The huge ice phoenix spread its wings, as if endless ice magic poured out from under her wings, completely enveloping the entire city.

These storms and ice crystals seemed to be guided in some way, and they didn't hurt anyone in the slightest, but just went straight to Zuo Chi's right hand.

In Freljord, Ice Descendants like Ash and Sejuani possess powerful ice magic because of their ice bloodlines.

As an ancient god in charge of ice and snow and the cycle of life and death, Anivia's power is different from everyone else, and her magic power has far exceeded the scope of ice magic.

Ice Magic!

As the creator of the Ice, Anivia can summon the terrifying power of the Ice with a single move.

This is the power of some kind of law, the same as Orn's first fire and Volibel's first thunder.

A cold current rushed towards Zuo Chi's palm, and the strange flame on his palm that made everyone helpless really began to dim, and finally slowly extinguished.

The flames dissipated, and puffs of white smoke rose in front of Zuo Chi, and at the same time, his palms, which were full of cracks and burns, were exposed in front of everyone.

Looking at his palm, Zuo Chi couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Although he had already thought that the backlash of the world runes would be terrifying, he did not expect it to be terrifying to this extent.

Zuo Chi was even sure that if Anivia hadn't come today, he would have to pay a great price just to extinguish this flame, and even lose this hand completely.

At the same time, this seems to confirm another point, that is, how powerful is the big bald head who completely integrates rune magic!

Zuo Chi had only used part of his power to become like this, but that person had many world runes at the same time, and he had held them for nearly a thousand years.

Retracting his thoughts, Zuo Chi looked up at the ice crystal phoenix Anivia in the sky.

"Thank you, Anivia."

Anivia descended from the sky and stood atop the ruins with her wings folded, her ice-blue eyes curiously looking at Zuo Chi.

"Human, you're special. You're the first human besides the three sisters to make Volibell deflated. ”

A wry smile appeared on Zuo Chi's face: "It's just barely resisting, it's not deflated, if it weren't for You, I'm afraid few of us would have survived." ”

Anivia didn't refute Zuochi's words, because she knew Volibell better than anyone else.

He and Idhaug, the Iron Boar, are both battle freaks, but Volibel is even more outrageous than Idhaug, as he has little to no hands on humans.

As long as you can kill, there will be absolutely no reservations.

Idhaug, on the other hand, just wanted to fight, and he wasn't very attached to the ancient ways that Volibel embraced.

"Don't mess with the bears."

Anivia shook her wings and swept her gaze back to Ash and Sejuani, as if to alert them.

Facing the reminder of the god of ice and snow, Ash and Sejuani nodded respectfully.

Anivia looked at Zuo Chi again: "Human, the runes in your hands are very strong, but if you have to do so, you still have to use them as little as possible." You're not like the guy whose body has been transformed by rune magic, and you don't. ”

"Huh?" Zuo Chi suddenly looked at Anivia, and his eyes moved.

"Anivia, do you know Ryze?"

"There was a one-sided relationship."

Anivia nodded her huge head: "The rune in your hand originates from an abyss in the extreme north of Freljord, northwest of the Sea of Ice. It was Rhy who found it and snatched him out of the tentacle monster's grasp. ”

“！！”

Hearing this, Zuo Chi was completely shocked.

Northwest of the Sea of Ice.

The Sea of Ice is already located in the northernmost part of the entire territory of the Land of Runeterra, and further north of the Sea of Ice, except for the islands inhabited by the bear people, there seems to be only an unknown continent.

And then there's the tentacle monster in Anivia's mouth

Is it the Void? Are there any void creatures in the north of Freljord?

As if she didn't notice Zuochi's doubts, Anivia continued: "I remember that Rieze took this rune to the interior of Freljord, but I didn't expect it to end up in your hands. ”

Speaking of which, Zuo Chi can already connect the events together.

Ruiz discovered the World Rune - Red in the extreme north of Freljord, and then he took the World Rune to the interior of Freljord, where he took Brand as a disciple, but Brand could not withstand the temptation of the World Rune and was completely swallowed by the World Rune.

Ruiz is temporarily repelled by Brand, who is holding the World Rune, while Brand wanders the Rune Land with the World Rune.

Until some time ago, Zuochi happened to break into the scene of the battle between Brand and Sindra

Thinking about it this way, Zuo Chi's process of obtaining the world runes is really a bit of a coincidence.

Seemingly not caring about the world's runes, Anivia looked at the snowflakes in the sky, her wings spread.

"As a last resort, try not to use its power."

"Human, we'll see you again."

