While Xu Qing was observing the environment of the fighting area, following the roar from the spectator seats around him, inside the Colosseum, at the gate that Xu Qing and his party had just passed through, there was a bang and a huge wooden door fell down.
It hit the ground hard, causing dust to fly.
This sound was like blowing a horn, making the scavengers around even more excited.
Xu Qing even noticed that on the top platform directly in front of him, there was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe, sitting at the top, accompanied by a group of people.
Because of the distance, it looks a little blurry.
But obviously this person's identity is unusual.
From such a distance, Xu Qing could feel that the spiritual energy fluctuations on the opponent's body were extremely strong, exceeding anything he had ever seen.
This made Xu Qing vigilant and at the same time, he also began to guess in his heart that this person was most likely the owner of this camp.
Because next to the other party, Xu Qing saw the three-handed Hu Zheng from yesterday, leaning forward and seeming to be reporting carefully.
As the camp leader took his seat, the three-haired man stood on the high platform and gestured downwards.
Soon, another wooden door opened at the edge of the Colosseum, and the roars and roars of ferocious beasts could be heard more clearly without the obstruction of the wooden door.
What appeared with the sound was a group of scavengers.
They were divided into four teams, each with three people, each carrying a huge iron cage and slowly walked out.
Inside the iron cage, the ferocious beast roared and jumped around, as if it wanted to tear the cage apart.
Xu Qing looked quickly and scanned the four iron cages.
I saw two giant wolves inside, one big and one small, but both had sharp teeth, their bodies were dark, and their eyes were bloody.
There was even a lot of saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth, and when he looked at Xu Qing and the other five, they all showed ferocious intentions.
There is also a red bear with red hair, its thick arms are longer than the thighs of an adult, its expression is full of rage, and it is constantly shaking the iron cage.
The three scavengers who carried it had great difficulty.
As for the ferocious beast in the last iron cage, it is obviously much weaker in momentum.
That's a gibbon.
The whole body was covered with pustules, which seemed to explode at the slightest touch, especially as it seemed to be in great pain, as it kept hitting the iron cage, causing the pustules to break apart, which was shocking.
Their appearance made the surrounding audience excited again.
The faces of the two teenagers beside Xu Qing instantly turned pale, and the little girl's eyes were also full of fear. Even the young man who was a scavenger was obviously a lot nervous at this moment.
"Why four?" Xu Qing was surprised and looked towards the open wooden door passage.
The moment he looked, the four roaring and struggling ferocious beasts suddenly became silent for an instant, as if they were frightened.
At the same time, a huge iron cage that was nearly twice the size of the cage they were in was slowly lifted out of the wooden door by six scavengers.
As the iron cage appeared, some people in the surrounding audience immediately exclaimed.
"Horned Python!!"
"This time the camp owner actually got a giant horned python, but in the eyes of the camp owner, this thing is not a valuable thing."
"For these little bastards, whoever draws this thing will die. Even if we meet it in the wild, it will take two people to fight hard to kill it."
The ferocious beast inside the iron cage turned out to be a huge python.
Its body is as thick as an adult's waist, and its body is gray and black with dark lines. If you look closely, the dark lines seem to depict horn-like peaks.
It coiled motionless in the cage, its huge head slightly raised, and its yellow vertical pupils looked coldly at the outside world.
Under its gaze, both the giant wolf and the gibbon were trembling.
Only the red bear let out a low growl when it was stimulated. It seemed to be fighting, but in fact its body was slowly retreating until it reached the edge of the cage.
"Don't get it, don't get it..."
Behind Xu Qing, the two young men were trembling and praying in low voices, but there was a gleam in Xu Qing's eyes.
He knew about this giant horned python. When he was in the slums, he saw someone in the city carrying the python corpse back from hunting this python.
At that time, I also heard from people with rich experience that this python is very powerful. Once entangled by it, a huge tree will be strangled by it, and the python's skin is very thick.
But his body is clumsy and his speed is relatively slow.
Its gallbladder has very good medicinal properties and can resolve pollution in the body to a certain extent. At the same time, snake meat is also very nourishing.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing remembered that Lei Dui once said that he likes to eat snakes.
As for snakes, he had caught a lot of them when he was a child, so he licked his lips.
In addition, the alienated spots on his body became darker and darker as he practiced, and he felt a faint tingling sensation during his practice yesterday.
Xu Qing thought that if he could eat the python's guts, he would be able to resolve a lot of problems.
As he stared at the giant horned python, the lottery began.
The scavengers arranged by Sanbihu came over with five bamboo sticks, and each bamboo stick was marked with the name of the ferocious beast that needed to be fought.
