Chapter 7 Please Eat

When Xu Qing was observing the environment of the fighting area, following the clamor from the surrounding seats, in the Colosseum, at the gate that Xu Qing and his party had just passed by, a huge wooden door fell down with a bang.

It hit the ground heavily, kicking up dust.

This sound seemed to blow 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 in a brocade robe, accompanied by a group of people, sitting at the top.

Because of the distance, the appearance is a bit blurred.

But obviously this person's identity is unusual.

With such a long distance, Xu Qing could feel that the spiritual fluctuations in the opponent's body were extremely strong, surpassing anything he had ever seen.

This made Xu Qing vigilant, but at the same time, he also had a guess in his heart. There is a high probability that this person is the owner of this camp.

Because by the other party's side, Xu Qing saw the three-legged Hu from yesterday hunched over, and seemed to be reporting carefully.

And as the battalion owner took his seat, the Sanjihu stood on the high platform and gestured downward.

Soon, another wooden door opened on the edge of the Colosseum, and the howling and roaring of ferocious beasts could be heard more clearly without the obstruction of the wooden door.

Following the sound came a group of scavengers.

They were divided into four teams, with three people in each team, each carrying a huge iron cage, and walked out slowly.

Inside the iron cage, the ferocious beast roared and jumped around, as if it wanted to tear the cage open.

Xu Qing looked quickly and swept across the four iron cages.

He saw two giant wolves inside, one big and one small, but they both had sharp teeth, their bodies were pitch black, and their eyes were bloodshot.

There was also a lot of saliva from the corner of his mouth, and when he looked at Xu Qing and the other five, they all showed ferocious intentions.

There is also a red-haired red bear with thick arms that exceed the thighs of an adult, with a violent expression on his face, shaking the iron cage constantly.

The three scavengers who carried it up were all struggling.

As for the ferocious beast in the last iron cage, its aura was obviously much weaker.

It was a gibbon.

The whole body is covered with pustules, which seem to burst open at the slightest touch. In particular, it seems to be in pain, and it keeps hitting the iron cage, causing the pustules to shatter continuously, which is shocking.

Their appearance made the surrounding audience boil again.

The faces of the two teenagers beside Xu Qing paled instantly, and the little girl's eyes were also full of horror. Even the young man who was a scavenger was visibly nervous at this moment.

"Why are there four?" Xu Qing was surprised, looking at the open wooden door passage.

The moment he looked at it, the four roaring and struggling beasts suddenly quieted down instantly, 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.

With the appearance of the iron cage, there were exclamations from the audience around.

"Giant horned python!!"

"This time the camp owner actually got a giant horned python, but it's true. In the eyes of the camp owner, this thing is not worth much."

"For these little brats, whoever draws this thing will die. Even if we encounter it in the wild, it will take two people desperately to kill it."

The ferocious beast in the iron cage was a huge python.

The thickness of its body is comparable to the waist of an adult, and its whole body is gray and black with dark lines. If you look closely, the dark lines seem to depict horn-like peaks.

It was coiled in the cage motionless, its huge head lifted slightly, and its vertical yellow pupils looked coldly towards the outside world.

Under its gaze, both the giant wolf and the gibbon trembled.

Only the red bear let out a low growl when it was stimulated, seemingly resisting, but in fact its body was slowly retreating until it reached the edge of the cage it was in.

"Don't get it, don't get it..."

Behind Xu Qing, the two teenagers were trembling at the moment, and when they were praying in a low voice, Xu Qing's eyes flashed brightly.

He knew this giant horned python. When he was in the slums, he saw the dead python brought back from hunting by people in the city.

At that time, I also heard from people with rich experience around me that this python is very powerful, once it is entangled by it, the giant tree will be strangled by it, and the python's skin is very thick.

But the body is clumsy and the speed is relatively slow.

And its gallbladder has good medicinal properties, which can dissolve the pollution of the body to a certain extent, and the snake meat is also very nourishing.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing thought that Captain Lei once said that he likes to eat snakes.

As for snakes, he had caught many snakes when he was a child, so he licked his lips.

In addition, the alienation points on his body became darker and darker with the practice, and there was a faint tingling feeling when he practiced yesterday.

Xu Qing thought that if he could eat the gall of this python, it would relieve a lot of it.

As he stared at the python, the draw began.

The scavengers arranged by Sanjihu came with five bamboo sticks, and each bamboo stick was marked with the name of the beast to be fought.

