Qianye reached out and shook her hand, feeling that her hand was still as cold as ice cubes, and then said: "Your name is very strange, but it sounds nice. My name is Qianye, and as for the last name... I forgot."
"I can forget my last name, haha." Ye Tong smiled, but did not pursue the question.
This is considered a formal introduction between two people.
Nighteye looked around, and his eyes especially stayed on the silk grenade trap at the door for a moment, and then said: "As you can see, someone is chasing me. If possible, give me something to eat, preferably medicine. , stimulants or whatever. Besides, I need my weapons."
"I happen to have everything here." Qianye felt a little weird.
Nighteye's attitude was generous, but he seemed to know everything he had on hand. This feeling of being seen through made him very uncomfortable.
A moment later, Ye Tong and Qianye were sitting in the back kitchen of the bar, trying their best to finish off the food on the table.
In the barren Evernight Continent, high-calorie food is precious. The pots of beef on the table were Qianye's food reserves for two months.
Although the mysterious girl and the old man left him dozens of imperial gold coins, in an abandoned place where order was lacking, these things were not so easy to spend. Even if no one dares to plunder it for the time being, he cannot trade it directly and can only find underground channels to exchange it.
Since silver has a special attack effect on vampires, it is also one of the empire's strategic materials. The so-called silver coins are largely just a title. They only contain a small amount of silver, and the main component is a metal called nickel. The Empire chose to mint silver in the early days of establishing its monetary system, as well as to test whether people were contaminated by the blood of darkness. But later on, the silver in the silver coins became less and less.
As for now, as long as Qianye uses a little skill when using it, he can shorten the time he comes into contact with the silver coins so that he will not be affected. If possible, Qianye would rather just take a few hundred silver coins and save a lot of trouble.
In addition to the food, there were two large glasses of spirits on the table. Then Qianye took out a small steel pot that was close to his body and carefully poured the liquid inside into the wine glass. This time, not a drop, but a small half-pot was poured into each wine glass in one go.
Ye Tong's eyes flashed, he picked up the wine glass, smelled it under his nose, and said: "A combat stimulant dedicated to the elite elite legion of the empire? Oh, it is not a pure stimulant, but the main ingredients are included. I heard that this Something on the battlefield can greatly increase a person's strength in a short period of time and turn him into a killing machine. Did you make this? How do you know its formula?"
Qianye was secretly surprised by Ye Tong's erudition, but of course it was impossible to tell her his past experiences. He just said vaguely: "Those who work in my profession always have many channels of their own. It is not difficult to get such a formula. It's just a few silver coins. It's just that it's not easy to collect all the medicinal ingredients. It happens that you can find a few of the main medicinal ingredients nearby, so I prepared some. Although the effect is not as strong as the original one, it is more lasting and effective. It can last for several hours. In addition, it also has a special function, which is to suppress the hunger and thirst caused by the blood of darkness."
Ye Tong's eyes lit up, he grabbed the steel pot and said, "Good stuff! Can you give me the rest?"
Qianye calmly took back the steel pot from her hand and said , "I need it too, and these are the only reserves I have. Oh, by the way, who is chasing you?"
While cutting the beef, Nighteye said nonchalantly: "I am a hunter of a certain organization. I am the kind of person who specializes in hunting down dark races and then collects bounties from the empire. The people who are chasing me now are a group of vampires."
At first, Qianye just raised his eyebrows. In this abandoned land, the status of a bounty hunter was slightly higher than that of a scavenger, but it was also limited. Hearing the last word, he couldn't help but ask: "Vampire?"
Qianye's voice suddenly trembled slightly.
"They are not blood slaves, they are official blood warriors. They also include a guy with a title!"
Qianye suddenly fell silent.
After finishing the food on the plate in front of him, he stood up and put all the remaining meat in the large pot on the stove onto the plate, and continued to eat.
Ye Tong's eyes turned slightly and asked: "I have to escape and fight soon, which requires a lot of energy. Why are you eating in such a hurry? Is this far beyond your normal appetite?"
Qianye said calmly: "I will fight with you later. I will send you to the border of the area controlled by the dark race in the west."
There was undisguised surprise on Ye Tong's face: "You want to fight with me? Don't be kidding, those who are chasing me are all official vampires. Are you going to die with such a weak fighting ability? Let me see …You're not even a third-level soldier, are you?"
Qianye's heart skipped a beat. Under her eyes, it seemed like he couldn't keep any secrets . However, he still insisted: "I have a way to deal with the vampires."
Ye Tong frowned and said, "But if I go with you, I will be dragged down! I have no interest in acting with weak people! Just stay here. If I can escape, I will naturally give you the reward!"
Qianye didn't like Ye Tong's tone very much. It was engraved in his bones, the contempt and neglect of the weak by the superior. Even if Ye Tong had good intentions, this attitude made people extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, Qianye had other plans and simply ignored Ye Tong's attitude and negative opinions.
