Balliard carried Anne down the stairs. The underground building and the above-ground building have a completely different style. If the style of the above-ground building is similar to the world line of The Legend of Jade Sword, then this underground building is...

It’s really Shadow Island style.

Has Kieran been to the Shadow Island? The layout is so appropriate. The Shadow Island in this world may only have existed for a few hundred years, right? After all, it was destroyed by the Ash Lord not long after.

Gloomy green will-o'-the-wisps floated around, and from time to time, a tombstone appeared on the ground, and a few cold laughter erupted.

"This place is so weird."

Anne's hand grasped Balliard's shoulder and she tightened her grip. Even the forest on the border of Noxus was not as eerie as this place.

"It's really weird. It seems that some of the soil and rocks of Shadow Island have been brought out. Even if there is no black fog, this place is shrouded in the light of the blood moon, and it has also become a land where the undead live."

But why did Kieran do this?

Balliard kicked the tombstone in front of him into pieces, and before the undead in the tombstone emerged to cause trouble, he sent it into his own little underworld. The feeling on his shoulders made him

I understand very well that some things may or may not appear.

"Undead? Same as Baliard?"

Anne then remembered that Balliard was the monarch of Shadow Island, and Shadow Island was the territory of the undead. In that case, Balliard should also be an undead?

Although Baliard is a spirit body, the undead are all spirit bodies.

"It cannot be simply confused. I am both living and dead. The undead cannot explain my situation."

Baliard releases his aura, and the low-level undead without intelligence can either hide in their own graves or tombstones and tremble, or charge at him regardless.

Balliard naturally ignored the former, but when the latter showed the tendency to leave his tombstones, Balliard would use the shadows in the underground construction area to smash those tombstones into pieces.

Capture the undead among them.

"Those lanterns are so strange. They look so creepy. Can you destroy them?"

Anne was too lazy to think about what Balliard's words meant. Anyway, she only heard that Balliard was special, and she didn't know the rest of the information.

"It would be nice not to look at those lanterns. It would be nice to have something to illuminate this dark place."

Balliard didn't want to give himself any more work. Those lanterns seemed to be Kilan's imitation of Thresh's lanterns. Each lantern contained the souls of seven or eight people. In some lanterns, there were ten more.

several souls.

How did these people come here? Or is Kirant slaughtering humans on Runeterra, collecting their souls and sending them to the Blood Moon?

It sounds like these lanterns still contain soul-burning flames. Even imitation lanterns are considered qualified.

"……Fine."

Anne listened to Balliard and stopped looking at the lanterns. She felt that those lanterns seemed to be saying something, but how could the lanterns speak? Could it be that those lanterns were also undead?

It's too scary, isn't it! She didn't want to look at those lanterns intently, and then those lanterns suddenly opened their big mouths and startled her.

"Not here yet?"

Balliard felt that the aura of the undead was getting heavier and heavier, and some of the undead had a tendency to transform into demons.

It seems that this place is not simply a place used to test the priests and transform the undead into demons. The Blood Moon Sect is trying to create demons themselves.

If the Blood Moon Sect masters this method, then when Balliard and the others are working hard to prevent the demons from hell from entering Runeterra, the Blood Moon Sect will probably secretly create a large area behind their backs.

of devil.

"Well, it's still ahead, about two kilometers away."

Annie sensed the location of the rune energy she had carved the mark on. When the rune energy approached the core of the formation for the first time, Annie locked the energy on the core of the formation. Otherwise, the rune energy she had carved the mark on

The runic energy may be consumed by the magic circle that maintains its operation.

"Two kilometers... plus the distance we have traveled, this is far beyond the length of the yard on the ground."

Balliard sensed the increasingly intense energy of Shadow Island around him, and felt more and more that this was not a normal test level. The ravens in the sky looked like they were just consumables used to consume the enemy. Somehow

, there is no active attack performance.

"According to Tibbers' calculations, the length and width of the courtyard above are only 700 meters. We have gone straight forward for about 1,200 meters so far."

Anne looked at the data calculated by Tibbers and responded to Balliard,

"...The speed of energy flow seems to have intensified. The rune energy I locked in the core has been absorbed. What happened? How could the flow speed suddenly increase!"

Then, Annie discovered that the rune energy he had carved into his mark had disappeared. After using the discerning eye magic, she saw that the flow speed of the rune energy on the ground was more than twice as fast as before.

"...It seems that this magic circle is really activated now. Darius and Yasuo are probably busy. Let's speed up."

Balliard almost knew what was going on. Blood Moon is the most important location of the Blood Moon Sect, and Kiran would not be without prepared mechanisms to deal with the invaders.

