Chapter 1019 Blood Barrier
Gu Hao still smiled but said nothing. Instead, he used the dripping blood to draw a circle with a radius of five meters around them. Then he made some finger gestures and drew randomly in the air. Then, a blood-colored barrier appeared around the two of them...

Although Song Jiang didn't quite understand these things, he could see that Gu Hao was using his own blood to set up a barrier. However, in this place, no matter how powerful the barrier was, it could only hold out for a while, not forever.

But for some reason, Song Jiang felt that Gu Hao didn't seem to be worried about this at all. Instead, he said to him lightly, "Don't worry... Just wait in the circle. I believe that person will show up by then."

Song Jiang was confused. "Who? Do you have any friends here?"

Gu Hao continued to smile but did not answer. He then sat on the ground with a confident look on his face. However, he almost fell backwards because he had no strength left. Seeing this, Song Jiang quickly sat down with him back to back and leaned his body's center of gravity onto his own...

Time passed minute by minute, and the group of evil spirits surrounded them like a tide. Fortunately, there was a blood barrier to block them. No matter how anxious those guys were, they could only stand outside the barrier and stare blankly.

But as more and more evil ghosts gathered around, the evil ghosts that first surrounded the barrier were squeezed against the barrier by the evil ghosts that kept pouring up from behind. In the end, they were squeezed alive and turned into meat paste. Song Jiang felt nauseous when he saw it.

Fortunately, the blood barrier set up by Gu Hao was very solid. No matter how many thousands of evil spirits surrounded it, it did not move at all. This made Song Jiang secretly sigh in his heart that Gu Hao's title of human devil was indeed well-deserved...

"After we get out...what do you want to do?" Song Jiang suddenly asked out of the blue.

Gu Hao thought about it, then said in a deep voice, "I don't know...I haven't thought about it."

"If... I mean, if this body is no longer useful, what kind of new one do you plan to find?" Song Jiang continued to ask tentatively.

Gu Hao smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it... whatever I can catch up with is fine, right? I don't have any requirements for these things. In fact, all these years I have been using the method of offering bodies instead of taking bodies. I will help those who are dedicated to saving lives to fulfill their wishes in exchange for their bodies to continue to live."

After hearing this, Song Jiang asked curiously, "How important is this wish? You are willing to exchange your life for it?"

"Most of them are for revenge... Of course, there are also those who want to prolong the lives of important people. Human nature is indeed very complex, but it is not entirely selfish and greedy. There is also love and gratitude." Gu Hao said in a deep voice.

Song Jiang thought for a moment and asked, "If your body is really failing this time, after you get a new body...will you still look for Deng Kai?"

Gu Hao was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect Song Jiang to ask this question. He hesitated for a while before speaking, "I don't know...it depends on fate. If we don't meet, forget it. There's no need to force rescue."

"It seems that you have let go of the things in the past." Song Jiang said with a smile.

Gu Hao nodded and said, "We have experienced life and death so many times, how can we not let it go? Be it gratitude or hatred... that's it."

Afterwards, Song Jiang and Gu Hao talked about many topics they had never talked about before. Gu Hao, who was usually not very talkative, became talkative. In this atmosphere, the two gradually ignored the dangers outside the barrier and talked about many things with their hearts for the first time... Until Song Jiang gradually felt that Gu Hao's body seemed to be getting colder and colder, so he gently touched his right arm and said, "Are you cold?"

But this time Gu Hao did not answer. Song Jiang's heart sank immediately. He turned around and saw that Gu Hao had fallen asleep. A bad premonition rose from the bottom of Song Jiang's heart. He put his finger on Gu Hao's nose in disbelief, but found that he was dead...

For a moment, Song Jiang could not accept the fact that Gu Hao was dead. After repeated confirmation, he slowly laid down Gu Hao's body. Even though abandoning the physical body was something he had expected from the beginning, when he really had to face it, he still felt indescribable pain in his heart.

At this time Song Jiang hurriedly looked around, trying to find Gu Hao's soul, but he found nothing after searching for a long time. Just when he was at a loss, the blood barrier around him gradually disappeared with the death of Gu Hao's body... It was also at this time that Song Jiang realized that the reason why this barrier was so strong was because it was set up at the cost of consuming Gu Hao's life.

As the blood barrier disappeared, thousands of evil spirits rushed towards Song Jiang. Seeing this, Song Jiang slowly closed his eyes, waiting for the moment of death...

Who would have thought that at this critical moment, a blue light fell from the sky and hit the barrier directly. The surrounding evil spirits moved away like the receding tide...for fear of being unable to avoid it.

Song Jiang did not wait for the expected death, and slowly opened his eyes, only to see Meng Zhe standing in front of him with an angry face. His expression was not much kinder than the evil ghost before...

"You... why are you here?" Song Jiang asked in surprise.

Meng Zhe tried his best and said in a cold voice, "How dare you ask me why I came? If I hadn't come... you would have been eaten by these people without leaving anything behind."

Song Jiang didn't have time to ask too many questions when he heard this, and quickly asked Meng Zhe to see if Gu Hao could be saved? Meng Zhe reached out and felt around his neck, then said in a deep voice, "The blood and qi are gone... He can't die any more."

After hearing this, Song Jiang looked around and asked, "Where is his soul? Why can't I see his soul? Could it be that he was eaten by those evil spirits?"

Meng Zhe snorted after hearing this, "After he died, he turned into a ghost and naturally had a place to go... But he died in the wrong place, so there is definitely no way for him to get out. He should be happily swimming in the hell with other ghosts now."

When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately said anxiously, "What should we do? If Gu Hao can't get out, then he will sooner or later become one of those monsters!"

"Are you scared now? What were you doing before? You two are really brave. You actually dared to sneak into the underworld without my knowledge?! It's okay to sneak into the underworld...but you have to come to this hell? Are you crazy?!" Meng Zhe scolded angrily.

When Song Jiang thought of the tortures that Gu Hao was about to suffer, he didn't want to delay for even a second, and immediately said to Meng Zhe with a smile, "Why don't we go save him first? You can vent your anger after you find him... Okay?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe said with a gloomy face, "It doesn't matter... It's okay to go a little later. Aren't you going to tell me the purpose of your trip?!"
