Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Huh? What's going on? The demon hasn't invaded Qinglong Temple yet, why did Yulong Tianzun suddenly appear?"

In the Qinglong Temple, which was now fully prepared for war, Blake, who was leading a group of hozens that sneaked in from the side to rob, suddenly raised his head.

He saw the sapphire holy beast flying in the clouds, and the mighty power belonging to the Supreme God made even the smelly pirates tremble.

He picked up the gorgeous sacrifices offered to Yulong Tianzun in front of him and threw them into his luggage, and then kicked the hozen Kenken beside him who was eating the sacrifice cakes.

He threw a bag of money to the new loser and scolded:

"Go! Hurry up, gather your tribesmen, and escape through the dog hole we slipped in. Don't stop robbing. Yulong Tianzun has appeared.

We don't have much time left.

If they don't want to leave, just leave them alone. The monks who uphold the virtue of living a good life will not kill them anyway. At most, they will capture them and do hard labor, and they will be fed and housed. It is a good thing.

After escaping, remember to wait for me to meet at the beach of Mi Feng Orchard. You are not allowed to run around or rob homes. When you are hungry, go to the pandas and spend money to buy food.

If you dare to cause trouble, I won't care about you. "

"Ouch"

The hozen, which had delicious pastries stuffed in its mouth, nodded vigorously. It took something from its waist and stuffed it into Blake's hand, and gave him a fawning smile as he scratched his head.

Then he wore a beautiful training uniform that he had stolen from someone's monk's room, grabbed his spear, and skipped out with his tail swung.

The posture of wearing clothes at an angle and wearing a hat at an angle perfectly interprets what is meant by "monkey wearing a crown".

The pirate lowered his head and glanced at what the hozen had given him, and found that it was a rough "Ghostface" mask with a hint of a mocking smile. It was made of bamboo and was very light.

"Hey, the hozen mask is a good thing."

Blake grinned and put the weird black and white mask on his face. Although this thing is crudely made, it is still a piece of equipment with attributes, and its entry is also very interesting:

Name: Hozen Mask

Quality: No-grade rare item [gift from the hozen]

Effect:

1. Wear a mask to show the friendship of hozens, increase the goodwill of other hozens towards you, and reduce the probability of them insulting and attacking you.

2. Substantiate inner negative emotions.

Note that this mask is of low grade and cannot materialize many emotions. It can only project the appearance of the mask.

Item description:

You, the lucky ghost, got a mask carefully made by the naughty hozen. This means that you have won its goodwill and "loyalty". Cherish it, because not everyone can have a hozen friend.

"Hey, this mask is kind of interesting. It's not a magic item, but it has the same strange effects as a magic item. How did these monkeys do it?"

Xal'atath asked in surprise.

Blake, who was wearing a hozen mask, curled his lips and said:

“It’s all talent, no skill.

I don’t know what hozens do to make such magical masks, but they just do it. It’s like men are born to be in heat with women, it’s the kind of thing that can’t be explained. "

Indeed, mask making is a traditional skill of the hozens.

They are the only ones in the world who can make this kind of unique bamboo mask, and it is amazing that the short-lived hozens can pass down the mask-making skills from generation to generation despite being unable to maintain their own civilization.

Hozens treasure the masks they make by themselves, and they would never give their masks to strangers.

The hozens most likely don't know that the masks they make can materialize the negative emotions in their hearts, but this is probably one of the important reasons why the cheerful and funny hozens are not afraid of the power of darkness.

However, it is said that in ancient legends, His Majesty Shaohao, the last emperor of Pandaria, used the grimace mask made by his close comrade, the demigod Monkey King of Hozen, to eradicate the ancient evil in this land.

Now that the hozen is willing to give the mask he made to the bad boss Black, it means that this cunning hozen has dedicated his loyalty to the pirates.

Of course, if the pirates treat him badly, Kenken will not hesitate for a second to betray him.

"Let's go, it seems that there are smart people among the monks in Qinglong Temple. They saw through my plan and used a trick to eliminate the firepower, and the effect of the demon's appearance was suddenly reduced to the extreme.

I have to finish my work here quickly and apply oil on the soles of my feet to avoid being chased by Yulong.

In my current state, being targeted by it will only lead to death. This feeling of dancing on the tip of a knife is really fascinating. "

Blake, wearing a mask, sprang out of the Yulong Temple with light steps. He hid in the shadows and walked quickly, sensing the battle outside the temple.

