Chapter 345: Going astray
Gu Zhifei's formation is a very basic contract formation.
Zhu Jiuyin was a monster and was also unfamiliar with formations, so he didn't notice what Gu Zhifei had randomly drawn with a broken branch.
Even if he knew, he would probably just laugh at Gu Zhifei, saying that it was simply a pipe dream for him to want to contract him.
He, a famous ferocious beast from ancient times, could she, a piece of mud, make a contract with him just by wanting to?
Zhu Jiuyin had his own plans. After making a life and death oath, he dripped a drop of blood from his fingertips.
He saw Gu Zhifei secretly wipe out some blood and felt a little disapproving.
Greedy humans indeed.
It's just a little bit of blood, but I still want to take some.
But it's not her fault. After all, everything on her body, from her blood to her scales, are top-quality medicinal materials. It's not shameful for her to take the opportunity to keep some.
Gu Zhifei didn't know what he was thinking. He saw his formation light up with golden light and then dim, and he felt happy in his heart, thinking it was successful.
Now that Zhu Jiuyin was imprisoned here, her cultivation strength was not as strong as before, so she did not spend much spiritual power to complete the contract.
Gu Zhifei looked at Zhu Jiuyin with a bit of sympathy. The latter thought it was a look of admiration, and unconsciously raised his head, becoming even more arrogant.
Looking at his silly look, Gu Zhifei began to doubt whether there was something wrong with what he had written.
From the moment she entered this world, she found that everything she described with all her might seemed unsatisfactory.
"I will help you remove the seal now. After it is removed, you will come out with me."
Gu Zhifei said this, looking at the huge seal.
There are several ways to remove the seal, the simplest one is to break it violently.
This was also Gu Zhifei's first method of elimination. How could she break the seal that even Zhu Jiuyin himself couldn't break?
So, apart from this method, the only options left are to break through the key points or destroy the energy source.
A good seal is similar to a formation. It has a main axis and a substance that provides energy.
These two things are the key. As long as we can find them, we can remove the seal.
Gu Zhifei didn't have the energy to slowly look for where the main axis was, so the last method was left.
She followed the energy that surged into the formation and discovered that the energy was coming from the center of the chain.
And the center of the chain is Zhu Jiuyin.
Seeing Gu Zhifei looking at him with malicious eyes, Zhu Jiuyin felt a little uneasy.
He said, "Why are you looking at me with such strange eyes? Stinky mud."
Gu Zhifei said slowly: "The energy source of this seal is you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhu Jiuyin felt that he couldn't understand.
"Just, just hold on for a while. I will find a way to remove the chains on you."
What does it mean to die for a while? Zhu Jiuyin couldn't even close his eyes: "Can you die for a while? You die for me and let me see!"
Gu Zhifei ignored him.
Monsters have the self-preservation skill of feigning death. Zhu Jiuyin is also a kind of monster, so of course he also has this skill.
It’s just that Zhu Jiuyin prides himself on being noble and refuses to admit it.
He refused to admit it and kept cursing, but he actually stopped breathing very quickly.
In just half a minute, his breathing became inaudible.
Gu Zhifei watched as the chain connections began to fall apart due to lack of energy. However, if he wanted to completely destroy the seal, he still needed to cut off the golden lock hanging on the top.
Gu Zhifei originally wanted to use the Phoenix Tail Gilded Boring Rod to cut the golden lock, but suddenly an idea flashed through his mind, and he took out the newly acquired magic wand from the storage bag.
She urged her spiritual power, intending to test whether she could use it, but she didn't expect that her spiritual power would perfectly match the staff and merge into the crystal on the staff.
Suddenly, a bright light shone, instantly filling the entire underground. Not to mention Jinsuo, even Zhu Jiuyin was almost melted by her.
Zhu Jiuyin woke up in extreme danger and only had time to cast a protective barrier on himself.
He raised his hand to cast the spell, and it took him a while to react, then he looked down at his hand.
His hands were free to move.
The chain had broken into three pieces, and nothing could stop him from leaving! Zhu Jiuyin was overjoyed, and he jumped up, glanced at Gu Zhifei who was sitting there exhausted, and said goodbye to him politely: "Mud! See you later!"
As he spoke, Zhu Jiuyin ran away like a fish entering the sea.
