Chapter 1051 Aqima's Discovery

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
The northeastern border of the morning light, the loong mountain area.

The more you go up, the harder it is. There are tangled vines and giant trees everywhere, and the thick canopy is stacked layer by layer, so you can only see a little gray sky from the gap.

The only thing that comforted Aqima was that at least they did not have to fight against the knee-deep snow here, which was less affected by the Demon Moon, and there would not be heavy snow to block the mountain. If it was all like the desperate mountain range, then they could wait until the turn of spring and summer.

But this does not mean that walking through the mountains is a relaxing job.

When standing at the foot of the mountain, Lanshan was just a gentle high slope, not even steep.

But after really entering, I found that there was not even a small path inside, which was not suitable for large troops to cross.

The group climbed less than two miles before climbing the mountain, and three people were injured. In desperation, Sean, the personal guard of the king who was traveling with him, had to let the army be stationed in the small town at the foot of the mountain, and only picked out a few elite troops to follow her and continue moving forward.

A local guide, a god-punished witch, a contact instructor Marr from the Tokat family, and she, Sean and others, form the whole of this weird exploration team.

No wonder there are ghosts!

God punished the witch and said that he was commissioned by His Majesty to take care of her life. After all, it would be inconvenient to act with men all day long.

But Aqima was sure that as long as she tried to escape, the other party would break her legs as soon as possible.

Although Martokat was a liaison envoy sent by King Dawn, what do you need to contact in the deep mountains and old forests?

Instead of staying honestly in the town, I insisted on going up the mountain together, obviously coming with a purpose.

If it weren't for being under the name of Tokater's family and having helped a lot along the way, I'd probably have been trapped by Sean in a burlap bag and thrown back.

Not to mention the exploration team, this unstoppable prospecting team can be said to have been armed to the teeth, and even shovels can be used to cut people. When facing the knights of individual lords accompanying them, they have a very strong attitude of annihilation of the other party at the command, and they are completely different from a group of ordinary miners at the bottom of their lives.

Moreover, none of the people in this group knew what they were looking for. Including Aqima, they were not gold, silver, nor copper and iron. The only guide was just this small coin of unknown material in her hand.

Wait... Wait, the guide walking in front suddenly raised his hand and signaled to stop. Be careful, there is a trap here!

Aqima heard a crack sound from behind her and she knew it was a preparatory action that was about to be launched on the firearm.

Over the past month, Sean has talked to her about His Majesty’s legendary record, and she has also gained a basic understanding of the combat ability of this army.

In fact, compared to Rother, who was once a witch, she found herself preferring to be with ordinary people.

Rose's reaction was much calmer. She didn't even pull out the sword and walked slowly to the guide, Oh?Is this...spun and trip?

That's right, Naf pointed to the top of a tree trunk, and saw that the spear was hidden there. As long as we accidentally touched the mechanism, those things would shoot us into sieves!

Aqima looked along his fingertips and saw several sharp wooden sticks showing between the branches and leaves, as if they were looking down at them coldly from a high place. As long as they fell on their bodies, they would inevitably hurt important parts such as the head, neck and neck.

This is by no means a trap set by the hunter, but more like it is set for people.

Where is the agency?Sean asked in a deep voice.

You can't find them, Naf shook his head. Every vine and every branch under our feet may be part of a tripping cable. It's hard to completely destroy it unless a torch is burned here.

What should I do?Marl muttered.

I can only take a detour, sir.

No, you all back down.Roser suddenly spoke, let me try it.

What did you say?Naf looked at the God-Punishing Witch in surprise. Hey, this is not a joke.

However, before he could finish speaking, the latter had slowly walked into the dangerous area.

This weed is so dense that if you don’t cut it, you can’t see clearly what’s under your feet.

Before he could walk far, Aqima heard a bang, as if something had been pulled off, and then the friction sounded on the tree canopy, like a poisonous snake spitting a letter!

The twisted rope that was hidden in unknown places suddenly straightened and popped out the wooden stick on the top of the tree in one breath!At the same time, Rose also drew his sword!

It's over... The guide immediately closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to watch the woman die on the spot.

But Aqima witnessed everything that followed

The God-Punishment Witch held the hilt of the sword in both hands, slapped the shot wooden sticks one by one like slapping a fly!

Under the impact of the huge force, most of the sticks shattered, but she acted easily, as if it didn't take much effort at all!

After the movement calmed down, the grass beside her was in a mess.

In this way, the trap was lifted. Rose took his sword and returned to the sheath, shrugged at everyone, let's continue on the road.

After realizing what was going on, Naf was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

……

Ah Ha... I know that all of you have superb skills and extraordinary skills, and are worthy of being the great figures from the capital!After the guide finally recovered from the fright, he immediately changed his words, especially this warrior, whose swordsman can be described as superb!

There is no need to say more nonsense, Roser interrupted, you'd better explain why there is such a trap in the mountains?It is difficult for those wooden sticks to throw spears to play any role for wild animals, right?

This is also the question Aqima wants to ask.

It is indeed used to deal with people. Naf honestly replied that the more you go up the mountain, the more traps there are. Therefore, there is another nickname called Trap Mountain, which are all left by lords of all dynasties. The only purpose is to guard against the wolf-hearted kingdom.

Wolf heart?Sean repeated.

That's right, this mountain range almost extends from the sea to the old holy city, which is regarded as a natural dividing line between the two countries. Since the terrain of dawn is lower, it seems to be surrounded by it in a cage, and the cage mountain is also named.Naf explained, but the problem lies in the shape of the mountain. When you are at the foot of the mountain, you should notice that the south side of the mountain is like a gentle slope, which looks very high, but it is very easy to walk down.This led to the robbers, hunters and refugees from neighboring countries often invaded the dawn border territory through the cage mountains. At first, they just plundered resources in the mountains, but later they simply ran into the village to steal and rob, causing panic among the local leaders.The lord was also very troubled, so he simply thought of a solution once and for all, which was to give up Cangshan.

So that's it... Martokat suddenly realized that such a thing happened on the border.

The Lord naturally didn't want to attract the king's attention, Naf continued, "Besides, we are not the poor people on the other side. They can't survive without relying on the mountains and living, so we just need to change our way of living."After the mountain was closed, the lord sent people to plant fast-growing weeds and vines in it, and set up a lot of traps. This custom was passed down from generation to generation, and the mountain became what it is today.

So you turned it into a real cage, which blocked each other, but also imprisoned yourself, Aqima thought.

If it were His Majesty Roland Wimbledon, he would not have chosen to do so.

The guy's eyes always looked into the distance, and even when he was explaining the task to her, the focus did not always fall on her.

No, why do you think of him at this time?

Aqima shook her head repeatedly.

Your Majesty is just an employer.

It is the main thing to complete the task quickly and strive to return to Doris and the others as soon as possible.

……

As the guide said, the group encountered several traps afterwards, but they basically had no effect on the God-Punishing Witch.

Just as night was approaching, Aqima suddenly saw the green light on the coins suddenly become vigorous!

After a dense forest, dazzling light sources also appeared. There seemed to be countless light spots running back and forth between the two, forming a bright bridge of light.

This is a source-level reaction!

She finally found another source!

However, when the exploration team followed Aqima's instructions and walked through the dense forest, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out to be an abandoned building half hidden in the mountainside. The dilapidated stone gate was bottomless, and the pillars engraved with strange symbols on both sides obviously proved that it was not a natural thing.

Aqima also stared at her in surprise.

Didn’t Your Majesty say that what she was looking for was a strange ore?

Why does the source appear in a ruin that is suspected to be abandoned for a long time?
