When Ding Xue heard this, she immediately took out the jade slip and looked at Xu Qing.
As long as Xu Qing indicated it, she planned to send a voice transmission for help.
Xu Qing did not speak, but listened carefully until after waiting for a long while, the same voice as before in the secret passage was repeated a second time.
"Daddy, come home quickly..."
The voice still carries a strong longing, and this emotion is very strong. It seems to be coming from the secret passage, but it gives people a sense of calling in the ear, and it is easy for people to see pictures in front of their eyes.
Xu Qing pondered deeply. He did not detect any dangerous fluctuations in the secret passage, nor did he detect the strange gloomy cold in his perception, but he still ignited the fire of life instantly and opened the Xuan Yao state.
In the past month or so, this is the first time Xu Qing has opened the Xuan Yao state in front of Ding Xue. The dangers he encountered before can be resolved by his normal state.
At this moment, with the sudden burst of momentum, Ding Xue and Zhao Zhongheng both took a breath and instinctively stepped back, their eyes stinging for a moment and they dared not look directly.
Ding Xue was okay, although she couldn't open her eyes, she was more pleasantly surprised than shocked, but Zhao Zhongheng's expression changed, and the construction in his heart almost collapsed again at this moment.
"Who said that standing in the light is a hero, my sincerity is different!" Zhao Zhongheng was breathing rapidly, and he shouted encouragement to himself in his heart.
Xu Qing didn't know the hearts of Ding Xue and Zhao Zhongheng at the moment, and he didn't care about them. Now with the opening of Xuan Yao state, he didn't hesitate at all. He rushed forward and stepped directly into the secret passage.
As he entered, Xu Qing's speed was astonishing, and he whistled toward the depths along the secret passage. The sound of bang, bang, and sonic boom was heard wherever he passed, and a series of echoes were heard in the narrow secret passage.
At the same time, he also noticed that the heterogeneous internal corpse poison in this place is indeed active and dissipating rapidly, like volatilization after death.
Xu Qing was thoughtful, and in an instant, he reached the end of the secret passage, his eyes were like electricity, and he quickly observed the surroundings.
It's like a simple hiding place.
In the corner there is a figure of the Sea Corpse Clan, who looks like an old man of the human race, and is now dead in the corner of the wall.
There are several shocking scars on the corpse, especially in the dantian location, which is a lake of flesh and blood, where the injury is the most deadly, and it is almost pierced. This corpse is also the source of heterogeneity and corpse poison.
And even if he died, the fluctuations in his body were still very strong. Xu Qing glanced at him and judged that this person was at least like a fire in his life.
This sea corpse was obviously seriously injured by the extinction of vitality on the mermaid island, and insisted on hiding here, unable to escape, and even more difficult to recover, and finally died silently here.
The time of death should not be long, so the secret passage was opened before, and the foreign matter was released.
And its expression is also a little different from the sea corpse clan that Xu Qing has seen. Although it is gradually decaying, it can still vaguely see the confusion before birth.
Especially when he was holding a bronze vial tightly in his hand.
As if this was the most precious item before his death.
The vial was very old and had been opened, and there was a sound that Xu Qing had just heard.
"Daddy, come home quickly..."
The voice is very weak, with a strong feeling of nostalgia.
And the old man of the sea corpse seems to have opened the bottle before death, and in the process of gradually dying, he kept listening to this voice over and over again.
It seems that this is the voice of his closest relatives.
Xu Qing swept his eyes over the bottle and looked around again. When he was sure that there was no danger here, there were footsteps behind him.
The people who came were Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xue. After Xu Qing entered the secret passage, they waited for a while and noticed that there was no movement inside, so Ding Xue was anxious and ran in quickly, and Zhao Zhongheng could only follow.
Noticing that Xu Qing was okay at this moment, Ding Xue breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked around. After seeing everything here, she looked at the bottle in the hands of the corpse of the sea corpse, and exclaimed.
"Voice catcher!"
