The Glory of Noxus.

The falling snowflakes covered the rocks and roads, piling up a thick layer of snow, making the already difficult mountain road even more rugged.

The biting cold wind blew towards us, taking away all the warmth and leaving only the biting cold.

This is the harsh test that the Iron Thorn Mountains give to people.

Survival of the fittest, natural selection.

Simple and cruel rules of survival.

Only those who can find a way to survive in this harsh environment can gain a foothold in the Iron Thorn Mountains.

Huo Jixing and his group were like a twisted blood-red snake, moving slowly along the mountain road, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.

As they approached their destination, Huo Jixing's expression became increasingly gloomy.

He had already opened his red eyes and fire pupils, but at this moment, he could not see any clouds appearing in his field of vision.

Huo Jixing let out a light breath, and with a gloomy expression he continued to move forward with Kelie and others, leaving a series of deep footprints on the thick snow.

Looking down from the sky, they seemed like the only survivors in this white world.

About half an hour later.

Huo Jixing and his group came to a steep valley. Looking from a distance, they could vaguely see dark gray buildings buried in the valley.

He immediately extended his spiritual power, ignoring the obstruction of the wind and snow, and fell towards the dark gray buildings in the distance.

"Kid, what's wrong?"

Kled, who was following behind, saw Huo Jixing suddenly stop and patted the head of Skarr under him, signaling it not to move.

Huo Jixing turned around, shook his head slightly at Kelei, and said in a serious tone: "The village is empty, there is no one inside."

This is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.

On the way here, they came across several villages with similar situations.

Where there should be the smell of life, there are only empty villages and deserted houses.

The villagers living here disappeared without a trace, as if they were swallowed by ice and snow.

Kled frowned. He had seen what he had seen along the way and realized that this was most likely an action by the old god Volibear and the bear monsters.

"Go and take a look first."

Huo Jixing nodded, a cold look flashing in his eyes.

Afterwards, the group, led by Huo Jixing, slowly walked towards the village in the distance.

Deep in the silent valley, a snow-covered village came into view.

Perhaps because the snow had not been cleared for a long time, thick snow piled up in the village. Only the dark gray stone houses built against the mountain could barely poke their heads out of the snow.

Moreover, it had not been cleaned for a long time, and frost had frozen the doors and window grilles together.

From a distance, these stone houses look like lifelike and exquisite ice sculptures, standing quietly in the valley.

Under Huo Jixing's order, the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry immediately dismounted and quickly entered the village in teams of five.

They were wearing blood-red armor, holding sharp swords, and scanning the harsh environment around them with vigilance.

Every step forward was taken with great caution, and the heavy footsteps made a dull sound on the accumulated snow.

Although Huo Jixing had already searched inside and out, he did not stop the actions of the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.

Perhaps there are some invisible clues hidden in the village.

The Noxian Scarlet Cavalry searched the village stone houses in small teams, not leaving any traces.

Unfortunately, no matter how carefully they searched, they did not get the clues they wanted.

Kled rode Skaarl, left the search team, and came to the mountains north of the village.

The snow was too thick, burying half of the Desert Dragon Lizard's body, causing Skarr to shake his body uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Kled pulled the reins tightly, steadied his body, stood on Skarr's back, and scanned the almost identical environment nearby with his left eye.

"Damn the old god Volibear, damn those bear monsters." Kled looked at the gray sky with disgust, then looked away.

"Boys, go look around, we'll rest here tonight."

Hearing Kled's voice, the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry finished their carpet search of the village and began to move outward.

In the snow-white valley, the bloody red color dyes the surrounding environment, breaking the silent atmosphere here.

Until night fell, the sky gradually darkened.

The Noxian bloody cavalry came back one after another, bringing a little noise and vitality to the quiet village.

Whoops! Whoops!

The cold wind hit the walls and windows as if it were real, making a whimpering sound.

Huo Jixing stood in front of the window, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, and couldn't help but recall his experiences in the north.

Squeak!

Klei pushed open the door and felt the warmth inside the room, his expression paused.

Then he walked quickly towards Huo Jixing.

"Boy, something's going on."

