The night in the mountainous area is more lively than the daytime, the stars are extraordinarily bright, the mountains are more majestic in the night, and the neighing of small animals in the wind is almost invisible.
The meandering river under the moonlight is like a silver belt, and the shimmering light seems to be wide and relaxed, as if the earth has lost the majesty and majesty of the day and is dancing among the clouds and sky.
At this time, Qianye was in the mood to see the scenery of this mountain area other than the terrain. He ran at high speed in the wind until the sky began to turn white.
In the early morning, the Taihang Mountains are shrouded in a thin layer of mist. This place has been separated from the plateau, and the dominant tree species is no longer a sparse forest composed of twisted and knotty shrubs and coniferous trees. The foot of the mountain is covered with dense grassland.
When Qianye turned his head, he could still vaguely see the whole picture of Jihuoyuan. It was a huge crimson land that bulged toward the sky, and then slanted down violently, like the head of a death scythe that had harvested countless lives.
For the next two days, Qianye walked around day and night. He didn't directly enter Zhao Clan's territory, but walked along the border mountain, preparing to enter at the place closest to Yingzhou City, so as to avoid checkpoints as much as possible.
At first everything was fine, but as the destination got closer, Qianye always felt something was wrong, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him secretly.
He can be sure that this feeling of being watched has only recently appeared, and he never had it in the mountains. Especially after crossing the Shuoyang Highway, the feeling became more and more obvious. The Shuoyang Highway is the human race's transportation artery in the northwest, and it is also the largest and longest highway in the entire Western Continent, almost running through most of the cities in the Zhao Clan's territory.
Fields and mountains have always been Qianye's home field. After he noticed the abnormality, he continued to advance at a normal speed without making a fuss, but added changes to the route, turning around in the rolling mountains.
After a day like this, the vague feeling of surveillance has never been broken. At this point, Qianye was almost certain that the other party was coming for him. If it was just a random fellow traveler, it would be impossible to run with him into those strange terrains.
However, although Qianye changed several methods, he still failed to find the tracker's whereabouts, so he couldn't help being a little interested, "It seems that he is a good player, which is interesting."
At dusk, Qianye stopped in front of a clear stream. After washing his face, he slowly started fishing and grilling fish. He seemed to be taking a leisurely nap, thinking about the identity of the other party in his heart.
Qianye is also the strength of Huang Quan and Red Scorpion. In the mountains and wild terrain, he has rarely encountered opponents stronger than him. This time, under the circumstances of Qianye's deliberate actions, the opponent can still not show his whereabouts at all. This strength is already above him. Not only must the tracker be an expert, but there is a high possibility that even the talent is hidden in the tracking aspect.
Who is the opponent? Why are you here
Qianye thought for a while, and felt that there were many clues, but it was not easy to determine the answer. He is not afraid of trouble, but he also hopes to solve this trouble before entering the territory of the Zhao Clan.
Qianye was actually looking forward to his opponent's appearance. He was confident that as long as he escaped the first wave of surprise attacks, he would be able to control the outcome of the battle. During his journey during the day, he had released several opportunities, but he did not wait for the expected attack. It seems that the other party's behavior style is extremely cautious, even though Qianye is not in good condition and his injuries have not recovered, he still does not show up.
So is the other party waiting for a surefire opportunity, or does he have another companion
If it is the former, it is also reasonable, most people who are good at ambushes have excellent patience. Even Qianye himself, when the Red Scorpion was on a mission, sometimes hid in one place for several days, just for the final shot.
If it's the latter, it's not good news.
After resting and having a good meal, Qianye turned to the mountains, and he chose to camp for tonight on the halfway up a lone peak. Although a small space like a cave is easy to defend and difficult to attack, for veteran assassins, there are more resources to use. If you have special weapons, the chance of a successful sneak attack is not low.
Qianye gave the follower a multiple-choice question.
After he set up warnings and traps, he began to practice and digest the blood essence obtained from Zalen. In the escape a few days ago, although Qianye didn't fight Zalun head-on, his original force and blood energy were exhausted several times, and the long time of running at extreme speed left him with hidden wounds. Now that the enemy is approaching, he must seize the time to recover as soon as possible.
The Xuanpian began to operate, and the huge blood essence turned into a vortex, like a millstone, stripping away the impurities in the blood essence and blood little by little, leaving only the pure dark force. And the blood in Qianye's body began to devour the dark force and grow continuously.
When the cycle is completed, the ordinary blood energy is promoted to the second level first, the dark gold blood energy is slightly stronger, and the purple blood energy that has been nourished for many days has reached the critical point of being promoted to the third level.
At this time, the dark force in Qianye's body had been divided up, and the purple blood energy was still swaying unsatisfactorily.
Qianye hesitated for a moment, then found the blood crystal containing purple blood energy, and held it in his hand. However, as soon as he started to absorb it, the blood crystals exploded, and huge blood essence rushed into his body, including wisps of purple blood energy. The total amount of blood essence is almost equivalent to one-third of the blood essence in the blood viscount's whole body.
