Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"boom"

The semi-elemental jungle guardian was entangled by three war beasts. He went crazy and lost his mind and did not realize the real danger. He trampled forward like a war horse attacking, and called for the rocky vines to sweep around.

His fighting posture was extremely powerful, and Black's war beasts were unable to do anything to him for a while.

However, the forest sisters beside him who were also cursed by the power of the earth element have been defeated one after another. These petite dryads attacked forward with their petrified war spears, but were attacked from behind by Black.

The wolf's sharp edge continued to fall, and the Salamani sisters' surprise kills knocked down these cursed ones in less than a minute.

They are hopeless.

For flesh and blood, the severe pain of elemental infection will not only bring incurable diseases to the body, but also affect their spirit.

After their bodies were crushed, the painful souls of the dryads appeared before the pirates.

They were wailing and seemed to have regained some sense. Each one of them looked at Blake with longing eyes, begging the outsider to help them end their eternal pain.

I have to say that the posture of the tree demon is still very cute.

Combining the slender upper body of a night elf and the bouncing lower body of a deer, in addition to being very cute in appearance, as the daughters of the King of the Forest, dryads are also lively and innocent in nature.

They are real forest elves, and it is rare to hear of dryads actively doing bad things.

This would be stared at by these growling tree demons with their big eyes. Even though Black was so evil, he hesitated a little to swing the war spear.

"Hey, are they still alive?"

The stinky pirate turned around and shouted to Hisari Black Crow.

The latter was tearing apart the thorn-covered armor of the jungle guardian with his claws. After hearing Blake's inquiry, the Raptor Druid turned on the spot and landed next to Blake with a whoosh.

She no longer concealed herself and transformed into the body of a night elf, calling on the suppressed natural power here to communicate with the painful tree demon soul.

Blake changed his target and appeared behind the fallen jungle watcher in the form of a shadow strike. He struck forward with an eagle strike and fired more than a dozen shots, triggering a divine blast and instantly breaking through the enemy's defense.

The subsequent piercings of the black and white swords finally left wounds on the legendary formidable enemy, and Xiong Xiong and Wolf Wolf were ordered to enter wild and violent postures, pounced forward with angry life force.

With the support of the pack leader, it only took them a minute to knock the cursed guardian of the jungle to the ground.

The latter was much stronger than his dryad sisters. After his front hooves were broken, he fell to the ground and struggled to swing the thorn-wrapped war spear in his left hand to fight back at the pirates. However, the latter swung the wolf's edge and raised the knife with his hand. Broken arm.

It wasn't that easy originally.

These guys look very similar to centaurs, but are like a combination of elves and stags, with antlers on their heads. They are wilderness raiders and melee fighters in the natural camp that have the power of body.

They directly inherited the noble bloodline of the King of the Forest. They were famous for their rough skin and thick flesh. They were also born with the highest level of self-healing and affinity with nature. They were quite difficult opponents.

However, poor Lord Celebras has been destroyed by the elemental curse, and Black has the power of the void that can corrupt the elements. Rounding it all off, he is basically a natural enemy.

"I advise you not to move."

The pirate used the sharp and ferocious spear tip of the Alpha Wolf's Edge to hold the frantic guardian struggling at his feet. Big Horn also used a bear to sit on the guy, preventing him from getting up smoothly.

At the same time, Miss Black Crow also finished her conversation with the Dryad sisters. The Druid stood up, deliberately not looking at Black, turned his head and said to him:

"I asked, and the dryads told me that if they could be taken back to Moonglade, perhaps their great father, Lord Remulos, could return their tortured souls to the natural forest.

But Lord Celebras may be hopeless.

He took the initiative to bear too much earth element corrosion for his sisters, which made him unable to look back. "

"Then leave it to you."

Black threw out a few fine blank soul stones and said to Hisari Black Crow:

"You are an archdruid, and it is your bounden duty to save natural creatures. We will go to the Moonlight Grove later, and we are on the way, so take them with us."

After saying that, the pirate took a step back, and the flying Salamani sisters cheered. The black and white stream of light pierced forward. In the flash of cutting light, the neck of the jungle guardian in front of him was quickly cut off.

The moment his elemental body died, his soul was also freed from the curse and appeared in front of the pirates in an illusory form.

Sure enough, it was hopeless.

