"Zizzizi!"
In the silent monster ranch, the sound of void plasma burning shields was extremely harsh.
The life-form disintegration ray shot out from Vel'Koz's eyeballs and hit Braum's heavy ram shield straight on.
The ice covering the surface of the shield was decomposed into nothingness almost instantly, and then the rays collided with the shield.
Bronn's body supporting the shield suddenly took a step back. His heart began to beat louder and louder, and all the muscles in his body were completely tense at this moment.
With a loud shout, Bronn tilted his body and used his own body as support to stop the retreating shield.
Vel'Koz looked at what was happening in front of him, a look of doubt flashing in his huge eyeballs.
It didn't understand why its rays, which could decompose any object, were actually blocked by a seemingly primitive door panel.
At the same time, the ascending power in Zuo Chi's hand behind Bronn completely burst out, and the hand knife that transformed into a blue star slashed down, directly cutting off Vel'Koz's tentacles completely.
The straight tentacles retracted quickly like springs, but following this, Zuo Chi's figure rushed out quickly!
At this moment, the expression on Zuo Chi's face was extremely solemn, and the power bursting out of his body reached its limit.
Zuo Chi never expected that the initiator of the riot at Monster Ranch would be Vel'Koz, the most powerful void creature in Runeterra!
But this seems to be the only reasonable way, because other void creatures have no way to break the seal set by Volibear, and only Vel'Koz's powerful decomposition attribute can have such an ability.
Facing Vel'Koz, Zuo Chi cannot underestimate the enemy in any way, because he knows very well that unlike other void creatures that are mindless and only know about killing and devouring, Vel'Koz is one of the very few voids that has both brains and strength. biology.
The rich power of ascension gathered on his hands, and Zuo Chi's right fist completely transformed into red gold, and he punched Velik's huge eyeball.
Even though Vel'Koz had stopped the beam as soon as the tentacle was cut off, it still couldn't completely avoid Zuo Chi's punch.
In the midst of the lightning and flint, Vel'Koz's tentacles stretched straight, the scales on them tightened like armor, and then he stabbed Zuo Chi's fist filled with the majestic power of soaring.
The two colors of light, purple and red gold, collided crazily and quickly eliminated each other. In the end, Vel'Koz's tentacles could no longer withstand Zuo Chi's power and retreated weakly. Zuo Chi's remaining fist also hit him. On the armor on the side of Vel'Koz's eyeball.
"Bang!"
The huge force caused Vel'Koz's huge body, nearly ten meters tall, to fly backwards and hit a rock pillar behind him.
Without giving Vel'Koz any reaction, Zuo Chi raised his left hand. The rock pillar that Vel'Koz hit seemed to be alive, and it quickly covered Vel'Koz's body, preparing to wrap it in it. in.
However, Vel'Koz's power was still too strong after all. It broke free from the shackles of the rock pillar with almost no hindrance, and completely shattered the thick rock pillar by the way.
At this time, Zuochi and Vel'Koz no longer attacked each other, but looked at each other.
"The power of ascension, the power of that lost empire."
Vel'Koz's voice was extremely hoarse, and at the same time it was filled with deep doubts.
He couldn't figure out why the power of ascension, which existed only in the Shurima Empire in the south of Runeterra, appeared here.
Could it be that something happened in Shurima? The Legion of the Ascended Gods is back again, and are they ready to reach out to the Freljord?
This is key information, so you need to write it down in a small notebook.
As the eyes of the Void Watchers, Vel'Koz felt that he had obtained some extremely critical information. This information may affect the Void Watchers' return to Runeterra.
Vel'Koz originally thought that its masters would come to Runeterra from the void crack in the east of Freljord. Apart from the witch and the endless ice above, there were no other obstacles, but now it seems that There are some other factors.
Could it be that the Ascended Legion that appeared in the void rift in Icathia can still intervene in this far north frozen soil?
Obviously this is not a place at all.