Ding Xue, who has an amazing background, is obviously beyond the ordinary cultivator in cognition. At this moment, she recognized the origin of the bronze vial at a glance, so after noticing Xu Qing's gaze, she hurriedly informed it.
"The sound-capturing bottle is an antiquity, very rare, its value is invaluable to some people, but not valuable to many people, because its function is very single, that is to capture sound, cover it and open it at any time You can hear the sound being captured."
"The sound is very real, and it can even be said to be the original sound. This is its strangeness and preciousness, but it cannot last for a long time. After opening it for a long time, the sound will slowly dissipate, and it needs to be recaptured."
Having said that, Ding Xue looked at the sea corpse clan, and at the sound trapping bottle that he held tightly in his hand, which seemed to be a treasure to him, and seemed to understand something.
"The sea corpse are all clansmen of various tribes who are resurrected in a unique way after death. Once they become a sea corpse, they can only retain the memories left behind during their lifetime."
"But the memory has no effect, because the nature of the sea corpse clan is cruel, the moment of resurrection is equivalent to cutting off the previous life, and there are few things that are nostalgic in the life."
"If this bottle is his, then this sea corpse clan is really unusual. He actually kept things from his life. The bottle should be his nostalgia and obsession."
"As for the voice in the bottle, maybe it was his child? But no matter what he was, he was already a sea corpse."
Ding Xue's tone was somewhat uncertain. Obviously, she herself was not quite sure whether the truth was as she judged it, so she looked at Xu Qing after speaking.
"It's not important." Xu Qing shook his head, raised his right hand to grab it, and the bronze vial flew into his hand.
At this moment, the sound in the bottle was completely weakened, and after the last call was heard, it completely disappeared.
Ding Xue glanced at Zhao Zhongheng. It would be difficult to see the meaning of this look if it was changed to someone else, but Zhao Zhongheng understood it, and without any hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and rummaged through the body of the sea corpse clan.
A storage bag was quickly found, and the three left the secret passage.
The sound trapping bottle was covered by Xu Qing and put away.
Ding Xue informed the sect of the discovery of this place, and it was considered that the task was completed. As for the items in the storage bag, there were not many items, but most of them were sundries.
There are several hundred spirit stones, and there are three or five spirit tickets.
Xu Qing glanced at it, he took the sound trapping bottle, and did not ask for the rest.
Xu Qing didn't know what use this bottle would have in the future, but the thing itself was very strange, and Xu Qing felt that it still had some value.
Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xue were both wealthy people, and they didn't like the contents of the storage bag, but they divided it up. After all, it was a gain.
In this way, as the matter of the secret room was reported by Ding Xue, this matter also came to an end, and other disciples of the sect would deal with the follow-up matters.
And time passed quickly. As Ding Xue became more and more depressed because of Zhao Zhongheng's appearance, the one-month task deadline was up. Following Xu Qing's farewell and departure, Ding Xue was extremely regretful, and caught up and cared about it.
"Senior Brother Xu, you must be careful about the dangers on the front lines. Your own safety is the most important thing."
"My cultivation base is weak and I have nothing to do, but I will ask my aunt to take more care of you. If you encounter something that cannot be solved here, you can go to her directly."
"Also, Senior Brother Xu, thank you for your help during this time. I will definitely work harder to learn the grass and trees, and try to get myself to join the Seven Sect Alliance as soon as possible. At that time, I will be able to help Senior Brother on the grass and trees."
Ding Xue looked serious, and then said something casually.
"As for the path of vegetation on the second peak of Qixuetong, it's actually a bit poor. I will definitely be more powerful than the disciples of the second peak in the future."
"Thank you, you also take care of yourself, come on." Xu Qing was a little emotional when he heard the words. He could hear the sincerity in Ding Xue's words. In his heart, he felt that although Ding Xue was a little careful this month, he was generally a good person. , and is very diligent and studious, Xu Qing is very recognized for this latter point.
As for what she said about the second peak, the grass and trees were poor, Xu Qing didn't have much contact with the second peak, so he couldn't comment, so he clenched his fists towards Ding Xue and turned away.
