at this moment.
In his perception, no matter how he used the power of Qi and blood to attack the Essence, Vitality, and Spirit Treasury position, there was no reaction at all.
Normally this shouldn't be the case.
The development of Essence, Vitality, and Spirit Treasury requires the guidance of Qi and blood and the visualization diagram of Inherited Secret Martial Arts.
Only then can it be opened up.
But Secret Martial Artist as Qi and Blood Realm Perfection.
You can feel the door belonging to Essence, Vitality, and Spirit Treasury.
But now, in his blood perception, this Essence, Vitality, and Spirit Treasury gate does not exist at all.
There isn't even a door, how can it be opened?
"Did I break through too quickly and my body didn't adapt? Or is it because of the physical characteristics of this world?"
Hu Qi thought for a while and could only suppress this idea temporarily.
Qi and Blood Perfection's strength at least gives him some power to protect himself in this world.
There is no need to use that Tattered Black Banner for everything.
And the strength is too weak, and Black Banner can easily be backfired and cause serious damage.
Although Modification Points can be used to restore it, it is himself who is injured and hurts, and Hu Qi naturally does not have this habit of self-abuse.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is prepared to let this clone take the path of an evolver in this world.
Whether Essence, Vitality, and Spirit Treasury can be successfully developed is not a big problem for him.
The practice of Qi and blood is just to give yourself some strength first so that you can deal with what happens next.
He glanced at the sky outside.
At this moment, the sky was getting dark, and the noisy sound of rain had faded away at some point.
Only wisps of rain are still falling outside the cave.
See this.
Hu Qi slowly put away Stance Cultivation's stance.
Lu Shan looking to one side.
He spoke.
"It's getting late, let's go!"
After saying this, he walked aside in a few steps, reached out and easily picked up the wolf corpse, and threw it onto his shoulder.
The wolf corpse weighing more than three hundred kilograms was like a small object weighing several kilograms in his hands. His movements were smooth and smooth, without any difficulty.
The strength of Qi and Blood Perfection, plus the strength bonus of Spirit Ape Stance and the strength of the human body in this world.
Let him have nearly twice the power of the normal Qi-Blood Mirror Perfection Secret Martial Artist.
That is a terrifying force of 20,000 kilograms.
Lu Shan on the side looked slightly startled when he saw this.
But considering the other party's identity as an evolver, it's not enough.
Evolutionaries possess powers that far exceed those of ordinary people. They are all monster-like existences that cannot be treated with common sense.
She had seen the leader of the evolvers with her own eyes in the gathering place.
Raising his hand and slapping him, a survivor who offended him was sent flying more than ten meters and died on the spot.
The scene was extremely bloody.
Shaking her head, she took her thoughts back.
"Just leave it here and I'll come..."
She wanted to say she would carry it, but was rejected by Hu Qi.
"Let's go, hurry up."
Hu Qi said.
after.
Under the greeting of Hu Qi.
The two quickly headed towards Rotten Leaf Settlement.
This time, because there was no wolf corpse as a burden, Lu Shan's pace was obviously much faster.
Hu Qi, on the other hand, followed the opponent leisurely.
Looks relaxed.
The two of them were silent all the way.
On the way, they encountered two waves of wild beasts, but they were discovered by Hu Qi in advance and avoided them.
Twenty minutes later.
The two arrived outside Rotten Leaf Settlement without any danger.
Look around.
Rotten Leaf Settlement, located in a canyon.
On both sides of the canyon, the cliffs are like the ruins of giants, and the jagged rocks are like a natural barrier.
And at the entrance.
They are two doors made of scrap steel plates and twisted steel beams. They are covered with mottled rust and dents of varying depths.
It was like being hit by some unknown and terrifying creature.
On one side of the gate, an observation tower built from scrapped cars and thick metal poles stands.
At this moment, there are two guards with firearms guarding the top.
The wall on one side is made of various debris, including broken bricks, discarded pipes, and even half of an airplane wing, with sharp metal rods inserted randomly in the gaps.
At the gate, there was an opening that allowed two people to pass through.
At this moment, several figures were queuing up and entering through the gap in the door.
