"call……"

Gu Sheng took a deep breath and prepared to lightly cut his palm with a dagger.

But when he really pulled himself, he couldn't do it anymore.

"This time, it looks like self-harm."

Gu Sheng muttered to himself speechlessly, closed his eyes at random, and slashed his hand directly with the knife.

In an instant, a small cut appeared immediately, and blood slowly flowed out from the wound.

Gu Sheng pressed his palm against the barrier. The moment the blood came into contact with the barrier, the barrier quickly dissipated in the air like ignited paper.

Gu Sheng was overjoyed and reached out to take the "Seeking Source Heavenly Book" in his hand.

The book is not heavy, not as heavy as the Fire Spirit Dagger.

Gu Sheng gently opened the pages of the book and saw various ancient methods of finding raw ores recorded inside.

"Wonderful! How wonderful!"

Gu Sheng read a few pages and couldn't help but praise them.

However, just as Gu Sheng was immersed in the mystery of the Book of Heaven, a rustling sound came from outside the stone room.

Gu Sheng's heart tightened, feeling like someone was approaching.

Then he quickly hid the Heavenly Book in his arms and walked cautiously towards the stone room.

As soon as Gu Sheng walked out of the stone room, he saw several figures moving quickly in the mine.

Judging from their direction, the destination seemed to be this stone room.

"I'll go! Are you discovered so soon?"

Gu Sheng was speechless for a while. He realized that these people were probably here for the "Searching for the Heavenly Book".

He didn't dare to neglect and quickly found a hidden place to hide.

At the same time, he mobilized his divine power and released his spiritual consciousness to explore the surroundings and sense the opponent's situation.

Soon, Gu Sheng's consciousness spread rapidly like an invisible net.

"this……"

After Gu Sheng's consciousness reported energy fluctuations, he was stunned.

Because I have never felt that kind of fluctuation, or in other words, this kind of energy does not seem to exist in this world!

Gu Sheng stuck his head out, trying to see what the other person looked like.

Gradually, Gu Sheng seemed to see some clues.

The outlines of those creatures looked particularly strange in the dim mine. They were not human beings, but some strange creatures that he had never seen before!

The skin of these creatures has an unnatural metallic sheen, their limbs are unusually developed, and their movements have a mechanical rhythm.

In addition, their heads are abnormally flat, and their eyes are like burning coals, shining in the darkness.

"I'm going to go! What the hell is this?"

Gu Sheng was shocked and realized that these creatures might be monsters derived from the mine, or puppets controlled by the power of the underground turbidity.

Gu Sheng did not dare to be careless in the slightest, knowing that the secrets of the "Source-Seeking Heavenly Book" must not fall into the hands of these creatures.

He quickly mobilized the divine power in his body and prepared to fight.

Then, Gu Sheng used his spiritual consciousness to explore again, trying to find the weaknesses of these creatures.

However, just when he was about to investigate further, a sharp wind sound suddenly hit him from behind.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Sheng ducked sideways almost instinctively, and a sharp claw grazed his cheek.

"hiss!"

Gu Sheng took a sharp breath.

He touched his cheek, and a stream of warm blood seeped out.

"So fast!"

Gu Sheng was secretly shocked.

He didn't dare to hold back any more and immediately took out the Fire Spirit Dagger.

In an instant, rays of divine light burst out from his body, illuminating the entire mine.

Those creatures seemed to be a little afraid of the sudden light, and their movements paused briefly.

Gu Sheng seized this opportunity and quickly changed positions.

At the same time, use the Fire Spirit Dagger to slash at the nearest creature.

"Crack!"

The sword's light was like lightning, and the creature instantly cut it into two pieces.

"Ouch!!!"

However, these creatures don't seem to be afraid of death.

They emit a high-pitched neighing sound, as if calling their companions.

Gu Sheng knew that a quick decision was needed.

If their companions arrive, they will be in dire straits.

Gu Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he was about to kill other creatures with the fire spirit dagger.

But at this moment, a crystal ore appeared on the corpse of the creature that had just been killed.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng quickly stepped forward and grabbed the ore in his hands.

good! It is the source ore.

Could it be...

Gu Sheng began to think about the nature of these creatures.

But before Gu Sheng could think about it, the remaining five or six creatures were already rushing towards Gu Sheng with their sharp claws.

"Xiaxiaxia!"

