Night without Borders

Chapter 152: Expanding Territory Causes Urgency

Zhou Tao, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly stood up from the back of the bird of prey, with two golden rays shooting out of his pupils. This time he was the leader of the team, but he caused the miraculous medicine of other elders to be snatched away. This matter was too "rough".

In the dark night sky, the white peacock radiated divine light and said, "Elder Zhou, I advise you not to get excited. Everything should be done according to the rules. Just don't cross the red line."

……

Qin Ming didn't dare to go deep into the Shenshang Plain, for fear of encountering a tough guy.

However, he longed for "progress" and wanted to exorcise the devil.

He knew that if he missed this place, it would be difficult to encounter the magical creature that gave birth to strange blood again.

Qin Ming is very positive and wants to continue exploring new areas!

Unable to go deeper vertically, he decided to develop horizontally to support those acquaintances.

Qin Ming counted the spoils and sent the donkey hooves, roc claws, four-colored feathers, ivory, mountain ape finger bones, etc. to Shibao Village overnight. This was proof that the demon had been subdued.

"Young man, you killed all those old monsters by yourself?" The old village chief was shocked. What a brilliant record!
When others heard this, they were frightened. Groups of young demon hunters came over, but they couldn’t even deal with the old donkey. But now all the demons are destroyed!

Moreover, some of the old monsters were not even on the file. They were killed by the young man in front of him, truly expanding the territory.

Qin Ming set off before the early night arrived. Even on the road, he was studying the "Archery Manual". Every time he shot an arrow, he would quickly chase after it, so that he could practice archery and travel at the same time.

Walking through the vast forest, he did not feel any fatigue. The rich Yi wood essence was nourishing his flesh and spirit all the time.

Hujiazhai is a relatively large village with many blue brick and gray tile houses. It has a total of more than 600 people. The second-level fire spring in the village is very bright.

After Qin Ming arrived in this area, he naturally asked the locals for information first, asking them if there were any vicious monsters nearby.

The village chief stood under an old locust tree, smiling, and said, "Young man, you are late. Recently, a girl, as beautiful as a fairy from a painting, helped us get rid of the demon and solved our problem."

"Look, she's here." The village chief pointed with his finger.

Zhuo Ya appeared and walked towards him gracefully. She was dressed in black, which made her fair and delicate face look quite cool. She was an alien who was even stronger than Cao Wuji.

"Why did you come to me? Do you want me to punch you and help my cousin vent his anger?" Zhuo Ya asked with a smile. She is Yu Zhuohan's cousin.

When you first meet her, she seems quite aloof, but after a little getting to know her, you'll discover that her smile is as bright as a blooming snow lotus.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Yu Zhuohan and I have known each other for a long time. I don't believe he is so stingy. I came here purely to help. Is there any old monster that is difficult to kill here?"

Suddenly, he took off the silver bow carved with cloud patterns, aimed at the iron-beaked parrot on a big willow tree not far away, and was about to shoot an arrow.

"Please spare me, I mean no harm! Oh my God, how could we meet here?" The iron-beaked parrot cried miserably.

"Don't kill it!" Zhuoya hurriedly stopped him.

"What's going on?" Qin Ming was puzzled. There had been bird monsters spying on him in recent days. After he shot several of them, the place finally became much quieter.

"It is the White Peacock's tamed subordinate, patrolling various territories..." Zhuoya informed that this is considered a protection for them. If any "accident" outside the rules occurs, the White Peacock will take action.

The iron-beaked parrot burst into tears and said, "Recently, people in the bird world have been saying that we should never go to the territories of the Black Peng and the Fire Lion. Nine of the bird brothers and sisters who were responsible for patrolling there were shot to death."

Qin Ming was stunned. Among the bird monsters he shot, there was actually Liu Yu's spy?

"Who told you not to tell me in advance?"

"There was no chance at all. Who would have thought that you had such a sharp intuition and such terrible archery skills? Later, we just looked at you from across the mountain, and no bird dared to approach you." The iron-beaked parrot never thought that even after taking a shift and changing positions, it would run into this killer and almost lose its life.

