Chapter 490 Volibear’s Will Bloody Sacrifice
Snowflakes falling all over the sky spread on the rocks and roads, accumulating a thick layer of snow, making the already difficult mountain road even more rugged.
The biting cold wind came oncoming, taking away all the warmth, leaving only the biting cold.
This is a severe test given to people by the Iron Thorn Mountains.
Survival of the fittest, natural selection.
Simple yet cruel rules of survival.
Only those who can find a way to survive in this harsh environment can gain a foothold in the Iron Thorn Mountains.
Huo Jixing and his party were like twisted blood-red snakes, walking slowly along the mountain road, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.
As they approached their destination, Huo Jixing's expression became increasingly gloomy.
He had already opened his red eyes, but at the moment, he could not see any clouds appearing in his field of vision.
Huo Jixing let out a breath, and continued to move forward with Klie and others with a gloomy expression, leaving a series of deep footprints on the thick snow.
Looking down from the sky, they seemed to be the only survivors in this snow-white world.
About half an hour later.
Huo Jixing and his party came to a steep valley. Looking from a distance, they could faintly see a group of dark gray buildings buried in the valley.
He immediately extended his spiritual power, ignoring the obstruction of the wind and snow, and fell towards the dark gray buildings in the distance.
"Boy, what's wrong?"
Kled, who was following behind, saw Huo Jixing suddenly stop walking and patted Skaar's head, signaling it not to move.
Huo Jixing turned around, shook his head gently at Kled, and said in a solemn voice: "The village is empty, there is no one in it."
This is not the first time he has been in this situation. An encounter.
On the way here, they encountered several villages with similar situations.
Where there should have been fireworks, there were only empty villages and neglected houses.
The villagers living here disappeared without a trace as if they were swallowed by ice and snow.
Kled frowned. He also saw what he saw along the way and understood that this was probably the action of the old god Volibear and the bear monsters.
"Go over and take a look first."
Huo Jixing nodded, a cold look flashing in his eyes.
Afterwards, the group of people, led by Huo Jixing, slowly walked towards the distant village.
Deep in the silent valley, a snow-covered village came into view.
Maybe it has not been cleared for a long time. Thick snow has piled up in the village. Only the dark gray stone houses built on the mountain can barely poke their heads out of the snow.
And it has not been cleaned for a long time, and the frost has frozen the door and window grilles together.
Looking from a distance, these stone houses look like lifelike and exquisite ice sculptures, standing quietly in the valley.
Under Huo Jixing's order, the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry immediately dismounted and quickly entered the village in a team of five.
Wearing blood-colored armor and holding sharp swords, they scanned the harsh environment around them with vigilant expressions.
Every step forward will be done carefully, only the heavy steps will make a dull sound when stepping on the accumulated snowflakes.
Although Huo Jixing had already searched inside and outside, he did not stop the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.
Maybe there are some invisible clues hidden in the village.
The Noxian Scarlet Cavalry worked in small groups, searching the stone houses in the village, trying not to miss any trace.
Unfortunately, no matter how carefully they searched, they could not get the clues they wanted.
Kled rode Skaar, left the search team, and came to the mountains to the north of the village.
The snowflakes were so deep that they buried half of the desert dragon lizard's body, causing Skaar to shake his body in discomfort.
Seeing this, Kled tightened his grip on the reins, steadied his body, stood on Skaar's back, and scanned the nearby environment with his left eye, which was almost the same.
"Damn the old god Volibear, damn the bear monsters." Kled looked at the gray sky with disgust, and then looked back.
“Boys, go take a look around, we will rest here tonight.”
Hearing Kled’s voice, the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry finished searching the village. Begins to extend outward.
In the snow-white valley, the scarlet blood color colors the surrounding environment and breaks the silent atmosphere here.
Until night falls, the sky gradually darkens.
The Noxian Scarlet Cavalry came back one after another, bringing a little noise and life to the silent village.
Whoo! Whoops!
The cold wind beat against the walls and windows like a substance, making a whimpering sound.
Huo Jixing stood in front of the window, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, and couldn't help but recall his experience in the North.
Squeak!
Kled opened the door and felt the warmth in the room, and his expression paused.
Then he walked quickly towards Huo Jixing.
