The restricted area formed by this corner of the eastern part of Nanhuangzhou is not very large.
And the ruins where Xu Qing and his party left were on the edge of the restricted area.
This is also the reason why the scavengers can rush to the city on the first day when the sun comes.
So when it was getting late, they were about to walk out of the restricted area.
Although I also encountered some alienated beasts on the road, they were quickly resolved by these scavengers.
Under Xu Qing’s observation, she had a judgment in her heart.
He felt that if he made a move, among the six scavengers, except for the old man known as the Thunder Team, everyone else could fight against them.
“They are not monks, but their ruthlessness and timing, as well as their attitude of not caring about death at that critical moment, make them more lethal.”
Xu Qing analyzed from the bottom of his heart, he thought that apart from Lei Team, everyone else alone could fight by himself.
If there are two, it is not impossible for me, but if there are three together, I am afraid that I will not be able to.
With this judgment, Xu Qing became more cautious.
At the same time, he was keenly aware that as they got closer and closer to the outside world, the expressions of those scavengers became much more relaxed.
They even joked and laughed with each other on the road.
Only the old man called Thunder Team didn’t say anything along the way.
Others were also in awe of him, which made Xu Qing curious about the identity of the old man.
However, this curiosity did not reduce his vigilance. Even though he was about to leave the restricted area now, Xu Qing’s vigilance was still the same. When following these scavengers, he did not get close enough.
Instead, they were not far behind, listening to their conversations while accompanying them cautiously.
Until the sky was about to completely fall, with a warm feeling coming towards his face, Xu Qing paused, looked back at the wasteland behind him, and then looked at the world ahead.
Between heaven and earth, there seems to be an invisible boundary where he is.
Within the boundaries, it is a forbidden area of early formation, which is cold and cold.
Beyond the boundaries, is the normal world, the earth rejuvenates.
They walked out of the restricted area.
Although it is dark outside, the starry sky is bright and you can see the bright moon hanging high.
Although the earth is also desolate, it is far from the gloomy and coldness of the forbidden area, and sometimes some normal sounds of birds and beasts can be heard.
In the grass in the distance, Xu Qing even saw a rabbit, watching them vigilantly.
All this made Xu Qing look a little dazed.
Those scavengers also looked completely relaxed, and even Thunder Team eased their brows.
“I finally came out. This time it went smoothly. Whenever possible, I don’t want to take another half step in the restricted area.”
“Don’t go to the restricted area? If you want to survive in this ghost world, if you want to live better, you must go to the restricted area and work hard. Sooner or later, I will buy a residence right in the city of Seven Blood Eyes!”
Outside the restricted area, these scavengers were obviously in a soothing mood, and they spoke to each other.
Xu Qing was silent, but he listened carefully. He listened to the conversations of these people along the way, and had already learned a lot of information that he had not been able to access before.
For example, the Seven Blood Eyes, he has heard these scavengers mention it many times, and it seems that it is a very powerful force.
There is also the name Zitu, which has also been mentioned several times by them.
“Do you have this ambition? Seven Blood Eyes is divided into many cities, and the Antler City next to it is one of them, but the qualifications there are not just enough to buy if you have enough Spirit Coins. You also need the recommendation of Seven Blood Eyes disciples. What is the right of residence, my goal is to obtain the entry qualification of Qixuetong and become a disciple of Qixuetong!”
“You went to Qixuetong, and you won’t survive for three days. Who can’t blow it? Why don’t you say that your goal is to go overseas to look at the ancient continent, where there is still the origin of the human race.”
When Xu Qing heard this, his heart moved. He had seen the name Wanggu on a bamboo slip.
“Wanggu? If Laozi has the ability to ignore those taboos in the sea, do you think I won’t go?”
The two of the scavengers seemed to have some verbal conflict with each other, and they fought each other.
Xu Qing pricked up his ears, and was about to continue listening to their conversation to get information. The old man of the Thunder Team on the side glanced at the two, and spoke for the first time along the way.
“It’s not impossible to visit the ancient continent. There are four methods. You can think about which one is suitable for you.”
“One, build a foundation within the age of fifteen and become a rare talent. Two, pay 300,000 Jun spirit coins and buy migration places from Zitu, Qixuetong, or Litujiao.”
“Third, he has made outstanding contributions to the human race in alchemy. Fourth, he has been accepted as a direct disciple by several major families of Zitu, several peak masters of Qixuetong, or the leader of Lituo Sect.”
“Oh, there is a fifth method, to become a treasurer. Think about it, which one is suitable?”
The scavengers fell silent one after another, especially when they heard the fifth method, they all looked unnatural and showed fear in their eyes.
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed too. He had heard the name of the treasurer.
When he was in the slum, he once had a few familiar companions who were taken away by some luxuriously dressed people.
It is said that the purpose of training is to become a treasurer. At that time, other children in the slum were still envious.
So he hesitated for a while, looked at the old man of Thunder Team, and asked softly.
“Excuse me… what is a treasurer?”
The old man of Lei Team’s eyes fell on Xu Qing, and he spoke calmly.
“Use one’s own body to nurture magical treasures, practice special exercises, rely on flesh and blood to dilute the heterogeneous pollution of magical treasures, so that the increase in the heterogeneity caused by each use of magical treasures is alleviated so that it can be used continuously, while oneself gradually withered. dead man.”
Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed, unable to speak for a long time, she fell silent.
Everyone seems to have lost their interest in talking because of the three words, treasure keeper, and walked silently in the dark night.
Until they left the restricted area some distance, on a plain, the Thunder Team chose to camp.
Different from the restricted area, in addition to the tent itself, the outside camp also has a lit bonfire.
With the burning of the flames, the warmth around them became stronger. These scavengers also sat around the bonfire and took out their food to bake, which gradually filled the aroma.
Looking at their food, Xu Qing swallowed, sat in the distance, took out half of the hard jerky from the leather bag, and bit it hard in his mouth.
Team Lei, who was beside the bonfire, swept his gaze, got up and walked over to Xu Qing.
As Xu Qing suddenly raised his head, Lei Dui threw a leather bag with a few hot steamed buns in it.
The moment he saw the steamed bun, Xu Qing’s eyes straightened, resisting the urge and speaking in a low voice.
“thanks.”
Lei Dui did not speak, and returned to the bonfire, surrounded by scavengers laughing and speaking.
“Lei Team, why are you being so nice to this kid?”
“They’re all poor people, and it’s fate to meet them. If you can help, help.”
There are three steamed buns, which are very hot in hand.
Xu Qing hesitated for a while and saw that everyone by the fire was eating the same steamed buns, so he pretended to take a bite and observed the scavengers. After a long while and found that they were still as usual, he endured for a long time before he really took a small bite. , waited for a moment in his mouth.
After confirming that it was fine, I slowly chewed until it was broken and swallowed slowly.
After waiting for a long time, after confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He couldn’t bear it any longer, and ate the whole thing in a big mouthful.
Then he hesitated for a while, and then ate the second one in small bites.
Although he was still hungry, he still wrapped the last steamed bun and carefully placed it in his leather bag, like a treasure.
Soon it was getting late, and the scavengers also returned to the tent one after another. Like yesterday, the Thunder team handed him the sleeping bag and said a word before leaving.
“Send it to you.”
Xu Qing raised her head, looked at Team Lei, and suddenly spoke.
“why?”
“Why why? Three steamed buns, a sleeping bag… There is no reason. If you are willing, you can also get me something to eat in the future.” Lei Dui turned around and walked towards the tent.
“What do you like to eat?”
“Me?” Lei Dui thought while standing beside the tent.
“Snake, that thing tastes good.” After speaking, he walked into the tent.
Xu Qing held the sleeping bag and looked at Lei Team’s tent for a long time, nodded heavily, got into the sleeping bag and closed his eyes.
But instead of falling asleep immediately, he silently ran the Sea Mountain Technique with his eyes closed, which had become his habit.
Even though it was extremely cold when he practiced, he did not give up at all, and seized all the time to practice hard.
Especially today, what Thunder Team said about building a foundation before the age of fifteen, although he didn’t compare it with the kind of genius in his words, he still had some ideas in his heart.
“I’m fourteen this year…” Xu Qing murmured, continuing to practice.
Just like that, time passed slowly, and soon five days passed.
Xu Qing followed these scavengers, over the mountains and across the grasslands.
There were three people who left halfway along the way, which also confirmed Xu Qing’s previous judgment that they were temporarily grouped together.
On the seventh day, after the two scavengers with knives also left, only Xu Qing and Lei Dui were left.
That night, at the foot of a mountain, beside the bonfire, the old man of Lei Team watched as he finished eating the steamed buns, and then slowly opened his mouth to Xu Qing, which he had carefully put away.
“Child, at noon tomorrow, we can reach our destination. That’s where I live. It’s a camp where scavengers gather.”
Xu Qing raised her head and looked at the old man~www.mtlnovel.com~ The old man looked into the distance and continued to speak.
“The scavengers’ camps are often built beside the restricted area, so the camp on the other side of the mountain is also a restricted area.”
“Compared to the Chucheng forbidden area where you were before, it has existed for a long time. Not only are there beasts, but also dangerous places, and the heterogeneity is extremely dense. If ordinary people go in for a day and don’t come out, they will surely die, even if it is me, in It can last up to seven days inside.”
“But there is a lot of horse chestnut, which is a must for refining Baidan.”
“Bai Dan is the basic pill that monks use to resolve their own heterogeneity, so many outsiders come here on weekdays. They cherish their lives, and they are not familiar with geography. pick.”
When the old man said this, he looked at Xu Qing.
“Do you understand what I mean?”
“You mean, the local scavengers in the camp are all outlaws. For money, they can do anything.”
After Xu Qing heard about Bai Dan and its effects, she narrowed her eyes and said softly after thinking.
The old man of Thunder Team smiled with surprise in his eyes.
“Part of your answer is correct. What I want to tell you is that in the scavenger’s camp, the rule is that the weak eat the strong, and strength comes first.”
“But at least it is also a place to live, and there is a market, a place to buy and sell necessities of life, and even a caravan from time to time, so each of the houses in it has a lot of value.”
“That’s why it’s not just anyone who wants to enter. Every freshman who wants to get the right to stay has to go through a beast training. This is the rule set by the camp owner.”
“And you, if you pass it successfully, I can allow you to live with me for a fee.” The old man looked at Xu Qing and spoke slowly.
