Chapter 388: Five-Fingered Girl

The Captain's hand grew back on the third day, as good as new, without any abnormalities.

After Xu Qing noticed this, he had a more accurate understanding of the Captain's growth speed.

"Severed limb takes three days, below the waist takes half a month, below the head takes a month."

Xu Qing had an epiphany, feeling that in the future, targeting this point, he could have better tactical arrangements when the Captain went out to do big things.

And the Captain, having experienced this, seemed to have a greatly increased interest in foreign clans, so in the following days, he, like Xu Qing, liked to look down from the flying ship.

Wu Jianwu, after watching this scene, pondered seriously, and I don't know if he wanted to improve his poetry level, so he joined in.

Thus, with the passage of time, after experiencing two teleportations, their group left the Quzhao State.

Xu Qing saw more customs and scenery along the way, the Captain gained more knowledge of foreign clans, and Wu Jianwu's harvest was also great.

His poetry finally returned to its peak in the past, and even improved slightly.

"Eyes contain all living things, transforming all things; alone holding heaven and earth to refine the sword heart!"

In the strong wind, Wu Jianwu stood at the bow, laughing loudly, his voice drifting away and echoing in all directions.

"Idiot." The Captain curled his lips.

Xu Qing didn't pay attention to Wu Jianwu's madness. At this moment, he looked down. Here, the earth was being swept by a storm, and countless trees were bowing in the wind, looking as if they could be uprooted at any time.

This was the unique climate of the Yunfeng State.

Different from the Yinghuang Province and the Quzhao State, the Yunfeng State was almost in a gale all year round. The forces here were not only better at speed because of this, but also had unique insights into body tempering.

In addition, the wind here was different during the day and night.

The wind during the day was violent, and the wind at night was cold, and there were many strange things appearing.

As for foreign clans, although there were some, there were more strange beasts.

For example, right now in Xu Qing's sight, on the earth filled with storms, there were hundreds of giants several hundred zhang tall.

These giants were naked, their bodies emitting a foul stench, which even the wind couldn't blow away.

They were all gray-skinned, with red eyes and black-yellow teeth, and their intelligence didn't seem to be high.

Now on the ground, some were running, some were sitting, and some were twisting together, like wild beasts.

One could also see that many giants were carrying cages woven from tree bark.

In those cages, there were living beings of various clans of varying numbers, mostly dying.

These were the food of the giants, which were being poured into simple stone altars by some giants, and pounded into meat paste with a huge pestle, and then drunk. To be continued

"These are the Cloud Beasts of the Yunfeng State. They don't have much intelligence and are like wild beasts. They cannot be killed off; they will generate themselves in heaven and earth, taking all living things as food." Immortal Zixuan's voice entered Xu Qing's ears.

Her figure, I don't know when, appeared by Xu Qing's side.

The familiar fragrance drilled into his nose. Xu Qing didn't dodge; he was already somewhat used to it.

Immortal Zixuan had been in seclusion in the cabin for most of this journey and rarely went out. Standing by Xu Qing's side at this moment, she was no longer in the posture she had when she was alone with Xu Qing, but was more solemn.

Xu Qing hurriedly paid respects, and the Captain and Wu Jianwu also lowered their heads quickly.

However, the thoughts of the two were different.

In Wu Jianwu's heart, there was only awe.

And the Captain secretly thought that Immortal Zixuan really knew how to play, sometimes charming, sometimes teasing, sometimes solemn. Who could stand this?

Little Ah Qing, you have to work hard!

Thinking of this, he gave Xu Qing an encouraging look.

Xu Qing ignored it. He didn't think as much as the Captain.

"The flesh and blood of these Cloud Beasts have a special use and are designated tickets. You two go down and hunt one each and bring them up." Zixuan said with a smile.

Xu Qing nodded when he heard this, his body swayed, and he went straight to the earth below from the flying ship.

The Captain blinked and also flew out immediately. After approaching Xu Qing, he winked and transmitted his voice.

"Little Ah Qing, I think you need to seriously consider my suggestion from before!"

"Follow Immortal Zixuan." After saying this, the Captain took a step ahead and accelerated away.

Xu Qing glanced at the Captain's back and didn't speak.

