Chapter 249

~12 min read 2,265 words

At this moment, the sky was bright, all weirdness disappeared, Xu Qing's body jumped up, found a big tree, sat cross-legged, and recuperated for a while.

Until the sun was high in the sky, he opened his eyes and gazed at the direction where the Ghost City appeared last night. The murderous intent in his eyes became increasingly intense. Afterward, without saying a word, his body jumped down and began to wander in this jungle.

Xu Qing did not go to look for the target beasts he had set yesterday, but galloped rapidly in this forbidden land. He carefully observed every area he passed by, until half an hour later, Xu Qing saw a valley.

The Profound Radiance State opened, and Xu Qing checked this valley.

The appearance of this valley, when viewed from above, was a concave shape, with only an entrance and no exit.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong here, Xu Qing looked up at the top and looked at both sides. His right hand suddenly raised and fell with a punch toward the mountain stone on one side.

Amidst the roaring, a large amount of broken stone fell off, and the mountain body revealed a big hole.

Xu Qing glanced at it, changed a direction, and continued to punch.

A moment later, on the mountain walls on both sides of this valley, dozens of big holes had been punched out by Xu Qing.

After doing all this, he continuously bombarded the ground of the valley, which also formed dozens of big holes, only then stopping.

Afterward, he calculated the time, did not delay, drilled into a big hole, and took out an iron box from his storage bag.

This item was exactly the wish box containing the Poison Forbidden Elixir.

In this hole, Xu Qing opened the wish box and placed it on the ground.

Suddenly, the aura emanating from the poison elixir in the wish box volatilized toward the surroundings.

Xu Qing retreated rapidly, ignored the volatilizing poison elixir, grabbed the broken stones bombarded from the surroundings, and piled them up at the edge of the hole entrance where the poison elixir was placed, forming a wall.

Although this stone wall could not achieve complete closure, based on Xu Qing's understanding of that Poison Forbidden Elixir, as long as there was no wind, then the aura it spread could exist for at least one day.

Thus, after the stone wall was about to form, Xu Qing waited for a while, grabbed outside the hole, and suddenly the wish box flew over, was immediately covered by him, and the hole entrance was sealed dead. Afterward, he went to the second hole.

In every hole, including the deep pits on the ground, Xu Qing intended to let the aura of the poison elixir permeate. In this way, in the special environment of this valley, the poison gas here would permeate in large quantities.

Xu Qing continued to operate.

On the side, the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor, seeing Xu Qing doing it himself to set it up, as well as the increasingly intense murderous light in his eyes, felt his heart tremble, secretly saying that it was bad to provoke anyone, but he had to come to provoke this Xu Demon...

Just like this, time passed.

Xu Qing's setup had been going on, until night fell, and when the Zi hour was about to arrive, Xu Qing finally finished setting up this place.

The big holes here added up to a full sixty-plus, each of which was simply sealed by Xu Qing, and in each hole, he had placed the poison elixir inside to let it volatilize and emit aura.

Thus, at this moment, the aura of the poison elixir in this valley was already very rich. In this process, Xu Qing, even with his resistance, could not bear it somewhat, and several times had to go out to relax a bit outside, relying on the purple crystal to slowly recover.

At this moment, after finally completing it, he looked at this valley, and satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Xu Qing felt that his resistance could only stay inside for half an incense stick of time. Beyond that, he also had no certainty that the purple crystal could save him.

Then, other existences that were poisoned by this would definitely be even more uncomfortable.

"Let's see how long that big head can persist!" Xu Qing left the valley and sat cross-legged in the jungle not far from the valley. There were three big trees he had cut down here, which were set up into a triangular pattern.

There were also three white candles on the trees.

Xu Qing was worried that the big head of the Ghost City would not come on its own tonight, so he prepared that if it really didn't come, he would summon it himself.

In this waiting, the midnight finally arrived.

Facts proved that Xu Qing was overthinking. The moment it arrived, he didn't need to summon it, and he felt the familiar ice cold in the surroundings as well as the white mist when breathing.

"It's here!" Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked toward the distance.

Soon, mist permeated the jungle in front of him, and the next instant, that familiar Ghost City descended again.

This time, the chains around the monk's head in the middle of the Ghost City were clearly much more than last night, and the suppression of the Ghost City on it was more intense than ever before.

But clearly, since this Ghost City could still be influenced by it to appear on its own, it showed that this degree of suppression was not enough.

And the moment it appeared, the monk's eyes suddenly opened, directly locking onto Xu Qing, and the sound in its mouth roared.

"Jin Wu must die!"

Amidst the words, this head jumped up fiercely like yesterday, ignoring the arm chains that were entangled on its body, and came directly toward Xu Qing here. The speed was so fast that it arrived with a roar.

The next instant, the place where Xu Qing was, trees collapsed, and the earth shattered.

Xu Qing rushed out one step in advance, the Profound Radiance State opened, his speed erupted fully, and he fled toward the distance, and his expression even put on a look of terror and horror.

"You haunt me like a ghost, what exactly do you want!

"

Even if the other party was confused, Xu Qing still took precautions, emitting a low roar from his mouth, and ran with all his might.

Behind him, the monk's head landed and rolled forward, emitting a strange laughter from its mouth, its speed was fast, and it was getting closer and closer.

And the Ghost City was also vibrating at this moment, and more ghost hands erupted from inside, chasing toward the monk's head. When the scene of last night was staged again, Xu Qing had already rushed into the valley.