This third test was originally used to deal with Valyard and Yasuo, but it happened

With Annie, a correct participant in the trial, the mechanism to deal with the invaders could not take effect immediately and could only maintain a low-power operation.

And when Annie gradually moved away from Yasuo and Darius, and even walked out of the courtyard on the ground, the magic circle searched for enemies again and prepared to attack the intruders.

Darius? He's just a follower. What does it matter if he dies? What's more, the Blood Moon Sect sends these followers here just to let them die here.

Now, those ravens should start launching suicide attacks on Yasuo and Darius. Anyway, the more they die, the more transcendent-level ravens will be, and then they can breed mortal ravens more quickly.

Suicide attack...

It feels like a coal-iron partnership. Use the excavated coal and iron to build more tools, and then use the crafted tools to recruit people to mine more coal and iron.

If there is no upper limit to the runic energy that this magic circle can maintain, unless Darius also uses a ultimate move similar to Yasuo's to kill all the ravens, regardless of distance, at once.

However, I haven't heard that Darius has that kind of move. As for Yasuo, he just used the secret once to an extreme, and now he probably won't be able to do it again.

In order to make things easier for Darius and Yasuo, Valyard and Annie must quickly destroy this magic circle.

If the operation of this magic circle really means that the ravens are beginning to attack Yasuo and Darius, then this magic circle is undoubtedly maintaining the existence of those ravens.

Those ravens are just clumsy spiritual bodies made of energy. Even if they can become extraordinary beings, they will not exist for too long.

That kind of unlimited "reproduction" will greatly shorten its existence time, but those ravens still exist, right?

In this case, there must be something maintaining the existence of those ravens, and the rapid movement of this magic circle can confirm that.

"Um……"

Anne responded, what did Balliard think of? She didn't know, but there was nothing wrong with following Balliard.

the other side.

Yasuo and Darius were caught off guard by the sudden attack of ravens. Although these mortal ravens could not break their toughness, they also made them very embarrassed.

"How is this going?"

After Yasuo reacted, he cut a wall of wind to block the incoming raven, and Darius, by chance, ran behind Yasuo.

"This technique is good. It's very cool. Please work harder."

Darius is not a talkative person, but who makes his brother Draven talk too much? He and Draven have lived together for decades.

They have been living together since they were abandoned at the dock of Besilico, and after they were discovered by Colonel Cyrus in the army, they lived, trained, and studied together in the army.

After that, Du Cao discovered the potential of Darius. To be precise, Darius showed his potential and he was reused. From then on, Draven has always been Darius.

’s deputy general.

Anyone who has lived with a guy who talks endlessly for decades will be affected by it and know how to make people angry.

"The Butcher of Noxus, it's cooler out front, so hurry up and clean up the trash."

Of course Yasuo was dissatisfied, hiding behind his defense, and taunting him, "If you have the ability, go out on your own."

"Are you sure? These ravens will kill more and more. Ionians are indeed short-sighted."

It is true that there are many short-sighted people in Noxus, but the two are of different natures.

The Ionians are short-sighted because they are stuck in their ways, refuse to accept foreign cultures, and stubbornly refuse war.

When two countries are at war, if you don't show your strength, it's like telling the enemy to retreat with just one mouth? It's really funny.

And Noxians, especially those at the bottom, often reject decrees that are clear at a glance that will make them live a better life. Why?

It's all forced by life. According to the current situation, even if you can't live a good life, you can still survive. But if you listen to the new government order and lose your job, if something unexpected happens, you won't be able to survive.

Got down?

They don't have as much fault tolerance as nobles. A small mistake will cost them their own lives. Life forces them to be short-sighted.

Have Ionians ever been forced by life? Compared with the troubled continent of Valoran, Ionia is really unique. Even people who have accomplished nothing and have no money can still live in caves.

Build a tent and eat fruit to survive.

Disaster? Unless it is a man-made disaster, it is impossible to occur.

"whispering sound--"

Yasuo couldn't find the words to argue. Swordsmen are not good at words, not to mention that he has been wandering alone. Sometimes the two swordsmen have no one to talk to for three months.

"Have you noticed that the ravens of those extraordinary beings are no longer just the seventh level, they are starting to move towards the eighth level... The seventh level ravens gave birth to a bunch of fifth level ravens, and the eighth level ravens

The sixth level can give birth to a raven of the sixth level, which is the realm of a master."

Darius is worthy of these ravens, but what if those transcendent level ravens do not stop at the eighth level? The gap between the fifth level and the sixth level is not small.
To be continued...
