Chapter 19 Qi and Blood Come to the Door, and the Corpse Transforms!
"Three?"
Zhou Qing asked Green Silk Gu to determine the number of people and their general location, and he immediately had a countermeasure in mind.
"Could it be Zhang Cheng and his two men?"
If it was really the three of them who followed him up the mountain so early in the morning, they were obviously up to no good.
For those who want to harm you, it doesn't matter how you kill them.
"Er Qing, you're in for a treat today." Zhou Qing calmed down.
"Puff!!!" Green Silk Gu was very excited. For it, anything Zhou Qing allowed it to eat was food.
rustle
rustle
Zhou Qing quickly ran towards the mountainside, walking through the bushes.
There is still a risk of being discovered when killing someone at the foot of a mountain or at the base of a mountain.
Even in broad daylight, most areas above the mountainside will be shrouded in miasma and inaccessible, making it easier to dispose of corpses.
Last time, there was no way to dispose of Zhang Dahai's body in the town. Now in the mountains, there is a one-stop service for murder and burial.
"Er Qing, do you want to eat the corpse?" Zhou Qing communicated with Qingsi Gu in his mind as he ran.
"Pfft!!" Green Silk Gu was furious, saying that who was he looking down on? It only absorbed blood essence, and he was not interested in the rest of the garbage.
"Okay, I'm quite picky about food." Zhou Qing was speechless, running faster and faster, and the movement became louder.
Although Black Wind Mountain is not considered a high mountain among the nearby mountains, its altitude is over three thousand meters.
For Zhang Cheng, who doesn't often climb mountains, climbing hundreds of meters in one breath was exhausting.
As for the two younger brothers beside him, they were resting on the tree trunk like dogs panting.
"Damn it! Is this little bastard Zhou Qing a rabbit? How can he run so fast?"
Zhang Cheng looked at the endless bushes and weeds in front of him, his vision completely affected.
"Brother Cheng, what should we do now?" one of the men asked, while getting rid of the cocklebur sticks on his clothes and hair.
"Brother Cheng, I heard that the mountain is not peaceful recently. There are poisonous insects everywhere here. How about we go down the mountain first? Let's go to the bottom of the mountain to stop him."
The man who almost had his wrist pinched by Zhou Qing yesterday was a little timid.
"What are you afraid of? That little bastard is alone, there are three of us! If he really breaks through and becomes a warrior, do you think he will let us go? Remember this! The more people repay kindness, the more they will hold grudges. !”
Zhang Cheng yelled in a suppressed voice.
Yesterday I heard that in order to repay Piao's mother for a meal, Zhou Qing took her home to raise her as a relative. He tossed and turned that night and couldn't sleep at night.
If it is revealed that the third child killed Zhou Xian, and the eldest brother has a background in the Zhao family and can still protect himself, he will be finished.
Besides, if you are worried about a warrior who has broken the barrier, you will never have a peaceful life.
Anyway, if it were him, he wouldn't have given himself a way to survive.
So before dawn, Zhang Cheng found two younger brothers and waited outside the town.
When Zhou Qing went up the mountain, he killed him on the mountain and buried the body on the spot.
"Look for me! If you don't kill this little bastard today, I will kill you two!"
Zhang Cheng's face was gloomy, and the ferocious scar like a centipede on his face began to tremble.
"yes!"
The two younger brothers trembled and could only obey orders.
After all, Zhang Cheng had practiced boxing and kicking for a few days, and although he had not broken through to the Skin Refining Realm, he would have no problem dealing with the two of them with bare hands.
The three men were holding machetes and moving forward cautiously.
It was already bright outside at this moment, but in the tall and dense jungle, there was not much sunlight falling through the gaps in the leaves.
The higher you go, the thicker the fog becomes and the lower the visibility.
"Um?!"
After walking for a while, Zhang Cheng suddenly saw a section of the basket exposed at the edge of the bushes in front of him. He immediately winked at the two younger brothers beside him.
The two of them understood and spread out to the left and right, preparing to surround them.
The three of them carefully stepped on the fallen leaves piled on the ground, trying not to make any noise.
"Die!"
When the man on the left walked to the edge of the bush, he jumped in suddenly, and pointed the machete in his hand at the bush with a burst of Xia Jiba's knife skills.
Whoosh!
When he cut the bushes in front of him, a pitch-black centipede more than a foot long suddenly sprang out. When its mouthparts opened and closed, it sprayed out a pool of black-red venom, hitting his eyes.
"Ah! My eyes!!"
The heart-piercing pain caused the man to let out a shrill scream.
The men surrounding him on the right were so frightened that they backed away.
"ah!"
Suddenly, Zhang Cheng's screams came from his side.
The man looked in horror, and saw a man emerging from the fallen leaves piled under the big tree nearby, with blood dripping from the sickle in his hand.
It's Zhou Qing!
Zhang Cheng's face was distorted, and he limped and leaned against the big tree behind him. His right Achilles tendon was bleeding profusely. It was obviously cut off by Zhou Qing's sneak attack with a sickle.
"ah!"
Seeing Zhou Qing rushing towards Zhang Cheng with a sickle, the man emboldened himself, picked up the machete and slashed at Zhou Qing's neck.
