LOL: Let me touch your steel

Although the dune hounds are very ferocious, they are actually just a group of ordinary wild beasts. Passing caravans traveling in the desert may be afraid of them, but for a few of them, the pack of desert hounds is not enough.

Even Taliyah, who had initially communicated with the elements, could easily kill these hounds.

But this time...it seems a little different.

The pack of dune hounds that arrived this time seemed to be smarter than any of the previous ones. Even with Zhang Xu's perception ability, he could only sense that there was a tail behind them, but he had no way of sensing the number of hounds in this pack.

This phenomenon is very unusual.

Zhang Xu frowned subconsciously, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.

An ordinary pack of dune hounds could never have caused him to feel this way. The only explanation was...

Nayafili!

The inexplicable uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. This feeling was even more direct than when I was stared at in the void before.

It’s definitely a dog dagger...no doubt about it!

Zhang Xu took a deep breath, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face. If there was another existence in the Shurima Desert besides Tsar Xerath and the Ascendants that he didn't want to meet, it must be Nayafili.

An ancient and powerful Darkin...a terrifying existence that can defeat any Darkin and almost command all Darkin!

Zhang Xu's gaze passed over layer after layer of yellow sand and fell on the location of the group of desert hunting dogs. At the same time, he took a step forward without leaving a trace and stood in front of Kassadin and Taliyah.

If they have been targeted by Nayafil, they will not be able to escape anyway.

Zhang Xu's unusual behavior attracted the attention of Kassadin and Taliyah, but the two of them obviously did not realize the danger. Taliyah was even eager to test her progress in recent days.

"Come back! This time...it might not be your ordinary dune hound."

Seeing Zhang Xu's reaction of facing a great enemy, Kassa was slightly startled, and then quickly reacted. The Void Skin Armor that had shrunk back to her lower abdomen to form a mark instantly spread over her body, and the slightly hideous skin armor completely wrapped Kassa's body.

In a moment, Kassadin's body was completely wrapped in the Void Skin Armor, and she turned back into the Void Daughter she once was.

Talia's body tensed up instantly, and she stared at the place where Zhang Xu's sight reached.

In a cave a few kilometers away, a group of hunting dogs quietly hid in the shadows where the sun could not shine. One of the hunting dogs stood at the front of the pack, as if he was the leader of the pack.

But in fact, all hounds have only one will in their minds.

That's the Darkin, Nayafili!

At this moment, a hint of human doubt flashed in Nayafili's wild eyes.

She wandered aimlessly in the desert, she wanted to find her companions, find other darkin and share the wisdom of the pack with them. Abandoning personal grudges and private calculations, it seemed that they could restore the glory of the darkin.

But from the group of people a few kilometers away, Nayafili felt a very familiar aura.

That is... the breath of the void!

Chapter 66: First Battle with the Darkin

Void!

Nayafili's eyes revealed a very obvious hatred, although the long years had almost wiped out her resentment. But there were only two kinds of hatred that would always exist in her heart and last forever.

One is the Void, and the other is the Protoss who originally designed her to be sealed into a weapon.

Although thousands of years have passed since that protracted war, the anger in the hearts of the darkites has never dissipated.

The glorious Shurima Empire fell into decline because of the Void, and the glorious Ascended warriors were infected and corrupted into the despised name of Darkin.

The Void destroyed nearly everything in Shurima.

Those guys with the breath of the void...kill them!

Nayafili slowly walked out of the shadows, rows of staggered, drooling fangs exposed to the sunlight, flashing a heart-pounding cold light.

Closer...

Getting closer and closer.

Zhang Xu stared at the sand dunes in the distance with a serious look. He had already seen a pack of dune hounds slowly moving forward at the foot of the dunes, and he seemed to hear their howling one after another in his ears.

In appearance, these dune hounds were not much different from those encountered before, with almost no changes except that they were slightly larger in size.

But Zhang Xu saw a fierce yet wise look in the eyes of the leading dune hound.

There was a sense of overwhelming pressure in the dry air.

It's really Naya Fili...

If he didn't get the dark energy and further control the void energy, it would be difficult to fight against this terrifying guy with only elemental magic and eternal flames. Even now, Zhang Xu was still unsure.

Before being sealed into the dagger by the Protoss, Nayafili was definitely the best among the Darkin, and was about to become the leader of all the Darkin. Her strength was definitely at the level of a demigod.

After breaking the seal and being resurrected among the dune hounds, Nayafili should not have such terrifying strength. Zhang Xu was very clear about this.

The loss of their former bodies had a huge impact on all the Darkin. Some of the resurrected Darkin would be weakened to varying degrees, like Rhaast, who was sealed in the scythe in Kayn's hand, and even had to fight with a mortal for control of his body.

