Gou's Liver Experience in the World of Demons and Demons

"It's absolutely true. One of my senior brothers died because of this last time."

Gu Sheng frowned slightly. He had never heard that the Azure Dragon Plate would attract monsters.

But looking at Pan Zhuang's confident tone, it doesn't seem like he is lying.

He secretly observed Pan Zhuang's expression and found that although the other party's tone was sincere, his eyes were flickering.

"In that case, just throw it away."

As Gu Sheng spoke, he casually threw the Qinglong card into the bushes in the distance.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao did the same.

Pan Zhuang had a satisfied look on his face and immediately began to plan his actions.

"I suggest we split up. I'll cover the rear, while Junior Brother Gu Sheng and Junior Brother Ling will assist us and approach the cave entrance from the front. Senior Brother Yu, the five of you will surround the cave from both sides to prevent ambushes by humans or monsters."

Yu Tianyi frowned.

"Why do we have to divide it up so finely? Wouldn't it be safer to act together?"

Pan Zhuang shook his head.

"The terrain of this cave is complicated. If we act together, it will easily alert the things inside. It is best to act separately and take care of each other."

Gu Sheng noticed that when Pan Zhuang said this, his fingers unconsciously rubbed the jade pendant around his waist, which was a sign of nervousness.

His heart was filled with alarm, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Just do as Junior Brother Pan said."

Everyone had no more objections and began to disperse according to the plan.

Gu Sheng and Ling Xiao slowly approached the cave entrance, and the dead branches and leaves under their feet made a slight sound.

Gu Sheng took every step extremely cautiously, secretly observing his surroundings.

The top of the mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, and one could vaguely sense a powerful aura lingering there - that was the mysterious and powerful being who sat in charge of the Xuanming Divine Mountain.

Gu Sheng was afraid that his secret would be discovered by the other party.

"Be careful."

Gu Sheng reminded Ling Xiao in a low voice.

"I don't feel right."

Ling Xiao was about to respond when he suddenly slipped and broke a dead tree. He staggered forward a few steps before he could steady himself.

"Shh!"

Pan Zhuang lowered his voice and shouted from behind.

"Keep your voice down!"

Yu Tianyi, who was far away, saw this scene with disdain in his eyes and secretly cursed Ling Xiao as a waste.

Gu Sheng supported Ling Xiao and found that his palms were full of cold sweat.

"what happened to you?"

Ling Xiao shook his head, his face turning pale.

"I don't know. I just suddenly felt... very uneasy."

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the cave entrance not far away. The dark entrance was like a huge mouth ready to devour anyone, emitting a cold breath.

Finally, the three of them arrived at the cave entrance.

Pan Zhuang pointed to the depths of the cave, his voice filled with excitement that was hard to conceal.

"Look over there, something seems to be glowing!"

Gu Sheng looked in the direction Pan Zhuang pointed, but saw only darkness.

Just as he was wondering, he suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind!
"careful!"

Gu Sheng reacted very quickly and pushed Ling Xiao away, but he was hit on the back by a huge force and flew forward.

"Pan Zhuang, you——"

Ling Xiao's angry roar came to an abrupt end, and he was blasted into the cave by a palm.

Pan Zhuang stood at the entrance of the cave, his face no longer showing the previous gentleness, but instead a twisted fanaticism.

He quickly formed seals with his hands, and spiritual patterns flew out from his fingertips, interweaving into a large net at the entrance of the cave.

"seal up!"

Pan Zhuang gave a low shout, and the spiritual pattern solidified instantly, turning into a transparent barrier that sealed the cave entrance.

There was a dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground in the cave, followed by Ling Xiao's angry roar.

"Pan Zhuang! What do you mean?"

Pan Zhuang turned a deaf ear to him, took out a blood-colored jade pendant from his arms, bit his finger and dripped blood on it.

The jade pendant suddenly glowed red, resonating with the seal at the cave entrance and strengthening the formation.

"Junior Brother Pan! What happened?"

Yu Tianyi's voice came from a distance, and he and Jin Xianyun and others were rushing over here.

Pan Zhuang quickly put away the jade pendant and an anxious look returned to his face.

"Oh no! Gu Sheng and Junior Brother Ling were dragged into the cave by a monster that suddenly rushed out! I tried my best, but I still couldn't save them!"

"what?"

Yu Tianyi was horrified.

"Now what?"

Pan Zhuang shook his head in pain.

"The monster has set up a restriction at the cave entrance, and it cannot be broken in a short time. We...we can only go back and ask for help first."

Jin Xianyun's face was pale.

"What about Gu Sheng and the others?"

"Life and death matter."

Pan Zhuang said in a deep voice, but there was a sense of satisfaction in his eyes.

"It's no use for us to stay here, we should go back and get help as soon as possible."

Yu Tianyi hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

"That's all it can do."

