"Well, that's good."

Looking at the steadily glowing demon stone in Chang's palm, Erli nodded. This is the seventh day of departure from Donglai County, and there is still more than half of the distance from Luoyang City, and there is still no progress in collecting materials, except for enriching the rest of the things a little.

Most of the precious things still have no progress, and the post guards don't know much about them, while some people directly say that the things inside are not something they can get, and they need to go to the gods.

But where to find those immortals, they don't know, otherwise it is very vague news, and there is no need for Erli and them to chase after the wind and shadows.

Therefore, they settled down and waited until they went to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to see what new discoveries they would make, if they hadn't already...... That can only rely on Zi to find it locally, and he has to go to the demon world to explain the situation.

The environment of the post station is okay, although it is small, but it is still a little troublesome for three people to squeeze into one room, and the bed for sleeping is not so big, but the three of them have two rooms, which will not be too crowded.

Purple is practicing in her own room, and Erli here is still teaching Yi Wanchang's cultivation, and it is still calm, and everyone who has just finished dinner has no plans to entertain.

As for Ono himself, he went to contact the post guard again to try to solve the problem of medicinal materials.

"Let's rest for a while, Chang.

Recent progress has been rapid. ”

The little guy nodded, in this not very hot weather, but there was dense fine sweat on his forehead, and his little face was red, and it seemed that he had consumed a lot of physical strength.

Elle took the demon stone from her palm, and then played with it two or three times, and the demon stone shone like a neon sign as if it had turned on a switch. But before it could do anything, it suddenly dimmed completely, and there was no more sound.

"The demonic power simulated by the magic is still ...... There is an essential gap. ”

After seeing that her hand had turned into a useless waste stone, Ellie was about to throw it into the gap, but she looked at her few demon stones.

When the magic power is not sufficient, he can still make good use of these things, but now it seems that in addition to handing them over to Zi Hechang, for himself who is growing rapidly, the slightest mistake, this demon stone will not be able to withstand a one-time attack, and it will naturally break and lose the role of storage.

"Leigh?"

Just as she was about to take out another piece, Purple's head fell upside down, she didn't take off her mask in the room, and her jet-black hair fell to the ground with gravity, blocking Erlie's view.

"What's wrong?"

"I didn't ...... Thought something was going on.

It looks like it was just an accident, be careful. ”

Looking at her inexplicable expression, as well as a stone with no demonic power in her hand, Zi naturally retracted her thoughts, and then leaned back.

"What... Purple..."

"Mom... What was it just now? ”

Yi Wanchang, who was panting slightly, asked with some longing, but the little guy just saw the appearance of the neon light, which naturally proved Erli's control of "demon power".

"Ahh Just a small accident. ”

Thinking that she had noticed the broken stone in her hand, Erlie handed the stone to the little guy a little embarrassed, and naturally, the little guy couldn't brighten up the wasted demon stone no matter what.

"Woo...?"

It made a strange noise.

Elle smiled and took the stone back, placing another demon stone on Chang's hands.

"Use this, but Ah Chang, you need to rest now.

It's like that stone, and there's no light at all. ”

The ignorant little guy didn't know if he understood or not, so he nodded.

“…… Well. ”

Then Chang looked at the demon stone that had just been placed in his hand, and after being stunned for a while, he handed the demon stone to Erli with both hands.

"Rest first, Chang, and then... Ahh

Before Erli, who had just taken over the demon stone, didn't pay attention, the little guy stretched out his hands and threw himself directly into Erli's arms and rubbed it.

After a moment's pause, Elle laughed softly, hugged Yi Wanchang, and hummed softly, patting her on the back on the other side.

“…… Mom"

"What's wrong?"

“… Do you want to leave after that? …”

“…… yes......"

When I talked to Zi about this before, maybe when was this little guy heard...... I am actually a little troubled, how to talk to Yi Wanchang about this.

I really don't want to see this little guy who follows me, because after I mentioned this, I became like I had just met her.

And...... What's more, seeing such a lovely "daughter" - although a little autistic and silent, she immediately closed her mouth.

I can't tell why......

“…… Can you not go? ”

Slightly closing his arms, Chang raised his head slightly and looked at Erli pitifully.

For a moment, she really wanted to nod, but then she thought of Shenqi, who was in the same mood, so she hastily retracted that idea and turned to the little one's face.

"Mom has a mom too...... Can't make her worry about me too, can she? ”

"Mommy's ...... Mom? ”

The little one didn't seem to have turned around yet, but it seemed that he could understand Erlie's appearance a little. She tilted her head, and it was not difficult for her to substitute her identity for Erlie.

"Yes...... I've got to go back now, or she'll be worried. ”

There might even be some kind of mess, according to what she knew so far, Ellie thought so, but didn't say it. As for the little guy, he lowered his head for a while, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head again and asked tentatively.

"Mom... Can I go over? ”

"What a pity...... Yichang's strength can't pass through it, and my mother has no way to protect herself along the way, let alone protect you. ”

She didn't speak, but buried her head in Erlie's arms, and hugged her all the tighter; And so did Erlie herself, hugging her daughter tighter.

“………”

"I'm sorry, Chang..."

Holding the little one, Erli hummed softly again, but this time, Yi Wanchang didn't make any moves, but fell asleep deeply.

……

……

……

"Strange...... Here again? ”

Sleeping Ellie, once again saw the town made of black boulders, and she still stood in the middle of the road when she thought she would not be able to do so after being away from the ocean, exactly where she was last time.

After a brief look around, Erlie bit off her little finger, and the pain was still there, even the same.

But he still hasn't come to his senses.

"Trouble...... Unless someone wakes me up..."

Spit out her severed finger and reconnect it, Elle said.
