Night Without End-Chapter 27 - 18 Visitors from Chixia City_2

She explained that these special nodes might exist for several years, and they would search for and map them out one by one, leaving behind a topographical map for the locals, to prevent anyone from mistakenly entering these dangerous zones.

Cao Long spoke up: "If anyone finds a place shrouded in white fog and illuminated by Five Colored Smoke and Mist, they must not approach it. Such areas are even more perilous. Anyone who can provide such clues will be generously rewarded with a volume of Advanced Will Power."

Many people's breathing became heavy upon hearing this. For them, the secret books of such caliber seemed too far-fetched and elusive—who wouldn't desire them?

Some people realized that the nobles from Chixia City honing themselves was just a facade; they definitely had other important purposes. The unusual phenomena in the mountains involved secrets unknown to the locals.

However, the Newcomers from the various villages had a more tranquil mindset. Even if they understood that there were hidden matters, what of it? Those dangerous territories were not places they could set foot in.

Moreover, no matter the purpose of the nobles from Chixia City, they would ultimately help them sweep the mountains, fending off the threat of Alien Species there. That was enough for them.

Cao Long informed everyone that the high-level entities from Chixia City and the mythical creatures deep in the mountains had one final negotiation to undertake, which would take place outside the mountains, with results expected soon.

The Newcomers from the villages whispered and discussed among themselves. Although living in this region, they had only heard scant tales of a handful of high-level beings. Their deepest impressions of the depths of the mountains were of mystery, the unknown, and fear, a place filled with awe-inspiring mists.

"Can we see this negotiation that's outside the mountains?"

The speaker was a young man from one of the three teams, his face still showing traces of youth. Naive and unafraid, he was curious to see what these top-level Alien Species deep in the mountains looked like.

The three teams were originally quiet, but now there was a stir. They were all young with a very strong curiosity and a desire to explore.

Cao Long, who towered over other people, had an imposing figure that sent out waves of pressure. He merely glanced over lightly, and all those people quickly fell silent.

He didn't rebuke but nodded in response: "Perhaps there is a chance."

Immediately, the area erupted into a heated discussion.

Qin Ming was also unsettled. Apart from accidentally catching sight of the Moon Worm, he was completely in the dark about other top-level Alien Species and also wanted to take this opportunity to see their true forms.

Wei Zhi Rou, with her tall stature, stood on a bluestone. Her pure white fox fur coat fluttered in the wind, giving her an ethereal and refined appearance. She conveyed another piece of news.

"The current situation is rather delicate. You might not know, but the turmoil in the mountains is not only due to magnetic field disturbances. It's also because another group of high-level beings has migrated from afar, bringing their families with the intention of occupying some of the mountain's resources."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

Wei Zhi Rou continued: "Now, with an additional group of high-level beings, oppressed by their presence, many dangerous species have no choice but to expand out of the mountains, squeezing into the living space of people on the periphery."

Xu Yueping asked, "Does this mean that the outer parts of the mountain forests, which had just calmed down briefly, will become extremely dangerous in the future?"

"It's not a big deal. Who allowed them to expand? Drive them back, and that's it. Our mountain-sweeping is precisely to resolve this issue." Mu Qing spoke in a gender-neutral voice, though the speech itself was quite domineering.

The Newcomers from all the villages let out a sigh of relief internally; that figure cloaked in a black cape boosted their confidence.

Mu Qing raised her voice: "They have barged into an area they should not have trodden upon, forgetting the pain of the past. We shall forcefully awaken them, making them understand that the dominion of two-legged beasts in this region has never waned..."

Initially, people were emotionally stirred and their morale soared. Even though the term "two-legged beasts" felt a bit odd, it was merely a slight discomfort in their hearts. However, when they saw Mu Qing continue to speak passionately, and a bushy golden tail peek out from behind the black cape, many people suddenly lost their composure.

What species is this?!

"Mu Qing." Cao Long reminded her.

Wei Zhi Rou said, "Mu Qing is human."

The three teams behind them were quite calm, as if they had already known what state Mu Qing was in.

Qin Ming was lost in thought, staring ahead, looking over and over again.

Old Man Liu murmured, "Perhaps he has chosen a divine and unusual path; whether he is still human, what state he is in now, it's somewhat incomprehensible."

This was another different choice that Qin Ming saw following the path of The Immortal of Colossal Spirit represented by Cao Long.

Cao Long said, "Now we need to select suitable companions for the expedition; they will act with us in sweeping the mountain, guiding us through it. But rest assured, safety is guaranteed."

He emphasized that it was not compulsory; anyone unwilling could leave right then.

At the same time, Cao Long, Wei Zhi Rou, and Mu Qing reiterated that the rewards during the mountain sweeping included Spiritual Material and Advanced Will Power, among other generous offerings; they were certainly not stingy.

None of the Newcomers at the scene stayed back in the village; they had already made their choice, so nobody left.

Qin Ming naturally went along with the majority and did not stand out.

Wei Zhi Rou smiled at Cao Long and Mu Qing. Her smile, seen by everyone, shone brilliantly, carrying an otherworldly sweetness. She waved the name list in her hand, wanting to make the first selection.

"Let's select one person at a time; you go first," Cao Long spoke, allowing her to choose first, and Mu Qing had no objections.

Wei Zhi Rou smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I won't be polite. Our Wei Family is very eager to recruit youths with the Golden Foundation."

"Which family isn't!" Mu Qing said, before whispering with Cao Long, discussing who should choose first.

Wei Zhi Rou looked at the name list, her delicate brows slightly furrowed; making a decision seemed difficult. Eventually, she called out two names, "Who is Zhou Wubing, and who is Qin Ming?"

"You can only pick one person at a time," Mu Qing reminded her.

Wei Zhi Rou smiled: "I know, just want to take a look, that's all."

Zhou Wubing stepped forward, a half-head taller than the average person, with a sturdy and powerful body.

Originally, he wasn't named thus; as a youth, he was frail and frequently ill, so his parents renamed him Zhou Wubing. It was only after distant relatives returned and treated him that he experienced rebirth in his golden years.

Qin Ming was surprised; the sick boy's temperament had undergone a great transformation. Previously, his face was sallow and his body gaunt, his light yellow hair akin to autumn's wild grass; now, his hair was dark and thick, and his spirit and vitality were exceptionally vibrant.

Qin Ming stepped forward, standing calmly, a bit taller than the sick boy.

"Both have the Golden Foundation; I'd like to invite them both," Wei Zhi Rou said with a smile looking at them.

The sick boy, changed from before, although dazzled for a moment by the lucent smile of the ethereal noble lady, soon regained his composure.

At that moment, a young man walked out of the woods, coming to Wei Zhi Rou's side to whisper to her.

Only then did people realize that there were more than just the three youthful teams representing the three families—there were other people as well.

"Zhou Wubing was frail and sickly in the past, and his strength has been slowly growing since his rebirth. And he was taught by Xu Kong?" Wei Zhi Rou was surprised. After a quiet conversation with the young man, she looked up, her lovely eyes gazing at the sick boy, smiling and beckoning him, choosing this person.
