"Jin'er! You!"
Zhao Boyang's eyes were about to burst and he roared angrily!
He never expected that Jin'er would fall out so quickly and use such ruthless methods!
The long sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and the sword light slashed at the approaching enemy!
Old Xiong also roared and waved his fists, and the violent fist wind blasted towards the enemy!
The cave instantly fell into chaos! The sword flashes, the fist wind roars!
Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong are not weak in strength, but the opponent has a large number of people and is not afraid of death. They only attack but not defend. For a while, they were forced to scramble and be surrounded by dangers!
Jin'er seemed to turn a blind eye to the fighting in front of him.
She moved lightly towards the entrance of the cave.
When passing by Zhao Boyang, she paused slightly and glanced sideways at him, her eyes indifferent, as if she was looking at a stranger.
"Zhao Boyang, you are a good chess piece. Unfortunately, you know too much."
Her red lips were slightly parted, but her voice was still cold.
Zhao Boyang struggled to block a warrior's attack, and was shocked and angry when he heard this.
"Who the hell are you?!"
Jin'er did not answer, but the corner of his mouth raised a very faint arc, as if he was in control of everything.
She raised her slender hand and flicked it in the direction of the hole.
call--!
A black smoke that was as rich as ink and exuded a pungent and sweet smell emerged out of thin air and spread instantly, completely sealing the entire cave entrance!
This black smoke not only blocks the line of sight, but also contains strong corrosive and nerve-paralyzing poison! It was the poisonous miasma she used to stop Zhao Boyang from pursuing!
"Ahem!"
Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong were caught off guard and inhaled the black smoke. They suddenly felt dizzy and the operation of True Essence became stagnant!
But those warriors who were controlled seemed unaffected, and their attacks became even crazier!
"Jin'er!"
Zhao Boyang roared angrily, trying to break through the black smoke, but the paralysis effect of the poisonous miasma slowed his movements for half a beat, and he was instantly entangled by several warriors.
The figure of Jin'er has disappeared into the thick black smoke, leaving only a vague word echoing in the cave.
"Enjoy... the last moments."
Gu Sheng followed the memory and finally arrived at the barren mountain area.
Before he even got close to the cave, he was keenly aware of an unusual and sinister atmosphere in the air.
It was a strange fluctuation that was a mixture of blood, poison, and the residue of some powerful power.
"There's a fight! And... it's the breath of Jin'er!"
Gu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart.
He immediately landed on the ground, gathered all his aura, and like a cheetah blending into the shadows, quietly sneaked towards the cave.
At the same time, the powerful mental power was like an invisible tide, cautiously spreading forward, exploring everything around it.
The mental power swept through, and the situation in the cave was instantly reflected back.
The entrance to the cave was blocked by thick black smoke. Inside the cave, Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong were locked in a bitter fight. They were besieged by more than a dozen crazy-looking warriors. Old Xiong and Old Zhen were still lying unconscious on the ground. And Jin'er... is not among them!
Gu Sheng's heart sank. Sure enough, something happened! Jin'er has left!
He immediately expanded the scope of his mental exploration to cover the entire barren mountain area.
Suddenly, his progress suddenly stopped! His gaze shot to the side not far ahead, behind a rugged black boulder.
"Come out."
Gu Sheng's voice was cold and sounded in the silent barren mountains.
A breeze blew by, picking up a few dead leaves. Behind the boulder, a graceful figure slowly turned out.
Wearing a well-tailored black dress, it outlines the thrilling curves.
She has a beautiful face and a cool temperament, like a cloud blooming in the dark night. It is Jin'er.
She stood there quietly, looking at Gu Sheng calmly, as if she had anticipated his arrival.
No powerful aura was leaking from her body, but Gu Sheng felt an invisible pressure coming over her.
"You are indeed here."
Jin'er's red lips parted slightly, and her voice was still cold and sweet, but with a calmness that understood everything.
"A little faster than I thought..."
Gu Sheng's eyes were as sharp as a knife, locked on Jin'er, and True Essence in his body was like a volcano about to erupt, roaring in his meridians.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and full of pressure.
"The secret set up by the old ghost of Styx... is indeed you. You are lurking next to Zhao Boyang, just to disrupt the situation at the critical moment and ensure that his sacrifice plan is foolproof?"
Jin'er Hearing this, there was no expression change on the beautiful face, but there seemed to be extremely tiny ripples in those deep eyes.
She looked at Gu Sheng, the corners of her mouth slowly raised an elusive arc, and her voice was lazily and playfully.
"Dark child? Stirring up the situation? Gu Sheng, your imagination... is quite rich."
