LOL: Let me touch your steel

Looking at the figures who were busy again not far away, Talia's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

Although she could not fully master her own power, Taliyah could still sense that the people below were not very strong. Most of them were at most slightly stronger than ordinary people.

There are only a few people who can give her a certain sense of oppression.

"No hurry, let the bullet fly for a while."

Zhang Xu curled the corners of his mouth and watched the actions of the mercenary group below.

After a series of surveys, they finally found a very hidden underground passage - a hole that was only wide enough for one person to enter.

And Shiver's mercenary group is now sending people to check the safety of this underground passage.

There was no point in going down and interrupting them now. Zhang Xu had no idea about the underground passage below, so it would be better for him to follow behind them and avoid all kinds of traps.

Everything just needs to be left to nature.

As time passed, Shiver's expression was no longer as calm as it was at first, but turned ashen.

Years of experience told her that the men she sent down to check on the situation might already be in danger.

Xiweier's heart suddenly trembled. These subordinates of hers had been with her through life and death, and they could be called veterans. But even so, they still encountered an accident, and not even a little news came out.

This is enough to prove that this dark underground passage is dangerous!

Unlike Sivir's expression, a seductive smile gradually blossomed on Cassiopeia's lips, and excitement welled up in the depths of her eyes.

She encountered such danger just after entering the underground passage, which means she found the right place!

At the end of the underground passage, there must be something she is looking for!

Cassiopeia felt anxious, but there was no expression on her face, and she didn't even urge him.

She knew that Sivir was not the kind of person who would willingly follow orders from others. She needed Sivir's mercenary group to put their lives on the line in the upcoming dangers and traps...

Cassiopeia endured it, quietly waiting for Sivir's decision.

Xiweier looked around, his eyes fell on one of his subordinates after another, and a look of difficulty appeared on his face.

The situation below...is still unknown.

This means that she needs to send other people to confirm, but the two who just went down are already the two most alert subordinates. Even if something happened to them... sending other subordinates down may result in similar situations.

Unless...she goes down there herself.

"Let me do it."

Ezreal volunteered to come forward, his face showing a strong interest.

There should be many traps and dangers in this downward passage. To be precise, there are many deadly traps in the ancient tombs of Shurima.

Having successfully found the Tomb of Ne'zuk, Ezreal is confident that he can survive the same trap.

Xiweier's heart moved, and he nodded slowly: "Be careful."

......

The entrance to the underground cave was very narrow and only one person could pass through at a time, but after walking down for a while, the passage gradually became wider.

With the help of the candle he brought down, Ezreal could see the scene inside the passage clearly.

The first thing that caught my eye was two corpses...the clothes they were wearing were the mercenary uniforms of the Sivir Mercenary Group!

Seeing this scene, Ezreal immediately perked up and looked around vigilantly.

Only after confirming that there were no traps around did Ezreal step forward to investigate the cause of death of the two mercenaries.

There was a sharp bronze blade stuck in the face and chest of the two corpses. Judging from the angle where the blade shot into their bodies...it should have been shot from this direction.

Ezreal looked at a corner of the passage with a serious expression, and sure enough, he found a device for launching hidden weapons there.

After thoroughly understanding the structure of the underground and the cause of the mercenary's death, Ezreal had the leisure to look at the surrounding scenery.

In the dim light of the candle, Ezreal saw a seemingly bottomless tunnel with no end in sight, like a dark behemoth that swallowed up all the light.

The road ahead is still full of unknown dangers.

Ezreal withdrew his gaze and began to look at the rock walls on both sides.

What is engraved on the rock wall should be... a mural?

Ezreal carefully approached the rock wall on the left and observed the mural on it. What was recorded on it seemed to be the story of a god-warrior who expanded the territory in ancient Shurima.

Is this divine warrior the owner of this ancient tomb?

Ezreal frowned. His instinct as an explorer told him that this ancient tomb might not be as simple as it seemed.

If it was just the tomb of a god-warrior, it shouldn't have attracted the attention of a Noxian noble lady and she wouldn't have come in person.

There must be a bigger secret hidden in this tomb!

-------

"All these people have finally gone down... Just now it seemed that some of them have died. Should we go down now?"

Taliyah moved closer to the entrance of the tomb and looked towards it with some curiosity.

It was pitch black inside and I couldn't see anything.

After Zhang Xu dealt with the Noxian soldiers and mercenaries who were responsible for guarding outside, he stood at the edge of the cave, with a flash of purple in his eyes.

