Outside the quiet city of Sabei Khaldi in the early morning, the gates of the great city face east, and two tall watchtowers stand on either side. There is a road several meters wide to the north from the city gate, which extends about 2 kilometers north to the fortress that enters the Maka Plateau from the Kalle steppe.

The Kata star in the east had already risen, and by this time Garr, Black Armor, Rigjanda, Maana, Mana Awang, Ariqi, and Ken had arrived outside the city to get ready to go.

Ken, who walked with Garr, was Condona's personal bodyguard, he was 219 cm tall, weighed more than 160 kilograms, was burly and strong, and his whole body was full of developed muscles. In order to ensure the safety of the prince and his daughter, Condona specially arranged for Ken to join them in the expedition.

"You'll have to be extra careful along the way, Rigyanda, and don't get everyone in trouble." Abbes beckoned to them.

"Hey! Mom, I know, don't worry. Rigyanda rode on her cousin's mount and looked back at Condona and Ebes, waving at them. Ma Anna's mount is a slender-legged beetle with a length of more than 6 meters.

Condona didn't speak, in addition to telling Ken and Maranna to act at the opportunity, he also wished Prince Garer a few words, and then watched his daughter and Garer go away in silence.

Under the morning light of Kata, an elite group of seven Het ants and a beetle mount began to slowly march towards the Maka Highlands in the north, and the members of this adventure team were not only excited but also looking forward to this adventure.

With an average altitude of more than 800 meters above sea level and an area of more than 600 square kilometers, the Maka Plateau in the north of the Kalle steppe is mostly bordered by the forests of the far north and the mountains of Baiji and the Gu Poison Forest in the west.

However, there is an elevation difference of more than 300 meters between the Maka Heights and the Guyao Forest bordering the west. The Maka Border Fortress on the border between the Maka Heights and the Kalle Steppe is 30 kilometers long, and there is also a drop of nearly 300 meters, and only a few of the 30 kilometers of cliff side fortresses are really passable, and one of the most important fortresses is the Black Rock Cliff on the edge of the city of Sabei Khal.

Black Rock Cliff is a 6-kilometer-long fan-shaped rocky slope with a slope of 43 degrees and a width of 3 kilometers at the top. The whole black rock cliff covers an area of about 14 square kilometers, with a height difference of 274 meters, and the wide black rock cliff is dotted with many small forests, and the woods are covered with countless rock pits of different depths, which are washed by thousands of years of rain.

The Black Rock Cliff eventually enters the Kalle steppe and faces east, with a width of just over 800 meters and a clear river on the side. This small river, which originates in the Maka Heights, is called the Yi River, and every time it rains, the downstream of the Yi River will flood, because all the rainwater of 14 square kilometers collects on this river.

"Garr, will you come up and sit with you?" Seeing that she had reached the Black Rock Cliff at the foot of the Maka Heights, Rigyanda rode on the slender-legged beetle and beckoned Jar to come up and sit with her.

Garr looked up at Rigyanda, who was riding alone on a beetle, and guessed she might be a little embarrassed, since she was the only one who didn't have to walk. However, Jia Er didn't care about her embarrassment, and grinned at her: "No, I'll walk." ”

Man Awang and Aliqi, who were walking in front, were very careful, and they instantly realized that Rigyangda actually wanted Prince Jiaer to sit behind them. This little bit of this beautiful girl's thoughts, not only can Man Ngawang and Aliqi see, but Ma Anna and Heijia actually understand Rigyangda's mind.

"Prince, or you can sit on it." Aliqi, the quick-talking man, couldn't help but stop and turn back to Garer and say that they all hoped that the prince would know more about amorous things.

"Yes, Prince. There's Black Rock Cliff in front of you, so you can go up and take a break. Marana echoed that she, as Rigjanda's cousin, certainly hoped that her beautiful and amorous sister would tie the knot with the prince.

Jia Er was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand everyone's true intentions, he looked at Heijia to see what he meant. As Prince Jia'er's mentor and bodyguard, Heijia naturally hopes that he will live up to the infatuation of the beautiful Rigyangda. So Black Armor spread out his hands and playfully looked in the direction where Rigyangda was, meaning to say to Garr why not.

"Okay." Disappreciatively, Garr walked over to Rigjanda's mount, climbed up and sat behind her.

Rigyanda looked back at Garr, who had just come up, and her clever and mischievous eyes could not hide the joy in her heart, and she graciously took the bow and arrow from Garr's shoulder and hung it on the back of the slender-footed beetle. Cute little girl, she didn't realize that everyone was helping her inadvertently, hoping to see her and Jia'er's beautiful love.

"Jia Er, you can help me, otherwise I am afraid that you will fall down in a while." Rigyanda said cautiously suddenly, and her heart was beating after speaking, for fear that Jia Er would see through her careful thoughts.

"Uh......" Garr didn't notice Rigyangda's caution in the slightest, and he honestly held Rigyanda tight. Man Ngawang and Ali Qi, who were next to them, saw through Rigyangda's little trick, and they didn't look back, and the two of them laughed and made a big fuss behind them.

The mount on which Garr and Rigyanda sat was a fine-footed beetle that Anna had carefully domesticated, and Malea gave it the nice name Purple Princess. It is familiar with and understands Ma Anna's various passwords, and has been Ma Anna's right-hand man for three years.

"Di Di Di" Zifei was walking slowly with Jia Er and Rigyangda at this time, and it also turned back to its master Ma Anna to send a signal to let its master ride up. Maranna waved at it for it to move away, and the creature sped forward as soon as it slipped away.

Rigyangda, who was riding on the back of the purple concubine, was startled by its sudden acceleration and fell into Gar's arms, intentionally or unintentionally. At this time, Jiaer simply hugged Rigyangda like this, in Jiaer's eyes, Rigyangda was his sister, and he didn't notice the panic and shyness in this girl's heart at all.

Unlike centipedes, the slender-footed beetle is also a domesticated pet of the three races of the Kalle steppe, but their main function is different from that of the centipede. Centipedes are mostly responsible for farming and transportation, slenderfoot beetles because of their hard armor, more often they are trained to help people hunt and participate in war, slenderfoot beetles are more aggressive than docile centipedes, and the two 30 cm long half-moon tusks in front of the mouth have a bite force of nearly 700 kilograms, which can seriously injure prey. In addition, the slender-legged beetle has 60 50-centimeter-long thin legs and a maximum crawling speed of about 36 kilometers per hour, making it more suitable for chasing prey and participating in combat. Because the slender-footed beetle has smooth and hard armor on its back, it is usually fitted with a saddle that one or more people can sit on. So in general, the slender-legged beetle can carry up to 5 people to move at high speeds, and they have amazing endurance.
