Void Beetle Evolution Guide

However, when Volibear learned about this, he was furious. He felt that Ornn was too kind to mortals. If mortals could fill their stomachs at any time, they would become cowardly and incompetent!

Volibear sent out the bears to brutally kill Ornn's followers, and forcibly moved the large urn carrying Ornn's goodwill to their mountain as a warning to others.

"What do you think of this story?" After the story was told, the Wild Hunter casually asked Ashe.

"It sounds like something people made up. Even if you use it to comfort children, it's hard to convince them." Ashe frowned and did not hide her doubts. If it wasn't said by the Wild Hunt, she wouldn't have the patience to listen to it.

There are too many unreasonable places in this story. Take the matter of Anivia giving the heart. Ashe had the honor of seeing Anivia in person and seeing the appearance of those ferocious snowmen. In her opinion, how could Anivia give her heart to two snowmen so easily? Those snowmen are clearly pure beasts without reason. This behavior undermines her image of wisdom. Unless she knew that the snowmen would be sacrificed by Lissandra, then wouldn't she be an accomplice to the incident?

Furthermore, Braum's claim that eating a stew would allow him to cross the blizzard is too childish and ridiculous. Didn't he know that Nunu could get Ornn's urn? If he could cross the barrier set by Anivia after eating, then he should be able to do it even if he wasn't full. It's better to say that he was sent by Anivia to test Nunu in this way.

And the process of Nunu finding the Hearthland was too bizarre. For thousands of years, countless devout Lu family members have embarked on the pilgrimage to the Hearthland with full enthusiasm, but most of them died in the hands of looters on the way and never reached that sacred place. But how did Nunu find the Hearthland so easily? This really makes people feel unfair and unconvincing.

"Legends are all made up based on facts. The details may be different, but the core content will not deviate." The Wild Hunt said: "It is not difficult to verify the authenticity of this story. You only need to go to the land of the lost and take a look from afar. Ornn's forging skills are extraordinary, and the power of the artifacts he forged cannot be hidden. When you get there, you will find that the sky of the mountain where the bears placed the urn has been dyed blood red by Ornn's power."

"Even if that's true, going to the bear's territory to steal the urn is no different from committing suicide." Ashe leaned against the pine tree, saying with a headache. It was the first time that the war mother showed such a worried expression. "Besides, not long ago, that Nira went to cause trouble for Volibear. I'm afraid that Sejuani will run into Volibear who is angry and be struck by lightning when she goes there."

“I think this is a great opportunity to fish in troubled waters. If the time is right, while Nyra attracts all the attention of the Volibear, Sejuani’s chances of grabbing the jar will be greatly increased. Once the Winter Claw gets the jar and has endless food, they will no longer have to go south to plunder, and the peace you expect will come sooner.”

The Wild Hunt paused, and then said, "Besides, this is also an opportunity for you to reconcile with Sejuani. If you can lend a helping hand to her when she is in danger, just like she saved you, perhaps you two, who were once close comrades, may still be able to reconcile."

"Reunited..." Ashe pondered over the word and fell silent.

The more she understood the truth, the more she realized how difficult it was to unite the Freljord. However, the Wild Hunt revealed a path she had never imagined, allowing her to find the possibility of a perfect ending.

Author's words: I may not have time to write tomorrow's update as I have to go to my hometown to visit my relatives, so I'd like to take a leave of absence here.

Chapter 261: Snowman and Poro

===================================

When Kasa and the others got up the next day, they found that the snow at the entrance of the cave was more than half a meter high.

"Wow, I almost died in there!" Talia exclaimed somewhat exaggeratedly.

If the snow got heavier and covered the entrance of the cave, and the campfire in the cave continued to consume oxygen, then if they were just ordinary people, they might really suffocate to death in their sleep.

"There was no one on guard last night?" Kassadin, who was still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up. She fell asleep comfortably after talking with the Wild Hunter last night and did not think about these things at all.

After looking around, he found that no one stood up. Obviously, they all agreed in their hearts that the Wild Hunt would warn them of approaching danger.

Kaisa sighed in her heart. This was completely different from herself in Shurima. She had no sense of crisis at all.

"What are you standing there for? Come over here and shovel the snow."

After some effort to shovel the snow, they arrived outside the cave.

It was bright outside, and the blanket of snow all over the mountains reflected the sunlight, making everything in sight very bright, as if the brightness was turned to maximum, and the light hurt my eyes.

