Chapter 486: Zerima
Earth time in early June 2017, in Zerema in the southern part of the Shurima Desert.
The eastern foothills of the Giant God Peak stretch eastward from the Nerima Tree to the Acacia Peninsula, sealing off the entire Shurima Continent's path south out of the Watcher's Sea.
But fortunately, there are two valleys that connect the north and the south in the middle of this mountain range that winds from west to east.
One of them is the valley at the eastern end of the mountain range, where tens of thousands of years of wind and sand have created a peculiar geological structure.
The hollow rocks there have been carved by nature into a magical musical instrument that whistles when a strong wind blows.
The sound of ghostly cries filled the valley, and the raiders who had been entrenched there had long since lost their hearing, but even then they could still strike at the unwary footmen at night.
And in the middle of the mountains, directly south of the solar disk, is a city organized by foot traders for thousands of years, Zerima.
Compared to the Valley of the Ngung, the valley here is even narrower, and at its narrowest point, it can barely be passed by a four-wheeled carriage.
This terrain is not conducive to bandits, so in contrast to the Valley of the Badd, this is an important passage for Shurima to head south to the port of the Sea of Watchers.
People would travel north from the port of Antahir on the south side of the valley and through the narrow valley to Zerima for their final supplies before entering the desert.
Those who came from the north would also bring with them the specialties of the northern countries, such as Piltover and Zaun, to trade with the merchants from the Sea of the Watchers.
Walking in this crowded market, Xiao Yuebai's skin obviously told the people around him that he was not a local here.
And no matter where you are, those who live at the bottom will always have some special means to welcome those who come from other places.
Xiao Yuebai has entered the city for less than 3 hours, but he has already been "welcomed" by pickpockets four times.
However, thanks to some special methods of Boss Xiao, these pickpockets did not gain anything at all, and not only that, but they were tortured by the dark energy left on them by Xiao Yuebai for a few days.
No, just after a gentle tap on the back of the fifth pickpocket, the thief's instinctive shoulder felt as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer.
Looking at the staggering figure that had gone away, Xiao Yuebai did not stop it, and he could understand this kind of environment.
After all, for Shurima now, it is still in the process of reconstruction and reconstruction, and there are many problems to be solved in this process.
Moreover, even in every country on the planet, the opportunistic profession of thief cannot be avoided, let alone the situation of Shurima.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Yuebai did not delay his trip and continued to walk towards the other side of the city.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Yuebai walked through the city and came to the mouth of the valley on the other side.
Looking at the endless stream of convoys coming and going in and out of the valley, Xiao Yuebai did not enter the valley, but walked towards the hillside on the west side.
After walking up the steep slope at a 30-degree angle for more than 1 hour, I finally came to the top of the mountain, and the Desert Reaper, the Ascendant Brothers. Nasus and the Butcher of the Wilderness. Renekton is here waiting for his arrival.
"Mr. Xiao, are you here?!" When Nasus, who was sitting on a rock, saw Xiao Yuebai, he hurriedly got up from the rock and said to Xiao Yuebai.
Nodding politely, Xiao Yuebai replied with a smile: "I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting." What do you think? Where's Verus? ”
Rekton, who was standing a little higher on the side, turned his head to the two of them after hearing Xiao Yuebai's words: "An hour ago, he had already left the bazaar, and now he is walking along the north side of the mountain range towards Soangsa Waterfall. ”
After hearing this, Nasus hesitantly turned his head to Xiao Yuebai and asked, "Mr. Xiao, what do you think we should do?" ”
Smiling again, he raised his arms and shook them, Xiao Yuebai hurriedly explained: "You two, don't be so polite, I'm just here to help." ”
"So what to do, you two can just take the idea, I'll just take action when you need me!"
Xiao Yuebai said this mainly because he didn't want to get too involved in Shurima's internal affairs, so as to leave a pretext for other civilizations in the alliance.
As long as you don't make an idea, don't make a plan, and the leader of this incident is on Shurima's side, then you can't be regarded as interfering in the internal affairs of the other party, but only helping the alliance of allies.
Seeing that Xiao Yuebai really didn't want to lead this incident, Nasus got up from the rock, turned his head to look at the west and said:
"Nearby Soonsa Falls is the Garden City, which was the most beautiful city of Shurima before the Rune War broke out, and it is also the hometown of Viruas, and I think he might go there to check it out."
Since he agreed to his decision not to interfere with Nasus, Xiao Yuebai would naturally agree to his suggestion, so he smiled and said to the kobold wise man, "Okay, let's go to the Garden City first!" ”
After deciding on the itinerary, the three of them did not delay much and immediately started the next road.
Two ascended people and a superhuman body, although walking between the mountains that are difficult for ordinary people to walk, the three of them are very fast.
The road that would take ordinary people nearly two months to complete, the three of them walked for less than three days before they came to the vicinity where the Soangsa Waterfall was located.
As they got closer to the main peak of the Giant God Peak, the altitude of the mountain became higher and higher, for example, the summit of the mountain where the three of them were now located was already covered with snow.
The cold climate and strong winds did not bring any discomfort to the three people standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the Great Rift Valley at the foot of the mountain, the endless yellow sand sloped from the cliff on the north side to the Great Rift Valley like a waterfall.
Even though the three of them were nearly a hundred kilometers away from there in a straight line, they could hear the muffled sound of gravel falling into the rift from the Great Rift Valley.
"This is Soonsa Great Sand Falls." Pointing to the Great Rift Valley at the feet of the three of them, Nasus said.
Xiao Yuebai nodded silently when he heard this, about this place, Xiao Yuebai has seen it on the official website of "League of Legends Universe".
Originally, this was a paradise for the Shurima to sacrifice to the Ascended and the Treasure Hunters, but due to the last Void War, Azir moved all the Shurima people who were south of the Dawnboat to the north, and few people came here.
However, looking at the magnificent sand waterfall under his feet, Xiao Yuebai couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature, thousands of years of time have made such a magnificent scene proudly take shape.
This sand waterfall, which stretches for more than ten kilometers from east to west, is vast and magnificent, and it is too small compared to human beings.
After Xiao Yuebai looked at the sand waterfall for a while, Nasus suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the northwest of the top of the mountain, and at the end of his line of sight was a desolate desert.
"On the other side of the desert is the Garden City, where we should meet Verus!"
