Night without Borders

Chapter 141: The Edge of the World
In one day, they crossed 40,000 miles and passed through the dark and boundless territory. The two high-level aliens carried everyone to the edge of the world.

Even though everyone had strong physiques and had experienced many rebirths, some young people still felt unwell and pale, and they did not feel grounded until their feet touched the ground.

"Why not go directly into the city?" someone asked.

This is a wilderness. The night is very dark. There are many old trees and messy branches stretching everywhere. A faint light shines through in the distance. It should be a city.

“After coming here, I will teach you a lesson.” The elder of Liuyu Zutang spoke.

His name is Zhou Tao. His temples are gray and his pupils are shining with gold. He said, "When you are close to the edge of the world, you cannot enter the city directly from the night sky. It will be considered an enemy attack. Even if you are a high-level alien, you will be shot and exploded by special crossbows!"

Afterwards, everyone knew what kind of place this was, the frontier of the last great development period!

Of course, with the changing times, it has been a long time since the land was opened up again, and the bustling scene with its former popularity and crowds of experts is no longer here.

Qin Ming was a little dazed. He traveled 40,000 miles in one day and ended up in a place like this. It was beyond his expectation.

He thought that the era of great development was still far away, but he did not expect that he would arrive in this area ahead of time.

The crowd whispered and talked, walking towards the city in the night.

It was not very large, and the walls were very old. On the iron-hard black gold stone walls, there were some damaged areas, which turned out to be terrible claw marks that were several meters long.

This made many people change their expressions. It can be imagined that in the past era, all kinds of thrilling scenes and the past of blood and fire seemed to be coming to them.

Zhou Tao seemed to know what they were thinking, and smiled faintly: "These are just drizzles, all left by some kittens and mice in recent years."

"Ah, has the great pioneering of this era begun?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Not yet." A young disciple shook his head.

Then he added: "Do you think it's usually peaceful here?"

After their identities were verified, the group of people entered the city smoothly and gained a general understanding of the situation along the way.

In the frontier area of ​​the great frontier, the boundary line is very long, and this is just a corner.

It is precisely because of this that in the extremely long edge of the world, various creatures often break in and harass border residents, making it difficult to guard against them.

The situation became increasingly worse, with severe bloodshed occurring frequently.

Therefore, the top management has become fed up with it and wants to expand into new areas again.

As for now, various preparations are still proceeding in an orderly manner.

"You are born in an era full of challenges. Once the great development comes, you will advance into the depths of the vast and boundless night fog world. There will be countless opportunities, countless resources, and countless good fortunes. You will witness legends. Some people will rise quickly. It is not impossible for people who are close to immortals and god-like creatures to appear."

"Every time a newcomer comes along, he or she will rise up like the blazing sun across the sky, lighting up the foggy world, and standing on equal footing with the giants of the older generation."

“Maybe among you there is a young master who can blaze a trail!”

Zhou Tao and several young disciples from the Liuyu ancestral temple outlined the vague contours of a great era with just a few simple words.

A group of young people were filled with emotions and their blood was boiling.

There are also some people who remain calm, and their young hearts do not become agitated, because they know that in such a brilliant era, many people are bound to die.

This is a county town with a three-level fire spring group and a population of just over 100,000.

Qin Ming and others already know what kind of assessment they are about to go through and what monsters and demons they are going to deal with!
"After the last great land reclamation, some people moved here. In the early days, the country was indeed very prosperous. After all, the land was rich in resources and sparsely populated. But now, the country is suffering. Various monsters keep crossing the border, causing great trouble. There are more and more bloodshed incidents, and there are even tragic incidents of massacring villages and towns."

A group of people already understood what Zhou Tao meant when he said that he didn't want them to waste time, so it was better for them to come to the edge of the world to hunt and help solve border problems.

"You can work in a team or individually. Whoever kills more fierce monsters and slays more demons will receive a higher evaluation."

Then, some people discussed forming a team, while others remained silent and decided to travel alone.

Zhou Tao said seriously: "I will divide the areas according to your strength. Before you set out, please read the information carefully and do what you can."

He solemnly reminded that it was still not too late to withdraw, otherwise, people would definitely die. If young people had never experienced a life-and-death fight, they should not participate, as novices were most likely to get into trouble.