"The snow has stopped?" Ahri squinted her eyes to confirm.

"It won't stop for long. We should take advantage of this time to hurry up and travel."

The group continued on their way and met some riders on the way.

They rode on ferocious beasts, and were obviously plunderers from the north. However, seeing the huge number of slave demons, none of them dared to approach them, and they only watched them from afar until they left.

After a long journey of several days, Kassa and his friends entered a glacial canyon.

There is not much snow here, but it is colder. The sunlight cannot directly reach the canyon, causing the temperature to be much lower than outside, but the existence of the ice walls on both sides will more or less refract some light in, so even the bottom of the canyon is not too dark.

"It's so cold." Talia exhaled white air as she spoke, and the low temperature instantly turned the air she just exhaled into frost. She couldn't help but shiver a few times and tucked her neck into the scarf that was pressed against the stone.

"If you're cold, warm yourself by the fire." Kassa took out a torch from the hive, lit it and handed it to Talia.

"Thank you."There is no plum blossom in the sky, no forest in the sky...

"I want to warm myself by the fire, too!" Ahri immediately came over and held the torch with Taliyah.

The intense heat from the flames made the two feel much more comfortable, but the firelight reflected in the tall ice walls on both sides turned into a creepy cold light.

Suddenly, Kassa felt a cold gaze mixed in the cold light, as if it was hidden in the darkness deep in the ice wall on their right, silently watching them.

This aroused her curiosity, and she turned around and shouted, "Talia, come over here and take a picture of this."

"Oh." Talia obediently held the torch close to the ice.

The firelight penetrated deep into the ice wall, and a strange human face suddenly appeared in front of the three people.

Talia was frightened and immediately shrank back, and the torch in her hand fell out of her hand. Fortunately, Kassa was quick to catch the torch before it fell to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, it's frozen and can't get out." After saying a few words of comfort, Kassadin approached the ice with a torch in hand.

The faces in the ice have both human outlines and wild animal features.

Its skin is gray-black, and its head is bald without any hair. In sharp contrast, its white eyebrows and beard are abnormally lush, like two balls of white flames growing wildly.

The eyes were even more peculiar, with most of the eye white, and only the small black dot in the middle was the pupil. The two canine teeth on the lower jaw were particularly prominent, sharp and eye-catching, almost touching the nose.

When these features are combined in a face, from a human perspective, it looks very strange, like a transition between ape and human.

"What is this?" The doubt in Kasa's heart had turned into a frown. She felt that the creature inside might be an ancient person or savage who had been frozen for who knows how long.

"It's a Yeti." After carefully identifying it, Ashe said confidently, "I've seen hunters catch this kind of creature. They are much more ferocious than trolls."

"Is this what the snowman in the legend looks like? He looks like a muscular old man with white eyebrows..." Saifi was speechless for a while, squinted at it for a few more times, then immediately lost interest and followed Portier into the depths of the canyon.

The group continued to move forward, but the glacier did not seem peaceful. After walking a few miles in the winding canyon, a sound gradually came into their ears.

"There seems to be something mixed in with the sound of the wind." Ali moved her ears sharply, trying to understand the meaning of the sound. After a moment, she frowned and said, "It sounds like snoring."

Kasa listened carefully. The snoring sound was long and loud, as if a giant beast was hiding in some corner of the glacier.

"Keep going, and try to keep your voice down so as not to wake that thing up."

They explored deeper into the glacier and soon found the source of the sound.

There is a fork in the road on the left side of the ice wall ahead. If you walk around a corner along the fork, you will find that it is a dead end. But at the end of the fork, there are two little guys sleeping soundly in a nest made of ice.

They weren't even the same species; the larger one looked like an albino gorilla cub, about the size of a one-year-old baby, covered in sheep-like curly white hair, and looked quite cute.

The little hands and feet were not covered with hair, revealing chubby gray fingers. The mouth was wide open towards the sky, from which came a long snoring sound. Among the neat and white teeth, two fangs that had just begun to develop were more prominent.

The other one was like a fur ball with limbs, too fat to have a neck, the hair on its mouth formed a spiritual mustache, and there were two pointed horns on its head. This little guy was sleeping quietly on the snow with his big pink tongue hanging out, revealing his heart-shaped belly, which rose and fell with his steady breathing, just like a plush toy.

