At the foot of the mountain, Hong Mei repeatedly felt the breath of Peerless Hermit.

But the longer time passed, the tighter her brows became.

Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help but become nervous.

After a long time, when Hong Mei took back his divine power, Bai Yu couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you feel the breath of Peerless Hermit?"

Hearing this, Hong Mei sighed.

"No."

Hearing this, everyone looked disappointed.

They traveled for a long time to get here, but they didn't expect to be deceived by Black and White Ghosts.

While everyone was complaining, Gu Sheng looked around.

"If you don't have it here, just find another place. This mountain is not small, so you have to go around."

Hong Mei felt a little disappointed, but felt that he was right.

"Okay, then let's take a walk."

Everyone was turning around the foot of the mountain, and Hong Mei was feeling the breath while turning.

From day to night, her face became more and more solemn.

Knowing that she had gained nothing, Gu Sheng also released her magical power.

He looked at the surrounding atmosphere bit by bit, not even missing the beasts in the mountains.

After walking like this for another two hours, Gu Sheng suddenly stopped.

Hong Mei was walking behind him, but she didn't expect him to stop suddenly. She was unsteady and bumped into his back.

"Gu Sheng, why did you stop so quietly?"

Hearing the complaint, Gu Sheng turned his head.

"Feel this place and see if there is any Peerless Hermit aura."

"No, I felt it before you stopped."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course."

"Not here, maybe inside."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Hong Mei was stunned for a moment.

"Inside? There's a mountain inside, how is that possible?"

"Nothing is impossible. There is the aura of Black and White Ghosts here. They have appeared here before. There must be a reason."

Gu Sheng As soon as these words came out, everyone came over excitedly.

"Brother Sheng, have they really been here?"

"Well, the aura is very weak. It must have been dispersed deliberately, but it still cannot hide the fact that the aura once existed. Although it is only a subtle aura, I can definitely feel it. There must be something wrong in this mountain."

Hearing this, Bai Yu raised his hand and touched the boulder behind him.

I touched left and right, but couldn't find anything strange at all.

He was a little confused and turned to look at Gu Sheng.

"Gu Sheng, this boulder is real. Are you sure there is something wrong behind it?"

Staring at the stone, Gu Sheng nodded seriously.

"The breath is coming from behind here, there must be something wrong here."

Seeing that he was speaking so seriously, everyone began to take it seriously.

They tried their best to move the stone, but the stone only moved the slightest bit.

When everyone was panting, Gu Sheng frowned.

"It's wrong to use brute force. There must be a mechanism on this stone."

Hearing his words, Lan Yao gasped and waved his hands.

"No, no, I've seen it all. I wish I could touch the whole stone. It's so smooth. There are really no traps."

After Lan Yao finished speaking, Gu Sheng didn't say much, but his eyes were still looking at him.

It's clear that he trusts his instincts more.

Taking a step forward, Gu Sheng raised his hand and touched the stone, touching every detail and crevice. In fact, as Lan Yao said, there was nothing strange on the stone.

"Gu Sheng, don't bother, I've really touched it."

Lan Yao spoke again, and Gu Sheng retracted his hand.

"I know, but there must be a mechanism on this stone, we just didn't find it."

Seeing how stubborn he was, Hong Mei frowned.

"Gu Sheng, you've touched it yourself, why don't you believe it?"

"Because there is a breath inside and I can feel it, so I don't believe it."

Seeing that he still looked stubborn, Hong Mei sighed helplessly.

"Gu Sheng, I know most of your choices are right, but you still have to listen to other people's opinions. They are the people around you and they can't lie to you, right?"

"They are telling the truth, and I am telling the truth, but these words are based on the current situation, and the truth may not be the case."

Gu Sheng refused to give in at all, and Hong Mei could only sigh helplessly.

At this time, Lan Yao stepped forward and said, "Gu Sheng, do you really think the trick is here?"

"Yes."

After he answered in the affirmative, Lan Yao also nodded seriously.

"Since you said so, then this stone must be wrong. If we do it again, the thing is right in front of us, I don't believe that we can't find this trick!"

Seeing that he was about to take action again, Gu Sheng stopped him.

"Don't worry, let's take a rest first. We've been searching for half a night, so it's time to rest."

