Chapter 136: Light up the map
In the following time, Gu Xu first used the "Star Array" to summon several stars such as the Sun Star, the Broken Army Star, the Sheep Blade Star, and the Dhara Star, making them bombard Wen Wei continuously like cannonballs.
Wen Yu howled, while controlling the wind in the wilderness, he showed his fangs and fluttered flexibly, launching round after round of attacks towards Gu Xu.
But Gu Xu relied on the "Wind Talisman" and flexible body technique to constantly pull away and remain safe and sound under the fierce attack of this demon beast.
At this moment, Wen Wei has been beaten by Gu Xu to the point that his skin is open and his whole body is scorched, and he makes a stinging sound from time to time, which makes people can't help but think of the roast suckling pig on the barbecue grill.
But it is still tenaciously alive and undiminished.
Gu Xu even used the Shocking Pen to release the "East Wind Night Blooming Thousand Trees", and concentrated Zhenyuan to cast a powerful blow, but he still failed to successfully kill this "wild boar" - it was as if it was locked in blood, and it was fatally injured, but it just couldn't be killed.
"Maybe this is also part of the rules of the 'Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm'," Gu Xu thought to himself silently, "I can't rely on brute force to kill it, I have to use some special method." ”
Although the "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" have the ability to break the rules, the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" is a small world of the Great Qi royal family after all, and it continues to operate with the support of the famous weapon "Tai'a Sword".
Chiyangzi was only an Eighth Realm cultivator before his death, and Gu Xu's current cultivation was also relatively low, so it was impossible to completely ignore the rules in the secret realm.
He still needs to figure out the rules and act according to them.
Just as Gu Xu was dodging and thinking about the problem, Wen Wei, who was burned black, suddenly jumped up with his hooves and jumped onto the rock beside Liu Daxi and Zhang Yonggui.
Zhang and Liu were taken aback.
They no longer care about continuing to hide themselves, but are rolling and crawling in the wind, just wanting to get away from this terrible "wild boar" and from this dangerous battle.
Due to panic, the short sword in Zhang Yonggui's hand accidentally fell to the ground.
He tried to reach for the sword, but saw that the sword was blown up by the strong wind, and along with the surrounding sand and gravel, it flew several feet high, and then circled and smashed on the body of "Wen Wei".
Zhang Yonggui's short sword is just an inferior magic weapon.
Wen Wei was able to withstand the terrifying lethality of the "Star Array" and the "Burning Sky Seven Styles" - it stands to reason that this short sword could not pose any threat to it at all.
However, unexpectedly, the moment the dagger touched it, Wen Wei suddenly let out a terrible wail, and then staggered to the ground, turning into a mess of black ashes.
The winds in the wilderness also stopped suddenly.
Gu Xu stood in place and was stunned for a second, a little unable to believe his eyes-
The demon beast that he couldn't kill with all kinds of powerful means was killed after being knocked by an ordinary low-grade short sword!
This simply doesn't make sense!
But he quickly calmed down.
After all, he knew that the rules in the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" were special, and many things could not be explained by common sense.
For the strange scene in front of him, two explanations popped up in his mind -
First, only purely physical attacks can kill the monsters in the secret realm. True element and spell damage can only inflict heavy damage on them, but they can't really endanger their lives.
Second, the monks could not single-handedly kill the demon beasts in the secret realm. Only at least two monks can strike together to completely kill the demon beast.
Gu Xu was more inclined to the second explanation in his heart.
Because the first is not fair to monks who specialize in spells and sigils. The "Luoshui Conference" was a high-profile and highest-level event of the Great Qi Dynasty, and the imperial court should not adopt potentially controversial rules on such a major occasion.
And if it is the second type, it means that the monks who are competitors to each other must choose to cooperate in order to deal with the demons and monsters in the secret realm.
However, this is only speculation in Gu Xu's mind at the moment.
Exactly which one it was would need to be tested experimentally – which meant he had to find a few "guinea pigs".
Gu Xu pondered for a moment in place, and then walked straight towards Zhang Yonggui and Liu Daxi.
Zhang and Liu had just gotten up from the ground and picked up their weapons.
After witnessing the fierce battle just now, they already had a clear understanding of Gu Xu's strength. Seeing Gu Xu coming at this time, they were all pale with fright, for fear that this pride of the sky would take action against them.
Whether it is the dreamlike "Firefly" or the majestic "Star Array", they can easily kill ten of them in the blink of an eye, burning them to ashes in an instant.
"Don't ...... Stay back! Zhang Yonggui pinched the jade talisman, raised his hands high, and said tremblingly, "Don't hit us, we surrender!" Let's get out! ”
Seeing the trembling appearance of the two, Gu Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "I won't do anything to you." I'm here to work with you. ”
"Cooperation?" Zhang and Liu's eyes widened, feeling incredible.
They really couldn't imagine what the value of cooperation was in front of a powerful figure like Gu Xu, who was able to kill the son of the Shen family in seconds and single-handedly fight the fierce beast.
