Chapter 24: The Man from the Abyss
The cold moonlight shrouded the winter Miracle Forest, and the cold wind blew whimpering between the dead branches. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Yu stood beside the path at the entrance of the forest with his hands behind his back, staring at the deep and undetectable darkness. Sif pricked up his ears behind him, wary of any subtle changes around him.
Here it comes!
Xia Yu's pupils shrank suddenly.
A tall man in black slowly emerged from the darkness, his face hidden by the black cloth, revealing only two amber eyes that exuded coldness.
That man was none other than Shavin, who had once again easily defeated his opponent in the second game of the afternoon, and, judging by his appearance, seemed to have any energy left.
Xia Yu clenched the magic card in his hand, he was ready to fight at any time.
"You have the courage to come with me. ”
Sha Wen stared at Xia Yu for a long time, then turned his head and walked towards the depths of the dense forest.
Xia Yu didn't hesitate, he calmed the frightened Sif and followed closely.
Sha Wen's steps were very light, and he didn't even make a sound when he stepped on the ground with some remaining snow, but the speed at which he was moving made Xia Yu mobilize a trace of the power of the source fire to keep up.
This person is really not simple!
When they had traveled several miles, Chauvin stopped,
"Who are you and why do you know who I really am. ”
After being silent for a long time, Xia Yu broke the silence first.
Chauvin did not answer.
"What did you ask me out for? ”
Chauvin still didn't answer.
A lone leaf slowly withered at Shavin's feet, he lowered his head, stared at this lone leaf, and his eyes suddenly burst with fine light!
The blue flames blazed, and the trees around it were shattered by this powerful force, making a piercing "crackling" sound!
Xia Yu couldn't believe his eyes, he recognized this power, it was the same aura as Yulia, it was an incomparably powerful power of the first fire!
"Soul Magic!
Pitch-black smoke erupted from Sha Wen's body, quickly gathering into a huge black ball in the sky, and then, its body turned into countless crows under a terrifying rhythm, overwhelmingly attacking Xia Yu!
"Ice Shield!"
Xia Yu had already recovered from the shock, and he immediately sacrificed the crystal clear ice shield in an attempt to defuse Shavin's attack.
But something unexpected happened!
Bang!
The continuous sound rang out one after another, and under this overwhelming force, the ice shield only lasted for a few seconds before shattering into ice chips!
In Xia Yu's eyes, the crows seemed to transform into a pitch-black god of death, holding the huge scythe in his hand high and slashing towards his head.
"No!" Sif exclaimed, using her magic to summon a giant plant, but apparently it was too late!
At this critical moment, the crow flock that was about to devour Xia Yu miraculously turned into black smoke again and disappeared.
"It's weaker than I thought it would be. ”
Chauvin said coldly, his tone without a hint of emotion, his voice low and magnetic.
"You could have killed me just now, are you just testing my strength?"
Xia Yu felt the coming of death a moment ago, he never expected that Sha Wen turned out to be an immortal, and it was this moment of trance that almost killed him.
Chauvin untied the black cloth wrapped around his face.
In the darkness, Xia Yu saw a face crawled with countless scars.
"Ezreal?!"
Sif exclaimed, "Watcher of the Abyss, Ezreal?"
"Sif it's been a long time. ”
The cold young man nodded slightly at Sif, and then, he turned to Xia Yu with a shocked face and said:
"Xia Yu Crimson, I don't know if you've heard that there was once a giant that took away half of the Primal Fire Core, and I, who have been fighting against it for thousands of years. ”
"The colossus of the abyss...... Yulia used to mention the word. ”
"It feels like the burn-up ceremony is happening, the recent activity has become more frequent, you should know what I mean, now, his target is you. ”
With that, Ezreal walked over and grabbed Xia Yu's right hand.
Xia Yu didn't dodge, he felt a warm current spread through his body from his hands, and with this feeling, the golden disc transformed by the primordial fire core in his soul spun rapidly as if it was responding to some kind of call.
"As I expected, the First Fire Core chose to suppress its own power in order to avoid devouring the power of the Source Fire in your body. ”
Ezreal sighed deeply, "After all, it's its instinct. ”
"What do you mean. Xia Yu asked.
"Come with me. Ezreal stared at Xia Yu's eyes tightly with a sharp look, and said solemnly, "Join us, and there, I will tell you all the answers." ”
Xia Yu hesitated, it wasn't that he didn't want to know everything, but there was a voice in his heart that stopped him.
"Ezreal, do you have a way to draw out the true power of the First Fire Core, or do you want to protect me? ”
"The latter. ”
"Then I refuse. ”
"Why?"
"Yulia sacrificed her life to save me, and I have already made up my mind, determined to lead the undead to a new life! Xia Yu puffed up his chest, "I can't continue to bear your favors! one day, I will use my own strength to fulfill my promise to myself!"
Looking at Xia Yu's determined eyes, Ezreal's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Yulia's appearance.
Exactly the same stubbornness, exactly the same indomitable.
Ezreal finally smiled for the first time, revealing a hint of relief.
"In that case, then I won't force it. Ezreal turned away and covered her face with a black cloth again. "If one day, if you can really do what you swore to declare, go to the dark abyss of the Far South to find me. ”
"Are you leaving?" asked Sif .
"Yes, I can't stop a man's choice. ”
Ezreal continued: "Xia Yu, you must win the competition, the prize of this competition is not as simple as it seems. Although it is useless to us, it is just a relic with some meaning, but it should still be very useful to you. ”
"I see. Xia Yu understood Ezreal's meaning, and he chose to give up participating in the competition, and his words confirmed the Explorers' Association's previous suspicions.
That magic card must be the Boundary Gate!
When Ezreal's figure was about to be swallowed by the darkness, Xia Yu thought of something and asked loudly:
"Ezreal, the source fire and the first fire, what the hell are they. Why are there two different but similar flames on the same continent at the same time!"
"Now that you've chosen to go on your own, it's up to you to uncover the mystery. I don't think it will be long. ”
Ezreal didn't stop him, and his voice came faintly, leaving behind these meaningful words.