The head of Hujiazhai was shocked. This young man had actually defeated all the old monsters in that area? !

He suddenly became energetic as if he had received an injection of chicken blood, and said: "Brother, we do have a monster here that no one dares to touch. Although it has not crossed the border, its descendants often cause bloody incidents."

"What monster?" Qin Ming asked.

"The white dragon from the Jiao Palace." The village chief said eagerly.

"A dragon snake living in the palace?" Qin Ming became interested. This should be a very important alien creature.

Zhuo Ya had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but at this moment, she looked solemn. She shook her head and said, "That white dragon is very spiritual and has a high level of Taoism. We can't deal with it."

She tried to observe, but finally gave up and didn't dare to take any action.

Qin Ming heard that it was very spiritual, and he was even more excited. Could it be that it had given birth to "strange blood"? This kind of creature was too valuable. If it were put in the outside world, it would not be bought even with day gold.

In fact, it is impossible for ordinary people to hear any rumors about them.

Seeing that he was determined to go and was ready to act alone, Zhuoya finally caught up with him and helped him show the way.

A magnificent building stands in the forest ahead, accompanied by a three-level fire spring, which illuminates the place as bright as day. The lush leaves of the trees reveal their true appearance, no longer pitch black.

"This white dragon controls 60% of the area in this territory. It is extremely powerful." Zhuo Ya informed, her slender body tense like a cheetah, ready to fly away at any time.

In the early years, this white dragon caused great harm, forcing people from various villages to offer large numbers of cattle, sheep and other sacrifices, as if it were a god. Later, for some unknown reason, it dared not cross the border area of ​​the pioneering land.

Not long after, Qin Ming saw the legendary white dragon. It swam out from the giant palace and entered the third-level fire spring, stirring up waves of bright red.

It can be as thick as a water tank, its entire body is as white as ivory, and it can be fifteen or sixteen meters long. When its scales are opened, the clanging sound can be heard from a long distance away. It is conceivable that it must be as hard as fine iron.

There was a single horn on its head with a light golden sheen, and its eyes were as red as blood diamonds. Qin Ming's eyes were shining. He had encountered more than one creature that gave birth to strange blood. Based on his feeling, he thought that this white dragon was probably one of them!

"This area of ​​land is really special." He pondered, could it be that the so-called land of gods' sorrow is where a god died and all things came to life, thus giving birth to some strange-blooded creatures?

"The bloodline of this white dragon is extremely special." Zhuo Ya said.

Qin Ming was surprised and turned to look at her.

"You really know that you are coming for its strange blood!" Zhuo Ya understood immediately and showed a strange look. This guy is too bold. He is willing to risk his life for strange blood? The white dragon is not something they can deal with now, unless they practice the Six Imperial Powers.

Qin Ming said: "It was discovered by accident, and it has infinite uses, so I want to expand my territory and continue to look for this kind of creatures."

Obviously, although Zhuo Ya has a prominent background and knows about the strange-blooded creatures, she doesn't know that the "wild medicine" here has long been targeted by the elders of the Liuyu ancestral temple.

She said, "I also hunted one, but I almost lost my life. I used the methods of the secret teachings to successfully eliminate the monster. Before I learned the Six Imperial Powers, I couldn't defeat the monsters here at all."

Qin Ming was surprised and asked, "You and Yu Zhuohan have a close family background. Could it be that you are both descendants of esoteric masters?"

Zhuo Ya said frankly, "I have the inheritance of the secret teachings, but I lacked the means to protect the way in the early days. I want to learn the Six Imperial Powers."

Qin Ming immediately knew that she was similar to Lu Yuzhi who entered the Yuqing Sect.

"Can you handle both roads at the same time? Does the Six Imperial Ancestral Hall agree?"

Zhuo Ya said, "It's not a big problem. My family's elders have already discussed it with the elders. I will follow the secret path of becoming a god in Liuyu. I will never leave the ancestral temple, and I must not disclose the Liuyu Heart Sutra, otherwise it will implicate the entire clan. The elders of Liuyu actually hope that the stranger who is following two parallel paths will stay."