Obviously these are scavengers like Lu Shan.
These people all carry something more or less in their hands.
Some are dead beasts, while others are some vegetation and wild fruits.
But no matter what it is, half of it will be deducted when passing through the gate.
This is the rule of Rotten Leaf Settlement.
The food obtained must be supplied to the leader of Rotten Leaf Settlement.
As for those who did not comply, they were now hung on a rope to dry in the sun, turning into mummies.
"It's a waste of my time! Get out of here!"
Wait until the two of them are just approaching.
Then I heard a voice coming from the front.
Looking along the sound, I saw it at the gate.
A sturdy man wearing dark green camouflage uniforms with a black mole at the corner of his mouth.
He held a gun in his hand and kicked a sallow-faced man in front of him with disgust on his face.
This kick is quite powerful.
The man was kicked to the ground instantly and rolled twice on the ground.
Seeing this, the burly man spat viciously on the ground again.
Facing this scene, the sallow-faced middle-aged man not only did not feel angry at all, but quickly got up from the ground, with a flattering smile on his face, nodded and bowed.
"Yes... yes, I'll leave right away. Sir, please calm down!"
The people around me saw all this, as if they had been used to it for a long time, and their expressions were numb. They just glanced at it mechanically, and then looked away.
And Hu Qi's eyes paused for a moment on the gun in the opponent's hand.
I saw that this gun was a crude thing modified from a steel pipe.
However, it is simple and simple, and its lethality is not much different.
Ordinary people are hit in vital parts, whether they deserve death or not.
It seems that he noticed Hu Qi's gaze.
Lu Shan on one side explained.
"This person's name is Liu Guang. He is the second-in-command at our gathering place. Although he is not an evolver, he is highly regarded by the leader."
Hu Qi just nodded and said nothing.
He casually handed the wolf corpse to Lu Shan and walked behind him.
Seems very low-key.
Soon, it was Hu Qi's turn to queue up.
Looking at Long-eared Wolf's body carried on Lu Shan's back.
Suddenly, it attracted greedy gazes from all around.
The leader Liu Guang's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.
After a few steps, he came to Lu Shan and stretched out his hand to touch the soft fur of Long-eared Wolf.
The strange thing is that it is still raining in the sky at this moment, and the two of them were walking back in the rain, and their bodies were almost soaked by the rain.
But the wolf fur without any protection was extremely dry, as if it had its own water filter.
"Yes, yes, it turns out to be an adult Long-eared Wolf with almost complete hair!"
Liu Guang nodded.
His eyes fell on Long-eared Wolf's neck, and he couldn't help but pause slightly.
"It's such a good trick, it kills him with one blow."
He sounded slightly surprised.
I saw, there, a lacerated wound that almost penetrated the neck.
Although Long-eared Wolf is just the most common wild beast, its strength and speed are far superior to ordinary gray wolves.
be able to do this.
Even if a trap is set in advance, the person who takes action must be strong.
Not to mention looking at him like this, he was going to attack and kill him directly.
The meaning is somewhat different.
"The successful hunt this time was also due to the help of this friend."
Lu Shan's eyes moved and he opened his mouth to explain.
The reason why this Long-eared Wolf is like this.
It was because Hu Qi asked her to cut it open with a knife in advance.
The purpose is to create the illusion of being killed by an external force.
Hu Qi has not forgotten what happened before.
The body of the woman killed by Black Banner was still at the scene.
This way of death was too strange and there were no injuries.
If anyone notices it, it will be troublesome.
This Xizhong Si person's position in this world is not simple.
There is even a connection with a certain Apostle-level.
Before your strength improves, you still need to be careful.
Hear the words.
Liu Guang glanced at Hu Qi behind him.
I saw this was a young man in his twenties, about 1.8 meters tall, with an ordinary face.
The complexion is dark, the skin is rough, and the clothes are shabby.
However, his figure was not skinny, but rather he looked strong and strong.
"That's it!"
The guarding man looked stunned.
Later, Lu Shan briefly talked about Hu Qi's idea of joining Rotten Leaf Settlement.
