Runeterra: I really know a little bit about everything

Chapter 165 Accident!The imprisoned ancient god!
Heading west from the royal capital of Shurima, Zuochi and Nasus quickly approached the west edge of the Shurima continent.

Breaking through the vast yellow sand, the figures of Zuo Chi and Nasus jumped out of a rocky valley. After the two left the rocky valley, only countless corpses of sand bandits were left in the rocky valley.

Along the way, the two of them had killed countless waves of sand bandits besides rushing.

These bandits make a living by robbing passers-by, and countless innocent people have died in their hands.

The refugees dare not return to the Shurima Empire, and these sand bandits account for a large part of the reason.

But soon, Zuochi and Nasus discovered something that made them speechless. That was, the closer they got to Nerimajie where Xerath was, the fewer the number of sand bandits there were!
Zuo Chi looked at Nasus beside him with a strange expression:

"Xerath actually paid off the bandits near Nerimajie? I have to say that he really did a lot to win over people."

Hearing Zuo Chi's slightly teasing words, Nasus could only nodded dullly:
"It's not that your Majesty doesn't want to wipe out the sand bandits, but He Huangdu does not have enough manpower. After returning this time, I will ask your majesty for orders to personally lead the army to wipe out the sand bandits."

Zuo Chi naturally understood what Nasus said, so he didn't say much.

Gradually, Zuo Chi and Nasus got closer and closer to Nerimajie. It was also at this time that the energy obelisks they encountered began to become more and more dense. Sometimes there were even dozens of them in one area. An obelisk of energy.

These energy obelisks are located in the desert, constantly absorbing the limited energy of this continent, and then transmitting this energy to Nerimajie.

Nasus tried to destroy the energy obelisk several times, but he was stopped by Zuo Chi. Zuo Chi's reason for stopping him was also very simple. They were getting closer and closer to where Xerath was, so they rashly took action. It is very likely to alert the snake.

"Now is not the time. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to take action when the time comes." Zuo Chi said softly.

Facing Zuo Chi's words, Nasus only felt confused.

"Zuo Chi, do you have any plans?"

"It's very simple."

Zuo Chi grinned at Nasus: "Sneak in secretly, don't shoot. Find the Holy Emblem of the Sun, then turn around and run."

"This"

Nasus' tone was choked. He always felt that this method was inappropriate, but he couldn't think of any other better method.

"Zuo Chi, given the importance of the Holy Emblem of the Sun, it is absolutely impossible for Xerath to place it in a place where it can be easily found. We will probably be discovered by then. Once discovered, it means that we will definitely be besieged."

Zuo Chi nodded slightly: "I have also thought of this, so I will need to implement the next plan then."

"What?" Nasus asked.

Zuo Chi slashed the yellow sand in front of him with the long knife in his hand, and said softly: "Of course I will go find Xerath to fight, and then you will go find the Holy Emblem of the Sun."

Zuo Chi is well aware of the strength gap between Nasus and Xerath. Although Nasus is very strong, he will never be Xerath's opponent. If he were to lure Xerath away, he would probably There will be life danger.

Moreover, Zuo Chi did not understand the Holy Emblem of the Sun and could not accurately find the location of the Holy Emblem of the Sun. It was naturally the most appropriate for Nasus to find the Holy Emblem of the Sun.

However, when Nasus heard Zuo Chi's words, an inexplicable look of determination appeared in his eyes.

"Zuo Chi, thank you." Nasus said sincerely.

Zuo Chi smiled at him and shook his head: "I am doing this for myself."

Nasus' tone was still serious: "No matter who it is for, you are always doing something good for Shurima. For this reason alone, I will always remember your kindness."

"Okay, okay." Zuo Chi didn't hesitate any longer and chose Inessus.

In the following time, Zuo Chi and Nasus completely concealed their auras, and Nerimajie's towering city wall also appeared in their sight.

Looking at the blue sky in front of them, Zuo Chi and Nasus' breathing stopped for a moment.

Just in front of the two of them, various energy arrays were already spread on the original simple city wall. In the sky above the city, countless prismatic energy obelisks slowly rotated, receiving energy transmitted from all over the Shurima Desert. energy.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi said softly: "Does Xerath want to create something that can rival the sun disk? His ambition is not small."

Nasus remained silent, but his hand couldn't help but hold the war scepter a little tighter.

"The power of the Sun Disk comes from the sun, but Xerath is stealing the power of the Shurima Desert!"

Hearing Nasus' words, Zuo Chi just smiled and said nothing.

Soon, Zuo Chi and Nasus followed the refugees through the city gate of Nerimajie and successfully entered the city of Nerimajie.

