Chapter 13: Evil Shadow
"Let's go!" The cross gaze swept over the Lei Team as his body decisively retreated backwards, and the Luan Tooth and Barbarian Ghost on the side did the same, quickly retreating.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, looking at Lei Team's figure walking towards the wolves, watching his entire body's spiritual energy erupt, forming a deterrent to the wolves.
His footsteps did not move, and the iron sign in his hand was slightly raised, a cold aura flashing across the tip of the sign.
"Kid, do you know why Team Lei is the captain." A distant voice came from the cross that leapt away.
"It's not just because Team Lei's sixth level Qi Condensation cultivation far exceeds ours, it's more about his commitment and judgment as a captain in the face of a crisis."
At the same time that the voice of the cross came out, a roar echoed from its location.
It was a large tree 200 feet away, which was broken by the bow in Cross's hand, and fell to the ground with a roar.
Barbarian ghosts are also the same, luan teeth the same move, a large tree fell, forming a barrier to cover, leaving a gap as the exit, cross and luan teeth did not pause, once again sped.
The only hand shield, one hand wolf tooth stick of the savage ghost to stay in place, leaning against a large tree, such as a small mountain, guarded there.
At the same time, the Lei Team's side also suddenly erupted, their hands shining with piercing awns, rushing into the wolves.
Wherever the wolves touched them, they would surely die a miserable death as their flesh and blood collapsed.
There were just too many wolves, and soon Lei Team's figure was drowned out.
Only roars and wolf howls were continuously heard, and the cross in the distance, at this moment, also came out with a low roar.
"Kid, come join us, there's a time for you to strike!"
Xu Qing mentally judged that this was the Thunder Squad's battle plan, so he no longer hesitated to go straight to Barbarian Ghost.
The Barbarian Ghost grinned and pointed to the exit of the gap behind him, Xu Qing glanced at him and weaved through the gap, chasing after Cross and Luan Teeth in the distance.
Soon, he saw Luan Ya, who had cleared out an area and blocked the surrounding area with trees, busy there.
She took out a lot of powder from her body, spreading it out in the surrounding area, and even bit her fingers, drawing patterns on the ground with blood that outsiders couldn't understand.
After noticing Xu Qing, she didn't have time to speak, her eyes signaling Xu Qing to go quickly.
Xu Qing's eyes swept away, no hesitation to fly through, until in the Luan teeth behind two hundred feet away, he saw squatting in a large tree on the cross.
This tree was extremely high, as if it was a vantage point that provided an unobstructed view of the battlefield, and the cross crouching there, looking at Xu Qing who was speeding closer, transmitted low words.
"In the direction behind me, two hundred feet away, you take charge!"
Xu Qing nodded heavily, already knowing the Thunder Squad's battle plan by heart.
With a leap, when he reached the range of two hundred feet, he immediately swept through his surroundings, not bothering to change any of his surroundings, but hiding in the silt under a shrub.
It was the same as hunting within the ruined city, not moving a muscle.
Just in the instant he hid, a stronger rumbling sound came faintly from the distance.
Shielded by trees, Xu Qing couldn't see the scene eight hundred feet away, but he could sense the intensity of the battle there.
Indeed, at this moment, eight hundred feet away, the figure of the Lei Team dashed out from within the wolves, and even though he was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, it was inevitable that he would appear to be in a sorry state even when he could not consume too much.
Fortunately, his control of his own spiritual energy is very keen, retaining half of the state, in the pursuit of the black scaled wolves, withdrawing to the barbarian ghost.
The Barbarian Ghost laughed fiercely, the wolf tooth stick in his hand was raised violently, and in the moment when the Thunder Team leapt past his side, it ruthlessly smashed into the pursuing Black Scaled Wolf.
The cross of the supreme position, his eyes also stared at this moment, and the strong bow in his hand suddenly pulled the string.
With a sharp whistling sound, the arrows made of spiritual energy drew a path of wind trails, falling towards the wolves and assisting the savage ghosts.
When the mournful hissing echoed again, the Lei Team had already left the place where the Barbarian Ghost was and approached towards Luan Tooth, and behind him, the Barbarian Ghost was alone, like a mountain facing the earth, blocking everything.
In this way, Xu Qing, who was hiding in the mud, saw the first returnee, the Thunder Team that whizzed past Luan Ya and the Cross.
Thunder squad sped past Xu Qing, his afterglow swept his hiding place, no time to open his mouth just nodding his head, and immediately went two hundred feet away, sitting on his knees and swallowing the white dan, recuperating and at the same time, preparing for the next round of strikes.
This was Thunder Squad's retreat plan.
The Thunder Squad, being the strongest, would be the first to block, while the Barbarian Ghost would be the second wave to intercept, and when he was about to run out of strength he would withdraw, and the task of blocking the wolves would be continued by Luan Teeth, followed by Cross.
