Chapter 12: Unknown Dangers
"Forget it, dig a pit and bury it!"
After touching it for a while, except for two bottles of jade snake ointment, three taels of snowflake silver, and a secret book wrapped in cowhide, he didn't find the talisman he wanted on Fang Nianshui's body.
He originally wanted to see if he could find a flame talisman or something from Fang Nianshui's body, and directly burned his body to ashes, but unfortunately he didn't find it.
Since he couldn't find the talisman, and he didn't dare to walk around at will, if he encountered anything weird, the gains outweighed the losses, so the best way was to bury them on the spot.
Isn't it easy to dig a pit, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five?
Not daring to delay, Ye Qing immediately used Fang Nianshui's long knife to dig a deep pit about two zhang deep on the ground, threw the body into the pit, and buried it.
In a pit more than two zhang deep, ordinary people will not find Fang Nianshui's body at all, and after two days, his body will be eaten by the strange monsters underground, and he will disappear from this world forever.
"Whew, okay!" After doing all this, Ye Qing carefully checked it, and after finding that nothing was missing, he was completely relieved.
As soon as he had rested for a while, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded, and Lin Hu rushed over with a few people and stopped two feet away from Ye Qing.
"Ye Qing?" Lin Hu asked with a frown.
Ye Qing also looked at Lin Hu and the others vigilantly, all of them were injured, obviously they had experienced a hard battle before: "It's me, captain!"
"Have you also encountered a strange human skin?" Lin Hu glanced at the human skin on the ground and said with a solemn expression.
Ye Qing said solemnly: "Yes, Fang Tou and I were patrolling the road before, and suddenly I heard Uncle Ma shouting for help......
Ye Qing described what he had seen before.
Lin Hu frowned: "What about Nianshui?"
Ye Qing's heart jumped, but his face was not shocked: "After Fang Tou killed these people before, he seemed to have discovered something, Fang Tou felt that my strength was low and he couldn't help, so he let me stay where I was and chased after me alone." ”
Lin Hu pondered: "Nian Shui should have discovered the true body of the strange human skin, but it was too reckless!"
He didn't doubt Ye Qing's words at all, or he didn't think about it at all.
"What's the matter, captain, have you also encountered strange human skins?" Ye Qing asked.
Lin Hu sighed: "Yes, many villagers have been killed today and turned into human skins, and I don't know what is going on?"
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, Ye Qing, you come with us to kill all the human skin monsters wandering outside the village first, otherwise the villagers who go out to farm will be in danger. Lin Hu commanded.
"Yes!" everyone responded, and then, Ye Qing followed Lin Hu and the others around the fields around Junshan Village, but the strange thing was that they didn't encounter a single skin monster.
"Strange, weren't there so many people just now? Why are they all gone now?
Lin Hu frowned: "Don't be careless, these people are weird and strange, it is estimated that we killed it before is not its body, its body should still be alive." ”
Everyone nodded their heads in understanding!
"By the way, along the way, we haven't met Nianshui, Nianshui won't have ......" Suddenly, a person who was familiar with Fang Nianshui spoke.
Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone knew it, and suddenly seemed a little silent and worried.
"Let's go back to the village first, see if Nianshui has gone back!" After being silent for a while, Lin Hu spoke: "If something really happens...... It is also his own fault, his own fault. ”
"Everyone is tired, let's go back first!"
Following Lin Hu, everyone returned to Junshan Village, and after being inspected by the Sky Survey Mirror, they entered the village.
As soon as he entered the village, Lin Hu turned his head and asked the guard at the door, "Is Fang Nianshui back?"
The guard shook his head: "He hasn't come back yet, what's wrong?"
Lin Hu's eyes darkened, and he didn't answer positively: "It's okay, let's go back first, thank you for your hard work!"
Although he said this, he knew that Fang Nianshui's hope of survival was already very small!
Others are equally sad and related!
"Okay, don't think about it, everyone is tired for a day, go back and have a good rest, and we will continue to patrol tomorrow to prevent the human skin monster from messing up again!" Lin Hu rubbed his sore eyebrows and said tiredly.
"Okay, Captain, you can rest well, don't be too tired!" several squad leaders responded, and turned to leave.
"Ye Qing, you wait, I have something to say to you!" Ye Qing was just about to leave when he was stopped by Lin Hu.
Ye Qing chuckled in his heart, but his face was extremely calm: "Captain, is there something wrong?"
"Nianshui hasn't come back yet, it's estimated that it's already more auspicious, I'll arrange it, you follow Tianhong and their group to patrol tomorrow." Lin Hu's tone was heavy, and his face was full of regret.
Fang Nianshui is only in his thirties, he has reached the level of quenching, he has begun to condense his true qi, and he is only half a step away from stepping into the condensation realm, he is the youngest generation in Junshan Village who is most likely to step into the condensing realm, and they have high hopes, but they did not expect to die, it is inevitable that he will feel a little regretful.
