"Xiao Yuyan?"
Qin Shi softly murmured. His hands went around the top of his head and gently rubbed Xiao Yuyan's head. He smiled and said, "Be good. Big brother promises you that regardless of whether it was me or not, the villagers will not die in vain. I will definitely give you justice."
Looking at Qin Shi's big eyes blinking, the fear in Xiao Yuyan's eyes weakened a little. She asked softly, "Really?"
After comforting Xiao Yuyan, Qin Shi did not rush to respond. Instead, he endured the heavy heart and gradually calmed down.
He was silent for a while. He turned his head back and swept the corpses on the ground with the corner of his eyes. He felt that things were a little strange.
"This black gas is indeed full of killing intent. But if it was really done by an evil spirit, with his temperament, he would definitely not hide it. Moreover, he was seriously injured by the Collapsing Jade not long ago. It's impossible for him to recover so quickly. What is going on?"
After thinking for a while, Qin Shi raised his arm and waved it at the corpses on the ground, trying to recall the killing intent back into the totem.
Buzz buzz buzz!
But at this moment, the evil spirit totem on his arm trembled. It actually transmitted a strong sense of disgust and mania. The black gas on the corpses also trembled. Not only did it not fly toward Qin Shi, but it seemed to be frightened and floated back more than ten meters.
"Hmm?"
This strange scene made Qin Shi frown. "It's really strange. This killing intent is actually not under my control?"
Thinking of this, his brows relaxed a little and then he frowned again. "If this is the case, the tragic deaths of these villagers should not be done by the evil spirit. But if it really is not done by the evil spirit, is there a second person besides me who can control the evil spirit's killing intent?"
"Evil spirit, isn't there only one?"
Before the previous wave subsided, another wave arose. Qin Shi's heart was in a mess. In the end, he simply shook his head and stopped tormenting his brain cells.
He was not an indecisive person, but he was a person who would say what he wanted to say. For this reason, he put down all the puzzles in his heart and smiled at Xiao Yuyan. "Hmm, big brother promises you that I will definitely find the real culprit for you!"
"Hmm!"
After all, Xiao Yuyan was just a child. The haze in her heart dispersed, and she nodded happily.
At this time, Qi Hao was startled and recovered from the shock. He stepped forward to grab Qin Shi's wrist and coldly scolded, "Humph! Don't pretend to be a good person here. We'll know who the real culprit is when we return."
"I can walk by myself!"
Turning around, Qin Shi happened to see the corpses of the villagers under Artemisia's feet from the corner of his eyes, causing him to snort disdainfully and frown.
Qin Shi didn't have a good impression of Qi Hao and the others, but he didn't continue to struggle. Right now, he was only at the Spirit Sealing Realm. Even with his mental force, it would be too far-fetched for him to fight against 100 people.
"I'll go back with you first. But remember, there's a saying that it's easier to invite Buddha than to send him away. When the time comes, don't regret inviting me over!"
After hesitating for a moment, the corner of Qin Shi's mouth curled up in disdain. Then, he pushed Qi Hao away from the corpses on the ground. Only then did he turn around and walk out of the village.
Looking at Qin Shi's back, Qi Hao inexplicably became nervous.
"General, what should we do?"
The soldiers behind him were all at a loss. They were all frightened by the terror Qin Shi had shown earlier.
Qi Hao returned to his senses and gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression. He immediately raised his hand and called out, "Watch him. Bring him back to the prison first. At that time, no matter how powerful he is, he won't be able to act wildly."
"Yes."
A few soldiers answered and ran more than 10 meters away from Qin Shi. They deliberately kept some distance from him, as if they were afraid that Qin Shi would attack them.
At the sight of this, Qin Shi sneered in disdain. He didn't say anything else and followed them out of the village. Finally, he turned back to look at Xiao Yuyan and silently made a decision in his heart.
After leaving the village, Qi Hao led a hundred soldiers and brought Qin Shi to a deserted ruin.
The ruin was extremely dilapidated and was surrounded by dust and gravel.
Under the ruin, there was a prison.
Clang!
There was a loud noise in the prison and Qin Shi was thrown into a huge cage by Qi Hao. The cage was damp, cold and incomparably dark.
"Stay here obediently!"
Artemisia Artemisia clapped his hands and threatened Qin Shi. Then, he turned around and left.
Looking at Qi Hao disappearing into the darkness, Qin Shi didn't get angry. Instead, he looked around and raised the corner of his mouth and laughed, "Hehe, this place isn't bad. It's suitable for me to recover my spiritual energy."
As soon as he said that, Qin Shi sat down calmly and began to adjust the injuries in his body.
He was afraid that the only person left on this mainland who could sit in the prison and still cultivate happily was Qin Shi, the weirdo.
In response, a series of sighs came from the pitch-black corner.
"Hey, look, there's a newcomer."
"This person is really interesting. He's about to die but he's still in the mood to cultivate?
I wonder what he did to get caught. "
Hearing the bustling and intermittent sounds, Qin Shi, who had just closed his eyes, was startled. His black eyes looked in the direction of the sound.
He saw that in addition to him, there were dozens of criminals in prison uniforms in this cage.
This group of people had messy hair and dirty faces. Each of them was as thin as a match and no longer looked like a human. They looked at Qin Shi as if they were looking at a monster.
After thinking for a while, Qin Shi didn't respond. He closed his eyes again and began to circulate his spiritual energy.
