Chapter 16: "You have no time to return" (The third shift, 5600 words)
Under the afterglow, the figure of the teenager caused the Fire Crow to be shaken inwardly.
If he wasn't a veteran scavenger and was replaced by a newcomer, he was afraid that at this moment, even though his cultivation clearly exceeded that of the other party, he would still be shaken by his heart and mind.
Even he, his heart fluctuated, but it was quickly suppressed by its desperado-like ferocity and wounded anger, and his eyes revealed an intense killing intent.
"Little wolf cub, I will pull out your teeth, one by one, as my trophies."
As Fire Raven spoke in a low voice, he ripped off his shirt, revealing his dry and thin upper body.
He didn't bother to care about the lack of ears and the wound hole in his chest, and with his hands pinching in the midst of his face reddening as his color rose, a fireball, even more massive than before, suddenly appeared.
Xu Qing's eyes contracted and his body shifted to move unexpectedly.
"Scatter!" The fire crow roared lowly, at once the large fireball in its hands, directly separated into five, heading straight for Xu Qing.
The sound of roaring echoed instantly, the ground was covered in flames, burning Xu Qing's figure rushed out again, still two punches consecutively, collapsing the barriers.
Although he himself would inevitably be forced back by the impact, more injuries, and the high temperature of the flames continued to burn, but his speed did not decrease by half a point, and his killing chance did not decrease by the slightest bit.
In this way, with this kind of battle method that does not spare their own injuries, he and the fire crows two people, actually in this jungle killing scorching up.
The more they fought, the more intense it became.
Xu Qing was indeed no match for Fire Crow.
Whether it was the Spiritual Energy Barrier or the fireballs, both were unfavorable to him, the former making it difficult for him to kill at close range, and the latter being extremely threatening to him.
However, Xu Qing's recovery power was astonishing, which allowed him to recover quickly after being injured without affecting his battle prowess.
His physical strength was just as abundant, and although the long-lasting pain from his body would form a mental torment, growing up in the slums, he had long since developed an endurance that exceeded that of normal people.
The most important thing is that ...... the spiritual energy that contains a strong heterogeneous quality has no effect on Xu Qing, but for Fire Crow, it is completely different.
His ear injury was fine, but his chest injury was getting worse and worse, and the most crucial thing was his spiritual energy ......
Even though his cultivation was at the fifth level of Qi Condensation, he couldn't withstand such consumption and could only passively go and absorb spiritual energy to replenish it.
And the intense battle, the pressure Xu Qing brought to him, made him here not have any time to slow down, in this way, the heterogeneous quality in his body continued to rise, accumulating more and more.
Soon enough, the Fire Crow changed from being angry in the beginning, to being somewhat nervous, until eventually, anxiety actually surfaced within his complexion.
He had already sensed that something was wrong with himself, and he also sensed that there was something wrong with the teenager in front of him!
Change any third layer, even if it is not the third layer but the same as his fifth layer, in the face of such a fireball bombardment, are bound to not be able to withstand so far, should have long been turned into a dry corpse right.
He asked himself that even if it was himself, he could not do this.
But in front of this teenager, seems to be seriously injured, and more and more, but from beginning to end speed and power, without the slightest decrease.
This made the uneasiness in the heart of the fire crow, more and more intense.
And the body's heterogeneous quality continues to increase, is about to approach the alienation edge of the trend, so that the fire crow is even more short of breath.
"Fire Crow you piece of shit, quick battle!!!"
In the distance, the Blood Shadow Captain, who was fighting with the Thunder Team, had to be distracted to pay attention to this place, and at this moment, as he watched this scene, a furious roar came out.
He had the intention to help, but the Thunder Team's side suddenly erupted and went to stop it in turn, making it impossible for him to withdraw, and at this moment, he could only be anxious.
As for Team Lei, he had long since seen that Xu Qing's tactic was to drag the Fire Crow until it was alienated.