Nayafili was resurrected in a pack of dune hounds, and she couldn't even be resurrected in a human body. Her strength was definitely weakened a lot.

But it might still be very powerful...

This is the first time I encounter an enemy of the Darkin's level... I feel a special kind of excitement in my heart.

While Nayafili was still not in a hurry to arrive, Zhang Xu turned around and quickly explained:

"If things go wrong later, take Taliyah and leave here immediately. I'll buy you some time... Nayafili shouldn't have time to chase you."

Nayafili?

Zhang Xu actually took me so seriously, and it could even be said that he was facing a formidable enemy...

Kassa frowned and didn't say anything, but a hint of stubbornness emerged from the depths of her eyes.

Abandon Zhang Xu and run away with Talia?

不 ...

She can't do it!

Trapped in the underground world, watching her tribe members die one by one, and grieving the death of her mother. Kasa didn't want to experience these experiences again. At that time, she was still young and had no abilities, so it was fine.

But now, she absolutely would not allow Zhang Xu to face the problem alone!

Kasa stretched out her hand and put it into Zhang Xu's palm without saying a word.

Although Kasa didn't say anything, Zhang Xu already understood what she meant.

Zhang Xu was somewhat surprised by Kassa's persistence, but he also felt that this was the choice Kassa would make.

Although Kassadin had no objection to his decisions in recent times, deep down, she was still that tenacious warrior.

Once she made up her mind, Zhang Xu couldn't change her mind even if he spoke.

"coming."

Zhang Xu's expression tensed up, and his whole body tensed up instantly.

In the sight of the three people, a group of dune hounds appeared in front of them in a swaggering manner, without concealing their whereabouts.

The moment he saw Nayafili, Zhang Xu quickly drew several spells in front of him.

Since Nayafili is destined to have bad intentions, let's take advantage of this opportunity and strike first!

The most abundant thing in the desert is the free earth element that fills the space. A very obvious energy soon began to surge in the desert.

The ground shook violently, as if something was about to break out of the ground. The shaking started from the ground where Zhang Xu was, and spread to where the dune hounds were. After the violent shaking, the ground cracked instantly, and a huge stone pillar broke out of the ground, trying to disperse the hounds.

Following Zhang Xu's movements and the sudden changes on the ground, Kassa hid her body without any hesitation, and the open wings behind her helped her hide quietly in the dark.

Just like before in the void, lurking and waiting for an opportunity to hunt.

Taliyah's reaction was a little slower, but she also reacted quickly after Kassadin's figure disappeared. Although she was somewhat amazed at the majestic elemental power that Zhang Xu had mobilized, Taliyah was not distracted by it.

The rock formation that appeared when dealing with the bandit leader reappeared in the air.

Taliyah, who has initially mastered her own power, is already able to control this rock formation.

Under Taliyah's guidance, the rock formation blocked the path of the hunting dogs.

Zhang Xu knew that this level of magic could not do anything to Nayafili. So after finishing a magic spell, Zhang Xu did not pause at all and continued to draw in the air with his hands.

A high-level magic with more techniques and more complicated to depict!

As expected, the magic that Zhang Xu cast first did not cause any harm to Nayafili.

The abrupt stone pillar protruding from the ground seemed to rise from the center of the desert hunting dog pack, enough to cause the pack to fall into chaos.

But in fact, Nayafil was not resurrected only in the leading dune hound, but in the entire pack! In other words, the dune hound pack has only one will, and that is Nayafil's will!

For magic of this level, Nayafili only needed to think about it and scatter all the hounds to avoid it.

Unless she can't react.

【Hate/h ...

But obviously, this is impossible.

The protruding stone pillars failed to cause any harm to Nayafili, at most they only served as a buffer.

The scattered pack of hunting dogs soon gathered together again.

Chapter 67 The Rolling Behemoth

Under Nayafili's control, all the dune hounds turned their heads at the same time, with bloodthirsty gleams in their cold eyes.

The eyes of these dune hounds did not fall on Zhang Xu, who attacked her with magic, but instead fell on a corner behind Zhang Xu.

In that place, she felt the breath of emptiness.

The breath of lowly void things.

Tear it up! Tear it up completely!

The leading dune hound raised its head and howled toward the sky, and then the hounds behind her also began to howl one after another.

The sound continued to spread and echo across the empty desert, like an alarm bell, ringing in the hearts of the three people.

Under the influence of this sound, Zhang Xu's carving movements even froze for a moment.

Although this slight stagnation did not affect the depiction of the technique, nor the performance of the magic, it cast a shadow over Zhang Xu's heart.
