Chapter 409 Bloody Warning of Ghosts in the Village
In Piltover, the name of explorer Ezreal is well-known.
Even though the Explorers Guild has rejected Ezreal’s membership application many times in a row.
But it is generally believed that the loss of Ezreal is the Explorers Guild's loss, not Ezreal's loss.
According to the information that Shyamala knows, the heir to his chamber of commerce, Master Jarl, admires Ezreal very much.
The adventurer's dream was born and put into action because of Ezreal.
Later, in order to follow the traces of Ezreal, Jarl went deep into many dangerous places and ancient tombs in the Shurima continent more than ten times to search for ancient holy objects.
"I'm sorry, dear Mr. Ezreal, it was my slip of the tongue just now."
Shamara stood up quickly and apologized to Ezreal, with a cold look on her face. A look of embarrassment.
"It's okay, I understand the distress in your position. After all, everyone wants to take away gold from Shurima."
Ezreal smiled, and his sun-like smile brought refreshing warmth against his handsome face.
“Come and sit together.”
Huo Jixing saw the two of them becoming polite and directly invited Ezreal to sit over.
Ezreal accepted it readily and sat in the seat of the Myrdalda Chamber of Commerce, his eyes filled with curiosity under his blond hair.
"Ezreal, Ms. Shyamala just introduced me."
After the unexpected meeting in the tavern last night, he felt that Huo Jixing was very extraordinary.
At that moment, his Shurima gauntlet actually fluctuated. This was a warning that could only occur when encountering a powerful transcendent.
This made Ezreal have a strong interest in Huo Jixing.
Is such a powerful transcendent coming to a remote southern village also interested in the forgotten land of Icathia?
The meeting again at this banquet also made him understand the fate between the two.
"Charles, advisor to the Myrdalda family."
Huo Jixing raised the corner of his mouth, stared at Ezreal in front of him, and introduced himself.
He believes in destiny and believes that every encounter is not accidental.
The two encounters with Ezreal were destined to intersect in the rock village.
Since we can’t live without it now, let’s take a look at what happened in the rock village?
Could the shocking disappearance have something to do with the forgotten land of Icathia?
"Mr. Charles, the meeting in the tavern last night left a deep impression on me." Ezreal said frankly.
"I rarely meet people who can make my gauntlets fluctuate, and you are one of the few."
Huo Jixing narrowed his eyes slightly, he was extremely He knew that his strength had already reached the level of legend, and with the help of the abilities given by the stars, he was well hidden.
Even so, Ezreal can still sense his strength.
Even with the help of his own magic rune items, it shows that Ezreal is not simple.
Huo Jixing likes his straightforward character very much and is willing to communicate with such a person.
"Mr. Ezreal, you also left a deep impression on me." Huo Jixing responded.
"I have heard your name in Piltover, and Jarl has often mentioned you in my ears."
" Jarl is the member of the Myrdalda family. "Bit?" Ezreal's eyes lit up and he spoke in surprise.
He had a very good impression of the heir to the Myrdalda family. He was unique in his bizarre missions and generous bonuses.
Huo Jixing nodded slightly, and smiled at each other, as if they had known each other for many years.
While they were chatting, they had already attracted the attention of people around them.
Myrdalda Chamber of Commerce and explorer Ezreal are staying together. Has a secret cooperation been reached between the two?
They were curious and went up to ask.
After all, they are in a rock village and don't know how things will develop. The most important thing for them now is to unite more forces and survive.
But they were forced by the power of the Midarda Chamber of Commerce and could only wait in secret.
Da da! Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
In the bright yellow light of the bonfire, the sound of dense footsteps seemed like the drumbeats of the tribal crowd, gradually approaching.
After a moment, a group of figures walked out from the edge of the bonfire and entered the banquet area.
The leader was an unusually old and skinny old man with dark skin and a sun mark engraved on his bare upper body.
That is the mark representing the sun disk, symbolizing light and hope.
The old man's eyes were deep and bright, and he walked towards the high platform step by step.
Following the old man were two Ixtal mages wearing dark green hoods and robes.
Their robes shone with a mysterious luster under the firelight, and the emerald green staffs they held lit up with emerald green light, like spring buds, full of vitality and vitality.
