Night's Nomenclature
Chapter 306: Fire Pit in the Snowy Mountains and the Girl beside the Fire Pit

Qing Chen walked through the long corridor, took the most handy weapon from the room, Ashes-012, a 9-round magazine, 5.6mm caliber. Convenient to carry.

After preparing, he did not rush out but waited quietly for the return.

He held a new Gene Medicine in each hand, one was FDE-005 Serum, and the other was FDE-004.

Qing Chen originally thought that the box Li Changqing gave him only had the remaining 002 and 001, but he didn't expect this woman to be so generous. She said she would send a set, even including those Qing Chen wouldn't use.

Perfect, FDE-005 Serum for Outer World Li Dongze, FDE-004 for Liu Dezhu.

As for the one Li Dongze brought back for Hu Xiaoniu, it can be sold to Zhang Chengze.

Now, the Daybreak organization already possesses the complete Cultivation method. Even if everyone can't take the Knight's path, they can still cultivate the Zhunti Method.

Gene Medicine is no longer significant to them.

Qing Chen glanced at the time; there was still a moment left.

At this time, he suddenly saw the fruit plate on the living room table. The apples inside, because they had been placed there for too long, had dried into apple chips.

Looking at the apples, Qing Chen suddenly remembered the girl on the wildland, wondering what she was doing.

……

……

The winter in the southwest snowy mountains seemed unaffected by seasonal changes.

The Wildlanders living here were accustomed to the temperature; winter wasn't particularly harsh for them. Instead, during spring and summer, the melting snow and ice on the mountain brought flood seasons, causing river water levels to rise and reducing their living space.

At this time, a group of people were driving an Off-road Vehicle on a rugged mountain road, heading into the snowy mountains.

Although it was already late at night, the sky here hadn't completely darkened. The white snow seemed to glow at night.

As the vehicle bumped along, the knuckle bones strung together with hemp rope around the necks of the Wildlanders in the car clattered together.

There were a total of 32 pickup trucks. The truck beds of the first twenty-nine were filled with prey and furs, including the carcass of a large wild bull.

The wild bull's horns had dark red patterns, and there was a touch of vermilion red on its forehead, like a closed third eye.

That was the prey captured by a God Son who had just completed his coming-of-age ceremony, hunted from a Forbidden Zone.

Behind these twenty-nine vehicles, there were three more trucks loaded with diesel and scattered modern technological items—their spoils from raiding a Federation production base.

On top of that pile of miscellaneous goods sat a girl with wheat-colored skin, wrapped in a thick fur coat, staring blankly at the magnificent snowy mountains in the distance.

At this moment, the moonlight reflected off the earth's sky and refracted down, shining on the solitary snowy mountain.

It was as if a lamp had been lit on the snowy mountain, burning continuously.

The peak of the snowy mountain was hidden in the clouds, making people curious about what the top of the mountain looked like.

In the car, an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy turned his head and shouted, “Yiyi, did you see that? That's our sacred mountain. Legend says that the gods were born there. On that day, there was a huge hand surrounded by light in the sky that placed a baby on the top of the snowy mountain, and then the gods grew up among the mountains.”

The speaker was the God Son who had just completed his coming-of-age ceremony, the son of an elder.

But the girl sitting in the truck bed didn't respond. She thought this legend was a bit far-fetched. Wouldn't a baby freeze to death if it were left on a snowy mountain?

And what would the baby eat to grow up on the snowy mountain? Eat snow?

Yiyi didn't respond to the God Son's words, as if she hadn't heard anything.

She stared at the snowy mountain, thinking that the snow was as beautiful as the boy's skin.

The peak of the snowy mountain hidden in the clouds was also as mysterious as the boy.

Seeing Yiyi ignoring him, the God Son in the car scratched his head and asked, “Why don't you come into the car? There's still room in here.”

Yiyi said, “No, thank you.”

Then, she took out the last apple from her fur coat pocket.

The apple was a bit dried out, but Yiyi was reluctant to eat it. Whenever she missed her hometown and someone, she would take it out and smell the apple scent.

