Chapter 34 Meeting Unexpectedly (Part 3)
Chapter 34 Unexpected meeting (third update)
In the temple complex, there are corpses everywhere.
There are guards, attendants, and a few corpses of teenagers who know the dangers of the restricted zone and stay on the books. They retain the horror of their lives and stare blankly at the sky.
In addition, there are dead jellyfish.
Different from the human race, jellyfish will turn into a gray muddy mass after death, filled with a foul smell, which is completely different from the colorful life in life.
At the same time, it also exudes an extremely rich heterogeneity, invading the surroundings and eroding everything.
And this sudden disaster is still going on.
As the boys and girls retreated in a panic, the jellyfish swarm chased after them. On the outskirts of the jungle restricted area, killing and death were still happening.
When Xu Qing came to the temple group, it was already an hour later.
Walking in the temple complex, Xu Qing looked at the corpses all over the place, his expression didn't change much.
Dead bodies, he had seen too many.
Passing by the corpses of guards and attendants, Xu Qing collected some dead jellyfish and prepared to go back and study them.
As for the items on these corpses, they were almost all infested by the dense heterogeneity formed after the jellyfish died, and they were unusable.
Until, Xu Qing came to a dead body, and his footsteps stopped.
It was the corpse of an old man, with a big hole in his chest, the blood that flowed out had dried up, and in the dim eyes that were open, there seemed to be regrets from his previous life.
Looking at the corpse, Xu Qing sighed softly.
He is not a god, so even if the other party buys his own insurance, he cannot completely guarantee his safety, especially when the fog does not appear.
After silence, Xu Qing knelt down, covered the open eyes of Old Shitou, and buried him again.
There is no stele, because Team Lei said that most of the scavengers had no relatives and did not need to pay homage to them.
Dust to dust, dust to dust.
This is the life of a scavenger. He struggled in the world during his lifetime, and after death... just be quiet.
This kind of desolation is actually the destination of most waste pickers.
Standing in front of Old Shitou's grave, Xu Qing looked in the direction of the camp outside the restricted zone, recalling his life in the past few months.
It has been four months since he came to this scavenger camp.
Captain Blood Shadow died, Fire Crow died, Fat Mountain Horse Si died, Barbarian Ghost died, Old Stone died, Team Lei retired, Bone Knife sought death, and more scavengers also died silently.
In the cruel and chaotic world, human life is worthless.
"Only by becoming stronger can I survive." Xu Qing murmured, with a slowly indifferent expression, turned and left.
At this moment, in the afterglow of the setting sun, there is a wind blowing, which makes the clothes of the boy who has gone away rustle.
The voice seemed to have some coldness, and gradually weakened until it disappeared into the jungle along with his figure.
As the afterglow fell, the light gradually weakened, but it still tried hard to penetrate through the dense leaves, trying to reflect the sparse light on the young man running in the jungle.
But the boy's speed was too fast, even the light seemed unable to catch up.
Not long after, Xu Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped, and after he stopped, he looked down at the ground with doubts in his eyes.
Not long after, Xu Qing squatted down, sniffed it carefully, and finally his eyes fell on a blade of grass, which had an imperceptible powder on it.
If it wasn't for Xu Qing's solid grasp of poisonous weeds, and his familiarity with the smell of this restricted area, it would be difficult to detect the abnormality.
At this moment, it took a long time to distinguish before he picked up the powder-covered leaf, muttered after concentrating for a moment.
"The specific ingredients are unknown, but there must be centipede blood in it!"
Xu Qing's eyes flashed brightly. In Master Bai's course, there was an introduction to Sui Centipede.
This kind of blood has certain medicinal properties, but it is more of a catalyst, so it can be formulated with other medicines to attract specific beasts, which is often needed when hunting.
"The arrival of those jellyfish has something to do with it?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, put down the deadly leaf, took out a pack of poisonous powder and sprinkled it on his body.
After using this to wash away the bloody breath of the year-old centipede that had been contaminated just now, he shook his body and moved forward in a different direction.
Xu Qing didn't intend to go to the place where the boys and girls brought by Old Stone were evacuated. This matter had nothing to do with him and he didn't want to participate in it.
Even if there are friends of Chen Feiyuan among these people, he has no obligation to help, and these people have strong men who can fight giant jellyfish, which is equally dangerous to Xu Qing.
The most important thing is that among these boys and girls, there is a high probability that someone deliberately attracted jellyfish, and the purpose is unknown.
So after realizing their location, Xu Qing changed direction, circled around, and returned to the pharmacy in the canyon when it was getting dark.
After putting away the picked herbs, he continued to study Bai Dan.
It's just that although Xu Qing didn't go to the place where the young men and women retreated, when the night came, Xu Qing, who was mixing herbs in the pharmacy, still heard the sound of roaring and fighting in the distance, and it was getting closer, which made him frown rise.
After the sound of footsteps also came, Xu Qing sighed secretly.
He stood up, walked out of the pharmacy, and saw the direction of the entrance of the canyon by the moonlight, and there was a sound of surprise coming from there.
"There is a way here!!"
"Come in, everyone."
