However, just like before, even though Li Ke could kill a monster with every three steps, an Elite monster with every five steps, and a Boss monster with every ten steps, his luck seemed to have lost its effectiveness in this desert. Let alone monsters, even the Zergs were not looking for him. The moment he was waiting for didn't appear at all, even after they passed by the dangerous gathering place of the sandworms.
"How strange. Usually, there would be one or two sandworms."
Sivir knitted her brows as they walked past the ordinary-looking desert. She looked at the desert behind her in bewilderment, but she couldn't see anything apart from a desert that was constantly being blown by the wind.
"Yeah, I'm actually quite curious too. What a pity."
Li Ke nodded in agreement. He really wanted to see what the six-meter-long sandworms looked like and how they tasted. Sivir, who was prejudiced against him, looked at Li Ke as though he was an idiot. Then, she let out a sigh and remained silent.
"I feel like you're thinking of something rude."
Li Ke wasn't too bothered by Sivir's attitude because he was used to her treating him as an idiot. Even though it was a little strange, Li Ke knew that as long as he displayed his strength, her attitude would change immediately. This was what Li Ke saw in Sivir's eyes. She was a greedy little girl who respected the strong and respected the rich.
She was more than 80% similar to Sarah.
Li Ke was very experienced in dealing with such a girl. He knew not to refute her words and thoughts. Instead, he silently slapped her in the face with facts. However, he couldn't help but ask again.
"Alright then. But Miss Sivir, if one day, someone suddenly told you that you're a princess of a country, how would you react?"
Sivir turned to Li Ke again.
"I wouldn't react."
"Why?"
"Because I don't dream during the day."
"…"
Li Ke once again experienced the feeling of being ignored by Miss Sarah. Therefore, he silently opened his water bag and drank a mouthful of water before eating the tasteless biscuit.
To be honest, he tasted pretty good. The flour used to make the biscuit in his hand was very good. It had an abnormally rich wheat aroma, and every bite was like swimming in a golden wheat field. The only problem was that the wheat fragrance came from the unpeeled wheat husks. So sometimes, Li Ke could still eat something with a very subtle texture. It was normal for there to be sand and stones in the noodles.
After all, you couldn't expect a group of mercenaries to have good food.
The reason why he was eating on the camel's back was very simple. The people they were escorting this time had already arrived at their destination, so they didn't rest midway and increased their speed. Before Li Ke finished his biscuit, the dozen men in black robes escorted by the team began to make a ruckus. They began to communicate with the mercenaries in Shurima, which they weren't familiar with.
Li Ke didn't care about them at first, but when they were talking to their leader, Di Haluo, they suddenly mentioned a name in Noxus language that Li Ke had heard before.
"Is the Scythe of the Heart here?"
Li Ke instantly perked up, and the smile on his face gradually faded, turning into a serious look. Sivir, who stood beside him, also shuddered at that moment. She looked at Li Ke in confusion, but she didn't think that Li Ke, who always had a gentle smile on his face, would be a threat, so she turned her head away.
Li Ke didn't care about her. He listened attentively to their conversation in Noxus language and began to analyze their situation.
"According to the map, it should be nearby."
A man in a black robe holding a map said.
"But we don't see anything like a temple. Could it be that these mercenaries led us to the wrong place?"
Another man in a black robe asked.
After that, their conversation ended because Di Haluo had gone over. They also saw Li Ke nearby. But what made Li Ke tighten his grip on the reins was that the black-robed man who asked the question actually said something to him after seeing him. "You're right."
"It seems that our immortal still doesn't know where he is going, right?"
"Ha, but he isn't under our control. Wait until the main force arrives, then we will catch him."
These words made Li Ke's eyes grow colder and colder. However, he put on a gentle smile and waved to the two men in black robes to express his goodwill. However, his goodwill didn't receive any good comments. One of the two men in black robes sneered, while the other scolded him for being a fool who only knew how to use brute force.
Li Ke didn't mind this time because he had always been generous to the dead.
After that, Di Haluo and the man with the map compared their directions again. After they discussed some places that Li Ke had never heard of, the whole team changed their direction slightly and headed in another direction. Not long after, they saw a withered forest in the distance and a gloomy palace ruins standing on a piece of black sand.
Li Ke and the others weren't allowed to get close to the dilapidated palace. Instead, they set up camp on the land far away from the black sand and prepared to spend a few days nearby. The Noxus people were going to excavate here, so the guards and laborers of the mercenary group had to start preparing. They would either guard the camp, assist the Noxus people, or enter the ruins with the Noxus people.
As for Li Ke, although some Noxus people wanted him to follow them into the ruins, Di Haluo stopped them. He asked Sivir to look after Li Ke, and then went into the palace or tomb with the Noxus people. That was why Li Ke, who had planned to sabotage Sivir in the ruins, was left behind in the campsite with the unwilling Sivir.
And what about Sivir? After confirming that Li Ke didn't do anything strange, she picked up her sword and began her training.
