Qin Ming, of course, knew of these two bandits, especially since he had heard plenty of rumors about them recently – they were fourth ti Newcors, among the strongest in the local organization.
What were these two doing in Dalie Valley, and did they have sothing to do with that black mist?
He wondered suspiciously.
“Hurry up and get over here!” a bandit barked.
“We just want to go hunting in the mountains; we’re rely passing through,” Old Man Liu said in a humble tone.
The two bandits, around forty years old, had cold and piercing eyes; one of them grabbed Old Man Liu by the collar and hoisted him up.
“Even though you’re a Newcor, you’re too old to be of any use!” The bandit offered his opinion, then threw Old Man Liu to the side, causing him to almost lose his balance and fall.
He ca up to Qin Ming and said, “You’re so young to be a Newcor; not bad.”
Then, grabbing Qin Ming’s collar, he said, “Jinji Ridge is recruiting in the next couple of days.
Rember to sign up, you hear?
I’ve got your face morized!”
The bandit said this flatly; though his voice wasn’t raised, his tone was unmistakable.
“Okay, rest assured, I’ll take him to sign up when it’s ti,” Old Man Liu hastily said, afraid that Qin Ming, being young and hot-blooded, might talk back to the bandit, which would undoubtedly lead to a fatal disaster!
“An old man like you is just freeloading, aren’t you?” the bandit glanced at him.
“I ant I’d send him to sign up,” Old Man Liu explained.
“Hmm!” the bandit nodded, at the sa ti releasing Qin Ming’s collar.
“I was talking to you just now.
Are you dumb?
Did you hear ?” the other bandit suddenly spoke up, rebuking Qin Ming coldly.
“I was a bit out of it for a mont, but alright, I’ll go sign up when it’s ti,” Qin Ming nodded and said.
…
“I give them my…
regards…” After getting near the Ant Nest, Old Man Liu cursed vociferously, truly fuming, as he had been holding back his anger.
Afterwards, he quickly cautioned Qin Ming to not act rashly and to endure this ti, insisting it was vital to go and register first.
“You are still young, and already so powerful; you’ll beco even more formidable in the future.
Everything is possible, so later on…”
Taking over the conversation, Qin Ming declared, “Later on, I alone will strike Jinji Ridge in the night and eradicate all the thieves there!”
Old Man Liu promptly stopped him, admonishing, “Hush, don’t even speak of such things.
Wait until your fourth or fifth rebirth to contemplate that!”
Next, they smoothly broke into the Ant Nest and discovered that indeed, most of the Silver-headed Ants had been eradicated in the first three days.
The Ant Queen finally revealed herself, a silver insect that, although a third mutation creature, was not adept at fighting.
Its main threat ca from the luminescent liquid it spat out, which had frightening penetrative power and could corrode armor.
At first sight, Qin Ming and Old Man Liu were caught off guard by its sudden spray, narrowly avoiding being hit.
Their first layer of armor was penetrated, but luckily, they had a steel plate on their chests.
Subsequently, the battle was not suspenseful as the strongest of the warrior ants had already been disposed of.
Without the vast numbers of Silver-headed Ants to protect her, the Ant Queen was swiftly defeated by the two of them.
“Struck it rich!” Old Man Liu, upon reaching the depths of the Ant Nest and seeing the Ant Wax-sealed Honey Wine, his eyes lit up with excitent.
Although much had been consud during the winter, even the small amount remaining was of astonishing value.
“Let’s bury it first,” Qin Ming said.
“If we actually sell it, our becoming third ti Newcors will definitely not stay a secret.
The bastard bandits at Jinji Ridge don’t treat others humanely; it’ll be a problem if they find out.”
Old Man Liu naturally understood this and nodded in agreent.
Then, they discovered the pale gold Spiritual Material, and both n showed looks of surprise and excitent; it was enough for the two of them.
…
Back ho, Qin Ming looked at the pale golden liquid in the porcelain jar, his emotions fluctuating, filled with agitation.
Many things had happened recently, making it impossible for him to stay calm.
But as long as he was strong enough, all the troubles he encountered would cease to be problems.
“Thanks to Saint Immortal Qitian, thanks to the Gold Alliance Leader for the support, and to Zhai Cai.
Also, thanks to the Baiyin Alliance Master for the support, and to Three Life Destiny, the foolish one, as well as the two Alliance Masters of Three Life Destiny-San Cunchi.
I’m truly grateful to all.
What happened today, why did the bigwigs all start tipping?
I’ll work hard on writing as a way to say thanks!”
