Twin Cities: I am the man of many myths

Chapter 108: Darkin Harp Stella
The red liquid flowing at the bottom of the abyss was not too hot. When Li Ke and Vander approached it, they just felt a little hot and could smell a pungent smell of blood.

"Like, let me go in front." Vander said to Li Ke seriously.

Li Ke shook his head. He certainly understood what Vandel meant, but in terms of individual strength, Li Ke was now far superior to Vandel. Therefore, if anything dangerous happened, the only thing that Vandel was better than Li Ke about was his amazing recovery ability.

But if Li Ke couldn't withstand the damage, then Van der Leyen wouldn't be able to withstand it either, and would fall to the ground in minutes. Before his injuries recovered, he would be no different from waiting to die.

And even if Li Ke is weaker than Fandel, Li Ke would not let Fandel stand in front of him and take risks for himself.

Vandal thinks that Jinx will be sad and heartbroken if Li Ke gets into an accident, but wouldn’t Jinx also be sad and heartbroken if Vandal gets into an accident?

Fandel didn't want to make Jinx sad, but so did Li Ke.

Making a gesture to Vander, Li Ke held his breath and was the first to enter the blood pool.

Vander looked at Li Ke's back, his fangs pressed against his lips, and then he followed closely.

Li Ke and Fandel entered the blood pool, then went down, and then came to an open place that looked like underground ruins.

"Zuan. There is actually such a place?!" Vander first looked up, his eyes filled with horror, because about ten meters above his head was the blood pool he saw when he came down, but above was the blood pool, while here was an open space.
Fandel didn't know how this was done, but what surprised him more than the pool of blood suspended above his head was the scene before him.

He looked around and saw that there was actually an open area under the Haoshi Mine, covering nearly a thousand square meters of land.

Looking forward, there are dozens of steps with broken corners and traces of history. At the highest point is an abandoned temple. The temple is three meters high and more than ten meters wide. There are traces of burning fire on the huge dilapidated stone door, and the corpses of some creatures are everywhere around it.

Reptiles, rats, and skeletons of devoured unknown animals, as well as bones of varying sizes, were densely piled around the temple, adding a touch of weirdness to the scene.

"That thing is in there?" Vander looked at the temple and swallowed.

"It should be." Li Ke nodded.

"Then let's go over and take a look?" Vander said after thinking for a while.

He felt that with his and Li Ke's strength, the two of them together could take on hundreds of Noxian soldiers, so they should be able to take on the monsters here as well.

Li Ke heard what Fandel said, but shook his head at him and whispered: "No, Fandel, let's go back now, it's enough."

This distance is enough for Soul Lotus to see Ahri and let her sense what is inside.

Therefore, Li Ke was not prepared to take any risks. His original plan was to come down and make contact, collect some information and bring it back to Ali. Now that the information has been collected, the mission is completed.

Go further in
The thought of entering that temple made Li Ke feel a tingling sensation on his spine.

Because the scene in front of me alone is too weird!

Vander was not a bad teammate. Seeing that Li Ke was so cautious, he nodded and agreed with Li Ke's idea. He was ready to climb back to the top of the cave with Li Ke.

But just as they turned around, a whisper sounded in their minds at the same time.

The voice was full of temptation. The hoarse and low female voice resounded directly in Li Ke's mind, making his body stiffen. His neck turned to the back, his eyeballs rolled up, and blood filled Li Ke's body. But in the next second, Li Ke's eyeballs recovered, and Li Ke, who had regained consciousness, shouted: "Vander, run!"

Fandel reacted quickly, grabbing Li Ke by the back of the collar and throwing him onto his back.

His speed was not much faster than Li Ke's, but facing the current terrain, he had an advantage over Li Ke! He could run with Li Ke much faster than Li Ke could climb up by himself!

The sharp claws pierced into the rock wall with a "click", just like piercing tofu. Vander ran wildly on the cliff with all fours, with Li Ke hanging on his back and looking down.

“Not coming back”

"My child, I will give you power and I will give you everything you want."

"Come back, come back, come back!"

The voice in Li Ke's mind became louder and louder. It started out as a whisper, and then it started shouting at Li Ke frantically.

As if it was angry at Li Ke for staying away from it.

“Whoosh—boom!”

With a loud bang, the blood pool churned, and Li Ke watched helplessly as the blood pool in front of him shrank and turned into bloody tentacles that grabbed towards Vander.

"I'll do it, don't worry about it!" Li Ke shouted to Vander, holding Vander's shoulder blade tightly with one hand, causing him pain, but Vander endured the pain and ran, while Li Ke used his other hand to slap the bloody tentacles attacking from below.

Those tentacles were not tough. After being hit hard by Li Ke, they dispersed and turned into blood foam, but they would soon condense again.

Vander was very fast and quickly reached a high place, climbing dozens of meters every second.

"That thing is alive. It was just paying attention to us and it was luring us in!" Li Ke was still in shock, and Vander felt a chill on the back of his head after hearing what Li Ke said.

