At the same time, along the Kohar Lijiang River.
Li Lin and Kassadin sat on Scarash, holding the reins and driving them to trot.
Sivir followed them on a camel, and beside him was Taliyah who was gliding on a rock “skateboard” generated by her own magic power without losing any speed.
Since they said goodbye to Nasus last night, they have been heading south along the Kohali River, running continuously for more than ten hours without any rest.
As mortals, they have no way to intervene in the struggle between demigods. Staying in Vicoula is the same as giving away one’s head in vain.
What’s more, thousands of years ago, the two brothers Nasus and Renekton were able to fight Xerath to a draw.
Now Xerath has accumulated a thousand years of power in the tomb, and Nasus alone is no match for him.
Even with the addition of an elite human battle group, for this ancient wizard spirit, it would be as simple as squeezing an ant to death.
Not to mention Li Lin, who is still far from developed.
Therefore, the most important thing is for them to protect Sivir from being caught by Xerath.
After more than ten hours of sleepless driving, the four of them felt exhausted to varying degrees.
Fortunately for Kassadin, as a child who grew up in Dashai, he can adapt to any harsh and difficult situation.
Li Lin was still reluctant. With the protection of the power armor and sitting on Scarash, it was more stable. The consumption of his body was only reflected in the mental aspect.
Taliyah was also in good condition. Her precision and intensity in controlling rock magic was a genius. The more than ten hours of traveling did not consume her too much energy.
But like Li Lin, she also felt a little mentally exhausted.
But the same cannot be said for Sivir riding a camel.
First of all, a camel is no better than a Skalas, and it is much bumpier to run.
Sivir didn’t have the protection of powered armors like Li Lin and Kassadin, so the long journey made her look unhappy.
I need to take a break, I can’t continue like this…
Li Lin grabbed Scarash’s reins and pulled him to a stop.
Kassadin noticed the situation behind him and quickly stopped Scarash and turned around, “Are you okay?”
“I’m fine.” Li Lin lowered his head and glanced at Sivir and Taliyah who were parked beside them, “But I think we need to find a place to rest.”
“Xerath has been blocked by Nasus in Vikaola, we don’t need to worry too much.” Sivir poured saliva down her throat and said after moistening her throat.
“Nasus alone cannot stop Xerath, he needs Azir’s assistance.” Li Lin sighed heavily, “Besides, Xerath has his own followers, and they should be looking for us. “
Sivir had just handed another water bag to Taliyah. When he heard what he said, he couldn’t help but raise his left eyebrow slightly, with a look of doubt on his face.
“How do you know? I remember it was less than 20 days since we released that guy, right? Where could he find followers in such a short period of time?”
“You think of Xerath too simply, Sivir…Although he has not gained recognition, he is truly an ascended person, and before becoming an ascended person, he was already a master of various witchcraft and arcane magics. A wizard.”
“Can he control people’s hearts?” Taliyah raised her head and asked.
“If I had to say it, maybe.”
Li Lin had forgotten too many details. He only knew that this guy had summoned more than 500 people just to find traces of Sivir.
Although most of them were killed by Nasus in Vicola City, the current timeline has been changed because of him…
He looked toward the calm horizon to the north.
I just hope Nasus can stop them…
…
…
In the middle section of Keha Lijiang, there are dozens of people in a settlement.
Because he didn’t have time to replenish supplies in Vicoula, Li Lin gave Kassadin a few gold coins, bought some dry food and dried meat here, and took a short rest.
When the sun was about to set, Li Lin suddenly discovered a problem.
As they hurried on their way, they saw many people fleeing in the same direction, preparing to go to the Xueyin Market.
Judging from the time and route, even if they don’t all pass by this settlement, at least some of them will definitely pass by here.
In doubt, Li Lin went to the guard outside the tent fence and asked.
So far, apart from the four of them, no outsider has passed by, which is completely unreasonable.
Just when Li Lin was deep in thought and had an ominous premonition in his heart, Taliyah’s voice interrupted his thoughts: “Li Lin? Why are you here?”
