Looking at Shi Lou, Gu Sheng felt dumbfounded.

"Okay, let's go, a team has already passed us."

Everyone continued to move forward along the path, but the smell of blood became stronger as they went up the mountain.

"Hey."

Er Gou suddenly exclaimed, his feet stumbled, and he almost fell down the mountain.

Huang Shan was frightened and raised his hand to grab him.

"Be careful!"

"I stepped on a rock, it was so round that I almost slipped off!"

Er Gou was so angry that he kicked hard, and a piece of white bone flew into the eyes of everyone!

"No, this... this..."

After stepping back, Er Gou's body staggered again.

"Hey!"

Shi Lou, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed him again.

"Are you fighting against this mountain criminal? Why do you fall more and more as you go higher?"

"I don't know either. I almost fell when my foot slipped."

"You stepped on a bone again?"

"It doesn't seem like..."

Er Gou turned his head as he spoke, but when he turned around, a bloody arm appeared at his feet!

"Fuck, I stepped on an arm! Brother Sheng, I stepped on an arm!"

Hearing the exclamation, Gu Sheng rushed to his side.

Seeing the broken arm, he thought about it and picked it up.

Seeing Gu Sheng pick up the severed arm, everyone took a step back unconsciously.

At this time, Gu Sheng said, "This person is from the sect in front of us."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked from ear to ear.

"Brother Sheng, are you sure?"

"Make sure, they all have markings on their wrists, you can tell at a glance."

"But why did he break his arm?"

"Not only did he have a broken arm, he was dead."

"What? He's dead!"

"Looking at the top, the flesh has turned black. It is obvious that he was poisoned, causing the internal energy to explode, and the body exploded to death. Only one arm collapsed here, and the rest... I guess there is not even a scrap left?"

Thinking about this kind of death, everyone felt frightened.

"Who gave him the poison? Aren't you afraid of destroying the spirit of the spirit bead?"

After Shi Lou asked, Huang Shan said, "It may not be the action of other gangs, it may also be the action of South Mountain's own elves and ghosts."

Gu Sheng particularly agrees with this.

"That's right, along the way we not only encountered wild beasts, but also river clams, all of which were refined by the energy of South Mountain. There might be something else going up, so everyone must be careful."

After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng took out the pearl, looked at it again and again, and swallowed it directly.

"Everyone, swallow the pearls. Right now, being strong is the best way to protect yourself."

Everyone knew that what he said was right, so they swallowed the pearls one after another.

In an instant, divine power burst out from several people, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to become more lush.

In order to prevent these flowers and plants from turning into spirits, Gu Sheng deliberately released his inner strength to suppress the spiritual energy. After confirming that everything was safe, they left.

In the next two days, they saw a lot of broken limbs, some familiar, some unfamiliar, and the number of bones under these broken limbs was even more shocking. This shows how many lives South Mountain had lost!

Approaching the top of the mountain, Gu Sheng felt that the air was getting colder and colder.

Turning to look at Shi Lou and others, he found that their faces were a little blue.

Knowing that they deliberately suppressed the divine power, Gu Sheng said, "Don't suppress the divine power, otherwise you will freeze to death before you reach the top of the mountain."

"Brother Sheng, if we release our divine power, will it attract wild beasts?"

"As we approach the top of the mountain, the location becomes increasingly narrow. Even if we don't release our divine power, there is a risk of being discovered. In this case, it's better to save our lives first."

After thinking about it, everyone felt that what he said made sense, so they released their magical power and slowly restored their body temperature.

While they were adjusting, two pairs of eyes in the distance stared at them.

"Luan Yun, look if that's Gu Sheng!"

"Yes, it's him! If we weren't close to the top of the mountain, I would have killed him!"

Listening to Luan Yun's gritted teeth, Zhang Ping rolled his eyes and raised his lips evilly.

"We can't kill him, but if he dies, it has nothing to do with us, right? The spirit beads are so spiritual, so they won't blame us."

After he finished speaking, Luan Yun opened his eyes wide.

"Zhang Ping brother, what can you do?"

"Look at the position above Gu Sheng. Those boulders look unstable. The road below is so narrow. Do you think they would be killed if these boulders fell?"

Hearing this, Luan Yun's eyes lit up, but soon darkened again.