While Vel'Koz was thinking, Zuo Chi was also feeling the residual power of the void in his hand. He had to admit that Vel'Koz's power was really much stronger than the Rek'Sai he had encountered before.
Also, why does Vel'Koz appear here?
Zuo Chi turned his head and cast his gaze to the east of Freljord.
There, in the territory of the Frost Guard, there is a giant bridge spanning a hundred miles. It is a god-level creation built by the Frost Witch Lissandra at the request of the God of Fire and Forging.
And the reason why it exists seems to be to suppress those taboo existences in the Howling Abyss.
Now, is Vel'Koz appearing here because something happened in the Howling Abyss?
While thinking, Bronn came to Zuo Chi's side, and Vel'Koz's huge body slowly retreated.
The power of Zuochi and Braun has exceeded Vel'Koz's expectations. After some thought, it finally came up with the safest way to deal with it.
It's not the mindless void creatures near the void cracks in Icathia. What Vel'Koz likes most is thinking.
Knowing that you are outmatched, the safest way is to protect yourself as much as possible, not to mention that you have just received such important information.
Their masters have never encountered opponents like the Ascended Legion. Now that the Ascended Legion has appeared in Freljord, they must be more fully prepared.
Thinking of this, Vel'Koz's huge eyeballs once again lit up with dazzling purple light, and the organic deconstruction rays went straight towards Zuochi and Bronn.
"boom!"
The Ram's heavy shield once again blocked the deconstruction ray. Just when Zuochi was about to rush towards Vel'Koz again, Monster Ranch suddenly began to become restless.
The next moment, many giant beasts rushed out of their lairs, rushing toward Zuochi and Bron with blood-red eyes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Vel'Koz waved his tentacles, tearing open a portal filled with endless purple light in front of him, and slowly disappeared into the portal.
After Zuo Chi and Bron had dealt with all the crazy beasts, there was nothing left around except those huge corpses.
"My friend, what is that?"
Beside Zuo Chi, Bronn looked at Zuo Chi doubtfully.
In all his wanderings in the Freljord, he had never seen a creature as powerful as Vel'Koz.
Zuo Chi shook his head while thinking:
"It is not a creation of the material realm, but a monster from other realms."
"ah?"
After Zuo Chi said this, Bron felt even more confused.
However, the cause of the monster riot in Monster Ranch has finally been solved. After that, we only need to re-strengthen the seal, and there is no need to worry about things here anymore.
"Bron, let's choose some non-poisonous beasts and bring them back to the tribe." Zuo Chi looked at the giant corpses around him and said to Bronn with a smile.
"No problem, my friend."
Outside the Monster Ranch, the arc in Zuo Chi's hand kept beating, and the arc filled the entire mountain.
The mountain peak where Vel'Koz had erased the thunder mark was once again filled with thunder and lightning, but this time the thunder and lightning no longer came from the God of Thunder, but from Zuo Chi.
In this way, Zuochi no longer has to worry about the monsters in Monster Ranch running out.
After completely reinforcing the seal, Zuo Chi and Bron each dragged two huge beasts nearly ten meters in length towards the village they just came from.
On the way, Zuo Chi suddenly remembered the scene where Bronn used the ram's heavy shield to resist the organic deconstruction ray, and couldn't help but look at him curiously.
"Bron, when you obtained this shield before, no one stopped you from taking it away?"
Zuo Chi knew the origin of Braum's shield. At that time, in order to protect his treasure, Guabulak won Ornn in a trick bet and asked Ornn to help him build this treasure house door.
As a result, this door is indeed impenetrable and no one can open it.
Not even Guabulak can open it himself
I don't know how many years later, a troll child fell into the treasure house through the cracks between the mountains. Everyone was helpless because no one could open the treasure house.
At this time, Bronn appeared.
After thinking for a long time, Bronn came up with a solution that only he could do.
He punched one after another, directly knocking down the mountain. While rescuing the troll child, he also took away the indestructible gate. This is how he got this indestructible ram shield.
