The Glory of Noxus

In the boundless desert, the sand was scorching hot under the scorching sun.

Looking around, there was no trace of life, only golden gravel, which looked extremely desolate.

Only the occasional ringing of bells broke the silence of the desert.

Following the sound, a caravan like a long dragon came into view, slowly moving forward in the Great Desert.

The sturdy body of the Duoman beast ignored the temperature of the scorching sun, and its steps were firm and powerful, as if it could flatten all obstacles.

On the back of the beast, in the tents and wooden houses, human figures could be seen swaying faintly.

And behind the Duoman beast, a group of slaves followed with difficulty.

They wore cotton headscarves covering their faces and heavy robes, but they still couldn't cover them from the scorching sun.

The golden gravel seemed to be ignited under the scorching sun, like red-hot iron sand, making it extremely difficult for them to move forward.

But they could only endure the stinging pain on the soles of their feet and follow the team.

Occasionally, the slaves would take out the iron kettle in their arms, which was their only comfort.

Even though the water in the iron kettle had long become warm, it was still the sweet water of life for them, carefully moistening their cracked lips and throats.

The Midalda caravan had left Keneser for nearly half a month.

Under the leadership of Xiamara, the caravan was preparing to cross the Great Sai Desert and head to the ruined capital of the ancient Shurima Empire.

Finally, they arrived at the end of this trade trip, Narimaj.

On the back of the Doman giant beast in the front, Xiamara looked up at the scorching sun hanging in the sky, turned around and ordered.

"Notify them to rest for an hour."

It was noon, almost the hottest time of the day, and the caravan guards were fine.

But the slaves following behind would definitely not be able to bear it, and the caravan still needed them.

The caravan guards beside Xiamara immediately acted according to the order.

Their actions were quick and orderly, without any hesitation or confusion.

Under the command of the crowd, the five Duoman beasts came together and formed a semicircular circle.

Their thick bodies and rough skins shielded the slaves from the scorching sun, forming a simple summer retreat.

In the shaded area, the slaves sat on the ground with a sense of relief, enjoying the rare rest and starting to make a fire to cook.

The supplies purchased by the caravan were enough to use in the old capital of the ancient Shurima Empire.

These supplies included food, water and other necessities.

Xiamara sat in the wooden house, looking at the orderly scene below with a satisfied look.

Then, her eyes fell on the back of the Duoman beast in the middle, waiting for Charles to appear.

"Hey, it's been so long, Mr. Charles hasn't moved yet?"

Xiamara's eyes were full of doubts, and she got up and walked out of the wooden house, looking at the quiet tent.

"Something is wrong!"

She immediately jumped off the back of the Duoman beast and came to the Duoman beast where Huo Jixing was.

The empty tent in front of her proved Xiamara's guess.

Charles left the caravan quietly for some reason.

Xiamara's eyes flickered, recalling Jarl's special instructions before departure, without too much noise.

After the rest, she continued to lead the caravan along the predetermined route.

The sun was scorching.

It was noon, and there was no wind in the deserted desert, only endless sand dunes.

Huo Jixing, who left the caravan, was surrounded by clouds and mist, soaring in the sky like a blue dragon.

The scorching temperature had no effect on him. With the blessing of the Azure Dragon Star, his body was always refreshing.

However, the almost identical scenery in the desert would bring him some distress from time to time.

Huo Jixing stopped, took out the map given by Jarl from his arms, and compared it.

"Zuruita is ahead, and then we will reach Uzeris by heading northwest."

He calmed down, looked at the scorching sun above his head, and prepared to stay in Zuruita for a while.

If I don't get some food for the snow-white Poro in my arms, it might start to gnaw on my clothes.

White clouds entwined around me, and the warm breeze blew across my face.

Huo Jixing continued to move forward with his head down.

But just after more than ten miles, he saw a strong blood color in the golden desert.

Familiar decorations, familiar bone guards, and waving long-handled weapons.

It was Shakar!

This group of looters had just finished a massacre of an unknown caravan.

Bloody fragments of flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, the bloody red blood moistened the yellow sand, and the strong smell of blood filled the air.

There were also camel-like animal corpses around, which had also suffered cruel massacres.

The Shakar looters were cleaning up the battlefield and picking their own spoils.

"Who is it?"

The leader of the Shakar looters heard the sound of sand, and his face hidden under the veil became solemn.

It was the wind that was talking to him!

He immediately turned his head and looked at a low sand dune behind him.

On the hot sand, a figure appeared silently and observed their killing.

He was slender, with a long sword hanging from his waist and a turban made of gauze, and looked ordinary.

However, the leader of the Shakar raiders smelled an extremely dangerous aura from this guy.

He was too clean!

This was the Great Sai Desert, with endless wind and sand sweeping in, and shrouded in scorching heat.

Huo Jixing looked surprised. Although he did not cover his tracks, he was able to see through his tracks, which showed that the opponent was quite powerful.

"Is it the wind?"

He noticed the wind blowing near the sand dunes, rolling up some gravel and spinning around.

If you don't pay special attention, you will indeed ignore these wind.

Hearing the leader's voice, the Shakar looters stopped looting in their hands like awakened beasts.

They all picked up long-handled weapons and gathered together, and the sharp blades reflected the dazzling sunlight.

Huahua! Huahua! Huahua!

The gravel vibrated and the hot wind whistled.

The leader of the Shakar looters looked at his companions beside him, and took the lead. The bone guard under his feet made a fine friction sound, and the hurricane wrapped the gravel and flew everywhere.

The Shakar looters behind saw the power of the leader and shouted wantonly.

They also drove the solid bone shields and rushed towards Huo Jixing with the momentum of the wave.

