Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 15 I’m not afraid of life or death, so what else am I afraid of?
"The Zhou family has a very good background."

Zhou Ning looked at his cousin and said teasingly, "You have no shortage of money or status, but you are willing to come to the wilderness to risk your life?"

There are many children of large families who, relying on the power and status given by their families, become indulgent and decadent. But there are also many smart and hardworking elites who, relying on their family background, can achieve success in any industry.

However, there are very few people who are willing to come to the wilderness and temper themselves in crisis.

When in crisis, he is also willing to rescue other warriors.
Zhou Ning's first impression of this cousin was pretty good.

"The money and status are all given by the family."

"Only the courage and strength honed by a warrior belong to me." Zhou Jinyan looked at Zhou Ning and answered seriously.

"good."

Zhou Ning smiled, but his expression suddenly turned cold the next moment: "But I don't have a very good impression of your Zhou family."

"I heard that your Zhou family has the habit of sending the women of the family out for marriage?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

The other warriors of the Qingshan team, including team leader Chu Xing, looked at each other in surprise. It seemed that this mysterious and powerful man had a grudge against the Zhou family.

Zhou Jinyan's expression also turned ugly.

After a moment of silence, his expression turned bitter and he nodded: "Yes."

"The previous generation had a falling out in the family because of this incident, and recently, the family is preparing to marry into the Xu family again."

Zhou Ning pulled out the last tendon, wiped the sword in his hand, and glanced at him coldly: "You should also call the one who is chosen for marriage this time as cousin. I see that you are also a straightforward man, don't you have any ideas?"

Zhou Jinyan smiled bitterly: "She is my third uncle's cousin, we have a pretty good relationship, why wouldn't I help her if she can?"

"But I was born in a family, and have used the family's resources since I was a child. If I leave the family, I will only be an ordinary junior warrior."

"In a big family, let alone my cousin, even me."

"Born into a family, enjoying the family's resources and conditions, you will naturally be controlled by the family."

"I don't blame my family. After all, ordinary people can't enjoy these resources in their lifetime, but I don't want to accept my fate either."

Zhou Ning listened with a strange expression: "From the tone of voice, you are also engaged?"

Zhou Jinyan smiled bitterly: "My girlfriend is still waiting for me. If I delay with the family for another two years, I will do my best to become a mid-level general."

Well, it turns out that this cousin and cousin Zhiyue are tied to the same rope.

"You are a junior general now? How old are you?" Zhou Ning asked in a calm tone.

"24. I became a junior warrior two years ago." Zhou Jinyan answered, with a trace of sadness and depression between his brows: "But I feel that even if I enter the wilderness area, the effect will be limited."

"24"

Zhou Ning looked at Zhou Jinyan, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if a sword was drawn in front of him, which made Zhou Jinyan's heart tremble.

This look only examined Zhou Jinyan for two or three seconds, and Zhou Jinyan felt cold sweat breaking out on his back.

"Your physical training progress is okay."

"But there's something seriously wrong with your heart!"

Zhou Ning's eyes were the sharpest and purest eyes Zhou Jinyan had ever seen in his life. They seemed to be able to cut through even the fear and weakness deep in a person's heart.

"You're afraid."

"You're a coward."

"You have been practicing hard, and you are even willing to go into the wilderness to hone yourself in life-and-death crises."

"But you're still afraid!"

Zhou Jinyan was questioned by Zhou Ning. Each word was not loud, but it made him confused.

afraid?
He dared to go into the wilderness to fight and train, so he is still afraid?
What are you afraid of?
"You are afraid that you will not be able to reach the level of a mid-level general. You are afraid that your family will eventually stop your love with your girlfriend. You are afraid that you will disappoint your girlfriend. You are even afraid of yourself!"

"You are not confident. You don't have the courage to face all difficulties, the determination to overcome all obstacles, and the confidence that no one else can do it."

Zhou Ning stared at him: "I'm not just talking nonsense to you when I say this."

"A person's eyes won't lie. If you look me in the eye, you're afraid."

"You dare to rescue the members of the North Wind Squad and enter the wilderness area. You are not afraid of life and death, but you are not a true warrior!"

"Because you're afraid of yourself."

"How can a true warrior be afraid of himself?"

Zhou Jinyan seemed to have suddenly realized something, but also seemed to fall into deeper confusion. He asked in confusion: "Am I afraid? I don't know, what should I do?"

Zhou Ning raised the knife in his hand: "The knife is the heart, and the heart is the knife. I am helping you because I was confused as you are now. Think about it carefully."

Zhou Jinyan’s incident was just a small episode.

After rescuing the Qingshan team, Zhou Ning prepared to return to the warrior supply base.

During these ten days of fighting, he killed more than twenty high-level beast general-level monsters alone. Most of the high-level beast generals had good abilities to escape and protect their lives, so he was not able to kill them in the end.

The 6-series sword is designed to ensure that it can fight against most high-level beast commander-level monsters without any damage.

However, these dozens of high-intensity battles finally caused the 6-series sword to suffer visible wear and tear.

As for the 5th series combat uniforms?

There was a hole on his buttocks, but luckily only the outer layer was torn. Zhou Ning was afraid that if he continued fighting, the inner layer would also be torn, which would be really unworthy of his dignity.

Need to go back for supplies.

Sell ​​the collected beast general materials, and buy a good sword and a good combat uniform.

The lighthouse of the warrior supply base can be seen from dozens of kilometers away.

After Zhou Ning entered the base gate, he attracted the attention of many base personnel and remaining warriors.

It was nothing else but the combat backpack behind him was simply too big and too full.

The warrior's combat backpack is cleverly designed. It can be unfolded layer by layer, up to the height of an adult, and can carry a large amount of items.

This also makes it convenient for warrior teams fighting over long distances to carry more spoils.

But having said that, there are really few people who can fill their backpack completely!
"This kid, wouldn't he have brought back some beast soldier-level materials?"

Some warriors were whispering and gossiping.

"Kid? Did you see the combat uniforms on the others? Series 5 combat uniforms!"

"What's wrong with the 5 series? Is it so great? I also have a 5 series!"

"Humph!" A lean warrior sneered, "Series 5 is indeed nothing special, but look at the hole on the butt of his combat uniform!"

"From my perspective, the tear marks are clearly claw marks. Think about it, a monster that can tear a 5-series combat uniform must be at least a powerful mid-level beast general."

"You dare to laugh at a ruthless man who can fight a mid-level beast general in close combat?"

The surrounding warriors suddenly realized what was going on and stood in awe, praising him one after another: "Wow, you have good eyesight, bro!"

"We are so superficial. How shameful!"
