Maybe one day in the future, this evil Big Black Dog will appear in front of them again and bring them endless trouble. Therefore, he must always be alert and ready for any eventuality.
When Gu Sheng returned to everyone, they gathered around to ask about the situation. Gu Sheng told them in detail about the battle with Big Black Dog just now, and reminded them to take precautions in case Big Black Dog attacks again.
After hearing this, everyone nodded to express their understanding and began to discuss the next action plan.
Gu Sheng returned to the team and told everyone the news of Big Black Dog's escape. For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn.
"That Big Black Dog is no small matter. We must find it as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless trouble." Gu Sheng said in a deep voice.
"But the ice sheet is vast, how should we search for it?" someone asked.
Gu Sheng frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "That Big Black Dog was seriously injured. It will definitely find a hidden place to heal. We can follow the direction in which it escaped, and maybe we can find its traces."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, expressing their agreement with Gu Sheng's proposal. So, a group of people packed up their belongings and chased Big Black Dog in the direction in which he escaped.
Above the ice field, the wind is biting and snowflakes are flying.
The cold wind cuts through the face like a knife, and the snowflakes fly like goose feathers. Gu Sheng Standing in the wind and snow, with firm eyes, he decided to find his own opportunity in this desolate land.
"Jade Pool Saintess summoned, Su Yao and the others have returned to the Holy Land. Although I, Gu Sheng, am an unofficial disciple of Yaochi, I am free, so why should I be afraid of the wind and snow!" He thought to himself, turning around and walking towards a stone gambling place called "Cold Stone Workshop".
Inside Cold Stone Workshop, there was a buzz of people, and people of all colors gathered together. Gu Sheng walked into the workshop and felt a warm atmosphere. He looked around and found that the rules of stone gambling here were simple and crude - whoever could cut out something more valuable was the winner.
"Brother, do you dare to give it a try?" A young man from an aristocratic family wearing brocade clothes looked at Gu Sheng provocatively.
Gu Sheng smiled calmly, "Why don't you dare?"
He walked to the stone gambling table and selected a seemingly ordinary rough stone. In the eyes of everyone's doubts, he waved Jade Maiden Sword gently, and the stone skin fell down, revealing a shining spiritual stone!
"Wow!" A burst of exclamation broke out from the crowd.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly and pocketed the spirit stone, "I accepted it."
Young Master Jinyi's face was ashen, but he could only shake his head helplessly. Gu Sheng relied on Great Moon Eye Technique to win several gambling games in succession, attracting everyone's attention. His reputation spread quickly within Cold Stone Workshop, and he was known as the "Golden God of Gambling."
Winning too much always leads to trouble. Some young men from aristocratic families who had lost all their money and bandits began to collude secretly, preparing to attack Gu Sheng.
"Boy, you've won too much, it's time to spit it out!" A gangster with a sinister face said viciously.
Gu Sheng glanced at him and sneered, "You want something from me? Then it depends on whether you have the ability."
A war is inevitable. Gu Sheng urged Primordial Saint Body, and golden light flowed all over his body, as if he was covered with a layer of golden armor.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
He held Jade Maiden Sword and started a fierce battle with the enemy. Every time he swung his sword, it brought out a golden sword light, frightening the enemies.
"Gale Nine Swords!" Gu Sheng shouted, his sword skills were like wind and lightning, and he instantly cut down an enemy with his sword.
The bandits were shocked when they saw this and retreated one after another. They didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so powerful, and they couldn't compete with it at all.
"Let's go!"
Someone shouted, and the bandits retreated like a tide, leaving only Gu Sheng alone standing in Gambling Stone House, his golden figure shining brightly under the light.
After this battle, Gu Sheng's reputation is at its peak. Not only did he win countless treasures from gambling on stones, he also showed great strength. People were talking about this young monk, and his story became a legend in the ice field.
Gu Sheng didn't stop there. He knows that his path of cultivation is still very long, and he needs more opportunities and challenges to temper himself.
So, he picked up his luggage, left Cold Stone Workshop, and continued walking towards the unknown front, leaving only a golden back drifting away in the wind and snow...
A few days later, Gu Sheng came to an ancient city named "Frost City".
Here, it is bustling and lively, with monks of all kinds gathering together. It is Northern Region's famous holy land for cultivation.
While Gu Sheng was wandering around Frost City, he discovered a larger Gambling Stone House - "Frost Stone Gambling House".
