Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"My sisters are burning those filthy plants manipulated by evil magic, and the Duke of Hydraxia whom you summoned smells the scent of his fallen kin.

It volunteered to purify the pollution in this underground lake, but we couldn't find a way to continue downward. "

After Blake completed his promise to the Malody clan, Serra Moonguard continued to report to Blake in a hoarse tone:

"The road to the deepest part of the Holy Land of Marathon is completely blocked by the power of the earth. We can't open it if we can't find the key. In addition, I found this in that Satyr."

The Watcher spread out his hand, and in his palm lay a Silmarillion that was no longer shining.

It seemed to be corrupted by the power of darkness, and the wailing could be vaguely heard from it.

Blake took the thing and showed the filthy Silmarillion to his "new friends" behind him. The three prophets explained to Blake in the language of centaurs.

"My centaur friends tell me that this gem is part of their ancient relics."

The pirate turned back, waved the gem in his hand, and said to the others:

"They said they were their 'father's' kindred, a group of jungle guardians and dryads from Moonglade, who came here to appease Zaltar's resentment.

Perhaps he came here on the order of the King of the Forest.

The Malodi tribe has always had panic and thoughts of atonement for their ancestors' assassination of the great 'father', so they helped the jungle guardian make this sacred object.

It is the key to Zaltar's tomb and the residence of the Earth Princess. Only it can open the passage to the lower level. "

"Where's the other part?"

The old cow next to him moved his shoulders uncomfortably. He held his halberd and said menacingly:

"This underground cave makes me very uncomfortable, as if something is staring at me and cursing me. I don't want to stay any longer! Let's end this quickly."

"The other part."

Blake felt the atmosphere around him and said:

"Don't worry, it will be delivered soon.

Well, it's great to explore a place like this with a strong party. I don't even have to do it myself, and those evil things will die automatically.

It also has the ability to pick up trash. Old Garni almost cried when he saw it. "

"Wow"

As soon as the stinky pirate finished speaking, there was the sound of water lapping along with blue waves shining, and the big Duke Hydraxia appeared in front of Blake in the "classic shape" of the water element.

Magatha immediately lowered his head in respect for this huge and powerful elemental creature.

Drek'Thar also bowed to the Elemental Duke.

The Elemental Duke, who came as the messenger of the Tidehunter, ignored the actions of these mortals. It was not that it could not understand, it was just that it was not interested in paying attention to these shamans.

As a truly powerful elemental creature and the adjutant of the Tide Hunter, it can summon seawater to completely submerge this evil cave if it wishes.

But still the same sentence.

Why do it yourself when there are others to help?

It came as a messenger of the Throat of the Abyss, not to work as a coolie for mortals.

The proud and majestic Duke of Water Elemental muttered a few elemental words to his "own man" Blake, then raised his hand and handed him an ancient wooden staff.

That was what His Excellency the Duke found after he personally purified the corrupted elemental servants of the evil Satyr Lord.

Might help with the smelly pirates.

Blake took the wooden staff, set a dim gem on it, and injected magic power into it. Soon, a portal full of natural breath rotated and opened in front of everyone.

The smelly pirate did not walk in immediately, but said to Sera Moonguard:

"Scatter your sisters out to find the undead awakened by the evil satyrs, and send the five greatest khans in Centaur history to sleep again.

You come with me.

We are going to meet the Princess of the Earth. The remaining filth here is left to my Marodi friends. This is their holy place and they have enough power to protect it.

Others are also prepared. This door leads to a fortress of the earth element in the material world. Except for the elemental power, other forces will be suppressed there.

Drek'Thar, Magatha and Ebonhorn's team, Kane, you and your brothers are responsible for protecting them, and it's up to them to do the rest. "

"Um."

With a sense of mission that "everything will end today", Old Cow Kane, Hamuul and Sun Walker guarded the three shamans.

Black and Moonguard were the first to cross the natural portal, followed by the others.

The three old centaur prophets hesitated and followed.

After all, this is their holy land, where their father is buried and their mother lives. It is indeed unreasonable to allow a group of foreigners to walk freely.

