After a whole morning of climbing, Fang Ci and his companions finally reached the halfway point of the mountain. Looking up, the snow line in the mountainous area was clearly visible.

Although it was summer at the foot of the mountain, they both had to wear thick jackets as they climbed up the mountain. The trees around them gradually became sparse, and even the elves became rare.

Perhaps because it was noon, the sun was still glaring overhead, warming the exposed rocks under their feet, allowing the two men, who had been shivering with cold after walking in the forest for so long, to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Help!"

Fang Ci and the other man were just about to sit down to rest when a sharp cry for help suddenly came from the direction of the hillside.

"Let's go!" Fang Ci and Qi Shu looked at each other, hurriedly dropped their heavy backpacks and ran towards the source of the sound.

"Help~!"

On the hillside not far from Fang Ci and the others, looking at the Sonic Monster in front of her that seemed to be completely annoyed, Lana regretted deeply why she had shaken off her bodyguards and sneaked out.

His own Flamehorse had sprained its ankle because of his willfulness in insisting on riding it up the mountain, and now it has no ability to fight. Pogaman had just been knocked away by Sonic the Hedgehog in an attempt to protect him, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Looking at the Sonic Monster approaching and becoming hysterical because of being woken up by her, Lana couldn't help but feel a trace of despair in her heart.

Is my adventure going to end before it even begins?

"Zoroark, Wave of Evil!"

Looking at the Sonic Monster getting closer and closer, just as Lana closed her eyes in despair, a voice like that of a savior rang out, and a dark beam of light instantly knocked the Sonic Monster in front of her away.

"Are you okay?" Looking at the distraught black-haired girl on the hillside, Qishu hurried forward and helped her up.

"It's okay, thank you so much!" Looking at the exquisite face in front of her that was more dazzling than the sun, Lana couldn't help but blush and quickly broke free from Qishu's support, and bowed solemnly to Qishu and Fang Ci who was walking towards her.

"Little sister, what happened? Why are you alone in the mountain?" Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him who was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, Fang Ci tried to soften his tone.

"My bodyguards and I got separated, but I've already sent them the location, and they'll be coming to find me soon!" Looking at Fang Ci and Qi Shu, who both looked very good in front of her, Lana lied a little.

Anyway, judging by the time, the two bodyguards she had left behind will soon find her. Lana doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the beautiful young man and woman in front of her.

When they heard Lana mention bodyguard, Fang Ci and the others noticed that although the girl's clothes were already gray, they could still tell that the material was good if they looked closely, and there were no trademarks, so they thought they must have been custom-made.

"Thank you, brother and sister, for saving my life. My name is Lana. May I ask what your names are? When I return, I will let my father thank you."

"My name is Fang Ci, and the one next to me is Qi Shu."

When Qi Shu heard Fang Ci introduce himself, he immediately gave Lana a bright smile.

"Thanks are enough, it's just a small favor!" Before taking action, Fang Ci never thought about asking for any reward.

"How can this be possible? My brother and sister saved my life!" Hearing Fang Ci's refusal, Lana became anxious instead.

"Okay, let's talk about these things later. Do you need us to send you to meet your bodyguards now?" Seeing that Lana cared so much about this matter, Fang Ci no longer worried about it. Maybe this is the cultivation of wealthy people.

"No need, I've already sent them the location, they will come to pick me up soon!" Lana was still very confident in the speed of her bodyguards.

"Well, we'll stay here with you and wait for them to come!" As the saying goes, if you send a Buddha away, you will eventually get there. It's too dangerous for a little girl like Lana to be alone in this wilderness.

"Well, thank you, brother and sister!" Seeing this, Lana did not refuse. After all, after what happened just now, he was really afraid of being alone now.

"Oh, right, Pogamon!" After calming down, Lana immediately thought of Pogamon who was blown away by Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Poga~" A faint cry was heard at this time, and Zoroark, who had just chased out, came back holding a wounded Pogaman.

"Pogaman~" Seeing this, Lana immediately rushed up excitedly and hugged Pogaman in her arms.

"Poga~" Seeing that Lana was fine, Pogaman excitedly lay in Lana's arms and burst into tears.

"Although I understand how you two feel right now, it's better to treat Pogaman's injuries as soon as possible!" Seeing this, Fang Ci on the side took out bandages and medicine from his backpack.

"Thank you, Fang Ci!" Lana did not dare to delay and quickly handed Pogaman to Fang Ci's arms.

Watching Fang Ci skillfully applying medicine and bandaging Pogaman, a hint of longing flashed in Lana's big eyes.

"Brother Fang Ci is so skilled, you must have been traveling for a long time!"

"No, Qishu and I just officially started our journey a week ago. I became skilled in bandaging because I have a sister who is a doctor. I learned it naturally from her." Hearing this, Fang Ci said with a little embarrassment.

"Oh, that's great. I also want to go out and travel!" Lana said with longing.

"By the way, Lana, why did you come to Tianguan Mountain alone?" Qishu looked at Lana's gray little face and couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him most.

No matter how you look at it, it's really strange for a girl of 11 or 12 to go up to Cheonguan Mountain alone.

"Ah, haha~" Hearing this, Lana smiled uncomfortably.

"I'm sorry, brother and sister, I just lied to you. In fact, I didn't get separated from the bodyguards. Instead, I sneaked into the mountains when they weren't paying attention." Since she couldn't think of any reason, Lana could only bow to the two of them again and tell the truth.

"In fact, there has always been a traditional coming-of-age ceremony in our family, which is to go to the top of Tianguan Mountain alone to find a special ore to make your own family emblem."

"Since I was ten years old, I have always wanted to travel and finally complete my coming-of-age ceremony. As a result, my parents always used the excuse that I was too young to stop me from traveling. I often quarreled with my parents because of this at home. A few days ago, my father happened to have work in EMI City, so I pestered him to bring me along. Then, while he was talking about something, I shook off the bodyguards and ran up the mountain alone."

"Originally, I thought that relying on the Flamehorse and Pogo sticks that I grew up with, I should be able to climb the mountain easily. As a result, Flamehorse sprained his foot because of my willfulness, and Pogo stick was injured by the Sonic Boom that I woke up carelessly..."

At this point, Lana's face was full of self-blame and her voice began to choke.

"It's okay, we'll apologize to them properly when we get back." Seeing this, Qishu hugged Lana's thin body in his arms with heartache.

"I have decided that after this time I will become stronger with Pogamon and challenge gyms and alliances together. After we become strong, we will come to Tianguan Mountain to complete my coming-of-age ceremony." After this incident, Lana deeply felt her own shortcomings. She is still too weak now. Even if she is lucky enough to climb to the top of the mountain and get the ore, she is not truly strong.

Only when you have the strength and mind to match it, can you truly grow.
