Chapter 523 Pearls in the Shell

As the four-eyed beast approached, an unpleasant fishy smell came to their noses.

Gu Sheng and others subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, but just as they raised their hands, the beast suddenly roared, and waves of sound came, heading straight for the weak waist and abdomen after they raised their hands!

Realizing that something was wrong, Gu Sheng immediately put down his hand, turned his body quickly, and jumped to avoid the attack.

He successfully dodged, but Shi Lou and others were not so lucky.

They subconsciously withdrew their hands, but their movements were far slower than the sound of the beast. In just a moment, their waists and abdomens were severely injured!

Hearing a few screams, Gu Sheng's face changed, and he quickly protected everyone.

"Heal your wounds quickly."

After he finished speaking, Huang Shan gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"No, this beast is so powerful that you can't resist it alone. Although we are injured, we can still resist it for a while!"

After he finished speaking, Gu Sheng immediately clenched his fists.

"We are not even halfway up the mountain yet, and you are already injured. We will never get the spiritual pearl in this life! If I tell you to heal, then heal. Hurry up!"

Gu Sheng's tone was somewhat unquestionable. Huang Shan and others were suppressed by his momentum and could only grit their teeth and do as he said.

As soon as they sat down, the four-eyed beast attacked again.

It seemed to have awakened its intelligence, so the target of the attack was no longer Gu Sheng, but Huang Shan and others sitting there!

Smelling the unpleasant stench on it again, Gu Sheng pretended not to smell it, summoned the Fire Spirit Dagger, turned his wrist, and a red light flashed. He ran straight to the four-eyed beast, holding the Fire Spirit Dagger in his hand high, and went straight to its neck!

Being blocked by Gu Sheng, the four-eyed beast was extremely dissatisfied, and roared again, and the sound waves went straight to Gu Sheng.

Seeing it use the same move again, Gu Sheng took a steady horse stance, and the Fire Spirit Dagger kept slashing forward, breaking the sound waves again and again.

When the last sound disappeared, Gu Sheng launched a fatal attack, and bursts of flames burned on the Fire Spirit Dagger, and even bursts of red light rose from his body.

The tip of the Fire Spirit Dagger pointed directly at the four-eyed beast. Gu Sheng suddenly jumped up and staggered with it, then fell rapidly, and took advantage of the moment when it turned its head to stab it hard with a knife!

The moment the blood spurted out, the four-eyed beast screamed.

This time, Gu Sheng did not feel the power in its voice. At this moment, he realized that the sound it made when it was not prepared was without power!

Realizing this, he attacked again.

The Fire Spirit Dagger danced flexibly in his hand, and the red flames it brought up danced continuously between his wrists like a flexible snake, and then pounced on the four-eyed beast.

After being stabbed by Gu Sheng, the four-eyed beast was completely enraged. Seeing Gu Sheng coming again, it suddenly held its breath, and its entire abdomen and body continued to grow!

Knowing what it was brewing, Gu Sheng was shocked and quickly moved upwards.

However, the four-eyed beast locked onto him and immediately followed him.

When Gu Sheng floated in the air, the four-eyed beast suddenly roared, and the sound wave was stronger than every time before, which shocked Gu Sheng's heart and liver!

Knowing that the four-mother beast was using a big move, Gu Sheng suddenly gritted his teeth and prepared to fight to the death!

He dodged to the right suddenly, and after the sound wave shifted, he raised the Fire Spirit Dagger, released half of his divine power, and smashed the tip of the knife down!

At this time, the four-eyed beast was still using his power. Seeing that Gu Sheng's body suddenly dropped, it suddenly showed some disbelief in its eyes.

Seeing that it didn't dodge, Gu Sheng's eyes lit up.

He knew that he had made the right bet!

In a flash, the sound from the four-eyed beast's mouth weakened, but Gu Sheng's speed was much faster than it had imagined. Just when it wanted to dodge, Gu Sheng's fire spirit dagger had already stabbed it hard!

Blood spurted out again, and the claws of the four-eyed beast seemed to dance wildly, trying to get rid of Gu Sheng.

However, Gu Sheng was really like a python that was entangled with people. As soon as his legs exerted force, his whole body was entangled with the four-eyed beast. No matter how it ran and shook, he always entangled it tightly.

Seizing the opportunity, the fire spirit dagger stabbed into the abdomen of the four-eyed beast, and blood flowed directly all over Gu Sheng.