The group left in a hurry, and no one noticed the sinister smile on Pan Zhuang's lips when he turned around.

Inside the cave, Gu Sheng got up from the ground and brushed off the dust on his body.

"Gu Sheng, are you okay?"

Ling Xiao's voice came from the side.

"No problem."

Gu Sheng said calmly, his eyes penetrating the darkness and looking at the seal at the entrance of the cave.

"Panzhuang has prepared the Seven Absolute Soul Sealing Formation very well."

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth.

"That bastard! I should have seen that he had bad intentions!"

Gu Sheng did not respond, but looked around carefully.

The cave was much more spacious than expected, and some glowing mosses were faintly visible on the rock walls, providing faint light.

There is a decayed smell in the air, mixed with some medicinal fragrance?

"Sacred Infant Grass"

Gu Sheng suddenly understood something and sneered.

"I see."

Ling Xiao was puzzled.

"what?"

"Pan Zhuang's target is not Jin Xianyun at all, but the Holy Infant Grass."

Gu Sheng analyzed calmly.

"He deliberately made us lose the Azure Dragon card and designed for us to take the lead, just for this moment."

After Pan Zhuang's figure disappeared into the woods, he stopped and leaned against an ancient tree, his chest heaving violently.

"I was actually frightened by the look of an outer disciple?"

Pan Zhuang smiled self-deprecatingly and slapped his face hard.

"How ridiculous!"

He calmed down. As a core disciple, his cultivation had reached the early stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm, which was many times stronger than Gu Sheng, the boy who had just entered the inner sect.

The momentary uneasiness I felt just now must have been an illusion.

"Humph, you'll know how powerful I am in a moment."

Pan Zhuang said this coldly, waved his hand, and flew into the depths of the woods.

At the entrance of the cave, Ling Xiao clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

"Gu Sheng, why didn't you let me take action just now? With our strength, it would be easy to take down Panzhuang!"

Gu Sheng's expression was calm, but his eyes were as deep as the abyss.

"Panzhuang's strength is not worth mentioning, but this is Xuanming Divine Mountain."

He looked up at the ceiling of the cave.

"That powerful being may be watching us. It is not wise to reveal our strength too early."

Ling Xiao frowned.

"But are you just going to let him go?"

"Let him go?" Gu Sheng sneered.

"He will regret his choice soon enough."

As they were talking, there was a loud "boom" suddenly coming from deep in the cave. The whole cave shook slightly and rubble fell from the top of the cave.

"coming."

There was a gleam in Gu Sheng's eyes.

"Pan Zhuang's plan is indeed related to this monster."

Ling Xiao looked stern.

"He deliberately lured us in to feed the monster?"

Gu Sheng did not answer, but walked deeper into the cave.

"Follow me closely and don't fall behind."

The two men walked along the damp corridor, and the smell of blood became increasingly stronger in the air.

After turning a corner, the view suddenly opened up - a huge underground cave appeared in front of us.

In the center of the cave, a gigantic monster was pacing back and forth anxiously.

It looks like a giant wolf, but has three eyes, is covered with blue-black scales, and has a row of sharp bone spurs on its back that flash coldly.

The most eye-catching thing is the hideous wound on its abdomen, which is still oozing dark red blood.

"The early stage of the Heavenly Palace Realm, a three-eyed scaly wolf."

Gu Sheng recognized the type of monster at a glance.

"He was seriously injured, and only 30% to 40% of his strength remains."

The monster sensed the human presence and turned around abruptly, staring at Gu Sheng and the other man with its three blood-red eyes.

When it found that the intruder not only did not run away, but was commenting on it, it became furious.

"Roar--!"

There was a deafening roar, and the sound waves swept in with a domineering force, and the rubble on the cave wall was shaken and fell down.

Gu Sheng stood still and waved his hand lightly, and an invisible barrier blocked all the sound waves.

Although Ling Xiao was prepared, he was still knocked back two steps by the aftermath and his face changed slightly.

"Gu Sheng, this beast is not easy to deal with, let's join forces"

Before Ling Xiao finished speaking, he saw Gu Sheng walking forward.

"No need."

Gu Sheng's tone was flat.

"Stand back so you don't get splashed with blood."

The three-eyed scaly wolf became furious when he saw that this human dared to approach alone.

It raised its front paws, its sharp nails grew three feet long, and it slapped Gu Sheng on the head with a scream that tore through the air!

The power contained in this claw is enough to smash an ordinary Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator into meat paste!

Gu Sheng didn't even blink.

Just as the wolf's claws were about to touch his head, his figure suddenly blurred -

"Shh!"

A green afterimage flashed by, and Gu Sheng appeared above the scaly wolf's head.

He didn't know when a jade-like long sword appeared in his hand, and a faint halo was flowing on the sword.

"In your next life, remember to watch carefully before you act."

Gu Sheng said calmly, slashing down lightly with the jade sword in his hand.

