Heading west from Shurima's imperial capital, Zuochi and Nasus quickly approached the west of Shurima's continent.

Breaking through the yellow sand, the figures of Zuo Chi and Nasus jumped out of a rock valley, and when the two left the rock valley, there were only countless corpses of sand bandits left in the rock valley.

Along the way, in addition to hurrying, the two have killed an unknown number of bandits.

These bandits live by plundering passers-by on weekdays, and countless innocent people have died at their hands.

The outcasts did not dare to return to the Shurima Empire, and these sand bandits accounted for a large part of the reason.

Soon, however, Zuochi and Nasus discovered one thing that left them speechless, and that was that the closer they got to the Nerema Pole, where Zeroth was, the fewer the number of bandits became!

Zuo Chi looked at Nasus beside him with a strange expression:

"Zelas actually paid off the sand bandits near Nerima? I have to say that he really did a lot of things in order to win people's hearts. ”

Hearing Zuo Chi's slightly ridiculous words, Nasus could only nod dullly:

"Your Majesty doesn't want to clean up the sand bandits, but the imperial capital is really not manpowered, after I go back this time, I will ask Your Majesty for orders and personally lead the army to go out to exterminate the sand bandits."

Zuo Chi naturally understood Nasus's statement, so he didn't say much.

Gradually, Zuo Chi and Nasus got closer and closer to Nerimaji, and it was also at this time that the energy obelisk group that the two encountered began to become denser and denser, and sometimes dozens of energy obelisks would appear in an area.

These energy obelisks are located in the desert, constantly absorbing the small amount of energy on the continent, and then transmitting this energy to the Nerima Tree.

Nasus tried to destroy the energy obelisk several times, but was stopped by Zuo Chi, and Zuo Chi's reason for stopping him was very simple, they were getting closer and closer to where Zelas was, and it was likely that they would be surprised if they made a rash move.

"Now is not the time, and when the time comes, there will be a chance for you to make a move." Zuo Chi said softly.

Faced with Zuo Chi's words, Nasus only felt puzzled.

"Zuo Chi, do you have any plans?"

"It's easy."

Zuo Chi grinned at Nasus: "Sneak in, don't shoot and drop." Find the Sun Emblem, then turn around and run. ”

"This"

Nasus's tone was suffocating, he always felt that there was something wrong with this solution, but he couldn't think of anything better.

"Left Pool, with the importance of the Sun Emblem, it is categorically impossible for Zelas to put it in a place where it can be easily found, and we will most likely be found at that time. Once discovered, it means that they will be besieged. ”

Zuo Chi bowed slightly: "I also thought of this, so I need to implement the next plan at that time." ”

"What?" Nasus asked.

Zuo Chi slashed the yellow sand in front of him with the long knife in his hand, and said softly: "Then naturally I will go to Zelas to fight, and then you will go to find the Sun Holy Emblem." ”

Zuo Chi is well aware of the difference in strength between Nasus and Zeros, although Nasus is strong, he will never be Zeros's opponent, and if he lures Zelas away, then his life is likely to be in danger.

Moreover, Zuo Chi did not know the Sun Emblem, so he could not accurately find the location of the Sun Emblem, so it was naturally most appropriate for Nasus to find the Sun Emblem.

It's just that when Nasus heard Zuo Chi's words, an inexplicable look of determination appeared in his eyes.

"Zuochi, thank you." Nasus said sincerely.

Zuo Chi smiled at him and shook his head: "I'm also doing this for myself." ”

Nasus's tone was still serious: "No matter who it is, you are always doing what is good for Shurima, and for that alone, I will always remember your kindness." ”

"Okay, okay." Zuo Chi didn't dwell on it any longer, but chose Innerthus.

In the time that followed, Zuochi and Nasus completely concealed their aura, and the towering walls of Nerema came into view.

Looking at the sky in front of them, which was completely reflected in blue, both Zuochi and Nasus's breath stopped for a moment.

Just in front of the two of them, the original quaint city wall was already covered with all kinds of energy arrays, and above the city, countless prismatic energy obelisks slowly rotated, attracting energy transmitted from all over the Shurima Desert.

Seeing this, Zuo Chi whispered, "Zelas, is this trying to create something comparable to the solar disk?" His ambition is not small. ”

Nasus remained silent, but his hand holding the scepter of war tightened a little.

"The power of the solar disc comes from the sun, but Zelas is stealing the power of Shurima Desert!"

Hearing Nasus's words, Zuo Chi just laughed and didn't say anything.

Soon, Zuochi and Nasus followed the outcasts through the gates of Neremaji, and successfully entered the city of Nerema.

Looking around, Zuo Chi just wanted to say that if he hadn't known that Zelas was the one who rebelled, he would have felt that Nerima was more like the imperial capital than Shurima Imperial Capital.

