The next morning, Rhodes got up early, and then turned into a night crow, with wings in line, and quickly flew towards the ancient forest of Kumang to the east.

In the beginning, everything was fine.

The entire Kumangu rainforest, the trunks of tall trees are hidden in a white morning mist, which is a rare moment of quiet in Kumanggu, and it is also the time when predators move the least.

Flying between the trees, Rhodes took a closer look at his surroundings, but everything seemed normal.

It's weird.

Rod sped up, he needed to probe as far away as possible, and then leave a spatial marker to continue tomorrow.

Time flies quickly, and Rhodes soon flew for a morning, and in this morning, Rhodes flew hundreds of miles, but did not find any meaningful information, and everything seemed to be normal throughout the jungle.

But for some reason, Rhodes was vaguely aware of a subtle aberration.

A feeling of déjà vu made Rhodes uncomfortable, and he struggled to recall it, and then realized that the last time he felt it was in the place of fire.

(The Land of Fire is the elemental plane of Azeroth, the territory of Ragnaros, Lord of Fire and Lord of Firedemons.) ）

Realizing this, Rhodes quickly figured out the situation he was facing—the source of this discomfort was the overactive elementals, and although there was still a big gap between the elemental activity of the forest and the land of fire, there was a dense feeling in the air...... It's exactly like the elemental plane!

There is an elemental sub-plane hidden in Kumanggu?

Rhodes was a little surprised.

This lush forest doesn't look like it's going to give birth to an elemental plane!

And, more importantly, Valoran has its own unique world laws, and the existence of rune laws makes the power of the elements in Valoran very severely suppressed, and a considerable part of the core power of the elements has been stripped and extracted to become a part of the world runes.

In this case, the power of the elements is not very strong in Valoran, at least not to the extent that it can give birth to an elemental plane.

Jana is right, there is an invisible driving force behind all this!

Although he figured out part of the content, the doubts in Rod's heart did not decrease but increased.

If someone was really behind the scenes, why couldn't Jana find out about them at the time?

Cana is a giant god star spirit, the pinnacle of Valoran's combat power - although her combat talent is more urgent, her detection level can be said to be first-class, and where there is wind, she can sense it!

But Jana, who is so good at detection, failed to find the problem?

Then, just as Rhodes was heading north in confusion, an enchantment suddenly appeared and Rod saw a different place in the jungle.

……………………

In fact, unbeknownst to the vast majority of creatures in Rhodes, Jana, and even Valoran, a unique tribe still maintains their oldest traditions in the ancient rainforest of Kumang.

This ancient tribal nation was known as Ishtar.

One of the most famous of their traditions is "the use of elemental powers, the prohibition of runic magic".

That's right, this is a more thorough area than the Demon Prohibition of Demacia, their city is called Xuoken, and the periphery of these Xuoken has a special anti-runic energy barrier, this kind of enchantment dedicated to the power of runes can not only hide the traces of the city, maintain the safety of the city, but more importantly, can guide anyone with the power of runes without a trace, so that they can't help but avoid Xuoken.

That's why Cana couldn't discover these cities!

In fact, the country of Ishtar is not without traces in history, they were part of the early Shurima Empire, but together with the Great River and the weavers, they lost their traces after the Battle of Acacia - and later Shuryma scholars found through research that the Lakol people who served the Star Spirit, the Bajou people who served Naga Kapolos, and the Helias who were destroyed in the Rune Wars seem to have traces of this ancient country, so in the history books, Ishtar is recorded as "a lost ancient country, Civilization is divided into several branches".

What these Shurima scholars did not know, however, was that the loss they concluded did not actually happen, and that the civilization of the Ishtars not only did not fall, but was even more brilliant for a time!

During the Battle of Acacia, the Ishtar mercenary mages discovered a power from the Void that was different from all of Valoran's current powers, and they tried to master it, only to find themselves repelled by the laws of runes!

That's right, they made themselves rune annihilators by trying to master the power of the Void.

In this case, there was a serious split in Ishtar, which directly led to the emergence of civilizations such as Rakol, Bajou, and Helia, but the vast majority of Ishtars did not know that a royal bloodline that held the power of the elements was a blessing in disguise, and mastered a power completely different from the current laws of Valoran.

This royal bloodline cannot use the laws of runes and is a natural rune annihilator, but because of their super high talent for elemental magic, they have developed a new empire in the ancient rainforest of Kumang, far away from the end of the war.

After generations of research, the Ishtars have mastered a number of unique spell-casting techniques, and they have hidden traces of their city through magical barriers, and have avoided Valoran's horrific catastrophes in a way that has been kept out of the way.

Whether it's the Darkspawn War, the Helia Rune War, the Curse of the Ruined King of Fuguang Island, or the Catastrophe of Shurima's Ascension, when the disaster appears, the Ishtars sigh at most that it is really terrible, and then they continue to eat melons silently.

It sounds like these Ishtars are somewhat similar to the river wanderers.

However, because of the development of Kumangu, the Ishtars could no longer stay out of the matter, and faced with the joint development of Picheng, Zuan, Dahe, and Birgewater, the Ishtars also had to face an embarrassing situation.

Now, after thousands of years of isolation from the jungle, the delicate city of Ishokon is barely affected by the outside world—as early as the ruins of Fuguang Island and the rune wars that ensued from afar, the Ishtali have seen the other races of Runeterris as nouveau riche and pretenders, and are determined to keep them out with their powerful magic
