Chapter 168: Aatrox's Heart! There are dog daggers!
Now that he had decided to find Aatrox and his party first, Zuochi was not in such a hurry to enter Acacia's territory.
Flying in the air, Zuo Chi fully unleashed his spiritual power, carefully searching for the breath of Aatrox and his Darkspawn Legion.
Perhaps because the aura of more than a dozen Dark Descendants in Aatrox's group was too terrifying to superimpose, Zuo Chi locked the position of the group with little effort.
Just like the ancient city when they first encountered Nasus, Aatrox and his party are also in an abandoned ancient city.
Before meeting Aatrox and his party, according to Zuo Chi's understanding of the Dark Spawn, they were definitely either killing or on the way to kill now, but when Zuo Chi really came to Aatrox and the others, he almost didn't bare his eyes out.
"You are."
In front of the left pool, Aatrox was surrounding a sand table with Tiratu and Horaz, and he didn't know what he was simulating, and these three people should be the most normal in the group.
Because except for the two of them
Tarosh, Anaka, and the other Darkspawns were carrying Raast in the form of Red Kai on their shoulders, and Naganeka and Icarus each grabbed one of Raaste's legs, and then the group let Raaste spread his legs and slammed into the huge spiked cactus in front of him.
"A bunch of rebels, you guys should be damned~~!!"
"Hahahaha, Raaste, I've long been unhappy with your dead tsundere!"
"If you have the ability to let me down, I will be inseparable from you!"
"What are you doing with you? This year's wheat isn't ripe yet, so it's not your turn. ”
“.”
The scene in front of him really refreshed Zuo Chi's understanding of the cruel image of the Dark Spawn, and at the same time, Zuo Chi also realized that in fact, there was still a trace of sincerity in the hearts of this group of mentally polluted Ascendants, but this sincerity in the past seemed to be completely overshadowed by their killing and cruelty.
Sensing Zuo Chi's arrival, the Darkspawn put down the Raast they were carrying on their shoulders and waved at Zuo Chi one after another.
Raast snorted coldly at the group of Darkborns beside him, and then greeted Zuochi in front of him.
For this group of Darkspawns, Zuochi should be the person they respect the most besides General Aatrox.
They will never forget that Zuo Chi dragged their broken bodies to dig them out from under the battlefield one by one, and finally spared no effort to resurrect them.
With a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, Zuo Chi beckoned to the group of Dark Descendants:
"It's so hilarious."
The three of Aatrox also walked towards Zuo Chi, and he looked at Zuo Chi curiously:
"Did something happen? Don't panic, we'll help you. ”
Hearing Aatrox's words, a touch of warmth rose in Zuo Chi's heart, and he raised his hand and touched Aatrox's fist:
"Speaking of which, this matter may not have anything to do with you anymore, but I still want to ask your opinion. But before that I wonder, what are you guys doing? ”
Aatrox knew that Zuo Chi was referring to the sand table in the rear, and he had nothing to hide from Zuo Chi, so he said directly:
"This is the map of the Giant God Peak!"
Hearing this, Zuo Chi's tone was suffocated, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Are you going to attack the star spirits of the Giant God Peak?" ”
Zuo Chi really didn't expect that it had only been less than a month, and Aatrox and his party were already planning such a big thing.
This is even more outrageous than when Aatrox infiltrated Freljord alone in search of the demigod body!
You must know that although the ancient demigods of Freljord are powerful, they are only the native forces of the Runeterras after all, and their strength is only at the level of the top demigods, if the number of dark descendants is large, it is not impossible to touch them.
But this is far from the case on the Giant God Peak.
Maybe the power of the Star Spirit is not stronger than that of Aatrox, or maybe there are only a few Star Spirit left on the Giant God Peak now, but this is never the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the Giant God Peak, as the highest peak in the entire Runeterra, is almost breaking through the barrier of this planet, where the laws that prohibit the entry of extraterritorial true gods in the Runeterrae Land will become extremely weak.
In other words, if Aatrox and his party were ready to attack the Giant God Peak, they might be swept away by the Giant God Clan at any time!
Looking at the astonishment and worry in Zuo Chi's eyes, Aatrox roared sharply:
"Zuo Chi, there is a high probability that Zorani has been killed, and it's time for us to start taking revenge on the Star Spirit! We will definitely return all the suffering that the Star Spirit Clan has inflicted on us. ”
Looking at Aatrox, who was a little hysterical in front of him, Zuo Chi did not continue on this topic.
At night, in the center of the ancient city, which had long been deserted, the inactive bonfire danced gently, illuminating the faces of Zuochi and Aatrox in front of them.
