When the red clouds filled half of the sky, Gu Sheng heard the footsteps of the team in front.
After careful identification, he roughly knew the number of people on the other side.
Turning to look at his own people, he gestured lightly.
Everyone understood and immediately followed him to one side.
Gu Sheng did not slow down and continued to lead everyone forward.
Not long after, they saw the figure in front of them.
The other party didn't seem to be aware of their presence, and kept walking at the same speed.
Gu Sheng wanted to pass quietly from the right, but the road was so narrow that it was impossible to pass quietly, so he unconsciously slowed down.
While walking around, he deliberately made some noise, trying to attract the other party's attention, hoping to wait for their attention before passing on the right side.
Soon, his move worked. The people at the end of the front line immediately turned around when they heard the sound.
When he saw Gu Sheng and others, he frowned unconsciously, his eyes full of vigilance, and quickly informed the people in front.
Knowing what he was doing, Gu Sheng did not take any action until the opponent's team came to a complete stop, then he led everyone to move closer to the right.
All the eyes of the opponent's troops fell on them. Gu Sheng did not feel any discomfort and just led the species forward.
Shi Lou and the others felt uncomfortable with this look, and their steps unconsciously hurried.
Just as they were about to cross the line, the man standing at the front suddenly spoke.
"Brother, have you ever been to Purple Cloud Peak?"
Hearing this, Gu Sheng paused.
After looking at the person who spoke, he found that the person didn't look familiar, so he shook his head.
Seeing him shake his head, the man smiled.
"Brother, you don't have to deny it. I have felt your breath in Purple Cloud Peak. It must be you."
This time, Gu Sheng stopped completely.
"You feel my breath in Purple Cloud Peak? Are you from Purple Cloud Peak?"
The man raised his eyebrows and raised his chin in the direction of the flag.
"We are from Elf race, how can we be compared to Purple Cloud Peak?"
Only then did Gu Sheng see the flag made with divine power. It was indeed Elf race.
But he didn't expect that Elf race would also be interested in the spirit beads.
"I, Elf race, have a grudge against Purple Cloud Peak. I wanted to find a suitable time to go to Purple Cloud Peak and kill them. Unexpectedly, when we arrived, the place was already full of corpses. Those who had offended us were all dead. I felt all the auras at the scene, but yours was the heaviest. If I guessed correctly, you deliberately left your aura, right?"
"Yes, I just want Master Purple Cloud Peak to know that there is a master for him to seek revenge in the future."
"Aren't you afraid that he will seek revenge?"
"I'm just afraid he won't come."
When Gu Sheng said this, his tone was calm, but his aura was extremely strong.
The person from Elf race showed some appreciation and bowed slightly to him.
"Anyway, brother, you have helped us Elf race. Please accept this thank you."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng waved his hand.
"I went here for my own people, not for others. You don't need to thank me."
"I know you went here for your Stone Village people, but you helped me by killing them. Please accept my thanks."
Hearing him directly reveal his identity, Gu Sheng's expression changed instantly, and his hand unconsciously touched Fire Spirit Dagger.
The other party felt something and chuckled lightly.
"Brother, don't be so nervous. I know you got the dark wood, but we Elf race are not interested in it. The wood we Elf race use is made from centuries-old tree spirits, which is much better than the dark wood."
In an instant, Gu Sheng reacted.
The plants and trees required by Elf race are all of the highest quality. They are made by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and turning them into essences. It is indeed not comparable to the gloomy wood.
After reacting, Gu Sheng fisted with both hands.
"Sorry, I've been quite tired because of this recently, and I've been a little nervous for a while."
"It doesn't matter. People in the world always like to compete. If you get the Dark Wood, there must be many people who have ideas. But don't worry, we Elf race will not have any ideas in this regard."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng nodded.
At this time, the man took out a token and handed it directly to him.
"My name is Lan Yao, and this token is a thank you gift from my Elf race. If you need wood again in the future, you don't have to go to Yin Shen Mountain, just come to Elf race to find me."
Looking at the token, Gu Sheng raised his hand to push it away.
"It's really not necessary. I helped you unintentionally, not intentionally."
"Whether you did it intentionally or not, you helped us Elf race. This is a fact."
Lan Yao pushed with his right hand and pushed the token directly into the palm of Gu Sheng.
"We Elf race have never been good friends with anyone, but when we met today, I somehow felt that I was destined to you, so I wanted to make friends with you. What do you think, brother?"
