Chapter 342 - 342 If the Wolf Turns Its Head, There Must Be a Reason
342 If the Wolf Turns Its Head, There Must Be a Reason
The sky was bright and everything bizarre had disappeared. Xu Qing found a large tree and sat on its crown to recuperate.
When the sun was high in the sky, he opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the ghost city that appeared last night. The ferocity in his eyes grew increasingly intense. After that, he leaped down and began to wander in the jungle.
Xu Qing didn’t search for the beast he had planned to target today. Instead, he sped through the forbidden region. He observed every area he passed by carefully. An hour later, he saw a valley.
Xu Qing activated his Mystic Brilliance Form and checked the valley.
From above, this valley looked like a concave shape. There was only an entrance and no exit.
After confirming that there were no major problems here, Xu Qing looked around him. He suddenly punched the mountain rock at the side.
A large number of rubble fell off, revealing a large hole in the mountain.
Xu Qing swept his gaze over and continued punching in different directions.
A while later, Xu Qing punched dozens of large holes in the mountain walls on both sides of the valley.
After doing this, he continued to bombard the ground of the valley, forming dozens of large pits before stopping.
He calculated the time and entered a large hole. He then took out an iron box from his storage bag.
This box was none other than the wish box that contained the Poison Restriction Pill.
Xu Qing opened the wish box and placed it on the ground.
Immediately, the aura emitted by the poison pill in the wish box spread in all directions.
Xu Qing quickly retreated and didn’t bother with the poison pill that was letting out its aura wantonly. He grabbed the rocks that had been blasted down in the surroundings and piled them at the edge of the hole where the poison pill was placed, forming a wall.
Although this stone wall couldn’t completely seal the hole, with Xu Qing’s understanding of the Poison Restriction Pill, as long as there was no wind, the aura it emitted could exist for at least a day.
When there was only a small gap in the wall, Xu Qing waited for a while and waved his hand; the wish box flew over and he immediately closed it. He then sealed the entrance of the cave and went to the second hole.
Xu Qing was planning to let the poison pill’s aura permeate the air In every hole, including the deep pits on the ground. This way, due to the special environment of the valley, the leaked poisonous air would remain in the valley.
Xu Qing continued to work.
The Diamond Sect’s ancestor trembled when he saw Xu Qing doing the work with a ferocious look in his eyes. He thought to himself that it could have provoked anyone but it had to provoke this Demon Xu…
Just like that, time flowed by.
Xu Qing’s arrangements continued until night fell. When it was almost midnight, Xu Qing finally finished setting up everything.
There were a total of more than 60 large holes here, and he had filled all of them with the poison pill’s aura and sealed them.
The poison pill’s aura in the valley was already very dense. During this process, even Xu Qing couldn’t bear the poisonous air. He had to go out several times to recover before continuing with the work.
Now that he was finally done, he glanced at the valley with satisfaction.
Xu Qing felt that even with his resistance, he could only stay inside for about eight minutes. Once that time was crossed, he wasn’t confident that the purple crystal could save him.
In that case, any other existences who were poisoned by this poison would definitely feel even more uncomfortable.
“Let’s see how long that big head can last!” Xu Qing left the valley and sat cross-legged in the jungle not far from the valley. There were three large trees he had cut down here that were arranged in a triangular pattern.
There were also three white candles on the tree.
Xu Qing was worried that the head wouldn’t appear by itself tonight. Hence, he was prepared to summon it if it really didn’t come.
While waiting, midnight finally arrived.
Reality proved that Xu Qing was overthinking. The moment the time arrived, he didn’t need to summon the ghost city. He could already sense the familiar coldness in the surroundings and the white fog when he exhaled.
“It’s here!” Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.
Very soon, the jungle in front of him was filled with fog. At the next instant, the familiar ghost city descended again.
This time, there were clearly more chains around the monk’s head than last night. The suppression of the ghost city on it was more intense than before.
However, since this ghost city still appeared, it meant that this level of suppression wasn’t enough.
The instant the ghost city appeared, the monk’s eyes abruptly opened and locked onto Xu Qing.
“The Golden Crow must die!”
As it spoke, the head leaped up fiercely like yesterday. It ignored the arm chains that were wrapped around its body and directly headed toward Xu Qing. Its speed was so fast that it crashed near Xu Qing.
At the next instant, the trees where Xu Qing was at collapsed and the ground shattered.
Xu Qing had already activated his Mystic Brilliance Form earlier and fled into the distance. He even put on a horrified expression.
“You’re like a lingering ghost. What exactly do you want!!”
Even though the other party was delirious, Xu Qing still shouted just in case.
The monk head behind him landed on the ground and rolled forward. A strange laugh came from its mouth and it moved closer and closer at a rapid speed.
The ghost city was also trembling at this moment. More ghost hands erupted from it and chased after the monk head. The scene from last night appeared again, but Xu Qing had already rushed into the valley.
Seeing that Xu Qing had entered the valley, the monk head might be too confident or it might be because its mind wasn’t clear and it couldn’t judge, it didn’t stop at all and directly rolled over to the valley to chase after Xu Qing while letting out a low roar.
