Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 116 Monster Ranch Riot!Big-eyed tentacle monster!
The huge ice phoenix spread its wings, as if endless ice magic surged out from under her wings, completely enveloping the entire city.

These storms and ice crystals seemed to be guided by some kind of guidance. They did not harm others at all, but just went straight towards Zuo Chi's right hand.

In Freljord, iceborn like Ashe and Sejuani possess powerful ice magic because they have ice blood.

As the ancient god in charge of ice, snow and the cycle of life and death, Anivia's power is different from everyone else's, and her magic power has gone far beyond the scope of ice magic.

Perfect ice magic!

As the creator of Perfect Ice, Anivia can summon the extremely terrifying power of Perfect Ice with just a few movements of her hands.

This is the power of a certain law, the same as Ornn's First Fire and Volibear's First Thunder.

Waves of cold current rushed towards Zuo Chi's palm, and the strange flame on his palm that made everyone helpless actually began to dim and eventually slowly extinguished.

The flames dissipated, and bursts of white smoke floated in front of Zuo Chi. At the same time, his palms covered with cracks and burn marks were exposed to everyone.

Looking at his palms, Zuo Chi couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Although he had thought that the backlash of the world runes would be terrifying, he did not expect it to be so terrifying.

Zuo Chi was even sure that if Anivia hadn't come today, he would have paid a huge price just to extinguish the flame, or even lose his hand completely.

At the same time, this seems to confirm something from another aspect, that is, how powerful the big bald man who has completely integrated rune magic is!
Zuo Chi only used part of his power to become like this, but that person possessed many world runes at the same time, and he had held them for nearly a thousand years.

Putting his thoughts back, Zuo Chi looked up at the ice crystal phoenix Anivia in the sky.

"Anivia, thank you."

Anivia descended from the sky, folded her wings and stood on top of the ruins. Her ice-blue eyes looked at Zuo Chi curiously.

"Human, you are very special. Apart from the three sisters, you are the first human to defeat Volibear."

A wry smile appeared on Zuo Chi's face: "It's just barely resisting. It can't be said to be a failure. If it hadn't been for the coming of Qin, I'm afraid not many of us would have survived."

Anivia did not refute Zuo Chi's words because she knew Volibear better than anyone else.

He and Iron Mountain Boar Idhowug are both fighting madmen, but Volibear is even more outrageous than Idhowug, because he will hardly show any mercy to humans.

As long as you can kill, there will be absolutely no reservations.

On the contrary, Idhowug just wanted to fight, and he was not very committed to the ancient path that Volibear believed in.

"Don't mess with the Ursines."

Anivia fluttered her wings and glanced at Ashe and Sejuani, as if to warn them.

Faced with the reminder from the God of Ice and Snow, Ashe and Sejuani nodded respectfully.

Anivia looked at Zuochi again: "Human, the runes in your hand are very strong, but if you are forced to do so, you should use them as little as possible. You are not like that person, whose body has been transformed by rune magic. And you didn’t.”

"Huh?" Zuo Chi suddenly looked at Anivia, his eyes moving.

"Anivia, do you know Ryze?"

"There was a relationship."

Anivia nodded her huge head: "The rune in your hand comes from an abyss in the far north of Freljord, northwest of the Sea of ​​Ice. It was Ryze who found it and took him out of it. The tentacle monster snatched it from his hands."

"!!"

Hearing this, Zuo Chi was completely shocked.

Northwest of the Ice Sea.
The Sea of ​​Ice is located in the northernmost part of the entire Runeterra territory. If the Sea of ​​Ice goes further north, apart from the islands where the Bear Tribe lives, there seems to be only an unknown continent.

And there’s the tentacle monster that Anivia talks about.
Is it void?Are there still void creatures in the north of Freljord?

Seemingly not noticing Zuo Chi's doubts, Anivia continued: "I remember Ryze took this rune to the interior of Freljord. I didn't expect it to end up in your hands."

At this point, Zuo Chi could already put the whole story together.

Ryze discovered the world rune - red in the far north of Freljord. After that, he took the world rune to the interior of Freljord, where he accepted Brand as his disciple, but Brand failed to withstand the temptation of the world runes and was completely swallowed up by the world runes.

Ryze was temporarily repelled by Brand holding the World Rune, while Brand wandered the Runeterra with the World Rune.

Until some time ago, Zuo Chi happened to break into the battle scene between Brand and Syndra.
Thinking about it this way, Zuo Chi's process of obtaining the world runes was really a coincidence.

As if not caring about the world runes, Anivia looked at the sky with scattered snowflakes, her wings spread out.

"Try not to use its power unless absolutely necessary."