Huo Jixing didn't want to take action, after all, the massacre here had nothing to do with him.

But after he opened [Suzaku·Red Eyes and Fire Pupils], he saw that there were two extraordinary people among the group of Shakar looters.

Perhaps they would carry some magic rune items.

Looking at the sand waves coming one after another, Huo Jixing was about to take action, but his expression paused.

He lowered his eyes and saw that the sand dunes under his feet were slowly sinking, and his body sank into it.

[Quicksand Prison]!

The hot quicksand turned into a quagmire, and waves of suction came from the depths, intending to pull him into the bottom of the sand.

Buzz! Buzz!

At the same time, the wind around him suddenly became hurried, like transparent ropes, binding his body.

[Wind Binding Technique]!

"What a good match, one has the ability to control sand and gravel, and the other has the ability to call wind." Huo Jixing thought secretly.

In the desert, these two abilities are enough to cause a local war.

No wonder Shakar can wreak havoc in the Great Desert and even avoid the encirclement of the Noxus War Group.

"But, wind. is also my partner!"

Huo Jixing looked at the Shakar raider who was close at hand and spoke softly.

Under the blessing of the innate ability of the Azure Dragon Constellation, the wind flakes around him loosened their bodies and formed a small group of wind flakes at the fingertips.

"Go!"

Huo Jixing's fingers fell on the Shakar raider, and the wind flakes fell off. As soon as they landed, they turned into a storm that rushed straight into the sky.

In an instant!

The storm raged, and the wind and sand rolled back.

The golden storm was like an old man swaying his body, carrying the power of heaven and earth, engulfing the Shakar raider who rushed over.

The fine wind flakes became sharp daggers, cutting through the raider's robes, cutting through their bodies, and bringing up bright red blood.

The Shakar raiders howled, and the herds of beasts scattered, trying to escape the range of the storm.

But how can human power match the storm?

It only took a moment.

All the Shakar raiders were destroyed, leaving only blood that fell like spring rain, dyeing the battlefield red.

Huo Jixing gently exerted force with his feet, walked out of the quicksand, and came to the only two extraordinary people.

Under his special control, the storm only took their lives.

His eyes swept over the body, Huo Jixing half-crouched and searched.

"Really."

He lowered his head and stared at the palm of his hand, and a necklace of light yellow gems came into view, with ancient words engraved on the edge.

In addition, there was a dagger inlaid with emeralds, the grade was very low.

Huo Jixing directly chose to decompose, and got more than 30 points of essence in total.

[Name: Huo Jixing]

[Essence: 265]

[Strength: 34.82]

[Constitution: 34.82]

[Agility: 34.82]

[Spirit: 34.82]

[Skills: Conquer the Grandmaster, Introspection, Photographic Memory]

[Talents: Star Spirit·Nanli Suzaku, Star Spirit·Donghua Azure Dragon, Star Spirit·White Tiger]

Huo Jixing opened the data panel and immediately looked at the essence.

"It's just a little bit short."

When he stopped in Beljuen, Jarl knew his needs and specially offered him a few magic rune items.

Although most of them were burial items, Huo Jixing didn't dislike them at all. As long as they could provide him with essence, they were good things.

After finishing the work at hand, he stood up and looked at the blood-stained battlefield, and a ball of red-gold flame ignited in the palm of his hand.

Boom!

The fire of Nanli was raging, burning all traces directly like a sea of ​​fire.

Even the unknown caravans were not spared, leaving only clean yellow sand.

In the vast desert of northern Shurima, there is a quiet and prosperous oasis city hidden -

Zureta!

It is not only an important transit station for the largest city in the north [Nashrame], but also a safe haven in the hearts of many caravans.

Unlike Keneser, which is full of chaos and unknowns, Zureta attracts travelers from all directions with its orderly governance and prosperous trade activities.

In addition to relying on the power of Noxus warlords to establish its own patrol team.

In the center of the city, a huge and majestic building is being rebuilt to bring glory to Zureta.

This building was once a symbol of the glory of the ancient Shurima Empire. Now, under the baptism of time, although it is dilapidated, it still exudes awe-inspiring majesty.

The walls of the building are made of precious golden stone, engraved with the words of the ancient Shurima Empire.

There are arc-shaped brackets around, like the palms of a giant extending and opening.

The most eye-catching thing is that above the golden building, there is a broken golden disc floating in the air.

The clergymen are surrounding it, using their faith and power to complete the golden disc.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, and the bright and soft light falls from the surface of the golden disc, like a golden waterfall, sprinkled in every corner of Zurita.

"Sun disc!"

Before Huo Jixing entered Zurita, he had seen the reborn sun disc.

And now under the sun disc, he can clearly feel the brilliant sun power filled in the disc.

Perhaps because it is being rebuilt, the sun power contained in it is very unstable, barely reaching the hero level.

But this is also amazing enough.

On the Valoran continent, a hero-level extraordinary person already has a lot of influence.

When the sun disc is repaired, the power stored in it may be even stronger.

Huo Jixing looked at the sun disc and the Shurimans crawling around it, thinking.

Rumor has it that Nashrameh, the largest city in the North, has rebuilt the Sun Disc and is bathed in the sun's rays.

When he was traveling by sea, he planned to stop in Nashrameh to see the real Sun Disc.

"I hope I won't get involved!"

Huo Jixing sighed and prayed that Katarina's disappearance had nothing to do with these things.

The Sun Disc rose again, and Nasus also appeared with it.

There was also the rumored reborn Azir, as if all the things were happening at the same time.

Huo Jixing looked deeply at the Sun Disc, and did not stay in Zurita for long, and hurried to his destination, Uzeris.
