Facing Maxim who rushed over excitedly, Qin Ran frowned.
He stood up from the chair, waved his hand to the Yapai recorder, and walked straight out of the room.
The crow faction recorder was taken aback.
Celty, who was chewing on snacks, was even more confused.
And just when the two Oparists looked at each other, suddenly
boom!
Boom boom boom!
There were continuous explosions.
The two Oppists immediately rushed to the exterior.
…
Outskirts of Luldry.
The road leading to Thunder Fortress was cut off.
The fracture, which is about 5 meters wide and 3 meters deep, directly divides the entire flat road into two.
But compared with the potholes that appeared on the ground next to it, it really pales in comparison.
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 over.
Amid the pungent smell of blood, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere.
The corpses are like tattered rag dolls, being thrown around at will, which can be called corpses strewn all over the field.
Qin Ran's figure appeared next to these corpses.
He carefully inspected each corpse, searching for the potholes formed either by the huge force or by the explosion.
Then, he walked towards the biggest pothole.
Here, there are relatively familiar traces in his [Tracking] field of vision.
Aquatic!
In the huge impact, the remaining half footprints.
Looking at these half footprints, Kieran could completely imagine how Aqua Ape tried its best to resist the huge impact.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to step on the soft soil under the feet as if it was poured with concrete.
Unfortunately, even so, the water ape could not completely block the blow.
Qin Ran looked not far away.
There was a remnant of scarlet there.
"He was blown away by the impact!"
"Attacked in mid-air!"
"Although someone rescued him, he still suffered serious injuries!"
"The injury of the water ape made the helper furious, and he completely let go of his hands and feet, blasting potholes one after another in a short period of time."
"Fire ape?"
Qin Ran, who was guessing, walked back to the main road.
He looked at the smooth main road, and raised his hand to touch the almost smooth dirt cut.
Without needing any more guesswork, Kieran had already locked in on the candidate for this strike.
Sword Ape!
Apart from this, Qin Ran couldn't think of any other answers.
After the Ape School appeared, Qin Ran had a detailed understanding of the Ape School.
Especially Aqua, Fire and Sword Apes.
Therefore, when he saw the battlefield in front of him, Kieran had an answer almost instantly.
However, compared to this answer, Kieran cared more about other answers.
He walked quickly towards the further dense forest.
In the dense forest, he saw some extremely interesting footprints.
Almost without exception, they are footprints where the forefoot touches the ground, and where the thumb is, there is a deep indentation.
Such marks can only appear after standing on tiptoes, keeping the posture of bowing down, placing all the weight in front of the soles of the feet, and staying for a long time.
Moreover, the footprints of the water ape are also like this.
Obviously, the ape faction has been waiting here for a long time.
"A planned ambush!"
"But, it failed."
"That goal is..."
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes, and whispered to himself, the voice became softer and softer, even if he stood in front of him, he couldn't hear it.
At this time, Maxim, Celty, and the guards of Luldry who were also alarmed rushed here.
Mary, who took the lead, was taken aback when she saw the battlefield in front of her, and then immediately looked at Qin Ran.
After seeing Qin Ran nod his head slightly, the underage princess immediately signaled the guards to clean up the battlefield, while she walked towards Qin Ran quickly.
"Is that the target?"
Mary asked in a low voice.
"Other than that target, I can't think of who it is!"
"But if that's the case..."
"I'm going to rethink what exactly that person did to make the ape faction's highest combat power not yet present, so that they would act brazenly without hesitation."
Qin Ran replied.
"It's different from the plan."
Mary frowned slightly.
For the underage princess, any unplanned things make her feel anxious.
Her age dictated that she couldn't ignore it.
Similarly, in front of Qin Ran, she did not hide it.
"Um."
"But at least the thinking is right."
"I messed up the layout of the snake faction and humiliated the water apes of the ape faction!"
"Initially, we guessed that the two sides had a little hatred, and drawing both parties to Luldry would form a certain degree of restraint, but their target will always be me!"
"But now..."
"Their hatred is bigger than we imagined."
Qin Ran said in a half-joking tone.
Mary laughed too.
However, both of them knew it was a joke.
Especially Qin Ran.
Hatred is what makes you lose your mind.
But the people of the ape faction would not be so stupid as to hit a stone with a pebble if they wanted revenge, especially the water ape who could 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 School managed to set up such a trap that the Ape School believed in, but he knew what he should do next.
"Although it may not be possible 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.
It's just that what Qin Ran didn't expect was the search that he didn't hold much hope for.
It will actually be discovered.
…
A cloud of liquid stuck to the ground, moving swiftly and strangely.
It was almost impossible to find this mass of liquid in the sight of those present.
To some trained eyes, though, such fluids are too obvious.
Whoosh!
A palm-sized crossbow arrow suddenly appeared in the direction of the liquid, and the moment it made a sound, the arrow shot through the liquid.
puff!
Amid the sound of the metal arrow piercing through the flesh and blood, the mass of liquid rolled aside, and the figure of the water ape appeared from it.
At this moment, the water monkey looked a little embarrassed.
His pale blue robes were stained all over.
Blood dripped continuously from the shoulder pierced by the arrow.
But even so, the water ape is still indifferent.
"Tsk tsk, you actually left the queen by yourself 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 ear-piercing voice, a short man with a delicate hand crossbow tied to his left wrist came out of the shadows.
The other party was shirtless, with a lifelike pattern of a strange snake with eight heads and seven tails tattooed on his arm.
