Night Without End
Chapter 61 - 61 40 Fame Spreads Far and Wide_2

61: Chapter 40: Fame Spreads Far and Wide_2 61: Chapter 40: Fame Spreads Far and Wide_2 Despite this, a large number of flying sickle birds still surged up, dense as locusts.

At least a thousand slipped through the net, indeed becoming a plague.

They were about a foot long, with particularly large and sharp beaks, and extremely ferocious.

When their nests were attacked and covered, they all charged over fearlessly and without regard for their own lives.

Thankfully, everyone was clad in armor.

When swarms of flying sickle birds dived, even if some broke through to the front, they could still be blocked.

Qin Ming, Xu Yueping, and others were no exception.

In the past few days, they had been leading three teams through the mountains and were each given a set of armor.

In the end, a great number of flying sickle birds were killed, especially more within the net-covered nests.

After clearing the mountain cliffs, the ground was layered with bird carcasses.

Many of the fierce birds still flew away, but with the majority dealt with and their nests destroyed, they dared not return soon.

Moreover, with their numbers reduced, the villagers also dared to hunt them.

Black Sheep Knight Yang Yongqing was responsible for notifying the villagers, telling them to bring sacks to collect the bird carcasses.

It would be a tremendous waste to discard so much meat.

During these days, Qin Ming was always paying attention to the various groups in the mountain, but he never found the people he was looking for.

“Those two people are in their early thirties; the woman has a mole in the middle of her right eyebrow, the man has unusually long arms, but alas, there are no matching people.”

Originally, those two people had rescued him from the hands of the Feathered Robed Youth, brought him far away from the city, and left him in Yinteng Town after exploring Black and White Mountain.

Yet, they did not show up this time.

In the meantime, Qin Ming kept his promise, repeatedly contacting the Old Noble’s people, informing them of his sightings in the mountains, and which organizations had obtained more peculiar products.

Old Noble Xie Jingrui sighed, as what he needed never showed up.

Today, he personally entered the mountain, and he actually went directly into the deepest part of the mountain, which greatly shook many of the old men from Chixia City.

Since Ling Xu and Li Huamao left, now no one dared to venture deep.

In the mountain, not to mention the mysterious Mountain Master, even the foot-long Old Weasel going mad scared people; carrying donkeys everywhere, it clearly became unstable after being intercepted by the lady in green.

Who would dare touch this mold?

Half a day later, Old Noble Xie Jingrui walked out quietly, pinching two very short plant roots in his hand, one black and one white.

He sighed lightly, “Deep within the mountain, there indeed remain the roots of the Black and White Tree, nourished by the Heavenly Light, and turned into such mysterious and valuable products!”

Qin Ming was acting alone, searching for special nodes.

Seeing him coming, he asked, “Did you find what you wanted?”

“I made some discoveries, but someone beat me to it,” Xie Jingrui stood in the mountain forest, somewhat helpless, and sighed, “It’s a pity.

I’m wounded and can’t fight long in the chaos, or else I would have entered the mountain earlier.”

“Are there no clues left?” Qin Ming realized that the roots of the Black and White Tree, nourished by the Heavenly Light, were very important to the Old Noble.

Two years ago, he came for it for the first time to get it.

Xie Jingrui said, “I know who took it away.

I need to make a trip to Chixia City.”

“It’s not Lingxu City Lord, is it?” Qin Ming asked.

The Old Noble nodded, he had asked Wei Mo, who took the route of God Road of the Immortal of Colossal Spirit, and was informed that Ling Xu had lingered there for a long time.

Xie Jingrui said, “No wonder Ling Xu missed the strongest mysterious product and ran straight back to Chixia City.

They say he was so angry he almost broke his thigh, regretting not having a flight mount.

In truth, he is afraid others will know he has another big gain.

He took this opportunity to flee.

He’s really sly.

Still dressed in white as a scholar?

I think he should change into black clothes instead.”

Qin Ming fell silent as well, and at the same time, found it peculiar that the Old Noble would talk to him so much before leaving.

Soon he knew the answer.

Xie Jingrui said, “That Purple-eyed Crow is very optimistic about you.

Work hard.

This place is too remote and isolated.

Leave it as soon as you can.”

He was about to leave Yinteng Town, setting off immediately after leaving the mountain.

“Miss Xie will be leaving with you, right?”

“Mm-hmm, until next time if fate allows!” Old Noble Xie Jingrui vanished in a flash, disappearing from the woods with an unbelievable speed.

From afar, a great commotion could be heard.

When Qin Ming rushed over, he found a group of nobles in glamorous attire and on spirited horses confronting Cao Long, Wei Zhi Rou, and Mu Qing.

The major families of Chixia City were not harmonious as one might expect, and with the Cao, Wei, and Mu families coming together, other major clans naturally banded together to enter the mountains.

Just moments ago, someone had made a move on Cao Long but was defeated quite swiftly, sent flying, to everyone’s surprise.

At this time, a youth clad in Golden Armor, riding on a mutated Golden Leopard, pressed forward with a powerful aura.

Cao Long said coldly, “Feng Xing, don’t stir up trouble.

That old man from the Wang family wanted to steal my Seventh Uncle’s Longevity Tree and got repelled by me.

Do you have a problem with that?

Are you going to stand up for the Wang family?”

The youth atop the Golden Leopard, Feng Xing, spoke indifferently, “Two years have gone by since I last saw you.

I’ve heard you’ve made great strides in strength.

We’ve fought our way here as well.

Let’s spar now.”

“What, you want a fight, right?

You think I’m afraid of you!”

The onlookers also hailed from Chixia City, knowing each other to some extent.

Although they were mainly divided into two factions, there were also neutral nobles who spoke up to mediate.

“Big brother Feng Xing, big brother Cao Long, you are both outstanding figures of Chixia City who stepped into the giant city.

Don’t harm the good relations.

Now that your strength is so high, an accident could have unpredictable consequences.”

Those daring enough to step forward and try to stop the confrontation naturally had some significant background.

A young man, who had been speaking, rode in on a White Rhinoceros from afar, arriving in the dense forest.

He was very handsome, dressed in silver armor, exuding a noble and extraordinary aura.

Beside him, sat a young lady on a Black Tiger, her figure graceful, clad in purple-gold armor, with arched eyebrows and bright, dazzling eyes, catching the attention of many young men who couldn’t help but take a few extra glances upon her arrival.

With the appearance of this pair of striking young man and woman, many greeted them warmly, acting courteously towards them despite being older.

Following behind this striking pair of young man and woman was a large crowd, centering around them as if stars surrounding the moon.

Through the quiet conversations of the others, Qin Ming understood why these two were so eye-catching.

When these two became Newcomers this year, they took Chixia City by storm, the most dazzling in twenty years, stunning the entire region, outshining those who had built a Golden Foundation over the years.

Indeed, after the youth spoke, Feng Xing gave face, putting away his Weapons and exchanging a few laughs with him.

“Who is Qin Ming?” The silver-armored youth Nie Rui asked, handsome and shining, looking through the crowd.

Qin Ming frowned.

How would he know about him?

Nie Rui smiled and said, “I went to visit Master Xu Kong and wanted to spar with his Disciple during that period.

However, Zhou Wubing claimed to be unwell and not up for a fight, yet he highly praised you, saying you are stronger than him.

I am really curious; is there a youth locally who is even more powerful than a Disciple personally taught by Master Xu Kong?

So I came to take a look.”

Qin Ming was astonished; sick boy really was sick!