After saying these last words, Anivia's sky-obscuring figure soared straight into the sky, flying all the way in the direction of the Ice and Snow God Mountain.

The purpose of her trip was only to stop Volibel from killing innocents indiscriminately, and the purpose had been achieved, so it was naturally time to leave.

Anivia will stop the other Old Gods from making a move against humans, but she won't bother with the internal affairs of humans.

Under the gaze of Zuo Chi and his party, Anivia's figure quickly disappeared into the western sky.

By this time, the dust had finally settled.

The ruins were very quiet at this time, and no one spoke, except for the occasional low roar of a frost wolf.

Everyone's eyes were on Zuo Chi's body.

In the end, it was Sejuani who was the first to speak: "Zuo Chi, you saved me again."

Zuo Chi turned his head to look at Sejuani and shook his head slightly: "Ash and I are just coming over to take a look, if you can help, you can help." ”

Hearing Zuochi's words, Sejuani couldn't help but look at Ash beside him.

At this time, Ash was standing beside Zuo Chi, holding Zuo Chi's hand full of burn marks in the palm of his hand, and looked at him with a distressed expression.

Hearing Zuochi and Sejuani mention herself, Ash looked away from Zuochi's hand and met Sejuani.

“.”

You two look at me, I look at you, and neither of you spoke.

However, at this time, the meaning in the eyes of the two was completely different.

Sejuani: That's what you said you kept for me! I haven't seen it for two days and it's already cooked with raw rice? Okay, okay, you're so neat, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some money!

Ash: I don't know what you're talking about, Zuo Chi and I are in love, don't you take love away from you!

It can be seen that Ash is more or less weak-hearted, after all, this matter is indeed her fault, but looking at Zuo Chi in front of her, she still does not back down and looks at Sejuani.

As if sensing the atmosphere between the two, Zuo Chi hurriedly changed the topic.

"Sejuani, with this operation, you should have enough supplies, right?"

This is important because it is about whether or not Zuo Chi has fulfilled Sejuani's wish.

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Sejuani's eyes suddenly dimmed a little, and she looked at the bag on the back of the steel mane, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

Eventually, Udil, who was next to Sejuani, said, "I don't know why there are not many guards in this city, and there are very few supplies, although we have all found them, it is still a drop in the bucket for the Claws of Winter." ”

For the result that Udil said, Zuo Chi was a little surprised and a little helpless, he never thought that the road to help Sejuani realize her dream would be so difficult.

This has already pulled the two ancient gods in, and it hasn't been done yet.

However, Zuo Chi didn't complain about anything, just nodded: "Let's find a way later, use these materials for a while." ”

"Let's go back first." Sejuani whispered, "The women and children of the tribe are waiting for us. ”

As the words fell, Sejuani stepped onto Steelmane's back and gave the order to Winterclaw to retreat.

She didn't want to stay any longer, because the more she stayed, the more regrets she felt in her heart.

In addition, even after taking the last road, she still couldn't find enough supplies, and the pressure in her heart was as heavy as a mountain.

Sejuani now wanted nothing more than to return to the clan and find a way to keep Winterclaw alive.

Zuo Chi waved his hand at Sejuani, "Sejuani, after I think of a way, I'll pay a visit to Winter's Claw." ”

Sejuani's back froze, but she didn't stop, leading Winter's Claws all the way to the west.

Behind Sejuani, Udir's face was also extremely heavy.

He had thought that after returning from his studies in Ionia, he would already have the ability to protect Sejuani, and that he would have the power to stop Winterclaw from starving.

But just when he faced Volibel, he only had the powerlessness of ants shaking the mountain in his heart.

This was not what Udil wanted, and as one of the few beast spirit walkers in Freljord who had not been assimilated into a bear by Volibel, Udil knew that he needed more strength.

He needed to get in touch with the stronger beasts, such as the Old Gods other than Volibel!

Only then will he be able to gain the strength to be able to compete with Volibel.

The matter finally came to an end, and Zuo Chi looked up at the sky and let the snowflakes hit him in the face.

What can we do to help Winterclaw survive this winter?

