Legends of Runeterra

Chapter 118: White Fox on the Left, Purple Crow on the Right

Looking up at the handsome face in front of her, Xia's heart did not feel the slightest bit of romance at this moment, but was instead filled with fear and vigilance.

The primitive magic in his body was surging rapidly, and the feathers on his left wing, which were sharper than steel blades, were ready to strike out, ready to create a feather storm at any time.

Sensing the opponent's small movements, Li En let go of Xia's wrist and protected Ahri with his left hand.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Purple Crow, I mean no harm!"

Xia was not at all surprised when Li En revealed her identity.

After being released, she flashed and appeared a few meters away in an instant.

"Who are you anyway?"

"My name is Li En, and I am the Dragon Master of this generation!"

Li En said, releasing a breath of 'dragon power'.

"Shenlong Reverend…?"

Sensing this sacred and majestic aura that seemed to be hanging high in the sky, Xia's expression was filled with doubt and confusion.

But his body was very honest. One foot quietly moved backwards, ready to turn around and run away at any time.

'Another Vastaya of the same type as Ahri, only gaining strength but no knowledge.'

Li En looked at the other person and sighed silently in his heart.

"You must have heard of the spirit of the dragon, right?"

"Of course, everyone knows that! Wait, you don't mean to say..."

"That's right, I am the choice of the Dragon Spirit!"

Li En smiled slightly, and nodded calmly in response to Xia's incredulous gaze.

Xia's expression was a little stiff, but she recalled the description of the 'Spirit of the Dragon' that she had heard in the tribe, and compared it with the power emanating from Li En.

It's not a perfect match, but it's almost there.

Before the opponent used the "power of the dragon", his strength had already crushed her. If he used it, Xia felt that her life and death would depend on Li En's thoughts.

At this point, Xia's original idea of ​​escaping completely disappeared, and the magic power that was ready to be released in her body quickly subsided.

"Very good, Miss Vastaya, what is your name?"

"My...my name is Xia, what can I do for you?"

"Don't be nervous Xia, I don't mean any harm, I just have a few questions I want you to help me answer."

"Please tell me!"

...

With the Dragon Spirit standing up for Li En, Xia told him everything she knew, even though she was a little hesitant.

"So you didn't harm the villagers or burn down the village?"

"Of course! How many plots of land can those villagers occupy? The real threat to us is those guys who built the giant stone 'Kunlong' magic circle and destroyed the natural magic!"

"Then why did it spread that you did it?"

“We don’t know when the news spread, but since then most humans have been frightened into obeying our orders, which made the operation smoother, so we didn’t bother to deny it.

After all, whenever humans do something bad, they always blame it on the Vastaya."

Xia glanced at Li En, her tone filled with helplessness and grievance.

"Okay, I understand. Wulin's action this time is most likely a trap. Whether it's humans or Vastaya, they will be in trouble if they go there!"

"Huh!? What do you mean?"

"What it means is that you have to come with me and stop this killing!"

Li En smiled at Xia and then took her hand.

"Boom~!"

A flash of lightning flew from the forest into the sky.

“Uooaaaaaah~!”

"嘤~!"

...

Being cautious and careful, the two brothers followed the trail and moved forward gradually, approaching the town of Keduo.

Looking at the many refugees with their families, the two frowned slightly, then looked at each other, changed their clothes tacitly, and blended into the crowd to find out.

Not long after, the two brothers met again.

"Brother, something is wrong this time!"

"Yes, indeed! Vastaya people basically won't harm ordinary people, but this time..."

"Humph! Another round of human infighting!"

Jie put the mask back on, his voice cold and contemptuous.

"Okay, Jie, now that we've finished looking at things, let's go to Shuoji Temple!"

Jie was about to nod when he heard this, but suddenly, they both looked towards the direction of Kedo Town in the distance.

"Brother!"

"Junior brother!"

The two looked at each other and then quickly headed towards the town.

...

In the dense forest one kilometer southeast of Keduo Town, nearly four hundred Vastaya in various animal forms gathered there.

"leader!"

Vastaya, who looked like a monkey and was less than 1.2 meters tall, swung from a branch and landed on the ground nimbly.

"Kru, you're back. How are you? Any news?"

"Chief, there is still no news about Purple Crow. I don't know where she went!"

The leader, who was over two meters tall and extremely strong, couldn't help but touch the sharp and strong horns on his head when he heard the news.

"I understand. We can't wait any longer. Let the brothers get ready. This time, for the future of all our races, we must catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

...

The most luxurious building in Keduo Town.

In that hidden basement, a group of old men dressed in gold and silver and with big bellies gathered there.

They once built the Kunlong Stonehenge, expelled a large number of Vastaya, and then accumulated a lot of wealth by picking magical plants without restraint.

As long as they don't provoke the hidden sects, they can be said to be rampant.

But now, it is hiding underground like a rat, with none of its former glory.

Panic, anger, calm... the gentlemen gathered together had different expressions, but their eyes were all focused on the figure in the center.

There was silence for a while, and finally the fattest guy, whose eyes were squeezed into slits by fat and looked panicked, spoke.

"Brother Doss, you asked us to withdraw our personnel here, and we did exactly what you asked!

Now that group of Vastaya are already killing each other, you should come up with a solution quickly!"

"That's right, Brother Doss. If you hold it in any longer, they will attack us!"

"Yeah, even if we keep the refugees out, they won't be able to hold them out for long! Besides, some of those Vastaya can fly!"

...

Looking at this group of people talking at once, Doss, who looked a little thin compared to normal people, smiled slightly.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

As soon as Doss opened his mouth, the people who were arguing stopped instantly, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.

"The solution has naturally been prepared long ago, everyone please look at your feet!"

"Hoo~!"

As Doss raised his hand, the oil lamps on the wall lit up, and the light blue flames illuminated the secret room.

Everyone leaned against the wall and lowered their heads, only to see that the ground beneath their feet was slightly concave, outlining a magic circle that they had never seen before.

"Brother Doss, what is this?"

"The spirit world array can help us summon Vastaya's mortal enemy!"

After Doss finished speaking, he pulled out a dagger from his sleeve, cut a deep scar on his palm that was visible to the bone, then aimed the knife at the circular pit under his feet and let the blood slowly flow in.

After roughly bandaging the wound, Doss, looking pale, raised the dagger and handed it to everyone.