"Humans, we will meet again."

After saying these last words, Anivia's sun-blocking figure rose straight into the sky, flying all the way towards the ice and snow mountain.

The purpose of her trip was just to stop Volibear from killing innocent people. Her purpose had been achieved, so naturally it was time to leave.

Anivia will prevent other ancient gods from taking action against humans, but she will not pay attention to the internal affairs of humans.

Under the watchful eyes of Zuo Chi and his party, Anivia's figure quickly disappeared into the western sky.

By this time, all the dust had finally settled.

The ruins were very quiet at this time, and no one spoke except for the occasional frost wolf growl.

Everyone's eyes were on Zuo Chi.

In the end, it was Sejuani who spoke first: "Zuo Chi, you saved me again."

Zuo Chi turned to look at Sejuani and shook his head gently: "Ashe and I just came here to take a look. If we can help, we will help."

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Sejuani couldn't help but look at Ashe beside him.

At this time, Ai Xi was standing next to Zuo Chi, holding Zuo Chi's hand covered with burn marks in his palm, looking at him with a distressed look on his face.

Hearing Zuochi and Sejuani mention her, Ashe moved her eyes away from Zuochi's hand and looked at Sejuani.

"."

The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, but neither of them spoke.

However, the meanings in their eyes at this time were completely different.

Sejuani: This is what you said you should keep for me!We haven't seen each other for two days and it's already cooked?Okay, okay, you're so timid, right? I'll go to the kitchen and get you some money!

Ai Xi: I don’t know what you are talking about. Zuo Chi and I are in love with each other. Don’t try to steal love!

It could be seen that Ai Xi felt guilty to some extent. After all, she was indeed at fault for this matter. However, looking at Zuo Chi in front of her, she still looked at Sejuani without giving in.

Zuo Chi seemed to be aware of the uncomfortable atmosphere between the two, and quickly changed the topic.

"Sejuani, with this operation, you should have enough supplies, right?"

This is very important, because it is related to whether Zuo Chi can fulfill Sejuani's wish.

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Sejuani's eyes suddenly dimmed a bit. She looked at the bag on Steel Mane's back and didn't know how to speak for a moment.

In the end, it was Udyr next to Sejuani who said: "I don't know why there are not many guards in this city, and there are also very few supplies. Although we have found them all, it is still a drop in the bucket for Winter's Claw."

Regarding the result that Udyr said, Zuo Chi was a little surprised and helpless. He never expected that the road to helping Sejuani realize her dream would be so difficult.

This has already involved the two ancient gods, but it has not yet been completed.

But Zuo Chi didn't complain about anything, he just nodded: "We'll think of a way later, use these supplies for a while first."

"Let's go back first." Sejuani said softly: "The women and children in the tribe are waiting for us."

After the words fell, Sejuani took the lead in getting on Steelmane's back and gave the command to Winter's Claw to retreat.

She no longer wanted to stay any longer, because the longer she stayed, the more regret she would feel.

In addition, even after taking the last road, she still couldn't find enough supplies, and the pressure in her heart was as heavy as a mountain.

All Sejuani wants now is to return to the tribe and find a way to keep Winter's Claw alive.

Zuo Chi waved to Sejuani: "Sejuani, I will visit Winter's Claw after I think of a solution."

Sejuani's back paused, but she did not stop and led the Winter's Claw towards the west.

Behind Sejuani, Udyr's expression was equally heavy.

He originally thought that after returning from Ionia, he had the ability to protect Sejuani and the power to stop Winter's Claw from starving.

But just when he faced Volibear, he only felt the powerlessness of an ant shaking a mountain.

This is not what Udyr wants. As one of the few spirit walkers in Freljord who has not been assimilated into a bearman by Volibear, Udyr knows that he needs stronger power.

He needs to get in touch with stronger beast spirits, such as other ancient gods besides Volibear!
Only then can he gain the power to rival Volibear.

The matter finally came to an end. Zuo Chi looked up at the sky and let the snowflakes hit his face.

How can we help Winter's Claw survive this winter?

"Zuo Chi." Ai Xi called softly: "What are you thinking about?"

Zuo Chi took Ai Xi's hand and asked as he walked out of the ruins: "Ai Xi, does our tribe need to worry about supplies?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Ai Xi nodded: "Although it's not as serious as Winter's Claw, our supplies are indeed somewhat scarce. But if we use them sparingly, we should have no problem getting through this winter."

Zuo Chi asked curiously: "We live in Freljord, why do we have enough food?"

"Because our tribe is located in the south of Freljord, except for winter, the temperature in other seasons is not too low, and we can cultivate fields. With the accumulation of food, we can naturally survive the winter."

