Legends of Runeterra

Unlike Piltover, the roads in Zaun have always been rugged and narrow, like a maze.

The two girls followed the boy's lead and took many twists and turns. Sometimes they were walking on a dirt road, but when they looked down they found a roof next to them.

Even with Caitlin's superb hunter skills, there were some routes she couldn't remember.

The inexplicable uneasiness in her heart made her ask: "Hey, how far is it?"

"It's just ahead, just around the corner!"

The boy pointed to a small alley not far ahead.

"Okay, Caitlin, let's hurry up!"

"Wait..."

Before she could finish her words, Caitlin saw Orianna running into the alley, following closely behind the boy.

"Yeah~!"

"Orianna!!"

There was a scream, and Caitlin picked up her rifle, turned on the safety and rushed over.

The clothes of the seven men were tattered, but the style was roughly the same. There were strange patterns tattooed on their exposed arms and necks. They were obviously thugs from an unknown gang in Zaun.

The boy slumped in the corner, and Orianna was pointed at by a tall and thin man with a rusty pistol.

When Caitlin was completely in the alley, two figures holding iron bars blocked her way back.

The two-meter-tall muscular man in the lead showed a cruel smile, leaned over and touched the boy's head: "Well done, little Jack!"

The boy's body trembled slightly and he buried his head in his knees and curled up.

"Hello, two lovely and kind ladies!" The big man stood up and bowed to the two of them in a weird way. "I wonder if I, Hans, will have a chance to invite you two for a cup of afternoon tea?"

"Wuhu~!"

"What a beautiful girl from Piltover!"

"Come on, have fun with us brothers!"

The thugs around started to scream and shout, and for a moment the scene seemed like a riot of demons.

"Release my friend. Tell me how much you want. Stop using these useless tricks!"

Catelyn glanced coldly at the crowd and tightened the spear in her hand.

"Money? No no no! We don't want money!"

"Then what are your conditions?"

"We want you..." Hans' words made Caitlin frown, "The spear in your hand! Such a sophisticated weapon is a good thing that cannot be bought in Zaun. With it, my territory can be expanded by a few more blocks!"

Hans stared at the spear in Caitlin's hand, his eyes full of greed.

"No, Caitlin! Don't agree to them. You can't get away without your gun! Just go away and leave me alone!"

Looking at the lustful eyes of the villains around her, Orianna remembered the tragic news about women from Piltover being abducted to Zaun. She couldn't help but tremble all over, but still reminded her friends loudly, fearing that Caitlyn would really agree to Hans.

"It's my fault. I was too impulsive. Go away!"

"This lady is a little noisy, Jason, let her be quiet!"

"Good boss!"

The tall and thin man chuckled, skillfully reversed the pistol, and hit Orianna on the back of the head with the butt of the gun.

"Pfft!"

Orianna fell face down on the ground.

"Anna! You bastard!"

Caitlin cursed, aiming the gun at Jason.

"rub!"

The sharp long knife was unsheathed and gently pressed against Orianna's slender neck.

"Don't get excited, Miss Caitlin! Jason just let her sleep for a while! But if you still point a gun at us, I can't guarantee that she will wake up!"

"You scum!"

Caitlin put down her gun and looked at the people behind her who were still wearing the masks distributed by Orianna, and cursed angrily.

Seeing this, Hans slowly stepped forward and said triumphantly: "This is the way to survive in Zaun. We have no choice! I just want this gun. For a rich girl from Piltover like you, it's just a novel toy, isn't it?"

"I can give you the gun, but you have to release my friend first!"

"Impossible! I know its power, and you are Miss Caitlin Gillamane, the champion of the hunting competition! Either give me the gun, or I will pick some small parts for your friend!"

"How about starting with her hand? Every ten seconds, I'll cut off one of her fingers until you agree on the location! Of course, you can also try to kill us all! Ten, nine..."

"Three, two, one! Jason!"

"Wait a minute! I promise!"

"Wise choice!"

Hans took the spear and moved aside, while Caitlin quickly ran to Orianna's side.

"Anna, wake up, are you okay?"

"Ahem, Caitlin..."

"Great, you're okay!"

Caitlyn helped Orianna up, and the two of them walked to the outside.

"Boss, look..."

"I'll leave it to you. Please handle it cleanly afterwards!"

Hans waved his hand, signaling his men not to disturb him.

"Alright!" Jason showed an excited and perverted smile, "Brothers, catch these two Piltover girls!"

"Ah! They're finally taking action! The cannon I've been waiting for is about to explode!"

"Hahaha! Great, this is the upper-class lady of Piltover!"

"I want to be the son-in-law of the Gilaman family too!"

"Run!"

Hearing the strange cry behind her, Caitlyn pulled Orianna and ran without looking back.

...

"System, open the panel!"

"Ding! Scanning...Scan completed!"

【Bond Strategy System】

【Name】Li En

[Race] Traveler

【Talent】Original Aspiration (only), Survival of the Fittest (only)

[Rank] Warrior (severely injured and not recovered)

[Bond Talent] Night Blade (Talon), Flash Step (Katerina)

[Abnormal Status] Void Corrosion: 12.4%

[Evaluation] Facing the void, you bravely attacked it. Although you had the help of [Survival of the Fittest], the void still eroded you all the time.

-----------------

"System, what is this 'Void Corrosion'?"

"Ding! This represents the progress of the host being assimilated into the void. When the progress reaches the limit, the host will be completely transformed into the void! This situation is extremely uncontrollable and there is a high possibility that the host will lose his current form. Please pay attention, host!"

"Okay, I get it! So how do I lower it?"

“Ding! Reduce or do not use the power of the void, [Survival of the Fittest] can in turn devour the void and reduce the progress of erosion!”

"Fuck, nb!"

Li En finally let go of his worries and realized that he was naked. Fortunately, he grabbed a blanket when he was teleported, thus avoiding running naked.

Although Zaun has its own customs, running naked in the street is still a bit too avant-garde.

Wrapped in a blanket, Li En walked on the street. The road conditions in Zaun were too complicated, and with so many twists and turns, he didn't know where he was. In addition, he hadn't seen anyone for a long time, so he couldn't even ask for directions.

"Chase after him!"

"Haha, you can't run away, little girl!"

Disorganized footsteps and frantic shouts came from a distance.

"Finally I met a living person. There are fewer people in this damn place called Zaun than in the Shurima Desert!"

Sensing that his physical condition was only slightly stronger than that of an ordinary person, Li En quietly moved over.
