Night without Borders

Chapter 29: Feathered Fairy
Qin Ming was silent and motionless, but mottled silhouettes of time emerged in his mind. At first, they seemed to be covered with dust and surrounded by black fog, but in an instant, they were like thunder falling from the sea of ​​clouds, tearing through the darkness, brushing away the smoke and dust, and revealing a series of bloody scenes to him.

The night was dark, flames shot up into the sky, and the young man was dressed in feathered clothes, looking as graceful as a fairy, but there were corpses and blood under his feet...

Qin Ming stroked his head with his hand, his body trembling slightly. The "Feather Robe" had once left an extremely deep mark in his subconscious mind. Now it stung him and awakened his memories of the past, like blowing away the dust that obscured his soul.

He closed his eyes, firmly suppressed his fluctuating emotions, quickly relaxed his body, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The current situation was not right, he could not show any abnormality, so he had to blend in with the crowd by making himself look dim.

Qin Ming's eyes became clear again, his hair fluttering in the wind. He stood there straight, as if nothing had happened, but many broken pictures began to emerge in his mind.

He calmed down, broke free from his own emotional cage, and looked back at the past with a calm mind, like an outsider watching the bloody scene that had happened to him.

In the dark night, the fire shot up to the sky. The entire forest was burning, and the raging flames seemed to swallow up the night sky.

In the village at the foot of the mountain, fire was also raging, spreading everywhere, houses collapsed, there were many corpses on the streets, and blood was flowing in the alleys.

In the blazing flames, among the broken walls, a young man with flying hair and fairy-like feathered clothes appeared. The corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be glowing, and he looked otherworldly.

There was a faint glow flowing through his body, and his white shoes and socks were spotless. Even among the ruins and surrounded by fire, he still seemed to be detached from the world and out of touch with the world.

Fourteen-year-old Qin Ming fell to the ground, his mouth and nose filled with the pungent smell of burning and dust, screams came to his ears, and all he saw was the ruthless flames. The beams of the house behind him were burned and broken, and fell down with a loud bang.

He saw many familiar people dead and the entire village engulfed in flames.

The young man in feathered clothes held a purple bamboo stick in his hand, stepped over the rubble and came close to Qin Ming. Although he had an extraordinary temperament and his eyes seemed to be filled with flowing starlight, his actions were ruthless.

The young man swung the glowing bamboo stick and hit Qin Ming on the head. Blood immediately gushed out and he felt dizzy. He saw that there seemed to be a fire burning in the night sky.

Qin Ming's clothes were torn and he had been injured earlier. After being hit by such a stick, he was choked by the fireworks in the sea of ​​fire and started coughing violently, making it difficult for him to get up.

Afterwards, the young man in feathered clothes swung the bamboo stick in his slender hands continuously, and all of them fell on Qin Ming's body, making a sound of bone breaking.

"I thought I had only suffered a serious head injury, but I didn't expect that there would be such scenes in my forgotten memories."

Qin Ming whispered in his heart. Looking at the past events, he remained calm, as if he was looking at someone else's past.

There were many figures moving around in the village, quickly finishing off the enemy. Only the young man in feathered clothes stood still, attacking Qin Ming with only a purple bamboo stick.

"It's obvious that he could have smashed my head with one blow, but he didn't do that. Why does he hate me? He had to make me feel that kind of pain all the time."

Qin Ming remembered the face of the young man in feathered clothes clearly. Although he was very handsome and elegant, he also showed a cold side in the firelight.

"My arm was broken, but I didn't even know what happened afterwards. How long was I unconscious when I was fourteen?" Qin Ming guessed in his heart.

"My chest hurts so much. I guess my bones were fractured when he poked me with the bamboo stick." Qin Ming quietly watched the bleeding scene in the firelight.

"Torture me first and then kill me?" More than two years have passed. When Qin Ming recalls it now, he can still clearly feel the powerlessness and pain.

The feathered boy seemed to be disgusted and did not make any physical contact with him. He only came down with the bamboo stick and then hit him twice on the head.

Qin Ming clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, and blood splattered everywhere, falling on his neck and some sliding down his cheeks.

Both were young men, but one was as handsome as jade, and clear-headed, while the other was lying in the dust with his clothes burned and tattered, his face covered in blood. It was a sharp contrast.

Finally, the fourteen-year-old Qin Ming was about to lose consciousness. He vaguely saw two figures rushing out from the ruins, violently repelling the young man in feathered clothes, grabbing him and quickly rushing into the darkness.

On the way, he saw with hazy eyes a huge city stretching across the land, so dazzling.

"Let's avoid Luoyue City." The two men whispered. Instead of taking him into the city, they circled around him and left quickly.

In a daze, he heard a sigh: "There are three fractures in the head, and the scalp and flesh are all rotten. It's too serious. I probably won't survive. The arms and chest..."

In the end, Qin Ming fell into complete darkness.

At this moment, he quietly experienced the boundless darkness, motionless.

"Someone took me away and sent me to this remote area. Three parts of my head were severely injured and almost shattered. No wonder I forgot so many things. I only remember the scene of wandering after waking up."

He realized that he might have been in a coma for more than three months, because after waking up, the fractures in his arms and chest had healed.

If he had not seen the man in feather robes again today, he still would not have remembered these things. He only remembered the scene of a heavy blow to the head and blood splattering in the flames.

Although he felt a little upset, he was not overly angry. Things had already happened. What was the use of being sad, angry, and irritable?

