As they got closer, the flat head slowly lifted up, revealing a piece of Qi Petal on the forehead.
One petal.
Deng Qing has seen a lot of Qi Beast, but he was still surprised by the Qi Beast in front of him.
The Qi Beast in Desolate Soil can be divided into mutated animals according to their appearance. For example, the Unicorn Wolf he killed, etc., this kind at least conforms to the recognized animal shape.
The other part, Qi Beast, is just like the Creator messing around, with absolutely no rules to follow.
This is what's happening in front of you.
But often the weirder the Qi Beast looks, the more evil it is.
But no matter what, as long as there are not three Qi Petal on the forehead, Deng Qing is not empty.
With a whoosh, Deng Qing rushed out from behind the stone and faced him with his sword drawn.
Suddenly, there was the sound of flapping wings above his head, and a Flamebird was flying rapidly this way. Before it started chirping, Deng Qing had already pricked its finger with Image Recording Needle.
He glanced to both sides with his peripheral vision.
Until Qi Beast turned around, no followers of Huang Yunfan and Song Wuji showed up.
He secretly thought that it was because his grades had been zero for two days in a row. The man surnamed Huang expected that he would not be able to catch up and was too lazy to keep an eye on him.
With this thought, Deng Qing gathered his mind and took the flat head in front of him seriously Qi Beast.
The flat head also rushed towards Deng Qing. It suddenly lowered its body and the fleshy sac on its back shrank.
The mouth embedded in the middle of the shoulders suddenly opened, and a ball of flame as big as a fist spurted out.
Deng Qing flashed sideways.
The fire ball rubbed the corner of his clothes on the ground, burning a small area of charred black, and soon extinguished.
Deng Qing shook his head for a while. Anyway, it is true that Qi Beast of this level has special powers, but it is only a "supernormal" and does not show much power.
Their main ability lies in their strong bodies.
To destroy them, you have to break their cover to defeat them.
The flat head missed a single blow, and its spirit was strong. It kicked its six legs in succession, and its body shape suddenly accelerated. Its two front limbs suddenly raised and stepped down towards Deng Qing's chest.
Deng Qing moved Blood Baleful Intent silently, and a surging color like Qi-Blood appeared on the body surface.
With a bang, Qi Beast hit his chest and threw him to the ground.
Deng Qing took advantage of the situation and leaned back. His shoulders and back had not yet stabilized, and the hand holding the sword had already been raised upwards.
Desolate Iron Sword penetrated the lowered head from the front and penetrated Qi Petal.
In an instant, the weight on his body suddenly lightened up.
The flat-headed gray-white body quickly dispersed and disappeared.
Deng Qing stood up on the ground, shook off Qi Petal from the tip of the sword, reached out to grab it, and loaded it into Waist Pouch.
Before he could take a breath, Flamebird above his head screamed.
The next moment, the branches and leaves in the northwest forest suddenly parted, and two giant creatures jumped out one after the other.
One looks like a gray wolf, with a row of ribs arched on its back; the other looks like a giant leopard, with two thick and long tails trailing behind it.
The shoulders and backs of the two beasts were almost as high as humans, one behind the other. As they ran, gravel flew everywhere under their claws.
The goals of the two beasts are highly unified, and they are all those pieces of meat. Deng Qing is sure that these two giant beasts are going to fight, so they simply retreat.
Sure enough, the two Qi Beast just rushed to the minced meat, and the giant wolf's head was hit by the leopard's claw.
It snapped back, biting the leopard's shoulder, and the two huge bodies immediately collided and rolled out with a roar.
Deng Qing hid behind the stone and silently estimated the time.
When Image Recording Needle was turned on for two hundred breaths and the heat in his chest subsided, he inserted Desolate Iron Sword back behind his back.
What's really great about him now is his skills in fists and feet. He has a record of Image Recording Needle, so he can't use them to his fullest.
Now that the Image Recording Needle skill is on cooldown, he no longer has such scruples.
At that moment, Deng Qing rushed out quickly.
The two Qi Beasts were fighting fiercely. Seeing that this little thing dared to come up to him, they all roared, abandoned each other, and turned towards Deng Qing.
At the same time, the trees on the west side shook again, and two more Qi Beast emerged.
Deng Qing glanced at the eyebrows of these Qi Beast, and saw that they were all in the same shape, and suddenly felt happy in his heart.
The next moment, Deng Qing urged Blood Baleful Intent, and the color of Qi-Blood appeared on the skin, and the giant wolf rushed to the front and launched an attack.
One move Phoenix Swaps the Nest!
He grabbed the raised forelimbs of the giant wolf, turned his shoulders, and the huge wolf body was lifted off the ground and flew out.
Deng Qing jumped up immediately, stepped on the wolf's back, and slammed down with his right fist.