Although he didn't know why the other party was confident, and why he was playing as usual in the midst of his injuries, everyone had their own secrets, something that Team Lei understood just as much as he did.
So without the idea of probing, all he could do was not let the Bloodshot captain in front of him go over to help.
The battle was still going on.
After blasting out three more fireballs, the Fire Crow, who was still helpless against Xu Qing, was cursed by its captain again, and the anxiety in his heart completely exploded into a wave of madness.
He raised his right hand violently to hammer directly on his chest, spewing out a large mouthful of blood, not waiting for it to fall, his left hand waved rapidly to catch some of it.
The sound of an incantation came out of his mouth, and the blood in his hand flew to turn black.
Xu Qing's eyes contracted, sensing a more intense crisis, his body swayed and rushed out, about to interrupt the other party's spell casting.
But this time, the Fire Crow's spell unfolded extremely quickly, and just at the moment Xu Qing's body moved, the Fire Crow raised its head fiercely, its complexion twisted, its eyes ferocious, and its right hand swung fiercely.
At that moment, the black blood in his hand directly swelled into a blood ball the size of a skull.
The bulge within it seemed to be boiling, carrying an astonishing force as it whistled towards Xu Qing.
"Die for me!" The Fire Crow roared low in a caracal voice.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that this spell was too exhausting, coupled with the continued surge of foreign qualities within his body, causing both of his legs to tremble a little weakly even at this moment.
The killing intent in Xu Qing's eyes was suddenly intense, the same as Team Lei's judgment, he was indeed prepared to delay until the other party's heterogeneity, but there was also something different.
That was that Xu Qing never gave up on the idea of killing him early in the process.
Although his dagger and iron sign, both of which were no longer in his hands, he had always been looking for an opportunity to kill him absolutely.
This opportunity, at this moment, appeared as the Fire Crow weakened.
Almost at the exact moment when the black blood ball came whistling, Xu Qing's forward-moving body accelerated violently.
Instead of rushing towards the Fire Crow in a straight line, it slightly shifted its direction to where the Barbarian Ghost's corpse was.
Its corpse was filled with traces of being burned under the previous fireball range burst from the fire crows, but here, in addition to the corpse, there was also ...... the Barbarian Ghost s weapon!
A wolf's tooth stick, a fine iron shield that shattered into two pieces of size.
Xu Qing's target was precisely that large piece of shield.
His figure approached in an instant, grabbing the heavy fine iron shield violently, and while his skinny body was covered by the shield, his body instantly rushed out, heading straight for the fire crows behind the black blood ball.
A roar echoed as the fire crow's blood ball touched Xu Qing here, smashing into the shield and transforming into countless black blood jets.
That fine iron shield could not withstand the instant collapse and fragmentation, but it still bore most of the power.
After Xu Qing, although the body also hit some black blood, but not fatal, at this moment he clenched his teeth speed does not reduce, did not pause for a moment, turned into a remnant of a trace, such as an arrow approaching the fire crow.
The fire crows eyes show ridicule, not to dodge, hands pinch knob between the moment Xu Qing behind the black blood, is flying from the ground drop by drop to rise, it seems not long, can all rise into the air as a blood arrow shooting.
All of this left Xu Qing with no place to retreat, but he had no intention of doing so.
As he approached, he made a fist with his left hand, but it was his right hand that struck, and a fist fell.
Boom!
Cracks appeared in the spiritual energy barrier outside of the Fire Crow's body, and within Xu Qing's right fist, blood splattered everywhere at this moment, with some scaled flesh and blood mixed in.
Not waiting for the fire crow to see clearly, Xu Qing's eyes turned crimson as he once again blasted out a second punch.
Bang sound barrier collapsed in pieces, a huge impact from the inside scattered, pushing Xu Qing's body, so that he, as before, can not be close to the slightest, about to be pushed away by that impact.
The sneer in the eyes of the Fire Crow intensified, but at this moment!
Xu Qing's body, as if out of nowhere, gained a few more moments of residual strength.
