Azeroth Shadow Trail

Chapter 1150 246. Look at your weak and listless appearance, you should be Zhou Zhuo, right?

The noisy night passed quickly.

When the dawn came, Qinglong Temple had restored its former peace. Of course, the traces of the war were still there, the most conspicuous ones were the demon corpses in front of the temple gate and everywhere at the foot of the mountain.

In fact, after a careful inventory, there were not many demons who actually entered the material world last night. This is because the monks at Qinglong Temple took very decisive measures.

Before the demons' front line was fully deployed, he called Yulong Tianzun to join the battlefield forcefully, and destroyed the portal that the demons relied on to enter the material world with a destructive gesture.

Facts have proved that this tactic is absolutely correct.

It effectively avoided the casualties of the Qinglong monks. With the benevolent and wise Yulong Tianzun in charge personally sitting in the town, no matter how serious the injury was, it would not be life-threatening.

But although no one died, the damage to the monks was still not small.

Almost all the monks and soldiers who retreated from the battlefield were wounded, but the sense of mission of defeating the brutal demons and defending the holy land made Yuan Gungun very happy.

They even discussed holding a grand banquet to celebrate the victory.

This is also the "civilization characteristic" of the Pandaren.

They will try their best to hold a banquet in whatever situation they encounter, and then get drunk with their friends and companions, sharing joy or pain with their compatriots.

Banquet culture is a very important part of Pandaren civilization.

Of course, this also has its disadvantages, such as the "drinking table culture" of panda people. For those who don't like or don't know how to drink, it is simply a terrible torture.

Participating in a pandaren banquet is a good thing, but as long as you take the initiative to hold a glass of wine at the banquet, the result waiting for you is to be drunk with enthusiasm and unconscious until the next morning when you open your eyes with a splitting headache .

These passionate guys in the dark are all heroes among alcoholics, and even those gentle pandaren women are famous for being able to drink.

Of course, before holding a banquet in the name of victory, everyone in Qinglong Temple had more important things to do.

For example, clean up the corpses of demons to purify them so as not to pollute the land of the Emerald Forest, or uncover the mastermind behind this demon invasion.

"Snapped"

After eating a hearty breakfast, a package of things was placed on the table in front of the lore scholar Shibu and the Jinyu prophet Mali. The female monk Liu Yanxin with bandages on her face and arms looked ugly. said to his companions:

"I entrusted the old hunters from Podong Village to come to help and searched the mountains and forests. They found these things, which are evil things that we have never seen before.

From it, I heard the wailing of a suspected broken soul. "

The well-informed lorewalker opened the small bag in front of him, picked up an irregular soul stone from it, and looked at it in front of his eyes. This purple crystal-like thing gave off an uncomfortable aura.

The Jinyu prophet next to him was touching his beautiful whiskers, waiting for his big eyes to observe the soul stone carefully. After a few seconds, he said:

"This is very similar to the magic materials used by the Mogu spellcasters in the ancient records of our Jinyu people. If I remember correctly, this should be a stone specially used to store souls.

It is used in many evil rituals.

It is well known that the souls of living things are often attractive to evil things.

The reason why the demons attacked Qinglong Temple so fiercely and resolutely last night was probably lured by these soul stones, just like...

Meat bait sprinkled during hunting. "

"But the mogu in the Emerald Forest are all concentrated in the ancient ruins in the north. It is impossible for them to cross the barrier of the Tianchanyuan and come to Qinglong Temple to make trouble."

Liu Yanxin shook her head, looked at Lorewalker Shibu again, and asked:

"Elder Shibu, besides the mogu in the Jade Forest, are there other people who would use such evil spells?"

"there is none left."

The old pandaren Shi Bu thought for a while and said:

"There is an elderly widow in the Jade Forest, and word is that she uses witchcraft to punish those who disturb her life, but even she does not touch the souls of others.

This is an unforgivable sin in our pandaren culture.

Jinyu people have always hated the power of darkness, and they will not take the initiative to learn such spells, let alone hozen, those stubborn people have no talent for casting spells.

Forest spirits.

It's also unlikely, those guys who are less courageous than the hozen can only play pranks, and rarely hurt people, let alone have anything to do with evil existences like demons. "

Having said that, the three fell silent at the same time.

Liu Yanxin looked around and said in a low voice:

"So, those outsiders?"

"Well, very likely."

Shi Bu nodded, shook his head again, and said:

"But it's definitely not the navy fighters from Kul Tiras who are housed in the Qinglong Temple. They helped us fight against demons last night. Their aversion to demons is not fake.

Moreover, they have been living in Qinglong Temple for the past two months and have not gone out. They have no opportunity, no strength, and no reason to arrange all this.

It should be a fish that slipped through the net.

Or, a newcomer from beyond the fog arrives.