It was as if the scent could take her back to a night by the campfire, when the boy and the middle-aged man had just arrived at their camp and asked if they could spend the night nearby.

However, Qin Yiyi has always been different from others. When she met the stunning boy, she didn't become dejected but tried her best to get closer to him.

Whether or not you can possess something, you have to try before you know.

Children of the wilderness have always dared to love and hate.

It was because of this idea that she came to the southwest snowy mountains to look for the Fire Pit.

The car slowly drove along the road. When they passed through a narrow mountain pass, the scenery in the snowy mountains suddenly changed, becoming lush and green.

This was a deep and wide mountain valley plain. The massive crust had torn apart here, and because it was so wide open, it formed a plain-like deep valley.

In this valley, a lukewarm river flowed through, emitting hot steam.

It was clearly a hot spring gushing from the ground. The rising water vapor soared upward, forming a cloud that never dissipated above the valley.

Yiyi looked curiously at the valley, thinking that it was so vast. Without considering the climate, it would be no problem to plant thousands of acres of farmland here.

The valley was warm and humid, more than ten degrees warmer than the outside temperature.

Surprisingly, the warm river water had no sulfur smell. Yiyi saw women fetching water from the river bank, and it seemed that the entire Fire Pit's domestic water came from here.

Rows of wooden houses were built in the valley plain, looking quite exquisite. People inside saw the returning convoy and happily ran outside, young people and children.

The convoy hadn't stopped yet, only driving slowly. They jumped, hopped, and laughed around the convoy, curiously looking at the unfamiliar Face^[-] in the truck bed, Qin Yiyi.

The elders and women of the Fire Pit tribe stood in place, laughing happily.

After getting off the car, the elder who had once led the team to Forbidden Zone 002 hurried toward the depths of the valley plain. That was the Grand Elder's residence; he had to tell the Grand Elder about some strange things in the Forbidden Zone.

“Jia Cuo Brother, who is that girl behind?” a child asked, looking at the God Son.

Jia Cuo leaned his arm on the car window and smiled, “She's a girl who wants to come to the Fire Pit, but she lost her way in the snowy mountains.”

The child looked at Jia Cuo and then at the back of the truck bed, as if curious about everything: “Brother, she's so pretty.”

Jia Cuo reached out of the window and rubbed the child's head, laughing: “You're just a little calf; you don't understand what pretty means.”

By Federation standards, Qin Yiyi wasn't considered particularly beautiful, simply because her skin was darker, and there were a few tiny freckles on either side of her nose.

The Federation considered white to be beautiful. They would even put thick makeup on their faces during grand festivals to make their skin appear pure white.

However, in the eyes of the Fire Pit people, Qin Yiyi was extremely beautiful, a rare beauty.

Thinking of this, Jia Cuo wanted to secretly look back at Qin Yiyi but held back.

The child looked at Qin Yiyi and frankly asked: “Sister, do you have someone you like? If not, can you marry me when I grow up?”

Qin Yiyi looked at the little child with a gemstone ornament on his head and thought for a moment, “I do.”

“Okay, then I'll ask Azhen next door,” the little child was a little disappointed.

Qin Yiyi couldn't help but laugh. Were the feelings in this tribe so casual?

At this moment, Qin Yiyi, sitting in the truck bed, suddenly felt a palpitation. She silently looked towards a distant house, at the Fire Pit that was burning without firewood.

The Fire Pit was built of black stones. She didn't know where the stones came from; they were so pure and flawless.

For some reason, Qin Yiyi only glanced at the Fire Pit and determined that the power that made her heart palpitate came from there.

As the convoy continued to drive deeper into the valley plain, the palpitation became more intense.

At this time, the elder leading the team had lifted the curtain and entered the Grand Elder's house.

An old man sat cross-legged on the carpet, meditating with his eyes closed. As he meditated, he began to feel sleepy.

“Ada, I'm back,” the elder leading the team patted the dust off his body: “The Qing Family's main branch broke their promise. I brought so many Wind-Junhua pollen but couldn't wait until the person they wanted us to kill entered the heart of the Forbidden Zone.”

The old man slowly opened his eyes: “Did you contact them?”