The last person who walked in was a middle-aged man. He was dressed similarly to the old man in front of him, but he was very strong.
Looking from a distance, the middle-aged man looked extremely serious, somewhat like a hawk watching a wolf, and he had an icy aura.
Huo Jixing and Ezreal stood up after Shamara and looked at the group of people walking towards them.
He was not interested in the three people in front of him. His eyes fell on the middle-aged man at the back, his brows raised slightly, thoughtfully.
“The one at the front is Elder Faisal, who has a high reputation in the rock village and can be said to be the real person in charge of existence.”
"The first person sitting on the left is the mages from Ixtal. They are stationed in the rock village all year round, and from time to time they enter the forgotten land of Icathia to search for void materials."
Shamara is in Huo In Jixing's ears, everyone in the rock village was introduced one by one.
“The first one on the right is Elder Belvis, who is also the elder of Rock Village.”
“According to the ancient tradition of the village, he should be the successor carefully cultivated by Faisal, and he will be the successor in the future. Take charge of the rock village."
Huo Jixing nodded, and then they sat down again at the signal of Elder Faisal.
"Everyone, welcome to tonight's banquet. On behalf of all the villagers in Rock Village, I would like to thank you for your help."
Elder Faisal came to the main seat of the banquet, with trembling arms and a tribal girl standing beside him. He picked up the wine glass from the standing tray and took a sip.
Elder Belvis also followed Elder Faisal, raised the wine glass in his hand, signaled to everyone, and drank it all in one gulp.
“This time we want everyone here to cooperate with the village’s actions.”
Before Elder Faisal finished speaking, he saw a bright light under the black curtain in the distance. A ball of hot and brilliant sparks.
It's a distress signal from tribal hunters!
Elder Faisal’s heart instantly sank to the bottom. Judging from the distance, the place where the spark ignited should not be far away.
He turned around and nodded to Elder Belvis, signaling him to arrange manpower immediately.
Elder Belvis said nothing and immediately turned around and left. Although his steps were steady, the urgency in his heart could also be seen.
“All hunters gather immediately!”
Elder Belvis came to the campfire, and the roar echoed in the night air.
The tribal hunters who were responsible for the safety of the banquet rushed over one after another.
Under the light of the fire, every tribal hunter was fully armed and looked solemn. There were villagers surrounding them, holding torches and looking worriedly at Elder Belvis.
“Everyone, we are going to rush over, you can do whatever you want.”
Elder Faisal looked around at the silent people in the banquet and let out a soft breath.
After saying that, he rushed to the place where the sparks ignited without waiting for the reply of everyone present.
Led by Elders Feisal and Belvis, the tribal hunters quickly rushed towards the direction of the fire.
Although their steps are quick, they are orderly, keeping their array neat and ready to launch an attack at any time.
"Something is wrong. It's too good to be stuck at this time." Ezreal frowned and looked at the sparks hanging in the distance.
Don't start early, don't start late, when Faisal is hosting the banquet, the signal is lit.
"Mr. Charles, what should we do?" Xia Mara looked at Huo Jixing and asked.
"The protagonist has left, and there is no need to hold the banquet. Let's go and have a look."
Huo Jixing walked out of the banquet hall. The bonfire was still burning, but there was no noise and excitement just now. The scene left only a depressing atmosphere.
The anxious villagers chatted in low voices, with worry written all over their faces.
Huo Jixing shook his head slightly and followed the footsteps of the tribal hunter first.
Seeing this, Shyamala and Ezreal followed calmly.
The three of them moved forward quickly in the night, and soon saw the back of the tribal hunter.
However, compared to Huo Jixing's relaxation, Xia Mara is always on guard. The scimitar at her waist is held tightly in her hand, and a brown light covers the blade.
Affected by the atmosphere, Ezreal tightened his grip on the Shurima Gauntlet, and saw little golden brilliance glowing on the surface of the Gauntlet.
After they left, others who stayed at the party quickly followed.
Now we are all grasshoppers on the same rope. There is a problem in the rock village, and they have no choice but to escape.
Location of the exterior wall of the rock village.