Qin Ming immediately realized that the Liuyu Ancestral Temple was studying the outside world and the path of esoteric Buddhism, and wanted to try to combine them, so it accepted a special person like Zhuo Ya.

The ancestral temples of major religions such as Liuyu, Yuqing and Qingtian do not want to decline after the death of their founders, and are all actively trying to survive.

"How dare he!" Zhuo Ya stepped back a long way and looked in surprise at the young man who had defeated her cousin.

Qin Ming stood on a high ground, holding a silver bow, putting the jade iron arrow on the bowstring, and started the dragon-slaying operation.

In an instant, the black jade-iron arrow, with a terrifying light, flew out at a high speed like a small sun and hit the white dragon's head.

With a loud bang, its scales shattered and its flesh and blood were blurred. It was injured by the first arrow. If it had not had a sharp intuition, it would have been shot through the left eye by the arrow.

Now, it stood up to be six meters tall, twisting its body, crushing the woods, coming at high speed, rushing towards Qin Ming, giving a very oppressive feeling.

During this process, Qin Ming emptied his twelve black jade iron arrows and shot them all at its head. Every arrow hit its target and almost pierced through part of its skull.

The thirteenth and final blue jade iron arrow was shot and successfully shot out one of its eyes.

Zhuo Ya was distracted. How could his Tianguang Jin be so powerful? Could it be that he had learned the Liuyu Heart Sutra in advance?
Qin Ming charged forward with a mutton-fat jade iron knife, fighting the giant dragon head-on. Every strike of his knife drew blood, and his scales on the white dragon flew everywhere.

This big dragon was experienced in combat. Although it was seriously injured, it remained calm. It wrapped its body around the opponent and tried to lock him up.

At the same time, its horn was emitting electric light, and its attack power was quite terrifying.

If it were another Outer Saint, he would most likely be pierced by the beam of light emitted from its golden horn.

Qin Ming was not afraid, he had learned the wind and thunder power and could deal with it.

He used the sword-controlling technique, and the mutton-fat jade iron sword rotated around him, making it impossible for the dragon to get close to him and have no way to lock him down.

At the same time, he used the power of wind and thunder to dissolve the lightning, which was much weaker than the lightning that fell naturally last night. He was able to control it and restrain the white dragon to some extent.

In the end, Qin Ming used the integrated Tianguang force and was also able to control the sword, chopping the dragon's body into a bloody mess, with the bones visible.

Then, he jumped up, rushed to a height of six or seven meters in the air, his fists burst out with light like the scorching sun, and he punched out one after another.

The white dragon was terrified. Its head had already been severely injured, and now it was unable to resist this unmatched Heavenly Light Force.

With a snap, the pale golden horn of the white dragon was broken by Qin Ming's fist, and its skull was shattered.

puff!
Qin Ming swung the mutton-fat jade iron knife and chopped off a huge dragon head!

This white dragon was stronger than the black roc, but it was still killed.

"You must have practiced the Liuyu Jin in advance, right?" Zhuo Ya rushed over and asked.

"Yes, you have to keep it a secret." Qin Ming said with a smile. He quickly extracted the "strange blood", which was light golden in color, similar to the color of the unicorn horn.

"The unicorn horn and dragon gallbladder are all yours." Qin Ming said, and then looked at the iron-beaked parrot and said, "Don't go and report the news recklessly."

The bird demon trembled, and was really afraid that he would shoot it down with one arrow.

"Where are you going?" Zhuo Ya saw that Qin Ming was using the Sky Light Force to refine the medicinal properties of the strange blood while walking, and it was obvious that he was going to a distant place.

Qin Ming said: "I will go to help Cao Wuji and the others. As fellow examinees, we should help each other."

……

"What? The miraculous medicine in Zhuoya's territory was also taken away? Quick, notify them that the time is up, the assessment is over, call them back immediately!"

When Elder Zhou Tao heard the news, he could no longer sit still. Someone was expanding the territory and taking away the miraculous medicine in the process. This made him very angry.