"Pfft!"

The sound of the blade piercing flesh was particularly clear in the cave. The jade sword cut through the wolf's protective aura, hard scales, and thick skull as easily as cutting tofu.

The sword blade cut through the center of the wolf's head and went all the way down until it stopped in the chest.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

"boom!"

The huge wolf corpse fell to the ground with a loud bang, and blood gushed out from the wound like a fountain, instantly dyeing the ground several feet in radius red.

The three bloodshot eyes were still open, but had lost all their luster, leaving only unbelievable fear frozen in them.

Ling Xiao stood there in a daze, his mouth opened unconsciously.

He knew that Gu Sheng was very strong, but he didn't expect him to be this strong - he could kill a Heavenly Palace Realm monster with one sword, even if the monster was injured. This was too exaggerated!

"Let's go and see what it is guarding."

Gu Sheng shook off the blood drops on the sword as if he had just crushed an ant to death.

The two men stepped over the wolf corpse and walked deeper into the cave.

Deep in the cave, the purple-red Holy Infant Grass trembled slightly in Gu Sheng’s palm, emitting a chilling aura as if it had life.

The cold air pierced into the skin like a needle, but it made Gu Sheng's mouth curl up with satisfaction.

"This Yin Qi is three times stronger than the rumors say."

Gu Sheng clenched his five fingers and held the spiritual herb firmly in his palm.

"It seems that there is hope of breaking through the second level of the Nine Dragons Heaven and Earth Art."

Ling Xiao kicked the monster corpse at his feet out of boredom. The huge body had become stiff, and the dark red blood had soaked the land within a radius of ten feet, emitting a strong fishy smell.

"This trip was not in vain."

Ling Xiao curled his lips and glanced at the spiritual weapons scattered around.

"Although these scraps are useless, at least you got what you wanted."

Gu Sheng nodded slightly and carefully put the Holy Infant Grass into the specially made jade box in his arms.

There were complicated runes engraved on the surface of the jade box. Once it was closed, the oppressive yin energy was completely isolated.

"Pan Zhuang and the others should be here soon."

Gu Sheng suddenly spoke, his eyes looking towards the cave entrance.

Ling Xiao heard this with a playful look in his eyes.

"Those bastards have been waiting outside for so long. I'm afraid they thought we've been torn to pieces by that beast, right?"

“They will be disappointed soon.”

Gu Sheng sat down cross-legged with his hands on his knees, and the spiritual energy in his body began to circulate slowly along the route of the Nine Dragons Qiankun Jue.

"Take a moment to calm down and prepare to welcome the guests."

Ling Xiao chuckled, sat down on the monster's corpse, took out a wine gourd from his waist and took a sip.

"I want to see what expressions those guys would have when they see this scene."

Outside the cave, Pan Zhuang and his group of five were moving forward cautiously.

The ground beneath my feet became softer and softer, and I sank a little with every step I took, making an uncomfortable gurgling sound.

"Is this blood?"

Jin Xianyun suddenly screamed and raised her feet, the soles of her shoes were covered with dark red sticky liquid.

Yu Tianyi squatted down, dipped a little with his finger, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, his face suddenly changed.

"It's monster blood! And it's very fresh!"

Pan Zhuang's heart skipped a beat and he quickened his pace.

"Go! Something's wrong!"

The five people didn't bother to hide their bodies and ran as fast as they could towards the depths of the cave.

As we went deeper, the blood on the ground became thicker and thicker, until it almost became a blood swamp, and blood splashed with every step.

The soil beneath my feet made an unsettling, sticky sound, and every step felt like stepping on rotting flesh.

Pan Zhuang's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the light of the torch in his hand swayed in the humid air, casting distorted shadows of everyone on the wall of the cave.

“Something’s wrong”

Pan Zhuang murmured quietly, and a strange touch on the sole of his boot made him stop.

Yu Tianyi behind him almost bumped into him.

"what happened?"

Pan Zhuang did not answer, but slowly lowered the torch.

Under the orange-red firelight, the ground, which should have been earthy brown, now glowed a strange dark red, and the sticky liquid reflected a disgusting luster under the firelight.

"Is this blood?"

Jin Xianyun's voice trembled a little, and she subconsciously took a half step back. The edge of her embroidered shoes was already covered with dark red liquid.

Pan Zhuang squatted down, dipped a little with his finger, and put it to the tip of his nose.

The strong smell of rust instantly rushed into his nose and his face changed suddenly.

"It's blood! It's the blood of a monster!"

"how is this possible?"

Yu Tianyi cried out.

"What kind of monster can have so much blood? Unless..."

"Unless it is the seventh-order blood-patterned python guarding the Holy Infant Grass."

Pan Zhuang's voice was dry and there was fear in his eyes.

"But who can kill it?"

A chilly wind blew from the depths of the cave, and the torch shook violently, almost going out. (End of this chapter)
