Chapter 1091: The Hall of the Nine Venerables
"Jeno, what should I do, I'm not wearing shoes." Kai'Sa whispered to Jeno for help, she could barely walk on the ice. Her outer skin was not a carapace that could be peeled off casually, but a skin that was sentient, and the sting of Zhen Bing was too much for her to bear.
"You put your foot on it again, resist the tingling, stand a little longer, and give your second skin some time to get used to it."
In Jeno's cognition, the Void was cold, and the skin on Kaisha's body was not much different from that of the Void creatures. If they can adapt to the cold here, then Kai'Sa should be too.
What's more, the power of the Iceborn to resist the cold is still obtained from the Void, and Kaisha's Void Skin should also contain this power, but it is not stimulated.
"I'll try." Kai'Sa carefully stood on the ice again, like a beginner skatter, and let Jeno hold her arms.
The frost covered her legs again, and the cold tingling sensation far exceeded the pins and needles caused by the skin itself. Her helmet filtered the ice chips from the ice mist, but every breath was still accompanied by sharp pain.
Soon, even the tingling sensation on the skin weakened, and only the extreme numbness of the cold remained. The cold enveloped her, making her feel as if the second layer of skin was brittle and shattered at the touch of it.
Maybe only the Iceborn can resist the cold? She wasn't sure, she felt that this level of cold wouldn't last long even if Ash came.
An hour? Nu worked hard for two hours? It won't be possible any longer.
And at this moment, Jeno suddenly let go of his hand and distanced himself from her. He and Cana walked towards the end of the rift, as if to abandon Kaisha.
Thinking of the fear of gradually freezing into an ice sculpture, Kai'Sa panicked instantly.
"Get moving, Kaisha." Just when she was six gods and no master, Jeno said without looking back.
It turned out that it was just training, and Kai'Sa struggled to lift her feet.
"You have to give it enough stimulation, but if you stop, you'll die."
Kai'Sa immediately realized that Jeno was asking her to wander on the brink of death? She walked towards Jeno, pausing on the ice with each landing, taking a second step before the bone-chilling cold consumed her senses.
She kept a certain rhythm behind Jeno, and slowly she discovered the secret of walking on the ice - as long as she kept up with Jeno's pace, she could do everything he asked for perfectly.
Gradually, Kai'Sa felt herself adapt to the extreme cold hell under the abyss, and her second skin began to extract nutrients from her body to evolve herself, and the most significant change was at her feet.
Hard spikes grow from the soles of her feet to hold herself in place on the smooth ice and reduce the area of contact with the ice.
The Void is adapting, the Void is evolving.
Kaisha's steps grew brisk, chasing Jeno like a wolf until they finally came to his side and marched together.
"You did it, how does it feel to be successful?" Cana smiled and told her that she was floating in the air, and the power of the ice could not affect her.
"Not bad!" Kai'Sa exhaled, and her warm breath instantly condensed into a white mist.
"Don't rejoice too soon, the real hard is already here."
Jeno's pace slowed as the rift narrowed, until it was finally wide enough for one person to pass through.
"Passing through this rift is the Hall of the Nine Venerables, the place where the watchers react." Jeno stood at the mouth of the crack and turned back to warn the two: "Try not to look down after entering, it is looking up at us at our feet, don't look at it!" ”
Kai'Sa swallowed hard, the battle in the abyss still fresh in her memory, the watcher narrowly escaped with a single tentacle. What is the full picture of such a powerful creature...... She suddenly punched herself into her thoughts, as she realized that she was giving birth to a deadly curiosity that could not be contained.
Seeing Kaisha's strange behavior, Jeno didn't say anything, and propped his hands on the ice cliffs on both sides of the crack, ready to squeeze sideways through the crack little by little.
The power of Zhen Ice brought an extremely cold burning pain through his arm, but these were nothing compared to what Jeno saw through the cracks!
He had seen Lisandro dancing in the center of the Hall of the Nine Statues!
Jeno could only see Lisandro's figure, the ice tufts beneath her feet propel her to twirl and dance gracefully in the shadows. She kept waving her arms and spilling ice flowers, and her movements were full of the beauty of power.
This made his eyes widen instantly!
This... Is this some kind of appeasement ritual? But Jeno felt that this would only be counterproductive, making the frozen half-asleep watcher even more energetic.
Jeno hurriedly sped up his movements, slammed his shoulder into the crack, and then used force under his feet, rubbing it inward inch by inch. The ice on both sides of the crack pressed against his body, making him feel like he was buried in a coffin.
Cana had never had such troubles as Jeno, she was pervasive, and turned into a cold wind that smoothly drilled through the cracks in Jeno's head and came to a large, empty space.
It is a massive cavern, and from here the ice beneath your feet gradually turns from cloudy to transparent. The bottom of the ice in the center of the cave is a perfect plane, like a black mirror, and Lisandro "dances solo" on the black mirror.
Jeno then came out, and when he saw what was going on around Lisandro, he realized that his previous perception was wrong, and that it was just an illusion of limited vision.
Lisandro is not dancing solo, but fighting something in the dark.
Surrounded by her, nine huge and abrupt statues of Zhenbing looked like pillars, and were distributed along the circle in the middle of the clearing, giving the entire cave a sense of the solemnity of a lost god.
This is where the name of the Hall of the Nine Statues comes from, nine rune-carved icicles that bind the things that perch below them like shackles, if the watcher wants to wake up...... Need to wait for all the icicles to be breached.
But this is already predictable what will happen in the near future.
The nine icicles were almost completely black, but Jeno could still see something even darker in the darkness, hovering at the edge of his vision, and a flash of fear brought with him.
They swayed in it, poking outward, desperate to break through their prisons.
Most of the icicles were still resistant to the impact of something out of bounds, but three of them had been broken through by the darkness - spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surface of the icicles, and wet and heavy mist hung from them, and several pitch-black tentacles drilled out of the cracks, twisting wildly like stimulated polyesters, making the scalp tingle.
These twisted and crazy tentacles, stretched to incredible lengths, stabbed like lightning towards Lisandro in the middle, and Lisandro casually unleashed cold power, freezing them in mid-air and falling to the ground and shattering them.
But then more tentacles emerged from the cracks, and even the Void Protozoa that had devoured Frostguard's flesh on the Bridge of Sorrow appeared, attacking Lisandro one after another.
