‘”Crash ~” In the fierce cold wind, the sound of crushing rocks attracted everyone’s attention. The moment Qin Lun turned around, he saw a figure tumbling towards the abyss beneath his feet.

‘”Save me” The figure desperately grabbed the rock beside him with both hands. However, after years of polishing with snow and ice, the rock on the cliff was not only hard like iron, but also smooth like a mirror, making all his struggles seem so pale and powerless.

“Bang!” After falling dozens of meters, the figure crashed into a protruding granite on the cliff. The fierce impact caused him to spit out an arrow of blood. The cry for help was also swallowed back, and soon disappeared into the snowstorm of the abyss.

“Joka … this idiot!” Stark suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart and slapped the stone wall beside him fiercely, but he didn’t dare to shout loudly.

“Apostle Joka 54012 is dead. The fortress team has lost one member!” The notification from the Apostle Soul Seal caused everyone to feel suffocating fear. The person who had just fallen was an elementary apostle from a fortress.

Qin Lun looked at his feet calmly and his face twitched slightly. Their current location was the cliffs of the Alamir Mountains, thousands of metres above. This place was completely different from the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain, adjacent to the Steam Lake.

The Alamir Mountain Range was not the tallest and largest mountain range in the southern part of the Ferren Continent, but it was definitely one of the most dangerous places to die. Unlike those inland mountains, the Alamir Mountain Range, which borders the Steam Lake, has little geographic or commercial value. It is generally over a thousand meters tall and lacks gentle slopes, and even the value for money of opening mines is extremely low.

Apart from the Sanata Dwarves who liked to build cities in the mountainside during the ancient times, this place was basically a forbidden area for life. Even magical beasts and birds were unwilling to stay here any longer. Most of the mountain peaks were covered in snow all year round. The warm ocean monsoon from the Steam Lake had reached a height of more than a thousand meters. Instead, it had turned into a violent snowstorm, polishing the eastern side of the mountain range like a crystal wall.

Because the Alamir Mountains were uninhabited, the team basically couldn’t find a suitable path, so they could only rely on Elistine, who had turned into a giant eagle, to explore the path. Meanwhile, Kelly, who possessed the Dou Qi Light Wings, and Phillip, a Second Grade mage who could fly for a short while, were taking turns to open up the path ahead, avoiding letting the team step on the ice holes that were hard on the surface and empty inside.

This was also the main reason why the unlucky guy named Joka had no one to help him in the end. The road under Qin Lun and the others’ feet was a natural “trestle road” that was about half a foot wide. Not only did they need to walk close to the mirror-smooth cliffs, but they also needed to climb on and off. Some sections of the road needed to be climbed by weapons, and the most dangerous places had to be carried by Elistine or Kelly.

Of course, no one had ever thought that an agile apostle would fall off a cliff and die before Joka.

“Stark, would you like Lord Kelly or Philip to come back alone?” Robin was silent for a while before finally turning to ask Stark.

‘”No need! The two of them are in a much more dangerous situation than we are. Moreover, at this time, not to mention Dou Qi and magic power, even their minds have been consumed greatly. The two of them take turns exploring the road and can take care of each other. We can’t add any more burdens to them.”

Stark took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. He said in a deep voice, “Those who fall can only blame themselves for being careless. We are professional apostles, not trash who need a babysitter.”

Robin looked at the big guy with admiration. He didn’t propose to let Kelly and Kelly turn around. He only thought for a moment and whispered, “We’re fine, but the two Elf Princes can’t be in trouble. How about this, you follow Ferral and I’ll watch Milleras.”

“Alright!” Stark’s eyes flashed with a glimmer of light as he nodded his head. Although the harsh environment of the Alamir Mountains was somewhat unexpected, it did not stop him from admiring Robin.

This beautiful Guild Leader was indeed very capable. At the very least, she was able to reach this place because of Robin’s deceptive plan. However, the more he realized the importance of Ferrari’s storyline identity. Without Qin Lun, even if the fortress team joined the storyline mission, they would probably have no choice but to obey.

Due to an unexpected incident, the atmosphere became somewhat dull after the team set off again, but everyone’s attention became more and more focused. No one wants to fall down the cliff and die in disgrace.

After more than an hour, they finally climbed the top of the mountain along the “trestle road”.

“I’m finally here!” The giant eagle retracted its wings in the sky, and Elistine landed beside Qin Lun in human form. There was an unconcealable exhaustion on his face.

“Filar, Elistine, do you see the green in the distance?” Milleras leaned over and pointed at the giant forest far away from the mountain range. “That must be the Mill Forest of Ilfaran. We’re almost there!”

A silver light flashed across Qin Lun’s eyes as he looked into the distance. The shape of the Mill Forest resembles the Arabic numeral “7”. The north is east-west, and the east is north-south. The two are at an angle of 90 degrees. It was less than twenty kilometers west of the Alamir Mountain Range, and it was already visible from the top of the mountain peak.

