Upon hearing this, Ding Xue immediately took out the jade slip and looked at Xu Qing.
As long as Xu Qing gave the signal, she planned to send a message for help.
Xu Qing said nothing and listened carefully. After waiting for a long time, the same voice as before came from the secret passage for the second time.
"Dad, come home quickly..."
The voice is still full of longing. This emotion is very strong. It seems to be coming from a secret passage, but it feels like it is calling in the ear, and it is easy for people to have pictures in front of their eyes.
Xu Qing's eyes widened as he pondered. He did not notice any dangerous fluctuations in the secret passage, nor did he detect any strange coldness in his perception. However, he still instantly ignited the life fire and activated the Xuan Yao state.
In the past month, this was the first time that Xu Qing had activated the Xuan Yao state in front of Ding Xue. The dangers he had encountered before could be resolved in his normal state.
At this moment, as the momentum suddenly exploded, Ding Xue and Zhao Zhongheng both took a breath and instinctively stepped back, their eyes instantly stung and they dared not look directly.
Ding Xue was okay. Although she couldn't open her eyes, she was more surprised than shocked. However, Zhao Zhongheng's expression changed, and the construction in his heart almost collapsed again at this moment.
"Who said that the one who stands in the light is the hero? My sincerity is different!" Zhao Zhongheng breathed quickly and shouted encouragement to himself in his heart.
Xu Qing didn't know what Ding Xue and Zhao Zhongheng were thinking at this moment, and he didn't care about it. Now with the activation of the Xuanyuan State, he rushed forward without any hesitation and stepped directly into the secret passage.
As he entered, Xu Qing's speed was astonishing, and he whizzed down the secret passage towards the depths. Wherever he passed, there was a sonic boom and a series of echoes in the narrow secret passage.
At the same time, he also noticed that the activity of the heterogeneous internal corpse poison here was indeed dissipating rapidly, like volatilization after death.
Xu Qing was thoughtful and reached the end of the secret passage in an instant. His eyes were like lightning and he quickly looked around.
This is like a simple hiding place.
There is a figure from the Sea Corpse Clan in the corner. He looks like an old man from the human race. He is currently nestled in the corner and is dead.
There are several shocking wounds on the corpse, especially the Dantian area, which is a lake of flesh and blood. The injuries there are the most fatal and are almost pierced. This corpse is also the source of the strangeness and corpse poison.
And even if he died, the fluctuations lingering on his body were still very strong. Xu Qing glanced over and judged that this man was at least a ball of life fire when he was alive.
This Sea Corpse Tribe was obviously seriously injured on the Mermaid Tribe Island, and insisted on hiding here. No longer able to escape, it was even more difficult to recover, and finally died silently here.
It shouldn't have been a long time since he died, so the secret passage was opened before the aliens came out.
And its expression is somewhat different from the Sea Corpse Clan that Xu Qing has seen. Although it is gradually decaying, the confusion before birth can still be faintly seen.
Especially when he was holding a bronze vial tightly in his hand.
It seemed like this was the most precious thing he had before his death.
The vial was very old and had been opened, and the sound that Xu Qing had just heard came from inside.
"Dad, come home quickly..."
The voice was very weak, with a strong feeling of longing.
The old man from the Sea Corpse Clan seemed to have opened the bottle before death and kept listening to the sound over and over as he gradually died.
It seemed that this was the voice of his dearest relative.
Xu Qing glanced at the bottle and then looked around to make sure that there was no danger here when footsteps came from behind him.
The visitors were Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xue. After Xu Qing entered the secret passage, they waited for a while and noticed that there was no movement inside. So Ding Xue became anxious and ran in quickly, and Zhao Zhongheng could only follow.
At this moment, Ding Xue noticed that Xu Qing was safe. She breathed a sigh of relief and then looked around. After seeing everything here clearly, she looked at the bottle in the hands of the corpse of the Sea Corpse Clan and exclaimed.
"Sound bottle!"
Ding Xue, who had an astonishing background, was obviously cognitively superior to ordinary monks. At this moment, she recognized the origin of the bronze vial, so after noticing Xu Qing's gaze, she quickly informed him.
