The Glory of Noxus.

Chapter 315 The Legend of the Crown Ancient Mural

"Why didn't I see the entrance to the cave?"

Graves stood up, shook his body, walked to the bow of the ship, and looked up at the wind- and rain-eroded rocks in front of him.

Then he saw Drizzt smiling and pointing beyond the side of the ship, below the water.

"Damn Cui Zi, are you serious?" Graves complained with a look on his face.

Looking at the cold water, he couldn't help but recall the previous battle with Gangplank in Bilgewater Bay.

At that time, he fell into the water from the side of the boat and almost sank to the bottom of the sea, becoming food for sharks.

It was Cui Zi who saved him regardless of life and death, but he didn't want to experience that near-death feeling again.

"it is true."

Drizzt nodded, indicating that the location of the altar was inside.

This is his specially customized double-barreled shotgun from Piltover. It is definitely unique in Valoran.

Huo Jixing saw Graves moving non-stop, reached out and began to take off his cloak, coat and shoes, and spoke helplessly.

With the help of the light, Huo Jixing looked at the environment under the sea.

If it weren't for the green light, it would be difficult to see the way forward.

Graves walked to Drizzt's side and said with a slightly teasing tone.

The area around the cave was also empty, and there was nothing related to the Abyss Altar and the Abyss Crown.

Then, under the spiritual tug of Huo Jixing, the green bubbles floated up, came to the cold sea, and slowly sank.

Graves paused when he heard this. Thinking of Huo Jixing's terrifying strength, he immediately understood what he meant.

Graves noticed the green bubbles moving quickly.

"Hey, Cuizi, I suspect that the Crown of the Abyss is fake. Use your head to think about it. This is a legendary object in Bilgewater."

Graves fell down and came to the gentle stone platform, taking in the surrounding cave environment.

Is this Drizzt's ability?

"Just like the legend of the Tidal Sea Spirit, who has ever seen it with his own eyes?"

puff!
The surface of the sea rippled, letting the bubbles sink to the bottom.

He finished dressing again, picked up his belongings, and came to Huo Jixing's side.

The turquoise bubbles floated forward, Graves remained silent, and unconsciously observed Huo Jixing from the corner of his eye.

The moonlight is shining in the sky, and many blue crabs are crawling on the gray-white sand ground. They are waving their pliers, as if to drive away everyone.

Wow!
The cold water surface shattered, and Huo Jixing and Graves were suspended in the air.

Drizzt ignored Graves and came to Huo Jixing's side.

Suddenly.

"And the person who commands the giant beasts under the sea can control the currents around the Blue Flame Group. Naturally, you will become the master of Bilgewater."

Despite his enviable handsome face, Huo Jixing appears to be very approachable and has no attitude of being aloof or dominating the lives of ordinary people.

Graves looked helpless and looked at the wounds on his body. After muttering a few words, he took out the tarp from the cabin.

"Follow me!"

What came into view was a huge cave with the top reaching into the sky and moonlight falling from above.

When the moonlight was reached, the bubbles quickly rose.

Compared to the darkness in the reef area, it was completely invisible under the sea.

There is a ray of moonlight falling on the dark sea bottom in the distance, soaking the sea water.

"This is it, that's right."

Then he lowered his head and took out the shot belt and cigar box, and packed them together to ensure that they would not get wet.

You can see many smooth stone walls under the huge reef, which seem to be engraved with some spiral patterns.

Compared with some extraordinary beings with terrifying strength that he had seen before.

But it was so long ago that it was already very damaged and it was impossible to see clearly what was on it.

Drizzt's voice sounded.

"The Crown of the Abyss, it is said that no matter who you are, as long as you wear that crown, you can command the giant beasts under the sea."

Buzz!Buzz!
The turquoise light flashed and turned into a bubble like glass, gently covering Huo Jixing and Graves.

There is still a slight magic wave remaining on his side.

But having seen the fight in the tavern, he was genuinely afraid of Huo Jixing.

Immediately afterwards, he wrapped his large double-barreled shotgun [Destiny] tightly with a tarpaulin.

Huo Jixing looked around and saw him leaning on a rock with cards dancing in his hand.

Huo Jixing had thoughts in his heart, thinking of Drizzt's power of destiny.

"So, has fate given you a hint?" Huo Jixing said with a smile.

"of course."

Drizzt looked extremely confident and pointed to the depths of the cave.

"There is a road over there, leading further inside, and maybe there will be what we want."

Huo Jixing looked over and saw a dark path, and walked over immediately.

The path is a bit narrow and can only accommodate one person, and there are uneven rocks on both sides.

Huojixing walked in front, with Drizzt and Graves following closely behind.

The bright moonlight fell along the rocks, but the environment was still very dark.

Only a faint glimpse of many shipwrecks and abandoned cargo could be seen in the cave ahead.

It may be that a ship ran aground and sank to the bottom of the sea, creating this place full of wreckage. Just when Huo Jixing was about to leave the path, a burst of blue lightning suddenly lit up above his head and fell straight down.

