Hiding under the sand until it was getting dark, the Gu family not far away lit up a fire, and their voices became noisy, as if they were about to cook.

The black snake started to move, and it sank its body deeply into the sand, only showing its nostrils slightly, twisting its body, and marched slowly towards the sand pile.

Gu Jingyue had already been let go by it. She hid behind a pile of sand, looked at the Gu family several times, then calmed down, put on a mask, and walked out leisurely.

"Who!" When she was about to reach the place, a guard stepped forward to stop her, and scolded, "What are you doing?"

"What are you guys doing?" Gu Jingyue pretended to be puzzled, and looked at them, "I was on my way, and I happened to see a fire here, so I wanted to come and have a look."

"This is the land of the Gu family, no one else is allowed to come in, if you want to hurry, hurry up!"

"The land of the Gu family? This is the first time I've heard that such a remote place is also under the care of the Gu family!" Gu Jingyue sneered, "You Gu family think that all the places in Beimo belong to you!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Go, go, don't be here mother-in-law!" The guard looked at the camp several times in a panic, and turned his head to signal Gu Jingyue to leave quickly.

"I'm going to rest here today. This place should be the territory of Dongjiugou. Why do you stop me?" Gu Jingyue pretended to be ruthless, pushed away the guards, and was about to break in.

"Little girl, we really have something to do here. Can I discuss with you that you go somewhere else to rest?" An old man quietly appeared in front of Gu Jingyue. Can't see his face clearly.

Gu Jingyue's heart was pounding, and she knew that this was the unfathomable Elder Gu's that Black Snake had mentioned, but she couldn't get off at the moment, so she could only pretend to be unreasonable, "Old man, it's not that I'm being unreasonable, The land is originally for public use, so why do you, the Gu family, say it belongs to you, so others can't come? I've been traveling for a day, and I'm really exhausted, why do you let me go!"

"Then what do you want to do? Little girl." The old man had a good temper and asked slowly.

"Give me a place to come out. I'll rest there for the night and leave tomorrow morning."

"You!" The guard held the long knife and took a step forward, "Don't push yourself too hard, your lord is kind enough if he doesn't attack you." There was a bit of anxiety and advice in his eyes, as if he hoped that Gu Jingyue would leave quickly.

"What are you? I'm talking to your lord, why do you talk back?" Gu Jingyue thanked him for his kindness in her heart, but she felt that if she turned around now, she might die at the hands of this old man.

"Don't be angry, little girl," the old man smiled softly, "I'll ask someone to pack up a tent for you. Everyone who comes is a guest, so treat guests politely."

"It's better for the old man to be more sensible." Gu Jingyue snorted softly, raised her head proudly and was about to go in.

The old man made way for her, and when she walked over, he didn't follow, but took a step forward, walked up to the guard, smiled softly, then raised a pair of eagle-claw-like hands, and squeezed He pulled his neck hard, only to hear a "click", the guard looked at him in disbelief, his body went limp, and he fell down.

"Why did you kill him?" Gu Jingyue turned to look at him, frowning, "If you are dissatisfied with me, just tell me, why use your own subordinates to vent your anger?"

"Hey, miss, you're thinking too much." The old man turned his head and smiled. Facing the firelight, Gu Jingyue saw his appearance clearly, with kind brows and kind eyes, smiling eyes, few wrinkles on his face, and he seemed to be young. "I killed him because he lost his trust. He should have killed all the people close to here, but he didn't do so just now. I hate people who don't keep their promises the most, so I made him pay a small price. "

"You want to kill me?" Gu Jingyue looked at him cautiously.

"Why?" The old man looked at her, and the smile on his face changed into a reproachful expression, "I've already said, you are a guest, but... since you said you only stay overnight, little girl, then tonight I will definitely entertain you well, if you don't leave tomorrow, I don't know what will happen to you."

"...I don't hesitate to stay here with you guys!" Gu Jingyue cast a glance at him, and walked towards the camp without hesitation.

"Young girl with a bad temper." The old man murmured, and with his usual expression he ordered his subordinates to carry down the body of the dead guard and burn it.

Gu Jingyue didn't really enter the camp until she passed through several blockades set up by the Gu family.

Looking at the past, the people surrounding the huge sand pile in front of them are all members of the Gu family. They are either setting up camp or lighting a fire to cook.A big hole was opened in the sand, and many people were coming in and out of it at the moment.

But what surprised Gu Jingyue the most was that lying outside the camp was the monster that had caused great harm to their group, a huge slug covered in mucus.

It is no longer as huge as before, and the skin of its body has become dry and wrinkled, as if it has lost half of the water in its body.

A young man stood in front of it, looked at it, licked his lips, turned his head and smiled at the guard behind him, and said, "Tell me, can this thing be eaten? It still smells delicious when roasted."

