The Glory of Noxus

In the dark slaughterhouse.

Huo Jixing stood quietly on the spot. The fire of Nanli had quietly extinguished, leaving only a faint residual warmth.

He did not leave immediately, but prepared to use this rare opportunity to regain his strength as soon as possible.

For this reason, he was afraid that the glow of the Nanli Fire would attract the nearby Iron Hook Gang minions to quietly release his spiritual power.

Under the interference of spiritual power.

The perception of the minions near the slaughterhouse became dull and blurred, and they looked drowsy.

Huo Jixing walked towards the long blood-colored wooden tables and began to enjoy the fruits he had stolen.

After a cup of tea.

The pieces of sea animal meat in the slaughterhouse have been almost emptied by Huo Jixing.

He glanced at the sky with unsatisfied thoughts and prepared to continue taking action.

Afterwards, Huo Jixing left the slaughterhouse belonging to the Iron Hook Gang and headed for the next target.

Under the cover of night, Huo Jixing shuttled through various areas of the slaughterhouse, absorbing the flesh and blood energy in the pieces of sea beast meat in the same way.

Until it gets brighter.

Huo Jixing stepped out of the slaughterhouse covered in blood, flesh and bones, with a sense of satisfaction on his face.

Under the cover of the mist, he walked leisurely in the narrow and dark alley. The fire of Nanli in his body gradually revived and ignited after getting enough firewood.

Suddenly.

There were noisy shouts, awakening the silent slaughterhouse.

Huo Jixing immediately realized that he must have been discovered stealing the sea beast meat.

He was not in a hurry, but took stock of his surroundings.

But he saw that he had arrived near the Iron Hook Gang's slaughterhouse at some unknown time.

Huo Jixing chuckled and threw a ball of flame towards the slaughterhouse in front of him.

In an instant!

The flames ignited brightly, illuminating the dark sky red.

The sound of fire burning, the crackling of wood, and the shouts of longshoremen mingled together.

The sudden fire woke up countless sleeping people. They saw the flames shooting into the sky and realized that there was water somewhere.

People began to run around in panic, busy putting out the fire.

The gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang were also freed from Huo Jixing's mental temptation.

They looked at the flames in front of them and were startled. They looked towards the sea of ​​fire with horrified expressions.

Immediately afterwards, the gangsters of the Iron Hook Gang looked at each other and turned around to flee.

They knew in their hearts that if they left now, they would still have a chance to survive.

If he stayed where he was, he would have no choice but to accept the punishment of the Hook Gang, sink into the Sea of ​​Watchers, turn into a watery grave, and become another tragic legend in this city.

Huo Jixing looked at the increasingly chaotic slaughterhouse, took advantage of the chaos and left, disappearing into the narrow and dark alley.

Time is like water, slowly flowing through a deep underground river.

In these few days. Huo Jixing's body has recovered a lot.

He no longer looked as skeletal as before, but much plumper and regained his former figure.

Suoke thought it was his mother's credit and praised Aretha's cooking skills in front of Huo Jixing.

He excitedly described his mother's cooking skills, carefully preparing dishes every day.

Huo Jixing laughed softly as he listened to Suok's description, echoing Suok's words.

After lunch.

Suoke and Huo Jixing went out together, preparing to go to the nearby coast.

The environment and atmosphere here are completely like two different places compared to the slaughterhouse.

While walking, Suoke spoke to Huo Jixing.

"Xing, I heard that there has been another rumor about a thief near the slaughterhouse recently."

When Huo Jixing heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and pretended to be interested.

"Oh, what's the rumor?"

"It is said that there is a monster who steals at night. He often goes to the slaughterhouse to steal pieces of sea beast meat."

Sock laughed and told anecdotes about the slaughterhouse.

"No matter how well people on the docks take precautions, it doesn't help. There's always a slaughterhouse that's going to be robbed."

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect there to be such a monster besides the Blood Harbor Ghost."

Huo Jixing's heart moved and he shrugged his shoulders.

"Then there's a lot of panic on the dock now?"

"Yes, people on the dock are now talking about this thief monster and are very worried about the safety of their belongings." Suok agreed.

"I wonder what kind of power this monster has. It can easily break through the dock's defenses."

Huo Jixing shook his head slightly, knowing that he had made a bit of a fuss.

Fortunately, there is a blood harbor ghost who wants his life, and if he is a piece of sea beast meat, he will not attract too much attention.

He and Thok continued chatting and enjoying the leisurely afternoon.

The two walked to the door of the tavern and pushed in.

This tavern located on a cliff has a very good business and is bustling with people inside.

Most of them are dock workers, hunters out to sea, or pirates taking a break.

Huo Jixing and Suoke found a seat in a corner to sit down, ordered a few beers, and listened to the chatter of people around them.

Rumors of thieves at the Slaughter Docks became a ripple here.

Huo Jixing shook his head secretly, feeling calm in his heart.

No matter what the outside world said, he only needed to act according to his plan, continue to absorb the power of flesh and blood, and regain his strength.

And those rumors about the thief monster will only become an interesting memory for him in this city.

Late afternoon.

Suoke took Huo Jixing back from the nearby cliff path.

Bilgewater is a mixed bag, a paradise for sea hunters, dock gangs, and smugglers.

In the dark alleys of the dark streets, no one cares about your past.

Huo Jixing also saw nobles from the former Kingdom of Demacia selling their noble badges.

There are also some tribal warriors from Freljord who serve as guards to protect their employer's wealth.

He even met legionnaires from the Noxian Empire.

Through insinuations, he learned that these people were deserters from the Ionian War.

When returning to the stone house.

Huo Jixing and Sock unexpectedly saw Barnes arriving.

The harpooner of the Hunter Tooth pirate ship was chatting with Aretha and looked very familiar with her.

Seeing Sock and Huo Jixing returning, Barnes greeted them warmly.

"Hey, you two came back just in time."

Barnes said with a smile, a generous smile on his face.

"The reward for the turtle fish has been divided. The captain asked me to deliver it."

As he spoke, he took out a linen bag from his pocket and shook it gently, and there was a clear sound of silver snake coins colliding inside.

This sound is undoubtedly the most beautiful piece of music for Sok.

"Well, this is your share."

Barnes handed the bag to Sock, a glimmer of appreciation in his eyes.

"You guys have done a good job, and my love for you has not been in vain."

Suoke took the bag and opened it eagerly, only to see many shining silver snake coins lying inside.

He counted excitedly, with a satisfied smile on his face.