"The world is so big that after we say goodbye today, it may be difficult to see each other again in the future, so let's forget it."
Gu Sheng just wants to get the spirit beads, and it doesn't seem like an extraneous problem. Even though he knows that Elf race really has good intentions, he still doesn't want to have too much friendship with the outside world.
Hearing his answer, Lan Yao sighed heavily.
"Perhaps I am too presumptuous, but I really want to make friends with you. We are destined to meet each other. How about leaving your name, brother?"
"My name is Gu Sheng."
"Gu Sheng, South Mountain If we meet again, will you be willing to make friends with me?"
Seeing the light in his eyes, Gu Sheng sighed helplessly.
He really couldn't understand why the Elf race people were also targeting him?
"If we are destined, we will talk after we meet three times."
After leaving these words, Gu Sheng raised his fist to say goodbye, and then left with a few people.
Lan Yao watched him all the way behind. Gu Sheng felt something, but did not look back.
It wasn't until they reached the no man's land again that Gu Sheng slowed down and allowed a few people to rest temporarily.
This time, Shi Lou didn't dare to say anything. Huang Shan asked, "Brother Sheng, why don't you want to be friends with Elf race?"
After he asked, everyone's eyes fell on Gu Sheng's face.
Feeling the gazes of several people, Gu Sheng said, "It's not that I don't want to be friends, I just don't think it's necessary. Elf race has always been aloof and has never interacted with the outside world. Even if they take the initiative to show kindness, their attitude must be that they put others first. We have nothing to ask for, so there is no need to lower our posture."
"Rumors have always been like this, but when I met him today, I felt that Elf race's attitude was quite friendly and did not give people the feeling of being superior. On the contrary, Lan Yao's tone was a bit flattering. Brother Sheng, I think if there is a chance, I can still have an in-depth relationship with him."
Gu Sheng understood what he meant and nodded lightly.
"Like I said, if we had the opportunity to meet three times in a row and he was as friendly as ever, I would consider it."
In fact, Gu Sheng is still very cautious about this matter.
He knew Elf race's position in the world, and he also knew that it was a good thing to be friends with them, but he didn't want to be inferior to others, nor did he want to be anyone's fan, so he put forward that condition.
If Lan Yao can do it, he will consider it.
"Brother Sheng, at the feet of South Mountain, we will definitely meet, right? Does this count as a once-in-a-lifetime visit?"
"Forget it, as long as they can arrive at the feet of South Mountain within the specified time and participate in the battle meeting."
Knowing that he had deliberately let go, Huang Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
For the next few days, they kept walking on the small road. Because there was no one on this road and they never relaxed, their speed was faster than the average team.
Just when Gu Sheng and others were about to arrive at the feet of South Mountain, the owner of the Black Fiend Sect was still looking for them on the road.
After walking along the original road for several days, Gu Sheng and the others were still nowhere to be seen. The owner of the Black Fiend Sect couldn't help but feel angry.
"They clearly took this route, so how come they couldn't catch up after chasing them for several days?"
Seeing his angry look, his men stepped forward cautiously.
"Master, they were walking ahead of us. Is it because we were too slow and never caught up?"
Hearing this, the Black Fiend Sect master slapped him down.
"Fart! What kind of strength can a mere Stone Village person have? We have been driving for several days and still haven't caught up. It shows that they are not on this road!"
The subordinates were slapped for no reason and could only hang their heads in silence.
When he finished speaking, the Black Fiend Sect leader himself also realized that he hadn't found Gu Sheng and others for a long time. Could it be that they really weren't on this road?!
"Hurry up. There is a fork to South Mountain. No matter which way they take, they will eventually reach South Mountain from there. Let's go there to block him."
After saying that, he completely ignored his men and walked away.
On the road at this time, Gu Sheng and others had already seen the fork from a distance.
Knowing that he was about to reach the feet of South Mountain, Gu Sheng's speed was much slower.
He found a very small forest and went in with this kind of person.
"The fork ahead is about to reach the foot of South Mountain. Many sects will pass by. Let's replenish our strength first, and then go to South Mountain."
South Mountain There are many teams at his feet, including many outstanding figures in the world. They are running all the way, not exhausted, but their spiritual power has been consumed. Before entering the battle of the gods, it is better to replenish their physical strength.
Everyone understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.
