Outside of Time

There were no stars in the black sky, only wisps of dark clouds drifting over the bright moon.

it's very windy. But it does not affect the flow of moonlight.

The bright moonlight is like water pouring into the world.

Some of them fell in the scavenger's camp, in the yard of Xu Qing's residence, and draped themselves on the two figures in front of the door.

The seventh master, who was wearing a purple robe, stood there for a long time with his hands behind his back. Under the moonlight, his old face looked thoughtful, wondering what he was thinking.

The servants next to him did not want to be disturbed and waited silently.

As for the wild dogs around, it seemed that these two people did not exist in their eyes and could not be sensed, so they lay there without any abnormality.

The surroundings were quiet, except for the faint echoes of laughter and screams from the outer area of ​​the camp.

And the room fell into silence after those two sentences, with only the sound of breathing faintly coming out.

Time passed, and after a stick of incense, Master Qi, who was standing at the door, sighed softly. He did not open the door, but turned and walked outside.

"Give him a token." Master Qi walked to the courtyard gate and spoke in a low voice.

"What color is it?" the servant asked.

"The most ordinary one. Besides, you don't need to say much to him." Master Qi walked through the courtyard gate and gradually walked away.

The servant's eyes narrowed, and there were waves in his heart.

During the time he followed Master Qi in the camp, he saw with his own eyes that Master Qi paid attention to the child several times.

Later, Master Qi also went to say hello to Master Bai. All this made him know that this child's opportunity had come, so he asked last time whether to give him a token.

The token is the entry qualification for Seven Blood Pupils. Only those who have the token can take the assessment. If they succeed, they can enter the mountain gate.

The tokens are also divided into colors. Purple is the highest, which means that the entry level is a core disciple. Yellow is in the middle, which means that the entry level is an inner disciple. White is the most common, and the entry level is just an ordinary disciple.

According to the feeling of the servant, Master Qi would at least give a yellow sign, but now it is only white, and... he also reminded me that there is no need to say more.

Such an abnormal scene forced him to think, and his heart could not help but beat faster.

"There is only one answer. The seventh master values ​​this son very much. Not only does he want to join the sect, he also has the idea of... accepting a disciple? So you plan to investigate? The first three highnesses came in this way. Could it be that the second highness came in like this? Qifeng, is there a fourth direct descendant?”

The servant is very aware of the weight of the word "personal inheritance". It can be said that once he becomes the seventh master's personal inheritance, then this person will instantly be noticed by all forces in Nanhuang Continent.

But he also felt that the possibility of this matter was not very high, after all, Qi Ye had not had any disciples for a long time.

But no matter what, he needs to pay special attention to this child. Thinking of this, the servant took a deep breath, put away his mind, and slowly knocked on Xu Qing's door.

The moment the thumping sound entered the room, the sound of spitting in the room disappeared instantly.

The next moment, a smile appeared on the corner of the servant's mouth, and his body blurred and disappeared. When he appeared, he was at the back of the room!

There is actually a hole in the corner behind the room. It is very hidden and covered by bricks and stones. It seems to have been dug out for a while.

At this moment, Xu Qing's figure quickly emerged from inside, and he was about to take a detour to observe the person knocking on the door, but the next moment, as the servant appeared, his body suddenly stopped.

Xu Qing's eyes contracted, and her heart sank as she looked at the figure that suddenly appeared and seemed to squeeze into his eyes.

The figure in front of him is a middle-aged man, wearing a gray robe, with an extremely ordinary face. The most eye-catching thing is the center of his eyebrows. There is a pentagonal pattern there. This pattern is now emitting a faint light, and the surrounding moonlight is affected and appears. distortion.

An even stronger sense of oppression followed. Xu Qing's breathing quickened slightly. He held the iron stick harder with his right hand and grabbed a handful of poison powder with his left hand without leaving any trace.

The appearance of the other party was too strange, and the feeling it gave him was far beyond the little girl's brother he had seen a few days ago.

Especially the other party's gaze made all the flesh and blood in his body tremble at this moment, as if shouting to himself, telling him that the person in front of him was extremely dangerous!

This made Xu Qing's vigilance reach the extreme, and the trembling flesh and blood was not only a signal of danger, but also informed him that his body was ready for all subsequent actions.