After looking at the injuries in his body, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, if I want to completely recover from this miserable state, I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to do so without two to three months."
The thin spiritual energy flowed around and Qin Shi found that all of his internal organs were out of place. His nine spiritual meridians were broken and full of wounds.
The spiritual power crystal core in his dantian was dim and a little black. It had long lost the dazzling light it used to have. It felt like a lamp that had run out of oil.
"Sweet Pouring Rain Method!"
Circulating his spirit energy, the spirit energy first began to move through the nine spirit veins. This spirit energy was very gentle and gentle, bringing with it traces of warmth that flowed through his body.
Time flew by slowly. In the dark prison, Qin Shi sat like this for a whole three days without eating or drinking.
Three days later, when the jailer delivered food to the prisoners, Qin Shi slowly opened his eyes. There was a flash of clarity in his deep, black eyes. "Have all my hidden injuries finally recovered?"
After three days, the nine Spiritual Veins were bathed in the Sweet Pouring Rain Dew Mantra and the wounds that were riddled with wounds were finally healed. The dislocated organs were also gradually being corrected.
But even so, the spirit force in his body was still very weak. It was only at the mid stage of the Spirit Sealing Realm, which made him feel very helpless.
The accumulation of spirit force was not like external and internal injuries, which could be rushed. It could only be slowly accumulated over a long period of time.
But even so, Qin Shi was already very satisfied. Feeling the comfort in his body, he couldn't help but be moved. "Hehe, it's all thanks to the Sweet Pouring Rain Method and the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique that I was able to recover so quickly …"
Sweet Pouring Rain Method and Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique.
These two auxiliary martial arts were really too powerful. There was no need to mention the Sweet Torrential Rain Dew Technique. That kind of superb healing ability was simply amazing.
If the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique didn't change Qin Shi's body, he would have died hundreds of times already.
In terms of body, the current Qin Shi could definitely fight against an ordinary Mysterious Spirit Realm cultivator.
Right now, his skin and meridians were all refined by the essence blood of the Golden Phoenix. He had already completely mastered the first and second layers, and he could immediately start on the third layer.
The power of the first two layers made Qin Shi even more eager to cultivate the third layer. He clenched his fists and felt the power of his body. He couldn't help but excitedly say, "When I leave this damned place, I must find the skeleton of a powerful desolate beast and cultivate the third layer of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Technique: Bone Refining!"
While thinking excitedly, he looked at the food the jailer had delivered. The three days of cultivation had consumed a large amount of energy, and now his stomach felt a bit empty.
Eh?
Unexpectedly, just as he turned his head, he saw a skinny young man tiptoeing towards his portion of food.
The youth's face was covered in dirt, and his eyes were like those of a hungry wolf as he reached out from his prison uniform to grab the food.
Pa!
Before the youth could grab the food, a slender hand reached out and grabbed the youth's wrist, causing the youth to jump in fright. He howled, "Oh my, there's a ghost!"
As soon as he grabbed the youth, Qin Shi was also startled by the sudden roar before he could say anything. When he came back to his senses, he helplessly patted the youth and said, "Look carefully, who's the ghost?"
"You, you, you, it's you?"
Hearing this, the youth looked at Qin Shi through his messy hair. The corner of his eyes twitched a few times, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He looked even scarier than if he had seen a ghost.
"Do I look scary?
I'm not a ghost. "
The youth's strange behavior caused Qin Shi to be puzzled. He subconsciously touched his face. He admitted that he wasn't a pretty boy like Lin Yu, but he could definitely be considered handsome and suave.
Ptui!
Handsome or not, that was for women. What did it have to do with this stinking brat?
Qin Shi shook his head with all his might, throwing these dirty thoughts out of his mind.
"You, you're scarier than a ghost!"
The youth trembled as he raised his butt and rubbed it against the ground.
Hearing this, Qin Shi's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly became cold and pressed the youth down. "Come here, explain it to me clearly!"
"No, no, you're not a ghost to scare people!"
"…" Qin Shi was speechless. This stinking brat was simply a hothead, the kind that couldn't even speak clearly.
Seeing that Qin Shi didn't speak, the terrified youth slowly calmed down. Soon after, he tiptoed to Qin Shi's side and carefully looked at Qin Shi from head to toe as if he was looking at a monster. Then, he frowned.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Shi asked helplessly.
The youth ignored Qin Shi and fiddled with Qin Shi's head, arms, and legs. In the end, he opened his mouth wide and shouted in astonishment, "That's strange. You have a head, arms, and legs. You should be a human. Why aren't you doing human things?"
Qin Shi, who had just calmed down, suddenly had the urge to kill someone.
"Do you want to die?"
"No, no, no!"
The youth shook his head like a rattle drum. He laughed dryly at Qin Shi. "I don't want to die. The one who wants to die should be you, right?
You're already in the prison, but you still have the mood to cultivate?
I always thought you weren't a human. "
Only after hearing those words did Qin Shi suddenly understand what was happening. Shortly after, his pitch-black gaze shot into the ice-cold corner beside him. He saw that the prisoners in the corner were all using the same gaze as the young man to stare at him.
This caused him to twitch a little awkwardly.
However, at this moment, a few black shadows came around the corner. One of them was different from the others. He was tall and strong.
Bang!
He walked behind the youth and lifted his leg to kick the youth's back. The kick made him roll on the ground and hit the bars of the prison.