But then, Zhang Xu shook his head helplessly.

Even he couldn't see clearly what was in the tomb.

"Taliyah, can you sense anything from the rocks?"

"No, I've already tried."

Taliyah shook her head. "I didn't find this ancient tomb when I first explored the entire ancient capital... Now that the entrance to the tomb has been opened, it's still the same. There seems to be some kind of power inside that blocks my perception. I can't make any connection with the rock at all."

Hearing this, Kasa subconsciously frowned: "But we can't just wait here and wait for them to come out, right? I think it's better to follow them all the time."

"Follow them."

Zhang Xu made a quick judgment.

Indeed, even if he did nothing now and just waited here quietly, everything would still happen.

But the resurrection of the Tsar and the reappearance of Shurima are at least a major event in Runeterra...

Zhang Xuke didn't want to miss this kind of excitement.

What's more, he could feel that the ascension power in his body was being summoned, some unknown summons.

The feeling was very weak, but it was enough to create a desire in Zhang Xu's heart.

Chapter 79 Shock in the Ancient Tomb

"Cassiopeia! What on earth do you mean!"

Sivir held the huge crossblade in her hand and cast an angry look at Cassiopeia who was standing opposite her. The crossblade in her hand was ready to go. Behind her stood one mercenary after another, all staring at Cassiopeia who was guarded by Noxian soldiers with cold eyes.

The atmosphere in the entire passage suddenly became tense.

Ezreal also stood behind Sivir. Even though he had seen enough death and blood during the expedition, there was still an unconcealable anger on Ezreal's face.

He had never imagined that this seemingly young and beautiful woman could have such a cold-blooded heart!

He was simply sending Sivir's men to their deaths in order to achieve his own goals!

This indifference and contempt for life made Ezreal feel a little cold in his heart.

Despite being threatened by Sivir's cross blade and facing Sivir's angry expression, Cassiopeia remained unmoved and even showed an innocent smile on her face:

"Miss Sivir, I don't understand what you mean."

"Stop pretending!"

Xiweier looked at the femme fatale in front of him fiercely, his tone full of resentment:

"My mercenary group has lost too many people. This loss has far exceeded our expectations... I want to terminate this commission!"

"Oh? Terminate the commission? Miss Sivir, are you sure?"

Cassiopeia walked slowly forward surrounded by Noxian soldiers, ignoring the mercenaries behind Sivir who were ready to fight, and whispered in a tone that only Sivir could hear:

"Don't forget how much I will pay you for this commission! Miss Sivir, such a huge fortune should be more than you can get from taking on any other commissions, right?"

Cassiopeia took a step back and said in a louder voice: "I thought the famous mercenary group in the Shurima Desert would have the spirit of contract to complete the mission at all costs. I didn't expect that they are a group of cowards who are afraid of death?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the mercenaries behind Sivir cursed loudly.

If it weren't for Sivir suppressing them from the front, they would probably have rushed forward directly.

Seeing this, Cassiopeia smiled mockingly: "I will pay you a high salary, and you are responsible for taking me to the place I am looking for. This is what you agreed to when you accepted the commission. Now, Miss Sivir, you want to tell me that you want to terminate the commission?"

"Miss Sivir, are you teasing me?"

Xiweier's face suddenly turned ugly.

It’s not because of the spirit of contract that Cassiopeia mentioned... Sivir had already abandoned this spirit long ago, otherwise she would not have been able to get this cross blade from her employer.

Xiweier's face looked grim because it was impossible for her to return such a high reward.

Because there shouldn't be much of the rewards distributed to her subordinates left at this time, even if she wanted to terminate the mission, she would not be able to return the rewards.

Unless they are all killed here, this account will become a dead account forever.

only...

It's hard.

They had already lost too many brothers to get here, and now the number of the entire mercenary group was only equal to that of the Noxian soldiers.

It's hard to get any benefit by taking action...

Even if they managed to kill Cassiopeia and everyone here, the Noxian military would never give up, and their entire mercenary group might suffer brutal revenge.

A noble lady with a military background and a not insignificant background.

Shiver narrowed his eyes slightly, trying his best to suppress the impulse in his heart, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates behind him to restrain themselves as well.

"That's right! I don't want to hear such voices again, Miss Sivir."

As she spoke, Cassiopeia's expression suddenly turned cold, and she threatened without disguising, "I can't endure it every time."
