Monarch of Evernight: May 4th Robbery
bsp;After walking for a while, Song Zining finally couldn't help but ask: "Where are we going?"
"Collect resources."
"Are there really resources?" Song Zining obviously didn't believe it. Ji Tianqing clearly came here to spy on Ye Tong, and the so-called collection of resources was just an excuse.
However, Ji Tianqing moved forward seriously, and Song Zining could only follow.
The closer you get to the edge of the land, the more violent the void storm becomes, and the environment becomes more dangerous. Close to the true boundary, every rock here has been soaked in the void force for many years and has become extremely hard, exceeding the hardness of high-strength alloy steel.
And there are often strong winds here without warning. Coupled with the space cracks that may appear at any time, it is really dangerous every step of the way.
Ji Tianqing kept walking, climbing peaks and crossing valleys, taking Song Zining in circles in this dangerous area. In less than a day, Song Zining was blown away by the strong wind twice and hit the rocky pillars hard. Even he couldn't bear this kind of impact. He had more than ten wounds on his body and two broken ribs.
Seeing that Ji Tianqing was still ahead without stopping, Song Zining, who was almost blown away by the strong wind again, couldn't bear it and shouted: "Wait, where are the resources you mentioned? It seems that we have already been here!"
"Resources? Isn't this all?" Ji Tianqing picked up a stone, smashed it open, dug out a blue crystal from it, and threw it to Song Zining.
Song Zining has been running Ningyuan Heavy Industry for many years and has long been familiar with all kinds of rare materials. At a glance, he knew that this piece of blue crystal was a high-grade material specially used for certain force arrays. One as big as his finger was enough to build several high-level force guns and was worth a lot of money.
However, this kind of material is hidden deep in the rocks and cannot be detected unless it is exposed. At least Song Zining has no way to do it. It would be impossible if every stone was broken open and looked at. The rocks here are extremely hard, and even Ji Tianqing had to exert all his strength to smash them open several times. Looking around, there are many mountains around, and there are more than thousands of gravels? This is going to happen in any year or month.
Song Zining was willing to test and asked about resources every once in a while. Sometimes Ji Tianqing didn't pay attention at all, sometimes he dug casually and dug out two strange medicines that had been frozen for many years, or he picked up a stone covered with dots of crystal grains, which was another rare ore.
The two of them walked like this for three whole days, and Song Zining's backpack was filled with all kinds of strange things.
"Wait, Tianqing, have we almost harvested the resources? We should go back." Song Zining said tactfully. In fact, he was now in ragged clothes and covered with wounds. His romantic and unrestrained style had long been forgotten. It was really overwhelming. And since he had never rested in the past three days, he didn't even have time to deal with the broken ribs, so he could only use the force to protect them.
Ji Tianqing also had a tired look on her eyebrows, but she was in much better condition than Song Zining. This is not to say that she is stronger than Song Zining, but that she has endless secret methods. She can not only discover precious mineral resources everywhere, but also have insight into most dangers and always avoid them in advance. Apart from anything else, at least she was not blown away by the strong wind once.
After looking at Song Zining's current state, the anger in Ji Tianqing's eyes subsided a little, and she changed direction and walked towards the interior of the continent. Song Zining finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the items in the backpack are indeed worth a lot of money, Song Zining is so smart that he certainly knows that Ji Tianqing's purpose in the past few days was not to collect resources at all, but to torment and torture him. Therefore, Qi Shao knew it well and took the initiative to be blown away by the strong wind several times, even breaking his own ribs. Only then did Miss Tianqing's resentment disappear a little.
After leaving the edge of the continent, Song Zining asked carefully: "Tian Qing, why are you so angry suddenly?"
Ji Tianqing said coldly, "It's nothing, I'm just not interested in your idea anymore."
"But"
"No but. Do you still want to collect resources?"
Song Zining shut up obediently.
Ji Tianqing's methods are unpredictable. Even Qianye can't see through her, and naturally neither can Song Zining. So until now, Song Zining couldn't even guess whether she was really angry or had other ideas. This also made Song Zining, who had always been versatile, feel helpless.
After walking in silence for half a day, Ji Tianqing finally said, "I'm going to get some things. You can go back first."
Song Zining asked cautiously: "You don't want to go back to the empire, do you?"
"Of course not."
With these words, Ji Tianqing left Song Zining behind, walked south alone, and disappeared into the wilderness in the blink of an eye.
Song Zining didn’t know what was in that direction or what she was going to do. As smart as he was, he didn't understand why Ji Tianqing came secretly to spy on Ye Tong, nor why he spent three days torturing himself. Just to vent your anger? At least as far as Song Zining knew, she would never do such boring things.
Looking at the direction in which Ji Tianqing left, Song Zining shrugged, with a bright and sunny smile on his face, and said to himself: "Fortunately, I have prepared a backup plan, so I don't worry about you not taking the bait!"
This place is quite far away from Nan Qingcheng. Song Zining was not in a hurry. Instead, he found a place to stay, connected the broken bones, tended to the wounds, and rested for a night until his physical and mental strength returned to its best condition. , and then hit the road.
