Chapter 71 The Evil of the Zhao Family (Seventeen)
Xu Qiuqian hurried over to stop it.
The boy seemed to notice someone approaching him. He turned his head and stared at Xu Qiuqian fiercely.
Xu Qiuqian was in a trance for a moment.
Because the boy's current state made her feel inexplicably familiar.
He looked awake, but in fact his consciousness had already fallen asleep. What supported his body movements was not himself, but something else.
She had seen this scene in the laboratory in her previous life.
When the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast first appeared, Professor Ailo asked them to send over a corpse of the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast for research.
But after a month of research, something went wrong.
It said that a staff member suddenly became crazy for some reason and started slashing people with a scalpel. Many people in the laboratory were seriously injured by him. Others wanted to get close to restrain him, but they couldn't do it at all because he seemed to be insensitive to pain.
Finally they asked for support, and Xu Qiuqian happened to pass by, so he went with them.
The condition of the staff member I saw was the same as the little boy in front of me.
Is it a coincidence?
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
It is said that the staff member's condition was caused by his high mental strength and frequent contact with the Star Eclipse Beast, and he did not wear protective gear when entering and leaving the laboratory.
Because the Star Eclipse Beast will emit a gas called "mirage" after death.
Wait, gas? Could it be...
Before Xu Qiuqian could think about it, the boy rushed towards her with his fists waved.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian entered the Void Mall, searched for a while, spent 10 points to buy a bundle of spirit ropes and then left the Void Mall.
The boy was able to hurt other children because he was the oldest among the group, and usually these children treated the boy as their older brother and would not fight back even if they were beaten.
But the boy was thin due to years of hunger and had no strength at all.
Xu Qiuqian tied up the boy easily.
The harder the boy struggled, the tighter the rope would be tied. No matter how hard the boy struggled, he could not be hurt. Xu Qiuqian hugged the boy with one hand and held the night light in the other.
"Take him with me." She glanced at the child who was lying on the ground with a bruised face and unconscious.
So the remaining few children brought their children, and the little girl brought her baby, followed Xu Qiuqian.
Li Shiqian and Yun Yi were guarding the door.
Seeing Xu Qiuqian and a few children entering the store, he quickly took it.
Xu Qiuqian described the situation just now, "...so I guess he should have introduced Qi into his body in the past few days."
Hearing this, Li Shiqian used her spiritual power to investigate the boy's condition.
"You guessed right. He just drew the Qi into his body not long ago. It should be because we have been feeding them spiritual rice and spiritual beast meat these days."
Neither of them had expected that one of these children actually had spiritual roots and could draw Qi into his body in just a few days without anyone teaching him! The higher the cultivation level, the greater the influence of this dark yellow gas.
Although the boy had spiritual roots, he did not try to practice, so the impact on him was small. He never thought that he would meet Xu Qiuqian and the others. After eating, he didn't have to worry about how to find food, so he thought about other things!
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
This is really too much of a coincidence.
Xu Qiuqian thought about it.
"Let them live in the backyard first. There are three rooms in the backyard, which is enough for them to live in." There were seven children in total. One was affected by the gas, another was seriously injured, and the others were slightly injured. One was a baby.
Li Shiqian responded.
After taking the children to the backyard and upstairs, she originally planned to put them in rooms, two by two, and have her take care of the baby. However, she didn't expect that the children would refuse to leave each other and insisted on staying in one room.
The baby too, started crying loudly as soon as she was taken out.
So the seven children had to stay together.
Fearing that the boy might break free, Xu Qiuqian specially made a formation and told the children not to enter the formation if he broke free.
The children behaved very obediently.
Seeing that they were still timid and looked extremely scared.
After feeding the seriously injured little boy a first-grade recovery pill and giving simple bandages to the others, the two left the room.
"Manager, you go to sleep. I live next door to them. If anything happens, I can rush over immediately. There won't be any problem."
Xu Qiuqian nodded and returned to the second floor of the store.
Lying on the soft cloud bed, holding the little green-haired beast in my arms and petting it, I couldn't help but think of what had just happened.
She saw clearly the condition of the staff member at that time, which was indeed the same as the boy's, and both of them were suffering from gas. However, she had not heard at that time that the gas emitted by the corpse of the Star Eclipse Beast was dark yellow.
Could it really be just a coincidence? After all, the Starry Sky Eclipse Beast is in the interstellar space, and this is a world of immortal cultivation.
Perhaps, once we find out the source of the dark yellow gas, we will know whether the two are related...
As I thought about it, my eyelids started to twitch.
Xu Qiuqian didn't last more than a few seconds before falling into a deep sleep.
In the following time, Xu Qiuqian basically spent all the time in the store, and the children ate with them.
After the eldest boy, Yu Xian, woke up, Xu Qiuqian called Chen Wu and handed all the children over to him.
"They are both fatherless and motherless. What do you think you can do with them?"
"That's easy. There are many people like them among the mortals who follow me. Manager Xu, rest assured, I will definitely arrange everything for them!"
Xu Qiuqian nodded, and then continued: "Yu Xian has spiritual roots, I don't know what kind of spiritual roots he has, you decide when to take him to get tested."
If it is someone with four or five spiritual roots, the other families probably won’t accept him.
But if you have three spiritual roots or above, the other families should accept you.
Joining the family is always better than following Chen Wu. It’s not that following Chen Wu is bad, but following Chen Wu will definitely not give you as many resources as joining the family.
At this time, several children suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Qiuqian.
"Manager, I cannot repay your kindness. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you!"
Xu Qiuqian helped several people up, looking serious.
"Let's not talk about repaying you for now. Don't forget the money you owe me for meals these days, and the recovery pills you fed to Zhu. Seven people have a total of 233 low-grade spirit stones. Don't forget!"
All words like repaying a favor are empty.
Spiritual stones are something you can see and touch! These past few days, the kids have been eating a lot of her food like starving ghosts. These spiritual rice and spiritual beast meat are all real spiritual stones!
She won't erase it just because they are children!
Yu Xian was stunned for a moment before nodding seriously.
"Don't worry, manager. I won't forget it!"
Several other children also said in unison: "We will never forget it!"
Xu Qiuqian nodded with satisfaction.
Time flies.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xiao Pingyue came with an unexpected person.
