As Four-Eyed Divine Beast approached, an unpleasant fishy smell hit his nostrils.
Gu Sheng and the others subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, but just as they raised their hands, the beast suddenly roared, waves of sound came, and went straight to the weak areas of their waists and abdomen behind their raised hands!
Sensing something was wrong, Gu Sheng immediately put down his hand, quickly twisted his body, and jumped to avoid the attack.
He escaped successfully, but Shi Lou and others were not so lucky.
They subconsciously stopped their hands, but their movements were far less fast than the roar of the mythical beast. In just a moment, their waist and abdomen were severely injured!
Hearing several screams, Gu Sheng's expression changed and he quickly defended himself in front of everyone.
"Heal quickly."
After he finished speaking, Huang Shan gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"No, this beast is so powerful that you alone can't resist it. Although we were injured, we can still hold it off for a while!"
After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng immediately clenched his fists.
"We're not even halfway up the mountain yet, and you're already injured right now. We'll never get the spirit bead in our lifetime! Heal your wounds as long as you're allowed to, so hurry up!"
Gu Sheng's tone was somewhat unquestionable. Huang Shan and others were suppressed by his momentum and could only clench their molars and follow his words.
As soon as they sat down, Four-Eyed Divine Beast launched another attack.
It seems to have activated its intelligence, so the target of the attack is no longer Gu Sheng, but Huang Shan and others sitting there!
Smelling the unpleasant fishy odor on its body again, Gu Sheng just pretended that he couldn't smell it and called out Fire Spirit Dagger. With a turn of his wrist, a red light flashed across and he ran straight to Four-Eyed Divine Beast. He raised the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand high and went straight to its neck!
Being blocked by Gu Sheng, Four-Eyed Divine Beast was extremely dissatisfied and roared again, the sound going straight to Gu Sheng.
Seeing it use the same move again, Gu Sheng took a steady stance, and Fire Spirit Dagger kept slashing forward, breaking the sound waves one after another.
When the last sound disappeared, Gu Sheng launched a fatal blow, bursts of flames burned on Fire Spirit Dagger, and bursts of red light rose from his body.
The tip of Fire Spirit Dagger was pointed directly at Four-Eyed Divine Beast. Gu Sheng suddenly jumped up, missed it, and then fell quickly. When it turned its head, Gu Sheng stabbed it hard with a knife!
The moment the blood burst out, Four-Eyed Divine Beast screamed.
This time, Gu Sheng did not feel the divine power in his voice. At this moment, he realized that the sounds he made when he was not prepared had no divine power!
Realizing this, he struck again.
Fire Spirit Dagger danced flexibly in his hand, and the red flame it brought up danced around his wrist like a flexible snake, and then swooped towards Four-Eyed Divine Beast.
After being stabbed by Gu Sheng, Four-Eyed Divine Beast was completely enraged. Seeing Gu Sheng coming again, it suddenly held its breath, and its entire abdomen and body shape continued to grow!
Knowing what it was brewing, Gu Sheng was shocked and quickly moved upwards.
However, Four-Eyed Divine Beast locked his eyes and followed him immediately.
When Gu Sheng floated into the air, Four-Eyed Divine Beast suddenly let out a roar. The sound was stronger than every time before, and Gu Sheng's heart and liver were shaking!
Knowing that the four mother beasts were using their powerful moves, Gu Sheng suddenly gritted his teeth and prepared to fight to the death!
His body lurched to the right, and after the sound wave was deflected, he raised Fire Spirit Dagger, released half of his divine power, and slammed the tip of the knife downwards!
At this time, Four-Eyed Divine Beast was still exerting power. Seeing Gu Sheng's body suddenly descend, its eyes suddenly showed a bit of disbelief.
Seeing that it didn't hide, Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.
He knew that he made the right bet!
In the flash of lightning, the sound in Four-Eyed Divine Beast's mouth weakened, but Gu Sheng's speed was far faster than it imagined. Just when it wanted to dodge, Gu Sheng's Fire Spirit Dagger had already pierced it hard!
Blood burst out again, and Four-Eyed Divine Beast's claws seemed to be dancing wildly, trying to get rid of Gu Sheng.
However, Gu Sheng was really like a clinging python. When his legs were strong, his whole body was wrapped around Four-Eyed Divine Beast. No matter how it ran and swayed, he would not let go.
Seizing the opportunity, Fire Spirit Dagger stabbed Four-Eyed Divine Beast into the abdomen, and blood flowed directly all over Gu Sheng.
