As early as when the Curse of Ruin erupted, Maokai sensed the crisis and extended his roots deep into the earth in advance, trying his best to extract the water of life until it filled every corner of his body.

But even so, Maokai's appearance was still broken and distorted, becoming the twisted tree spirit in the legend of the Shadow Isles. Only those outstanding explorers or sailors who dared to explore this man-eating island and escaped unscathed could hear about him.

Ever since the Curse of the Ruin, Maokai has been hostile to humans, believing that it was their selfishness and greed that destroyed the island, his home.

But now, his opinion of the person in front of him has changed greatly: "I sense the breath of the Water of Life. How did you do it?!"

Maokai's eyes first focused on the strange-looking Aatrox, but soon shifted to Li Lin, who had the strongest remaining breath of life.

"World Rune."

The armor on Li Lin's body quickly returned to normal clothing, except for a metal container in the style of a satchel on his waist, which contained the Rune of Determination World.

"Humans once sealed the World Runes. The aura they released gave birth to the water of life on this island. But I've never seen anyone master them without their will being twisted!"

Nourished by the breath of life, Maokai has shed his twisted shell and transformed back into a peaceful ancient tree, with much of the hostility in his heart dissipated.

"Obviously, I'm an exception." Li Lin shrugged with a smile.

Maokai is not the only "hero" of Shadow Isles. In addition to this nature spirit, several others have arrived one after another.

The gravedigger who had been wandering around the Shadow Isles sensed something and immediately came running to Yorick and the spirit doll Gwen flew over on a pair of big scissors.

There is also a soul that Li Lin is not very familiar with, but compared with other souls, it is an unusually tall soul...Laizhuosi.