“I did,” the elder leading the team said inexplicably: “After our mission failed, we stayed in Federation territory for a few more days. We only found out by watching their news that the person the Qing Family's main branch wanted us to kill was already dead. However, everyone says we killed him... The Qing Family's main branch also delivered this batch of military supplies to the Wildlanders as promised.”

The old man thought for a moment: “Isn't that good?”

“It's good,” the elder leading the team wondered, “But the problem is, we didn't do it. I feel something is fishy.”

“There's nothing to be fishy about, Yang Cuo. Life is about being unconfused... What you gain unintentionally may be what the gods want to give you,” the old man muddled through.

“Alright,” the elder leading the team, Yang Cuo, said with a toothache: “Thank you, God.”

At this moment, Qing Chen didn't know that he had inadvertently become a god for the Fire Pit tribe. If he knew, he would probably find it quite exciting.

However, as they were speaking, a wave of heat surged in from outside, lifting the Grand Elder's curtain.

The Grand Elder's eyes flashed with brilliance. He looked at the Fire Pit outside through the open curtain and saw a strange girl slowly approaching.

As the girl got closer, the flames in the Fire Pit became more vigorous.

Before Yang Cuo, the elder leading the team, could react, he found that the originally frail Grand Elder had flashed to the side of the Fire Pit like thunder.

The Grand Elder carefully observed the flames, and within them, a figure vaguely appeared.

That figure was none other than Qin Yiyi.

Except that Qin Yiyi in the flames was no longer wearing a tattered fur coat; she stood majestically like a warrior, holding a long sword in her hand.

The Grand Elder looked back at the long sword hanging on the wall of his room, identical to the one revealed in the flames: “It's over, God asked me to send the sword! My sword!”

The next moment, the scene in the flames changed, and totem patterns began to appear on the girl's body.

The Grand Elder was stunned: “An outsider God Son!”

He looked at Qin Yiyi on the opposite side in astonishment. Mysterious black totems were constantly spreading on the girl's body.

A Dharma Image suddenly opened behind her, and a gorgeous Vermillion Bird with a long tail flew towards the sky, its clear cry echoing through the valley plain.

But the light and shadow in the flames hadn't ended. Next to the girl in the fire, another boy appeared, quietly standing there, gazing at the Grand Elder.

The fire flickered. The Grand Elder was stunned for a moment: “Who is this? There have never been two people in the Fire Pit before. Could it be the gods themselves?”

Yang Cuo, the elder leading the team, stared blankly at this scene: “Oh, my!”

……

……

Return Countdown. Return.

The world fell into darkness and then lit up again.

Qing Chen was still in the hotel in Miancheng, Outer World. Not far from him, Jiang Xue was still staring intently at his arm falling.

“Aunt Jiang Xue, how was the past seven days?” Qing Chen greeted with a smile.

Although everyone was still in this room, they hadn't seen each other for seven days.

This was a strange experience.

Jiang Xue smiled: “After this crossing, my skill in installing Cybernetic Limbs has improved. I can independently complete some limb installation techniques.”

Qing Chen curiously asked: “What exactly does the Inner World use to connect Cybernetic Limbs to the flesh?”

Jiang Xue replied: “Biomimetic Nanobots. That's the most critical part of Cybernetic Limbs. These little guys rely on human bioenergy to survive, connecting the Cybernetic Limbs to the human body.”

“I see,” Qing Chen nodded: “Aunt Jiang Xue, pack your things. We might return to Luo City at dawn.”

“Okay.”

Qing Chen turned to the next room. Nangeng Chen had also returned, staring at Outer World Li Dongze.

Li Dongze watched Qing Chen go out and return in a short time, a little curious: “Did you just return? I saw it online, saying that you Time Travelers have double the time... Is there something I can discuss with you?”

Qing Chen glanced at him: “Speak.”

“It's like this,” Li Dongze weighed his words: “Is the Inner World Li Dongze's status very high? So high that people need to fight for me?”

“You're not stupid after all. After four days in the hotel, you finally figured it out?” Qing Chen asked: “So, you ran away again and again in the past few days because you wanted to actively go to Luo City and cross over to become the Inner World Li Dongze?”

