"Finally broke through."
Xu Qing stood up and threw a punch. There was a crisp sound reverberating in the air, and even the wind it lifted made the door of the house shake slightly.
This scene made Xu Qing's eyes open wide. He could feel that he was much stronger at this moment than he was yesterday.
If he were to face that giant horned python now, Xu Qing believed that with just one punch, he could directly blow up the scales on its abdomen.
Not only that, his senses were also more acute than ever. Not only could he see more clearly, but his hearing was also extremely sharp. At this moment, the knock on the door outside the courtyard also drifted into Xu Qing's ears.
Xu Qing was taken aback for a moment and walked to the main door of the house. With the moonlight outside, through the crack, he saw the figure of the little girl standing outside the bamboo gate of the courtyard.
The other person seemed to be injured and his body was trembling a little.
Xu Qing frowned and had no intention of paying attention, but the little girl was still insisting and gently knocked on the door.
After a while, Xu Qing pushed open the door of the house and walked out.
After seeing Xu Qing's figure, the little girl became obviously nervous. She held back and didn't step back, looking at Xu Qing through the bamboo gate.
What's up? Xu Qing spoke.
"I... I also got the right to live in the camp and... also found a job at the camp." The little girl stammered as she spoke.
Got it. Xu Qing nodded and was about to turn around and go back.
"Wait a moment... Thank you. I came here to thank you." The little girl said hurriedly.
You're welcome. It's just me who wants to eat it. It has nothing to do with you. Xu Qing said this and turned to walk towards the house.
Looking at Xu Qing's back, the little girl pursed her lips and suddenly spoke loudly.
Anyway, I still thank you. This kindness... I will repay you in the future. Having said that, her figure staggered and she disappeared into the darkness.
Xu Qing turned his head and took a look, but didn't pay much attention to it. After returning to the house, he took a deep breath and felt the changes in himself. Deep down, he was more confident about the idea of living a better life.
It was just a faint sting from his left arm that made him guess the heteroplasm in his body must have been very concentrated. Even the snake gallbladder had not dissolved it much.
It was late at night and quiet. There were no fierce beasts roaring outside. Xu Qing walked to the bedside, looked at the clean bedding, and then at his own dirty clothes.
He thought for a moment, rolled up the clean bedding, put it aside, then closed his clothes and lay down on the bed board.
Instinctively, he drew out a dark iron stick in his hand and held it in his palm, brewing a sense of sleepiness.
This iron stick is his most trusted companion.
Ever since he found it in a garbage dump many years ago, sensing its sharpness and hardness, he has always carried it with him as his own weapon.
"Look for a place to sell white pills in the camp tomorrow."
Xu Qing muttered to himself, touching the leather bag. Inside were some of his savings over the years and a few valuable gems he had found within the city.
He dared not take too many precious stones. He had seen the truth that it was a sin to hold a precious stone when he was young.
In this train of thought, sleepiness gradually came over Xu Qing, and her eyes gradually closed.
It was just that the iron stick he was holding in his hand was still grasping very hard without letting go in the slightest.
A peaceful night passed as the sunlight fell.
The next morning, Xu Qing, who got up very early, left the small house.
Before leaving, he looked at Captain Lei's room. It seemed that he wasn't inside. Maybe he was out. So Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and walked into the camp.
Perhaps it was because he was so shocked by the live snake's gallbladder yesterday that Xu Qing, walking in the camp, clearly felt the difference in the eyes of the scavengers around him when they looked at him.
No longer should the evil of human nature be brewed just because his youthful figure looks easy to bully.
Instead, he gained more recognition and vigilance. At the same time, those teenagers of his age who were hiding in the corner, with their listless eyes, also showed envy when they saw him.
Dignity is something one strives for by oneself.
Xu Qing thought to himself.
While looking for shops within the camp, Xu Qing was also getting familiar with the environment.
He found that there were quite a few wild dogs in the camp, roaring at each other for food. Although most of them were emaciated, some were even stronger than some.
After keeping an eye on these wild dogs, Xu Qing continued to observe the camp.
It was not until he had sketched out the entire camp in his mind that he found a shop in the inner ring area according to the map in his mind.
The shop is not small, but it's bustling with people coming and going. It seems that everything is sold inside.
Xu Qing observed outside for a while and noticed that inside the shop, the little girl from yesterday was dressed like a clerk. The other person was clearly doing odd jobs here, bustling around, with sweat all over their forehead.
It was not until Xu Qing walked into the shop that she noticed this place. Just as she was about to speak, she was called over by a scavenger to inquire about the items.
