Night Without End
Chapter 55 - 55 37 The Big Explosion

55: Chapter 37 The Big Explosion 55: Chapter 37 The Big Explosion Qin Ming was very familiar with this area and immediately found a pile of rocks in the snow.

He picked up a long-shaped stone that was very similar, broke it forcefully, and threw it into the area he had just been, then quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

He guessed that only young Newcomers like him, who came out of curiosity, would rush over to take a look.

The old fellows wouldn’t stop, because Spiritual Material’s stone skin was not very useful.

The main thing was that the thing taken out by the woman in green was too dazzling, impossible to hide or cover up; it illuminated the entire night sky in an instant, causing all High level Abnormalities and people from big organizations to trail after her.

Who would want a worthless stone when a rare treasure was in sight?

Even though the woman in green decisively absorbed that mysterious object, her forehead was still glowing, like a beacon guiding the way.

After some time, indeed, someone came looking for the abandoned stone skin.

This was the outer area of the mountain, with not many experts around.

The old and vigorous were appearing in places with special nodes.

Moments later, six or seven Newcomers actually started fighting over the long-shaped stone piece that had been broken.

This time, although Qin Ming’s expression was very calm, there were ripples in his heart, especially since the “Corner Material” he had picked up came from the most mysterious object in the mountains.

A spectacle of a ten-color pillar of light piercing the sky is unheard of; not even the books had recorded it, let alone that it had merged and unified with the Five Colored Smoke and Mist.

He surmised, the big organizations and High level Creatures that hadn’t arrived earlier must be regretting it bitterly.

There was consensus among all parties that the Heavenly Light that fell two years ago was the dimmest, indicating that this place would not be rich and was destined to have poor resources.

And now, Black and White Mountain had “exploded”!

Especially since this might involve a separate Heavenly Light accumulated two hundred years ago.

Even the upper echelons of the Royal Capital would probably be losing sleep over it.

Back then, they had come with great force, but in the end, they acquired so little that they were infuriated and wanted to flatten the mountain.

Clearly, in a few days, the name of Black and White Mountain that had been quiet for many years, would once again spread throughout the many dazzling cities in the night mist.

Qin Ming stood in the dense forest and crushed the half-piece of stone that had no fluctuations to find it indeed contained nothing.

He held the other half-piece of stone, his hesitation evident because the noise caused by the “Main Ingredients” was so terrifying.

Even though Corner Material was far from comparable, it was expected to be extraordinary.

Not to mention witnessing a spectacle, just a brush of “Flowing Fire” here could probably set ablaze the entire dense forest.

After all, Shallow Night had already ended; under such a deep and inklike darkness, any abnormality would be glaringly conspicuous.

Not long after, Qin Ming walked out of the dense forest and, following the old rules, left the half-piece of stone in the mountains.

There was no rush; he calmed himself and waited for the storm to ferment further.

The most mysterious object of Black and White Mountain was destined to be hotly debated by everyone, causing a sensation across all corners, rendering everything else insignificant.

In fact, that most mysterious object had already exploded the night sky; the different parties were blocking the woman in green, and high-level Alien Species were spilling blood.

“Faster!” urged the woman in the black Fur Cloak, standing on the back of a huge black bird, her tall figure radiating light and blocking the wind and snow.

The Purple eyed Crow said, “Tang Jin, you really don’t feel the pain when you speak while standing.

I’m almost breathless from flying.

That’s a Golden Roc, rarely anything in the realm of speed can compare to it.

The fact that I’m continuously closing the distance is already exceptional among crows!”

“Hisss, that woman is fierce, causing a High level Creature to rapidly spill blood in the night sky!” exclaimed the Purple eyed Crow, even slowing its speed slightly.

“Don’t be afraid, take advantage of her being blocked and catch up immediately!” Tang Jin urged, holding a seemingly ordinary pale yellow straw rope in her hand.