The souls have been distorted by the elemental curse. They no longer have the majestic and noble posture of the jungle guardian, but instead show a chaotic and cumbersome look that has been deeply corrupted.

He seems to know this too,

Therefore, when the soul appeared, he took advantage of this little waking time and tried to express his gratitude to Blake who had given him relief.

He said to the pirate in a tired and hoarse tone:

"Thank you, outsider, for ending my pain. Please bring my sisters back to my hometown. Please say goodbye to my father for me. I have failed to live up to his expectations.

I failed in my mission. "

"Are you here to save Zaltar?"

Blake raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Is it the order from his brother Remulos? Or does it come from your grandfather, Lord Cenarius? The King of the Forest has always known what happened in Desolace, right?"

"neither."

The tall jungle guardian soul in front of him shook his head and explained:

"What happened to Uncle Zarta is the eternal pain and regret in the hearts of my father and grandfather.

None of them gave us orders. I voluntarily brought my sisters to this desolate land, just hoping that my uncle's soul could find peace.

But we underestimated the difficulty of this matter and were overconfident, which led to our tragedy.

What you hold in your hand is my staff, the source of my power. The staff blessed by the King of the Forest can protect our souls in this elemental land.

But unfortunately, it was stolen by a satyr not long ago.

Without our shelter, the situation deteriorated rapidly. "

The cursed Celebras sighed. He looked at the souls of his suffering sisters who were being absorbed by Miss Black Crow with soul stones. He whispered:

"It was my arrogance and self-confidence that harmed them. These pure children should not suffer such a fate. Please send them back to their hometown so that my soul can rest in peace in this cursed place."

"You're such a familiar guardian of the jungle."

Blake pouted and said:

"I don't know how you children of nature get along, but in the outside world, there are rules when asking for help. You have to pay me or give me a gift.

You may not know this, but we came to the depths of Marathon to rescue your romantic uncle Zaltar.

He is the biological son of Cenarius, and his power is much stronger than yours. If you can persist until now, then I think his soul has not dissipated yet, right? "

"You want to save my uncle?"

The jungle guardian who looked desperate just now suddenly raised his head, his spiritual eyes glowed with hope, and he said anxiously:

"He's still here!

I could feel the evil Earth Princess imprisoning his soul, drawing the life force of Desolation into a cage that trapped my uncle's soul in his tomb.

You just need to defeat the Earth Princess and my uncle will be free. "

"Hey, you rude guy!"

Blake scolded:

"First of all, the evil Earth Princess you call is your uncle's true love wife, so you should call her aunt! Secondly, I don't think Zalta's soul is imprisoned by Princess Theradras.

Maybe they were playing the game of 'unresolved love between man and ghost'.

And you have to know that this is the family your uncle is actively pursuing.

Princess Theradras was just a girl who ran away from home thousands of years ago. She was not deeply involved in the world, so if she really wants to be evil, then it should be your uncle who is evil.

Your values ​​are really twisted. "

The cursed Celebras had a dull face now. He didn't know how to respond to Blake's "righteous" scolding, so he could only reply:

"Okay, okay, you are right, we were wrong.

But my uncle really can still be saved. As a blood descendant of my grandfather, the power of nature has blessed him. Even after his body dies, he can be resurrected as a seed of life.

I'm hopeless.

But I think my uncle's return should be able to appease my father's grieving heart, so please, outsider, please help us. As for reward, I have nothing to give you. My scepter is already in your hand. "

"Oh, don't cry about poverty like that."

The stinky pirate waved his hand. He looked up and down at the fallen soul that was about to be swallowed up by the elemental power. He liked the majestic appearance of this jungle guardian very much.

He rubbed his chin and said:

"If I leave it alone, for at most one day, you will be assimilated into a brainless monster by the power of the elements here. You have been deeply infected by the elements, and you will no longer be able to leave this land of earth elements.

You are indeed hopeless, and what awaits you is an extremely tragic fate, but perhaps, I can give you a decent end.

Have you heard of the vengeful spirits of the Watchers? "

The cursed Celebras certainly knew about the existence of the Spirit of Vengeance, and he quickly realized what Black meant. He hesitated and glanced at his spirit body that was being eroded by the elements.

This is a choice between a painful death and a clean death. Choosing the latter can preserve a little dignity.

"I do!"

The jungle guardian gritted his teeth and said:

"But you must rescue my uncle, my mission must be completed!"

"make a deal."

