Traveling day and night is not realistic for these mortals. After riding horses for two hours at night, these people set up tents and rested on the spot, while Balliard sat by the campfire, waiting.

The next morning came.

"You woke up very early, Reed. Do you want to prepare breakfast for these people?"

Balliard believed that Reed had seen him. After all, he was sitting by the bonfire. Now, it was still dark, and he, the person sitting by the bonfire, was very conspicuous, and Reed, the leader of the team, was also

It was the uncle who promised to take Valliard back to their base.

As for the other four people, Campbell is the boy, Patty is the girl, and the last two are big men about the same age as Reed, Jasper and Arnold, these two are brothers.

"Yes, it's time to prepare food. We have to run all day today and we can't do it without filling our stomachs."

Reed narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly returned to normal. He found that there was no sleepiness on Balliard's face. Was it earlier than him at first? He turned his head and looked at the tent prepared for Balliard. There was no sign of it being disturbed at all.

There are no traces, the curtain door is tightly closed.

"Can we get there in one day's travel? Where is the specific location? Your base."

Valliard is not in a hurry, but it is already the 19th and he is ready to return to Salvation on July 1st. In other words, he only has eleven days left this time.

Well, I went to this group of people's organization, and then came back to conquer Marrow Seal City. Eleven days, I don't know if it was enough.

"In the Dasai Desert, due north of Wekaula, we may be able to reach the base the night after tomorrow."

Reed walked to Balliard and found that he didn't feel sleepy at all on his face. He didn't sleep all night and didn't feel tired. This made Reed angry with him for taking Balliard back to the base.

This incident added a lot of worry.

"Dasi Desert..."

Balliyad stopped talking. The desert area to the north of the Kohar Lijiang River is the Dashai Desert, which occupies nearly half of Shurima. To establish a base in such a desert, ordinary people

It is indeed very difficult to find this base.

Thousands of miles from east to west, there is no oasis anywhere. The Great Sai Desert is a barrier that blocks the feudal lords from the northern coastal areas of Shurima. Now the engineering robots that Balliard got from Heimerdinger are being transformed.

The desert area near the City of the Sun naturally includes a part of the Dasai Desert. Maybe that area will be called the Dasai Oasis in the future.

Two days passed quickly. When passing through Wikaola, Jasper and Arnold also went to Wikaola to buy some dry food and bought another horse. Because there was one more horse, Campbell

He and Petty didn't have to share a horse, which increased their forward speed. Otherwise, when it was time to rest soon, they might not be able to reach the base.

"Is this it?"

Balliard looked around and didn't notice anything unusual here. That's right, the organization's base was built underground. From the surface, you might not be able to see much, but this is a desert. A building

In the underground base, if some special "symbols" are not prepared on the surface, it will not be easy for even people within the organization to find this base.

"That's right."

Reed nodded and blew the horn he took out of his arms.

"...Skalash's horn, I really didn't expect to see this thing here."

Balliard glanced at the horn in Reed's hand and was a little surprised.

"Do you recognize this thing? Scar... or something, the leader said that this thing is the horn of that kind of creature, the kind you mentioned, but I have never seen that kind of creature."

When Campbell heard Balliard's sigh, he suddenly became interested. He jumped off the horse and came to Balliard's side, ignoring the dissatisfied look in Petty's eyes behind him. This young man looked like Ezreal.

"Skalash once spread all over the continent of Shurima and was a symbol of prosperity. People on this continent used to be proud to have a Sklash, but now, this creature seems to have become extinct."

Skalash is also an extraordinary creature, and is a dependent of the god Zhuan. With the blessing of the god Zhuan, it is most likely extinct. After all, extraordinary creatures will no longer appear in Runeterra. Even if they did not move away at the beginning, they will now

I don’t know what it has degenerated into, maybe a camel? At most it is stronger, haven’t you seen dragon birds degenerating into eagles?

"The leader seems to have said this too... He also said it was a pity."

Campbell grew up in the organization and was childhood sweethearts with Patty. He has been receiving new members of the organization since he was a child. After all, it is not easy to survive in this desert. The organization will not provide for idlers. Even children must play their role.

, did what he could, but among the people he had received, no one recognized the horn, and Balliard was the first.

"Is it a pity? It is indeed a pity. There is also the Doman Behemoth, which is said to be the earliest RV. A large group of people live on the back of the Doman Behemoth, relying on it to walk around in the desert.

, it was once a major feature of the Shurima continent, but now it is invisible, so the sand beasts are still there, surviving from that distant era."

In fact, Ryze may not have notified a few sand-lurking beasts, because this kind of

Creatures are different from humans who live in groups. Even their reproduction depends on luck. As the sand-lurking beasts move forward on their own path, they may not meet a similar person for more than ten years, and when they meet the same kind, they happen to be of the opposite sex.

, the season is spring again, and the sand-lurking beasts will reproduce.

But... even if the female sand-lurking beasts are pregnant, they will not stop moving. They give birth with almost no pain. As they continue to move forward, the sand-lurking beast eggs will leak out and wait for birth underground in the desert.

"Here we go, let's go."

Reed patted the horse and pointed to a figure in front of him.

"...this kind of material."

