Chapter 398 The Villain Lady Arrives 227

Hearing this, the three of them nodded and expressed their willingness to try. They knew that this was their only chance to control the artifact and also their chance to prove their ability.

In the following days, Kaqiyana began to teach the three how to properly control the artifact. She taught them many ancient magics and techniques to help them master how to control their own power and establish a connection with the artifact.

The three of them also paid a huge effort and price. They practiced and tried constantly, enduring physical and mental pain. But their hearts were filled with firm belief and courage, and they believed that they would be able to control the artifact.

Finally, after a long period of practice and experimentation, they successfully established a connection with the artifact and mastered the method of controlling it. They felt the powerful power contained in the artifact and understood the price they had to pay to control it.

However, just as they were about to leave the ruins and return to the camp, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the ruins. They were startled and looked towards the entrance of the ruins with caution. They saw a group of magicians in black robes rushing towards the ruins, their eyes full of greed and desire.

"Oh no! They must have received news about the birth of the artifact and rushed here to snatch it." Alice said anxiously.

Ryan had an ominous feeling when he heard this. He said, "It seems we have to leave here quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble if we are surrounded by them."

Tariq nodded and said, "Then let's go!"

As they said that, the three of them immediately ran towards another exit of the ruins. However, as soon as they ran to the exit, they found that it was blocked by black-robed magicians. These people held magic wands and had fierce faces, and it was obvious that they had come with bad intentions.

"What do you want to do?" Tariq stood in front of the two men and asked sternly.

A tall black-robed magician stepped forward and said, "Hand over the artifact! Otherwise, you will die without a burial place!"

Ryan was filled with anger when he heard this. He said, "You greedy guys! We found the artifact, why should we give it to you?"

The black-robed magicians burst into laughter when they heard this. The tall black-robed magician said, "We have powerful magic! If you know what's good for you, hand it over quickly, or I'll let you have a taste of the power of magic!"

As they spoke, the black-robed magicians began to cast their respective magics and attacked the three people. Seeing this, the three people immediately cast the magic and skills they had just learned and started a fierce battle with the black-robed magicians.

During the battle, they found that the black-robed magicians were extremely powerful and coordinated well, and it was obvious that they had undergone a long period of training and preparation. However, they did not retreat, but relied on their firm belief and courage to fight a desperate battle with the black-robed magicians.

After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the black-robed magicians. The black-robed magicians fell to the ground one after another, with unwilling looks on their faces.

The three of them looked at the fruits of victory in front of them, and a strong sense of excitement and pride surged in their hearts. They knew that they had successfully controlled the artifact and proved their ability.

However, they also know that this is just the beginning. In the days to come, they will face more challenges and difficulties. But they believe that as long as they work together and move forward courageously, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize their dreams.

Under the guidance of Kachiana, the three of them left the ruins with the artifact and returned to the camp. They handed the artifact to the elders in the camp and told them about their experiences and encounters in the ruins. After listening to their stories, the elders expressed their appreciation and congratulations.

However, just as they were preparing to celebrate their victory, shocking news came. It turned out that Kaqiyana secretly sent a puppet in the ruins to release the news about the birth of the artifact and deliberately aroused the greed and jealousy of others towards Tariq and others. This puppet spread rumors and lies everywhere in the camp, causing many people to become hostile and suspicious of Tariq and others.

Ryan, Alice and Tariq were filled with anger and disappointment when they heard this. They had never expected that Kaqiyana would betray them and use them to achieve her own goals.

They decided to find Katiana and ask her why she did this. However, when they arrived at Katiana's residence, they found that it was empty. Apparently, Katiana had known their intentions in advance and chose to escape.

"She actually ran away!" Ryan punched the wall angrily, causing the dust on the wall to fall off.

Alice bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness: "We were actually used by her! Why did she do this?"

Tariq remained silent, staring at the empty house, with mixed emotions in his heart. He had never expected that Kaqiyana, whom he had always respected and trusted, would betray them.

"We must find her and get to the bottom of this!" Alice said firmly.

Ryan nodded, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Yes! We can't let her get away with this!"

So, the three began to search for Katiana in the camp. They asked everyone in the camp, but they didn't get any information about Katiana's whereabouts. Obviously, she had made full preparations and deliberately avoided their search.

As night fell, a blazing bonfire lit up in the camp. The three sat by the bonfire in silence. Their hearts were filled with confusion and anger, not knowing how to face this sudden blow.

"Why did she do this?" Alice asked the question again, her voice full of helplessness and confusion.

Tariq sighed and said, "Perhaps, she has her own purpose and plan. It's just that we have become pawns in her plan."

Ryan clenched his fists when he heard this: "I will never let her go! No matter where she runs to, I will find her!"

At this time, an old man from the camp came over. He looked at the three people with sympathy and concern in his eyes: "Kids, you have done your best. The matter of the artifact may not be under your control."

Hearing this, the three looked at the old man. They knew that the old man was a wise man in the camp, and his words often contained profound truths.

"Old man, do you know why Katiana did this?" Alice asked.

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't know her specific purpose. But I know that the artifact is a huge temptation, which is enough to make anyone lose themselves. Kaqiyana may have been deceived by this temptation and embarked on the path of betrayal."

Ryan was filled with anger when he heard this: "How could she do this! We are her friends!"