"The sound-catching bottle is an antique and rare. Its value is priceless to some people, but it is not valuable to many people because its function is very single, which is to capture sound and open it at any time after covering it. You can hear the sound being captured."
"The sound is extremely real, and can even be said to be the original sound. This is what makes it unique and precious, but it cannot last long. After it is turned on for a long time, the sound will slowly dissipate and needs to be captured again."
Having said this, Ding Xue looked at the Sea Corpse Clan, and then at the sound bottle that was tightly held in his hand, as if it were a treasure to him, and seemed to understand something.
"The Sea Corpse Clan is made up of members of each clan who are resurrected in a unique way after death. Once you become a Sea Corpse Clan, you can only retain the remaining memories of your life."
"But the memory has no effect, because the sea corpse tribe is cruel in nature. The moment of resurrection is equivalent to cutting off the previous life. It is rare to retain the things that were nostalgic in life."
"If this bottle belongs to him, then this Sea Corpse Clan is really unusual. He actually kept something he had during his lifetime. The bottle should be his nostalgia and obsession."
"As for the voice in the bottle, maybe it was his child during his lifetime? But no matter what happened to him during his lifetime, he is already a member of the Sea Corpse Clan."
Ding Xue's tone was a little uncertain. It was obvious that she was not sure whether the truth was what she judged. After speaking, she looked at Xu Qing.
"It's not important anymore." Xu Qing shook his head, raised his right hand to grab it, and the bronze vial flew into his hand.
At this moment, the sound in the bottle also became completely weak, and after the last call came out, it completely disappeared.
Ding Xue glanced at Zhao Zhongheng. It would have been difficult for anyone else to understand the meaning of this look, but Zhao Zhongheng understood it and immediately stepped forward to rummage through the body of the Sea Corpse Clan without any hesitation.
Quickly finding a storage bag, the three of them left the secret passage.
The sound-catching bottle was covered by Xu Qing and put away.
Ding Xue informed the sect of the discovery here, which was considered to have completed the task. As for the items in the storage bag, there were not many, most of them were miscellaneous items. There were no magic weapons or jade talismans, and they were obviously all used up.
There are hundreds of spiritual stones, and there are three or five spiritual tickets. I don’t know if it’s because I’m poor, or because I have somewhere else to hide them.
Xu Qing glanced at it and took the sound-catching bottle, but didn't ask for the rest.
Xu Qing didn't know what use this bottle would have in the future, but the object itself was very strange, and Xu Qing felt that it still had some value.
Zhao Zhongheng and Ding Xue were both from wealthy families, and they didn't care much about the contents of the storage bags, but they still divided them. After all, it was still a gain.
In this way, as the matter in the secret room was reported to Ding Xue, the matter came to an end, and other disciples of the sect would then handle the follow-up matters.
Time also passed quickly. As Ding Xue became more and more depressed due to the appearance of Zhao Zhongheng, the one-month mission deadline came. As Xu Qing said goodbye and left, Ding Xue felt extremely regretful and caught up to care about him.
"Senior Brother Xu, you must be careful when there is danger on the front line. Your own safety is the most important thing."
"My cultivation level is weak and I don't have much I can do to you, but I will ask my aunt to take more care of you. If you encounter something that cannot be solved here, you can go to her directly."
"Also, Senior Brother Xu, thank you for your help during this time. I will definitely work harder to learn grass and trees and strive to join the Seven Sects Alliance as soon as possible. By then, I will be able to help Senior Brother with grass and trees."
Ding Xue looked serious, and then said something casually.
"As for the way of vegetation at the second peak of the Seven Blood Boys, it is actually a bit inferior. I will definitely be better than the disciples at the second peak in the future."
"Thank you. You should also take care of yourself. Come on." Xu Qing was a little emotional when he heard this. He could hear the sincerity in Ding Xue's words. In his heart, he felt that although Ding Xue had been a little thoughtful this month, he was generally a good person.
, and is very studious and studious. Xu Qing fully recognized this latter point.