When Four-Eyed Divine Beast started to move crazily again, Gu Sheng held the dagger tightly and slashed backwards!
There was just a crash, and the internal organs in Four-Eyed Divine Beast's belly fell to the ground!
Seeing the heart, Gu Sheng jumped up and stepped on it hard.
With a bang, his heart burst, Four-Eyed Divine Beast finally fell to the ground!
At this moment, Gu Sheng realized that his body was soaked with sweat and blood, and even the hand holding Fire Spirit Dagger was shaking with excitement.
After taking a moment, he stepped forward, completely peeled off Four-Eyed Divine Beast's skin, and then took out its four eyes.
Looking at the eyes that were as bright as night pearls in his hand, Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"It seems that the external rumors are correct. South Mountain is indeed full of treasures."
Shi Lou and others finished recovering and hurriedly came to him, just in time to hear his words.
"Brother Sheng, the stuff is really good, but the process of getting it was too thrilling, wasn't it?"
"How can it be considered a good thing if it's not thrilling?"
Wiping the blood on his face, Gu Sheng threw everything into the storage ring.
"There's a sound over there, and it looks like there's a water source. I'll go wash it off."
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly followed him.
"Brother Sheng, there are many dangers in South Mountain. It's better for us not to separate."
"Okay, then come with me."
Following the sound of the water source, Gu Sheng walked forward and finally saw a small stream.
After holding up the stream water to wash away the blood on his body, he put his hand into the water again and suddenly noticed something strange.
When Er Gou was about to drink some water, Gu Sheng stopped him in a hurry.
"Wait a minute, don't drink!"
Hearing this, Er Gou was stunned for a moment, and the water in his fingers just flowed away.
"Brother Sheng, what's wrong?"
"There's something wrong with the water."
"What? Why didn't I notice?"
"There are spiritual fluctuations in the water. It's very weak, but it's definitely there."
Er Gou shook his hands vigorously, and then wiped his hands on his body twice, as if he had touched something dirty.
Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng was a little bit dumbfounded.
"I said there was spiritual power in the water, but I didn't say there was dirt in the water. What are you doing?"
Er Gou scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm afraid of causing trouble..."
Gu Sheng smiled and put his hand into the water again. After feeling it carefully, he suddenly bent over and paddled towards the mountain.
After walking for a while, he finally stopped.
"There's something in the water, right here."
After hearing this, everyone looked underwater, but they couldn't see anything.
"Brother Sheng, where are the things?"
"Yes, the water is so clear, you can see to the bottom at a glance. Why don't I see anything?"
In fact, Gu Sheng didn't see it either, but he felt it, and he knew that his feeling would definitely not be wrong.
After thinking about it, he took off his robe directly.
Seeing him like this, Huang Shan stopped him nervously.
"Brother Sheng, there are many dangers in South Mountain. The water seems clear, but it may not be as simple as what we see. You'd better not go in."
"There are indeed spiritual fluctuations in the water. I'm going to find out. You guys wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Gu Sheng jumped up and jumped directly.
Everyone saw his figure diving into the water, and then saw his figure disappear.
The moment Gu Sheng disappeared, everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief.
They were obviously keeping an eye on him, so how did he disappear?
For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Under the water at this time, Gu Sheng was diving down along the place where the spiritual power came from.
After an unknown amount of time, he turned over one stone after another and finally saw a huge clam.
He raised his hand to explore and determined where the spiritual power was released. He immediately swam towards that side.
To be on the safe side, he released his divine power to surround him, and then slowly approached.
Unexpectedly, the clam seemed to have no offensive power. Until he touched the clam shell with his hand, there was still no movement in the defense.
Surprised, Gu Sheng tried every means to open the clam shell, but failed.
When the oxygen in his belly decreased and he had to return to the shore, he reluctantly put away his magical power, removed all precautions, and turned around. When he was about to go up and think of a way, there was a sudden bang behind him.
A string of blisters hit him, and Gu Sheng turned his head in surprise.
Looking back, he happened to see the open clam shell!
For a moment, he was extremely excited.
In order to prevent the clam shell from closing again, Gu Sheng released his magical power.
However, as soon as his magical power flew over, the clam shell closed again.
After being stunned for a moment, Gu Sheng seemed to have thought of something and directly withdrew his divine power.
Sure enough, he lost his aggressiveness and the clam shell opened again.
Understanding what was going on, Gu Sheng didn't dare to use God anymore, and quickly stepped forward and put all the pearls in the clam shell into the storage ring.
