The advancement speed of the pure dark force-fed blood energy has also increased accordingly. The ordinary blood energy in Qianye's body has already been promoted seven times, and the purple blood energy is also on the verge of being promoted to the third level. Since then, all the essence and blood he obtained from the iron rhinoceros have been refined and transformed.
The war on the ground is still going on, but since that earth-shattering war, there has never been a conflict of the same intensity. After fighting one after another for a while, it gradually fell silent.
Qianye was deep in the underground mountainside, he didn't know day or night, his cultivation had entered a critical juncture, and the seventh force node was lighting up. The effect of pure dawn force igniting nodes is also better than ordinary force.
At a certain moment, Qianye's whole body was shaken suddenly, his body radiated light, the barrier of the seventh origin force node was shattered, and the origin force came out from the node. The remaining six nodes are vibrating endlessly, as if corresponding to the newly born force nodes.
After the nodes were stabilized, Qianye controlled the tide of force in his body that had been surging for a long time to slowly fall back. He felt that his whole body was filled with strength, and he wanted to explode violently.
From this moment on, he officially entered the seventh level. According to the standards of the blood clan, he has already stepped into the door of the upper blood clan and can be knighted by a knight. In the human empire, the seventh level is also the entry threshold for new nobles, who can be promoted to lieutenant colonel in the army, and are also eligible to be the commander of a regiment.
The surroundings have been silent for a long time, and it seems that the battle on the ground has come to an end. Qianye walked along the winding corridor to the entrance of the cave, listened for a while, and broke through the mud and rocks that sealed the door.
It was daytime outside, and as the light season got closer, the sun seemed to be brighter, and the wind in the mountain area also had a fiery breath, but at this time there was still a very strong smell of gunpowder smoke and blood.
Qianye climbed to the top of the peak, looking as far as the eye could see, the remnants of a tragic battle appeared before his eyes.
The plain had long been scorched by the fire, and the few lone peaks on the edge were actually cut off in the middle. The big river has stopped flowing, and the forests have become scorched earth. The hill-like war behemoth was infinitely powerful during its lifetime, but now only a pair of huge skeletons remain.
The battlefield has obviously been cleaned, and the remains of fighters from both sides have been taken away. But no one cares about the giant war beasts on the side of the dark race, and the cannon fodder like the servant spider. On the battlefield at this moment, there are countless crows and vultures gathered. Under their sharp beaks, the corpse will soon turn into a skeleton.
Qianye didn't know whether the empire won or lost this battle, and it was difficult to judge the outcome from the remains of the battlefield, but judging from the aftermath, it seemed that the two sides had a tie and then each cleaned up the mess.
At this moment, within Qianye's field of vision, there is no longer a dark race, and no human beings appear. In a battlefield like this after a great war, because the dark race side often discards a large amount of cannon fodder and the corpses of war behemoths, the plague will run rampant in a short period of time. For humans with insufficient strength, this is a restricted area of life. Although Qianye is not afraid, it is uncomfortable to stay for a long time.
He identified the direction and headed towards Weiyang City.
After the war, the vast area was almost a vacuum, and Qianye didn't meet any high-level fighters, not even wild beasts.
However, a large number of scavengers and vagrants flocked into this area. For them, the battlefield of the just-concluded war was an undiscovered gold mine with unlimited opportunities. When cleaning the battlefield, some small gadgets that are missed at random may make these scavengers live a paradise-like life.
Qianye arrived in Weiyang City smoothly. The war didn't seem to have any impact on the largest city in the Eternal Night Continent.
In the night sky, you can see dots of lights of various colors, just like dazzling stars. Those are airships that have come across the distant airspace, taking off and landing continuously.
As one of the two hubs connecting the Eternal Night Continent and the mainland of the empire, the airship base in Weiyang City is almost a small city, with hundreds of ships taking off and landing here every day. During the war, this number can be multiplied several times in order to transport troops, and most of the main armies that came to participate in the war from the mainland of the empire this time also passed through this center.
Qianye didn't have much interest in admiring the prosperity of the city. Because of the battle, he stayed in the bottom of the mountain for more than ten days, and he didn't know what was going on with Song Zining.
After he entered the city, he found a small hotel, then went to the Imperial Trading Company and other places, and sold most of the scales of the crystal python scatteredly, and got a few hundred gold coins. Finally, he went to a raw material trading company opened by Ningyuan Group in the city.
Qianye sold the remaining crystal scales and other materials there, and after showing the token, he got a package left by Song Zining, but he didn't get any more news.
It is said that none of the local senior managers of Ningyuan Group are in the city, and the shopkeeper only delivered the parcels based on tokens. After chatting with him for a few words, Qianye realized that the shopkeeper might just be a peripheral employee, and he thought Qianye was a customer who ordered special equipment.
After Qianye returned to his residence, he opened the package, and inside was a jade tablet the size of half a palm. It was a jade book with a rock core. The jade surface was smooth and looked empty. In fact, the message had been engraved with the force, but only when the recipient input the force in the agreed method, could the handwriting emerge. You can't get the content even if you drop the jade token.
