he came from the void

"Okay, then remember to save more for yourself."

Chapter 6 and three go deep into the bone marrow

The next day, Kahn took Taliyah to the entrance of the underground, planning to enter the underground for field investigation.And the rock that blocked the entrance was removed by Taliyah with her thoughts.

As soon as Fang approached, a daunting stench emanated from the cave, Taliyah couldn't help but wrinkled her stubby eyebrows, and took two steps back.

She looked at the two of them. Kahn and Kai'Sa had covered their skin armor, wrapping their whole bodies in a chitin carapace to keep out the stench.

Then she saw Kahn take out a strange-shaped mask for her to put on. This mask tightly covered her entire face. Taliyah felt that she would suffocate when she put it on, so she hesitated in her hand.

"This is the gas mask I brought back from Picheng. I don't know if it will work. But just to be on the safe side, you should wear it."

After listening to Kahn's words, Taliyah put on the mask obediently. She felt that her breathing became a little dull, but the smell she smelled was no longer so nauseating.Through the glass of her eyes, she saw the situation in the tunnel. On the sloped cave wall, there were pits and hollows corroded by void creatures. The vicious saliva deposited in it gave off faint light, and black smoke of dissolved substances came out.

"How do I get in here?" Taliyah asked a silly question.

"I suggest sliding." As he spoke, Kahn grabbed the rock wall with one hand and rushed into the depths of the inclined cave like a slide. The sound was elongated by the deep cave and echoed.Afterwards, Kai'Sa also disappeared in front of her eyes.

Naturally, it was impossible for Taliyah to rush in as fearlessly as they did. She stomped her feet, and a raised rock slab immediately pushed her off the ground. Then she looked at the hole that could only accommodate one person, and turned around. Lying on the rock slab, he gripped the edge of the rock slab with his hands very nervously, and drove the rock slab with his butt down along the hole all the way deep into the ground. The girl's screams echoed layer upon layer in the darkness.

After finally coming to a slightly calm place, Taliyah felt that she was about to lose her soul.When she gathers her energy and looks around, she finds that she can't see anything, and her naked eyes are almost completely blind in this dark underground.

She wanted the rock to tell them where they were, but just as she reached out her hand to touch the cold rock wall, the horrifying touch from the stone made her withdraw her hand in fright, with lingering fear in her heart.

A bone-deep ailment writhes in the rocks here, an all-consuming hunger that kills a thousand times at the slightest touch.Those things crawled past, their sharp limbs smoothed and widened the tunnel, and the place they touched was filled with a frightening stench, and even the air was distorted.

"Little master, sister Kaisha, where are you?" Taliyah shouted tremblingly in panic, very anxious.

"Here, look over here."

In the darkness, along with the sound, there was a strange purple light.

That was the light from Kai'Sa's cheek pouch. Although it was faint, it was enough to illuminate her figure.

"It's so scary here." Although Kai'Sa's appearance was also scary at this time, Taliyah still had the courage to get closer. Being alone in the dark made her even more flustered.

"Don't be afraid, you won't be in danger if you follow me closely."

"There are still dangers, but I won't let them hurt you," Kahn said.

Through void vision, he saw wisps of magic emanating into the air with Taliyah's flustered breath and frightened tears.Taliyah's magic power is thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people, and with the divergence of these strong magic auras, predators from the void will soon come.

This is exactly the purpose of him bringing Taliyah down, to use their characteristics respectively, first to lure the underground void creatures here and wipe them all out, and then let Taliyah fill it up, and it will be done once and for all.

The three of them came to a fork in the road and stopped to wait. Kahn asked Taliyah to get familiar with the terrain first, so they could do it later.

Taliyah put her hand on the ground again, feeling the deep pulse of the earth.Like an auscultation, as her thoughts sank deep into the ground, she remembered the landscape of the entire valley, and she knew exactly where there were bored tunnels.

Suddenly, a needle-like stinging pain emerged densely, and she felt as if thousands of ants were crawling over her body. Taliyah couldn't help pulling back her hand tremblingly, and rubbed the goose bumps on her arm vigorously.

"Here they come!" Taliyah yelled.

