In Caldara's palace, Karn sat on his throne and pondered when he suddenly felt that Ankka was using the magic item he had given him frequently.

He pulled one of the same props out of the throne's dark compartment and put it in front of his eyes, and burst into laughter, his face cracking with excitement.

He endured the pain and applied ointment to the rift and told the frightened attendant: "Great, I know the detailed location of Jujin City, and there is actually a lack of military discipline and the number and quality of soldiers are not considerable, and there have even been two cases of the death of the gold medal adventurer stationed there. ”

Karn then ordered: "Pass my order to let the scouts clear the way, and eight thousand heavy armor soldiers will gather at the border, and when my order is given, they will directly cross the border and attack Jujin City." ”

At this time, Karn's cronies slowly walked in and said, "Will it be such a rash attack?" ”

"It's not a rash attack, but the scouts should first explore the surroundings and then let the heavy armor soldiers gathered in the border fortress wait for at least three times the supplies of the usual expedition, so that I can attack, after all, I am not an old fool."

The cronies slowly asked, "Then what if the Saint Seca Fang counterattacks?" ”

"Don't worry! Jujin City is closer to us, and we move along the largest river with those merchant ships, and when we attack Jujin City, we will not occupy it, but simply plunder, and then quickly retreat back to the territory. ”

"I don't understand, why do you really do this?"

Karn looked at his cronies with some dissatisfaction, but quickly regained his usual expression and said, "I estimated that the money and food obtained from robbing the Golden City once would allow all the Caldarans to not have to work for at least half a year, so we will have enough time and resources to expand the army, all right!" If you have doubts, let's talk about it after the war! ”

(Jujincheng)

Ankh led Ellanch to the outside of the barracks, and the smell of blood on their faces as soon as they stepped into the barracks alerted the two of them.

Anka raised her spear and looked around warily, and suddenly a senior stepped out of the largest tent.

After the chief handed the treasure to Anka, he was about to leave, and Anka asked, "Why is there a crack in the treasure?" ”

"Don't ask, since I've returned the things to you, I'll leave quickly!"

Ankh sighed lightly and said, "Forget it, I've got it back." ”

Ankh then led Ellanch west to the Order-controlled city at the end of the Devil's Canyon.

Ankh looked back through the carriage window to find that the barracks had just been on fire, and the shouts even reached Anka's ears.

Ankha exclaimed, "Go back!" ”

The groom shook his head and said, "Just get used to it." ”

Ankha asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”

The groom smiled bitterly and said, "Every time a new gold medal adventurer comes here, there will be a purge movement here. ”

Just as the groom also looked back, he said, "It's strange that this year is a little different, but it has nothing to do with us!" ”

Later, when he arrived at the Ghost Cry Canyon, the groom said, "Guest, there are three copper coins in total. ”

The moment Ankka stepped out of the carriage, Ankh felt dizzy immediately, and then squatted on the side of the road for a while.

"What's wrong with you? Do I need to go back for treatment? Alanshi asked with concern.

"No, you don't! It may be that there is something wrong with Kajudil and then I am also affected because of the contract, and I have been dizzy and nauseous a lot lately, which is out of the way! ”

Alan Hi stepped forward and rubbed her head against Ankh and asked, "Have you spoken to him?" ”

"I haven't heard him since the last time he howled in my ear, and I didn't have these symptoms until a few days of silence."

Ankh was suddenly startled and said, "Could it be that he is already dead?" ”

Alanshi tilted his head and said, "I remember that if one party dies unexpectedly, the other party will either die or fall asleep forever, or be free without the bondage of the contract, but according to your symptoms, it is clear that Kajudil is not dead. ”

Ankh clutched his still-aching head and said, "It looks like we need to speed up the pace, I don't want my head to hurt every day." ”

After that, Ankka set his eyes on the Ghost Cry Canyon, and after observing left and right for a moment, Ankka said, "The strange feeling is a little different from the last time, but I can't say it. ”

Ellanch asked, "Do you need me to fly up and have a look?" ”

Ankh said, "Be careful! ”

After that, Ellanch quickly took to the air, and Ankha waited for about half an hour before Ellanch returned.