Xu Qing had simulated the dangers he would encounter in his residence several times in his mind, and being able to stop the wild dogs from barking without him being aware of them was the most dangerous situation in his simulations.

At this moment, Xu Qing's eyes narrowed and his body tried to retreat slowly.

"I mean no harm." Looking at the child in front of him who had transformed into a wolf cub and could become violent at any time, the servant smiled.

Looking at the hole in the wall behind Xu Qing, he could think that this was the escape route prepared by the child to prevent danger in the residence.

"To be able to prepare in this way early, and not to panic when encountering a sudden change, but to wait for an opportunity to resist, it is no wonder that Master Qi attaches great importance to my son."

The servant's mind flashed to the scene of Xu Qing cutting off Ma Si's neck and killing Fat Shan. With admiration in his eyes, he raised his hand and took out a white token and threw it towards Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't catch it, and jumped up in an instant. While his body suddenly fell back, he threw out a handful of poison powder, and there were two daggers with cold light inside the poison powder, whizzing towards the servant.

But in the next moment, Xu Qing's eyes widened suddenly. He saw his dagger penetrated the body of the gray cannon man and was nailed to the wall behind him, but the other party seemed to have no entity and did not change at all.

The same was true for the poisonous powder, which penetrated from his body and scattered all over the ground.

This scene made Xu Qing's nerves tense instantly. He took a breath and was about to retreat.

At this moment, the man in gray robe smiled, and his figure slowly disappeared in Xu Qing's eyes.

First his legs, then his body, until his head was about to disappear, his voice echoed.

"Kid, someone asked me to give you this token. It is the entry qualification for Seven Blood Pupils. On the map on the back, if you go to any branch city with the token, you can be teleported to the mountain gate once for free."

After the words came out, the servant's figure disappeared completely, as if he had never appeared. Looking at all this, Xu Qing stood there in silence for a long time.

He felt the other party's strangeness, and also felt the helplessness of the weak one.

After a while, Xu Qing walked over silently, pulled out his dagger, and looked down at the token on the ground.

The white token, facing up, is engraved with complex patterns and seems to be reflecting under the moonlight, full of a sense of simplicity.

Xu Qing pondered, carefully picked it up with gloves and inspected it.

On the back of the token is a map with hundreds of bumpy dots on it, marking one city after another.

"Seven blood pupils..." Xu Qing muttered.

He had heard about Seven Blood Pupils from Captain Lei, and also knew that this was one of the several huge and ruthless forces in Nanhuang Continent, and countless people wanted to join its sect every year.

However, the entrance to the Seven Blood Pupils is very strict. You can't just go there casually. You need an entry token, but the issuance of this token is extremely rare.

Xu Qing didn't know why he received it, he didn't know the cannon man, and he didn't know whether the token was authentic or fake.

But after pondering, he felt that with the opponent's terrifying strength, there was no need to play tricks on him, so there was a high probability that the token was real.

"Why give it to me?" Xu Qing couldn't understand, but he noticed what the other party called him.

The word "child" has many meanings, including both broad and specific meanings.

In this scavenger camp, the name "child" belongs exclusively to Xu Qing.

Being able to call out his name in the scavenger camp shows that the other party knows him well.

And the other party mentioned in his words that someone asked him to give the token, which shows that the gray cannon man has a companion, and this companion's status is much higher.

"Is it Master Bai?" Xu Qing lowered his head, checked the token, and put it away hesitantly after a while.

It was now dark and bright, Xu Qing repacked the bricks on the wall behind the house, and after restoring them to their original shape, he fed the wild dogs in the yard.

Although these guys are very useless, after raising them for a long time, feeding them has become a habit.

Seeing the dozen wild dogs scrambling for food, Xu Qing was about to go out to class, but after walking a few steps, he paused and sat silently in the yard.

"It's also a habit..." Xu Qing murmured and sat there until daybreak. He stood up, walked out of the yard, and walked in the camp.

The camp, which was obviously very familiar, felt strange at this moment. Cross and Luan Ya had not been back for a long time. As Xu Qing walked, he suddenly missed his pharmacy in the canyon.

Although it was a restricted area and full of dangers, the feeling of longing for her was still very strong.

At the same time, Xu Qing was also going to try to prepare Bai Dan, so he took a deep breath and left the camp for the restricted area. But before he walked out of the camp, someone shouted from behind.

"Kid, kid."

