Chapter 56 Team up to Die
"If we face Lin Qiu again now, we won't need to work as hard as before."
Zhou Qing flexed his arms, his muscles getting stronger and stronger.
"You can go to Hantan to have a look." Zhou Qing felt that his body was full of strength.
Including Er Qing, two against one is enough to deal with the black-scaled python.
Even if the golden-backed giant centipede is there, two against two can escape unscathed.
"But before that, we have to make some preparations."
Zhou Qing walked out of the barrel, put on clean clothes, then entered the silkworm room and took out the 'Shadowless Legs' secret book from under the floor tiles.
During this period of time, he concentrated on practicing the Blue Water Kung Fu and the White Cloud Palm Technique. He had no time to practice other martial arts.
Now that the blood-boosting powder is almost used up, the advancement of the Blue Water Kung Fu and the White Cloud Palm Technique will definitely slow down, and it's time to practice the Shadowless Leg.
Seven days later.
[Skill: Shadowless Leg]
[Progress: Proficient (6/800)]
[Effect: Quick Walk]
The progress of practicing the Shadowless Leg exceeded Zhou Qing's expectations, and in just seven days, it reached the 'proficient' stage.
Although this is only a third-rate kicking technique, just one move of 'quick walking', the fact that it can be practiced so quickly should be related to the fact that the blue water technique has entered the second level.
"Sure enough, cultivating both internal and external aspects is the right path."
As the shadowless leg entered the proficiency stage, Zhou Qing felt that some kind of change had occurred in his legs, and the muscles in his legs seemed to be stronger.
"it's time"
Zhou Qing packed up the tools for dealing with the black-scaled python, and then carried the basket on his back up the mountain.
boom!
boom!
boom!
On the southern slope of Black Wind Mountain, in the cave where Hantan is located, huge roaring sounds are constantly heard.
"Fuck me!"
From the dark cave entrance, a young man wearing linen clothes and holding a knife hilt flew out. His body rolled several times in the air, and finally he managed to stabilize himself and half-crouched on the ground.
"Hi~!"
A giant black-scaled python sprang out of the hole less than two meters in diameter.
The giant python raised its flat head high and its golden vertical pupils were full of ferocious aura.
At this time, an emerald green caterpillar about a foot long fell from the cliff above the top of the mountain, and the crystalline threads spit out of its mouth shot out like a sharp sword.
With a snapping sound, the scales on the python's neck were penetrated by silk threads.
However, the giant python swung its body violently, and the emerald green caterpillar was thrown away by a strong force.
The next moment, the giant python swam back into the cave again, its body disappearing into the darkness.
Bang!
"You're cruel!" Zhou Qing threw away the handle of the broken knife in his hand, pulled out a dented steel plate from the inner armor, and rubbed his stuffy chest.
This giant python is really too cunning.
When he saw him and Er Qing coming, he immediately launched an attack. Seeing that he was no match, he actually swam back to the cave.
The dark and cramped environment inside was very unfavorable for Zhou Qing.
Due to his limited leg skills, the broken knife in his hand hit the wall before it could hit the body of the giant python, and then the python's tail was swung off, knocking him out.
If he hadn't been wearing inner armor with steel plates sandwiched inside, and had his true energy protecting him, he would have been seriously injured just now.
This black-scaled giant python has extremely strong defense and exaggerated power.
Zhou Qing's full palm, which contains true energy, can only cause it great pain. Unless it hits the brain, it is difficult to cause fatal damage.
With just his pair of fleshy palms, it is still too difficult to break through the defense.
Need a handy weapon.
Zhou Qing looked at the broken long knife on the ground with a thoughtful look on his face.
"It looks like I have to go to the county town again. It just so happened that grandma knitted another set of inner armor and boxing gloves."
He hasn't touched Lin Qiu's two hundred taels of silver notes yet.
To deal with these strange beasts and monsters, we still need better weapons.
If you encounter the golden-backed giant centipede again later, you will deal with it in the same way.
"Puff!"
Green Silk Gu came to Zhou Qing's side and collected the scales that the black-scaled python had dropped during the battle.
"It's quite a harvest." Zhou Qing collected the scales.
If these twenty-odd scales were all mounted on the inner armor, they would definitely fetch a good price.
"Next time I come, I will skin you beast and make snake soup!"
Zhou Qing rubbed his sore chest, glanced at the entrance of the cave hatefully, then turned around and left, going straight down the mountain.