She tilted her head slightly and glanced at Gu Sheng with scrutiny and curiosity.
"However, your method of destroying the sacrifice did surprise me.
That vine... the way it swallows up life force is very special. "
She paused, her red lips slightly opened, but the words she spat out were like thunder.
"I am the daughter of Styx."
Gu Sheng's pupils suddenly contracted! Even though he was determined and determined, he was shocked by this sudden identity reveal!
Nether River Venerable's daughter?! The impact of this identity far exceeded any of his previous guesses!
Jin'er seemed to be satisfied with the flash of surprise in Gu Sheng's eyes. She continued, her voice as calm as if she was telling someone else's story.
"But he and I are not the same person. That lunatic has already resorted to any means to break the so-called seal, even sacrificing his close relatives. I am lurking here not to help him, but... to get rid of him."
She turned her gaze towards the Hall of a Thousand Souls main hall, her eyes cold.
"As for Xiao Beixuan, it's just a chess piece he carefully cultivated, a poor bastard who thinks he can control his destiny, but in fact his outcome has already been doomed.
He thinks he is the future master of Soulless Shell? Oh, he had no idea that the moment the formation was activated, his soul would be completely crushed and become the nourishment for that body, eventually becoming a stepping stone for the Styx to break its seal! "
She withdrew her gaze and focused on Gu Sheng again, with inquiry.
"What I'm more curious about is you. Bai Zhi was the bait I deliberately let go. I wanted to fish out other secrets in the Styx, but I didn't expect to attract you. Not only did you see through part of my arrangement, but you also successfully took her away. How did you do that?
The Evil Spirit Bind Lock that Old Madman planted in her soul, even I need to use some tricks to suppress temporarily without alarming him. "
Gu Sheng Thoughts were racing in his mind. Jin'er's words contained too much information and it was difficult to tell whether they were true or false. But at this moment, he chose to remain calm and just said coldly.
"This has nothing to do with you."
Jin'er didn't ask further questions, as if he just mentioned it casually.
She turned her wrist, and a simple black jade talisman appeared in her palm. The surface of the jade talisman is slightly glowing.
"This is Communication Jade Talisman from Xiao Beixuan."
Jin'er tapped his fingertips lightly on the jade talisman, and a voice with obvious anxiety and rage immediately came out from it. It was Xiao Beixuan:
"Jin'er! Where are you?! Something happened over at the Sacrifice Square! Thousands of zombies... were all destroyed! Their life force was forcibly sucked away! Damn it! Who is it?! Go check it out immediately! Also, the trash in the backup array is missing!
He might have escaped in the chaos! Get him back for me! If you are alive, you want to see people, if you are dead, you want to see corpses! Quick! "
The sound stopped suddenly.
Jin'er held the jade talisman, and for the first time, a look of obvious astonishment appeared on her beautiful face!
She suddenly looked up at Gu Sheng, her eyes as sharp as knives.
"Thousands of corpse puppets... their life force was forcibly sucked away... Is it you who did it?!"
Gu Sheng was expressionless, neither admitting nor denying.
But Jin'er has confirmed it from his eyes and the smell of vines he sensed before!
"Okay! Very good!"
Jin'er The shock in his eyes quickly faded away, replaced by an indescribable excitement and... appreciation?
"Gu Sheng, you are more interesting than I thought! Destroying the sacrifices, draining the fuel from the cauldron, and directly cutting off the Styx's biggest support for breaking the seal! Well done!"
She suddenly raised her right hand, pointed in the direction of the cave, and lightly snapped her fingers.
Snap!
The crisp sound of snapping fingers echoed in the silent barren mountains.
At the same time, in the cave, the dozen or so warriors who were frantically besieging Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong seemed to have had all their strength taken away in an instant. Their movements suddenly froze, the blood in their eyes quickly faded, and then they collapsed softly on the ground, completely losing their vitality.
The fierce fighting sound in the cave suddenly stopped.
Zhao Boyang and Old Xiong were covered in blood and panting. They looked at the enemy who fell to death in an instant, their faces full of surprise and uncertainty, not understanding what happened.
Outside the barren mountain, Jin'er took back his hand, as if he had just done an insignificant thing.
She looked at Gu Sheng, her eyes becoming serious.
"Gu Sheng, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Styx is our common enemy.
As long as he remains alive, Eastern Wasteland will have no peace. Are you... willing to form an alliance with me? "
Gu Sheng's eyes were sharp and he did not relax his vigilance due to Jin'er's suggestion.
He said solemnly.
