Ice Storm suddenly jumped up.
She was instinctively about to gather the power of ice and wrap herself into a hedgehog filled with icicles.
She took several deep breaths before she suppressed the urge to cry out in surprise.
Originally, she had wanted to play dumb, but when she saw ng Chao’s bottomless eyes and thought of his ability to predict the future, as well as the current situation of the two, she hesitated and could only smile bitterly. “How do you know?”
“Didn’t Platinum Embrace say before he died that ‘Jackal’ Kanus used a map of the Holy Mountain that ca from the land of Holy Light and was supposedly drawn by the Holy Light army 3,000 years ago as bait to lure Lion King and Tiger King to explore the Holy Mountain?”
ng Chao continued to speak calmly, “I think that even if ‘horn of destruction’and ‘Blade of Fury’are not intelligent and ticulous wise n, a fake map of the Holy Mountain can’t fool them, right?
“Here’s the problem. As far as I know, canus the jackal has been struggling to survive in Tulanze. I’ve never heard that he once snuck into the land of holy light to steal so priceless map.
“On the other hand, your father, I’ve heard from you that he stole an important item from your mother. After he returned to Tulanze, he beca one of Canus’right-hand n.
“Co to think of it, isn’t this strange? Your father is from the leopard clan. How could he gain the trust of an ambitious, lurking, sensitive, and suspicious scher so easily?
“Unless, your father and ‘Jackal’Kanus are after the sa thing — the secret in the depths of the sacred mountain.”
“That’s it?”
Ice Storm was noncommittal, but he still frowned deeply. “Based on such a simple and crude speculation, you think I have the map of the sacred mountain? That’s too much!”
“That’s just a reason.”
ng Chao continued, “What I can’t figure out is that you’ve always been by my side. Even if the great horn army suddenly collapsed and put us all in danger, you never left . Why is that?”
“This –“
Ice Storm was stunned for a mont and imdiately said, “Didn’t we make this clear from the beginning? We need to rely on each other’s military strength to break through the chaotic battlefield and arrive at Crimson Gold City. At the very least, the closer we are to Crimson Gold City, the better.
“I don’t know what you’re going to Red Gold City for, but I’m going to find my father.
“Ever since my mother died, my father has been my only family in this world. He left without saying goodbye and abandoned and my mother. After so many years, he should at least give an explanation!”
“Is it that simple?”
ng Chao smiled and said slowly, “The mother who raised you alone is a witch. If I’m not wrong, in addition to the identity of the ‘snow leopard female warrior’, you should also be a witch, at least half a witch, right?”?
“I don’t believe the propaganda of the Holy Light Temple. They treat witches as demons who skin and eat human flesh alive. They dig up corpses in the cetery, dissect the internal organs, and sew up the ssy organs to give evil life.
“However, since they chose to be enemies with the temple of holy light or even the entire holy light camp, the witches and wizards naturally abandoned the feelings of ordinary people long ago.
“For example, ‘Why did you abandon back then, Dad?’this is a trivial matter that only ordinary people should be concerned about. I don’t believe it. This is what drove you to co to Tulanze and lay dormant in the arena for two years. Now, you are sparing no effort and risking your life to find your father’s motive.
“Alright. Even if you were really traveling with in order to find your father in the beginning, we’re not far away from Crimson Gold city now, and I’ve caused a great deal of trouble by rescuing the ancient Dream Saintess. I might even beco enemies with ‘Jackal’kanus.
“If your purpose is really that simple, you should leave now and part ways with to find your father alone.
“What’s the point of traveling with , a dangerous person who has caused so much trouble?
“However, I observed your attitude carefully and found that although you were curious about my background and worried about the terror of ‘Jackal’kanus, you never thought of parting with . Even when you knew that I was going deep into the Sacred Mountain, you were only surprised and doubted my rationality and determination, but you didn’t back down. What’s the reason for that?
“One possibility is that you’ve been deeply impressed by my charisma. Without realizing it, you’ve made up your mind to sacrifice your life for my career.
“But another possibility is that our destination has been the sa from the very beginning. That is, red gold city, or more precisely, the holy mountain not far northwest of Red Gold City!
“I think that you are not necessarily lying when you say that you are going to find your father.
“But finding your father is not your ultimate goal. It is just a ans to achieve your goal.
“Aren’t you going to find your father and tell him about your blood and kinship? You are even less interested in asking why your father left without saying goodbye back then. You just want to take back the thing that fell into his hands. What is that? A fragnt of the map of the Holy Mountain?
