Chapter 85: The Fierce God Lands on the Island
Gray-brown bones are scattered on the black beach. Some are weathered and rough like frosted sand, and some seem to have been around for a short time, with pieces of rotting meat still hanging on them.
The sea breeze blew up and stirred up the gravel on the ground, which piled up and curled up in the skulls of humans and animals.
The entire Sea Lizard Island reflected in Xu Qing's eyes, full of gloom and cruelty. Only the sunset glow like a red leaf falling on the beach seemed to cover their death with a tomb cloth.
Unfortunately, this grave cloth is also red.
Xu Qing retracted his gaze and looked at the remaining bones around him. In the gradually darkening world, he walked calmly towards the jungle. As he got closer, his figure disappeared.
The night, when he stepped into the jungle, covered him like a pair of big hands, the sky was dark, and the day gave way.
In the jungle, Xu Qing's figure is like a ghost, moving very fast, rising and falling on the big trees. His eyes are like a pseudodontia, calmly observing the surroundings while moving forward.
Xu Qing is no stranger to the jungle.
Although this is an island and not a restricted area back then, the experience of survival in the jungle is common here, especially the vegetation on the ground. There are also some common medicinal herbs, which makes Xu Qing familiar with it, and at the same time, his figure is in this jungle. Inside, he is like a fish in water and moves very quickly.
But he also gradually discovered something special.
In this jungle, many trees have collapsed, and most of the collapsed areas are connected to the ocean in a line.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and came to a place where trees collapsed. Standing here, he first observed the surroundings and the location of broken trees and the direction of falling, and then lowered his head to scan the ground and the damaged trees.
"There are scales on the trees..." Xu Qing picked up a palm-sized gray-black flake from the remaining wood on the ground, with a faint fishy smell lingering on it.
"It's the skin of a sea lizard, and it's been there for a while." Xu Qing had already made a judgment in his mind. It was obvious that the sea lizard crawled out of the sea and headed towards the jungle, hitting trees wherever it passed.
"There are multiple locations like this, which means that every 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 to shed its skin is random or... there is a general area."
Xu Qing pondered, and decided to follow the road that the sea lizard had traveled not long ago to see what happened. After making a decision, his speed suddenly increased, and he followed the guidance of the road, getting 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 had surpassed Qi Condensation cultivation. Although he had analyzed it on the way here, although the sea lizard skin was valuable, most foundation builders would look down on it.
But we have to be careful, after all, many things cannot be ignored simply by judgment.
At this moment, the forest wind blew, carrying the smell of rotting vegetation. Xu Qing took a breath and found no other smell in it, so he continued to move forward without pausing.
Half an hour later, when the sky was getting darker and darker, Xu Qing jumped up and squatted on the crown of a tree near the mountains, with a dim light in his eyes, staring not far away.
In front of him, there was a broken sea lizard skin. It was gray-black and very dry. It had obviously been a long time and it seemed to be broken due to fighting.
Xu Qing checked the information when he came here and knew that the sea lizard skin can only be valuable if it is preserved in a special way when it is first shed. Otherwise, once it is shed for too long and its spirituality dissipates, it will have no value.
This is also the reason why the fight for the sea lizard skin must be bloody, because all people like Xu Qing who come to this island need to wait, and then fight for it when the sea lizard skin sheds.
Xu Qing pondered, left the tree canopy, and expanded the scope of exploration around him.
Until he explored the mountains and walked along the mountains for a distance, he saw many sea lizard skins like this. At the same time, he found that most of the places where sea lizards shed their skins were close to the mountains, and obviously the higher the mountains, so The bigger and more residual skin there is.
All this gave him the answer.
"The sea lizard sheds its skin. It should exist in a specific area and yearn for high places?"
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the tallest of the several mountains in Haili Island, his eyes sharp.
"That should be the real treasure in this island. 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 peak. He did not pause at all along the way. As he shuttled flexibly, he also noticed the figures of monks squatting on the mountains.