"Yes, cooperation," Gu Xu said in a sincere tone, "In this small world full of unknowns, one person's strength is too weak. I'm going to do something next and need some help from my peers.
"I think you're a good candidate."
We? A good candidate?
What does this big guy like about us?
Did you hide far enough when the crisis came, or did you raise your hands and surrender quickly enough?
Zhang Yonggui and Liu Daxi turned their heads to look at each other, feeling incredulous.
"What do you need us to do?"
"A little thing. I'll tell you when I meet the next monster. ”
Hearing this, Zhang and Liu were still a little confused, but they were afraid that they would annoy Gu Xu because they were too verbose, so they didn't dare to continue to ask questions.
"By the way, dare to ask the names of the two Taoist friends? Where did it come from? After a short silence, Gu Xu asked the two of them again.
Zhang and Liu immediately bowed their heads slightly, reported their names, hometowns and teachers, and did not dare to delay for a moment.
They originally thought that Gu Xu should have never heard of a remote and unknown small sect like "Zhaoyang Mountain".
Unexpectedly, Gu Xu smiled slightly, and responded: "Zhaoyang Mountain, I heard that your ancestor Long Tingyu is a genius in the sky - without the master's teaching, he actually practiced the mountain for several years, and created the medium-grade swordsmanship "Zhaoyang Sword", which can be said to be a powerful means for melee monks to deal with ghosts and yin things.
"It's really my luck to meet the heir of the Dragon Master here today."
Liu Daxi immediately said modestly: "The two of us are too stupid, and now we have only learned the skin of "Zhaoyang Sword", and we dare not claim to be the descendants of the ancestors. ”
At the same time, he had a little admiration for Gu Xu in his heart - in addition to "fighting well", he labeled Gu Xu as "erudite and well-informed".
"I don't know your name?" After a while, Liu Daxi also asked cautiously.
"Gu Xu in Xiayishui, now working in the Luojing Exorcism Division." Gu Xu responded.
Zhang and Liu immediately clasped their fists and bowed: "The grass people have seen Master Gu. ”
Although they had been in retreat for a long time and did not know about Gu Xu's legendary deeds, they had also heard Gu Xu's name from the discussions of others, and knew that he was an important official of the headquarters of the Exorcism Division, and they did not dare to slack off in their attitude towards him.
It's just that when they see Gu Xu's excessively young face, they still can't help but sigh in their hearts, the current young people are really not simple, they hold important positions in the imperial court at a young age - how can they be like themselves, they have passed the age of establishment, but they are still wastes who have achieved nothing.
"You don't have to be polite," Gu Xu said with a kind smile, "Since we competed on the same stage at the 'Luoshui Conference', and now we are walking together, we can call each other 'Daoyou', and we don't need to call each other 'adults'." ”
How dare Zhang Yonggui and Liu Daxi do it?
Still bowing his head, he responded: "Yes, Master Gu." ”
Gu Xu didn't bother to take any more time to correct it.
His eyes were fixed on the black ash that Wen Wei had left on the rock after he was burned to death.
With his keen sense of observation, he sensed that something unusual seemed to be hidden in the black ashes.
So he walked straight to that side, reached out his hand, and picked up a yellowed scrap of paper from the ashes.
There were some small words and graphics on the scraps of paper, but they were so badly damaged that they couldn't read the contents at all.
Gu Xu frowned slightly.
His intuition told him that the piece of paper might contain a clue to the "Silver Wine Tree".
It's just that he simply can't read any valid information from it.
However, just as he was contemplating and thinking, a milky white halo suddenly appeared on the shredded paper and the jade talisman he was holding at the same time.
Then, the shredded paper broke free from his palm, flew up, and then merged into the jade talisman and disappeared completely.
At this moment, a huge picture appeared in Gu Xu's mind-
At first, it was gray, like chaos had not opened, and it seemed like it was covered with a thick fog.
Suddenly, a small area in the corner suddenly lit up—as if the fog had lifted, revealing what was hidden underneath.
It was a small and detailed map, marked with mountains, flatlands, caves, rivers, etc., and even the location of the monster's lair.
It's just that the area it shows is very narrow, about a few miles away.
Next to it, there is a large character that seems to have nothing to do with the map, "Xun".
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the map of the 'Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm'," Gu Xu thought to himself, "But I've only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg so far, and more of it is still hidden in the fog."
"If you want to get a glimpse of it, you'll need to kill more monsters to get more scraps of paper and light up more areas of it."
Thinking of this, Gu Xu's heart moved, and the map disappeared from his field of vision.
Then he turned to Zhang Yonggui and Liu Daxi and said, "Let's go!" Let's go to Wenxi's lair first and see how many companions it has. ”
Zhang and Liu sighed in their hearts: They are worthy of being the adults of the Exorcism Division, and they actually took the initiative to find trouble with the demon beasts.
