he came from the void

While speaking, the Soul Eater's arm released red lightning, and when these lightning fell on the place, dense smoke was generated, rolling around, forming clusters of hungry storms.

Then there was a group of smaller spirits around me—broken, half-digested souls, some missing arms, some missing jaws, others disemboweled and empty-headed.

The blood-red light chain tied them to the giant evil spirit, allowing them to be enslaved while being eaten away.

Kai'Sa took two steps back, she actually felt their pain, the fear of being slowly eaten.But even more terrifying, it senses their longing to escape their torment.

"A Feast of Flesh," said the Soul Eater, its sound like a blunt saw on bone.

Then it strode towards them, a wicked grin splitting his cruel face in half.

She wanted to fight back, smashing it into mindless shards, but Kahn stopped her just in time.

"Don't do anything here, the Soul Eater was attracted by the movement of our battle just now."

Kai'Sa immediately understood and ran away from the city, followed by the other two.

Seeing the prey fleeing, the Soul Eater raised a strong hand, and those enslaved and mutilated souls floated towards them.

The icy claws radiated cold light and grabbed Kahn's back, but because the distance was limited by the red light chain, the grab was empty.

The gluttonous soul eater is unwilling to let go of the shackles on these mutilated souls. It knows that once the iron chain is untied, these souls that have been tortured and eaten by him will escape.

It moved its huge and sturdy body, driving the little ghosts to chase the three of them, its stocky belly leaned forward, and it seemed that it might roll down the hill at any time.

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the black mist behind him, accompanied by the shrill scream of the little ghost.

Kahn has been maintaining an unhurried pace, he'd better get rid of this undead on the island.

If he threw it away, maybe Soul Eater would use some method to track him to the tavern, and he didn't want to break the taboo of the tavern when he went out to hunt for treasure on the first day.

In the middle of the hillside, they stopped, and the screaming little ghost was the first to rush out of the black mist and appear in front of them.

Seeing this, Kai'Sa lowered her upper body without hesitation, pointed the mouth of the pod at them, and sent a scorching relief.

A series of missiles hit these mutilated spirit bodies, releasing them from the chains of encroachment, and sending them to the black mist to forget the pain.

"My delicious meal! No!" The thick black mist was shaken away by Soul Eater's roar, and its huge figure emerged from the mist, staring down at the three of them, the cold light in its eyes revealing endless hunger and intense anger.

"Take your lives!"

The Soul Eater opened its ravine-like mouth wide, as if opening a black hole, and the strong wind swept everything in front of it into its mouth.

Black mist, dust, and souls... are not spared.

For a moment, Kahn felt his soul was pulled by a huge force, but it was blocked by the skin armor and stored safely in it.

It's just that the soul-devouring suction still exists, and the strong wind is pushing them into that abyss-like mouth.

"You like swallowing, don't you?" Kahn was sure, and began to release void energy in his palm to fabricate entities.

Kai'Sa and Sarah resisted the suction and launched a round of covering fire at Soul Eater, but most of the missiles were sucked into its mouth, and the remaining ones hit its rough-skinned and thick-skinned body with little effect.

After the fabrication was completed, a Void Spirit appeared under Kahn's subordinates, and he threw it at the Soul Eater. The Void Spirit twisted its blade feet frantically, and was swallowed whole by the Soul Eater.

As if he had tasted a taste completely different from flesh and blood, Soul Eater stopped his whale sucking, showed a puzzled expression, and stretched out his hand to pull it out to see what he had swallowed.

But before it touched the mouth, the strong purple light replaced the blue cold light in the mouth, and then it exploded in an instant twisting the terrifying and hungry beast shape.

There was no flesh and blood, just like a cloud of dust exploded, its huge body disintegrated into countless shimmering powders, forming a vortex of clouds and mist, resisting the absorption of the black mist.

"Could it be resurrection?" Sarah's face under the helmet was ugly.

Kahn couldn't tell for sure, but just stared at the cloud.

The blue cloud circled several times in the air, and then was pulled into long strips by an inexplicable force, and quickly receded towards the hillside.A howl of resentment tore through the air, was sent far away by the whirlwind, and finally returned to dead silence as if it had been covered.

Kai'Sa seemed to realize something, and quickly chased in the direction where the clouds and mist receded, leaving the two of them far away.

"What is she going to do?" Sarah looked puzzled at the direction Kai'Sa left. Isn't that the end of their exploration today?

"I don't know, follow up." For the first time in his life, Kahn didn't know what Kai'Sa was going to do. He hurriedly chased after him, hoping that Kai'Sa would not run into the city where the evil spirits were rampant.

On the edge of a cliff, they find Kai'Sa, who is walking down the mountain with a glowing object in her arms.

Because of this thing in her hand, she couldn't run fast, so she explained to Kahn after he approached.

