Chapter 377: Being Taken First?
At this time, Lu Kuan couldn't help but be a little excited, turned his head to look at the black beast stretching his body and running next to him, and said in his heart For you, I broke my heart~
The final outcome will soon be known.
Nothing was said all the way, and an hour later, outside Rune City.
Lu Kuan lay on his stomach in the grass, trying to lay his body flat, and then raised his head slightly and looked ahead.
Through Dimi's dark vision, Lu Kuan saw the magnificent city hundreds of meters away.
Like all other dwarven cities, most of Runeterra's castles are at the foot of the mountain, with the main castle on the innermost side, built entirely against the mountain.
In the soft light of the two moons, you can see that the walls of Rune City are still standing proudly, magnificent and majestic - not to mention anything else in the game, let's just say this art design level, after so many years, Lu Kuan still can't help but admire.
Lu Kuan's eyes swept over the castle, and soon looked at the huge stone pillar in front of the castle through the gap in the city wall.
Because it's so conspicuous.
The entire stone pillar was shrouded in a faint blue light, like a glow stick that had been magnified countless times and poked there, and it was impossible not to see it.
The surface of the stone pillar is glorious, mysterious and magnificent, but Lu Kuan, who saw this beautiful scenery, was not happy.
Because from the top of the stone pillar, from time to time there is the cry of a thundering eagle, in addition to the unique sound of adult birds that resembles muffled thunder, there is also a kind of "croaking", like an old eagle's ugly call, at this volume, at least ten miles out at night.
The calls of juvenile and adult thunderhawks are very easy to distinguish, and it is clear that this nest is a family of three.
"Damn, I'll go back and finish off that gnolle's lair, I can't tell!" Lu Kuan cursed viciously.
But now there is no choice but to wait - waiting for one of them to go out and forage.
If both Thundering Eagles are there, then at least one of them will be awake and constantly vigilant around, with the hearing and sight of Thundering Eagles, it is too risky to rush over like this.
Lu Kuan did not dare to venture into the city, and chose to stay outside under the cover of the dilapidated city wall, safety first.
The mountains and forests in the wild are breezy, and it is really a little cold to lie on the ground without a tent, but fortunately there is Dimi next to him - Lu Kuan rolled over to Dimi on the spot and squeezed towards the black wolf.
Dimi was lying on the ground staring at the bird's nest, feeling Lu Kuan squeezing over, he immediately turned his head sideways and licked Lu Kuan's head, and then leaned on one side to expose his belly, letting Lu Kuan lean on his stomach.
It's warm now~
Lu Kuan pulled one of Dimi's front legs on himself, and waited so quietly, when he was bored, he pulled a blade of grass in his mouth, looked at the totem pillar in the distance from time to time, and paid attention to the movements of the thundering eagle,
According to the plan, now Rona and the others should have arrived at the periphery of Runetera City, and the two sides agreed that if there is no news here from Lu Kuan at dawn, everyone will not care so much, and they will rush here directly.
Fortunately, Lu Kuan's luck was good this time, because after just waiting for more than ten minutes, the cry of the thundering eagle chicks became louder and louder, and soon grew to the point of unbearable proportions.
"Quack~quack~"
It's like an oversized tweeter on a pillar, which is annoying, but Lu Kuan's heart was immediately happy, and he poked his head out from under Dimi's front legs and looked ahead.
Sure enough, as the chicks' calls became more and more rapid, a pair of huge wings opened silently at the top of the pillar, and then stretched out vigorously.
Lu Kuan couldn't see the bird's appearance clearly, he could only see the electric light that kept flickering at the end of the wings, and the slight "crackling" sound that reached Lu Kuan's ears across a distance of hundreds of meters.
Immediately after, another, larger figure also stood up from the nest, and the two large birds seemed to communicate briefly, and then the larger one flapped its wings and glided down the totem pole and flew north.
In Lu Kuan's point of view, this big bird is like installing a thruster on its buttocks, with its wings fanned, it has already appeared in the air dozens of meters away in the next second, and it is so fast that it leaves a bright white silver line in the air.
"It's not wrong, it's the Thundering Eagle......" Seeing this scene, Lu Kuan held the blade of grass in his mouth, his brows furrowed slightly.
The larger one that flew away was the male, and the natural ones left behind were the females and chicks, and the females must be busy taking care of their children at this time, which was a rare opportunity!
So seeing the male bird disappear into the sky, Lu Kuan didn't dare to delay, immediately got up, and hurried towards the city wall with his waist bent.
After lightly passing over the wreckage under the city wall, Lu Kuan hid behind the huge stone, paused slightly, looked at the totem pillar, and then his body shook again, rushing towards a large banyan tree in front of him like lightning.
In this way, when there was movement, Lu Kuan stopped cautiously, and when Dimi confirmed that the female thundering eagle above was not alert, he set off again, walking and stopping, and it took more than ten minutes, Lu Kuan finally arrived at a place about 100 meters away from the totem giant pillar according to the original plan.
Speaking of Lu Kuan's plan, we have to mention the structure of Rune City.
The overall topography of Rune City is slowly descending from northwest to southeast, the northwest corner is the main fortress, the southeast corner is the main gate, and Lu Kuan comes in from the gap in the east city wall, and you can reach the totem giant pillar all the way to the west.
The height of the giant pillar is about 100 meters, the diameter is more than 20 meters, and the pillar itself has no entrance, only in the east, south, west and north directions of the giant pillar, there are four relatively hidden underground entrances.
These entrances connect to the passage underneath the Totem Pillar and the only entrance to the inner staircase of the Pillar.
At this time, Lu Kuan squatted next to the entrance on the east side, poked his head out of the shadows, listened to the movement above, and then turned around to look at the ruins in front of him, his eyes flashing.
The underground entrance is two inclined wooden doors, flanked by statues of dwarven warriors more than four meters high, which have been cracked in many places after years of wind and rain and unmaintained.
The wooden door is also broken, and the corners are covered with turquoise moss, but they are still basically the same as they were seven years ago - much like the cellar entrance of the common dwellings in the game, but to force that big two circles,
And what made Lu Kuan hesitate in front of him was a messy footprint in front of the wooden door - fresh traces, not from animals, but from boots, looking at the size and shape, the footprints should be humans, or tall elves.
"Anyone else here?" Lu Kuan's heart immediately lifted.
If there was no thundering eagle on his head, Lu Kuan could still speculate that there were explorers or thieves who came here to fight the autumn wind.
But dozens of meters away, there is a thundering eagle that can single out several griffins, will anyone run here without long eyes?
Thinking of this, Lu Kuan took out his short crossbow, checked the poison on the crossbow arrow, and then glanced at Dimi, and a man and a wolf quickly got into the passage.
