Zhou Qing actually wanted to know why he was so attractive to Xu Ling.
But after hearing this, Zhou Qing understood that these five people were really targeting him and there was a high probability that this situation would not end peacefully.
He was able to react quickly and realized that the frequency of his encounters with Xu Ling was abnormal. If other people had also witnessed his multiple encounters with Xu Ling, they would naturally notice something strange.
Whether it is the lakeside spirit or the swamp spirit, it does not mean that they exist there and anyone passing by will be attacked by them.
It is more likely that they came along this route on purpose.
The Xu Ling do not have a fixed territory, or rather, the entire Jiuyang Xu is their territory.
Anyone who knows a little about Jiuyang Ruins will become suspicious after learning about Zhou Qing's situation.
Could this kid have something on him that attracts Xu Ling? How could something that can attract Xu Ling be bad?
Just as Zhou Qing thought, this team of five people noticed the movement here from a distance, so they sent the short man to observe and found that there was a Xu Ling chasing Zhou Qing.
Then the short man ran back and told the other four people what had happened.
It was strange to encounter two Xu Lings in a short period of time, which others might not encounter in a year! So the five-member team immediately decided to intercept Zhou Qing at the exit of the swamp and find out what was going on.
The leader of the five-member team, the middle-aged man, originally did not want to offend unnecessary people and cause trouble.
Zhou Qing showed himself to be a bone-refining warrior with good strength. If he wanted to escape with this strength, it would take some effort.
After all, the two sides were still some distance apart at the Dark Sun Lake. If they chased each other, it would inevitably cause quite a bit of noise and attract some other dangers.
It is still the Nine Yang Tide period, which makes the possibility of unexpected situations even greater.
The reason they didn't take action before was not because they were afraid of Zhou Qing, but because they felt it was unnecessary and not worth it.
The limitations of the environment give the weak a certain amount of room to maneuver. If they were outside, a martial artist who had mastered bone refining could be chopped into pieces by five people with one sword each.
The most important thing is that the value of a bone refining warrior's space bag is not worth their risk.
The eldest of the five made a rational choice and his teammates were also very obedient.
It can be said that this team of five is a smart group.
But the problem lies in their intelligence, they noticed that something was wrong with Zhou Qing.
The spirit of the ruins would only attack living things, so could the thing on this person that could attract the spirit of the ruins be a treasure that contained extremely rich vitality? The usefulness and value of such a treasure would be too great.
A space bag of a bone refining warrior is not worth their risk in Jiuyang Ruins, but something that may exist and can attract ruins spirits is completely worth it.
Judging from the fact that they had the idea of taking advantage of the situation before, we knew that these five people were not good people, and they had probably done this more than once.
Now that the benefits outweigh the risks, they have made the smart choice again.
Let's do this to him! He 's just a bone-refining warrior. Even if it's risky, it's within his tolerance!
If they really got such a treasure, even if it would attract the Ruin Spirit, the worst that could happen is that the five of them would just give the treasure away first.
When a multi-person team faces the Xu Ling, at least their safety is assured.
The young man dressed as a scholar asked, "Brother, can you tell us why the Xu Ling came to look for you?"
The short man threatened: "Boy, hand over your space bag and space ring, otherwise you will be torn to pieces by the ruins spirit behind you."
It's laughable to think that a dwarf like this would call Zhou Qing.
"Since you know that there is a Xu Ling chasing me, why don't you run away?"
Zhou Qing said: "Do you think that Xu Ling will let you go?"
"If I kill you, then I will kill that Ruin Spirit, and it will be the same."
"Young man, don't resist. I will be very gentle." The mature and charming woman laughed so hard that her body shook.
Zhou Qing glanced at her, thinking how shameless she was and how she was trying to flirt with him.
I have studied Li Sao.
Zhou Qing sighed softly, "I'm afraid that if I give you what you want, you won't be alive to take it."
He didn't ask these five men why they wanted to kill him, nor did he ask if they could just let it go and go home.
In a place like this, does robbery and murder need a reason?
unnecessary.
This is a lawless place, a no-man's land! "Huh!"