Soon, a group of people followed the portal opened by the centaur holy object and successfully entered the lowest level of the Marathon Holy Land. As the Moon Guard said, this place was completely isolated from the cave above.

The heavy power of the earth surrounds this place, making it border on the elemental realm even though it is in the material world.

As soon as everyone came in, they felt heavy pressure, and the pervasive earth elemental power came from under their feet. It was the angry earth roaring, which meant that the owner of the elemental power here had issued a warning.

This is a reflection of the past that carries beautiful memories, a lonely place where the widow misses her husband, and a place where souls are buried without being disturbed.

They are not welcome here!

"It's so beautiful and harmonious here. At least it used to be."

Soul Walker Black Corner looked at the underground space in front of him, which was not dark but bright. It was as beautiful as a legendary scroll.

The white rocks here use strange postures to create twisted shapes that are safe and different from the material world. Under the white rocks, there are hot spring-like waves that turn into underground rivers and pass through this place.

The underground world is lush and green, with all kinds of plants and flowers growing prosperously. It is simply a perfect fusion of earth elements and natural forces.

It seems that Son of Nature Zalta and Princess Theradras have really carefully decorated their "love nest". The scenery here is really no less beautiful than other beautiful places in the material world.

It's a pity that those beautiful things are gone. The more beautiful this place was, the more desolate the ending of this bad relationship is.

"The holy hammer is buzzing."

Black Horn withdrew his gaze and looked at the vibrating Hammer of Kazgoroth in his hand. He said to Black and others:

"Since this holy object drove away Deathwing, it has not shaken as violently as it does today. The power of the earth of creation is hidden here, and there is the core power that leads directly to Deep Rock Continent.

This is where the elemental realms and the material world meet.

Although it is not the most direct and largest passage, it is indeed possible to open the seal of the elemental realm here, but do we really want to do this? "

"Two of the four elemental monarchs have been freed, and they are all related to me."

Blake took out the wine bottle from his waist and said casually:

"If it weren't for the release of the Stone Mother, then it would be meaningless for me to come here today. I promised to make my centaur friends great again, and I also promised my old cow friend to end the disaster in my hometown with his own hands. Eh.

The whole world knows that I am a man of my word.

This is the only advantage I have left.

Besides, the seriously injured Deathwing is hiding in Deep Rock Island to regain his strength. I am the big bad guy on the World Destroyer's must-kill list. I must find a way to save myself.

Look, everyone. "

The stinky pirate took a sip of wine and shrugged his shoulders in a miserable tone as a victim:

"I am also forced to have no choice."

"I admit there is some truth to your logic."

Black Horn couldn't bear it anymore, and the black dragon tauren complained in a low voice:

"But you don't have to be like this in front of us, right? The fact that everyone can come here means that we accept your ideas, and you don't have to find other reasons for your actions.

We have no desire to explore those dark wisdoms.

real.

We don't want to hear it. "

"Our souls can no longer be polluted."

Drek'Thar, who had been very silent, took out a few scrolls and distributed them to the tauren beside him. He also said quietly:

"Keep silent for now, Blake. We've heard and seen too much in the past two days. Give us enough time to digest it, okay?"

"Hey, it's boring."

The stinky pirate snorted and waved his hand, signaling everyone to continue moving forward.

As a result, when they were bypassing the underground river and about to enter the huge rock bridge, the Watcher Moon Guard, who was following Blake and holding the double pyramid tightly, was suddenly stunned for a moment.

She pointed in a direction and whispered to Blake:

"Look there! Captain, that crazy guardian of the jungle, he seems to be recognized by me! That is the grandson of the King of the Forest, the child of Lord Remulos who disappeared a few years ago.

I remember, his name should be Celebras. "

Blake followed the Moon Guard's finger and looked over there. On an island wrapped in water under the stone bridge ahead, there was a strange jungle guardian standing there, walking left and right like a crazy sculpture.

There are also a group of equally weird petite dryads swimming around.

These were supposed to be the legitimate heirs of the King of the Forest, noble creatures that represented the power of nature.

Now they are jumping around like crazy. Their supposedly holy flesh and blood has shown signs of elementalization. Stone armor has grown on their bodies, and even their claws have been petrified.

