Chapter 63: Muliang City

The city of water and the mountains on the southern border

In the night, Seven Nights was like a ghost of death, and in just a few breaths, a few faint flashes killed more than 20 soldiers neatly.

"Say, what are you doing with so many people?" Nanaya asked coldly, holding the knife on the shoulder of the last soldier, his eyes as cold as thorns.

"Dig, dig, mine," said the soldier who was on his knees with a knife holder, his face full ......of fear and his voice trembling.

In the eyes of the soldiers, this young man was simply a demon, and in just a few blinks, he killed more than twenty soldiers in the camp. He has been in the army for several years and is used to seeing killings, and he shuddered when he looked at the young but murderous and indifferent Qiye.

"What mine?" Nanaya seemed interested.

"Spirit, mine...", the soldier choked up again, and answered truthfully.

"Where?" Hearing the spirit mine, Qiye's eyes flickered imperceptibly, as if he was thinking about something.

"In the mountains ahead, along this road, the dawn will come. The soldier raised his hand and pointed to the distance in the darkness, as if to prove his words.

"How many soldiers are guarding the mine camp?" Nanaya confirmed more carefully.

After all, in general, strategic places such as spirit mines are guarded by strong people, and if the other party's strength is too strong, it seems that there is no play.

"There is no one, this spirit mine has only just been detected and has not yet been developed, we are the earliest vanguard......" The soldier looked at Qiye's cold eyes and whispered slightly.

"I see, thank you..."Hearing the news, Qiye was overjoyed, and then quickly regained his calm. Now that he had asked what he wanted to know, he reaped his last life without mercy.

Even though the soldier had already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, Qiye did not intend to let him go. After so many years of stumbling and crawling in the slave camp, Seven Nights believes:

There is not a soldier whose hands have not been stained with innocent blood!

Therefore, there is no need for sympathy for these soldiers who have disregarded human lives and committed heinous crimes.

After cleaning it all up, Nanaya picked up a few sabers and flew out, cutting the reins that bound the civilians in the forest. The crowd, unfettered, hugged each other and cried with excitement. There are those who look in the dark for the benefactor who has just helped them, but they cannot find them.

"I don't know which hero came to the rescue, I hope the hero will show up, let me wait for the good student to thank me in person!" said an elderly man in the crowd who took a step forward and bowed his hand to the dark woods.

"It's just a gesture, not enough to worry about. Get out of here and run for your life, and in the future, you can do what you want......"

With that, Seven Nights jumped from the canopy of a tree and landed steadily on the back of a horse in the forest.

Neigh~~ In the forest, a piercing and long horse roar, seven nights have been riding horses and whips, the wind has gone, and disappeared into the night.

"Well, strange, why is it a teenager's voice? Could he be the hero?"

In the dark forest, the old man stood still, quite puzzled. Although he did not see the hero he wanted to see with his own eyes because of the darkness of the night, with decades of experience in hearing and knowing people, the old man could clearly judge that the voice came from a young man.

。。。

After a night of non-stop travel, Qiye finally entered the deep mountain hinterland at dawn. There was no clear mountain road ahead, and in the col not far away, a natural arched cave more than ten meters high appeared. The cool mountain breeze blows out from the valley, passing by, and Qiye perceives a faint and faint aura, which is extremely thin and mellow, just like the elegant fragrance of the mountain flowers ten miles away, and it is intoxicating.

Confirm the location, dismount and hike into the cave after seven nights, and the night pupils are slightly opened. A cautious look at the inside of the cave was observed: the walls were covered with moist moss, the air was moist and fresh, and the ground was littered with numerous angular rocks.

As we walked, the cave was divided into a different scene: countless stalactites of all sizes hung densely above our heads. The ground was also smooth, and there were no more rocks. At the corner of the edge of the cave, an underground river the size of a stream flows down the pouring surface.

