In the empty room, Gu Shen’s fingers caressed the cross pendant.
Though he had the [Sanctuary of the Goddess of Destiny], it did not an he was absolutely safe...
From what happened to Hong Zhong, it seed that most of the ti this pendant would give "hints", and at certain monts, it would help the host make "compulsory" actions.
From the mont Hong Zhong stepped into the "Golden Ear Flower Dream".
Physical death was already unavoidable.
For Gu Shen, this pendant was an important object to face the future’s "ominous" and the backlash of the "Truth Ruler"... Only a god can counter a god, likewise, only a Divine Seal can contend with a Divine Seal.
This Protective Sealing Item should be able to counteract the backlash of the Truth Ruler, right?
After pondering for a mont.
Gu Shen operated the Breathing thod to calm his emotions.
A knock on the door sounded.
Gu Shen withdrew the Chi Huo he had laid out, got up to open the door, it was the comrades from the explorer team, they won the storm battle at Gu Castle Fortress, and the Spiritual Poison was also lifted... The isolation area naturally had no reason to exist anymore.
The explorer team mbers, after a brief mont of rest, were surprised to learn about these big news.
The first thing they did was to co visit Gu Shen.
"Good lad."
Mo Hongyi was the first to enter, laughing heartily, "Soone said it right, you really are the great hero of East Continent... Thanks to you, our team was able to return safely from the maze."
Gu Shen smiled slightly.
On the return journey, after consulting everyone’s opinion... he perford hypnosis on all the mbers.
After the escape ended.
Gu Shen erased the mory post-hypnosis...
Yuan Yuan and the others had a blank mind, probably very curious about the details of this return journey, but after they saw the records, they would surely think that the safe return was due to touching the [Door].
As for how to find the [Door], that was part of Gu Shen’s privacy.
"Don’t scare the guy." Yuan Yuan slapped away Mo Hongyi’s large hand on Gu Shen’s shoulder, and said seriously, "We’ve already seen the return records... Thanks a lot this ti."
After saying this.
A dozen n bowed in unison.
Gu Shen was startled.
What kind of act was this?
"I heard this is an East Continent custom." Su He glanced at Zhang Ning, who was from East Continent, the latter smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and whispered, "Brother Gu is from Jiangnan, and they say Jiangnan over there is like this."
Gu Shen was speechless.
The roughness of Jiangbei, the elegance of Jiangnan, indeed the customs of the two places were worlds apart.
Su He interrupted Zhang Ning, saying calmly, "It’s not important, when in Ro, we North Continent people express our gratitude in a less formal and polite way."
"Bang..."
He raised his hand, shaking a half bottle of vodka in his palm.
The crisp sound of ice cubes colliding with the bottle.
Gu Shen vaguely saw... a truck parked outside, with a trunk full of alcohol.
"Co, unload!"
...
...
Two hours later.
The Northern Continent burly n were a bit dizzy.
They looked incredulously at this young man from the East Continent.
Gu Shen was surrounded by a mountain of alcohol, looking vibrant.
He had already drunk down a round of opponents.
Now there were only three or four people left in the finals.
"Damn it..."
Mo Hongyi rubbed his head heavily, questioning life, "Vice-Captain, are all East Continent people such drinkers?!"
The best drinker, Su He, remained silent, glancing at Zhang Ning, who beside him was dead drunk and snoring away.
The other person from East Continent had already collapsed long ago.
"Gu, are you cheating using your ’abilities’?" Mo Hongyi, unconvinced, rolled up his sleeves, "Damn it, today I’m going all out with you!"
Gu Shen smiled wryly.
He hadn’t used "Chi Huo".
Alcohol... could anesthetize the spirit of normal people.
But if a Transcendent used the "Breathing thod", it could be easily broken down.
The special concoction of the North Continent Army apparently had a strange power that could even get Transcendents drunk, except this drink was much worse compared to Lion Awakening Wine, not to ntion getting himself drunk.
To Gu Shen, it seed like a flavored drink rather than water.
In this world, alcohol was like that.
For a "special existence" like himself, rged with the Netherworld King’s Spark, nothing in this world seed capable of numbing him... Perhaps this was a blessing, that heaven deprived him of the chance to be lost in drunken dreams, giving him an eternally clear soul.
Perhaps, it’s a small regret.
No matter how much he drank, he could only feel slightly tipsy.
Gu Shen would never experience being "dead drunk", nor could he "pass out".
Another hour passed.
Mo Hongyi made a gagging sound, his head throbbing in pain, "Captain... I can’t hold on anymore, urgh..."
Su He calmly extended a hand, covering the guy’s mouth.
And then used his "ability", expanding his domain, and the next mont tossed Mo Hongyi outside the house... The one who earlier swore to fight to the bitter end lay at the door vomiting profusely, then disappeared without a trace.
In the end, only two team leader-level figures were left.
Indeed...
In the North Continent, strength and drinking seed vaguely related.
Yuan Yuan drank not fast, but steadily, cup after cup, without any waves or fluctuations, after ascending to Fourth-order Transcendent, his "domain" had already ford, and his Breathing thod was imprinted deep in his bones.
He did not need to actively operate it.