Looking at it, Zuo Chi just wanted to say that if he hadn't known that Xerath was the one who rebelled, he would have felt that Nerimajie was more like the imperial capital than the imperial capital of Shurima.

Compared to the Royal Capital of Shurima, there are far more mortals in the city of Nerimajie, and there are even many more clamoring traders.

Wrapping their bodies in cloaks, Nasus and Zuo Chi rushed towards the center of Nerimajie, where Xerath's palace was located!
"Everything must go according to plan." Zuo Chi whispered: "And we can also take a look at what Xerath is tinkering with."

"Yeah!" Nasus nodded.

Looking at the palace in front of them that was constantly leaking out terrifying energy, Zuo Chi and Nasus fully concentrated their mental power.

Along the way, Zuochi and Nasus learned many things related to the followers of Xerath.

For example, outside the palace, there are very few mortals passing by here, and instead there are many strange individuals with parts of their bodies converted into arcane energy bodies.

These people are the lowest followers of Xerath - the followers of destruction.

They worshiped Xerath crazily, gained part of their power from Xerath, and their bodies were partially assimilated.

Compared with ordinary people, the power of these believers of destruction has been greatly increased.

In addition to the Destruction Believers, there is also a type of believers of the same level - the Immortal Believers.

The Immortal Believers are no longer humans, but Xerath has poured his power into the ancient artifacts in the emperor's tomb, transforming these ancient artifacts into spirits controlled by them.

On top of these two, there are Sand Viewers, who are responsible for helping Xerath explore locations suitable for placing energy obelisks; Ancient Sorcerers, powerful arcane energy mage; and the Wild Walkers Zuo Chi encountered before !
As for the higher ones, Zuo Chi and Nasus have not inquired about them. This is not a category that mortals can touch.

As Nasus and Zuochi learned more about Xerath's power structure, their hearts became heavier.

Both of them had to admit that for today's Shurima, Xerath was definitely an absolute formidable enemy.

With the help of Zuo Chi's rock magic, Zuo Chi and Nasus easily entered the palace.

It is said to be a palace, but it is actually just a complex of buildings surrounded by countless obelisks and altars, except that the number of energy obelisks in the center is larger and larger.

"Nasus, this place is so big, where are we going to find it?" Zuo Chi looked at Nasus helplessly.

Nasus whispered: "It is rumored that Xerath has built a huge and well-guarded underground treasure house in the center of the palace. If possible, the Holy Emblem of the Sun will definitely be there."

"Underground treasure house." Zuo Chi whispered softly.

After a moment, he nodded, and the two of them quickly shuttled between the buildings, constantly avoiding the patrols of the Destruction Believers and Sand Watchers, and getting closer to the central area of ​​the palace.

Gradually, the two of them could feel that the arcane energy surrounding them was becoming more and more violent, and they could even hear the sound of blue lightning beating.

Finally, Zuo Chi stopped rushing forward. In front of him, a huge altar with a radius of nearly a kilometer appeared, and this was the center of the entire palace!

"Zi! Zi! Zi!"

Hundreds of meters above the altar, a huge prismatic energy obelisk comparable in size to the sun's disk is slowly rotating, with dancing blue arcs surrounding it, constantly absorbing energy from all directions, and then dissipating this energy. It poured into the ground directly below the altar.

Around the altar, a large number of believers in destruction were constantly patrolling. The Sand Watcher with a huge eye on his forehead shook his body and scanned every corner around him.

Nasus and Zuochi both saw that just to the left of the altar, there was a deep tunnel that led directly to the ground. However, at the entrance of the tunnel, two arcane energy bodies were standing with their hands folded.

Desolate Walker - a being far more powerful than the Destruction Believer.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi and Nasus exchanged glances, and a solemn look flashed in their eyes.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for the two of them to successfully sneak into the tunnel ahead while avoiding the sight of so many people, but there is still a trace of luck in Zuo Chi's heart.

"Xerath is not in Nerimajie?"

Nasus shook his head in confusion: "Could it be under this altar?"

Both Zuochi and Nasus saw the massive energy that was transmitted under the altar, so Nasus guessed that Xerath should be under the altar at this time.

At this time, Zuo Chi tightened his grip on the long knife in his hand and looked at Nasus in front of him: "Let's do what we said before."

Nasus also understood that in the face of the predicament at hand, one person had to step forward to divert the guards in front, otherwise neither of them would be able to enter the treasure house under the altar.

However, looking at the nearly a thousand Destruction Believers in front of them, and the fact that Xerath is probably located under the altar and is as powerful as the top demigods, the person who chooses to stand up and attract firepower will undoubtedly face huge dangers .

And just when Zuo Chi was about to rush out to attract firepower as agreed with Nasus, his arm was suddenly held down by a hand.

