Night without Borders

Chapter 43 Solve the doubts
Shen Jiayun's body stiffened slightly, and she could clearly feel the air fluctuations caused by the vibration of the gun tip in her ears, as if she was being lightly brushed.

This was also the first time that an outsider helped her put on the headdress. She pulled out the blue pearls from her cascading black hair and held them in her hands.

Qin Ming put away the gun and turned around to return it.

The owner of the purple-gold spear was a little embarrassed. When he lent the spear out earlier, he was still saying that it was an indirect battle with Nie Rui, and it was obvious that he was flattering him.

Now that he has the weapon back in his hands, how can he still praise Nie Rui? Is he going to brag about how the gun in his hand defeated the most powerful twins in Chixia City in the past 20 years?

He thought that he should put the gun away after returning home. It would be a bit conspicuous if he used it again. Every time he used it, it would remind people of today's battle, which would be a constant reminder to everyone that Nie Rui and Shen Jiayun had been defeated by the same person.

Mu Qing spoke without hesitation, saying: "You must keep this gun well, it is very commemorative."

The young noble holding the gun suddenly felt like he was in trouble, and his embarrassment doubled.

It was not until then that many people came to their senses. It was hard to imagine that Nie Rui and Shen Jiayun were defeated by a teenager whose physical fitness was not as good as theirs.

"The young man's spearmanship has a sense of returning to nature, drawing the line between life and death in the ordinary, showing the true meaning of fighting!"

Several nobles in their late thirties commented that they had all been reborn three times and had very keen eyes.

"The murderous aura was restrained. At first, it seemed like a leisurely stroll in the garden, listening to the spring rain. Suddenly, it was connected to the thunder in the sky, and the shadow of the gun exploded like lightning. It was indeed not simple."

The twin stars who amazed Chixia City suffered defeat in a remote place, and they were defeated by their peers. Naturally, this incident had a significant impact. If it were to be spread out, few people would believe it.

But the real battle was here, witnessed by a group of young nobles.

"What a heroic figure! The charm of that shot really dazzled my eyes." A noble girl whispered.

"Hey, I noticed that Shen Jiayun was in a trance for a short time while holding a pearl flower in her hand."

……

Shen Jiayun landed lightly on the back of the black tiger and left with a group of nobles. The people here dispersed.

Just before parting, the twin stars of Chixia City spoke a few more words to Qin Ming, saying that the night fog world is vast and full of mysteries, and they look forward to meeting again in the future when each of them has reached a higher peak.

When those young nobles left, they all looked at Qin Ming deeply.

Some people also came over to talk to him, and after a brief chat, they said that if they went to Chixia City in the future, they could look for them.

This battle was purely accidental and unexpected, but it did make Qin Ming's name known to many people before he entered Chixia City.

In the eyes of many people, although his physical fitness is not among the strongest, his fighting method of turning decay into magic and his superb means of on-the-spot performance are very impressive. His fighting talent is rarely matched. This is quite terrifying and rare, and he is like a rising and brilliant new star.

"He is so powerful that he defeated Nie Rui. After this battle, Nie Rui no longer hesitates and decides to take another path."

In the Black and White Mountains, other young nobles were very surprised when they heard this. Some even came here to see what Qin Ming looked like.

Cao Long, Mu Qing and Wei Zhirou stepped forward and finally helped Qin Ming to avoid a lot of trouble, and the situation gradually calmed down.

"Qin Ming, after early spring next year, no later than midsummer, you should rush to Chixia City to sign up. But it's a pity that your strength is still a little low now." Mu Qing said.

"Ah?" Qin Ming was puzzled.

Wei Zhirou explained: "You may have the opportunity to come into contact with higher-level knowledge at that time. Even if it is the advanced Qigong that has always been kept secret, you may be able to learn some of it."

Cao Long added: "Then the giant city will come to select people. As long as you perform well enough, you will probably get the opportunity to change your life."

If Qin Ming had not unexpectedly fought with Nie Rui and Shen Jiayun today and defeated them both, Cao Long, Mu Qing and others would not have told him these things because it was meaningless.

"If it really doesn't work, you can study in Chixia City for a year and wait for the opportunity next year. If you can be reborn three times, you will have a better chance, and then you may be able to enter a more famous giant city."

