At the beginning of the sun, the earth has just had a faint sunshine, but in the small seaside town, it has already begun to be lively.

Crowds of people coming and going are shuttling through the small cities, most of them go shopping or selling something very early, or when the sun rises, the temperature outside can make people dizzy alive. At noon, it was almost deserted again, with only a few people walking outside, and it continued to be lively until the afternoon of New Year's Eve, when the weather was slightly cooler.

Gu Zheng, who had just entered the city, walked through the crowd while frowning and looking around, as if they were looking for something.

There are not only human beings in the whole street, but also all kinds of monster races that have completely turned into human bodies. Most of them are sea races, and only some weak monster races are here. It is a long-lost and rare place of harmony, as if the two Under a certain balance, it becomes a neutral city.

Whether the city is big or small, after a brief stroll, the two of them randomly found a nice restaurant and stopped, and found a place by the window to sit down.

The brows on Gu Zheng's face have not yet fallen, and he has maintained this state since he came in, watching the flow of people outside, coming and going, not knowing what he was thinking.

After Mengzhen randomly ordered some things from the side, seeing Gu Zheng's appearance at this time, she couldn't help persuading him.

"Maybe the other party is just using his talent to hide and won't disappear. As long as we search more, we may be able to find the trace of that Xiangxiang."

"I also want to think so, but the traces left along the way suddenly disappeared after entering the third city here, and then never reappeared, so it doesn't make people worry." Gu Zheng looked back at her and smiled wryly. After a while, you must know that there are only these three cities within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

Apart from the three cities, except for some small villages, there are no more people to be seen. It seems that these monster races along the way for the enjoyment, did not know where the population was captured, and it has developed to this day.

However, the human beings here, except for those who have not practiced, live a good life outside, and Gu Zheng didn't play these new things too much. After all, whether it is the monster race or the sea race, there are good and bad. In my opinion If there is no excessive matter, he will not ask, and he has more important things to do.

In fact, he was not because of that blue sea, but worried about Xiangxiang himself. That blue sea followed all the way here, and after only a few days, it evaporated directly from time.

Although the opponent's cultivation base is not strong, but his life-saving skills are top-notch, and he will not take the initiative to attract others' attention. How could he disappear for no reason without leaving any traces? What's more, he still has Gu Zheng in his hand. The life-saving things she left behind were hidden and she didn't tell him. If his life was really in danger, he would be teleported away, at least thousands of miles away.

In other words, if the opponent has no chance to activate, the opponent's strength is not inferior to his own. On the other hand, even if he activates, he will not escape the pursuit.

No matter which one, the opponent is very powerful, at least he is not afraid of himself, so if the opponent has evil intentions, then Xiangxiang may be caught by the opponent.

Even if it's just a guess, Gu Zheng feels a little restless when he thinks about it. After all, he sees her as his younger sister, so he is naturally very worried.

All the dishes have been served, but Gu Zheng is not in the mood to have a bite, just drink a sip of wine, watching the flow of people outside, and continue to think of a way.

"Gu Zheng, don't worry, that demon god was dealt with by the ancestor, and you don't have any burden, why don't you practice more time and improve your cultivation base, so that no matter what the other party encounters, it will be easy to solve. "Meng Zhen was comforting at the side, but saw that the other party didn't seem to listen, and then said.

"It's better to ask the people nearby. Didn't Lan Hai say that there is a force nearby who has just moved in here, no matter how bad it is, there are nearby monsters who can inquire about it. It is impossible that there is no trace left."

"right!"

When Gu Zheng heard it, he suddenly realized that he was a fan of the authorities, and immediately slammed the table, making a loud noise, if Mengzhen hadn't protected him in time. Almost knocked the table apart.

"What's the matter, you two, isn't the food delicious? I'll take it off and start over right away."

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of other people, even Xiaoer who had been scrambling above hurried over and said courteously.

Not to mention that this is a high-end restaurant, but there are fewer humans nearby than the monsters. If you accidentally get into trouble, no one can save you, so there is no dissatisfaction when seeing this place.

"It's okay, I just remembered something suddenly, you go down first!" Gu Zheng waved the other party back casually, and then continued to talk to Meng Zhen about the method he thought of.

"I didn't see those ordinary people before, but also some unsatisfied sea people. At noon, they stayed outside in a special place. We can go there to ask."

"Excellent, I also think that the lower level knows more than the higher level, and besides, no one has been found here." Meng Zhen agreed very much.

If you want to talk about strange news, and those rumors, the locals who have been here all the time don't know.

"It's still early, we'll wait here for a while and go out at noon."

Gu Zheng turned his head and looked out the window. At this time, the temperature had started to rise, but there were still many people still running outside, so he made a decision immediately.

After noon, the scorching sun had distorted the surrounding air, and the roiling heat waves could be clearly seen inside.

There is a formation in this place, but it is very cool. After getting some money from a sea clan without knowing it, he put it down and walked out.