Ding Xue reluctantly looked at Xu Qing's back and disappeared from her eyes, then turned around and gave Zhao Zhongheng a hard look, snorted coldly, and chose to leave Mermaid Island.
She knew very well that the front line was dangerous and her cultivation was not suitable for staying here.
Zhao Zhongheng looked at Ding Xue's graceful back, his eyes were very firm, and he felt that his judgment was correct.
"Xiuwei is not important in this matter. My sincerity and sincerity can trump everything! Then Xu Qing Xiuwei is indeed better than me, but he said that he would leave, but I am not like this, I will always accompany my senior sister. ."
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongheng took a deep breath and hurriedly followed, and in Ding Xue's boredom, they went back together.
As for Xu Qing, he did not leave the mermaid island.
After completing the task of protecting Ding Xue, he gained not only three disorderly teleportation charms, but also a decree given by the deputy peak master alone.
With this decree, he can interrupt the frontline combat on his own without applying, even while on a mission.
Because of this, he has the right to return to the Seven Blood Boys Mountain Gate at any time. At the same time, his obligation to participate in the war is still there, but it has been changed from the front line to the rear.
In this way, his record and the subsequent rewards of the war will not be reduced.
This gives him a lot of autonomy.
This kind of decree is difficult for even the elders of Jindan to issue. Only the high-level peak master level has this qualification, so it is of great value.
Xu Qing knew very well that this was given to him by the Deputy Peak Master because of Ding Xue.
"This is a favor, I need to repay Ding Xue's place in the future." Xu Qing took this matter to heart, and took out the identity token to check the tasks inside.
He was not ready to leave immediately. Although it took a month for Ding Xue's mission to protect the Dao, his war ranking dropped to more than seventy again, but Xu Qing felt that it would not be difficult to add it.
He wants to enter the top 50 and get the right to use the magic weapon projection once.
So in the next time, Xu Qing was immersed in the state of accepting tasks again, busy with one task after another every day, killing sea corpses, refining sea corpses, and occasionally brushing shadows.
Gradually, his ranking has reached more than 50. When he is not very far away from obtaining the magic weapon projection, this day... Xu Qing, who had just paid the mission, was about to take up the next mission. Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked down at his own. feet.
Then his eyes showed Qimang, and his body disappeared in place in a flash. After reaching a remote corner, Xu Qingdan opened his mouth.
"What are you going to say?" Just now, the shadow conveyed some mood swings to him.
"Promotion... Quiet... Security... Breakthrough..." Shadow's effortful expression.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
In this war with the sea corpse clan, the shadow helped a lot. Now after swallowing so many sea corpse clan, it is finally about to break through, which makes Xu Qing full of expectations.
It is true that after he opened fire here, the shadow and the ancestor of the King Kong sect obviously couldn't keep up with him, but Xu Qing was still wary of the shadow and the ancestor of the King Kong sect, especially the former.
At this moment, as the shadow conveyed the information to break through, the black iron sign on the side trembled slightly, and the ancestor of the King Kong sect inside also quickly sent out spiritual thoughts.
"Master, Xiao is about to report to you, Xiao here... can already break through, and also needs a quiet and safe environment, because... The artifact spirit method I cultivate is different from other messy things. Breakthrough will lead to Come to Tianlei to wash your soul!!"
"Once a small breakthrough, the effect and combat power similar to Xuan Yao state can erupt, and it is invincible!"
The words of the ancestor of the King Kong sect revealed decisiveness, but there was anxiety in his heart.
In fact, he is still a little closer to breaking through, but now he can't wait. He feels that once Shadow breaks through first, if he remains like this, his status will be second, and the most important thing is that he is likely to be regarded as a chicken rib.
Once he is considered to be tasteless, then he feels that he will be thrown out as cannon fodder at some point...
So, he is ready to fight.
Xu Qing glanced at the black iron sign, then looked at the shadow again, with a decision in his heart.
