Chapter 427 Starry Eyes Farewell and Heading North


Chapter 427 Star Eyes Farewell and Head North

Rocky Village.

The desert outside a small oasis.

In the diffuse sandstorm, Kassadin wore a robe to cover his body, dressed like a pilgrim, and walked south with firm eyes.

Behind him, Huo Jixing and Ezreal, also wearing robes that blocked the wind and sand, followed silently, one behind the other.

Seen from a distance, their figures are dotted with the wind and sand in the sky, like scholars searching for the truth in the desert. The golden sand covers up the rows of footprints left behind.

Ezreal tightened his hood, covering his handsome face, and his eyes behind the goggles scanned the desolate desert.

He was originally hired by Kassadin and was preparing to leave the rock village.

However, when he heard that Huo Jixing was going to say goodbye to Kassadin.

As an explorer who is always full of curiosity, Ezreal naturally followed.

Huo Jixing and others are all extraordinary beings with strong strength, and the impact of the desert weather on them is almost negligible.

The scorching wind and sand rolled up, carrying frightening heat, whistling past them, but unable to stop their footsteps.

After a while.

The small oasis where the rock village was located has disappeared without a trace, leaving only the golden desert around.

The sun is scorching the earth, and the sand is jumping in the breeze, as if you are in an endless golden ocean.

Continue heading south.

The endless golden hills fall into everyone's field of vision. They are like huge waves, undulating.

Further in the distance, there are huge mountains that tower into the clouds, like natural barriers, guarding this ancient and mysterious land.

This area is already a remote area of ​​Shurima, deserted, desolate and claustrophobic.

Looking around, you can see many hollow rocks, standing quietly at the foot of the mountains.

When Huo Jixing and others passed by, a strong wind blew, and a quiet whistle sounded, like a dead soul wailing.

“After crossing this mountain range, you can reach the edge of Icathia.”

Kassadin’s hoarse and deep voice came regardless of the wind and sand.

"Send it here."

Huo Jixing looked at the mountains in the distance, with an inexplicable look of expectation flashing in his eyes.

"Let's look further ahead. I have never seen the land of Icacia, and I have already reached here, so the rest of the journey doesn't matter."

Kassadin looked back at Huo Jixing and Ezreal's figure nodded slowly without speaking, his deep eyes hiding invisible secrets.

Everyone walked forward slowly, and the mountains in front of them seemed to have lost their tranquility and beauty in an instant, and became dilapidated.

The gray mountain top is covered with a thick layer of gray. No breath of life can be seen, and the silence is so suffocating.

There were whimpering sounds all around, and there was an indescribable and strange atmosphere.

It belongs neither to death nor to life, but is beyond both and carries unpredictable dangers.

Suddenly!

Kassadin at the front stopped, reached out from the package on his back, took out the items he carried, and armed himself.

When Huo Jixing saw this, his heart moved. After exchanging a look with Ezreal, they both walked forward.

Next moment!

The sight before them made them hold their breath involuntarily.

It is the land of Icacia that has been eroded by the power of the void.

The desolation of this land is far beyond the imagination of Huo Jixing and Ezreal.

It can be said that the sky is falling and the earth is devastated!

I saw dark clouds covering the sky, blocking the sunlight, and only darkness fell.

The vast and endless land seemed to be torn apart by terrifying invisible claws, leaving behind bottomless ravines.

These ravines are criss-crossed, like the painful cry of the earth, silently telling the disaster that has happened.

Farther away, countless broken canyons seemed to have been invaded by the aftermath of the battle and split into two.

A dark purple light emanates from the depths of the crack, a light that makes people extremely heart-stopping.

It covers the canyon, as if it is the mark left by the power of the void, and it is also the last struggle and wailing on this land.

The land of Icathia was not what it was before. It had a rich and diverse civilization.

But after opening the Void Gate, everything changed completely.

The splendid civilization of Icathia disappeared in the long river of history, leaving only the forgotten land of Icathia.

“We are insignificant.”

Kassadin stared at Icacia, the gauze robe he was wearing was discarded on the spot, revealing the dark purple ancient armor.

"But it's not useless!"

He turned sideways, looked back at Huo Jixing and Ezreal, and said his final farewell.

"Just send me here, it's time to go back."

After saying that, Kassadin walked south without waiting for an answer, looking at Aika with his deep purple eyes. The location of the former capital of West Asia.

He will definitely take revenge, even if it costs his life.

But for a moment, Kassadin's figure gradually blurred in the devastated ravines, and finally disappeared on the distant horizon.

Huo Jixing and Ezreal stood silently, watching Kassadin leave.

“What should we say now?”

Ezreal withdrew his gaze, looked up at Huo Jixing, and suppressed the chaotic emotions in his heart.

For some reason, he had a premonition that he would enter Icacia at some point in the future.

[Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Eyes]!

Huo Jixing's dark eyes lit up with red-gold fireworks, looking at this desolate and ruined land.

