Shadow Trails in Azeroth

"Don't take your books with you. Leave them here. The Shado-Pan monks abide by the ancient precepts. They respect knowledge and wisdom very much and will not destroy your books."

In the study of Huangliang Pavilion, Blake was sitting on a bookshelf with his legs dangling, holding an apple in his hand, and said to Zhou Zhuo who was collecting things below and preparing to run away:

"Bring some important items, not too many, and don't leave out anything useful. This is the first rule of escape. You must be bold and careful."

"Hey, it sounds like you have a lot of experience being hunted."

Zhou Zhuo was "framed" by Blake and now he could only follow him. He felt very unhappy and sarcastically said:

"This doesn't seem to be consistent with the greatness and power described in your blue dragon friend's book? Have you ever been chased by someone like a mouse and run away like a mouse?"

"Yes, many times."

Blake didn't care about the sarcasm in Lao Zhou's words.

He was in a good mood. While eating an apple, he crossed his legs and said:

"When I was just starting out, I was chased by orcs and bronze dragons. Later, I was chased by the undead and escaped through most of the endless sea. I felt that I was more powerful. I was wanted by the elves again, and I got into trouble with the most powerful among the elves. Shadow Guard.

It's not my fault.

The strength of those female wolves is completely comparable to that of the Shado-Pan warriors. Of course, those of us outside are not as reckless as you Pandaren who pursue the ultimate in skills. What we focus on is easy to use simple power.

But it’s not a bad thing that I’m being chased around by them. "

Having said this, the stinky pirate proudly stretched out his thumb and pointed at himself, and said to Zhou Zhuo in a long voice:

“The bronze dragon that pursued me is now my little lover, and the leader of the Elven Watchers who pursued me, one of the most beautiful ladies in the world, has committed herself to me.

So, from an empirical point of view, if all the Shado-Pan came out to catch me, I think it would not be a bad thing. Speaking of which, Lao Zhou, have you ever tasted the wonderful taste of love?

You seem to have been single? "

"The Lorewalkers care not for the entanglements of love."

Zhou Zhuo snorted, with a literati style, stroking his beard and said slowly:

“We are all spiritual prodigals, like birds without claws, we will not stop for anyone. Traveling every step of the world, seeing different scenery, and looking for endless wisdom is what we want in life.

certainly

My father made a marriage arrangement for me when I was a teenager. The other party is the eldest lady of a certain wine fairy family. I made an appointment with her. After I have satisfied my inner desire to explore the world, I will return. Go to the Emerald Forest to marry her.

Although we Pandaren are not as long-lived as the legendary elves, it is still easy to live for hundreds of years. I am only in my forties this year, and I have plenty of time to realize my ideals.

I can also spend the rest of my life living a happy life with my lover.

As for you.

A scoundrel like you needs to hurry up and give birth to a baby.

I think with the way you behave, you probably won't live to see the end of your life. "

"Hey, hey, hey, isn't such a curse too vicious?"

Blake threw the core in his hand and hit Zhou Zhuo's delicate nose accurately, causing the traveler to let out a cry of pain, holding his nose and retreating, and the letters in his hand fell to the ground.

He was about to scold, but his mouth was covered by Blake who suddenly appeared behind him.

The pirate made a gesture to silence Zhou Zhuo, pointed outside the window, and whispered:

"Shh, someone's coming in."

"Um?"

Lao Zhou covered his mouth and looked over there, seeing nothing but peach blossoms scattered in the air. He blinked in confusion, but heard Blake say to him:

"You continue to pack your things. I have prepared a suitcase for you in the past few months. This is a standard gift for new members of the undead pirates. They are enough for you to store your precious books.

But you'd better act fast.

I'll go outside and play with that 'red panda', and we'll leave tonight! "

"Where to go?"

Lao Zhou asked, and Blake pointed to the northwest, but did not say the specific location.

He disappeared into the shadow of the study, leaving only Zhou Zhuo alone. Pandaren Lorewalker was a little scared. After all, it was the first time for him to do such a "traditional" bad thing.

He was even more worried about whether the stinky pirates would attack too hard and hurt the righteous knights of the Shado-Pan.

On the other side, Blake stood agilely on the peach branch in the center of Huangliang Pavilion, hiding in the shadows as if he were weightless, feeling the rhythm of the shadows below.

It was an inaudible vibration, like the ripples of a spider web blown by the wind. An assassin would never feel the magnitude of the shadow surge here.