Huo Jixing immediately turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you? What happened?"

Facing Huo Jixing's questioning, Klei grinned, with murderous intent flashing in his left eye.

"Blood stains!"

Walking north along the valley village, about ten miles away, there is a hilly area with piles of rocks.

The orange light of the torches lit up, driving away the winter darkness and illuminating the fully armed Noxian scarlet cavalry.

They stood guard among a pile of broken stones with grim expressions, looking around vigilantly.

Suddenly!

Gusts of cold wind blew quickly, bringing the sound of subtle footsteps.

These sounds came from the darkness and immediately attracted the attention of the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.

"who?"

The Noxian blood cavalry at the front clenched their swords and roared in a low voice.

"it's me!"

Huo Jixing took a step out of the darkness, and the might in his red-gold eyes made the remaining Noxian blood cavalrymen salute him one after another.

He passed the tight formation of cavalry, came to the broken stones, and looked at the eye-catching bloodstains in the middle.

Its color appeared particularly deep red in the moonlight, almost seeping into the cold stone.

Not only this place, there are also some less obvious bloodstains nearby.

This was not left behind by the bear monsters.

It's the blood of ordinary people.

Huo Jixing half-knelt, staring at the coagulated crimson blood, his eyes flickering.

"General Krey, please take them back first."

He stood up and spoke to Kled and Skarr who were following behind him.

"I'll go take a look around."

Klei was about to say something, but when he saw the red-gold wings spread out behind Huo Jixing, he shrugged helplessly.

This little guy's personality is somewhat similar to Darius's, and he possesses extraordinary determination.

No one else can stop him from making any decision.

"Be careful and don't act rashly." Klei warned.

Huo Jixing laughed softly, his laughter revealing his fearlessness and self-confidence.

Then, the red-gold wings flapped, carrying him straight into the sky and piercing through the darkness.

"Let's go back."

Kled withdrew his gaze and left the hills with the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.

Their backs gradually walked away and disappeared into the night.

High in the sky, the icy cold air was almost solid, as if it was about to freeze the clouds into an ice field.

However, Huo Jixing ignored the biting cold and spread his wings to soar among the mountains.

He expanded the search area step by step, centered on the hilly area.

The spiritual power extended to the extreme, like an invisible net, covering the mountains.

The red-gold wings danced in the air, and every flap brought scorching heat that melted the frozen clouds.

"Found you!"

Suddenly, Huo Jixing's eyes focused as he looked at the many light gray clouds hidden among the mountains.

It’s the cloud of bear monsters!

He secretly estimated that this place was dozens of miles away from the valley village, and the terrain was rugged, making it difficult to walk.

Huo Jixing became more and more certain when he thought of the hideous bodies and sharp claws of the bear monsters.

It is difficult for ordinary people to walk, but it is very easy for them.

Huo Jixing hid the red-gold wings behind him and sneaked in silently in the direction of the clouds.

The hunter found his prey.

The hunt begins!

In the embrace of the snow-capped mountains, a sunken valley is like a huge stone bowl, embedded in the chest of the earth.

The surrounding mountain walls are as smooth as mirrors, and have been carefully carved after being eroded by wind and snow.

The only mountain road leading into the valley is covered with gravel and snow.

There are also insane bear monsters wandering around nearby.

They look like soldiers, but have lost their former glory and dignity and become monsters imprisoned here.

There was no reason in their eyes, only madness, warning any creature that dared to approach.

In the dim starlight, you can see that the valley is filled with huge crimson rocks.

In addition to these strange stones, there is also a strong smell of blood that permeates the valley.

Crunch!Crunch!

The sound of teeth gnawing on flesh echoed in the silent air, making people shudder.

The hungry bear monsters picked up something from near the crimson stone and stuffed it into their mouths.

The spraying liquid infected the hideous and ugly furry bodies, covering them with a bloody coat.

"Ok?"

At the edge of the valley, a bear-man monster that was gnawing on flesh and blood seemed to see something unusual and stopped what he was doing.

It looked up at the sky; the gray color dispelled its doubts, allowing it to continue concentrating on gnawing on the flesh in its hands.

