The massive body of the Green Poison Beast squeezed through the narrow doorframe, its scales crushing the doorframe to pieces!
"Roar~" It let out a furious roar that shook the house.
The three guards in the room on the right were so frightened they hid and dared not move.
"Bang! Bang! Bang~" The giant Green Poison Beast made its way directly into the left room where Qin Ming was hiding.
Upon spotting Qin Ming, the beast went berserk, charging at him.
Its blood-red, cavernous mouth opened, and its teeth were half a foot long.
[Warning: Danger level increased by 80%! During this period, the rate of luck point accumulation is increased by 80%!]
Qin Ming had never encountered such a dangerous situation before. He quickly activated the mysterious Turtle Breathing Secret Technique, retreating two steps. He pushed off the wall with his feet, his body moving swiftly above the Green Poison Beast's head.
With the combination of his Hidden Talent and Turtle Breathing Secret Technique, Qin Ming's movement speed was exceptionally agile.
He threw a punch at the Green Poison Beast's back.
"Bang!"
Damn it! The beast's scales were as hard as iron. His punch couldn't even make a dent.
Qin Ming quickly rushed out the door.
However! The Green Poison Beast smashed through the window and blocked Qin Ming's path again with its enormous body.
Its bloodstained mouth opened wide, rushing toward Qin Ming's neck to bite him.
Qin Ming tightened his fist and prepared to use the Ice Soul Fist to fight back.
Suddenly! A cyan figure dropped from the sky.
Her face was breathtakingly beautiful and cold, holding a black iron long sword, which she swung down directly.
"Whoosh~ Sizzle!"
The four-meter-long Green Poison Beast's head was cleaved in two.
The nauseating, bloody scent drenched Qin Ming.
The woman in cyan had a powerful aura, her cultivation appearing to be at least in the Spirit Communion Realm!
At that moment, the three guards from the other room rushed out, brandishing their swords.
"She's a time traveler! Kill her!"
"Damn time traveler, daring to expose herself!"
However, the woman in cyan remained indifferent, and with a swift motion of her hand, the black iron sword whizzed through the air.
The blade flashed, and blood spurted.
The heads of the three guards flew off simultaneously.
Qin Ming had not yet recovered from his shock when the cold, black sword was suddenly swung toward his neck.
Qin Ming quickly took two steps back and raised his hands.
"Stop, stop, stop! You must be Qing Xuan, right? Or do you know her?"
The woman's cold, sharp eyes flickered with a hint of doubt. She waved her arm, and the long black sword rested on Qin Ming's shoulder.
"Who are you?"
"First tell me, are you Qing Xuan?"
The woman's face grew even colder.
"If you don't answer, then die!" She suddenly exerted force on the black sword.
Sigh! Why do I always run into crazy women?!
Qin Ming quickly reached out and grabbed the sword.
"Stop, stop, stop! I'm here looking for Qing Xuan. It's her master's uncle, Mu Sizhe, who sent me!"
Just as the woman in cyan furrowed her brows, Qin Ming took out the green jade pendant from his sleeve.
On the back of the jade pendant was a carved simplified character for "fire."
The woman in cyan carefully examined the jade pendant in her hand. Her expression turned to one of surprise.
"You've met my master's uncle?"
"I have!"
"Wait." Qing Xuan held the jade pendant, her gaze once again becoming serious.
"How can I be sure you're a time traveler?"
Qin Ming helplessly shrugged and said, "I'm naturally a time traveler. Have you ever heard of Ai? The native inhabitants have no idea about this!"
Qing Xuan looked confused, shaking her head.
"I've never heard of it!"
"How about Lagrange? Surely you've heard of that?"
"Never heard of it!"
"Then, how about 'gan fan ren' (a term for a person focused on eating) or 'da gong ren' (workers)? And '996' (a work schedule of 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week)?"
"Never heard of it!"
Qin Ming pushed Qing Xuan's sword aside.
"You're still doubting me? I'm starting to wonder if you are a time traveler!"
"I am! But I don't understand the things you're talking about. I'm from the Min Kingdom."
Qin Ming: |ʘᗝʘ|
At that moment, he realized that the time travelers in this world were not only from modern Blue Star but also from other eras. How strange!
Qing Xuan raised her black iron sword again, pointing it at Qin Ming.
"You've asked me your questions, now it's my turn to ask you. Why should I trust you?"
"Look, can you please lower your sword? It's very sharp. What if you accidentally cut someone? It was your master's uncle who sent me to find you. Without this jade pendant, how could I possibly know your name?"
Then, Qin Ming briefly told Qing Xuan about the interrogation in the Demon Suppression Tower.
Qing Xuan sheathed her black iron sword, clearly now believing what Qin Ming had said.
"Your master's uncle asked me to ask you: What's the enmity between the time travelers and the native inhabitants?"
"This hatred has lasted for a thousand years. I can't explain the specifics! If you want to know more, you'll have to ask my master."
"Your master? Who are you?"
"We're the Five Elements Alliance, an organization of time travelers."
"Then Qing Xuan, did your master's uncle say that the native inhabitants of this world are beasts? Is that true?"
"What my master's uncle said is, of course, correct!"
"But what I saw in the palace wasn't like that…"
"You naturally didn't see their true form. If you doubt it, I'll let you see it later!"
At this moment, footsteps in the distance were getting closer, with a crackling sound.
Qing Xuan frowned and coldly said, "The Demon Suppression Guards are here. If you want to find me, go to Zui Xian Lou (Drunken Immortal Tower). Many time travelers are there!"
As she finished speaking, Qing Xuan grasped her black sword and ran toward the Demon Suppression Guards.
Suddenly, she turned around and came back.
"To prevent you from being suspicious, I'll have to stab you."
Qin Ming jumped in surprise.
What the heck! Are all the women in this world crazy? They've all turned into the opposite—stabbing people for no reason!
Qin Ming didn't have time to dodge. The black iron sword had already stabbed into his abdomen.
"Whoosh~ Sizzle!"
The sharp blade pierced through his entire abdomen, the intense pain spreading instantly, causing Qin Ming to tremble all over.
As he collapsed to the ground, he saw Qing Xuan, holding her sword, charging forward. Right in front of her were the officers Meng Tu and Mei Yang.
Qing Xuan leaped into the air, gripping her sword with both hands, and struck downward.
The sword's shadow was five meters long, unstoppable!
"Boom~"
Meng Tu, charging toward her, immediately jumped into the air as well. Her arms spread wide.
In an instant, a three-eyed spiritual rabbit with a body length of four meters appeared behind her.
Its fur was pure white, its eyes blood-red, and its long ears stood straight up!
With a push of her back legs, she soared into the sky like lightning.
Her combat strength had more than tripled.
Qin Ming was completely stunned!
Beasts? So they really are beasts?!
Qing Xuan's black iron sword came down in a slashing arc, but Meng Tu effortlessly blocked it.
At that moment, Mei Yang, standing behind, spread her arms.
A horned, single-horned demon goat appeared behind her.
The goat looked incredibly fierce, its eyes red, and the killing intent surrounding Qing Xuan.
"Boom boom boom…"
Meng Tu and Mei Yang teamed up to attack Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan was forced to retreat step by step.
Qin Ming's heart was racing with shock.
Their beast forms were real!
His abdomen ached so badly that he could hardly breathe and couldn't even scream!
Finally, his eyelids began to droop, and he lost consciousness, collapsing into darkness.