"This seems to be... a snowman cub and a Poro." Ashe looked down at the two little guys who looked completely harmless, her left hand still tightly holding the ice bow.

"Snowman?" Taliyah thought of the face she had seen in the ice before and shook her head in disbelief. "It was so cute! It's hard to believe that it would grow up to be... uh... a snowman."

"I can't accept it either, but this loud snoring is really worthy of its race." Kassa originally thought that the snoring in the canyon came from a sleeping giant beast, but she didn't expect that it was the sound made by such a small guy, which kept echoing in the canyon and was reflected back and forth by the ice walls on both sides and amplified.

"What cute little guys!" Ali immediately tiptoed over, squatted beside the two little guys and poked them a few times with his fingers to test them. Seeing that they were sleeping very soundly, he began to gently stroke them along the direction of their hair growth, feeling very satisfied.

"Be careful, its mother could come back at any time." Ashe warned, but Ahri didn't take it seriously. It was just a snowman, nothing to be afraid of.

"This little Poro has no fangs or claws, and its body is small and its legs are short. How does it survive in the cruel Freljord?" Ahri asked, "Is it just living like this by disguising itself as a yeti cub?"

"Well, it is said that there is a curse on Poro." Ash looked strange and scratched his temples with his fingers and replied, "Legend has it that if someone uses Poro as food because of greed, that person's stomach will burst, and then a lot of Poros will run out. It sounds weird."

"Really?" Ahri widened her amber eyes in surprise and seemed even more curious.

"I'm not sure, but I've never seen anyone or any beast try to take advantage of them. In our Avarosa tribe, there are some herders who specialize in raising Poros. When you go back, you can ask them about it."

"But it's really cute. Can I take one home as a pet?"

When Ahri thought that she would eventually have to leave the team and return to the secret vault in the Shadow Isles to inherit her people's legacy, she suddenly felt lonely.

If you can have such a lovely pet by your side, it will surely alleviate a lot of loneliness.

"Of course there's no problem. Poro is actually very easy to raise. There's no threshold." Ashe replied with a smile. Seeing how much Ahri loved Poro, she also found the scene very interesting.

At this moment, the snowman cub yawned and slowly opened its eyes. When it saw that the person stroking it was not its mother, it immediately howled loudly.

Its sound was refracted and amplified by the ice wall, and it traveled far away. Soon, a response came from the canyon, an angry roar that continued to hit the eardrums.

Chapter 262 Horn Peak

===============================

"Oh no." Hearing the angry roar echoing in the canyon, Ahri's ears drooped. Realizing that she was in trouble, she quickly withdrew her hands from the snowman cub and Poro, and dejectedly sneaked into the team.

"It's just a snowman without magic. It's not a big deal. Don't panic." The Wild Hunt asked the men to stay put. They were outnumbered and didn't need to be afraid of a wild beast. If they moved around, they would easily hurt their own people.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall humanoid monster came running towards them on all fours. This monster was almost identical to the one they had seen in the ice before, with its entire body covered in white hair, broad shoulders, black nails that could tear through ice, and eyes flashing bloody red light, indicating that it was now very angry.

After seeing its howling cubs, it quickened its speed and charged forward into the army of slave demons. It used the slave demons on standby as stepping stones and jumped back and forth between the ice walls. Its body was huge but incredibly agile, which was completely incomparable to the group of slow-witted trolls.

The nimble snowman flew over the heads of several people. After landing, he looked at his cub with a grunt, then turned around and roared at the three people, guarding the cub tightly behind him.

Violent sound waves came one after another, and broken ice began to fall from the broken places on the ice wall. Kassa pulled Talia back and retreated repeatedly, leaving the danger zone before being hit by ice.

Rumble!

The fallen ice piled up between the two, blocking their view of each other, but the angry snowman immediately climbed to the top of the snow pile and roared at them angrily.

"Don't be angry, Snowman Mother, I didn't hurt your child, we were just passing by..." Ali raised his hands apologetically, indicating that he did not carry any weapons.

However, she was not a beast spirit walker. The snowman could not understand what she was saying, nor could he hear the weakness in her tone. He lifted a huge block of ice from the pile of ice under his feet. The sharp edges were extremely lethal.

"Hey, don't do it! If you don't welcome us, we'll leave now."

The shadow of the huge ice block was right in front of their heads, and Ahri quickly signaled them to retreat. But even so, the snowman still threw the ice block fiercely.

