C995 Mysterious Crystal

Perhaps it was because she was too tired from running around all night, or perhaps it was because Qing Feng's embrace made her feel very secure, so Zi Lan fell asleep in Qing Feng's arms.

Qing Feng did not wake Zi Lan up. The night was indeed a little tiring for Zi Lan, so she just let Zi Lan fall asleep in his arms.

When he saw that there was no movement, he felt that the pursuers might not have realized their existence, so he relaxed a little.

At this moment, he thought of the thing that the previous person had given him, because he was too busy running away to take a look. Now that he remembered, Qing Feng took it out of his arms and carefully took care of Zi Lan, so that she would not wake up.

It was round and hard, like a stone, and because it was dark, he could not see the whole face of the object, the size of a palm, just enough to hold it in his hand.

Before, he hadn't paid much attention to it because he had been too busy running away, but now Qing Feng felt that the thing in his hand was a little strange, because it felt like skin to him, and it was warm.

It was not just the normal temperature, it was the kind of warmth that felt warm in the palm of one's hand, warm in the arm, warm in the whole body, which made him feel strange.

"What is this thing?" Qing Feng curiously touched the surface of the thing and then lifted it up. He wanted to see the whole face of the thing through the moonlight.

He stood up. The cold moonlight actually went through the thing in his hand and shined on his face. It was glowing red.

"What is this?" Qing Feng blankly looked at the object in his hand. Through the moonlight, he could clearly see what it was.

It was red and transparent, and, though he didn't know what it was, Qing Feng thought it was very precious, because the color and brightness were so charming, and the point was that it had such a special temperature that he began to doubt the stone.

"What's the use of this thing?" He wondered why the man would have given such a jewel to him before he died.

While he was puzzled, a noise came from the nearby forest, as if someone was approaching.

As soon as Qing Feng realized the abnormality of the surrounding environment, his expression immediately changed. He hurriedly put away the red gem and wanted to wake Zi Lan up, but when he saw that Zi Lan was sleeping so soundly, he could not bear to wake her up. Even if he woke her up, it would be very difficult for Zi Lan to run far away now that her ankle was sprained.

Thinking about this, Qing Feng carried Zi Lan on his back and ran towards the south.

"Hmm? Brother Qingfeng? What's wrong? "Zi Lan was still awakened by Qing Feng's actions. She opened her eyes and her eyes were filled with confusion, not knowing why Qing Feng suddenly carried her and ran away.

"There's no time to talk anymore. Someone is looking for us." Qing Feng said briefly, but because he was carrying someone on his back, his speed was much slower than before.

With this speed, they couldn't run very far, and the sounds behind them were getting closer and closer. It wouldn't take long for them to be caught up.

What should they do? Qing Feng became anxious as he heard the sounds getting closer and closer.

On the other side of the city, the assassin had chased after them after discovering the tracks of the two men. He saw traces of a person passing by and thought that this was the person who had been with the target before, and that the item must also be on their bodies. Today, he had fought with two of his companions and exhausted all his strength to kill them. Furthermore, he had already made a decision to betray the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, he had to get that item and would not allow anyone else to take it from his hands.

"No matter who you are, I'm going to kill you today. That thing is mine." The assassin didn't realize that even though he clearly didn't know what that thing was, he had been possessed.

He followed Qing Feng and the others all the way here. When he arrived at the place where Qing Feng and the others had stopped to rest, he stopped.

"Hmm?" He found that the footprints were gone when they arrived here, but there was no one here.

What was going on? If the footprints had disappeared, there could only be two reasons. The first was that those people were here, and the second was that they had found the footprints he had left and cleaned them up.

But he had already felt the presence of someone here, and if the other party wanted to erase his tracks and escape in a short time, he would have to be at least stronger than he was.

However, if that was the case, he must be able to sense Ye Xiao's cultivation capability. There was no need to run away at all.

In that case, the two men must be here.

Thinking of this, the assassin narrowed his eyes and sneered. He walked to the place where Qing Feng and the others were resting and sat down. He was not in a hurry to find the man. Since the man was still here, the man wouldn't dare to run away as long as he stayed here. That way, he would be able to find out where the man was hiding as soon as the sun rose.

He was exhausted from the chase and the fighting with his companions, and he was even wounded in many places, and he wanted to take the opportunity to recover.

He sat down cross-legged and quickly recovered his body. He dared to do so because he didn't feel any aura stronger than his own here. That was why he was so confident.

After the assassin sat down, Qing Feng and Zi Lan were carefully hiding in a patch of grass that was only a few meters away from him.

Because Zi Lan really could not run any further, and Qing Feng could not run too far with Zi Lan on his back. Thus, he found a place to hide, hoping that after discovering that they were no longer here, he would continue chasing them towards the south. That way, they might still have a chance of survival.

But what Qing Feng did not expect was that the man who was chasing them stopped and sat down where they had been resting.

When he saw that the man was alone, Qing Feng thought about rushing out and fighting him, but his reason told him not to, because he found that the man didn't seem to be any ordinary person. At this moment, there was a white air coming from the man's body, which was frightening to look at from a distance.

"A cultivator?" Qingfeng said in a low voice.

When Zi Lan heard what Qing Feng said, she was stunned. She did not understand what a cultivator meant, so she looked at Qing Feng in confusion.

"Brother Qing Feng, what kind of cultivator are you talking about?" Zi Lan asked in a low voice.

Zi Lan's question also stunned Qing Feng. He had only said it subconsciously, but he did not know how he knew about the cultivator at all. Furthermore, there was no description of the cultivator in his mind. He only knew that the cultivator was very dangerous and could not be approached.

He did not reply to Zi Lan's words, and Zi Lan also knew that the person was a bad person, and was here for them, so she did not speak anymore, afraid that the other party would find out where they were hiding.