When the four-eyed beast moved wildly again, Gu Sheng held the dagger tightly and slashed it back fiercely!

With a crash, the internal organs in the belly of the four-eyed beast fell to the ground!

Seeing the heart, Gu Sheng jumped up and stepped on it fiercely.

With a bang, the heart burst, and the four-eyed beast finally fell to the ground!

At this moment, Gu Sheng found that his body was soaked with sweat and blood, and even the hand holding the Fire Spirit Dagger was shaking with excitement.

After a while, he walked forward, completely peeled off the skin of the four-eyed beast, and then took out its four eyes.

Looking at the eyeballs in his hand that were as bright as night pearls, Gu Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It seems that the rumors outside are correct. There are indeed treasures everywhere in Nanshan."

Shi Lou and others recovered and hurried to him, just in time to hear his words.

"Brother Sheng, the things are good, but the process of getting them is too thrilling, right?"

"How can it be considered a good thing if it is not thrilling?"

Wiping the blood off his face, Gu Sheng threw everything into the storage ring.

"There is a sound over there, and it seems that there is a water source. I will go and wash it."

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly followed him.

"Brother Sheng, there are many dangers in Nanshan, it's better for us not to separate."

"Okay, then follow me."

Following the sound of the water source, Gu Sheng moved forward and finally saw a stream.

After holding up the stream water to wash away the blood on his body, he put his hand into the water again and suddenly noticed something strange.

When Ergou was about to drink water, Gu Sheng hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, don't drink!"

Hearing this, Ergou was stunned, and the water between his fingers just flowed away.

"Brother Sheng, what's wrong?"

"There's something wrong with the water."

"What? Why didn't I notice?"

"There are spiritual fluctuations in the water. It's very weak, but it's definitely there."

Ergou shook his hands vigorously, and then wiped his hands on his body twice, as if he had touched something dirty.

Seeing him like this, Gu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I said there was spiritual power in the water, but I didn't say there was dirt in the water. What are you doing?"

Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm afraid of causing trouble..."

Gu Sheng smiled and put his hand into the water again. After feeling it carefully, he suddenly bent over and paddled towards the mountain.

After walking for a while, he finally stopped.

"There's something in the water, right here."

After hearing this, everyone looked underwater, but they couldn't see anything.

"Brother Sheng, where are the things?"

"Yes, the water is so clear, you can see to the bottom at a glance. Why don't I see anything?"

In fact, Gu Sheng didn't see it, but he felt it. He knew that his feeling would not be wrong.

After thinking about it, he took off his robe directly.

Seeing him like this, Huangshan stopped him nervously.

"Brother Sheng, there are many dangers in Nanshan. The water seems clear, but it may not be as simple as what we see. You'd better not go in."

"There are indeed spiritual fluctuations in the water. I'm going to find out. You guys wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Gu Sheng jumped up and jumped directly.

Everyone saw his figure dive into the water, and then saw his figure disappear.

The moment Gu Sheng's figure disappeared, everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

They were obviously keeping an eye on him, so how did he disappear?

For a moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Under the water at this time, Gu Sheng was diving down along the place where the spiritual power came from.

After an unknown amount of time, he turned over one stone after another and finally saw a huge clam.

He raised his hand to explore and determined where the spiritual power was released. He immediately swam towards that side.

To be on the safe side, he released his divine power to surround him, and then slowly approached.

Unexpectedly, the clam seemed to have no offensive power. Until he touched the clam shell with his hand, it still made no move in defense.

Surprised, Gu Sheng tried every means to open the clam shell, but failed.

When the oxygen in his belly decreased and he had to return to the shore, he reluctantly put away his magical power, removed all precautions, and turned around. When he was about to go up and think of a way, there was a sudden bang behind him.

A string of blisters hit him, and Gu Sheng turned his head in surprise.

Looking back, he happened to see the open clam shell!

For a moment, he was extremely excited.

In order to prevent the clam shell from closing again, Gu Sheng released his divine power.

However, as soon as his magical power flew over, the clam shell closed again.

After being stunned for a moment, Gu Sheng immediately withdrew his divine power as if he had thought of something.

Sure enough, he lost his aggressiveness and the clam shell opened again.

After understanding what was going on, Gu Sheng did not dare to use God anymore. He quickly stepped forward and put all the pearls in the clam shell into the storage ring.

