YM778.TV Chapter 71 Cause And Effect (3)
Back then, when he was in this ruined city, he followed the trail of the flying bird and discovered two safe shelters. One was his stone cave and the other... was this gap!
This gap was also the place where he had obtained the cultivation art from the city lord\'s residence. After his chest was heavily injured, he dodged the mutated beasts\' pursuit.
However, this place was too close to the city lord\'s residence, so Xu Qing didn\'t choose this place as a temporary residence back then.
Under the calamity when the gods opened their eyes, it was difficult for all living beings to escape destruction. Only the birds... For some reason, most of them survived.
At the same time, they seemed to be able to find some locations instinctively. Although it wasn\'t absolutely safe, it was like a blind spot and it was easy for mutated beasts and bizarre creatures to overlook it.
Of course, this was only relative. If the King Kong Sect\'s ancestor wasn\'t here to attract his attention, then Xu Qing\'s actions earlier would be akin to courting death.
At that moment, when he saw the sorry state of the Sect\'s ancestor and noticed the gigantic figure struggling to climb out of the giant pit in the city lord\'s residence, Xu Qing also took a deep breath. However, he quickly gritted his teeth and rushed out with a sway of his body, throwing the black pill toward the Sect\'s ancestor who was being chased in the distance.
He threw out another ten-odd pills in one go.
The black pills landed on the ground and exploded one after another. The anomalous substances here were already astonishingly dense. At that moment, as the black pills exploded, they seemed to have broken through a certain critical point.
In the blink of an eye, all the malicious gazes that had gathered on Xu Qing after he left the spatial rift shifted away. All of them looked toward the area with denser anomalous substances. At the same time, at many locations in the city, regardless of whether it was mutated beasts or bizarre creatures, they all stopped and looked over in unison.
At the next moment, he sped off!
He let out an extremely furious roar. At the same time, Xu Qing didn\'t even turn his head as he crouched down and sprinted. He wanted to make use of the opportunity when the mutated beasts and bizarre creatures were attracted by the anomalous substances to flee at full speed.
The King Kong Sect\'s ancestor also wanted to flee but those winged figures were entangled with him. Even if he wanted to retreat, he would inevitably be slowed down. At that moment, anxiety filled his heart. The hatred in his heart for Xu Qing was incomparably intense.
At that moment, Xu Qing\'s speed was getting faster and faster on the streets in the distance. Just as he was about to head in the direction of the city wall after pulling away from the city lord\'s residence, a cold and sinister aura gushed over him.
In front of him, the sound of crying echoed. A faceless woman in a white dress walked over from afar.
At the first glance, the other party was still far away. However, at a second glance, this strange figure had already appeared in front of Xu Qing.
It was so fast that Xu Qing couldn\'t dodge at all. At that moment, his breathing was hurried and his pupils contracted. His body was instantly covered in ice and his mind instantly went blank as though it was frozen.
As for the faceless woman who was walking over, densely-packed faces rapidly appeared on her body. All of them were crying mournfully and their cries transmitted into Xu Qing\'s mind, transforming into fluctuations. This caused Xu Qing\'s expression to be affected and change uncontrollably. He was about to cry like those faces.
However, at that moment... a portion of the faceless men\'s faces suddenly stopped crying. They looked at Xu Qing listlessly and their expressions gradually changed. They slowly revealed a smile and opened their mouths as though they were saying something but no sound came out.
Very soon, more and more faces stopped crying. In the end, almost half of the faces of the faceless woman in the white dress stopped crying. They all looked at Xu Qing and revealed smiles, their expressions turning gentle.
Their lips moved slightly as though they were speaking softly, saying two words that no one else could hear.
As they smiled and mouthed the words, Xu Qing was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the many faces on the giant faceless woman.
Before he could see it clearly, the faceless woman in the white dress moved her body away and walked past him. After she was far away, the sound of crying echoed again...
Xu Qing\'s stiff body also recovered at this moment. His breathing hastened as he turned his head abruptly. He stared blankly at the faceless woman in the white dress who was walking further and further away. Her white figure was like a ball of burning fire in the dark night...
Earlier, those smiling faces... Xu Qing found them very familiar.
It was as though he knew them...
This was especially so for one of them. He recalled that it was the old man from the medicine shop whom he had carried and burned to allow him to rest in peace.
Xu Qing was silent. He looked at the departing figure and vaguely understood something. After a long time, he lowered his head and bowed deeply as he muttered softly.
"Thank you."
Those smiling faces from before also said the same word.
"Thank you."
