Eat Little Almonds
Chapter 554 Jing Beast
Heaven never fails those who work hard; after lurking in the Corpse Mountain for so long, they finally succeeded in ambushing a Jing beast with cyan jade in its body.
However, they were not overwhelmed by surprise.
Xing Luohao put away the cyan jade and looked towards the direction where Qiao Yu was hiding.
"Friend hiding over there, don't hide, how about coming out for a chat?"
Qiao Yu wasn't surprised at all. Xing Luohao and the others had practically watched him hide, so it wasn't strange that they knew his approximate location.
Qiao Yu walked out of the shadows.
"Hello, big brothers, big sisters." Qiao Yu greeted them with a smile.
However, Xing Luohao and the others did not let their guard down just because Qiao Yu was alone.
On the contrary, when the chubby girl saw Qiao Yu's face, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Looks are always a resource, and a scarce one at that.
Qiao Yu's appearance was completely to Xiao Zhen's taste, which made Xiao Zhen's heart flutter.
"Hello, handsome little brother, what's your name?" Xiao Zhen's small eyes lit up.
"My name is Ma Fei, you can call me Fei Fei." Qiao Yu gave a very sunny smile.
"Fei Fei! What a nice name, how did you end up here?" Xiao Zhen couldn't help but ask.
Qiao Yu spread his hands, looking helpless.
"I don't know either, I accidentally fell in here. By the way, what is this place? It's too scary!"
"Accidentally fell in? Then you're too unlucky!" Xiao Zhen shook her head regretfully. "How about this, you follow us, and we'll take you out of here."
"A Zhen!" Upon hearing Xiao Zhen's words, the little fatty Long Qiang frowned instantly. "This kid's background is unknown, we can't take him with us!"
"Oh, A Qiang, it's okay. Besides, people above the Huang realm can't enter Corpse Mountain at all, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Zhen stared at Qiao Yu's face with infatuation, dismissing Long Qiang's opposition.
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade Xiao Zhen, Long Qiang could only turn his pleading gaze to Xing Luohao.
"Brother Hao..."
Xing Luohao also hesitated. If this strange man really just accidentally fell into Corpse Mountain, then taking him out would be fine.
But what if this guy had ulterior motives? Xing Luohao had to be cautious.
"Ma Fei, right? It's okay to take you with us, but you must walk at the very front of our team, is that okay?" Xing Luohao asked.
"No problem!" Qiao Yu agreed readily. "I'm already grateful that you're willing to take me with you, of course I have to do something for you."
"Okay."
Xing Luohao nodded and didn't say anything more. He was willing to take Qiao Yu with him purely because his strong strength gave him confidence.
As a genius of the Xing family, Xing Luohao was confident that he feared no one below the Sheng realm.
Qiao Yu walked to the front of the team without hesitation. At this time, the four people had different expressions.
Xing Luohao and the beautiful woman both had indifferent expressions, Long Qiang looked at Qiao Yu with some dissatisfaction, while Xiao Zhen had a infatuated look on her face.
Seeing Qiao Yu walk to the front, Xiao Zhen hurriedly ran over.
This was exactly what Qiao Yu wanted. He wanted to figure out how living people could enter the world of the undead, and what the beast they killed and the jade were.
Along the way, Xiao Zhen kept chattering in Qiao Yu's ear like a talking landmine.
Before Qiao Yu even had time to ask any questions, Xiao Zhen had almost told him all the information.
However, what frightened Qiao Yu was that Xiao Zhen would lean on him from time to time, and would intentionally or unintentionally reach out and touch him.
Qiao Yu suppressed the urge to take out the Zhulong Yanyue Blade and chop her, and patiently listened to the news about Corpse Mountain.
After some sorting, Qiao Yu finally understood what this place was all about.
The beast that Xing Luohao and the others had just killed was called Jing. Since birth, the Jing had stayed in Corpse Mountain, drinking corpse water and eating the fruits of the corpse forest to absorb nutrients.
As the Jing grew, consuming corpse-related things for a long time, a large amount of corpse poison would naturally accumulate in their bodies.
Once the amount of corpse poison exceeded the critical value, the Jing would die from the corpse poison.
In order to resolve the corpse poison, the Jing would rely on its talent to find a mineral in Corpse Mountain called cyan jade!
Cyan jade could be described as a treasure of the human world. In addition to resolving corpse poison, it could also be used as a material to become stronger, and could resolve all kinds of poisons in the world.
Therefore, although cyan jade grew in the terrifying Corpse Mountain, many people still disregarded their lives to seek it.
And the easiest way to obtain cyan jade was to kill the Jing beast.
Because after the cyan jade was eaten into the Jing beast's stomach, it would grow on its intestinal wall.
Each Jing beast would eat at least one piece of cyan jade a year, otherwise it would die from poisoning.
Like the annual rings of trees, people could also judge the age of the Jing beast based on the number of cyan jade in its stomach.
Xing Luohao and his party had come for the cyan jade.
From Xiao Zhen's mouth, Qiao Yu also found out the name of the beauty. Her name was Xing Luoshuang, and she and Xing Luohao were siblings.
The reason why they were all in the Huang realm was because Sheng realm beings and above would cause a riot in Corpse Mountain as soon as they entered!
Countless terrifying monsters would come to besiege them.
After understanding the general situation, Qiao Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly distanced himself from Xiao Zhen.
This woman was too scary, the way she looked at him was almost seductive.
Qiao Yu wasn't Beta, how could he be interested in driving a tank?
While Qiao Yu thought so, some people didn't think so. Long Qiang looked at Qiao Yu and Xiao Zhen, who were talking and laughing in front, and his expression was distorted with anger.
He was Xiao Zhen's real boyfriend!
But now, his girlfriend was chatting enthusiastically with another man, and from time to time Xiao Zhen would suddenly laugh, her fat jiggling.
Finally, when Xing Luohao announced that they would stop to rest for a while, Long Qiang couldn't bear it any longer and walked straight towards Qiao Yu.
Xiao Zhen happened to be away at this time, so Long Qiang didn't have any scruples and asked Qiao Yu in a bad tone.
"Hey buddy, I see you're chatting with my girl pretty well."
"Ah?" Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment, and then explained. "No, I'm just not familiar with this place, Xiao Zhen just explained the situation of Corpse Mountain to me."
"Oh? Not familiar..." Long Qiang said with a fake smile, "Then why didn't you ask me? I think you're clearly interested in my A Zhen, right?"
Qiao Yu was immediately surprised and speechless.
"No, your name is Long Qiang, right? You can doubt my character, but you can't doubt my taste! I wouldn't dare to take your girl even if you gave her to me for free!"
Long Qiang stood up with a whoosh and looked at Qiao Yu fiercely.
"What do you mean by that? Are you looking for trouble?"
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes directly.
"No, your girl's head looks like a braised pork hock, and her figure is like a cannon barrel. Only you, you're really not picky! And you're still suspecting me?"
"I'm not saying this, but if you went to a certain place, then the Giant Lizard wouldn't have been ravaged by four people, it would have become five!"