"Zuo Chi, the power of ascension will guide you to find the Holy Emblem of the Sun."

Then, under Zuo Chi's confused gaze, Nasus stepped forward and rushed forward, and as he gradually moved forward, his body became larger and larger.

The violent power of ascension poured into his body, and his nearly 30-meter-ascension body immediately appeared!
"boom!"

The war scepter in Nasus' hand struck the ground heavily, and a soul circle with a radius of several hundred meters appeared immediately, and at the same time, his roar resounded throughout the world.

"Zerath, the disobedient, come out and die!" Zuo Chi: "???"

Ahead, the war scepter in Nasus's hand slashed at the Destruction Believers in front of him with a sweeping force. With just one blow, a large number of Destruction Believers were swept away.

While Nasus was busy killing and destroying the believers, the two Desolate Walkers who were always guarding the entrance of the tunnel looked at each other and then rushed towards this side.

Blue-white lightning whips extended from their arms and struck Nasus' body with powerful energy.

For a moment, the entire center of the palace was in complete chaos.

The sudden arrival of an ascended god was like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Nasus frantically vented his inner hatred.

Although the Desolate Walker was powerful, he still looked extremely immature in front of Nasus, the ascended god general. Soon, Nasus repelled the two of them, and Nasus smashed the scepter in his hand forward. huge altar.

And at the moment when Nasus' scepter was about to collide with the altar, an extremely violent force poured out from the tunnel under the altar like a floodgate. This force hit Nasus directly. On Si's body, his mountain-like body was directly knocked away.

Seeing this scene, Zuo Chi, who had always been hiding in the dark, was shocked. He knew that Xerath was really in Nerimajie's trap!
The next moment, Xerath's cunning voice sounded in the palace:
"Nasus, what? Are you ready to abandon that coward Azir and turn to me?"

"Xerath, lowly slave, you deserve to die!"

Nasus knew that he had to anger Xerath, because only in this way could Zuochi successfully enter the underground treasure house without telling everyone.

Sure enough, when Xerath heard the word "slave", he was like an enraged lynx, and his whole temperament began to become extremely depressing and terrifying.

"Let me guess Nasus. I guess Renekton must be hiding in a corner at this time. What are you here to do? Steal the Holy Emblem of the Sun? But I'm a little surprised that it's not your stupid brother. It’s you who attract me.”

As he spoke, Xerath's eyes scanned every corner in front of him.

And Zuo Chi had already completely integrated himself into the underground rocks the moment Zeras' words sounded.

When Nasus heard Xerath's words, he said with stern eyes:
"You'd better find Renekton's whereabouts as soon as possible, otherwise, you will always have a pair of fangs pointing at you from behind!"

"Ha ha."

Xerath smiled faintly, his tone full of ease and carefreeness, but also full of murderous intent:
"Just let him go, but I have prepared a big gift for him. But now, I need to hang your head on the gate of Nerimajie first!"

After Xerath's words fell, violent energy suddenly burst out from his hand and rushed straight towards Nasus. Nasus also did not stop and ran straight into Xerath.

As the two collided, the entire palace began to tremble violently, and the surrounding believers of destruction moved as far away from the fighting range of the two as possible, and could only launch some magic attacks from a distance.

And when everyone was looking for Renekton, what they didn't know was that a black stream of light had entered the deep tunnel through the cover of the rocks.
-
"Kakkaka!"

The wall of the underground treasure house suddenly cracked, and then Zuo Chi's figure flashed out of the crack.

Looking at the long tunnel in front of him, Zuo Chi's ears were constantly hearing roars from the ground. Without any hesitation, he opened his legs and rushed forward.

Although Nasus' sudden appearance was somewhat unexpected, based on his understanding of Nasus, it was reasonable for Nasus to do so.

All I can say is that this bachelor is a worthy friend.

Zuo Chi's figure kept flashing in the underground treasure house, and he could clearly feel that he was going deeper into the underground. At this time, the roaring in his ears had become weaker and weaker.

However, what puzzles Zuo Chi is that he has been wandering around this treasure house for so long, but he still has not sensed the "guidance of the power of ascension" mentioned by Nasus.

However, Zuo Chi did not give up and continued to search.

Suddenly, Zuo Chi's steps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look to his left side. There, Zuo Chi heard bursts of painful low roars and felt a very thick energy aura.

Zuo Chi frowned slightly. He didn't understand why there was such a sound in the underground treasure house.

And just as Zuo Chi was getting closer, there were sudden waves of inexplicable throbbing in his body.

"Ok?"

Zuo Chi raised his arms and looked at his hands doubtfully. He could feel that the power of ascension in his body was constantly stirring.

Realizing this, Zuo Chi rushed over there without any hesitation.

