'Peng'

Lux, who was completely overstretched, suddenly fell to the ground while running, and sweat mixed with dirt and yellow sand on her otherwise cute face, creating a big flower face that made people's hearts ache. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Whew~Whew. Ga... Ahem. ”

Running all night, not a drop of water entered; There have been fierce battles, and I haven't eaten anything since lunch. Lux was so permissible that she was uncomfortable from head to toe, and she had to do everything in her power to keep herself awake and not faint immediately.

From the time they fled into the stone mountain, the two of them stumbled forward for about an hour, and after staying up all night for most of the day, even Ezreal, who had experienced many dangerous scenes, felt a burst of blackness in front of him, and leaned against the stone wall with his hands on his knees and gasped for air.

Finally, I suppressed the desire to retch several times. Look, Ezreal felt no more hot pain in his lungs, and then opened his eyes and looked around.

The Red Rock Mountains can only be regarded as the outer area of the Shurima Desert. If you have enough supplies, you may be able to walk all the way back to the majestic Barrier Mountains along the Red Rock Mountains, but unfortunately, even on the outskirts of the Shurima Desert, the living conditions are extremely difficult, and unless you are an experienced local, it is difficult to solve the problem of drinking water at the moment.

Ezreal looked at the surrounding terrain, calculating the time of escape and the last star map he observed before dawn, comparing it with the map in his mind, trying to figure out which direction the two of them were in the Red Rock Mountains.

The cute and strong girl also recovered, and subconsciously pressed her hands on the ground and was about to get up, but she fell down again, "Yes, I'm sorry." Senior. ”

Luckily, Ezreal noticed Lux's movements for the first time, and reached out to hold her before she collapsed.

"We're probably safe for now."

"Can't the bandits find here?" Lux didn't quite understand Ezreal's words, and with the crazy energy of those guys before, it was impossible not to keep track of them.

Ezreal looked up at the position of the sun, and after comparing it with the star map again, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, "No, if there is no movement of the horse bandits now, then it should be that they dare not go up the mountain easily, which is probably good news." ”

Lux, whose feet were still difficult to move, was shocked and asked in surprise, "Is there a nest of demonic beasts on the mountain?" ”

"Monster lair? Oh, there shouldn't be any such dangerous creatures around here. We may have just stepped into the sphere of influence of a desert mercenary group or a sand pirate group, and they are clearly separated from the horse bandits in the Storm Plains, and they will not tolerate horse bandits acting on their own turf. ”

"That'...... Is this bad news? ”

"I don't know, it depends on who controls the area. There are many extralegal forces in the Shurima Desert, and they frequently fight for their territory, because there are many relics of ancient empires, some people have become rich overnight, and many more have died in some unknown corner. ”

Ezreal clenched his fists slightly, feeling no longer as weak as he was just now, put Lux's arm on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Don't do this yet." We need to find a place to hide as soon as possible, have a good rest, and find a way to find something to eat. Come on. ”

……

At the north entrance of Mogro Pass, the 'Bull-headed Chieftain' Alista crossed his arms to block the pass sentry, and issued an ultimatum to a team of black-robed people on the opposite side: "I am very angry, and the consequences are very serious!" One last reminder to you, lay down your arms and get checked! Otherwise......"

Alista shook his head with a pair of sharp horns in response to the 'otherwise' in his mouth, and spewed a puff of hot air from his nose.

After a brief stalemate, the leader of the black-robed people, under the watchful eyes of the Minotaur warriors who were eyeing him around, finally gritted his teeth and accepted Alista's request, but still did not forget to release the cruel words: "Alista! You'll regret it! ”

"Humph! The rats of Noxus. ”

After half a ring, the black-robed team of people who had all their weapons and equipment confiscated left the sentry of the Niutou clan and hurried to the south entrance of the pass.

"Captain! These stupid cows are so insulting! ”

"Silence! Now there is going to be a big move above, just let these unreal things be arrogant for a while, and then, hum! Now the task is important, everyone listens, whether you live or die, you must find that woman. ”

……

At dusk, Lux, who was sleeping soundly in the corner, suddenly woke up, raised her hand and slapped her smooth forehead several times, so that her drowsy mind could speed up and return to its place. Scanning the dimly lit low cave with vigilance, he remembered that this was the place where the senior had found a place for the two to hide and rest.

'Goo~'

When the tense spirit relaxed, there was a very embarrassing sound in the abdomen, but fortunately she was the only one in the cave at this time, but she blushed slightly, and walked out of the sound of the cave.

"How are you feeling, Lux?"

Ezreal, who was busy working on something, saw Lux come out of the cave and hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Also...... Okay, senior. What are you doing? ”

"Several specialties of the Red Rock Mountains, sea buckthorn, sand silkworms, and sand lizards." Ezreal noticed the girl's slightly changing face when she heard the latter two specialties, looked back, and explained with some embarrassment: "These are the only ones that can be found around here for the time being, and I have to eat something." ”

He handed a small handful of yellow fruit to Lux, and gestured to the girl with encouraging eyes: "Sea buckthorn fruit, uh, although it is far from ripe now, contains precious water from the desert, and I think you should need it now." ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, looked down at the skinned sand lizard and the writhing sand silkworm on the stone platform, "As for these, if we can make a fire, they actually taste good after roasting." Now if you don't want to... If that's the case, I'll look farther tomorrow morning. ”

Halfway through speaking, Ezreal saw that Lux's expression had changed drastically, and he reluctantly considered his words.

Pressing on the feeling of her stomach twitching, Lux took the sea buckthorn fruit and sat far away from the hole, trying not to pay attention to the 'strange' things.

However, unripe sea buckthorn berries don't taste much better, and after eating two or three, the girl had to divert her attention in another way: "Senior Ezreal, you said before that we broke into the territory of the sand pirates?" What's going on? ”

"No, it doesn't have to be a sand thief, it could be a mercenary group," Ezreal said here, as if remembering something, raised his right hand and touched his nose: "By the way, that, Lux, my friends called me 'Ize' when I was in the academy, you can call me that, or Senior Izawa." Belch... We're friends, aren't we? ”

"Izawa... Senior? Lux suddenly felt a strange atmosphere, and couldn't help but think of the noble children who used to be annoying.

"Ah, ah, whatever you want. By the way, where did I just go, well, I woke up in the afternoon and carefully checked the nearby terrain again," Ezreal realized that he seemed to be self-defeating, which actually made Lux feel alienated, and quickly changed the subject, "This area should be under the control of the 'Crusader Mercenary Regiment' now, this mercenary group is a very influential team in the vicinity, and I have worked with them a few times, if I can find their station, maybe I can add something." ”

Seeing Ezreal, who was strong on the other side, but actually had a very embarrassed expression, Lux relaxed, the senior should not be the kind of superficial person, from yesterday to now, the two also have a friendship of fighting together, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are friends?

So Lux didn't think much about it anymore, but continued to be curious, "Crusader mercenary group? What a strange name, how strong are they? ”

"In terms of strength, although the number of people is not the largest, but the strength is strong. Their leader even has the title of 'Goddess of War', and is extremely powerful and invincible. ”

"'Goddess of War'?"

"Should I say to you, 'Be praised'? Piltover Thief worth 200 gold. ”