There was also a letter in the package, with only a few words, Song Zining asked Qianye to send this Yanxin jade book to the West Continent, and the recipient was a general of the Zhao Clan.
This calm and tense atmosphere on the outside made Qianye very worried, but there was not much to do. He himself was in a lot of trouble, and he couldn't rush to inquire about the Song Clan in this strange city.
However, the destination surprised him. It was the Zhao Clan in the west, and the Forgotten Mountains mentioned in Darul's diary were also in that area. It belonged to the Nianqing Mountains as the Yanyun Pass guarded by the Zhao Clan's family.
In the next two days, Qianye packed his luggage, disassembled the eye-catching Eagle Strike into parts, and put them into the backpack one by one. Twin Flowers and Shining Light Fang were also put into the upper body of the tactical jacket. He slung around his belt with some modest equipment from a weapons store, including a second-hand butcher and two military tactical knives.
This outfit made Qianye look like an ordinary solo hunter. The short knife and the butcher sent a clear signal that this is a lunatic who likes to fight in close quarters. Generally, sensible people are unwilling to provoke guys who like melee combat. Such people tend to die quickly, but on the other hand, it also means that they are more adventurous and willing to work hard.
Qianye paid five gold coins and boarded the public airship to the mainland of the empire. He will transfer from Qin Lu to Xi Lu.
The cost of five gold coins is quite high, so most of the civilians in the Eternal Night Continent, including the soldiers of the Expeditionary Army, would not be able to visit the mainland of the Empire in their entire lives.
This is an old airship, Qianye and hundreds of people are crowded in the bottom deck. They will all be here during the two long days of the flight. There are no toilets and no restaurant. The smell in the cabin is naturally not much better.
But these are not difficult for Qianye. At least there is a seat in the bottom deck. When he first came to the Eternal Night Continent, he sat in the cargo hold of a stowaway ship, lying on the ore all the way. During several violent bumps, he was almost buried alive in the collapsed ore pile.
Qianye didn't want to attract attention, so even though there were good cabins on the upper floor, he still chose to squeeze together with hunters and mercenaries of the same status.
Not long after boarding the ship, the airship slowly lifted into the air with roaring and violent trembling, and flew towards the edge of the continent.
The journey will take a long time, Qianye leaned against the bulkhead, closed his eyes and rested his mind. At this moment, he was suddenly kicked hard on the leg.
Qianye opened his eyes and saw a big man who was as thick as a bear staring at him viciously, and said with a sneer, "Let's go, the master wants this place!"
Seeing Qianye looking over, the strong man showed his tattooed arm, and pulled out half of the short knife from his waist. Behind this strong man, there are several companions. At this moment, they all looked at Qianye with the same bloodthirsty eyes. Obviously, as long as a word disagrees, these people will immediately turn into wolves.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, but Qianye really did not expect it to happen to him, and there are almost no fighters above the third level who will come here to squeeze the bilge. This is the case with the few people in front of them. During the demonstration, they rely on their body shape and muscles instead of releasing the breath of the original force. The strength can be imagined.
Qianye stood up, smiled at the strong man, and said, "You kicked me."
"So what? I still want to kick a few more times!" The big man said, and sure enough, he kicked Qianye's knee hard again.
Qianye smiled again, his body remained motionless, he just raised his leg and kicked to block it.
There was a muffled bang, and the two legs collided head-on, followed by the crisp and continuous sound of bone cracking! The big man suddenly let out a miserable howl, bent down and hugged the completely deformed calf, screaming earth-shatteringly.
Qianye felt much more relaxed when he turned his lower ankle. He had just been promoted to the seventh level, and his body, especially his legs, had started a new round of growth and strengthening. This process was long and painful. The soreness in his bones sometimes gave him the urge to kick the wall.
The big man's screams continued, Qianye shrugged and said, "It's too noisy." Then he kicked the big man on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.
The faces of the big man's companions changed drastically, and two fierce but not very smart guys drew their guns and aimed at Qianye.
Qianye said lightly: "I'm in a bad mood, you guys are really courting death."
Everyone's eyes froze, followed by two deafening roars. In such a narrow and crowded space, the butcher's voice was enough to deafen people's ears.
The light of the original force exploded on the two of them, and the whole body was blown upside down, and countless bones in their bodies were shattered.
The bottom deck was very crowded, and there were several unrelated passengers standing beside those two unlucky guys. At this moment, their faces were pale with fright, and they frantically touched their bodies with their hands, trying to find out where they were injured, but they searched and searched, and unexpectedly, they were completely intact.
Qianye used the powerful butcher, and blasted out the explosive bombs. They were almost standing next to those two unlucky guys. How could they not be injured
There was a sudden chaos in the bilge, and people pushed to the sides, leaving a large space in the middle. There should have been seven people facing Qianye, but now three of them are already lying on the floor.
The bilge hatch was suddenly slammed open, and several menacing crew members rushed in, as well as a bearded captain.
"Don't you know you can't use the force gun on the airship?" The bearded captain's voice was murderous.