"But..."

"The stone is right in front of you. You can't run away. Take a rest and let's think of a solution."

After saying that, Gu Sheng sat down directly against the edge of the stone.

Seeing him stop, the others rested.

They still kept talking about this topic, which actually made Hong Mei a little surprised.

She originally thought that these people would refute Gu Sheng's stubbornness after having personally verified it, but she didn't expect that they would unconditionally trust Gu Sheng when he insisted on his own opinion.

She admitted that Gu Sheng was very powerful, but was their trust a bit too exaggerated?

With a dubious attitude, Hong Mei also approached.

Everyone discussed it for a long time, and until it got slightly brighter, there was still no result from the discussion.

Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, Bai Yu sighed lightly.

"Okay, don't worry, everyone. With more people, we have greater strength. We can always find a way. Let's take a rest first. After we rest, we will continue to work."

After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng leaned to the side.

He wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, but as soon as he moved, his arm accidentally touched a small stone.

Gu Sheng moved, feeling that the stone made him uncomfortable.

He raised his hand to throw the stone away, but when he pinched it with two fingers, the stone remained motionless.

Realizing that something was wrong, Gu Sheng used a little more strength. According to the strength he used, even a stone weighing more than ten kilograms should have been moved away, but this little thing remained motionless.

Sitting up straight, Gu Sheng took a closer look. The small stone and the boulder were not one. Logically speaking, it should have been picked up, but it was so weird at the moment. This was obviously extraordinary!

Realizing this, he began to play with the small stone.

Feeling his movements, Lan Yao asked without opening his eyes, "Gu Sheng, what are you busy with? It's almost dawn, so take a rest quickly."

"Okay, you rest first."

Gu Sheng said it casually, but the movements of his hands did not stop.

Just as he repeatedly used his divine and spiritual power, he turned his fingertips, and the small stone actually turned with his strength!

For a moment, Gu Sheng was extremely ecstatic.

Only then did he realize that the stone could be rotated!

He turned the stone again and heard some faint sounds in his ears.

As soon as his eyes lit up, Gu Sheng quickly woke everyone up.

"Get up quickly! Hurry!"

Hearing his urgent words, everyone was startled and jumped up immediately.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Get aside, everyone, move over there quickly! No one can come over after you pass!"

Gu Sheng said so eagerly that everyone was a little confused and only subconsciously followed his request.

Seeing that everyone had gone aside, Gu Sheng twisted the small stone again.

Sure enough, as he turned in circles, there was a rumbling sound from the boulder behind him.

When he heard the sound, Shi Lou couldn't help shouting, "Brother Sheng, be careful!"

"Don't worry about me, I know what's going on."

Gu Sheng replied, staring at the boulder without blinking, and the movements in his hands never stopped.

After an unknown number of turns, Gu Sheng felt resistance begin to come from his hands, and the turning of the stone began to become more and more laborious.

He was cruel and turned the stone to the bottom in one fell swoop.

At this moment, the boulder behind him rumbled again, and even some gravel fell down, hitting him directly!

When Lan Yao and others were shocked, Gu Sheng quickly called out the small cauldron and placed it firmly over him, blocking all the rubble.

After countless rubbles fell, the boulder finally moved!

It actually looks like a door, slowly moving to the right!

Seeing this scene, Gu Sheng was extremely happy.

"Look, I said there must be something fishy behind this stone!"

Looking at the road behind the boulder, everyone nodded in astonishment.

"Gu Sheng, you are really amazing, you can guess all this."

After Lan Yao finished speaking, Shi Lou rolled his eyes at him.

"Brother Sheng felt this based on his ability. How come it turned into a guess?"

"Yes, yes, your brother Sheng is the most capable, and the best thing I did was to trust him unconditionally. Otherwise, there would be hundreds of detours waiting for me."

The two walked into the boulder while bickering.

Lan Yao lay at the door and looked around, rubbing the goosebumps on his arms.

"Gu Sheng, it's pitch black in here, there aren't any wild beasts, right?"

"How can there be a beast inside the stone? If there is, it is a monster."

As soon as Er Gou opened his mouth, everyone took a step back.

Seeing them like this, Gu Sheng was a little bit dumbfounded, and his eyes fell directly on Hong Mei.