“Haha, we haven’t descended the mountain yet! Although the west side of the mountain peak is slightly gentler than the cliff in the east, once we fall, it will also be a ball of minced meat.” Qin Lun smiled and looked at the steep slope below the mountain peak.

The western slope of the mountain faced inland Karinshan, and without the steam of the Lake of Steam, the wind and snow became much lighter. More than a hundred meters below the top of the mountain, dark brown rocks could be seen, and black soil and green vegetation could even be seen in some places.

However, as Qin Lun said, this place was also not easy to walk. Although there were no ice crystal cliffs to the east and the slope had slowed down a lot, there were rocks everywhere, and the path down the mountain was still extremely rugged.

“At the very least, it won’t be like before, causing people to not even have time to rescue them!” Milleras sighed sadly. He had also seen Joka when she had fallen. Although he wasn’t familiar with this mercenary group member, the loss of a companion still made the Prince feel a little sad.

“Let’s go, Guild Leader Robin is urging us!” Qin Lun smiled and patted his shoulder, taking the lead to walk down the mountain.

…

“I made a mistake. It’s not that hard to cross the Alamir Mountain Range. Looks like we have to spend the night at the middle of the mountain!” Looking at the setting sun, Robin stroked his hair and said helplessly.

“That’s right. If an ordinary person were to climb such a mountain, even a rock climber would need a few days. We would already be able to count on it very quickly.” Kelly rubbed her nose, which was slightly uncomfortable due to the cold wind, and praised everyone.

“Hehe, the key is that the few plot elves didn’t cause us much trouble. The two elf princes weren’t too spoiled. They managed to survive the harsh environment that our apostles found unbearable!” The female elf in the Lost Party with the Beast King Hunting Bow on her back chuckled.

“Elf Prince?” Kelly frowned slightly as her eyes flickered as she looked at Milleras and the others.

“Kelly, what’s wrong?” Robin keenly sensed Kelly’s gaze and quietly asked.

“Nothing!” Kelly retracted her gaze and shook her head. “I always felt that the Moon Elf Prince Ferrari was a little familiar!”

“You still think he’s an apostle?” Robin’s eyes lit up and he asked softly, “Do you want to try again?”

“There’s no need. Now that the two teams are working together, they have even shared the Ancient Road (fake). There’s no need for them to lose face over this.” “Whether that guy is an apostle or not, he won’t be able to hide it for long,” Kelly said indifferently. “Even if he is an apostle, he can only give them a little more control over the plot. Forget about him, the distribution of benefits between us apostles will ultimately be determined by strength.”

“Sister Kelly, you’re still so domineering!” Robin was stunned and nodded with a smile.

“Be serious, you are also the leader of a group now!” Kelly rolled her eyes helplessly.

‘”Ah ~ ~ ~” Just as Kelly and Robin were communicating, a cry of alarm suddenly came from the group. A figure staggered towards the cliff.

“Which idiot is it again!” Kelly shouted in shock and anger. Her Dou Qi wings flashed behind her and she snatched out the team to save her.

The hillside to the west of the mountain was not so steep, and they were now lofty, and the hillside was not so thick with snow, and there was no need for her and Philip to scout the way.

However, she was a little far away, and before she could make a move, one person was snatched from the team. The man removed the longbow from his back like a flowing cloud and put on a long arrow made of fine iron with a rope.

“Zheng!” A bright white light lingered in everyone’s eyes for a long time. When everyone regained their senses, the unlucky man who had almost fallen off the cliff had already nimbly grabbed the long arrow inserted beside him and was pulled back.

“Filar, thank you!” Milleras nodded gratefully at Qin Lun. The one who fell was one of the four remaining elven rangers beside him.

“Idiot, why don’t you thank Lord Filar?” Several of his companions scolded the unlucky man with lingering fear. However, the elven ranger who had fallen just now frowned and bent down to explore the ground.

“Did you drop something?” Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat. He took two steps forward and asked with a smile.

“No, Your Highness Ferrari, I seem to have just …” Hearing Qin Lun’s question, the Fairy Ranger’s face finally turned red. His expression was still a little confused, but in the end, he shook his head. “Forget it, it’s nothing!”

“I can’t let it go!” A voice suddenly interrupted the two of them and said in an exceptionally solemn tone, “It didn’t seem like an accident that you fell just now. Look …”

Qin Lun turned around and discovered that the person who spoke was actually the Thief of the Fortress Party, Long Er. Everyone couldn’t help but be slightly stunned when they looked in the direction Longer was pointing at. The place was ordinary, with neither abrupt rocks nor slippery soil.

However, before the crowd could ask any questions, Long Er took two steps forward and squatted down with his palm carefully. Soon, a tiny crack appeared in front of everyone.