Feeling the spiritual energy pouring into his body, Gu Sheng only dared to open his Dantian and absorb all the spiritual energy.

In an instant, all the spiritual energy in the stream disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

Gu Sheng's lungs were compressed to the extreme. Seeing the clam shell slowly disappearing, he quickly swam towards the shore.

At this time, everyone on the shore was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. After not seeing him for a long time, everyone's heart couldn't stop sinking, and various bad scenes vaguely appeared in their minds.

Just when they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Gu Sheng suddenly rushed out of the water, pressed him to the shore, and gasped for air.

Seeing him, Shi Lou and others' eyes lit up.

"Brother Sheng, you are finally back!"

"Brother Sheng, are you okay?"

Seeing their anxious looks, Gu Sheng quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

Huangshan and Ergou stepped forward and pulled him up one from the left and the other from the right.

Gu Sheng sat down on the shore and felt the cold air rushing into his lungs. It was so empty that it felt uncomfortable, but the moment the air entered, it was so full that it felt like it was going to explode.

Raising his hand to touch his chest, Gu Sheng carefully released his divine power.

Not noticing anything strange, he calmly used his divine power to restore his body.

After a while, he finally took a breath.

Seeing him like this, Shi Lou felt heartbroken.

"Brother Sheng, don't take such a risk next time. It's really too dangerous."

After he finished speaking, Ergou nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the water looks crystal clear, but as soon as you dive in, it disappears not long after. This shows that there is still something fishy in the water. It would be terrible if you encounter a water monster like last time."

Hearing his words, Gu Sheng curled his lips, turned his wrist, and a bright pearl fell into his palm.

Ergou was still talking, but when he saw the pearl, his words stopped abruptly.

Huangshan's eyes were bright and he raised his hand to touch the pearl.

"Brother Sheng, is this... a night-shining pearl?"

"No, it's a pearl in a clam shell, which can greatly increase spiritual power. One pearl is equivalent to ten high-level spiritual stones."

When Gu Sheng finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

"Brother Sheng, you said that this small pearl can be equivalent to ten high-level spiritual stones?"

"Yes, this is the thing that emits spiritual energy in the stream."

"Does this pearl grow directly in the water?"

"Of course not, these pearls grow in the clam shells. I got them by chance. There are a total of more than ten, one for each of us."

Gu Sheng took out all the pearls and gave one to each person.

There were not enough left, so Gu Sheng was a little worried.

Seeing what he was thinking, Huang Shan smiled and said, "Brother Sheng, leave the rest with you. If we are in trouble, you can use the pearls to save us."

After he finished speaking, Shi Lou also smiled and nodded.

"Yes, it's a life-saving thing if you keep it. If I didn't like it so much, I would also like to give it to you."

Hearing his words, Gu Sheng hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"Whoever deserves it should keep it. Keep it yourself. The rest is with me. If anyone breaks through, I will give one to him."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Sheng."

When everyone was happily playing with the pearls, Huang Shan suddenly stood up.

Looking to the east, his brows immediately showed some tension.

"Brother Sheng, it seems that someone is coming over there. I don't know which sect it is."

Hearing this, Gu Sheng hurriedly stood up.

After taking a look over there, he pulled up Ergou beside him.

"Hurry up and put the things away. Let's go."

After saying that, he didn't even wait for Ergou to respond, and pulled him forward.

Ergou was dragged by him for a while before he put the things in his hand away.

Gu Sheng chose a remote path and led everyone to the southwest.

After a full hour, the people behind finally disappeared.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Shi Lou pointed to the right and said, "Brother Sheng, it seems that we can stop there. How about we take a rest first?"

After thinking for a while, Gu Sheng nodded.

"Okay, let's go there and take turns to keep watch tonight to prevent the people from Zixia Peak from catching up."

Hearing this, several people came to their senses.

"Brother Sheng, is the team we saw today from Zixia Peak?" Shi Lou asked in surprise.

"And the Black Evil Sect."

"Did they find us so quickly?"

Recalling the scene at that time, Gu Sheng denied this statement.

"They should not have come to find us. They should have discovered the spiritual power in the water and came all the way up from downstream."

"So, if we didn't get the pearl, this treasure would have fallen into their hands?"

"Maybe."

"Fortunately, we got it, otherwise if it fell into the hands of these villains, I would feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!" (End of this chapter)