Qi Petal escaped from his body, the giant wolf suddenly fell down and vaporized instantly.
The giant leopard had already rushed close. Perhaps it was frightened by Deng Qing's ferocity. It suddenly braced its four legs and dragged its claws into several deep grooves on the ground.
Deng Qing gave a low shout and pounced on the giant leopard. The giant leopard hurriedly waved its claws. Deng Qing clasped his arms and squeezed into its chest.
With one move Carrying the Elephant Across the River, the two thick forelimbs of the giant leopard were severed by him, and the body sank down. Deng Qing's fist immediately hit Qi Petal between the eyebrows.
In an instant, the giant leopard disappeared.
Deng Qing came out through the smoke and faced the two Qi Beast who were running towards him...
After a while of crackling, Deng Qing picked up the four scattered Qi Petal and returned to the back of the stone again.
Half an hour later, two more Qi Beast came over and were cooked by him one by one.
Deng Qing continued to wait, but then, his good use was exhausted, and there was still no movement in the forest.
Deng Qing then walked to the boulder, took back the heart and lung fragments on the ground Ice Soul Bottle, plugged the bottle mouth tightly, and took back Waist Pouch.
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded through the forest.
It's time to get off work.
After dinner, the small Wooden House, Oil Lamp was dimly lit, and Song Wuji was leaning over the table, holding a stick of Charcoal Pencil and writing calculations on the paper.
Next to the names in several columns are numbers.
He added a number next to each name, checked it over again, swapped two of the names, and then sat back in his chair with satisfaction.
Duoduo, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Song Wuji put down Charcoal Pencil, stood up and opened the door. Seeing it was Huang Yunfan, he quickly let the person in.
Huang Yunfan walked to the table, lowered his head and glanced at the piece of paper, his eyebrows suddenly raised, "Why, I am ranked tenth, and you are ranked ninth, and you are so proud of it that you can secretly enjoy yourself behind closed doors?"
What is written on the paper is the ranking of Inspector obtained by Song Wuji.
Song Wuji waved his hand. "Brother Huang is joking, how dare I compete with you. The final assessment is over, and if you can still stay in the top ten, I will be proud of it, and I can have an explanation with my family when I go back."
Huang Yunfan pulled up a chair and sat down, "That's right. I heard that only the top three can enter the advanced test area. Then at least the top three among Bone-Tempering Two are qualified to think about it."
As he spoke, he pointed at the names on the back of the paper, "However, our top ten is pretty stable. As far as I know, everyone from the eleventh to the eleventh is mediocre and nothing to worry about. Deng Qing is a bit of a moron, but I pressed it."
There are only two days left, we will take action as usual, and the top ten will be stable."
Song Wuji nodded, folded the piece of paper, "By the way, Deng Qing, how are you doing over there?"
"Honestly."
Huang Yunfan poured a cup of tea on his own, "I told you before, True Yang Martial Sect I kept my word."
Song Wuji gives a thumbs up.
Huang Yunfan The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the tea was brought to his lips when the door panel suddenly banged.
"Brother Song, Brother Song!"
Song Wuji frowned and stood up to open the door.
Standing outside the door was a tall and thin young man with slightly protruding cheekbones and sweat on his forehead. It was Hu Li who was usually close to him.
Song Wuji frowned and asked, "What's the hurry? What happened?"
Hu Li entered the door, first bowed his hands to Huang Yunfan, and then said, "Deng Qing and I are in an adjacent area today. When I saw him, there seemed to be a lot of Qi Beast running over."
Huang Yunfan smiled, "A lot? Two heads, or three heads?"
Hu Li hesitated and said, "It should be more than that."
Huang Yunfan scoffed. "I'm afraid you're dazzled by the mist."
Hu Li opened his mouth and was still waiting to argue. Song Wuji raised his hand to interrupt, "Okay, go back first."
After Hu Li left, Song Wuji closed the door and his face became stern, "In my opinion, what Hu Li said may not be false."
Huang Yunfan put down the tea cup and raised his eyebrows, "What? You don't believe in my intimidation to Deng Qing?"
Song Wuji waved his hand, "Don't talk about this, just talk about the possibility. As far as I know, Liu Xiang, He Huan, they are all using Wasteland Beast's flesh and blood to attract Qi Beast.
Hu Li saw a lot of Qi Beast going to Deng Qing, maybe this guy also used this method."
Huang Yunfan frowned slightly but did not answer the call.
Song Wuji continued, "However, Liu Xiang and He Huan are both Bone-Tempering Two. Because once Qi Beast arrives, they may not line up head by head. Those who dare to do this must have confidence."
After saying this, Song Wuji's face became extremely serious, staring at Huang Yunfan and saying, "Maybe Deng Qing is Bone-Tempering Two."
