The gray-brown bones were scattered on the black sand, some were weathered, revealing frosted roughness, and some seemed to have existed for a short time, with rotting minced meat hanging on them.
The sea breeze blew, blowing up the sand and gravel on the ground, piling up in the skulls of humans and beasts, and rolling up.
The entire Sea Lizard Island, reflected in Xu Qing's eyes, was full of gloom and cruelty, only like a crimson fallen leaf falling on the beach at sunset, as if covering their death with a tombcloth.
Unfortunately, this tombcloth is also red.
Xu Qing withdrew his gaze to look at the surrounding bones, and in the gradual darkness of the world, he calmly walked towards the jungle, and as he approached, his figure disappeared.
In the dark night, the moment he stepped into the jungle, it was covered like a pair of big hands, the sky was dark, and the day gave way.
In the jungle, Xu Qing's figure was like a ghost, extremely fast, undulating on the big trees, his eyes were like a pseudo-toothed bird, calmly observing his surroundings while moving forward.
Xu Qing is no stranger to the jungle.
Although this is an island, not a forbidden area back then, the experience of jungle survival is common here, especially in the vegetation on the ground, there are also some common herbs, which makes Xu Qing familiar with the figure in this jungle at the same time, like a fish in water, 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's eyes narrowed, and at this moment he came to a place where a tree had fallen, standing here he first observed the surroundings and the location and direction of the tree break, and then lowered his head to sweep the ground and the damaged trees.
"There are scales on the trees......" Xu Qing picked up a palm-sized gray-black chip from the remaining wood on the ground, leaving a faint fishy smell on it.
"It's the skin of a sea lizard, and it's been some time." Xu Qing had already judged in his mind that it was obvious that the sea lizard crawled out of the sea and walked all the way to the jungle, and the trees were hit wherever they passed.
"There are multiple locations like this, which means that each sea lizard that comes here to molt takes a different path, which is reasonable."
"I just don't know if the final location chosen by the sea lizard molt is random or ...... There is a general area."
Xu Qing pondered and decided to follow the road that the sea lizard had walked an unknown amount of time ago to see what was going on, and after making a decision, his speed suddenly increased, and according to the guidance of the road, it became faster and faster.
But the sense of vigilance became stronger and stronger in his heart.
Xu Qing didn't know if there were any monks here who surpassed the cultivation of condensation, although he had analyzed on the way here, although the sea lizard skin was valuable, most of the foundation building was not worth it.
But you have to guard against it, after all, many things cannot be ignored simply by judgment.
At this moment, the forest wind blew, with the smell of rotting grass and trees, Xu Qing took a breath and did not smell any other breath in it, so he continued to move forward without pausing.
Until half an hour later, when the sky was getting darker and darker, in the area near the mountains, Xu Qing jumped up and squatted on a tree canopy, with a glow in his eyes, staring not far away.
In front of him, there was a broken sea lizard skin, the whole thing was gray-black and very dry, obviously it had been a long time, it seemed to be broken by competition.
When Xu Qing came, he checked the information and knew that sea lizard skins could only have value if they were preserved in a special way when they first molted, otherwise, once they molted for too long and the spirit dissipated, they would have no value.
This is also the reason why the competition for sea lizard skins must be bloody, because all people like Xu Qing who come to this island need to wait, and then fight for them at the moment when the sea lizard skin sheds.
Xu Qing pondered, left the canopy, and expanded his exploration around.
Until he explored around the mountains and followed the mountains for a certain distance, he saw multiple such sea lizard skins, and at the same time, he found that most of the places where sea lizards shed their skin were close to the mountains, and it was obvious that the higher the mountains, the bigger and more such remnants became.
All this gave him an answer in his heart.
"Sea lizards shed their skin, should there be a specific area, yearning for high places?"
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the highest of the several mountains on Sea Lizard Island, his eyes sharpened.
"That should be the real treasure land on this island, but anyone who can go there must be powerful sea lizards, and their skins are the most valuable!"