The voice sounded familiar. Xu Qing turned around and saw an old man with white hair and a fur coat running towards him.

This man is an old scavenger in the camp.

No one knows his specific name. Everyone calls him Lao Shitou. He was also one of the five or six people Xu Qing rescued when he came back with the Thunder Team on his back.

Later, like Bone Knife, he often came to Xu Qing to buy insurance.

"Hey, kid, I've got a big job!" Old Shitou said excitedly.

As he spoke quickly, Xu Qing understood.

The old stone in front of me has used some method during this period to successfully get the young men and women outside the camp who arrived a few days ago to hire him as a guide to the temple complex in the restricted jungle.

This time I came to see myself to buy insurance.

"Old rules, five white pills. If I don't come back in a week, please come to the temple complex and save me, kid." Old Shitou said with a smile.

"A week?" Xu Qing was a little surprised.

"Yes, these people who have been pampered in Purple Earth have to stay there for a week, but the reward is very generous, so I am an old man and I have to work hard. After this time, I plan to retire."

Old Shitou sighed. As an old scavenger, he knew that staying in the restricted area for a week would not only increase the risk exponentially, but the same would be true here. However, the reward was too much, enough for him to buy a stay in a nearby city. Qualification, so he wanted to fight once and prepared enough white pills.

Xu Qing frowned slightly. He was not prepared to continue taking on this kind of thing, especially since he needed time to study Bai Dan.

So he was about to refuse, but seeing Lao Shitou's white hair and expectant expression, Xu Qing couldn't help but think of Captain Lei. After silence, he nodded.

"this is the last time."

After saying that, he accepted the white pill with Old Shitou's gratitude, walked out of the camp, and went straight to the restricted area.

At this moment, fog is appearing in the restricted area, covering an area and spreading to all directions...

Outside the scope of the fog, near the Poison Dragon Pond in the restricted area, there was a scavenger hiding in a gap in a tree with a look of horror on his face, his body trembling.

Around him, there were four figures with cold eyes searching.

"It's foggy!! As long as I hold on, the kid will come to save me!" The person hiding was the bone knife who had bought insurance from Xu Qing many times!

...

"It's foggy."

The moment he entered the restricted jungle, Xu Qing paused.

He felt that his shadow had some distortions. He had encountered this before. It was a sign of fog in the restricted area.

Even if you look carefully, you can see a very thin mist in the forest.

Xu Qing hesitated, but after thinking about it, he still chose to go into the jungle.

On the one hand, he needed to go to the canyon pharmacy, and on the other hand, although the help of the shadow could not last too long, it was enough for him to go to the canyon.

And when the fog appears, it seems dangerous, but in fact it is also the case for the alien beasts, so to a certain extent, it is safer than before.

But the premise is that you will not get lost in it, and the alien will not increase.

So Xu Qing speeded up and shuttled quickly in this jungle.

An hour later, when the fog was getting thicker, Xu Qing paused and came to the mud where the night lizard skin was.

He stood on the big tree next to him and looked to the north.

"That's the area of ​​the Poison Dragon Pond..." In the restricted jungle, due to different landforms, the scavengers divided it into several points, and the Poison Dragon Pond was one of them.

Xu Qing had heard about this Poison Dragon Pond many times, mostly from Gu Dao, because every time the other party bought insurance, the designated rescue area was the Poison Dragon Pond.

Xu Qing thought about it. Gu Dao bought insurance too many times. He remembered that the other party seemed to have bought it once two days ago.

Although the time has not come yet, since the fog has risen and he is nearby, he might as well go over and take a look.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing shook his body, jumped from the tree canopy, and approached the direction of the Poison Dragon Pond.

As he approached, Xu Qing slowly narrowed his eyes, his expression showed a sense of vigilance, and his movements became more and more hidden.

He saw a person.

The other party was wearing a black leather coat, a ferocious mask on his face, holding a long sword with a cold glow in his hand, searching.

He was emitting a great spiritual energy fluctuation, which gave Xu Qing the feeling that he had reached the level of Fire Crow of the Blood Shadow Team.

Xu Qing looked for a moment and nimbly avoided him, but soon he saw a second person dressed in the same way, with a similar cultivation level, which made Xu Qing a little confused.

"Not a scavenger." After Xu Qing pondered, he became more cautious. After circling around the poisonous dragon pond, he saw the bone knife!