At this time, a violent storm blew up from behind Zhou Qing, overwhelming mountains and breaking trees and crushing the ground.
Then a giant beast flew out from the swamp at the rear, with such terrifying momentum that the flames on the ground were temporarily extinguished.
Zhou Qing looked back, his face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed towards the five people.
"Everyone, this wild beast just killed the Ruin Spirit directly. Now is the time for everyone to cooperate sincerely!"
"If you don't get rid of this beast, you won't be able to take away what's on me even if you kill me!"
The expressions of those five people also changed drastically, and they were frightened by the momentum of this giant beast.
There were two marrow cleansing warriors in their team, but compared with this giant beast, they seemed a little weak.
"What kind of beast is this?!"
The mature woman exclaimed, this is too much! "Damn it, this kid is actually diverting trouble!"
"Brother, what should we do?"
"run!"
The middle-aged man gave an order and then ran away first.
This terrifying aura was almost at the peak of the Marrow Cleansing Realm, and it was not something they could resist.
Not to mention that this is Jiuyang Ruins. Fighting with such a terrifying beast would definitely cause huge noise.
No one can predict what kind of horrible things will be attracted by then.
It would be easy to kill Zhou Qing, but to fight against this wild beast would be overestimating one's own abilities.
All six of them were running wildly, with the giant beast chasing behind them.
Zhou Qing looked at the five people in front of him with a cold smile on his face.
You offended me and you still want to run away? Close the door and release Kun! The Kun clone that was behind him suddenly disappeared, and when it reappeared, it actually went to the front, next to the middle-aged man.
Escape into the air!
In the face of such spatial means, wanting to escape is simply a pipe dream.
The middle-aged man was shocked. What was that? How did it suddenly appear next to me?
Is it a beast or a ghost?
Even a ghost wouldn't act like this! "Why are you chasing me?!!"
Isn't that the person closest to you? Why don't you kill him? Kun's clone swung his body. Although it was huge, its speed was not slow, but extremely fast.
In addition, he had just escaped through the air and was next to the middle-aged man, so close that he had no time to dodge.
"boom!"
It was just like a landslide and the ground collapsed. The middle-aged man was thrown out directly. His whole body exploded, his bones were broken, blood gushed out, and his body was twisted.
He flew out like a rag, and then fell heavily to the ground. He was still alive, but he had become a cripple and could not move.
During the escape just now, Zhou Qing had already seen the realms of these people clearly. Two of them were in the Marrow Cleansing Realm and were just entering it.
As for the other three, two have reached the great stage of bone refining, and one is probably at the extreme stage of bone refining.
With Zhou Qing's martial arts skills alone, he would definitely not be able to cope with such strength.
But it doesn't matter.
He has KunKun, who is trustworthy.
The giant beast blocked the way ahead and knocked a marrow cleansing warrior to the brink of death with one blow. The four men were deeply horrified.
What race are they? Then the four of them scattered and fled, not caring about anyone else.
Even if they are a couple who are birds of the same forest, they will fly away separately when disaster strikes.
Not to mention these people who are put together for some reasons.
But Zhou Qing stopped where he was and didn't run away anymore.
I was scared and I ran for my life.
I pretended.
Kun's clone disappeared again and escaped into space.
The next time it appears, it will severely injure a person to the point of being on the verge of death, leaving him or her completely unable to resist.
These people are very fast. If you ask Zhou Qing to chase them, it will be impossible for him to catch up with everyone. Some of them will definitely escape.
Even if he could make a small breakthrough and defeat these people, it would be impossible for him to wipe them out since they were determined to escape.
But in front of Kun's clone, escape is just a luxury.
No matter how fast you are, can you be faster than the power of space?
Then Kun's clone came to Zhou Qing again, and it...
Swallowed it in one gulp.
If other people saw it, they would think that Zhou Qing had been killed by the beast.
Kun's clone floated past the other five people one by one, and they all disappeared. Finally, Kun's clone floated away, shrinking in an instant and could no longer be sensed.
In the internal space of Kun's clone, five people were lying in front of Zhou Qing, and each of them looked miserable.
In a corner of the space inside the body, the two-colored spirit was trapped there, unable to escape, but it was not digested by Kun's clone.