Thinking of this, Xu Qing no longer hesitated, and moved forward at full speed towards the highest mountain, without the slightest pause along the way, and during the flexible shuttle, he also noticed the figures of monks squatting on the mountains everywhere.
These people are basically scattered cultivators, and their cultivation is about the fifth layer of condensation, although they are not very strong, but the ruthlessness in their eyes is clearly visible.
And they obviously also have self-knowledge, they all choose shorter mountains, for Xu Qing's arrival, they all stared vigilantly, noticed that he was just passing by, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qing was also relieved, he felt that so many low-level monks were gathered here, which showed that his previous judgment should be correct, there was a chance of building a foundation here, and it was not very large.
But he didn't take it lightly, because if there was really a foundation, then there was a high probability that it would be where he was going now.
In this way, not long after, at Xu Qing's speed, he climbed over mountains everywhere, and finally arrived at the highest mountain on this sea lizard island, and with the arrival, wisps of qi suddenly burst out from the top of the mountain and locked on to him.
Xu Qing paused, and after feeling it carefully, his expression was a little strange, he still didn't find the aura of foundation building.
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 peak.
The aura emanating from the skin of these sea lizards was at least five or six layers of condensation, which made Xu Qing determine his judgment that the sea lizards were indeed yearning for high places when they molted.
As for the qi machines that were probing him, Xu Qing ignored it and went straight to the top of the mountain, quickly reaching his destination.
The area at the top of the mountain was a huge basin, surrounded by trees, there were many monks scattered, their cultivation was obviously much stronger than that of other mountain cultivators, most of them looked like eight or nine layers of condensation, and even there were several of them.
There is indeed no foundation building!
And the cultivators here, their eyes were either ferocious, or cold, full of bloodthirstiness, and they were obviously desperate.
And the human race is not the majority here, but foreign races occupy the majority, among which there are solo and group.
There were also some obvious seaweed with a strong fishy smell, obviously pirates who had been at sea all year round.
They were staring at Xu Qing.
When Xu Qing was also coming, his eyes swept over them, and he immediately recognized three or five people on the wanted list, so there was a strange light in his eyes.
But he didn't choose to make a move, but found a big tree and sat cross-legged on it to rest.
Although he had some judgments in his heart about the fact that there were no foundation-building monks here, Xu Qing still felt that if there was not even a foundation-building, I was afraid that the reason was not what he thought.
After sitting cross-legged at this moment, Xu Qing thought in his heart while his eyes also withdrew from his surroundings, he was no stranger to the malice of the monks here, whether it was a slum or a scavenger camp, it was the same.
So he sat there calmly, just about to practice, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked up coldly at the pirates not far away who were still looking at here.
These pirates were a small gang, with eight monks, two of whom were human and six alien, the latter had different appearances, some had tentacles, some had three eyes, and one had wings on their backs.
They looked at Xu Qing, their eyes were not good, containing a fierce aura, and the aliens with wings inside whispered to their companions, and then Xu Qing saw the three-eyed aliens among these pirates getting up and walking towards them.
"Seven Blood Boy's disciples are not welcome here, so you can either get out of here or stay here as nourishment." The three-eyed alien race approached, and while smiling and speaking, the cultivation fluctuations of the eighth layer of condensation qi also unscrupulously unleashed, forming a deterrent.
Xu Qing looked at the alien race in front of him seriously, wanting to determine whether the other party's neck was the key point, and then looked at the other party's companion not far away, knowing that this was the temptation of the other party's group of monks.
Looking at it, Xu Qing suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed it behind him.
In the next moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared behind him, and was grabbed by Xu Qing's hand by the neck.
In the midst of the intense struggle, this translucent figure quickly became clear, revealing a foreign race with blue hair and scales on his face, judging from his clothes, it was obvious that he was with that group of pirates.
At this moment, the alien race showed horror in his eyes and was about to fight back, but as Xu Qing squeezed his right hand hard and clicked, the alien's neck was directly shattered.
