Chapter 9: consequences of threats

"Finally broke through."

Xu Qing stood up and punched out. There was a crisp sound that echoed in the air, and the wind even made the door of the house shake.

This scene made Xu Qing's eyes widen, and he could feel that he was much stronger than he was yesterday.

If he were to face the giant horned python now, Xu Qing believed that with one punch, he could directly smash the scales on its abdomen.

Not only that, his senses are also sharper than before. Not only can he see more clearly, but his hearing is also extremely sensitive. The knock on the door outside the yard also drifted into Xu Qing's ears at this time.

Xu Qing was startled and walked to the door of the house. With the help of the moonlight outside, he saw the figure of the little girl standing outside the bamboo gate of the courtyard through the gap.

The other party seemed to be injured and his body trembled a little.

Xu Qing frowned and didn't intend to pay attention, but the little girl still insisted and knocked gently on the door.

So after a while, Xu Qing pushed open the door of the house and walked out.

After seeing Xu Qing's figure, the little girl became visibly nervous. She resisted and did not step back, looking at Xu Qing through the bamboo door.

"Is something wrong?" Xu Qing asked.

"I... I also got the right to live in the camp, and... I also found a job in the camp." The little girl stammered.

"Understood." Xu Qing nodded and was about to turn back.

"Wait a minute... Thank you, I'm here to thank you," the little girl said quickly.

"No thanks, I want to eat it, it has nothing to do with you." Xu Qing said, turning around and walking towards the house.

Looking at Xu Qing's back, the little girl pursed her lips and suddenly spoke loudly.

"Anyway, I still thank you for this kindness... I will repay it in the future." After speaking, she staggered and disappeared into the dark night.

Xu Qing turned his head and looked at him, but he didn't take it to heart. After returning to the house, he took a deep breath and felt the change in himself. In his heart, he felt more confident about the idea of living a better life.

It was just the faint tingling pain from his left arm, which made him guess that the foreign body in his body should be at a very high concentration, and even snake gallbladder did not resolve it much.

At this moment, the night was quiet, and there were no beasts roaring outside. Xu Qing walked to the bed, looked at the clean bedding, and then looked at his dirty clothes.

After thinking for a while, he rolled up the clean bedding, put it aside, and laid down on the bed.

Instinctively, he pulled out the jet-black iron stick in his hand and held it in his hand, brewing drowsiness.

This iron sign is his most trusted partner.

Since he found it in the garbage heap many years ago, he has always carried it with him as his own weapon because he has noticed its sharpness and hardness.

"Look for a place to sell Baidan in the camp tomorrow."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart, and touched the leather bag, which contained some of his savings over the years, as well as a few valuable gems found in the city.

He didn't dare to take more gems, and he had seen the truth when he was a child.

In this thought, drowsiness came slowly, and Xu Qing's eyes gradually closed.

It's just that he was holding the iron stick in his hand, and he still grabbed it very hard, without relaxing at all.

The peaceful night passed by as the sun fell.

The next morning, Xu Qing, who got up early, left the hut.

Before leaving, he looked at Lei Team's room, the other party didn't seem to be in it, Xu Qing was out, so Xu Qing retracted his gaze and walked inside the camp.

Perhaps it was because of the shock that he took from a live snake yesterday, Xu Qing, who was walking in the camp, clearly felt the difference in the eyes of the scavengers around him when they looked at him.

No longer will he brew the evil of human nature because of his youthful appearance.

Instead, there was more recognition and more vigilance. At the same time, when the youths of the same age as him were hiding in the corners, when they saw him, their godless eyes also showed envy.

Dignity is earned by oneself.

Xu Qing said silently in his heart.

While looking for shops in the camp, Xu Qing was also familiar with the environment.

He found that there were quite a few wild dogs in the camp, barking at each other for food. Although most of them were skinny, some were stronger than some people.

After paying attention to these wild dogs, Xu Qing continued to observe the camp.

Until the entire camp was depicted in his mind, he found a shop in the inner ring area according to the map in his mind.

The shop is not small, and it is very lively with people coming and going, and it seems that everything is sold in it.

Xu Qing observed outside for a while, and noticed that in the shop, the little girl from yesterday was dressed as a guy. The other party is obviously doing errands here, and his forehead is sweaty.