"Huh?" Bron paused slightly after hearing Zuo Chi's words.
He looked at Zuo Chi curiously: "My friend, how do you know this?"
"Ahem!" Zuo Chi coughed lightly and was about to say something.
But then Bron's face became clear: "I know, you know a little bit about everything!"
Zuo Chi suddenly discovered that Bron really understood him.
Bronn chuckled and replied: "Guabrak was already dead at that time, and the other trolls were eager for me to take away this door that brought them endless troubles."
"Oh?" Zuo Chi raised his eyebrows: "Then they divided Guabulak's treasure?"
Bronn sighed with regret: "The whole mountain collapsed at that time, and the treasure was buried directly. I guess with the brains of those trolls, they shouldn't be able to dig it out."
"Forehead"
Speaking of this, Bron suddenly noticed that Zuo Chi's eyes lit up.
"My friend, have you thought of anything?"
The smile on Zuo Chi's face became brighter and brighter. He seemed to have figured out how to get supplies for Winter's Claw.
"Bron, do you remember what's in that treasure house?"
"All kinds of gold coins and so on, and there seems to be Zhenbing and dusty wine."
"Then do you still remember the location of the treasure house?"
Bronn glanced at Zuo Chi thoughtfully, and then nodded: "Remember, in the territory of the Frost Guard, it is now the territory of the Troll King Trundle."
"My friend, do you want those treasures?"
Zuo Chi didn't hide anything and nodded directly: "I want to use those treasures as capital to go to the southern country to buy some supplies, just to help Winter's Claw survive this winter."
Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Bron's eyes also lit up.
The reason why Braum did not join any of the three major tribes of the Freljord was because he was keen to help everyone in the Freljord.
Now, the method Zuo Chi mentioned was completely consistent with his idea of helping others, so Bronn readily approved Zuo Chi's idea.
Bron glanced at Zuo Chi with great approval. At this moment, in Bron's heart, Zuo Chi directly changed from a good friend to a like-minded good friend.
Bronn: "It turns out that Zuo Chi is also a good person who devotes himself wholeheartedly to them!"
It's a good thing that Zuo Chi didn't know what Braun was thinking, otherwise he would probably have to pat him on the shoulder vigorously and praise him for his knowledge!
"Are we going now? Aren't we going to prepare something?" Bronn asked in a low voice.
Zuo Chi was a little confused: "What do I need to prepare?"
"After all, we are on Trundle's territory." Bronn said with some worry: "Trundle is extremely powerful, even I can only fight at a draw, not to mention there are many other trolls."
After Bronn finished speaking, he noticed that Zuo Chi's eyes became a little playful.
At the same time, he heard Zuo Chi's faint words: "I let him run away last time, this time I'm going to kill him directly!"
Bron: "."
By the time Zuochi and Bron arrived at those villages with the corpses of the beasts, the follow-up support troops from the Avarosa tribe had already arrived.
After Zuo Chi and Bron handed the body to the Avarosa tribe, they took several large packages and quickly headed east.
Using Braum's shield as a ski, he rushed all the way towards the territory of the Frost Guard tribe.
On the way, Zuo Chi and Bron lay side by side on their shields, staring at the dark clouds in the sky in a daze.
"Bron, do you have any dreams?" Zuo Chi looked at Bronn and asked softly.
Bronn scratched his bald head and said seriously: "I hope that one day the Freljord can be united into a big family. At that time, I can retire and return to my hometown and be an ordinary Poro herdsman. .”
[The host can choose to help Bronn realize his dream! After the conditions are met, the host can choose one of Braum's many abilities and characteristics! 】
Seeing the prompts appearing in front of him, Zuo Chi couldn't help but take a long breath.
There is no doubt that Braum's wish is very different from Ashe's ultimate dream, and the difficulty is also ridiculously high.
However, Zuo Chi did not refuse and accepted them all.
