[Gu Shi: So you two are trapped in the city now?
Gu Shi: Do you want to go back? Anyway, I don't have anything to do these two days, so I can go with Shufeng to take you home.
After sending this message, it took Gu Shi several minutes to receive a reply from the two.
[Zhao Zhize: Cheng Xuqing and I discussed it and decided not to go back for the time being.
Cheng Xuqing: The main reason is that we just agreed with others two days ago to team up to complete the monster clearing mission issued by the base. It would not be nice to break the agreement suddenly, and we both want to take the opportunity to practice our combat capabilities.
Gu Shi: Oh, so you two should remember to pay more attention to your safety and carry some life-saving items with you.
Zhao Zhize: But we still have something to ask of you. Could you please run a couple of times and bring some things back to our families?
Gu Shi: No problem.
Zhao Zhize: Thank you.
Cheng Xuqing: Thank you, godfather!!
Cheng Xuqing: To be honest, although I have already reported to my family through video that I am safe, I still can't help but worry about the current situation. After all, my parents are ordinary people and don't have much fighting power.
Cheng Xuqing: Even if there is a protective shield, the monsters outside can basically not get in, but I am afraid there is a traitor inside.
Cheng Xuqing: Have you seen the previous news? The reason why Blue Star has become what it is now is because someone is secretly making trouble and secretly joining the devil.
Gu Shi: I know. I really can’t understand what they are thinking. They would rather be good people than become slaves of the devil.
Gu Shi: Then I’ll come to see you tomorrow, is that okay?
Zhao Zhize: Okay, see you tomorrow.
Cheng Xuqing: See you tomorrow, we will treat you to a big meal, so remember to save your stomach in advance!
Gu Shi: OK OK.
Since he was going out tomorrow, he had to start preparing today. Gu Shi took out a few sets of clothes from the space ring and matched them up a bit, and quickly decided on what to wear tomorrow.
After tidying up his clothes, Gu Shi picked up the staff that he had taken out along with his clothes and prepared to practice magic for a while.
He had slept for such a long time that he couldn't even control his body when he woke up. It would be terrible if something went wrong when using magic. After all, in battle, anything could be fatal.
Gently waving the staff, Gu Shi raised his hand and released one of his most familiar magic spells, the elemental shield.
The release of the elemental shield went smoothly, and the mobilization of magic power was also very smooth, but Gu Shi suddenly froze in place.
He muttered to himself in disbelief, "No way... I'm already at the ninth level? How long have I been sleeping?!"
During the days that Gu Shi stayed in the formation, he was literally sleeping. Apart from instinctively absorbing nutrients from the earth and exchanging magic power with the ancient trees, he had never practiced on his own.
Gu Shike has not yet learned to practice this advanced technique in his sleep.
But even so, his strength has skyrocketed to the initial stage of the ninth level, and Gu Shi feels that he will be able to break through soon, which is enough to show that a very long time has passed in the formation.
Gu Shi pressed his temple in annoyance. "Shh, I was so busy asking the system how much time had passed outside that I forgot to ask about the speed of time flowing inside the formation. How many hundreds of years have I slept for?"
Gu Shi didn't care about the issue of life span, he just couldn't accept his sudden increase in age.
Although Gu Shi acts as a human being most of the time, in reality, he does not belong to the human race.
Therefore, Gu Shi's life span will be much longer than that of ordinary people. Regarding this point, the system has specially explained to Gu Shi before, so that he can sleep peacefully and there will be no situation where he will not wake up.
He sighed, "Oh, forget it. Anyway, as long as I don't tell anyone, few people can tell my real age."
After hesitating for a while, Gu Shi put the matter behind him and continued to adapt to his current strength.
The next day, after saying goodbye to Gu's father and mother, Gu Shi took Shufeng out.
Since the massive invasion of monsters, all cities in Xia Country have been under martial law. In order to ensure everyone's safety, strict registration is required for entry and exit.
Gu Shi came to the nearest registration point, which looked quite deserted. Apart from Gu Shi, there were only two or three other people registering here.
In addition to a small stack of manuals on the staff's desk, there is also a large loudspeaker that continuously plays words urging everyone to think twice before acting and cherish their lives.
After Gu Shi lined up, showed his ID card and filled out a registration form, he received a wooden pass from the staff that he needed to wear close to his body.
Gu Shi carefully put the pass into his pocket, then found a relatively open place, let the north wind become stronger and carry him into the sky.
The monsters blocking the outside of the protective shield saw someone flying out from inside and immediately targeted Gu Shi. However, before they could launch an attack, Shufeng had already taken Gu Shi high into the sky and out of their attack range.
Although traveling by air is safer than traveling by land, it is also inevitable to be attacked by flying monsters.
Fortunately, Gu Shi and Shu Feng were very powerful, and several small attacks by the monster organization did not cause any harm to them at all.
Shufeng was very fast, and it didn't take long for Gu Shi to reach his destination smoothly.
The procedures for entering the city were more complicated than those for leaving. It took a little effort for Gu Shi to successfully enter the city.
When I walked out of the registration office, Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize, who had received the call long ago, were already waiting outside the door. As soon as they saw Gu Shi coming out, Cheng Xuqing rushed over excitedly.
"Gu Shi, long time no see!" Cheng Xuqing put his arm around Gu Shi's shoulders and gave him a very warm hug.
Zhao Zhize also smiled and waved at him, "Long time no see."
After saying hello, Gu Shi stared at him in surprise and asked in a tone of complete confusion, "Are you experiencing secondary growth? How did you suddenly grow so much taller?"
Originally, Gu Shi and Cheng Xuqing were of similar height, with a difference of two or three centimeters at most due to their shoes, but now Cheng Xuqing was actually half a head taller than him.
Cheng Xuqing chuckled, "This is all thanks to a gift from another world. Zhao Zhize and I accidentally got a good thing while traveling. It can improve a person's physical fitness. Increasing height is a random bonus. I'm just lucky."
As he spoke, Cheng Xuqing stuffed a small bag of five pebble-like, milky white oval solids into Gu Shi's hand, "Here, this is your portion. You can drink it after soaking it in hot water. It tastes as sweet as honey.
It is only effective the first time a person drinks it, and its effect is very mild, so ordinary people can use it."
Gu Shi accepted the gifts from the two with a smile, "Thank you."
