Outside of Time

Inside the Phoenix Forbidden City, where three trees formed an angle, the three candles had long been burned out, leaving only a piece of wax soaked in the trees, which had dried up into a thick layer.

Xu Qing stood within the three trees, looking up at the place where the ghost town disappeared.

At the same time, the mana was integrated into the storage bag, and it was found that the purchased items were still there.

"The items in the ghost shop cannot be taken out during the day and can only be used at night."

Xu Qing murmured in his heart that this was a record of the information he had obtained. At this moment, he recalled the previous scene in the ghost workshop, and many speculations arose in his heart.

"That monk's head, said Golden Crow?"

"Could it be a foreign race that was once refined by the Golden Crow?" Xu Qing thought for a while and left the land of three trees. After looking around, he ran straight into the distance.

As for the ghost workshop, he felt that it was probably as he judged. As for the specifics... he could naturally explore it when he had the ability.

So Xu Qing stopped thinking about this matter and speeded up in the jungle in a blink of an eye.

His mission when he came to Huangjin this time was not only the ghost shop, but also some poisonous beasts and grassy areas that he needed to pick.

"If everything goes well, this time I will be able to make the little black bug break through its shackles and start to grow again. This will not affect my plan to refine the Poison Forbidden Pill again."

Xu Qing went faster and faster, comparing directions from time to time to find the poisonous weeds he needed.

Just like that, the day passed.

The level of danger during the day is much lower than at night.

Xu Qing's range was also controlled in the outer area, coupled with his current cultivation and combat power, so although he encountered some ferocious beasts, he successfully dealt with them.

He also found part of the medicinal herbs, but it was not completely without danger. Xu Qing saw a red grassland from a distance at dusk, and he felt full of danger there.

He just glanced at it, and the red grass squirmed strangely, and eyes grew on it. They opened their eyes one after another and stared at Xu Qing.

A malice emanated from those eyes.

Xu Qing's body trembled, and he felt itchy all over his skin. As he quickly retreated, the life fire in his body burned, and the life lamp dispersed, thus blocking this malicious intent.

After staying away from this place, he lowered his head to check his whole body. On his arm, Xu Qing saw that half an eye had grown out of nowhere.

The reason why it is said to be half is because the eyes have not yet fully grown and cannot be opened.

But the eyelids and eyelashes are very clear, and they look exactly like the eyes in the land of red grass.

And these eyes are extremely weird, no matter whether they burn Xu Qingsha fire or dig them out, they can't get rid of them. The shadow can only float out of the body for a short time, but as the shadow moves away, it will grow back.

And it was obvious that as time passed, the eyes were still growing, and it seemed to Xu Qing that it would be able to open in a few days at most.

Xu Qing didn't want to know what the result of opening it would be, so he manipulated the shadow to let it briefly separate for a moment, then launched the Golden Crow Refining Ten Thousand Spirits method, and finally refined and dissipated the half-grown eye.

"This Phoenix Forbidden City is very dangerous."

Xu Qing looked at his arm, inspected it carefully, and finally removed more than thirty eyes from his body.

These more than thirty eyes are far from being completed, and most of them are just like seeds. What makes Xu Qing frightened is that they do not grow on the surface of the body, but in the internal organs of the body.

It is conceivable that if you check it late or neglect it, once they have time to grow, you will be miserable when you open it.

Xu Qing took a deep breath. As dusk passed and night fell, he became more cautious. He chose a tree hole and got into it.

"The poisonous weeds are almost there, next are some poisonous beasts..."

He didn't plan to travel tonight, and planned to wait until dawn before leaving, because the activity time for his next target was mainly during the day.

And he was also planning to stay here tonight to try to integrate the evil poison into the little black insect, so while silently waiting for the next hour to arrive, Xu Qing began to arrange formations and poison powder outside the tree hole.

After making sure he was stable, he closed his eyes and meditated.

As darkness fell, the tree cave fell silent, and strange screams would occasionally come from the outside world. Xu Qing listened, as if he had returned to the time he was in the ruined city.

"I don't know when I will be strong enough to...ignore the forbidden areas." Xu Qing murmured in his heart.

Time passed, and soon midnight came. As the cold air continued to spread around him, white air came out of Xu Qing's mouth when he breathed. This made the coldness he had not felt for a long time reappear.

Xu Qing is afraid of the cold, but since he established the foundation, as his cultivation and combat power have increased, he rarely feels cold anymore.

But today...he felt it again.

"Something's wrong." Xu Qing's eyes flashed. At this time last night, although he also felt the temperature in the restricted area drop, it was far less than it is now.

Xu Qing's mind moved, and the life fire in his body was instantly ignited. After entering the Xuan Yao state, he rushed out of the tree hole and looked around. The next moment, Xu Qing's face darkened.

He saw the jungle in the distance, and a large amount of fog suddenly appeared at this moment. The fog enveloped all directions, and the ghost town of yesterday came again silently.

But this time, Xu Qing did not play the ghost flute. He also checked around and found no one summoning him. This made Xu Qing not hesitate at all and he galloped towards the distance at full speed.

And behind him, in the ghost town that descended in mid-air, the monk's head, which was turned into chains by countless arms, slowly turned, looking at the direction of Xu Qing's escape, and his voice was like thunder, echoing again.