What he needs is to solve the problem effectively in the future and find and deal with the young man in feathered clothes!
"Yuyi Pianxian has a complicated background. Seeing that there are many experts in the sea of ​​fire, this may involve a very powerful organization." Qin Ming sighed.

Afterwards, he regained his composure. He even began to reflect on himself: if he were the young man in feathered clothes, he would not torture the opponent he wanted to kill like this. He would just hammer him down and end the matter directly, eliminating the trouble forever.

"Luoyue City!" Qin Ming's eyes seemed to be looking through the night sky, and he silently recited the name of the city in his heart. The village where the accident happened should not be very far away from Luoyue City.

Old man Liu was quite excited and whispered, "So strong! Where did this feathered woman come from? She is not afraid of the moonworms and is fighting against them, blocking the night sky."

Other people in the snow had the same feeling. Moreover, she was the only strong female warrior who appeared, so they were all curious about her identity. She stood on the back of a big blue bird, suspended in the air. It was hazy and very mysterious.

An old man said, "It shouldn't happen. Experts are usually used to intimidate. If they really fight, both sides will tear each other apart and fight to the death."

As a result, just as he finished speaking, between the towering mountains covered by the faint night sky and above the endless wild forest, the moon insects suddenly emitted a dazzling light, like brilliant lightning arrows, shooting out and piercing through the feathered woman on the big green bird.

Many people's faces changed. Is this going to be a big war? !

Only the four creatures sitting in the snow were calm and did not stand up.

In the night sky, the woman on the big green bird raised her white hands. She attracted the wind and snow, and then turned them into a large number of dense crystal raindrops. In an instant, the rain curtain in the night sky was like a curtain, blocking the light arrows emitted by the moonworm.

Amid the clanging sounds, all the light arrows were blocked, revealing their true form. They were actually silver-white insects that seemed to be made of pure gold and were extremely hard. They shot across the night sky, trying to tear apart the rain curtain.

The rain curtain became crystal clear, and all the raindrops were infinitely stretched, turning into glowing silk threads, cutting through the night sky, and finally with a puffing sound, they either cut or directly penetrated the densely packed silver insects.

A large number of silver flying insects finally burst on their own like a dream bubble and turned into nothingness.

Only two photochemical insects were not damaged and fell into the mountains. Then there was a loud bang, as if a violent earthquake had occurred, followed by an avalanche and a vast expanse of white.

Everyone was shocked and dared not comment.

The moonworm hung high in the sky, like a bright moon hanging in the night sky above the mountains and forests, and it did not attack again.

The woman on the big blue bird also stood still, her clothes fluttering. She also remained calm and took the initiative to step back a distance.

Obviously, this is a test by the top leaders. If one side is really not good enough, the so-called final negotiation is unnecessary.

Qin Ming looked at the woman in feathered clothes on the big blue bird from afar and thought that it was not such a coincidence. The person in feathered clothes might not be related to the young man.

But he couldn't help wanting to ask someone, so he turned to look at Mu Qing and said, "Does wearing a feathered robe mean you have a great background?"

Mu Qing, who was covered in a black robe, glanced at him and said, "People from outside the world are usually very aloof and detached from the secular world. I don't know her specific origins."

Qin Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In front, the atmosphere among the four figures sitting cross-legged in the snow actually eased, and they all smiled at each other.

Although the crowd couldn't hear their conversation, they guessed that they were having a good chat.

Of course, people believed that this should be related to the tentative collision between the moon bug and the woman in feathered clothes just now, which promoted the smooth progress of the negotiations.

Ling Xu said, "We will help you drive away the aliens that have migrated here. We are not greedy. If there are products in those special nodes, give us a share. That's all. In addition, all the aliens that have expanded recently must be sent back."

The snow-white old weasel sat cross-legged, twisting the beads with one hand, and said, "Why should we share them with you? Wouldn't it be more reasonable for us to directly unite with the newly migrated higher-level creatures to deal with you?"

Lingxu in white sat there quietly, saying, "There is no need to test each other. Our time is precious. I only have a few simple words for you to listen to. We only want the special products that may be born in those nodes, but those newly migrated higher-level creatures not only want these, but also miss your old nest. They say they have no place to live for the time being and are just passing through and staying for a few months. Do you believe them?"

"Okay, we agree."

"Yeah, it feels good!"

Both parties stood up and agreed on the general direction quite neatly without any dragging their feet. As for the details, others would discuss them and it was none of their business.

"Is the discussion over?" People were all shocked to see that the senior officials had stood up. They had not expected it to be so quick.

"You go back and wait, and be ready to go into the mountains at any time." The tabby cat turned around and said to everyone, carrying a red sword on his back.

The people from Chixia City were suddenly extremely excited. The deal was really done!
Qin Ming saw a crow flying not far away, which was really eye-catching. Then it landed on a large bluestone protruding in the snow.

And there was a woman in a fur cloak, with her long black hair fluttering in the wind, who glanced in his direction twice.

Crow said, "Why is that boy's aura weaker than last time? Something is wrong. I guess he has practiced a method to conceal his vitality. He must think that he is too outstanding. I said he is not simple. What kind of suitable candidate have you found? Why don't you take a look at this person?"

"The person I chose is like the blazing sun that is about to break through the black clouds, but he should not be exposed too early, otherwise he may be envied by the heavens. I have sent him away in advance." After the woman finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Ming and said, "I will find someone to test him later to see if he can be one of the backup candidates."
