he came from the void

If you encounter a sandstorm, you can let Scarash squat on the spot to prevent being blown down by the strong wind.At the beginning, he hid in the wooden house it carried with him, avoiding the wind and sand safely.

Although the storm has passed, the cold night has not passed.The two found a dead Populus euphratica tree, chopped it up and started a bonfire.Although the tree survived the storm, it did not survive the man-made disaster.However, if you can continue to create value after death, it is considered a worthy death.

The two of them sat beside the bonfire with blankets on to keep warm. When the cold wind blew, they were still shivering uncontrollably, but it was not a lot of fun to chat like this at night.

After resting for a night, when the camel woke up the next day, his mental state was much normal, so the two continued on the road.

Sandstorms don't happen every day, only the scorching sun is still scorching the earth.As a native of the desert, Kai'Sa has a strong sense of direction, leading Kahn to leave the vast desert smoothly.

Leaving the sea of ​​golden sand behind, Kai'Sa reached the small valley where they were born.

"It's here! We're back!" She happily dismounted from the camel, jumping up and down, just like the little girl back then.

She prefers to walk this section of the road, and it feels very different to step on the small roads in her hometown.

Seeing her like this, Kahn came down and led the camel, feeling down-to-earth and comfortable.Kaisha walked for a while and didn't forget to come back and hold Kahn's hand. The relationship between them has been recognized by the elders, and there is no need to hide it.

It's just that this joy changed quickly, and Kahn felt Kaisha's hand holding him squeezed and loosened, loosened and squeezed again.

"Are you already nervous enough to grab your hands?" Kahn suddenly joked.

Kai'Sa glanced at him, but didn't pick up the topic.She stopped, lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I haven't written a letter to my father in the past three years, and I don't know what happened to him. Are you blaming me?"

"This is something that can't be helped. Our whereabouts are uncertain, and this place is too remote, so we can't send letters here." Kahn began to comfort her, feeling timid due to being close to home, which is normal.

After all, this world does not have developed logistics and communication means like the earth, the dissemination of information is very limited, and many emotions cannot be conveyed.

Not only family letters are hard to return, but even love letters.

Carts, horses, and mail are all slow.

Only enough to love one person in a lifetime.

"Think about it differently. Uncle didn't know you were back, and suddenly saw you too happy, so how could he blame you?" Kahn took Kai'sa's hand, and the two started walking again.

"I hope so..."

In fact, Kahn is also quite nervous. He has been thinking about whether to change his name from uncle to Kassadin's father-in-law, but if he calls it that way, the other party will know that he and Kassa have already crossed that step.

……

Turning over the valley, Kahn saw the ruins of the village at a glance.

The former village, after being swallowed by the void, only quicksand and gravel remained. A huge crack in the ground foreshadowed the catastrophe that had suffered here.

"There's a house there. I remember it didn't exist before. Maybe it was built by my father." Kaisha pointed to a house in the corner of the valley, which was very conspicuous on the barren land.

"Go and have a look."

The two led the camels to the hut. Kahn saw a few sheep in the nearby sheep pen, and immediately confirmed that the room was inhabited.And Kaisha looked at these familiar animals, and seemed to recall some bad memories, and was in a trance.

He didn't say anything, just patted Kai'Sa on the shoulder to get her ready, and he came to the door and knocked on the wooden door.

"Is anyone here?"

"no one there?"

"Sorry, we're coming in."

Seeing that no one responded, Kahn pushed open the wooden door without authorization while being surprised.

The house is very tidy, it can be said that it is spotless, which is rare in this kind of place, and it also shows that this house is often taken care of.

"Father can't be wrong with this smell! This is the house where father lives." Kaisha walked in and looked around. Although she didn't see anything that could represent Kassadin, she recognized it through the remaining smell in the house. out of him.

"Where did he go?" Kai'Sa wanted to know where Kassadin would go alone.

"Maybe there are crops he planted nearby? Or he went out to cut grass and feed the sheep." Kahn replied.

If a person wants to survive, he must have a stable source of food and water, and planting is essential.

He vaguely remembered that before the accident, there was a special grassland for sheep.

"Are you going to find him?" Kasha asked Kahn. The latter glanced at the sky and replied, "It's getting dark, and uncle should be back when he goes out. We'd better put our luggage in and wait for him in the house." Come on, give him a surprise."

Under Kahn's suggestion, Kai'Sa obediently waited in the house until dark.But as time got later and later, she gradually began to be unable to sit still.

"It's been dark for a while, why hasn't father come back!" Kaisha paced back and forth in the room, restless.

"..." Kahn didn't know what was wrong, this kind of situation couldn't be a visit to a neighbor's house, he was the only one here, there was no one else.

"No, I don't worry, I'm going out to find him!" She suddenly slapped the table and decided, then put on the Void Skin Armor.

The sudden halo switched Kai'Sa's vision, allowing her to see the breath of Kassadin she had smelled before—the breath of a living person.

A few wisps of magic remained in the air, it was the magic light emanating from Kassadin.

It's faint, insignificant, but predators of the void can still feel it, and are attracted to it.