The young man was the first to step forward and draw something. After seeing what he had drawn, he was obviously relieved.
Then came the two boys and the little girl.
The first two looked a little bitter after pulling out the bamboo sticks during prayer, but the little girl looked at the bamboo sticks in her hands with despair in her eyes.
The one she drew was the giant horned python, and the last bamboo stick left was the little wolf, which was also the obviously weakest of the five ferocious beasts.
Xu Qing held the bamboo stick, frowned slightly, and pondered.
Soon, after the scavengers retreated and the testers were briefly stopped in the corner, the first test began amid the cheers of the spectators around them.
The person who arranged to appear was one of the two teenagers.
He walked out shivering, and the ferocious beast he fought with was the thick red bear.
The battle went very quickly, and the boy was no match for the red bear. After struggling several times, he was knocked down by the red bear. In despair, his body was torn apart.
Blood splattered everywhere, ushering in the boiling surroundings, accompanied by regretful curses.
This scene frightened the other boy so much that his body trembled. He who was supposed to be the second one suddenly shouted that he wanted to give up the trial.
So Xu Qing watched the young man being taken away by scavengers amidst boos. He didn't know what the outcome would be.
The third one is the young man who is a scavenger.
The one he drew was the larger black wolf. His experience as a scavenger made him more ruthless than ordinary people.
After a thrilling life-and-death struggle, he was wounded and panting and beheaded the wolf, becoming the first person to succeed in this trial.
The door opened, he clutched his chest and left freely.
The fourth...is a little girl.
When the iron prison holding the giant horned python was opened, the little girl gritted her teeth tremblingly and was about to walk past Xu Qing to fight.
But at this moment, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.
"Let's change."
The little girl was stunned for a moment, but before she could react, Xu Qing had already replaced her bamboo stick with it.
After taking away the bamboo stick with the horned python engraved on it, he ignored the little girl's grateful gaze and walked towards the horned python.
As they entered, the scavengers who were watching around had obviously seen the order before, and now they were making noises.
But except for the people who bet on him and the little girl, no one else would care about this kind of thing. They wouldn't, and neither would the camp owner. Everything would fend for itself.
In the Colosseum, Xu Qing walked calmly towards the iron cage. The giant horned python inside looked at Xu Qing coldly and slowly climbed out.
When the thick body leaned out of the iron cage, the scales scratched the iron bars of the cage, making bursts of harsh friction sounds.
The animal's instinct made it realize that the young man in front of it was somewhat different from the prey it usually encountered.
Therefore, after crawling out, the giant horned python did not attack immediately. Instead, it formed a formation outside the iron cage, with its head raised high and wary, staring at Xu Qing, who was approaching.
This scene made the surrounding audience interested, and the cheers became less.
Xu Qing's expression was as usual, and he was approaching step by step. Perhaps he had entered the attack range of the giant horned python, or maybe he was stimulated by his breath. The cold meaning in the vertical yellow pupils of the giant horned python was suddenly strong, and its tail slammed on the ground.
A knock on the ground produced a roaring sound.
In response to this sound, his body rushed out with force, its mouth opened wide in mid-air, and its sharp teeth were exposed ferociously. It also emitted an unpleasant stench and whizzed towards Xu Qing, intending to devour him.
Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the giant horned python that was approaching rapidly. The moment the opponent approached, he swerved to avoid it. He did not choose to take advantage of the opportunity to take action, let alone pay attention to the giant python head passing by.
With sharp eyes, like a hunter, he watched the python's belly closely.
During his observation, the giant horned python jumped into the air, roared from its mouth, twisted its body, and suddenly swung its tail behind, making a harsh whistling sound, and fiercely lashed towards Xu Qing.
The hunting instinct made the giant horned python forcefully turn its head at this moment, and its tail and tail were in tandem, like a circle that was about to be connected, and headed straight towards Xu Qing, as if it was trying to entangle him.
Xu Qing remained silent, his eyes still observing the giant horned python's abdomen until the snake's tail approached. He suddenly made a fist with his right hand and punched the snake's tail the moment it came out.
boom.
Although the practice of Haishan Jue is only one level, it can bring Xu Qing physical blessings that are not small. At this moment, the snake's tail was bombarded and rolled back directly, making it impossible to connect the head and tail. The giant horned python was obviously in pain, but it was not fatal.
The pain caused it to become fierce, its eyes turned red, its head hit hard, and it bit Xu Qing.
But Xu Qing's eyes were focused, and a bright light shone. He finally found the place he was looking for. At this moment, his body stepped forward, not retreating but advancing, directly approaching the middle and upper area of the giant horned python's body.