"We will proceed along the route, keep a distance, act separately and not interfere with each other." Qianye also frowned.
Nighteye said again: "If you do this, wouldn't you become my bait?"
Qianye smiled and said, "Even if it's bait, those vampires have to swallow it!"
Ye Tong looked deeply at Qian Ye Yi Ye, the confusion in his eyes faded, and finally the arrogance and coldness hidden behind them came out, and he said: "It seems that you are very confident in yourself. But in my eyes, this kind of confidence and stupidity There is no difference! A mere second-level soldier is like an ant that can be stabbed to death in the eyes of the higher-ranking vampires. If you must follow me, that's up to you. I can only tell you that following me now will lead to death. ."
"Someone predicted that I would die a long time ago. But not only have I survived until now, I am also living well." Qianye's voice became colder and colder.
Ye Tong frowned and said: "If you are trying to regain face and dignity in front of me and want to pick me up in this way, then it really doesn't have to be like this. Because weak people actually have no dignity at all, and I will never do it. Be tempted by a weak person. Don't die worthless. This is my last advice to you, for the sake of saving me."
Qianye knocked on the table and said: "I have no interest in you at all, I just want to kill those damn vampires!"
"That's up to you."
The conversation ended unpleasantly, and the two of them silently cleared away the food on the table. Qianye then spread out a paper map on the table and drew a westward route with a pen.
This is a winding road that passes through two valleys, climbs over a mountain, passes through large forests, and passes by an abandoned industrial area and the wreckage of a star battleship.
"This is the route to the west."
"Why is it so complicated?" Ye Tong couldn't help but ask.
"The complicated route will help you get rid of those damn vampire bastards following you." Qianye answered, then pointed a little at one of the small mountains with his pen and said: "Our final destination is here. Here. There should be a secret stronghold of the Vampires, where high-level Vampires once appeared. Judging from their badges and acting styles, they should be the group called the 'New Party'. Among the Vampires, their behavior is relatively mild. Maybe you There's a chance to be embraced for the first time and become one of them."
Ye Tong finally looked at Qianye with a little interest and said, "You even know about the 'New Party'. It seems that your past is not simple! You shouldn't always be just a small owner of this bar, right?" "
"These are not secrets. Many people in the empire know about them."
"But there are not many people who can find the vampire's secret stronghold without being discovered. There are even fewer second-level soldiers who can do this."
"It's not important. What's important is that you may be able to get your first support and continue to live. If you become a member of the 'New Party', we will have fewer opportunities to meet on the battlefield in the future."
After speaking, Qianye clicked hard on the map and said: "Remember the route, I will burn this map soon."
He looked at the time again and said, "We'll leave in twenty minutes!"
Suddenly, Qianye seemed to have returned to the time when he was killing decisively among the red scorpions.
And Ye Tong finally started to become a little curious about Qianye after seeing the map Qianye took out, his choice of travel route, and the last marked Vampire secret stronghold.
Could this pitifully weak little guy really be able to do anything?
Time passed quickly, and when the bell rang at three o'clock in the middle of the night, the back door of the bar quietly opened, and Ye Tong left alone, quickly disappearing into the night.
Ye Tong will walk for ten minutes first, and then Qianye will follow. As for who is the bait, it all depends on how time plays out.
Ye Tong gradually revealed his arrogant nature and was completely unwilling to act together with Qianye. Qianye also happened to have many secrets that he didn't want her to see, so he came up with this lone wolf hunter mode.
In the wild, this is a classic tactic of the Red Scorpion. Two masters who work well together can kill a dozen dark races of equal strength in a mobile battle that lasts for several days and nights.
After Ye Tong left, Qianye dug up the floor in the center of the hall, revealing a stone slab with a ring underneath. After he pulled the stone slab away, he pulled out a dark red suitcase about one meter long from the deep pit under the stone slab.
Qianye put the suitcase on the ground, then carefully turned the combination lock. When he heard a soft click, his face relaxed and he opened the lid of the suitcase.
Inside the suitcase are the main components of a Force rifle and various additional kits!
The rifle has a thick, heavy body and is a bit clumsy. It is covered with slightly concave Force lines, and the lines are covered with special black paint. This special black paint can block the light emitted when the lines are activated, and will not affect the force lines' ability to absorb the free force of space. This thin layer of coating alone is more expensive than a traditional high-precision sniper rifle.
Qianye took out the gun body and assembled a rifle that was almost half his body length with extraordinary skill. This rifle is all painted in dark black, has all kinds of accessories, and is extremely well made. Even though it was placed there quietly, it still contained a faint murderous aura.
Qianye has always wanted to avenge his Red Scorpion comrades on that fateful night, but now the blood of darkness has become difficult to suppress, and he knows he doesn't have much time. A year is too optimistic, only a few months at most.
So now, Qianye just hopes that when he returns to darkness forever, he can drag a few more vampires on his back.
