Chapter 7: Please eat.
While Xu Qing was observing the environment of the fighting area here, along with the clamor from the surrounding viewing seats, inside the Colosseum, at the gate that Xu Qing and his party had walked through just now, a huge wooden door fell down with a loud boom.
It smashed heavily on the ground, sending dust flying.
The sound, as if blowing a horn, made the surrounding scavengers even more excited.
Xu Qing even noticed that on the top platform directly in front of him, there was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, accompanied by a group of people, sitting at the top position.
Due to the distance, his appearance was somewhat blurred.
However, it was clear that this person's identity was not ordinary.
From such a distance, Xu Qing could feel that the spiritual energy fluctuations on the other party's body were extremely dense, exceeding all that he had ever seen.
This made Xu Qing wary and at the same time, he also had an inner guess that this person was most likely the camp master of this camp.
Because at the other party's side, Xu Qing saw that yesterday's three-handed beard was rickety, seemingly reporting carefully.
And as the camp master took his seat, that three-handed beard stood on a high platform and gestured downwards.
Soon the edge of the arena, another wooden door opened, bursts of ferocious beasts hissing and roaring sound, without the blockage of the wooden door, more clearly transmitted.
Along with the sound appeared a group of scavengers.
They were divided into four squads of three each, each carrying a huge iron cage, slowly walking out.
Within the iron cage, ferocious beasts roared and pounced around, as if they wanted to tear open the cage.
Xu Qing looked quickly, sweeping over the four iron cages.
Seeing within it were two giant wolves, one large and one small, but both with sharp teeth, their entire bodies were pitch-black, and their eyes were blood-colored.
There was even a large amount of saliva falling from the corners of their mouths, and when they looked at Xu Qing's five people, they all revealed ferocious intentions.
There was also a red bear with ruddy fur, its thick arms exceeding an adult's thighs, and its complexion was filled with irritability as it continuously shook the iron cage.
The three scavengers who carried it here were all struggling.
As for the ferocious beast within the last iron cage, it was obviously much weaker in its aura.
It was a gibbon.
Its entire body was covered in pus, seemingly bursting open at the slightest touch, especially as it seemed to be in pain, constantly bumping against the iron cage, causing the pus to constantly shatter, shocking to the eyes.
Their appearance caused the surrounding audience to boil once again.
The two teenagers beside Xu Qing's side instantly paled, the little girl also had extremely heavy terror in her eyes, and even the youth, who was originally a scavenger, was obviously much more nervous at this moment.
"How come it's four?" Xu Qing was surprised, looking towards the open wooden doorway.
Just at the moment he looked, suddenly those four roaring and struggling ferocious beasts instantly quieted down, as if they had been shocked.
At the same time, a huge iron cage that was nearly twice as big as the cage they were in was slowly lifted out from within that wooden door by six scavengers.
As the iron cage appeared, cries of alarm were immediately heard from the surrounding spectators.
"Giant Horned Python!!!"
"This time the camp master actually got a Giant Horned Python, but yeah, I guess in the camp master's eyes, this thing isn't really worth anything."
"To these little cubs, this thing will kill whoever draws it, even if we encountered it in the wild, it would take two people to fight for their lives to be able to cut it down."
The ferocious beast that existed within that iron cage was clearly a huge python.
The thickness of its body was comparable to an adult's waist, and its entire body was grayish-black with dark lines, and when that dark line was looked at closely, it seemed to depict a peak like a horn.
It coiled motionlessly inside the cage, its huge head slightly raised, its yellow vertical pupil with a gloomy cold, looking towards the outside world.
Under its gaze, both the giant wolf and the long-armed ape were actually trembling.
Only that red bear, letting out a low roar when stimulated, appeared to be fighting against it, but in reality, its body was slowly retreating until it retreated to the edge of the cage it was in.
"Don't ever draw, don't ever draw ......"
Behind Xu Qing, those two teenagers were trembling at the moment, both praying in low voices, but Xu Qing's eyes had a brilliant flash.
He knew this giant horned python, once in the slums, he had seen a python corpse carried back by someone hunting this python in the city.
At that time, he also heard people with rich experience around him talk about it, this python is very strong, once entangled by it, huge wood will be strangled by it, and the python skin is very thick.
But the body is clumsy, relatively speaking, the speed is not fast.
Its gall, on the other hand, possessed very good medicinal properties, and had a certain amount of dissolution for the body's pollution, while the snake's meat was also very nourishing.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing's mind recalled that Team Lei had said that he liked to eat snakes.
And snakes, he had caught quite a few as a child, so he licked his lips.
In addition, the alienation points on his body were getting darker and darker as he practiced, and some tingling sensations were vaguely emanating from his cultivation yesterday.
Xu Qing pondered that if he could eat the python's guts, he thought that it should dissolve a lot.
As he stared and gazed at the giant horned python, the drawing of lots began.
As the scavenger with the three-handed beard arrangement came over with five bamboo sticks, each of which was labeled with the name of the ferocious beast that needed to be fought with.
