Cloud sinking [rebirth]

Gu Xun's throat moved, his expression a little dry, and he explained the reason to Qi Jinglin and the others.

It's not that he hasn't carefully checked the reliability of the news, but that the traps set up by people with ulterior motives specifically for him are too precise, one hundred secrets and one sparse, and he, Gu Xun, is not a perfect person, so he fell into the hands of his trusted brothers.

"My beast form is a mammoth. If you want to increase the chance of success in the promotion, it is best to have the beast core of the same form of alien beasts, but there are not many such alien beasts, let alone ninth-level alien beasts, which are even rarer. , but I got the whereabouts of the ninth-level mammoth beast more than a year ago. It was a mammoth that had just been promoted to the ninth level. , It took more than half a year, and after careful arrangements, the mammoth was finally ground to death, and of course we paid a considerable price."

"So, City Lord Gu's later news came from the same group of people. The first success made City Lord Gu lower his vigilance and brought people over to take a look for himself. However, there was no chaos in Huangsha City after City Lord Gu disappeared. It can be seen that City Lord Gu also made some arrangements before leaving, and did not let the person who betrayed the City Lord succeed." Qi Jinglin speculated.

Gu Xun nodded. In his opinion, no matter how dangerous the place is, he can escape with his eighth-level strength and pay some price. It's just that he never expected to enter such a dead place, and no matter how he walked, he couldn't find a way out. This hopeless emotion will drive people crazy.

Thinking about it now, he still feels sorry for him, because he overestimated the hunter's power too much. Even the ninth-level hunter is at his wit's end, so he looked at Qi Jinglin and the others with some curiosity.

Qi Jinglin waved his hand and said, "This is a naturally formed labyrinth. So far, only An's family has inadvertently obtained a part of the route, but it is only limited to the fringe areas. No matter how deep they are, they can't enter. The result can only be the same as that of the city owner. , As for why we can come here, it is naturally because we have people who know the formation here."

The word formation is too ancient and mysterious for Chinese people. It is not that Gu Xun has never heard of it, but he only treats it as a legend. There are people who know the formation, which made him gasp. After he opened up a new situation in Huangsha City, he inevitably looked down upon those high-ranking families, thinking that the relationship between himself and the powerful family The distance is not too far away. Looking at it now, I still lack the heritage of those aristocratic families. The aristocratic families accumulated over hundreds of years are not something people of my background can underestimate.

Qi Jinglin and the three secretly smiled in their hearts. After being isolated from the world for a year, even if Gu Chengzhu was wise and powerful, he could not understand the situation outside. Judging from his expression, he knew that there was a misunderstanding. However, Qi Jinglin did not explain further, although if they acted together Gu Chengzhu will also find that the person beside him who understands this formation is Xiao Yunchen.

Qi Jinglin kindly told Gu Xun about the changes outside, especially the decline of the An family.

Gu Xun frowned and said, "Could it be that the people who made the arrangement at the beginning were related to An's family? They used such news to attract hunters like me who don't have a strong background and are capable, so that they can do human experiments?"

Qi Jinglin spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure about this either. The An family's base has long since been wiped out, and all relevant information has been destroyed. The only way for the city lord to investigate is in Huangsha City. When the city lord returns, he may be able to find out the truth."

Gu Xun couldn't digest these two pieces of news for a while. Whether it was the An family's downfall or the trap he was in, it might have come from the An family's design. The second young master of the Qi family said it lightly. If it weren't for his identity, Gu Xun would have found it hard to believe it. Such a behemoth of the An family, which has not been shaken for more than 500 years, actually fell rapidly in just one year after he left.

It is a bit regrettable in his heart that he was trapped here and could not personally participate in the vicissitudes of the Huameng. Not to mention other things, but the ninth-level strongman from the An family is not a beginner at the ninth level, but The most powerful person who has stayed at this level for 20 years, but such a strong person also lost. It is conceivable that that battle was truly earth-shattering, but he failed to watch it, but It is the greatest regret in my life.

In his opinion, the An family's ninth-level powerhouses either fell or were abolished, otherwise the An family would not be allowed to decline. As long as there are nine-level powerhouses, it will be difficult for the An family to be squeezed out of the ranks of the top families.

He was a little eager to leave here and return to the Huameng to see how the Huameng is now.

Qi Jinglin asked again: "City Master Gu, you mentioned earlier that the place where you killed the ninth-level beast is different from other places, can you describe it to us in detail?"