"Left Pool." Ash called softly, "What are you thinking?" ”

Zuo Chi took Ash's hand and asked as he walked out of the ruins, "Ash, does our clan need to worry about supplies?" ”

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Ash nodded, "Although it's not as serious as Winter's Claw, our supplies are indeed a little scarce. However, if you save a little, you should have no problem getting through this winter. ”

Zuo Chi asked curiously, "Why do we have enough food in the same place as Freljord?" ”

"Because our tribe is located in the south of Freljord, the temperature is not too low except in winter, and the fields can be cultivated. With the accumulation of grain, it is natural to survive the winter. ”

Ash said, her bright eyes flashing with pride: "These are all precious treasures left by our ancestors. ”

"What about Winter's Claws?" Zuo Chi tilted his head to look at Ash: "Don't they farm?" ”

"Their land is very barren, and most of the snow is rocky and there is no way to cultivate it. It takes too much effort to strip the rock layer. ”

Ash patiently explained, "That's why Winterclaw's transformation into a nomadic tribe little by little.

However, it has to be said that this folk custom makes the strength of Winterclaw very strong, and every clan member is a powerful hunter. If it weren't for this winter, maybe they would only get stronger. ”

Listening to Ash's explanation, Zuochi had a clear understanding of why Winterclaw's claws were facing such a crisis.

It's not just the cold, it's the environment they live in.

Except that the snow is rocky

Suddenly, Zuo Chi's body shook, and he seemed to have thought of a way to let Winter's Claws cultivate!

However, there seem to be many obstacles to this approach

Allowing crops to grow in extremely low temperatures is nothing more than providing them with a warm environment, fertile and moist soil, and adequate light.

As for the soil, Zuo Chi is still confident that he can get it.

The hard part is just a warm environment and enough light.

In Freljord, the only way to keep warm is to rely on dry wood and charcoal fires.

However, these two things, like food, are extremely valuable survival resources.

If you want to use dry wood or charcoal fire to provide heat and light to the crops, it will not be worth the cost.

Where do you go to find things that are hot, glowing, long-lasting, and common?

After thinking to no avail, Zuo Chi withdrew his thoughts and took Ash's hand.

"Zuo Chi, have you thought of anything?" Ash asked curiously.

"I'll tell you when I get back."

Zuo Chi pinched Ash's face, grabbed her waist, and rose to the sky.

In the time that followed, Zuochi and Ash flew all the way to the center of the Avarosa tribe.

The doubts in their hearts were relieved, and Ash and Zuochi did not rush as much on the way back as before.

The couple swayed, looking here and there, Ash was patiently talking about the Avarosa tribe for Zuochi, while Zuochi was a little hungry and was still eating tofu while listening to Ash's explanation.

Along the way, Ash's voice explaining to Zuo Chi became smaller and smaller, and his face became redder and redder.

Finally, just as Ash's head was about to get steam, the two of them finally rushed back to the tribe.

After returning to the station, Zuo Chi took Ash's hand and said very seriously: "Ash, you ask the clan members to keep an eye on the feces of those large beasts when they go out, and then help me vacate a tent, preferably larger, and there is nothing to prepare in it." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Ash was directly blind.

"Zuo Chi, what do you want to do with these?"

"You'll know then, and it's useless to tell you now, because even I'm not sure if I can do it."

"Hmm~~"

Looking at Zuo Chi's serious appearance, Ash nodded: "I'll let people prepare." ”

After Ash left, Zuochi stood inside Avarosa's station, looking at the tribesmen running back and forth, still pondering the feasibility of that solution.

However, whether this method works or not, it is not something that can be effective overnight.

It's a pity that Zuo Chi hasn't helped Mao Kai realize his dream yet, and he hasn't been able to get his ability.

With Maokai's abilities to help, Zuochi is confident that he will be able to establish a stable relationship between the Avarosa clan and the Winterclaw clan.

In this cruel land, if the problem of food can be completely solved, it will undoubtedly reduce most of the conflict.

And just when Zuo Chi was still thinking, a very hurried figure ran from a distance and came straight to Zuo Chi's side.

It's Sigra, Ash's war sacrifice.

"Blood Alliance, what about the War Mother?"

Zuo Chi pouted at the back: "I just came back, I'm going to arrange things." What's wrong? ”

Sigra did not hesitate at all, and said quickly: "Just now there was news from the west of the tribe, and I don't know what happened in the monster ranch adjacent to the tribe, and those large beasts in it suddenly went berserk, rushed out of the monster ranch, and broke into the surrounding subordinate tribes and villages. They have suffered heavy casualties and are calling for help from us. ”

"Huh!?"

Hearing Sigra's words, Zuo Chi's body couldn't help but be stunned.

Hearing the place of Monster Ranch, Zuo Chi couldn't help but think back to Bron's figure again.

Zuo Chi clearly remembered that the reason why Bron went to sea to find the water of life was to help the children who were infected with the plague in the village near the monster ranch.

How long has it been since the plague? Why did the Warcraft riot start again.