"Boy, there is a situation."
Huo Jixing immediately turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Where are you? What happened?"
Meeting In response to Huo Jixing's questioning, Klie grinned, with murderous intent filling his left eye.
"Blood stains!"
Walking north along the valley village, about ten miles away, there is a hilly area of piles of rocks.
The orange torch light lit up, driving away the darkness of winter, reflecting the fully armed Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.
They stood guard among a pile of fine stones with cold expressions, scanning the surroundings with vigilance.
Suddenly!
Bursts of icy wind blew quickly, bringing with it the sound of subtle footsteps.
These voices came from the darkness and immediately attracted the attention of the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry.
“Who is it?”
The Noxian Scarlet Cavalry at the front clenched the sword in his hand and roared in a low voice.
“It’s me!”
Huo Jixing stepped out of the darkness, and the power in his red-gold eyes made the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry who stayed behind salute one after another.
He crossed the tight cavalry array and came between the fine stones, looking at the eye-catching blood stains in the middle.
Its color looks particularly deep red in the moonlight, almost penetrating into the cold stone.
Not only this place, there are also some less obvious blood stains nearby.
This is not what the bear monsters left behind.
It is the blood of ordinary people.
Huo Jixing squatted half-crouched, staring at the solidified crimson blood, his eyes twinkling.
"General Kled, take them back first."
He stood up and said to Kled and Skaar, who were following behind.
“I’ll go take a look around.”
Klie was about to say something, but when he saw the red-gold wings spread out behind Huo Jixing, he helplessly shrugged his shoulders.
This little guy's character is somewhat similar to Darius, and he has extraordinary determination.
No one else can stop any of his decisions.
"Be careful and don't act rashly." Kled warned.
Huo Jixing laughed softly, his laughter revealing his fearlessness and himself.
Immediately afterwards, the red-gold wings flapped and took him straight into the sky, piercing through the darkness.
"Let's go back."
Kled withdrew his gaze and led the Noxian Scarlet Cavalry away from the hills.
Their backs gradually drifted away, disappearing into the vast night. High in the sky, the icy cold air was almost solid, as if it was about to freeze the clouds into ice sheets.
However, Huo Jixing ignored the biting cold air and spread his wings to soar among the mountains.
He centered on the hilly area and expanded the search area step by step.
The spiritual power extends to the extreme, like an invisible net covering the mountains.
The red-gold wings dance in the air, and every time they are flapped, they bring hot temperatures and melt the frozen clouds.
“I found you!”
Suddenly, Huo Jixing's eyes narrowed and he looked at the many light gray clouds hidden among the mountains.
It is the cloud energy of the bear monsters!
He secretly estimated that it was dozens of miles away from the valley village, and the terrain was rugged, making it difficult to walk.
Huo Jixing became more and more certain when he thought of the ferocious bodies and sharp claws of the bear monsters.
It is difficult for ordinary people to walk, but for them, it is very easy.
Huo Jixing hid the red-gold wings on his back, followed the direction of the clouds, and sneaked in silently.
The hunter finds his prey.
The hunt begins!
In the embrace of the snow-capped mountains, a sunken valley is like a huge stone bowl, embedded in the chest of the earth.
The surrounding mountain walls are as smooth as a mirror, carefully carved after being eroded by wind and snow
The only mountain road that can enter this valley is paved with gravel and snowflakes.
There are also irrational bear monsters wandering nearby.
They look like soldiers, but they have lost their former glory and dignity and become monsters imprisoned here.
Their eyes are irrational and full of madness, warning any creature that dares to approach.
Through the dim starlight, you can see that the valley is filled with huge crimson stones.
In addition to these strange stones, there is also a strong smell of blood that permeates the valley.
Crunch! Crunch!
The sound of teeth gnawing at flesh echoed in the silent air, which was creepy.
The hungry bear monsters picked up something from near the crimson stones and stuffed it into their mouths.
The sprayed liquid infected the hideous and ugly plush bodies, covering them with a bloody coat.
"Huh?"
On the edge of the valley, a bear-man monster was eating flesh and blood. It seemed that it saw something abnormal and stopped what it was doing.