As for the life experience of Hu Qi, it is said that it comes from Black Stone Settlement.
Black Stone Settlement is not far from Rotten Leaf Settlement. The two are adjacent, about thirty kilometers away.
However, it was destroyed by a powerful wild beast a week ago.
"You're lucky kid to have lived alone in the wilderness for so many days."
Liu Guang was not surprised at all.
The reason why they know so clearly is because their lord took people to the Black Stone territory a few days ago and brought back some supplies.
Foreign survivors like Hu Qi, who have sound limbs and are in their prime of life, would not be welcomed in any gathering place.
After all, where there is a population, there will be a labor force.
The truth is this.
But when Liu Guang's eyes fell on the other Long-eared Wolf.
The corners of his mouth slowly curved into a meaningful smile.
"It's no problem to join, but Long-eared Wolf still gets half of the points, so it's just the cost of joining."
Hear this.
Lu Shan frowned slightly.
"I remember there shouldn't be such a rule, right?"
"Hey, it just came out now, why do you have any objections?"
Liu Guang sneered.
The words fell.
Several guards following the opponent also looked over.
The eyes were full of malice, and some even pointed their guns directly at this side.
In this gathering place, they holding guns are the truth.
Seeing this, Lu Shan was silent for a moment before speaking.
"I have no objection."
Although she wanted to use the dagger on her leg to slit the man's neck.
But she knew not to do this.
Soon, the nearly 300-pound eared wolf was cut up on the spot.
These people were skilled in their skills, and it didn't take long for Long-eared Gray Wolf's fur to be peeled off cleanly.
This fur is considered the most valuable part of this wolf.
Then, Liu Guang cut off a right hind leg and threw it to Lu Shan.
Seeing this, Lu Shan's eyes became darker and his lips tightened.
This Long-eared Gray Wolf weighs three hundred kilograms, according to previous statements.
After handing over half of the meat, give yourself another half of the remaining meat, which should be at least a quarter, which is more than seventy kilograms.
But right now, if I just throw over a right leg, this leg will only weigh forty pounds at most.
However, she didn't say anything after all.
Standing still, watching the two people leave.
"It's a pity that this woman has a good figure, but the birthmark on her face is too unappetizing, otherwise she could be played with."
Liu Guang shook his head.
The idea only flashed through his mind.
He had an impression of this woman. She always got more or less food every time she went out. She was very skilled and had an extremely ruthless personality.
Therefore, he didn't dare to push too hard. If he offended the other party, he would give him a knife when he was happy.
Then it's over.
Moreover, there are many beautiful women in this gathering place, so you don't need to look for this one.
Thinking of this, Liu Guang weighed the blood-stained fur of Long-eared Wolf in his hands, and the smile on his face became stronger.
The fur of Long-eared Wolf is very thick. With a little modification, it can be made into a warm wolf fur coat.
But he also knew that such good things were not something he could afford.
According to the rules, it must be handed over to the leader.
Thinking of the conversation the leader had with him before.
Liu Guang felt a glimmer of expectation in his heart.
"If the leader is happy, maybe I will have the opportunity to become an evolver."
Thinking of this, Liu Guang's eyes instantly flashed with a light called ambition.
Buzz!
At this time, the sound of an engine came from a distance.
"Brother Liu, it seems that the leader and the others are back!"
A guard standing on the watchtower seemed to have seen something and quickly shouted to Liu Guang.
Liu Guang heard this.
Looking out, I saw a group of off-road vehicles driving over in front of me.
"Quickly, open the door and welcome the leader!"
See this.
He immediately called to the younger brother behind him and pushed open the rusty railing door that was only large enough for two people to pass through.
Within the gathering place.
Lu Shan carried the wolf's legs and walked in front of him silently.
Hu Qi was walking behind.
He glanced around and looked at the Rotten Leaf Settlement.
Because it is located in a valley, the entire gathering terrain is like a long and narrow crack, rectangular in shape. It is about fifty or sixty meters wide and more than one kilometer long.
There were low and dilapidated buildings all around, crowded together, and the air was filled with a faint smell of feces and urine, which was disgusting.