They made strange noises and dashed through the mine.

Gu Sheng clenched the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand. At this moment, it felt the murderous intention of its owner.

I saw a faint red light glowing on the dagger body, extremely hot.

"call!"

He took a deep breath, and the divine power in his body poured into the Fire Spirit Dagger like a tide.

"Xiaxiaxia!"

Weird screams echoed in the mine.

In an instant, they arrived in front of Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng had no reason to hold the fire spirit dagger and slashed in a burst!

"Ding ding ding!"

The fire spirit dagger collided with the claws of those creatures, making a crisp metallic clashing sound.

Gu Sheng felt as if he had been struck on a stone.

However, only the claws of those creatures are sharper, while the neck and abdomen are softer.

After Gu Sheng discovered this weakness, he directly targeted the opponent's neck.

After several rounds, the mine was already full of corpses of these creatures.

Gu Sheng did not relax at all, and quickly stepped forward to check each corpse.

As he expected, a crystal source ore appeared on the head of each corpse.

These source ores emitted a faint light, which was obviously the source of power of these creatures.

Gu Sheng carefully collected these source ores in preparation for the key to studying the essence of these creatures.

However, just when he collected the last source ore, a strong energy fluctuation came from the depths of the mine.

"Not good!"

Gu Sheng's face changed, knowing that the companions of those creatures were coming.

He did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately mobilized all his divine power to escape.

His figure was like a flash of lightning, flying quickly towards the exit of the mine.

Soon, Gu Sheng came to the ground.

That's it, bursts of roars came from the mine.

It must be that the companions of those creatures found the corpses and wanted to find him as an intruder.

Gu Sheng had no time to think about the origins of these creatures. He immediately summoned up all his divine power and formed seals with his hands.

Instantly, divine power surged out of his hands like substance, forming a huge light shield that sealed the entrance of the mine.

With the injection of the last divine power, the entrance of the mine was completely sealed.

At the same time, the roars of those creatures gradually disappeared.

Gu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he knew that this seal could not stop those creatures for too long, so he had to leave here as soon as possible.

Gu Sheng looked at the way he came and returned directly to Pingtou Mountain.

Then, he did not dare to neglect it and summoned divine power to rush to the top of Pingtou Mountain.

But when he reached the top of the mountain, he suddenly found that it was midnight.

The night wind blew, and the coolness surged like a tide.

Gu Sheng looked in the direction of Shitou Village and randomly summoned divine power to fly there.

And just as Gu Sheng was flying in the sky, a strange energy wave seemed to follow him not far away.

Gu Sheng was puzzled and quickly landed on the ground.

He didn't want to bring unknown enemies to the Stone Village.

After all, there were ordinary people everywhere, and they couldn't be implicated.

After coming to the ground, Gu Sheng quickly hid behind a huge rock.

He restrained his breath, and even his breathing became weak, so as not to be discovered by the tracker.

Gu Sheng waited quietly, his eyes were bright in the dark, and even his ears were extremely sharp.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the strange energy fluctuation seemed to disappear, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Gu Sheng did not relax his vigilance and continued to observe.

In this way, Gu Sheng waited in the valley for a whole night.

He didn't come out of his hiding place until the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and illuminated the earth.

"Illusion? Or am I too nervous?"

Gu Sheng muttered to himself, while looking around to check the situation.

Just like at night, there was nothing unusual.

After being relieved, he headed towards the direction of the Stone Village.

After arriving near the village, Gu Sheng did not enter the village directly.

Instead, he patrolled around the village to see if there were any other abnormal signs.

At this time, Gu Sheng saw that the people in the village had already started a day's work.

The children were chasing and playing in the village, and the strong laborers began to farm and hunt. Everything looked so peaceful.

"Huh... It seems that I was worrying too much."

Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. After confirming that it was safe, Gu Sheng walked into the village with confidence.

His arrival attracted the attention of some villagers.

"Xiao Sheng? Xiao Sheng! Are you back?"

"It's Xiao Sheng! Xiao Sheng is back! Where have you been recently? Everyone is looking for you."

"Yes, Master Zhang Wu and Elder Shi haven't eaten for two days because they couldn't find you."

They greeted him warmly and asked him where he went last night.

Gu Sheng just smiled and responded: "I went to Qingxia Mountain over there and got lost."