"There's a lot of fog up there, and I've been walking around for a long time and I haven't found a place to stay," said Elanshi. ”

Ankh looked at the mountain range in front of him that had changed again and said, "Then you can only go through it directly!" ”

A short distance into the canyon, the two came to a cave surrounded by crystal-studded cliffs.

Alanxi suddenly thought of something and asked, "How did those people who gathered gold city leave?" ”

Ankka said, "I've heard that there are people who walk through Devil's Cry Canyon, and there are also those who use rented griffins and stuff!" ”

Ellanch asked, "Then why don't we rent a griffon or let me be yours?" ”

"They don't want to sell me maps, they don't want to rent all the transportation, and I've heard that hurricanes often form in the mountains near Jujin City, so griffons need to be booked, and we don't know exactly when and where hurricanes will form, and I can't accept the consequences of being reckless," Ankha said. ”

As the two communicated, a giant stone giant appeared.

Elanch stepped forward and yelled, "Be careful! ”

As he spoke, he spat out a large amount of frost and sprayed at Golem, who swung his huge frozen arms at Elancy.

Ankka stepped forward and drew his spear in front of Elanhi.

The Golem took a few steps back, raised his thighs and stomped through the ground to cover them, causing them all to fall into the pit that suddenly appeared.

Ankka clutched his head to find himself in a huge cavern surrounded by a large stone giant.

Ellanch struggled to her feet and said, "Be careful that elemental attacks don't seem to be of much use to them. ”

"What shocked me was that they used traps," Ankka said. ”

Just when Ankka wanted to take the initiative, he found that these stone golems were all standing in place and staring at them.

Ankka hesitated, and Ankka looked around and noticed that there were many abrupt, very flat places on the ground and walls around him.

Ankka decided that it was the location of the Agency, and then Ankka shouted at Elanhi, "Raise the ice arrows towards those flat areas. ”

Alan Xi took the command and stepped forward to shoot a large number of ice arrows, and the traps were triggered to Anka's surprise.

In an instant, a small crater appeared underneath the trap, and a black ball was ejected, followed by a boom.

Ankka jumped into the cave with her arms in her arms, and then there was a rumbling sound inside, and Ankka and Elanch rushed out of the cavern.

This time, the appearance of the outside has changed again.

A hellish scene appeared in front of the two of them, with red earth and pitch-black mountains on both sides.

And Ankh exclaimed and pointed to the end and said, "Exit! ”

The two quickly slid down to the ground.

In an instant, the gas gushing from the ground was inhaled by the two of them, and the two of them were instantly disgusted by the disgusting smell of blood and gunpowder.

Ankh covered her nose and said, "What strange smell?" Fortunately, the end is there, and there are no monsters around, so let's go quickly! ”

As they reached the ninety-ninth step, a sudden bird chirping came from the sky, and the two looked up to find that some blackbirds were hovering over their heads.

Ellancy stepped forward and spewed frost and fireballs into the sky, hoping to dispel the annoying things.

After one of the blackbirds was frozen and fell to the ground, the rest of the blackbirds let out a long-lasting, shrill call.

And Ellanch continued to attack until the sky above was quiet again.

Ankka stepped forward to inspect the half-sized blackbirds, and was surprised to find that they all had skulls the size of human babies and had slender necks that could be wrapped around their bodies.

Allanch said, "It's disgusting, I don't want to be in this weird place!" ”

After speaking, he rubbed his head against Anka, who was stunned, and Anka also reacted suddenly.

Alan Xi asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Ankha said: "I just suddenly felt that danger was approaching!" ”

Then the two continued to walk towards the end, and the more they walked towards the end, the more keenly they could feel that the surroundings were getting narrower and narrower.