Seeing this, Talia subconsciously wanted to control the rocks to protect everyone. However, in this narrow gap between the glaciers, there were no rocks for her to control.

At this moment, Ashe shot an ice arrow in time, freezing the snowman accurately. And Saifei also swung a punch, instantly shattering the ice that was thrown at everyone, and the ice fragments flew everywhere.

"It won't freeze to death, will it?" Ahri looked at the snowman that was frozen into an ice sculpture but still maintained the throwing action, and heard the miserable cry of the snowman cub behind, and couldn't help but ask with some concern.

"No, this is a snowman. They are very resistant to the cold. It will be able to break free after a while. We have to leave now." Ashe urged.

"Sorry, sorry, it's just too cute. I can't let go once I touch it."

Ahri shrank her neck to express her apology, and the few of them quickened their pace to leave the gap between the glaciers and then entered an open ice field.

For the next two days, they continued to trek across the ice field, passing through the troll territory.

Normally, the eerie and terrifying aura emitted by the slave demon army is enough to be a strong deterrent to other races, just like when humans see the undead, they are often frightened out of their wits.

The Wild Hunt thought that the trolls would also react like this when they saw the slave demons, but they didn't expect that the trolls were born with a lack of brains. There were actually trolls who didn't know how to live or die, and they swaggered forward and asked these "fellow villagers" where they came from.

Everyone in the group was speechless. It seemed that he had overestimated the intelligence of the trolls.

Fortunately, there was no conflict between the two sides. The Troll King seemed to have some brains. After those reckless guards said they would go back to report, they never appeared again.

"We're almost there!"

The group continued to move forward along the rugged mountain road. At this time, they had been on the journey for more than a week. The ice dragon Portil, who was ordered by the Wild Hunt to walk as a human, saw a snowy peak not far away and gave a rare excited cheer.Mei didn't think that Kong Yong didn't have Lin You Yong......

"Where to? Frostguard Fortress?" asked Kassadin.

"No, it's Horn Peak. That's just the vault where Lissandra stores her army of demon slaves. Frostguard Fortress is even farther away. It's located on the most hidden wound in this world. Ordinary people may not be able to find it even if they spend their entire lives." There was a flash of displeasure in Portier's eyes, but he still explained patiently.

"Then how do those frost priests make the pilgrimage to the fortress?" This time it was Ashe who raised the question.

"Lissandra will give guidance in their dreams. Those who don't have this guidance won't be able to find the way at all." Portier began to get a little impatient, and after he finished speaking, he walked quickly forward.

After more than ten days of adaptation, she has become accustomed to this human body, but she still cannot get used to humans talking to her in an attitude other than awe. It feels... cheap.

Yes, this is blatant racial discrimination.

"So this is what revelation is." Ashe wisely did not ask any more questions and continued to follow Portier's pace.

When they got to the foot of the mountain, they found that the so-called Horn Peak was indeed worthy of its name. It was like a horn growing out of the ground, with the big end on top and the small end on the bottom, and they were about to enter the small end of the horn for air intake.

"Is this mountain formed naturally?" Talia asked curiously. It was the first time she saw such a strange mountain.

"Legend has it that this is Ornn's masterpiece. When he was bored, he made a horn for himself, but when he blew it, it exhaled flames that shot up into the sky, like a volcanic eruption. This was too dangerous, so he abandoned the horn, forming the Horn Peak we see today." Portier replied.

"Oh, so that's it—" Talia drew out her tone and followed Portier into Horn Peak.

The first thing that appeared in front of them was a narrow cave entrance that could only accommodate two or three people side by side.

Before I entered the cave, I saw a gust of cold wind rushing out wildly. It felt like I was standing on the cusp of a wave, and my hair was dancing wildly in the wind.

Portier walked in front, his pace obviously slowed down a lot, but his whole body was standing in the wind, and as long as his body did not press forward, he would be blown back by the wind.

"Damn it! I'm a dragon, how can this little wind do anything to me!" The strong wind rushed into his mouth and nose, and Portier felt it was difficult to breathe.

It was her first time entering from the vent below. Normally, she would have flown directly to another, more spacious entrance to enter Horn Peak.

The cold wind blew in with a whistle, flowing through the hollow mountain, making a dull humming sound that echoed in the ears, like a ferocious beast tearing everything apart wantonly. This cold wind became the biggest obstacle to their progress, and they could hardly open their eyes.