In the midst of the barrier's fragmenting impact, he wasn't forced back as he once was.
Instead, he charged violently, carrying the impact, his right hand stretched out, and grabbed fiercely at the bloody blur on the Fire Crow's chest that had been pierced by the iron stick.
It seemed that the extra residual force only allowed Xu Qing to possess the power of this grab, although he grabbed open the wounds of the Fire Crow, but he was unable to deal a fatal blow to it, and at the moment, he could only fly backward.
The Fire Crow's face also changed, and its body staggered back.
Noticing that Xu Qing's grasp didn't pose too much of a threat to him, he let out a fierce smile as he was just about to cast a spell to cause black blood to shoot out.
But in the next instant, his face changed once again as he jerked his head down.
In his chest blood and flesh, where ...... there are some broken tooth fragments as well as scaly flesh mud.
At the same time, where the wound was located, the flesh and blood were corroding, and gusts of poisonous blood overflowed from within, and wherever it passed, the skin rotted rapidly.
Unbearable intense pain surged strongly at this moment, causing the Fire Crow to let out a mournful scream, his complexion revealing unprecedented panic.
As he kept retreating, he saw Xu Qing crouching in the distance, and within his outstretched right palm, he threw out many of the same meat slime and broken teeth.
If one could piece together these meat slimes and broken teeth, it would form the appearance of a snake's head.
It was precisely the same highly poisonous snake head that Xu Qing had used to dispose of the corpse.
And his left hand was trembling slightly at the moment, slowly stretching out as a piece of amber debris fell, revealing the ghost-faced scorpion tail that had pierced deeply into his palm!
The former allowed his palm to contain intense poison, and the latter allowed him to have the residual power to strike under the barrier impact!
"You ......" Fire Crow trembled, unable to speak in his wail, let alone cast a spell.
His eyes revealed an intense fear of death, struggling to wipe away the poisonous blood on his body, but the poisonous blood was overflowing in large quantities, causing his stamina and vitality to drain away at a rapid pace.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, the recovery of the purple crystal in the battle at Fat Mountain had let him know that he was able to neutralize the poison.
The fact that his right hand, which was stained with snake venom at the moment, was not corroded said it all.
This, was the sure-fire strike he had prepared for Fire Crow.
At this moment, his body stood up and headed straight for the Fire Crow.
Seeing Xu Qing's arrival, the panic in the Fire Crow's eyes turned into despair as he struggled backward, his mouth even emitting a painful wail.
"Captain save me!!!"
This tragic scene caused the Blood Shadow Captain, who was fighting with the Thunder Team, to have his eyes widen, having the intention to save, but the block formed by the Thunder Team's strikes made it difficult for him to go over at all.
He could only watch as Xu Qing's figure, flew close to the Fire Crow.
And in this proximity, the injuries to Fire Crow's body and the collapse of his mentality caused the accumulation of dense heterogeneous qualities within his body to no longer be suppressed.
Without waiting for Xu Qing to completely approach, he was in despair, his body stiffened violently, and the heterogeneous quality spread all over his body, and with a bang ...... he turned into a blood mist.
Some were heterogeneous and were leaving behind green and black corpses, while others exploded into a mist of blood.
Xu Qing paused in his footsteps, looked at the place where the fire crows had turned into a mist of blood, turned his head, and coldly looked at the Blood Shadow Captain who was fighting with the Thunder Team.
The sun was setting at the moment, but the dusk of the firmament was different from the past, not ushering in the darkness of night, and the entire sky glowed with a strange red color.
Under this red embrace, Xu Qing's figure was also rendered as he stood there covered in scars, his cold gaze seemingly radiating an indescribable oppression.
This oppression caused even the Blood Shadow Captain, whose cultivation surpassed his, to have his heart and soul shaken intensely.
Truly, the death of the Fire Crow was too tragic, which had a great impact on the Blood Shadow Captain's heart.