"I followed the blue mist and found this from the ruins where the Soul Eater knocked over."

Kaisha handed the thing to Kahn. It was a two-palm-high crystal hourglass with exquisite brass brackets nested outside. The violent clouds and mist radiated blue light and swirled inside, moving back and forth non-stop, drilling from top to bottom. Down.

"It's sealed inside." Kahn said, "Thanks to you, otherwise we didn't know there was such a thing."

Kahn gently put down the hourglass, and Kaisha thought about it: "But this is not a good thing, how should we deal with it?"

"Put it in the secret vault." Kahn chuckled and said, "Didn't you want to see what the secret vault looked like last night? The opportunity is here."

"What is the secret vault?" Sarah coughed.

"Let's not talk about it, you will know when the time comes." Kai'Sa made a mischievous joke, and then helped Kahn pick up the lantern so that he could hold the crystal hourglass more stably. This thing looks very fragile.

"It's getting late, we have to go back before nightfall, let's go."

Chapter 3 Secret Library

Back on the beach, the boat with the siren mark was still reclined on the beach, just like when it came.

It's just that the sky has come to the evening, and standing outside the border of the black mist, you can see that the sun has already set low on the sea level, and is about to sink into another sky.

Kahn pushed the boat into the sea, and the three of them seized the time to board the boat one by one, removed the skin armor, and Sarah, who was empty in hand, was in charge of paddling.

There was a sudden hungry growl from his stomach.

"Hungry?" Kaisha looked at him suspiciously. It was the first time she heard Kahn's stomach growl, and she stretched out her cold hand to help him rub it.

It stands to reason that Fu Jia never makes the host hungry, but the feeling of hunger will always be there.

"I've had breakfast since morning, so it's normal to be hungry." Sarah stood and paddled, looking at all directions, watching the dangerous sea.She speeded up her paddling, frowned and said, "Be patient, you can eat when you go back."

Kahn didn't say anything, but just stared at the hourglass emitting blue light, and gradually frowned when he saw some red liquid oozing from the blurry glass surface, dripping down like blood.

As night fell, the boat was just on the rocky islet.

Fayette, the proprietress, saw them returning from a distance, and walked out of the tavern to wait on the pier.

"You can go and rest, I'll berth the boat." Fayette smiled enthusiastically.

"No, I'm not very tired." Sarah declined the kindness of the proprietress, and tied the cable to the stake by herself.

Kahn got on the pier. At this time, Fayette saw a glowing crystal hourglass in his hand, and immediately said: "The first time you hunt for treasure, you will get something. Is this the luck of a novice? Eh... this seems to be an unknown It looks like it's going to be locked in the secret vault."

Kaisha glanced at the proprietress in surprise, thinking that this person should have seen many treasures, and she is very accurate in seeing things.At least the word "off" is used very well.

"Can we have dinner?" Kasha asked.

She was asking on Kahn's behalf.

"I haven't made it yet. Generally, I have to wait until the number of people who come back is confirmed later before cooking. Otherwise, I will waste too much, and I will not be able to eat if I cook too little, which is troublesome." Fayette said.

"Oh." Kai'Sa looked at Kahn and found that his brows were wrinkled, as if dissatisfied with the hands in his hands.

"Let's go to the secret vault first," Kahn said.

"Be careful." Fayette walked ahead, dodging the rotting planks of the pier and the gaps in the bridge plank, then pushed open the unprofitable door, reminding Kahn of the high threshold, and walked through the empty The dining room, and finally to the main hall in the basement.

"Wait in the main hall." After she finished speaking, she slipped into the room of the secret vault, closing the door behind her.

"What is she doing? Guarding against us?" Sarah raised her eyebrows.

"I guess I don't want people to see where the keys are."

After waiting for a while, the door opened, and Fayette called several people in. When the three saw that the secret vault had been opened, they looked into it.

Rows of shelves were filled with glimmering antiquities, and cursed weapons filled the racks with faint, shrill groans.There is a circle of blue will-o'-the-wisps around the amulet hanging on the wall, and the rusty box next to it trembles, exuding the energy of a raging evil spirit.

The Vault is filled with items found by the residents of Fayette.This is the most important service that Fayette provides—a safe place to store treasures between search voyages.

Only by ensuring that the treasure they are searching for is not coveted by other hunters, can these hunters go out to find another treasure with peace of mind.

"Are these things dangerous?" Kai'Sa asked.

"No, it's very safe... I mean, they may be evil things themselves, but they can't harm anyone if they are placed in the secret vault." Fayette couldn't see much awe in the eyes of several people, and waved his hands: "I've lived on top of this thing for ten years, and I'm not dead yet!"

"But I usually don't let others come in and put things in person. Give me the hourglass, and I'll put it on the shelf for you." Fayette said to Kahn, motioning him to hand over the crystal hourglass to her.

