After about an hour of marching, the storm had begun to take shape, and the howling cold wind was beating on everyone, and the wind was so strong that it would not have been possible for any team to survive it completely if it were not blocked by a huge mountain peak.

Ankka braved the cold wind and came to Karn and asked, "Is there any shelter nearby?" ”

"To the left is a relatively short road, and you will soon reach a fortress, but there is no mountain to cover it, and it is a bit dangerous, and the right is a long road, passing through a stone forest, and there is no danger except for the iceman."

Later, after a conversation between the two, they agreed that walking through the stone forest was the best option, after all, there were no strong storms there, only a few icemen, even without Anka, with so many heavily armored soldiers, they would definitely be able to handle it.

After half an hour of walking, they came to a large cavern, and after a period of darkness they came to the stone forest in Karn's mouth.

The entire stone forest is made up of glittering crystals, and Anka can see his reflection anywhere here, with tall crystal pillars connecting from the ground to the dome.

"It's beautiful!" Ankh looked around curiously, and occasionally ran to the side in search of even brighter shattered crystals.

"These are rare places for rare magic ores to gather in the entire Holy Mountain, and they are also the places where the energy of the entire Holy Mountain is the most turbulent."

Karn patted Ankh on the shoulder and said, "I've heard that drinking the spring water here can cure injuries, would you like to try it later?" ”

Although Ankka got goosebumps because of the other party's tone, she still showed a strong curiosity about everything here.

"Woo, it's so uncomfortable, get out of here!" The magic sword seemed to be unable to stand the energy emitted by the crystals around it, and began to wake up from its slumber uncomfortably, and kept arguing in Anka's head, hoping that Ankka would take him out quickly.

Ankka then ran after Karn, hoping to get outside and calm his mind.

Karn then led the group through a dense stone forest to a narrow passage made of earthy yellow stone that could only be passed by one person.

"This is the former resident who stayed here, and the mural on it has been removed, so I hope the front hasn't collapsed!" Karn stepped forward to explain the origin of the passage.

Because the passage was narrow, the soldiers in front could only take off their armor and move forward, and just as the first soldier gave the safety order, there was a scream from inside, and the sound came from inside and rushed to everyone's ears and began to echo in the stone forest.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

Karn quickly gave the order, five heavily armored soldiers with bows and crossbows aimed at the passage, and with the sound of footsteps from inside, crossbow arrows were fired quickly.

A few rounds of crossbow arrows were fired, and the soldiers outside also lifted their shields and hammers as they ran out of arrows, and began to prepare nervously.

With a bang, a slender arm stretched out from the darkness and directly crushed the head and helmet of the soldier at the front.

After that, several flying needles shot out at high speed, their quality was so hard and fast that it directly destroyed the armor of the soldiers, and it was deeply rooted in them, and after a while, the soldiers fell to the ground due to the poison.

"Who!"

"Don't be nervous, Your Highness, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A cacophony of female voices rang out, and a beautiful woman threw out the corpse of the soldier she had used as a shield and slowly walked out of the darkness, a scent that Karn and Ankh smelled as the woman approached.

The woman was startled at the sight of Ankka behind Karn, and quickly regained her dignified demeanor.

"It's the Assassin." Ankka screamed in surprise when he found out that the other party was actually the assassin from the previous time.

"Do you know each other?"

"Just remember calling it Ranga or something."

Then Langa interrupted the conversation between the two with a smile and said: "The memory of the little thing is really not very good, but I don't like to repeat my name for so long, just call me Ranga by His Highness." ”

Karn said with a serious face, "What do you want to do!" ”

Just as Ranga was about to take a step further, he saw Ankka walk directly to a distance of only about ten meters from him, and in an instant, the memory of himself being pierced surfaced.

Ranga then stood on the spot, looking at Karn with a dignified look, and kept Ankka on guard, even if he couldn't beat him, he could still use the magic scroll to escape the moment the opponent burst out with murderous intent.

"Your Highness, we're here to help you."

"Heh, is there anyone who helps others like this?"

"It's just some soldiers, don't care."

"What do you mean by helping me?"

"I heard that your father didn't like you too much, and we can help you become the next king."

"No need." After saying that, Karn took advantage of the other party's inattention to draw his sword and swung it.

After the sword was gently pinched by the other party, Ranga said in a pretentious tone: "Your Highness, don't be so angry! I'm here to persuade you for your own sake! ”

"Anka!"

At the moment when Ranga was stunned, Ankka strode forward and swept a leg right in Ranga's waist.

Then Ranga howled in pain and retreated into the dark passageway, and the sharp pain spread throughout her body, and if it weren't for the magic charm she wore to relieve the pain, the pain that shattered her organs would have made her faint directly.

