Chapter 344: Life and Death
Gu Zhifei was not aware of this episode.
Before leaving the next day, she went to see Tiantong Daozun, who only gave her a few brief instructions and then Gu Zhifei left.
She didn't bring much with her this time.
After all, what she was going to get this time was ambergris, not the dragon's life.
Gu Zhifei thought that she just needed to take advantage of Zhu Jiuyin's inattention and scoop out some saliva from its mouth.
After her cultivation level improved, her speed of travel became very fast. In about half a day, she arrived at the foot of Xunmo Mountain.
In fact, she has been coming here quite frequently recently and is pretty familiar with the place.
She was just standing at the edge of the abyss, dumbfounded.
When she wrote about the abyss of a thousand meters, she did not feel anything at all. But when she actually stood next to the abyss of a thousand meters and felt the wind blowing on her face unscrupulously, she realized that something was a little wrong.
No, this must go down to the center of the earth, right? Why didn't she write that Zhu Jiuyin was deep in the lava when she wrote it? Gu Zhifei was annoyed, and the whistling wind passed by her ears, which was a little bewitching. Fortunately, Gu Zhifei was determined to do the Tao, and did not feel any discomfort. With a move in her mind, she jumped up and jumped directly from the thousand-meter cliff.
If Gu Zhifei knew what happened later, he would not have acted so rashly. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.
Gu Zhifei let her body fall downwards, and it was not until she was halfway down that she realized something was wrong.
The ghost energy around him became thick and substantial, so sticky that it almost stuck to Gu Zhifei's body. The latter sensed something was wrong, and when he wanted to stop, it was already difficult for him to control his body.
By the time she managed to stop, she was not far from the ground.
She could clearly see the scene on the ground.
It is not an exaggeration to call it a hell.
Countless pairs of bony arms reached out to her, and the lava on the surface was boiling, burning her so much that she could hardly breathe.
Gu Zhifei didn't know why the place was like this. She only remembered that when she described Zhu Jiuyin's residence, she only mentioned it briefly and didn't write much about it.
After all, he is just an insignificant 18th-tier male supporting role.
His only role is to give the heroine Leng Nuan a tough time.
Gu Zhifei slowly landed on the ground, opened the barrier to avoid the white bone arm on the ground, and looked around.
This seems to be a man-made place for refining weapons.
If we ignore the bones on the ground, there is a huge cauldron not far away. There is a flame underneath the cauldron, and an ancient wooden staff on top.
Gu Zhifei slowly walked to the cauldron and reached out to take down the staff. It was unknown what the staff was made of, but it was made of two pieces of wood of the same thickness intertwined together. There was a blue crystal on the top of the staff, which shone dimly, but surprisingly made people unable to look away.
There was no one else here, so Gu Zhifei directly put the staff into his storage bag.
She could take it back and let Tiantong Daozun take a look. She subconsciously felt that this staff was not simple.
A sneer came from above my head.
Gu Zhifei looked up and saw a huge yellow light bulb.
Looking more closely, I saw that it was not a light bulb, but an eyeball.
A huge black dragon was nailed to the ground, with only half of its head able to move slightly, and it was its eyes that illuminated the entire underground.
Gu Zhifei suddenly realized why it was brighter underground than above. It turned out that Zhu Jiuyin's eyes were glowing.
Zhu Jiuyin had no idea how long he had been nailed here, and he sneered at the greedy mortal below who was ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
To him, Gu Zhifei is just an ordinary person.
If it were in the past, he would be a stinky mortal who would not even blink an eye if stepped on to death! Gu Zhifei didn't know what he was thinking, he looked up at him and suddenly asked, "Does your waist hurt?"
Zhu Jiuyin was stunned.
As a dragon, he inherited the dragon's soft body and had never thought about whether he would have back pain.
Humph, that’s why mortals are just mortals, and they only worry about their own mistakes.
Gu Zhifei said: "If it doesn't hurt, will you continue to nail it?"
Zhu Jiuyin was stunned again.
He understood all the words of this mortal, but why couldn't he understand them when they were put together? He didn't quite understand what this mud was thinking.
"Mud." Zhu Jiuyin opened his mouth and accidentally said what was in his mind, "You came here alone?"
The tone of his voice reminded Gu Zhifei of the Big Bad Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood.
So Gu Zhifei shook his head: "No, I'm just a poor man, and I was thrown down here to see if it's dangerous. If it's not dangerous, they will send a large army down to rob supplies and turn you into Candle Dragon Oil."
The yellow eyeballs that were originally like light bulbs turned into a line, indicating that its owner is now very unhappy.
