After passing through a deep and dark tunnel, the view in front of me suddenly opened up.

This is a rare open space.

Above the clearing was a very narrow slope, which was also the only passage. The clearing was surrounded by rock walls that looked smooth but were actually very rough. The rock walls seemed to be a little damp, and the air was filled with a damp and cold atmosphere.

A faint green evil light flickered faintly on the rock wall.

Looking in the direction where the light came from, there were things with outlines similar to tree roots growing in the surrounding rock walls.

But both Zhang Xu and Kasa knew very well in their hearts that this was definitely not a tree root.

Although this place is close to the surface, it should still be some distance away from the surface. Moreover, this is a void land, and there is no way that tree roots can penetrate deeply here.

The greater possibility is that it is an unknown void creature.

Under this slightly eerie light, Kassa approached cautiously.

She had already prepared herself to be attacked by these 'roots', and the wings on her back opened slightly without her noticing.

If there is any abnormal movement of these 'roots', she will turn around and run without hesitation!

But strangely, the expected attack did not happen.

Kassa successfully walked to the front of the rock wall and saw the full picture of these "roots".

These 'roots' were intertwined and pale and gray, like tree roots rooted in the ground. Although Kassa didn't choose to touch them, she still felt a chill just by looking at them.

This feeling can be clearly felt even though Kassadin's body is completely covered with armor.

This kind of coldness can even penetrate into the bones, making people shiver uncontrollably.

Weird and lifeless, these two words are the best to describe these roots.

Something so full of death could never be any kind of life.

It is also unlikely to be a void creature.

Otherwise, if it sensed the breath of living beings like Zhang Xu and Kasa, even if it was sleeping at the moment, it would wake up at an unimaginable speed and attack the two of them.

"What is this?"

Kassa stared blankly at the tangled roots on the rock wall, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

In the previous six years of hunting, she had never seen anything like it.

This thing...is it a hernia?

Zhang Xu frowned, and kept recalling similar records in his mind.

As far as I can remember, it seems that only the hernia can be equated with what is in front of me.

The Hernia is located on the edge of Icathia and is proof that the Void has broken out from the ground.

According to legend, this is something that has been passed down from the ancient Shurima period. Although it has been dormant for thousands of years and looks lifeless, its nature is extremely violent.

It only takes one drop of blood to completely expose its true nature.

Moreover, its body is actually much larger than it appears.

The hernia exposed outside the rock wall is only a small part of it, and the larger body is hidden in the thick rock wall.

In other words, they have become one.

Seeing the ground hernia seemed to prove that the two of them had indeed left the underground cave world and were very close to the surface. As long as they continued to move up along this high slope, they should be able to reach the surface soon.

Of course, the outside world is now completely shrouded in darkness, swallowed by the void and becoming a part of it.

In the past, all residents of the villages would die without exception.

They had to travel a long distance above the surface before they could reach the entrance to the real void.

"This thing should be a hernia. It has existed since the ancient Shurima period. Icathia probably wanted to use it to borrow the power of the void to complete her armed uprising, but she didn't expect it to be a move to invite a wolf into the house. The void invaded the surface from the underground world and eroded this land. The hernia also became the proof that the void broke out of the ground."

Hearing this, Kassa was slightly stunned.

Is this how the invasion of the void begins?

Although she was somewhat surprised by this matter, Kasa was even more surprised that Zhang Xu knew so much about it.

This story, which even she, a native of a corner of the Shurima continent, had never heard of, was understood so thoroughly by Zhang Xu, an outsider.

Kassa shook her head and didn't dwell on this issue anymore, but took another step forward.

The hands wrapped in the scales slowly raised up, as if wanting to touch the 'roots' in front of him.

But Zhang Xu was startled by Kasa's actions.

Even if the hernia is not so easily awakened, there is no need for me to be so bold, right?

Once the hernia is really awakened, the two of them will definitely be in trouble!

Although he had some confidence in his own strength and was able to deal with most void creatures, Zhang Xu was not arrogant enough to deal with such things.

An ancient thing like the ground hernia is definitely not something he can handle now.

Kassa's hand did not touch the 'roots', but was retracted in time.

"Since we have already seen the hernia, it proves that we are getting closer and closer to the surface, right?" Kasa muttered to herself, "It also means that the real danger is about to come."

Since the void has invaded the surface from the underground world and completed the erosion and devouring of the entire Icathia, then those void creatures that originally lived in the underground world should have invaded the surface along with the void.

The dangers existing on the surface of the earth at this moment might be far beyond her imagination.

Compared to the void spirits in the underground world, the void creatures above the surface are likely to be more powerful and more terrifying.

"Probably. If we go up a little further, we should be able to reach the surface. However, it's probably still a long way to the entrance to the void."

"Let's go on."

Kassa's expression became firm again, and the helmet appeared on her head again, covering her face and isolating her expression.

No matter what kind of threats exist on the surface, no matter how dangerous the void creatures there are, she will go to the surface!

Even if there are numerous difficulties and dangers ahead, she must find the entrance to the void land!

Leave the void and return to the outside world!

Returning to the real world from the void, fighting for the dead who were swallowed by the void, and protecting the people of Runeland from the harm of void creatures, this is the mission she gave herself!

I come back for those who can't come back!