It looked up at the sky, and the gray color dispelled its inner doubts, allowing it to continue to concentrate on eating the flesh and blood in its hands.
Seeing that the flesh and blood was almost eaten, the bear-man monster once again picked up a piece of meat that looked like a human thigh and continued to enjoy it.
It bit the meat hard, as if it wanted to taste every inch.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped onto the ground, intertwining with the surrounding blood to form a strange picture.
“Sacrifice to the gods?”
Above the clouds, Huo Jixing looked down at the bloody environment in the valley below and frowned.
The so-called crimson stones are boulders infected by blood.
Around the stones, there were piles of damaged human corpses, and the flowing blood poured into the ground, forming unknown patterns.
Black branches and roots sprouted from each corpse, which were somewhat similar to the ferocious bodies of the bear monsters.
These black branches and roots grew out of the corpse, intertwined, and covered with unknown patterns.
“This power!”
“It’s the breath of the old god Volibear.”
Huo Jixing’s spiritual power sensed the wild breath surging in the air , are eroding the bear monsters.
This aura bears the imprint of the old god Volibear.
After observing Huojixing, Volibear's wild aura exists, but it is very thin.
“It looks like this is just a small sacrificial site.”
“But you!”
Huo Jixing looked at the bear monsters still feasting on their flesh and blood in his field of vision. , whispered.
These bear monsters did not seem to be aware of Huo Jixing's existence, and were still immersed in the pleasure of flesh and blood.
“You should not sacrifice Noxian flesh and blood!”
Boom!
The red-gold flames soared into the sky, illuminating the valley instantly, seeming to engulf the world in its blazing heat.
The bear monsters wandering in the valley felt the hot breath melting the cold, and their bodies were faintly burning.
Under the chaotic roaring sounds, the eyes of the bear monsters were full of fear and anxiety.
They looked around, trying to find the source of the sudden fire.
And above their field of vision.
Huo Jixing appeared in the valley riding the wave of flames like a god descending into the world.
Suzaku·Nanli Fire!
Without any pity or compassion, he directly summoned the red-gold flame.
On the dark sky, the billowing waves of flames poured into the valley like molten magma, causing the heaven and earth to change color.
With such a terrifying attack in front of them, the bear monsters had no way to avoid it and could only let the flames fall on their bodies.
They tried to wave their claws to extinguish the flames on their bodies, but found that they could not do it no matter what.
The black hair was burned away, and the remaining branches and roots on the body melted instantly.
The fire of Nanli continued to burn, and the wails of the bear monsters gradually weakened, and finally disappeared in the sea of blazing fire.
When the last bear-man monster melted into the sea of fire, the valley suddenly fell into deathly silence.
Huo Jixing stood on the wave of flames, looking at the bloody pattern in the center of the valley with a cold expression.
Under the burning fire of Nanli, the bloody pattern still exists, but it looks much darker.
Buzz! Buzz!
Volibear's aura that should have been floating in the air was pulled and fell into the blood pattern.
In an instant, a strange bloody brilliance lit up in the valley, intending to compete with the fire of Nanli.
Roar!
A roar as dull as thunder exploded, shaking the valley.
The blood-colored brilliance bloomed, and a giant bear-like body was condensed out of thin air. The blood-colored blood inside was squirming like maggots.
This is the manifestation of Volibear's aura left in the valley, possessing a tiny will.
Gradually, the bloody bear solidified, and more than ten new eyes appeared, each one as dark and cold as the spider's eyes.
He looked at Huo Jixing who was riding the wave of flames and roared. He raised his palms, wrapped in deep purple thunder, and took a photo.
"Thunder, the power of immortal thunder!"
Huo Jixing calmly stared at the power of thunder raging in the clouds, and slowly raised his right hand.
The falling thunder suddenly lost control and lingered on his fingertips.
“Ha!”
Huo Jixing chuckled, and his figure immediately disappeared and appeared in front of Volibear.
Compared to Volibear's huge body, he looks extremely weak.
But the thunder at the fingertips released terrifying destructive power at this moment.
Click!
Dark purple lightning pierced the darkness, penetrated the cold wind in the valley, and hit the body of Volibear's bloody bear.
"I also control the power of thunder."
Huo Jixing spoke softly, staring at Volibear's will in front of him.