"Leave it to us, you find a place to hide."

Seeing the darkness around her, Taliyah didn't know where to hide. The rock under her feet swirled and covered her head, turning into a dome and completely covering her.

Kahn looked at this airtight small stone castle and couldn't help laughing.

"Aren't you afraid of suffocation? Well, the battle should be over before the air inside runs out."

In the darkness, the sound of crawling like a tide gradually sounded. Thousands of ethereal spirits were attracted here by the magical aura emanating from the air, gathering into a hungry tide.

Kahn crossed his arms, and the void skin armor on his wrists touched each other, making a dull blowing sound, allowing him to quickly enter the fighting state.

To get a fuller view, he stood on the stone citadel where Taliyah was hiding.

Under the control of the mind, the luminous lines on the skin armor began to extend and connect into a whole. The two pieces of skin armor that were not completely symmetrical were split and peeled off, suspended on both sides of his shoulders, and then extended into two miniature pods, and the muzzle throbbed With a violent purple black light, it flickered wildly in the darkness.

The light illuminated those sneaky figures in the darkness, their glowing eyes fixed on Kahn, and they fought back not to be outdone.

Karn saw hatred in these eyes, the void should not know hatred, but he felt that in their eyes he was something from their world, but at the same time must be destroyed.

"Do it." Thinking of this, he made a decisive move.

The pods spewed out powerful and deadly fire, and the plasma bombs whizzed and circled in the air, turning into Icacia rainstorms and falling into the black tide, causing scorching destruction.

With the sound of explosions, dazzling light exploded everywhere, purple slurry and strange flesh and blood sprayed and splashed everywhere, and an extinct acid rain unexpectedly fell from the ground.

No matter how eternal the rock is, it will melt in this evil contest. Taliyah feels the pain of the earth, the pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.She shivered in the confined space, and the whole valley trembled with her fear.

After darkness, there is light.

Taliyah's "eggshell" was opened, and she saw Kai'Sa's exposed face through the hole.

"Is this the end?" Taliyah looked surprised.

"Yeah, it's time to go back."

Under Kahn's deliberate acceleration, the battle ended quickly, and his firepower was verified to be sufficient to deal with a bug swarm of this size.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go." Taliyah, who crawled out of the eggshell, suddenly smelled an extremely strong and strange smell, which was a mixture of blood and burnt smell, which was indescribable.

She was suddenly thankful that she couldn't see the surrounding things in this dark underground, otherwise the stumps and pieces of flesh all over the ground would become her forever lingering shadow.

Chapter 6 and four

Undercurrents surged under the earth, and Taliyah frowned as she felt the trembling deep in the rock formation.Unknowable things crawled in it, rocks dissolved wherever they touched, and the underground cavity suddenly expanded.

In the darkness of the return journey, Taliyah watched Kai'Sa lightly kill the few remaining ethereals while telling her about things she didn't know.

"When we were your age, we found a human settlement built on the boundary where void creatures come and go." Kai'Sa's tone was quite sad, and Taliyah listened attentively.

"Not only did they not realize that they were in danger, but they left their sheep outside the door in an attempt to satisfy the appetites of the beasts. But one thing to know, the appetites of void creatures are insatiable and insatiable. They All you do to get rid of monsters is to ring a bell in the void."

"Aware of the danger, we came to the surface from the depths of the earth and tried to get the people in the settlement to leave this dangerous place. But people didn't follow our advice, and instead regarded us as monsters and drove them out of their villages."

"We had no choice but to destroy what was dear to them before the Void swallowed them all, and force the people to drive away. They didn't understand what we were up to, and left cursing, saying we had brought the Void... and While they flee from danger, we fight the void."

Having said that, Kai'Sa laughed at herself: "I'm so stupid."

"You are not stupid, sister, they are really stupid." Taliyah comforted: "If they don't evacuate, the whole village will die at the mouth of the monster. This is the result that can be known after a little thinking."

Kaisha glanced at her and said, "Now this situation has happened to me. My father is just like the group of villagers I met back then. He knew it was dangerous, but he just refused to leave. Tully Ya, do you think he is a fool?"