In the woods, Gu Sheng summoned the small cauldron and enveloped everyone in it. Then he took out the spiritual stones and distributed them equally among everyone.
Several people sat on the ground, constantly absorbing the spiritual power of the spirit stones.
Wisps of light rose up, all enveloped by the small cauldron, and fed back to themselves again.
Late at night, Gu Sheng was the first to recover and stood up to keep vigil for several people.
Within two hours, Gu Sheng drove away many wild beasts.
Just before dawn, a beast with ten years of cultivation sprang out from the darkness and crashed into the small cauldron.
Gu Sheng frowned and wanted to drive it away. When he led everyone to the feet of South Mountain, a faint sound from the small tripod attracted the attention of others.
Gu Sheng didn't notice it and was still using Fire Spirit Dagger to fight off the beast.
After a few rounds, when the beast fled in a hurry, Gu Sheng was ready to return to the small tripod again.
At this time, the master of the Black Fiend Sect suddenly appeared, and the scimitar in his hand came straight towards Gu Sheng's vest.
"Suffer death!"
Feeling the murderous aura behind him, Gu Sheng felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.
He turned aside and Fire Spirit Dagger thrust backwards, directly hitting the Black Fiend Sect door master's scimitar.
There was a bang, and both of their arms were numb from the shock. Gu Sheng took two steps back into the small cauldron, while the Black Fiend Sect door master was so shocked that he kept retreating.
Turning to look at him, Gu Sheng saw anger rising in his eyes.
"When it comes to sneak attacks, the Black Fiend Sect master really has ulterior motives."
Hearing the sarcasm in his words, the Black Fiend Sect master smiled coldly.
"I have many methods, you might as well try a few more."
"We are about to arrive at the feet of South Mountain at this time. Are you not afraid that I will escape with my life and expose the scandal you have done to the public?"
Upon hearing this, the face of the Black Fiend Sect Master changed instantly.
"You Stone Village people are still able to escape from me? It's just a dream!"
"What if I have this ability?"
"So what if you have this ability? You Stone Village are not from a well-known and upright family, so naturally no one will believe what you say! If you dare to say it then, I will pour dirty water on you, and you may be self-defeating!"
"It seems that Black Fiend Sect Master has thought up all the countermeasures."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Black Fiend Sect the door owner showed a bit of pride on his face.
Seeing his appearance, Gu Sheng sneered.
"You thought very carefully, but you only miscalculated one thing."
"What's the matter?"
"You Black Fiend Sect are no match for us. We want to escape from you easily."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Sheng flew out of his hand with divine power and hit the small tripod directly.
The small cauldron rumbled, quickly awakening Huang Shan and others.
At this time, their strength has reached its peak. Now that they are awakened by Xiaoding, they feel a little more annoyed and their strength is naturally better.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Black Fiend Sect. Shi Lou's back molars were almost broken.
"Brother Sheng, what do they want to do?"
"Want our lives."
"They are delusional!"
After Shi Lou finished speaking, the Black Fiend Sect master laughed.
"How dare you, an idiot like you, say that we are wishful thinking? If you hadn't taken the initiative to reveal your identity, I wouldn't be sure that you are Stone Village. Now, please hand over the Dark Wood, otherwise none of you will survive!"
When he mentioned the stupid thing that day again, Shi Lou was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He held the weapon tightly, turned to look at Gu Sheng, and asked with his eyes if he could do it.
When their eyes met, he nodded slightly.
Seeing him nodding, Shi Lou immediately flew up and flew straight towards the Black Fiend Sect master!
Seeing him move, Er Gou also rushed forward immediately.
The two took the first step, followed closely by Huang Shan and others.
Gu Sheng did not take back the small cauldron, but injected divine power to expand it until everyone at the Black Fiend Sect was also enveloped in it, and then he went to help Shi Lou.
Shi Lou's strength is at its peak, but he is still no match for the leader of the Black Fiend Sect.
After a few moves, he was directly knocked away by the opponent's palm.
Gu Sheng rushed up from behind, held him up with one hand, and landed him firmly on the ground.
"Shi Lou, it's okay to have murderous intentions, but don't be too hasty, lest you get angry."
After leaving these words, Gu Sheng took out Fire Spirit Dagger, turned around, and immediately jumped into the air dexterously.
Seeing a flash of fiery red on his hand, Black Fiend Sect Master immediately cheered up, the scimitar in his hand reappeared, and met him in mid-air.