These people are basically casual cultivators, and their cultivation level is around Ning. Although they are not very strong, the ruthlessness in their eyes is clearly visible.
And they were obviously self-aware and chose shorter mountains. They all watched Xu Qing's arrival with vigilance. After noticing that he was just passing by, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that so many low-level monks gathered here, which meant that his previous judgment should be correct. The probability of foundation building here was not very high.
But he didn't take it lightly, because if there was a foundation, it would most likely be where he was going now.
Just like that, not long after, with Xu Qing's speed, he climbed over the mountains and finally arrived at the highest mountain on Haili Island. As he arrived, wisps of Qi suddenly erupted from the top of the mountain, locking in Got him here.
Xu Qing paused, and after feeling it carefully, he looked a little strange. He still didn't notice the aura of foundation building.
So he walked forward with a calm expression, and also noticed the large number of broken sea lizard skins on the mountain.
The breath emitted from these sea lizard skins was at least in the form of condensed layers, which made Xu Qing confirm his judgment that the sea lizards were indeed yearning for heights when they shed their skins.
As for the auras that were probing him, Xu Qing ignored them and went straight to the top of the mountain, and soon reached his destination.
The mountaintop area was a huge basin, surrounded by trees, and there were many cultivators scattered around. Their cultivation was obviously much stronger than that of other mountain cultivators. Most of them were at the eighth or ninth level of Qi Condensation, and there were even several who had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Condensation.
There were indeed no foundation-building cultivators!
And the cultivators here, each of them had a cruel or cold look, revealing bloodthirstiness, and were obviously desperate people.
And the human race was not the majority here, but the alien race occupied the majority, some of them were alone, and some were in groups.
There were also some who obviously had a strong smell of sea on their bodies, and they were obviously pirates who had been on the sea all year round.
They were staring at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was also walking over, his eyes swept over them, and he immediately recognized the person on the wanted list, so there was a strange light in his eyes.
But he did not choose to take action, but found a big tree and sat cross-legged on it to rest.
Although he had some judgment in his heart that there were no foundation-building cultivators here, Xu Qing still felt that if there was not even one foundation-building cultivator, the reason might not be what he thought.
At this moment, after sitting cross-legged, Xu Qing thought in his heart while withdrawing his eyes from the surroundings. He was not unfamiliar with the maliciousness of the cultivators here, whether it was the slums or the scavenger camp, they were all the same.
So he sat there calmly, just about to practice, but frowned slightly, looked up and looked coldly at the pirates not far away who were still looking at this place.
These pirates were a small group, with eight cultivators in it, two of whom were human and six were aliens. The latter looked different, some had tentacles all over their bodies, some had three eyes, and one had wings on his back.
They looked at Xu Qing with unfriendly eyes, and the alien with wings inside whispered to his companions. Then Xu Qing saw the three-eyed alien among these pirates stand up and walk towards him.
"Disciples of the Seven Blood Pupils are not welcome here, so you either get out immediately or stay here as nutrients." The three-eyed alien approached, grinning and speaking, and the fluctuations of his eighth-level Qi Condensation cultivation were also released unscrupulously, forming a deterrent.
Xu Qing carefully looked at the alien in front of him, trying to determine whether the opponent's neck was a vital point, and then looked at the opponent's companions not far away, knowing that this was a test by the other group of cultivators. If he was easy to bully, he would become their target of plunder.
As he watched, Xu Qing suddenly raised his right hand and grabbed behind him.
The next moment, a translucent figure suddenly appeared behind him, and was grabbed by the neck by Xu Qing's hand.
During the fierce struggle, the translucent figure quickly became clear, revealing an alien with blue hair and scales on his face. Judging from his clothes, he was obviously traveling with the pirates.
At this moment, the alien's eyes showed fear, and he was about to fight back, but as Xu Qing pinched his right hand fiercely, with a click, the alien's neck was directly shattered.
It was not over yet. The power of Huahaijing poured in. In the blink of an eye, the blood in the alien's body was controlled by Xu Qing to directly break through the body, causing the alien's body to collapse and explode with a bang.