"If Jinwu refines our clan, Jinwu will die!"

As he spoke, the head suddenly jumped outwards and flew high. The iron chains on the arms were also stretched extremely long, but they could not stop it.

After jumping up, the head was extremely powerful. When it suddenly fell, it hit the jungle outside the ghost town. When a large number of trees collapsed, the head rushed forward suddenly, rolling forward like a ball. Chase after Xu Qing!

It rolled very quickly, and a large number of trees collapsed in its path. The arm chains behind it were also stretched and twisted, and even the ghost town roared, as if it was about to be shaken.

All this made Xu Qing's eyes shrink. Crisis arose in his mind. All the life lamps and fires in his body were unfolded, and the golden crow was transformed and blessed behind him. In exchange for the ultimate speed, he fled towards the distance like lightning.

But the huge mountain-like head behind him was still rolling in pursuit.

At the same time, there was a sharp sound coming from the ghost city, and countless ghost hands stretched out from inside, chasing the head.

Looking from a distance, Xu Qing is in front, chasing his head, and the chain is connecting it to limit its speed. At the same time, those ghost hands stretch out of the ghost city and are also chasing it.

"Golden Crow..." During the pursuit, the head was still a little confused and roared violently.

"Everything needs to be..."

"die!!!"

The last two words, it jumped into the air again, shouting as it smashed towards Xu Qing in the distance, but the chain on its body had reached its extreme at this moment, causing the head to fall in mid-air at a sudden speed.

Seeing that the ghost hands behind him were about to arrive, the head smiled strangely, and its body exploded on its own, turning into countless small heads that fell to the ground and chased after Xu Qing while bouncing.

Those small heads were no longer restricted by chains, and their speed was even more astonishing. In an instant, a dozen of them were rolling and jumping towards Xu Qing, opening their big mouths and about to bite.

Xu Qing's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he turned around suddenly and the golden crow transformed behind him, swallowing it suddenly, and even black iron sticks flew out and headed straight for the heads.

In an instant, the Golden Crow neighed and sucked hard, and the black iron sign came quickly. The roaring sound echoed, and the small heads collapsed and turned into fly ash.

But not a bit of material was sucked out.

It was as if this head was just an illusion and did not exist.

The scattered fly ash regrouped and took shape again, unscathed, especially when a head appeared next to Xu Qing's feet and bit his calf directly.

The life fire in Xu Qing's body suddenly spread, and the surrounding heads rolled back, still unscathed, and they were chewing at the same time, making vague sounds.

“Delicious, delicious, delicious”

"Weak, weak, weak, weak!"

Xu Qing's face was gloomy. He knew that it was not that the Golden Crow was weak, but that he wanted to show the ultimate power of the Golden Crow, which was not something he could do with his current cultivation level.

He looked down at his calf, where a piece of flesh had been bitten off by the other party.

In the past, he had sucked other people off, but this was the first time he had been bitten.

At this moment, the little head shook, licked his tongue, and showed a weird smile. He was about to rush over, but was grabbed by an approaching ghost hand and dragged directly back to the ghost town.

But some of the other heads avoided the ghost hand and bit Xu Qing again.

Xu Qing's face looked ugly. He found that the power of the Life Fire was also ineffective against him. Seeing another head smashing ferociously at him, a cold light appeared in Xu Qing's eyes.

The shadow sensed Xu Qing's thoughts and instantly rushed over, absorbing the strangeness in the head. Not to be outdone, the ancestor of the Vajra Sect quickly penetrated through again.

And that head was also ferocious. It didn't even dodge, biting the shadow and the ancestor of the Vajra Sect.

During the bite, the head collapsed and countless bugs flew out of the eyes.

These are Xu Qing's little black bugs. They were released by Xu Qing when he was escaping. Now they are attacking with the shadow.

But it still doesn't work.

If one is destroyed, it will still be formed, and there will be more all around, boundless and coming from all directions.

Xu Qing looked ugly, knowing that it was useless to entangle with him, so he turned around and accelerated his cultivation, speeding away.

Just like that, the night passed.

Xu Qing was running wildly that night. If he was caught up, he would fight quickly, and then continue to escape, not giving the heads a chance to surround him. At the same time, the ghost hands kept chasing after him, grabbing one head after another and driving away.

Until light appeared on the horizon, Xu Qing exploded with all his strength, and after shattering a head, the chasing heads finally disappeared.

All were caught by ghost hands and disappeared as the sunlight fell.

Only Xu Qing was sitting there, with a ferocious look in his eyes, staring at the location where the ghost town appeared last night.

His clothes were in tatters, and although the flesh and blood on his body had grown again, the tooth marks dissipated slowly.

"What kind of thing is this? It's useless if it's broken into pieces, and it can reappear. Only the ghost hands stretching out from the ghost city can restrain them."

"It feels to me like those ghostly hands are like jailers, and the monk's head is more like a murderer. It escaped from prison because of me..."

"Especially..." Xu Qing glanced at the tooth marks on his body, with more evil intent in his eyes.

"We have to find a way to kill it!" Xu Qing's eyes were filled with coldness. The ancestor of the Vajra Sect on the side noticed this scene and snorted coldly in his heart.

"It's okay to bite me. If you dare to bite Demon Xu, that head will be destroyed!"