The dim light of the torch illuminated the solid wall made of sand and soil, breaking a large hole.
The bloodstains and weapons of tribal hunters are scattered around the gap. The remaining traces indicate that a fierce battle has just occurred here.
The most disturbing thing is that none of the tribal hunters who were supposed to be patrolling here have disappeared.
Elder Belvis walked quickly to the gap in the wall, squatted down, carefully picked up a handful of dust and put it into his mouth.
He chewed slowly, savoring the information in the dust, while walking along the broken sand wall.
He walked very slowly, carefully observing the subtle traces left around him, trying to restore the scene of the battle.
Finally, his eyes stopped at a dark cave.
Elder Belvis's pupils narrowed, and he looked back at the gap in the wall not far away, his expression becoming gloomy.
"It's Axel!"
"Are you sure?"
Hearing this, Elder Feisal frowned and looked into the dark cave, his eyes dim.
The location of the rock village is very important. Under the oasis is a buried solid rock vein. Coupled with the rune blessing of Master Ixtal, ordinary Exe cannot dig through it at all.
Not to mention directly digging out the rock veins and entering the rock village.
“It should be Broshasa Exel!”
Mage Ixtal walked over with a staff in hand and looked at the cave in front of him, which was about thirty centimeters in diameter.
“Although all Axai are good at digging holes, only the Shasha Axai has enough size and strength to dig through the hard rock veins under the desert and expand the Axai’s hunting grounds.”
“It seems that the guys hiding in the dark have already targeted the rock village.”
Elder Faisal's eyes were red, and the anger in his heart could not be suppressed on his old face.
"It is very likely that all the tribal hunters on patrol have encountered something unexpected. We cannot just sit back and wait for death."
He looked at Belvis, the heir he had trained, and said in a solemn voice.
“Starting tonight, a magic warning will be set up near the village, and everyone from Ixtal will assist us.”
“In addition, I suspect that there are ghosts in the village who are secretly colluding with void creatures. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us not to hear the news of Exe’s digging of rock veins.”
"Then what should we do?" Belvis's face was solemn, and anger also flashed in his eyes.
"You conduct a secret investigation to see who is not present in the village."
Elder Faisal looked back at the chaotic and restless village behind him, a stern expression appearing on his old face.
"Whoever dares to collude to betray the village or collude with void creatures must be sentenced to death."
Boom! Boom!
As soon as Elder Faisal finished speaking, there were sounds in the dark cave, like a desert storm hitting the wall.
Immediately afterwards, a chaotic and violent aura rose into the sky and swept around, shocking the nearby tribal hunters to retreat.
"Be careful, everyone, something is coming out of the cave."
Elder Faisal realized the seriousness of the matter, quickly retreated, left the cave, and came to the edge of the solid sand wall. .
He frowned and stared in the direction of the cave, preparing for the upcoming changes.
The two Ixtal mages stood at the front without fear, the emerald green staffs in their hands pointed at the cave, glowing with emerald green.
Belvis led the tribal hunters in formation, bows and arrows, and the iron arrows shone coldly under the light of the torches.
They stared at the shaking cave with cold expressions, with strong murderous intent in their eyes, ready to avenge their companions.
Crash!
In this tense and chilling atmosphere, the cave shook more and more violently, until a huge dark purple monster sprang out of the cave.
Along with it, there was a deafening roar, causing a stinking storm.
Faced with the sudden monster, the tribal hunters did not panic.
Under the command of Belvis, they fired arrows in an orderly manner, and for a while the arrows shot towards the black shadow like raindrops.
The two Ixtar wizards also waved their staffs, releasing powerful natural magic energy.
The emerald green light intertwined with the arrows, weaving a dense attack network, covering the deep purple monster.
Ding ding! Ding ding! Ding ding!
The arrow, carried by the strong wind, fell and accurately hit the back of the dark purple monster, making a metal-like sound.
Little bits of fire light burst out, and the iron arrows were unable to break through the deep purple monster's defense.
Only the magic attacks of the two Ixtal mages left eye-catching marks on the back as solid as metal.
“Roar! Roar!”
A scream of pain sounded, and the giant dark purple monster turned its body and looked at the attacking people.
