Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 177 The Sea of ​​Bones, Exel Attacks
The reason why Li Lin chose to leave from Calixa was nothing more than two reasons.

First of all, with Nasus accompanying him, Rek'Sai's threat is not too great.

It's just a creation of the void. Although it is expensive to be the queen of the Sha clan, it is not a threat to the warriors of the gods.

Even if he doesn't meet Malzahar, he can still brush mobs to improve his "affinity" for machines, gain some experience to upgrade to a level, and get some blue essence.

Secondly, the junction of Shurima and Icacia is Keharise in the southeast of the mainland.

To get there, the quickest route is via the Great Sai to Vikola and then into the adjoining Kehalise.

However, Li Lin felt that with Malzaha's temperament, it was impossible to appear in a large city with many people and eyes openly.

Most likely, he would pass through the center of the uninhabited Great Fortress, cross the River of Life, pass through Calixa, and follow the mountains in the southeast to the border of Icacia.

Ordinary people are afraid of the Void Dungeon Beast, but Malzaha is the agent of the Void, and it is too late for Rexai and Exai to help him, so it is naturally impossible to hurt him.

Of course, Kalishai occupies at least one-third of the southern half of Shurima.

To find someone in such a vast golden ocean, even if it is not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, it is still very difficult.

Fortunately, almost no one dares to pass through Calixa unless they are desperate.

In addition, Malzahar has always been wearing a purple robe, which is quite different from the caravan's dress, so it's easy to tell the difference.

With the current semi-intelligent chip of Storm Robot, the function of identifying items is much stronger than before, and it is quite easy to identify a lone individual wearing a purple robe.

Li Lin had already made a plan in his mind.

Zrima has a lot of Piltover caravans selling Hextech, so they can buy a wave of materials as a cover, and then buy some storm robots from the store.

It's enough to create something out of nothing once.

If it happens again, not only Kassadin and the others will ask again, Nasus may also be curious to ask, it's too troublesome.

Anyway, Li Lin still has 4628 blue essences left, and he is not a mage, so most of the equipment in the store is useless.

A Stormbot without Bullets and Power Crystals is 100 Blue Essence, and he also has 24 Power Crystals in his morning light, just enough to power 12 Storms.

He is going to buy 12 storms, combine them with the original 13 with chips, let each of them be in charge of an area, and patrol Calixe all day long.

If you are lucky enough, you might be able to catch Malzahar.

Li Lin discussed the next itinerary with Kassadin, Sivir, and Nasus, and planned to rest in Zrimar for three days before leaving for Calixa.

During these three days, Li Lin wrote IOUs to more than a dozen caravans in Piltover, and purchased all Hextech devices, including some precision mechanical devices.

He just gathered the materials and made an auxiliary chip for the manually controlled storm robot.

In addition, he also made and installed signal enhancement devices for the storms so that the signal can be transmitted faster.

Li Lin was bored in the room for three full days, and when the appointed time came, he walked out of the room with 26 storm robots, almost dropping everyone's jaws.

If the storm robot that followed him before was like a loyal personal guard, now it can be called a small combat force.

Under the horrified gaze of Weiner, his subordinates, and the citizens of Zrima, Li Lin, Kassadin, Kai'Sa, and Sivir each rode on newly bought camels, accompanied by Nasus who didn't need a mount, Dauntless left from the northern gate of Zrimar and headed north.

……

……

10 days flies by.

Li Lin and his party went up along the Fuke River, and when they reached the middle section, they changed direction and headed east instead.

Northerners call Calixa the "Sea of ​​Bones", which is actually a good description.

Before they fully stepped into the range of this sand sea, they had already encountered many white skeletons of various large animals submerged in the yellow sand.

Kassadin had ventured into Calixa a few times as a bait to his death when he was a teenager.

Fortunately, he survived.

As such, he had some experience with how to move through Calixa.

It is impossible for a boy who is generally abandoned by a poor family to walk through this desert of bones and yellow sand for several seasons.

Most of the people were buried in Exel's belly and became their nourishment.

And those as lucky as Kassadin once made enough money to stay away from this place.

They would rather travel through the boundless "Endless Plain" Faragesai than face the terrifying Sha clan that lurks underground, making them defenseless.

However, Kassadin also knew a middle-aged man named Shaib who had traveled on Kalikesai for more than ten years.

His reputation in the marrow printing market can probably be compared to that of Kassadin when he was in Belguen.

Kassadin told Li Lin that the basis of Calixa's survival is a method called "opening the skin", which every guide must learn.

A considerable part of Exai do not have a visual system, and they rely on certain sensory organs in their bodies to perceive the movement of the ground, and use this to catch the prey that steps into their territory.

Camels cannot be ridden on Kaliksai, and the weight of people and goods will shake the ground greatly.

Moreover, people can't wear shoes when walking, which will increase the contact area between the feet and the ground, so that the group of Exels can quickly sense it.

Not only that, but because the camel walks too slowly, it will expose its position. When walking on the ground, people must take steps to be fast and quiet.

The first step of opening the skin of the foot requires the big toe to touch the ground and roll outward until the entire sole of the foot is on the ground, so that the center of gravity of the body can be shifted from the back foot to the front foot.

In addition, the gravel in the desert is not as good as that of the beach. Opening the skin of the feet is a very painful process, usually accompanied by bleeding, and the gravel is embedded in the skin on the soles of the feet.

Some people will inevitably fester and inflame during this process. If it reaches that level, it means that this person is hopeless and will be abandoned by the guide and the caravan.

The living environment of the desert is cruel.

Kai'Sa, who had never heard such a story from her father, fell silent.

Looking at the bones on the ground again, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and her determination to get rid of the void became more determined.

Sivir, on the other hand, sighed quite a bit: "Fortunately, Nasus is following us, and those Sha people are nothing to worry about."

Nasus, who was striding next to Sivir's camel, exhaled heavily and did not refute this point of view.

"Our main target this time is Malzahar, but if we don't catch him, eliminating the threat of void in this place will be regarded as killing the people." Kassadin muffled.

"Is Rek'Sai, the Queen of the Sha Clan, right?" Nasus said in a low and hoarse voice, "They should be mutants of sand-lurking beasts."

"Does Rek'Sai really exist, Dad?" Kai'Sa was curious about the legend of Rek'Sai. "You told me that almost no one has seen its true face?"

"Because most of the people who have seen it are dead." Li Lin answered first.

"Li Lin is right..." Kassadin was silent for two seconds, "However, Shaib saw it later."

"Really? Then... did he tell you what Rek'Sai looks like?"

"It was a sandstorm at the time, and he didn't actually see it too clearly. He could only vaguely discern that it was a huge monster with a length of hundreds of meters."

Kassadin sighed, "The caravan led by Shaib was wiped out. Only he and two young men survived. Fortunately, the weather was bad and they saved their lives."

"Ka'Sa, Rek'Sai's level is almost the same as that tentacled mantis underground in Song Valley. If you devour it, your skin armor will evolve again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lin regretted it.

If Kai'Sa really absorbed the excavator, wouldn't it be the burrowing that evolved the ability...

Thinking of the scene of her digging a hole in the ground, Li Lin couldn't help but shudder.

No, no, my proposal is too much...

Before he could change his words and respond to Kai'Sa, Nasus suddenly pricked up his ears, squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, entering a state of vigilance.

"Get ready for battle, I heard movement from under my feet!"