So he said, "You have a point. If you die now, they won't come down."
Gu Zhifei chuckled in her heart, thinking he was joking, but she saw a huge flame spewing out of his mouth and heading straight for her.
Without even a word of warning, this violent dragon wanted to take her life!
Gu Zhifei dodged in a hurry, but his arm was still scratched by the flames.
Logically speaking, she has tamed the fire, and there are few flames in this world that can hurt her, which shows that Zhulong's strength is indeed extraordinary.
"Huh?"
In addition to Gu Zhifei, who was attacked for no apparent reason and was in a bad mood, the Zhulong hanging on the wall was also in a bad mood. He sighed softly, looking at Gu Zhifei, who was only slightly injured and standing beside him taking drugs, and frowned: "You are not dead?"
Gu Zhifei glared at him angrily.
Zhu Jiuyin found it more and more strange. Logically speaking, a mortal with such low strength should be reduced to ashes if he encountered his true fire, even if he was slightly touched.
This mortal was truly bizarre; not only was he not dead, he even had the leisure to stare at himself.
That must be because she is too idle.
Zhu Jiuyin thought so and began to spit fire crazily, allowing Gu Zhifei to experience the physical operation of the game.
By the time Zhu Jiuyin felt that there was no point in spitting fire, Gu Zhifei was no longer able to do it.
She sat down on the ground and began to think about how to get Zhu Jiuyin's ambergris.
The character Zhu Jiuyin was written as both good and evil, and Gu Zhifei didn't dislike his setting. It was just that he kept spitting fire at him, and even though he didn't dislike it, he began to dislike it.
She originally thought that maybe she could take Zhu Jiuyin away, but now she felt that she should let him die of old age here.
"Can't you transform into a human form?" Gu Zhifei asked him tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jiuyin became more and more impatient when he mentioned this matter. He opened his mouth and spit twice, but no flame came out, so he had to give up.
"Whether I transform into a human form or not is none of your business."
Seeing him resisting like this, Gu Zhifei remembered that Zhu Jiuyin seemed to be a handsome man in human form, and he smiled and said, "You don't have enough spiritual power now, so you can't transform into a human form. Can you only transform into a baby?"
Zhu Jiuyin was furious: "You vulgar people, how dare you slander me like this? I will never let you off!"
As he spoke, he coughed a few times, and a few sparks came out, burning a few holes in the mud near Gu Zhifei's feet.
Gu Zhifei couldn't help but laughed.
"Oh, you ignorant scum."
Faced with Gu Zhifei's ridicule, Zhu Jiuyin was so angry that he transformed into a half-grown child of about sixteen or seventeen, who looked about the same age as Gu Zhifei.
The child he transformed into had no innocence in his eyes, only contempt. His eyes were slanted and his lips were red, which was a very ostentatious beauty.
It really is the standard of appearance for a male supporting role.
It’s a pity that Zhu Jiuyin didn’t know what Gu Zhifei was thinking, otherwise he might have vomited blood and died.
Gu Zhifei turned his mind and came up with an idea: "You are forcing yourself to transform into a human form, but there is actually nothing inside, right?"
Zhu Jiuyin really took the helm: "What do you mean?"
"For example, you have no human organs, or no teeth."
Zhu Jiuyin's face flushed at what Gu Zhifei said, and he retorted: "You don't have teeth, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Seeing that he was very emotional, Gu Zhifei flew up to the humanoid Zhu Jiuyin and said with his head down:
"If you have the ability, show me."
Zhu Jiu was so angry that he actually opened his mouth and showed his teeth.
Seeing this, Gu Zhifei kicked out one of Zhu Jiuyin's fangs and picked it up.
Collecting saliva or something, how can it be faster than collecting a tooth? When the time comes, let Daoist Handan scrape it, there will always be ambergris.
Furthermore, Zhu Jiuyin has a very strong regenerative ability, so losing a tooth is no big deal for him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It was indeed not a big deal. But Zhu Jiuyin felt that Gu Zhifei's move was not very harmful but extremely insulting.
He spat out two mouthfuls of flames with force, trying to burn two holes in Gu Zhifei's clothes.
Gu Zhifei didn't care about him. She picked up the tooth from the ground and planned to leave quickly.
Senior Sister Zhiyu was still waiting for her to save her, so she had to leave quickly.
As for Zhu Jiuyin, he should just wait here for his destined person.
Gu Zhifei controlled his energy and stood up, then placed himself on the barrier.
She fell down, stood on the ground and looked up in confusion. It was strange. She didn't notice the barrier when she came down, so why would it have an effect when she went up? Gu Zhifei didn't believe it, and continued to fly up, but still hit the wall.
