At night, corpses piled up and burning fires remained outside the town. Blackstone Town ushered in the quietest night in the past five years.

Two consecutive battles left Blackstone Town wounded to the core. Although Qi Yuan hit a quadruple kill against the second-level transcendent in Crescent Town and forced back the opponent's attack, the number of casualties in Blackstone Town still reached 270.

Twelve people, the number of injuries was even more horrifying, almost everyone was injured.

After this battle, Qi Yuan and Situ had a tacit understanding and did not meet each other. Situ commanded the remaining soldiers and hunters to start rebuilding the collapsed houses in Blackstone Town. Qi Yuan stayed alone in his room, except for Hu Hao who came over that night.

After chatting for a while, only Luo Shiyi came over and took away the Death Harvest with a damaged scope for repairs.

Early the next morning, after Qi Yuan finished washing, he put down his towel and looked at himself in the mirror.

The two bullet holes left by the ghost gun had scabbed over, and with a gentle rub, the scars disappeared. Apart from being slightly pale, the new skin showed almost no trace of injury.

"Recovering well."

Qi Yuan touched the wound on the back of his neck, and found that there were also no traces. With both steel defense and steel power, the body's self-healing speed seemed to be a little faster.

Afterwards, Qi Yuan felt the extraordinary power in his body and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The extraordinary power that was depleted by the annihilation warhead in the battle yesterday has been restored to full strength after a big meal and a night's rest last night.

"Qi Yuan, open the door!"

Master Luo's weak and somewhat obscene voice came from outside the door.

Qi Yuan paused, opened the door, and saw Master Luo standing outside the door, holding a wooden food box in his hand.

"Hey! I knew you were hungry, so I brought you something good!" Master Luo said, lifting the food box.

Qi Yuan's nose moved slightly and he smelled a strong fragrance, as well as the smell of cumin.

"It smells pretty good, it should taste good!"

"This is the hind leg meat of the rock-armored lizard you killed!" Master Luo said mysteriously:

"I baked this thing all night last night, and I also added some mysterious seasonings to it. They are all good things that the hunters brought from other places!"

Master Luo walked in with a food box, put the things on the table in the room, and then found a chair and sat down.

Opening the food box, there was a large plate of grilled barbecued meat inside, with a layer of powdery seasoning sprinkled on top.

After taking out the barbecue, Master Luo took out two palm-sized iron kettles from the food box, unscrewed the lids, and the rich aroma of wine instantly wafted out.

“Good meat goes with good wine!”

Master Luo took a deep breath and couldn't help but swallow.

After Qi Yuan sat down, Master Luo didn't use chopsticks. He tore off a piece of steaming barbecue with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said:

"You should try it too. My barbecue skills are superb. Situ wants to taste it, but I don't even agree!"

Qi Yuan also took a sip, and his mouth was filled with fragrance.

“It tastes really good!”

Master Luo took a sip of the wine, chuckled, and started eating. Qi Yuan did not show any signs of weakness, and a whole five kilograms of roast meat soon went into their stomachs.

After becoming an extraordinary person, you will not lose strength even if you don't eat for several days. Similarly, your food intake will also increase linearly every time you eat!

Qi Yuan did not touch the jug on the table. After Master Luo drank up the jug in front of him, he seemed to be still a little unsatisfied. He picked up the jug that Qi Yuan had not touched, took another sip, and drank with satisfaction.

Hiccup, then he put down the wine bottle and asked in a low voice:

"Where are you going after leaving Blackstone Town?"

Qi Yuan did not answer, but chuckled lightly and said, "Did Situ ask you to come?"

"That's not true." Master Luo shook his head, picked up the wine glass and took another sip.

"Blackstone Town is too small to accommodate you and Situ at the same time. If you stay, even if they can live in peace now, there will definitely be conflicts in the future."

"If we really get into a fight, who will you help?"

Master Luo glanced at Qi Yuan, coughed dryly and said:

"How can I, with my old arms and legs, get involved in this kind of thing? It's the same for any of you as a leader. You have to be good and serve me well."

Qi Yuan thought for a while, and it seemed that he was right. The old guy had his own skills and was popular everywhere.

"Aren't you afraid that Situ will cause trouble for you when you say this?"

"Even if he is here, I would still say the same thing." Master Luo snorted lightly, his expression a bit arrogant.

Although the first-level evocation has no combat effectiveness, the armor-piercing bullets that can be made can directly increase the combat effectiveness and attractiveness of the entire gathering point. Many wilderness hunters have been staying in Blackstone Town with the purpose of exchanging a few bullets from him.

Armor-breaking bullets.

In the dangerous wilderness, armor-piercing bullets are not only a hunting weapon, but also a life-saving asset.

"Although Situ is a man of rules, he is actually not big-minded when it comes to certain things. The strength you showed yesterday not only scared off Wei Tao, but also shocked Situ. Now he will definitely be worried about you secretly giving

He's going to take a shot."