Gu Zhifei gritted his teeth, knowing that he was an unreliable guy, but at least he didn't add insult to injury, so at least his life was not in danger.
As soon as Gu Zhifei finished thinking this, he felt something grabbing his foot.
When he looked down, he found it was a pale arm, and he was stepping on the top of its head.
Gu Zhifei quickly lifted his feet and wanted to say something to cover up his embarrassment, but found himself falling into a pile of bones.
All the skeletons that originally had only arms suddenly grew human skin and crawled out from the ground.
This scene was like countless Sadakos crawling out of the ground. It was so horrifying and terrifying that it was impossible to look at it directly.
Gu Zhifei didn't want to look directly at him. She wanted to control her Qi and leave directly, but the attack just now almost exhausted all her strength.
This place is too deep. It is easy to go down but difficult to go up. She doesn't have enough physical strength and can't go up at all.
Gu Zhifei simply gave up the idea of leaving here on his own.
She took out the Tianji Plate, poured spirit stones into it, activated the contract, and pulled Zhu Jiuyin down from the sky alive.
Until he fell into the mud, Zhu Jiuyin still didn't understand why he was summoned down.
In order to save energy, he had already transformed into a dragon. Now he was lying in the mud like a black snake, looking somewhat funny.
Gu Zhifei climbed onto the dragon head and decided to ask him to take him away.
But after she urged for a long time, Zhu Jiuyin did not give any response.
He seemed to be resting and didn't move at all.
"Hey! Are you dead?" Gu Zhifei had no choice but to shake his dragon horn.
Zhu Jiuyin blinked and responded: "I don't have much cultivation left, otherwise, do you think you can control me so easily?"
Gu Zhifei thought about it and asked him with a last glimmer of hope: "So you can't fly anymore?"
Zhu Jiuyin nodded resignedly, and reminded Gu Zhifei: "Because you lifted the seal, the other ghosts here will also escape, you see--"
Following his gaze, Gu Zhifei saw a monster with an ox-head and a horse-face walking out from the mountain wall, and then saw a fish-shaped monster with a big mouth poking out.
Gu Zhifei was panicking inside, but he looked calm on the surface.
She grabbed Zhu Jiuyin's horn and said in a high voice: "We are grasshoppers on the same rope. If you are not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
After saying this, Gu Zhifei felt very insecure.
Who knows if Zhu Jiuyin, an ancient ferocious beast, has any hidden treasures.
As long as he has one of them, Gu Zhifei will be in trouble.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Me?" Zhu Jiuyin couldn't help but laugh when he heard Gu Zhifei say that. "Of course I'm not afraid of them. What level are they? Even if I use my body to resist, I won't be weak at all. But you..."
Zhu Jiuyin looked at her with ill intentions and smiled: "That's hard to say."
Gu Zhifei felt that he had some ill intentions, but he had no way to refute what he said.
Compared to monsters, humans are indeed extremely fragile creatures.
If I didn't use a barrier or a spell to kill such monsters, I would have probably eaten them to the bone.
Gu Zhifei was recovering her spiritual power while using the barrier, but unfortunately her spiritual power seemed to be rather thin. She tried hard to recover for half a day, but could not recover even 20% of her original spiritual power.
Zhu Jiuyin seemed to be watching the fun. Long's face was full of smiles, and his mouth was almost split to his ears.
Gu Zhifei was watching the fun, but he was not very happy in his heart. He complained, "Since we two will live and die together, can you help a little instead of just watching? Otherwise, what good will it do you if I die?"
Zhu Jiuyin nodded, thinking that Gu Zhifei was right.
So she turned sideways and threw Gu Zhifei off her dragon and into the pile of bones.
Thank you so much! Gu Zhifei thought to himself, and felt that he might as well not ask Zhu Jiuyin for help.
Who could have thought that he was such a petty-minded guy, and that he wanted to kill me just because I mocked him a few times.
Seeing her fall into the evil spirits, Zhu Jiuyin did not try to rescue her. Instead, he sneered and said, "This is your revenge for pulling out my tooth."
Gu Zhifei had already lost most of her spiritual power, and even after practicing hard, she still couldn't recover. She didn't bring too many pills with her this time, so she didn't use much of the spiritual pills.
