out of time

Chapter 87
Grey-brown bones are scattered on the black sand, some have been weathered, showing roughness like frosting, and some seem to have existed not long ago, with rotting pieces of meat still hanging on them.

The sea breeze blew up the gravel on the ground, piled up in the skulls of humans and beasts, and rolled them up.

The entire sea lizard island, reflected in Xu Qing's eyes, is full of eerie and cruelty, only the sunset glow falling on the beach like a crimson leaf, seems to cover their death with a tomb.

Unfortunately, this tomb cloth is also red.

Xu Qing withdrew his eyes from looking at the bones around him. In the gradual darkness of the world, he calmly walked towards the jungle. As he approached, his figure disappeared inside.

The night, when he stepped into the jungle, came like a pair of big hands covering it, the sky was pitch black, and the day gave way.

In the jungle, Xu Qing's figure was like a ghost, moving extremely fast, heaving up and down on the big trees, his gaze was like a false-toothed bird, as he walked forward, he calmly observed his surroundings.

Xu Qing is no stranger to the jungle.

Although this is an island and not a forbidden zone back then, the experience of living in the jungle is common here, especially the vegetation on the ground, there are also some common medicinal herbs, which makes Xu Qing familiar with it, and the figure in this jungle Inside, he feels like a fish in water, and his movements are extremely agile.

But he also gradually discovered something special.

In this jungle, many trees have collapsed, and most of the collapsed areas are connected to the location of the ocean, forming a line.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, and now he came to a place where trees had collapsed. Standing here, he first observed the surroundings, the location of the broken trees and the direction of the fall, and then lowered his head to scan the ground and the damaged trees.

"There are scales on the trees..." Xu Qing picked up a palm-sized gray-black flake from the residual wood on the ground, with a faint fishy smell remaining on it.

"It's the skin of the sea lizard, and it's been around for some time." Xu Qing had already made a judgment in his mind. Obviously, the sea lizard crawled out of the sea and walked all the way to the jungle, and the trees were hit where it passed.

"There are multiple locations like this, which means that every sea lizard that comes here to molt takes a different path, which is also reasonable."

"I just don't know whether the final location chosen by the sea lizard to shed its skin is random or... has a general area."

Xu Qing pondered, and decided to follow the road that the sea lizard walked not long ago to see what happened. After making a decision, his speed suddenly increased, following the guidance of the road, he became faster and faster.

But the vigilance became stronger in his heart.

Xu Qing didn't know if there were any monks who surpassed Qi Condensation. Although he had analyzed it on the way here, although sea lizard skins were valuable, most of them didn't like foundation building.

But I have to guard against it. After all, many things cannot be ignored simply by judging.

At this moment, the forest wind was blowing, carrying the smell of rotting vegetation. Xu Qing took a breath, but could not smell any other breath, so he continued to move forward without stopping.

Half an hour later, when the sky was getting darker and darker, Xu Qing jumped up and squatted on the top of a tree in the area near the mountains, with a faint light in his eyes, staring not far away.

In front of him, there is a piece of broken sea lizard skin, the whole is gray-black, very dry, obviously it has been for a long time, and it seems to be broken due to competition.

Xu Qing checked the information when he came, and knew that the sea lizard skin can only be valuable if it is preserved in a special way when it is just shed.

This is also the reason why the fight for the sea lizard skin is bound to be bloody, because all people like Xu Qing who come to this island need to wait, and then fight for it the moment the sea lizard skin sheds off.

Xu Qing pondered, left the canopy, and expanded the scope of exploration around.

Until he explored around the mountains, and walked along the mountains for a certain distance, he saw many such sea lizard skins. At the same time, he found that most of the places where sea lizards shed their skin were close to the mountains, and the higher the mountains were obviously, so The residual skin is bigger and more.

All this gave him an answer in his heart.

"The sea lizard sheds its skin, should it exist in a specific area, longing for a high place?"

Xu Qing raised his head, looked at the highest mountain among the several mountains in Sea Lizard Island, and his eyes became sharp.

"There should be the real treasure in this island. Anyone who can go there must be a powerful sea lizard. Their skins are the most valuable!"

