Chapter 222

"Captain, why is your body trembling?"

In the eastern part of the Southern Wasteland Continent, in Deer Horn City, on the teleportation formation.

As the teleportation light shines, the figures of Xu Qing and the Captain appear here.

Xu Qing still habitually hides his appearance, and the Captain is even more familiar with the road, disguised as a middle-aged man, only when walking out of the teleportation formation, his legs are clearly trembling somewhat.

Xu Qing is surprised.

"Trembling? How is that possible, Xu Qing, you saw it wrong." The Captain coughs and pats his legs forcefully.

Xu Qing is silent. He doesn't need to guess to know that the Captain must have done something big in the sect, and clearly this matter is not small. Otherwise, with the Captain's madness, it is impossible that after arriving here, he is still trembling somewhat.

Since the Captain doesn't say, Xu Qing doesn't ask. At this moment, after walking out of the teleportation formation, he looks at the Deer Horn City that is familiar yet reveals some strangeness, and the scene of himself transmitting from here after burning the Jin Gang Sect on that day emerges in his mind.

Carrying memories, Xu Qing walks forward.

Although this is a branch city of the Seven Blood Eyes, the remoteness of the location and the harshness of the environment make this place much dirtier and messier than the main city of the Seven Blood Eyes. On the ground, one can see some foul-smelling rotting objects everywhere, and on the street corners, one by one, thin as a stick figures are sitting there, mostly looking at the sky without spirit.

The entire city is filled with oppression.

Xu Qing walks forward silently. On the way, he doesn't encounter anyone who doesn't have eyes. After all, although the human nature in such a poor mountain and bad water place is violent, those who can survive here are mostly not fools.

They can instinctively distinguish what kind of person can be bullied and what kind of person cannot be provoked.

Xu Qing and the Captain give them the feeling of the latter.

"Xu Qing, are you really not curious?" When walking to the city gate of Deer Horn City, the Captain cannot help but take out an apple and eat a bite. He doesn't care much about the surrounding environment, but is very curious that Xu Qing can actually hold back from asking.

"Curious." Xu Qing doesn't look back. After walking out of Deer Horn City, he gazes at the forbidden zone where he lived for seven years and finally turned into ruins after the god opened its eyes.

Deer Horn City is not very far from the small city where he was back then.

"You don't look curious at all... Forget it, forget it, seeing that you were once my team member and owe me fifty thousand spirit stones, I can reveal a little bit."

"The ancestor is playing a big game of chess! I can't say anymore. If I say more, the ancestor will probably peel my skin!" The Captain looks left and right and speaks in a low voice.

Xu Qing says 'oh', his body flickers and moves forward rapidly. He doesn't plan to return to the ruined city. He has nothing to miss there now. Moreover, the last time he was chased by the Jin Gang Sect ancestor, he also settled the cause and effect with the bizarre there.

Going again is meaningless.

So Xu Qing's direction is the scavenger camp.

The Captain is by his side, looking at the surrounding wilderness while walking. At this moment, it is early spring here, and traces of snow can occasionally be seen on the ground. The blowing wind also doesn't contain much spring intent. Although it doesn't freeze the ground, it is still freezing.

"I tell you Xu Qing, Sixth Uncle... he is also an old trickster. On the Sea Star Island that day, he performed a good play." The Captain's eyes are itching, and he wants to show off what he saw, but he doesn't dare to say it all.

Xu Qing nods.

"Oh, Xu Qing, I really want to criticize you. You are not very good like this." The Captain is somewhat helpless, eating the apple forcefully.

"You absolutely don't know what I saw in the Sixth Peak. It was too shocking, too unexpected. This is a huge game of chess."

"Sure enough, the older people are, the more shrewd they are. Those old guys in our Seven Blood Eyes, counting one by one, can all play with people in the palm of their hands."

The Captain takes a breath, very emotional.

Xu Qing frowns. Hearing this, he doesn't understand much, only knowing that the big thing the Captain did should be related to the Sixth Peak, and he thinks of the scene where the Captain's eyes shone when he saw the Sixth Peak mountain body, so his heart moves.

"Captain, you didn't go to the Sixth Peak to bite something, did you?"

The Captain raises his eyebrows, somewhat dissatisfied.

"What do you mean by biting something? Deputy Captain, I want to remind you, how can you talk to your superior like that!"

"I am the Captain of the Capture Demon Division." Xu Qing speaks calmly.

"I am your Senior Brother!" The Captain finishes the apple and takes a pear, looking like he knew you would say that.

"I haven't taken a master yet." Xu Qing responds.

"Still not coming to see the First Prince!" The Captain raises his chin, looking down on Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is silent. He finds that he can't beat the Captain in speaking this time, so he pretends not to hear and continues forward. And relying on his current speed, it is enough to reach the scavenger camp from Deer Horn City in half an hour.

So at this moment, while talking, he has already leaped over the mountain peak and seen the scavenger camp under the mountain from afar, and also seen the pitch-black forest in the distance.

