It was noon, and the heat wave was rolling in, and drops of sweat flowed down Qin Yu's forehead, eroding the purple skin that Hu Lai had drawn with wooden strips, and the pain spread on his cheeks like a raging fire. At this moment, he was moving the stone firmly embedded in the earth in front of him with his weak hands, aimlessly searching for something called a map, and Hulai, who had given him the order, was lying not far away, half-squinting and drowsy. Maybe it's because I'm hungry, and I'm still holding a wooden stick I picked up from nowhere in my mouth, and I'm chewing it with relish.

Hu Bat obviously didn't care about this uncompetitive cousin, and was carefully observing the boulder in front of him inch by inch. At this moment, Ximen Qu, who was standing behind him, raised his head, looked at the top of the boulder, and said, "Ah Ba, you said that the map should not be on it!"

"Maybe, but if it were me, I would never put the map on the top of this stone," Hu Bat straightened up, also looked at the top of the boulder and continued: "The top of this boulder has been beaten by wind and rain all year round, and it is by no means the best place to store the map, but there is also this possibility, in short, we can't let go of any of the surrounding areas of this boulder..."

Ximen Quhu was suspicious for a moment, and he didn't see him talking nonsense, but he bent his knees slightly, jumped up suddenly, and when he fell again, he had reached the top of the boulder. Seeing this, Hu Bat stopped talking, bent down again, turned his head and glanced at the sleepy Hu Lai, and was about to speak, but the prophecy stopped. Looking in the direction of Qin Yu, he saw that Qin Yu was following Hu Lai's request at this time, laboriously picking up the stones that were firmly stuck in the soil around the boulder with his own hands, blindly looking for something. He simply shook his head and concentrated on his own business according to the original plan in his heart.

Qin Yu only felt that time had passed incomparably long, and a feeling of fatigue had hit. Xu is sunlight was too strong, Hu Lai hid in the shadow of the boulder and fell asleep at some point, and the hemp rope that was originally used to bind Qin Yu was unconsciously put aside by him.

Putting down the stones that had just been painstakingly dug out of the soil, a few blood-red centipedes hurriedly slipped away from under the stones, Qin Yu only felt dizzy, and looked at Hu Lai, who was already sleeping not far away, and felt that the sky was spinning for a moment, and he sat down on the ground, in order to stabilize his body, his left hand unconsciously pressed into the pit where he had just dug out the stones. An unusually cold sensation spread from his left hand, and then his body, which had reached a critical point, seemed to be swept by a cold wind. He suddenly had a wit, his head spun, and he instantly remembered the blood-red centipedes that had just crawled out from under the stones, and he couldn't help but be startled, and reflexively pulled his left hand back from the dirt pit just now. Knowing that his left hand was fine, he relented, took a closer look at the pit, and found that a cyan object was covered with a little moisture of the earth, and only a small part was exposed.

He knew that the unusually cold feeling just now was brought about by this cyan object, and he didn't dare to touch it with his hand again, but looked around, and it was bare, but there were many scattered and dry branches to use. So he picked up a dry branch with his right hand at random, and gently brushed the wet soil covering this cyan object to both sides, and after a closer look, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a cyan stone, in addition to the color was incompatible with the other stones around it, it also looked more rounded, it was an incomparably regular oval pebble.

Carefully picked up the cyan pebble with his right hand, and an unusually cold feeling struck again, fortunately, it was noon, and the scorching sun in the sky was always selflessly a little overdone, and he did not hesitate to sprinkle the light on the ragged earth, despite this, when he picked up the pebble, a chill still instantly hit his whole body, and the feeling he felt under the scorching sun was extremely comfortable.

"This is no ordinary stone," Qin Yu's mind turned sharply, so he hurriedly held the stone tightly in his hand, and continued to dig up other stones embedded in the mud under his feet. It was only then that he realized that his state seemed to have changed drastically. Hunger had been with him since he was sensible, but now he didn't feel a hint of hunger, which was incredible. He even felt that every pore in his body was full of strength and his energy was unusually high.

A stone that was deeply stuck in the soil was pulled out effortlessly, and after a long absence, he raised his arm and wiped the sweat stains on his face vigorously, he would never do this kind of useless action before, because it would consume his physical strength, and in the past he would always save the hard-won physical strength for him.

"No, no..."

Suddenly, he said silently in his heart, and as he rubbed his cheek vigorously with his hand, he found that the place where Hulai had been beaten with a wooden stick no longer felt any pain.

"It's gone, the scars on my face are gone," he suddenly realized something, and his heart instantly calmed down, he didn't want his excessively fluctuating mood to affect his face at this time, he knew his situation very well, just now he clearly felt a gratuitous killing intent against him from that Hulai's body.

"But now, I'm afraid I'm still useful to them," Qin Yu said in his heart.

When a person is full of energy, his mind will naturally become active, Qin Yu pretended to dig the stone at his feet, while slightly changing the angle of his body, observing the three of them, just now he accidentally saw the scene of Ximen Qu jumping on the top of the boulder, and knew that this Ximen Qu was by no means an ordinary person. Living on the streets all year round has allowed him to see and hear many things. For example, there are some mysterious people in this world who can fly on the wall and kill people in the invisible, they are called warriors, and these people are what he admires and yearns for.

Obviously, this Ximen Qu is a martial artist, but at this moment, he can't give birth to any yearning and worship.

He suddenly remembered the change in his physical condition, which appeared with the inexplicable cold wind when he inadvertently touched the pebble.

"This stone must be a treasure," he thought to himself.

"It's easy to be found just like that," Thinking of this, Qin Yu took advantage of the fact that the three of them were not paying attention, and instantly put the stone in his hand into his mouth, fortunately, this pebble is only a little bigger than a fingernail, and putting it in his mouth will not affect his face at all, "As long as you don't speak, you will definitely not be discovered," Qin Yu said in his heart.

At this moment, Qin Yu suddenly felt that his hands were tight, and he was dragged violently, and then he heard an extremely disgusted voice coming into his ears, and Hu Lai woke up at some point, which made his heart suddenly twitch.

"Okay, you little ghost, you dare to take advantage of my napping to be lazy, see that I don't kill you...", and then he saw Hu Lai walking towards him angrily, and couldn't help but punch and kick him all over his body.

Although he was beaten, Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this Hu Lai's tone, obviously this Hu Lai had just woken up and didn't notice his previous actions, and naturally he wouldn't know that he had a pebble in his mouth.

Xu was the reason why Hu Lai hadn't eaten for a day, and Qin Yu only felt that the punches and kicks that fell on him had lost a little strength, but it still made him feel a little uncomfortable. In order not to arouse suspicion, he still pretended to be in pain. Despite this, every time Hu Lai's fists and feet fell, Qin Yu could feel a subtle cold feeling brush through his body, and then even the last bit of discomfort dissipated. He could clearly feel that this cold feeling came from his mouth, which further convinced his opinion, "This pebble must be a treasure, and it must not be discovered," thinking of this, his heart was crossed, for fear that if something went wrong, the three of them would see the difference between his physical condition and before, and even if he didn't die, this thing would definitely be searched, so he simply took a mouthful of saliva and swallowed the pebble into his stomach with a grunt.