She had no choice but to take a closer look and found that the formation was related to the chains that bound Zhu Jiuyin.
Speaking of which, Zhu Jiuyin is also unlucky.
A black chain passed through his shoulder blade, rusted and bloodstained, it looked painful.
But he looked nonchalant, as if he didn't take the injury to heart.
Gu Zhifei looked at the chain, feeling a little troubled.
If he wanted to get out, he had to untie the chains, but untying the chains would inevitably release Zhu Jiuyin.
Given Zhu Jiuyin's bad character, nothing good would happen if I let him out.
But if she didn't remove the chains, she would have to stay here forever. Not only would she have to face the black dragon all day, but Senior Sister Zhiyu outside might not be able to hold on for too long.
Gu Zhifei thought that he still had to open Zhu Jiuyin's chains. But releasing such a giant beast would be very dangerous.
We need to find a way to have the best of both worlds.
Looking up at Zhu Jiuyin, the young man's face was still unruly, and his eyes were filled with contempt for everything.
Gu Zhifei asked: "Since you are so strong, who has the ability to nail you here?"
If she could find that person, perhaps she could find a way to deal with Zhu Jiuyin.
When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Jiuyin was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and he said with anger: "What does it have to do with you?"
Judging from his reaction, the person who hit him hard was probably not very famous.
Gu Zhifei probed again: "In fact, our outside drama also said that your strength is weaker, so you are at a disadvantage."
"Nonsense!" Zhu Jiuyin gritted his teeth, "If she hadn't used such insidious means, would I have been sealed here? Bah! You guys are no good!"
Underhanded tactics? Her?
The image of a person gradually emerged in Gu Zhifei's mind.
She asked Zhu Jiuyin: "Did that man use two daggers?"
"How do you know?" Zhu Jiuyin was surprised, with a strange look on his face, "Are you her descendant?"
Gu Zhifei did not answer this question.
Zhu Jiuyin has been pressed underground for many years and is very insensitive to the passage of time. It is normal for him to feel that he has been locked up for a long time.
Zhu Jiuyin saw Gu Zhifei's avoidance as his consent. His eyes suddenly changed from yellow to red, and just as he was about to spray her with flames, he heard the latter say:
"She almost destroyed my sect."
This statement is half true and half false.
Her sect did disintegrate because of Leng Nuan, but there was no bloodbath in the sect.
However, to Zhu Jiuyin's ears, it sounded like Leng Nuan had massacred her sect in blood.
Looking at Gu Zhifei, he didn't feel much, not even a word of comfort:
"I'm not as skilled as others, there's nothing I can do about it."
Gu Zhifei looked at him calmly and said sarcastically, "That's right. You are also inferior to others in skills. What are you complaining about?"
Zhu Jiuyin was speechless. This is the truth, but it can't be said like this.
She was not strong enough, she was just inferior in skills. I was just a trickster, and I was inferior in tricks!
"You are so sharp-tongued. I can't argue with you." Zhu Jiuyin snorted, "You can only fend for yourself."
As he said this, he crossed his arms, looking as if he didn't care about anything.
Gu Zhifei looked at him and decided to send him a message.
She said, "Do you want to go out?"
Zhu Jiuyin opened his eyelids and looked at her: "Nonsense."
Gu Zhifei: "If you want to go out, listen to me, and I will ensure that you will be free and easy for the rest of your life."
Zhu Jiuyin did not reply this time. His pricked-up ears revealed his true thoughts.
Gu Zhifei said: "Strike while the iron is hot: "If you establish a life-and-death bond with me, I will let you go."
Zhu Jiuyin frowned and didn't agree immediately.
Gu Zhifei was not in a hurry. He found a clean place, bent his legs and waited quietly.
The knot of life and death is a plot in the novel.
In the novel, Zhu Jiuyin and Leng Nuan forced themselves to sign a life and death knot, intending to live and die together.
So Zhu Jiuyin saved Leng Nuan time and time again.
This is the innate skill of their dragon race, which most people don't know. Zhu Jiuyin thought of this, opened his eyelids and looked at Gu Zhifei, and when the latter turned his eyes to him, he said "OK".
It didn't take long for Gu Zhifei to get the answer he wanted.
While Zhu Jiuyin was drawing the runes, Gu Zhifei was also drawing the formation diagram at the same time.
Gu Zhifei was not at ease with Zhu Jiuyin.
Life and death is good, but sometimes accidents happen. For example, when Zhu Jiuyin died, Leng Nuan didn't die? With an extra layer of protection, there will always be no problem.