Gu Xun nodded and said: "With my eighth-level hunter strength, it is very difficult to kill a ninth-level beast. If I am not careful, I may even fall into it." This is the difference from the family. All the resources to cultivate talents with outstanding talents, if you need to use the ninth-level beast core to break through the eighth level, you don’t need to hunt it yourself, the owner will automatically send it to you, and all the materials needed for the cultivation of commoner-born hunters need to find their own way, " But I lurked for a while, and when I decided whether to kill or not, I found that the alien beasts there were particularly manic, impulsive and aggressive. I just used their characteristics to find a way to create a few chaos, so that the alien beasts could interact Fight and set up traps when the alien beast is weak. After I killed the alien beast, I also checked that area, and it seems to be no different from other places except that it is colder."

"But I have to say something special," Gu Xun added after thinking for a while, "That's where it is. Do you still remember the first ninth-level powerhouse who went mad and lost his mind after the establishment of the Huameng? Because he was unprepared, he slaughtered an entire city, and the place where I killed the beast was near that city."

Qi Jinglin and the three of them felt a shock in their hearts, they were actually connected with that city, and Gu Xun mentioned that the environment there was rather cold, which was closer to the strange energy that Xiao Yunchen mentioned. Is it related to the city that was slaughtered?

"The ruins of that city have long been like a forbidden place. I also suffered some injuries and couldn't stay outside for a long time. At that time, I thought that if I successfully broke through to level nine, I would go to the ruins to explore. I think the situation over there is not simple." Gu Xun continued.

The three of Qi Jinglin looked at each other, it seemed that after they got out of here, they needed to visit the ruins.

If Gu Xun hadn't mentioned it, anyone who saw the ruins would have taken a detour, and no one wanted to recall that heavy period of history.

The original name of that city has long been forgotten by people, and people today only remember one name, and that is the city of death.

&&&

After resting at the same place for a whole day, Gu Xun's condition improved slightly, and the new team of four continued to go deep into the labyrinth area.

Gu Xun's eyes were more radiant than before. After taking the antidote provided by Xiao Yunchen, he felt much lighter. Maybe the toxins in his body could not be removed. For his current situation, it is better to live longer. A few years is also good, and Huangsha City can last longer.

Always arrange a future for Huangsha City to prevent it from falling into chaos again.

Gu Xun's affection for Huangsha City is particularly deep.

Looking at Xiao Yunchen who was leading the way ahead, Gu Xun was very surprised when he knew for the first time that the person who knew the formation was this young man exuding a half-orc aura. He said how could Er Shao Qi go in and out of such a dangerous place The person who brought a half-orc with him turned out to be a strange person. If he knew that Xiao Yunshen had killed the father of a ninth-level powerhouse in the An family, he would be so shocked that his mouth would shut.Even now, watching the three people's orderly actions, I still feel emotional in my heart, but I feel old after only leaving for a year, and the current Huameng no longer belongs to their generation.

"The battle is about to start." Xiao Yun reminded his companions in a low voice.

"Be careful." Qi Jinglin pulled him back, "Let Ah Lv come out, and be more on guard."

"That's good." Xiao Yunchen didn't pay attention to Qi Jinglin's excessive behavior, or ignored it on purpose. He patted his shoulder, and then a huge seventh-level magic spider appeared beside him, attracting Gu Xun again. He stared straight, the three-person team surprised him many times, he didn't expect a humble little devil spider to have another origin, he couldn't help but look at the little gray mouse in the mole's pocket.

Mole noticed his gaze, smiled and patted Xiao Hui's protruding head: "I'm not as good as a cloudy green, so I can only play the role of scouting the way."

Gu Xun withdrew his gaze and grinned. He is a cheerful person, and he got along very happily with the three of them. He didn't put himself in a slightly higher position because he was stronger and the oldest, and he couldn't stand the mole when he was resting He also talked about the experience of wandering in Huangsha City back then, and was curious about Xiao Yunchen and Mole's pet beast, but did not explore it.

Finally came to the end, it was better for Xiao Yunchen and the three of them, Gu Xun's always calm heart couldn't help but fluctuate a bit, after being trapped for a year, he longed to see the light of day more than anyone else, the other side of the maze was really As peculiar as the news said?

The mist is gradually thinning, and before they go out completely, the sounds of insects, birds and beasts outside enter their ears, and they can vaguely see a piece of green mountains and green waters. With this kind of information, several people can't help but draw a picture of a paradise that has not suffered any pollution.

There is no violent energy breath, no wild animal roar, here seems to be very peaceful.

As early as when he was close to the edge, the Fox King had rushed out and hadn't returned yet, so Xiao Yunchen couldn't get any useful information. The surface was peaceful, but who knew if there might be a huge crisis hidden underneath.

None of the four were more relaxed, but more vigilant.

When the four of them stepped out of the maze in unison, all kinds of voices from the outside world suddenly fell into silence.

The sudden silence caused the four of them to ignore the wonderful scenery around them and tense up. This state of silence was too weird.