Compared to the Imperial Capital of Shurima, there are far more mortals in the city of Nerima, and even the shouting merchants are much more.

Shrouded in cloaks, Nasus and Zuochi hurried towards the center of Nerema, where Zeroth's royal palace was located!

"Everything has to go according to plan." Zuo Chi whispered, "And we can stop by to see what Zelas is messing up with." ”

"Hmm!" Nasus nodded.

Looking at the palace in front of them, which was constantly spilling out terrifying energy, Zuo Chi and Nasus both completely concentrated their spiritual power.

Along the way, Zochi and Nasus learn many things about the followers of Zelas.

For example, outside of the palace, there are very few mortals in the past, and there are many more strange individuals whose parts of their bodies have been converted into arcane energy bodies.

These people are none other than the lowest believers in Zelas, the Destroyers.

They adored Zelas madly, and gained some power from Zelas, and their bodies were partially assimilated.

Compared to ordinary people, the power of these destructive believers has increased dramatically.

In addition to destroying believers, there is another category of believers of the same level - immortal believers.

The Immortal Believer is no longer human, but Zelas has poured his power into the ancient artifacts in the Emperor's Tomb, transforming them into spirits under his control.

On top of both, there's the Sandvisioner, who helps Zelas find a suitable location for the Energy Obelisk; Ancient Wizard, a powerful mage of arcane energy; And the Wild Walker that Zuo Chi had encountered before!

As for the high one, Zuo Chi and Nasus didn't hear about it, and this is not a category that mortals can access.

As Nasus and Zuochi learned more about the composition of Zelas's forces, their hearts grew heavier.

Both of them had to admit that for Shurima today, Zelas was definitely an absolute rival.

With the help of Zuochi's rock magic, Zuochi and Nasus easily entered the palace.

It is said that it is a royal palace, but in fact it is just a complex of buildings surrounded by countless obelisk altars, except that the most central energy obelisk is more numerous and larger.

"Nasus, this is so big, where are we going to find it?" Zuo Chi looked at Nasus with some helplessness.

Nasus whispered, "It is rumored that Zelas has built a huge and heavily guarded underground treasury in the center of the palace, and if possible, the Sun Emblem will definitely be there." ”

"Underground Treasure Trove." Zuo Chi muttered softly.

After a moment, he nodded, and the two of them sped through the complex, avoiding the Cultists of Destruction and the Sand Eyers, getting closer to the heart of the palace.

Gradually, the two of them could feel that the arcane energy around them was becoming more and more violent, and they could even hear the sound of blue lightning beating.

Finally, Zuo Chi stopped rushing forward, and in front of him, a huge altar with a radius of nearly a thousand meters appeared, and this was the very center of the entire palace!

"Wow! Multiply! Multiply! ”

Hundreds of meters above the altar, a huge prismatic energy obelisk with the size of a solar disk was slowly rotating, and a pulsating blue arc of electricity permeated it, absorbing energy from all directions, and then pouring this energy into the ground directly below the altar.

Around the altar, a large number of cultists of destruction were constantly patrolling, and the Sand-Visioned One with a huge eye on his forehead shook his body and scanned every corner of the surrounding area.

Nasus and Zuochi both saw that on the left hand side of the altar, there was a deep tunnel that went straight underground, but at the entrance of the tunnel were two arcane energy bodies with their hands on their chests.

The Wastewalker is far more powerful than destroying the existence of believers.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi and Nasus exchanged glances, and a solemn look flashed in their eyes.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for the two of them to successfully sneak into the tunnel in front of them without the sight of so many people, but there is still a trace of luck in Zuo Chi's heart.

"Zelas isn't in the Neremar?"

Nasus shook his head in the same confusion: "Could it be under this altar?" ”

Both Zuochi and Nasus saw the massive amount of energy coming under the altar, so Nasus guessed that Zelas should be under the altar at this time.

At this time, Zuo Chi clenched the long knife in his hand and looked at Nasus in front of him: "Come as I said before." ”

Nasus also knew that in the face of the dilemma in front of him, one of them had to step up and distract the guards in front of him, otherwise neither of them would want to enter the treasury beneath the altar.

However, looking at the nearly 1,000 Destruction Believers in front of him, coupled with Zelas, who was probably just under the altar and was no less powerful than the top demigods, the one who chose to stand up and attract the firepower would undoubtedly face great danger.

And just as Zuo Chi was about to rush out to attract firepower as agreed with Nasus before, his arm was suddenly held down by a hand.

"Zuo Chi, the power of ascension will guide you to the Sun Emblem."

Then, under Zuochi's bewildered gaze, Nasus took a step forward and his body grew larger as he progressed.