"We are approaching the top of the mountain. What if we release our divine power and it really affects the spiritual energy of the spirit bead?"

"Look at the size of the stone. With the number of us Black Fiend Sect plus you Purple Cloud Peak, it seems like we can push it without any magical power."

Finally understood what he meant, Luan Yun was extremely happy.

"Zhang Ping brothers are still smart. In this case, we will go up the mountain first and kill them from above."

The two hit it off immediately, quietly walked around from the side, and went up the mountain first.

At this time Gu Sheng, everyone's body temperature has completely recovered.

Seeing how energetic they all were, Gu Sheng did not forget to say, "Don't be too happy. It's just not cold now. It gets colder as we get to the top. It's better to adapt as soon as possible. There are not many teams going up the mountain, but we are definitely not the only one. The road above is getting narrower and narrower. We will inevitably meet them. We must cheer up. From now on, we must watch all directions and listen to all directions. No one can miss it."

"Brother Sheng, don't worry, we won't be careless when it comes to life and death."

After hearing their guarantees one by one, Gu Sheng nodded and continued upward with a few people.

Before nightfall, Gu Sheng looked at the road ahead and suddenly stopped.

"We're not leaving tonight, we'll just rest here."

"Brother Sheng, it's not dark yet. Did we rest too early?"

"It's late. There are a lot of rocks up there. If there are other teams up there, we might die if we go forward. It's safer here."

Understanding what he meant, everyone immediately stepped back.

As soon as he took two steps back, Shi Lou noticed something was wrong behind him. He turned around and pushed, and found that it was actually a cave.

"Brother Sheng, there is a cave here!"

Hearing this, Er Gou grabbed him nervously.

"Don't poke your head inside, what if there's a beast inside?"

"Are you stupid or am I stupid? Can't I feel the breath? If it's a beast's cave, I'll know it as soon as I explore it."

As he spoke, Shi Lou released his weak divine power and cautiously probed inside.

After the night, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's okay. There are no wild beasts inside, but I don't know why. The smell inside is a bit strange. Brother Sheng, why don't you give it a try?"

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Sheng strode over.

Having decided to rest here, they have plenty of time to find out.

After experiencing the river clam incident, Gu Sheng was full of curiosity about every place here.

After releasing the weak divine power, Gu Sheng pushed the god to explore inside little by little.

I don't know where his strength was detected, but everyone only saw that his expression suddenly stiffened.

Seeing the change in his expression, everyone involuntarily became nervous, but Gu Sheng was still releasing his divine power. They did not dare to disturb him at all and could only look at him helplessly.

After a while, Gu Sheng took back his divine power and let out a long breath.

Shi Lou couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Sheng, do you feel the strange atmosphere inside?"

"Feel it."

"It's true! Can you feel what it is?"

"It looks like Purple Spirit Grass."

Gu Sheng As soon as Gu Sheng said these words, Shi Lou's eyes almost fell out.

"Brother Sheng, do you think there is Purple Spirit Grass in this cave? Purple Spirit Grass that can cure all kinds of diseases and restore beauty?"

"Purple Spirit Grass can't cure all diseases, it can only protect your meridians at any time, but it is true that it can restore your appearance."

"It can protect the meridians at any time. Isn't it a life-saving medicine? The outside world has spread this medicinal material to be magical, but I have never seen it before. Brother Sheng, can we go in and take a look?"

"Okay, let's go in and take a look. If it's really Purple Spirit Grass, our trip will be worthwhile."

Others thought the same thing and were suddenly very excited.

It is said that Purple Spirit Grass is more than ten times more effective than Fire Red Flower. They have personally experienced the efficacy of Fire Red Flower and they are already amazed. If they can get Purple Spirit Grass again, it will be perfect!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't wait to get in.

"Brother Sheng, make sure we don't leave tonight, we're here, right?"

"Yes, it's getting late. It's not safe up there. If a stone falls, it might kill a few people."

"Okay, I'll feel more relieved if I have the whole night."

Several people strode in. The cave was pitch black. Gu Sheng took out the luminous pearl to illuminate it, and everyone moved forward along the cave.

I don't know how far I walked, Gu Sheng suddenly heard the sound of silk.

Seeing that Er Gou at the front was still walking in, he held the light of Ye Mingzhu and said softly, "Er Gou, come to the back and I will lead the way."