There was blood and flesh on the ground, but there was no stain on Xu Qing's body.
The organs in the alien's body are different from those of the human race. Xu Qing didn't want to distinguish where the vital points were. He could kill it by completely collapsing it.
At this moment, while crushing the alien, Xu Qing's eyes did not show any fluctuations, as if he was just pinching an ant to death, and he still looked coldly at the three-eyed alien in front of him.
The three-eyed alien's body trembled slightly, and his breathing was obviously rapid. The expressions of his companions behind him also changed one after another, and they were extremely vigilant and solemn.
"Misunderstanding." The three-eyed alien took a deep breath and realized that Xu Qing was not easy to mess with, so he spoke in a low voice while slowly retreating.
But he didn't know Xu Qing, and he didn't know that Xu Qing's principle was to do his best to kill any existence that threatened his life and safety, so Xu Qing moved almost at the moment when the three-eyed alien retreated.
His speed exploded, and the whole person turned into a residual image. At the moment when the three-eyed alien's face changed drastically and waved his hand to form a psychic defense, Xu Qing was already close and punched him directly.
Amidst the roar, the psychic defense of the three-eyed alien collapsed directly in all directions. The three-eyed alien inside, his eyes shrank to the extreme, and just as he was about to speak, Xu Qing's fist fell directly on his chest like a broken bamboo.
With one punch, the body of the three-eyed alien trembled violently, his chest was sunken, and all the organs in his body collapsed directly.
The expressions of the pirates not far away changed drastically. They stood up one by one with low shouts and were about to attack, but Xu Qing was faster than them. In fact, when he killed the first one, he had already decided to wipe out this group of pirates.
In a flash, Xu Qing's speed was amazing. Under the gaze of many casual cultivators and aliens around him, his figure rushed into the pirate gang. The shrill screams and the roaring sound of magic collision spread immediately.
In the blink of an eye, six pirates were killed or injured. The remaining alien with wings was about to flee in unprecedented fear, but the next moment, a sharp dagger whistled and pierced directly into his forehead, causing his body to fall from mid-air and land with a bang.
Everything was over.
The sound of inhaling came from the mouths of the cultivators around him. Their eyes also became extremely solemn at this moment, and they all looked at the expressionless Xu Qing who was walking out of the pirate's corpse with fear.
Xu Qing ignored the stares from all around and used a dagger to cut off the heads of the pirate corpses one by one, walked all the way to his resting place, and then hung the pirate's head on the tree as a symbol.
After doing this, Xu Qing sat down cross-legged and looked at the other end of the basin. There was a rock there. At this moment, a huge snake head was revealed behind the rock, and a familiar figure was revealed under the snake head.
"He's here too!" Xu Qing was alert in his heart. He knew that the other party was weird, so he narrowed his eyes and glanced at the big snake behind him.
This figure was none other than the old man from the Banquan Road Inn. When he saw Xu Qing, he felt depressed in his heart.
"Why is this kid here too?"
The two looked at each other across the basin, but quickly looked back.
"Bad luck." The old man said in a low voice, but the eyes of the big snake visibly lit up.
"Gulu gulu."
"Senior brother, how are you doing? He doesn't understand your gulu." The old man glared at the big snake angrily.
"Gulu, gulu."
"What the hell? Are you asking him whether he likes snakes or eating snake gallbladders? You're crazy. Why should you ask? Didn't you pay attention just now? He glanced at your gallbladder again."
"Gulu!"
"You don't believe it?" The old man was speechless.
"Gurgulu."
"If I don't ask for you, didn't you secretly sign up to join the Seventh Peak Intelligence Department behind my back? Go back and find out for yourself how many snakes this kid has killed."
The old man was too lazy to pay attention to the big snake next to him. He felt that since the snake saw that boy Xu Qing, it seemed to be crazy and mentally ill.
"It must be that he is looking at your figure, haha."