The other Darkspawns deliberately withdrew from the discussion between the two and left the decision to their own generals.
Zuo Chi's eyes reflected the firelight, and he looked at Aatrox in front of him: "Aatrox, let's put aside the matter of revenge against the star spirit first, we are not their opponents now." ”
Aatrox didn't speak, he just stared at the campfire in front of him, he naturally knew what Zuo Chi was talking about.
Although he was extremely confident in his own strength and his legion, he had never underestimated any opponent, especially the Giant God Peak!
Once, during his time as a Celestial Ascension, he had personally followed Empress Setaka to the summit of the Titan Peak, where he sensed the power of the Titan God.
It was a force that made him unable to resist in the slightest, and a force that could easily overturn everything about him.
It's just that if they don't seek revenge on the star spirits, what should they do?
Aatrox had to admit that after reuniting with his former compatriots and killing Zorani, his heart was really happy for a long time.
However, after this short period of euphoria, he once again returned to his former appearance.
After all, it is impossible for his soul to leave the giant sword in his hand, and he may only be able to look ugly and dirty for the rest of his life.
He could neither extricate himself nor return to the way he longed for the most.
And in this case, it is better to continue to let this world embrace annihilation!
Once again, Aatrox and his compatriots set their weapons on the world, intending to kill the Star Spirits that had imprisoned them before returning to nothingness with the world.
Perhaps only then will they be able to usher in their ultimate liberation.
Before the bonfire, Zuo Chi and Aatrox fell into silence, and in the end, Zuo Chi whispered:
"Aatrox, I'm here from Shurima's imperial capital."
Aatrox's body shook slightly, but he still asked unappreciably:
"What's the matter? I should have told you a long time ago that Shurima has nothing to do with me anymore, and I just want to take the whole world to the funeral now! ”
Zuo Chi stared at Aatrox's eyes tightly, and his tone was very low:
"Shurima, who has just returned to the country, has no one to use, and a large number of displaced people have been taken away by Zelas, and Azir is now alone and completely in trouble."
"Zelas has more than a hundred demigod-level Bakai under his command! He also developed something similar to the solar disc that would give these bayquets a boost of power. ”
Aatrox still didn't speak, just looked at Zuo Chi quietly.
Zuo Chi continued to say to himself:
"I stole the Sun Emblem for Azir from Neremar, and the Sun Disc once again has the ability to create Ascendants, but Zeroth obviously won't give Azir much more time. Perhaps, it will not be long before this newly re-emerging country will fall again. ”
At this point, Zuo Chi didn't continue to talk, and there was a quiet atmosphere between him and Aatrox again.
In this way, I don't know how long later, when it seemed that even the bonfire was about to be extinguished, Aatrox let go of his somewhat pale hand:
"The Darkspawn has nothing to do with Shurima anymore, Zuochi."
Aatrox's tone was soft, but it seemed to contain infinite weight: "Where are we still the same as we used to be? We don't deserve to be called the Ascended anymore, we can't go back. ”
"From the first time we aimed the butcher's knife at our compatriots, we were disqualified from fighting for Shurima."
"I don't have the shame to face Empress Setaka, perhaps our current situation is a punishment for those of us who are willing to fall."
This was the first time that Zuo Chi had heard Aatrox describe something in such a relieved and relaxed tone.
Zuo Chi heard many things from his words, which Zuo Chi had never felt before.
"Rema needs you"
Zuochi still wanted to make a final remedy, because he knew very well that if even Aatrox and his legions refused to help, then even if Cassadine succeeded in ascending, Shurima would still not be able to escape the fate of destruction.
"It doesn't matter."
Aatrox shook his head lightly and slowly stood up.
"Actually, if you want to bring the world to the funeral, the Shurima Empire is also a part of this world, hahaha."
At the end of the day, Aatrox's voice was filled with his trademark laugh again, and it seemed that he had really been completely relieved.
By some point, all of Aatrox's legionnaires and Raaste had arrived behind him.
Eyes met in the night sky, and everyone did not speak, but Zuo Chi knew that no matter what Aatrox chose, they would unswervingly follow behind Aatrox.
chuckling and shaking his head, Zuo Chi smiled and scolded the group of dark descendants in front of him with some helplessness:
"Then I can tell you guys first, although I will do my best to help Azir, but if the situation is not right, I will just run away with my baby!"
Seeing that Aatrox and his party were not moved, Zuo Chi did not continue to continue on this topic, but chatted with everyone about the interesting things that had happened during this period of time.
