"No? Forget it, dig a hole and bury it!"

After touching for a while, he did not find the talisman he wanted on Fang Nianshui's body, except for two bottles of jade snake ointment, three taels of snowflake silver and a secret book wrapped in cowhide.

He originally wanted to see if he could find a flame talisman or something from Fang Nianshui's body and burn his body to ashes, but it was a pity that he couldn't find it.

Since he couldn't find the talisman and he didn't dare to wander around, if he encountered something strange, the gain would outweigh the loss, so the best way was to bury it on the spot.

Just dig a hole, bury some soil, and count one, two, three, four, five. Isn't it simple?

Not daring to delay, Ye Qing immediately used Fang Nianshui's long knife to dig a deep pit about two feet deep in the ground, threw the body into the pit, and buried it.

There is a deep pit of more than two feet, and ordinary people will never find Fang Nianshui's body. In two days, his body will be eaten by monsters underground and disappear from this world forever.

"Phew, that's it!" After doing all this, Ye Qing checked it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that nothing was missing.

Just after resting for a while, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded. Lin Hu rushed over with several people and stopped two feet away from Ye Qing.

"Ye Qing?" Lin Hu asked with a frown.

Ye Qing also looked at Lin Hu and others with caution. All of them were injured, and they had obviously experienced a tough battle before: "It's me, captain!"

"Have you also encountered a human-skin monster?" Lin Hu glanced at the human-skin monster on the ground and said solemnly.

Ye Qing said solemnly: "Yes, Fangtou and I were patrolling on the road when we suddenly heard Uncle Ma calling for help..."

Ye Qing described everything he had seen before.

Lin Hu frowned: "Where is Nian Shui?"

Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm as he said, "After Fang Tou killed these human-skinned monsters earlier, he seemed to have discovered something. Fang Tou felt that I was too weak to help, so he asked me to stay where I was.

, I chased him alone."

Lin Hu thought deeply: "Nian Shui must have discovered the true form of the weird human skin, but it was too reckless!"

He didn't doubt Ye Qing's words at all, or in other words, he didn't think about it at all.

"Why, Captain, have you also encountered a monster with human skin?" Ye Qing asked.

Lin Hu sighed: "Yes, many villagers were killed today and turned into monsters with human skin. I don't know what is causing the trouble?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Ye Qing, please join us and kill all the human-skin monsters wandering outside the village. Otherwise, the villagers who go out to farm will be in danger." Lin Hu ordered.

"Yes!" Everyone responded. Next, Ye Qing followed Lin Hu and others around the fields around Junshan Village, but strangely, he didn't encounter any monsters with human skins.

"It's strange. Weren't there so many human-skinned monsters just now? Why are none of them missing now? Did they run away? Or were they all killed by us?" one person asked strangely.

Lin Hu frowned: "Don't be careless. These human-like monsters are unusual. I guess we didn't kill them before. Their main bodies should still be alive."

Everyone nodded to express their understanding!

"By the way, we didn't meet Nian Shui on this journey. Isn't Nian Shui already..." Suddenly, a person who was familiar with Fang Nian Shui said.

What happened? Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone knew it well and suddenly seemed a little silent and worried.

"Let's go back to the village first and see if Nian Shui has gone back!" After a moment of silence, Lin Hu said: "If something happens...it will be his own fault."

"Everyone is tired, let's go back first!"

Following Lin Hu, everyone returned to Junshan Village and entered the village after being inspected by the survey mirror.

As soon as he entered the village, Lin Hu turned to the guard at the door and asked, "Is Fang Nianshui back?"

The guard shook his head: "He hasn't come back yet, what's wrong?"

Lin Hu's eyes dimmed and he did not answer directly: "It's okay, we're going back first, thank you for your hard work!"

Although he said this, he knew that Fang Nianshui's hope of survival was already very small!

Others are equally sad and sad!

"Okay, don't even think about it. We've all been tired for a day. Let's go back and have a good rest. We have to continue patrolling tomorrow to prevent the human-skinned monsters from causing trouble again!" Lin Hu said tiredly, rubbing his sore eyebrows.

"Okay, captain, you should also take a good rest, don't be too tired!" Several team captains responded, then turned and left.

"Ye Qing, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!" Ye Qing was about to leave when he was stopped by Lin Hu.

Ye Qing's heart thumped, but his face was extremely calm: "Captain, what's the matter?"

"Nian Shui hasn't come back yet, so he is probably in serious trouble. I'll make arrangements for you to patrol with Tianhong and his group tomorrow." Lin Hu spoke in a heavy tone, with a deep regret on his face.

Fang Nianshui is only in his thirties. He has reached the stage of body tempering and has begun to condense his true energy. He is only half a step away from entering the Qi Condensing Realm. He is the younger generation in Junshan Village who is most likely to enter the Qi Condensing Realm. They have placed their trust in it.

I had high hopes, but I didn’t expect that he would die, which is inevitably a bit regretful.

"No need, captain, I think I'm capable of patrolling on my own." Ye Qing refused.

