Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Upon hearing the old man's story, Kasha frowned deeply.

She paid no attention to the pure land the old man spoke of, but instead focused on the place where the old man mentioned Zoran was.

Kharise Desert!

"Kasha?" Just then, Zuo Chi also arrived beside Kasha.

Kasha said in a deep voice, "You absolutely must not go to this place, and you must not cross the Kharisee Desert! Because the dangers there are far beyond your imagination!"

The old man gently shook his head: "We have nowhere else to go, and there is no turning back."

As the old man finished speaking, Taliyah added, "If we go around to the outside, we won't have enough food. If we go back the way we came, we'll have nowhere to go."

Kai'Sa was somewhat annoyed: "Just for some vague legend, you're going to cross the lair of Void creatures?! Do you even know what's in Kali's Lair?!"

“The Exeed race? I’ve heard of them in legends,” Taliyah said softly.

"That's not a legend at all!"

Kai'Sa's tone grew increasingly urgent: "Exes really exists, and I've even fought them! They're far more powerful than those Void Fish monsters we just saw!"

I even once saw an Queen of Exie far away, far exceeding the size of a normal Exie! Just one glance was enough to give me an incredibly strong sense of danger!

Hearing Kai'Sa's words, Taliyah's eyes also showed a hint of struggle.

But soon, that struggle completely disappeared, replaced by determination!

“Kasha, thank you for telling me all this. But my people truly have nowhere else to go.”

Taliya looked at the campfire in front of her, hugged her knees, and said softly, "Compared to a hopeless life, perhaps that last glimmer of hope is our final way out."

"We have no way back. Apart from finding Zoran, our only other option is to die."

Compared to Kai'Sa, Taliyah, although she has her own tribe, is the only one in the entire village with combat abilities.

If Kai'Sa faced rejection from her own kind, then Taliyah must have faced the heavy burden of reviving her entire race.

Kasha and Zuo Chi looked at each other as they listened to Taliyah's words.

Zuo Chi looked at Kasha, knowing what she would choose next.

So he smiled gently at Kasha.

"Kasha, do what you want. I'll help you!"

Kasha looked at Zuo Chi with sparkling eyes, then looked at Taliyah in front of her again.

“Taliyah, Zuo Chi and I also need to cross the Kohalise Desert, so we can travel together.”

"really?"

Upon hearing Kaisa's words, Taliyah looked at Kaisa and Zuochi with delight.

Zuo Chi shrugged: "I'm just a healer, only responsible for clinging to Kasha's coattails, so she's the one who calls the shots!"

Kasha nodded and said affirmatively, "Really! We need to find an abandoned ferry crossing on the other side of the Kharisee Desert!"

"Great!"

With Kai'Sa and Zuo Chi traveling with her, Taliyah's joy grew even stronger.

When Zuo Chi heard what Kasha said, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Chapter 13 What is your dream?

The next day, when the desert sun rose into the sky once again, all of Taliya's people had finished packing.

The next step is to continue heading towards Zoran's location.

After a night of planning, Zuo Chi and Kasha finally decided to cross the Kohalise Desert with Taliyah and her group.

Zuo Chi had considered whether he should go back to the village and ask the villagers.

But then he thought about it again. In this perilous desert, the three of them couldn't possibly protect everyone. Many civilians would likely die in the mouths of the void creatures.

So in the end, Zuo Chi gave up on the idea.

At the very front of the line, Taliyah stretched lazily.

She stretched her hands out to the ground, and suddenly a rich, dark yellow light shone from them.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous stone platform suddenly appeared beneath everyone's feet.

Kaisa looked at Taliyah in confusion: "What's this?"

A glint of light flashed in Zuo Chi's eyes.

How could I forget that!

Isn't this the passive skill of Taliyah from the game in my previous life?

The next instant, under Taliyah's control, the giant stone platform lifted everyone up and rushed forward at high speed.

On the platform, Taliyah's arms waved continuously, and countless walls rose from the yellow sand, carrying the boulder forward like a relay race.

Kasha was also somewhat surprised by what she was seeing.

After all, if they could always travel like this, not only would their speed be very fast, but the risk factor would also be much lower.

But soon, Taliyah showed Kaisa through her actions.

Maintaining this state consistently is quite difficult.

Following Kai'Sa's directions, the group swiftly traversed the Shurima desert.

At this moment, they had entered the heart of the Kohalise Desert. Zuo Chi could even hear the faint roars of giant beasts coming from the yellow sand below the boulder platform!

It was at this moment that the megalithic platform suddenly trembled violently, causing everyone standing on it to stumble.

Then, under Taliyah's somewhat embarrassed gaze, the giant stone platform wobbled and plummeted downwards, finally crashing into the yellow sand!

Thus, deep in the Kharisee Desert, the group's plane crashed.

Taliya scratched her head, looking apologetically at Zuo Chi and Kasha:

"My magic is not enough to support me to cross the entire desert; this is the most I can go."

Both Zuo Chi and Kai'Sa were quite surprised by Taliyah's performance.

At this moment, flames began to burn in Zuo Chi's eyes as he looked at Taliyah!

Taliya's ability to manipulate rocks at will reminded Zuo Chi of someone else.

That's right, it's Azir, the one who got blamed by Taliyah!

With his ability to manipulate sand and the power of ascension, Azir can instantly create countless sand soldiers for his own use.

This is the fundamental reason for Azir's strength.

Now, Taliyah possesses abilities remarkably similar to Azir's!

However, her magical reserves are too weak to utilize rock magic for the time being.

But Zuo Chi himself is different!

He also has the power of ascension!

If he could also acquire Taliyah's ability, his combat power would leap forward once again.

Thinking about this, Zuo Chi's gaze towards Taliyah became increasingly strange.

When Taliya noticed Zuo Chi's gaze, she crossed her arms and took a step back.

"Zuo Chi, your gaze is so strange!"

Kasha also looked at Zuo Chi with suspicion, her large, amethyst-like eyes full of questions.

"Cough cough!"

Zuo Chi coughed lightly and approached Taliyah with a serious expression.

Then, amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Zuo Chi asked in a deep voice:

"Taliyah, what is your dream?"

Taliya: "."

Kaisa: "."

Taliya's people: "."

The moment Zuo Chi asked that question, everyone present looked on with a puzzled expression.

They even wanted to touch Zuo Chi's forehead to see if he had lost his mind.

Meanwhile, Zuo Chi's lips twitched slightly.

All he wants to say right now is, why is his cheat ability so strange?!

They only get a reward if they help someone realize their dream!

This feeling of constantly asking people what their dreams are could really make Zuo Chi dig a one-bedroom, two-living-room apartment out of the sand with his toes!

This is not only torture for Zuo Chi, but also torture for the person being questioned!

However, Taliyah firmly stated, "My dream now is to lead my people to find a suitable place to live!"