However, at the next instant, this low roar stopped abruptly.
After that, a monstrous sound rang out from the valley. Amidst the rumbling, the head that rolled in immediately retreated. Its delirious face was replaced by horror.
A large amount of skin on its face was rotting.
However, no blood flowed out.
It was as though the existence of this head didn’t possess blood but some kind of special physique.
However, no matter how special it was, it still showed signs of rotting and melting under the aura of the poison pill left from the previous era.
As it rolled out, Xu Qing, who was in the valley, performed a series of hand seals with both hands; immediately, an incomparably huge mosasaur appeared behind him and slammed fiercely into the valley.
Boom!
The valley collapsed and the poison pill’s aura spread in all directions.
The head couldn’t avoid the poisonous aura and was tainted a little more. The horror on its face became even more intense until it disintegrated on its own, transforming into countless small heads that attempted to disperse the poison.
However, the poison pill’s power was terrifying. Even if it scattered it, it was still difficult to completely neutralize it.
Although the poison wasn’t acting up rapidly, it was obvious that its level was extremely high and it couldn’t be neutralized easily.
Killing intent erupted from Xu Qing’s eyes as he quickly rushed out. He lifted his right hand and the heavenly saber appeared, slashing fiercely at the small heads that were scattered in the surroundings.
The ground rumbled and the Golden Crow also rose up, spitting out black flames in all directions, turning the surroundings into a sea of fire. It then inhaled fiercely.
As for the shadow and the Diamond Sect’s ancestor, they didn’t dare to make a move at this moment. They were also afraid of that poison.
Only the little black bugs had some resistance to the poison. They rushed out and began to devour the heads. Xu Qing slashed with his heavenly saber again. The ground quaked and the small heads let out mournful cries as they quickly ran into the distance.
At that moment, every small head disintegrated again, trying to separate the rotting part.
Seeing this, Xu Qing didn’t continue fighting. He took out a magic artifact he had obtained from Sima Ling that targeted bizarre entities.
This magic artifact was a beautiful, small pagoda made of crystal.
Its activation procedures were simple and only needed magic power. Xu Qing activated it and waved it at a small head that had weakened after removing the rotting parts.
The small head’s strength had clearly decreased after cutting out its parts. It was enveloped by the crystal pagoda and was instantly sealed.
Xu Qing grabbed it and kept it. He immediately turned around and left.
He was clear that although his Poison Restriction Pill was terrifying, what he had released this time was only its aura. It wasn’t the true poison restriction. There was a huge difference between them.
Xu Qing wasn’t sure about its true might.
However, he had some guesses after looking at the monk head unable to neutralize the poison even after splitting into countless heads. Since he had taken his revenge, Xu Qing left very quickly.
Although he didn’t completely kill the other party this time, the strange monk head probably didn’t feel good either. Moreover, he had obtained a specimen to study and find a way to completely kill it.
“Or I can just wait till I fuse the Poison Restriction Pill and am able to display its true might before I come to kill it!” Xu Qing suppressed his killing intent and walked further and further away.
Just like that, several days passed.
Xu Qing didn’t know what the ending of the strange monk head was but over the next few nights, the ghost city didn’t appear again. Xu Qing also didn’t play the ghost flute to check.
Before he had the ability to completely kill the other party, Xu Qing felt no point in checking. However, he carved the word ‘monk head’ on the bamboo slip.
After that, he placed all his energy on searching for the toxic beasts he planned to obtain. The method was simple. The shadow scattered a large number of shadow eyes on the ferocious beasts in the forbidden region. They scattered in all directions like countless spies, helping Xu Qing search for his targets.
As time passed, Xu Qing’s search went smoothly. He finished gathering all the toxic beasts in his list and obtained more poison.
During this time, Xu Qing also used the evil yin poison he had bought. Coupled with the poison he obtained later, the little black bugs could resume its path of transformation.
After they were formed in batches, Xu Qing continued to nurture them with the help of the ferocious beasts’ bodies, causing the little black bugs to become stronger and stronger. However, as they underwent many transformations, the time for each transformation grew increasingly long.
Since he was free, Xu Qing was considering whether he should make a trip to the ruins where the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple was located to see if he could comprehend the Extreme Heaven Saber there.
When this thought rose, the shadow transmitted a surprised emotion to Xu Qing.
“…Idiot… Parasite… Praise…”
“Idiot?” Xu Qing started.
“Master, Master, what Little Shadow means is that the idiot from the First Peak was seen by a ferocious beast parasitized by its shadow eye in the nearby area. Moreover, he was acting suspiciously.” The Diamond Sect’s ancestor transformed and quickly translated, automatically ignoring the word ‘praise’ Little Shadow mentioned.
‘You want Demon Xu to praise you? Little Kid, don’t even dream about it as long as I translate for you!’
The sky was bright and everything bizarre had disappeared. Xu Qing found a large tree and sat on its crown to recuperate.