"Little thing, why don't you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade so much!" After saying that, Ranga continued to throw several poison darts that burned the curse flames, hitting Anka in front of him.

"Sure enough!"

Ranga confirmed his suspicions after seeing that nothing had happened to the other party, and that the other party was probably some kind of nature priest or a holy knight who could heal toxins and cursed flames.

"If you use a sword, it's likely to be a paladin, but why haven't you used a skill all the time? Why did the last poisonous fog work for him? Could it be that he still has equipment on him that can shield curses and heal quickly, but he didn't bring it last time? Or was it just deliberately not brought last time? ”

Just as Ranga was thinking quickly, Ankka had already strode forward, and the magic sword quickly stabbed at him, and Ranga pulled out the poisonous needle with all his strength and quickly slapped it on Anka's ear.

"Ahh Ankka's ear was slapped and he couldn't hear a sound for a moment, and the sharp pain caused Ankka to take a few steps back and fall to the ground and faint.

Later, Langa was worried that Anka was pretending to be injured and deliberately leading him over, so he hurriedly said before escaping: "Your Highness! I've left you some small gifts, see you next time! ”

After saying that, Ranga used the teleportation scroll to escape again, and a large number of huge icemen appeared from other caves.

After Karn's quick use of healing to relieve Anka's pain, Karn held Ankka, who was still unconscious, and carefully continued to move forward, even though he knew that there must be danger ahead, but there was nothing better to do.

Later, after passing through a narrow passage, Karn was surprised to find that Ranga had not laid any traps.

The two then came to the end, a huge palace made of black metal, and the exit was behind the Broken Throne in front of them.

"That's?"

Karn noticed that the four metal golems in front of the throne had shifted their original positions, and were now all half-kneeling facing the throne, suggesting that Ranga had moved and awakened them, and that they would likely be besieged if they advanced rashly now.

Karn decided to wait for Ankka to wake up and figure out a solution, and after about half an hour, the metal gate behind him suddenly fell rapidly, causing Karn to stand up in surprise without warning.

Then the golems in front of the throne suddenly activated and began to slowly approach them.

"Was the mechanism loosened or was it broken by that Ranga? Now I can only hold on until the child wakes up. ”

Thinking of this, Karn placed Ankka in the corner and led the golems away alone, and the golems seemed to be in disrepair due to the disrepair of their projectile weapons, and could only use their knives and guns to attack.

Karn retreated and defended with his sword, and kept trying to find their weak spots.

Although these metal golems have become slow due to disrepair, each of their attacks is still deadly.

Karn saw the parts of a puppet exposed, and stabbed it directly with a sword, and although the puppet lost its mobility, Karn's sword was also pressed by the gears and could not be pulled out.

Ankka slowly woke up from the nightmare, clutching his still sore head, noticing Karn being cornered by the puppet, and quickly understood what was going on.

Ankh then stepped forward and smashed a punch on top of a puppet, although the puppet's body was smashed into a large hole and was smashed out directly, but because it did not destroy important parts, it still stood up slowly.

Karn yelled as Ankka grappled with the golems, "No need to grapple, destroying their limbs and exposed parts makes them immobilized." ”

Ankh then pulled out the magic sword and slashed it at the puppet's thigh, and to his surprise, the magic sword did not burn flames but stuck directly inside.

"Woo, it's so uncomfortable!"

The magic sword seemed to be unable to exert its strength because of the surging divine energy that still existed around it.

Ankka then pulled out his magic sword and began to slash at the golem as rough as a tree, and in Ankka's mind, as long as he could cut into it, he could cut the target through continuous attacks even without using magic flames.

Ankka then lowered his sword and dodged the attack, tearing the golem's legs off, and then began to swing at the other golems with great force, and soon the entire throne room began to echo with the sound of ping-pong.

After completely eliminating all the puppets, the two of them walked through the secret passage behind the throne for an hour, and finally saw the fortress only a few hundred meters away in front of them, and happily, the storm that had been expected to last for a week was now beginning to show signs of stopping.

Ranga kneeled in front of the six thrones in embarrassment after fleeing back.

"What? Persuasion failed! A stern voice came from above the throne.

Ranga shuddered and said, "If it weren't for the man I met last time, I would have been able to use the toxin to bring Karn to its knees this time, just as I did to the other Caldarans." ”

"Bastard! Don't cover up your failures! ”

"You're a little arrogant, the next time you act with someone else, you don't need to come back if you fail!"

"Yes, I won't fail next time."

Ranga then trembled and was helped out of the throne room by the doctor.
