Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Zuo Chi: "."

What a mess!

Stepping forward to catch up with Varus, Zuo Chi asked seriously, "Are you able to sense Zolani's location?"

Varus nodded heavily, but his expression was somewhat solemn, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I sensed over a dozen of Zolani's presences. And each one was remarkably similar in intensity, moving rapidly. Could my perception be faulty?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing Verus's words, Zuo Chi also fell into deep thought.

"Given Zolani's mastery of blood magic, it would be far too easy for her to create a few illusions to confuse the enemy."

"Could it be that she was afraid we would come looking for her, so she deliberately created these illusions? But Aatrox clearly said before that she deliberately released her aura to provoke you and lure you here."

Varus glanced at Zuo Chi, and after some careful consideration, he slung his longbow over his back and transformed into a streak of light, rushing forward. Zuo Chi followed behind him.

Let's go check out the nearest place first!

"Only I can kill Zolani, and only I have the ability to kill her!"

Zuo Chi offered no rebuttal to this.

Because he knew that apart from Aatrox's followers who were devoted to him, the other Darkin were truly resentful and disdainful of each other.

Everyone felt they were the strongest Darkin, and everyone felt the other wasn't even worthy of carrying their shoes.

However, Zuo Chi was mistaken here, because Varus wanted to kill Zolani simply because Zolani had caused his sisters to disappear without a trace.

And so, Zuo Chi and Verus followed Zolani's scent and quickly sped toward the nearest source of it.

Just as the two rushed out, Zuo Chi said to Varus, "Varus, conceal your presence and don't let Zolani discover that we're here."

"Ah."

Just as Zuochi and Verus left the border of Ixtal, no one expected that because of their previous battle with Malphite, many creatures in the jungle had lost their habitat and had to find new territory.

It might be easier for some small animals to find new territory, but for those elemental dragons with a strong sense of territory, it's an impossible task!

Elemental dragons of different attributes are completely unable to adapt to each other's territories, which greatly reduces the range of territories that dragons can choose to occupy.

After searching in vain, a water elemental dragon arrived at the eastern border of Ixtal.

Before him lay the boundless Sea of ​​Watchers.

However, even though it was separated by the Sea of ​​Watchers, it could still sense the towering ancient tree that blocked out the sky and the abundant natural magic on the island on the other side of the sea.

Looking back at the Ixtal Jungle, which no longer offered it shelter, it flapped its wings and flew towards the Shadow Isles.

Perhaps he will gain a completely new habitat because of this action, but perhaps it will be the beginning of another disaster.

Zuo Chi and Varus were extremely fast, and with their strength, they didn't need to worry about the void creature territories in the vast desert. They could simply crush their way through with their absolute power.

Two streaks of light, one gold and one dark red, swept across the sky, leaving behind only arrows, rock spikes, and countless corpses of void creatures scattered across the ground.

And so, starting from the eastern border of the Shurima Empire, the two followed Varus's senses and quickly approached the central part of the Shurima continent.

The two originally thought that regardless of whether that place was actually Zolani's location, they should at least go and take a look.

However, just as Zuo Chi and Verus had traveled about a thousand miles, Verus's body suddenly stopped abruptly, his fast-moving body coming to an instant.

"What's wrong?" Zuo Chi asked, turning his head to the side.

Varus said suspiciously, "I actually sensed Anaca's presence. He went to another place where Zolani's presence was felt."

"Anaka? Who's that?" Zuo Chi looked completely bewildered.

Varus's expression was somewhat puzzled: "One of Aatrox's former followers, he disappeared from Runeterra shortly after Aatrox was sealed away. His appearance now must be to find Aatrox."

Upon hearing this, Zuo Chi's eyes narrowed slightly.

Varus was not a former follower of Aatrox, so he was unaware that Aatrox had summoned his followers. However, Zuo Chi did know, as he was a witness.

A moment later, Zuo Chi patted Verus on the shoulder and suddenly said:

"Veluth, let's go find Anaca!"

Varus: "Hmm?"

Chapter 143 Blood Magic! The Energy Obelisk!

In the vast desert, a tomb about three meters high stands silently in the yellow sand.

The surface of the tomb is completely buried by yellow sand, but even from a distance, one can still smell the strong, pungent stench emanating from it.