He just saw that there was no movement in the temple, so he suggested going in to take a look, but now he sees that he is so stupid!

If it was really like what Li Ke said, then that thing really did it on purpose! It pretended to be motionless and waited for the two to approach, just like a hunter ambushing its prey.

After seeing that Li Ke and Vander did not approach out of curiosity and left, it began to use its power to seduce the two, but Li Ke and Vander were no longer human, so they resisted the whispering.

And now, it has decided to go all out and take direct action!

Seeing that Li Ke and Vander were about to climb out of the abyss, the blood-colored tentacles suddenly stopped, and then condensed together to form an extremely huge blood ball.

Several golden pupils appeared in the center of the blood cell with a radius of more than ten meters, staring at Li Ke's back.

"No, don't go. Give your body to me, give it to me!"

Amidst the shrill screams, there was a "pop" sound, and the blood ball shattered, and the blood spilled onto the ground. Li Ke looked down and saw that the blood spilled onto the underground ruins was flowing towards one location. Was that the location of the temple?
The next moment, the temperature of the abyss suddenly rose, the smell of decay disappeared under the high temperature, but the smell of blood was overwhelming.

Then, in just a blink of an eye, a red, skinless, giant rat with bloody flesh exposed appeared at the bottom of the abyss. A golden harp was embedded on its back, with several pupils on the harp, facing Li Ke.

"Give me your body!"

"It is your honor to be united with the great Stellatu, human!"

The bloody rat spoke in human language, a hoarse and low female voice, full of greed for Li Ke's body.

This was the first time that Stellatu had seen such a human being. His body was extremely powerful and he was loved by the elements of Runeterra. If he could get his body, he would definitely become stronger!

She will help the General and start the Second Darkin War!
The great Aatrox will not fail, and Zolani will pay a heavy price!

Ta'anari, the traitor of the Darkin, will also pay the price!
And Lord Aatrox will also kill the Twilight Aspects to avenge all the Darkin!

When Stellatu thought of those scenes, she began to tremble wildly. She didn't want to take over the body of a mouse. If possible, she certainly hoped to occupy the body of a human instead of a mouse.

After all, after taking over another body, even if she used light energy to replace the host, her power would be affected.

Frequent changes of hosts would reduce the power of the Darkin.

Every replacement would consume all the previously accumulated blood and energy. Therefore, Stellatu woke up early and had been luring creatures to come and practice blood magic with their blood. However, she was always waiting for a human body, so those reptiles, frogs, and mice that approached it and almost became its host died around it.

But now, she can't wait any longer!

After all, even if all the blood is used up, as long as I can get this human body
Then all the costs are worth it!
Thinking of this, Stellatu looked at Li Ke's back greedily. The big bloody rat roared, and flames appeared around her body. She continued to expand and grow bigger, and finally turned into a fire monster that was more than ten meters tall.

In the very center is the host that Stellatu occupies - the rat.

Surrounding her was a body made of fire and blood, holding a flaming harp in one hand and reaching upwards with her other hand.

"Why haven't you come out yet?"

Outside the Haoshi Mine, Jinx stamped her feet, feeling annoyed, while Hilco stood beside her and together with Wei stopped her from rushing in.

Singed looked calm and composed, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

The group had been waiting here for more than half an hour, but there was no other sound in the mine except for the loud noise when Li Kfandel just entered.

"No, why don't we send someone in to take a look?" Jinx said to Hilco.

Hilco shook his head and said, "If there are enemies that even Li Ke and Fandel can't deal with, then we will just cause more trouble for them if we go in."

Jinx also understood this, but understanding did not mean agreeing. She whispered, "But wait here."

"Boom!"

Before Jinx could finish her words, a loud bang exploded above the Haoshi Mine. The top of the hill suddenly exploded, and with the loud noise, everyone near the Haoshi Mine felt dizzy and had tinnitus. They covered their ears and opened their mouths. The nearest few ditch law enforcement officers were blown away by the air wave.

Jinx also covered her ears and screamed in pain with her mouth open. She looked up at the top of the Haoshi Mine and saw flames spewing out. Red swept across the sky, and in the breeze visible to the naked eye, two figures rushed into the sky.

"Like, Fandel!" Jinx recognized the two figures.

Li Ke's shirt was burned clean by the flames, revealing his chest. Fandel beside him also had charred hair and one of his huge claws was broken and was in the process of growing back again.

A giant blue bird flew behind the two of them, allowing Li Ke and Vander to briefly gain the ability to fly.

Li Ke didn't look at Jinx, but opened his mouth and shouted with all his might:
"Everyone, evacuate immediately!"

As Li Ke's voice fell, a huge red monster emerged from the cave, flames spread everywhere, burning the mine, and a giant hand more than ten meters long also grabbed Li Ke in the air.

Stellatu will not let go of this opportunity. She is determined to get this body. After getting this body, she will destroy this place. Then, she will go north, to the ice port of Freljord, because her general is there.
