Night without Borders

Chapter 58: Riding Alone on Jinji Ridge
Qin Ming felt something and looked towards the mountain where the purple electric beast rushed out, but he didn't want to investigate it further. The most important thing at this moment was to hurry on.

Deep in the mountains, a man in his thirties, dressed in green, was standing on a cliff, looking out.

On the majestic mountain opposite, white fog was everywhere, and hazy smoke covered most of the mountain. A higher creature appeared in the fog.

"As the new Lord of Chixia City, why are you here with me if you are not going to take up the post?"

"I passed by here and came to see the mountain master."

……

After galloping for more than ten miles, the Purple Lightning Beast became restless again. Purple mist flowed around its fur, and it was very bumpy when running wildly and was not as stable as before.

Sometimes it would suddenly slow down, and someone else would have lost their balance and even fallen off.

Seeing that it was making trouble again, Qin Ming pressed down the long sword with phoenix pattern on its neck. Suddenly a cluster of glowing purple mane fell off, and its neck began to bleed, leaving a bloody wound.

"If you don't give me a ride, then I'll give you a ride!" Qin Ming didn't want to completely subdue it.

At the same time, he did not feel any guilt because it was the purple lightning beast that kicked him first. If it were an ordinary person, his head would have been crushed.

"If you don't get on the right track, I'll be on the road!" Qin Ming pressed the knife again. This time the Purple Lightning Beast was really frightened. The blood on its neck soaked its mane.

Then it fell silent and became more obedient, and the journey went smoothly until it was only a dozen miles away from Jinji Ridge.

Qin Ming was slightly distracted. Even without using his Sky Light Power, he could still sit steadily on the back of this alien and control it well.

Before this, he had never ridden a horse in the Black and White Mountains. In particular, he was riding naked without a bridle on the Purple Lightning Beast.

Faintly, some images appeared in his mind. Outside a huge city, he once rode a beast wildly. That strange beast looked better than this purple lightning beast.

He shook his head and tried not to think about it, but as if out of habit, he used the long sword as a whip and gently hit the purple electric beast on its butt with the back of the sword.

The alien was suddenly frightened, thinking it was going to be stabbed again. It began to speed up as if riding the wind, like an arrow shot from a bow, flowing with purple light mist, cutting through the thick night.

Qin Ming rode on a ferocious beast, charging all night long, approaching Jinji Ridge!
The front was bright. Even in the middle of the night, Jinji Ridge was not dim, because the fire spring here was close to level two, almost comparable to the one in Yinteng Town.

The road was very open and led all the way to the mountains. There were dense forests on both sides. There were no strange creatures spying around because they knew that the bandits here were difficult to deal with.

However, Jinji Ridge is now much quieter than before. They suffered heavy casualties when they went to the Great Rift Valley to compete for the mysterious resources. Many of the monsters in the Black and White Mountains ate too much that day.

There are still about thirty people on the mountain now. Those who were able to stay and watch over the house that day all had some connections, and these people are even more evil.

In the words of Old Man Liu, the remaining bandits can just swing their swords at you without worrying about accidentally killing good people, and it doesn't matter if they die a few times.

Qin Ming put away his sword, took off the bow from his body, rode on the purple lightning beast, and rushed to the bright area of ​​Jinji Ridge where the fire spring was gushing.

The first to discover him were not the bandits, but a golden rooster that was used for vigilance. This twice-mutated creature was indeed very responsible. It hid in the woods and when it saw someone breaking into the mountain, it immediately made a loud noise: "Cluck!"

Qin Ming shot his first iron arrow at it. With a puff, the golden rooster's head was pierced by the high-speed arrow feathers, and its cry stopped abruptly.

"What happened?" Some people in the village were already drunk.

Some old bandits woke up and shouted, "Enemy attack!"

These people stood up suddenly and saw a man and a horse on the road outside the mountain village, with a faint purple light flowing, like the light of the sky tearing through the night, crashing towards the mountain gate.

In the past, there would definitely be a group of archers on their sentry towers and the village walls, but now Jinjiling is in a semi-crippled state, and the remaining people don't do much on weekdays.

In such a cold season, snowflakes are still falling from the sky, and most of them hide in their houses to eat, drink, gamble, etc.

Qin Ming rode the beast and the solid village gate was crushed to pieces with a bang by the heavy and powerful hooves of the purple lightning beast. The man and the horse rushed directly into the Jinjiling village.

"Everyone, get up quickly, the enemy is attacking!" There was chaos in Jinji Ridge, and even the drunk people knew what was happening.

The mountain village was bright, and a fire spring close to level two was flowing with fiery clouds. It was considered a treasure land, far better than the villages outside the mountain.

At this time, Qin Ming was wearing a shiny armor, and his entire face was covered by the facial protector of the helmet, with only his eyes, mouth and nose exposed.

In the eyes of these bandits, this man and his horse were too fast, with flowing purple light, terrifying and amazing, and possessing unparalleled impact power.

Qin Ming bent his bow and shot arrows continuously. One after another, the iron arrows flew by like cold lightning under the reflection of the fiery clouds.

Puff puff……

In just one encounter, he shot and killed five people in succession. Some of the bandits were shot in the forehead by an arrow before they could react, and two people were killed by the same iron arrow piercing through the chest.

"Quickly shoot arrows and fight back!" Someone woke up and quickly organized the people. At the same time, he whistled and gave orders to the tamed golden rooster to attack the enemy. Qin Ming studied the secret book of the Wu family. He was not joking when he said he was an expert in both spear and arrow. The bow and arrow in his hand seemed to have a soul, and his eyes were extremely sharp. Before the person who gave the order could finish his order, he was shot in the head with a special heavy arrow.