Perhaps because the yellow sand covering the surface was not thick enough, the originally gray sand was actually seeping out dark red blood.

"Tick-tock!"

The clumps of sand were blown away by the wind, exposing what lay beneath the yellow sand to the air.

It turned out to be a small mountain made entirely of corpse parts!

At that very moment, a tall figure suddenly descended from the sky, crashing straight down in front of the pieces of corpse.

The newcomer was about 2.5 meters tall, holding a strangely shaped blood-red spear. A row of sharp bone spurs grew on the back of his arm. His face, covered by a triangular bone mask, had bloodshot eyes staring intently at the corpse in front of him.

The Darkin Spear - Anakha!

Seeking the general's summons, Anakar returned to Shurima first and has been searching for Zoranny's presence ever since.

Just as Varus had sensed before, there were actually more than a dozen Zoranny's auras on the vast continent of Shurima, and each aura was so similar that it was impossible to distinguish the real one from the fake.

In this situation, Anaka has no choice but to start from the nearest one and search one by one.

This is the first place he came to.

Anaca's eyes, hidden beneath his mask, scrutinized the dismembered body before him, sensing the Darkin aura emanating from it. He knew this must be the source of Zolani's aura.

With Zolani's blood magic, creating these blood clots would be far too easy, given enough corpses.

Zolani isn't here; she probably created these corpse mounds to distract them.

Thinking this, Anaka withdrew his gaze, raised the spear in his hand, which gleamed with bloody light, and charged straight at the pile of corpses in front of him.

In an instant, a violent force erupted from the spear, shattering the pieces of corpses in front of Anaca.

However, just as the body parts were blown to pieces and flew haphazardly in all directions, Anaka's body suddenly jolted violently.

Amidst the exploding blood clots, the crisp sound of chains sliding rang out as a pair of curved chainsaws pierced through the rain-like falling body parts, heading straight for Anaka's arms.

Anaca's heart skipped a beat. He was taken aback by the sudden turn of events, but quickly, he swung his spear around. The three blades on the spear slid together, forming a neat, overlapping pattern. Then, he swung the spear downwards to meet Zolani's curved chainsaw.

"boom!"

The two beams of blood collided violently. Anaka's spear recoiled slightly, but he still managed to deflect the force of the spear with his superb combat skills and dodge the attack by turning to the side.

The curved chainsaw was retracted by the chain, and Anaka looked up at the opposite side of the body parts.

There, Zolani, wielding a curved chainsaw, looked at Anaka with a mocking expression. At her feet, the blood flowing from the corpse was rapidly converging towards Zolani and then merging into her body.

"Zolani, you coward!"

The moment Zolani appeared, Anaka shrieked in a piercing voice.

Hearing Anaka address her as such, Zolani took a step forward, her eyes filled with a strange, mocking smile:

“Anacardia, if I’m not mistaken, it was Aatrox who summoned you here.”

Anaka's eyes never left Zolani's body, and his head turned as Zolani moved:

"The general's decree has been issued. Before long, my compatriots will gather, and you coward will surely be reduced to ashes!"

Anaca's voice was filled with boundless reverence and trust for Aatrox:

"General Aatrox is the one who should unite all the Darkin, and you, coward, are only a stepping stone for him!"

"Oh?" Zolani tilted her head.

She didn't rush to attack Anaca, but instead pondered and said, "But I haven't seen Aatrox come, have I?"

"Have you seen Aatrox?"

Anaca hesitated slightly. Yes, although he had come following Aatrox's call, he had not yet encountered Aatrox.

"So what? I will clear away the obstacles for the general first, and then I will go to see the general!"

Anaca's expression was somewhat nostalgic as he raised his spear high, pointing it at Zolani's head:

“I haven’t seen the general for thousands of years, and your head is my gift to the general!”

“You’re too naive, Anaka.”

Despite the blood-red light flashing on Arcana's spear, Zoranny's expression remained unchanged.

"You said it yourself, we haven't seen each other for thousands of years, so who knows if Aatrox has changed or not."

"Do you know that Aatrox broke free a long time ago, but he didn't go looking for you right away. Instead, he only called for you now that there's a battle to be fought. Do you know what that means?"

Zolani approached Anaka, her eyes fixed intently on him:

"Aatrox didn't want to take any risks, so he sent you to your death. You're just a pawn in his game!"