"Two friends, it's hot outside now, it's better to stay here."

When they had just arrived downstairs and were about to go out, a man who looked very heroic was near the door, saw the two of them, and immediately said aloud.

Gu Zheng could tell at a glance that the other party was just an ordinary Sea Clan with a five-star cultivation base at most, so naturally he couldn’t be exposed to the sun for a long time outside. Like other Sea Clans, he just came to this city to eat, drink and have fun. After all, there is nothing so interesting under the sea. thing.

They brought some food or more precious things from the sea to pay for everything they needed here. Of course, if they had money, they would bring some pearls or the like to pay for it.

They just said that they don’t have to worry about food and drink, they are safe and secure, and it’s useless to ask for these things. As for other things, they don’t have to think about it. Even so, they are already very satisfied, and they have been here for generations, so they have long been used to it.

"Thank you, I still have some things to do here, a little sunshine outside will not hinder." Gu Zheng replied kindly, and left here with Meng Zhen.

"Wu Xie, I haven't seen how perfect the other party's transformation is. He must be different from us. Naturally, don't worry about the outside world. What kind of trouble have you made?" The companion who was sitting with him laughed after waiting for Gu Zheng to leave. .

He originally wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he was a little meddling, so he stopped talking, just smiled, and raised the water glass in front of him, which contained their favorite water wine of the Sea Clan.

"drink!"

After Gu Zheng went out, he immediately walked towards the outside of the city. The streets were basically in a state of depression, except for a few that were still open, protected by formations and not worried about the scorching heat outside, the others were completely exhausted. Close the door, like a dead city.

There was no one making trouble here, and naturally there would be no one guarding the door, Gu Zheng walked out unimpeded all the way.

There are several huge man-made lakes outside, covered by a magic circle to block the scorching heat outside. Some sea people are inside the lakes, and the surroundings are all humans resting here, and there are hundreds of people around each one.

This is the time to eat, and men, women and children are all eating meals that have been prepared near the lake. The space here is large enough for men, women and children to hide here.

For an ordinary family of six, the old man did as usual. After taking his place, he put the food he brought on the grass. After unpacking, he greeted his family and began to eat.

He has entered middle age, retired a few years ago, has a simple ration subsidy, and some filial piety from his son and daughter-in-law, and has begun to enjoy the blessings. What makes him even happier is that in a few years, they You can leave here, and then here will give them a lot of valuable things, enough to live outside for a lifetime.

"Father, we can leave in two years. At that time, Jiang'er was only five years old, and he could finally leave here." At this time, his son said excitedly after eating the food in his hand.

"What's so good about going out? I didn't listen to the people who came from outside. I can't get in here if I want to. Why do you suffer outside? My mother is here to leave happily. It's not so good outside." Wiping off the residue from the corners of his child's mouth, he said with some disinterest when he heard his own words.

"What do you know? Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing here, there is no freedom at all. If you don't think about yourself, don't you think about Jiang'er." The old man said immediately after hearing this.

"But the outside world is scary, how safe it is here." The daughter-in-law lowered her head and muttered something, but they didn't hear clearly.

"Brother, excuse me."

The old man doesn't need to listen, he knows what the other person thinks, he will never let his grandson stay here, he has freedom even in danger outside, that's better than anything else, the woman knows security, and was about to say a few more words, suddenly heard A very pleasant figure came, and when he turned his head, a young man was standing here, looking at him with a smile.

"Brother, you just came here from the outside. Don't be afraid. You won't kill people casually here. If you have anything to do, just sit down and let's get out of the way." The old man said enthusiastically, and at the same time said to his daughter-in-law .

His daughter-in-law glanced at Gu Zheng, then lowered her head and hugged her child in her arms, and moved a little to the side, revealing a seat big enough for one person to sit on.

"Thank you, big brother!" The young man opened his mouth, smiled at the old man, and sat here without politeness.

"It's all right, we're here to help each other. Since we're here, there are no outsiders." The old man was very enthusiastic, and he handed over a red unknown cabinet fruit, "You're welcome to eat it."

"My friend, it looks like you've only been here for a few days, right?" the old man's son looked at the young man and couldn't help asking.

The clothes that the other party has just come in are ugly and ugly, but they are very tough. They are usually worn by the people who come in. The other party has to wear them near the lake for several days. After receiving simple knowledge indoctrination, they will wear them. put it in.

"Yes, I've only been here for three days, and I'm still living there. I just walked around and saw that my elder brother is kind, so I want to ask more questions." The young man took a bite of the fruit, felt the juice wriggling in his mouth, and swallowed it. Said.

"If you have any doubts, just ask." The old man stopped and spoke directly.

"I came here because of me. I don't know where there is any taboo. Just now I heard someone say that it is very scary in the south, and now people are not allowed to go there. I am very scared." The young man stopped eating the fruit and put it on On the side, there was a trace of worry on his face.

