Chapter 1235 Unexpected Ambush

Facing Maxim who came running excitedly, Qin Ran frowned.

He stood up from the chair, waved to the Crow Faction recorder, and walked straight out of the room.

The crow sect recorder was stunned.

Celty, who was chewing snacks, was even more confused.

And just when the two Crow Faction members looked at each other, suddenly——

boom!

Boom boom boom!

There were continuous explosions.

The two Oppists immediately rushed to the exterior.

…

The outskirts of Rouldrie.

The road leading to Thunder Fortress was cut off.

The fracture is about 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep, directly dividing the entire flat road into two.

But this really pales in comparison to the potholes that appeared on the ground next to it.

Potholes with a diameter of more than 10 meters can be seen everywhere.

The largest one has a diameter of 30 meters and a depth of more than 10 meters.

The black scorched earth was exposed, and the scarlet color spread all around.

In the pungent smell of blood, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere that caught the eye.

The corpses were thrown around like tattered rag dolls. It could be said that corpses were everywhere.

Qin Ran's figure appeared next to these corpses.

He carefully inspected each corpse, exploring the holes formed either by the huge force or the explosion.

Then, he walked towards the biggest pothole.

Here, in his [Tracking] vision, there are relatively familiar traces.

Water ape!

In the huge impact, the remaining half footprints.

Looking at the half-footprint, Qin Ran could completely imagine how the water monkey tried his best to resist the huge impact.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to trample the soft soil under your feet into a solid state as if it were poured with concrete.

Unfortunately, even so, the water ape could not completely block the blow.

Kieran's eyes looked not far away.

There is a remnant of scarlet there.

"He was knocked away by the force of the impact!"

"We were attacked in mid-air!"

"Although there were rescuers, he was still seriously injured!"

"The aquatic monkey's injury made the rescuer furious, and he began to let go of his hands and feet completely, exploding one crater after another in a short period of time."

"Fire ape?"

Kieran, who was guessing, walked back to the main road.

He looked at the smoothly cut main road and raised his hand to touch the almost smooth cut in the soil.

Without any further guessing, Kieran identified the candidate for this attack.

Sword ape!

Apart from that, Qin Ran couldn't think of any other answer.

After the Ape Sect appeared, Qin Ran had a detailed understanding of the Ape Sect.

Especially water apes, fire apes and sword apes.

Therefore, when he saw the battlefield in front of him, Qin Ran had the answer almost instantly.

However, compared to this answer, Kieran cared more about other answers.

He walked quickly towards the dense forest further away.

In the dense forest, he saw some extremely interesting footprints.

Almost without exception, there are footprints where the forefoot touches the ground, and there is a deep indentation where the thumb is.

Such marks will only appear after standing on tiptoes, keeping a bent posture, placing all the weight in front of the soles of the feet, and staying there for a long time.

Moreover, the footprints of aquatic monkeys are also like this.

Obviously, the Ape Sect has been waiting here for a long time.

"Planned ambush!"

"But, it failed."

"That goal is..."

Qin Ran narrowed his eyes and whispered softly to himself. His voice became softer and softer, and he couldn't hear it even if he stood in front of him.

At this time, Maxim, Celty, and the Luldri guards who were also alerted arrived here.

Mary, who was leading the way, was stunned for a moment when she saw the battlefield in front of her, and then immediately looked at Kieran.

After seeing Qin Ran slightly nodding, the underage princess immediately signaled the guards to clean the battlefield, while she quickly walked towards Qin Ran.

"Is that the goal?"

Mary asked in a low voice.

"I can't think of anyone other than that target!"

"But if that's the case..."

"I'm going to reconsider what that person did to make the Ape Sect's highest combat power come to the scene, and then take action without hesitation."

Qin Ran answered.

"It's different from what was planned."

Mary frowned slightly.

For the underage princess, anything unplanned makes her feel anxious.

Her age determines that she cannot ignore these.

Similarly, she did not hide it in front of Kieran.

"Um."

"But at least the idea is right."

"I disrupted the Snake Sect's layout and humiliated the Ape Sect's Water Ape!"

"Initially, we guessed that there was some hatred between the two sides. Luring both sides to Luldrie would create a certain degree of restraint, but their target will always be me!"

"But now..."

"Their hatred is greater than we imagined."

Kieran said in a half-joking tone.

Mary laughed too.

However, both of them knew it was a joke.

Especially Kieran.

Hatred will make you lose your mind.

But the people of the Ape Sect who want revenge will not be stupid enough to hit the stone with an egg, especially the water ape who can endure his humiliation and retreat temporarily.

Qin Ran did not believe that the other party would be so irrational.

unless……

"Did you step into the trap set by the Snake Sect?"

After Qin Ran sighed, he looked at Mary.

He didn't know how the Snake Faction was able to lay such a trap that the Ape Faction was convinced of, but he knew what he should do next.

"Although we may not be able to find any valuable clues, if possible, please ask the guards to expand the scope of the search."

"OK."

The underage princess nodded and began to order the guards.

But what Qin Ran didn't expect was the search that he didn't have much hope for.

It will actually be discovered.

…

A ball of liquid sticks to the ground, moving forward quickly and strangely.

It was almost impossible to spot this mass of liquid in the sight of those present.

However, to some trained eyes, such liquid is too obvious.

Whoosh!

A palm-sized crossbow arrow suddenly appeared in the direction of the liquid. The moment it made a sound, the arrow penetrated the liquid.

puff!

Amidst the sound of metal arrows penetrating flesh and blood, the liquid rolled aside, and the figure of the aquatic ape appeared from it.

At this moment, the water monkey looked a little embarrassed.

His pale blue robes were stained all over.

Blood dripped from the shoulder pierced by the arrow.

But even so, Water Monkey still looked indifferent.

"Tsk, tsk, you actually stayed behind and sacrificed yourself for others?"

"I was so touched."

"I'm so moved that I wish I could tear you apart right away!"

Amidst the sharp and piercing sound, a short man with a delicate hand crossbow tied to his left wrist walked out of the shadows.

The other person was shirtless, with a lifelike pattern of a strange snake with eight heads and seven tails tattooed on his arm.
