Chapter 1241: If You Fail, You Fail
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
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 Meng Chaoâs 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. âHow do you know?â
âDidnât Platinum Embrace say before he died that âJackalâ Kanus used a map of the Holy Mountain that came 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?â
Meng Chao continued to speak calmly, âI think that even if âhorn of destructionâand âBlade of Furyâare not intelligent and meticulous wise men, a fake map of the Holy Mountain canât fool them, right?
âHereâs the problem. As far as I know, canus the jackal has been struggling to survive in Tulanze. Iâve never heard that he once snuck into the land of holy light to steal some priceless map.
âOn the other hand, your father, Iâve heard from you that he stole an important item from your mother. After he returned to Tulanze, he became one of Canusâright-hand men.
âCome to think of it, isnât this strange? Your father is from the leopard clan. How could he gain the trust of an ambitious, lurking, sensitive, and suspicious schemer so easily?
âUnless, your father and âJackalâKanus are after the same thing â the secret in the depths of the sacred mountain.â
âThatâs it?â
Ice Storm was noncommittal, but he still frowned deeply. âBased on such a simple and crude speculation, you think I have the map of the sacred mountain? Thatâs too much!â
âThatâs just a reason.â
Meng Chao continued, âWhat I canât figure out is that youâve always been by my side. Even if the great horn army suddenly collapsed and put us all in danger, you never left me. Why is that?â
âThis ââ
Ice Storm was stunned for a moment and immediately said, âDidnât we make this clear from the beginning? We need to rely on each otherâs 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.
âI donât know what youâre going to Red Gold City for, but Iâm going to find my father.
âEver since my mother died, my father has been my only family in this world. He left without saying goodbye and abandoned me and my mother. After so many years, he should at least give me an explanation!â
âIs it that simple?â
Meng Chao smiled and said slowly, âThe mother who raised you alone is a witch. If Iâm not wrong, in addition to the identity of the âsnow leopard female warriorâ, you should also be a witch, at least half a witch, right?â?
âI donât 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 cemetery, dissect the internal organs, and sew up the messy organs to give evil life.
âHowever, 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.
âFor example, âWhy did you abandon me back then, Dad?âthis is a trivial matter that only ordinary people should be concerned about. I donât believe it. This is what drove you to come to Tulanze and lay dormant in the arena for two years. Now, you are sparing no effort and risking your life to find your fatherâs motive.
âAlright. Even if you were really traveling with me in order to find your father in the beginning, weâre not far away from Crimson Gold city now, and Iâve caused a great deal of trouble by rescuing the ancient Dream Saintess. I might even become enemies with âJackalâkanus.
âIf your purpose is really that simple, you should leave now and part ways with me to find your father alone.
âWhatâs the point of traveling with me, a dangerous person who has caused so much trouble?
âHowever, I observed your attitude carefully and found that although you were curious about my background and worried about the terror of âJackalâkanus, you never thought of parting with me. 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 didnât back down. Whatâs the reason for that?
âOne possibility is that youâve been deeply impressed by my charisma. Without realizing it, youâve made up your mind to sacrifice your life for my career.
âBut another possibility is that our destination has been the same from the very beginning. That is, red gold city, or more precisely, the holy mountain not far northwest of Red Gold City!
âI think that you are not necessarily lying when you say that you are going to find your father.
âBut finding your father is not your ultimate goal. It is just a means to achieve your goal.
âArenât 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 fragment of the map of the Holy Mountain?
âThatâs 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 fragment of the map of the sacred mountain.
âAs long as you can piece together the fragment of the map of the Sacred Mountain in your fatherâs hands and the fragment 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?â
Icestorm was silent for a long time.
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.
âHow did you know that my father and I only have a portion of the map fragment in Our Hands?âShe asked gloomily.
âItâs very simple.â
Meng Chao shrugged and said, âIf your father had all the maps of the sacred mountain, with the ambition of âJackalâKanus 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 mountainâs temple for himself. Why would he have to be humble in front of Lion King and Tiger King?
âItâs probably because your father only stole part of the map fragment 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?
âAs for why you only have part of the map fragment of the Sacred Mountain in your hands, isnât that even simpler? If you had a complete map, why would you need to find your father? Just go deep into the Sacred Mountain!â
Meng Chao said it as if it was a matter of course.
Icestorm was stunned.
âJust this, just based on this, you can conclude ââ
âItâs not a conclusion. Iâve only walked all the way here. There are some suspicious points that I have to spit out and discuss with you. So what if Iâm wrong? I have nothing to do, and itâs free to make a wrong guess!â
âThis ââ
âThereâs no need to âthis and thatâ. Pretend that Iâve exposed your secret and that youâve suffered a great loss. Even the sky is about to collapse.
âTo be honest, perhaps the sacred mountain temple really does contain an inheritance from the starry sky, but I really donât take it to heart.
âNo matter how powerful an inheritance is, it must be able to be digested, absorbed, and integrated. It Wonât be easy to completely change or even control everything by relying on the so-called âSacred Mountain Inheritanceâ.â
After saying these words, Meng Chao looked at icestorm with a calm expression.
He also accepted the other partyâs gaze that was as sharp as an ice blade as it repeatedly scratched his face.
âWhat exactly do you want?â
Icestorm stared at Meng Chao for a long time, but he still couldnât figure it out, âIf you say that youâre 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?â
âFor âHu Langâkanus. To stop him.â
Meng Chao told the truth, âItâs not important for me to collect the inheritance of the Holy Mountain. However, I canât Let âHu Langâkanus obtain the inheritance of the Holy Mountain. At the very least, I canât let him get all the inheritance of the Holy Mountain comfortably. This is very important to me.â
âSo, youâre really two flying insects?â
âYes.âIce storm said, âYouâve known him for a long time, and you have a grudge with him. Do you want to kill him?â
â⊠in a sense, Iâve known him for a long time, but I donât think we have a grudge. I can only say that heâs like a stone that just happens to block the path that Iâm advancing on, and he might break my wheels and bring my car into the ditch. The harder this stone is, the more troublesome it is for me.â
Meng Chao pondered for a moment before continuing, âI also know that with the strength of the two of us, itâs almost impossible for us to kill âJackalâkanus. No matter how much you admire me, itâs impossible for you to help me carry out such a suicidal mission.â
âNo.â
Ice storm shook his head and said resolutely, âI donât admire you at all.â
âIs that so? That doesnât matter. After all, I didnât expect to really be able to get rid of this sinister and cunning corpse dog.â
Meng Chao paused for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind, âHowever, since the two supreme experts of the Gold clan, the Horn of destruction and the violent blade, are both on the Holy Mountain now, the Jackal kanus shouldnât have had the time to fan the flames between them and trick them into mutually injuring each other so that they can benefit from it.
âSince 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.
âIn 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.
âAfter all, with our unparalleled strength, even if we canât accomplish anything, itâs still more than enough to ruin everything, right?â