The young man was the first to draw it. After seeing what he had drawn, he was obviously relieved.

Then came the two teenagers and the little girl.

After the first two took out the bamboo sticks during the prayer, they both looked a bit bitter, but the little girl looked at the bamboo sticks in her hands, showing despair in her eyes.

The one she drew was the giant horned python, and the last stick left was the little wolf, which was obviously the weakest among the five beasts.

Holding the bamboo stick, Xu Qing frowned slightly and pondered.

Soon, after the scavengers withdrew and the testers were simply stopped in the corner, amid the cheers of the spectators, the first trial began.

The one who arranged to appear was one of the two teenagers.

He walked out tremblingly, and the fierce beast he fought was the thick red bear.

The process of the battle was very fast, the boy was no match for the red bear at all, after struggling a few times, he was thrown down by the red bear, and his body was directly torn apart in despair.

Blood splattered everywhere, ushered in the surrounding boiling, accompanied by remorseful curses.

This scene frightened the other boy so much that his body trembled unceasingly. He, who was supposed to be the second to play, suddenly shouted to give up the trial.

So amidst the boos, Xu Qing watched the young man being taken away by scavengers, and he didn't want to know what the result would be.

The third one is the young man who was originally a scavenger.

What he drew was the bigger black wolf. His experience as a scavenger made him more ruthless than ordinary people.

After a thrilling life-and-death struggle, he killed the wolf with his injuries and panting, becoming the first successful person in this trial.

The door opened, he clutched his chest, and left freely.

The fourth...is a little girl.

When the iron prison where the giant horned python was held was opened, the little girl gritted her teeth tremblingly, and was about to walk past Xu Qing to meet him in despair.

But at this moment, Xu Qing suddenly spoke.

"Let's change it."

The little girl was taken aback, and before she could react, Xu Qing had already replaced her bamboo stick with her.

After taking away the bamboo stick engraved with the giant horned python, he ignored the little girl's grateful eyes and walked towards the giant horned python.

As they entered, the scavengers who were watching around obviously saw the order before, and they all booed at this moment.

But other than those who bet on him and the little girl, others would not care about this kind of thing, they would not, and neither would the camp owner, everything was left to its own accord.

In the Colosseum, Xu Qing calmly walked towards the iron cage. The giant horned python inside looked at Xu Qing coldly, and slowly crawled out.

When the thick body leaned out of the iron cage, the scales scraped across the iron rods of the cage, making a piercing friction sound.

The animal's instinct made it realize that the young man in front of him was somewhat different from the prey it usually encountered.

So after climbing out, the giant horned python did not launch an attack immediately, but coiled up outside the iron cage, with its head raised high, with vigilance, staring at Xu Qing who was constantly approaching.

This scene aroused the interest of the surrounding audience, and the booing became less.

Xu Qing looked as usual, approaching step by step, maybe he walked into the attack range of the giant horned python, or maybe he was stimulated by his breath, the coldness in the yellow pupils of the giant horned python was instantly strong, and the tail slammed on the ground Knock on the ground, and there is a roaring sound.

Amidst the sound, his body rushed out with force, his mouth opened in mid-air, his sharp teeth were exposed, and an unpleasant stench was released, roaring towards Xu Qing, trying to devour him.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the approaching giant horned python. At the moment the opponent approached, he swayed away, did not choose to take advantage of the opportunity, let alone pay attention to the huge python head passing by, but With sharp eyes, like a hunter, he watched the python's abdomen closely.

During his observation, the giant horned python flew into the air, let out a low growl, twisted its body, and immediately swung its tail violently behind, making a piercing whistling sound, and lashed towards Xu Qing fiercely.

The hunting instinct made the giant horned python's head turn forcibly at this moment, back and forth with the tail, like a circle that was going to be connected together, and went straight to Xu Qing, as if to wrap him up.

Xu Qing was silent, his eyes were still observing the abdomen of the giant horned python, until the snake's tail was approaching, his right hand suddenly clenched his fist, and the moment the snake's tail was drawn, he punched it.

boom.

Although the practice of Sea Mountain Jue is only one level, it can bring Xu Qing physical blessings, which is still not small. At this moment, the tail of the snake was bombarded and rolled back directly, making it impossible to connect the head and tail, and the giant horned python was obviously in pain, but it was not fatal. The pain caused it to become more vicious, its eyes were red, its head hit hard, and it bit Xu Qing.