The furious power of ascension poured into his body, and his nearly thirty-meter ascension body immediately appeared!

"Boom!"

The war scepter in Nasus's hand slammed into the ground, and a soul circle with a radius of hundreds of meters immediately appeared, and his roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth immediately sounded.

"Zelas, disobedient, come out and die!"

Zuo Chi: "??? ”

Ahead, the War Scepter in Nasus's hand slashed at the Cultists of Destruction in front of him with a sweeping force, and a large number of Believers of Destruction were swept away under this blow alone.

And while Nasus was busy slaughtering and destroying the believers, the two deforesters who had been guarding the mouth of the tunnel glanced at each other, and then rushed towards each other as well.

The blue-white lightning whip extended from their arms, slashing at Nasus's body with powerful energy.

For a moment, the center of the entire palace was completely chaotic.

The sudden arrival of an ascended god was like a tiger rushing into a flock, and Nasus frantically vented his hatred.

Although the strength of the Desolate Walker was strong, he still looked extremely immature in front of Nasus, the general who had ascended to the gods, and soon, Nasus repelled the two of them, and the scepter in Nasus's hand slammed into the giant altar in front of him.

And at the moment when Nasus's scepter was about to collide with the altar, an incomparably violent force poured out of the tunnel under the altar like a floodgate, and this force slammed straight into Nasus's body, knocking his mountain-like body directly out.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi, who had always been hiding in the shadows, felt a pang in his heart, and he knew that Zelas was really in the Nerima Tree!

In the next moment, Zelas's sly voice rang out in the palace:

"Nasus, what? Are you going to abandon that coward in Azir and take refuge in me? ”

"Zelas, lowly slave, you damn it!"

Nasus knew that he had to provoke Zelas, because only then would he be able to get out of the underground vault without anyone doing so.

Sure enough, when Zelas heard the word "slave", he was like an enraged lynx, and his whole temperament began to become extremely oppressive and terrifying.

"Let me guess Nasus, I guess Renekton must be hiding in a corner at this point, what are you here for? Stealing the Sun Emblem? But I was a little surprised that it wasn't your stupid brother who attracted me, but you. ”

As he spoke, Zelas's eyes scanned every corner in front of him.

And Zuo Chi had already completely integrated himself into the underground rocks the moment Zelas's words sounded.

When Nasus heard Zeroth's words, he said with a fierce look in his eyes:

"You'd better find Renekton's whereabouts as soon as possible, or you'll always have a pair of fangs on your back!"

"Huh."

Zelas smiled faintly, his tone full of lightheartedness, but with a strong murderous intent:

"Just let him go, but I've got a big gift for him. And now, I need to hang your head above the gates of Nerima first! ”

As Zelas's words fell, a burst of furious energy erupted from his hand, heading straight for Nasus, who didn't stay any longer, crashing straight into Zelas.

As the two collided, the entire palace began to tremble violently, and the surrounding believers of destruction were even more away from the combat range of the two as much as possible, and could only swing some magic attacks from a distance.

And just when everyone was looking for Renekton's figure, what they didn't know was that a black streamer had entered the deep tunnel under the cover of the rock.

——

"Click!"

The walls of the underground treasure vault suddenly cracked, and immediately after, Zuo Chi's figure flashed out of the crack.

Looking at the long tunnel ahead, Zuo Chi's ears were constantly hearing the roar on the ground, and without any hesitation, he opened his legs and rushed forward.

Although Nasus's sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected, with what he knew about Nasus, it made sense for Nasus to do so.

It can only be said that this university scholar is a friend worth making deeply.

Zuo Chi's figure kept flashing in the underground treasure house, and he could clearly sense that he was going deeper and deeper into the ground, and the roar in his ears had become weaker and weaker at this time.

It's just that what makes Zuo Chi puzzled is that he has been wandering around this treasure house for so long, but he still hasn't sensed the "guidance of the power of ascension" in Nasus's mouth.

However, Zuo Chi did not give up and continued to search.

Suddenly, Zuo Chi's footsteps slammed, and he turned his head to look at his left hand, where Zuo Chi heard a low roar of pain and sensed a very thick aura of energy.

Zuo Chi frowned slightly, he didn't understand why there was such a voice in this underground treasure house.

And just as Zuo Chi was approaching that side a little bit, there was a sudden inexplicable throbbing in his body.

"Huh?"

Zuo Chi raised his arm and looked at his hands suspiciously, he could feel that the power of ascension in his body was constantly stirring.

Sensing this, Zuo Chi no longer had any hesitation and rushed straight over there.

Zuo Chi fully unfolded his spiritual power, carefully examining every detail around him.

He knew that since he was able to come here so easily, it would be absolutely impossible for him to take the Sun Emblem with him easily.