Xu Qing didn't immediately focus on the items in the shop. Instead, he first took a look at the people around him who came to buy things like him.
There were a total of seven people. Some were scanning items, some were lost in thought with their heads down, and some were bargaining. Among them, there were two, one fat and one thin, seemingly in a group.
The plump ones were round, while the thin ones had horse-like faces. Their postures were clearly tough, and they possessed considerable fluctuations of spiritual energy. At this moment, one of them was scolding the little girl, seemingly dissatisfied with her response.
Amid the little girl's anxious apology, Xu Qing looked at the items inside the store.
It was almost as he had predicted. This was a grocery store, with all kinds of goods available, including elixirs, weapons, clothes, food and so on.
So he withdrew his gaze, walked to the counter, and looked at the shopkeeper inside who was smoking a pipe and had a rather indifferent expression. He spoke calmly.
"How much does Bai Dan sell?" "
"White Dan is limited in quantity, only one per day. There are still two left today, and one ten-spirit coin." "
The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Qing. Perhaps recognizing that he was the beast fighting boy from yesterday, his attitude improved a little.
Hearing this price, even though he was mentally prepared, Xu Qing still frowned slightly.
The savings he had accumulated over the years were no more than twenty-three spirit coins. But the sharp pain from the alienation point on his arm made him not hesitate. He carefully took out twenty spirit coins from his leather bag and handed them to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper waved his right hand to put away the spirit coins, rummaged through the cabinet and pulled out a cloth bag, throwing it to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took it and opened it. Seeing two white elixirs in the cloth bag, his brows furrowed again.
The surface of these two elixirs has turned green in some areas, clearly indicating a change in texture. They are not very fresh and no medicinal aroma has emerged. They look very inferior.
All the white pills in the camp are like this. We don't have those in good condition here. Even if this thing rots, it still works. Just eat it with peace of mind.
Seeing Xu Qing's confusion, the shopkeeper said with a forced smile.
Xu Qing was very cautious and didn't eat him immediately. He intended to go back and ask Captain Lei, so he put it away and was about to leave.
Just then, a sharp light flashed in his eyes and his body suddenly swayed to the side.
Almost at the same time as he was avoiding it, one hand landed on the spot where he had just been and he missed it in one go.
Xu Qing looked coldly and saw that the horse-faced scavenger who had previously shouted at the little girl in the shop had now withdrawn his hand and looked at him with a somewhat surprised expression.
At the same time, his companion, with his round body, also stood at the door, blocking the way, staring at Xu Qing, grinning from ear to ear, revealing his yellowed teeth.
"It's Fuyama and Ma Si from the Blood Shadow Team!"
This kid was brought back by the Thunder Team. Thunder and Blood Shadow have always been at odds, so I won't get involved in your affairs. But don't waste too much time. I still have business to do.
The others in the store were also drawn to the two people's actions. After looking around, they whispered words.
And the last sentence was said by that indifferent shopkeeper.
At this moment, the passers-by outside the store also noticed this place and stopped to look with interest.
The little girl, on the other hand, looked extremely anxious and didn't know how to help.
"Don't worry. It won't be long." The horse face smiled and looked at Xu Qing, with a cold flash in its eyes.
"Child, I've killed many giant horned pythons. I won't have much trouble for you. I need white pills. Give me your two white pills and I'll let you leave safely. Otherwise, I'll cut your neck and take the white pills from your corpse."
These words made Xu Qing's gaze even colder. He looked at the other person's neck and then at the fat man blocking the door. Noticing that there were quite a few people outside, he began to weigh things up in his heart.
Either of these two people, even if their spiritual energy fluctuations were not weak, would still look like they were at the second level. He was confident that he could kill them all by himself within ten breaths.
Even if they were together, he could still kill them, but it would take a little longer.
But this is a bustling city. Once a fight breaks out, since the opposing team is a member of the squad, there will surely be a helping hand.
He doesn't want to pin all his hopes on Captain Lei's timely arrival. That's not his nature either. He doesn't like to place his hopes on others. It's best for him to take control himself.
So Xu Qing, with a blank expression, glanced at the neck of the horse-faced scavenger again. With his right hand, he took out the white red cloth bag. Without any hesitation, he threw it directly over. The other person grabbed it and took a look, smiling smugly.
His companion, Pang Shan, also stepped aside with laughter. Xu Qing didn't look back and stepped out.
The people around, whether inside or outside the store, all reacted that this was normal. Under the law of the survival of the fittest, the weak must be able to adapt to The Times. This is the way to survive.