Zhou Qing did this on purpose.
Kun's clone has a strong control over the space inside his body, and is not just able to store things.
It can also divide this space into "grids", trapping people in the grids and making it impossible to escape.
In the internal space of the body, Kun's clone can use more spatial abilities.
Zhou Qing looked down at the five warriors from above.
Yes, five against one, they must be full of confidence.
But in such a short period of time, the two poles reversed.
He was still alive and kicking, but these five people could no longer jump.
"You, what is your relationship with that wild beast?" asked the middle-aged man.
Every time he spoke, blood foam came out.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious about the relationship between chasing and being chased?"
"No need to waste words. I'm sure this isn't the first time you've killed people and taken treasures in Jiuyang Ruins. When you make such a decision, you should know what the price will be."
As soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, he took the middle-aged man's life, and then killed the others one by one.
Until the mature woman, she didn't want to die, so she begged:
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
"Please spare my life. I didn't mean to kill you, and I didn't agree with them attacking you. I was forced to do it."
"If you let me go, I can serve you. I can be your slave."
The woman's hands could still move. She pulled and Xue Zi appeared. It turned out to be this.
Zhou Qing looked at the woman covered in blood and shook his head slightly.
“It’s really ugly.”
“Swish!”
With one sword handed out, life ends.
Five bodies lay here.
Zhou Qing took away their souls and space devices, and then threw their bodies out. The yang fire fell, and the five bodies became five handfuls of ashes in the Jiuyang Ruins, floating in the wind.
Cremation is quite fashionable.
Of course, he would not let Kun's clone devour these five people.
Kun's clone is a strange beast, but he is a human being, how could he do such a thing?
The reason why I wanted to bring these five people into the internal space before killing them was because I didn't want them to die so simply.
To let them die at the hands of the wild beasts in Jiuyangxu would be too easy for them.
You can’t believe it, but I did all this!
Mr. Zhou is kind-hearted and does not want his enemies to die with grievances.
He did these things in his internal space to prevent being spied on by others.
It is also possible that it is not a human, but a special monster in Jiuyang Ruins.
He didn't want to expose the relationship between Kun's clone and him, so he just let Kun's clone kill all six of them, and that would be perfect.
Of course, there may not be any monsters lurking around, but it is always good to be careful.
Zhou Qing looked at the five souls that he had suppressed and shook his head slightly.
One wrong choice could cost you your life.
He began to search their souls. These people should have been hanging around in Jiuyang Ruins for many years and should be able to give Zhou Qing some very useful information.
Some information cannot be bought, and only those who have experienced it know it clearly.
But after searching the soul of the middle-aged man, Zhou Qing's expression changed.
"A temple that emerged from the ground?"
Zhou Qing was a little surprised. There was a very interesting thing in the middle-aged man's memory.
Not long ago, the ground at a certain location in the Dark Sun Ruins suddenly shook and rolled, and finally cracked, and then a palace was revealed.
The palace was well preserved. After it came into the world, several rays of light burst out and flew in all directions.
Later, when someone chased the scattered lights, they found that there were pieces of debris inside.
The positions of these fragments match those of the main portal of the temple, so it can be inferred that these fragments are probably keys.
Gather the keys and open the door; this was the consensus among everyone present at the time.
And this team of five people was the one present at that time. Uh, no, there were only three people in this team at that time, and the other two were the helpers they went to find after leaving Jiuyang Ruins.
Those people agreed not to spread the news and that they could find a small number of helpers, but they had to be trustworthy.
When all the keys are gathered, we will go into the temple and explore together.
The five people were heading for the palace, but unfortunately they had thoughts that they shouldn't have on the way and died.
However, thinking from their previous perspective, the choice of intercepting Zhou Qing could not be said to be wrong.
The competition is extremely fierce when exploring the temple, and it is hard to say what you will gain.
But if he came to rob and kill Zhou Qing, the rewards would be stable.
"This building suddenly appeared, and it is a relic from an unknown era..."
Zhou Qing thought for a moment and shook his head.