Week after week, in this way, they could each have rest time.
This was the most suitable method for a small team to fight in concert within a heterogeneous dense forbidden zone.
And the most tired among them were the Thunder Team and the Cross.
The former blocked the longest and killed the most wolves, buying a lot of time for their teammates behind them.
As for the latter, in addition to being a part of intercepting the wolves themselves, they also had to be on the high ground to guarantee the safety of their teammates as they retreated.
It could be said that each person's arrangement was important, and the most important thing was their tacit understanding and trust in each other!
"Is this the Scavenger Squad ......"
Xu Qing's eyes showed determination as he hid himself, and as time passed, he soon saw the Barbarian Ghost's panting approaching body.
Another moment later, he looked over to see Luan Ya covering his chest, his face pale.
The last one to race past him was Cross.
His face was cold, seemingly as usual, but Xu Qing still felt the fluctuation of nearly depleted spiritual energy in his body, and behind him, the wolves hissed densely in pursuit.
When he passed by Xu Qing's place, the cross seemed to hesitate a little.
"I can." Xu Qing saw the other party's unspoken intentions and spoke in a deep voice.
Without saying a word, the cross swung away, and in an instant, the wolves came whistling.
The wind that kicked up blew across Xu Qing's face, carrying a fishy odor, especially the dozen or so at the forefront, their entire bodies pitch black with crimson eyes, exuding ferocity and madness all over.
Apparently the Thunder Squad's first round of combat arrangements had caused them to suffer considerable deaths and injuries, and the stimulation of blood had caused these Black Scaled Wolves to turn berserk.
At this moment, they didn't seem to notice Xu Qing who was hiding, and were about to chase after the cross.
But the moment they arrived, a dagger suddenly flew out, approaching with a whirring sound, directly stabbing into the forehead of the foremost Black Scaled Wolf.
The strength was so great that it instantly penetrated.
The black-scaled wolf let out a mournful sound and suddenly died, and while the body landed with inertia, Xu Qing's figure transformed into a remnant trail and thundered out.
The black iron stick in his hand shone with a cold aura, fiercely stabbing into the eyes of a black scaled wolf, penetrating the head after his body swayed and clenched his left hand into a fist, forcefully blasting towards the third wolf that wanted to sneak attack behind him.
The wolf's head suddenly shattered, and blood splattered all over Xu Qing.
Killing the three wolves in a flash, Xu Qing's figure shifted again.
His speed was perfectly revealed at this moment.
The entire person was incomparably nimble, like a killing Rakshasa, traveling and weaving within the wolves, his gaze cold and his strikes decisive.
With the sharpness of the black iron swords, the screams of a black scaled wolf before its death spread in all directions.
The wolf blood on his body is getting more and more, his hands are dyed bright red, although sticky, but the iron stick that he is grasping is still firm, the color of the iron stick, at this moment, has also turned red.
Only the distribution of wolves, after all, there are some from his side to leap over.
There were also some claws and teeth that left wounds on his body.
But under Xu Qing s speed, the former was barely rushed out of the block by him, while the latter ...... his purple crystal s terrifying recovery power, in this battle, played a miraculous effect.
All the superficial wounds healed quickly in a few breaths, and even the heavier injuries no longer bled.
This scene was not clear to outsiders because his entire body was filled with wolf blood.
Compared to the healing of his injuries, the recovery of his physical strength was even more horrifying, and the sustained combat power of his entire body was astonishingly continued.
So gradually, he was surrounded by wolf corpses all over the place, eyes in the stern more and more cold, insisted on the time beyond everyone, making the surrounding wolves, actually also appeared to be some of its deterrent intention.
From afar, the sunlight penetrates the dense foliage, scattered fall on his body, refracted light in its whole body blood suffused, as if he turned into a blood mango.
And this scene was also seen by the Thunder Team behind him two hundred feet away and the Cross at the heights further away.
Both of them had their hearts and minds set off fluctuations, clearly shaken by Xu Qing's ruthlessness and tenacity.
"Kid, retreat!" Team Lei suddenly spoke.
Xu Qing still had some strength left, but he also felt the severe depletion of his spiritual energy.
Although the purple crystal could restore his physical strength and injuries, the loss of spiritual energy could not be compensated for.
It was good that he was a body refiner, unlike Luan Ya, who couldn't strike without his spiritual energy.
But there was still some impact in the end, causing him to absorb the four directions of spiritual energy mixed with rich heterogeneous qualities, and the tingling pain in his arm's alienation point became more and more intense.
So after hearing Team Lei's words, Xu Qing didn't hesitate and immediately retreated.
