"Who is there?"
A person walked out in front of them. A bandit stood on a high platform. He looked around but didn't see a single person.
Luo Chen smiled calmly, as if a dark shadow had flashed past him, or as if a scythe had slashed across his neck.
After Luo Chen landed again, the human head flew into the sky.
Fortunately, Luo Chen acted quickly, and the other party did not notice his movements at all.
After walking along the winding path, I saw Gollum talking to two bandit leaders.
Luo Chen stepped forward: "It seems our game is over!"
Coming to his senses, Gurum glared angrily at Luo Chen: "I considered you my friend, but I never expected you to be following me!"
"Why not?"
Luo Chen's voice carried a hint of anger, and was as sharp as a vulture's: "Tell the truth, and perhaps you'll save your life!"
Gorum laughed smugly, taking two steps back: "But do you think you can still pose a threat to me now?"
Before he could finish speaking, the two leaders of the thieves behind him took a step forward.
The lightning mage and the fire mage stood in front of Luo Chen.
"Boss, don't worry! Leave this kid to us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a raging fire burst into flames in the sky, accompanied by a trace of lightning.
With a loud bang, a bolt of lightning struck in front of Luo Chen. Luo Chen took a step back, but unexpectedly, the flames that struck the ground quickly followed him.
Damn, this even has a tracking system? Is it really necessary to be this high-tech?
The Heaven-Destroying Sword instantly appeared in Luo Chen's hand.
Chapter 256 The Place of the End
Seeing the flames on the ground extending towards the two of them, Luo Chen swung the Heaven-Destroying Sword.
The flames subsided at this moment, and Luo Chen naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass by, quickly casting a fireball spell.
"Haha, kid, you think you can hurt me with fire magic? Wishful thinking!"
One of the bandit leaders stepped forward, his entire body transforming into flames. The fireball that had been falling into the dust was completely consumed by his body.
"See that? This is my magic—a powerful magic that merges my fire servants with myself!"
Suddenly, the bandit leader, who was speaking, opened his eyes wide.
An incredibly hot impact shattered his protective magic and scattered wildly in all directions.
"This...you, how is this possible!"
The flames shot directly towards the top of the cave!
The lightning mage took two steps back: "This power is truly terrifying!"
Luo Chen looked to the other side: "It's your turn!"
The leader of the lightning magic broke out in a cold sweat: "Don't be so arrogant!"
After saying that, the lightning in his hand suddenly turned into the shape of an axe, and he rushed towards Luo Chen. It must have been a coincidence, it must have been a coincidence.
The lightning mage leaped high into the air and swung his axe down at Luo Chen. Luo Chen didn't dodge; instead, he raised his Heaven-Destroying Sword to meet the attack.
The lightning mage sneered inwardly: "Haha, how foolish! Seeing my lightning magic, they actually dared to use this metal to block it!"
Lightning bolts shot rapidly out of Luo Chen's hand, and suddenly a thick earthen wall appeared on the Heaven-Destroying Sword, which quickly spread towards Luo Chen's body.
"Damn it!"
Since ancient times, the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—have interacted and restrained each other.
"So you're a mage specializing in both fire and earth elements, but with this kind of training, your abilities can't be that powerful, can they?"
The power of the lightning directly shattered Luo Chen's earthen wall. Luo Chen met the attack head-on, swinging his sword. The sand and soil simultaneously met the lightning and dodged it, the lightning being reflected back.
The lightning mage watched as the lightning struck him directly.
"Haha, it seems you really don't know that lightning mages can directly absorb those powers from the natural elements?"
However, the other party did not expect that Luo Chen would actually laugh, and the laugh was somewhat frightening.
"Hey, did you know that water and lightning can be combined to create even more powerful magic!"
"What...what do you mean?"
At that moment, a heavy rain began to fall from the sky, spreading across the entire ground.
This is a cave, how could this be?
"Three, a three-elemental mage!"
The lightning mage was completely panicked. What he had just witnessed was rain gathered from the river inside the cave.
"what!"
The lightning mage suddenly shouted that just now, the water droplet had merged with the lightning, and the mage's body was like a container. No matter how strong the lightning mage was, he could not absorb the magical power he could use, leaving fifty times the power of the lightning.
A charred corpse fell to the ground, emitting the aroma of meat.
Luo Chen looked at Gurum to the side: "Now you can say it, right?"
Gorum was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I told you, that woman's name is Kalia, and she seems to be full of hatred for Mercer. Oh, and during the conversation, someone mentioned the Place of the End. That's all I know, please forgive me!"
Seeing that he had lowered his head, Luo Chen turned around, intending to leave the place. Just then, Gulum opened his eyes, pulled out a short dagger from his body, and rushed forward quickly.
Trying to ambush from behind? With a flick of Luo Chen's finger, countless ice spikes flew towards Gurum.
Gurum collapsed to the ground, his entire body pierced by ice spikes. Luo Chen walked over and searched his body for some soul stones. Naturally, Luo Chen didn't stand on ceremony and took all the soul stones, big and small.
"Since you brought this to me yourself, I won't stand on ceremony and accept it!"
Stepping out of the desolate cave, a chill returned from beneath Luo Chen's feet. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the cave's exit led directly to the frozen lake.
Looking around, Luo Chen noticed a group of horses left there by someone. He placed some gold coins on the ground and mounted one of the horses.

Within Valley Rift City, the Thieves' Guild.