The location of the palace is deeper than the area where the heavenly fire may exist. No matter what, he must look for the heavenly fire first.
Whether he will intervene after the search for the skyfire ends, we will have to wait and see later.
Maybe by the time he finishes searching for the heavenly fire, the whole place will have been explored completely.
This five-member team was not doing well and had not found even a single piece of the key fragment before.
Otherwise, Zhou Qing could inherit their key fragments, and the building would not be open without him. Then after he went to search for the skyfire, he would be able to get there in time.
Now I can only go with the flow.
"This is not what I expected. Logically, when I encounter something like this, I should be able to obtain a key fragment from these extras. Moreover, this fragment can play a key role in the temple, helping me a lot, and finally letting me get all the benefits..."
Zhou Qing continued to search the soul while muttering to himself.
This is really unreasonable. Why don’t I have the same treatment as the son of luck?
After a while, Zhou Qing finished searching the soul, and indeed gained a lot of experience in exploring Jiuyang Ruins, which brought him considerable gains.
Compared to before, he is no longer a rookie in Jiuyangxu! After all, these five people have been in such dangerous places for many years, so their worth is also richer than that of normal warriors.
But it is still far inferior to Zhou Qing. Most of the spoils can only be placed in the space ring to see if they can be used in the future.
"Five souls can go mining and bring me some Yellow Spring Liquid. Unfortunately, they are all warriors' souls, not as durable as cultivators..."
As he was speaking, Zhou Qing suddenly fell silent.
Not very durable?
Zhou Qing suddenly had an idea and immediately looked at Xu Ling who was trapped in a corner.
He had previously felt that killing the Xu Ling directly would be too easy for them, and wanted to see if he could give them another way to die, so he did not let Kun's clone digest the Xu Ling immediately.
But now the souls of these five people gave Zhou Qing a reminder.
Can Xu Ling be his mining slave?
Oh my god, if Xu Ling can do it, he will really be the best mining slave.
A life that is so tenacious that it needs to be killed repeatedly to be taken away has no wisdom...
Innate mining holy body!
The soul of a warrior at the organ realm can only bring him one or two drops of Yellow Spring Liquid.
But even the weakest single-color spirit is many times more tenacious than the souls in the internal organs realm.
Even if a warrior at the Viscera Realm kills ten times, he may not be able to kill a single dead ruins spirit.
Even with the simplest conversion, if a single-colored Ruin Spirit could enter the Yellow Springs, it could at least bring him a dozen drops of Yellow Spring Liquid.
What's more, the longer you stay in the Yellow Spring, the more Yellow Spring liquid you will have.
If one could really enter the Yellow Spring, the Yellow Spring liquid that a single-colored spirit could bring out would only be more than ten or twenty drops!
The more Zhou Qing calculated, the more surprised he was.
There is really no one more suitable to be a mine slave than Xu Ling.
The only thing that needs to be worried about is that the Yellow Springs Dragon can only bring souls in. It is still unknown whether Xu Ling, a life form of unknown nature, can ride on the Yellow Springs Dragon.
Zhou Qing walked to that corner and observed Xu Ling closely.
There definitely isn't a physical body.
Compared with souls, it is like souls, but not particularly similar.
Zhou Qing took out the Yellow Springs Dragon and decided to give it a try.
He felt that although Xu Ling was mysterious, it was indeed possible for him to ride on the Yellow Springs Dragon.
Activate the Yellow Springs Dragon and let it absorb the spirit of the ruins.
Without the permission of its master Zhou Qing, the soul inside the Yellow Springs Dragon cannot come out.
Unless it can break the Yellow Springs Dragon by force.
But the difficulty of breaking a Yellow Springs weapon...
No further words needed.
Zhou Qing continued to urge the Yellow Springs Dragon, staring at it intently, and saw the Yellow Springs Dragon tremble slightly, and then disappear into the space inside the body.
It really worked! Zhou Qing was excited. His money printing machine could now run at full power.
Xu Ling, you came at the right time! The success of this attempt also allowed Zhou Qing to explore some of the characteristics of Xu Ling.
This kind of monster is probably related to the soul.
If you think about it carefully, their behavior does resemble that of souls.