And the long battle with the Thunder Team, coupled with the evil in Xu Qing's body, all of this made the Blood Shadow Captain's heart and mind uneasy, and at this moment, his gaze flickered, and at the moment Xu Qing looked at him, he blasted away the Thunder Team with a single punch, and without any hesitation, his body fell back sharply.
He didn't want to fight anymore.
Lei Team wanted to go after him, but when he looked up and saw that strange red in the sky, his face suddenly changed, his emotions seemed to fluctuate, and blood spewed out, his body getting more and more greenish-black and staggering.
Xu Qing quickly walked over, holding Lei Team with one hand.
In the midst of Lei Team's panting Xu Qing placed him under a large tree to the side, looking up at the Blood Shadow Captain who was speeding within the jungle in the distance, a killing chance flashed in his eyes.
"You alone do not go after, the blood shadow regiment destroyed him, has no longer climate, especially the sky of this red, I seem to have once seen ......"
Team Lei grabbed Xu Qing and raised his head to stare deathly at the sky.
"He is a hidden danger." Xu Qing slowly spoke.
He didn't like any hidden danger, and within this forbidden jungle, Xu Qing felt that he had the certainty of dragging this Blood Shadow Captain to his death as he had dragged the Fire Crow to his death, but Team Lei's words caused him to instinctively raise his head and look at the dome of the sky.
Just then ......
A song that sounded like a sigh rose eerily, drifting within this jungle.
All the hissing of the foreign beasts in the forbidden jungle disappeared in this instant.
In the silent jungle, this song became clearer and clearer.
It was as if a woman was complaining about her husband's distant departure, and as it echoed, there was even a gust of light red mist that appeared from the direction where the Blood Shadow Captain was speeding in the distance.
It rolled around everything in the surroundings and filled the air.
Xu Qing's body shook violently, and the Lei Team, who was seated against a large tree on the side, also had their bodies tremble for a split second, as both of them instantly looked towards the place where the song came from.
Only the former is alert and incomparable, and the latter ...... eyes are somewhat in a trance.
That song, constantly drifting, fell into Xu Qing's ears, causing his entire body to be flooded with indescribable chill, as if he was in the icy cold blood rain of a once ruined city.
Even if he was at the third level of Body Refinement today, he couldn't withstand it, his teeth starting to chatter as his body lost the ability to move.
Xu Qing's mind roared, and his mind couldn't help but conjure up the forbidden zone taboo that the cross had spoken of when he entered the forbidden zone.
And where they were gazing, the Blood Shadow Captain's body also paused, his body visibly shivering.
It was as if something unseen was approaching him, causing him to lose the strength to flee.
Under Xu Qing's personal witness, a wisp of white gas, flew out along the trembling Blood Shadow Captain's seven orifices, and merged within the blood mist that filled the air.
The Blood Shadow Captain's body, in the process, rapidly decayed and withered until it turned into a dry corpse, crushed into dust, with nothing half left.
The mist covered the place where it was, diffusing towards Xu Qing and Team Lei's side.
As the fog drew closer, Xu Qing's body trembled, finally seeing the source of the death that had caused the Blood Shadow Captain's death, which was ...... a pair of bright red women's boots that were very tattered.
"This is ......" Xu Qing breathed in sharply, his eyes widening as he saw the pair of boots appear in front of the fog in the distance, moving on their own on the dirt, one step at a time towards them.
The boots were empty ...... only the sound of a ghostly song, getting closer and closer.
It was as if there was a woman with an invisible body, wearing these red boots, singing while walking.
The singing became clearer and clearer, and the blood-colored boots took steps on the dirt in the direction of Xu Qing.
This bizarre scene caused Xu Qing's eyes to contract intensely, his body wanting to move but unable to do so.
It was as if the ice cold froze everything in him, causing his teeth to cackle even as he watched the pair of blood-colored boots, step by step, walk to half a zhang away from himself ......
