"Flap, flap, flap~"
As the two approached Stone City, a black crow descended from the night sky.
"Coach Dou?" Lu Ran turned slightly, facing the direction of Dou Zhiqiang.
"This is the fifth Stone City you've reached," Dou Zhiqiang said.
"Hmm," Lu Ran nodded.
He had come to Evil Dog Village for training several times, but this time he had traveled the farthest and in the shortest amount of time.
Dou Zhiqiang suggested, "You can start heading back from here."
"Is half the time already passed?" Lu Ran sighed inwardly.
This time, he had entered the village late, and now a week had passed since it was already the beginning of the tenth lunar month.
Dou Zhiqiang explained, "On one hand, time is limited; on the other, you can no longer move forward."
Lu Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, "The area ahead, is it off-limits to trainees?"
Dou Zhiqiang replied, "It's off-limits to Stream Realm students."
Lu Ran: "..."