They know that people with a golden foundation can be reborn again in no time, but this is not enough. Unless they have "divine wisdom", special abilities, rare talents, etc., it is difficult to be valued in advance.

Xu Yueping and Yang Yongqing knew that when early spring arrived, Qin Ming would most likely leave this place.

Qin Ming learned about the situation in detail. Since it was just a casual conversation, he casually asked a lot of other questions, but they were all brought up inadvertently.

For example, when talking about what spiritual substances can help people be reborn, Cao Long casually mentioned mineral elements, and Qin Ming took the opportunity to ask in detail.

"Minerals are active substances extracted from mineral veins. Drinking them can improve physical fitness, but whether you can be reborn depends entirely on luck. Even so, it is still very expensive."

"Why?" Qin Ming asked.

Cao Long said: "Because, as long as it is your first time taking the mineral element, no matter how many times you have been reborn, it can improve your physical fitness, and there is a 50% chance that you can be reborn again."

Wei Zhirou said: "This is its most precious feature. It is loved by some old men who have difficulty making any progress in their strength, because other conventional means can no longer give them a new life, but mineral elements bring about the possibility."

Qin Ming asked. "Is it ineffective after the second dose?"

Mu Qing said: "It's not completely without effect. It's probably one-tenth of the first time. Besides, unless you can get a higher level mineral, such as a bright red mineral like the sunset glow, known as the Blood of the Earth, you can only find one or two bottles a year in Chixia City."

Judging from her words, there are obviously higher-level mineral elements, which can only be found in the giant city.

Qin Ming knew that they would probably leave in two or three days, so he couldn't help but chat more and naturally asked various questions.

When talking about the mysterious items in the node, Qin Ming inevitably wanted to know the special features of the mutton-fat jade iron.

The three of them were also very interested in this topic and were very excited to talk about it.

"Every time the light of heaven descends, it can nourish a lot of extraordinary good things. Some extremely rare materials can be refined into mysterious weapons and then passed down from generation to generation, which can protect and prosper a family. There are even unique mysterious products that can be used to protect the country."

Cao Long's eyes were very enthusiastic, which was why he was actively searching in the mountains. It was possible that all levels of products produced in the nodes could exist.

"Although mutton-fat jade iron is not the rarest one, it is also extremely valuable, far superior to ordinary iron, and has great uses."

Finally, the three of them mentioned the information Qin Ming wanted to know.

Mutton-fat jade iron does not need to be hammered and refined a thousand times. Even if it is refined ten thousand times, it will not have any bonus. Its material is excellent. After being refined into a weapon, it can cut through the scales of a giant beast, which is a great threat to people who use the skylight to protect their bodies. This is not the most important thing, because some weapons made of other materials are also tough enough and sharp.

"If a weapon made of mutton-fat jade iron is damaged, as long as it is not too serious, it can be restored to its original shape slowly by being warmed by sunlight."

Qin Ming was surprised. This kind of weapon or armor was really magical.

"The most magical thing about the mutton-fat jade iron is that you can use it to kill some special things."

These words startled Qin Ming, and he realized that he knew too little about this world.

Mu Qing said: "In this vast and dark world, how many areas are there with fire springs? Although those huge cities are dazzling, they can only be regarded as faint fireflies in the boundless night. The vaster areas are inky black, as dark as the abyss. There are always some things that are hard to explain. Sometimes you need to use some rare weapons such as mutton-fat jade iron to deal with them."

Qin Ming asked her to explain in detail because he was really confused.

Mu Qing said: "For example, there are some things that you can't see with your eyes. It's useless to stab them with an ordinary spear. The tip of the spear will seem to be stabbing into the air. If you use a weapon made of mutton-fat jade iron, a shot might cause a string of strange blood flowers to stab something to death."

Qin Ming sighed: "I am in a remote place and know nothing about these things. This dark and boundless world is really too mysterious."

Wei Zhirou said, "Why do some esoteric religions worship gods? It's because there are all kinds of unknowns and mysteries. Some things cannot be described or explained."

Old Man Liu patted his chest and said, "Fortunately we don't have it here."