“You didn’t take down the rope from your teacher’s beam, did you?

Wasn’t it tied to a…” The Purple eyed Crow was shocked.

“It’s not that one!” Tang Jin urged it to speed up again.

The Purple eyed Crow flapped its wings and gradually closed in.

Ahead, the Crimson Lightning Bird, which was the fastest, had caught up with the woman in green, but in the blink of an eye, it was seriously wounded.

Under the night sky, the snowflakes falling around the woman on the Golden Roc were dyed gold by mysterious means, fluttering in the sky, but their speed increased by hundreds of times.

She stood on the back of the roc, seemingly motionless, but the brilliant gold snowflakes had already drawn many mysterious trajectories, slashing at the Crimson Lightning Bird from all angles, tearing through its outer light, and in an instant, it was covered in blood.

The Alien Species Crimson Lightning Bird was fierce, emitting a high-pitched cry as if its body was burning.

A massive amount of crimson light erupted, expanding in all directions.

It resembled a red sun lying there, illuminating the night sky.

All the gold snowflakes melted in an instant, but terrifyingly, they were not completely evaporated.

Instead, the golden light suddenly intensified, turning into a continuous rain.

All the gold raindrops were infinitely elongated and then intertwined.

A piercing bird cry rang out, and the huge Crimson Lightning Bird was sliced into dozens, hundreds of pieces, under the dense fine lines formed by the gold raindrops.

Whether it was its flesh or Spiritual-rich feathers, all were cut open by the gold lines and no longer intact, falling towards the pitch-black ground.

The Purple eyed Crow grimaced, wanting to turn and flee, but Tang Jin on its back took action.

The plain straw rope shone brightly, extending out and rushing towards the woman in green.

“People from Liuguang City?!” The woman on the Golden Roc recognized Tang Jin’s identity the moment she saw the straw rope.

“Can it be done?” The Purple eyed Crow was not confident.

“Rush over immediately, hit her on the head, and by all means, try to snag half of the divine gift!” Tang Jin urged with all his might as the golden light radiated from the grass rope.

…

That night, Qin Ming had a good sleep.

Contentment brings happiness; with just a little gain, he felt very satisfied.

The most mysterious treasures were too far out of reach for him to covet, so he gave them no thought.

The next day, when he went up the mountain with Mu Qing, Cao Long, and Wei Zhi Rou, Qin Ming heard a lot of explosive news.

“It’s terrifying!

Last night the distant night sky was aflame.

Some of the strong members from major organizations and High level Creatures perished in great numbers.

They actually failed to stop that woman in green.”

“The main issue is the scarcity of Alien Species that can fly.

If true masters could take to the skies, it would be a completely different situation.”

“It’s said that Lord Ling almost broke his own leg from smacking it in regret for not buying a mount capable of speedy flight.

Annoyed, he ran straight back to Chixia City.”

People were discussing animatedly, sharing various pieces of news, leaving everyone who had gone up the mountain on edge, fearing the wrath of High level Creatures.

It’s understandable, since anyone would feel enraged and ready to spit blood if they were hijacked in such a manner,” Cao Long said as he sat atop a huge bull.

“You’re right, I don’t even dare to venture into the deep mountains now,” a creature spoke from the treetops.

Cao Long was startled—who was speaking in mid-air?

He quickly looked up and saw the talking sparrow and lost his composure, hurling the Big Spear in his hand towards the tree.

With a crack, the entire canopy fell thunderously as the main trunk was broken.

The talking sparrow traced a graceful trajectory against the night sky, flying away nimbly.

“Don’t bother getting angry with it,” Old Man Liu said.

“Rest assured, once early spring arrives, when it starts to reproduce, I’ll help you get even.

If we can’t mess with it directly, can’t we catch its offspring?”

Cao Long immediately clapped his hands, saying, “Great, I want to raise a few talking sparrows, especially if I can catch that one from before.”