Bang!
Zhou Qing's back seemed to have eyes as he suddenly fired a carbine and raised a large handful of lime in his hand.
"Ahhh!"
The man's reaction was not slow, but a small amount of lime still got into his eyes. He immediately felt his eyes burning and hurting. He waved the machete in front of him randomly and let out a frightened roar.
When he wiped off a little bit of lime on his right eyelid and squinted one eye, he discovered a scene that made him feel chilled all over.
Zhang Cheng, who was leaning against the tree trunk, was shaking violently. After a while, his complexion turned blue-black.
Zhou Qing waved the sickle in his hand, and the tip of the crescent blade pierced Zhang Cheng's neck, causing blood to spurt out.
The man looked at the calm Zhou Qing. For the first time, he saw such a terrifying expression on the face of a young boy with a somewhat immature face. To him, killing someone seemed like slaughtering a pig or a dog.
The man glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the other person's eyes were ulcerated and his skin was black. He fell straight to the ground. It was obvious that he could no longer die.
"ah!"
His liver and gallbladder were split, and his soul was in full swing. He threw away the machete in his hand, rolled and crawled down the mountain, and screamed in terror as he ran.
While escaping, he looked back from time to time.
But he saw Zhou Qing standing there in the mist holding a sickle, like a god of death, looking at him with cold eyes, as if he had no intention of chasing after him.
"Gudu~Gudu~"
The green silk Gu swallowed the big man's essence and blood in big mouthfuls, and the body that was originally full of muscles quickly shriveled up.
Immediately afterwards, the green silk Gu got into Zhang Cheng's body and began to devour his blood essence.
"Gudu~Gudu~!"
Zhang Cheng's energy and blood are far stronger than the other person's.
Soon, Zhang Cheng's body also shriveled up, and his body fell into the pile of fallen leaves.
The green silk Gu returned to Zhou Qing's body.
"Hiss~" Zhou Qing closed his eyes, enjoying the energy and blood brought by the green silk Gu.
The power of Qi and blood in his chest, which was as thin as a hair, was growing rapidly.
"People's survival instinct is really strong."
Zhou Qing looked at the direction in which the last person was escaping. The other person was stabbed in the body by the poisonous thread of the green silk poison, and he ran away in a short time as if nothing happened.
It's a pity that if you are not a barrier-breaking warrior, you will never be able to withstand the toxin of the green silk Gu.
"Puff!"
Green Silk Gu urged him to eat.
Zhou Qing looked at the bodies of Zhang Cheng and another big man, and had no choice but to come back and deal with them.
Before leaving, he took away the valuables from the two people, carried a basket on his back, and chased after the last person.
"Wow~!"
He had just chased a few hundred steps when a strange noise suddenly came from the tree above his head.
Looking up, the first thing he saw was his shaking legs and half of his body being swallowed into his mouth.
It was a giant python that was measured to be over ten meters long. Its body was wrapped around the tree trunk and it was swallowing Zhou Qing's trophy vigorously.
"puff--!!!"
Green Silk Gu's round body appeared on Zhou Qing's shoulder, and a fierce light flashed in his mung bean-sized eyes.
thump!
As if it felt threatened, the giant python spit out the corpse. Its golden vertical pupils stared at the green silk Gu, which was no bigger than a palm. It dragged its body up the tree trunk and assumed an attack posture.
"!" Zhou Qing's hair stood on end as he held the sickle in his hand tightly.
Since the Green Silk Gu was going to be beaten, as the eldest brother, he naturally couldn't give in.
"Hey~!"
Just when the battle was about to break out, an eagle cry came from the sky at the top of the tree canopy.
A bald eagle with a wingspan of more than four meters fell straight down, opened its sharp claws and grabbed the giant python's seven inches.
Although it had an absolute advantage in terms of size, the giant python immediately chose to escape and swim deeper into the jungle.
Seeing this, the bald eagle just stared at Qingsi Gu, and then chased after him.
"Hoo~"
Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Qingsi Gu was actually a little disappointed.
"Okay, okay, don't be too greedy." Zhou Qing comforted.
Only then did the green silk Gu get into the big man's body, enjoying the last of his blood essence.
When the green silk Gu sucked the big man into a mummy, Zhou Qing dug up the soft soil on the spot and buried his body.
When he returned to his previous position, he found that the bright yellow miasma had enveloped that area.
"Huh? Why did the miasma spread so quickly today?"
Zhou Qing's eyes narrowed.
"That's good, it saves me the trouble of burying the body."
Zhou Qing weighed the six pieces of silver found from the three people in his hand, and rushed towards the mountain stream, preparing to clean the blood on his body.
"puff!"
Less than half an hour after Zhou Qing left, a withered and blackened hand suddenly stretched out from the pile of fallen leaves covered by the miasma.
PS: Second update. I'll try my best to keep it from chapter to chapter, so I hope you can read it fluently! In the future, if it is a 2,000-word chapter, it will be posted at 12 noon. If the number of words is relatively long, like today's two chapters are close to 3,000 words, there will be one chapter at 12:00 and one chapter at 20:00. The additional update time is uncertain.