"Haha, you really don't have to worry about this. You won't go out here for a long time, but because it's close to the seaside, most people are not allowed to go there. It's just that you think too much." The old man smiled heartily.

"So that's how it is. I was shocked. I heard outside that this place is very safe and there is basically no danger. I am very lucky to be here." The young man relaxed and said with a sigh of relief.

"Of course, with the protection of the Sea Clan, even though I'm just working as a servant with the other party, I don't have to worry about food and clothing except that I don't have freedom." The old man still agrees with this point very much.

"Father, didn't you say a while ago that an outside force came here a few years ago? It still conflicted with us. In the past, you could go to the west side, but now you are no longer allowed to go there." The old man's son suddenly said.

"It seems to be the same. The old man can't remember clearly, but don't I remember that he has been here for more than ten years?" The old man stroked his sparse hair and said uncertainly.

"I remember hearing about the other party when I was a child. It's been decades." The old man's daughter-in-law said affirmatively.

"It's been a hundred years, and I saw it with my own eyes at that time." Her son stepped on her thigh, raised a hand, and said excitedly, as if he had really seen it with his own eyes.

"Nonsense, come down for me, you should go to bed." The child's mother immediately turned her attention to her child, hugged him horizontally, and let him lie in her arms, mainly because the grass was still too hard.

"I really forgot the specific time. We don't count the specific time here, but it has been for a long time. It seems that there is a very powerful force. I can still see them in the city occasionally. I just know that the other party is not weak. Even the nearby Hai Clan can't drive them away." The old man's son thought for a while and said.

"What is driving away? It's giving the other party something eagerly, as if begging the other party to do something. This is the news I heard by chance, but it has nothing to do with us. Just do your own thing. There is no intersection with the other party. Don't worry. .”

"So that's how it is!" The young man stood up thoughtfully, "Thank you for telling me, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep, I can't leave there for too long, I should go back."

"When you can enter the city, remember to visit my house." The old man stood up enthusiastically, invited Gu Zheng, and gave his address at the same time, "We will leave in two years, and we will find someone to meet at that time." We can't take any pictures."

"sure!"

After leaving here, the young man walked to a place where no one was paying attention, and then the whole figure disappeared suddenly.

In the distance, the figure of Gu Zheng appeared, and found that Meng Zhen had returned.

"Did you hear anything?"

Because of Gu Zheng's request, Mengzhen guarded the surrounding area here, and did not go in together.

"That mysterious force knows a little bit, but they don't know about other things. They almost don't leave the door and don't go out. They don't know much about the outside news. It seems that they are going to find the Sea Clan and that mysterious force. " Gu Zheng said in a deep voice.

Among the crowd, he not only inquired with the old man's family, but basically brought back the general information, although it was very messy, at least he had a general understanding.

Lan Hai disappeared after the second city. There is no trace of the other party in this city. The most likely possibility is that he was borrowed halfway. Of course, it is not ruled out that he found some information and did not have time to leave a disappearance notice, but the probability is too small. He directly ruled it out.

"Then let's go to the Sea Clan first. The other party has patrolling guards. We can inquire first." Meng Zhen suggested directly.

"Well!"

As for the nearby guards, they were actually just a few Sea Clans in the early stage of the Golden Immortal Stage. Those who wandered nearby, with their cultivation base, were not afraid of even the hottest weather.

"who!"

As soon as he appeared in front of a patrolling guard, the sea tribe reflexively took out his weapon and shouted at them.

"Don't get excited, we have something to ask." Gu Zheng didn't approach, but just looked at the other party not far away. The other party seemed to be very nervous, so he couldn't stir his nerves.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was not hostile, the guard of the Hai clan immediately put away his weapon after checking his cultivation, and his expression became respectful.

He has already sensed the aura deliberately exuded by Gu Zheng, so he naturally knows how heavy his small body is.

"I don't know what the two seniors have ordered."

"I'm here to look for a friend who disappeared here a few days ago. I searched all over the area but found no trace of him. I want to ask if anything special has happened in the past few days." Gu Zheng straight to the point Said, don't want to waste time.

"It's really not a big deal these days. I'm sure of this, but now, both our people and some humans will disappear inexplicably. We have strengthened our security, but we still haven't found the reason." The guard thought for a while, Said with certainty.

"Is it possible that it is the new force?" Meng Zhen asked quickly from the side.

"The other party probably won't do this, but I'm not sure. It seems that our commander has reached an agreement with the other party. We don't have much conflict."

"Then can you introduce your leader, I want to know why my friend disappeared." Gu Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course there is no problem. Please invite the two seniors to follow me."

Looking at Gu Zheng's intentional or unintentional dangerous aura, he naturally would not be ignorant, even if he was still guarding the vicinity, he did not care about his responsibilities, and flew towards the deep sea with Gu Zheng and the two of them.