"An alliance? Why do you want me to trust you? Just because you are Styx's daughter and want to kill him?"
"I have been lurking for many years and have the core secrets and weaknesses of his plan."
Jin'er said in a determined tone.
"Because I just helped you solve the trouble in the cave. And because... you destroyed the sacrifice, you have completely stood against him, and there is no room for change. Only by working together can we have a chance to completely end that madman."
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Jin'er has a mysterious identity, unfathomable strength, and unknown purpose. Cooperating with her is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
But right now, Nether River Venerable and Xiao Beixuan are the biggest threats. If the sacrifice is destroyed, the other party will definitely counterattack wildly. It is really difficult for them to survive alone.
The intelligence and power possessed by Jin'er are the key to breaking the situation.
"Cooperation is possible."
Gu Sheng finally spoke, his voice cold.
"But only within this secret realm. Without this place, you and I have nothing to do with each other. And..."
His eyes were electric, looking directly at Jin'er.
"You need to come up with a certificate of nomination."
"A certificate of nomination?"
Jin'er raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming to find it very interesting.
"What do you want?"
"Xiao Beixuan's head."
Gu Sheng said word by word.
"He is the key executor of the Styx Plan and the mastermind of this sacrifice. Killing him will not only severely damage Styx, but also prove your sincerity."
Jin'er heard this, instead of being angry, he smiled. The smile was like the melting of ice and snow, with a thrilling beauty, but also contained a cold murderous intention.
"Okay! I'll take this certificate of nomination. Xiao Beixuan... I'll decide on his head."
She agreed so simply that Gu Sheng felt wary. But he didn't show it, just nodded.
"If you can do it, we will have initially established a cooperative relationship."
At this moment, Gu Sheng suddenly felt something in his heart, his eyes suddenly turned to the direction of the exit of the secret realm, and he said in a deep voice.
"The sacrifice was destroyed, and Xiao Beixuan, in his rage, will probably seal all the entrances and exits of the secret realm immediately, trying to catch a turtle in a jar!"
As if to confirm his words, as soon as he finished speaking, at the far end of the sky, in the area near the exit of the secret realm, countless rays of light of different colors suddenly lit up!
Like a frightened swarm of bees, they are rushing towards the exit!
Apparently it was those warriors who had not been caught or who had a chance to escape. After noticing the drastic changes and soaring blood energy in the core area, they realized that a disaster was coming and were desperately trying to escape from this place of death!
Almost at the same time as those escape lights lit up, several extremely powerful energy beams suddenly erupted in the direction of the exit of the secret realm!
The light pillars soared into the sky and intertwined into a huge energy light network with runes, instantly covering and sealing the entire exit area!
Boom!
The dull roar of energy could be heard faintly even from a long distance away.
The escaping lights that rushed towards the exit seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and were knocked back one after another. The light was dim, and some even exploded directly, accompanied by faint screams!
The exit... was indeed sealed!
Jin'er also saw this scene, his eyes slightly cold.
"The response is quite fast."
Gu Sheng withdrew his gaze and looked at Jin'er with a solemn tone.
"Now, we are all trapped in this urn.
Jin'er girl, what is your follow-up plan? How to take the head of Xiao Beixuan? "
Jin'er met Gu Sheng's gaze, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice sounded calm as if she was in control of the situation.
"The plan? It's very simple. The person he wants to kill the most right now is you, and the person he wants to find the most is the backup formation that escaped. And we... just need to let him find 'us'."
She deliberately emphasized the word "we" with a sly glint in her eyes.
The dead silence in the barren mountains was broken by the roar of energy coming from the distant exit. The light network rising into the sky was like a cold cage, announcing that the secret realm was completely closed.
Gu Sheng and Jin'er looked at each other. There was no surprise in each other's eyes, only cold determination.
"Catching a turtle in an urn... Now, it is still unclear who the turtle is."
The corners of Jin'er's lips had a cold arc, and then he looked at Gu Sheng, his eyes becoming sharp.
"However, to kill Xiao Beixuan, it's not enough for you and me. There are at least three Human King Realm strong men guarding him. They are all minions carefully selected by the old ghost of Styx, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
I need to know your trump cards, or... how many can you deal with? "
She paused and added.
"I can hold those three kings for you so that they can't interfere. But Xiao Beixuan himself is at the pinnacle of the Human King Realm, and he carries the secret treasure given by the old ghost of Styx, and his combat power is by no means comparable to that of ordinary Human King.
You must be able to contain him, at least... you must not let him get away easily to command others. "
Gu Sheng Hearing this, his expression did not change and he just said lightly.