Gu Zhifei secretly swore that if she could leave here alive in the future, she would definitely bring a dozen or twenty bottles of nourishing pills every time she went out, just in case. After all, she didn't want to suffer a loss like this again.
The ghosts and monsters around her instantly submerged Gu Zhifei like a tide. Gu Zhifei only felt a sharp pain in her body. But in a moment, she completely lost consciousness.
Zhu Jiuyin originally wanted to tease her for a while. At most, he wanted to throw her into the ghost world to scare her. He didn't really want to kill her.
After a while, Zhu Jiuyin felt that it was about time, so he used his tail to shake off the ghost and planned to drag out the embarrassed Gu Zhifei.
But she looked around but couldn't find any trace of Gu Zhifei.
Could it be that this mud really turned into mud? Zhu Jiuyin thought about it and found it funny. It seems that ordinary people are ordinary people, and they can't cope with such low-level ghosts.
Zhu Jiuyin didn't think she had done anything wrong. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, lack of strength was the original sin. Could it be that he was guilty of turning over and throwing Gu Zhifei into the ghost world? To put it bluntly, it was because she herself was not strong enough.
Zhu Jiuyin thought about this and began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing. He was originally a demon beast, and these ghosts were nothing but child's play to him, just tickling him. He was not yet afraid of these ghosts. Only fragile humans who relied on external forces to practice would be so vulnerable.
For example, the mud, the messy formation, the messy pills, the messy talismans. You see, in the face of the sudden change, she couldn't spare any strength to deal with it. In addition to turning into ashes, the only fate was to turn into dust.
Zhu Jiuyin wanted to sneer, but after a while, he couldn't laugh anymore. He stared at a huge rune formation under his feet. It seemed that there was no such thing here before. Could it be that this was another thing made by that human cultivator? He shook his head and thought it was unlikely. He had seen the cultivation level of that human cultivator before. This rune formation was different from those he had seen before. It was impossible for that lowly human cultivator to draw it.
Could it be that during his years of seclusion, someone else had come here? Zhu Jiuyin thought this possibility was very high. He looked down at the formation with interest and fell into a deep sleep for some reason.
When Gu Zhifei woke up, her hands were covered in blood and a female cultivator who was probably in the Qi training stage was lying on the ground.
The female cultivator was almost only breathing in and not exhaling.
She couldn't be saved.
Gu Zhifei's sensitivity to danger these days made her immediately look around. She saw a male cultivator hiding behind the bushes, staring at her.
Gu Zhifei almost immediately realized that she was framed. Without saying a word, she reached out and grabbed the male cultivator's neck in her hand.
It was at this time that Gu Zhifei discovered that his arms were not what they used to be.
The arm was thin and small, like the arm of a little girl of seven or eight years old, and did not look like what he had looked like when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.
No, sixteen or seventeen? When did I become sixteen or seventeen? Gu Zhifei thought to himself.
Could it be that just a life scared her like this? Gu Zhifei instinctively felt that she shouldn't be like this, but she couldn't tell how she should be.
She never thinks about things that she can't figure out, and only focuses on solving the current troublesome problem.
"How dare you treat me like this?" the male cultivator said, "Do you believe it? I'll tell my father to beat you to death, you bastard who came from nowhere."
Gu Zhifei dug out a little bit of recollection from the few pitiful memories in her mind and confirmed that what the male cultivator said was true.
She was an orphan who was picked up. She was raised in this mansion just because she was more suitable to be a furnace tripod.
The male cultivator's father might not kill her immediately, but might let Gu Zhifei make the cauldron plan in advance.
Damn the furnace. Gu Zhifei felt very angry for a moment.
So she angrily broke the male cultivator's neck to prevent future trouble.
She had already had a feud with this family, and it would not change at all because of these two murder cases. Whether she admitted her mistakes or gave in, her final fate would be the same: to become someone else's furnace and achieve someone else's avenue.
Instead of doing this, it is better to kill others and walk your own path.
Gu Zhifei thought, since he was going to die anyway, he might as well die more beautifully.
Sitting there and waiting for death is not her style.
After hiding the bodies of the two monks and taking away their storage bags and magic tools, Gu Zhifei walked down the mountain in a carefree manner, taking the token of the male monk and deciding not to come back again.