The scale of stone gambling here is larger and there are more participants. There are not only young men from aristocratic families and bandits, but also powerful monks from all sides.
Either in search of excitement or in order to get rich overnight, they all gather here to engage in thrilling gambling games. Gu Sheng looked at the bustling gambling house with a glimmer of light in his eyes. He decided to use his Great Moon Eye Technique again to show off his skills here.
"This little friend, it looks like this is your first time to visit our Frost Stone Gambling House, right?" An enthusiastic voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears. Gu Sheng turned around and saw a middle-aged man looking at him with a smile. He was dressed in fine clothes and was obviously one of Gambling Stone House's stewards.
"Yes, Gu Sheng, this is indeed your first time here." Gu Sheng nodded.
"Little friend Gu is here just in time. We Frost Stone Gambling House happen to have a big gambling game about to begin. I wonder if little friend Gu is interested in participating?" the middle-aged man invited enthusiastically.
"Oh? A big bet?" Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and became interested, "I wonder what kind of bet it is?"
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and explained, "This big gamble is our annual event at Frost Stone Gambling House, called 'Frost Gambling King Competition'. Participants need to pay a certain amount of spiritual stones as bets, and then select the rough stones for cutting. Whoever can cut out the most precious treasure will win the bets of all participants and become this year's 'Sky Frost Gambling King'."
Gu Sheng heard a glint in his eyes. He knew that his opportunity had come, and this big gamble would allow him to show off his skills and win more treasures and spiritual stones. So he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll participate."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly went through the participation procedures for Gu Sheng. Soon, Gu Sheng came to the stone gambling area, ready to start his stone gambling journey.
Frost Stone Gambling House was filled with people and various monks gathered together. Gu Sheng stood in the crowd, scanning the bustling Gambling Stone House with burning eyes.
"I will definitely win this big bet!" Gu Sheng said in his heart, his eyes shining with determination.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked up to Gu Sheng and enthusiastically invited him to participate in the upcoming "Frost Gambling King Competition". Gu Sheng nodded in agreement, his heart full of fighting spirit.
The gambling game began. Gu Sheng relied on Great Moon Eye Technique and his extraordinary wisdom to select rough stones that seemed ordinary but contained precious treasures. Each cut elicited a burst of exclamations and admiration. His techniques are skillful and decisive, and he seems to be able to discern the secrets of the rough stones every time.
"This little friend has such good eyesight!" An admiring voice sounded in Gu Sheng's ears. Gu Sheng turned around and saw a tall man with a rough face looking at him with a smile. He was wearing a rich brocade suit, with a big sword hanging from his waist, looking majestic.
"My friend, Xing Lie, is a bandit leader. I'm really impressed that I've won my bets repeatedly!" Xing Lie said with a smile.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "It's just good luck. If Brother Xing is interested, how about a few bets together?"
Xing Lie laughed loudly when he heard this, "That's exactly what I meant! The rough stone my friend picked, I, Xing Lie, also bet on it!"
So, in the next gambling game, Gu Sheng and Xing Lie worked together to win consecutive bets. Every move they made caused a burst of exclamations and admiration, as if they had become the focus of Gambling Stone House.
However, with their successive victories, they also attracted the jealousy and hostility of many people. Some young masters from aristocratic families and powerful monks began to secretly collaborate and prepare to attack Gu Sheng and Xing Lie.
"Hmph! These two boys are so arrogant, they dare to be so unruly on our territory!" A young man from a noble family said through gritted teeth.
"That's right! Let's take action together and drive them out Gambling Stone House!" Another powerful monk agreed.
Although their voices were low, they were clearly transmitted to the ears of Gu Sheng and Xing Lie.
The two looked at each other with a disdainful smile on their faces. They knew that although these young men from aristocratic families and powerful monks were outnumbered, it was not easy to attack them.
"Brother Xing, just leave these people to me. You can go ahead and pick the rough stones!" Gu Sheng said lightly. There was a strong sense of confidence in his tone, as if he had already secured victory.
Xing Lie nodded when he heard this. "Okay! Be careful, little friend!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the rough stone selection area on the other side and continued to select rough stones. And Gu Sheng stood there, quietly waiting for the arrival of the young men from aristocratic families and powerful monks.
He knew this battle would be inevitable and he was fully prepared.