Lin Hu frowned: "You? No, it's too dangerous!"

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Captain, don't worry, I have been tempered to a small size now, enough to handle patrol work alone."

"What, you have already tempered your body?" Lin Hu said in surprise: "Didn't you just start tempering your body two days ago? How come it is so fast?"

Ye Qing touched his nose and said sheepishly: "Maybe, I am a genius!"

"..." After thinking for a moment, Lin Hu still hesitated and said, "But, it's still too dangerous."

He did not ask Ye Qing why he was able to temper his body so quickly. Everyone has their own secrets. If you pursue too many questions, even an innocent person will become an enemy.

Ye Qing smiled and said: "Captain, don't worry, I'll be careful and nothing will happen. Besides, our patrol team is short of manpower now. If I go to another team, wouldn't there be no one to do Fang Tou's work?"

If there is any oversight, the villagers who go out to farm will be in even greater danger."

Lin Hu opened his mouth, and finally could only sigh silently. Recently, strange things have appeared outside the village, and the patrol members have also suffered heavy losses. There is indeed a shortage of manpower. If Ye Qing is assigned to other teams, Fang Nianshui's patrol area and tasks

There is no doubt that it will fall on others, increasing their burdens and dangers.

Therefore, Ye Qing's words hit his weak spot.

"Okay." In the end, Lin Hu could only nod in agreement.

"Thank you very much, Captain." Ye Qinggong handed over his hand. He knew that Lin Hu would agree. Firstly, the patrol team is really short of people now. Secondly, he has shown that he has reached the realm of tempering body, and his strength is not considered among the patrol team.

It's high, but not too low, just enough to carry out patrol duties alone.

The reason why he did this was, on the one hand, to prevent Chen Zheng from sending people to trouble him again; on the other hand, it was to prevent others from discovering his secrets. Just like Fang Nianshui, no matter how well he concealed it, the other party still discovered some of it.

There are no clues, so it is safest to act alone.

As for whether Chen Zheng would be wary of his revealing the realm of minor body tempering accomplishments, Ye Qing was not worried. The realm of minor accomplishments in body tempering was not too outrageous. Didn’t Lin Hu’s reaction seem ordinary? So Chen Zheng

After Zheng knew about it, he could at most be more vigilant and not let the other party attack him desperately and eliminate the root cause.

Because of this, he dared to show a hint of strength.

"I will tell Granny Xia later that you can get some talismans from Granny Xia tomorrow. If you encounter any danger during patrol, don't be brave and send a signal immediately to ask for support." Lin Hu instructed.

Ye Qing nodded: "I understand."

Granny Xia is one of the three great martial arts masters in the village. She is also a talisman and seal master. All the talismans and seals in the village are drawn and made by her. However, since drawing and making talismans requires a lot of materials and mental energy, she only has

Only those who are squad leader or above are eligible to receive Talismans, and the amount is limited.

Lin Hu allowed Ye Qing to receive the talisman seal, indicating that Ye Qing's status was no different from that of an ordinary squad leader.

"If there's nothing wrong with the captain, I'll go back first." Ye Qing bowed his hands to Lin Hugong, then said goodbye and left.

…

Outside the village, a gloomy cold wind passed by, carrying a few rays of gloom. The wind children who were chasing the breeze and playing in the air immediately fled without a trace. Some weird things wandering in the wild also seemed to sense some danger and disappeared.

not see.

Only the peaceful fields remain, as silent as death.

"rustle"

Suddenly, there was a sound like the rustling of leaves in the breeze, or the sound of fingers rubbing gravel.

The next moment, the ground bulged and shrank, and then a withered palm stretched out from the ground. Slowly, the soil kept churning. Behind the palm, there were arms and bodies. After a while, a corpse-like figure appeared.

People dig out of the soil.

If Ye Qing were here, he would definitely recognize that this person was Fang Nianshui who he killed.

However, "Fang Nianshui" seemed to have no consciousness at this time, with a numb and sluggish look on his face. Then a gash opened between his eyebrows, and the gash kept getting bigger. Finally, a complete piece of human skin fell off from "Fang Nianshui"'s body.

After shedding off, Fang Nianshui's human skin was stunned for a moment, and then ran towards Xiaojun Mountain as if he had received some instructions.

And in the field, countless human skins appeared at some point, densely packed, and they also ran towards Xiaojun Mountain.

It's like a black cloud of death.

…

After returning home, Ye Qing cooked a dish, ate steamed buns, padded his stomach, and started practicing again.

By the time he had completely devoured Fang Nianshui's blood and refined it, it was already evening.

After stopping his practice, Ye Qing frowned: "It's time to think about condensing Qi."

His current body is strong enough, his energy and blood are strong, and his foundation is extremely solid. If he continues to temper his body, although he can still continue to increase his strength, the speed of improvement cannot be compared with before. It has become extremely slow and limited, and requires a lot of energy.

Resources and time, so the best way at the moment is to condense Qi and enter the next realm.