In addition, there are some white greenhouses.
Crooked and crooked, some are leaning against dilapidated houses, and some are standing beside narrow passages.
The shed membrane is full of patches and stains.
Planted there are some fungi, which are also the food source of this gathering place.
In the middle of the road.
A straight gravel road leads into the distance, and at the end of the road is a manor that is incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Most of the survivors encountered along the way were thin and pale-faced.
When he saw the bloody Long-eared Wolf's hind legs in Lu Shan's hands, malicious eyes were immediately projected from all directions.
However.
Everyone seemed to be enduring something and did not take any action.
As a gathering place, it naturally has a set of order to maintain operation.
If there are no rules, it will inevitably fall into chaos, and this is the last thing those in power want to see.
Among them, the most critical rule is that survivors in the gathering area are strictly prohibited from killing each other or robbing other people's property.
Once violated, both parties involved will be hanged without mercy.
After experiencing the deaths of several people who tried to test the law and seeing the cruel methods of the leader Rotten Leaf Settlement, no one dared to violate the law in broad daylight.
Of course, at night, if no one notices.
Some thefts and robberies still occur from time to time, and it is difficult to completely eliminate them.
However, it is rare for people to be beaten to death openly in gathering areas.
On the one hand, everyone is afraid of the majesty of the leader;
On the other hand, Rotten Leaf Settlement is not so scarce in terms of food that people would starve to death.
Otherwise, even if the leader suppresses them forcefully, they may not be able to prevent the killings from happening.
Lu Shan, who was walking in front, was obviously used to this kind of scene.
She looked back with cold eyes. Those people obviously knew Lu Shan and knew that she was not easy to mess with, so they immediately withdrew their gaze.
Only a few glances were still cast towards this side.
Suddenly, just as the two of them turned into an intersection.
A burst of noise came from the gravel road behind.
Hu Qi looked up.
I saw seven off-road vehicles driving from a distance.
I saw that car, with layers of rust all over its body, patches on its body, and it was dilapidated.
The roof of the car has long disappeared, and the car is filled with various animal carcasses, exuding a disgusting rancid smell.
Each car was crowded with five or six people, standing or sitting.
These people are very different from the pale-looking, malnourished survivors in the gathering place.
Their upper bodies were exposed, their muscles were well defined, and they were strong and strong.
The face was smeared with strange blood-colored paint, exuding a primitive savagery.
He had a gun on his back and a long knife in his hand, with a ferocious expression and a fierce look in his eyes.
The motorcade roared all the way, like a group of beasts out of their cages, roaring at the strong wind without any scruples, their voices full of morbidity and madness.
When the survivors on the road saw this, they were so frightened that they hid on both sides of the road and knelt on the ground fearfully, not daring to breathe.
The other one, Hu Qi, was a figure standing in a car at the front with his arms crossed.
It was a man with muscles all over his body and a black iron mask. His exact appearance was unclear.
However, according to Hu Qi's perception, the energy emitted from the opponent's body was far beyond that of ordinary people.
According to Lu Shan's whispered explanation on the side.
This person is the leader of Rotten Leaf Settlement.
As a leader, it is naturally impossible for him to eat fungi every day.
In order to maintain food consumption, the leader would take people out to hunt every once in a while.
At this time, the man in the black iron mask in the car seemed to notice something and turned his head to look.
However, because the car was traveling too fast, it had already passed the intersection where Hu Qi was, so naturally it found nothing.
In place, Hu Qi withdrew his gaze.
Continue to follow Lu Shan forward.
soon.
The two stopped in front of a low house near the corner.
The so-called houses here are not so much buildings as they are houses built out of several scrap containers with faded appearance.
A residence like this is actually pretty good in this area.
At least it can protect you from wind and rain and won't leak.
We have walked all the way before, except for the manor in the center.
Most of the rest are wooden houses and thatched houses. Whenever it rains, water leaks out of those simple houses, making the living conditions extremely poor.
Just when I came to the door.
It seemed like he heard some noise.
A thin, pale young man walked out of it.
"Sister, you are back."
Having said this, he noticed Hu Qi following Lu Shan.