"No way!"
Huang Yunfan waved his hand flatly, "I'm not kidding you, I actually tested him with Realm-Testing Sphere. At that time, he was still at the Skin Tempering Realm. His breakthrough to Bone-Forging First Layer will definitely be within this month."
Brother Song, if you think about it carefully, do you think it is possible to go from Bone-Forging First Layer to Bone-Tempering Two in one month?"
Song Wuji shook his head, "Nothing is absolute. Since Desolate Soil appeared, have there been fewer evil things in our world of cultivation?"
Huang Yunfan was speechless and looked gloomy.
Song Wuji said, "We don't need to fight here. It's very simple to verify. Go check his results quickly."
Huang Yunfan leaned back in his chair and said, "I'm not going. Sun Laosi has a very dark heart. Every time he asks for help, he makes a big fuss. I'm too lazy to look at his face."
Song Wuji was anxious, "What is this expense? If Deng Qing catches up from behind and squeezes us out, it will be too late to make up for it by then."
Huang Yunfan picked up the tea bowl and showed no intention of moving.
Song Wuji said, "I'll share the expenses equally with you, okay?"
But in my heart, I said, what nonsense Young Master Yunfan, they are all just a piece of shit, just playing with the character.
Huang Yunfan then put down the tea bowl and stood up, "Okay, then I'll take a look again."
Huang Yunfan left quickly and came back even faster, but every time he left, Huang Yunfan's face became filled with endless gloom.
Song Wuji's heart skipped a beat, "Have you found it?"
Huang Yunfan walked to the table and pulled open the piece of paper Song Wuji made, "This guy has climbed to the sixteenth place. Today, he fucked seven Qi Beast!"
Song Wuji's complexion changed drastically.
Huang Yunfan gritted his teeth and said, "We only focused on looking at the top fifteen, but we actually ignored his wolfish ambition.
What a mountain wolf, I, True Yang Martial Sect, actually raised such a dog!"
The more he talked, the more annoyed he became, and he slapped the paper loudly.
Huang Yunfan cursed angrily, but Song Wuji didn't respond.
Huang Yunfan frowned and looked at Song Wuji. His eyes were fixed as if he was wandering in a fugue, and he said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so stunned at this moment?"
Song Wuji took a deep breath and said, "I don't want to be an enemy of Deng Qing."
Huang Yunfan was startled.
"Fortunately, the hatred we have now is not too big."
Song Wuji said, "I plan to apologize and ask him what conditions he has to expose this matter."
Huang Yunfan stared at him, as if he had met this person for the first time, "Are you crazy? You are also Mr. Song Family after all. Why do you still have no shame in coming to him in person to apologize?"
Song Wuji raised his head, "I want my life."
Huang Yunfan paused as soon as the words came to his lips.
Song Wuji said, "Is it worth it to compete with such a future star?"
Huang Yunfan swallowed and frowned, "What do you mean, are you ready to withdraw the fire?"
"Everything must be calculated based on the benefit ratio."
Song Wuji stretched out his hand and smoothed the paper on the table, "What's the point of making enemies with such a genius? If you win, what more can you get? If you lose, how much do you have to lose?
Although we offended him before, we haven't offended Death after all. We can just make amends now, why bother going to Death?"
Huang Yunfan looked cold.
Song Wuji sighed, "I'm just Lineage's bastard. It's true that Lineage supports me, but he will never encourage me to cause trouble everywhere."
Huang Yunfan sneered, "This thief has teased me again and again. You can't afford to offend me, but I can!"
Song Wuji was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "Brother Huang, you don't really think that because you are Young Master Yunfan and the son of an elder, he won't dare to kill you, do you?"
Huang Yunfan eyes widened.
"This is Desolate Soil."
Song Wuji pointed out the window, "Qi Beast is making trouble outside, and Donghuang Cult is making trouble. If he finds an opportunity to kill you, who can find out?"
Huang Yunfan stopped talking.
Song Wuji said coldly, "It's okay to have a high status, but it's okay to live in a humble family.
But don't compete with the genius Martial Artist. There is no limit to their growth. They grow almost every year. Why should we fight to the death with such people?"
Huang Yunfan took a breath of cold air, "Genius Martial Artist? Kill me? No, that's not true, is it?"
Song Wuji said, "Deng Qing's situation was what you told me.
He is of humble origin and has come this far. Tell me, are there any bones beneath his feet?"
Huang Yunfan's eyes widened and he stopped talking.
Song Wuji folded the paper on the table and said, "In the final analysis, if you continue to fight with Deng Qing, the benefits will not be much, but the risks will be huge. Why bother?"
Huang Yunfan took a deep breath and nodded, "That's the thing. My father also said that fighting over things that are not beneficial is just idleness."