But in the instant he retreated, a black-scaled wolf in the wolf pack, whose eyes were not all red, but black with one eye, leapt up and pounced on Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's eyes flashed with a cold aura, and the iron stick in his hand turned into a blood trail, suddenly penetrating its head, and his body was just about to continue to retreat, but just then ......
Under the dappled sunlight, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or not, but the shadow of this falling Black Scaled Wolf corpse seemed to distort.
It was actually spreading rapidly on the ground towards Xu Qing here.
The sunlight in this place was only scattered, not dense, so all of this prevented him from being able to determine it at first glance, and in the next instant, the shadow came into contact with his body.
Xu Qing's body shook violently.
An indescribably evil intent was about to invade his entire body in an instant.
However, in this instant, the purple crystal that had been buried in his chest and hadn't moved in any way since the beginning except for its restorative power.
At this moment, it suddenly shook, and a cold current erupted from within.
With the outbreak, the feeling of being invaded by evil disappeared in an instant.
And this cold flow came fast, disappeared just as fast, in the blink of an eye there was no trace, the purple crystal also returned to normal, as in the past as motionless.
Xu Qing froze, but at the moment it was too late to think about it, after the body recovered, he sped backwards, and the scene just now, it all happened instantly, so whether it was the Lei team or the cross in the distance, did not find the slightest.
At this moment, in Xu Qing's retreat, the Thunder Team took a step to usher in, their eyes remaining shaken.
"You've done well, quickly go to the rear to rest."
"The Black Scaled Wolves that live in the depths of the forbidden zone prefer a place with rich heterogeneous qualities, while the peripheral area is relatively lighter compared to the depths of heterogeneous qualities, so no matter why they appear, they don't like it here, and as long as they can't be attacked for a long period of time, they will surely leave on their own."
After saying that, the Lei Team's entire body's spiritual energy erupted in large strides, impacting towards the black scaled wolves chasing behind Xu Qing.
Barbarian Ghost's figure also arrived at a rapid speed, obviously he had waited behind for a long time, and his heart was also anxious due to the long time, at this moment, after arriving and seeing Xu Qing's whole body's blood as well as the countless wolf corpses that were not far away, he also sucked in his breath, and stepped forward to go and hold Xu Qing.
"No harm done." Xu Qing didn't let the other party assist him, looked back at the Thunder Team, and finally, under the Barbarian Ghost's respectful gaze, he quickly walked away.
As he passed by Luan Ya, she seemed to have gotten the news as well, her complexion tinged with shock upon seeing Xu Qing, and after some thought, she took out a leather pouch from her body and threw it to him.
Xu Qing took it, touched the shape of the elixir inside, and already knew in his heart what it was, so he thanked Luan Ya, and in Luan Ya's gaze, flew away until he saw the cross.
The cross was silent in the canopy, nodding his head towards Xu Qing, the recognition in his eyes was obvious.
Xu Qing didn't say anything either, gently nodding his head in a gesture, and it was only when he reached the end of the party that he found a spot to sit down, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and took out the White Dan and swallowed three of them.
As the dan melted, he began to absorb the spiritual energy around him to recover.
Time passed, half an hour later, Xu Qing opened his eyes, his mental exhaustion was cushioned, but his eyes revealed a touch of confusion, he realized that the heterogeneous quality in his body, it seemed ...... not to be a lot.
So he rolled up the sleeve of his left hand and looked at it, and the confusion in his eyes turned into astonishment in an instant.
The alienation point on his arm was actually ...... one less!
But the cultivation is obviously still refining the second layer, and after experiencing the previous killing, not only did not weaken, on the contrary, with the recovery at this moment, seems to be more refined than before.
Especially he remembers very clearly, before the fight due to passive absorption of spiritual energy, arm two alienation points have a strong tingling.
As for the White Dan, it wasn't that Xu Qing hadn't eaten it before, the effect wouldn't be so amazing, but at this point there didn't seem to be any other explanation.
Except for the matter of ...... the instantaneous outbreak of the purple crystal cold stream.
"Shadow, Evil Intent, Crystal Eruption Cold Stream ......"
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes, recalling the bizarre scene from before.
He was certain that what he had watched of the shadow touching him was by no means an eye blur, nor was it an illusion of sunlight scattering.
He then carefully recalled the scene where the crystal erupted with a cold current, and it seemed that in that instant, the evil intent that had invaded him was swept away by the cold current and inhaled within the crystal.
"Eaten?" Xu Qing guessed with some astonishment.
--------
It has been a long time since I logged on, and I feel that the starting point is very strange, and I can't even operate it, and I saw you guys talking about the character card and the volume name, so I messed around for a long time, and then I figured out ...... to add the volume name.
The first volume, Hibernation.
Hibernation reflects the phenomenon of natural organisms being affected by changes in rhythms and the emergence of sprouting growth.