The two soon landed on the earth one after another.

The combat power of those giants on the ground was not very strong, relying entirely on their physical bodies. Most of them were only comparable to Foundation Establishment two or three fires, and only four or five emitted blood and energy fluctuations similar to Golden Core.

For Xu Qing and the Captain, killing such prey was incomparably simple, so soon Xu Qing appeared in front of a giant with Golden Core combat power at an astonishing speed.

This giant was lowering its head and pounding the mud altar. After noticing the danger and looking up, it opened its big mouth and roared at the arriving Xu Qing. The moment the fishy smell hit his face, it raised its right hand and grabbed toward Xu Qing.

Compared to this giant, Xu Qing's size was like an ant.

But in Xu Qing's eyes, this giant with a huge body was the ant.

He didn't dodge at all, crashing into the giant's grabbing palm. In an instant, the giant let out a miserable scream, and its right hand collapsed and exploded.

Xu Qing's figure

penetrated through from within, his speed soared, heading straight for the giant's brow. After approaching, he raised his right hand and pressed down abruptly.

Terrifying magic power dispersed from his body, spreading throughout the giant's body along its brow, destroying everything, extinguishing its vitality.

The next instant, the giant trembled all over, its body fell to the ground with a bang, and when a loud noise was transmitted, the Captain there also completed the kill. A Golden Core giant fell down at the same time.

But the two didn't immediately collect the giant's corpse, but looked into the distance at the same time, their eyes revealing essence light at this moment.

In the direction they were looking, two long swords were roaring through the storm.

The power was astonishing, breaking through the storm and approaching in an instant, but the target was not Xu Qing and the Captain, but other giants.

In the blink of an eye, with the sweep of the flying swords, three giants let out miserable screams, their bodies trembling, and they were pierced through the chest by the flying swords, extinguishing their vitality within their bodies.

At the same time, two figures also roared out from the storm.

These two, one man and one woman, were both wearing white robes with cloaks on their backs. In the dim sky, there seemed to be dark-patterned flames on their robes, so their arrival was like two groups of flames.

Xu Qing recognized this attire at a glance; they were exactly Sword Holders.

Especially that male cultivator, Xu Qing had seen him.

The Captain also recognized him immediately.

The other party was exactly the Sword Holder who chased the Golden Core old demon that Xu Qing and the two encountered when they were patrolling on the Yunxian Wangu River that day.

The other party knew that the Golden Core old demon wasn't completely dead at the time and deliberately gave Xu Qing and the two a chance to pick up the corpse.

At this moment, these two Sword Holders rushed out from the storm, went straight to the giants, and each made a move, collecting the giant corpses they had beheaded, and looked at Xu Qing and the Captain.

There was no verbal communication. These two Sword Holders nodded at Xu Qing and the Captain, turned, and left, disappearing into the storm again.

Among them, the female Sword Holder, Xu Qing hadn't seen before. He noticed that she was carrying a little girl of seven or eight years old on her back.

This little girl was not human. There were two slowly wriggling tentacles on her brow, and a black band covered her eyes, tied behind her head.

She was lying silently on the woman's back, as if asleep.

Watching these two Sword Holders go away, Xu Qing looked at the Captain, and the Captain spoke in a low voice.

"They are not Sword Holders of the Yinghuang Province."

Xu Qing also saw this point. After all, during the Sword Holder selection that day, all the Sword Holders of the Yinghuang Province were present. Although there were many people, they had paid attention to them.

"They should be performing some mission." Xu Qing said, collecting the giant he had beheaded, while the other giants in this place had already scattered, disappearing into the wind.

Xu Qing glanced at it, and under the Captain's urging, he soon rose into the air and returned to the flying ship in this storm.

Not long after, the flying ship moved away, crossing the storm, and after flying for more than half a month, finally, at dusk on this day, they arrived at the first transit station in the Yunfeng State.

Xu Qing only knew the general route of this trip and didn't know the details. Everything was planned by Immortal Zixuan and the Fifth Peak Master. For the safety of everyone, this plan was a secret, and except for Xu Qing and the Captain, others didn't even know the general route.

And this transit place looked more like a messy market from the sky.

There were many mud huts to avoid the storm, and there were quite a few cultivators of various clans.