Li Lin noticed that the little girl was carrying a thick package and was stunned for a moment, “Are you… ready to leave?”
“Well, I think it’s time for us to part ways.”
Taliyah nodded, a trace of reluctance showing on her face.
Although she only spent a day with Li Lin and others, she already regarded them as good friends.
If Taliyah hadn’t been home for too long and missed her parents and other people in the tribe too much, she would have followed Li Lin and the others on this journey.
There was a slight apology on her face, “I’m really sorry to say goodbye suddenly at this time…”
“What’s there to be embarrassed about? You miss your family so much, so naturally you have to put your family first.” Li Lin waved his hand, “Besides, we are the ones implicating you this time.”
He and Taliyah looked into each other’s light brown eyes, and they couldn’t help but laugh at the same time.
“Where are you going?”
“My people should be looking for water sources in the middle of the desert at this time. The capital city has risen again from under the yellow sand. I think they should go there…”
As she spoke, Taliyah showed a trace of confusion on her face.
Li Lin guessed what she was thinking and comforted him softly: “Don’t worry, Azir is really not what you think. He can be called a wise king.”
“I hope so.”
Taliyah nodded, and then walked out of the settlement gate side by side with Li Lin.
“Thank you, and for taking care of me… I have already told Kassadin and Sivir that I will take care of myself in the rest of the journey. You don’t have to worry about me.”
She made a gesture, and the yellow sand beneath her feet surged, quickly forming a raised rock slab, lifting her petite body off the ground.
Taliyah glanced at Li Lin one last time and waved her hand to say goodbye: “Then, again…”
However, before she could say anything, there was an exciting sound of galloping horses on the northern horizon.
Taliyah, who was about to step on the stone slab, stopped and said, “What happened…”
Li Lin frowned and squinted his eyes as he looked at the dust flying in the sky. He turned on [digital thinking] and his expression changed slightly.
“It’s the followers of Xerath…”
“What?!”
Taliyah turned around and looked at Li Lin with an expression of disbelief.
Although I don’t know how he saw it…
Maybe it’s because of this sophisticated technological armor?
However, she still believed in Li Lin and didn’t have too many doubts.
Taliyah couldn’t help but put her hand on her chest, her pounding heart making her nervous involuntarily.
“So what do we do now?”
Li Lin did not answer her question for the time being. He turned his attention to the two guards at the entrance of the settlement, who were still looking into the distance with curious faces, not knowing what was going on.
“Quickly, go and notify the chief of your tribe and ask him to evacuate the women, children and the elderly quickly, and then ask all the strong men to pick up weapons and prepare to fight the enemy!”
The two guards looked at Li Lin who shouted at them with dull expressions, and for a moment they didn’t realize what was going on.
“The enemy is attacking! Those people are bandits. They will be here in ten minutes at most!”
Seeing their moaning, Li Lin couldn’t help but increase his tone, “Why are you still standing there? Do you want to sit back and wait for those people to rush into your settlement, burn, kill and loot?!”
When he yelled like this, a look of panic suddenly appeared on the two people’s faces, and they turned around and rushed into the tribe.
Li Lin shook his head, turned his attention to Taliyah, who was also frightened, and asked calmly: “Can you build a larger stone wall? Surround this settlement.”
“I, I should be able to do it!” There was a hint of doubt in her eager voice, “But this doesn’t solve the problem. Those people can completely surround us…”
“We surrounded them.”
Taliyah, who looked stunned, didn’t understand what Li Lin wanted to express, and thought it was a slang term from Piltover or Ionia.
“Just go ahead and do it. These stone walls are just to protect the people of this settlement.”
Li Lin looked into the settlement. Under his control, three standby storm robots quickly flew out and suspended in mid-air behind him.
Under Taliyah’s surprised gaze, Li Lin looked at the rapidly approaching Dust and Xerath’s men, and sneered:
“It’s time for them to show off their power.”