Seeing Xu Qing enter the valley, the monk's head, or perhaps it was too confident, or perhaps it was confused and unable to judge, so it didn't stop at all, and directly rolled and chased Xu Qing, also rushing into the valley, with low roars echoing in its mouth.

But the next instant, this low roar stopped abruptly.

Afterward, a sky-high loud noise came from the valley. Amidst the roaring, the head that rolled in suddenly rolled out. On its confused face, terror was now replaced.

One could see that a large amount of skin on its face was now rotting.

But no fresh blood flowed down.

It seemed that the existence of this head did not possess fresh blood, but was some kind of special body.

But no matter how special it was, it all appeared to change by rotting and dissolving under the aura of the poison elixir left by the previous era.

It was even more so that when it rolled out, Xu Qing in the valley pinched a magic seal with both hands and waved it outward fiercely. Suddenly, a huge Cang Dragon materialized behind him, smashing fiercely toward the valley.

Boom!

The valley collapsed, and the aura of the poison elixir inside spread toward the surroundings amidst this impact.

That head could not avoid it, and was stained with some more. The terror expression on its face was even more intense, until with a bang, it decomposed on its own, turning into countless small heads, trying to disperse the poison it had contracted.

But the poison elixir power was terrifying, even if it dispersed, it was still difficult to completely resolve.

Although this poison did not erupt very rapidly, it clearly had a very high status, and this monk's head, although weird, was still poisoned by it.

And Xu Qing's murderous intent erupted in his eyes at this moment. His body rushed out rapidly, his right hand raised, and the Heavenly Blade materialized, slashing fiercely toward the small heads that were spreading in all directions.

The earth roared, and the Jin Wu also rose, spitting black flames toward all eight directions, making the surroundings a sea of fire, and amidst the burning, it sucked fiercely again.

As for the shadow and the Jin Gang Sect Ancestor, they didn't dare to take action at this moment; they were also afraid of that kind of poison.

Only the Little Black Insect could adapt somewhat. While rushing out to begin devouring, Xu Qing's Heavenly Blade slashed again, the earth roared, and those individual small heads emitted miserable sounds, fleeing rapidly toward the distance.

And that monk's head was also strange. At this moment, every small head it had transformed into also decomposed again, trying to separate the rotting parts.

Seeing this, Xu Qing did not fight stubbornly. His right hand took out a magic tool against weird entities he had obtained from Prince Sima Ling.

This magic tool was very beautiful, a small tower built of crystal.

Controlling it was also simple, only needing magic power to surge in. At this moment, it was opened by Xu Qing and waved fiercely toward a small head that was weak in aura after finishing separating the rotting parts.

This small head after two dispersals clearly had its strength decreased, was covered by Xu Qing's crystal tower, and was instantly sealed inside.

Xu Qing grabbed it and took it away. Without hesitation, he turned around and left.

He was clear that although his Poison Forbidden Elixir was terrifying, what he sent out this time was only the poison contained in the aura, not the true poison forbidden within the poison elixir, and the gap between them was very large.

Xu Qing also couldn't determine how the power was.

However, thinking that the monk's head kept decomposing and discarding its body, it was still possible to resolve it, so Xu Qing left rapidly after getting his revenge.

Although he didn't completely kill the other party this time, he thought that the weird monk head would also not feel good, and he also obtained a specimen, which he could study in the future to find a way to completely kill it.

"Or wait until I integrate the Poison Forbidden Elixir and can display its true power inside, then come back to kill it!" Xu Qing suppressed his murderous intent and walked further and further away.

Just like this, several days passed.

Xu Qing didn't know the outcome of that weird monk head, but in the following nights, the Ghost City never appeared again, and Xu Qing didn't go to blow the ghost flute to check.

Without a means to completely kill the other party, Xu Qing felt that checking or not didn't have much significance, but he carved the two characters "Monk Head" on the bamboo slip.

Afterward, he put all his energy into searching for the poisonous beasts he planned to acquire. The method of searching was also simple: the shadow scattered a large number of shadow eyes on the fierce beasts in the forbidden area, and their scattering was like countless eyes and ears, helping Xu Qing search.

Thus, following the passage of time, Xu Qing's search was very smooth, the poisonous beasts he planned to acquire were also acquired one by one, and he obtained more and more poison.

During this period, Xu Qing also used the extremely yin and evil poison he had purchased, cooperated with the poison he acquired later, and finally let the Little Black Insect begin its transformation path again.

After batches were formed, with the help of the fierce beasts in the forbidden land, Xu Qing constantly cultivated, making the Little Black Insect stronger and stronger, but following multiple transformations, the time consumed also became longer and longer.

So in his spare time, Xu Qing was also considering whether to go to the ruins where the Taicang Path Temple was located first, to see if he could comprehend the Taicang Blade there.

And when this thought arose, the shadow transmitted an emotional fluctuation with surprise to Xu Qing.

"...... fool...... attached...... seek praise......"

"Fool?" Xu Qing was stunned.

"Master, Master, Little Shadow means that the fool from the First Peak was seen by a fierce beast parasitized by one of its shadow eyes in the nearby area, and he had a mysterious look." The Jin Gang Sect Ancestor materialized and spoke rapidly, automatically ignoring the word "praise" that Little Shadow said.

"Wanting to let the Xu Demon go and praise you? Little Shadow, with me, the Ancestor, translating for you, you shouldn't have such a beautiful dream!"
