On the second day of August, the morning sun rose high, and the four of Lu Ran, Shi Qi, Yan Rui and Tang Xiaodie met again in the dining hall.

"I think we should go buy some supplies and equipment today. We will enter the Lost Stone Forest for two weeks at a short time and a month at a long time. We need to prepare some necessities for life." Yan Rui looked as if she was in charge of the overall situation.

Lu Ran agreed with Yan Rui's decision, "It is very necessary. I read the information pamphlet about the Lost Stone Forest that was distributed yesterday."

"The Lost Stone Forest is composed of countless large and small boulders. There are no plants and water sources. If we are in a difficult situation, accidents are easy to happen, and we will lose the possibility of obtaining supplies from the natural environment."

Shi Qi held sesame seed cakes in his hand: "Where shall we buy them? This is my first visit to Saint Demon City. Is there a market in Saint Demon City?"

A glimmer of light flickered in Yan Rui's eyes: "Of course we don't buy them at the market in Saint Demon City. Let's go to the black market [-] kilometers north of the city. There is a guard camp not far from that market. Some military supplies were resold in the black market."

Shi Qi also seemed to know about this: "Yes, these materials resold in the black market, even though they are military materials, are much cheaper than ordinary materials."

Lu Ran also nodded acquiescingly, this kind of thing also happened in the black market in Xianyao Town, Bai Ge also turned a blind eye to this.

Everyone knows the truth that blocking is worse than sparseness. The wages in the hands of the guards at the lower level are pitifully low. The monthly salary is only [-] yuan, and most of them have been taken away by the higher-ups. If the guards below are not allowed to get some money themselves , then sooner or later there will be rebellion.

And it is better to buy on the bright side under the condition of secret supervision, at least than secretly.

There have also been cases of selling key equipment at low prices across forces.

Except for Lu Ran, the four members of Lu Ran's party are all Jindan stage, and their feet are not slow, and they quickly reached the black market [-] kilometers away from the Holy Demon City.

It is said to be a black market, but it looks more like a patchwork small town.

Yan Rui looked at Lu Ran's puzzled eyes and said: "Ten years ago, this place was called Heguan Village. Ten years ago, there was a serious bandit robbery here, and all the villagers in Heguan Village were killed. Since that incident, Heguancun has no longer been inhabited and has become a black market."

Tang Xiaodie looked filled with righteous indignation: "Perhaps the village was killed by that evil national teacher again, in order to suppress the unnecessary seal."

"National Teacher?" This was the first time Lu Ran heard this word, and asked suspiciously.

Tang Xiaodie looked at Lu Ran with a strange look in her eyes: "I have some doubts about whether you are from the Heavenly Snake Sect, even the national teacher doesn't know!"

Lu Ran shook his head, and didn't say much about his life experience, but explained: "There is very little talk about Saint Demon City in Xianyao Town."

Yan Rui calmly explained: "The national teacher of the Heavenly Snake Gate is a very mysterious person. Since he came to the Holy Demon City, he has been living in the altar, saying that he wants to suppress some kind of seal."

"As for what is sealed and where is the seal, no one knows. Some people say that it is too childish to seal in the altar."

Lu Ran asked suspiciously: "Why?"

At this time, Shiqi felt a headache about Lu Ran's exhausted historical knowledge: "That's because the holy altar is the place where the emperor of the Heavenly Snake Gate used to sacrifice, and it is the very center of the Holy Demon City. Who would suppress or seal the place where the sacrifices are made?" What a monster."

Lu Ran felt that it was also right: "It does make sense."

Tang Xiaodie added: "So there are rumors that the national teacher is actually the best friend of His Majesty's Longyang, so staying in the altar is for two private meetings."

A really disgusting expression appeared on Lu Ran's face: "Are the upper floors of the Heavenly Snake Gate so fancy?"

Tang Xiaodie emphasized: "This must be true, you must believe me."

Lu Ran asked suspiciously: "Do you have any evidence?"

Tang Xiaodie nodded: "Of course, since the national teacher came, the sect master never came to look for my sister, not only my sister, but even Xiong Kai's mother Zhenfei's room. It's not evidence."

Hearing Tang Xiaodie's description, Lu Ran suddenly remembered Song Qingshu's flexible and vivid words and expressions for some reason.

A picture appeared in front of Lu Ran: a lonely middle-aged woman in urgent need of comfort. '

Lu Ran quickly shook his head, throwing the picture out of his mind. It seems that he will not be able to meet Song Qingshu again in the future, otherwise there may be some messy things in his mind.

Before entering the town, Lu Ran frowned, smelling a dangerous atmosphere at the tip of his nose.

"Lu Ran, did you notice something?" Yan Rui was the first to notice something wrong with Lu Ran's expression.

Although Lu Ran's face is usually stern, it rarely looks very serious.

Lu Ran did not reply to Yan Rui's words immediately, but looked around again before saying: "Didn't you notice? Something is wrong here. These buildings are all reinforced, and they seem to be defending against something."

Yan Rui looked around like Lu Ran, but she didn't see any problems at all.

Lu Ran continued: "Not only that, there are many secret whistles in the black market. The black market looks very prosperous. In fact, many people, both buyers and sellers, are guards. They seem to be acting as if the market is very prosperous."

Yan Rui frowned: "Could it be that what we see here is an illusion every time?"

Lu Ran is not sure, nor does he deny it: "I don't know either, maybe it may be, maybe it may not be, anyway, we left as soon as we finished shopping, I always feel that the situation here is not right."

Yan Rui agreed with Lu Ran's words, and at the same time, her intuition kept telling her that danger might be imminent here.

Lu Ran's first stop on the black market was to buy a Xumi ring with a larger space, and put away the Xumi ring that Li Tingyan gave him.

Tang Xiaodie asked dissatisfiedly: "Lu Ran, why did you buy a new Sumeru ring, is your original one already full?"

Lu Ran nodded: "There are some personal items that Master prepared for me inside. Aren't we going to buy new things? I decided to keep the things that Master prepared for me."

Tang Xiaodie dragged her chin: "The relationship between your master and apprentice is really good."

Lu Ran shook his head: "No, I'm afraid that throwing those things away will cause huge pollution."

Tang Xiaodie: .

The four then bought items such as food, tents, medicines, hidden weapons, and disposable paper charms in the market.

"boom!"

Just when Lu Ran was about to leave with Tang Xiaodie and others, a huge explosion sounded.