As Ai Xi spoke, a hint of pride flashed in her bright eyes: "These are all precious treasures left by our ancestors."

"What about Winter's Claw?" Zuo Chi tilted his head and looked at Ai Xi: "Don't they farm?"

"Their land is very barren, and most of it is covered with rocks under the snow, making it impossible to cultivate. It would take a lot of effort to peel off the rock layers." Ai Xi patiently explained: "That's right. Because of this, the Winter's Claws will gradually transform into a hunting tribe.

But it has to be said that this kind of folk custom makes the Winter's Claw very powerful, and every tribe member is a powerful hunter.If it weren't for this winter, maybe they would only get stronger. "

Listening to Ai Xi's explanation, Zuo Chi had a clear understanding of why Winter's Claw was facing such a crisis.

It wasn't just the cold, it turned out there was also a problem with the environment they were in.

Nothing but snow and rocks
Suddenly, Zuo Chi's body shook, and he seemed to have thought of a way to let Winter's Claw farm!

However, this approach seems to have many obstacles.
Allowing crops to grow in extremely low temperature environments is nothing more than providing them with a warm environment, fertile and moist soil, and sufficient light.

As for soil, Zuo Chi is still confident that he can get it.

The difficult part is just a warm environment and enough light.

In the Freljord, generally you can only rely on dry wood and charcoal fires for heating.

But these two things, just like food, are extremely valuable survival resources.

If you want to use dry firewood or charcoal fire to provide heat and light for crops, the gain outweighs the loss.

Where can I find something that is both warm and glowing, long-lasting and common?
After thinking in vain, Zuo Chi took back his thoughts and held Ai Xi's hand.

"Zuo Chi, have you thought of anything?" Ai Xi asked curiously.

"Wait until I get back and tell you."

Zuo Chi pinched Ai Xi's cheek, held her waist, and rose into the sky.

In the following time, Zuo Chi and Ai Xi flew all the way towards the center of the Avarosa tribe.

The doubts in their hearts were lifted, and Ai Xi and Zuo Chi were no longer in the same hurry as before on their way back.

The couple wandered around, looking here and there. Ai Xi was patiently telling Zuo Chi about the Avarosa tribe, while Zuo Chi was a little hungry. He was still eating while listening to Ai Xi's explanation. Tofu.

Along the way, Ai Xi's voice when explaining Zuo Chi became softer and softer, and her face became redder and redder.

Finally, when Ai Xi's head was almost steaming, the two finally rushed back to the tribe.

After returning to the station, Zuo Chi took Ai Xi's hand and said seriously: "Ai Xi, ask the tribe members to pay attention to the feces of those large beasts when they go out, and then help me free up a tent. , it’s better to be bigger, there’s no need to prepare anything inside.”

"Hey?"

Hearing Zuo Chi's words, Ai Xi was immediately confused.

"Zuo Chi, what do you want these for?"

"You will know by then. It is useless to tell you now, because even I am not sure whether it can be done."

"Hmm~"

Looking at Zuo Chi's serious look, Ai Xi nodded: "I'll have someone prepare it right now."

After Ai Xi left, Zuo Chi stood in Avarosa's station and looked at the tribe members running back and forth. He was still thinking about the feasibility of that method.

However, no matter whether this method works or not, it is not something that can be effective overnight.

It's a pity that Zuo Chi has not yet helped Maokai realize his dream and has not been able to obtain his abilities.

With the help of Maokai's ability, Zuochi is extremely confident that he can establish a smooth and stable relationship between the Avarosa tribe and the Winter's Claw tribe.

In this cruel land, if the food problem can be completely solved, it will undoubtedly reduce most of the conflicts.

While Zuo Chi was still thinking, a very hurried figure ran quickly from a distance and came straight to Zuo Chi's side.

It's Sigra, Ashe's war sacrifice.

"Blood Alliance, where is the War Mother?"

Zuo Chi pursed his lips and said, "I just came back and went to arrange things. What's wrong?"

Sigela did not hesitate at all and said quickly: "Just now news came from the west of the tribe. I don't know what happened in the monster ranch adjacent to the tribe. The large beasts in it suddenly went crazy, rushed out of the monster ranch, and broke into the surrounding affiliated tribes. and the village. They suffered heavy casualties and asked us for help."

"Um!?"

Hearing Xigela's words, Zuo Chi's body couldn't help but pause.

Hearing about Monster Ranch, Zuochi couldn't help but recall Bron's figure again.

Zuo Chi clearly remembered that the reason why Bronn went to sea to find the water of life was to help the children who were infected with the plague in the villages near the monster ranch.