Looking from here, above the forbidden zone forest, black mist is shrouded, lightning bolts are permeating, occasionally falling into the forbidden zone, emitting roaring sounds.

The Captain scans the forbidden zone in the distance, his expression revealing a touch of surprise.

"This forbidden zone is very big, there is divine power fluctuation inside!"

Xu Qing nods. He was too weak back then and didn't know about divinity. Standing here now, he clearly felt the spread of divine power in the forbidden zone in the distance.

Soon, Xu Qing withdraws his gaze and gazes at the scavenger camp below. It is still full of clutter, and one can faintly hear unscrupulous laughter inside.

Xu Qing withdraws his gaze and walks forward. The Captain coughs on the side.

"Little A-Qing, Senior Brother was letting you before, but you don't have to be discouraged. This matter is too big, I can't tell you."

"It's really that this matter affected the battlefield. You don't know, when I entered the Sixth Peak, seeing what was inside, I was stunned."

"In addition, I think the future development of the Seven Blood Eyes, under the leadership of such a group of old guys, should be quite good..."

"Are you really not curious? How about this, you say a few words I like to hear, and I will risk being peeled to tell you, how about that."

On the way down the mountain, the Captain is clearly the one with the secret, constantly wanting to make Xu Qing curious, but in the end, his own desire to show off makes him more anxious than Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is silent, doesn't say a word, and walks into the scavenger camp.

What comes into view is about the same as in his memory. The ground is full of filth, everything around is tattered, one by one scavengers wearing fur coats, some covered in dirt, some with scars on their faces.

And the arrival of Xu Qing and the Captain makes this noisy scavenger camp slowly become quiet. The scavengers here mostly retreat a bit, their expressions revealing a look of fawning.

It is just that Xu Qing knows that behind this fawning, they are observing whether they can rob them.

Xu Qing's gaze sweeps over and ignores it directly. He also doesn't see any familiar figures here. After all, two years of time, for most scavengers, is not much different from a lifetime.

Until Xu Qing walks to the house where he once lived, he stops here.

This house has already been occupied by someone else.

After a while, Xu Qing sighs in his heart and turns to leave. The Captain also looks at the house, understanding in his heart that this should be Xu Qing's residence back then. At this moment, walking by Xu Qing's side, when they are about to leave together, the Captain suddenly sees a tent.

On that tent, a feather is hanging.

Unlike Xu Qing's childhood, the Captain clearly doesn't know how the tent with the feather exists in the scavenger camp and the slum, but soon he sees someone walking out of it while pulling up their pants, and he knows the answer.

"So that's how it is, it's about the same as a brothel, it's just that the scavenger camp uses a feather as a sign." The Captain suddenly realizes, and just as he is about to withdraw his gaze, the next instant he stares at the feather, and then looks at Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, back then on the Mermaid Clan island, after you saw half of my body was gone, you said you would give me a feather..." The Captain's eyes widen.

Xu Qing looks at him, takes out an apple, eats a bite, and walks out.

The Captain hums, looks at the feather again, turns and runs over. He doesn't know how he communicated, but when he catches up with Xu Qing, there are already seven or eight feathers in his hand.

"This is a good thing, I'll give Zhang San one when I go back."

Xu Qing walks out of the scavenger camp, while walking toward the forbidden zone, he scans the feathers in the Captain's hand. When he is about to approach the forbidden zone, he suddenly asks.

"Captain, what did you see in the Sixth Peak?"

The Captain's face reveals a smile. He was waiting for this sentence from Xu Qing, and he had been holding it back all the way. At this moment, he doesn't hide it either. After putting away the feathers, he looks around and speaks in a low voice.

"Before telling you this answer, you first recall the war route of the sect this time."

"First, the Seventh Peak put the competition place on the Mermaid Clan island, then attracted the Sea Corpse Clan, the ancestor suddenly appeared and had already broken through... Then the Mermaid Clan island was arranged as a front-line command post, built like an iron bucket."

"Then, declared war on the Sea Corpse Clan, spreading forward step by step, occupied the secondary island, and now fought to the Sea Corpse Clan's local territory."

"Just like this, on the Forbidden Sea, a line was formed, making the Seven Blood Eyes, which was originally very far from the Wanggu Continent, very close to the Wanggu Continent on the Sea Corpse Clan's local territory..."

Xu Qing's eyes narrow.

"Then what is the sect's goal? Is fighting the Sea Corpse Clan everything? Is it possible that fighting the Sea Corpse Clan... is just a link to complete a deeper strategic goal."

The Captain speaks softly.

"In the Sixth Peak, I saw a statue of a Corpse Ancestor that does not belong to the Sea Corpse Clan and is not among those nine... It is the power source of the Sixth Peak war fortress."

There should be some typos, I will change it after updating. Everyone, please remind me if you see it...

In addition, there is another chapter today.