Mu Qing smiled and said, "How do you know it doesn't exist? Even if it exists, ordinary people can't see it."

"Don't scare me. The older you get, the less courageous you become. I still want to live for a few more decades."

Cao Long said: "Don't worry, even we have never seen it before."

Qin Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Are all the people outside the sect very powerful?"

Wei Zhirou nodded and said, "The paths of some outsiders can be described as extremely brilliant and incomparable."

"How strong are they?" Qin Ming asked. He really wanted to know because the young man who had severely injured him was wearing feather clothes and should be a person from outside the world.

Mu Qing said, "Don't think too much. You just need to work hard to improve yourself now. When you enter the giant city and your strength increases again, if you are found to have special talents, you can change your path."

Although they didn't say much, it was enough to illustrate the horror of outsiders.

Moreover, from what they said, it seemed that they had changed their path.

Qin Ming pondered for a moment and realized that they were not ordinary newcomers. One of them had already taken the path of the giant spirit, and the other had a tail. Wei Zhirou, who was with them, must also be special.

After Qin Ming stayed up all night, he finally fell asleep. This made him feel completely relieved. It was too painful not to be able to fall asleep.

During this period, the giant beasts of Chixia City pulled the grain cart across the mountain roads blocked by heavy snow and finally delivered the grain. The whole area was suddenly in an uproar.

Although the price of grain is a bit high, considering the transportation cost, it is already a very sincere price, and the essence is to solve the problem.

"Don't worry, the price of food will not increase, and it will continue to be delivered in the future."

……

Cao Long, Mu Qing, Wei Zhirou and others were already packing up and preparing to return home, but then they received news from the mountains that several special nodes had been discovered in a large rift valley area, and more nodes were being found one after another.

Immediately, three groups of people rushed into the mountains and asked Qin Ming, Old Man Liu and others to lead the way.

This time, some old guys followed the team, such as Cao Long’s seventh uncle who ate the longevity tree.

When the black goat that Yang Yongqing was sitting on saw him, it immediately urinated in respect to him.

The big yellow dog that Old Man Liu was riding also had a stress reaction and started to poop.

When Cao Laoqi saw this, he was so angry that his nose almost became crooked, and he shouted that he wanted to go back and eat black goat meat and yellow dog meat.

Others wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

"After sending us to the destination, you don't have to get involved. It's too dangerous there!" Cao Long said.

There is no doubt that this will be their last action before leaving, and a major war is likely to break out, with nodes appearing densely and all parties fighting each other.

In fact, after Old Man Liu led the team to the Great Rift Valley, he immediately took Qin Ming, Xu Yueping, and Yang Yongqing and turned around and ran straight back to the village.

Old Man Liu said, "We have made it through the 99 bows, and everything has been safe. We are just one step away from the end. We must stay away from that place and keep to the bottom line of safety. It will be good if nothing goes wrong!"

Although Qin Ming was somewhat relying on the fact that he would not be eroded by the skylight after entering the node and would be safe inside, he still held back in the end.

At this point in time, not to mention that the people of Chixia City will be bloodthirsty, it is estimated that all the monsters in the mountains will be attracted there.

However, some local organizations were unruly and ordered each village to send people to go into the mountains with them.

The person who delivered the message was a newcomer from Jinjiling, who came on a high-speed running chicken. This time he could only be considered a minion, doing things according to orders, because a real big bandit had arrived at Jinjiling.

In the final stage, they also became greedy and wanted to snatch the mysterious treasures in the Black and White Mountains.

"This is not our decision. We have joined forces with the Three Eyes Cult. You can decide for yourself. If you really don't send any help, there will be an explanation later!"

This is obviously a threat, and if you don't comply, they will retaliate against you later.

"Each village can send people based on its population, but they must be newborns."

Qin Ming immediately realized that these people were afraid of the daylight in the node and wanted to find someone to go in and search on their behalf. They really did not regard the newcomers from various villages as human beings and did not care about their lives.

"Let me go!" Qin Ming insisted on pushing Old Man Liu, Xu Yueping, Yang Yongqing and others back. For a small village like theirs, one person was enough.

He calmly followed the newcomers from Jinji Ridge into the mountains, but the murderous intent in his heart gradually boiled over.
