LOL: Let me touch your steel

This giant beast has already come near Nayafil, not far in front of them!

Under the astonished gazes of several people, the limbs and head of the giant beast finally stretched out from the outer shell. The strong and powerful limbs were supported on the ground, and the exaggerated weight even made the ground beneath it sag a lot.

This body type...

There isn't much difference between it and the Fear of the Void, right?

Appearing in front of them, it was like a small mountain was standing in front of them!

And the identity of this giant beast... seems to be indeed the Armored Dragon Turtle, the only rare creature left in Shurima.

Zhang Xu had never imagined that such a small creature in the game would have such an exaggerated size in Runeland.

Oh no.

It seems that there are few heroes of normal size in the whole of Shurima.

Zhang Xu pulled Kassadin and asked Talia to take a few steps back.

The sudden appearance of the dragon turtle seemed to have nothing to do with them.

Its target of this trip should be...Nayafili?

Nayafili opened her eyes full of wisdom, and a hoarse voice came out of her mouth:

"Ramos, you are still alive... That's right, someone like you can indeed survive forever."

The only response to Nayafil was silence. The giant beast, which had not made any noise since it came here, just stared at Nayafil calmly. No one could guess what was in the beast's mind.

"What? Is the guardian of Shurima planning to get rid of me?"

Seeing that the dragon turtle ignored him, Nayafili's words were filled with obvious sarcasm.

It is not difficult to analyze from the conversation between the two that Nayafili and the Dragon Turtle definitely knew each other before. One was a god warrior from thousands of years ago, a fallen darkin, and the other was an unknown behemoth that survived in the Shurima Desert for a long time. Their relationship seemed to be more complicated than Zhang Xu imagined.

only...

The patron saint of Shurima?

What does it mean?

Is the Dragon Turtle the patron saint of Shurima?

Zhang Xu frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

No matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be the Dragon Turtle's turn to be the guardian angel, right? Or... is his understanding of the Dragon Turtle actually wrong?

Chapter 72 The More Vicious Your Mouth, the Harder the Punishment

"As you said..."

A dull and heavy voice came out from the dragon turtle's mouth. The answer was brief and to the point, and its eyes remained calm the entire time.

In response, Nayafili sneered and said in a strange tone:

"You think you can kill me?"

"You are nothing but a beast guarding the gate. Thousands of years ago, you would not even be qualified to talk to me!"

It sounded like a very domineering statement, but Zhang Xu always felt that Nayafili was a little bit timid at the moment.

Nayafili seemed to be...afraid?

It should be.

The specific strength of the dragon turtle is not described in the background story, and even the description of its identity is very vague. But from the few words in the background story and the information that Nayafili just accidentally revealed... the dragon turtle existed in the Shurima Empire at least thousands of years ago.

The gatekeeper... the guardian angel...

These two seemingly unrelated words cast a veil of mystery over the dragon turtle.

But what is certain is that Nayafil is no match for the Dragon Turtle. Otherwise, Nayafil would not have behaved like this, and would have attacked them directly like he did just now.

Facing Nayafil's scolding and even insults, the Dragon Turtle never showed any emotion, but just replied in a very calm tone:

"Oh."

The verbal conversation seemed to end here, because the dragon turtle had retracted its limbs into its shell.

It seemed that in the next moment, this huge monster would charge and roll.

There was a flash of panic in Nayafili's eyes.

If it was thousands of years ago, when she was still a god warrior, she would not care about such a small dragon turtle. Even if it had fallen and become a darkborn, the dragon turtle was not qualified to stand in front of her and talk to her.

But now...there is absolutely no way she can be a match for the Dragon Turtle!

Nayafili actually didn't know much about the origin of the dragon turtle. This huge creature seemed to have suddenly descended into Shurima and became the companion of the then ambitious Shurima Queen Setaka?

Or a pet.

But Nayafili had not seen the dragon turtle many times. She had only seen this taciturn dragon turtle, Ramos, during some important sacrificial activities.

Whether it was Queen Setaka's conquest of other regions or the subsequent great war with the void, Ramos was not present. Its job seemed to be just to guard the peace of the yellow sands of Shurima.

Moreover, after Queen Setaka died in the battle against the Void, this rarely seen dragon turtle never appeared again in the sight of these few remaining god-warriors.

Even in the subsequent Darkin War that lasted for hundreds of years, it did not appear.

