Azeroth Trail of Light

Everything is silent, only the sound of feet stepping on falling snow can be heard around, and the gust of wind will blow up snowflakes from time to time, making the world that is already covered in silver whiter and colder.

Tao Shi is walking in the depths of the snow-white Kun-Lai Mountains. Here are the ruins of a palace. It may be the palace of a Mogu warlord that fell in time. But now there is only a bleak ruin, which may be hundreds of years old. , No one has even been here for thousands of years, so the snow here also exudes a barbaric smell.

This snow mountain is not as peaceful as it looks on the surface. In fact, in this deserted valley, there are many dangerous creatures, such as tigers, hozens, and snowmen.

The snowmen of Pandaria are not the same as the snowmen of Azeroth that can only scare ordinary people.

The snowmen here are real giants, generally reaching about 6 meters, covered with white or red fur, with great strength, and omnivorous creatures, which means that they will eat anything when they are most hungry, pandaren, hozen and even are the mysterious mogu that roam the region.

Fortunately, snowmen generally don't come and go in this season, which made Tao Shi feel relieved.

Like ordinary assassins, Tao Shi is not used to many people working together. She scattered all the pandaren assassins under her command, and kept looking for clues about what Dick said in this area, while she went deep into the most dangerous place alone. in the area.

Tao Shi likes to be quiet. Since she was born, she likes to be alone. This is probably because she lost her family when she was a child. It was a buffalo invasion. In the dangerous place of Mantis Plateau, this kind of Things are very common. In Taoshi's hometown, in addition to the dangerous yaungol, there are also vicious mantids and mysterious and brutal mogu.

It was a truly war-torn land, which is very rare in a peaceful place like Pandaria. Even the power of the Shado-Pan faction is difficult to penetrate in the Mantis Plateau. Tao Shi wandered there for 2 years Later, she met Zhu Taran who was out on a mission. At that time, she was hunting a dangerous yak alone. She was small, malnourished, and only had a broken sword in her hand. Zhu Taran, who was in the dark, was also shocked by this little panda's unique ruthlessness and grasp of fighters.

He brought her back to the Shado-Pan sect and accepted her as a closed disciple. In the following thirty years, Tao Shi grew up rapidly. Although the pandaren are not as long-lived as the elves, they still have a lifespan of 200 years , So the current Tao Shi is essentially a half-grown girl, but she is already the top assassin in Pandaria.

In addition, Zhu Taran is actually not as young as he looks on the outside, which is why Lao Chen respects him very much. This resolute monk has led the Shado-Pan Sect for 150 years. It is not impossible for a monk of Qi to prolong his life after he has cultivated to a very high level. See Master Shang Xi from The Wandering Island. In fact, Lili also said that some people guessed that Master Shang Xi was the first batch of A pandaren who followed Liu Lang out.

That is to say, Master Shang Xi's age is probably over 800 years old.

Tao Shi feels like a father to Zhu Taran. She likes the Shado-Pan faction. Although everyone doesn't like to talk very much, it is indeed her home. She is willing to give everything for her home, but for her Dick, Tao Shi has an indescribable feeling.

I don't hate it, but I absolutely don't like it. That person seems to be carrying a heavy shackle, just like Zhu Taran, and as long as he gets close to him, Tao Shi can feel a certain indifference hidden under that smiling face... even indifferent.

He doesn't seem to care about anything, but he always seems to be thinking about things that are extremely important to the common people.

It was a very contradictory feeling, in short, Tao Shi didn't like it.

But this does not affect her earnestly fulfilling Dick's mission. After all, Tao Shi is still a soldier, even though Pandaria does not have an army.

There were messy things in his mind, but Tao Shi didn't stop searching. After lightly jumping down from the branch and disturbing a snow rabbit hiding in the snow, the assassin suddenly heard the sound of weapons colliding, This made her alert immediately, and she just took a step forward, and the whole person disappeared in place.

The voice came from the side of the mountain in front. Even a daring assassin like Tao Shi would not take the initiative to approach that place, because as long as his feet slipped, he would be buried in the cliff, and the drop was dozens of meters, and the bottom is full of sharp stone cones, especially this place is covered with snow.

But when Tao Shi fixed her body with flying claws and hung outside the mountain depression, she saw an unexpected situation. Under the cover of the depression facing inward, there was a strange cave, a dark cave embedded in the mountain. On the wall, if it wasn't for someone like Tao Shi who was attracted by the sound of the weapon's impact, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

In Tao Shi's gaze, a mogu soldier covered in blue skin was carrying a tiger's corpse and walked into the cave.

Mogu, this is a race of giants that once ruled Pandaria for tens of thousands of years. They reached their peak during the reign of the first emperor, Lei Shen. Lei Shen defeated all the warlords in the entire Mogu tribe and established the most powerful force in history. The empire, at that time, the night elves had not yet appeared. In the whole world, there were only two empires, the Zandalari and the Mogu. Thor implemented a dictatorial rule internally, unified the writing, unified weights and measures, and built the Great Wall to resist the once-a-thousand-year mantid invasion. .