Under the illumination of the fire spring, the scene was very clear, with blood and broken bones splattering everywhere and landing on other bandits. It was so intimidating that some of them almost froze.

However, they were all bandits who had seen blood, and were very ferocious. In an instant they started shouting and fighting back, and some of them even bent their bows and shot arrows.

At this time, five golden roosters also rushed over, spread their wings, stretched out their huge beaks, extended their sharp claws, and rushed towards the man and his horse.

The Purple Lightning Beast was forced to go up the mountain. He was already extremely aggrieved and full of anger. Now he was attacked by the lower-ranking Golden Rooster, and he immediately became furious.

It roared, and although it had a head similar to that of a horse, it had the body of a tiger or leopard and was extremely ferocious. It stood up all of a sudden and smashed forward with its huge hooves raised.

With two puffs, two golden roosters died one after another. One had its head crushed by the purple lightning beast, and the other had its body pierced by it. Then it swung its head violently, bit the neck of one of the golden roosters with its mouth full of sharp teeth, and quickly "beheaded" it.

During this process, no matter whether it stood up or leaped out, Qin Ming stuck to its back, as if he was on flat ground, always very steady, constantly drawing his bow and shooting arrows, and suppressing the arrows of those bandits by himself.

The two big bandits appeared silently, but did not take action immediately, because they knew that the person who dared to come alone was definitely not a simple person, and his posture was quite powerful.

In fact, they still underestimated Qin Ming, because they judged the enemy's level by the strength of the arrow feathers, but the strength of the hard bow itself was limited and was far from reaching Qin Ming's upper limit.

The next moment, they realized that their judgment was wrong, because a powerful bandit personally drew his bow and shot an arrow at Qin Ming.

As a result, Qin Ming used an iron arrow to lightly push the powerful arrow away with sparks flying. This kind of eyesight and judgment made the two bandits feel depressed.

At the same time, Qin Ming also bent his bow and shot arrows at them.

puff!
The two big bandits dodged, but a young man next to them was shot through the head by an arrow. He fell to the ground with his back facing the sky, and he didn't even have time to scream.

A big bandit growled, and it was obvious that this was someone close to him, which made his murderous intent soar.

Qin Ming shot and killed continuously!

In just a short moment, the number of people in Jinjiling had decreased by more than a dozen. Originally, there were only about thirty people left, and now nearly half of them have been wiped out.

Qin Ming directly rode the purple lightning beast and rushed towards the nearby wooden houses. At this time, he put away the bow and arrow and held the sharp spear.

When the man and the horse charged, many bandits felt cold all over, as if there were thousands of troops charging at them. The mount was so ferocious that it instantly trampled to death several golden roosters that had mutated twice. The man wearing cold armor on the back of the strange beast was like a killing god, taking a life with one arrow. Many people couldn't help but tremble when they met his eyes.

When the lone figure came close, Qin Ming thrust out his spear, causing a violent vibration that directly lifted up a wooden house and caused it to explode instantly.

The two men in the wooden house panicked and raised their knives to attack, but they had only been reborn once, and facing such a man and a horse was simply a death sentence.

Two flowers of blood splashed, and Qin Ming drew his gun as fast as lightning, piercing them one after another, and rushed towards the direction of the two big bandits in Jinjiling again.

The purple lightning beast was very ferocious. It stood up and stomped its heavy hooves forward, causing a wooden house to disintegrate into pieces in an instant.

Qin Ming sensed something and heard the sound of wind behind him. He turned around abruptly and stabbed with his gun.

He was an old bandit who had been seen in the Great Rift Valley. Those who could come back alive were naturally three times reborn. At this time, he was riding on a golden rooster that was much larger than his peers. His mount had clearly mutated three times. It came from a high place and half flew to attack.

"Jinji Ridge has some tricks that can be used to cultivate these mutant creatures on a large scale." Qin Ming was fearless, and his spear transformed into dozens of shadows.

In mid-air, the old man swung his sword repeatedly until his arms became numb from the shock. He was horrified to find that there was a huge gap between him and his opponent, and his sneak attack failed. He might very well die here.

At his level, his instincts and intuition have become sharper and he has a premonition.

In fact, death came faster than he had imagined. When the spear in Qin Ming's hand shook, it not only blocked the old man's long sword, but also caused more than a dozen blood holes to appear on the body of the thrice mutated golden rooster, causing it to die instantly.

"Ah..." The old man waved his knife and screamed, trying to escape from mid-air.

However, the opponent below was much stronger than him. In the dense gun shadows, he could not tell which was real and which was an illusion. With a puff, he was pierced through the chest by a bullet.

Qin Ming killed him, and then threw the old man's body from the spear like a scarecrow, flying more than ten meters away, and crashed into a wooden house. The people inside were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.

This was the expert in their stronghold who was second only to the two big bandits, yet he was killed so easily by the other side.

At Qin Ming's signal, the Purple Lightning Beast slowed down, but its cry was very heavy. It ignored other people and went straight towards the two big bandits.

The two bandits both had solemn expressions. One drew out a broadsword, and the other held a long spear, and they both walked forward.

At this moment, another old man appeared silently from the shadows on one side and suddenly attacked Qin Ming from behind, trying to cooperate with the two big bandits to attack.

Qin Ming held the spear in one hand, pointing it at the two big bandits in front of him. The tip of the spear did not move at all, while his left hand quickly pulled out the phoenix-patterned long sword behind him. Like a dazzling lightning, it flashed across the sky, chopping the sword in the hand of the old man who attacked him away for more than 20 meters.

Qin Ming's sword carried enormous power and was not blocked even for a moment. After the sword flew away, the blade cut through the night sky at an even faster speed and cut off the old man's shoulder with a "puff", leaving him with his eyes wide open. Another three-time reborn was killed!