Qianye was surprised that such a small amount of blood energy could be contained in a small blood crystal, and he was shocked the next moment!
After the wisps of purple blood energy entered Qianye's body, instead of being pulled in by the dark force vortex formed by Xuanpian, they actually swam on their own, traveling up the blood vessels to the vicinity of the heart, and preyed on an ordinary man who hadn't advanced yet. blood.
These purple blood energy are actually alive? !
Qianye's shock was no small matter. Fortunately, at this moment, his own purple blood shot towards him, immediately entangled a purple blood from outside, and started a tumultuous fight. The dark golden blood energy was even more vicious, blocking three streaks of purple blood from outside alone, while the rest of the second-order ordinary blood energy joined together to fight the last purple blood.
In the blink of an eye, Qianye's body turned into a battlefield, and more than ten different blood energies were fighting to the death.
After all, Qianye's own purple blood energy was already at the second level, and the outsiders who fought alone at the first level quickly gained the absolute upper hand. It didn't take long for the battle to be stalemate, and it had already torn off the opponent piece by piece, and began to devour it.
With one against three, the dark gold blood energy actually suppressed the scene, and even began to attack one of them, tearing off one piece from time to time. It won't be long before this foreign purple blood will completely become its food.
Even though the ordinary blood energy is seven to one, and all of them are at the second level, they only have the upper hand. Their attacks do little damage to Purple Blood, while Purple Blood deals significant damage to them every time he attacks.
This battle of blood and energy made Qianye understand the true principles of blood poisoning, bloodline suppression, and first embrace of descendants, which were previously vague concepts, and also understood why bloodlines value talent and bloodline so much.
Blood energy is the source of dark power of the blood race, and the power gap between different ranks is so large that it is difficult to make up for it with numbers. The other ethnic groups of the dark race, although their powers are manifested in different forms, the situation should be similar.
From this point of view, the human race is relatively more balanced. Even if they are talented, without a large supply of resources and diligence far beyond ordinary people, it is difficult to fully utilize their talents.
This difference actually gives more people room to grow, allowing people with relatively average talents, but exceptionally hardworking and strong luck to grow up, and eventually surpass those so-called descendants of famous families and gifted wizards.
This may be the difference between the human race and the dark race, and also the difference between the two camps of Dawn and Eternal Night.
After figuring this out, Qianye did not just sit back and watch the battle of blood energy in his body decide the winner. The essence of the alien purple blood is also the dark force. He began to choose a force node far away from the battlefield, run the Song's ancient scroll, condensed a drop of pure dawn force, and then ruthlessly bombarded a purple blood from outside. superior.
The Zixue, who was fighting with the Dark Gold's blood energy, was severely injured and was almost split in two. The wings of dark gold blood energy vibrated, and instantly pounced on it, completely tearing it in two.
Qianye did the same thing again, hitting another streak of purple blood.
Two streaks of purple blood from outside were severely wounded, and the situation of the battle changed rapidly, and the entire army was wiped out in a blink of an eye.
The dark gold blood energy devoured the two streaks of purple blood from outside, and seemed to lose interest, and lazily went back to dormant to rest. And the purple blood energy on the critical line of advancement has been very hungry, and after devouring the remaining three lines of purple blood, it retracted the rune and calmed down.
To Qianye's surprise, the large number of ordinary blood energy did not get anything. Even the alien purple blood that they had painstakingly injured finally entered the stomach of the purple blood. They just ate a little bit of the torn pieces.
This is the law of the Eternal Night faction, the strong always come first, even at this microscopic level. After the dark gold and purple blood energy are full, it is the turn of the normal blood energy. If there is no suitable food, then ordinary blood energy will also be swallowed up.
The world in Qianye's body slowly returned to calm, and the dawn outside the cave revealed a new day.
He finally understood why Zaron didn't use this special blood crystal with him. The Viscount of the Blood Race obviously understood its characteristics. Without the source of blood or a higher elder by his side, once he couldn't suppress it, he might be killed immediately. kill.
From this point of view, the purple blood means far surpassing the blood power of the Viscount of the Byrne clan.
Not long after Qianye walked out of the cave, he felt the feeling of being watched vaguely again. He just smiled coldly and continued on his way.
At this moment, Qianye's movements seemed a little jerky and stiff, which was the result of the evolution of the ability runes of the blood physique after Zixue's promotion. In places invisible to the naked eye inside his body, countless tissues died one after another, and at the same time, more new tissues grew rapidly.
Just like every body transformation, it takes some time for coordination to rebuild, and if Qianye fights with someone at this time, his combat power will undoubtedly be affected.
It's also an opportunity thrown to the shadowy prying eyes.
In the wilderness far away, on the dense canopy of a tree, a shadow floats vaguely among the branches and leaves.
Looking at Qianye who was running down the rolling hills, he sneered, "How could it hurt so much after one night's practice? You're lying to ghosts! With just this little acting skill, it's too young to let me be fooled! "
