Just after three o'clock in the afternoon, it started to get dark.
When the remaining sunlight was blocked by a distant upper continent, Qianye woke up on time, ate and drank enough, and then checked his physical condition. He got another little surprise, that is, most of the internal organs that were damaged during the previous practice were healed. It seems that the recovery ability of the vampire's physique is indeed not very powerful.
In this way, Qianye will not have the biggest hidden danger in practicing the art of military attack, and he can move forward bravely. Thirty times the King of War level is obviously not his limit!
Qianye checked the light of dawn one last time, then walked out of the hiding place and ran towards Black Current City.
Blackstream City is still not closed at this moment. It still follows the custom of the middle and upper continents, not closing the city gate until midnight and opening it on time at six in the morning.
Blackstream City is not afraid of sneak attacks by the dark race. It is located in the hinterland of this human race gathering area, surrounded by more than a dozen villages and towns for protection, and thousands of expeditionary troops are stationed in the city. This place is only a few hundred kilometers away from a legion fortress of the Expeditionary Force, so the city lord of Blackstream City follows the imperial customs and does not take the dark races seriously.
At this moment, Qianye has a thick beard, and the color of his hair has become a little yellow. He looks like a young scavenger. After paying fifty copper coins , he entered the city smoothly.
Like a real scavenger, Qianye found the cheapest hotel to stay in, and then began to observe Qi Yue's movements.
The Qi family is a prominent family in Heiliu City. The main figure is Qi Yue's father. He serves as a lieutenant colonel and military supplies manager in a division of the expeditionary force, which is a position equivalent to a regiment leader. At the same time, Qi Yue's uncle is also the financial officer of Heiliu City.
With this dual background, the Qi family is already among the top five families in Blackstream City. Moreover, Qi is a common surname, and the Qi family can be ranked among the second-rate families in the middle and upper-class mainland of the empire. Of course, the Qi family in Heiliu City is just a small branch of a distant branch of the main line.
Qianye has collected all the information about the Qi family.
Qi Yue himself is a second-level warrior. He practices the thick soil technique passed down from his family, which gives him extra physical bonuses. The disadvantage is that he lacks offensive power. Qi Yue's hobby is collecting original energy guns, and he has also obtained several high-quality guns. Of course, with the strength of his second-level combat soldiers, most of them cannot display their true power. Mr. Wang, who died at the hands of Qianye, was indeed Qi Yue's uncle and the director of the Qi family's peripheral business.
After Mr. Wang's death, Qi Yue was indeed much more cautious during this period, taking at least two guards with him whenever he came in or out. However, Qianye observed several times and found that there was only one third-level guard beside him. The fourth-level guard never appeared, and he did not know where he went.
Qianye observed for three days in a row, but did not wait for any good opportunity. However, Qianye is very patient. He once had the record of lying in one place for a week without moving in order to ambush a target. This wait is nothing at all.
Late at night on the fourth day, Qianye suddenly saw a truck driving out of Qi Mansion and heading towards the city gate. This is an ordinary supply truck, usually used to pull some game food. However, when it passed by, Qianye smelled a different smell, and there was a strong smell of blood in the carriage.
There's someone in the car! And the breath of blood that Qianye specially remembered showed that Qi Yue was among them.
Qianye lay still and waited for the truck to drive away before he walked out of his hiding place and followed the truck under the cover of night.
The truck arrived at the city gate. It was already closed, but I don't know what the people on the car negotiated with the gate guards. The steam engine pulling the gate roared again, and the thick steel city gate slid to both sides to open a passage. The truck then left the city and disappeared into the night.
Qianye watched the truck go away. He did not go through the city gate. Instead, he chose a section of the deserted city wall, climbed all the way up, then climbed over and chased the truck in the direction it left. The field of view in the wasteland is very far, and Qianye is not afraid of losing him at all.
The truck drove about a hundred kilometers before stopping next to an abandoned energy station.
Qi Yue and two other people jumped out of the car, waiting for something. One of them seems to be a guard, and the other is an old man, but he only has first-level strength according to visual inspection. In a place like the wasteland, this strength can only barely protect himself.
Qianye hid thousands of meters away and observed quietly.
Although it was night, he could still see clearly at this distance, and the effect was even better than using a night vision scope with four times the power. The newly generated dark vision was more powerful than expected. Now within five hundred meters, Qianye no longer needed the sight at all.
After nearly an hour, three figures emerged from the night and walked towards them like ghosts.
Qi Yue made a gesture, and the old man next to him walked to the truck, took a box from it, and stood behind Qi Yue. Qi Yue's guard unceremoniously picked up the force gun and pointed it at the three people walking opposite.
Qianye suddenly felt a vague blood energy fluctuation from those three people. They are vampires!