What if it can really be realized in the future?
Regarding Braum's dream, Zuo Chi went directly to the topic: "Braum, what do you think of the three major tribes and the three war mothers in Freljord now?"
"Huh?" Bron hesitated after hearing Zuo Chi's words.
After pondering for a while, he said softly: "The Winter's Claw advocates the law of the jungle, which is not the philosophy I follow. As for the Frost Guard, they will always send troops to launch wars against the Avarosa tribe and the Winter's Claw for no reason. , so I don’t like it very much.”
"Generally speaking, the Avarosa tribe is the most tolerant and friendly to civilians. Moreover, War Mother Ashe has also publicly said that Freljord will be completely unified into a country that is consistent with the outside world. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Zuo Chi nodded confidently: "Yes, I will help her too."
"If that's really the case, I guess many people will be happy to fight for you and your wife." Bron added.
"What about you? Bronn."
"I?"
Bronn glanced at Zuo Chi apologetically: "My friend, if you need me, I will do my best to fight for you. But I haven't decided to join a certain camp yet."
Bronn put his hands behind his head and said with a look of relief: "For me, people in need of help everywhere in Freljord should get my help. But if I join a certain camp, Then we are destined to give up helping some people.”
Listening to Bronn's words, Zuo Chi nodded in understanding.
"It's okay, Bronn."
In the time that followed, Zuo Chi and Braun happily discussed each other's experiences in Runeterra. Gradually, the two of them had infinitely approached the territory of the Frost Guard.
From a distance, Zuo Chi and Bron saw sentry towers appearing at regular intervals.
Jumping off the shield, Bronn approached Zuo Chi cautiously: "Zuo Chi, let's go over secretly, no one is going to shoot."
"Lissandra has equipped these frost guards with special treasures, which allow them to see very far."
But just after Bronn finished speaking, he saw Zuo Chi's mysterious smile.
Immediately afterwards, under Bronn's incredible gaze, Zuo Chi's hand was filled with earth-yellow light.
"Boom! Click!"
Almost in an instant, the ground in front of Zuo Chi and Bron cracked open. Countless huge rocks separated from each other under Zuo Chi's control. A secret passage that only existed in the rock layer appeared in front of Zuo Chi and Bron.
"???"
Seeing this sudden scene in front of him, Bron was directly shocked.
Zuo Chi held his hand in a daze, and Bron followed Zuo Chi into the rocky passage that stretched for an unknown number of miles.
After successfully passing the Frost Guard border, Zuochi and Braun walked out of the underground and flew in the direction that Braun was pointing.
Finally, after half a day's flight, hills began to appear in front of Zuochi and Bron.
"My friend, we are here, and ahead is the troll territory. The treasure house is in the center of the troll territory."
Standing in the air, Zuo Chi and Bron saw the tall figures running back and forth on the snow in front of them from a distance.
The trolls have a huge innate advantage in size and strength.
Descending from the air, Zuo Chi and Bron approached the troll clan's territory little by little.
As the two of them got closer, screams began to ring in their ears.
Zuo Chi and Bron frowned at the same time, and then looked at each other.
They all could tell that those screams belonged to the human race, including children and women!
As far as the two know, although the trolls will burn, kill and loot, they will basically not attack the human race. After all, the human race is protected by the three war mothers.
But now, what's going on with the screams coming from my ears?
Concealing their own aura to the greatest extent, Zuo Chi and Bron quickly swept forward.
As the two of them got closer to the central area of the troll territory, they saw what was happening in front of them.
On the throne at the top, Trundle was leaning there expressionlessly, holding his chin with his right hand, thinking about something.
And just below him in the main hall, several trolls were surrounding several women and children with playful expressions.
"If you village chief can't bring out food, then those of you with thin skin and tender meat will be the food!"
Like feline creatures playing with their prey, several trolls would push the women in the middle from time to time, and then watch them struggle and scream with evil smiles on their faces.