Er Gou didn't know what happened, but he also knew that Gu Sheng had a reason for suddenly saying that, so he quickly gave up his position and quickly retreated to the back.

Gu Sheng walked at the front, his steps obviously much slower than before.

After turning a corner, he suddenly raised his hand to stop everyone behind him.

Shi Lou probed forward from above his arm, but saw nothing, which made him a little confused.

"Brother Sheng, there is nothing in front of you. Did you notice something?"

"There is a python in front of you, right at the bottom of the stone wall on the right. It's black and clinging to it."

As soon as Gu Sheng said the words, Shi Lou felt that his scalp was numb and the hairs all over his body stood up.

He looked over there again, and after careful inspection, he finally discovered something strange.

"Brother Sheng, I saw it, what should I do now? Do you want to continue?"

"That python is covered with Purple Spirit Grass."

Gu Sheng did not directly say whether to continue, but informed everyone that Purple Spirit Grass was under the python.

After hearing this, several people looked at me and I looked at you. Finally, Huang Shan said, "Brother Sheng, since there is Purple Spirit Grass, let's give it a try."

"Thoughts on other lives?"

"Brother Sheng, we have the same idea as Huang Shan!"

"Okay, let's give it a try."

After making the decision, Gu Sheng directly took out Fire Spirit Dagger and approached the black python little by little.

The black python seemed to be aware of the popularity, and moved slowly. Looking up, its eyes were as bright as pearls in the night.

Gu Sheng stopped slightly and raised his hand to stop the person behind him.

"Don't act rashly. Wait for me here."

Hearing this, Shi Lou grabbed him.

"Brother Sheng, this black python is very powerful at first glance. I'm afraid you can handle it alone, so let's go together."

"No, this place is small. There are so many of us. Once we take action, we can easily hurt our own people. I'll go and deal with it for a while, and you can act accordingly."

After saying that, Gu Sheng pushed his hand away and walked forward alone.

Seeing that he was still approaching, the black python began to spit out the letter.

Knowing that the other party was somewhat spiritual, Gu Sheng carried Fire Spirit Dagger behind him.

"We have no intention of hurting you, we are just here for Purple Spirit Grass. If you are willing to give up Purple Spirit Grass, I promise not to hurt you."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, the black python had no intention of stopping and still stared at him, but Gu Sheng could feel that the murderous aura on its body was no longer so heavy.

After swallowing, Gu Sheng thought for a while and took out the Night Pearl.

It was dark here, and the black python's eyes were too bright. His eyes were stinging. If there wasn't some confrontational light, he might have been blinded before he could take action.

Just as Gu Sheng was gradually adapting to the light in front of him, he suddenly found the black python staring directly at the luminous pearl in his hand.

Looking at the luminous pearl in his hand, Gu Sheng didn't find anything unique, but seeing the black python's appearance, he still handed the luminous pearl forward.

"You... like Ye Mingzhu?"

The black python looked at him, and the murderous aura on his body dissipated in an instant.

Upon noticing, Gu Sheng was immediately overjoyed.

"If you like, I can exchange the luminous pearl for the Purple Spirit Grass under you."

However, the black python didn't seem to be satisfied, and its huge body shrank even more, directly covering all Purple Spirit Grass underneath it.

Gu Sheng has a headache and continues to persuade.

But no matter what he said, the black python just lost its previous reaction. Although it frequently looked at the luminous pearl in his hand, it was not as enthusiastic as before.

Gu Sheng said that his mouth was dry and he could no longer find any reason. In desperation, he took out another luminous pearl from the storage ring.

With two luminous pearls placed in front of his eyes, the black python's body jumped up, and the light in his eyes was as bright as the luminous pearls.

Seeing it like this, Gu Sheng cautiously stepped back.

"If I give you both luminous pearls, can you give me Purple Spirit Grass?"

The black python couldn't speak, but it understood Gu Sheng's words, and its huge body moved slowly, really giving up Purple Spirit Grass's position!

Gu Sheng's eyes lit up, but he didn't dare to step forward easily, and asked again to confirm, "Are you sure you want to switch with me?"

The black python leaned to the side again, his meaning already obvious.

Gu Sheng gritted his teeth and took the lead in throwing the two luminous pearls over to show his sincerity.
