Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

However, Zuo Chi has only encountered this one ferocious beast so far, and he cannot yet determine the truth of his suspicions.

Zuo Chi looked at the villagers beside him and asked softly, "There must have been other ferocious beasts that came to your village before, why haven't they been seen?"

After all, the village has been destroyed like this, and it's hard to believe that no other ferocious beasts came to Zuochi before.

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, the leading man said excitedly, "Thanks to Lord Bron, he saved us. He appeared in the village in time and drove away that Ice Ruins Worm."

"Oh?" Zuo Chi raised an eyebrow.

What a coincidence! Zuo Chi was wondering if Braum had already left, but it turned out to be so smooth.

"Has Bloom left?" Zuo Chi asked hurriedly.

"Hmm." The man nodded with some regret: "Many other villages in the surrounding area have also been attacked by wild beasts. Lord Bronn should go and help the other villages."

Zuo Chi turned his gaze to the direction from which the ice lizard had come, and his mental energy spread out accordingly.

He knew that if he wanted to completely solve the problems at Monster Ranch, he had to go there and take a look.

However, Zuo Chi is now planning to go find Brûlé first and then take him along.

Pulling himself back to reality, Zuo Chi looked at the villagers in front of him: "There shouldn't be any more ferocious beasts appearing for a while. The reinforcements from the Avarosa tribe will arrive soon. You can wait for them."

"I'll go and take a look at other villages."

After saying this last sentence, Zuo Chi soared into the sky again, heading straight for the distant village.

Below, the villagers watched Zuo Chi's disappearing figure, then looked at the giant ice lizard beside him, and a look of excitement flashed in everyone's eyes.

"Please make sure it's not poisonous. If it's not poisonous, it'll be enough for us to eat for a while! This is all thanks to the Blood Alliance Lord!"

After leaving the first village, Zuo Chi quickly approached the surrounding settlements.

However, as Zuo Chi arrived at the location of the second settlement, the light in his eyes turned completely gloomy.

Clearly, this village was far less fortunate than the first one. They didn't receive support from the Iceborn as powerful as Brûl, and the entire village was completely torn apart by unknown beasts.

Amidst the pungent smell of blood, Zuo Chi could hear a series of eerie creaking sounds.

Turning his head sharply, Zuo Chi saw a group of snow-white behemoths devouring human flesh!

Zuo Chi's brows furrowed deeply. He slowly raised his hand, and the raging lightning enveloped the direction where the giant beasts were located without any concealment.

The crackling arcs of electricity caused the giant beasts that were feasting to fall heavily one after another, never to rise again.

Upon arriving here, Zuo Chi's mood became extremely heavy, after all, these ferocious beasts were truly an undeserved disaster for these villagers.

He set off again, searching village after village in Zuochi. Along the way, he encountered many villages that, like the first one, had only suffered minor damage.

But there were also several villages, like the second one, that were almost completely destroyed by these crazed beasts.

As Zuo Chi killed all these ferocious beasts, he became completely certain of his suspicions.

These ferocious beasts went mad and rushed out of the monster ranch to attack people because of the influence of that strange power.

That power felt familiar to Zuo Chi, yet he always felt it was different from anything he had encountered before.

Finally, after searching through countless villages, Zuo Chi finally spotted that familiar figure in his field of vision.

In front of Zuochi, Bloom was standing among a group of burly women, helping them repair the destroyed house.

Even from a great distance, Zuo Chi could still see the burning desire in the eyes of those burly women.

"Forehead"

Zuo Chi could sense that Bloom was popular not only with men, but also with women.

After all, with Braum's physique and top-tier Iceborn strength, he was incredibly popular in the dog-eat-dog world of Freljord.

As he slowly descended from the sky, Zuo Chi walked towards Bulong amidst the villagers' astonished gazes.

Noticing the commotion, Bloom in the crowd also looked over.

The next second, when he saw the figure appear in front of him, a look of extreme surprise appeared on Brown's face.

"Zuo Chi, my friend! You really came to Freljord to find Braum!"

Squeezing through the crowd, Brown strode towards Zuo Chi, his steps causing the ground to thud.

Upon approaching, Brown swept Zuo Chi into a tight bear hug.

Brown is over two meters tall, which is like a wall to Zuo Chi, who is only 1.9 meters tall.

Held in Brown's arms, Zuo Chi patted his arm with a hint of helplessness.