As for her comment that the vegetation on the second peak was poor, Xu Qing had not had much contact with the second peak and could not comment, so he cupped his fists towards Ding Xue and turned around to leave.
Ding Xue reluctantly watched Xu Qing's back disappear from her eyes, then turned around and gave Zhao Zhongheng a sharp look, snorted coldly, and chose to leave Mermaid Island.
She knew very well that the front line was dangerous and her cultivation was not suitable for her to stay here.
Zhao Zhongheng looked at Ding Xue's graceful back with extremely firm eyes. He felt that his judgment was correct.
"Cultivation is not important in this matter. My sincerity and sincerity can trump everything! Xu Qing's cultivation is indeed better than mine, but he can leave as soon as he says, but I don't do that. I will always accompany my senior sister.
."
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhongheng took a deep breath and hurriedly followed, going back together despite Ding Xue's boredom.
As for Xu Qing, he did not leave the mermaid island.
After completing the task of protecting Ding Xue's path, he gained not only three disordered teleportation talismans, but also a decree given by the deputy peak master alone.
According to this decree, he can interrupt the front line to participate in the war on his own without applying, even during a mission.
Therefore, he has the right to return to the Seven Blood Boys Mountain Gate at any time. At the same time, his obligation to participate in the war is still there, but it has been changed from the front line to the rear.
In this way, his record and subsequent rewards from the war will not be reduced.
This gives him a strong sense of autonomy.
This kind of decree is difficult for even the Jindan elders to issue. Only high-level people at the peak master level have this qualification, so it is of great value.
Xu Qing knew very well that this was given to him by the deputy peak leader Ding Xue.
"This is a favor. I need to repay Ding Xue in the future." Xu Qing kept this in mind, took out the identity token and looked at the tasks inside.
He was not ready to leave immediately. Although it took him a month to protect Ding Xue and his war ranking dropped to more than seventy, Xu Qing felt that it would not be difficult to add him.
He wants to enter the top fifty and get the right to use the magic weapon projection once.
So in the following time, Xu Qing re-immersed himself in the state of accepting tasks, busy with one task after another every day, killing the sea corpse tribe, refining the sea corpse soul, and occasionally brushing the shadow.
Gradually, his ranking reached more than fifty, and he was not far away from obtaining the magic weapon projection. On this day... Xu Qing, who had just paid the task, was about to take on the next task. Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked down at himself.
of feet.
Then his eyes flashed with strange light, and his body disappeared in a flash. After arriving at a remote corner, Xu Qingdan spoke calmly.
"What are you going to say?" At that moment, the shadow conveyed some emotional fluctuations to him.
"Promotion...quiet...safety...breakthrough..." Shadow struggled to express.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
In this war with the Sea Corpse Clan, the shadow helped a lot. Now after devouring so many Sea Corpse Clan, it is finally about to break through, which makes Xu Qing full of expectations.
In fact, after he opened the life fire here, the shadow and the ancestors of the King Kong Sect obviously couldn't keep up with his pace. However, Xu Qing was still wary of the shadow and the ancestors of the King Kong Sect, especially the former.
At this moment, as the shadow conveyed the message of breaking through, the black iron sign on the side trembled slightly, and the ancestor of the Vajra Sect inside also quickly sent out his spiritual thoughts.
"Master, I'm about to tell you that I can break through here... I also need a quiet and safe environment, because... the method of weapon spirit that I practice is different from other messy breakthroughs.
It will cause thunder to wash away the soul!!"
"Once a small breakthrough is made, effects and combat power similar to the Xuan Yao state can be unleashed, making it invincible!"
The ancestor of the Vajra Sect spoke decisively, but deep down he was anxious.
In fact, he is still a little bit away from breaking through, but now he can't wait. He feels that once Shadow breaks through first, if he remains as he is now, his status will not be guaranteed. The most important thing is that he may be considered useless.
Once he is considered useless, he feels that there is a high probability that he will be thrown out as cannon fodder at some point...
So, he was ready to give it a try.
Xu Qing glanced at the black iron sign, then looked at the shadow, and made a decision in his heart.
