Gu Shi didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the three people behind him. After leaving the swamp, he observed the direction and flew with them to where Wu Jingshan was.

"Uncle Wu, I'm back!" Gu Shi greeted Wu Jingshan from a distance.

Wu Jingshan, who was originally anxious, immediately raised his head and looked over when he heard Gu Shi's voice. After discovering the three sculpture-like clay figures following him, his eyes quickly turned red.

"Siyue! Lao Xu! Lao Hu! I'm glad you're all okay, I'm glad you're all okay!"

Wu Jingshan's voice was trembling, and it sounded as if it was about to break. He didn't care about the mud on Wu Siyue's body at all. When he saw Wu Siyue fall to the ground, he immediately rushed up and hugged him.

Wu Jingshan hugged Wu Siyue's frail body, stroking his head as he asked, "Siyue, are you okay? This is all my fault. If I hadn't asked everyone to separate and investigate, you wouldn't have to suffer this time..."

Wu Siyue interrupted him immediately, "Dad, what are you talking about! This is not your fault at all. We are not absolutely safe after entering the space rift. It is normal to encounter accidents.

Besides, look at me, I'm fine now, right? Don't blame yourself. If we really want to talk about right and wrong, then I should also be responsible.

I'm an adult now and should be responsible for my own actions. Ultimately, it's because we weren't vigilant enough that we fell into the enemy's trap."

Xu Kai and Hu Pinliang on the side also came over to persuade him.

"Siyue is right. Old Wu, you don't have to take the responsibility for this matter on yourself."

"That's right, you've fulfilled all your obligations as captain. We don't blame you."

The four of them gathered together and expressed their feelings for a long time.

Gu Shi did not disturb them. He turned around and faced the swamp, silently thinking about other problems.

…

"Hours? Hours!"

Wu Jingshan called out several times in succession, and seeing that Gu Shi was still in a trance, he simply walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you thinking about? You look so lost in thought."

"Ah, Uncle Wu. Nothing, I was just thinking about what happened just now." Gu Shi came back to his senses this time. He smiled at Wu Jingshan and asked, "Are you guys done talking?"

Wu Jingshan nodded. "Thank you so much for this. Siyue just told me that if it weren't for you, with his body, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer in that situation."

"Thank you so much!"

As he spoke, Wu Jingshan bowed ninety degrees to Gu Shi.

"Hey!" Gu Shi was startled and quickly went over to support him, saying, "This is what I should do. After all, Siyue is my brother. Uncle Wu, you don't have to be so serious."

Seeing that Wu Jingshan wanted to say something more, Gu Shi quickly changed the subject, "Uncle Wu, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we get out. Siyue and the others just came out and are still very weak. Let's send them back quickly.

Besides, Uncle Xu and Uncle Hu have been missing for so long, their families must be very worried, so they should go back and report that they are safe and sound!"

Gu Shi's plan was very successful. After hearing what he said, Wu Jingshan, who was worried and confused, immediately followed his ideas.

"You're right, we should go out first." Wu Jingshan looked a little annoyed. He was really excited at the moment and didn't think of this for a while.

"Then let's go."

Gu Shi shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, please go first. I still have some things to do."

Wu Siyue remembered that Gu Shi had been staring at the swamp just now, and asked with some suspicion: "Could it be that Brother Gu Shi still wants to go under the swamp? Did something fall?"

Hearing this, Wu Jingshan worriedly advised him, "It's dangerous underground. If it's not something important, don't go back. Uncle Wu can buy you another one later."

"That's not the case. I want to stay for another reason."

Gu Shi explained with a hint of helplessness, "Don't you think that Siyue and the others' disappearance this time exudes a suspicious atmosphere from beginning to end?"

Wu Siyue immediately understood what Gu Shi was referring to, "Indeed, this is the first time I've encountered a monster that would lock humans up. According to normal logic, we should have been killed long ago.

I had some suspicions before, but I didn't think much about it because I was in a bad situation at the time. Now I see that everything is really suspicious."

"Brother Gu Shi, are you going to find out the truth about this matter?"

Gu Shi smiled and shook his head, "I don't intend to spend so much energy on this matter."

Wu Siyue asked in surprise: "Then why are you staying here?"

Gu Shi replied nonchalantly, "I'm going to tear this place apart. As long as I kill all these monsters, they won't be able to use any tricks or schemes they have."

There is a saying that is very true, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just paper tigers.

Gu Shi didn't believe that after he plowed the area, there would still be any hidden dangers left.

Normally, he might have chosen a gentler approach, but he had been running around so much lately and hadn't had time to rest at all. Furthermore, he had learned so much shocking news not long ago...

With all these things piling up together, Gu Shi always felt that there was an inexplicable anger in his heart, and now he could take this opportunity to vent it.

“Uncle Wu, if you’re in a hurry, please leave first.

If you're not in a hurry, you can wait for me. I don't think it will take long to clean up this place. I can even use magic to take you there, saving you the injured from having to travel on your own."

Wu Jingshan and the others looked at each other and quickly decided to wait for Gu Shi to leave together.

Thinking that the noise here might be a bit loud later, Gu Shi first placed the four of them somewhere a little further away.

"Just wait here for me. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. Siyue, do you still have the defensive items I gave you just now?"

Wu Siyue nodded.

Gu Shi continued, "Okay. If you encounter any danger along the way, everyone should stay with Siyue. The props will protect you."

After explaining all this, Gu Shi came to the sky above the swamp again.

Looking at the swamp that was still bubbling, Gu Shi raised his staff without hesitation and started with a powerful move.

Magical light shot out from the staff, and white cold air gushed out along with the ice, spreading across the swamp like a tide at an astonishing speed.

Wherever the cold air passed, the originally muddy ground was quickly covered by a thick layer of ice. The bubbling mud gradually solidified under the erosion of this extreme cold force, and finally became as hard as iron.