"Hong Mei, come here and feel it. See if you can feel the breath of Peerless Hermit."

After hearing Gu Sheng's words, several people made way for Hong Mei.

Standing at the entrance of the boulder cave, Hong Mei released his divine power again and slowly explored into the cave.

Everyone stared at her without blinking, but she didn't open her eyes for a long time.

Just when everyone was confused, Hong Mei opened his eyes with surprise on his face.

"Gu Sheng, I feel the breath of Peerless Hermit! This road is very long, and there is indeed the breath of monsters in it, but there is also the breath of Peerless Hermit!"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I won't feel wrong about the breath of Peerless Hermit."

"How many monsters are there?"

"I feel two of them. They are not weak, but they are not stronger than you."

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows, released a burst of divine power, and slowly probed inside.

Feeling the aura of the monster, he retracted his hand directly.

"Shi Lou, you and Er Gou go in front and kill those two monsters."

Hearing this, Shi Lou and Er Gou walked to the front without hesitation.

At this time, Luo Chuan next to Bai Yu hesitated and then said, "Master, I haven't seen the monster yet. Can I also go to the front?"

Looking at him, Bai Yu asked Gu Sheng: "Is it okay for him to go? Will he be eaten by monsters?"

"Er Gou, please protect Luo Chuan."

"Okay, Brother Sheng, come here."

Er Gou waved, and Luo Chuan ran over.

Looking at his back, Bai Yu leaned into Gu Sheng's ear and said, "Didn't this Luo Chuan inherit King Luo's IQ? Why is he so stupid?"

"He probably wasn't raised in the King Luo Mansion since he was a child, and he was raised by one person, so he was raised with an innocent character. But that's okay. If he is too smart, we won't be able to control him."

Understanding what he meant, Bai Yu nodded.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Hong Mei stepped forward and said, "Don't underestimate Son of King Luo. King Luo is both smart and cunning. He can gain a foothold in the world with just his brain. His son will not be too simple."

"His son is right here. Do you look like a smart and cunning person?"

"Who knows if he is pretending? I think it's better not to take it lightly. After all, we don't get along much. If he wants to pretend, it's normal that we can't see through it."

Gu Sheng still agrees with what Hong Mei said.

"He does not pose a threat to us now, but as Hong Mei said, we can't take it lightly. It's always good to be a little wary, especially you. You are a master and a disciple and have been together longer than us. You can't let down your guard no matter what."

"Okay, I get it."

After seeing Bai Yu nodding, Gu Sheng felt relieved.

They walked all the way into the cave, and after walking for half an hour, they finally heard the sound of fighting in front of them.

Feeling the power of Shi Lou and Er Gou, Gu Sheng stopped immediately.

Seeing that he stopped, Lan Yao asked nervously, "Gu Sheng, why don't you go over and take a look? Can Shi Lou and Er Gou do it?"

"Okay, if they can't do it, I won't let them go. It's a rare opportunity, let them have a good experience."

Speaking of this, Gu Sheng said to Bai Yu, "Feel the aura of Luo Chuan and see if he has anything to hide."

"Understood."

Bai Yu stood in front of them, feeling the breath conscientiously.

Gu Sheng and the others were waiting behind, just waiting for Shi Lou and the others to deal with the two monsters.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, the aura of the monster was finally extinguished.

Raising his eyebrows, Gu Sheng led the crowd and strode over.

Seeing him coming, Shi Lou and Er Gou were overjoyed.

"Brother Sheng, look, the fur of this monster is so good. Although the inner elixir is a little weaker, it is of great value!"

After taking a look, Gu Sheng nodded.

"It's really good. You can take it yourself."

After hearing this, the two people moved quickly with their hands and feet.

At this time, Bai Yu came to Luo Chuan, frowned and asked, "Are you injured?"

Luo Chuan hid his hand back and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"When I saw the monster for the first time, I was a little excited. When I rushed, I was a little too fierce and accidentally hit a rock."

After he finished speaking, Shi Lou and Er Gou quickly said, "Brother Sheng, we have indeed taken good care of him, but he can't blame us if he insists on rushing against the rock."

"I got it, be quick with your hands and feet. Once it's done, we'll move on."

The two nodded and continued to work.
