LOL: Let me touch your steel

不 ...

It didn't just appear out of thin air...

It came out from the ground!

Feeling the void energy constantly surging in his body, Zhang Xu's face suddenly became solemn.

Zhang Xu sensed the thirst for the energy of nothingness. It was trying to drive himself and devour this terrible energy!

Able to trigger the abnormal movement of void energy...

This blurry black shadow is really an incredible creature!

Zhang Xu thought quickly in his mind, and one hero after another from Ixutal kept flashing by.

Is it...the stone man?

If I remember correctly, the Thing is involved with the Void in the backstory. He is part of a powerful weapon created by the mages of Ixtal to be used against the Void...

In other words, the stone man had truly come into contact with the void.

As the black shadow emerged from the ground, the vibration of the ground gradually weakened until it completely dissipated.

But the shadow was getting closer and closer to them...

Zhang Xu placed his right hand on his heart, using the Eternal Flame to suppress the impulse in his heart.

"How? What happened?"

Nicole opened her lively eyes and looked into the distance curiously. Although she did not have Zhang Xu's excellent eyesight and perception, she could feel that something seemed to be approaching.

"In short, he's not an easy character to deal with."

Nidalee took a deep breath, leaned down slightly, tensed her leg muscles, and pressed the tip of the spear in her hand to the ground.

She was ready for battle.

coming!

And...it's directed at me!

The shadow gradually revealed its shape, and Zhang Xu finally saw the true appearance of the giant beast.

To call him a behemoth is not really appropriate, because his body is not actually that bulky, not to mention comparable to Kog'Maw, and not even as big as Ramos.

But it is such a not-so-huge beast that can still bring a sense of heaviness.

This heaviness supported his body, making his not-so-big frame look more majestic.

It was a giant beast that seemed to be made of gray rocks, with a pair of huge claws on both sides of its body, and all kinds of mysterious patterns all over its body, and a pair of eyes emitting a faint blue light...

Looking at myself!

A feeling of pressure suddenly came over me.

The giant beast finally appeared in everyone's sight. Because of its huge size, a large area of ​​trees around it fell down. The ground, which had originally calmed down, began to shake violently again.

This is...

"The Holy Beast Skarner!?"

Nidalee looked at the giant beast in front of her with some surprise, and there was an incredible look on her face.

There is a holy beast in Ixtal that is revered by people. Legend has it that he existed a long, long time ago. He taught people how to use the earth element and helped them build the holy city that has existed for thousands of years.

He is the patron saint of the region of Ishtar.

Nidalee had never seen Skarner, and had not even heard much about the legends about him, but perhaps she knew more about Ixokhen.

But for some reason, when Nidalee saw this huge body, she subconsciously told him his name.

This is...

Scorpion Lailai?

Chapter 108 Inexplicable

Zhang Xu discovered that since the giant beast appeared, its eyes had always been on him, and perhaps also on Kassa beside him.

As for the other three...

He never paid attention.

The space around him seemed to freeze, and an indescribable feeling of oppression arose, as if there was an invisible stone wall that was constantly squeezing the living space belonging to him and Kassadin.

There is a shadow above their heads that they cannot see.

Under this invisible pressure, Kassadin's breathing even became difficult, and her face soon turned abnormally red.

Zhang Xu's expression changed slightly, and he took a step forward under the pressure.

The ascending energy in the body rippled outward at this moment, the invisible forces offset each other, and Zhang Xu and Kasa's bodies suddenly became lighter.

This sense of oppression has been reduced a lot.

"Human. Your presence makes me feel disgusted."

The giant beast opened its mouth, and the sound seemed to have existed since ancient times. It was vicissitudes yet steady, dull yet deafening like thunder.

A strange gust of wind blew up in the jungle, whistling past.

"Skarner."

Zhang Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and called out the name of the giant beast.

He felt a very terrifying aura from Skarner, the same aura... Zhang Xu had felt from Azir, Xerath and Belvis before.

That is the breath of a demigod!

"The void is an abominable existence."

"Ascension, the blind pursuit of power."

"Human, your existence is a terrible taboo."

Skarner slowly raised his front paws and suspended them in mid-air, as if he might fall at any time.

As early as when Zhang Xu set foot on the land of Ixtal, he had already felt the vague energy of nothingness.

Although it was clear that the void could not invade here at the moment, Skarner, as the patron saint of Ixtal, still appeared here.

What he didn't expect was that he actually saw Zhang Xu here.

Saw a taboo.

Even though Skarner revealed all his secrets in just a few words, Zhang Xu was still not surprised.

Skarner, like Ornn and Volibear, is one of the first demigods to be born. He even existed earlier than Ixtal.

Therefore, it was normal for Skarner to be able to feel the energy present in him since he had witnessed the Void and the Ascendants firsthand.

"Just to survive."

Seeing that Skarner didn't seem to have any intention of taking action immediately, Zhang Xu shook his head and tried to negotiate with him.

Although the void energy in his body was clamoring crazily, eager to be devoured, Zhang Xu knew that there was no point in fighting with Skarner.

Stacked steel?

You need to be alive to do that!

Although Zhang Xu's current strength has basically entered the first echelon, there is still a gap between demigods.

"To live? Maybe."

"But you have wrapped the shroud around yourselves."

Skarner's gaze moved back and forth between Zhang Xu and Kasha. The aura emanating from the two of them made him feel disgusted from the inside out.

"You should not have set foot in Ixtal."

Zhang Xu took a deep breath and looked directly into Skarner's eyes:

"So, what are you going to do? Drive us out? Just because we have the aura of the void?"

Hearing this, Skarner was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking, or weighing his words.

After a while, Skarner spoke again:

"You are not welcome in Ixtal. But... my friend might be very interested in you."

The first half of Skarner's sentence made Zhang Xu frown, but when he heard the second half, he was stunned.

Friend of Scorpio?

Does Scorpio have friends?

As if seeing the doubt in Zhang Xu's heart, Skarner's eyes moved slightly downwards and landed on Zhang Xu's chest:

“The eternal flame of Icathia. I saw the afterglow of Icathia in Master Saijax’s eyes, but my old friend unfortunately missed it.”

"If he misses it again, there may never be another opportunity like this again."

Zhang Xu was speechless because he found that he had no idea what Skarner was talking about.

The eternal flame on his body seemed to...change Skarner's attitude?

Who is the friend that Koskana mentioned?

Being able to be friends with Skarner, the guardian of Ixtal...could he also be some terrifying existence that is not mentioned in the background story?

Skarner moved his body, his eyes passing over Zhang Xu and Kassa and falling on Taliyah.

He felt the fun of Taliyah for the first time in a long time:

"A human being born with an affinity for the earth element... I'm really surprised by the combination of the three of you."

Zhang Xu and Kasa looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Zhang Xu is now becoming more and more confused about Skarner's attitude. At the beginning, he could clearly feel the disgust in Skarner's words, and even felt that he would be driven out of Ixtal by Skarner in the next second.

But then things started to go wrong.

I always feel that Skarner's attitude has inexplicably become much kinder.

"Skarner, what do you want to say?"