The Seven Young Masters have long heard about the dangers of the neutral ground and will definitely not put themselves in danger.
However, Qi Shao's luck didn't seem to be very good. He didn't go far, and as soon as he left the mountainous area on the edge of the continent, he was blocked by a group of mercenaries.
Looking at the group of mercenaries with tattered armor and mercenaries who were not even level five, Song Zining suddenly felt speechless. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, not even a bird, let alone a human being.
But in this deserted wasteland with a radius of hundreds of miles, the dignified Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty was actually stopped. Although Song Zining had no intention of changing direction, being intercepted like this was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Is there really such a clever way to do things in the world?
At this time, the tallest of the mercenaries came out, looked Song Zining up and down, with disdain on his face, poked him in the chest with the force gun, and said: "Young face, look at how weak you are. You're so small, I guess I can't even punch you. Hand over your backpack quickly and take out everything in your pockets. I'll leave some water and dry food for you."
This tall mercenary looks a bit silly. The Force gun in his hand is obviously produced by a small rural workshop. It is a bit reluctant to call it a Force gun. It is just a thick iron pipe with a butt.
Song Zining's smile has become a little weird at this moment, and he really doesn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.
However, the big man suddenly said again: "Look at your virtue, you have to carry so many things even if your bones are broken. You really need money rather than your life!"
Song Zining was suddenly startled, and suddenly broke out in a thin layer of cold sweat!
This clumsy mercenary can actually see that he has broken ribs. Doesn't that mean he can also see through all the secrets of his body? Song Zining has mastered the Three Thousand Floating Leaves Technique so successfully that even Qianye can hardly see through it, and there is no possibility of it being deduced and calculated by anyone. Could it be that this clumsy mercenary is actually an enemy in disguise?
In an instant, countless figures passed through Song Zining's mind. There are military officials, important figures from the White Clan, opponents from Ningyuan Heavy Industry, and various elder brothers within the Song Clan. Suddenly, Song Zining discovered that he had quite a few enemies, and this was just within the empire. There must be quite a few people coming to Yong Ye who wanted his head.
Just when Song Zining was counting down his possible enemies, there was a sudden light on his back, and the straps of his backpack had been cut off. Then a figure suddenly moved away, and Song Zining's backpack was already behind that person.
Looking at the white dress and the seemingly stiff and childish, but actually extremely fast running movements, Song Zining was shocked and lost his voice: "Baikongzhao!"
He started to chase, but stopped after two steps. The girl was extremely fast and was gone in the blink of an eye. Her aura was so integrated with her surroundings that Song Zining couldn't lock onto her at all. And as soon as Song Zining had the idea of chasing him to the end, his hair stood on end, and he had a premonition of extreme danger.
Song Zining has also heard of Bai Kongzhao’s past achievements. This girl is obviously mediocre in strength, but she is able to create many strange battles, causing many masters who are far stronger than her to fall under her sword.
Some people also analyze that her combat intuition is extremely powerful, but no matter how strong it is, there is a limit. Song Zining once studied some of her battle situations, but couldn't figure it out. Later, there were many things to do, so I put them aside. Unexpectedly, he met her again in a neutral place far away from the empire.
The wilderness with complex terrain can be said to be her best battlefield. Song Zining has always been cautious and is not willing to fight her rashly without being sure. What's more, that backpack was filled with stones and minerals that Ji Tianqing had picked up. They were in bits and pieces, and in his eyes, they were not as useful as a black stone vein.
So after sensing the danger, Song Zining decisively stopped. Even if you chase, you probably won't be able to catch up. Moreover, Bai Kongzhao didn't have the slightest intention to kill just now. He was running for the backpack wholeheartedly. Otherwise, Song Zining must have sensed it and there would be no chance of her sneak attack.
When he thought of this, Song Zining couldn't help but be stunned. Could it be that the girl came to a neutral place just to grab something?
He looked back at the mercenaries. Seeing Song Zining glance at him, the mercenaries suddenly changed their appearance. They all knelt down on the ground, crying and begging for his life, saying that they were all coerced by the female devil. If they didn't obey, they would die. .
Looking at this group of mercenaries who were obviously in great embarrassment, the dignified Seventh Young Master of the Song Dynasty was a little reluctant to take action. In the end, he could only sigh and kicked the clumsy mercenary, and forget about it. It's past.
Song Zining didn't want to stay any longer, waved his sleeves and left, disappearing beyond the horizon in the blink of an eye.
When he walked away, the mercenaries stood up one after another, and the groveling they had just done was gone. At that moment, someone laughed and said: "Young lady is right, these young men can't bear to see others surrender and beg for mercy, so they passed the test. It's so easy to make money."
The clumsy mercenary got up with a groan and said angrily: "How can I relax? My bones are almost broken by the kick! No, hurry up and divide the money!"
"Split the money, split the money!" A group of mercenaries shouted, and the leader had no choice but to take out his money bag and divide the spoils on the spot.
In fact, Song Zining was standing not far away, looking at this scene, his face was livid with anger. Fortunately, there is a field to cover up the figure, otherwise he might be killed and silenced when he becomes angry.