When passing by the false persimmon forest at the foot of the mountain, the King of Golden Silkworms flew down from the tree crown and landed in his palm.
"Is someone following me?"
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.
After several months of growth, the King of Golden Silkworms has further improved his intelligence and can now roughly express his thoughts clearly through telepathy.
"You mean the person following me is the person in the previous portrait, Zhang Jian! There is another one besides Zhang Jian."
Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.
"It seems your luck has come to an end." Zhou Qing didn't expect that Zhang Jian would target him instead of looking for him.
These days, Zhang Jian has been staying in the town, living in seclusion and never leaving Zhao Mansion most of the time.
I didn’t expect that I would have the courage to go out today.
"Split up and look for them!" Zhou Qing immediately ordered, asking the King of Golden Silkworms to take the other Golden Silkworms to find them.
After several months of reproduction, the number of golden silkworm Gu worms multiplied from six to twenty-four.
If he hadn't focused on feeding the purple fire ants, the number of golden silkworm Gu worms would have increased further.
Simple false persimmon leaves can no longer meet the growth needs of golden silkworms.
"Er Qing, you go too!"
Zhou Qing gave orders to Green Silk Gu.
"Puff." Erqing spit out a thread and wrapped it around the tree trunk in front of him. His body swayed and, like Spider-Man, he quickly disappeared into the dense forest ahead.
However, after nearly a quarter of an hour of searching, neither Jin Can nor Er Qing found any trace of Zhang Jian.
"Since you like to follow me, you'd better follow me to the end."
Zhou Qing's eyes were fierce.
The next day, at dawn, Zhou Qing carried the package and walked out of the town.
"really."
After walking out of Xin'an Lane, Zhou Qing found someone following him.
He pretended not to know and walked all the way out of the town.
There were three people standing far behind him.
Zhou Qing walked twenty miles in one breath, then suddenly accelerated and plunged into the dense forest.
After a while, two young men chased into the woods.
"Did this kid find us? Suddenly ran so fast?!" The horse-faced man in linen clothes darkened his face.
"Don't worry, I asked Uncle Zhao to chase me first. If you hadn't repeatedly emphasized it, I wouldn't have called Uncle Zhao. It's really killing a chicken with a knife."
The young man next to the horse-faced man said disdainfully.
The young man was luxuriously dressed and had handsome features. He was clearly Zhao Lie, the seventh young master of the Zhao family.
And that horse-faced man is Zhang Jian, the steward of Zhao Mansion.
"Seventh Master is right!" Zhang Jian nodded and bowed. Zhao Lie said that Uncle Zhao was the housekeeper of the mansion. He was a martial artist who was perfect at refining meat. He was indeed able to deal with Zhou Qing with ease.
"Wait." Zhao Lie took off the folding fan from his waist and fanned it gently.
"Buzz."
After a while, Zhang Jian heard the subtle buzzing of mosquitoes in his ears.
Snapped!
"Where did the mosquito come from!" Zhang Jian slapped the mosquito that flew to his neck. He felt a little itchy and couldn't help but scratch it. Unexpectedly, the more he scratched, the more itchy he was, accompanied by bursts of burning sensation.
"ah!"
Suddenly a shrill scream came from the forest.
"Uncle Zhao! Stay alive!" Zhao Lie heard the sound and shouted loudly towards the forest, and ran towards the forest.
After running a few steps, he suddenly noticed something unusual around him.
Looking back, I saw Zhang Jian fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and twitching all over.
"What?!" Zhao Lie was shocked. He didn't even see when Zhang Jian was poisoned.
"Uncle Zhao!!"
Zhao Lie had no idea of rescuing Zhang Jian and ran into the forest, hoping to meet with the housekeeper in the mansion.
"Uncle Zhao! Uncle Zhao! Where are you?!"
Zhao Lie shouted loudly and suddenly felt a drop of water fall on his cheek.
He wiped his face casually, and a bright red appeared on his fingertips.
"Blood?!" Zhao Lie was startled and looked up.
I saw a man wearing a monkey mask standing on the tree trunk, holding a corpse in his hand.
Blood seeped out from the wound on the corpse's neck.
"Ah!" Zhao Lie saw the corpse's face clearly, and suddenly the soul of the dead came out, and he ran away.
After a while, Zhou Qing slipped Zhao Lie, who had already peed his pants, to Zhang Jian, who was breathing out a lot but taking in little air.