Everyone had a stack of papers in their hands, all of which contained information about the surrounding areas. Looking at the dates, some were from a long time ago, while some were recent. They all recorded bloody incidents reported by local people.

"I won't give you any information about giant beasts and even more powerful monsters. If you go to a place like that, you'll only die."

Zhou Tao told them that danger also brings opportunities. Some special creatures have rich spiritual substances in their bodies, such as the silver creatures that failed to evolve. The silver blood remaining in their bodies is of amazing value.

This also means that they are extremely dangerous.

There are also some strange species whose jade horns and spiritual bones can be used as medicine, or are excellent materials for refining spiritual weapons. They are very precious, so don't miss them.

Some of the young men were very righteous and asked, "Elder Zhou, since the border residents have suffered so much in recent years, can't you just push them away? After all, our realm is still low, how many problems can we solve?"

Zhou Tao responded: "Who said that people of our level don't do anything? Where do you think the spiritual meat we eat every day comes from? If we don't do it ourselves and have enough food and clothing, even as elders, we will be destitute sooner or later."

A young disciple told them that the main reason was that the border line left over from the last large-scale land reclamation was too long, and the area they were in now, including several surrounding cities, could only be considered a corner.

Therefore, those files and bloody cases have accumulated into a thick pile, and the people from various paths and religions do not have enough manpower.

The most crucial thing is that those who cross the border are small fish, slippery, and the great masters are all eyeing the deeper parts of the night fog world.

So in recent years, the top management wanted to open up new areas. They wanted to directly overturn the table and attack violently and forcefully.

However, the unknown area is boundless, and even the ancestors of each path are unsure and don’t know what lies ahead.

In the past, the large-scale land development was relatively smooth and brought great benefits.

But who can predict the future? If a kingdom of gods or a demon king's court emerges, it will be a lot of fun, and it is bound to be quite tragic.

A group of teenagers were studying the files, which involved a lot of bloody and tragic events, some of which were so outrageous that they made one's chest suffocate.

In the quiet room, Zhou Tao instructed several disciples to allocate territories to a group of teenagers according to their strength.

He warned: "Everything must be done according to the rules. No one is allowed to go beyond the guidelines and no one is allowed to cross the red line. Do you understand?"

Several young men nodded to show that they understood.

Zhou Tao said: "The strange man will probably become our core disciple. He needs to be honed well. I will personally arrange it and put some pressure on them. Otherwise, they will think that the assessment of my Liuyu Ancestral Temple is a child's play." After that, he took the information of the young strange man and read it carefully.

"You can rest here for one night, and you will go on your own tomorrow. Solving those bloody cases can also be considered as defending the land and suppressing the rebellion. If you think you are capable, then go and explore the small wasteland. It will be reflected fairly in your evaluation!"

Zhou Tao warned them that internal conflicts were strictly prohibited and anyone who dared to attack their fellow travelers would be disqualified from the assessment or even beheaded.

"If someone attacks me secretly, can I fight back? Will it be considered as a mutual consumption?" someone asked in a low voice.

"You're not going to fight back? You've lost all your energy! It's just self-defense." After Zhou Tao finished speaking, he took out some Buddhist scriptures and distributed them.

He added: "This is a very advanced secret technique called Mingguang Jin. It is most suitable for honing when killing monsters. It can be regarded as a gift to you. Those who perform well, even if this is only the first assessment, will be allowed to go to the Liuyu Enlightenment Land to comprehend a more powerful technique after returning."

The next day, a group of teenagers hit the road!
Qin Ming was a lone traveler and did not form a team. The area assigned to him was nearly a hundred miles away from the county town. He followed the map and referred to the road signs and traveled quickly in the night.

"The seventh rebirth, and the little pioneer, here I come!" He really wanted to see the original appearance of the world before it was developed.

But he calmed down again and told himself to be cautious and not to be careless so as not to accidentally fail in the assessment.

He set out early and traveled very quickly, and he was close to his destination before the early night arrived.

In Luojia Village, smoke rises from the kitchen as villagers begin to prepare breakfast.

It is brighter here. A village with a population of several hundred actually has a second-level fire spring. It is indeed a vast land with sparse population and rich resources.

