Chapter 993: Chapter 38 Protector

Due to the ongoing demon rampage across the Northern Border, the two did not engage in prolonged battle.

Yan Yu took a whole night to carefully memorize all of Anna’s physical characteristics. By the next evening, the two of them secretly headed northward, leaving Amur City and flying towards the vast frozen tundra under the icy skies.

The land area of the Northern Border is immense, with many uninhabited regions. In order to completely cover their tracks, the pair avoided all towns and villages along the way and eventually arrived at a certain mountain range.

According to Anna, there were mines within this mountain range, hence a lot of mining tunnels were constructed. But later, as the surface mines were depleted and deeper mining was not cost-effective, they were completely abandoned.

At the entrance to the valley, there was a small mining town, but as the mine itself was abandoned, it too became desolate and has now completely fallen to ruins, earning it the name Ghost City.

Anna planned to set up a strategic deception here. She pulled a straw doll out of her bosom and placed it inside a building at the center of the town, then set up many traps in the surrounding area.

Watching her seriously arrange various measures, Yan Yu asked puzzledly:

“We have travelled all this way without being detected by anyone. How can you be sure that the intruders will definitely find this place?”

“It’s simple.” Anna gave a mysterious smile and whispered, “Precisely because we have concealed our tracks and are sure we haven’t been seen, if someone does find this place, they will surely have used methods of Mysticism.”

“Mysticism…” Yan Yu did not understand anything about Mysticism and guessed, “So are you using Mysticism to set up the bait?”

“Not exactly.” said Anna with a smile, “Kiss me, and I’ll tell you.”

Yan Yu had an expression of slight helplessness. It wasn’t that he absolutely needed to understand, but he knew if he said “then I don’t want to know” now, the golden retriever would definitely get angry and throw a tantrum.

She was going to begin Crossing Tribulation tonight, and a witch’s tribulation severely tests one’s mental state, so to not affect her mood, Yan Yu could only resolutely give her a kiss.

This wasn’t an ordinary kiss; this was a kiss for the peace between Lu Country and the Northern Border!

Having successfully gotten her wish, Anna cheerfully explained:

“It’s simple. In the realm of Mysticism, personal clothing worn over a long period has an extremely close connection with the owner’s body. So I left the clothes I wore for nine months here. If someone tries to locate me using divination or similar methods, they will likely end up here first.”

“The traps I’ve set up around here include some with strong lethal power and which are extremely troublesome to set, which will make them believe even more that this is the real location for my Crossing Tribulation. This is the first layer of deception.”

“When they exhaust all efforts to break through these deadly traps only to find my left behind clothes, they will immediately realize they’ve been duped, and then subconsciously believe that my real body isn’t here at all. This is the second layer of deception.”

“The mine we’re heading to is located right below this town. Its depth is over 700 meters, with extensive interconnected passageways, totaling at least 2 kilometers long. This is the third layer of deception.”

“If our enemies do manage to continuously break through these three layers of deception and finally reach my ritual site, then you will need to protect me.”

“Mm.” Yan Yu indicated he roughly understood, “So if I’m not mistaken, you did indeed use Mysticism to set up this bait.”

“Right.” Anna admitted frankly.

“But you just said you didn’t.” Yan Yu said.

“Otherwise, how would I have gotten you to kiss me?” Anna burst into laughter.

Her laughter abruptly stopped and was soon overpowered by an annoyed Yan Yu who pinned her down and fiercely scolded her.

“Hmph.” Half an hour later, Anna tied her golden hair back up and picked up the clothes from the ground, “They’re all sweaty and dirty now.”

“Throw them into your bait box,” Yan Yu suggested, “Just freshly scented, potent. What if the enemy’s tracking method is smell-related?”

“That would be disgusting.” Anna immediately tossed them into the box with disgust.

After setting up the remaining measures, the two flew away from the deserted town and headed straight into the mountains.

As Anna said, the mine entrance was extremely well-hidden. Upon entering, the path led downward, with both depth and length astonishing, making it the best place to avoid enemies and undergo Crossing Tribulation.

Without any embellishment, even if the enemy found the mine entrance right from the start, it would take several hours just to fully explore it.

In a certain room at the bottom of the mine, Anna set up the remaining measures, then began to take off her clothes.

If she kept her clothes on, when her body melted into a flesh ball later, the blood and flesh might stick to the clothes.

Yan Yu sat cross-legged by the side, leisurely watching her and finally cross-checking his memory data one more time.

Bust size… hip size… mhm, all exactly as I remembered.

Ha, my memory really is excellent!

“So, should I start now?” Anna placed a hand on her waist and looked at Yan Yu for a while before asking.

“No rush, adjust your mood a little.” Yan Yu said, “Cross the Tribulation in your best state.”

“I’m sure this is my best state right now.” Anna said, “If we wait any longer, I might start getting nervous.”

She sent a flying kiss to Yan Yu and then slowly sat down on the spot, hugged her legs, and gradually closed her eyes.

The room fell so silent that you could hear a pin drop. Yan Yu sat beside Anna, watching as she curled into a ball, her brilliant golden hair spreading over her pale back like a sunflower blooming with vigor.
