Qianye put away the velvet bag, he was not interested in the red crystal pendant, he was just a little surprised, and William's tone seemed to have no respect for the Eternal Night Council.
At this moment, Qianye hesitated whether to go with William or not.
In terms of geographical location, the Tulip Bazaar and Youcheng, where the recipient of the Yanxin Jade Book is located, are in the same direction, and the distance is not far away. And it would be safer for Qianye to get rid of Zalen's spoils in the gray city. But no matter how friendly William was, Qianye couldn't fully trust him.
William handed the red crystal pendant to the wolf girl, said a few words softly, and walked back to Qianye after the wolf girl left.
He didn't seem to see Qianye's hesitation at all, and smiled nonchalantly: "Let's go now, leave this ghost place as soon as possible. I don't want to meet those old guys from the Eternal Night Council, and you probably don't want to either!"
Qianye suddenly realized that William should always have doubts about his identity, and he suggested that he was not traveling on a whim, probably to prevent himself from revealing his whereabouts in this mountainous area.
So one person and one wolf, no matter what thoughts are turning in their hearts, they will still go together for the next two days.
Along the way, because William was by his side, Qianye only chose Bingjue during his practice. This is the first time he has run the Bingjue after absorbing the purple blood crystal and promoting the blood physique rune to a high level.
After thirty-eight rounds of the original force tide, Qianye began to feel the pressure, but obviously still had some strength left. Usually, after pushing forty rounds, he reached the limit, but this time he felt a slight movement in his heart, and began to organize the forty-first round!
The further you go to the back of the Bingjue, the shock force received by the body is almost doubled, and every extra round is difficult, so there are so few soldiers kings. However, behind the difficulties, there is another almost unparalleled achievement, that is, the improvement of the cultivation speed is infinite, even if it is only theoretically infinite, it is also infinite.
A small part of Zhang Boqian's illustrious reputation is based on the military tactics. Unprecedentedly, he pushed the Bingjue past fifty rounds when he was still a minor, and then ignited nine nodes at an astonishing speed, and finally broke through the bottleneck in only one night and was promoted to the general.
That year, Zhang Boqian was only fourteen years old.
After breaking through the general, Zhang Boqian changed his skills. So much so that when people bring up the past, they still like to guess how many rounds Zhang Shuai can push the Bingjue if he doesn't change his skills.
But now, Qianye was walking on the same road, and Zhang Boqian's back had faintly appeared in front of him.
There is a fundamental difference between the high-level blood physique and the intermediate level, and the growing dark gold blood energy is more tenacious in protecting the heart. Forty-one, forty-two rounds of tides rushed directly, and in a blink of an eye, it reached forty-three rounds.
At this time, the dawn tide was like a tsunami, and even the protection made of dark gold and blood energy instantly dimmed! So Qianye knew that the real limit had been reached.
The tide subsided slowly, and joy gradually surged in Qianye's heart.
As his blood energy continues to improve, his physique will continue to strengthen, and the tidal impact he can withstand will also increase. Maybe one day, he can also withstand fifty rounds of tides and really stand beside Zhang Boqian.
Looking at this era, it is also the peak that can only accommodate two people.
For the past two days, Qianye has been focused on attacking the Bingjue, most of which is the scarlet original force in his body, and there is also a small amount of the purified dawn original force. If you look inside, it's like a little bit of golden light floating up and down in the crimson mist, and occasionally a little bit of golden light bursts out, and the whole body will shine brightly.
Qianye suddenly realized that the so-called morning light, one of the top three original forces of dawn, may refer to the attribute closest to the side of dawn, that is to say, the pure and condensed original force of dawn.
Leaving the mountainous area, what appeared in front of Qianye was a wilderness. This place is different from Jihuoyuan, the style is much rougher, and the vitality is much more vigorous. In addition to the big trees with well-developed root systems that can draw water from deep underground rivers, vegetation that clings to the ground will still grow.
The ground is full of weathered stones, and at the end of the line of sight, there are more than a dozen tall stone pillars standing on the horizon, like ancient relics.
After half a day, a low building appeared in front of it. It was an oasis that was not marked on the official map of humans and the dark kingdom. There was a lush forest growing on it, fresh green and the surrounding wilderness with gray and brown as the main tone. In sharp contrast.
The gray city has no walls, and is full of low houses. The three-story building is the most magnificent building.
The wind and sand in the wilderness are strong, and when the wind blows at night, sometimes it is so big that it can blow a camel into the sky. The buildings built here must be extra strong, and not too high, otherwise it will be difficult to resist the might of nature.
In addition, the gray city is not fixed. Every few years, the Zhao faction will sweep the surrounding areas, and gray existences such as the tulip market will be re-established in different places accordingly. Moving back and forth like this, naturally there will not be any gorgeous buildings.
Just like a moro lily that blooms small yellow flowers in the wilderness, even if it is uprooted, it will still grow tenaciously from a certain gap after the wind and sand stop.
