Chapter 678: Even My Coffin Money Was Given
Gu Heng was a little annoyed, but not too annoyed.
It's alright, he knows he'll find a way to fix that lousy system sooner or later!
After all, the joy of knowing that he was stronger than a Xuanxian had long since outweighed his dissatisfaction with the system's underhanded tactics.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging excitement in his heart. It took him a long time to calm down. The gains from this last-minute trip were far greater than he had imagined. It couldn't be said that he had obtained any special opportunity, but rather that the task had made some progress.
Also, it lets you know your current strength level.
that's enough.
Gu Heng was also thinking that if he became an immortal, wouldn't he be much more powerful than the five so-called great guardians of the Xuan Tian Realm? He should be much more powerful!
If I round it up, it seems I've already become the strongest in the Xuan Tian Realm!
Thinking this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, his eyebrows and eyes tinged with a touch of spring.
"W-what's the matter?"
Looking at his smile, Mo Mang Xuanxian suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, an inexplicable dread, as if that smile concealed something unpredictable, extremely dangerous, and eerie.
This person's smile is anything but sunny.
His mental defenses had long been completely broken down by Gu Heng, leaving him with no will to resist. He answered whatever was asked. Although the Desert Python Xuanxian claimed to be unafraid of death, he was still somewhat afraid of dying after just coming back to life.
If Gu Heng had simply and decisively chopped him into snake pieces right away, that would have been a different story; at least it would have been a quick and painless endeavor. But after being interrogated for so long, Mo Mang Xuanxian was still answering with the hope that as long as he confessed honestly, his life could at least be spared.
Even if he cooperates like this, he'll still be killed by Gu Heng in the end...
Then they would truly die with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
"Oh? It's nothing, I just thought of something that makes me happy."
Gu Heng waved his hand and asked casually.
Since joy and sorrow are not shared, Mo Mang Xuanxian was not happy at all.
"Alright, I have nothing more to ask. Since you've been so cooperative, I won't pursue the matter of you hitting me earlier. As for anything else..."
Gu Heng pondered for a moment, seemingly deep in thought, but just then, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
He looked back.
They discovered it was the young man named Wu Zhu from before. He stumbled in through the stone gate, panting heavily, his face pale and covered in cold sweat, his eyes filled with fear.
"I made it, I finally made it..."
He repeated it twice to himself. Wu Zhu looked at his body and, seeing that there wasn't a single scratch on him, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Zhuzhen never expected this.
The small sand palace actually concealed four arrays, four deadly traps, each aimed at taking lives.
The most terrifying thing is the last formation.
As soon as Wu Zhu walked in, he could see that his flesh and blood were being rapidly ground away. His hands and feet were reduced to bones, and his facial features seemed to have been worn away. He didn't know how he had managed to get through. If it weren't for the continuous boost from the medicine in his body, which healed his injuries while the formation was wearing away his flesh and blood, thus offsetting the damage, he probably would have died eight hundred times over!
This place is a den of monsters that devour people without spitting out their bones!
Forget about any chance, Wu Zhu felt that there was probably no chance at all. All there was was a damned trap left behind by the dead Desert Python Immortal to torment the world!
But he still managed to get through the four formations thanks to the super-powerful tonic pill given to him by that kind friend.
Fortunately, it's all over.
After the main hall, there were no more traps.
Until he entered the tomb chamber behind the stone door.
"Why is it still you?"
When Gu Heng saw Wu Zhu, he immediately raised an eyebrow and said, "I gave you the pills, but you still chose to keep going. Should I say you're too persistent, or too stupid? You won't turn back until you hit a brick wall?"
Of course he recognized the guy.
I saw them less than half an hour ago.
"Thank you so much, senior, for bestowing upon me this precious elixir!"
After calming himself down, Wu Zhu immediately knelt down before Gu Heng, his face full of excitement, and said, "If it weren't for Senior's precious pill, I would have died a violent death long ago!"
"I will always remember your kindness to me, and I will repay you with my life's work without any doubt!"
senior?
Gu Heng's face darkened. Did this guy think he was some old man pretending to be young? He was still young, only twenty-one years old. He had the experience and knowledge of youth!
If this guy tries to flatter him, well, sorry, he's hit a brick wall.
However, this young man from Wu Zhu seemed very sincere and genuine, and since he didn't know Wu Zhu's identity, he called him "senior."
In situations like this, most people would address someone as a senior.
"Alright, alright, stop kneeling. But let me tell you, there's nothing here. It's a scam."
Gu Heng naturally did not intend to reveal the matter of the milky white jade. If Mo Mang Xuanxian was not lying to him, then the importance of this thing was self-evident. At least for him, it was a "key item for the mission" that could not be lost, and it was impossible for outsiders to know about it.
As for Wu Zhu, it's just a real shame.
There are no opportunities here.
Only one python with a groove is scheming, nothing more.
"Thank you, senior."
Wu Zhu stood up, his expression respectful.
He glanced at the Demon Python Immortal behind Gu Heng, his eyes narrowing slightly. He could tell at a glance that it was a demon, but in theory, apart from him and Mr. Gu, no other living creature could possibly pass through the Four Killing Formation of the outer hall.
So, where did this demon race come from?
Wu Zhu then looked at the only coffin in the tomb chamber.
"Mr. Gu, this is..."
He had a vague idea of what was going on.
"So this is the Desert Python Mystic Immortal you were talking about, but there's nothing here at all; it's a scam."
Gu Heng shrugged.
"Really? It seems that's true."
Wu Zhu didn't show much surprise after hearing this. He had already thought of this possibility, but now Mr. Gu had confirmed it. Wu Zhu was naturally a little disappointed, after all, he had suffered a lot just to see what this place had to offer.
In the end, it was all for naught.
But it's alright.
He was only here to boast and make a bet with his brothers in the family. He didn't care if he didn't get anything, but the real "freelance cultivators" outside would be furious.
He noticed it as soon as he came in: Mo Mang Xuanxian's hand had been chopped off, and Mr. Gu was still holding a knife.
Therefore, the result was obvious—the Desert Python Immortal was defeated.
"Hmph, Mr. Gu should cut off its head too, that damned snake demon liar."
Wu Zhu gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Mo Mang Xuanxian to pieces. He was almost traumatized by the traps that the snake spirit had set up outside!
"Young man, don't be in such a hurry."
"I have some things here that I can use to compensate you!"
When Mo Mang Xuanxian heard Wu Zhu say this, he also panicked a little.
It could tell that this human's strength was truly pathetic, not even reaching the level of a "Sage" in the mortal realm. So how did he manage to pass through the four formations in the main hall?
Don't think about it.
This powerful figure must have given him some kind of life-saving item, which allowed him to come here!
This means that you two are at least related.
Mo Mang Xuanxian no longer dared to treat Wu Zhu as some mortal ant. He pointed directly at the coffin, and Wu Zhu walked over and discovered that there was actually a Qiankun Treasure Bag inside the coffin!
"This is the money I left behind before I died, which I originally planned to use after I was resurrected, but this young man can take it all!"
"Consider this a small token of my appreciation!"
Without waiting for Wu Zhu to refuse, Mo Mang Xuanxian stuffed the Qiankun bag into his arms.
It seemed as if they were afraid that if they were too slow in giving it to him, Gu Heng's knife would fall.
