Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons
Chapter 456 Night Skeleton
Gu Sheng could see that the green-clothed elder was no match for Jiang Yi.
If the horn had sounded a few minutes later, the elder in green would probably have been a corpse by now.
"Elder!"
A cultivator from the Yaoguang Holy Land stepped forward and shouted.
The elder in green ignored him and walked straight forward.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a rainbow light flew over.
The rainbow light faded away, and a middle-aged man walked towards the elder in green.
Gu Sheng saw that the middle-aged man had a deep cultivation level and was not an ordinary cultivator.
When Yao Qing and other cultivators from the Yaoguang Holy Land saw the middle-aged man, they bowed to him thousands of times.
He just responded softly.
"Brother Qingyi."
The middle-aged man stepped forward and shouted.
"Junior Brother Li Yuan, I have something to discuss with you."
The green-robed elder said with a serious face.
At this time, Gu Sheng came to Yao Qing's side and asked, "Yao Qing, who is this person?"
"He is Li Yuan, the Grand Elder of our Yaoguang Holy Land, and one of the main leaders of the Northern Territory."
Yao Qing explained.
"he?"
Gu Sheng frowned slightly and couldn't help but think in his heart: "Where did he go when it was so dangerous just now? Why did he come out now?"
Gu Sheng stood aside, watching the two supreme elders talking about something. From their frowning brows, it could be seen that it must be something important.
Perhaps, they were discussing how to deal with Jiang Yi.
After a conversation, the green-clothed elder waved to Li Yuan and walked aside with the other cultivators from the Yaoguang Holy Land.
"Everyone, gather here!"
Elder Li Yuan ordered.
Upon hearing this order, all the mountain people who came here moved quickly.
It's so well organized, a world of difference from before.
Perhaps he had just witnessed the power of the wild beasts in the Northern Territory. If he did not obey orders, he would only die.
Who would think about dying in this day and age?
Elder Li Yuan stood on the rocks and looked at the gathered mountain people.
He cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Everyone, today's incident is of great importance. The conflict between the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Northern Territory Savage Beasts has affected our land. From now on, everyone must unite as one and jointly resist the foreign enemy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd began to talk.
Elder Li Yuan knew that these mountain people might be accustomed to a free and easy life.
But at this critical moment, they must obey orders, otherwise they will die.
"I emphasize it again!"
Elder Li Yuan's voice became even more severe, "Don't leave here! We will set up a barrier here. Only within the barrier will you be safe. Any unauthorized actions will be at your own risk!"
The chatter in the crowd gradually died down, replaced by a heavy silence.
They knew that Elder Li Yuan's words were not alarmist. They had already witnessed the horror of the wild beasts in the Northern Territory.
At this moment, the green-robed elder hurried over with a group of cultivators.
They held various magical instruments in their hands and began to set up barriers around the valley.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Rays of light shot out from the magic weapon.
Soon, a huge light net was formed in the air, covering the entire valley.
Not long after, the green-robed elder returned here with other cultivators.
"The barrier has been set up, everyone can rest assured."
The voice of the green-robed elder echoed in the valley.
After hearing this, most of the mountain people felt much more comforted.
However, Gu Sheng's heart was full of worries.
Because he knew that although this barrier looked powerful, it was probably as fragile as paper in front of Jiang Yi and the others.
Everyone here, including Gu Sheng, is like exposed guinea pigs, helpless and without support.
As long as Jiang Yi is willing, he may become the prey of the wild beasts in the Northern Territory at any time.
"call……"
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
He must find a way to get out of here!
……
A quarter of an hour later, Elder Li Yuan finished his speech and asked Yao Qing and the others to help these mountain people find their homes.
After receiving the order, Yao Qing, with the help of other Yaoguang practitioners, settled these hundreds of mountain people halfway up the mountain.
Of course, this place is still inside the barrier and not exposed to the outside.
Gu Sheng was placed in a position slightly higher up.
After all, he is a young man, and it is more convenient for him to come and go than those who are slightly older.
After entering the resettlement center, Gu Sheng took a look at the situation there.
This so-called residence is just a cave-like place dug out of the mountain.
It’s just that the space here is more spacious, and it can shelter us from the wind and rain, and keep us warm... so forget it.