After walking along the dark river for a quarter of an hour, Qiye vaguely saw a glittering crystal light on the smooth cave wall in the dark: it was a spiritual ore crystal!

Qiye secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seems that the soldier really did not deceive himself, there is really a spiritual mine here. With the spirit ore, he can urge the chaotic heavenly wheel to extract all the spiritual energy in it, and the depleted 30,000 spirit stars in his body are expected to be restored. If you rely on spirit stones to make up for it, it's too distressing. It can directly absorb the spirit ore, which is naturally the best.

Thinking of this, Qiye happily walked to the cave wall in three or two steps, sat cross-legged, and put his hands on the wet cave wall. Closing his eyes and concentrating, a bolt of telekinesis shot into the Celestial Wheel.

The long-silent Chaos Wheel was like a rain after a long drought, and the two wheels rolled happily, and a suction force that was stronger than ever before erupted and swept through the entire cave in an instant. The entire mountain also trembled slightly at this moment, and after a short shake, the aura in the mountain's body was continuously extracted by this powerful suction, like a river entering the sea and injected into the body of Qiye.

"Haha, ah......" With this barbaric arrogance devouring, Qiye felt the pleasure of the continuous and rapid nourishment of spiritual power, and at the same time endured the tearing pain caused by this savage devouring. At the eye of the whirlpool of the chaotic wheel, the black demon flame that is completely integrated with the inner wheel. At this moment, the black flame of passion danced, and it seemed that it was also rejoicing in the great benefit of this devouring.

Now, the Black Demon Flame has completely turned into a part of the Seven Nights Spirit Realm, and the Seven Nights no longer have the previous hostility towards the Black Demon Flame. Therefore, for the practice of taking a piece of the Black Demon Flame, Qiye also turned a blind eye. Because, there is no way to stop it, the Black Demon Flame and the Chaotian Wheel are integrated, entrenched in the eye of the whirlpool, like a mountain king, leaving traces by the wind and plucking the feathers of geese.

Black Demon Yan is such a bandit, and Qiye is really helpless. Fortunately, the spiritual energy of the entire spirit mine is extremely abundant and has a large reserve, and the Black Demon Flame has only absorbed a small part of it, which does not have much impact compared to the vast majority of what it has absorbed.

On the other hand, because the spirit has been in a coma in the spirit world, the speed of spiritual energy absorption has decreased.

The huge aura was crushed and condensed into the spiritual liquid by the chaotic heavenly wheel, and the spiritual liquid continued to rise, lighting up the dim spiritual stars. And with the recovery of the spiritual power of countless spirit stars, the spirit that had been exhausted of spiritual power was also constantly being nourished, and the originally vaguely transparent body began to slowly solidify. Like dead wood in spring, the spirit is constantly becoming rich and full.

After three days and three nights of all-out efforts and full firepower, the spiritual energy in the entire spiritual mine was absorbed like a wind and clouds, and there was basically not much left. As the last drop of spiritual fluid flowed through the soul cheeks, the spirit that had been sleeping for a long time finally slowly opened its eyes at this moment, and in the pupils full of bright stars, it was like a meteor crossing the night sky, flashing a few golden lights.

"Whew...... Finally woke up. Qiye breathed a long sigh of relief, slowly stood up, patted the soil on his body, and a big stone in his heart finally landed. This period of time made him deeply aware of the importance of his own strong strength, not only to be able to save others, but more importantly, to allow himself to survive with dignity.

"It's time to leave, I'm afraid someone will come soon. After devouring a spirit mine, it was only possible to recover 20,000 spirit stars, which is still not enough!" Qiye sighed with some discontentment, if someone heard this at this time, I am afraid that they would be angry to death.

Because, what Seven Nights devoured was a small low-grade spirit mine, and if all of them were mined, it would be enough to be a million, and it would also be a lot of resources for a fifth-class city.

Without any extra lingering, Seven Nights urged the shadow steps to float a few floating steps out of the cave. Turned over the horse, struck the dust, and disappeared into the deep mountain woods in another way.

