"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Let's take him away first." Zhou Zhilu said in a low voice.
Then the three of them disappeared into the alley.
…
Half an hour later, at the foot of a mountain outside Yancheng County.
Zhou Zhilu was grabbing Li Yu's collar and asking him something sternly.
But no matter how much he was threatened or tempted, this guy refused to say anything. When asked, he said he didn't know this or that.
Zhou Zhilu's eyes gradually turned cold as he watched the other party's right hand unconsciously move backwards to protect himself. He immediately pushed Li Yu to the ground and touched the other party's back.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu, who had been just uncooperative, suddenly struggled hard. However, how could Li Yu, who had never practiced, be a match for Zhou Zhilu?
Soon, Zhou Zhilu took out a red crystal from his lower back.
The crystal is crystal clear, the size of a thumb, and the enchanting red color looks exceptionally beautiful.
"Give it back to me! You can take anything else except this. Please give it back to me!" Li Yu on the ground suddenly begged Zhou Zhilu madly.
Looking at Li Yu's reaction under him, Zhou Zhilu couldn't help but feel a little curious about the crystal in his hand. What kind of thing could make people so crazy?
"Miss Ling, do you know what this is?" Zhou Zhilu handed it to Ling Qingxue.
Unfortunately, after reading it, Ling Qingxue's eyes were also full of confusion. She shook her head and handed it back to Zhou Zhilu.
Zhou Zhilu leaned in and smelled the crystal, and found a faint fragrance mixed with a hint of fishy smell.
Miraculously, Zhou Zhilu actually felt the spiritual energy in his body. The moment he smelled the fragrance, he became slightly agitated and actually felt a little excited.
Suppressing his uneasiness, Zhou Zhilu whispered to Li Yu, who was pinned to the ground, "Do you want it?"
"I want to! I want to! I want to!!!" Li Yu nodded eagerly.
"Tell me what this is? What does it do?"
"..." Li Yu hesitated when he heard this, as if he was afraid that Zhou Zhilu would snatch it away after finding out.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhilu instantly drew his sword and placed it next to the crystal.
Seeing this, Li Yu quickly shouted, "No!"
"What is this? What's its use?" Zhou Zhilu asked coldly.
"This... this is called red crystal, and it's something edible."
"Can it be eaten? Are you kidding me? If I eat such a big thing, it will become a kidney stone?" Zhou Zhilu said angrily.
Li Yu hurriedly explained: "No, no, to be precise, it is the smoke produced by eating it. As long as you crush it and light it with fire, it will emit a red smoke. When you inhale the red smoke, you can feel... Haha, feel a wonderful pleasure, a pleasure I have never experienced before!
"You know what?! I've never been so happy, only with this! Every time I eat it, all my worries disappear, hahahaha, I feel like I'm a rich man, a high-ranking official! No! An emperor, hahahaha!"
Zhou Zhilu listened to Li Yu's crazy words and looked at his obsessed expression. His hand holding the red crystal trembled slightly, and the memories of that devil-like thing in his previous life came flooding back.
In an instant, my back was covered with cold sweat.