He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, "In that case, let's let this guy do it once."
Early the next morning, in the cafeteria.
Deng Qing holds a piece of white bread and bites open the thin crust, which is filled with oily meat filling.
Deng Qing As he ate, he felt that the recent food was really good. I heard that supplies had arrived.
He fucked three kilograms of meat buns in a row, and suddenly there was a whistle from outside.
Immediately afterwards, someone rushed to the door and shouted, "The bulletin board has been updated, it is related to our Inspector!"
There was a sudden noise in the cafeteria, and everyone rushed out.
Deng Qing finished the buns in his hands in three mouthfuls and followed him out. Before he could get close, he heard a roar.
"Are there any in the top ten?"
"Yes, write it clearly, see for yourself, top ten, award Feather Guard Merit!"
Deng Qing paused slightly, squeezed to the outside of the crowd, and looked up.
On the newly posted notice, the rewards for this Inspector assessment were indeed announced. Those who ranked in the top ten in the final score will be awarded Feather Guard Merit.
Someone asked, "How come this is announced now and it's not over yet?"
Someone replied, "Don't you understand? It's not hope yet. Let's fight harder."
Someone asked in a low voice, "What is the use of this Feather Guard Merit?"
Someone immediately answered, "Three households can be exempted Corvée. When you meet officials below the third rank, you don't have to kneel down!"
There was also an excited voice that continued, "During the New Year and festivals, the local government hosts banquets with people from the countryside. With this Honorary Merit Rank here, your seat will be indispensable. If you participate in the imperial selection, you will get extra points."
In short, if you get this Honorary Merit Rank, it's not someone who blew it off behind closed doors, it's recognized by the imperial court! It's not an exaggeration to say that the ancestors are honored!"
Deng Qing listened for a while and was very excited. He had been around the Celebration Hall for a long time and had performed many County Yamen tasks. He had already had half a foot in the system.
He knows that under the Imperial Court system, famous names are particularly important.
Although he does not have a shelter, he does not need to be exempted from three households Corvée.
But the fame and honor brought by Feathered Forest Guard are very valuable.
More importantly, once this thing is implemented, he will get a good resume.
The calculation was settled, Deng Qing walked out. Not far away, Huang Yunfan saw him and was about to catch up quickly.
Huang Yunfan has already thought of the words for reconciliation.
He prides himself on his noble status and can at most say a few soft words. He doesn't believe that Deng Qing dares to accept the settlement without gratitude.
Seeing that Huang Yunfan was about to catch up, a hand suddenly touched his shoulder.
Huang Yunfan paused in his steps and turned around, it was Song Wuji.
Huang Yunfan was startled. The Song Wuji in front of him had bloodshot eyes and looked extremely haggard.
Huang Yunfan frowned and was about to speak, but Song Wuji winked at him and walked towards a secluded place, followed closely by Huang Yunfan.
When we walked to the foot of an old tree, there were rocks covering a radius of more than ten feet, and there was no one around.
Huang Yunfan said, "What's wrong with you? Didn't we agree to make peace with this guy? Why are you trying to stop me? By the way, how did you end up like this?"
Song Wuji whispered, "I learned about Feathered Forest Guard from Lao Xie an hour ago.
I didn't expect such a heavy reward from above. I didn't want to take risks, but I wanted to make huge profits."
Huang Yunfan was stunned, stared at Song Wuji and said, "You mean Deng Qing?"
Song Wuji nodded. "With him here, our top ten will not be stable. He can get seven heads in one day. There are still two days left, and he will definitely surpass you and me."
How can I be willing to have Feathered Forest Guard at my fingertips?"
Huang Yunfan said, "What on earth do you think? I don't care, I am dignified Young Master Yunfan, and my father is the elder Tongling Hall. I don't believe Deng Qing has the guts to touch me.
Even if the man named Deng loses his temper and goes crazy, I don't intend to act alone and I won't give him a chance.
Brother Song, you can say whatever you want, I will definitely be loyal and play this game with you."
Song Wuji Xu Xu said, "Feather Guard Merit, if I get it, even if I am a concubine, even if I cannot compete for the head of the family in the future, I will definitely be indispensable for the core position in the family.
I said before that I wouldn't fight with someone because it doesn't mean much and it's just a risk.
Now that the benefits are on the table, if we get rid of someone, we will definitely enter the top ten hand in hand, so why not fight.
What's more, if you take this opportunity and design it well, you can solve the problem once and for all!
Deng Qing ah Deng Qing, don't blame us for not choosing someone else, you are the only one who is humble."
Huang Yunfan laughed and raised his palms.
Song Wuji was stunned for a moment, then understood, and the two of them gave each other a high-five. The moment the applause rang out, it was as if the bell of victory was ringing.