Qianye was shocked. He didn't expect that Qi Yue quietly left the city in the middle of the night and met with the vampire in private! Qi Yue is the young master of the Qi family, and according to Mr. Wang, there is another layer of hidden identity. He appears here in person, and I am afraid that his plot is not trivial.
Qianye no longer hesitated and immediately began to sneak around, slowly moving closer to the transaction site, hoping to listen to their conversation.
This sneaking went surprisingly smoothly. Qianye used the cover of night and terrain to sneak to fifty meters before stopping.
He was originally an expert in concealment and sneak attacks. Now after transforming into a vampire's physique, he has the cold-blooded characteristics of the vampire. His body temperature can drop to extremely low, and the infrared night vision used by the vampire to detect life has no effect on Qianye. On the other hand, he can control the blood energy in his body and use the Force to cover the blood energy to prevent it from leaking out. The human vampire vision reconnaissance sight is also ineffective against Qianye.
Although the three vampires were pointed at by force guns, they were not afraid.
The leading vampire said in an old voice: "You don't think that you can threaten us with this broken gun, do you? Don't forget that when it comes to the technology of raw energy weapons, we, the descendants of the Holy Blood, are even better."
Qi Yue smiled and said: "It's just an added guarantee. Although this gun is not very good, it is filled with a mithril bullet. I spent a lot of money to get it. As long as it is less than I can't afford to use it as a last resort."
The three vampires were all shocked, and one even took a step back.
The leader of the vampire said angrily: "You actually prepared mithril bullets! Are you insulting me?"
Facing three powerful vampires, Qi Yue did not panic at all, and said calmly: "No! On the contrary, I am extremely sincere in the transaction. This mithril bullet is the testimony of my sincerity. I hope this transaction If it can go smoothly, I hope that all future transactions can go smoothly. If my actions offend you, then the benefits brought by the transaction should be sufficient compensation."
The attitudes of the three vampires softened.
The leading vampire made a gesture, and a companion behind him took out a suitcase from under his cloak and walked to him. This suitcase is a typical vampire style. It is based on black, polished with matte texture, and has bronze patterns on the corners. The workmanship is extremely exquisite and luxurious. The materials and craftsmanship alone are extremely rare. The value of the things that can be packed in this box can be imagined.
Qi Yue made a gesture, and the old man also walked up. The box he was holding was plain and simple. It's just that he held the box flat with both hands, taking every step carefully for fear of overturning.
"There is a special mechanism in this box. Once activated, it must remain absolutely horizontal. The mechanism will be automatically released after three hours. If within this time, its tilt exceeds five degrees, then... bang! "Qi Yue made an explosive gesture.
The leading vampire glanced at Qi Yue and said coldly: "You are really careful."
Qi Yue smiled and said: "There is no way. When facing a powerful fourth-level vampire, you should be more careful. I just said that my purpose is to successfully complete the transaction."
The old man of the vampire clan snorted, but there was nothing he could do. As long as you pick up this specially tuned box, you can't avoid the mithril bullets. And in order to prevent accidents within three hours, we have to leave as soon as possible. After all, anything can happen in the wilderness.
Qi Yue's arrangement completely killed the vampire's idea of robbing goods.
Although this transaction is only the first in a series of transactions, in the eyes of most vampires, humans are still slaves and food from thousands of years ago. Whether you abide by the agreement often depends on your mood at the time.
This old vampire man was indeed prepared to kill people and rob goods if things didn't go his way before he came. As for the transaction, he could just find another person. There are so many humans, there is more than one Qi family in Heiliu City, and the Qi family has more than one young master, Qi Yue.
The vampire old man took the suitcase, carefully inspected it, and handed it to another companion behind him. Then he snorted heavily and turned around to leave.
It wasn't until the figures of the three vampires disappeared that Qi Yue let out a long breath. He seemed to have collapsed and suddenly broke out in a sweat.
Facing a fourth-level vampire, the pressure is unusually high. And past experience shows that if you want to make a deal with the dark race, you really have to be prepared to put your head in your belt. Every gold coin traded carries huge risks commensurate with its value.
But when he took the suitcase into his hand, Qi Yue's eyes also showed an eager light. He carefully opened the box and took a look, then closed the lid with satisfaction and said, "Let's go and get back before dawn."
The three men got into the truck and headed back the same way.
In the night, when the three vampires were running like ghosts, the old man in the leader suddenly stopped! The vampire holding the suitcase behind him couldn't stop his feet for a moment and almost bumped into his back. This surprise was no small matter, and both of them were frightened.
"Be careful! There are enemies, please guard the box!" The old man from the vampire clan ordered quickly and urgently.
At this moment, a round thing was suddenly thrown out of the darkness.