Zuo Chi fully unleashed his mental power and carefully examined every detail around him.

He knew that since he could come here so easily, there was absolutely no way he could easily take away the Holy Emblem of the Sun.

Gradually, Zuo Chi came to the end of the corridor, and an extremely huge underground space appeared in front of him.

Just like an underground square, the space in front of Zuo Chi is huge, and there are more than a dozen huge closed cages of different heights standing in this space.

These cages left no gaps at all, just like coffins standing in this space. Zuo Chi couldn't even feel the slightest breath in them.

The energy obelisk continued to rotate, drawing the energy from above and then transmitting it into these cages. The painful roar that Zuo Chi heard just now came from these cages.

Zuo Chi's gaze passed through the dozen cages and landed directly on the erected stone platform in the center of the space.

There, there was a strange object about the size of a palm and shaped like a sun disk.

Zuo Chi knew that it was the Holy Emblem of the Sun!

However, looking at the dozen cages in front of him, he always felt deeply uneasy in his heart.

From these energy obelisks, we can know that the energy gathered by the huge altar above the ground was not absorbed by Xerath at all, but was all poured into these cages!
So what is in these cages?

Is this the ultimate purpose of Xerath building these energy obelisks?
However, when he thought of Nasus who was fighting Xerath on the ground, Zuo Chi walked directly into the hall without hesitation.

"Tatata~!"

In the empty underground space, apart from the low roar coming from the cage, the only sound left was Zuo Chi's footsteps that kept echoing.

Finally, Zuo Chi passed through the wide space and came to the stone platform.

Looking at the Holy Emblem of the Sun lying quietly in the blue energy box in front of him, Zuo Chi's arm transformed into a blue-gold star, and then he stretched his arm into the surging arcane energy.

"Zi!Zi!"

Amidst bursts of burning sounds, Zuo Chi's arm slowly raised, and in his hand, the Holy Emblem of the Sun was constantly resonating with the power of ascension in his body.

A flash of joy flashed in Zuo Chi's eyes, and he immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction he came from.

However, almost as soon as Zuo Chi stepped out, a loud roar sounded in his ears.

Zuo Chi suddenly raised his head and looked forward, and then saw that a heavy stone door suddenly lowered at the entrance in front, completely sealing the only exit.

After that, a dense "click" sound began to come from Zuo Chi's ears, as if a mechanism had been triggered, or...
The cage is opened!
"!!!"

At this time, in the center of the underground space deep in Zuochi, around him, violent energy was escaping from more than a dozen cages at the same time.

Under Zuo Chi's gaze, all the cages were opened except for the largest cage on the far left. Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen figures with extremely ferocious shapes, filled with blue arcs of electricity, walked out of the cages. Look directly at Zuo Chi in the center area.

The moment these figures appeared, Zuo Chi's brows furrowed tightly.

Zuo Chi was too familiar with these figures, because he had encountered them not long ago in the battle with Zolani.

Bakai!

A Shurima warrior who failed to ascend and had major changes in strength and temperament.

However, Zuo Chi also discovered another thing, that is, the auras of these Bakai had undergone earth-shaking changes at this time, and even the remaining bit of consciousness was completely lost.

At this time, Zuochi suddenly remembered the energy obelisk beside him, and what he had said in a joke with Nasus before, "Xerath wants to build something similar to the sun disk."

Zuo Chi would never have thought that Xerath built the energy obelisk to transform these Bakai!
The violent torrent of energy rushed straight towards Zuo Chi, and the dozen Bakai turned their attention to Zuo Chi at the same time.

Zuo Chi held the long knife in his hand tightly. At this moment, the solemn look in his eyes was extremely strong.

He could feel that the power of these Bakai was no weaker than that of the ascended gods. Even without consciousness, they were more suitable for killing than the ascended gods!
But Zuo Chi also discovered one thing, that is, all the dozen cages around him were opened, but only the largest cage on his left was not opened.

Even when these Bakai appeared, a very dense and heavy impact sound began to be heard from the unopened cage.

However, the current situation obviously no longer allows Zuo Chi to think too much. He must now escape alive from the hands of these dozen Bakai!

"boom!"

The next moment, the ground beneath Zuo Chi collapsed instantly, and he turned into a stream of light and rushed straight towards the Bakai closest to him.

For a time, the entire underground space was completely filled with a blazing torrent of energy.

And while Zuo Chi was fighting with those Ba Kai, a figure in the largest cage was perseveringly hitting the cage.

Compared with those Bakai who had lost their minds, this figure's eyes were still very clear, and there was a firm color in his eyes that could not be erased.

Without any further thought, the turtle-like figure curled up and kept hitting the cage with its back full of huge spikes.

"roll!"