Gu Sheng was packing up when suddenly an old man started complaining.
"Oh! I don't know if I can get out this time..."
When Gu Sheng heard this, he clearly felt that this old man had been here before.
So after packing up his things, Gu Sheng went straight to the old man.
"Uncle, have you been here before?"
The old man looked at Gu Sheng and shook his head helplessly: "I've been here before. I almost died here that time. I didn't expect to come here again."
After that, the old man sat on the stone and asked, "Young man, it's a pity for you to come here at such a young age."
"Old Li, when you came here, you were almost the same as him."
At this time, a thin middle-aged man next to him suddenly spoke.
"cut!"
Old Li waved his hand at him and said, "What do you know? I was just trying to make a living, but now it's different. There's food to eat, so who would be willing to come here on their own initiative?"
"I came here on my own initiative."
Gu Sheng said with a faint smile.
"you?"
Old Li’s eyes suddenly widened, his face full of disbelief.
Old Li frowned even more tightly.
He looked Gu Sheng up and down, as if trying to see something from this young man.
He remembered that when he first came here, he was also full of enthusiasm.
I dream of making a name for myself in this world full of mystery and danger.
But as a manager, his work became more and more complicated, and his passion was gradually eroded by the cruelty of reality.
"What are you doing for?"
Old Li couldn't help but ask.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, "I'm just curious."
"curious?"
The corner of Old Li's mouth twitched.
He felt that this reason was far-fetched: "Young man, curiosity kills the cat."
"I know."
Gu Sheng nodded and moved closer to Old Li, bringing the two closer together.
"But I don't want to live a dull life. I want more experiences and adventures."
Gu Sheng said with a smile.
"Forehead……"
Old Li fell silent.
Maybe he saw his former self in Gu Sheng's eyes and actions.
He knew that everyone had their own choices, and as an old man he had no power to influence Gu Sheng's decision.
"OK then!"
Old Li sighed and said, "But I remind you, this place is not as simple as you think. It is very dangerous inside the source mine."
"What kind of dangerous method?"
Gu Sheng's curiosity was completely aroused.
Old Li's expression turned serious and he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping.
Then he whispered, "There are some mineral sources here that are full of negative energy. Once people go in, it will be difficult to get out."
But no matter how low Old Li's voice was, someone still heard it.
Those who heard it showed surprise on their faces and stopped what they were doing.
Although they knew that the source mine was dangerous, they didn't expect it to be this serious. However, Gu Sheng's face did not show much surprise, and he just said lightly: "I see, it's nothing."
"You are such a fool, but since you have decided to stay, you should take care of yourself."
Seeing that Gu Sheng didn't seem to be afraid, Old Li couldn't help but shook his head.
Then, everyone else packed up their things and stopped talking.
As night falls, the lights in the valley gradually go out and people return to their homes one after another.
Gu Sheng simply packed his things because he planned to leave here tonight.
The most important thing is to avoid being chased by the Ji family. There is no need to waste time here.
At midnight, the chill grew.
Gu Sheng quietly left his residence and headed towards the top of the mountain.
The top of the mountain was the commanding point of the entire valley, and from there he could better observe the route to leave.
Just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Gu Sheng!"
Gu Sheng paused and almost rolled down.
He turned around and saw Yao Qing.
Her figure looked particularly cold in the moonlight, and her eyes were fixed on him.
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Sheng asked.
Yao Qing did not answer his question, but asked: "Why do you want to leave?"
"Don't worry!"
Gu Sheng replied directly.
"Speak! Otherwise, I'll take you down!"
Yao Qing said this and was about to step forward to pull Gu Sheng down.
Gu Sheng quickly dodged and said casually: "I have something I need to do."
"What is more important than your life? Didn't you see those guys from Jiang Yi during the day? If you go out, you will die!"
Yao Qing said somewhat speechlessly.
"I don't want you to worry about it!"
After saying that, Gu Sheng climbed directly to a higher place.
Yao Qing looked at Gu Sheng's stubborn back with a frown on her face, feeling helpless.
She knew Gu Sheng's temper. Once he made a decision, nothing could change it.
But she couldn't just watch him die, after all, they knew each other.
"Gu Sheng, why are you doing this?"