But Xu Qing's eyes were fixed, and there was a flash of energy. He finally found the place he was looking for. At this moment, his body took a step forward, not retreating but advancing, and directly approached the upper middle area of ​​the giant horned python's body.

Clenched a fist with his right hand and punched hard, one punch, two punches, three punches...

Fist and bombardment.

The impact force from Xu Qing made the giant horned python keep backing up, roaring more intensely, trying to wrap Xu Qing around, but the power contained in Xu Qing's fist made it difficult to touch its head and tail.

As for the abdomen that was bombarded, because the scales were relatively weak, after a few punches, Xu Qing beat it to pieces, with blood oozing out and its toughness damaged.

Seeing this, before the giant horned python changed its shape, Xu Qing's eyes flashed coldly.

He immediately pulled out the dagger tied to his calf with his left hand, and with the dagger shining coldly, it pierced the giant horned python's flesh and blood with incomparable swiftness.

Breaking through in an instant, he made a fierce move.

Blood splashed everywhere, and amidst the shrill hiss of the giant horned python, a shocking wound was opened on its abdomen, exposing the snake gall in the cavity.

This snake is very large, but it is obviously mutated. The snake's gallbladder is very small, like an egg.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing raised his right hand and penetrated into the cavity, grabbed the gall and pulled it hard, and took out the gall with the giant horned python's screaming.

Blood sprayed and sand fell.

Ignoring the bloodstains, Xu Qing took the snake gall, with strange lights in his eyes, put it in his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp in front of scavengers with different expressions around him.

While swallowing calmly, the giant horned python, which had been taken alive, struggled crazily in pain, screamed and slammed, and slapped the ground vigorously to stir up dust, as if wanting to vent its severe pain.

The head slammed into Xu Qing violently, the red eyes revealed madness, and the mouth opened to the extreme, as if to swallow Xu Qing completely.

Xu Qing looked coldly, and at the moment when the opponent was approaching, his body suddenly jumped up, and after avoiding the head that hit him again, he was in mid-air, and with a wave of his right hand, a black iron stick suddenly appeared.

As he lowered his head, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and his body sank heavily. With the help of his own strength, speed, and weight, he maximized the impact of the iron stick, and stabbed fiercely along the snake's heart area.

Smashing the scales of the snake, like a broken bamboo, stabs in with one blow.

With a bang, the whole body of the giant horned python trembled violently, as if it had lost the strength to support its body, its head and tail landed heavily, and the shrill hissing also stopped abruptly at this moment, only the sound of its tail slapping feebly on the ground spread around.

After a long 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 pulling the iron stick from the snake corpse at the moment.

If adults killed the giant horned python like this, they wouldn't make them look like this.

But a small, skinny child could swallow the guts of a snake so cleanly and kill him with another 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 side cage were obviously also frightened, and they were trembling there at the moment.

This seemed to be less a trial than a hunt.

Under the gaze of everyone around him, the boy put the iron stick away, clasped the 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 a red line, which was shocking.

Next to the gate, the giant gate has not been opened yet, Xu Qing turned to look at the high platform.

It wasn't long before the three beards on the high platform reacted. With some lingering fear, he immediately gestured, and soon... the door opened with a bang.

Leaving out the door, leaning against the wall with his arms folded, the long-awaited Thunder Team.

He smiled and looked at Xu Qing.

"Can I stay at your place?" Xu Qing dragged the snake corpse and looked up at Team Lei.

"Okay." Team Lei smiled.

Xu Qing nodded, and threw the snake corpse in his hand.

"You like to eat snakes, please eat this."

Lei Dui was startled, then laughed loudly, took the giant-horned python corpse, and in the laughter, led Xu Qing away gradually.

It wasn't until they walked away that there was a boiling uproar in the Colosseum.

And amidst the uproar, in the corner of the crowd, there was an old man in a purple robe, followed by a middle-aged man with an expressionless face like a servant. There was a totem of a five-pointed star between the middle-aged man's eyebrows.

They sat there, obviously no matter their clothes or demeanor, they were out of tune with the surrounding environment, 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 complexion was rosy, and there was thunder in his eyes, as if dispersing it could destroy everything. He was extremely extraordinary. At this moment, he was sitting there, looking at Xu Qingyuan's disappearing figure, and couldn't help laughing.

"This boy is interesting."