"Ah... I didn't say uncle is a fool!" Taliyah was stunned, she realized that she had dug a big hole for herself by speaking too fast.She hesitated for a long time, and finally turned her mind: "So...so I'm here! I'm here to help you solve this situation."

"I'm sorry, Taliyah. I've told my father, but he doesn't want to leave here. What can I do? I didn't expect him to be so stubborn." Kaisha sighed, life will not be everything As one wishes.This is her only relative, and she can only satisfy him as much as possible, and that's all he asks for.

"Fortunately, you are willing to help." Kai'Sa took Taliyah's hand together: "Thank you so much."

"It's okay, it's all as it should be." Taliyah smiled awkwardly, and scratched her ears embarrassingly.

They returned to the ground, and Taliyah was bathed in the sun again, feeling the texture of the hustle and bustle of the world above, and suddenly felt that life on the ground was really good.

The underground is cold and dark, and death and threats are everywhere, so let's destroy it quickly.

"Taliyah, can we do it now? Do you want to adjust your state first?" Kahn asked from the side.

"No, you can retreat to a more open place."

Taliyah, who was familiar with the underground situation, couldn't wait to fill it up. When the two moved away, Taliyah closed her eyes and pressed her palms on the ground to communicate with the power of the elements.

She imagined that the entire valley was a huge and fluffy ball of cotton, and she manipulated many needles, poking at the ball of cotton continuously, and tied it into a tight felt ball.

Taliyah has always used her talents in this way. First imagine what she is going to do as something she is familiar with. The more proficient the better, the needlework is the most familiar to her as a weaver. Her childhood was almost Contact every day.

It's an understatement, but when this scene is reflected in reality, it is enough to describe it as earth-shattering.

Under Taliyah's control, the power of the elements rampaged underground, causing violent earthquakes.The earth was sinking, and the collapsed stones blocked the tunnels for void creatures to come and go. Cracks occurred under Kahn's feet. His feet sank and his ankles were bitten by the cracks.

Kahn looked around, and the ground was broken into countless pieces like a shattered puzzle. The land under their feet was only ten square meters in size, while the surrounding pieces were even smaller.

Then, these broken rocks began to fuse.Rocks from different formations and materials began to squeeze each other, and their textures were cleverly stitched together to form new textures, twists and turns, like splashes.

They were tightly twisted together like towels, forming a new whole, and they could no longer be separated from each other.And the cavities that were once all over the ground were squeezed out and tamped down like air in a bubble.

When the earthquake subsided, the horizon could be seen by the naked eye by as much as two or three meters, and the landform of the entire valley had undergone considerable changes.

Exhausted, Taliyah sat on the ground, sweating like she'd just run a marathon.But when she saw her achievements, she suddenly felt that it was all worth it.

"Hiss... the danger is cleared, I have compacted the underground cavity, and no void creatures will pass through here for a while." Taliyah smiled out of breath, like a leaking blower .

"Thank you for your hard work, let's rest first."

Kaisha helped Taliyah to the wall, handed the water bag to her hand, and watched her gulp down the water.A person's arms will become sore and weak if he keeps twisting the towel for a long time, not to mention that Taliyah's spell targets an entire valley.

"Finally, I can explain." Taliyah heaved a sigh of relief, the blush on her face hadn't faded yet.

"Well done, Taliyah." Kahn and Kaisa smiled at each other, and Qiqi looked at Taliyah, and they could give Kassadin an explanation.

They took Taliyah back to share the joy, and Kassadin gave Taliyah half a bottle of the Healing Spring in return.

Taliyah didn't dare to accept such an expensive thing at first, Kahn was kind to her, she should come to help, but then Kassadin made her change her mind after saying a word.

The family is the biggest weakness of this girl. Even if she doesn't need it very much, her clan members don't necessarily need it.There are about a hundred people in the weaver tribe, and there will only be more and more in the future. No one is sure when this spring will be used to save lives.

After much celebration, Taliyah went out to divert the river the next day.

She saw that Kassadin had to run out of the valley every day to fetch water from the tributary of the Mother of Life, and it took more than ten kilometers to go back and forth.Therefore, the idea of ​​dividing the river into a tributary and letting it flow directly into the valley was born.

