Chapter 405: Dead Land

The battlefield of Yasuo was a few hills away, not far away, and Karn was going to go with him.

After climbing a mountain, Yasuo couldn't hold on a little and let the greatsword drag on the ground. This windy man could not bear such a heavy burden.

Karn asked for a great sword, slung it on his shoulders and kept going. Yasuo looked at it, and even Kai'Sa could easily carry the big sword and walk for a while.

This shocked Yasuo, if he hadn't killed the Noxians, he would almost have thought that people overseas were all talented.

After walking for about half a day, the landscape in front of them changed, and the land became more arid and barren, just like the Gobi they were familiar with.

Kai'Sa smelled a spicy smell in the air, and for a moment, she felt as if she was back in Shurima, the entrance to the Void Cave beneath her feet.

The group climbed a small hill and looked out across an arid and barren plain in front of them. At the edge of the plain stood a stone monument, only slightly larger than the totem pole, with Ionian characters inscribed on it.

"Let no one enter." Yasuo said, "I haven't seen this monument last time I've been here. ”

"There's someone behind the stele." Karn alerted, and the rest turned their gaze to the back of the stele, where a corner of clothing was exposed.

Yasuo's hand pressed against the hilt of the knife and leaned in, and when he saw the man, he lowered his hand again.

"An old man, sleeping soundly."

Kai'Sa curiously approached the stele, and as Yasuo had said, an old man was resting against the stele, his hat covering his face from the sun, and a necklace loosely on his shoulders, with several bells hanging from the bottom of the necklace.

"Daddy, it's time to wake up." Yasuo's hand flicked over the hilt of his sword, and a strong wind blew the old man's hat, and the bell tinkled.

He was awakened to the sight of the three men in front of him with wide eyes, and then slowly stood up on crutches. As he moved, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I overslept." ”

Yasuo took a deep breath, and the air was full of spiciness: "Can't you sleep here, do you see what is written on this stone tablet?" Do not enter the living. ”

The old man suddenly burst out laughing, and covered up his embarrassment with laughter: "I carved the words on this stone tablet." I know the dangers of this bad land, which is why I am here. ”

"So what is Daddy doing here?"

"Travelers, go another way." He raised a hand, "I have no quarrel with the world, and I do not work for any force." I'm just here to keep watch, and this leads to a terrible place, and it's my duty to warn passers-by not to cross it. ”

Yasuo turned around and looked at the two of them, only to realize that the old man turned out to be a road guard.

"Daddy, we have something to go in." Yasuo said, "Please make it easy for us." ”

Perhaps it was the deep aura on Yasuo's body that pierced the old man, he looked at the three of them, and finally sighed in frustration: "Go and come back quickly, there has been unimaginable pain here, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time." ”

"Thank you, Daddy." The three of them continued on their way, with the old man behind them, clasped his hands in prayer.

"I will sing for you," said the waykeeper, "to soothe your pain." ”

As soon as the three of them stepped onto this desert plain, they felt as if they had been thrown into a strange space somewhere.

The earth was a sickly pale green, and the air was sour, stinging in the nose and throat, and tingling in the eyes and lips.

There was no life here, and the smell of a caustic potion permeated the cracks in the earth, which could not be washed away by even the heavy rain.

The air was visibly distorted, and it could be seen in the scorching heat of the desert, as if an invisible fire was burning on the scorched earth, and it was too daunting to step into it.

Karn's skin armor didn't move, and the chemicals in the air were something that even the Void couldn't absorb, but it was so poisonous to flesh and blood that it was hard to imagine how Noxus dared to test such an inhuman poison on the battlefield.

"Wuji Village was also destroyed by alchemy flames, but it is not as serious as here, and the land can be saved." Kai'Sa looked around and said with a calm face.

"Hurry up, you can't stay in this place for a second." Karn reminded Yasuo that the place had once again plunged him into memories, of that rainy night.

"Infinite Swordsman...... It's a pity. Yasuo sighed and reached out to grasp the hilt of his sword.

He closed his eyes and felt the faint currents of air hovering around him, which made him feel more deeply the restless necromancers in the air, bound to this evil land, Noxians, Ionians, and many snakes, insects, birds, and beasts, all of which were not good to die.

Then he pulled the blade out of its scabbard, and the wind poured out of the gap between the two, and the vortex became denser and denser around the blade.

Yasuo dispersed the whirlwind as he wanted, forming a tangible barrier around the three of them, separating the poisonous gas.

Karn felt like he was in the eye of the wind, a wall of wind cut off from the outside world, and although it was open above, there was no strong poisonous gas in the sky above, and the air was much fresher.

Of course, if Yasuo wasn't here, he would have been safer with full coverage.

"It's not a complete air block, but it can take us a lot of time." Yasuo maintained the posture of drawing his sword, and Karn had to do it himself to bury the greatsword.

"Is that how the Wind Resisting Sword Technique is used?" Karn joked as he placed his broadsword on the ground, took the shovel Kai'Sa had handed him, and the two of them began digging together.

"Wind Resisting Swordsmanship, as the name suggests, is to move with the wind. To put it bluntly, this is the magic of manipulating the wind, but it has turned the technique into a sword move. Actually, this swordsmanship is not difficult to learn, the key is that you have to have the talent to manipulate the wind. ”

"So Elder Soma chose you in the first place because he fancied that you have a talent for resisting the wind?"

"Yes, it is impossible to see how high a person's swordsmanship can reach, but the talent of magic can be directly seen, so Elder Soma fell in love with me at a glance because I have the same talent as him."

"It's cruel to say, a person like my brother, no matter how hard he tries, he can't learn the sword technique of resisting the wind."

Yasuo lamented that his elder brother Yong En was unable to learn the sword technique of resisting the wind, so he switched to double swords. However, most of the Ionians have some passable magical talents, and if they learn it hard, they can still control a breeze.

"I also think that he should have gone to worship under the Wuji Gate, and that is the place where those who are bent on seeking a sword should go." Karn explained, "I don't mean to denigrate the Wind Dojo, it's just that Infinite Kendo is a little more lenient in terms of talent. ”

Wuji Kendo is borrowing magic from the spiritual realm, and the spiritual realm is everywhere. Wind swordsmanship is the manipulation of the wind in the environment, which is too limited in comparison. This is also the reason why Yasuo alone in the entire dojo can learn the sword technique of resisting the wind.

"I chose the Wind Dojo purely because of its proximity, and children don't know anything about it." Yasuo laughed helplessly, but Karn and the others didn't say anything more.

As they dug through the ground, visible green poisonous gas began to seep out of the cracks.

Kahnkasha held her breath, and Yasuo carefully changed the airflow to blow away the poison gas as soon as possible.