In the distance, the faces of Zuo Chi and Bron, who had witnessed all this, had become extremely gloomy.
"My friend?" Bronn's tone was rarely filled with murderous intent.
Zuo Chi put his hand on Bron's arm, his tone as dead as a deep pool of stagnant water.
"Don't worry, they won't survive today!"
——
Eastern Freljord, within the territory of the Winter's Claw tribe.
War Mother Sejuani and Scar Mother Freyna were sitting in the tent, their faces a little solemn.
"War Mother, we still don't have enough supplies. Even if we live frugally, we won't be able to survive this winter. Otherwise, let's go to the Avarosa tribe to grab some."
"Don't mention the matter of going to the Avarosa tribe to rob again." Sejuani's tone was very harsh, which also made Fleina stop what she was going to say.
Sejuani said calmly: "I was saved twice by Zuo Chi, and now he is Ashe's blood ally. Do you want me to fight Zuo Chi?"
Hearing Sejuani's words, Fleena nodded heavily.
Sejuani was saved twice by Zuo Chi, so she was naturally embarrassed to attack Zuo Chi's Avarosa tribe again.
But what should Winter's Claw do?
"Did Udyr leave?"
Fleina nodded slightly: "Well, he said he needs to find more powerful beast spirits."
Sejuani nodded slightly and looked at Fleina: "Where is the person I asked you to find? Is he here?"
While talking, the curtain of the tent was opened, and Olaf's figure appeared in front of Sejuani and Fleina.
"Mother Zhan, Mother Scar, I have brought you."
After Olaf finished speaking, he walked into the tent with an old shaman dressed in rags.
The first time the old shaman entered the tent, he sat on the ground crazily and kept mumbling something.
Olaf added at the right time: "It has been nearly two months since we snatched him from the border of the Ursine tribe. During this time, he has not touched a drop of water or eaten anything, but he still has not seen any traces. Signs of wasting.”
"Every time we asked, he would keep talking about the artifacts of the God of Fire and Forging, and he couldn't ask us anything useful at all."
Sejuani and Fleina focused their eyes on the old shaman, with confused expressions on their faces.
They didn't feel any strange power from him, so why did he last for so long?
And after all this time, he still has some fat on his belly!
After letting Olaf and Fleina go out, Sejuani stood up and came to the old shaman's side, looking at him solemnly.
"Your Excellency Shaman, I am Sejuani, the War Mother of Winter's Claw. Please tell me your experience."
Following Sejuani's voice, the old shaman looked at Sejuani. His eyes were cloudy, but his tone was extremely determined.
"The divine weapon of the God of Fire and Forging was snatched away by the God of Thunder!"
"Huh?" Sejuani frowned: "What artifact?"
"Big man!"
The old shaman waved his hands, describing the shape of this "big man".
"It is an extremely magical cauldron. Just one bite of the food cooked in it will keep you from being hungry all winter."
"You are really crazy." Sejuani said lightly.
"It's all true!"
The old shaman seemed to be very excited. He shouted loudly: "That is a sacred object, how can you understand it!"
Sejuani asked again in a cold tone: "Where do you think it is now?"
The old shaman continued: "It was snatched away by the God of Thunder because his Ursine warriors need to eat, and the God of Fire and Forging will not be hungry even if he does not eat for ten thousand years!"
Hearing this, Sejuani shouted towards the outside of the tent: "Olav, lock him up!"
After her previous experience in the Noxian city, Sejuani wished she could be as far away from the Ursines as possible. As a result, she finally found out the solution to the food problem, but it was related to the Ursines!
And this time it's even more outrageous than last time, because that thing is actually in the territory of the Ursine Tribe!
There is a huge difference between asking someone to go out for help and directly breaking into someone's home.
only
Sejuani stood outside the tent, staring at the northern sky.
"Big man, does it really exist?"
(Oh no, you are right. I had my tooth extracted yesterday, and it hurts the most today. It was so painful tossing and turning!)