Luo Chen looked at Mercer as he emerged and recounted everything he had discovered on Gorum, omitting, of course, the details of Gorum itself.
After listening to Luo Chen's report, Mercer fell silent and pulled a book out of the table.
Luo Chen opened the book and started reading. This woman named Kalia seemed to be an enemy of the Thieves' Guild. Because she killed the former president of the Thieves' Guild, Mercer had the opportunity to take over.
“Since Gurum says she’s at the End, then I’ll take you there with me to deal with this traitor and avenge the former chairman!”

Luo Chen nodded, and Brinjov came out and handed Luo Chen a set of clothes.
"This is a mid-level spell robe from the Thieves Guild; it will significantly boost your skills."
Luo Chen checked himself and discovered that after putting on the clothes, his attribute points had increased from five to seven.
"Thank you!"
Luo Chen said calmly, and Brinchov, who already knew his personality, didn't say anything more.
"Please be extra careful in other areas as well!"
Brinchov seemed to be implying something, but Luo Chen didn't take it to heart at all.
The two hired a carriage and went directly to the vicinity of the place of the end.
On the road, Luo Chen asked Mercer beside him, "Um, do you know what kind of person Kalia is?"
Mercer's expression turned cold: "I've only met her once, but I've heard she's a top-tier archer. You should know how important archers are in this empire, right?"
Luo Chen nodded.
The two climbed the mountain, where a flag was hung high: Snow-Covered Holy Land.
Mercer looked at Luo Chen and said calmly, "The place of end is at the very bottom of this place, where many people rest in peace, so we should try not to disturb our ancestors!"
Chapter 257 Adventure in Whiterun
Whether what he said was true or just a way to delay Luo Chen, it doesn't matter.
However, Luo Chen also respected his feelings for his senior.
To Luo Chen's surprise, he actually possessed the key to the sacred ground beneath Whiterun.
After opening the door, it was still a cave, as if the people in this world had an almost obsessive love for caves.
Mercer pulled the ring: "Gallus was the only master in the Thieves Guild, that was a long, long time ago, and we are all proud of him. So, we must get rid of that despicable woman!"
Luo Chen nodded: "Don't worry, Guild Master, I won't hold back just because the other party is a woman!"
Mercer chuckled. Inside the room were various sizes of red and blue potions, as well as several bottles of potions representing stamina.
"President '767,' please entrust all these things to me for safekeeping!"
Luo Chen took out a large cloth and put all the medicine on it.
"Let's go!"
From a distance, the passageway appeared to be filled with wooden figures. Upon closer inspection, however, Luo Chen discovered that they were all dead corpses, but they were now moving about.
"He shouldn't be completely dead yet," Mercer turned his head and made a shushing gesture towards Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded, half-squatted on the ground, and activated stealth mode.
As the two passed a standing corpse, the corpse looked towards where Luo Chen and Mo Se were. Mo Se was not afraid and squatted down without moving. The corpse then turned its head back.
Luo Chen took a step forward, and out of nowhere, that damned stone made a cracking sound in the vast tomb.
"Damn it," Luo Chen cried out in his heart. Those undead monsters were like wolves that hadn't eaten in a long time.
"profound!"
One after another, ghouls and monsters rushed towards Luo Chen. Luo Chen thought to himself that no matter what, he had to be wary of the people around him.
So he quickly took a step back, and Mercer behind him flashed and appeared in front of Luo Chen. In his hands, an air shield appeared. The undead monster struck the air shield in his hands, but was instead bounced back.
The entire ghoul quickly took two steps back. Since you're willing to play by yourself, Luo Chen was naturally happy to be a spectator.
With each strike of Mercer's blade, a flame ignited as it sliced through the ghoul's body, instantly engulfing it.
What Luo Chen had to do was to throw a bottle of potion to the corpse demon in front of him from time to time.
After drinking it, Mercer felt full of energy. However, this Luo Chen had a good mind and was actually plotting against him.
However, even if he doesn't scheme against me today, nothing good will come of it.
After clearing away the ghouls, they found a wall in the second room. Luo Chen looked around but couldn't find where the mechanism was hidden.
Mercer, on the other hand, pulled the ring on the right side of the stone. After the ring was pulled, dozens of holes appeared in the stone wall next to him, and hundreds of short swords flew out from them.
Luo Chen produced the Heaven-Destroying Sword and quickly knocked down all the dart-like objects.
But at that moment, the gate was lowered. Mercer knew that these darts posed no threat to Luo Chen, so he rushed in alone.
After he rushed in, Luo Chen opened his eyes and unleashed a sword aura that sent all the hidden weapons flying back at the same time. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he lightly leaped into the room.
"Good boy!"
Mercer couldn't help but shout out for Luo Chen, who felt a little embarrassed and subconsciously scratched his head.
"You're too kind, President. Aren't you much stronger than me?"
Behind the gate was an endless dark passage, and a thin mist gradually spread out.
"Damn this thick fog, I can barely see where I'm going!"
Luo Chen looked at the changes around him and said, "President, I can see the road ahead clearly!"
Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Mo Se said calmly, "You can lead the way. From now on, we should try not to disturb our ancestors. Otherwise, it will feel strange to think that they were once our own people."
Luo Chen gave a faint "hmm." After walking through the passage, they entered a vast hall. Countless corpses hovered high in the sky, and when the wind blew across them, it seemed as if the next body would fall.
"President, we need to be careful on the road ahead. Those corpses seem to be connected to some kind of mechanism."