"No, Captain, I think I'm good enough for patrols on my own. Ye Qing refused.
Lin Hu frowned: "You, no, it's too dangerous!"
Ye Qing smiled: "Don't worry, captain, I'm now small enough to take on patrol work alone." ”
"What, you've already quenched your body?" Lin Hu said in surprise: "Didn't you just start quenching your body two days ago?
Ye Qing touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "Maybe, I'm a genius!"
"......" thought for a while, Lin Hu still hesitated: "However, it's still too dangerous." ”
He didn't ask Ye Qing why he became so young so quickly, everyone has their own secrets, and if they pursue too much, they will become enemies without injustice.
Ye Qing smiled: "Don't worry, captain, I'm careful, nothing will happen." In addition, our patrol team is now short of manpower, and if I go to another team, won't there be no one to do the square work, and if there is any omission, the villagers who go out to farm will be even more dangerous. ”
Lin Hu opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh silently, in recent times, strange things have emerged outside the village, and the patrol members have also suffered heavy injuries, it is indeed insufficient manpower, if Ye Qing is assigned to other teams, Fang Nianshui's patrol area and tasks will undoubtedly fall on the heads of others, increasing the burden and danger of others.
Therefore, Ye Qing's rhetoric just hit his weakness.
"Okay. In the end, Lin Hu could only nod in agreement.
"Thank you, Captain, for making it happen. Ye Qing arched his hand, he knew that Lin Hu would agree, firstly, the patrol team was really short of people now, and secondly, he showed the realm of quenching the body, and his strength was not high or low in the patrol, and he could just perform patrol tasks alone.
The reason why he did this was to prevent Chen Zheng from sending someone to trouble him again, and on the other hand, to prevent others from discovering his secret, just like Fang Nianshui, no matter how well he covered it up, he was still found by the other party with some clues, so it was safest to act alone.
As for whether his exposure of the realm of quenching body Xiaocheng will cause Chen Zheng's jealousy, Ye Qing is not worried, the realm of quenching body Xiaocheng is not outrageous, don't you see Lin Hu's reaction is very ordinary? Therefore, after Chen Zheng found out, at most he was a little vigilant, and he would not let the other party attack him desperately and cut the grass to the roots.
Because of this, he dared to show a trace of strength.
"I'll tell Granny Xia later, you can ask Granny Xia to get a few talismans tomorrow, if you encounter any danger while patrolling, don't be reckless, immediately send a signal and ask for support. Lin Hu instructed.
Ye Qing nodded: "I understand." ”
Granny Xia is one of the three major martial artists in the village, and she is also a rune seal, and all the runes and seals in the village are drawn by her, but because drawing and making runes requires a lot of materials and mental power, only those above the team leader are eligible to receive runes, and the amount is limited.
Lin Hu allowed Ye Qing to receive the talisman seal, indicating that Ye Qing's status was no different from that of an ordinary squad leader.
"If the captain is fine, I'll go back first. Ye Qing bowed his hand to Lin Hu, and then said goodbye and left.
......
Outside the village, a gloomy cold wind swept by, carrying a few wisps of gloom, and the wind children who were originally chasing the breeze and frolicking in the air immediately fled without a trace, and some strange monsters wandering in the wilderness also disappeared as if they felt some danger.
Only a peaceful field remains, silent as death.
"Rustle"
Suddenly, there was a rustle of the wind rubbing the leaves, and the sound of fingers rubbing the sand stones.
The next moment, a place on the ground drummed and shrank, and then a shriveled palm stretched out of the ground, slowly, the soil kept tumbling, behind the palm, was the arm, is the body, and after a while, a person like a corpse drilled out of the dirt.
If Ye Qing was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was Fang Nianshui who was killed by him.
It's just that at this time, "Fang Nianshui" didn't seem to have any senses, his face was numb and sluggish, and then a hole opened in the center of his eyebrows, and the mouth kept getting bigger, and the last complete human skin shed from the body of "Fang Nianshui".
After shedding, Fang Nianshui's human skin was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had received some instructions, he ran towards Xiaojun Mountain.
And in the field, I don't know when countless human skins appeared, densely packed, and they also ran in the direction of Xiaojun Mountain.
Like, a black cloud of death.
......
After returning home, Ye Qing fried a dish, ate steamed buns, padded his stomach, and began to practice again.
By the time he had completely refined the blood that had been devoured to Fang Nianshui in his body, it was already evening.
Stopping his cultivation, Ye Qing frowned: "It's time to think about condensing qi." ”
His current body is strong enough, his qi and blood are strong, and his foundation is extremely solid, and he continues to quench his body, although he can still continue to enhance his strength, but the improvement speed cannot be compared with before, it has become extremely slow and limited, and it requires a lot of resources and time, so the best way at present is to condense qi and enter the next realm.
Only when he entered the condensing realm did he have the confidence to wrestle with Chen Zheng and really soar into the sky.
