Infinity through different life

Chapter 22 I'm Bald

Xu Jing had a thought, and immediately clicked on the plus sign behind the first-level flame.

Boom~!

As 100 points of origin were deducted, his Dantian seemed to add fuel to the fire, and the flowing inner energy burned violently.

But this kind of burning lasted very short, and was only limited to the Dantian. It took only a few breaths for him to regain his composure.

"Is this reaching the second level of flame?"

Xu Jing looked at the display on the system interface, and was a little surprised. He carefully sensed the dantian, and found that there seemed to be a slight change in the internal energy.

He spread his palms, and flames appeared. This time the color was slightly darker than before, and the intensity had indeed increased, but it was still not enough.

But fortunately, the plus sign that can continue to improve is still there, so Xu Jing chose to continue to improve without thinking too much.

Second, third, fourth...

Each time it consumes 100 points of origin, although it only strengthens a little each time, but unexpectedly, this level seems to be very large, and he has raised it to level nine in one go.

And level nine is not the limit. On the system interface, the "+" sign behind the level nine flame still hasn't disappeared, but it has turned red, like a warning label.

At the same time, a row of words slowly appeared under the status bar.

After Xu Jing finished reading it, his face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.

The system prompts that the current flame level has reached a critical value, but his body is not strong enough to control the next stage of flame, warning him to proceed with caution.

He felt that the body temperature on his body at this time was obviously beyond the range of a normal person, but because he had previously mastered the Fire Sword technique to an advanced level, his body had undergone several consecutive improvements, and he was still adaptable to the ninth-level flames.

"Strengthen the body, I want a stronger body."

He kept thinking silently in his heart that when he crossed the giant python, he used this method to break through the genetic restriction and possess a strong scale armor.

Since the system said that his body was not strong enough, in his mind, he only needed to strengthen his body to a sufficient level.

once, twice, three times...

I don't know how many times I read it silently, but the system didn't respond at all.

"It doesn't work..."

Xu Jing stopped chanting silently. He remembered that the full name of the system was "Heaven and Myriad Realms Crossing the Alien System". At this moment, thinking about it, maybe some rules of the system only apply to alien life, not human beings.

He stretched out his hand, and the kung fu began to operate, and a group of crimson flames burst out instantly, burning quietly in his palm.

This ninth-level flame is much stronger and more stable than the first-level flame, but he has no idea whether he can deal with demons and ghosts.

Do you want to continue to improve?
Xu Jing hesitated, but soon he made a decision.

Destiny will be in your own hands!
Without the red stone, he didn't know if he would have the chance to activate the system in this life, but it was precisely because of the red stone that he and even the entire Xu family fell into a huge crisis.

At other times, he might wait until he has enough confidence to continue to improve, but the current situation makes him dare not take any chances.

Fight!

Xu Jing closed his eyes, holding resolute courage, and ruthlessly tapped on the red plus sign behind the ninth-level flame.

Boom~!

Like a volcano erupting, a mass of crimson flames erupted from the dantian in his body, and shot out of his body more than one meter high.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Jing turned into a burning man.

"what--!"

He couldn't stand the pain anymore this time, and roared out at the top of his lungs. At the same time, he tried his best to focus on the plus sign after the rapidly decreasing health value.

…………

Guishui City is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is a Yizhuang in the forest not far from the North Gate City, which is specially used to store unburied corpses.

In the past two days, two weird cases have occurred in a row. The total number of people killed in the Tang family and the county government is nearly two hundred.

At this time, the corpses in the Yizhuang were piled up one by one in a dense pile, which looked particularly oozing.

The guard of Yizhuang is an old man with a haggard face who is about to decay.

In the entire Guishui City, only a small number of people know the old man's surname is Hu, but they don't know his specific name.

Old man Hu has lived in Yizhuang for more than ten years. No matter how many corpses there are or how miserable the death is, he has long been accustomed to it.

As usual, after lunch, he moved a bench and sat outside the door basking in the sun. After a while, his eyelids twitched, and he fell asleep drowsily.

"Sister, what did you call me here for?"

A sudden soft female voice sounded in the Yizhuang, and then a shadow was projected from the wall and reflected on the ground in the village.

The shadow has a long tail that sways rhythmically, plus erect triangular ears, and a pointed face, it is obviously not a human being.

"Come and take a look." There was a cold snort in the Yizhuang, and another woman said in a cold voice: "There are nearly two hundred corpses here, but in the blood crystals you gave me, there are only about 20 corpses. The weight of a person, should you give me an explanation."

"Sister, calm down!" The figure on the fence flickered, and the voice sounded from inside Yizhuang: "Please listen to my explanation..."

She seemed to be very afraid of the other party, and she didn't dare to hide it right now, and told everything that happened in the past two days.