Thinking of this, Xu Qing stopped hesitating, and headed towards the highest mountain, moving forward at full speed. He did not stop at all along the way. He shuttled nimbly, and noticed the figures of monks squatting on the mountains.

These people are basically casual cultivators, and their cultivation is around the fifth level of Qi Condensation. Although they are not very strong, the fierceness in their eyes is clearly visible.

And they obviously had self-knowledge, and they chose shorter mountains. They stared vigilantly at Xu Qing's arrival, and breathed a sigh of relief when they noticed that he was only passing by.

Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that so many low-level monks gathered here, which meant that his previous judgment should be correct. The chance of building a foundation here is not very high.

But he didn't take it lightly, because if there is a foundation, then there is a high probability that it is where he is going now.

In this way, not long after, under Xu Qing's speed, he climbed over mountains and mountains, and finally arrived at the highest mountain peak on Sea Lizard Island. As he arrived, wisps of energy burst out from the top of the mountain and locked in the got him here.

Xu Qing's footsteps paused, and after feeling it carefully, his expression was a little strange. He still didn't notice the aura of Foundation Establishment.

So he walked forward with a calm expression, and at the same time noticed a large number of broken sea lizard skins on this mountain.

The aura emanating from the skin of these sea lizards is at least five or six layers of condensed air, which made Xu Qing confirm his judgment that the sea lizards were indeed yearning for heights when they were shedding their skins.

As for the qi machines that were probing him, Xu Qing ignored them, went straight to the top of the mountain, and quickly reached the destination.

The area on the top of the mountain is a huge basin surrounded by trees, and there are many monks scattered. Their cultivation bases are obviously much stronger than those of other mountains. There are several.

There is indeed no foundation!

As for the cultivators here, each of them looked ferocious, or cold, with bloodthirsty eyes, obviously they were all desperadoes.

And the human race is not the majority here, but the foreign race occupies the majority, some of them are alone, and some are in groups.

There are also some who obviously smell very fishy, ​​and they are obviously pirates who have been at sea all year round.

They were staring at Xu Qing.

When Xu Qing also came, his eyes swept over them, and he immediately recognized three or five people on the most wanted list, so there was a strange light in his eyes.

But he didn't choose to make a move. Instead, he found a big tree and sat cross-legged on it to rest.

Although he has some judgments about the fact that there are no foundation-building monks here, Xu Qing still feels that if there is not even a foundation-building monk, the reason may not be what he thinks.

After sitting cross-legged at this moment, while Xu Qing was thinking in his heart, he also looked away from the surroundings. He was no stranger to the malice of the monks here, whether it was a slum or a scavenger camp, they were similar.

So he sat there calmly, just about to practice, but frowned slightly, and looked up coldly at the few pirates not far away who were still looking here.

These pirates were a small group of eight monks, including two human races and six alien races. The latter had different shapes. Some had tentacles all over their bodies, some had three eyes, and one had wings on their backs.

They looked at Xu Qing with unkind eyes and a fierce look. The alien with wings inside whispered to his companions, and then Xu Qing saw that among the pirates, the three-eyed alien got up and walked towards him.

"Seven-blood pupil disciples are not welcome here, so you either get out immediately, or stay here for nourishment." The three-eyed alien approached, grinning grinningly, and at the same time, the cultivation base of the eighth level of condensed energy was also unscrupulously released Come on, form a deterrent.

Xu Qing took a serious look at the alien race in front of him, wanting to confirm whether the other party's neck was the key point, and then looked at the other party's companions not far away, knowing that this was the temptation of the other party's monks, if he was good Bullying, then it will become their plundering target.

Seeing and watching, Xu Qing suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed it behind him.

The next moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared behind him, and Xu Qing's hand grabbed his neck tightly.

During the violent struggle, the translucent figure quickly became clear, revealing a foreign race with blue hair and a scaly face. Judging from the clothes, it was obvious that he was with the group of pirates.

At this moment, the alien's eyes showed panic, and he was about to fight back, but with Xu Qing's right hand pinching hard, with a click, the alien's neck was directly shattered.