It was not until Xu Qing walked into the shop that she noticed it. She was about to speak, but was called by a scavenger to inquire about the items.

Xu Qing did not immediately pay attention to the items in the shop, but first looked around at the people who came to buy items like him.

There were seven people in total, some were scanning the items, some were bowing their heads in contemplation, and some were bargaining. Two of them, one fat and one thin, seemed to be a group.

The fat person was round, and the thin person had a horse-faced face. He had a strong posture and a strong psychic energy fluctuation on his body. At this moment, one of them was berating the little girl, as if he was a little dissatisfied with her answer.

In the little girl's anxious apology, Xu Qing looked at the items in the store.

Similar to what he had judged, this is a grocery store, complete with medicine pills, weapons, clothes, food, etc.

So he retracted his gaze, walked to the counter, looked at the shopkeeper who was smoking a cigarette and looked like a desert, and spoke calmly.

"How to sell Bai Dan?"

"Bai Dan is limited, and only five pieces are sold every day. Today's share still has two pieces and one ten spirit coin."

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Qing, perhaps recognizing that he was yesterday's Beast Fighting Boy, and his attitude was better.

Hearing this price, Xu Qing frowned slightly, even though he was already prepared.

His savings over the years were only 23 spirit coins, but the stinging pain at the alienation point on his arm made him not hesitate. He carefully took out 20 spirit coins from the leather bag and handed them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper put away the spirit coins with a wave of his right hand, took out a cloth bag from the cabinet, and threw it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took it and opened it, and saw two white medicinal pills in the bag, and frowned again.

The surface layer of these two medicinal pills has turned blue in some places, obviously the texture has changed. It is not very fresh, and there is no medicinal fragrance. It looks very inferior.

"This is the case with all the Bai Dan in the camp. We don't have it here. Even if it's rotten, it still works. Just eat it with confidence."

Seeing Xu Qing's doubts, the shopkeeper said something without smiling.

Xu Qing was very cautious and did not eat it right away. He planned to go back and ask Lei Team, so he put it away and left.

But at this moment, his eyes flashed brightly, and his body swayed to the side.

Almost as soon as he avoided it, a hand landed on the spot where he was just now, grabbing the air.

Xu Qing looked coldly and saw the horse-faced scavenger in the shop who had berated the little girl before, now withdrew his hand and looked at himself with a somewhat surprised expression.

At the same time, his companion's round body also stood at the door, blocking the road, staring at Xu Qing, grinning, showing yellowed teeth.

"It's Fat Shan and Ma Si from Blood Shadow Squad!"

"This child was brought back by the Thunder Team. Thunder and Blood Shadow have always been at odds, so I don't participate in your affairs, but don't waste too much time, I still want to do business."

Others in the store were also attracted by the actions of the two, and whispered words after looking at them.

And the last sentence was said by the indifferent shopkeeper.

At this moment, the pedestrians outside the store also noticed this place and stopped to look at it with interest.

The little girl looked anxious and didn't know how to help.

"Don't worry, it won't be long." Ma Mian smiled and looked at Xu Qing with a cold flash in his eyes.

"Child, I have killed a lot of giant horned pythons, and I am not difficult for you. I need Baidan. Give me your two Baidan, and I will let you leave safely. Otherwise, I will cut your neck. Take Bai Dan from your body."

These words made Xu Qing's eyes colder. He looked at the other person's neck, and at the fat man blocking the door. He noticed that there were a lot of people outside, and he weighed it in his heart.

Any of these two people, even if the psychic fluctuations are not weak, still have a second-level appearance. He is confident that he is alone, and he can kill him directly within ten breaths.

Even if the two of them are together, he can kill them, but it will take longer.

But this is a busy city. Once the fight starts, the opponent is a team member and there must be a helping hand.

He doesn't want to put all his hopes on the timely arrival of the Thunder Team, and this is not his character. He doesn't like to put his hopes on others, and it is best to master it himself.

So Xu Qing blankly glanced at the horse-faced scavenger's neck again, took out the Baidan cloth bag with his right hand, and threw it directly without any delay.

His companion Fat Shan also stepped aside with laughter, Xu Qing walked out without turning his head.

The people around, both inside and outside the store, felt that this was normal in response. Under the law of the strong feeding the weak, the weak must be aware of current affairs, and this is the way to survive.