The sudden appearance of the Supreme God obviously hated the demon full of destruction. When it appeared, it gave its pure power to the monks of Qinglong Temple, which made the round counterattack extremely deadly.

The Ereda twins who appeared as leaders have also been blocked by Yulong Tianzun personally. Because of the relationship between the twins, these two female demons have demigod-level destructive power when facing enemies at the same time. Bullying some weak demigods is no problem.

But what they are facing now is one of the most powerful demigods in all of Azeroth.

Even though Yulong Tianzun has entered his twilight years in this life and his strength has dropped a lot, he is still not something that the two female demons can humiliate.

To be honest, the eredar twins should be grateful that Black chose the Temple of the Azure Dragon instead of the Temple of the White Tiger in Kun-Lai Summit to lure them into a trap.

Compared to the Eastern Azure Dragon, which is in charge of kindness and wisdom, the white tiger holy beast Xuen, who sits in the north of Pandaria, is in charge of the most advanced power of destruction and killing.

If it was White Tiger Xuenu who appeared here at this time, these two female demons would probably be killed instantly if they met each other.

But Yulong's appearance was enough for them to drink a pot.

In terms of absolute strength, Yulong's opponents should be big demons like deceivers, polluters and destroyers. Although the eredar twins are recognized potential stars by the legion, they can barely match the demigods in joint operations, but they are obviously far away from higher levels. Still a little short of that.

"boom"

Blake found the door leading to the side courtyard in Qinglong Temple with ease, opened the lock with a simple squeeze, kicked open the courtyard door and walked in.

As a result, they saw a group of humans gathering together with brooms and shovels in their hands, excited to go out and help the pandas fight the demons.

They all wore Pandaren-style clothes, and there were no signs of abuse on their bodies. If you look carefully, you can see that each of these guys has been raised to be fat and strong.

At first glance, you can tell that they have been treated with care.

There are no handcuffs or shackles at all. It is not the treatment of a prisoner at all.

But judging from the facial features of these guys, the scars on their bodies, and the indelible military aura, they should be Kul Tiran sailors who accidentally broke into the continent of Pandaria and were captured by the pandas.

"Report your rank! Soldier!"

Blake rushed in and shouted angrily.

His shouts, which had a standard Boralus accent and deliberately imitated the majestic tone of the fleet commander, made the noisy sailors in front of him immediately stand upright as if by conditioned reflex.

The bald middle-aged man with the strongest build and holding a manure fork in his hand answered loudly:

"Captain Duncan of the Kul Tiran Second Fleet's vanguard battleship Stormsong salutes you, sir, we... huh? Wait, who are you?"

The sailors quickly discovered something was wrong. Without Captain Duncan's order, a group of sailors holding various "weapons" surrounded Blake.

But the pirate didn't care. He reached into his bag and took out Lady Catherine's personal seal, and looked at it to the captain through the light shining in the sky.

He lowered his voice and said:

"I am a member of the Uncrowned Ones, ordered by Lady Catherine Proudmoore to come to the Misty Continent to search for you missing sailors.

Lady Catherine believed that the glorious warriors of Kul Tiran would not die so quietly.

Facts have proved that Madam's judgment was correct.

I finally found you.

But what is going on now? Why do demons attack pandaren temples? Why are you hanging out with the Pandaren here?

Are there only so many people here?

Where did everyone else go? "

When Captain Duncan saw Lady Catherine's seal, he immediately stood in awe and gave Black a military salute.

He waved his hand, glanced at the courtyard door that Blake had opened, and signaled others to go out to help the pandas fight against the demons. After the sailors quickly left, Duncan whispered to Blake:

"Your Majesty the Envoy, the situation is very complicated and I cannot explain it clearly to you at the moment.

After we were ambushed by the Corrupted Sea Sage and the Bloodsail Pirates, the Second Fleet suffered heavy damage, but perhaps it was fate that favored us. In desperation, we sailed into the fog in an attempt to avoid pursuit, but accidentally entered this magical land.

However, when passing through the fog, the three ships with the Stormsong encountered a reef and sank and were separated from the others. After we came ashore, we were chased by hozens and almost died on the coast.

It was the local panda people who saved us.

They prohibit us from moving freely in the Emerald Forest, which is said to be an order from their gods. But to be honest, these pandas are not bad and treat us well.