Outer World Li Dongze said: “Let's make a deal. You send me to Luo City. When I cross over to become Li Dongze, I can give you a high reward. If I'm still a master, I can also give you some protection.”

Qing Chen sighed. After being safe, this guy still couldn't escape the temptation of becoming a Time Traveler boss.

Before, he was forced to substitute Li Dongze, but now he actively wants to substitute Li Dongze.

But he could understand it because most people would be tempted by this kind of temptation. It's human nature.

If it were Qing Chen himself, could he guarantee not to be tempted?

Qing Chen said to Jiang Xue, who had followed him in: “Transfer him 100,000 as... compensation for future descendants.”

The so-called continuation of descendants was the medical expenses for freezing sperm.

Then Qing Chen said to Outer World Li Dongze: “Give you thirty minutes to solve it yourself. Consider it leaving yourself some hope.”

However, at this moment, Li Dongze ran to the window after hearing this, opened the window, and was about to jump.

“Forget it, I'm sorry,” Qing Chen sighed and pulled him back. He directly pressed Li Dongze onto the bed and injected the FDE-005 Serum Gene Medicine into his buttocks.

“Ow!” Outer World Li Dongze cried out.

Then began a long period of pain.

Qing Chen tied his hands and feet, stuffed a Towel into Outer World Li Dongze's mouth, and let him go through the long process of "digesting' the gene.

Actually, Qing Chen originally said that he wouldn't return to Luo City until dawn because he wanted to give Outer World Li Dongze a chance to freeze his sperm and then inject the Gene Medicine.

Then he would leave him some money.

But now he didn't think it was necessary. Since he couldn't be a good person, it didn't matter if he was a bad person.

Qing Chen looked at Nangeng Chen and said: “Let's go. Miancheng is only an hour's drive from Luo City. Let's go home tonight.”

“What about this person?” Nangeng Chen curiously asked.

“It's okay. I'll send a message to Kunlun and ask them to help deal with it. From where he came, he will return to where he came from,” Qing Chen said.

Nangeng Chen pouted: “Why be so nice to this kind of person? It's a waste of a Gene Medicine injection.”

Qing Chen glanced at Nangeng Chen: “We don't do this for him, but for our own Trial of Heart without guilt.”

Just like the reason he taught Li Ke, Knights never need to explain anything to outsiders. Giving money to beggars is only to make their hearts peaceful.

Don't always think about saving the world. When things happen, do what you feel is right in your heart, and there will be no mistakes.

Li Dongze on the bed watched Qing Chen and Nangeng Chen leave the room in despair.

On the highway, Nangeng Chen, who was sitting in the back seat and playing with his phone, suddenly said: “Brother Chen, look at what they're discussing about the Li Clan in the He Xiaoxiao group.”

Qing Chen opened his phone and saw Rebel King saying: “Big things are about to happen! Everyone, pay attention! The Li Clan suddenly transferred the direct descendants in the Federation's army from their positions. As far as I know, at least eight descendants have taken leave for family visits, and the army sent Airships to send them back to City 18.”

“What's going to happen?” Li Si curiously asked.

“Don't you guess?” Rebel King impatiently explained: “The Li Clan's Old Master's days are numbered. These grandsons must go back to mourn, attend the funeral, and fight for family power! Not only am I guessing this, many people say so! Moreover, the army controlled by Shendai and Koshima has already marched south, using exercises as an excuse to provoke and probe. The Federation civil war expansion pack is about to begin!”

Everyone in the group was shocked. Was the long-awaited big event finally coming?

The life and death of that old man affected too many people's nerves.

Many people knew that on the day of his death, the entire Federation would be in turmoil!

Qing Chen looked at the messages in the group and was speechless. Li Shu and these direct descendants were clearly coming back to become apprentices; it wasn't about mourning or seizing power...

He didn't expect that his act of taking on apprentices would cause such a big impact.

If the historical records later state that the cause of this civil war was that he took on apprentices, touched the sensitive nerves of Shendai and Koshima, and then led to the outbreak of a great war.

That would be funny...
