Chapter 161 The Beating Void Stone

Singing Valley is located in the mountains southeast of Shurima.

In this remote mountain road, there are many hollow rocks formed for unknown reasons.

When the desert heat waves during the day and the howling wind blow at night, these rocks will make a whimpering sound, hence the name.

But remoteness is not a good thing, especially when surviving in such an extremely harsh environment. You can never trust human nature too much.

According to Kassadin, travelers trekking in the Songling Valley need to be especially careful, especially at night.

Although there are no groups of robbers here like in Dasai, there are still many robbers in groups of twos and threes.

However, because they have been roaming in such places all year round, most of them have already lost their hearing in both ears, and a small number of people have also suffered severe hearing loss.

Therefore, as long as you don't light an open fire at night and hide in a remote place, the probability of encountering robbers will not be too great.

Of course, these are not problems for Li Lin, Kassadin and Sivir.

The mountain road was rugged, so the three of them left Scarash and the camels at the Marrow Seal Market. Everyone carried the necessary basic supplies and set off on the road.

When crossing the middle section of the Yinge Valley, where the noise was the worst, the three of them put on earplugs in advance and had almost no communication along the way.

After spending three or four days, they finally arrived at the outskirts of Kassadin's original village.

"Since my village was swallowed by the void, there are not many robbers left on this road." Kassadin looked at the towering black stone pillars in the distance and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

Since the bedrock of the earth was torn apart by the void and the village sank underground, these twisted stone pillars rising from the ground have become the iconic landmark of this place.

After almost three years, the place has been completely engulfed by yellow sand, leaving no trace of the original ruins.

Li Lin and Sivir remained silent, standing two steps behind Kassadin.

Listening to his rather sad tone, I didn't know what to say.

"Okay, now we are going to face those corrupted and twisted monsters. Are you ready?"

Kassadin left all the supplies he carried in the camp.

It would be bad if the unprotected water and dry food were contaminated by the space in that area.

Although Chen Guang also has supplies that can feed and drink three people for almost a month...

Sivir took off the Chalikal from his back, "What are you prepared for? If you encounter those monsters, just kill them. Fighting is a common occurrence for me."

Li Lin glanced at her, "Then can you withstand the erosion of the void?"

She subconsciously touched the emerald green barrier pendant that Nasus gave her. "Uh... If you have this, it should be fine, right?"

"It can only resist magic, but the power of the void is not magic."

"How do you even know this?" Sivir raised his head slightly, feeling very surprised by Li Lin's words.

"I've said it many times, read more and you can be as knowledgeable as me."

"Is this thing still recorded in the book?"

Sivir had an expression of disbelief, but Li Lin stopped talking and was busy sorting out the supplies he carried in Chen Guang.

Why do I always have the urge to hit someone...

She glanced at Li Lin's power armor, clenched her fists, and gave up the bold idea in her mind.

Forget it, I don’t share your common knowledge.

While Sivir was thinking, Li Lin took out a suitcase from the morning light and handed it to her, "Put this on."

"This powered armor of yours doesn't suit me." Sivir shook his head and declined, "It's too big."

Li Lin forced the foldable power armor into her hand, "We don't know the situation underground, and protection is better than no protection."

Sivir thought about it for a while, then took the suitcase and put on the power armor with Li Lin's help.

Immediately afterwards, Kassadin hid the supplies in a secret place, carrying only a small amount of dry food and two water bottles.

But what attracted the attention of Li Lin and Sivir was the exquisite small box in his hand that was engraved with mysterious runes.

Kassadin showed it to Azir when he was in the City of the Sun. It contained a void stone, which could prevent corruption and erosion when entering the void.

"Azir said before that as long as it does not touch core areas such as void rifts, it will not be eroded immediately if it comes into contact with the void."

He looked at Li Lin and Sivir, raised the small box in his hand, "I don't know how big the protection range of this stone is. We can try it in the outer area first. If you can only protect me, you can't." It’s too involved.”

The two of them nodded at the same time, agreeing with Kassadin's point of view.

Then, Kassadin opened the box directly, and a small stone with a purple-black light and an uneven surface appeared in front of them.

There was a rancid taste of metal in the mouths of the three people at the same time, and there was a faint smell of some ancient magic in the air.

As Kassadin took the stone out of the sealed box, an unexplained chill swept through his body.

This trembling feeling coming from the depths of his soul was something Kassadin had never experienced before when he faced those ferocious man-eating beasts in the desert.

Sivir stared at the Void Stone, and suddenly she felt like her eyes were being sunk deeply into it, forcing her to quickly move her eyes away.

"This thing gives me a weird feeling..." She took a breath and said with lingering fear.

Fortunately, this was a magic item, and the emerald green barrier Nasus gave her had blocked most of the effects.

So her feelings were not as strong as those of Li Lin and Kassadin.

Especially for Kassadin.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After he first came into contact with this void stone, time seemed to have been stretched infinitely, stagnating at this moment.

This feeling came and went quickly. After just a few seconds, Kassadin returned to normal.

But at this moment, the Void Stone was already beating, and along with his heartbeat, it seemed to have become a part of him.

Sivir glanced at the purple-black stone in Kassadin's hand worriedly, then quickly looked away, "Is this situation... normal?"

Of course it's not normal...

But it won't have any impact on Kassadin for years to come.

Li Lin shook his head and thought silently in his heart.

"It doesn't matter. I just ask that it allows me to kill more void monsters and the 'Void Prophet' Malzahar before it completely devours me." Kassadin's voice contained no emotion.

"..."

Sivir opened his mouth, but still couldn't say a word.

Things like comforting people...

It's good that she can avoid making others more sad and angry.

"Okay, judging from the current situation, the Void Stone can cover a wide range, at least a few meters. If you are closer to me, it should also be able to protect you from being eroded by the void."

Kassadin paused and looked sideways in the direction of his home again, "Now...it's time to escape into the void."