Some god-warriors speculated that Rammus might have become the guardian beast of Queen Setaka's tomb; some people also speculated that this only remaining dragon turtle in the world had disappeared in the yellow sands of Shurima.

Even the recognized wise man Nasus could not tell exactly where Ramos went.

It was not until the fall of the Shurima Empire that this behemoth, which had disappeared for hundreds of years, reappeared in the desert.

Even many passing caravans have seen it, and Nayafili himself only recently learned that Ramos has become active again.

It once broke into the impregnable fortress of Ceylon, turning this huge and terrifying fortress full of magical fear into dust; in the year of the great flood, it crossed Lake Imali in less than two days, dug a cave several miles deep, destroyed a huge ant nest, killed the queen ant, and eliminated the pest for nearby farms; when the Noxian warband invaded and attacked the Shurima settlement in the north, it suddenly appeared and helped the Shurimans repel the Noxians.

Like a guardian god, it guards this land that was once full of glory.

When Nayafili learned about these things, he sneered at Ramos. The Shurima Empire has disappeared for many years, and you only remember to defend this land now?

What were you doing during the Void War?

Where were you during the Darkin War?

It can't be that they are really guarding the tomb of Queen Setaka as those god warriors speculated?

In short, Nayafili was full of contempt for Ramos. But she had to admit that she was definitely not Ramos's opponent now. Although Ramos rarely showed his strength, he should at least be at the same level as the Ascendant!

"Get lost, Ramos!"

Looking at the dragon turtle rolling towards him, Nayafili let out a shrill scream.

The huge body rolled across the desert, raising clouds of dust, and the ground began to shake again.

Ramos's speed was so fast that he almost left a ghostly afterimage on the ground, and Nayafili had no way to avoid it and could only endure being knocked away by Ramos.

The dense pack of dogs fell to the ground at this moment. The huge number of dogs could not withstand Ramos's impact. In just one blow, countless dune hounds died under this impact.

The only hunting dog that was different from the other dune hounds was also sent flying backwards by this collision. It fell heavily to the ground in mid-air like a kite with a broken string.

Looking at this scene, Zhang Xu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice, and subconsciously pulled Kassadin and Taliyah back a distance.

The current conflict seems to have nothing to do with them anymore. They have changed from Nayafili's prey to spectators, while Nayafili is being chased by Ramos.

But despite this, Nayafili did not stop cursing:

"Ramos, you damned beast!"

"You deserve to die! You coward!"

"I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"

Along with these curses came Nayafili's occasional sharp whistles.

After every vicious curse, Nayafili would be hit hard by the dragon turtle.

Obviously, the dragon turtle's mood is not as calm as it appears.

Some of Nayafili's words still touched the heart of this eternal being.

"Is this...dog going to be killed right here? Should we...leave here now?"

Looking at the bloody and slightly funny scene in front of her, Talia was frightened and tentatively put forward her suggestion.

Nayafili no longer had time to attack them, so sneaking away at this time seemed to be the best option.

Chapter 73: Marrow Seal Market

Leave...

good idea!

Although Ramos has not shown any ill will towards them now, he may turn his attention to them after dealing with Nayafili. Although he has obtained some of the power of ascension from Nayafili, he knows too little about Ramos.

Since we have no idea of ​​Ramos' strength, leaving here now is definitely the best option.

As for Nayafili...good luck to you bro!

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

Zhang Xu nodded vigorously and winked at Kasa.

Kassa, who already had enough tacit understanding, understood instantly and directly pulled Zhang Xu and Talia to run wildly.

Zhang Xu, who was always paying attention to Ramos and Nayafili, clearly saw that when they chose to leave, Ramos' rolling body suddenly stopped for a moment.

Then, he continued to charge towards Nayafili.

......

After leaving the place where Ramos and Nayafili fought, the group traveled in the desert for a while before finally arriving at the Marrowmark Market, a trading place marked on Ezreal's map.

The scene here was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Zhang Xu originally thought that this should be a sparsely populated market, at least there wouldn't be too many people, at most it would be a transit station in the desert.

He didn't expect that there were many more people in this place than he had imagined.

This Marrow Seal Market, built on the remains of the ribs of some ancient desert beast, is under the sunlight. Crowds of people are scattered throughout the market, eagerly discussing the prices of the items on the stalls. It is a very lively scene.

Even Taliyah, who had some fantasies about the Marrow Seal Market, stared at the scene in front of her in amazement. The size of this market... was even bigger than what her people had described.