"Bron, long time no see. Looks like Illaoi helped you find your shield."

"Yes, my friend."

Upon hearing Zuo Chi mention Illaoi, an unnatural expression flashed across Bloom's face.

Noticing this, Zuo Chi nudged Brown in the chest with his elbow and chuckled:

"Looks like things are going well for you two?"

"Cough cough!"

Bloom coughed lightly, his old face slightly flushed: "Illaoi is a strong woman, stronger and more powerful than the oxen in my hometown!"

"."

Zuo Chi simply wants to say that Bloom does use adjectives.

Meanwhile, Zuo Chi could already imagine the huge commotion that Bronn and Illaoi would cause—they would practically tear the roof off the Holy Land of Baru.

Zuo Chi shook his head vigorously, quickly clearing these chaotic thoughts from his mind.

Zuo Chi asked seriously, "Bron, are things alright in the villages around here?"

"Sigh." Bron sighed deeply. "This village is alright, but the surrounding villages have suffered more damage. And I estimate that reinforcements from the Avarosa tribe will take some time to arrive."

"correct!"

Bloom suddenly looked at Zuo Chi and gave him a thumbs up:

"My friend, I've heard all about it. You've actually become a blood ally of War Mother Ashe? As expected, the women around you are always perfect, just like that Vastaya lady from last time. She was just too thin."

Zuo Chi didn't dwell on this question too much, but instead directly took Brown's hand and asked:

"Brown, as you've probably seen, the ferocious beasts charging out of the Monster Ranch haven't diminished at all. To completely solve this problem, we need to go to the Monster Ranch and see what's going on."

Bloom nodded emphatically at Zuo Chi's explanation. He had also noticed this point, but he had been unable to get away before. Now that Zuo Chi was with him, he had no more concerns.

He looked at Zuo Chi: "My friend, shall we go together?"

"Ok!"

Having received Zuo Chi's reply, Bloom returned to the corner where he had been standing and picked up the enormous shield that was almost as tall as him.

The shield has a very ancient appearance and is made entirely of an unknown gray-black material. A huge ram's head is carved on the front of the shield.

Braum's Ram Shield!

Rank: Low-tier Legendary!

Special Note: Originally, the vault gate was forged by Ornn, the god of fire and forging, for the troll king Guablark. Later, due to an accident, Braum shattered the mountain where the vault was located and used the gate as his weapon.

It's actually a legendary weapon on par with Ashe's Throne of Avaros!

Zuo Chi looked Ornn's shield up and down, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

As expected, anything made by Ornn is bound to be of high quality.

Meanwhile, Zuo Chi's longing for Ornn grew stronger, and he decided that after finishing all the messy things, he must visit this legendary demigod.

"My friend, let's go."

Zuo Chi nodded, grabbed Brom's shoulder, and led him swiftly westward toward the monster.

On the way, Zuo Chi looked at Bloom curiously: "Bloom, what do you know about Monster Ranch?"

Bloom gazed ahead and nodded slightly:

“Every so often, the bear-men come to the monster ranch. During that time, the surrounding villages try to minimize their outings. Now, it should be a while before the bear-men come to the monster ranch again.”

"Will Volibear come?" Zuo Chi asked again.

"Not necessarily, but they come most of the time."

Having lived here for a long time, Brown was very familiar with the situation and explained it to Zuo Chi in great detail.

"Especially in winter, wars in Freljord become very frequent, and Volibear almost always comes to Monster Ranch to oversee the trials of the bear-men."

Zuo Chi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Brown with excitement: "Brown, can we eat the beasts in Monster Ranch?"

"A small number are possible."

Bronn looked at Zuo Chi with some regret: "To survive in the Monster Ranch, most of the monsters are poisonous. Some particularly strong monsters are non-poisonous, but they are very difficult to hunt."

Hearing this, Zuo Chi couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

He had originally planned to hunt some large prey at the Monster Ranch along the way, but now it seems that this idea is likely to fall through.

As they spoke, a row of towering mountains began to appear in front of Zuo Chi and Bu Long, and behind the mountains was a huge basin spanning a hundred miles.

Looking down from the sky, Zuo Chi could see the scene of Monster Ranch through the gaps between the mountains.

Under the gloomy dark clouds, the terrain of Monster Ranch is rugged, with hills and valleys of all sizes scattered throughout. These places must be the burrows of various ferocious beasts.