Balliard followed and walked up. The base was built underground, so there was naturally a way down. He had been observing the movements nearby, so naturally he would not miss anything. Just after Reed blew the horn, the ground

There was a movement of yellow sand on the ground, and soon, someone came out there.

It was a door. The door was attached to the ground and covered with yellow sand. The material of the door was the bones of ancient giant beasts.

Knowing that long-extinct creatures like Scarash can process the bones of ancient behemoths, this organization has existed much longer than Balliard imagined.

"Don't be scared later."

Campbell kindly reminded Valliard, and then Petty pinched his ears kindly and walked away first.

"Scared? I don't know what to say."

Will Balliard be frightened by this kind of base created by mortals? Unless this base is what it was like in Anne's time, otherwise, what's the point of having some black technology for an organization that can last for thousands of years?

However, when Valliard walked down, he was still frightened, or to be precise, surprised.

Who would have thought that someone would use this method to build a tunnel leading underground? Shurima is a desert. In theory, unless the technology is very advanced, it is impossible to establish a base underground. Of course, there are exceptions, and this exception is this organization.

They established a base under the desert, but at the same time, they established a base in the rock formation. This is a tunnel leading to the underground rock formation, and the body of the tunnel is the body of a snake. Moreover, the body has been immortal for thousands of years. This snake

, at least the ninth-level transcendent, come from the Python Islands? To say where snakes of this level can appear, it is either Isuoken, the depths of the sea, or the Python Islands.

.

However, Ixoken and the snakes in the sea have left Runeterra a long time ago, right? Most of the corpses were also taken away by the same kind, except for the Anaconda Islands, where the temple of Naga Kapoulos is located.

Land, even if Ryze has raised the limit of heaven and earth, the snakes on the Anaconda Islands, under the care of Naga Kapoulos, may still become extraordinary. Don’t ask why, just ask Naga Kapolos.

Great, listen to Him.

"You should be scared! I said you would be scared."

Campbell came closer again, and Valliard could see how ugly Petty looked.

Thinking about it, Balliard has an unknown origin and purpose. They brought Balliard to the base, which means that they are of no use to Balliard. At this time, it is better to stay away from Balliard.

Didn't you see that Reed kept a distance from Valliard? But Campbell was trying to get closer.

"It's really scary. I never thought that someone would be bold enough to attack Naga Kapoulos's family. How old is your leader? He is not a mortal, right?"

Balliard has a guess, that is, the leader of this organization was born in a very distant era, maybe earlier than Ryze, and is able to ignore the tightening of restrictions in the world and stay in Runeterra forcibly. Their leader, courage

That's right, he should be a person with a name.

Who could it be? Nasus? Or those darkspawn? As for the underground stronghold, would it be Rammus? Or Skarner? It doesn't look like it. Nasus is too young, the darkspawn.

...When the ancestors of Shurima established their country in the City of the Sun, the restrictions on heaven and earth had already been raised, right? There were no Ascended Ones, so where could the Darkspawn come from?

As for Rammus, some people say that he is an ascended person from the Shurima Empire, while others say that he is a member of the Dragon Turtle clan. The former can be denied in this world line, but the latter... why does he stay? Moreover,

The power comes from the population, and it is bound to degenerate due to the increase in the restrictions of the world. It is not clear whether the Dragon Turtle clan can speak now.

As for Skarner, the shell people who have been otakus for thousands of years don’t stay in the cracks in the valley and come all the way to the Dasai Desert? Is it sick?

Balliard would rather believe that Ryze has grown hair than believe that the Shells will leave their valley. The souls of the Shells after death will not be reincarnated in normal ways. Therefore, even Karsus does not know about the Shells.

Where exactly is the valley? This also means that the Shell people have almost never shown their face under the eyes of other people.

In distant times, the Shell Tribe may have appeared, but the Shell Tribe existed in ancient times before the rise of the Shurima Empire. Although Karsus could hear the voices of the dead, he could see all the experiences of the dead.

After all, he had no way of knowing where the Shell people were, because where could Karsus go to find the dead souls from ancient times?

If Skarner hadn't appeared in Icathia's war against the void and left some records, Baliard might not even know about the talisman.

This demigod exists in the land of Wen.

"The leader... is in his twenties? I don't know very well. He always wears a mask and a hood, and each generation of leaders uses ventriloquism to speak. Many times, the leader has changed, and the leader is not

If we say it ourselves, we won’t even know.”

Campbell revealed more information to Balliard, but it had no substantive effect, that is, it convinced Balliard that the leader of this organization was born in ancient times.

"It's really interesting."

Ryze has changed the rules of heaven and earth. Even if extraordinary people stay in Runeterra, they will be in a very embarrassing situation due to the lack of runic energy. The runic energy in the air is too thin, and the runic energy in the extraordinary people's bodies is almost every day.

Every moment passes. Balliard is a special case, but Anne is not exempt from the rule. This is why Balliard has decided to leave once a month in this world line.

Of course, there is a limit to the flow of runic energy. The more runic energy in the extraordinary body, the faster it flows. When the runic energy in the extraordinary person's body flows to a certain extent, the extraordinary people absorb the runic energy.

If the speed is equal to the speed at which the rune energy flows, the rune energy will be maintained at an equilibrium point.