The threat of death, in this moment in Xu Qing heart covered all the thoughts, he wanted to retreat, but can not do anything, only the eyes of a large number of emerging blood, through his violent struggle at the moment.
And those blood colored shoes were about to take another step towards him, but just at this time ...... a trembling voice came from Xu Qing s side, it was the Lei team.
"Peach red ...... is it you ......" The voice was hoarse, with a tremor, and there was even a hint of uncertainty.
The moment these words appeared, the eerie song actually crashed to a halt.
One side of the lifted boots slightly lurched, actually slowly changed direction, as if the woman who stood there, at this moment turned around and looked at the Thunder Team.
Seeing this scene, Lei team's body obviously shivering, breathing unprecedentedly sharp, tired body at the moment burst out of the remaining strength, eyes revealed unprecedented light, tightly looking at the boots on the empty.
As if in his eyes, he could see that a woman who was incomparably important to him like his own life was standing there.
With him across the void, across the world, across the yin and yang, in four eyes looking at each other.
Strong as the Thunder Team, at this moment, tears flowed uncontrollably from his eyes.
"Have you ...... come back ......" His body trembled and raised his hand, as if to grasp something, and the pair of red boots, also slowly raised, walked to the front of the Lei team, slightly bent.
It was as if the invisible woman, crouched down tenderly in front of the Thunder Team, so that the Thunder Team's trembling hand, could touch her face.
But the Lei team s hand, crossed the nothingness, nothing touched, an empty fall, tears ...... more.
Only the mouth of the murmur, in this pathos in the bleak.
Until a long time, as if there is a woman's light sigh from nothingness, the pair of red boots slowly no longer bend, gradually retreat.
Until it exited three feet away, only then did it turn around, bypassing Xu Qing, with the red mist behind it, toward the distance.
The gentleman asks for a return date, but there is no date.
The fog hides the remnants of love, the smoke song is far away.
The song, which continued to emanate, seemed to have more bitterness and despondency in its sultriness as it walked further and further away.
And the blood-colored fog also from them here around, as if flowing general, toward the distant diffusion.
Until the song is getting weaker and weaker, until the ...... mist completely disappears, and the song slowly dissipates.
Xu Qing's body at this moment, finally resumed action, he breathed sharply, with horror in his eyes, the first time was to violently turn around to look at the Lei team sitting there.
At this moment, the Lei Team was staring blankly into the distance, tears flowing silently within their godless eyes.
Xu Qing was silent, the words that he originally wanted to ask could not be said at this moment.
Until a long time later, the Lei Team murmured softly.
"Aren't you strange."
Xu Qing nodded silently.
"Cross told you before, I'm one of the not many people who have heard the song." Team Lei looked into the distance and slowly whispered.
"Do you know, the song in this forbidden area is very strange, most of those who hear it die, and those who can survive the song are extremely rare."
"But once one can survive, then that person will receive a 'gift' from this forbidden area, which will allow him to see the person he most wants to see in his life the next time he hears the song ....... "
"I had thought it was just a legend. Also for this legend, in the camp outside silently waiting for decades, wait until the hair is white ah ......
"Until today, I saw it."
When Team Lei said this, the whole person seemed to have aged a lot at once, the wrinkles on his face piled up, and a sense of weakness permeated his body.
"Do you also have a yin and yang, want to see people ...... If so, do not learn from me, do not wait here ......"
"Saw, but also ultimately, an empty ......" Lei team bitterly murmured, closed his eyes, tears can not stop crossing the folds of the face, drops fell on the lapel.
Xu Qing silently, raised his head to look toward the place where the song disappeared, a touch of remembrance gradually surfaced in the depths of his eyes.
He also had people he wanted to see.
People who wanted very, very, very much.
------------
When I wrote this chapter, I also asked myself, I also have loved ones that I want to go see ......
Not to say such melancholy words, brothers and sisters, nearly fifteen thousand words of outburst, almost equal to the amount of my previous five-shift outburst.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services you need.