By the way, Ms. Liu, why did the demon leader suppressed by Tianzun escape unexpectedly? Didn't Tianzun express any opinion on this matter? "

"Tianzun is already preparing for her reincarnation in this life, and her strength has entered a weakened state. After the battle last night, she went back to rest in the temple and closed the temple door as before."

Liu Yanxin sighed, and said with a worried face:

"Tianzun doesn't seem to care about this, but just reminds us to be vigilant.

I have communicated with my colleagues in Baihu Temple, Zhuhe Temple, and Niuzao Temple in private. It seems that after the first batch of outsiders entered Pandaria, the four gods fell into collective silence.

The gods should be thinking about the fate of this continent.

They haven't given any revelation yet, presumably because of the follow-up caused by the large-scale fog shock event nearly two years ago. "

"Yes."

The Jinyu seer, who was born good at predicting spells, also let out a long sigh when he heard Liu Yanxin's words. He stroked his fish's whiskers, showing a serious expression on his solemn fish face.

He said:

"Since the shock of the mist triggered visions in various parts of Pandaria, all the elders of our Jinyu people have used their own methods to prophesy in various holy places in history.

The future given to us by the water flow is blurry, full of possible wars, death and destruction, which reminds me of the ancient legends from 10,000 years ago.

The last emperor of this continent, His Majesty Shaohao also embarked on a journey of salvation when we Jinyu predicted that the end was coming.

That time our emperor sacrificed himself to preserve our land and souls. This time, if the end comes again, we will have no one to rely on.

We can only survive with our own strength and will, or we will be buried in the flames of the doomsday.

The mass arrival of outsiders was a revelation.

Perhaps the 10,000-year peace of Pandaria will soon come to an end. The Golden Lotus, the Lorewalkers, and the Shado-Pan are all on the move, and even the black guards stationed at Beaulieu's Spine are recruiting recruits

Alas, troubled times. "

While the three temple elders were discussing the issue, a pandaren monk walked in suddenly and reported to Liu Yanxin:

"Chief Priest, we caught a group of hozens at the edge of the forest. They took advantage of the chaos of the demon attack and slipped into Qinglong Temple to steal food and supplies last night. They were responsible for the damage to the armory.

We've interrogated, and those hozen admit to being responsible for last night's demonic invasion! "

"Ok?"

This bizarre truth caused the eyes of the three elders to widen in unison, and they couldn't believe it in each other's eyes.

With the hozen's chaotic brain and funny personality, can they summon such a large-scale demon invasion?

The monk who came to report the letter probably also realized the problem in his words, so he scratched his head and quickly explained:

"I mean, the hozens said they summoned the demons under the leadership of a 'bad boss', a very bad boss they said told them to sprinkle purple stones all over the mountain, and he himself was responsible for turning on the demons door.

The hozen we caught were the most stubborn guys who were unwilling to obey the bad boss's order to retreat. The hozen who really obeyed the order fled southwest under the leadership of a hozen named Kenken before the battle was over.

Now it is estimated that he has hidden in the mountains, and it will be difficult to hunt down. "

"Hozens are good at moving in the mountains and forests. Now that they have been educated by evil people, they will only be more difficult to deal with. The Emerald Forest has many mountains, and now they escape into the mountains. Even if the dragon knights patrol every day, it is difficult to catch them. trace."

Lorewalker Shibu frowned and said:

"And those hozens snatched the spare weapons and armor in the temple, which greatly increased their danger. Now I doubt that the 'bad boss' of the hozens is probably still somewhere in the Jade Forest.

Our friend Zhou Zhuo helped us see through his plot last night, but that 'bad boss' may still be planning more dangerous things, we must find him immediately!

But Qinglong monks cannot leave easily if they want to guard the holy land.

This matter, I think, should be handed over to real professionals. "

Chief Priest Liu Yanxin nodded. Elder Shi Bu was right. He was able to single-handedly bring about such a massive demonic invasion last night. He was clearly no ordinary villain.

Although the Azure Dragon Monk is brave, he is not professional in hunting, so he needs to get someone more powerful.

"I will send a message to the Shado-Pan Monastery right now, asking the head of the Shado-Pan Sect, Zhu Taran, to send the most powerful follower."

The head priest clenched her furry paws, she swung her fox-like tail, and that cute panda showed a cold and menacing expression.

She stopped the soul stone scattered on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"At all costs! This nasty 'bad boss' must be caught!"

——

"Oh, this Pandaria is about to change."

On the way home from Qinglong Temple, Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo thought of the demon battle last night, his feet were a little weak, he sighed, and at the same time he collected the external information he had collected from those Kul Tiras sailors Take it out and look through it.

He is an old lorewalker.

It is still the most orthodox kind of lorewalker, only interested in novelty and various stories and the wisdom that can be gleaned from them.

Unlike Elder Shibu, who Wen Neng reads to find wisdom, and Wu Neng clenched his fist to open his head, Lorewalker Zhou Zhuo is a typical pandaren "literati". He doesn't know anything about guns, sticks and swords, but he is very knowledgeable.

