An hour later.

The night has gone deep and it is almost midnight, but Lu An and Yao are still moving forward in the forest without stopping.

After all, the area just now was a red misty forest, and the smell would attract many strange beasts. Lu An currently has no combat capabilities. For safety reasons, they have to find a truly safe place.

Their horses were probably dead long ago, and the two of them kept walking in the dark forest. After such a long time, Lu An finally regained some color on his face. And Yao was not afraid of the dark, so the two of them walked

It's pretty quiet too.

However, continuing like this was not an option. It was almost midnight, and Lu An felt that he had to find a place to stay for one night.

However, just when Lu An was about to give up, suddenly his eyes lit up. He saw a small town not far ahead, and he felt happy! ??

"Let's go and find an inn there!" Lu An said quickly.

"Okay!" Yaoya was very happy. Who doesn't want to sleep on the bed?

After having their goal in mind, the two of them hurried forward significantly faster. Finally, before midnight, the two of them entered the town. However, because it was too late, there were no people on the street.

Only the barking of dogs still sounded from time to time, and the streets were very deserted.

The two of them walked on the road, looking at the small shops on both sides of the street, and finally found an inn after walking for a while. Their eyes lit up and they hurried over.

The inn was not closed, and there were still lights flickering inside. After the two entered the inn, the lobby was empty except for a sleeping waiter sitting behind the counter.

Lu An walked over and said to the waiter, "Hello, we are staying in a hotel!"

Lu An's voice was not loud, but the waiter suddenly woke up and quickly stood up and looked around as if he was frightened. When he saw a young man and a woman wearing a curtain hat were about to check in, he

Breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you staying in a hotel?" The waiter said impatiently, touching his neck, "One tael of silver!"

Lu An was startled. The price was not cheap, but it was impossible for him to have so little money left. The waiter gave him a key after putting the money on the table.

"The fourth room on the second floor." The waiter said directly, "I won't give it to you."

After saying this, the waiter lay down again and fell asleep.

Lu An didn't care when he saw the waiter's appearance. He and Yao walked up to the second floor and soon arrived in the room.

The reason why Lu An did not open two rooms was because he wanted to ensure Yao's safety. Just like when he stayed at the hotel before, Lu An said to Yao, "You sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the floor."

"But, you were injured today." Yao said worriedly, "You can sleep on the bed today, I can just sit up and sleep for a while."

"No need." Lu An shook his head and said in a firm tone, "Go to sleep, I'm fine."

Seeing that Lu An would not waver at all, Yao sighed softly. Although this boy was a few years younger than her, he had a firm temper that she could not persuade at all.

Soon, Yao pulled down the curtains and fell asleep on the bed. The day was a bit tiring for her, and it was too late.

Lu An did not go to bed immediately, but sat on a chair, poured a cup of tea and drank it. The tea was already cold, and the tea did not taste good. Lu An sat quietly, thinking about today's events.

This blood-red gem is obviously not a good gem. The fact that Yao can sense it means that Yao has a certain understanding of it. After she gets up tomorrow morning, he will ask about this gem.

Lu An sat on the chair, and soon he felt sleepy. He had used more Demon God Realm today, and his mind was indeed empty. So he originally wanted to practice for a while, but he couldn't hold on and lay down on his back.

Asleep on the table.

The next day, early morning.

When Lu An slowly opened his eyes, there was already dazzling light shining in from the outside. Because it was spring, the light seemed very warm. It shone on the person's body, making him feel lazy and comfortable.

Lu An didn't expect that he slept so deeply this time and didn't feel anything all night. He got up and moved his shoulders vigorously, making a series of sounds.

After a night's rest, his strength

His strength has also recovered by about 60%, which makes Lu An feel a little heavy. In the past, when using the Demon God Realm, he would be able to return to normal after a night's rest. But this time, it was so much worse.

After moving his body for a while, Lu An turned around and looked at the bed. However, when he found that there was no one on the bed, he was stunned and stood up!

Where are the people?!

Lu An frowned and ran to the bed and groped around. There was no mechanism on the bed. Could it be that he didn't even know that Yao was taken away right in front of his eyes while he slept?

Thinking of this, Lu An hurriedly ran out. However, the moment he opened the door, Yao was standing outside!

"Ah!" Yao was startled, and almost dropped the things in his hands. Lu An was startled when he saw this, and quickly reached out to help support him.

"Where have you been?" Before Yao Yao could speak, Lu An frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you that you can never leave me?"

"I'm going to get some breakfast..." Seeing Lu An's stern look, Yao was a little frightened and whispered, "I saw you were sleeping so soundly, so I didn't want to disturb you..."

Lu An frowned slightly and looked down at the breakfast for two on the tray, but his eyes did not relax at all. He looked up at Yao and said again, "I'll say it again, no matter what, you are never allowed to leave my side. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Yao Yao said quickly after seeing Lu An's serious look.

"Come in." Lu An took the tray from Yao's hand and walked into the house, while Yao also walked into the house. After Lu An placed the food on the table, the two of them started eating.

After both of them finished eating, Lu An sat on a chair, thought for a while and then said, "Yesterday, I went to the place you mentioned in the forest and saw a man. His skin and hair were dark red, and his eyes were also red.

He has a very strong self-healing ability and a way to temporarily increase his strength."

"According to my observation, he drinks the blood of the Celestial Master to enhance his strength." Lu An frowned slightly, paused and then continued, "Moreover, I found a blood-red gem on him."

"Blood red gem?" Yao was startled when he heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Can I have a look?"

"I'm afraid not now." Lu An shook his head slightly and said, "The mist emitted by this gem can make people lose their minds. Those heavenly masters and strange beasts yesterday, as well as you, were probably all affected by this gem. Here

It's a small town and I'm afraid something will happen."

Yao Yao nodded slightly when he heard the words. Indeed, Lu An was right. She frowned and thought seriously, and only raised her head again after a long time.

"In this world, there are many things that can disturb people's minds, make them lose their minds and fight each other." Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said seriously, "Heavenly magic, elixirs and even plants can do it. But in

Among these things, there is one thing that is particularly powerful."

"Its name is, Xingshan Moonstone."

"Xingshan Moonstone?" Lu An was startled, hearing this name he had never heard before, and asked curiously, "What is that?"

"This is an extremely rare stone. It is not even an ore, because it does not appear in the form of a mine, but appears piece by piece. This kind of gem is born from the accumulation of resentment and grows out of places. I am afraid that it has experienced

Something about which I feel particularly resentful."

Resentment?

Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this. This kind of thing sounded mysterious and mysterious, which made him a little confused.

"Actually, no one can explain clearly the formation of the Xingshan Moonstone even now. But what is certain is that every time the Xingshan Moonstone appears, it is accompanied by disaster. Once someone gets it, there will be an endless supply of it.

Gaining strength. The strength is getting stronger and stronger. According to historical records, even heavenly masters above the eighth level have appeared."

"The power of the Celestial Master will enhance the effect of the gems, and the gems will also corrode the Celestial Master's sanity. In the end, the Celestial Master will definitely lose his mind completely and become a demon."

"At that time, a powerful heavenly master who lost his mind would cause chaos in the world. There have been many disasters caused by the Xingshan Moonstone in history, and the Xingshan Moonstone has also become sought after by some people who want to gain power.

s things."

Listening to Yao's words, Lu An kept looking surprised. After Yao finished speaking, he gradually calmed down and thought seriously.

Because Lu An learned one thing, that is, this Xingshan Moonstone can really make people stronger very quickly.