Kahn passed the crystal hourglass over, but just when her hand was about to touch the red liquid seeping out of the hourglass glass, Kahn keenly noticed that her eyes were stained with blood.

He immediately retracted the hourglass and asked tentatively, "Are you okay? Do you want me to come?"

Fayette didn't answer, a strong feeling occupied her mind, she subconsciously covered her indented stomach.

She suddenly felt a craving for food, and she wanted to rush into the freezer to eat raw meat and drink a whole barrel of beer.She felt that her appetite had multiplied several times, and her stomach ached from the strong sense of hunger.

In the end, she suppressed the feeling, appalled at her own savagery.

Fayette looked at the hourglass in Kahn's hand again, focusing on the bloody liquid on the glass surface.Now when she closes her eyes, a bloody and terrifying scene will appear in her mind.

The butcher with the meat cleaver, the dismembered corpse, the blood on the ground, the mouth that swallowed...

The darkest magic is attached to this hourglass, and she should not touch it.

"You're right, you better come, I won't wear gloves." Fayette stepped aside, and Kahn nodded and stepped into the secret vault with the hourglass in hand.

He finally understood why his stomach growled.The hourglass in his hand exudes the hunger of a Soul Eater, a gluttony that affects the mind.And Kahn didn't feel much because he was used to hunger, but Fayette had a strong reaction as soon as he got close.

Kahn pulled his thoughts back. Behind him, he felt Fayette's falcon-like eyes staring at him, for fear that he would steal the things of the residents.

He acted very calmly, didn't take anything, but looked at the treasure next to him a few more times while looking for a suitable place to put it.

Karn set the crystal hourglass on the lower shelf and stepped back.Fayette didn't even give them another look. He put his shoulder against the door of the secret vault and pushed it shut.

The clicking sound of locking makes one's bones tremble.

"This secret vault has magic, and anyone who tries to force it open without the key will be killed. The first mate I hired died in front of the gate when I returned, and a few more died later. Thanks to them, let The safety of this secret vault has spread among the circle of treasure hunters."

Fayette said, let the three leave the basement, and she hid the key alone and came to the dining room.

"You can go upstairs and wait, it's not so early to cook."

"Oh." Kahn led the two back to the room, and when they passed the door, Sarah also felt something was wrong.

Apparently she smelled blood too.

Kahn closed the door, noticing that the next door was quite quiet, thinking that the vastaya had also gone out to hunt for treasure.

"We're just squeezed in this one room?" Sarah looked around, and immediately complained about the cramped room: "My God, I can stretch my legs directly onto your bed!"

Chapter 3

"You have so many demands, it would be nice to live in some."

Kahn raised his chin slightly at Sarah, and Kaisha knew what to do.She leaned over and whispered in Sarah's ear about the blood mage at the opposite door, and Sarah's voice immediately became softer.

She began to wonder why a thousand-year-old monster from Noxus came to sleep in such a place every day.

And after witnessing the black steel secret vault just now, she already has the answer in her heart.

Most of the ships returned later in the day with a few missing faces, but not yet counted as dead.

Their deaths cannot be confirmed unless someone sees their dead souls on the island.

Gavin and Kosk did not come back, Saba returned empty-handed, and a new face appeared, Cholera from Noxus, who was said to be a businessman.

When Kahn was upstairs, he vaguely heard some voices. She seemed to have brought back the treasure, and he heard the sound of the proprietress opening the secret vault.

During the meal, Vakul of Piltover complained to the proprietress about Vastaya scratching on his roof, and asked the proprietress to change rooms for Birdman, but the proprietress refused on the excuse of absence .

In addition, Cholera said that Kosk also sang the Ionian military song, and the content of the lyrics was all about how to slaughter her people, which prevented her from getting a good rest.

The problem is quite serious. If it wasn't for Kosk's absence, maybe they would fight.

The neighbors of the residents in the tavern seemed to be not very good, so Gaiwen and the proprietress walked closer, and Kahn watched all this silently while drinking orange juice.

Vakul walked towards them, and Sarah saw the intention of striking up a conversation, so she got up first and left the half-eaten dinner and went upstairs.

There was no entertainment in the tavern at night, and Kahn sat on the bed and meditated.The other two magic students chatted occasionally on another bed less than half a meter away, while listening to the conversations of other people in the tavern.As long as the helmet is covered, the voices in the dining room on the first floor can be heard.

It's just that no one talks about their secrets all the time.

When it was almost time, Kaisha returned to her bed and patted Kahn's thigh lightly.The latter understood immediately, and lay down on the spot after finishing meditation, willingly making a meat pad.

Kaisha lay down, rubbed herself to find a comfortable position, kissed goodnight, and pulled up the quilt.

Noticing Sarah's gaze, Kaisha also said good night to her.