“That’s right. Although you have firmly controlled every single hair and every line on your face, your pupils contracted subtly. It seems that it is indeed a fragnt of the map of the sacred mountain.
“As long as you can piece together the fragnt of the map of the Sacred Mountain in your father’s hands and the fragnt of the map of the Sacred Mountain in your hands, you should be able to piece together a roughly complete map. Perhaps it will help you all the way to the temple of the Sacred Mountain, right?”
Icestorm was silent for a long ti.
She rubbed her twitching face hard and let out a long breath of frosty air, causing the temperature in the depths of the cave to drop by seven or eight degrees in an instant.
“How did you know that my father and I only have a portion of the map fragnt in Our Hands?”She asked gloomily.
“It’s very simple.”
ng Chao shrugged and said, “If your father had all the maps of the sacred mountain, with the ambition of ‘Jackal’Kanus and his ability to build a digging force and the great horn army, he would have long been able to explore the sacred mountain alone and take the inheritance of the sacred mountain’s temple for himself. Why would he have to be humble in front of Lion King and Tiger King?
“It’s probably because your father only stole part of the map fragnt of the sacred mountain for him. Therefore, he still needs to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger. He needs the elite soldiers of the Lion and tiger clans to rush in front and help him go to the depths of the sacred mountain to explore and break the curses of the various traps, right?
“As for why you only have part of the map fragnt of the Sacred Mountain in your hands, isn’t that even simpler? If you had a complete map, why would you need to find your father? Just go deep into the Sacred Mountain!”
ng Chao said it as if it was a matter of course.
Icestorm was stunned.
“Just this, just based on this, you can conclude –“
“It’s not a conclusion. I’ve only walked all the way here. There are so suspicious points that I have to spit out and discuss with you. So what if I’m wrong? I have nothing to do, and it’s free to make a wrong guess!”
“This –“
“There’s no need to ‘this and that’. Pretend that I’ve exposed your secret and that you’ve suffered a great loss. Even the sky is about to collapse.
“To be honest, perhaps the sacred mountain temple really does contain an inheritance from the starry sky, but I really don’t take it to heart.
“No matter how powerful an inheritance is, it must be able to be digested, absorbed, and integrated. It Won’t be easy to completely change or even control everything by relying on the so-called ‘Sacred Mountain Inheritance’.”
After saying these words, ng Chao looked at icestorm with a calm expression.
He also accepted the other party’s gaze that was as sharp as an ice blade as it repeatedly scratched his face.
“What exactly do you want?”
Icestorm stared at ng Chao for a long ti, but he still couldn’t figure it out, “If you say that you’re not interested in the sacred mountain inheritance, then why did you fight and sneak all the way here and enter the sacred mountain that is filled with danger?”
“For ‘Hu Lang’kanus. To stop him.”
ng Chao told the truth, “It’s not important for to collect the inheritance of the Holy Mountain. However, I can’t Let ‘Hu Lang’kanus obtain the inheritance of the Holy Mountain. At the very least, I can’t let him get all the inheritance of the Holy Mountain comfortably. This is very important to .”
“So, you’re really two flying insects?”
“Yes.”Ice storm said, “You’ve known him for a long ti, and you have a grudge with him. Do you want to kill him?”
“… in a sense, I’ve known him for a long ti, but I don’t think we have a grudge. I can only say that he’s like a stone that just happens to block the path that I’m advancing on, and he might break my wheels and bring my car into the ditch. The harder this stone is, the more troubleso it is for .”
ng Chao pondered for a mont before continuing, “I also know that with the strength of the two of us, it’s almost impossible for us to kill ‘Jackal’kanus. No matter how much you admire , it’s impossible for you to help carry out such a suicidal mission.”
“No.”
Ice storm shook his head and said resolutely, “I don’t admire you at all.”
“Is that so? That doesn’t matter. After all, I didn’t expect to really be able to get rid of this sinister and cunning corpse dog.”
ng Chao paused for a mont and seed to have made up his mind, “However, since the two supre experts of the Gold clan, the Horn of destruction and the violent blade, are both on the Holy Mountain now, the Jackal kanus shouldn’t have had the ti to fan the flas between them and trick them into mutually injuring each other so that they can benefit from it.
“Since we have the token of the platinum embrace in our hands, we have a chance to gain the absolute trust of the Horn of destruction.
“In that case, it will always be relatively easy for us to interfere in the gamble that will determine the future of Turan ze and create trouble for the jackal kanus as much as possible to weaken his strength.
“After all, with our unparalleled strength, even if we can’t accomplish anything, it’s still more than enough to ruin everything, right?”