As a symbiont, Kai'Sa also felt these, and she left the house following these traces, rushing into the vast night.

Chapter 543 Walking Alone

Kai'Sa ran in the vast night, looking for the breath of life lingering in the air.

This imperceptible breath led her out of the valley, and in a place separated by a mountain, she actually saw traces of void creatures' activities!

A passage leading to the ground appeared before her eyes. The walls of the cave were pitted and pitted by void creatures, and the deposited vicious saliva glowed faintly in it.

The size of this passage is just enough for one person to pass through, and there are stones that have been artificially moved beside it. You can see an obvious dragging track extending to the top of the valley.

Kai'Sa stood still at the entrance for a long time, and Kahn rushed over behind him. Kai'Sa's terrifying speed left him far behind.

"There are still traces of void here!" He also noticed a strong breath of void emanating from the entrance of the cave, and there were a few wisps of life breath mixed in it, leading to the unknown depths of the ground.

Obviously, Kassadin definitely went down inside.

Kaisha stayed at the entrance to let Kahn catch up. Seeing that he had arrived, she got into the cave without saying a word.Seeing this, Kahn had no choice but to follow closely.

The naked eye is almost completely blind in this underground darkness, only the pod on Kai'Sa's shoulder glows faintly in the darkness.Thanks to the eyes of the void bestowed by the body armor, the darkness in front of them is presented in another form. Colors, phase differences, and light and shade that do not exist in nature form a new vision, allowing them to see the remaining breath of life in the darkness.

As the underground tunnel became wider, Kai'Sa's speed gradually increased, chasing the vivid color all the way forward.

Everything that was familiar and disgusting around her made her think about what had happened in this place over the past few years.

Kassadin lives here alone and wants to maintain self-sufficiency. Just thinking about it is already very difficult, and there are traces of void creature activities not far away... These void predators threaten him all the time If she was surrounded and attacked in her sleep, Kai'Sa couldn't even think about her safety.

……

In the darkest place under the world, Kassadin walked here alone, looking directly at its existence with human eyes through the precise lens on the helmet.

Crowds of Void Spirits have an unsatisfactory killing impulse, and their winding steps drag their sharp limbs, like a surging tide of annihilation. A little fresh flesh and blood is not enough for them to share food.

The void's hunger is never-ending, and no amount of matter can satisfy their abyssal appetites.

He was in a bitter fight.

An ethereal charged towards Kassadin, its horned shell and razor-sharp claws brushing past him, scraping against rocks with a sound that could be mistaken for crude armor being cut open.

Kassadin twisted to the side, breathed heavily through the tube on the mask, and swung the blade of the underworld to cut off Void Spirit's neck.The Void Spirit whose body and head were separated was still frantically twisting its sharp limbs, a mouth that was so cracked that its throat protruded, biting the air one by one, making a crackling sound.

It wasn't until Kassadin stabbed the blade of nothingness into the part that could be called the heart for other creatures that the separated corpses stopped moving at the same time, and the purple evil light in the eyes of the three clusters of needles gradually dimmed.

But this was just one of the countless crises he encountered underground, and the countless near-deaths and survivals constituted an extremely dark chapter in his life.

A dozen or so Void Spirits encircled in front, attacking Kassadin at the same time.There was a strong reaction from the blade of the underworld in his hand. As Kassadin swung the blade, the violent force surging in the blade of the underworld erupted, and a pulse of energy swept everything in the front fan!

The Void Spirits who were swept away exploded to death one after another, and the strange flesh and blood splashed around fell on the rocks like mud spots, making a sizzling sound of corrosion, and then emitted a daunting stench.

The Netherblade inspired a shield of light to protect Kassadin from the energy of the Void, as if it also hated the Void.The cave wall here has already begun to collapse after being hit by this blow. Kassadin turned and fled, the ground trembled angrily, and rock fragments fell from behind, blocking the tide of the ethereal spirit.

Kassadin glanced back and continued to run, knowing that this could only slightly hinder their pursuit.Like the beautiful curtain on the stage, it will be broken as soon as it is lifted.

……

The breath of life became more and more obvious, which indicated that Kassadin was getting closer and closer. After passing through a fork, Kai'Sa finally found the person she was looking for.

"Father!"

"daughter!"

At the bottom of the slope, she saw her long-missed father.Although one was shackled in a simple armor invented by himself at that time, and the other was wrapped under a horrifying living skin, the connection in the blood made them recognize each other immediately.

They ran towards each other and hugged each other heavily, unarmed each other's heads, sharing the joy of the moment.

"Why are you here?" Kassadin touched Kai'sa's head through the protective gear, the same way as ten years ago, treating her like a little girl.

"Kan and I came back to see you."

"Kan?"

"It's in the back."

Hearing someone calling him, Kahn quickened his pace and appeared in front of the father and daughter. Seeing that Kassadin was looking at him, he also nodded with a smile.

Seeing Kahn coming, Kassa let go of Kassadin, fully taking care of someone's feelings, but this small gesture made Kassadin realize that the daughter in front of him was no longer his exclusive little padded jacket.

