If it weren't for her credulous belief in worshiping the moon, Tang Yu would not have lost his arm, and if it weren't for her credulous belief in worshiping the moon, her father would not have died. To describe Anu as "repaying one's own consequences" is definitely not an exaggeration.
Therefore, Qin Ran didn't like Anu as much as he did Lin Yueru or Zhao Ling'er. At most, he was like an ordinary person and didn't have much to do with him.
Anu's little face suddenly turned red. Qinran didn't spare her any dignity, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
This is indeed the case. She doesn't have much strength herself. She mostly relies on those few spells to deal with the enemy, and she is not yet proficient in them. How can she protect a person?
"Then do you have this ability? Tang Yu Xiaobao will definitely defeat you with one move. He will come over soon." Anu said unconvinced.
Qin Ran glanced at her, without explaining, but said to Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er: "It's time for us to set off."
Lin Yueru didn't have the slightest fondness for Anu, so she snorted heavily, nodded to Qin Ran, and went back to the house to pack her luggage.
Zhao Ling'er was in a dilemma. When she saw Anu wanted to speak again, she quickly stopped her, "Anu, don't say any more. Brother Qinran protected us all the way. If it hadn't been for brother Qinran, I might have been killed by now."
The Moon Worshipers were arrested."
Seeing what Ling'er said, Anu could only give up arguing with Qin Ran and pouted beside Zhao Ling'er, sulking alone.
Soon, after Lin Yueru packed up and bowed, the four of them set out on the road again.
Along the way, Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru talked and laughed, but Anu was left out and felt even more depressed.
When he arrived outside Yangzhou City, Qin Ran's eyes narrowed, but when he passed a path, he saw the fat and wealthy businessman Liu Shimei again. This was not a coincidence, but he followed him deliberately.
At this time, Liu Shimei no longer had the grandeur and luxury of the previous days, and his carriage had gone to no one knows where. He was alone on the road carrying a small baggage.
Moreover, he was sweating profusely, and the silk and satin on his body were all bunched up, and he was no longer as bright as before. It was obvious that he had not recovered any of the losses he had suffered in the past few days, so he could only set out on foot.
Liu Shimei didn't pay much attention after discovering Qin Ran and his entourage. He didn't want more people to see his current embarrassed appearance.
He kept his head down and hurried on. He didn't know that the direction he and Qin Ran and the others were heading now was a group of barren mountains called Poison Ridge by passing merchants.
This barren mountain group is not far from Yangzhou City, and this mountain road is also an important road leading to other trade routes, but there are few people here and few merchants come and go.
Gradually, the place began to become deserted, the official roads became overgrown with weeds, the paths were directly buried, and there were many obstacles to travel.
When Qin Ran and his group and Liu Shimei set foot on this barren mountain, they immediately attracted the attention of a person inside the barren mountain.
In the dark and damp cave, a figure shrouded in black said coldly, "Liu Shimei, you are finally willing to show up!"
The black wind roared, and the black figures disappeared amidst the shrill screams.
The barren mountains are only surrounded by barren mountains on the outside. The interior is overgrown with vegetation and has towering trees that never see the light of day.
The miasma spreads everywhere in these mountains and forests, forming a very vicious poisonous miasma. An ordinary person will die within three-quarters of an hour if he takes one sip. The poison is extremely violent.
Gradually we go deeper into the barren mountains, climbing over one mountain after another, and the dense green forest begins to appear.
Qin Ran and others gradually went deeper and could feel a corrosive aura around them, trying to erode their bodies continuously.
However, they all have cultivation skills, so as long as they don't deliberately consume too much poisonous miasma, there won't be any big problems.
"This place is so scary, let's take another detour!" Anu couldn't help but say.
Lin Yueru glanced at Anu and said: "A detour, even the closest one, is three times longer than the road we are taking now, and it will take seven more days to get out."
"If you don't want to follow me, you can leave now. You don't have to follow me to be an eyesore."
Anu was furious and pointed at Lin Yueru: "Hey, if the princess didn't insist on being with you, I wouldn't bother to follow you."
"Don't argue, everything will be according to brother Qin Ran's arrangement." Zhao Ling'er said with a helpless face.
After Lin Yueru and Anu snorted heavily, they stopped and just looked at each other, still extremely displeased.
Huhuhu
Suddenly, black whirlwinds appeared on the entire barren mountain. These whirlwinds roared strangely, like shrill howls, which were extremely harsh and made people panic and fearful.
Qin Ran looked at everything in front of him calmly. Through these black whirlwinds, he could feel a faint evil spirit emanating from them.
Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru, and the three girls Anu all looked wary.
"Hoo, hoo" the black wind swept across the ground, Qin Ran released his strong energy and directly protected himself and the three women behind him from being invaded.
But Liu Shimei, who was not far behind them, did not have such good luck. Amidst the frightened shouts, the black whirlwind was directly involved in his body. Then, the strong wind carried his body and was swept into the green forest.
, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"What's going on? Is there a man-eating monster here?" Lin Yueru asked in confusion.
She felt that the black evil wind did not have much malice towards them. Its main target was the fat wealthy businessman behind them.
Maybe it’s not easy to see this group of people!
She could only comfort herself in this way. After all, there are many monsters in poor mountains and rivers. Even if she didn't have much experience in the world, she would be cautious at this moment.
"There is indeed a monster living here, and it's not simple at all." Qin Ran said this in a nonchalant manner, and continued walking down.
The three women followed him full of doubts, and they were all a little worried.
"Brother Qinran, what should we do next?" Ling'er asked curiously.
"Let's go take a look!"
Naturally, the traces of Liu Shimei could not be hidden from him, so Qin Ran quickly moved forward with the three women.
At this time, Liu Shimei had been taken to a cave, which was quite dark. Liu Shimei was already very scared to be snatched here suddenly by something, but now in this strange environment, she dared not mess around casually.
He thought that he must have been caught by this monster.
Liu Shimei was very scared. After coming over for a while, he dared to raise his head and look around. Although it was dark inside the cave, there was firelight in the distance. Liu Shimei could vaguely see what was in front of him, and saw a toad in front of him.
The monster's body is similar to that of a human, and its big eyes are staring at Liu Shimei.
