Along the way, they met all kinds of people, some were warm and hospitable, and some were indifferent and distant.

But no matter what kind of people they met, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang maintained a peaceful mind and responded with their kindness and wisdom.

One evening, they came to a small village.

The people in the village were busy preparing dinner, smoke rose, and the air was filled with the aroma of food.

"Let's rest here tonight." Luo Chen suggested.

Qing Shuang nodded, and they walked into the village and found a small inn.

The proprietress of the inn was a kind middle-aged woman. She received them warmly and prepared a clean room for them.

At dinner, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang sat in the lobby of the inn and ate with other travelers.

The hall was bustling with people talking about all kinds of things, from weather to harvest, from legends in the distance to news nearby.

"Have you heard? Recently, someone saw a strange beast in the nearby mountains." A traveler with a frosted face said mysteriously.

"Really? What kind of beast is it?" The person next to him asked curiously.

"I heard that the beast has wings and can fly in the sky, and it is so powerful that it can even break the hardest rocks." The traveler described it vividly.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other. They knew that this might not be an ordinary beast, but some kind of monster they had never seen.

"Let's go and see tomorrow." Luo Chen whispered to Qing Shuang.

Qing Shuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen's decision always had his reasons.

The next morning, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang said goodbye to the innkeeper and headed for the mountains.

They passed through the dense forest, crossed the stream, and finally came to the place the traveler said.

Sure enough, they saw the legendary monster.

It had huge wings and sharp claws, and was standing on a huge rock, howling at the sky.

"It seems we have to be careful." Luo Chen clenched the sword in his hand.

Qingshuang was also ready for the battle, and she knew that this battle would not be easy.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang approached the monster step by step. The monster seemed to have noticed their arrival, turned around, and stared at them with its blood-red eyes.

The battle was about to break out, and Luo Chen and Qingshuang launched an attack at the same time.

Luo Chen's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and Qingshuang's sword light was like a meteor across the night sky.

The monster roared, flapped its wings, and raised a gust of wind, trying to blow Luo Chen and Qingshuang down.

However, Luo Chen was as steady as a mountain, and Qingshuang jumped up lightly to avoid the wind.

"Qingshuang, you attack from the left, and I from the right!" Luo Chen shouted.

Qingshuang nodded, and her figure was like a swallow, and she lightly went around to the left side of the monster.

The sword in her hand flashed, and a cold light pierced the monster's side.

The monster roared and tried to fight back with its claws, but Qingshuang's swordsmanship was extremely flexible and easily avoided its attack.

Luo Chen launched a fierce attack from the right side. His swordsmanship was open and closed, and each sword was accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, directly hitting the monster's vitals.

The monster was forced to retreat again and again by the offensive of the two, and the roar was mixed with pain.

The battle lasted for several rounds. Luo Chen and Qingshuang cooperated tacitly and gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, after a subtle cooperation, Luo Chen stabbed the monster's heart with a sword, and Qingshuang's sword tip also accurately pierced its throat.

The monster let out a last wail, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, and the dust flew.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang smiled at each other. They knew that this victory was the result of their tacit cooperation.

"Qingshuang, your swordsmanship is getting better and better." Luo Chen said approvingly.

Qingshuang smiled and responded, "Without your cooperation, I can't do so well."

The two rested for a while, and then began to examine the body of the monster.

They found that there was a crystal core emitting a faint light in the body of the monster.

Luochen carefully took out the crystal core and observed it carefully.

"This crystal core seems to contain powerful power." Luochen said.

Qingshuang came over curiously, "What can we do with it?"

"Maybe it can be used to enhance our weapons, or as an aid to cultivation." Luochen replied.

They decided to take the crystal core with them in case of emergency.

Afterwards, Luochen and Qingshuang left the forest and continued their journey.

A few days later, they came to a prosperous town.

The town was bustling with people coming and going.

Luochen and Qingshuang decided to stop here for a while and replenish some necessities.

In the town's market, they saw a variety of stalls, from fresh fruits and vegetables to exquisite handicrafts.

Luochen and Qingshuang walked and looked, enjoying the tranquility and bustle.

"Luo Chen, look at this." Qingshuang pointed to a small ornament on a stall and said.

Luo Chen walked over, picked up the small ornament, and found that it was an exquisite jade pendant with some ancient patterns engraved on it.

"This jade pendant looks very special." Luo Chen said.

The stall owner was a kind old woman. She smiled and said to Luo Chen: "This jade pendant is not an ordinary ornament. It has the function of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding evil."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that this jade pendant might be useful to them.

So, Luochen bought the jade pendant and hung it on Qingshuang's waist.

"You'll be safer this way." Luo Chen said with a smile.

Qingshuang looked at Luochen gratefully, she knew that Luochen always thought about her.

...

evening.

The two rented a small courtyard in the town.

Luochen and Qingshuang planned to stay in this town for a few days.

At the same time, they can also sort out their thoughts.

Take a look at where to focus your future experience.

"Qingshuang."

In the town, in the small courtyard.

Luo Chen sat silently under the stone pavilion, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. He whispered to Qing Shuang beside him: "What do you think of this town?"

Qingshuang leaned gently on the railing of the stone pavilion, and the moonlight shone on her beautiful face, reflecting a faint brilliance.

She thought for a moment and then spoke slowly: "This town is very peaceful, people live peacefully, and seem to be isolated from the troubles of the outside world, but I feel that we cannot stay here for too long. After all, our goal is to improve ourselves and explore the unknown. "

Luo Chen nodded, knowing that Qing Shuang's words were reasonable.

Although they can find a short period of peace in such a small town, their journey is far from over, and there are more challenges waiting for them.

