Chapter 389 The Blood of Sivir Opens the Tomb of the Emperor
The endless hilly area.
The golden desert spreads out like an endless scroll, and the sand dunes of different heights undulate like waves, dotting the painting paper.
Looking from a distance, the outline of the sand dunes is extremely clear under the hot sunshine, and the wind-eroded rocks are scattered among the sand dunes like forest bamboos.
Sivir stayed in the shadow of the rocks, temporarily avoiding the scorching sun.
She looked up at the hanging sun. After carefully identifying the direction, she took out the iron pot she carried with her and took a sip of water to moisturize her dry lips.
"How long until we arrive?"
Huo Jixing looked at the unchanging environment around him, looked at the slightly tired Sivir, and asked.
Hearing the sound, Sivir turned his head and looked back at the Noxian who always kept clean, with a hint of envy in the corner of his eyes.
"Come on, cross the sand dunes ahead and walk a little further to get there."
Even though she was used to Shurima's scorching heat and pervasive sand, that didn't mean she liked it.
In comparison, she likes the rural style of the Kingdom of Demacia, the exquisite life of Piltover, and the cold frozen soil of Freljord.
Huo Jixing nodded, his eyes fell on Cassiopeia, and after receiving her confirmation look, he waited patiently.
After a short rest.
Sivir put down the iron pot in his hand. Water is the source of life, especially in the desert, every drop of water is particularly precious.
After confirming her belongings, she took everyone on her way to the center of the desert.
Perhaps aware that Sivir's injuries were not fully healed, Nasus took the wrong step and walked behind her this time, using his tall body to create a moving shadow.
Sivir was stunned for a moment, and when he turned to look at Nasus, the hard edge on his face softened a little.
Large stretches of sand dunes disappeared beside you, surrounded by rugged mountains and rocks.
In front of two mountain peaks that were almost reaching the sky, Sivir stopped, exhaled softly, and said in a condensed voice.
"We're here!"
Hearing this, Huo Jixing raised his eyes and looked up at the two heavily deserted mountain peaks in front of him.
They seem to be soldiers standing in this desert. Under the erosion of time, the mountain is covered with cracks, and sand and stones slip from the cracks from time to time, making a slight rustling sound.
The height of the mountain peak is also staggering, reaching straight into the sky, as if it is competing with the sky.
“Is this the location of the emperor’s tomb?”
Huo Ji was a little confused. These two peaks didn't look like ancient tombs.
Cassiopeia was one position behind Huo Jixing, with a trace of uneasiness and fear in her dark green eyes.
Her current changes are all because of this imperial tomb.
Sivir did not say much about the gods, and went to the foot of the mountain with Nasus.
Huo Jixing and Cassiopeia saw this and followed closely behind them to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of two sky-reaching peaks, a narrow mountain road appears at the intersection.
The mountain road is steep and extends downward. It is so dark that there is no end in sight.
Sivir took out the torch from his backpack, lit it, held the torch, and walked down.
Nasus casually took off the long-handled battle ax on his back and took a step back. He noticed the ancient traces left on both sides of the mountain road, and memories flashed in his eyes.
Cities submerged in the desert, arcane energy sweeping the world, and closed tombs.
"This is it, yes."
Nasus whispered in his heart, holding the ax handle tightly with both hands, and a purple glow suddenly appeared.
The fire of Nanli floated in front of Huo Jixing, driving away the darkness and guiding him in the direction.
He smelled a dark and secret power hiding in the air, something like the ancient magic used by Vikoula's sacrifices.
Cassiopeia swallowed, suppressed the fear in her heart, and did not dare to fall too far behind Huo Jixing. The dull sound of footsteps echoed in the winding mountain road.
The swaying firelight reflected Sivir's blue eyes.
Her breathing was a little rapid, and a tall, thin and majestic man appeared in her mind, wearing a golden armor robe and a helmet that looked like an eagle's beak.
This is the image that remained in her memory after she woke up.
Sivir had heard of Azir and the prophecy of his return, and had always thought that only fools would believe such illusions.
But when she explored the ancient tomb last time, she couldn't help but doubt that the prophecy was true.
Sivir stopped and looked at the looming thick stone gate at the end of the mountain road. He raised the torch and approached the mottled mountain wall.
Buzz! Buzz!
On the stone walls on both sides of the mountain road, bright yellow flames ignited instantly, as if countless fireflies were dancing in the darkness, illuminating the darkness ahead.
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows and stared straight at the heavy stone door.
The stone gate is engraved with complex patterns and ancient characters, which blend together to silently tell a dusty history.
Nasus walked forward quickly, stroking the thick stone door with his clawed left hand, his expression a little complicated.
"The Tomb of the Emperor!"
He closed his eyes and felt the familiar breath coming from the stone door, which was also the breath that he had escaped and regretted.
Seeing Nasus' movement, Huo Jixing's eyes flickered, and a red-golden glow lit up in his pupils.
[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!
Huo Jixing immediately stared at the emperor's tomb in front of him, a look of surprise appeared on his handsome face.
In the red-gold field of vision, no clouds could be seen rising.
It is as if this emperor's tomb does not exist at all, it is an empty desert.
But when he exited the state of [Red Eyes and Fire Eyes], he saw the Emperor's Tomb standing in front of him.
"Is it to avoid Suzaku's perception?"
Huo Jixing was thoughtful, a little worried about Catalina's safety, and put aside her relationship with him.
Katrina’s identity is too special, and her life and death are directly related to the empire’s reputation and strength.
"How to open it?" Huo Jixing asked.
"The Tomb of the Emperor is the greatest tomb in Shurima. Only the royal blood can open this stone door." Nasus regained his composure and replied softly.
After saying that, he turned his attention to Sivir who was walking over.
Huo Jixing followed Nasus' line of sight and looked at Sivir.
I learned from Nasus that Sivir is the only bloodline holder of the Desert Emperor Azir, which fully meets the requirements of the Stone Gate.
Sivir skillfully cut his fingertips with Chalikar, and a drop of golden blood fell on the stone door.
Seeing this, Cassiopeia looked a little uncertain.
She hired Sivir to enter this ancient tomb before, but she had never heard of blood being required to open the stone door.
Obviously, Sivir knew the specialness of this emperor’s tomb.
The employment at that time was nothing more than a transaction between the two parties.
Boom!
The golden-red blood flows along the patterns and lines of the stone gate, as if it is awakening the sleeping ancient power.
Immediately afterwards, bursts of golden light lit up on the stone gate, as bright as the scorching sun, illuminating the rugged mountain road.
In the strong light, the stone door slowly moved to both sides, making a heavy friction sound, revealing the earthy yellow passage behind it.
Sivir did not hesitate, took a deep breath and stepped directly in.
Nasus, Huo Jixing and others also walked in one after another.