Before it was over, the power of Hua Hai Jing poured in, and in the blink of an eye, the blood in the alien race's body was controlled by Xu Qing to break through the body directly, causing the alien race's body to collapse and explode with a bang.

There was flesh and blood all over the place, but it didn't stain Xu Qing's body in the slightest.

The internal organs of foreign races are different from those of human races. Xu Qing didn't want to distinguish where the vitals are, and completely collapse them, so they can be killed.

At the moment when the alien race was being smashed, Xu Qing's gaze did not show any fluctuations, as if he had just crushed an ant to death, and he still looked coldly at the three-eyed alien race in front of him.

The body of the three-eyed alien trembled slightly, and his breathing was obviously rapid. The expressions of those companions behind him also changed, and they were all extremely vigilant and dignified.

"Misunderstanding." The three-eyed alien took a deep breath, and realized that Xu Qing was not easy to mess with, so he spoke in a low voice while slowly backing away.

But he didn't know Xu Qing, and he didn't know that Xu Qing's principle was that any existence that threatened his life safety should be killed with all his strength, so almost at the moment when the three-eyed alien retreated, Xu Qing moved .

Its speed broke out suddenly, and the whole person turned into an afterimage. At the moment when the face of the three-eyed alien changed drastically and he waved his hand to form a spiritual protection, Xu Qing was already approaching, and he punched directly.

During the roar, the spiritual protection of the three-eyed alien race shattered and collapsed. The eyes of the three-eyed alien race shrunk to the extreme, and was about to speak, but Xu Qing's fist was so powerful that it fell directly on his chest.

With one punch, the body of the three-eyed alien trembled violently, his chest was sunken, and all organs in his body collapsed directly.

The expressions of the pirates not far away changed completely. They stood up one by one, and they were about to strike, but Xu Qing was faster than them. In fact, when he shot and killed the first one, he had already decided to kill the first one. This group of pirates wiped out the roots.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Qing's speed was astonishing. Amidst the gazes of many casual cultivators and alien races around him, his figure entered the pirate gang, and his shrill screams and roaring spell collision sound spread immediately.

In the blink of an eye, six pirates were killed or injured, and the remaining alien with wings, with an expression of unprecedented panic, was about to flee in the air, but the next moment, a sharp dagger whizzed away, piercing directly between his eyebrows, His body suddenly fell from mid-air and landed with a bang.

It's all over.

The sound of inhalation came from the mouths of all the cultivators around, and their eyes also became extremely dignified at this moment, and they all looked at the expressionless Xu Qing who walked out of the pirate's corpse at this moment.

Ignoring the gazes from all around, Xu Qing cut off the heads of the pirate corpses one by one with a dagger, walked all the way to his resting place, and then hung the pirate's head on the tree as a symbol.

After doing this, Xu Qing sat down cross-legged and looked towards the other end of the basin, where there was a rock. At this moment, behind the rock, a huge snake head and a familiar figure under the snake head appeared.

"He's here too!" Xu Qing was vigilant in his heart. He knew the other party was weird, so he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the big snake behind him.

This figure was the old man at the Banquan Road inn. He saw Xu Qing at this moment, and felt depressed from the bottom of his heart.

"Why is this kid here too!"

The two looked at each other across the basin, but quickly withdrew each other.

"Unlucky." The old man said in a low voice, but the big snake's eyes lit up obviously.

"Grumbling."

"What are you saying, hello, brother, and he can't understand your grunt." The old man glared at Big Snake angrily.

"Gululu, Gululu."

"What the hell? Do you want to ask him whether he likes snakes or eats snake gall? You are crazy, why do you need to ask? Didn't you notice just now, he glanced at your gall again."

"Gollum!"

"You don't believe it?" The old man was speechless.

"Grumpy."

"I won't ask for you. Didn't you secretly sign up to join the Seventh Peak Intelligence Division behind my back? Go back and find out how many snakes this kid killed."

The old man didn't bother to pay attention to the big snake beside him. He felt that since seeing that kid Xu Qing, the snake seemed to be bewildered and sick.

"It's not that he is looking at your figure, ha ha."
