Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

Zuo Chi turned over and sat up in bed, crossing his legs as he looked at Ah Li sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Does that mean if my soul strength is high enough, I won't have to worry about Ahri draining me dry?"

After a long silence, Ahri bit her lip and lowered her head.

She knew very well that she would have to overcome this instinctive impulse on her own.

But Ahri has no clansmen and no teachers. How can she control her power, which is always prone to turmoil?

Looking at the Vasani Sunstone in her hand, which was still shimmering with a bright green light, Ahri turned her gaze to the window.

"I just hope that this time I can find out about my origins."

If this attempt fails again, Ahri really doesn't know what other options she can have, and she'll be completely lost.

Following Ah Li's gaze to the window, Zuo Chi nodded heavily.

"This time it will definitely be fine!"

Over the next two days, Zuo Chi and Ahri rapidly approached Navori Province in northern Ionia.

It's worth mentioning that just as the large ship the two were on reached the northern part of the Watcher's Sea, near the central part of the Ionia continent, the ship suddenly changed direction, made a large turn, and then continued to sail north.

However, Zuo Chi and Ali's questions were quickly answered, because many people on the deck shared the same doubts.

"Why take a detour? I had no problem taking this route before."

"You don't know this, do you? It's said that some kind of formidable monster has appeared on that island ahead!"

Upon hearing this man's words, everyone on the deck immediately turned to look at him.

The man seemed to enjoy the inquisitive gazes of the crowd. He sat on the deck and said leisurely:

"Just recently, news came from Presidium that the entire island of Philol was to be sealed off, with no ships allowed to approach and no one allowed to land on the island."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Listening to his story, Zuo Chi and Ali couldn't help but feel curious.

"Such secrets are naturally beyond the knowledge of small fry like us, but I suspect that some monster or treasure has appeared on the island."

The man explained in a serious tone, "Because not long ago, everyone on Philol Island vanished into thin air, and a tremendous, earth-shattering commotion was heard around the island!"

Listening to this person's story, Zuo Chi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It must be admitted that the land of primordial origin is truly a magical place.

After rounding Philol Island, the ship returned to its normal course.

Following the guidance of the Vasani Sunstone, Ahri had told Zuo Chi that their destination was an incredibly vast forest, even larger than the entire Navori Province!

This forest is located in the northwest corner of Ionia, seemingly facing a continent that is covered in ice and snow all year round across the sea.

From Ahri's words, Zuo Chi can infer that the continent she mentioned should be the Freljord continent, and the location of this forest can be described as extremely remote.

After disembarking in Navoli Province, Zuo Chi led Ah Li northwards.

Along the way, the two asked many passersby, and finally, they got the information they wanted.

Omicaialan Forest!

Aside from Presidium, it is the most sacred place in all of Ionia.

Legend has it that in the heart of the forest stands a willow tree guarded by a mysterious deity, a tree that possesses the power to influence the entire natural world of Ionia.

This surprised Zuo Chi and Ah Li, but it also confirmed their suspicions.

After traveling along the rugged mountain road for nearly two more days, Zuo Chi and Ali's path gradually became filled with lush greenery.

Just standing on the edge of the forest, the two felt the immense life energy.

Here, the light emanating from the Vasani Sunstone in Ahri's hand has reached its peak.

Ahri gripped the Vasani Sunstone tightly, her eyes filled with hope as she looked at Zuo Chi beside her.

For some reason, Ahri felt a strange flutter in her heart, which made her already anxious heart even more nervous.

"Zuo Chi."

"let's go!"

Zuo Chi squeezed Ah Li's little hand and stepped into the forest without hesitation.

At the same time, just as Zuo Chi and Ah Li stepped into the Omica Yalan Forest, in the very center of the forest.

Unlike the lush vegetation on the outer edge of the forest, the central area is a secluded and tranquil place, like a hidden paradise.

The gently flowing streams come from all directions and all flow into the central area of ​​this grotto.

There, on a tree stump marked with axe and knife marks, new buds sprouted from the stump, and many pale blue flower buds hung at the tips of the branches.

Right next to this tree stump, a figure over ten meters tall slowly awoke from its slumber.

It was an enormous, dark red fox!

This giant fox has a crown-shaped bone on its head and countless huge tails growing behind it.

These tails seemed to be entirely constructed of spiritual energy; with a gentle sway, even the boundary between the material and spiritual realms became blurred.

The giant fox turned its gaze to the south of the forest, its once calm eyes now churning with turmoil.

After gazing in that direction for a long time, the giant fox slowly withdrew its gaze, lay down beside the tree stump where new buds had sprouted, and slowly closed its eyes once again.

Chapter 79 Ahri's Background! Thousand-Tailed Serenity!

Starting from the edge of the Omica Yalan Forest, Zuo Chi and Ah Li encountered many creatures they had never seen before.

In this magical forest, the Vastaya people live together in harmony with all living things in nature.

This place is far removed from the world, and everything is so peaceful and serene that even the flames of war in Noxus have not spread here.

However, the arrival of Zuo Chi and Ah Li seemed to have disrupted the peace of the forest, and many Vastaya people living there looked at the two with wary expressions.

The forest descended into complete chaos upon seeing Zuo Chi, a human.

Finally, after unilaterally crushing several Vastaya, Zuochi and Ahri approached the central area of ​​the Omicaiaran Forest.

Upon arriving here, the two were surprised to find that although the forest was very lively, this place was extremely quiet.

The creatures in the forest seemed to be consciously keeping their distance from this place, and even if they accidentally got close, they would quickly leave.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

In the silent atmosphere, it seemed that only the footsteps of Zuo Chi and Ah Li could be heard throughout the entire world.

Suddenly, the Vasani Sunstone in Ahri's hand flew uncontrollably forward and instantly disappeared into the darkness.

Zuo Chi and Ah Li were startled and quickly looked up.

Just then, a dignified middle-aged man's voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"You are here."

As the sound rang out, light footsteps began to sound in front of Zuo Chi and Ah Li.

Immediately afterward, under the suspicious gazes of Zuo Chi and Ah Li, a giant fox with countless tails slowly emerged from the shadows.

"!!"

The moment the giant fox appeared, Zuo Chi's eyes flashed, and a deep disbelief appeared in them.

Demi god!

Unlike a nature deity like Nagakaboros, the giant fox before them was more like Kennen, relying on its own power to reach the level of a demigod.

Regardless, the giant beast in front of them possessed terrifying power!

Just as Zuo Chi was shocked by the aura emanating from the giant fox in front of him, Ah Li beside him suddenly froze.

Ah Li looked at the giant fox that was over ten meters tall in front of her, and the excitement in her heart reached its peak at this moment.

Ahri murmured softly:

"Who are you"

The Vasani Sunstone hovered in front of the giant fox, its bright yellow eyes fixed on Ahri.

At this moment, Zuo Chi also noticed that the color of his eyes was exactly the same as Ah Li's!

"Qianwei Ningran, guardian of the Omica Yaran Forest".

The giant fox's voice slowly rose, his words seemingly containing a myriad of emotions.

"And also the person you are looking for."

Zuo Chi: "!!"

Thousand Tail Peaceful Peaceful

Only now did Zuo Chi finally understand who Ning Ran was in the reward hint given by the system when he agreed to fulfill Ah Li's wish!

It's actually the demigod guardian of the Omikaialan Forest right in front of me!?

“Qianwei Ningran,” Ahri murmured the name softly.

After a long while, Ahri slowly raised her head and looked at Qianwei Ningran, her voice trembling slightly.