As they approached the exit, the two were confronted by several more huge monsters made of mutilated corpses of various creatures.

Elanch exclaimed, "It's disgusting here! ”

The monsters twisted their bodies, made various animal sounds, and quickly struck at Anka.

Ankh exclaimed, "Elanhi get out of the way! ”

In an instant, Ellanch was knocked to the ground by a larger three-headed blackbird.

Ankka is also quickly rammed by a two-person monster, and Ankka grabs its horns when it is hit.

Ankka then got up and lay on top of the monster and smashed it with a punch.

With a final pop, Ankh was sprayed with dirty blood by the exploding monster.

The other monsters were all slain by Ankka and Ellancy, and when they were done, they were all covered in filthy blood and spurting entrails.

Alan Hi shook her body and asked, "Why didn't that blackbird call?" ”

After that, the two of them cautiously paid attention to their surroundings, just when they could already see an exit that was different from their surroundings.

A warrior dressed in black plate armor and riding a black horse with a mace in his hand appears at the end.

Ankh frowned and nervously asked, "Who are you?" ”

The other party was silent and did not respond.

Allanch said, "Maybe it's a monster who can't speak. ”

And the warrior suddenly spoke: "I have accepted the commission to come here and kill you!" ”

Ankha asked, "Whose commission?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the opponent's arrows struck quickly, and one of them passed through Anka's body.

Ankka's body was bleeding and clotting rapidly, and Ankka said, "Maybe I'll be glad that my body has been replaced with an elemental body." ”

After that, the opponent raised his hammer and rode his horse, Ankka also raised his spear to meet him, and Ellanch was intercepted by the three blackbirds.

Ankka used his spear to collide with the opponent's hammer, and the speed of their attacks made it impossible for Ellanch to see their movements.

This also made Anka break out in a cold sweat, after all, this was the first time he had met someone who might be stronger than him.

Ankka found the right time to stab the opponent's left shoulder armor with a single shot, and the opponent also slashed Ankka in the face with a hammer, leaving a mark on it.

The two took a few steps back, and Ankh looked behind him at Elancy, who was caught in a bitter battle with the Blackbird, and knew that he couldn't afford to waste his time.

Ankh then gathered all his strength in his right arm and quickly punched it in the air.

The opponent also used a hammer to resist, and with a bang, the warrior's black horse shook him to the ground and vomited blood, and the hammer was broken in half.

Anka's right arm hung down as if it had been dislocated.

And the other party didn't seem to be lightly injured, the armor was shattered in a large area, and the blood slowly flowed out from the cracks in the armor, and the other party raised his head and said, "Ahem, it seems that it is also a blessed body?" ”

Ankh responded, "Just made a pact with a demon!" ”

After that, the other party was silent, and Ellanch also ran over from the fight and said, "Do you want me to kill him?" ”

Then the warrior got up and said, "You are the strongest person I have ever met here, what a funny thing!" ”

After that, the warrior weakly raised his right arm and pointed at Ankh and said, "It doesn't matter what the task is, you wait for me, wait for me to change into new armor and come to fight you!" ”

Then, just as Ankka was about to ask who had told him to kill him, he laughed and opened a portal and left.

Alanshi took advantage of Ankka's inattention to step forward and grabbed Ankka's dislocated right arm with his forearm and twisted it hard.

Anka knelt directly in pain, holding her right arm and asked, "Are you still going to do this?" ”

Alanthi stuck out his tongue and said, "I've seen others do it in the city." ”

After that, Alanshi and Anka walked towards the exit, and Alanxi asked, "Could it be that the nobleman hired someone to block the way last time because you didn't directly deal with that demon?" ”

Ankka mused and said, "I think it may be that Ranga who saw Irus kill me and got people in the way, but I'm curious how she drove a warrior who was much stronger than her!" ”
