On the way into the mountain, Qinchuan looked at Lü Zi, who was walking in front of him. He asked with some amusement, "Are you still angry?"
"You're still talking!"
Lü Zi turned around and glared fiercely at Qinchuan. She said, "It's just a stone, and you actually spent three hundred Spiritual Value Points to buy it in the end. Don't you see that the people around us are looking at us like we're fools?
If you ask me, among those people, Old Liu is the most cunning! "
Thinking back to what had happened just now, Lü Zi was simply angered to death by Qinchuan. He insisted on spending money to buy a stone. No matter how hard she tried to stop him, she could not stop him. He was as stubborn as a donkey!
Looking at Lü Zi's angry appearance, Qinchuan chuckled and said to Lü Zi, "What if I tell you that Old Liu is the one who suffered a loss?"
Lü Zi was stunned for a moment when she heard this. Then, she said with some suspicion, "But that's clearly a stone."
Lü Zi had carefully observed the stone with her perception. Other than its sturdiness, there was nothing special about it.
"Alright, I can only tell you that this stone is very useful to me. However, I can't tell you the specific use for the time being."
Qinchuan smiled and said to Lü Zi, "Could it be that in your eyes, I'm a fool?"
"I thought it was strange that you would be so stupid. I didn't expect that stone to be such a treasure!"
Lü Zi's eyes lit up when she heard this. "No wonder you wanted to ask Old Liu about the origin of that stone."
"What a pity. Although Old Liu made up a story about its forging process, I can tell that he picked it up by accident." Qinchuan felt a little regretful. If only Old Liu had more of these stones.
"Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye out in the future."
Lü Zi patted Qinchuan's shoulder and said with a smile, "We took advantage of them. If they mock us, so be it. In any case, we're the ones who have the last laugh."
"Let's go!"
This time, Lü Zi didn't walk in front alone. Instead, she walked side by side with Qinchuan.
Seeing that Lv Zi did not ask him about the use of the stone, Qin Chuan heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, he was very touched. To have such a close friend was really a very fortunate thing.
…
After entering the outskirts of the Black Moon Mountain Range, Qinchuan and Lü Zi began to be cautious. On the way forward, they encountered a few wild beasts, but they were easily dealt with.
"Rumor has it that the Black Moon Mountain Range isn't dangerous during the day. It's true." Lü Zi looked up at the sky and said, "I just don't know what will happen at night."
At this time, they had already been in the depths of the Black Moon Mountain Range for three hours. They had advanced dozens of kilometers. The sky was gradually darkening. It was time for them to find a place to rest at night.
Qinchuan had lived in the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range for three months. He had experience in finding a safe place to rest in the forest. Along the way, he saw a big tree and stopped to observe for a while. Soon, he found something. He said to Lü Zi, "Let's go, follow me."
While talking, Qinchuan climbed up the tree. Soon, he stopped in front of a spacious tree hole.
Lü Zi followed behind Qinchuan. Seeing the tree hole on the trunk, she was surprised and said to Qinchuan, "Wow, you can find this?"
"It's a little dirty inside. Wait here, I'll go clean it."
Cleaning was a dirty and tiring job. As a man, Qinchuan naturally had to take the initiative to do it.
"Well, I'll go look for a water source nearby. I won't go far. I'll be back soon."
Lü Zi wouldn't be idle. She had to look for a water source and replenish it in time. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if she had to look for a water source when there was no water to drink.
Qinchuan simply cleaned the tree hole and then spread a blanket inside. At this time, Lü Zi also came back.
"I walked around nearby, but I didn't find a water source."
Lü Zi glanced at the tree hole that Qinchuan had arranged. She praised Qinchuan and said, "The layout is good."
"Let's go in first."
Qinchuan looked up at the dim yellow sky and said, "It's the first night in the Black Moon Mountain Range. It's better to prepare early."
After Lü Zi entered the tree hole, Qinchuan found some tree vines nearby and weaved some branches together. Then, he returned to the tree hole and blocked the entrance of the hole with a simple fence. It could be considered as a layer of protection.
Lü Zi sat in the tree hole and looked at Qinchuan's busy figure. She didn't feel uneasy because of the coming night. Instead, she felt exceptionally warm and stable.
"Okay."
Qinchuan clapped his hands and said to Lü Zi, "We'll rest here tonight. If you want to relieve yourself, just go out and squat on a branch. I can't see with this thing blocking my view."
"Nothing good comes out of a dog's mouth!"
Lü Zi glared at Qinchuan and said, "As a Qi Refining Stage cultivator, within three days … … I have no problem!"
After a day of traveling, the two began to rest after chatting and laughing for a while. Not long after, darkness fell on the Black Moon Mountain Range, causing the atmosphere of the entire Black Moon Mountain Range to become strange and gloomy.
Wuwuwu.
A gust of wind blew, waking up Qinchuan from his deep sleep. He slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the tree hole. The fence was still there.
Unknowingly, Lü Zi ran to Qinchuan's side and hugged one of Qinchuan's arms while sleeping. This made Qinchuan involuntarily think of Yu Cai 'er. When they were hiding in the tree hole to avoid the demon beasts, a similar thing happened.
After quietly observing the surrounding situation for a while, Qinchuan was ready to continue to rest. But at this moment, not far away, an extremely mournful roar of a beast suddenly sounded, waking up Lü Zi from her deep sleep.
"What happened outside?"
In the darkness, Lü Zi looked up at Qinchuan's blurry face, then picked up her backpack from the side, fumbled for a while, took out two night vision goggles, handed one to Qinchuan, and said, "Put it on."
Qinchuan was about to reach out to take the night vision goggles. Suddenly, he saw a pair of bloody eyes behind Lü Zi!
"Be careful!"
Qinchuan whispered, at the same time reached out and hugged Lü Zi's body into his arms, and hid on the other side of the tree hole!
Wuwuwu.
The night wind blew, but the silence in the tree hole was a little bit awkward.
Lü Zi curled up in Qinchuan's arms, blushing, and whispered, "Qinchuan, what did you see just now?"
"I …" Qinchuan wanted to say that he saw a pair of bloody eyes, but at this time, there was no third person in the tree hole except for him and Lü Zi!
"If there is no danger, then let's continue to rest."
Lü Zi left Qinchuan's arms and whispered, "I didn't expect you to be like this Qinchuan."
Qinchuan: "…"