How long has it been since the plague?Why did the Warcraft riot start again?

I just don’t know if Bron is still there now.

Thinking of this, Zuo Chi nodded to Sigela: "I'll go and talk to Ai Xi, and then I'll go over there."

After hearing Zuo Chi's words, Sigela thanked Zuo Chi and left quickly. She still needed to appease those people from the tribe who came to ask for help.

Zuo Chi didn't hesitate and walked straight to where Ai Xi was.

In the open space behind the station, Ai Xi was giving orders to the people in the tribe who were responsible for collecting wood to collect wild beast dung. Seeing Zuo Chi arriving, Ai Xi trotted towards him.

Zuo Chi directly repeated what Sigela had just said to Ai Xi.

"Ai Xi, let me go. I'm also going to find a friend by the way."

Ai Xi grabbed Zuo Chi's arm with some worry: "Zuo Chi, there has never been a case of a beast escaping from the Monster Ranch for so long. You must be careful."

Zuo Chi nodded and joked: "Can't all those beasts be the same as Volibear? I can't beat Volibear, so why can't I beat them."

"Hmm~"

Ai Xi felt that Zuo Chi was quite right.

With Zuo Chi's strength, it should be no problem to crush the beasts in Monster Ranch.

Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, she looked at Zuo Chi curiously: "Zuo Chi, do you have a friend near the Monster Ranch? Is he in danger?"

"I don't know if he's still there, go look for him, and"

Zuo Chi winked at Ai Xi: "If possible, I will trick him into our tribe and let him join the Avarosa tribe."

"Um"

Ai Xi didn't say much about this. After all, the Avarosa tribe had already accepted so many tribes, both strong and weak, and there weren't many more Zuochi friends.

Moreover, Ai Xi suddenly discovered that it felt really good to have someone helping her.

If it were before, she would definitely be arranging matters within the tribe while going to the Monster Ranch to provide support.

But it was different now. Zuo Chi really gave Ai Xi a strong sense of security.

Raising his hand to rub Ai Xi's hair, Zuo Chi looked to the west.

"Then I'll set off and be back soon."

"Pay attention to safety, and if you encounter any problems, just ask someone to come back for help."

Rising into the sky from the center of the Avarosa tribe, Zuochi heads straight to the west.

I was originally planning to study planting crops, but now it seems I can only put it off for a while.

However, Zuo Chi did not object to this trip. On the contrary, Zuo Chi was extremely curious about this so-called reserve granary of the Bear Tribe.

Monster Ranch is located in the west of the Avarosa Tribe, in the central and eastern part of the Freljord continent.

According to Bronn, this is the exclusive hunting ground of the Ursine tribe. There are countless powerful beasts in it, and each monster is not something that ordinary Freljord warriors can contend with.

The Bear Tribe will come to the Monster Ranch every once in a while. While hunting prey there, they can also hone their own strength, maintain peak condition at all times, and prepare for wars that may occur at any time.

It has to be said that what Volibear has prepared for the Ursines is really no different from the war he is in charge of.

I just don’t know why the monsters in Monster Ranch suddenly rioted?

On the other side, west of the Avarosa tribe, Monster Ranch.

In order to help the bear tribe build a hunting ground to hone their will and fighting strength, Volibear used his creation power to smash a huge basin with a radius of nearly a hundred miles in the middle of the Freljord.

There are many towering peaks standing on the edge of the basin, with complex thunder marks engraved on them. It is these powers originating from the God of Thunder that completely lock the beasts in the Monster Ranch.

On the other hand, Monster Ranch is a beast paradise that is isolated from the outside world and has its own laws.

The beasts in Monster Ranch cannot escape from Monster Ranch, and outside creatures will not enter Monster Ranch unless they want to die.

But today, the peak with many thunder marks to the west of Monster Ranch was suddenly shrouded in a strange purple energy.

This energy gradually erased those thunder marks and quickly spread towards the monster ranch.

All the beasts that were contaminated by this energy turned their eyes blood-red in an instant, and they kept roaring while staring at all the living creatures around them.

The ferocious beasts that used to live in peace and quiet in their own corner suddenly broke into each other's territory and began to fight each other crazily.

Soon, a scene like purgatory on earth appeared in Monster Ranch.

In the rich and pungent smell of blood, the beasts' eyes turned to the mountain peak whose thunder mark had been erased.

As if being led by a pair of big hands, they rushed outside the Monster Ranch without hesitation.

And just as a large number of beasts rushed out of the Monster Ranch, an extremely strange figure flashed past the Monster Ranch.

This figure only has a huge head. A huge purple eyeball on the head is shining with a strange light. Under the head, there are countless thick tentacles!