The youth was the first to go forward and draw, and after seeing what he had drawn, he was visibly relieved.
He was followed by the two teenagers and the little girl.
After the first two drew the bamboo stick in their prayers, their expressions were somewhat bitter, but the little girl looked at the bamboo stick in her hand, and despair appeared in her eyes.
The one she had drawn was none other than the Giant Horned Python, while the last remaining bamboo stick was that coyote, which was also the obviously weakest of the five ferocious beasts.
Xu Qing held the bamboo stick, his brows slightly furrowed in contemplation.
Soon, after the scavengers retreated, and they, the trialists, were all arranged to simply stop at the corners, in the cheers of the surrounding spectators, the first trial began.
The one who was arranged to appear was one of the two teenagers.
He shivered and walked out, and the beast he fought with was the thick red bear.
The process of fighting was quick, that teenager was not a match for the red bear at all, and after barely fighting a few times, he was pounced on by the red bear, and in desperation, his body was directly torn apart.
Blood splattered everywhere, ushering in the boiling of the surroundings, also accompanied by remorseful tirades.
This scene, scared another teenager directly into shivering his body, and he who was supposed to be the second to go on the field, suddenly shouted that he wanted to give up the trial.
And so amidst the booing, Xu Qing watched as this teenager was taken away by the scavengers, and how it turned out, he didn't want to know.
The third, was the youth who was originally a scavenger.
He had drawn the larger black wolf, and his experience as a scavenger had made him exceed ordinary people in terms of ruthlessness.
After a thrilling life and death struggle, he killed the wolf with his injuries, panting, and became the first success in this trial.
The gate opened, and he covered his chest and left freely.
The fourth ...... is the little girl.
When the iron prison that held the Giant Horned Python, was opened, the little girl trembled and clenched her teeth, and in despair, she was about to walk past Xu Qing to meet the battle.
But right at this moment, Xu Qing suddenly opened his mouth.
"Let's switch."
The little girl froze, and without waiting to react, Xu Qing had already replaced his own bamboo stick with it.
After drawing away the bamboo stick engraved with the Giant Horned Python, he didn't bother with the little girl's grateful gaze as he walked towards the Giant Horned Python.
As he entered, the surrounding scavengers, who had obviously seen the order before, were now clamoring.
But apart from the people who bet on him and the little girl, the bystanders wouldn't care about this kind of thing, they wouldn't, the camp master wouldn't either, everything was left to fend for itself.
Inside the arena, Xu Qing calmly walked towards the iron cage, the giant horned python within it looked at Xu Qing grimly and slowly climbed out.
As its thick body probed out of the iron cage, its scales scratched across the cage's iron bars, emitting a burst of ear-piercing friction.
The animal's instincts made it perceive that this teenager in front of it was a bit different from the prey it usually encountered.
Therefore, after climbing out, this Giant Horned Python didn't launch an attack at the first opportunity, but instead coiled up in a formation outside the iron cage, its head held high with vigilance, staring at the ever-approaching Xu Qing.
This scene made the surrounding spectators interested, and the uproar was a little less.
Xu Qing looked as normal, approaching step by step, perhaps it was because he had stepped into the Giant Horned Python's attack range, or perhaps it was stimulated by his aura, the coldness within the Giant Horned Python's vertical yellow pupils thickened in an instant, and its tail struck the ground violently, emitting a roaring sound.
Its body is more in this sound, lending force to rush out, in mid-air mouth open, between the hideous reveal sharp teeth, more scattered out of the unpleasant stench, toward Xu Qing, whistling, to devour it.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, coldly looked at the rapidly approaching giant horned python, in the other side close to the moment, his body swayed to avoid, did not choose to take advantage of the opportunity to strike, not to mention to pay attention to the huge python head that shuttled from the side, but the eyes of the sharp awn, such as a hunter, closely observing this python's abdomen.
In his observation, the Giant Horned Python pounced, a low roar emanating from its mouth, its body twisted, and instantly, its tail lashed out at the back, as it did so, setting off an ear-piercing whistling sound as it jerked ferociously towards Xu Qing.
Hunting instincts, even more so that this giant horned python head at this moment forcibly turned, and tail a back and a front, as if a circle to be linked together, straight to Xu Qing, as if to entangle him.
Xu Qing was silent, his eyes still observing the abdomen of this Giant Horned Python, until the snake's tail approached, his right hand suddenly clenched his fist, and at the moment when the snake's tail drew in, he punched away.
Bang.
Hai Shan skill cultivation, although only a layer, can bring Xu Qing's physical body enhancement, is still not small, at this moment, the snake tail was bombarded, directly rolled backwards, so that the head and tail can not be connected, and the giant horned python is obviously some pain, but this is not fatal injuries, so that its ferocious intent rose, red eyes, the head fiercely crashed to, toward Xu Qing a bite to go.
