there are great energy fluctuations in your body, and this power doesn't seem to be something that your cultivation can send out at this time, stop it! Otherwise, it will cause self-destruction! Xiu Li carefully paid attention to the spiritual fluctuations in Xia Gu Rong's body, and only then did he realize that there was something strange about him, and a sense of danger hit his heart.

"Gu Rong, what are you going to do? You're my brother, I don't allow you to do stupid things, we still have a way to deal with that big guy! Xiao Bei hurriedly wanted to take the direction of Gu Rong, but he stretched out his hand to stop him, since the day he met Xiao Bei, he seemed to have been bullied by Xiao Bei, and obeyed his life, never objected to his opinion, this seems to be the first time he stopped Xiao Bei's movements, which can't help but make Xiao Bei have a bad premonition again.

"I've decided, instead of letting everyone can't get out, it's better to sacrifice a humble me in exchange for the hope of so many of you, it's worth it, haha! Don't forget my bamboo! Gu Rong let out a resolute laugh that seemed to see through everything.

A trace of resolute light appeared in Gu Rong's eyes, and the man who had always been honest seemed to have made some major decision with difficulty, only to see that his slender fingers of the flute moved slightly, and the green light erupted from the surface of his body, and the deep chant in his mouth was like a Sanskrit sound from the Nine Shadows region, which made people feel afraid when they heard it. For Gu Rong, everything in heaven and earth seemed to stand still.

Perhaps it is just that in this pause of life and death, all kinds of past events are vividly remembered, as if all the past has appeared in front of Gu Rong, as if it happened yesterday, and as if it happened for thousands of years. When it first gave birth to its spiritual intelligence, it was already silently growing in the bamboo forest like the rest of the bamboos beside it. It didn't know how long it had lived, whether it was hundreds or thousands of years, but none of this meant anything to it at the moment.

The ancient banyan that has begun to take shape is just a bamboo that cannot move, let alone speak. Seeing many of the same kind around him germinating, flourishing, withering, and withering in front of him, experiencing life and death again and again, while he has been thriving and growing straight, countless weak spirit beasts shuttle and come and go in front of him, and gradually he seems to be able to understand their conversations, and he understands more and more, and everything is happening imperceptibly and quietly.

He didn't know why he was so different, why God favored him so much, allowing other fellow beings to go through the cycle of life and death, while he could be spared. I don't know how many years passed, but he found out that there was a small spiritual vein on the land where he grew up, and it was the urging of this spiritual vein that dragged him away from life and death, had the initial spiritual sense, and quickly opened a trace of spiritual wisdom.

After an incomparably long time, after sending away batches of bamboo forests for life and death, he was lucky to turn into a human! Although he was often bullied by others because he was a weak existence in the Spirit Beast Forest, he was happy in his heart, because he was now a person who could walk freely, and he was no longer a tribulation bamboo that needed to rely on the cultivation of the land to survive.

Later, he met his only friend in his life, Xiao Bei, his arrival brought a lot to himself, which made him very clear, it can be said that Xiao Bei is the only relative in his life, so he can't look at the person he cares about the most in the slightest danger, even if he will lose all his cultivation for this, the god form must be destroyed to protect Xiao Bei and others.

When it was time to finish, Gu Rong burst out with a strong green brilliance at this moment, and his entire body was submerged in the green light in a few flashes. A thin filament of green light rushed towards Xuanwu's direction with lightning speed, and as the green light spread all over Xuanwu's body, the faint spiritual power swept towards Xuanwu's body at an astonishing speed, and soon its entire body was covered with a layer of faint and beautiful green light.

Such a peculiar existence as the ancient banyan has a certain adaptability, and can survive anywhere, including the seemingly hard and abnormal carapace surface of the Xuanwu, only to see a small tender green bamboo, born out of thin air on the surface of the Xuanwu body, the yellow-green Xuanwu is immediately covered by a layer of pale green green bamboo, which looks very funny. The bamboo grows tall and tall at a rate visible to the naked eye, and countless lovely green bamboo leaves grow on it.

All the bamboo and even the bamboo leaves are full of vitality, the pieces of bamboo leaves are attached to the main trunk of the bamboo, soft and solid are intertwined, at this moment all the spiritual energy is exposed on the body of Gu Rong, but who knows how the next moment will be destroyed and sharpened by wind and rain? Maybe the branch will break, the rod will fall, can we make time stand still at this moment? Cessation is eternity, and if there is such a quiet and beautiful moment in eternity, all kinds of disasters that may be encountered in the future have been comforted and rewarded.

In Xuanwu's face full of shock, all parts of his body have been covered by thousands of bamboo forests, it can hardly believe that its rock-solid body has given birth to a bamboo forest for no reason, although it is not yet known what the other party's intentions are, but it still has an ominous premonition, but it is difficult to get rid of those strange bamboo forests that are spreading rapidly. The bamboo is very lush, and most of it is concentrated near the weak parts of Xuanwu's neck and limbs, and it looks like a layer of green hair has grown.

With the melodious flute sounding, the bamboo forest emitted a burst of "Xi Xi Suosuo" sound to complement it, at first it was a soft, beautiful flute sound, as if in a beautiful dream, I couldn't help but feel obsessed and intoxicated. It was as if flowers were blooming all over my heart in an instant, which made people excited. It's as if the whole world is listening, and you can't help but be hooked.

The softness was immediately replaced by a loud, agitated flute that rippled throughout the area and slowly disappeared into the sky. It is simply a bird full of spirit, a singing bird. Sometimes it is like crying in the deep valley of infinite tranquility; Sometimes it seems to be noisy in the depths of the forest in spring; Sometimes it becomes the chirping of a flock of birds...... In the midst of the intoxication, including Xuanwu, everything has changed.

I only heard the sound of the flute abruptly stopped, and as the first dazzling essence burst out in front of my eyes, "Boom... Boom..." Several loud noises resounded in the sky, but countless bamboos that had just been green and tall began to burst open, and it seemed that the same situation was also happening in the rest of the entire bamboo forest, and the bamboo forest immediately burned with bright green flames, quickly spreading towards the surface of the Xuanwu body.

"It's... Soul burning! Xiuli exclaimed.

"What is a soul burn?" Xiaobei asked anxiously.

"Demon cultivators such as Gu Rong are all gifted with magical powers, and the flute sound he uses is one of them, and he uses this sound to burn the soul power, which is a decisive blow that ends with the enemy." Xiu Li's face was full of regret, and at this moment, he also felt sorry for Gu Rong's choice.

But Xiaobei became silent and stopped talking, just anxiously looking at the green fire on Xuanwu's body. His mind was in turmoil, he wanted to do something, but he didn't know what else he could do.