There was a pleading tone in Yao Qing's voice.
In this desolate northern region, she really didn't want anything to happen to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng didn't answer, but just quickened his pace.
He wanted to leave this barrier as soon as possible and break free from the constraints of the cultivators from Yaoguang Holy Land.
At this moment, Yao Qing's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, she appeared in front of Gu Sheng, blocking his way.
"Yao Qing, what are you doing?"
There was displeasure in Gu Sheng's tone.
"I can't let you go and die."
Yao Qing said coldly.
"Ugh……"
Gu Sheng sighed.
He knew Yao Qing had good intentions, but he also had his own ideas.
"Yao Qing, I know you are worried about me, but I have to go."
Gu Sheng pushed Yao Qing away and walked forward again.
Yao Qing shook her head, knowing that she couldn't convince Gu Sheng.
So, she decided to follow Gu Sheng, at least this way she could protect him for a while.
In this way, Gu Sheng continued to climb higher.
Yao Qing followed closely behind, just following silently without saying anything more.
"Hang Chih Chih..."
After a while of effort, Gu Sheng finally broke free from the barrier and came out.
Gu Sheng looked around at the pitch-black night and suddenly felt a sense of horror in his heart.
After all, it was a pitch-black night with only the sound of the whistling wind.
Those who are timid will probably find it difficult to move forward.
"Okay, go back. We'll see each other someday."
Gu Sheng said to Yao Qing who was standing beside him.
"OK then."
Yao Qing nodded helplessly.
Just as Yao Qing was about to leave, a cluster of phosphorous fire burned in front of them.
"Chichichi!"
The phosphorescent light seemed particularly dazzling in the night, as if an evil eye was staring at them.
"WTF!"
Gu Sheng was startled and instinctively wanted to mobilize his divine power to resist.
But he then realized that his divine power had been blocked and he couldn't mobilize it at all!
His heart sank and he prepared to resist with his body.
"Squeak!"
Just then, a strange sound was heard.
The phosphorescent fire suddenly condensed into the shape of a skull, with green flames dancing in its eyes, and it pounced towards Gu Sheng.
"Shh!"
Seeing this, Yao Qing drew out his sword without hesitation.
A flash of sword light passed by, directly killing the skeleton.
The spiritual power contained in the sword light instantly turned the phosphorescent skeleton into ashes.
"These are the Night Skeletons from the Northern Wilds. They feed on human essence."
Yao Qing said in a serious voice.
Gu Sheng nodded and swallowed nervously.
If Yao Qing hadn't taken action just now, I would probably have been killed.
Just then, they heard footsteps coming from a distance.
"somebody is coming!"
Gu Sheng called out in a low voice.
"It should be that the noise here alarmed the other cultivators."
Yao Qing responded quickly and said loudly: "It was the Night Skull that attacked the barrier, and Gu Sheng came to help."
The cultivators who rushed over were surprised when they saw Yao Qing and Gu Sheng, as well as the remains of the phosphorous fire skeleton on the ground.
They obviously didn't expect that Gu Sheng, a seemingly insignificant young man, could actually fight against the Night Skeletons of the Northern Territory.
"Yao Qing, you did a great job."
An elderly cultivator said.
Yao Qing smiled slightly and turned her gaze to Gu Sheng.
"We need to strengthen the barrier's protection."
Another cultivator said.
Gu Sheng didn't say anything.
Although he knew that the barriers here did need to be strengthened, he was even more aware that these barriers would not have much effect on truly strong people.
"Let's go! Let's go back!"
The other cultivators said this and started walking back.
Yao Qing glared at Gu Sheng. Although she didn't say anything, her eyes expressed everything.
Gu Sheng shook his head helplessly: "Let's go back!"
After hearing this, a smile appeared on Yao Qing's face.
Soon, everyone returned to the barrier together.
Before Gu Sheng returned to his residence, he saw Elder Li Yuan approaching.
"came back?"
Elder Li Yuan asked coldly.
"Back... back."
Gu Sheng said hesitantly.
"Elder, it was the Night Skull. It was about to attack the barrier. I discovered it and killed it with the help of Gu Sheng."
Seeing the elder's gloomy face, Yao Qing hurriedly explained. (End of this chapter)