"My lord, this slug is poisonous." The guard looked at him in fear, and his voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"I know, it's not that I want me to eat, but I want you to eat." The young man's brows and eyes were full of smiles, but what he said made the guard tremble.

"What are you afraid of, maybe it's delicious." The young man smiled, his eyes occasionally glanced at the camp, and he frowned suddenly, "Who is that woman?"

The guard looked back in a daze, and after searching for a long time, he saw Gu Jingyue standing impatiently in the crowd, "She, she is..."

"How could you know such a beautiful person. You can know that." The young man glanced at him and said.

"Yes, yes, I don't dare to meet such a beautiful girl." The guard, with cold sweat on his forehead, agreed again and again.

"I'm going to have a look, do you...you're going to eat this slug before I come back, do you understand?"

"My lord..." The guard's face was pale, his eyes were full of despair, "I dare not."

"If you don't keep your word, I'll throw you to Qing Zun. He's not as gentle as me?" The young man smiled maliciously, turned his head and left, "I'm doing it for your own good."

The guard looked at the huge slug behind him dejectedly, but no matter what he couldn't eat the soft thing, the two tentacles on the top of the slug's head were looking straight at him, and his scalp was numb from the cold light inside.

Swallowing, the guard slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the knife, and prepared to cut a piece from the slug.

The tentacles moved, and the slug let out a low cry, its body twisted violently, stretched out, and the mucus-laden mouth bent down, and it was sucked into the mouth suddenly.

"Ah! Ah! My lord, help!" The guard blocked the slug with all his strength, and shouted at the young man's back with tears streaming down his face.

"Tsk tsk, I've said it all. I'm doing it for your own good. If you don't eat it, it will eat you." The young man shook his head and walked over without stopping, followed by the screams of the guards and the slug biting him off. The sound of bones.

The guards of the Gu family were setting up the tent neatly, Gu Jingyue watched them intently, but her eyes were wandering, wondering what she was thinking.

She felt that she should really be grateful for those ten years of working life, which allowed her to behave so calmly at this time. She had been undercover before, and knew that if her identity was revealed, there would be various consequences, but she just pitied that little girl. The guard was gone. He wanted to remind himself, but he was implicated and died.

"Okay, girl, go in and rest." A guard handed her some water and food, looked around cautiously, and whispered: "Don't come out at night, Qingzun and his apprentices don't like people Come out at night, and tomorrow morning, the girl should hurry up and don't stay too long."

"Understood, you guys are really long-winded." Gu Jingyue rolled his eyes at him, and rejected the food he offered, "I have something to eat myself, so I don't need yours."

The guard looked at her back and smiled wryly, hoping that she would listen to his words.

This place is really weird, Gu Jingyue glanced inside the tent, and sat on the small bed they prepared for herself, with a heavy expression.

An old man who is smiling on the surface but ready to kill at any time, a group of fearful but kind-hearted guards from the Gu family, and this weird huge pile of sand. Only when she got closer did she realize that it turned out to be a square pyramid made of yellow rock. It looks like a kind of wonder building she has seen in her previous life. The people who built this building used it as a tomb to bury their kings. They have a deep-rooted concept of gods and the afterlife. eternal life.

According to what Hei Snake said, the person buried under this mausoleum should be a harmful beast, but if you add some knowledge from the previous life, then...

Gu Jingyue shook her head, and chuckled lightly, she felt that she was a demon, and she would drag the cognition of her previous life into this world.

"Whose tent is this?" A curious man's voice asked outside.

The guard replied in a low voice, "A guest just came, and Qingzun asked us to give her a ride."

"Guest? Why didn't I know we had acquaintances in this remote place?" Gu Jingyue heard him walking towards his tent with a sneer in his voice.

"My lord, no, Qing Zun said don't bother this girl." The guard's voice was trembling, but he still came up to stop him, "Dinner is almost ready, my lord, go and eat."

"Get out of the way." There was a sound of wind, and then there was another "boom", as if a heavy object had fallen, and the man's voice was filled with anger, "What are you, how dare you come here?" Stop me."

"My lord, calm down..." The guard endured the pain, looked up at him, and persuaded: "This is Qing Zun's order, why should my lord touch Qing Zun's bad luck?"

"Oh?" The man looked at him with a smile, "So you should do it for me?"

"Don't dare..."

Raising his arm slightly, the man's eyes were full of disgust, "You people in Northwest Xiaowan just like to meddle in other people's business. Since you want to save her, then don't worry about your own life."

A flame ignited from his hand. The man moved the flame back and forth in his hand like playing with a toy. He raised his eyes to look at the guard, and the flame in his hand burst out, which would kill him.

A curtain of water suddenly appeared and fell from the top of his head suddenly, extinguishing the flame in his hand. Gu Jingyue opened the curtain of the tent and walked out, sneering, "You guys are really annoying!"