"Come on, you must be hungry. I have some freshly cooked steamed buns at home. Go and have some."

"How can you eat steamed buns? I shot two pheasants yesterday. I'll stew them for you."

"And there are some at home. I have wild boar meat at home."

The mountain people in the village surrounded Gu Sheng and showed concern and care.

Especially those mountain people who were rescued by Gu Sheng before, they directly pulled Gu Sheng home to eat.

Gu Sheng felt everyone's enthusiasm and felt warm in his heart.

He didn't expect that he just did his best in Shitou Village, and everyone cared about him so much.

"Thank you, everyone. I'm..."

Gu Sheng wanted to refuse the mountain people who surrounded him, but before he finished speaking, a loud voice rang out: "Elder Shi and Master Zhang Wu are here!"

Everyone heard the words and immediately looked in the direction of the two.

Elder Shi came with Zhang Wuye, Ergou, Shi Shanlin, Shilou and other elders from the village.

Ergou rushed forward and gave Gu Sheng a big hug after seeing him.

At the same time, Shilou and Shishanlin also surrounded him.

"Brother Sheng, where have you been? We have been looking for you so hard!"

"Yes, Ergou cried several times because he couldn't find you."

Shilou and Shishanlin stood beside Gu Sheng and said with a smile.

Ergou let go of Gu Sheng and wiped the tears from his eyes again.

"Ergou, are you healed?"

Gu Sheng asked with a faint smile.

"Okay, everything is okay!"

Ergou said, stretching out his arms and showing his strong muscles in front of Gu Sheng.

"Okay, recovery is good."

Gu Sheng gently patted Er Gou on the shoulder.

At this time, Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye also walked towards Gu Sheng.

"Xiao Sheng, I thought you..."

The corners of Zhang Wuye's eyes were also a little moist.

"Thought I was dead?"

Gu Sheng said with a smile.

"Bah, bah, bah!"

Elder Shi stepped forward and said with a serious face: "Xiao Sheng, you are not allowed to say unlucky words this early in the morning."

"Hehe... Well, bah, bah, bah, I'm fine."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, he shook his body with two fists.

"Okay, just come back, just come back."

Mr. Zhang Wu gently wiped the corners of his eyes and nodded with tears in his eyes.

"Er Gou, go and arrange a place for your brother Sheng to rest, and prepare some food."

Elder Shi ordered Ergou.

"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"

Ergou replied loudly.

"etc!"

Gu Sheng stopped Ergou and said to Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye: "I have something important to tell everyone, so let's go to the meeting hall first."

"Oh? Something important?"

When Elder Shi heard this, he thought that other bandits were going to attack Shitou Village, and his face instantly darkened.

"Well, let's go!"

After speaking, Elder Shi and Zhang Wuye led everyone towards the meeting hall.

In the meeting hall, everyone was sitting together, and the atmosphere seemed a bit tense.

Gu Sheng stood in the center and carefully took out the ancient "Book of Origins" from his arms.

On the cover of the Heavenly Book, the golden runes shone with mysterious light, and an ancient aura instantly filled the entire hall.

Mr. Zhang Wu was originally sitting upright, but when his eyes fell on the "Xunyuan Heavenly Book", he seemed to be struck by lightning and froze on the spot.

His eyes were filled with disbelief, followed by deep shock.

He had only heard of this book in family legends. It was a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Zhang family, and it was also a sacred object of Master Yuan Tian. He never thought that he would be able to see it with his own eyes in his lifetime!

"This...this is..."

Mr. Zhang Wu’s voice trembled.

He almost used up all his strength to stand up, and then with a "plop", he knelt down directly in front of Gu Sheng.

"Old Zhang!"

Gu Sheng was frightened by this sudden scene and quickly stepped forward to help Mr. Zhang Wu.

But Mr. Zhang Wu refused to get up, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Xiao Sheng, you don't know what this book means to our Zhang family."

Mr. Zhang Wu’s voice choked up.

He looked up at Gu Sheng, with tears in his eyes, "This is the heirloom of our Zhang family, and it is also the sacred object of Master Yuan Tian. Its loss has always been a major shortcoming of our Zhang family. Please bring it back." , not only makes up for this shortcoming, but is also the benefactor of the entire Zhang family."

At the same time, all the Zhang family members present knelt down towards Gu Sheng. (End of chapter)