Three days later......

Seven Nights has crossed the border of the Water Ghost City and entered the third city territory: Muliang City!

At this time, on horseback, he had changed into a clean cloth coat, his face was neat, and his whole mental outlook was refreshed. Sitting on his back, he walked along the main road into the city without hurry, and entered the boundary of Muliang City, where there were few people fleeing on the road, replaced by a busy stream of traffic, endless streams of vendors, and travelers from various places.

At noon, I walked to a roadside wine shop. Although it is a roadside wine shop, it is also a three-storey small building with exquisite atmosphere, with antique carved pillars, flag winds, and fragrant wine and meat, attracting countless passers-by to rest here.

"Come on, come on...... Guest officer, please go upstairs to the private room!" the second child of the wine shop greeted him warmly at the door, with a professional smile on his face as always.

In the wine shop, there is a scene of conversation and laughter everywhere, and the diners either gather to drink or chat in pairs, so lively and extraordinary, and there is no way to see the people's livelihood and suffering caused by the war.

"I didn't expect that Muliang City is so lively, and even the roadside wine shops are so beautiful. After walking for so long, why don't you go in and have a look?" Qiye on horseback glanced at the wine shop, a little hesitant.

He always habitually brings in his former self: he couldn't have imagined walking into such a beautiful store before, but now everything has changed, and he is now a rich man. After thinking about it, Qiye happily dismounted and walked into the store.

"This boy, are you drinking or...?" Seeing an eight or nine-year-old boy, the shopkeeper walked leisurely into the store, and after a short stunned moment, he quickly stepped forward to entertain him.

"What else do you have to eat besides wine?" asked Nanaya casually while curiously looking at the environment in the restaurant.

"That's a lot, I just don't know you, Childe, this ......" The shopkeeper was quite embarrassed to speak, and then symbolically pinched his hand in front of Qiye and said.

"Oh, yes, yes...... Well, here you go. Qiye took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper, although he was only eight or nine years old, but the hints of these old rivers and lakes were clear in his heart. And the silver coins on his body naturally came from harvesting those soldiers' exploitation, and compared to the gold coins on his body, the use of silver coins is not easy to make people suspicious.

"Okay, Childe, please go upstairs to the private room!" the shopkeeper was overjoyed to accept the silver coin, his face was full of smiles, and his voice was exceptionally clear and invited to the second floor.

Qiye followed the shopkeeper to a spacious window room on the second floor, ordered a few dishes, and sat quietly. Take a cup of green tea to the entrance, the fragrance is light and elegant, the taste is astringent and sweet, and then sip it carefully, leaving a fragrance on the teeth and cheeks. Seven nights unconsciously drank a few more glasses, during this time, I was tired, all day long tasteless, drink tasteless. Now that there is this good tea, it is inevitable to drink a few more cups.

Just as the seven nights were enjoying the tea room, a team of cars and horses came slowly not far away. Pedestrians along the road gave way one after another, shouting noisily.

Qiye curiously put down the teacup and leaned against the window: there were a total of five carriages in this team of carriages and horses pulling several huge sealed wooden boxes, and around the carriage more than a dozen black-faced men carried swords and swords, and followed on horseback, and at the forefront of the team were a man and a woman riding two giant wolves the size of horses.

"This is a team of dart masters!" Qiye suddenly understood, and the memories of the three people devoured all had memories of the dart masters.

In many cities, there are such dart boards to escort valuable goods. It's just that the Cold Spirit City, where Qiye is located, belongs to the remote 'Fifth Rank Shu City', and there is almost no important trading with the other surrounding cities, so there is no dart game. In many low-level cities like this, the escorts are usually sent by the city lord, so there is no dart game.

Muliang City is a 'fourth-class county town' belonging to this area, with a population of more than 500,000 people, and frequent trade with the surrounding cities, so it is not surprising that there is a dart game.