But Xu Qing's eyes condensed, there was a brilliant aura shining, he finally found the place he wanted to look for, at this moment, his body took a step, not retreating but advancing, directly close to the center of the giant horn python's body in the upper area.
The right hand clenches the fist forcefully and fiercely hit out, a fist, two fists, three fists ......
The fist blasted.
The impact from Xu Qing caused the Giant Horned Python to keep falling back, hissing even more intensely, trying to entangle Xu Qing, but the power contained within Xu Qing's fist made it difficult for its head and tail to touch.
As for the bombarded abdomen, because the scales are relatively weak, after a few punches, was actually Xu Qing hit some cracks, blood oozing out, toughness is damaged.
Seeing this, not waiting for this giant horned python to change its shape, Xu Qing's eyes flashed with a cold and stern aura.
His left hand immediately drew out the dagger tied to his calf, and in the flash of the dagger's cold aura, he swiftly stabbed directly into the giant horned python's flesh.
It instantly broke in and ruthlessly opened up.
Blood splashed everywhere, in this giant horned python's mournful hiss, its abdomen was opened a shocking wound, revealing the snake's gall within the cavity.
This snake was very large, but it was obviously mutated, and its gall bladder was very small, like an egg.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing lifted his right hand to penetrate into the cavity, grabbed the snake's gall bladder and yanked hard, and in the Giant Horned Python's mournful hissing, he took out its gall bladder alive.
Fresh blood sprayed and showered down the sand.
Ignoring these traces of blood, Xu Qing took the snake gall bladder, his eyes showing a strange aura, in front of the face of the surrounding scavengers with different expressions, he directly placed it in his mouth and swallowed it in one mouthful.
Calm swallowing, was alive to take the gall of the giant horned python, the pain of the crazy struggling, hissing harshly, the body forcefully beat the ground to set off the dust, seems to want to vent severe pain.
The head is even more violently to Xu Qing bumped, red eyes through the madness, large mouth open to the extreme, as if to Xu Qing completely swallowed.
Xu Qing looked coldly, in the moment the other party approached, his body suddenly jumped up, once again avoiding the crashing head, in mid-air, he waved his right hand, and immediately black iron sticks appeared.
When he looked down, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his body sank downward, with the help of his own strength and speed, as well as his body weight, the impact of the iron stick reached the extreme, and he stabbed the snake's heart area viciously.
Shattering open the snake's scales, the momentum was as if it was a crack, and the blow pierced in.
Boom sound, this giant horned python whole body strong trembling, as if there is no strength to support the body, the head and tail landed heavily, miserable hissing also in this instant came to an abrupt end, only the tail in the ground powerless beat sound spread around.
After a long time ...... with the dissipation of dust, the scavengers around watching this battle, have been surprised.
Many people stood up, and one by one, they looked at the teenager inside the arena who was currently pulling out the iron stick from the snake's corpse with a heavy gaze.
If it was an adult decapitating the Giant Horned Python like this, it wouldn't make them look like this.
But a small and thin looking child, can so cleanly live snake to take the bile and swallow, and a hit to kill, and the expression of indifference, from the beginning to the end without the slightest change.
This is extremely rare in the camp.
The coyote as well as the red bear inside the cage on the side were obviously scared, and were trembling there at the moment.
This didn't seem to be a trial, but a hunt.
Under the gaze of the surrounding crowd, the teenager put the iron sign away, clasped the wound of the Giant Horned Python with one hand, and walked towards the gate of the Colosseum.
Behind him, the blood from the Giant Horned Python was dragged out in a red line that was shocking to the eyes.
Beside the gate, the giant door had yet to open, and Xu Qing turned back to look at the high platform.
Not long after, the three handed beard on the high platform reacted, with some residual palpitations, immediately gestured, and soon ...... the gate opened with a boom.
Revealing the door, leaning against the wall with his hands clasped against his chest, the long awaited Lei team.
He smiled and looked at Xu Qing.
"Can I stay at your place?" Xu Qing dragged the snake corpse and looked up at Team Lei.
"Yes." Team Lei laughed.
Xu Qing nodded and threw the snake corpse in his hand over.
"You like eating snakes, this is on you."
Lei Team was stunned, then laughed loudly, receiving the Giant Horned Python corpse, and in the midst of this laughter, he brought Xu Qing with him, gradually walking away.
It wasn't until they were far away that a boiling clamor came out from within the fighting arena.
And in the midst of this boiling uproar, in the corner of the crowd, there was an old man dressed in purple robes, followed by an expressionless middle-aged man who looked like a servant, and in the center of this middle-aged man's brow, there was a totem of a five-pointed star.
They were sitting there, clearly out of place with their surroundings no matter their clothes or their aura, but it seemed that no one could see that they existed.
Even the camp master, in his eyes, didn't even have their figures.
That old man's face was rosy, and there was actually thunder contained in his eyes, as if it could destroy everything if it dispersed externally, the entire person was extremely extraordinary, and at this moment, as he sat there, looking at Xu Qing's distant figure, he couldn't help but smile.
"This teenager, interesting."