The pirate raised his hand and said to Celebras:

"The spirit of revenge will retain the most basic sanity to obey the instructions, so although you are no longer you, you can still use your own eyes to see how I fulfill my promise.

If you think about it a little bit, at least you don't have to bury your bones here alone in such misery.

Do you want me to give you some time to leave some information for your family?

When I go to Moonglade later, I can give your uncle's Seed of Life and your letter to your father along the way. I can also explain the situation to prevent them from misunderstanding me.

I am a savior, not a murderer. "

"Give me a piece of wood, or give me my scepter."

Jungle Keeper Spirit says:

"I will record my last will on it. Although I don't like your bargaining, outsider, I do want to thank you."

——

Nearly half an hour later, the satisfied Black led his war beasts to the deepest part of the earth element land and joined his accomplices.

He already has one more processed soul stone in his hand, and the soul of the cursed Celebras is lying peacefully inside. After he leaves and completes the subsequent processing under the moonlight of the dark night, he will have one more The mighty spirit of vengeance.

Miss Black Crow also seems to have initially reconciled with the pirates.

She squatted on the pirate's shoulders in the form of a falcon. In her luggage were the souls of the dryads, and she wanted to send these souls back to her hometown with her own hands.

"Why are you all staying here? You look like you've seen a ghost?"

Blake looked at the group of people hiding in the corner above the stone bridge in surprise. He said in a stunned tone:

"The Tomb of Zaltar is down there, and so is the Earth Princess. You should go and fight."

"Well"

Soul Walker Black Horn raised his head, showing a complicated expression.

He pointed down and said:

“Ever since I heard about the love story between Zaltar and Princess Theradras, I have been imagining how beautiful this princess must be who can enchant the son of nature.

I believe other people also have such imagination and curiosity, but after I saw the honor of Princess Theradras with my own eyes, I felt that I was blind.

I am now trying hard to adjust my traumatized mind, and I want to forget what I saw. "

Others agreed very much with Black Horn's summary. Even Magatha Horrible Totem covered his eyes and looked frightened.

Drek'Thar is the calmest of them all.

He has long been blind.

He couldn't see Princess Theradras's "beauty", so naturally he wouldn't be scared.

Blake stood in the corner where everyone was hiding, looked down, and soon saw the Tomb of Zalta on the isolated island at the end of the underground lake.

A huge and beautiful antler is inserted on a tomb made of white stone. The shape and size of the antler already represent Zalta's identity.

Except for the direct bloodline of the King of the Forest, no one can grow such majestic and shining antlers.

But outside the tomb, a huge stone creature was sitting cross-legged, sobbing, and her low cries echoed like thunder.

Revealing a mighty and domineering attitude, like Zhang Fei.

And her appearance

"Ooooooo"

Frostclaw, the big wolf that poked its head out with Blake, let out a horrified cry, and even this beast was frightened by the appearance of Her Royal Highness.

The Earth Princess is about ten meters tall, and her every move can shake the earth.

Its round and strong body should be perfect according to the aesthetics of an ogre, and the green-faced, fanged face is shaped using an unknown template, and its fangs are piercing to make people fearful.

If you look carefully, you can see that it is somewhat similar to the face of a wild boar man.

The green eyes are filled with sadness and confusion. The most terrible thing is that there are three faces that can scare a child into crying! They are arranged on three sides of her head, and she has four thick and powerful arms.

His brown vine-like hair was flying in a mess. If you looked at him casually, he looked similar to Mang Zhangfei.

"Ouch?"

Miss Hisari Black Crow, who was standing on the pirate's shoulders, was still sulking, but she was shocked by the appearance of the earth princess, and the feathers on her neck exploded.

She didn't even care about getting into trouble with the stinky pirates, and asked in shock during the soul connection:

"Is Zarta, the son of the King of the Forest, blind? Why does he think such an earth princess is beautiful? Does he...do he have any special quirks?"

Blake, who always liked to joke about hell, was very silent this time.

After a few seconds, he whispered:

“She was originally very beautiful, but the pain of grief and loss shaped her into what she is now.

I saw that beneath that ferocious body was a broken, lonely and desperate soul.

I think that probably after losing her lover, this princess also sealed up her beauty. If the love you love is not there, what's the point of looking beautiful?

Now I believe that Zaltar and Theradras are in true love.

Let's go.

Let's end her suffering. "