Buzz!Buzz!
Huo Jixing's mind moved and he looked up. He saw seven or eight lightning bolts piercing the dark environment, falling like blue arrows.

And behind the lightning, he suddenly saw some bat-like monsters.

Their bodies are ferocious, their heads look like fish, their blue wings are spread out, and blue lightning lights up at their tails.

They were like the guardians of this area, their red eyes staring at Huo Jixing and the others, coming straight towards them.

"It's the electric manta ray!"

Graves' expression suddenly changed. The narrow terrain perfectly restricted him, preventing him from taking out his destiny and bombarding the group of electric manta rays.

Drizzt also tightened his expression, turned his wrist, and the red card appeared, shining brightly.

boom!
When lightning falls.

A flash of red-gold flame appeared out of thin air, like a monster with a huge mouth.

Swallowed in one gulp, including the lightning.

When the flames extinguished, the group of electric manta rays that came over completely disappeared.

"Let's go, it's okay."

Huo Jixing closed his eyes and walked out of the path with a relaxed expression, stepping into the hidden cave.

Compared with the cave just now, this place is obviously much larger.

Except for areas strewn with debris and cargo.

Stone carvings of the Baru culture are carved on the surrounding walls and floors.

"Huh? The mural shows sea beasts fighting against the black mist of Shadow Island?"

Huo Jixing walked over and carefully observed the murals that had been eroded by time.

Although these murals have gone through the baptism of time, they still reveal some ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Huo Jixing stared at the scene depicted in the mural, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to ancient times.

The stone murals show the boundless sea of ​​watchers, with waves rising one after another and lapping the sky.

Within the ocean, huge sea beasts set off endless waves, surrounding the Blue Flame Islands, preventing the spread and erosion of the black mist.

Following Huo Jixing's gaze.

The further the content of the mural goes, the thicker the black mist becomes, almost overwhelming, covering the Blue Flame Islands.

In the black mist, many figures appeared, some riding horses and wearing armor, as if they were ghosts from the underworld;
Some held up lanterns and sickles, with ferocious expressions on their faces, like the God of Death harvesting life;
There are also spider phantoms that look like mountains, hanging down countless spider silks and lifting up the struggling figures one by one.
Huo Jixing looked at these murals and felt a biting chill in his heart.

He could feel the fear and despair in the mural very clearly.

I also vaguely understand the significance of the existence of many ruined temples on the Blue Flame Islands.

suddenly.

Huo Jixing stopped and stared solemnly at the last broken stone mural in front of him.

The content of this part of the mural seems to have been deliberately damaged, and the ending of the Soul Eating Night cannot be seen.

"Is this a scene from Soul Erosion Night?"

Drizzt stood behind Huo Jixing, looking at the mural curiously and making guesses in his heart.

For some reason, his eyes flickered between Huo Jixing and the mural, and he felt something bad.

"It should be." Huo Jixing nodded.

"But the time here seems a little too long."

He looked at the countless things piled up in the distance, including barrels, boxes, boxes, and nets.

There were also fishing gear and rusty harpoons, and long pieces of rotten rope.

Piles of shells and stones, stacked in strange layers, and jars of rancid liquid and god-knows-what sat on driftwood shelves.

It seemed like someone had collected it on purpose.

Huo Jixing walked forward and looked at the north wall. He saw a huge anchor leaning on the wall and a barnacle-covered ship's bow statue embedded among several rocks.

The carving is of a plump girl with a fish tail.

But her paint was peeling off and she looked like she had been flayed, and there was no magic wave.

Nearby are broken masts crisscrossing the roof of the cave, like crooked roof beams.

Long dark green seaweed hangs from the mast, and there are also clumps of fish bones and tree branches slowly spinning, entangled with silk threads and hair, mixed with torn rags from the rotten sail.

Under the shadow of the distant rock wall, half hidden and half exposed, among the miscellaneous things, it seems to be...
"Hey, Cui Zi, look, is this the Abyss Altar we are looking for?"

Graves pushed aside the dusty debris in front of him and admired the huge altar carved on the rock wall in front of him.

Huo Jixing and Drizzt walked over, their eyes falling on the rock wall.

The so-called altar is carved directly on the rock wall and looks like a large number of sea snakes gathered together.

The red fins, blue and white spots, and black back of the neck are almost all over the mural.

Around the altar were hundreds of unlit candles, melted wax could be seen everywhere, and dozens of skulls of various animals.

There are also several human skulls.

"Altar of the Abyss."

Drizzt spoke in a deep voice, his voice filled with awe.

He has always been very superstitious. After all, he is a river wanderer and naturally believes in gods.

"Yes, this is it, you can't go wrong."

Drizzt turned his body sideways and said with a steady gaze.

Huo Jixing looked into Drizzt's deep eyes, realized that he had some questions, and signaled that he could speak directly.