For a while, Cao Long and Old Man Liu got engrossed in their conversation, finding much to agree on.

Before long, Old Man Liu casually mentioned, “There are limited special points in the mountains, so few and hard to find, but there are other opportunities within, though they are extremely dangerous.

For instance, there are zones inhabited by creatures that have undergone three mutations.

Do you dare to touch them?”

“Are there still places like that left?” Cao Long asked.

“Some of the old-timers have already taken action, sweeping the mountain yesterday.

I’m afraid that there’s nothing much left in terms of Spiritual Material in the outer area of the mountain.”

As for the deep interior of the mountain, he would absolutely not venture there, not even in alliance with Mu Qing and Wei Zhi Rou.

That was not a place where they could risk their lives.

Thumping his chest confidently, Old Man Liu said, “There are indeed such places that others can’t find, but I know them like the back of my hand.”

Hearing this, Cao Long’s eyes immediately sparkled.

“No problem, if we can get a good harvest, you will certainly have your share.”

Mu Qing and Wei Zhi Rou also nodded in agreement.

Rather than search for uncertain special points, it was better to head straight for places rich in Spiritual Material.

Qin Ming immediately knew where Old Man Liu wanted to take them—the old man had mentioned it over drinks that night.

Fire Bat Cave, in a passageway leading towards the interior of the mountain, a deep path that required venturing far inside.

There, Fire Spring was home to a large group of Fire Bats, and the strongest among them had mutated three times.

There was no Spiritual Material inside Fire Bat bodies, but their droppings, when they fell nearby, helped a kind of Spiritually-rich red grass to grow, which could aid in Second Rebirth.

Originally, Qin Ming was pondering when he could share the Fire Snake, which was no longer of much use to him, with Old Man Liu and Lu Ze.

But he hadn’t expected Old Man Liu to have his own ways of obtaining Spiritual Objects.

The expedition to the Fire Bat Cave, though tumultuous, resulted in some of the younger members of the three teams getting injured.

But with Cao Long, Wei Zhi Rou, and Mu Qing at the helm, it was hardly suspenseful.

Aside from some grass seeds left behind, all of the red grass was pulled out.

Old Man Liu was in high spirits, cradling a clump of fiery, glowing plants in his arms.

The grass was no more than three inches tall but contained a rich vitality and Spirituality.

Before Shallow Night approached, Qin Ming hunted a wild buffalo and took the opportunity to stuff the half-piece of rock into its belly.

Then he met up with Cao Long, Mu Qing, and the others.

It had been a long time since he last hunted, and now bringing back prey was perfectly reasonable—most importantly, he had a very good relationship with this group.

Even if some people were keeping watch outside the mountain, scrutinizing those who came down, they would not be inclined to interrogate Qin Ming and Old Man Liu, who were with Mu Qing and Cao Long.

All of them managed to emerge from the mountain successfully with their personal gains.

That night, Qin Ming was so preoccupied that he didn’t even care to have dinner.

Upon returning home, he started to examine the half-piece of rock.

“What’s going on?” he felt a slight sinking in his heart.

From the moment he took the rock out of the mountain today, he felt something was off, as he did not feel the faint vibrations.

Now, as he focused his mind and held it with both hands, he still sensed nothing special.

Ever since he was eroded and adapted in the fissure, Qin Ming had an extraordinary and special perception towards mysterious treasures nourished by Heavenly Light.

However, now, he could no longer detect anything inside.

Taking a deep breath, he started to carefully peel away the stone skin.

If he could feel the vibrations again, he might stop and wait a few more days before cutting it open.

But as he crumbled away most of the rock, there was still no anomaly, no sign of anything.

Just as his heart kept sinking, he unexpectedly grasped a piece of a mysterious object, yet without any signs appearing, not even a trace of the Heavenly Light that should have remained seemed to seep through.

“What is this?!” Even someone as usually composed as Qin Ming couldn’t help being startled to the point of nearly jumping up.