Soul!

The field of vision is filled with countless broken souls! They are like prisoners, trapped in this ruined land, unable to extricate themselves.

Huo Jixing suddenly realized that these souls were the Icathians who had died with this land.

Their lingering and staying adds a sense of heaviness and sadness to this forgotten land.

At the same time.

A deep, cold purple glow unique to the void appeared in Huojixing's field of vision, spreading all over Icacia.

It was so high up that I didn’t know where the other side was. It blocked Huo Jixing’s prying eyes, making it impossible for him to see the existence of any cloud.

Sonorous!

In the red-gold eyes, Nanli Suzaku raised its head and spread its wings, reflected in the pupils.

Then, amid the high-pitched cries of Nanli Suzaku, Huo Jixing’s gaze broke through the limitations of the power of the void.

The next moment!

He looked as far as he could, and saw a bunch of deep purple clouds in the central area of ​​the land of Icathia, reaching into the sky and the earth.

Faintly, there seemed to be an eye like a star, hidden at the bottom of the clouds.

Before Huo Jixing could react, his star-like purple eyes opened slightly, and a deep and endless aura hit his face.

"Uh-huh!"

Huo Jixing subconsciously closed the [Red Eyes and Fire Pupils], but it was still a little late. Severe pain instantly swept through the sea of ​​consciousness.

Two lines of red-gold blood tears flowed down the corners of his closed eyes and across his cheeks.

"Mr. Charles, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing the voice, Ezreal immediately looked at Huo Jixing and saw two lines of blood and tears flowing on his face. He looked nervous and frowned.

"I'm fine!"

Huo Jixing shook his head, wiped the red-gold blood and tears from the corners of his eyes, and slowly opened his eyes.

“Let’s go, let’s get out of here.”

At this moment, he somewhat understood why Valoran had selectively forgotten the land of Icathia.

The silent will of the void always exists on this land, waiting to wake up.

Awaiting the battle in the future!

After leaving the edge of Icathia.

Ezreal bid farewell to Huo Jixing at the fork in the ancient desert road. He was going to complete Kassadin's employment mission.

This Shurima expedition plan is almost coming to an end.

Ezreal experienced many twists and turns, and even almost died in the rock village.

He was determined to take a good rest for a while to regain his physical strength and spirit, so he accepted Kassadin's mission.

Because many places in the mission are exactly the destinations he will go to next.

Separation is the normal state of life.

Huo Jixing had long been accustomed to the existence of such emotions. After waving goodbye to Ezreal, he returned to the rock village alone.

Both of his goals have been achieved, one is to bid farewell to Kassadin, and the other is to peek into the forgotten land of Icathia.

In the rock village, Xia Mara directed the caravan guards to make preparations before leaving.

The stored food and water are placed on the back of the Doman beast to ensure that the caravan can cope with various situations during the journey.

After Huo Jixing returned, Xia Mara slowly left the village with her caravan, facing the sunset, and embarked on her way home.

But deep in the Halise Desert, the darkness of night fell quietly like an invisible curtain.

The icy cold wind raged between the dunes, rolling up waves of fine gravel.

The Myrdalda caravan is staying on the back of a huge sand dune, busy setting up camp.

The caravan guards wore thick gauze robes and spread out.

They were either confirming whether the goods were intact, or cooking food and making campfires to dispel the cold.

The temperature difference between day and night in the deep desert changes greatly.

High temperatures hit during the day, and the scorching sun scorched the desert, making it hard to breathe.

But at night, the wind was biting and the rolled up gravel slapped the face.

Xia Mara sat in the tent on the back of the Doman beast, looking around with cold eyes.

The desert at night is a far more dangerous world than during the day, with countless threats lurking.

It could be a cunning desert marauder or a ferocious desert beast.

She must remain vigilant enough.

After the battle in the rocky village, half of the members of the caravan guard were reduced, and almost all the slaves were lost. The defensive strength was already somewhat insufficient.

But Xia Mara was not worried about the safety of the caravan at all, because Huo Jixing was in the team.

The terrifying strength he displayed in the battle in the rock village was enough to appease Shyamala's worries.

Candlelight came on, illuminating the thick tent.

Huo Jixing was enjoying his dinner, beside him was a snow-white Poro who was curled up and had eaten and drank enough.

After parting ways with Kassadin, he was in no hurry to return to Bergune.

Instead, he chose to embark on the return journey with the Myrdalda caravan.

He wanted to see the changes in the situation in Shurima in recent times.

Shyamala had told him before that the resurrected desert emperor Azir was now re-raising the sun disk in Vicoula, intending to restore the glory of the Shurima Empire.

The ancient wizard spirit Xerath is making arrangements in Nerimajie, establishing his own power to fight against Azir.

Huo Jixing is full of curiosity. What kind of changes will the duel and struggle between these two bring to the Shurima continent?