He can also play the piano well and write good calligraphy. He has lived in the Jade Forest for generations, but he has a family background that travels the world.

Of course, the "world" in the pandaren's eyes refers to the continent of Pandaria.

This place has been blocked by fog for ten thousand years, and they can't go anywhere else if they want to.

But even this land alone can bring a lot of wisdom to wanderers, but no matter how good a place is, it will be boring to stay for ten thousand years, so wanderers like Zhou Zhuo are also very interested in the outside world.

They have tried many methods, including looking for a group of old fishermen to fish Weng, taking a boat, looking for the mysterious Jinyu sages and using teleportation magic, etc., trying to leave the foggy continent, but they have not succeeded.

The seal left by Emperor Shaohao was too strong for ordinary people to pass through.

This is very disappointing.

Not long ago, after an outsider entered the Misty Continent, Zhou Zhuo, who received the news, immediately ended his long journey in the Mantis Plateau excitedly, rushed back to the Jade Forest as fast as he could, and ran to the Qinglong Temple to borrow the help of his colleagues. In the relationship of the Lorewalker, he got a temporary errand under the command of Elder Shi Bu, so that he could get in touch with people from "outside".

Zhou Zhuo was not the only one who did the same thing, at least a dozen lorewalkers were gathered in Qinglong Temple, but Zhou Zhuo was the one with the fastest legs.

He has collected a lot of information and is about to go back to his home and sort it out.

Lorewalkers are really powerful guys. They learned the pronunciation and writing of human language in a short period of time. Zhou Zhuo, who was walking on the mountain road, fantasized about the human being while looking at the written story. What kind of scenery should the country look like?

It is said that human beings established an empire since a great man named Thoradin defeated the tyrannical trolls, and then they were divided into seven by accidents, and fought against each other endlessly, until seven or eight years ago, they encountered the barbaric orcs who broke into the world and fought for a whole day. After seven years of fighting, hundreds of thousands of warriors were killed and wounded before the orcs were defeated.

Tsk tsk, for the Pandaren, this kind of large-scale war is almost the same as the myth of their rebellion against the Mogu Empire more than 10,000 years ago.

Hundreds of thousands of people died.

Zhou Zhuo pursed his lips.

He couldn't imagine that kind of cruel scene, but he always felt very uncomfortable. Why did he fight?

If you have any conflicts, just sit together, eat, drink and talk about conflicts, wouldn't it be good?

Just as he was thinking this, the purple-red little flying dragon Mishi floating beside Zhou Zhuo suddenly let out a howl, which woke up the traveler, and he looked up.

Yo, there is someone lying on the side of the road ahead? It seems that he is sleeping, and he is wearing a strange mask, and there are several empty wine bottles beside him.

Who is this, so immoral!

The good-natured Pandaren Lorewalker was about to step forward to scold him, but suddenly narrowed his eyes, this guy has no hair on his body!

This is an outsider!

Good guy!

Big fish caught!

He immediately thought of what Elder Shibu told him when he left the temple just now, saying that the hozen has a bad boss who is suspected to be an outsider, and he was the one who triggered the demon invasion last night.

Should not.

Is this the guy in front of you?

Zhou Zhuo's heart began to pound, he tried his best to lighten his steps, backed up little by little, without disturbing the guy sleeping under the tree, backed away a dozen steps, turned around and ran towards Qinglong Temple.

While running, he shouted:

"Master Mi! Master Mi, hurry up and report!"

The purple-red little dragon beside him responded, spinning its body like a nimble snake, and was about to rush out, but the next moment, a whistling shadow flew over, turning into a cage and trapping the dragon in place.

A figure flipped out and kicked the running Zhou Zhuo's legs.

With a thud, the helpless Pandaren Lorewalker was kicked and fell to the ground, the scrolls in his hands were scattered, and he reached out to put back the paper he had recorded, ignoring his sore wrist and knee.

As a result, when he looked up, he saw the masked guy squatting in front of his eyes.

Bu Laike reached out and took off the mask on his face, shook his long golden hair, looked at the familiar pandaren with a smile, and said:

"Oh, we meet again. Dear Your Excellency Zhou Zhuo, why don't you invite me to sit in Huangliang Pavilion? I have nowhere to go now."

He stretched out his hand again, picked up the scattered papers in front of his eyes, looked at them before his eyes, and said with a snort:

"What kind of story do you remember! It's all hearsay! It was a groundless thing, and if you spread it again, it means you are also responsible.

Don't listen to the nonsense of those marines, how could so many people participate in the Battle of the Burning Plains?

I am a real witness, and Orgrim was not killed by Dailin himself, and these Kul Tirans will put gold on their admiral's face.

Bah, shameless. "

Bu Laike looked scornful, but Zhou Zhuo would be full of fear.

It's over, it's over!

I saw the face of this "bad boss", and I was going to be silenced!

Isn't that what the stories say?