Not only did they provide us with delicious food, they even gave us fine wine to drink, which tasted really good. "

Captain Duncan touched his bald head, licked his lips and said:

"We have reached an agreement with the priests of this sacred temple. We will stay here peacefully, and the pandas will send us back to our hometown at the right time.

So you don't have to worry about our safety, it's just what happened to other companions that worries me.

I heard from the local pandaren that they seemed to be heading further north to Kun-Lai Summit, pursuing the fallen sea sages and pirates who entered this continent with us."

"etc!"

Blake interrupted Captain Duncan's description with a wave of his hand and asked:

"The Corrupted Sea Sage and the Blood Sail Pirates also came in?"

"Well, there are quite a few people."

Duncan said worriedly:

"Those bastards who should have been swallowed by the tide were commanded by the former high-ranking sea sage Shanaishi. They could have defeated us in the fog, but they suddenly changed their goals and gave up on us and sailed into the fog.

According to the information we obtained after interrogating Haixian, whom we captured after landing, it is said that the evil Shanaishi sensed a powerful force in the Misty Continent.

Their evil god decrees that they must find it.

Your Excellency, the messenger, during this period of time spent with the Pandaren, I discovered that these hospitable locals are very wary of war and evil. They have been at peace for 10,000 years.

I even forgot how to fight

I'm terrified that they might be defeated by the darkness we bring. "

"Um?"

Black looked at the Kul Tiras captain in front of him with strange eyes and said:

"You, a veteran who has been fighting all his life, actually think about the future of the panda people? Did you eat too much during this period and change your temper?"

"Well, I'm telling you the truth, Your Excellency."

Bald Duncan felt embarrassed and took out a green dragon emblem from his arms. He whispered:

"I used to be a believer in the Church of Storms. After my faith was broken, I was confused for a time. Perhaps fate guided me to Pandaria and met the Azure Dragon Priests.

Now, I am already a follower of Yulong Tianzun.

Her kind and wise teachings warmed my darkened heart and restored my hope.

I am still loyal to Kul Tiras, but I have made up my mind to follow the path of the Azure Dragon. In a few days, I will become an ordained monk of the Azure Dragon Temple.

Not just me, many companions have joined the path of kindness. "

"Okay, this is your own choice, I won't interfere."

Blake glanced at the bald man in front of him with twitching eyes, and he shook his head and said:

"Now that you have made your decision, just wait here with peace of mind. Perhaps official personnel from Kul Tiras will come here soon. This fog may soon dissipate, and this continent will be reintegrated into the world.

As for the remaining warriors of the Second Fleet and the cultists who entered Pandaria, I will take care of it.

So be it.

Tonight's meeting must be kept strictly confidential. I also shoulder an important mission from the royal family, which is related to the Admiral's vision of conquering the sea. "

"yes."

Duncan nodded seriously and promised:

"I swear in the name of Qinglong that I will keep this conversation confidential."

As he watched, Black took a step back and disappeared into the shadows. The bald man also rushed out of the side yard with a dung fork and ran to support the pandas in their battle with the demons.

In fact, no support is needed.

Under the leadership of Yulong Tianzun himself, the highly motivated Gunguns pushed the demons back to the several portals they opened, and then completely destroyed those portals under the collective breath of the cloud dragons. Destroyed.

The demons were already defeated before they could even develop their numerical superiority.

"No wonder the local pandaren monks are so anxious to find outsiders. It seems that the followers of N'Zoth are searching for traces of the Heart of Darkness in Pandaria without hiding it from the Supreme God.

This matter is a bit troublesome. "

As Blake slipped out of Qinglong Temple, he said to Xalatath:

"Those guys entered Pandaria more than two months ago. Who knows how far they have advanced now. I thought that the Heart of Darkness was my exclusive treasure, but I didn't expect that a treasure hunter would appear on the way. Come.

I'll just say it.

N'Zoth has been a little too low-key in recent times. It turns out that it is secretly advancing this matter, and it is also eager to obtain the dark heart of Y'Shaarj. "

"It's a beautiful idea!"

Xal'atath said fiercely:

"The power of Y'Shaarj belongs to me and my little master. No one can take it away! Anyone who dares to reach out will have his paws chopped off!"

"Yeah, that's right."

Blake also nodded and said:

“We have to move quickly and remove Pandaria’s fog barrier first, but before that, I have to ‘enjoy’ the fish trophies I worked so hard to catch.

Well, look!

They are running separately.

Hoof sister is hoof sister. Look at that little tail waving up and running away. It’s so cute. "
