On the land of thousands of ravines, a figure was walking quickly through the sky.
After leaving Mo Datou, Gu Chen went to give some instructions to the war ghost, and then left the ancient city of Lukang and headed towards the depths of the Deep Demon Sea.
Ever since he learned that his father was not dead, Gu Chen's heart was full of expectations, but at the same time he was also a little worried, fearing that in the end it would be all in vain.
Therefore, he was eager to go deep and find the next clue as soon as possible.
He already knew the approximate location of the monks at Evil Ridge from Mo Datou, and planned to go directly to find them and ask about the original situation.
Combining the clues given by the two of them, Gu Chen has now concluded that his father first collected a large amount of materials through the Feng Mo Hall and refined a large number of "Heaven and Earth" scrolls, and then traded with the Evil Ridge to let them lead the way to the Deep Demon.
Deep in the sea.
All the things he went to great lengths to do were incompatible with Gu Chen's impression of his father, which indirectly proved that the weird things Gu Lianyue and Gu Shiming said about his father were true, which gradually made Gu Chen start to make speculations in his mind.
Going all the way to the depths of the Deep Demonic Sea, Gu Chen was no longer confused about the direction, because there were faults everywhere along the way, and the terrain was generally downward.
The surface of the earth is devastated, and the vitality of heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, as if there is a bottomless pit in the depths, sucking it away.
The strange thing is that the surrounding gravity is slowly increasing, which may not be felt deeply by other people, but to Gu Chen, who practices sky-induced earthquakes, it is as conspicuous as a firefly in the dark.
Gu Chen was surprised. The last time this happened was when he entered the Gu clan's ancestral land, but the gravity was weaker then, but now it is stronger.
What happened?
He suppressed the curiosity in his heart and moved forward at high speed. Along the way, he saw many monks returning from the depths.
They often come in groups and move in a hurry, some of them are like frightened birds, as if they have been stimulated by something.
They didn't even look at Gu Chen, they just focused on going their own way. Occasionally, from their conversations, you could hear words like "ancient corpse".
Gu Chen ignored these people and walked alone. However, in the next three days, such monks appeared one after another, as if they were fleeing on a large scale.
His expression gradually became serious. He had heard about ancient corpses haunting the depths of the Deep Demonic Sea more than half a month ago, but at that time it was just a drunken conversation among the demon cultivators in the tavern, but now, he has witnessed it with his own eyes.
caused consequences.
The demon cultivators in the Deep Demonic Sea have been living on the edge of knives all year round and have experienced countless dangers, but now they are fleeing due to the mysterious appearance of ancient corpses.
This was an eventful autumn, and Gu Chen realized that it might not be the right time for him to come to the Deep Demon Sea.
After running around for days, Gu Chen gradually entered the depths, and the long rift zone in the distance came into view.
In the depths of the Deep Demonic Sea is a long and narrow winding rift valley. If the Fairy Continent was compared to a giant, this rift valley would be like a scar that is difficult to heal on the giant's body.
The end of the Rift Valley is the infamous Tiankeng Eye. Some say it is the entrance to hell, while others say it is the end of the world.
Gu Chen didn't care where that place was, he only knew that he was almost reaching the place where the monks were at Wicked Ridge.
According to Mo Datou, they should be stationed near the entrance of the rift valley now.
On the horizon, Gu Chen saw a person.
It was a disheveled guy, dressed in simple clothes, walking unsteadily on the ground.
Gu Chen immediately flew towards him.
Although the people in Wicked Ridge are near the entrance to the Rift Valley, the area here is still too big and it is too troublesome to find them. Since you meet people, asking for directions is the easiest way.
"This fellow Taoist..."
Gu Chen just stopped in front of the other party and was about to ask, but his words stopped.
Because he saw a pair of dark green, soulless eyes.
Hidden under that messy hair is a rotten and smelly face, and even under the other party's quaint clothes, you can vaguely see the gloomy white bones!
Gu Chen took a deep breath, but before he could react, the ancient corpse in front of him pounced towards him!
Although this person had been dead for a long time and was unconscious, as if by instinct, energy fluctuations were triggered in his attack.
Gu Chen didn't know the details of this weird thing, so he raised his hand casually, and the golden flying knife cut it off at the waist.
Its body was broken into two parts, but surprisingly, the two parts were still squirming, trying to crawl towards Gu Chen.
This thing looked really disgusting. Gu Chen flicked his fingers and two rays of real sun fire fell on the corpse, burning it to ashes before it finally stopped.
"Is this the ancient corpse that the demon cultivators are afraid of? Although it's a bit weird, it seems to be pretty strong."
Gu Chen said in deep thought, he strengthened his vigilance, stopped taking off, and just walked on the continent, walking hundreds of feet at a time.
Along the way, Gu Chenlu encountered several more ancient corpses one after another, wandering aimlessly on the ground.
He found that the strength of each ancient corpse was different. The weakest one was like the one he met at the beginning, but the stronger ones seemed to retain a little consciousness, and there were obvious traces of spells in their moves.
"Young man, what are you doing alone in a place like this? I wonder if everyone is running outside now, why are you hiding in a dangerous place instead?"
Finally meeting a living person on the road, an old man couldn't help but ask Gu Chen.
"I'm looking for the monks from Wicked Ridge. Have you ever seen them?" Gu Chen told him frankly.
"People from Wicked Ridge?"
The old man shook his head when he heard this, "Dead, dead, I'm afraid they are all dead. A few days ago they encountered a wave of corpses. We ran away when we saw them from a distance. Although we don't know their situation, they are definitely in danger!"
"Where were they at that time?" Gu Chen's eyes lit up.
The old man pointed out the way for Gu Chen and gave him good advice. "Young man, don't go swimming in this muddy water yet. The strength and number of ancient corpses are definitely far beyond your imagination, and there will be more and more."
"Where did these ancient corpses come from?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
"It is said that those who run out from deeper places are from the eyes of the tiankeng! That is the entrance to hell, and these ancient corpses are messengers sent by hell and will bring disaster to the world."
"The Deep Demonic Sea has been cursed. I want to escape from this place as soon as possible. I won't tell you anymore. Please take care of yourself!"
After the old man finished speaking, he ran away. An old man who had seen countless ups and downs in his life had this kind of attitude. One can imagine how serious the disaster of ancient corpses was.
Gu Chen set off again, heading straight to the place where the old man said the monks from Wicked Ridge were killed.
Broken flesh and bones and white bones gradually appeared on the road, which were the monks who had been killed earlier.
The old man was right. The number of ancient corpses that Gu Chen saw gradually increased. At first they appeared individually, but soon they formed groups of twos and threes.
The auras revealed by some ancient corpses were so strong that he felt troublesome and could only avoid them.
Ho ho!
Boom boom boom!
There was the sound of a fierce fight in the distance, and Gu Chen's expression perked up. This place was not far from the area the old man mentioned, and it was very likely that the person he met was a monk from the Evil Ridge!