The little girl also breathed a sigh of relief. She was sweating just now. Seeing that the crisis was resolved, she continued to be busy.

As for Fat Shan and Ma Si, they walked out of the shop swaggeringly and walked away like laughing at each other.

It's just... No one noticed that behind Fat Shan and Ma Si, there was a figure that seemed to have disappeared and disappeared, with enough patience to follow him like a shadow without revealing himself.

Eyes like a wolf staring at its prey, staring at the two of them.

This figure is Xu Qing.

Time passed, and it was getting dark.

Fat Shan and Ma Si went to several places in this camp, wandering around for a whole day, but they didn't notice the figure who was always following behind them.

Until the moonlight hung high, the two finally separated.

Where Fat Shan went, there was a bonfire, and Ma Si, with lustful intent, walked towards the dark area outside the camp, carrying a group of tents with feathers.

And just as he was about to arrive and was about to walk out of the dark place in the camp, suddenly there was wind noise behind him.

Ma Sijing immediately turned his head, but there was nothing behind him. His expression changed after a moment's surprise. He was about to take action, but it was too late.

In an instant, a small hand stretched out from beside him, holding his mouth firmly, while a sharp dagger swiped across his neck without seeming to pause or hesitate.

With a hoarse sound, blood erupted suddenly, Ma Si's eyes widened and he wanted to struggle.

But the little hand that covered his mouth was extremely powerful, dragging his body backwards, no matter how much he struggled, it wouldn't help.

His feet could only struggle and pedal helplessly, and could not be prevented from being dragged into the darkness.

In the end, he was dragged into a corner like a chicken.

But until this moment, the little hand that was holding his mouth still didn't let go, but after waiting for a long time to make sure that he had lost his resistance, suffocated and bleeding too much, he was unable to struggle, and then he let go, making him trembling and weak. body, fell to the ground.

It was also at this time that Ma Si desperately used the dim moonlight to see the indifferent young figure in front of him.

"Woooo..."

Ma Si's eyes were full of disbelief. He could never have imagined that the young man who obediently handed over Bai Dan during the day would be so decisive and ruthless.

He seemed to want to tell the boy that the neck cutting he said during the day was just a threat, not a murder...

But the blood in his throat made him unable to speak. He could only watch the boy lower his body in despair in a weak whimper and rummage through his pockets expressionlessly.

After all the pages were finished, Xu Qing found his own Baidan, and there were five more. In addition, there were some miscellaneous spirit coins.

After putting it away, when Ma Si was terrified to the extreme, Xu Qing carefully took out the sackcloth wrapped around the snake's head, opened it cautiously, and used the snake's teeth to pierce Ma Si's body skillfully.

Ma Si's body twitched again in an instant, and it slowly melted from the wound. This feeling and pain of being corroded made him collapse.

Until Xu Qing raised his hand and covered his eyes, Ma Si's world lost its light from now on.

The whole body melted, turned into blood, and penetrated into the soil.

Xu Qing absorbed his previous negligence, turned out a prepared pocket from his body, and took away Ma Si's clothes and sundries before turning around and leaving.

After he left, two figures appeared in the darkness where Ma Si died.

It was the extraordinary old man in the purple robe and his servants that no one in the Colosseum could see yesterday.

The old man looked down at the melting ground of Ma Si, and then raised his head to look at Xu Qing's distant figure, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"It's a seedling. It can be forbearance and decisiveness. The most rare thing is that it can handle it cleanly, not bad."

The servant on the side looked a little surprised.

He has followed the old man for many years, and rarely heard the other person say that he is a good person, and this young man has been followed twice by him, so he also looked up at the direction where Xu Qing disappeared.

"Interesting little guy." The old man smiled and asked casually.

"How long will it take for Master Bai to arrive?"

"Seventh Master, according to Master Bai's itinerary, it should be possible to reach this place within the next day or two." The servant retracted his gaze and spoke respectfully.

"It's finally here. This time, the old man has to persuade him well. Zi Tu's broken places are all rules. There's nothing to be missed. Why don't you come to my Seven Blood Boys and feel at ease."

The old man laughed, seemed very happy, and looked at where Xu Qing had gone.

"Come on, let's go and see what this little wolf cub is going to do next."