"You're right, Qingshuang." Luo Chen stood up and walked to Qingshuang's side, his eyes firm, "We can't forget our original intentions. Although this town is peaceful, our road is still long."

Qing Shuang turned around, stood side by side with Luo Chen, and looked at the night sky in the distance.

She said softly: "We can stay in the town for a few days to collect our thoughts, but then we must move on. Maybe we can inquire about some news about the outside world here to prepare for the next journey."

Luochen nodded in agreement, and they decided to go to the teahouses and wine shops in the town early the next morning, where news was usually concentrated.

On the second day, Luochen and Qingshuang got up early, had a simple breakfast, and walked towards the center of the town.

They came to a teahouse that looked quite lively, filled with all kinds of people, including businessmen, travelers, and local residents.

They found a seat in a corner to sit down and ordered a pot of tea and some snacks.

Luochen and Qingshuang were sipping tea and listening attentively to the conversations of the people around them.

"Have you heard? The northern border is not peaceful recently, and foreign troops are gathering." A middle-aged man with a beard said worriedly.

"Yes, I heard about it too. It is said that they are looking for the legendary 'Stone of Apocalypse'. That stone is said to have the power to change the world." A young scholar next to him added.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, knowing that this news was very important to them.

If the aliens are really looking for some kind of powerful force, then they must find out the truth as soon as possible to prevent possible disasters.

"Qingshuang, it seems that our direction is clear." Luo Chen whispered to Qingshuang, "How about we go to the north to explore the truth about this 'Stone of Apocalypse'?"

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's decisions were always carefully considered.

They decided to stay in town for one more day to gather more intelligence about the northern border before setting off north.

In the next day, Luochen and Qingshuang asked around the town for news, and they got some useful information from different channels.

They learned that there was indeed an alien army operating on the northern border, and they seemed to be very obsessed with the "Stone of Apocalypse."

Luochen and Qingshuang packed their bags and prepared to leave the town.

They know that the road ahead will be full of unknowns and dangers, but they also understand that only by facing challenges can they become stronger.

In the early morning of the day they left the town, Luochen and Qingshuang stood at the entrance of the town and looked back at the peaceful place where they had stayed.

They know that if they leave this time, they may not come back for a long time.

"Let's go, Qingshuang." Luo Chen said softly, with a firm light shining in his eyes.

Qing Shuang nodded, she held the hilt of the sword tightly, and embarked on the journey to the north side by side with Luo Chen.

They passed through the fields around the town, crossed the rolling mountains, and finally came to a desolate border area.

The air here is filled with tension and uneasiness, and signs of alien army activities can be seen everywhere.

Luochen and Qingshuang carefully avoided the enemy patrols and went deep into the hinterland of the border.

They discovered an ancient ruins occupied by alien armies, which seemed to be the location of the "Apocalypse Stone".

The ruins are full of various mechanisms and traps.

Even formations, restrictions, and some monsters that only appear in ruins have appeared here.

"It's dangerous here."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and knew that every next step must be done with caution.

Luo Chen took out the jade pendant he just bought from his waist and handed it to Qingshuang, "Bring this with you, it may help us withstand some unexpected events."

Qingshuang took the jade pendant and hung it gently around her neck. She could feel the faint warmth emanating from the jade pendant, and it seemed that there was really some mysterious power flowing in it.

The two continued to go deep into the ruins, carefully avoiding the traps at every step.

Luo Chen is good at observation, while Qing Shuang has a keen intuition about danger. The two complement each other, allowing them to successfully pass through many obstacles.

Finally, they came to a huge stone door, which was engraved with ancient runes and emitted a faint light.

Luo Chen observed carefully and found that these runes seemed to have some connection with the patterns on the jade pendant.

"Qing Shuang, look at these runes, they seem to have the same effect as the patterns on your jade pendant." Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang nodded, she took off the jade pendant and tried to bring it close to the stone door.

The moment the jade pendant approached the stone door, it emitted a brighter light, and the runes seemed to be activated and began to rotate slowly.

The stone door slowly opened with a heavy roar.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breath and carefully walked into the secret room behind the stone door.

In the secret room, a huge crystal stone quietly suspended in the air, emitting a soft light.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were both shocked by the beauty of the crystal, but they soon realized that this should be the legendary "Stone of Revelation".

However, just as they were about to approach, a figure suddenly flashed out from the darkness and blocked them.

It was a warrior of an alien race, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.

"Who are you? Why did you break in here?" the alien warrior asked.

Luo Chen stepped forward and replied calmly: "We are just here to explore the truth of the 'Stone of Revelation', and we have no ill intentions."

The alien warrior sneered, "You humans always have endless greed for power, but the power of the 'Stone of Revelation' is not something you can get involved in."

Qing Shuang clenched the sword in his hand, ready to deal with possible battles at any time.

Luo Chen tried to persuade the alien warrior: "We are not greedy people, but we are worried that the 'Stone of Revelation' will fall into the wrong hands and cause disasters."

The alien warrior was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Luo Chen's words.

Finally, he slowly put down his weapon, "I can trust you, but you must prove your sincerity."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, they knew this was an opportunity and a challenge.

They must show their strength and sincerity to gain the trust of the alien warriors.

Luo Chen stepped forward and began to explain their origins and purpose to the alien warriors, while showing the intelligence and evidence they collected along the way.

Qing Shuang supported silently on the side, her existence itself is a silent power.

After an in-depth exchange, the alien warriors were finally moved by the sincerity of Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.

He told them that the "Stone of Revelation" does have extremely powerful power, but it also contains huge risks.

The reason why the aliens are looking for it is to prevent it from falling into the hands of evil forces.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang understood the concerns of the alien warriors, and they promised to help protect the "Stone of Revelation" and prevent it from becoming the source of disaster.