Soon, the young men from aristocratic families and powerful monks gathered together and walked towards Gu Sheng.
They all looked fierce, as if they were going to eat Gu Sheng alive.
Gu Sheng showed no fear, he stood quietly waiting for their arrival. When those people came to Gu Sheng, he suddenly moved!
I saw his figure shuttling around those people like a ghost, taking away an enemy's life every time he took action! His movements were so fast that it was impossible to see clearly!
"Ah!"
A young man from an aristocratic family screamed and fell to the ground. His chest had been penetrated by Gu Sheng's palm!
Others were injured by Gu Sheng's sword energy and fell to the ground groaning in pain.
This scene shocked everyone! They didn't expect Gu Sheng to be so powerful! Those young men from aristocratic families and powerful monks were like ants in front of him!
Xing Lie also saw this scene, with a trace of surprise and admiration flashing in his eyes! "He knows that he did not see the wrong person this time. Gu Sheng is indeed a friend worth making!"
This bet also reached a climax due to the outstanding performance of Gu Sheng! Everyone is crazy about it! They were shouting and cheering, as if they were going to overturn the entire Gambling Stone House!
And Gu Sheng stood in the crowd, smiling and enjoying the glory of this moment. "He knows that this is just the beginning, and his road to spiritual practice is still very long! But he is already ready to meet the challenges ahead!"
After the gambling game ended, Gu Sheng and Xing Lie walked out of Gambling Stone House side by side.
Although it was only a brief encounter, the two formed a deep friendship.
"Brother Gu, today is really fun! I didn't expect that not only are you superb at gambling, but you are also so good at cultivation!" Xing Lie said with a generous smile.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "Brother Xing deserves the award. I'm just lucky."
The two chatted and laughed happily, as if they had been friends for many years.
They all know that the world of cultivation is full of unknowns and dangers, and if you want to truly gain a foothold, you need more effort and strength.
"Brother Gu, I wonder what your plans are next?" Xing Lie suddenly asked.
Gu Sheng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I plan to continue to go deeper into Northern Region and explore more opportunities and challenges. Only by constantly tempering yourself can we go further."
Xing Lie heard this and nodded. "Brother Gu really has lofty ambitions! Although I, Xing Lie, am a bandit leader, I also know that the path of spiritual practice requires continuous progress. It is truly a blessing to meet Brother Gu today! If Brother Gu doesn't dislike it, I am willing to go with you to Northern Region!"
Gu Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this. "I wish for it! With a hero like Brother Xing by my side, why should I, Gu Sheng, worry about the road ahead being rough?"
The two looked at each other and smiled with pride.
They know that the commitment at this moment will become their firm belief and endless motivation in their future spiritual practice.
What Xing Lie does is robbing families and homes, and sometimes it's stealing, but, in his words, it's called robbing the rich to give to the poor, and doing justice to God.
The targets of robberies are often famous big devils and rich business families who are ruthless.
He took Gu Sheng to wander around Northern Region for a while and made some friends.
Then I heard something strange happened at Northern Region Primordial Mine, where someone dug up a powerful existence from ancient times.
The two of them immediately fell in love and went to Primordial Mine.
Primordial Mine's girl in purple
Northern Region, the situation changed, and within Primordial Mine, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
Xing Lie led Gu Sheng all the way, with an unusual light shining in his eyes. "Brother Gu, it seems we are going to make a fortune this time!" He looked at the chaotic mine ahead and laughed softly.
Gu Sheng frowned and did not respond to Xing Lie's teasing. He felt a strong uneasiness, which came from the suffocating and powerful atmosphere deep in the mine.
The two quickly passed through the mining area, avoiding the panicked warriors one after another. Finally, they came to the edge of the mine.
I saw a Big Black Dog barking wildly and digging its claws into the mine frantically. And in the mine, a girl in purple clothes loomed, and her body exuded a powerful and heart-stopping aura.
"Woof!" Big Black Dog bared his teeth and barked wildly when he saw Gu Sheng and Xing Lie.
"This bitch seems to have noticed something precious." Xing Lie chuckled and was about to step forward to chase Big Black Dog away.
But Gu Sheng stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait, something is wrong."
At this moment, the girl in purple suddenly opened her eyes, and two purple rays of light shot out. Xing Lie and Gu Sheng suddenly felt a Array Core palpitation, as if their souls were penetrated by the purple light.
