Chapter 34 An Unexpected Meeting

There were corpses everywhere in the temple complex.

There were guards, followers, and a few corpses of young people who knew the dangers of the restricted area. They were sitting on books. They retained the fear of their lives and looked at the sky godlessly.

Beyond that, there are dead jellyfish.

Unlike humans, jellyfish will turn into a gray mud after death, filled with stench, which is completely different from the colorful life.

At the same time, it also exudes an extremely strong heterogeneity, invading the surroundings and eroding everything.

And this sudden disaster is still going on.

As the young men and women retreated in panic, the jellyfish roared in pursuit. Killing and death were still taking place outside the jungle restricted area.

When Xu Qing arrived at the temple complex, it was already an hour later.

Walking in the temple complex, Xu Qing looked at the corpses everywhere, without much change in his expression.

He had seen too many corpses.

Passing by the corpses of guards and followers everywhere, Xu Qing collected some dead jellyfish and prepared to go back and study them.

As for the items on these corpses, almost all of them were invaded by the rich heterogeneity formed after the jellyfish died and were no longer usable.

Until Xu Qing came to a corpse, his footsteps stopped.

This is the corpse of an old man. There is a big hole in his chest. The blood flowing out has dried up. The regrets of his life still seem to remain in the dim eyes that are open.

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 mist does not appear.

After silence, Xu Qing squatted down, covered the old Shitou's open eyes, and buried him again.

There is no monument, because the Lei Brigade said that most of the scavengers had no relatives during their lifetimes, and there was no need to pay homage.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

This is the life of a scavenger. He struggles in the world during his lifetime, and after death... he just needs to be quiet.

This kind of desolation is actually the fate of most waste pickers.

Standing in front of Lao Shitou's grave, Xu Qing looked in the direction of the camp outside the restricted area in the distance, recalling his life over the past few months.

It has been four months since he came to this scavenger camp.

Captain Blood Shadow is dead, Fire Crow is dead, Fat Mountain Horse is dead, Barbarian Ghost is dead, Old Stone is dead, Thunder Team retreats, Bone Knife escapes, and more scavengers also die silently.

In cruel troubled times, human life is like a piece of grass.

"Only by becoming stronger can you survive." Xu Qing murmured, his expression gradually became indifferent, and he turned to leave.

At this moment, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the wind blew, blowing the clothes of the departing young man.

This voice seemed to have some coldness, and gradually became fainter, until it disappeared into the jungle along with its figure.

The afterglow fell, and the light gradually became fainter, but it still strained through the dense leaves, trying to shine the sparse light on the young man running in the jungle.

But the young man's speed was too fast, and it seemed that Guang was unable to catch up.

Until not long after, Xu Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped. After stopping, he looked down at the ground, doubts in his eyes.

Soon, Xu Qing knelt down and smelled carefully, and finally his eyes fell on a blade of grass, with a touch of powder on it that was difficult to detect.

If it weren't for Xu Qing's better grasp of poisonous weeds and his good understanding of the smell of this restricted area, it would be difficult to detect the abnormality.

After a long period of identification, he picked up the leaf covered with a layer of powder, concentrated for a moment and murmured.

"The specific ingredients are unknown, but there must be centipede blood in it!"

There was a twinkle in Xu Qing's eyes. Master Bai's course included an introduction to Centipede Blood.

This kind of blood has certain medicinal properties, but it is more of a catalytic agent. Therefore, when combined with other drugs, it can be prepared into a drug that attracts specific animals, which is often needed during hunting.

"Is the arrival of those jellyfish related to this?" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, put down the deadly leaf, took out a packet of poisonous powder and sprinkled it on his body.

After using this to dispel the aura of the centipede blood that he had just been tainted with, he swayed and moved forward in a different direction.

Xu Qing has no intention of going to the place where the boys and girls brought by Lao Shitou have evacuated. This matter has nothing to do with him and he is unwilling to participate in it.

Even if there are friends of Chen Feiyuan among these people, he has no obligation to help, and these people are surrounded by strong men who can fight big jellyfish, which is equally dangerous to Xu Qing.

The most important thing is that among these young men and women, there is a high probability that someone deliberately attracted jellyfish, and the purpose is unknown.

So after noticing their location, Xu Qing changed direction, made a circle, and returned to the pharmacy in the canyon when it was getting dark.

After putting away the picked herbs, he continued to study the white elixir.

It's just that although Xu Qing didn't go to the retreat of those young men and women, when late at night came, Xu Qing, who was mixing herbs in the pharmacy, still heard the roaring and fighting sounds in the distance, getting closer and closer, which made him frown. rise.