The little girl also heaved a sigh of relief. Just now she had been holding her breath, but now seeing the crisis resolved, she continued to be busy.
As for Pangshan and Ma Si, they swaggered out of the shop and walked away as if chatting and laughing with each other.
Just... No one noticed that behind Pang Shan and Ma Si, there was a figure that seemed to have vanished far away. It was following like a shadow with sufficient patience, swaying without revealing itself.
His eyes were fixed on the two of them like wolves staring at their prey.
This figure is none other than Xu Qing.
Time passed and it was getting late.
Pangshan and Ma Si visited several locations within this camp and wandered around for a whole day, but they didn't notice the figure that had been following them all along.
It was not until the moonlight was high in the sky that the two finally parted.
The place where Pang Shan went had a bonfire, while Ma Si, carrying the meaning of evil, walked towards the dark area outside the camp, with a group of tents covered with feathers.
Just as he was about to arrive and exit from the dark corner of the camp, suddenly a gust of wind came from behind him.
Ma Si was alert and immediately turned around, but there was nothing behind him. He was stunned for a moment and his expression changed. Just as he was about to take action, it was too late.
In an instant, a small hand reached out from beside him, tightly pressing down on his mouth. At the same time, a sharp dagger slashed forcefully across his neck without seeming to pause or hesitate.
With a whoosh, blood gushed out suddenly. The horse's eyes widened as it tried to struggle.
But the little hand that covered his mouth was extremely strong, dragging his body backward. No matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail.
The feet could only struggle and stomp helplessly, unable to prevent being dragged into the darkness.
In the end, he was dragged to the corner like a chick.
Up to this moment, the little hand that had been holding his mouth still did not let go. Instead, it waited for a long time to make sure that he had lost his resistance, was suffocated and bleeding too much, and was no longer able to struggle. Only then did it let go and lay his trembling and weak body down to the ground.
It was precisely at this moment that Ma Si, in despair, relied on the dim moonlight to clearly see the figure of the cold-faced young man before him.
"Wah wah..."
Ma Si's eyes were filled with disbelief. He never could have imagined that the young man who had obediently handed over the white Dan during the day would act so resolutely and ruthlessly.
It seemed that he was very eager to tell the young man that what he had said about cutting his neck during the day was just a threat and not a murder...
But the blood in his throat prevented him from speaking. He could only watch helplessly as the young man lowered his body and rummaged through his pocket with a blank expression, in a weak wailing sound.
It was not until he had finished flipping through everything that Xu Qing found his own white elixir, which was quite a lot. Besides, there were also some spirit coins and miscellaneous items from the other side.
After putting it away, when Ma Si was extremely frightened, Xu Qing carefully took out the linen cloth wrapped around the snake's head, cautiously opened it, and skillfully pierced Ma Si's body with the snake's teeth.
Ma Si's body twitched again in an instant, gradually melting from the wound site. This feeling of being corroded and the pain made him collapse completely.
It was not until Xu Qing raised her hand to cover his eyes that Ma Si's world lost its luster from then on.
The whole body melts, turning into blood water and seeping into the soil.
Xu Qing learned from his past mistake, dug out a prepared pocket from his body, took away Ma Si's clothes and sundries, and then turned and left.
After he left, two figures emerged from the darkness at the place where Ma Si died.
It was precisely the extraordinary old man in the purple robe and his servants who no one in the Colosseum could see yesterday.
The old man looked down at Ma Si's melted ground, then raised his head to gaze at Xu Qing's receding figure, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"He's a promising talent. He can both endure in silence and be decisive in his actions. What's most remarkable is that he can handle things thoroughly while being ruthless. Not bad." "
The servant standing by looked somewhat surprised.
He had followed the old man for many years and seldom heard him say that he was a good person. This young man had already been under his attention twice, so he also looked up at the direction where Xu Qing had disappeared.
"Interesting little guy." The old man smiled and asked casually again.
"How long will it be before Master Bai arrives?" "
"Seventh Master, according to Master Bai's schedule, we should be able to reach here within the next one or two days." The servant withdrew his gaze and spoke respectfully.
Finally, he's here. This time, I must give him a good persuasion. The Purple Land is a crappy place with all the rules. What's there to be attached to? Why not come to my Seven Blood Boy and enjoy himself?
The old man burst into laughter, seemingly very happy, and then looked towards the place where Xu Qing had walked away.
"Come on, let's go and see what this little Wolf cub is going to do next."