There was no end, the power of the Transformation of the Sea Scriptures poured in, and in the blink of an eye, the blood in the body of this alien race was controlled by Xu Qing to directly break through the body, causing the body of this alien race to collapse and explode with a bang.
A whole body of flesh and blood, but it was not stained with Xu Qing's body in the slightest.
The organs in the bodies of the alien race are different from those of the human race, Xu Qing didn't want to distinguish where it was the key point, and completely collapsed it, and it could also be killed.
At this moment, while smashing and killing the alien race, Xu Qing's gaze did not show the slightest fluctuation, as if he was just pinching an ant to death, still looking coldly at the three-eyed alien race in front of him.
The three eyes of the alien race trembled slightly, their breathing was obviously rapid, and the companions behind him also changed their expressions, all extremely vigilant and solemn.
"Misunderstanding." The three-eyed alien took a deep breath and noticed that Xu Qing was not easy to mess with, so he slowly stepped back while speaking in a low voice.
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 and safety must do his best to kill it completely, so almost the moment the three-eyed alien race retreated, Xu Qing moved.
Its speed exploded, and the whole body turned into an afterimage, and at the moment when the three-eyed alien race's face changed drastically and waved his hand to form a psionic protection, Xu Qing was already approaching, and directly punched down.
During the roar, the spiritual protection of the three-eyed alien race directly broke apart and collapsed, and the three-eyed alien race inside it shrank to the extreme, and was about to speak, but Xu Qing's fist was like a bamboo shoot, and the decay fell directly on his chest.
With one punch, the three-eyed alien body trembled strongly, his chest was sunken, and all the organs in his body collapsed directly.
The pirates not far away, their expressions completely changed, and they stood up one by one in a low shout and were about to take action, but Xu Qing's speed was faster than them, in fact, when he killed the first one, he had already decided to eradicate this group of pirates.
In a flash of moment, Xu Qing's speed was amazing, and amidst the gaze of many scattered cultivators and foreign races around him, his figure entered the pirate gang, his mournful screams, and the roaring sound of technique collisions spread suddenly.
In the blink of an eye, the pirates killed and wounded six people, and the remaining winged alien race, with unprecedented horror in his expression, was about to flee in the air, but in the next moment, a sharp dagger roared away, stabbing directly into his eyebrows, causing his body to fall from mid-air and fall to the ground with a bang.
It's all over.
The sound of inhalation came out of the mouths of the surrounding cultivators one after another, and their eyes became extremely solemn at this moment, and they looked at Xu Qing with an expressionless face that had come out of the pirate's corpse one by one fearfully.
Xu Qing ignored the eyes around him, cut off the heads of the pirates' 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 sign.
After doing this, Xu Qing sat down cross-legged and looked at the other end of the basin, where there was a mountain rock, and at this moment, behind the mountain rock, a huge snake head was revealed, and under the snake head, a familiar figure.
"He's here too!" Xu Qing was vigilant in his heart, he knew the other party's weirdness, so he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the big snake behind the other party.
This figure was the old man from the Banquan Road Inn, and when he saw Xu Qing at this moment, he was also depressed in his heart.
"Why is this kid here too!"
The two looked at each other across the basin, but quickly retracted their respective positions.
"Bad luck." The old man spoke in a low voice, but the big snake's eyes lit up obviously.
"Gurgling."
"What are you talking about, senior brother, but he doesn't understand your grunt." The old man glared at the big snake angrily.
"Grunt, grunt."
"What the hell? You want to ask him if he likes snakes or snake gallbladder? You're crazy, do you still need to ask, didn't you pay attention just now, he glanced at your courage again."
"Gurgling!"
"You don't believe it?" The old man was speechless.
"Gurgling."
"I won't help you ask, 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 has killed."
The old man didn't bother to pay attention to the big snake beside him, he felt that since he saw Xu Qing, he seemed to be stunned and his brain was sick.
"It's not that he's looking at your figure, hehe."