After the sound of footsteps was heard, Xu Qing sighed secretly.

He stood up, walked out of the pharmacy, and saw the direction of the entrance of the canyon through the moonlight, where there was a sound of surprise.

"There is a road here!!"

"Everyone, come in quickly."

Following the sound, several young men in shabby clothes appeared.

There was fear on their faces, and there were more than a dozen people behind them, most of whom were companions of similar age, as well as seven or eight guards who were all injured.

A total of more than 20 people ran into the canyon one after another. When the guards guarded the entrance, the young men and women who had survived the disaster also breathed a sigh of relief and noticed the environment in the canyon.

They soon saw Xu Qing's pharmacy and Xu Qing standing there.

"Someone!"

The moment they saw Xu Qing, these young men and women were like frightened birds, and they immediately retreated with exclamations. Three guards behind them also came quickly, looking at Xu Qing with vigilance and murderous intent.

This murderous intent made Xu Qing's eyes a little cold. After he coldly swept over these guards, he looked at the group of young men and women. There were two people among them that made him pay special attention.

One of them was a little older than him, about sixteen or seventeen years old. Although he was also embarrassed, he was different from others. He was not very flustered on his face, but more vigilant.

The other was a girl with a very sweet appearance. Although her clothes were dirty and she was frightened, Xu Qing, who was used to seeing all kinds of life, could see at a glance that this person's fear was very fake.

Especially... this girl wore a glove on her right hand, which seemed to be for cleanliness, but for Xu Qing who used poison, gloves had many uses.

For example, sprinkling powder.

"Eight guards, with cultivation between the sixth and seventh levels of Qi Condensation, and the others below, are divided into three small teams."

"Only those two, the man seems to be at the seventh level, and the woman... should be the one who led the jellyfish. As for the strong men who fought with the big jellyfish, they are not among them. It is likely that they led the big jellyfish away."

This is Xu Qing's habit, and those young men and women could not have imagined that Xu Qing could see so many details with just a glance.

But these guards are obviously different from those young men and women. They felt the coldness in Xu Qing's eyes, and looked at the pharmacy again, and they were all very alert in their hearts.

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.

"Daoyou, is your master here? We have no ill intentions, but we are being chased by the strange beasts outside, so we hide here."

"We will leave at dawn, please forgive us for disturbing you."

The guards were instinctively polite.

Their words also made the young men and women behind them who were still in shock feel that something was wrong, and they all looked at Xu Qing.

The oldest boy looked at Xu Qing a few more times, his expression was solemn, and the girl with gloves narrowed her eyes.

She glanced at the pharmacy and smelled the faint smell of herbs around her. She had an idea of ​​the boy in front of her.

Xu Qing frowned, looked at them, and then looked at the entrance. After a long while, he didn't say anything, acquiesced to their existence, and turned to the pharmacy.

His acquiescence made the guards feel relieved, and the young men and women behind them were mostly nervous.

Only the girl with gloves had a strange light flash in her eyes, and she spoke in a cautious and aggrieved voice.

"You... you are so rude, we just want to hide here, there are strange beasts outside, we will definitely die if we go out."

Her voice was full of pity and love, which made the young men around who admired her also muster up the courage to speak to Xu Qing one after another.

"Yeah, why are you so cold-blooded?"

"We have no ill intentions, we just want to take a break here."

"The restricted area is not his, why should we ask him!"

With just one sentence, some people aroused hostility towards Xu Qing. Although the hostility was not much, it still made the girl feel proud.

She wanted to use others to test the bottom of the boy in front of her.

But the next moment, a cold light suddenly flashed from Xu Qing, and a whistling sound suddenly came out. A dagger approached the proud girl like lightning.

She changed her face and was about to dodge, but the dagger had already flown past her ear, cutting off some of her hair. With a bang, it pierced deeply into the stone wall behind her, and some sparks burst out.

The girl was shocked, and her right hand instinctively raised while breathing rapidly. When she looked at Xu Qing, she saw the boy in front of her, with a wolf-like cold look and murderous intent.

This look made her heart tremble, and the guards and other young men and women around her were all shocked. The former was extremely vigilant, and many of the latter exclaimed.

"We just met by chance, don't try me." Xu Qing looked at the girl deeply, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, spoke slowly, turned around and walked towards the pharmacy.

Under the moonlight, his figure seemed to merge with the moonlight, revealing the coldness of the night, flowing through the minds of everyone in the canyon, making these people slowly silent.

In the feelings of many people, the canyon seemed to be as dangerous as the jellyfish outside at a moment.

In this silence, when Xu Qing walked to the door of the pharmacy, a shrill scream suddenly 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 it, a group of jellyfish came roaring.
