To avoid unnecessary trouble, Aran and Miraya each changed into a dark cloak before leaving the camp. Under the cover of the night, the figures of the two blended perfectly into the darkness, and as long as they did not make a sound, they would hardly be noticed.

Since it was only a reconnaissance mission, both of them chose to travel lightly. Miraya carries a foldable crossbow and a dagger at her waist. And Aran didn't carry any other weapons except for the Wind God Blade Phantom Sky.

At night, the valley is cold and windy, and the scenery on the mountain looks monotonous and desolate. Aran and Miraya walked for more than half an hour on the rugged mountain road, but all they could see was ice, snow and rocks. When the two climbed halfway up the mountain, the terrain became even more steep, full of unclimbable cliffs, except for a narrow path that twisted and twisted upwards.

Aran and Miraya continued along the trail, but when the road grew narrower and narrower until it was narrow enough for only one person to pass, Aran stopped in discouragement.

"Let's go back, Miraya!" said Aran with some discouragement.

Miraya nodded silently, such an ending was completely expected by her. Young Master Aran is a person who understands, even if this path can really lead to the outside of the valley, it is impossible for the 20,000 troops to pass all at once, and it will only be in vain to go further.

As soon as Aran turned around, he didn't want to slip under his feet, and the whole person lost his center of gravity. Fortunately, Miraya, who was quick with her hands, grabbed Aram's cloak in time to avoid the tragedy. This little accident shocked Aran into a cold sweat, but it also made Aran inadvertently have a new discovery.

"Miraya, look. Something seemed to glow down the mountain. ”

Miraya looked in the direction that Aram was pointing, and saw that there was a hidden cave more than ten meters below them. The cave was hidden behind a large rock, and it would have been difficult to spot in the dark if it weren't for an eerie white light coming out of the hole.

"It's just a cave, Master Alan. "Miraya's eyesight is much better than Alan's, and in the dark she can see things that Aran can't see.

"Maybe we should go in and have a look. Halfway up the mountain, a glowing cavern suddenly appeared, apparently arousing Aram's desire to explore. He wondered what was hidden in the cave.

"I don't think it's a good idea. Miraya had a wary look in her eyes, and although she sensed the strangeness of the cave, she didn't want Aran to risk her life as a bodyguard. Unknown caves are often dangerous places to be, because you have no idea how deep it is, where it leads, and what awaits it.

"I don't want to go back empty-handed. You might be able to find useful information. Aran didn't want to let go of this last chance to explore, and insisted a little stubbornly.

Miraya tried to persuade Aran to give up the idea of taking risks, but at this moment, she noticed a rush of footsteps coming from the bottom of the mountain, and hurriedly made a silent gesture. "Don't be silent, Master Alan. Someone seems to be coming. ”

Hearing Miraya's warning, Aran quickly pulled up his hood and hid behind a rock with Miraya. At this moment, the black clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the silver moonlight fell right at the mouth of the cave, and Aran and Miraya were able to see the faces of this group of people. What came into sight were a dozen barbarians dressed in burlap robes. Led by a male wizard, they walked briskly in the direction of the cave.

There were men and women, adults and children. Everyone wore a wooden mask on their face. The mask is carved with intricate totems and patterns, making it difficult to see the face. The wizard led the group to the entrance of the cave and stopped.

"Your Excellency the High Priest, I have brought the sacrifice you need. The wizard bowed humbly in the direction of the entrance to the cave. The male wizard's voice was not loud, but it was extremely penetrating, and he obviously used a very special kind of sound transmission magic.

"Wait outside the cave for a while, and then listen to my instructions and bring the sacrifices into the cave in order. A deep old voice came from the depths of the cave, and although it was only two simple sentences, it made Alain and Miraya, who were hiding in the shadows, break out in a cold sweat.

Hiding inside the cave turned out to be the High Priest of the White Bones. Aran was nervous and excited. It seems that he was favored by the goddess of luck, but he didn't expect to find the lair of the bone priest by mistake. A bold plan took shape in an instant.

"Miraya, can you do me a favor?" Aran said in a low voice, leaning into Miraya's ear.

"Young Master Alan, what do you want to do?" From Alan's restless eyes, Miraya keenly sensed that this little young master, who had given her a headache, seemed to be brewing some ambitious plans.

"I want to be part of their ranks. ”

Aran said with a sly smile.

"It's impossible, we'll be spotted as soon as we get close. Miraya shook her head, an expression of disbelief on her face.

"It's okay, I have a way to get their attention. Aram took the Wind God Blade out of his pocket. The short hilt of the sword didn't seem to have a bit of murderous aura, but as long as Aran held it in his hand, he could feel that his body was full of infinite power.

"Seeing that protruding rock didn't. Aran said, pointing to a droplet-shaped rock not far away. A part of the rock protrusion hung right above the barbarians' heads.

"Later, I'll use the void to cause an accident. Let that stone fall in the middle of them. Separate them. And you can sneak up behind them and take out the two guys at the back. The two fellows at the back of the line to whom Aram was referring were two barbarian children. The figure is just about the same as the two of them.

Miraya frowned slightly, the plan Aran had said was a bit risky, but it wasn't impossible. Miraya is not only a good archer, but also a great assassin and stealth. It's just that there is no cover on this bare mountain, and it is difficult to get close to the enemy quietly. But with the help of the Wind Blade, she was seventy percent sure that the idea proposed by Aran would come true.

"After killing the last two, let's change into their clothes and put on masks, or we won't be able to blend in with their team without even noticing. Aram almost applauded his brilliant plan.