I just don't know if Bloom is still there.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chi nodded to Sigra: "I'll go talk to Ash, and I'll go over there after that." ”

Hearing Zuochi's words, Sigra thanked Zuochi and quickly left, she still needed to appease those in the tribe who had come to ask for help.

Zuo Chi didn't hesitate and walked straight to where Ash was.

In the clearing behind the station, Ash was giving orders to the people in the tribe who were in charge of going out to collect timber to collect the feces of the beasts, and when he saw the arrival of Zuochi, Ash trotted towards him.

Zuochi directly repeated to Ash what he had just said.

"Ash, I'll go, I'm going to find a friend by the way."

Ash grabbed Zuo Chi's arm with some concern: "Zuo Chi, for so long, there has never been a case of one of the fierce beasts escaping in the monster ranch, you must be careful." ”

Zuo Chi nodded and teased, "Those beasts can't all be the same as Volibel, right?" I can't beat Volibel, can't I beat them? ”

"Hmm~~"

Ash felt that Zuo Chi was quite right in this point.

With the power of Zuo Chi, it should be no problem to crush the fierce beasts in the monster ranch.

Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, she looked at Zuo Chi curiously: "Zuo Chi, do you have any friends near the Monster Ranch?" He's not in danger, is he? ”

"I don't know if he's over there anymore, go look for it, and"

Zuo Chi winked at Ash: "If I can, I will fool him into our clan and let him join the Avarosa clan." ”

"Hmm"

Ash didn't say much about this, after all, the Avarosa tribe had already accepted so many tribes, both strong and weak, and there were not many friends in Dogazochi.

Moreover, Ash suddenly found that this feeling of having someone to help him was really good.

If it was before, she would have to go to the monster ranch to support while arranging things within the tribe now.

But now it's different, Zuo Chi really gives Ash a strong sense of security.

Raising his hand and rubbing Ash's hair, Zuo Chi looked to the west.

"Then I'm off and I'll be back soon."

"Pay attention to safety, and if you encounter any problems, you will directly ask people to come back for help."

Rising into the sky from the center of the Avarosa tribe, Zuochi headed straight to the west.

Originally, I was going to study the matter of planting crops, but now it seems that I can only delay it for a while.

However, Zuo Chi did not resist this trip, on the contrary, Zuo Chi was extremely curious about this so-called reserve granary of the bear people.

Monster Ranch, located in the western part of the Avarosa tribe, in the central and eastern part of the Freljord continent.

According to Bron, this is the exclusive hunting ground of the Bearmen, and there are countless powerful beasts in it, each of which is no match for the average Freljord warrior.

Every once in a while, the Bears come to the Monster Ranch to hunt prey and hone their strength to stay at their peak and prepare for any war.

I have to say that all that Volibel has prepared for the bear-people is really not different from the war he is in charge of.

It's just that I don't know why, the monsters in the monster ranch suddenly riot?

On the other side, in the west of the Avarosa tribe, the Monster Ranch.

In order to help the bears build a hunting ground to hone their will and combat effectiveness, Volibel used his creation power to smash a huge basin in the middle of Freljord with a radius of nearly 100 miles.

At the edge of the basin stand towering peaks inscribed with intricate marks of thunder, and it is the power of these gods of thunder that has completely locked the beasts in the monster ranch.

On the other hand, Monster Ranch is a paradise of beasts isolated from the outside world and has its own laws.

The beasts in the Monster Ranch can't escape from the Monster Ranch, and the creatures in the outside world won't enter the Monster Ranch unless they want to die.

But today, the mountain to the west of the monster ranch with many thunder marks engraved with thunder marks was suddenly enveloped by a strange purple energy.

This energy gradually erased those thunder marks, and quickly spread towards the monster ranch.

All the beasts contaminated by this energy turned their eyes blood-red in an instant, and their eyes were fixed on all the living creatures around them while constantly letting out a low roar.

The beasts that had been peaceful and settled in each other's corners suddenly broke into each other's territory and began to fight each other frantically.

Soon, the monster ranch took on a scene like purgatory on earth.

In the thick and pungent bloody aura, the eyes of the beasts turned to the mountain peak that had been erased by the mark of thunder.

As if they were being pulled by a pair of large hands, they rushed towards the outside of the monster ranch without hesitation.

And just as a large number of fierce beasts rushed out of the monster ranch, an extremely strange figure flashed from the monster ranch.

This figure only has a huge head, and a huge purple eyeball on the head is flashing with a strange light, and under the skull, there are countless thick tentacles!