"Did you find Zorani?"
"That guy is like he has evaporated from the world, and he is probably really dead."
Tarosh said angrily, "Originally, I wanted to screw off her head and give it to the general, but now it seems that it can't be done." ”
Tiratu asked with a smile in a voice full of royal sister's anger, "What about you, Zuochi, have you fought with Zelas?" It is rumored that this despicable is not weak, and Nasus and Renekton can't beat it together. ”
"Needless to say, I didn't just meet Zelas, I also met Ramos, do you know Ramos?" Zuo Chi slapped his thigh and said in high spirits.
Hearing Ramos, a creature that only exists in legends, the Darkspawn were also interested, chattering with Zuo Chi.
But the whole time, Aatrox didn't speak again.
He sat quietly beside the crowd, his eyes fixed on the dark night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Raast came to Aatrox's side.
"Are you worried, Aatrox?"
Aatrox looked at Raaste beside him and smiled with relief: "Of course not, how could it be." ”
"Really." Raaste muttered softly.
Finally, Raast patted Aatrox on the shoulder: "Aatrox, whatever you do, we will be with you!" ”
Time passed little by little, and when the discussion was over, everyone returned to their corners, and the room was silent, except for the storm that seemed to never stop raging in the night sky.
Zuochi was going to wait for dawn before heading to Acacia, and then take Cassadine and go straight back to Shurima.
All the efforts he can do have been done, and it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
Now that Aatrox and the others have made a decision, he definitely can't force anything more.
Before he knew it, Zuo Chi was asleep, but in the dimness, he seemed to hear the low roar of a desert hound.
The roar was very dense, and it was clear that the size of this desert hound group should be large, at least a few dozen.
However, Zuo Chi didn't pay too much attention to it, after all, there were too many desert hounds in the Shurima Desert.
For the average person, this large colony of desert hounds can be fatal, after all, once these hounds identify their prey, they will start a never-ending pursuit of it until it is completely torn apart.
But this kind of ordinary people's troubles can no longer be called troubles in front of Zuo Chi and the Dark Descendants.
However, just as Zuo Chi was about to continue sleeping, he suddenly found that Aatrox and the others around him actually stood up at the same time, and their eyes looked in the same direction at the same time.
Sensing this, Zuo Chi also opened his eyes and got up and came to Aatrox's side.
"Aatrox, what's wrong?"
Aatrox's eyes were still fixed in that direction, and he said in a deep voice, "The breath of the kindred." ”
“!!!”
Zuo Chi's brow jumped suddenly, and he patted his head hard, annoyed by his carelessness.
Desert Hounds, there may really be nothing unusual, but if this species is combined with the Darkborn, it is a bit of a story.
"Can you feel who it is?"
Aatrox nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Here we are." ”
At the moment when Aatrox's words fell, the hound's low roar in Zuo Chi's ears had become extremely loud, and he also looked up and looked ahead in the direction from which the voice came.
At the top of the long uphill in front of everyone, and then against the full moon in the sky, a group of desert hounds stood still, their eyes intertwined with Aatrox and his group a hundred meters apart.
In the night sky, the moon sprinkled a cold white light, and Aatrox and the others could see the figures in front of them clearly.
Led by a Desert Hound surrounded by a sharp blade around its head, this Hound was the largest of the other Desert Hounds, and had a golden ornament in the style of a dagger pendant hanging from her left ear.
Behind her, a number of hounds with a huge blade on their heads were also watching this way.
Hundred-Split Greyhound - Nayafili!
When Aatrox saw the Desert Hound group in front of him, a palpable look of astonishment flashed in his otherwise dull and dead eyes.
It was as if he would never have imagined that his former kindred would appear in front of him in such a way.
Originally, Aatrox thought that Verus had found the bodies of two human to make flesh bodies, and that Layast had failed to take away human bodies, but now he knew that there were even more outrageous ones!
What does it mean to take away a pack of dogs!?
However, compared to the astonishment in Aatrox's eyes, there was an incomparably strong look of jealousy in the eyes of the other Darkborns beside him at this time, and they all clenched their weapons, and the muscles of their bodies were completely tensed at this time, even Raast.
Zuo Chi has been observing everyone's performance, and he knows that Nayafili's strength should be very strong, and he should be in the same echelon as Aatrox.
After a long silence, Nayafili's hoarse and deep voice above was the first to come:
"Aatrox, long time no see."
Aatrox clasped his hands on his chest, looked at Nayafili with a squint, and then said with a serious face:
"Nayafili, did you come here and need me to help you find a bone?"
Zuo Chi: "."
