In those years when I was a mortal and a demon

Lu Yuan took the jade in his hand and examined it carefully for a long time. Although he did not notice anything wrong inside, he could not see any mystery either.

"Brother Yuan, this is a token specially made by our clan for foreign visitors. After you activate it, wear it on your body. Except for some forbidden areas, you can look around the rest of the places with it. Otherwise, you will be regarded as an invader." Shi Xiao reminded Lu Yuan when he saw that he was staring at the jade for a long time without moving.

Lu Yuan nodded and poured a trace of magic power into it. The jade stone mist flashed and disappeared out of thin air.

At the same time, Lu Yuan seemed to sense something was wrong. He immediately looked up and found that the sea of ​​fog above him seemed to have disappeared, and he could clearly see the blue sky and white clouds.

But after a careful sense, it can be felt that there is obviously some kind of restriction at the location of the original fog sea. Obviously, the fog sea above only blocks the vision of people outside, but has no effect on the people inside.

Next, Shi Xiao took Lu Yuan into the Stone Demon Mountains, and during this period they did not encounter any members of the Stone Demon tribe.

"Brother Shi, how come there are no patrols in your clan's territory except for the two mountains mentioned above? Aren't you afraid that someone with ulterior motives may bypass it and enter from other places?" After being puzzled for a long time, Lu Yuan could not help but ask.

"How can there be none? It's just that you can't see them, Brother Yuan. In every mountain below us, there are countless stone monsters. If outsiders don't get the token from the 'Shuangjian Peak' in advance, they will be discovered by the stone monsters in the mountains in no time. Otherwise, if we rely solely on patrols, the Stone Demon Mountains stretch for millions of miles, and it is impossible to guard them all." Shi Xiao explained, pointing to the countless peaks below.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look carefully. Sure enough, he saw some large rocks slowly moving among the mountains. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see them at all.

Shi Xiao also told Lu Yuan that these were low-level stone demons born in the Stone Demon Mountain Range. They had very low intelligence and could not be considered true stone demons. However, they were naturally very sensitive to the aura of foreign races, so if any foreign race broke in, they would be easily discovered by them.

"By the way, Brother Shi, how many people are there in your tribe?" Lu Yuan suddenly asked this question.

"Probably about 300,000 or 400,000." Shi Xiao replied unconsciously.

"Three hundred thousand or four hundred thousand? Is the population so small?" Lu Yuan was a little skeptical.

"Brother Yuan, you misunderstood. The 300,000 or 400,000 I mentioned are all members of the tribe who have awakened their spiritual wisdom and have made great achievements in cultivation. At least they have reached the level of Demon Guards to live in the Holy City. Of course, if we count those Stone Demons and Stone Lords with low cultivation or unawakened spiritual wisdom, there are still more than 1 billion members of the tribe."

"So that's how it is. There should be quite a few high-level nobles, right?" Lu Yuan asked casually.

"High-level existences? There are three elders at the Demon Lord level in our tribe. Two of them follow Saint Ancestor Yuansha, and one stays in the tribe. There are dozens of Demon Sect level people, but most of them are traveling outside, and there are only ten people left in the tribe. But there are hundreds of Divine General level people, and basically none of them go out. They practice in the Stone Demon Mountains within a million miles..." Shi Xiao had no intention of hiding anything and told him everything.

After that, the two chatted all the way and flew for about three days. As they went deeper into the depths of the Stone Demon Mountains, the level of the stone demons they encountered gradually became higher.

Although most of them are monsters made of rocks and only the outline of a human figure can be barely seen, they have two thick arms on their shoulders, and they can crawl many times more flexibly than those on the periphery.

This is the real stone demon, but because its spiritual intelligence has not been fully opened, it still cannot enter the holy city.

Not long after, Shi Xiao and Lu Yuan finally arrived at the so-called core area.

This was a place where there were many thousand-foot-high peaks. Shi Xiao stopped and took out a round magical weapon.

"Brother Yuan, this is the entrance to the holy city of our Stone Demon Clan. We are about to go in." After Shi Xiao said this, he activated the round magic weapon in his hand.

With a muffled "bang", Lu Yuan found that the thousand-foot-high peaks around him were distorted and blurred like phantoms in the water. After a few violent shakes, they suddenly collapsed and disappeared like bubbles.

Then Lu Yuan suddenly felt his feet were empty, and before he could react, his feet seemed to have stepped on the ground. At this time, the surrounding scenery also changed suddenly, and Lu Yuan and the others were actually in a street more than ten feet wide.

There were various stone buildings on both sides of the street. They were different from what Lu Yuan had seen elsewhere. These buildings were crude and simple, and their only feature was that they were huge. The tallest ones were more than a hundred feet tall, and the shortest ones were twenty or thirty feet tall, and it was unknown how far they extended.

Lu Yuan stepped on the ground, ready to fly to a higher place to see the general outline of the place. But after rising only about ten feet, he suddenly felt his body tighten, and then it was as if a huge force of ten thousand pounds pressed down on him, pressing Lu Yuan back to the ground.

No-fly restriction! Lu Yuan understood immediately.

"Brother Yuan, this is the holy city of my Stone Demon Clan. Except for the patrol guards who are exempt from the ban and some people with special identities, the rest of the people are forbidden to fly in the air." Without waiting for Lu Yuan to ask, Shi Xiao explained.

"I understand. Where are we going now?" Lu Yuan nodded and asked.

"Now let's go meet my fellow tribesman first. We can't do without her this time."

"Well, Brother Shi will lead the way."

The two of them headed westwards towards a mountain not far away.

During this period, Lu Yuan also saw some members of the Stone Demon Clan, most of whom were more than ten feet tall, with four arms on their shoulders, and their cultivation was at the level of Nascent Soul Demon Guards.

There are also some who are two or three feet tall and have the same body shape as ordinary people, but they are at the level of God Generals. It seems that the bigger the stone demons are, the higher their cultivation level is. However, the number of such stone demons is extremely rare, and Lu Yuan has not seen many along the way.

Naturally, the outsider Lu Yuan attracted many curious glances from the stone demons, but they all retracted their gazes after Shi Xiao displayed his cultivation level.

After a while, the two finally reached the mountainside.

At this time, a group of stone men flew towards them not far away, about ten of them. Most of them were Nascent Soul-level demon guards who were more than ten feet tall. Each of them wore gray-white stone armor and carried a stone stick five or six feet long on their shoulders, as thick as a normal person's thigh.

However, the stone demon in the lead was only three or four feet tall, and had the cultivation level of a mid-stage divine general.

"Greetings, Master Shi Xiao. Hey, this master is..." After the leading stone man finished speaking, his eyes fell on Lu Yuan. However, he found that he could not detect Lu Yuan's realm at all, and he could not help but become a little alert.