This proves that the visitor is a very powerful stalker, and his ability to perceive and manipulate shadows has even surpassed 90% of the assassins outside the fog.

Even among the uncrowned assassins that Black is proud of, he can definitely be ranked as a master.

In real comparison, the stealth skills of the assassin who entered Huangliang Pavilion and Garona are almost the same. Of course, as a panda, her desire to attack is definitely not as strong as the wild female orc.

But it is indeed very good.

Even by the pickiest standards of the stinky pirates, the female Pandaren assassin who sneaked into Huangliang Pavilion in front of her was already a person who had reached the pinnacle of the path of shadow.

pity

Black is the void predator spider entrenched in the center of this "shadow spider web". The rhythm of any place in the large web made of shadow cannot be hidden from his perception.

He could even outline the outline of the stalker's body through the looming waves when the shadow was blown by the wind.

A petite female panda assassin.

Wearing the standard uniform of the Shado-Pan, with a black and red hat and a black mask, she also has big braids tied together, and two unique weapons that only the pandas can use are inserted around her waist.

It's called a hand fork.

Or to put it more artistically, water-splitting.

This is a weapon that is very similar to a short sword, but has no edge and relies solely on piercing to cause damage.

It is much lighter than a dagger, meaning the attack is very fast.

It is very deadly and can stab the enemy with several bloody holes in an instant, but it is difficult to use it well, especially the balance between attack speed, accuracy and damage.

Even among the pandaren who value extreme skills, only those who are very confident in their own skills will use such weapons.

As Blake watched from the tree branch, the panda assassin girl carefully searched for the most suitable position for her to carry out concealed investigation in Huangliang Pavilion.

Her black and white eyes looked left and right. She needed a position where she could observe the entire courtyard without being easily spotted.

Soon, she found the perfect target.

On the large peach tree in the center of the courtyard, the leaves stripped off by the wind fell to the ground. Its branches were thick enough to hide the Pandaren assassin.

She doesn't have to hide here for long either.

The message has been sent. With the Shado-Pan's operational efficiency and the super-fast flight speed of the specially tamed black Xianglong, Master Zhu will arrive here with the masters at midnight at the latest.

She just needs to ensure that the "bad boss" and the bewitched Zhou Zhuo don't leave here before midnight.

The female panda assassin swung her silent flying claws under the tree. Her movements were dexterous and did not make a single sound. She only blew away a few fallen leaves as she rose into the air.

She stood firmly on the tree trunk with her padded feet and began to move forward like an agile monkey.

Everything is perfect.

That's it! Tao Ya, come on!

Practice your craft with every move!

Soon, you can also pass the Shadow Trace Trial and become a Shadow Dance Master!

This is the ideal and oath you have made since you were a child, and it is the ultimate pursuit of every guardian who walks the path of shadow.

As the panda girl moved forward, she silently cheered herself up in her heart.

She seems to have a cold personality in front of outsiders, but this is not because she is naturally aloof, but because she has not been very good at dealing with others since she was a child.

But she thought this was not bad.

Just tell yourself some words, and as for others, just use your perfect task completion rate and powerful skills to conquer them!

"Hey, there are already people here. Find another place and don't squeeze in with me. I don't like strange girls getting too close to me.

Especially the furry ones. "

Just when Tao Ya was about to move to the perfect reconnaissance point she had chosen, she suddenly heard a teasing voice coming from the shadows in front of her.

It's Pandaren, and it has a very standard accent of an old farmer from the middle of the mountains.

but.

"Shua"

In shock, Tao Ya grabbed the water-splitting thorn at his waist like a lightning reflex, and while rotating his wrist, he stabbed the opponent in front of him like two dragons out of the sea.

This attack caused the shadow covering her body to float away, and her figure emerged from the shadow like black smoke entangling and pulling.

It's just that the attacks that were sure to hit at such a close range actually hit the target at the same time!

The guy hiding in the shadows in front of him was like a ghost, nimbly dodging the piercing fork in a completely impossible manner.

The most outrageous thing is that even under attack, the opponent still did not emerge from the shadow!

Tao Ya, the best stealth warrior of the Shado-Pan, felt the pressure instantly.

But she did not retreat. Instead, she held her forks as if dancing, chasing the "bad boss" who was hiding in the shadow in front of her on the slender peach branches.

"You should be faster."