He quickly calmed down from the excitement, and said to Kaisha seriously: "This is not a place to talk, let's leave first..."

"Wait!" Kahn interrupted Kassadin: "Father-in-law, I actually don't want to spoil the fun, but the bug swarm has already arrived, and if we don't deal with them here, it may lead to the ground."

Kahn could sense a large group of void monsters approaching not far away, and it was very difficult to get rid of them with speed.The magical aura in Kassadin's body dissipated into the air with his panting, leaving a guide for the monsters in the void. If they are not handled properly, they will come from all directions like desert flies discovering feces.

Kassadin remembered all the hard work he had built on the ground, nodded in agreement with Kahn's decision, and decided to stay and fight back.

"You come up first, we will fight here." Kahn stood at the top of the slope, letting Kaisha help the tired Kassadin to climb up, while he spread his hands and cracked his palms, releasing one after another. "firefly".

Chapter 544 Fighting the Insect Swarm

In Kahn's mind, countless points of light converged into a torrent of purple light, which gathered in one place and approached where they were.

The terrain they are in is a buffer zone between two passages, the bowl-shaped cave is upside down on the slope, and they are located above the slope waiting for the insect swarm to attack.

Gradually, the sound of turbulent crawling like a tide sounded in his ears. The distance was so close that he no longer needed to perceive it. Kahn opened his eyes and saw hundreds of hungry ethereals crawling out of the darkness, crawling out of the open space. Spread out on the slope.

The scene in front of him made Kahn look dignified. Even in his impression, beast hordes of this scale were rare.

"They are coming." Although not so clear, Kassadin saw the swarm approaching in the dark through the goggles.He sucked in a breath of cold air through the tube, and it felt like his lungs were freezing.

These are all attracted by him. If he encounters a swarm of insects in normal times, he will flee without hesitation, but now he is not fighting alone.

Beside him stood the only remaining family members, they were killed from the underground where hungry beasts were infested, and they had seen the real horror.

"Father, it's enough for me and Kahn to come." Kai'Sa let Kassadin stand at the end, they are the main force to deal with the swarm.

Although Kassadin didn't want to be old, it would be very troublesome to get into battle with his remaining physical strength.He rationally retreated to the rear. Once Kai'Sa started the offensive, standing in front would be as dangerous and obstructive as standing in front of the muzzle of a gun.

The number of ethereals pouring into the cave is extremely large, and the flickering light emitted by those pinhole-sized eyes alone is enough to illuminate the dark cave.They neighed harshly and rushed up the slope like a rising tide.

There was a sudden sound of flapping wings in the cave, and Kassadin looked up, and there were numerous void creatures similar to "fireflies" hanging above the cave.

Compared with Void Spirit, these flying beetles are very small, only the size of a fist, and their abnormally swollen abdomen almost occupies most of the body.This should be the image of some kind of insect that has been voided, but even he, who is well-informed, cannot recognize its prototype before being transformed by void energy.

These are all Kahn's masterpieces.

Under Kahn's control, these beetles began to flap their wings, making dense flapping sounds and buzzing.

As if setting off a chain reaction, the beetles' swollen abdomens began to glow, as if some kind of reactor had been ignited, making them look like flying purple balls of light.

Kahn took a deep breath trembling and clenched his hands into fists.The glowing beetles swooped down one after another, falling into the bug swarm below.

The confrontation between the two swarms started with a bang of explosions, dazzling light bloomed everywhere on the battlefield, purple slurry and strange flesh and blood splashed everywhere, and the acid rain of extinction actually fell in the cave.

The solid rock melted like wax, and Kassadin escaped death by ducking into the tunnel.The splashed blood fell on Karn's void skin armor, and was greedily absorbed by the clinging armor.

Void spirit swarms are being killed in large numbers. At the same time, the bombing of some self-demolition insects is not so precise. Some of them will collide with their own kind and die together.

"..."

Kahn was unable to correct these mistakes, and controlling the large group of beetles took up almost all of his energy.

These self-demolition bugs will not bite or sting. The purpose of their creation is to destroy, to explode at the end of life.Their structure is simple and brainless, and the mission Kahn entrusted to them when they were created was to crash into the nearest void creature.

But even if each one is easy to control, but in a huge number, the burden on energy will become extremely huge.

The self-destructive insects are also considered void creatures. Although Kahn would not be stupid enough to make such a low-level logical error, the density of the insect swarm is too high, and it is easy to hit it when he cannot have both quantity and precision. Together.

However, these impacts are not great. Self-demolition worms are originally one-time consumables, and wasting some is nothing more than killing some ethereals. Even sharpshooters will miss the target. Catch them all.

As long as the swarm doesn't get out of control and attack itself, that's enough.

Under Kahn's full control, the swarms of self-detonating insects have all completed their missions. Their fragile bodies have brought scorching destruction to the swarm of insects. Nearly half of the ethereals have been wiped out in the explosions one after another. His advance arrangements are effective. hit them hard.

Only now did Kahn have the energy to do other things.