And it is the only powerful force recorded in history that can take the initiative to drive the mantid back to the wasteland of fear. From this point of view, Thor is actually a great king, but after he owns the world, he is not satisfied and continues to covet God Power, together with the emperor of Zandalari at that time, went to the furnace of origin in an attempt to get involved in the huge energy left by the Titans. As a result, a small part of the furnace of origin was detonated by the Creator and the death squad of the original tol'vir, killing them completely.

After the death of Thor, the entire mogu tribe also declined rapidly, but his power was still there, so the mogu rule spread for thousands of years. Finally, the hero of the pandaren, the first monk "Fist of Dawn" Kang Under his leadership, the enslaved races of the entire Pandaria, including the savage lizardmen, began to fight back, and the mogu dynasty eventually perished.

Then came the age of the Pandaren.

In that counterattack, 80% of the mogu were killed, but a small part survived, they continued to multiply, and eventually this race flourished again, but it no longer had the previous authority, and now it can only be a bandit continue to live on.

Tao Shi has killed more than one mogu, she knows how difficult this giant creature is to deal with, they are extremely powerful, and their skin is tough, and they are good at martial arts, some mogu can also use unique stone magic, but in front of This teal mogu was different!

Tao Shi can be sure, this can be seen from the exquisite armor he wears, this is not the armor that the down-and-out Mogu can make now, and it is so sharp that it makes people feel scalp numb at a glance It is even better than the skill of a pandaren blacksmith.

He was wearing cumbersome things, as well as pendants and iron medals that represented his identity, which were obviously not available to mogu who had lost their own culture.

"Gravekeeper!"

This idea immediately jumped into Tao Shi's mind. This must be the tomb guard of a certain Mogu emperor. It is said that there are mysterious alchemists around those emperors, who can make Mogu people enter a strange state of longevity for ten thousand years, forever The emperor who guards them, whether alive or dead, the Pandaren generally refer to that kind of existence as "terracotta warriors".

Tao Shi felt that he had found the place Dick mentioned.

But now we have to go!

An assassin is not a warrior, and she should leave when she finds a place. She can assassinate skillfully, but if she is surrounded by heavy soldiers, and it is a strange existence like the mogu terracotta warriors, then it will be difficult for her to escape.

Tao Shi recorded the position silently, and then retracted her flying claws, but the moment she climbed up the mountain again, more than a dozen mogu soldiers in blue, wearing exquisite armor, and looking like dead people, had already blocked them. all her ways.

In the forefront, a purple mogu terracotta stared at her with icy, unmixed eyes, like a prey.

He didn't hold the beheading swords of those soldiers in his hand, but a pair of bows and arrows made of steel, and a bag of refined steel arrows on his back, with golden fingers on his fingers. Obviously, this is a man who is good at archery. Mogu generals.

Tao Shi bared her teeth, like a female leopard meeting her opponent, she bent down, put both hands in her palms and moved flexibly, this is the weapon custom-made for her by the master assassins of the Shado-Pan sect, accompanying her in the Mantis Plateau, killed the enemy on the Great Wall in the wasteland of fear, and today, it will accompany her to fight in this silent valley.

Tao Shi knew that she had little hope of winning, but at least she had to spread the news before she died.

Not for the heavy responsibilities Dick shouldered.

Just because she's a soldier, just because she's on a mission, that's all.

The atrium of the White Tiger Temple is where monks train. Pandaren in Pandaria have developed the mysterious profession of monks to the extreme. Each temple has its own unique inheritance, and even each monk family has The monk's secret technique.

Lao Chen's Hundred Crack Claw is one of them. It belongs to the secret skill of the Storm Spirits family, but this kind of Azeroth's top martial art is nothing in Pandaria. The master monk of Sunny Peak, every There are dozens of advanced martial arts comparable to Baichuangclaw.

The Baihu Temple also has its own heritage. The pandaren here are good at using the nirvana of the palm of their hands. Valeira once said that when Lao Chen fights, it is like dancing. But when I really came to the Baihu Temple, I saw those female pandaren Everyone knows what is beautiful and ferocious from the way the monk fights with his opponents.

But soon, a piece of bad news reached Dick's ears. He followed the monk to a secret room with a serious face. He looked at Tao Shi lying on the bed, the panda that he had seen once before. Assassin, now she is extremely desolate, her abdomen was completely pierced by three arrows, and her body is covered with scars. In fact, when the dying Tao Shi fell into the pool behind the White Tiger Temple, she was soaked in the cold water again. After 2 hours, at this moment, this silent pandaren assassin has entered the end of his life.

Dick looked at the pandaren in front of him. This was not the first person to die because of his orders, nor would he be the last. He looked at Tao Shi's painful face in a coma, and endless thoughts rolled in his mind , he thought he could ask those people to die for him with a blank face, because all of this had a lofty goal.

But now, looking at Tao Shi who is about to die, Dick suddenly realizes that no matter how lofty the goal is, it is not worth these people who should have a good life and life to die for him.

This should have been his responsibility!

But now Tao Ya is burdened.

Dick stretched out his hand, trembling, with a somewhat fearful palm, he sincerely hoped that what happened to Liadrin and Velinde could happen to Tao Shi again.

"Holy Light... If you can hear it, please send this life back. Please use your kindness to stop my heart from suffering!"

"Holy Light, please grant me this glory."

"Give me... the power to change all of this."

"drop…"