"Blackstone Town can't stand the trouble anymore. If you two do it again, Black Steel Shelter may have to intervene."

Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

"Will Blacksteel Sanctuary get involved in Blackstone Town?"

Shelters and Blackstone Town are not on the same scale at all. Even the smallest shelter can easily crush Blackstone Town without any room for resistance.

It is only because Blackstone Town is located at the junction of Black Steel Sanctuary and Quicksand Sanctuary, and the sanctuaries also have a tacit understanding not to interfere in the affairs of ordinary gathering points, that there are so many large and small gathering points in the wilderness.

.

Even if it was Xu Kui's idea to attack Blackstone Town, Quicksand Sanctuary didn't have much support behind him, and it didn't even provide him with mechanical weapons, because once Quicksand Sanctuary was occupied by force, it would also give Black Steel Sanctuary a reason to intervene.

.

"Normally, we won't interfere." Master Luo squinted his eyes and said, "But if it involves the existence and destruction of Blackstone Town, Black Steel Sanctuary will definitely intervene. The two black iron mines here are quite valuable.

Blacksteel Sanctuary will definitely not sit back and watch Blackstone Town fall into disrepair."

"Furthermore, people from the Holy Court of Doom appeared here the day before yesterday. After Si Tu reports this matter to the Black Steel Sanctuary, investigators will definitely be sent over to investigate. Si Tu may completely turn to the Black Steel Sanctuary."

"Hey, as long as he completely surrenders to Blackstone Town, he may be able to get the third-level evolution potion. If another mechanic comes to the Black Steel Sanctuary and repairs the junk he collected, Situ's strength will expand rapidly!"

"So, it seems I have no chance?" Qi Yuan touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Do you like Blackstone Town?" Master Luo rolled his eyes, then took out a piece of parchment from his pocket, which was still on the table.

"Eleven took two of your robotic arms, and I won't take advantage of you. You should be able to use this thing."

Qi Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he moved the food box away. The folded parchment was spread out on the table, and a hand-drawn map was clearly displayed in front of his eyes.

Large areas on the map will be gray. Blackstone Town is marked in the center of the map. Not far away are Crescent Town and several gathering points. These gathering towns are like stars scattered in the center of the map, making the map more interesting.

Gray areas appear less monotonous.

On the gray edge, Qi Yuan saw the markings of the Black Steel Shelter and the Quicksand Shelter, and further away was a patch of blue with danger written in dark handwriting.

"I have some general knowledge of the gathering points marked above. I can help you refer to where you want to go," Master Luo said.

Qi Yuan observed carefully for a while and suddenly asked: "Why is the map divided into two colors: gray and blue?"

"Gray is a safe area." Master Luo took another sip and sighed softly.

"Although the wilderness outside looks full of danger, the gray area is actually a safe area that is regularly cleaned by the shelter. There are no overly powerful insect beasts here, there are no nests where insect beasts gather, and there are no polluted areas where polluters gather.

hole."

"If the Sanctuary had not cleared away most of the insect beasts and polluters, a gathering place with such strength as Blackstone Town would not have been established at all. A few third-level insect beasts might have been destroyed."

"Those blue areas are dangerous areas that have been initially explored but have not been cleaned. There are a large number of powerful monsters there. The shelter will continuously send cleaning teams to clear the surrounding areas bit by bit. When the blue areas are cleared,

After all the powerful monsters in the colored area are killed, the blue area will turn into a gray area."

Qi Yuan stared at the blue color at the edge of the map, his brows furrowed into the character Sichuan.

This is not too far from the blue area, and the second sign-in area has not been refreshed yet. If it is refreshed to the blue area, then your subsequent sign-ins will become a gamble again.

Master Luo noticed where Qi Yuan's eyes were locked and said nervously:

"Although you can kill second-level extraordinary beings now, the blue area is still too dangerous for you. Don't go in and die! Even if third-level extraordinary beings enter the blue area, they need to go together, and they cannot go deep.

Powerful extraordinary beings may perish in the blue area!"

Qi Yuan silently withdrew his eyes and glanced back and forth between the black steel shelter and the quicksand shelter.

"How strong are these two shelters?"

"I don't know." Master Luo spread his hands, "If one day you step into the third level, you will know if you go in and take a look."

"Only the third level can enter the shelter?" Qi Yuan was a little surprised.

"That's not true." Master Luo shook his head.

"There are also many ordinary people in the shelter, but they are all clean humans who have not accumulated any pollution. For people outside, the shelter is a paradise. There is endless food and clean water. All they need is a simple payment.

If you work hard, you can get enough food."

"Many hunters are queuing up to enter the shelter, but unfortunately the shelter is not open to the public. Although the shelter also absorbs some wilderness hunters from nearby gathering places every year, the threshold is very high, and Level 3 is only the most basic of them.

Entry requirements.”