Gradually, Zuo Chi came to the end of the corridor, and an incomparably huge underground space appeared in front of him.

Just like a square that exists underground, the space in front of Zuo Chi is huge, and in this space there are more than a dozen huge closed cages of different heights.

These cages did not leave the slightest gap, and stood in this space like a coffin, and Zuo Chi couldn't even sense the slightest breath in them.

The energy obelisk continued to rotate, attracting the energy from above, and then transmitting it into these cages, from which the painful roar that Zuo Chi had just heard came from.

Zuo Chi's gaze passed through the dozen or so cages, and his gaze fell straight on the stone platform erected in the center of this space.

There, there was a strange object about the size of a palm, shaped like a solar disk.

Zuo Chi knew that it was the Sun Holy Emblem!

It's just that looking at the dozen or so cages in front of him, he always has a deep uneasiness in his heart.

Through these energy obelisks, it can be seen that the energy gathered by the huge altar above the ground was not absorbed by Zelas at all, but was all instilled into these cages!

So what is in these cages?

This is the ultimate purpose of Zelas's efforts to build these obelisks of energy?

It's just that when he thought of Nasus, who was fighting Zelas on the ground, Zuo Chi didn't hesitate anymore and walked directly into the main hall.

"Step, step, step~!"

In the empty underground space, except for the low roar coming from the cage, only the footsteps of Zuo Chi kept echoing.

Finally, Zuo Chi passed through the wide space and came to the stone platform.

Looking at the Sun Emblem lying quietly in the blue energy box in front of him, Zuo Chi's arm transformed into a blue-gold star, and then he stretched his arm into the surging arcane energy.

"Wow! Multiply! ”

With a burning sound, Zuo Chi's arm slowly raised, and in his hand, the Sun Sacred Emblem was constantly resonating with the power of ascension in his body.

A flash of joy flashed in Zuo Chi's eyes, and he immediately turned around and rushed quickly in the direction he came.

However, almost at the moment when Zuo Chi's footsteps were taken, a loud roar sounded in his ears.

Zuo Chi jerked his head up and looked ahead, and then saw that a heavy stone gate suddenly descended from the entrance in front of him, completely sealing the only exit.

After that, Zuo Chi's ears began to hear a dense "click" sound, as if the mechanism had been touched, and it was like.

The cage is opened!

“！！！”

At this time, in the middle of this underground space deep in Zuo Chi, around him, more than a dozen cages with violent energy escaped at the same time.

Under Zuo Chi's gaze, all the cages were opened except for the largest cage on the far left, and then, more than a dozen bodies filled with blue arcs, and the incomparably hideous figures walked out of the cage and looked directly at Zuo Chi in the central area.

As soon as these figures appeared, Zuo Chi's brows furrowed tightly.

These figures are all too familiar, because they had encountered them in the battle with Zorani not long ago.

Bakai!

A warrior who once failed to ascend and changed his strength and temperament significantly.

It's just that Zuo Chi also discovered another thing, that is, these Ba Kai's aura has undergone earth-shaking changes at this time, and even the only remaining bit of consciousness has been completely lost.

At this time, Zuo Chi suddenly remembered the energy obelisk on the side, and the joke he had told Nasus earlier that "Zelas wants to make something like the solar disk".

Zuo Chi would never have imagined that Zelas had built the Energy Obelisk in order to transform these Bakai!

A torrent of furious energy rushed straight towards Zuo Chi, and the dozen or so Bakai set their eyes on Zuo Chi at the same time.

Zuo Chi held the long knife in his hand tightly, and at this moment, the solemn color in his eyes was incomparably rich.

He could feel that the strength of these Bakai was no weaker than that of the Ascending Gods, and even in the absence of consciousness, they were more suitable for killing than the Ascending Gods!

But Zuo Chi also found one thing, that is, the dozen or so cages around him were all opened, but only the largest cage on his left hand was not opened.

Even, just as these bayes appeared, a very dense and heavy crashing sound began to be heard from the cage that had not been opened.

However, the current situation obviously doesn't allow Zuo Chi to think about anything, and he must now leave alive from the hands of these dozen or so Bakai!

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the ground at Zuo Chi's feet instantly collapsed, and he turned into a streamer of light and rushed straight towards the nearest Bakai.

For a moment, the entire underground space was completely filled with a blazing torrent of energy.

And just when Zuo Chi was fighting with those Ba Kai, in the largest cage at this time, a figure was persistently hitting the cage.

Compared to those who had lost their minds, the figure's eyes were still clear, and there was a look of determination in their eyes that could not be erased.

Without further thought, the turtle-like figure curled up, slamming its back full of giant spikes against the cage.

"Roll!"