Make a fist with your right hand and punch hard, one punch, two punches, three punches...
Punch bombardment.
The impact force from Xu Qing made the giant horned python keep retreating, roaring more intensely, and tried to wrap around Xu Qing, but the power contained in Xu Qing's fist made it difficult to touch its head and tail.
As for the bombarded abdomen, because its scales were relatively weak, after a few punches, it was somewhat shattered by Xu Qing's punches, blood oozed out, and its toughness was damaged.
Seeing this, before the giant horned python could change its body shape, a cold and sharp light flashed in Xu Qing's eyes.
He immediately took out the dagger tied to his calf with his left hand, and with the cold light of the dagger shining, it pierced directly into the flesh and blood of the horned python with great speed.
It breaks in instantly and cuts hard.
Blood splashed everywhere, and amid the giant horned python's shrill hiss, a shocking wound was opened on its abdomen, revealing the snake gallbladder in its cavity.
This snake is very big, but it is obviously mutated. The snake's courage is as small as an egg.
Xu Qing didn't hesitate at all, raised his right hand and penetrated deep into the cavity, grabbed the snake's gallbladder and pulled hard, and took out the snake's gallbladder amid the giant horned python's shrill roar.
Blood sprayed and sand fell.
Ignoring the blood stains, Xu Qing took the snake gallbladder, his eyes flashed, and in front of the scavengers with different expressions around him, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
While swallowing calmly, the giant horned python that had been gutted alive struggled wildly in pain, roared loudly, and slapped its body hard on the ground to stir up dust, as if it wanted to vent the severe pain.
The head slammed towards Xu Qing even more violently, his red eyes showed madness, and his mouth opened to the extreme, as if he wanted to swallow Xu Qing completely.
Xu Qing looked at it coldly. The moment the opponent approached, his body suddenly jumped up. After avoiding the head collision again, he was in mid-air and waved his right hand, and a black iron sign suddenly appeared.
As he lowered his head, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his body sank heavily downward. Using his own strength, speed, and weight, he maximized the impact of the iron stick and stabbed it hard along the snake's heart area.
Breaking open the snake's scales, it was as powerful as breaking bamboo, and penetrated with one blow.
With a bang, the giant horned python's whole body trembled violently, as if it had no strength to support its body, and it fell heavily to the ground head and tail. Its shrill screams also stopped abruptly at this moment, and only the sound of its tail flapping feebly on the ground spread throughout the surroundings.
After a while... as the dust dissipated, the scavengers watching the battle were all surprised.
Many people stood up and looked solemnly at the young man in the Colosseum who was currently pulling out the iron sign from the snake corpse.
If adults killed the giant horned python in this way, they would not look like this.
But a small and skinny child could so cleanly swallow the bile of a live snake and then kill it with one blow, and his expression was indifferent, without any change from the beginning to the end.
This is extremely rare in the camp.
The little wolf and the red bear in the cage on the side were obviously frightened and were trembling there.
This doesn't seem to be a trial, but a hunt.
Under the gaze of everyone around him, the young man put the iron stick in place, clasped the giant horned python's wound with one hand, and walked towards the gate of the Colosseum.
Behind him, the blood from the giant horned python was dragged out of a red line, which was shocking.
Next to the gate, the giant gate has not yet opened, Xu Qing turned back to look at the high platform.
Not long after, the three-haired man on the high platform realized what he was doing. With some lingering fear, he immediately made a gesture, and soon... the door opened with a roar.
Exposed outside the door, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, Team Lei had been waiting for a long time.
He looked at Xu Qing with a smile.
"Can I stay at your place?" Xu Qing dragged the snake corpse and looked up at Team Lei.
"Okay." Lei Dui smiled.
Xu Qing nodded and threw the snake corpse in his hand.
"You like to eat snakes, please eat this."
Captain Lei was startled for a moment, then he laughed loudly, took the giant horned python corpse, and amid the laughter, he took Xu Qing and gradually walked away.
It wasn't until they were far away that a boiling uproar could be heard in the Colosseum.
And amidst the uproar, in the corner of the crowd, there was an old man wearing a purple robe, followed by a middle-aged man who looked like a servant and had an expressionless face. There was a five-pointed star totem between the middle-aged eyebrows.
They were sitting there, obviously incompatible with the surrounding environment in terms of their clothes and demeanor, but no one seemed to be able to see their existence.
Even the camp owner didn't see them in his eyes.
The old man's face was ruddy, and there was thunder in his eyes, as if it could destroy everything if it spread out. He was extremely extraordinary. At this moment, he was sitting there, looking at Xu Qing's retreating figure, and couldn't help laughing.
"This boy is interesting."
