Chapter 928: The Lost Land, Acacia
"What if you know that?"
It was always unpleasant to be used as a gun, and although he was a little disgusted, Azir still wanted to know his next step.
"What the Void wants to devour is not just the scattered villages of Shurima, but the entire Land of Runeterra. The Prophet was pushing the process while the girl was trying to stop it. So we're going to get this troublesome prophet done, and then let the girl be our guide and lead us to the underground of Acacia. ”
Jeno said it as a matter of course, and when Azir heard that he was going to go underground in Acacia, his face collapsed on the spot.
"So you can't blow the ground up with your flames?" He's trying to avoid something like that.
"You can't do it directly, besides that girl, there are many more people underground who are struggling to survive." Jeno said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't face the void like Aatrox, you're not so susceptible to infection." ”
At this moment, Azir suddenly had a premonition that something called a flag might be about to come true.
……
The Abyss drove south for a while, and came to the fallen village that Eli had spoken of.
But there are no village ruins, the void has swallowed everything up, and all that can be found is quicksand and rubble. The earth in front of him cracked a deep valley, leaving only twisted stone pillars as black as night, piercing the yellow sand of the desert.
Here, only a desert remains.
Did the prophet do all this? Why did he do it? Jana tossed the sand with the wind, and only the tattered cloth fluttered in the wind.
"Marzaha lost hope in humanity and threw himself into the embrace of the void." Jeno said. But he knew that Malzaha was not the only one who embraced the void, the existence of the void permeated the entire history of mankind, and there were people who threw themselves into the embrace of the void long before the rise of the Shurima Sun Disk.
"There are always people who don't want to live well, can't they be like me, pursuing vulgarity?" Sarah sighed, trying to mediate the atmosphere.
"Let's move on."
……
Finally, the group arrived at the realm of Acacia, where Ezreal had also thought about proving himself, but only glanced at it from a distance and slipped away.
From here, the sand beneath your feet gradually turns to salt grains, the quicksand sinks like a whirlpool in an hourglass, and the yellow whirlwind slowly drifts into the sky with smoke and dust.
A breath of absurdity and ruin came to my face, choking people.
"It's home." Jax took off his mask and felt the smell of home, a strange gesture that made it hard to feel pain.
Out of curiosity, Jeno tilted his head to look at Jax's face, which had been hidden deep under the porous mask—a serrated wound that ran from the top of his right eye to his chin, and other than that, it was no different from a normal person.
"Before that, I always thought that you were infected by the Void, and you didn't dare to show your true face." Jeno said.
"If that were the case, I would have cut myself a long time ago." Jax smiled, the scar on his face even more hideous.
For many years, he was regarded as a monster because he did not show his true face.
People thought that his face, infected by the void, had many terrifying eyes or tentacles. thought that the reason why he could live so long was because his life was distorted by the void.
But in fact, these are all misunderstandings, the scar on Jax's face was cut by the enemy Celestial warriors during the battle of Acacia, and his life was extended because of the possession of the Eternal Flame.
As for why there are only three fingers...... Because it's their clan's racial talent. In addition, Jax's clan has a long life and surpasses ordinary people. But if it weren't for the Eternal Flame, Jax would have died long ago.
As the Abyss continued to advance, some abandoned towns began to come into view.
The earth was filled with fissures, and some large, twisted tentacles burst out of the earth, taking on the form of teeth and claws in the streets, but now they were hard and cold, like dead roots.
"These are starving void creatures, and when they die, they form these hernias." Jax said.
Few people know how to fight the Void, and if there is no organic matter or nourishment from magic nearby, the Void will grow slower until it eventually goes into hibernation.
And the sacrifice made by the prophet is actually feeding the void.
"If you want to go underground in Acacia, then it's safest to do so through these hernias. Or you can rummage through the soft quicksand for the living tentacles, then hop and jump on them, letting them drag you underground. ”
"But it's still some distance from the capital, right?" Jeno questioned, they had just entered the borders of Acacia, and the capital was the starting point of the Void Eruption.
"It's the same." Jax looked at the torch that grew brighter the closer to Acacia, and replied in a serious voice: "The underground world is huge, and the void creatures have almost hollowed out the entire underground of Acacia, even if we enter here, we can go to the capital." ”
In fact, the underground world is far wider than Jax said, he has never gone down, these are what he has heard. If you are a real hunter in the underground, you will know that the underground world has spread to the bottom of the Shurima Desert, and even lies dormant beneath certain towns.
"But we can't say for sure if the Prophet will be underground." Jeno said.
"So what are you going to do?" Jax asked.
"Let's scout the neighborhood and see if we can find some valuable information. Otherwise, they would have to wait for the Prophet's followers to come to the vicinity of the sacrificial animals, and then examine them. ”
"Reliable." Jax nodded.
In the time that followed, Jano asked Cana to begin inspecting the nearby landscape.
As long as there is a place where air can circulate, whether it is the ruins of dilapidated houses on the ground or the unfathomable underground tunnels, she will not let go.
And so it was night, and Acacia ushered in the night, and the glimmer of the crescent moon sprinkled on the barren land, and the humanoid radar Gana also responded.
"I found someone, and a dozen miles away, a group of people from the direction of Shurima were driving camels and goats into the nearby deep valley!"
"Take us there."
Soon the Abyss arrived at its destination, a rocky valley into which several figures could be faintly seen as the moonlight cast into it.
These must be prophetic people. Sarah stayed on the boat and we went down. Jeno stopped the boat in the valley, out of sight of the group below, and said to everyone.
"Well, I'll be the babysitter again." Sarah has seen the reality clearly, and she says goodbye to Jeno and returns to the captain's room to take care of the dragon eggs.