Blake backed away and taunted:

"Wow, this move is powerful. It's like a tiger-shaped fist, but when you hit it, it's like a cat-shaped fist. It has no deterrent effect. This won't work."

"Buzz"

The sharp fork of the hand pierced forward and brought up the rotating wind. It was obvious that Tao Ya had used the mysterious Qi that the Pandaren monks had mastered to add "magic damage" to the simple physical attack.

However, the zhenqi blade pierced from the weapon was still unable to hit the jumping shadow ghost in front of him. Instead, the branches of the peach tree continued to rise and fall because of the two people's constant pulling back and forth.

Large swathes of pink peach blossoms shook off in the wind, and then surrounded the two of them under the attack of Tao Ya's controlled infuriating energy.

Since Blake couldn't be seen, it was like Taoya was practicing his skills alone on the peach tree.

Having maintained strict training all year round, she is as agile as a cat and as aggressive as a bear, full of a beauty that combines flexibility and strength.

And the little fox-like tail that keeps beating with the attack gives this Pandaren assassin an even more "cute" feeling, which will probably make the eyes of some weird XP guys shine.

Not to mention the internal reasons for this scene, the external performance alone is very beautiful and heroic. Except for the fact that Tao Ya can't touch the opponent's body no matter how hard he tries, the visual special effects are simply full.

So handsome.

The little sister practicing martial arts!

However, such a high-intensity attack cannot last for too long, and even a legendary assassin like Tao Ya cannot maintain a violent offensive all the time.

More importantly, the more she fought, the more frightened she became.

The opponent has been dodging until now, and has not even launched a counterattack, but she has almost exhausted all her cards. What's worse is that because the shadow has been covering the bad boss, she cannot accurately lock the opponent with her eyes or perception.

The shadow that was supposed to help her abandoned her ruthlessly at this moment, and instead became used by her opponent like a licking dog.

This means a very scary thing, that is, the opponent's understanding of the way of shadow is far greater than hers. However, shouldn't the bad boss be a spell caster who can summon demons to invade?

Why can he balance both powers at the same time and advance them to such an astonishing level?

Is he really just an outsider?

Rather than some demigod sneaking into Pandaria or some other ghost or something like that?

"Hey, how dare you get distracted while fighting me?"

Blake's dissatisfied scolding instantly brought Tao Ya back to his senses.

The next moment there was a roaring sword light, which represented the dissatisfaction of the leader of the Uncrowned Ones.

The white sharp blade came towards him. The blade brought sharpness before it reached him, making Tao Ya's eyes widen. He performed a standard roll back and bent his body backwards to an astonishing arc.

It's really hard for this fat panda girl to do such a difficult dodge.

Her body accumulated energy like a spring. After dodging the blade, she quickly returned to her original position. She had already caught the Shado-Pan's smoke bomb in her claws and was ready to retreat.

Totally unbeatable!

Teng Wu's judgment was very accurate.

This is not an opponent they can deal with. The shadow masters must come over.

But at the moment Tao Ya raised his head from behind, Blake came out of the shadow, wearing a black and white hozen mask.

And the tidal impact he charged forward.

A vicious uppercut.

The mask on the bastard's face outlined a mocking black and white smile, representing his malicious mood at this time.

And the fist he punched was wrapped with thick and eerie water waves, which was very similar to the healing energy punched by the Mistweaver monks who specialize in healing and magic.

However.

"boom"

There was a muffled sound.

The petite Tao Ya raised his head and was knocked into the air. Two sharp hand forks were inserted into the peach tree, one on the left and the other on the right. The tail ends were still vibrating at high speed.

The smaller half of Tao Ya's body was frozen by the punch, and her mind was impacted by the void power attached to the pirate's fist, almost instantly falling into a state of near coma.

She could no longer control her body and fell from the air to the ground. As she was falling, Blake grabbed her short and cute tail and lifted her into the air.

The weight of this petite Pandaren girl is incredibly light compared to the round race of Pandaren.

The pirate could lift her with one hand.

The last scene Tao Ya saw before he fell into coma was Blake grabbing her shadow hat in mid-air and clasping it on his head very smoothly.

Under the edge of the hat, she could only see a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean.

In the center of the pupil of that eye, there was a weird purple light shining.

"I guess you stepped into my territory with a strong desire for knowledge, excellent little panda girl, but unfortunately, you probably left with a desire for survival.

I hope it doesn't scare you."