Seeing the gray city, Qianye's heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously touched the gun and knife at his waist. In this kind of place, there is no order or credibility at all, and people die inexplicably every day. Power is the only thing that can be relied upon, whether to protect a transaction or to protect oneself.
William next to him smiled, and said nonchalantly: "Don't be so nervous, this kind of place looks dirty and messy, there is no danger at all, you can walk sideways here!"
Qianye pulled the hood of the traveler's cloak, not wanting to talk to him at all.
These gray cities are equivalent to the territory of human beings. Generally, there will be one or two warriors sitting in the town to maintain the most basic order, and there will be at least two or three generals who have developed to the size of the tulip market in front of them. And with William's current rank of earl, he is a great nobleman who can be honored as Your Excellency. The Qin Empire has several counties of middle and low-rank patriarchs, and hereditary titles are only at this level.
When the two approached the gray city, Qianye saw scenes of werewolves chatting happily with blood races, humans and nerubians bargaining, and even a carriage pulled by a servant spider swaggered by, while the driver and the cart The people sitting on the top are all human races.
These scenes, if you don't see it with your own eyes, are simply unimaginable.
There are no walls or guards in the gray city, where you can come and go freely. After Qianye entered the city, he discovered why the dark race and the human race lived together so peacefully. The human beings walking here are all extremely ferocious, regardless of their murderous aura or power, they must overwhelm the dark race.
From time to time, passers-by glanced at Qianye and William, as if evaluating the fatness of the prey. This kind of gaze is not unfamiliar to Qianye, it is the same in any underground world or place of disorder, it is a measure of unfamiliar faces.
Both Qianye and William were wearing the most common traveler's cloak, and Qianye did not hide his level. Seventh level is not considered the strongest here, but it is not weak, and can avoid many unnecessary troubles. William didn't know what to think, he restrained all his breath, and even his race was not obvious.
There are hotels, casinos, bars, fighting arenas, and even a sizable auction house in the gray city. And here, after only walking a short side street, Qianye saw almost all the Yongye race, even the rarest demon descendants, and he was the owner of a grocery store.
When passing by a gun shop, Qianye stopped involuntarily, and looked at this completely unremarkable shop with some surprise. There are actually two fifth-level guns placed at the gate of this shop, one of which is an extremely rare blood sniper gun.
The fifth-level sniper rifles are very attractive to Qianye, especially the blood guns have always been famous for their accuracy and workmanship. The only thing that is uncertain is whether the array of "thumping fist" can be installed on this sniper rifle.
Qianye shifted his gaze to the price list on the side, but was surprised. The asking price of this fifth-level gun turned out to be a full eighty high-purity blood crystals.
This figure is almost double the normal price.
Qianye picked up the gun and took a closer look, but found traces of refurbishment in several places. The technique was quite clever, but it still couldn't escape the eyes of a veteran like Qianye. In other words, this is not a new gun, but second-hand goods. Counting depreciation, the asking price of this gun is at least three times more expensive.
Qianye shrugged, put down his gun and planned to leave.
After learning how to use Twin Flowers, he didn't really need an advanced sniper rifle. If he needs a long-range combat position on the battlefield in the future, the modified version of Eagle Strike with Heavy Strike is still the first choice. At least all aspects of functions can overwhelm this second-hand Tier 5 sniper rifle.
It's just that any small shop can display a level 5 gun to support the facade, which gave Qianye the most intuitive understanding of the tulip market.
Just as Qianye turned around, a fierce voice came from behind: "Stop!"
Qianye looked back, and saw that it was the owner of the small shop, a middle-aged man with scars all over his face. On the left and right of him stood a tall man, judging from their unrestrained aura, they should be werewolves, and they were all staring at Qianye unkindly at this moment.
The scene where a human race opens a shop and a werewolf is a guard is unbelievable in the empire or the dark frontier, but in a place like the gray city, everything is obviously possible.
Qianye didn't move at all, and said lightly: "What's the matter?"
The shopkeeper spat on the ground, stretched out his big hand, and said, "Eighty blood crystals! You have seen my gun and asked the price, so you must buy it!"
Qianye frowned. He knew that this kind of place was always full of all kinds of troubles, but he didn't expect the troubles to come so quickly and so directly.
There were already some people around, most of them stood casually and leisurely, and many of them showed the obvious expression of watching a show. But Qianye knew that once there were benefits and opportunities to take advantage of, it would definitely not prevent them from turning into hungry wolves and joining the ranks of food sharing.
Qianye glanced at the shopkeeper and his two guards. The guards are all level seven, and the owner himself is level six. In this gray city, the strength of this combination is already very strong, even in other places.
This is considered a temptation, and the temptation to outsiders is just the most serious kind.
Qianye glanced at William, the latter looked relaxed, his gray-blue eyes were full of smiles, and asked softly, "Do you need help?"
