In the temple complex, corpses are everywhere.
There were guards, entourage, and a few young bodies who knew about the dangers of the forbidden area, and the corpses of young people staying on the books, they retained the horror of their life, looking at the sky without a god.
In addition, there are dead jellyfish.
Unlike the human race, jellyfish will turn into a gray mud after death, filled with a foul smell, which is very different from the splendor and colorfulness of their lifetime.
At the same time, it also emitted an extremely rich heterogeneity, invading the surroundings and eroding everything.
And this sudden disaster is still continuing.
As the young men and women retreated in a panic, the jellyfish group roared and pursued, and on the outskirts of this jungle restricted area, killing and death were still staged.
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 everywhere, and his expression did not change much.
He had seen too many corpses.
Passing by the corpses of guards and entourage, Xu Qing put away 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 death of the jellyfish and were no longer usable.
Until, Xu Qing came to a corpse, and his steps stopped.
This is the corpse of an old man, with a big hole in his chest, the blood flowing out has dried up, and his open dark eyes seem to still have regrets from his lifetime.
Looking at this corpse, Xu Qing sighed lightly.
He was not a god, so even if the other party bought his own insurance, he could not completely guarantee its safety, especially when the fog did not appear.
After being silent, Xu Qing squatted down, covered the old stone's open eyes, and buried it again.
There is no monument, because the Thunder Team said that most of the waste pickers had no relatives during their lifetime, and they did not need to pay their respects.
Dust to dust, earth to earth.
This is the life of a scavenger, struggling in the world during his lifetime, and after his death...... Just be quiet.
This kind of sadness is actually the destination of the vast majority of waste pickers.
Standing in front of the old stone grave, Xu Qing looked in the direction of the camp outside the restricted area in the distance, recalling the past few months of life.
He has been in this scavenger camp for four months.
The Blood Shadow Captain is dead, the Fire Crow is dead, the Fat Mountain Horse is dead, the barbarian ghost is dead, the old stone is dead, the Thunder Team retreats, the Bone Knife escapes, and more scavengers die silently.
In cruel troubled times, human life is like grass.
"Only by becoming stronger can you survive." Xu Qing murmured, his expression slowly indifferent, and turned to leave.
At this moment, in the afterglow of the sunset, the wind blew, blowing the clothes of the distant young man into a rustling sound.
This voice seemed to have some coldness, gradually fainting, until it disappeared into the jungle with its figure.
The afterglow was falling, and the light was gradually fading, but it was still trying hard to shine 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, and Hikari seemed to be a little unable to catch up.
Until not long after, Xu Qing's footsteps suddenly stopped, and after stopping, he looked down at the ground, his eyes showing doubts.
Soon, Xu Qing squatted down, sniffed carefully, and finally his eyes fell on a blade of grass, which had a touch of powder that was difficult to detect.
If it weren't for Xu Qing's more solid grasp of poisonous herbs, and his understanding of the smell of this forbidden area, it would be difficult to detect the abnormality.
At this moment, he also discerned for a long time before he picked up the leaf stained with a layer of powder, concentrated for a moment and then murmured.
"The specific ingredients are unknown, but there must be centipede blood in it!"
Xu Qing's eyes flashed with brilliance, and in Master Bai's course, there was an introduction to the centipede blood.
This kind of blood has certain medicinal properties, but it is more catalytic, so when combined with other drugs, it can be condensed into a medicinal guide to attract specific animals, which is often needed when hunting.
"The arrival of those jellyfish is related to this?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, he put down the leaf with a fatal crisis, took out a pack of poisonous powder and sprinkled it on his body.
After using this to dispel the centipede blood aura that had just been contaminated, his body shook and he changed direction and moved forward.
Xu Qing did not plan to go to the place where the boys and girls brought by the old stone were withdrawn, this matter had nothing to do with him and he did not 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 people around them who can fight with big jellyfish, which is just as dangerous for Xu Qing.
The most important thing is that among these young men and women, there is a high probability that someone will deliberately attract jellyfish, and the purpose is unknown.
So after noticing their direction, Xu Qing changed direction, circled around, and returned to the pharmacy in the canyon when it was getting dark.
After putting the herbs he picked, he continued to study Baidan.
It's just that although Xu Qing didn't go to the place where the young men and women were retreating, when the night came, Xu Qing, who was preparing herbs in the pharmacy, still heard the roar and fighting in the distance, and it was getting closer and closer, which made him frown.
Until the sound of footsteps came, Xu Qing sighed secretly.