"You said that after you succeeded in the Tang Mansion, you were plotted against by the scorpion from Heijie Mountain, which caused the blood crystal to be dropped unintentionally, and then when you chased and killed the opponent and returned to find it, the blood essence energy in it was gone?"

"Yes."

"Hmph!" The person with the cold voice knew that the other party would not dare to lie to her, and continued, "Then, have you found out who the blood crystals passed through during the process of dropping them?"

"I've checked, and only Xu Maozong, the county lieutenant in the city, has handled it. I also heard news today that the young master of the Xu family who was born disabled has recovered."

"Okay, then you take the blood crystal and go to Xu's house again at night."

"Sister, now the government has reported to the Daliang court through special means. If those bastards from the black evil guard come, we are no match at all. We should leave here as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, the Black Demon Guards won't arrive until the day after tomorrow at the earliest. One day is enough time for us to avoid their pursuit and escape to another place."

"OK then."

……

Xu Mansion in the city.

Xu Maozhe, who had just returned from work outside, found that Xu Maozong had returned, and hurriedly looked for him.

With his energy, he naturally found out what happened in the county government office, and now his whole body is flustered, without the calmness of the past.

"Brother, does what happened in the Yamen have anything to do with the red stone?"

Xu Maozong nodded with a sullen face, "I was careless this time."

"What should we do now?" Xu Maozong wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead like ants on a hot pan.

"Why panic!" Xu Maozong said calmly: "You are the head of the family. At this time, you must stay calm and don't get into trouble."

Xu Maozhe trembled his fat body, smiled wryly and said: "Brother, I understand the truth, but now the lives of everyone in our family are at stake, how can I calm down, that kind of thing is not something we can deal with at all."

Xu Maozong took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to let Jing'er leave Guishui City tomorrow morning with the youngest son of Zhifu Ye, and go to the Central Plains to join a senior brother I had a good relationship with before."

"Alright." Although Xu Maozhe was very reluctant, he still agreed, but then he thought of something and asked, "Then what should we do tonight?"

The affairs of the Tang Mansion and the county government all happened at night. Thinking of what might happen tonight, he couldn't help shivering, feeling a chill all over his body, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back unconsciously.

"Tonight..." Xu Maozong sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He didn't have any confidence in his heart. He could only say that he would do his best and obey fate.

But at this moment, Xiaolian's panicked cry suddenly came from outside the door: "It's not good! Something happened to the young master!"

"What!" Xu Maozong and Xu Maozong stood up almost at the same time, and rushed out with panicked faces.

……

When Xu Jing woke up leisurely, he found himself lying in a huge bathtub like a cooked prawn, red and naked.

Next to her, Xiao Lian held a wooden bucket in her hand, continuously scooped out the hot water in the tub, and then handed it to Xu An and Xu Quan who were running back and forth, and then returned a bucket of cold water to pour into the tub.

"Master, you are awake!"

After seeing Xu Jing open his eyes, Xiaolian was extremely surprised and said to Xu An: "Go and inform the two masters quickly."

After Xu An glanced at Xu Jing, he hurried out.

After a while, Xu Maozong and Xu Maozhe rushed over.

"Jinger, it's great that you're okay."

Both of them looked scared, they were really terrified by what they had seen before.

Xu Jing said with an apologetic look: "Father, uncle, I made you worry."

Xu Maozong approached, stretched out his hand to sense the temperature of Xu Jing's body, put it into the tub to test the water temperature, exhaled and said, "Finally it's down, it should be all right."

Xu Maozhe also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he patted his chest and said, "You brat, you really scared my father to death."

"I'm fine." Xu Jing smiled, and after seeing Xu Maozong's hesitant expression that he wanted to ask something, he took the initiative to say: "I'll talk to you in the study later."

"Okay." Xu Maozong nodded, greeted him, and pulled Xu Maozhe out the door.

After they left, Xu Jing didn't care about Xiao Lian's face, and stood up directly from the bathtub, picked up the dry towel beside him and wiped his body.

Xiao Lian has taken care of Xu Jing for many years, helped him change clothes and scrubbed, and has been very familiar with him for a long time, so she didn't feel embarrassed and shy by the side, instead she laughed with a "puchi" and said, "Master, your hair and eyebrows are all burned."

Xu Jing touched his bare head, looked down again, shook his head helplessly, and said angrily: "Why don't you go get me some clothes?"

Xiao Lian held back her smile, turned around and went out, and returned with a set of clothes after a while.

While helping Xu Jing dress, she asked curiously: "Master, how did you turn yourself into a Burning Man? Also, why is your skin okay? It really scared me to death before."

"Why are there so many?" Xu Jing straightened his collar, glared at Xiao Lian, turned around and went out the door.