Outside the village, large tracts of fire fields are full of vitality. After being irrigated by the red fire springs, the crops are growing very well.

Further away is a dense forest.

In this area, governed by several cities, there are few mountains. Instead, it is a vast plain with either scorched earth or dense forests.

The quiet morning was soon disturbed by the sound of crying.

Some villagers were very nervous and scared and closed their doors tightly.

A woman was crying, "Sir, you... are here again. We have already lost a child. Please don't do it again. Otherwise, you can choose one between us, husband and wife."

Qin Ming immediately rushed over silently, and in an open courtyard gate, he saw a green wolf walking upright, about two meters tall.

It was wearing a scholar's robe, with a bloody mouth, and could actually speak human language, saying: "Eat a good breakfast. I think your child tastes good, so I came again today."

In front of it, a couple knelt down, willing to die for their child, and begged, and behind them were two children under ten years old, their eyes wide open in fear.

Just yesterday, they lost their brother, and today it's their turn.

"Beast!" Qin Ming had never thought that one of the bloody incidents would be so cruel and tragic. What did this blue wolf think of this place?

It treated a villager's children as breakfast. This is the second time it has come!

Even though other bloody incidents were also excessive, none of them made him feel as angry as what happened in this incident, and his eyes were about to spit fire.

In the past, he had always been calm, but now he was furious and couldn't stand it at all.

Qin Ming rushed into the courtyard, staring at the strange big blue wolf with cold eyes and undisguised murderous intent.

"Huh?" The big blue wolf was very alert and retreated immediately. If it could kill the opponent, it would kill him. If it couldn't, it would also prepare a way to escape.

It grinned, revealing its snow-white fangs, and said, "Brother, I know you have a mission to accomplish. Can we both take a step back? I will leave today. I am a member of the Silver Wolf King's tribe."

"Who are you calling brother?!" Qin Ming took action, with the power of heavenly light flowing on his body, and his left fist and right palm bursting out with dazzling light at the same time.

The blue wolf was very fast, but was still blocked and forced to fight back. It swung its big claws, making a sound of breaking through the air, and its entire huge wolf head stretched forward, trying to bite.

The upright blue wolf screamed, its left claw exploded, and then the other upper limb was torn off by Qin Ming, blood splattered everywhere, and at the same time, there was a loud bang, and half of its head shattered.

"A creature that has mutated six times." Qin Ming assessed, and the anger in his heart dissipated slightly.

Behind him, the whole family was shocked, and then surprised, because they knew that the two children would not be eaten.

The family expressed their gratitude profusely and wanted to kowtow to Qin Ming, but he quickly stopped them.

Qin Ming saw that after their family was happy, they also showed signs of worry.

Soon, the chief of Luojia Village arrived, excited but also worried. It was a good thing that someone had solved the problem of the big blue wolf, but there was a Wolf Ridge in the dense forest, and there were at least six more vicious wolves.

Qin Ming learned the details from them, and then immediately set off towards the so-called Wolf Ridge.

If there are mountains in the dense forests of the great plains, they will most likely be occupied by some creatures as nests.

After half an hour, Qin Ming found his destination and climbed up the mountain.

"who?"

"Friend, we are the Silver Wolf King's followers. What can I do for you? We can sit down and talk."

A white wolf and a gray wolf spoke one after another, and they both understood human language.

These wolf monsters were very alert and felt that the visitor had ill intentions. The young man who dared to appear here alone must be difficult to deal with.

"Have you ever eaten people in those villages and towns?" Qin Ming asked.

"Misunderstanding, we occasionally get stained with blood, but we are very restrained..." Gray Wolf said.

With a clang, Qin Ming could no longer bear it, and decisively drew his sword, which shone with brilliant light. With one slash, he cut off a huge wolf's head.

"How dare you attack the Silver Wolf King's followers?!" The other wolves looked fierce but were actually timid, but after a moment's hesitation, they pounced on them together.

For a moment, the sword lights were bright, blood splattered on Wolf Ridge, and several wolves were either beheaded or cut in half.

Qin Ming went down the mountain with a few wolf fangs and walked back.

"A human swordsman has come to our side to hunt?" In the dense forest, a weasel half the height of a man, carrying a knife on its back, stood in front, with purple light flowing in its eyes and faint lightning lingering on its body.
