Legends of Runeterra

The Kumangu Jungle is located in the northeast of the Shurima continent. Due to the large amount of water vapor brought by the humid sea breeze every year, this place is full of green plants compared to the yellow sand-filled Shurima.

Huge and complex water systems are spread throughout this area, including Kumanggu, Parosa, Mang River Delta...several huge jungles are divided by rivers.

The further south you go, the more obvious the primeval forest landscape becomes.

The Vastaya tribe, the Shadow Blue, the Crimson Tree Monster, and even in the deepest part of the jungle, where even the original Vastaya tribe dare not approach, there is the legendary 'Elemental Dragon'.

Although the name contains the word "sub-dragon", its power, which is so powerful to mortal life, is no different from that of a real dragon.

It's like being crushed by a ten-ton and a hundred-ton weight respectively. It's death either way.

Of course, the Hex Crystal mining area does not go deep into the jungle, but it is indeed surrounded by virgin forest.

"Crack~!"

"damn it!"

Looking at the colorful mosquito in his hand, which was as big as a thumb and had been filled with blood at some point, Domino cursed in a low voice.

Touching the numb bite area, Domino staggered to his feet and slowly walked towards the tent not far away.

"Old Trek, give me some medicine. I've been bitten by that damn jungle mosquito again!"

"Here, use it sparingly. Food is getting scarce now. I'm too hungry to go collect herbs."

Taking the small bottle handed over by the old man, Domino quickly opened it, poured out some light green potion with a slightly pungent smell, and raised his hand to rub it on his neck.

"Hoo~!"

As a cool feeling dispelled the numbness and itchiness on his neck, Domino breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks, Brother Trek."

"Ha! You are really real!"

“Hehe~! I can’t help it. I’m almost driven crazy by this damn jungle.

I would rather breathe in the haze of Zaun than stay in this hot and humid place where you can squeeze water out of the air!"

"Who said it wasn't? Damn it! Not only did the original road disappear, but even the road that the breakout team had chopped out was no longer found in less than half an hour.

This damn place...it's like...it's alive..."

As Old Trek spoke, his expression became increasingly ugly, with a hint of fear in his eyes.

As the pharmacist of the Philos family's mine, he knew very well the growth rates of those common plants.

The growth rate was against common sense. There must be some terrible creature hiding in the jungle, using this method to tease and play with these humans who destroyed the tranquility of the forest.

"Damn it, it's those guys with rusty gears in their brains.

This has never happened before. If they hadn't come into the jungle in droves, we wouldn't have to suffer so much!"

"Alas! At this point, there is nothing we can do. I hope the breakout team can get out and ask for help from the family."

"Yes, it's definitely possible. Maybe the people sent by the family have already arrived at the landing point!"

"Haha~! That's right.

Well, get out of here, if you want to sleep peacefully tonight without being eaten by mosquitoes, don't get in the way of Old Trek's medicine making."

"Okay, I'll be leaving soon. Take your time. Call me anytime if you need help."

Domino walked out of the tent while carefully applying the medicine to every part of his body.

With them, he wouldn't be bitten by those damn mosquitoes at least until dark.

...

“Crack~!”

"Shua~!"

The agile figure flashed in the jungle, leaving a faint blue light in the air.

Compared with the high-rise buildings made of bricks and stones in the Twin Cities, the terrain of the Kumanggu jungle is more complex.

Every time Camille pops out the hook, she has to be more careful about the surrounding environment to avoid excessive wear and tear or even damage.

After all, there are no repair materials in this primitive jungle.

"Pfft~!"

With a dull thud, Camille's sharp foot blade pierced steadily into the moss-covered tree trunk.

Hanging upside down in the air, Camille's Hextech eyes, flashing with bright blue light, scanned the surrounding environment.

Camille had been walking in the jungle for four days since she got off the boat at the landing shore and entered the jungle.

We were originally following the instructions on the map, but not long after we started walking, everything started to go wrong.

First the road disappeared, then the compass stopped working, and finally even the orientation sensing function of this Hextech body began to fall into chaos and became completely unusable.

During this period, Camille did choose to travel on the top of the jungle canopy, but the fragile branches and leaves could not always support her to stay on the top of the canopy. As long as she returned to the jungle, her sense of direction would be disturbed again.

And these are not the most troublesome things for her at the moment.

What's more serious is that two days ago, she felt that in this strange jungle, there was a pair of hunter's eyes secretly watching her.

It never attacks, but never leaves either. It is cunning and insidious, waiting for its prey to reach its most tired state before launching a fatal blow.

"You are so patient..."

Whether it was perception or the early warning function of the Hex body, no problems were found.

Camille, hanging upside down on the tree trunk, remained calm, only pausing for a moment when she pulled out the foot blade that had pierced the tree trunk.

“Crack~!”

The winches on both sides of her thighs shot out hooks again, just as Camille was about to swing out.

"Shua~!"

A deep purple light shone in the shadows.

"Om~!"

The Hextech crystal core in the body released a large amount of energy, and a dark blue shield quickly appeared around Camille.

"Crunch~!"

A sharp and piercing scraping sound was heard, and a crack that almost split the shield in two suddenly appeared.

"Buzz!"

Camille didn't turn her head, but twisted her body in mid-air. Hextech energy poured into the foot blade frantically, and the abundant energy made her entire right leg emit a blue light.

"Shua~!"

The foot blade, shining with blue light, swept across, creating a cutting surface with a radius of five or six meters, tearing apart everything in its path.

"How could that be!?"

The blade did not feel like it was tearing any flesh. Without too much time to think, Camille immediately activated the Hextech core, trying to put up a barrier again.

"Shua~!"

"Stab~!"

A deep purple light flashed by, and the Hextech body made of a special alloy did not play any role. Just like a hot knife cutting butter for breakfast, Camille was instantly split into two.

"Bang~!"

It was not until she fell to the ground covered with thick rotten leaves that Camille came to her senses.

The intense pain that she had reserved at her request came, but it did not shake her at all. What really made Camille unbelievable was that in less than three rounds, she lost to the opponent without even seeing what the guy was.

“Crack! Crack! Crack!”

The hextech energy circuit flashed with blue arcs, and Camille's vision slowly fell into darkness.

"Change is a good thing~!"

Those harsh and gloomy words, revealing an endless desire to devour, became the last voice Camille heard before she lost consciousness.