Chapter 6 and five across Noxus

After introducing the river water into the valley, it was much more convenient for Kassadin to drink by himself or irrigate the fields. He only needed to go out and walk a hundred or so steps.

The river flows through the valley, and the shadows of fish swimming can occasionally be seen in the clear water.Kassadin was very happy to see it, and has already started making fishing tools.

And after irrigating with the diluted Fountain of Life, Kassadin's cultivated fields also regained some fertility, and the crops he planted grew tenderly.

What is even more rare is that a ewe in the sheep pen is pregnant.After a period of time to wait for it to give birth, the family will grow a lot, and Kassadin's life will improve a lot.

There are vegetables and meat, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing.

But this kind of comfortable life is only suitable for him, a person who has seen big winds and waves and wants to return to the pastoral life.After living in the small valley for a few days, Taliyah mentioned that she was going back to her people.

"We should go too, and send Taliyah off by the way." Karn said to Kai'Sa.

"Let me say a few words to my father."

After the father and daughter hugged each other and said goodbye, Kasha reluctantly followed Kahn and left the valley. She thought sadly that she would have to experience such a scene many times.

The three of them followed the mother of life to Vikola and parted ways. Taliyah slid on the rock slab and continued westward, while Kahn and Kaisha turned around and headed north on camels.

They took a trading merchant ship in Nashiram America to the town of Stonewall across the sea, and from Shurima came to another continent-Valoran.

This route was the route Kahn had previously planned for Taliyah, and now they will follow this route, from the southernmost point to the northernmost point, across the territory of Noxus to the Freljord.

The pier in Stonewall Town is not big, but it has city-level fortifications, and its city walls are as fortified as the town's name sounds.

After queuing up at the pier and being inspected by the guards along with the goods, the two entered this small town in the south of Noxus.

The red flag unfurled in the dry wind. As soon as they entered the town, they could smell the smell of molten iron, and the wind was mixed with the smell of soot and workshops.Kahn suddenly remembered what the Ionians described to the Noxus—the smell of cinders.The Noxians themselves have a saying that no forge in Noxus is cold.

This shows from the side how well-developed the forging industry of Noxus is. Even a small border town can produce weapons and helmets around the clock.Noxus' army is so powerful because it has sophisticated armaments that can make every soldier armed to the teeth.

Kaisha is a foodie. Compared with Kahn, her nose has a different smell, and the smell of soot in the wind is selectively ignored by her.

"I smell wheat flour," she said, dragging Kahn toward the center of town.

The roads in the towns of Noxus are very smooth, with floor tiles laid neatly on every corner, to allow the carriages to pass smoothly.

Kaisha followed the scent and dragged Kahn into an alley, and stopped in front of a cake stand.

"I heard from Taliyah that the burritos in Noxus are delicious." Kaisha crossed her arms, put a finger against the corner of her mouth, and tilted her head to look at Kahn beside her.

"Buy it if you want it." Kahn understood what she meant, took out the coins and asked the boss for two burritos, and then watched him spread the crusts on the spot.

The store in front of me has an interesting design, the storefront is low and claustrophobic, and the sun-shading canopy on the top can tightly seal the facade.He looked around, and the surrounding buildings were almost all in this solemn style.

The streets are narrow and claustrophobic, and even the eaves have wall stacks. Even the humble housing will be built like a fortress, which is very suitable for defensive operations.

"Thank you."

Kai'Sa on the side didn't pay much attention to the environment, her attention was all on the food.When the boss finished wrapping the burrito with oiled paper, she immediately reached out to grab it from his hand and eagerly took a bite.

"Delicious! Taliyah really didn't lie to me." She chewed and made a vague sound, unexpectedly cute.Then he took a bite of Kahn's share and forced it into the speechless Kahn's hand.

"I'll try to see if it tastes the same." Kai'Sa didn't blush, and stared at Kahn until he bit down on the part he had bitten, and then satisfactorily swallowed the chewed piece of meat in his mouth. go down.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

"This meat sauce is actually spicy." Kahn took a bite and felt that it was already a bit hot.