Inside, there were also some black-clothed people wearing many earrings on their ears and fierce ghost tattoos on their faces.

These people walked in the market, and wherever they passed, all foreign cultivators were very wary of them.

"This is the territory of the Ghost Pattern Sect. The Ghost Pattern Sect is one of the major forces in the Yunfeng State. They raise fierce ghosts, and their techniques are evil and strange."

Immortal Zixuan's voice echoed in Xu Qing's mind. This was a voice transmission only to him.

Hearing this, Xu Qing took a few more looks at those black-clothed people.

From the tattoos on their faces, he faintly felt some obscure fluctuations, which were somewhat similar to the strange ghosts he saw in the ghost hole.

And the arrival of their group also attracted the attention of the cultivators here.

However, as Immortal Zixuan walked off the flying ship, everyone in the market quieted down. The pressure belonging to the Void Returning stage made those black-clothed people also change their expressions.

Several black-clothed people immediately came forward to welcome them respectfully and sent them into the inn in the market.

"Rest for a night. Tomorrow, at the moment when the black night and the day alternate, at the break of dawn, a ghost ship will come here to the Nether Port, and we will borrow the ghost ship to move forward."

"And this market will turn into a ghost market at night. If you don't have the ability, don't go out randomly."

Inside the inn, Immortal Zixuan said indifferently, then walked into the room, and the others also suppressed their curiosity about the ghost market and the ghost ship mentioned by Zixuan, returning to their respective rooms.

【To be honest, I've been using Wild Fruit Reading to catch up on books recently. The source switching is fast, the reading tone is good, and the Android and Apple versions are both available.】

"Nether Port? What is a ghost ship?" The Captain stood beside Xu Qing and asked curiously.

Xu Qing shook his head. His curiosity wasn't that strong, but he was interested in the ghost market mentioned by Immortal Zixuan.

This made him think of the market he had been to in the Huang Forbidden Land.

And the deep night soon arrived. As the whimpering wind outside continued to echo, Xu Qing, who was practicing cross-legged in the inn room, had his expression stir.

He felt the aura outside reverse yin and yang in that instant, life and death alternating. He had experienced this scene and was not unfamiliar with it.

Xu Qing slowly opened his eyes and, after pondering, walked to the window.

Standing there, he pushed open a crack and looked outside.

Looking at the scene, the market outside had changed drastically.

Countless ghosts floated on the street, in all kinds of ferocious shapes, as if it were a night parade of a hundred ghosts.

At the same time, many workshops appeared, selling some items needed by the dead.

In the distance, in the center of this market, there existed a large number of iron chains, binding a big foot.

This big foot floated in mid-air, cyan all over, looking full of gloom. At the same time, Xu Qing's eyes shrank. He faintly felt that this cyan big foot was of the same origin as the monk's head he had seen in the ghost market of the Huang Forbidden Land.

"Dismembered and scattered in different ghost markets?" Xu Qing was thoughtful, simply pushed open the window, and jumped out.

Last time in the ghost market, he saw many good things, but couldn't afford them. After arriving in the Yinghuang Province, he had killed quite a few along the way. Although he didn't deliberately collect heart blood, he had quite a few souls, which could also be used as ghost coins.

Xu Qing felt he could go and look around again.

However, to avoid the trouble caused by the shadow last time, this time Xu Qing didn't let the shadow cover him, but activated the third Heavenly Palace, making his whole body permeate with the aura of the Poison Forbidden Pill.

Only then did he walk into the ghost market, mixing among the ghosts.

Time passed. Xu Qing was very smooth all the way in the ghost market and bought quite a few ghost poison items.

Seeing that it was approaching the break of dawn mentioned by Immortal Zixuan, Xu Qing was about to return, but not long after walking out, passing by a workshop, a singing voice faintly came from within that workshop.

The ghost market was silent, only this singing voice came faintly.

And the appearance of the sound didn't have any sense of abruptness, blending into the ghost market all around.

"The past life does not come, the afterlife is always there, cutting off lovesickness and painting dust."

The moment this singing voice entered Xu Qing's ears, Xu Qing paused his steps and turned his head abruptly to look over. ===== CHAPTER 389 =====