"They're cursed."

Although Drek'Thar has no eyes to see the world clearly, in this place where elemental power is entrenched, the legendary shaman's perception is strengthened very keenly.

He sniffed the air around him and said to Blake:

"These children of nature have been in the elemental cage for a long time. Their bodies and minds have been invaded by the power of the earth element. They are losing their flesh and blood and transforming into elemental creatures.

This is a very painful process!

But although there was a way to leave, they did not choose to leave. Instead, they endured this curse here. Perhaps these noble creatures who stick to their mission can still be saved? "

"Well, I think there's no hope."

Blake looked at the tall jungle guardian guarding the road in front of him with strange eyes. He rubbed his chin, turned back and whispered to the Moon Guard behind him:

"I've actually always had a doubt. Do you think the spirit of revenge must be made by a woman or a humanoid creature?"

"???"

Sera Moon Guard, who was already ready for battle, was stunned.

She glanced at the tall and majestic jungle guardian in front of her, then looked back at Blake, and asked in a stunned tone:

"Even if my mind is opened up by the void, I can't keep up with your creepy 'fantastic ideas'. Tell me honestly, what are you going to do?"

"I just wanted to try it."

Blake flexed his fingers and said:

"You think, every Watcher's Spirit of Vengeance is exactly the same, wouldn't it be boring? Since I must have a Spirit of Vengeance of my own, why can't I try something more interesting?

Compared to a frail lady, I think having such a powerful deer by my side may make me feel safer. "

"But he's the keeper of the jungle!"

Yue Wei said with rare excitement:

"He is not a Watcher. He does not know the Warden combat skills. Making him a Vengeful Spirit will not increase your combat effectiveness. It will also occupy a precious soul slot.

And, this is completely untraditional!

If you use this noble and powerful soul, you will be hostile to the King of the Forest and all his descendants. Even the Kaldorei elves will despise you, curse you and even hate you. "

"Don't say this, this is something I need to think about."

Blake waved his fingers and said:

"All you have to do is tell me, is it possible for such an attempt to succeed?"

"Well"

Yue Wei was asked.

Her experience was completely insufficient to deal with this problem and this kind of evil thinking. After a few seconds, she said hesitantly:

"Maybe. Maybe? But I really don't recommend it."

"It would be nice to have your answer."

Black whistled and originally planned to complete an armed parade in Marathon. He moved his arms without intending to fight at all. Salamani was sent out of the bag and split into a pair of black and white swords in an instant.

The stinky pirate stretched his neck, raised the Wolf's Edge and whistled again, summoning his bear, wolf, and precious egg falcon.

Miss Black Crow flapped her wings indifferently and flew out, not intending to pay attention to the smelly pirate.

But Blake didn't care either.

Surrounded by two soul beasts, he turned back to the group and said:

"You go first, don't wait for me. I'll go do some personal things and I'll come back later. Is anyone willing to take the initiative to help? I promised you in advance that there may be some very exciting and evil scenes next.

Oh, don't leave!

I'm not done yet!

Hello! Heijiao, what do you mean by covering your ears? And you, Kane! We're friends, right? Why don't you learn from them? I'm really not as evil as they say.

Just listen to my excuses!

I just really want to end the pain of his curse. "

No matter how Black explained later, the group of people in front of him quickly left here with the attitude of "out of sight, out of mind", leaving only a stinky pirate with a helpless look on his face.

"Oh, this indifferent world is really full of malice towards me."

The stinky pirate sighed, then turned to the two soul beasts beside him and said:

"But it's okay, I still have you."

"If possible, I don't want to come. You can do such bad things alone but you have to bring us together. You have to make us as evil as you.

Be clear in advance, my evil master.

If the king of the forest suddenly comes and kills me, I will definitely turn around and run away. "

Frostpaw stuck out her tongue and spoke.

"Me too."

Dajiao covered his eyes with his paws and said angrily:

"Usok will definitely beat me if he knows what happened today."

"Hey, stop talking nonsense! Do whatever I ask you to do."

The stinking pirate raised his war spear, kicked Frostclaw, and shouted:

"rush!"