Seeing that the flesh and blood had been almost eaten, the bear monster picked up another piece of meat shaped like a human thigh and continued to enjoy it.

It bit the piece of meat hard, as if it wanted to taste every inch.

Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and dripped onto the ground, interweaving with the surrounding bloodstains to form a strange picture.

"Sacrifice to the gods?"

Above the clouds, Huo Jixing looked down at the bloody environment in the valley below with a frown.

The so-called crimson stones are huge rocks stained with blood.

Around the stones, there were piles of broken human corpses, and the flowing blood poured into the ground, forming unknown patterns.

Black branches and roots grew out of each corpse, which were somewhat similar to the hideous bodies of the bear monsters.

These black branches and roots grew out of the corpse, intertwining and covering unknown patterns.

"This power!"

"It's the breath of the old god Volibear."

Huo Jixing's spiritual power sensed the wild breath surging in the air, which was corroding the bear monsters.

This aura bears the mark of the old god Volibear.

After Huo Jixing's observation, he found that although Volibear's wild aura existed, it was very thin.

"It looks like this is just a small sacrificial site."

"But you guys!"

Huo Jixing looked at the bear monsters who were still enjoying the flesh and blood in his field of vision, and murmured to himself.

These bear monsters seemed unaware of Huo Jixing's existence and were still immersed in the joy of flesh and blood.

"You shouldn't use Noxian flesh and blood for sacrifice!"

boom!

The red-gold flame shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the valley, as if to engulf the world in its heat.

The bear monsters wandering in the valley felt the scorching breath melting the cold and burning their bodies.

Amid the chaotic roars, the eyes of the bear monsters were filled with fear and anxiety.

They looked around, trying to find the source of the sudden fire.

And above their field of vision.

Huo Jixing appeared in the valley riding on waves of fire, like a god descending to the earth.

Suzaku·Nanli Fire!

He had no pity or mercy and directly summoned the red-gold flames.

In the dark sky, rolling waves of flames poured into the valley like molten lava, causing the sky and earth to change color.

Faced with such a horrific attack, the bear monsters had no way to dodge and could only let the flames fall on their bodies.

They tried to wave their claws to put out the flames on their bodies, but found that they could not do it no matter what.

The black hair was burned away, and the remaining branches and roots on the body melted away instantly.

The Nanli Fire continued to burn, and the wailing of the bear monsters gradually weakened, and finally disappeared in the blazing sea of ​​fire.

When the last bear monster melted in the sea of ​​fire, the valley suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Huo Jixing stood on the wave of flames, looking coldly at the bloody pattern in the center of the valley.

Under the burning of Nanli Fire, the blood-colored pattern still exists, but it looks much dimmer.

Buzz!Buzz!

The aura of Volibear, which was supposed to be floating in the air, was drawn and fell into the blood-colored pattern.

In an instant, a strange blood-red light lit up in the valley, intending to compete with the Nanli Fire.

Roar!

A dull roar like thunder exploded, shaking the valley.

A blood-red light bloomed, and a giant bear-like body condensed out of thin air, with the blood wriggling inside like maggots.

This is the manifestation of Volibear's aura left in the valley, possessing a tiny will.

Gradually, the bloody giant bear solidified, and more than a dozen new eyes appeared, each of which was as dark and cold as the spider's eyes.

He looked at Huo Jixing who was riding on the waves of fire and roared. He raised his palms and slapped them down fiercely with deep purple thunder.

"Thunder, the power of the immortal thunder!"

Huo Jixing calmly watched the thunder power raging in the clouds and slowly raised his right hand.

The falling thunder suddenly got out of control and lingered on his fingertips.

"Ah!"

Huo Jixing chuckled, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Volibear.

Compared to Volibear's huge body, he looks extremely weak.

But the thunder at his fingertips released a terrifying destructive force at this moment.

Click!

The deep purple lightning cut through the darkness, pierced through the cold wind of the valley, and hit the bloody giant bear body of Volibear.

"I also control the power of thunder."

Huo Jixing spoke softly, staring at the will of Volibear in front of him.