He stood up, walked out of the pharmacy, and saw the direction of the canyon entrance by the moonlight, where there was a sound of surprise.
"There's a way here!!"
"Everyone, come in."
Along with the sound, there were several teenagers dressed in tatters and very embarrassed.
They had horror on their faces, and there were more than ten 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 twenty people ran into the canyon one after another, and when the guards guarded the entrance desperately, these young men and women who survived the disaster 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 like startled birds, and immediately retreated in exclamation, and three guards behind them also arrived quickly, looking at Xu Qing with vigilance and murderous intent.
After he coldly swept past these guards, he looked at the group of young men and women, there were two people inside, and asked him to pay attention.
One of them was a little older than him, about sixteen or seventeen years old, although he was also embarrassed, but unlike others, he had little panic on his face, but was mostly vigilant.
The other is a girl, with a very sweet appearance, although her clothes are dirty and frightened, but Xu Qing, who is used to seeing all kinds of life, can see at a glance that this person's fear and falsehood are very large.
Especially ...... The woman wears a glove on her right hand, which seems to be clean, but for Xu Qing, who uses poison, the glove has many functions.
For example, sprinkle powder.
"Eight guards, their cultivation level is between six or seven condensation qi, and the others are below the fifth level, divided into three small teams."
"Only those two people, the male has a seventh level of cultivation, and the female ...... should be the one who lured the jellyfish. As for the strong men who fought with the big jellyfish, they were not among them, and there was a high probability that they would lure the big jellyfish away."
This is Xu Qing's habit, and those young men and women couldn't have imagined that Xu Qing could see so many details just by sweeping it.
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 again, and their hearts were very vigilant.
Being able to find such a canyon in the forbidden area, and building houses in the canyon, all of this means that the young man in front of him is not only familiar with the forbidden area, but also lives here.
Such a person is extremely dangerous.
"Daoist, is your lord available? We have no malice, but the strange beasts outside are chasing us, so we use this to hide."
"As soon as dawn breaks, we will leave, please forgive me for disturbing me."
The instinctive words of these guards were polite.
Their words also made the shocked young men and women behind them feel that something was wrong and looked at Xu Qing one after another.
The oldest of them looked at Xu Qing a few more times, his expression showed solemnity, while the girl with gloves squinted his eyes.
She swept the pharmacy and smelled the faint smell of herbs around her, and she had a sense of the young man in front of her.
Xu Qing frowned, looked at them, and then at the entrance, and after a long time he didn't speak, acquiesced to their existence, and turned around and walked towards the pharmacy.
His acquiescence made those guards breathe a sigh of relief, and most of the young men and women behind them were apprehensive.
Only the girl with gloves, after a strange light flashed in her eyes, spoke in a low voice with a cautious and aggrieved voice.
"You...... You are so rude, we just want to hide here, there are all strange beasts outside, we will definitely die if we go out."
Her voice had a sense of distress and pity, which made several teenagers around her who admired her muster up the courage to speak to Xu Qing one after another.
"Yes, why are you so cold-blooded."
"We have no ill intentions, we just take a break here."
"The forbidden area is not his family, why should we ask him!"
A simple sentence aroused some people's hostility towards Xu Qing, although this hostility was not much, but 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 a whistling sound suddenly came out, and a dagger was like lightning approaching the proud girl.
Her face changed, and just as she was about to dodge, the dagger had already flown past her ear, cutting off some of her hair, and with a bang, it stabbed deeply into the stone wall behind her, and some sparks burst out.
The girl's heart was shocked, her right hand was instinctively raised in short breathing, and when she looked at Xu Qing, she saw the young man in front of her, with eyes as indifferent as a wolf, with murderous intent.
This look made her heart tremble, and the guards around her and other young men and women were shocked, the former was extremely vigilant, and the latter had many people exclaiming.
"Meet in the water, don't come to test me." Xu Qing glanced at the girl deeply, suppressed the murderous intent in his heart, slowly spoke, and turned around and walked towards the pharmacy.
Under the moonlight, his figure seemed to merge with the moonlight, revealing the cold of the night, flowing through the minds of everyone in the canyon, causing these people to slowly fall silent.
In the feelings of many people, the canyon seems to be as dangerous as the jellyfish colony outside at a moment.
In this silence, the moment Xu Qing walked to the door of the pharmacy, a scream suddenly came from the entrance.
A small jellyfish found the entrance, penetrated a guard's body, devoured his internal organs, and rushed into the canyon.
Behind him, a group of jellyfish roared.