Following the voice came a few young men in ragged clothes who were in a state of embarrassment.
They had horror on their faces, and there were more than a dozen people behind them, most of them were companions of similar age, and there were seven or eight guards with injuries all over their bodies.
A total of more than 20 people ran into the canyon one after another. While the guards were desperately guarding the entrance, these young men and women who survived the catastrophe also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time noticed the environment in the canyon.
They quickly saw Xu Qing's pharmacy and Xu Qing standing there.
"Someone!"
The moment they saw Xu Qing, these young men and women were as frightened as birds, and immediately backed away in exclamation, and three guards behind them also came quickly, looking at Xu Qing with vigilance and sharpness.
Noticing their gazes, Xu Qing's eyes turned cold. He glanced coldly at the guards, and then looked at the group of young men and women. There were two of them, so he asked him to pay more attention.
One of them was a bit older than him, about sixteen or seventeen years old, although he was also in a mess, but unlike the others, his face was rarely panicked, but mostly vigilant.
The other was a young girl with a very sweet appearance. Although her clothes were dirty and frightened, but Xu Qing, who was used to seeing all kinds of life, could tell at a glance that this person's fright was very false.
Especially... This woman's right hand wears a glove, which seems to be for cleanliness, but for Xu Qing who uses poison, the glove has many functions.
For example, sprinkle powder.
"The eight guards, whose cultivation base is between [-] and [-] Qi Condensation, and the rest are below the fifth floor, are divided into three small teams."
"Only those two people, the male looks like the seventh floor, and the female... should be the person who attracted the jellyfish. As for the few strong men who fought the big jellyfish, they are not among them. There is a high probability that they will lead the big jellyfish Walk."
This is Xu Qing's habit, and those young men and women couldn't imagine that Xu Qing could see so many details just by scanning.
But these guards were obviously different from those young men and women. They felt the coldness in Xu Qing's eyes, and looked at the pharmacy, all of them were very vigilant.
Being able to find such a canyon in the restricted area, and build a house in the canyon, all this means that the young man in front of him is not only familiar with the restricted area, but also lives here.
Such a person is extremely dangerous.
"Fellow Daoist, is your lord here? We don't have any malicious intentions, it's just that the strange beasts are chasing us outside, so we use this place to hide."
"We'll leave as soon as the day breaks. Please forgive me for disturbing you."
These guards were instinctively polite.
Their words also made the terrified young men and women behind them feel that something was wrong, and looked at Xu Qing one after another.
The oldest boy among them looked at Xu Qing a few more times with a dignified expression, while the girl with gloves narrowed her eyes.
She scanned the pharmacy and smelled the faint scent of herbs around her, and she had a recognition of the young man in front of her.
Xu Qing frowned, looked at them, and then at the entrance. After a while, he didn't speak, acquiescing to their existence, and turned to walk towards the pharmacy.
His acquiescence made those guards heave a sigh of relief, but most of the boys and girls behind them were uneasy.
Only the girl with gloves, after a strange light flashed in her eyes, spoke in a low voice in a cautious and aggrieved voice.
"You... You are so rude. We just want to hide here. There are strange beasts outside. We will die if we go out."
Her voice carried a sense of distress and love, which made several teenagers around who admired her courageously speak to Xu Qing one after another.
"Yeah, why are you so cold-blooded?"
"We didn't mean anything malicious, just take a rest here."
"The restricted area does not belong to his family, why should we ask him!"
A simple sentence caused some people to feel hostility towards Xu Qing. Although this hostility was not much, it still made the girl a little proud.
She wanted to use others to test the bottom of the young man in front of her.
But in the next moment, a cold light suddenly shone from Xu Qing, and the sound of whistling suddenly came out, and a dagger approached the proud girl like a flash of lightning.
As soon as her expression changed, she was about to dodge when the dagger flew past her ears, cutting off some of her hair, and with a bang, it stabbed deeply on the stone wall behind her, shooting out some sparks.
The girl's heart trembled, she instinctively raised her right hand while breathing quickly, and when she looked at Xu Qing, what she saw was the boy in front of her, with wolf-like indifferent eyes and killing intent.
This look made her heart tremble, and the guards and other young men and women around her were shocked. The former was extremely vigilant, while many of the latter exclaimed.
"We met by chance, don't come to test me." Xu Qing took a deep look at the girl, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, opened his mouth slowly, turned and walked towards the pharmacy.
Under the moonlight, his figure seemed to merge with the moonlight, exuding the coldness of the night, flowing in the hearts and minds of everyone in the canyon, making these people slowly fall silent.
In their feelings, the canyon seems to be as dangerous as the jellyfish swarm outside at this moment.
In this silence, the moment Xu Qing walked to the door of the pharmacy, suddenly a shrill scream came from the entrance.
A small jellyfish found the entrance, penetrated the body of a guard, devoured his internal organs, and rushed into the canyon.
Behind him, a group of jellyfish came roaring.
-
Is it unexpected, is it surprising, brothers and sisters, do you want the fourth update?
If you want to, tell Xiaomengxin, Xiaomengxin will drink a bottle of wine and work hard!