Feeling the spiritual energy pouring into his body, Gu Sheng only dared to open his Dantian and absorb all the spiritual energy.
In an instant, all the spiritual energy in the stream disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Gu Sheng His lungs were compressed to the extreme. Seeing the clam shell slowly disappear, he quickly swam towards the shore.
At this time, everyone on the shore was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. After not seeing him for a long time, everyone's heart couldn't stop sinking, and various bad scenes vaguely appeared in their minds.
Just when they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Gu Sheng suddenly rushed out of the water, pressed him to the shore, and gasped for air.
Seeing him, Shi Lou and others' eyes lit up.
"Brother Sheng, you are finally back!"
"Brother Sheng, are you okay?"
Seeing their anxious looks, Gu Sheng quickly waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
Huang Shan and Er Gou stepped forward and pulled him up one from the left and the other from the right.
Gu Sheng Sitting on the shore, I felt a big drum of cold air rushing into my lungs. It was so empty and uncomfortable, but the moment the air came in, it was so full that it felt like it was going to explode.
Raising his hand to touch his chest, Gu Sheng carefully released his divine power.
Not noticing anything strange, he calmly used his divine power to restore his body.
After a while, he finally took a breath.
Seeing him like this, Shi Lou felt heartbroken.
"Brother Sheng, don't take such a risk next time. It's really too dangerous."
After he finished speaking, Er Gou nodded in agreement.
"Yes, the water looks crystal clear, but as soon as you dive in, it disappears not long after. This shows that there is still something fishy in the water. It would be terrible if you encounter a water monster like last time."
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng curled his lips, turned his wrist, and a bright pearl fell into his palm.
Er Gou was still talking, but when he saw the pearl, his words stopped abruptly.
Huang Shan's eyes were bright and he raised his hand to touch the pearl.
"Brother Sheng, is this... Ye Mingzhu?"
"No, they are pearls in clam shells. They can greatly increase spiritual power. One pearl is equivalent to ten high-level spiritual stones."
Gu Sheng As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was stunned from ear to ear.
"Brother Sheng, do you think this small pearl can be worth ten high-level spiritual stones?"
"Yes, this is what emits spiritual energy in the stream."
"These pearls grow directly in the water?"
"Of course not. These pearls grow in clam shells. I got them by chance. There are a dozen in total, one for each of us."
Gu Sheng took out all the pearls and gave one to each person.
There were not enough points left, so Gu Sheng felt a little worried.
Seeing what he was thinking, Huang Shan said with a smile, "Brother Sheng, leave the rest with you. If we are in trouble, you can use the pearls to save us."
After he finished speaking, Shi Lou also smiled and nodded.
"Yes, if you put it there it will be a life-saving thing. If you don't like it too much, I would also like to put it there for you."
Hearing his words, Gu Sheng quickly retracted his hand.
"Whoever has it belongs to him. Keep it for yourself. Leave the rest with me. If anyone breaks through, I will give one to you."
"Okay, listen to Brother Sheng."
While everyone was playing with the pearls happily, Huang Shan suddenly stood up.
Looking towards the east, his brows immediately became a little nervous.
"Brother Sheng, someone seems to be coming over there, I don't know which sect it is."
Hearing this, Gu Sheng stood up in a hurry.
After glancing over there, he pulled up Er Gou beside him.
"Hurry up and put your things away, let's go."
After saying that, he didn't even wait for Er Gou to respond, and pulled him forward.
Er Gou was dragged for a while by him, and then he put the things in his hands away.
Gu Sheng chose a remote path and led everyone to the southwest.
An entire hour later, the person behind finally disappeared.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Lou pointed to the right and said, "Brother Sheng, it seems like a place where we can stay. How about we take a rest first?"
After thinking about it, Gu Sheng nodded.
"Okay, let's go over there and take turns keeping watch tonight, lest Purple Cloud Peak's people catch up."
After hearing this, several people came to their senses.
"Brother Sheng, the team we saw today is from Purple Cloud Peak?" Shi Lou asked in surprise.
"There's also Black Fiend Sect."
"They found us so quickly?"
Recalling the scene at that time, Gu Sheng denied this statement.
"They probably didn't come here looking for us. They probably discovered the spiritual power in the water and came all the way up from the downstream."
"So, if we don't get the pearl, the treasure will fall into their hands?"
"Maybe."
"Fortunately we got it, otherwise if it had fallen into the hands of these gangsters, I would feel bad just thinking about it!"
