Although Qiu Qinglu could ignore the life and death of this mortal.
But perhaps it was because of Gu Heng's words about "fate" that Qiu Qinglu couldn't bear to watch Gu Heng give up his life.
Anyway, the girl has reached the Nascent Soul stage and is definitely much faster than a mortal like him. It would be impossible for him to catch up with her now. Even if he could catch up with her, it would be too late.
It's better to consider how to save your own life!
After hearing this, Gu Heng still shook off her hand.
"I must find her."
He knew that Qiu Qinglu was planning to let him protect himself, but Qin Yiyao was someone he raised as a relative, so how could he just ignore her?
Besides, she certainly didn't know that she could actually become very powerful.
It's just, this kind of secret.
There's no need to tell this to someone you've only met briefly.
Gu Heng treated the system as a secret, and it was a secret that even his own son could not know!
"How can you...Ah!"
Qiu Qinglu gritted her teeth as she watched Gu Heng's back disappear from her sight.
I can't persuade him.
She felt like the veins on her head were about to explode. She had never thought it was so difficult to persuade a mortal to save his life, but Gu Heng was obviously not an ordinary mortal. However, Qiu Qinglu really didn't know where he got such confidence from.
never mind.
She herself might be at risk of sudden death at any time, so how could she take care of him?
Qiu Qinglu thought of the fierce pig demon spirit just now and frowned slightly.
If he is lucky enough, the powerful person hiding in the dark might kill all the monsters and leave him safe, but is this really possible?
Looking down, she saw the token on her waist flashing a dim light.
Without giving it any more thought, Qiu Qinglu rushed in another direction. The sect had already begun urging those who were left alone to gather.
Now the best option is to stick together.
Of course, sticking together might also attract more monsters.
But it's better than being alone and being besieged by monsters.
"I hope you can get through this difficult time..."
Qiu Qinglu sighed.
…
On the other side, Gu Heng was trying his best to get on the road.
Although he was trying his best to hurry on, the mountain terrain was extremely rugged and he could not use the magic boots. Moreover, there was a problem with using the magic boots, which was that it was easy to go too far. In addition, he had to be careful with his feet, so Gu Heng stumbled along for half an hour.
It is estimated that Qin Yiyao walked from this direction.
The spire of the ancient secret palace is getting closer and closer."Um?"
Gu Heng suddenly stopped. His sixth sense was quite sharp. He immediately took out the black bow and quiver from the system backpack and put them on his back. He put three arrows directly on the bow and became alert.
Then, several roars of beasts were heard from the gaps in the forest next to them!
Is it a monster?
Gu Heng was fully prepared. If it was a monster, the bow and arrow in his hand would definitely be useless, so he prepared a temporary experience ticket in advance.
If there is anything wrong with the situation, just use it!
Six or seven wild beasts jumped out with the roars of beasts, but they were slightly larger in size. Gu Heng looked and saw lions, tigers, wolves, and even pythons as thick as tree trunks wandering over...
So, here comes the question.
As a mortal, how should he judge whether these beasts before him are monsters that can eat cultivators, or just wild beasts that even he can deal with?
Gu Heng actually has two solutions.
The first one is the skill given by the system, "Fire Eyes and Golden Pupils". This skill can even dig out a person's background and past, and it is definitely no problem to distinguish between monsters and wild beasts.
But the only problem is that this skill has a limited number of uses, and Gu Heng doesn't want to waste it.
That leaves us with one last solution.
"call out!"
He raised his hand and shot an arrow directly at the reddish-brown lion that looked the most ferocious!
Then I saw the arrow directly penetrate the face of the reddish-brown lion, killing it instantly!
"roar!"
The sudden death of the lion made the other beasts become furious.
Gu Heng was delighted.
Well, he hasn't encountered any monsters yet, so these wild beasts are nothing but food for him!
"Bang!"
Another tiger rushed forward, but Gu Heng dodged it easily and shot another arrow with his backhand!
"Bang--"
The tiger's head was shot through and it fell straight down.
One, two...
Gu Heng became more and more excited, and he drew his bow and arrow faster and faster. These wild beasts posed no threat to him at all. On the contrary, they allowed him to practice his hunting skills that had been rusty for a long time.
However, after a short while, all the threatening beasts were shot dead by Gu Heng.
"Huh, we have to keep going."
He let out a long breath. The fishy smell all over the ground was really unpleasant.
As for those arrows, Gu Heng had no plan to retrieve them. It was important to hurry on his way. If he ran out of arrows, he could just start forging them when he returned to the clinic.
"There are so many wild animals here. What if that girl gets into danger?"Gu Heng was feeling very nervous.
"No, no! I can't just watch her get into trouble here."
All the details of his acquaintance with her emerged in his mind. It was true that the girl was a little lazy, but he was willing to pamper her. If she died inexplicably in the mountains, Gu Heng felt that he would probably be sad for the rest of his life.
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. Gu Heng simply stopped thinking about it. The most important thing was to find the person as soon as possible.
Gu Heng carried a quiver on his back and a bow and arrow in his hand, then continued to rush in the direction Qin Yiyao might be heading.
…
at the same time.
Qin Yiyao walked in the huge maze city shrouded in thick fog.
This city that has sprung up from the ground is actually in ruins. There is nothing inside, whether living or dead.
She looked at the huge palace that was so obvious even in the mist, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward.
He also wiped the blood off the sword.
On the way here just now, I encountered several monsters in the Spirit Severing Stage.
But it was actually not as difficult as imagined to deal with her. Qin Yiyao was wearing precious armor, and the sword in her hand was the masterpiece of her good master. In addition, her martial arts and bloodline were very strong.
There weren't any obstacles along the way.
Pretty good.
As expected, she didn't know how strong she was unless she tried her hand at some monsters.
When Qin Yiyao arrived outside the ancient secret palace and was about to walk inside, she found a layer of golden light film covering the entire palace that shone like colored glaze.
"Is it forbidden?"
She muttered, drew her sword, concentrated her power on the tip of the sword, and chopped it down fiercely!
"boom!"
It was as if thunder had exploded, and an extremely violent force instantly pushed her back.
However, the optical film was not broken.
Qin Yiyao frowned in distress.
There is no doubt that she cannot break the restrictions of this immortal secret realm. Gu Heng probably can do it, but since Gu Heng intends to let her come by herself, it means that now is her test.
So, what to do?
"...Um?"
In the ancient secret palace, the black shadow suddenly sat up in shock from his dying illness.
He quickly closed his eyes to sense what was happening, and was then surprised.
Has anyone arrived at the palace gate?
