Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Blake entered the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, but did not immediately set out to hunt down the fallen Sea Sage.

Based on the depth of the Heart of Darkness buried in his memory, even if mantids and terrors were used to dig there, it would still take some time. He could do something else first.

It's time to warm up.

"You keep an eye on it for me."

The stinking pirate said to Xal'atath, who was startled after smelling the "delicious food":

"The existence of the Sha of Pride is obvious. You can smell the stench from such a distance. Let me know when they fight with the Guardian of the Heart of Darkness. It's a good time to rush there."

"You're using me like a hunting dog, you nasty pirate."

Xal'atath said dissatisfiedly:

"I feel like the relationship between us has become weird. Look at you, you don't even want to say 'please'."

"Please help me keep an eye on them."

Blake sighed, rubbed his head and said:

"Do you want me to call you 'sugar baby' again?"

"Uh, forget this, it's too exaggerated."

Xalatath let out a strange and ambiguous laugh. She made a kissing sound and said:

"Wait until I have new clothes. Let's keep it private. My dear sweet little master, wait for my good news."

After saying that, a wisp of gray-white smoke mixed with scarlet dispersed from the pirate and flowed towards the other side of the Eternal Blossom Valley. The pirate shrugged. It is good to have such a clingy and arrogant dark little girlfriend. .

Although annoying at times, she can be used in many ways.

"You go hunt the mantid."

Blake turned back to Fenner and Little Star and said:

"I will summon you when I get the news. If you encounter Yingjie, be careful. Each of these guys hide their secrets, especially you, Fenna.

They may not necessarily be as powerful as you, but you are definitely no match for them if you are too clever. I have heard that Grom suffered a loss at their hands. "

"Hmph, stop looking down on others."

The stupid soldier tilted his head in displeasure and said:

"I'm going to chop off a hero right now for you to see, little Xingxing, let's go!"

"ah?"

She was taking pictures of the beautiful scenery around her with her dwarf camera, especially the little blue dragon princess who was taking selfies with the two huge golden mogu stone sculptures carved from the entire mountain peak in the distance. She was stunned for a moment.

She looked at Fenner and said:

"Why should I go with you? I've been fighting too much these past two days and I don't want to fight. My mentor just taught me that I should find the wisdom of life in the peace of my soul, so you can go by yourself.

I'm going to take a boat ride on Qionghua Lake with Seianni and Melinsela. It is said that Wulin Village has the largest waterfall in Pandaria where you can play, and there are water spirits living there. They are as cute as little Leshi. "

"It's a war! You're still in the mood to go see the scenery! You're really pissed off, come on!"

Fenner grabbed Little Star's ears and led her toward the area where the mantid was entrenched while she screamed. Seani and Melinthela looked at each other and followed.

They were worried about little Xingbao running around alone.

Blake sent away the four idiots and walked down the golden stairs. Looking at the huge mogu warrior sculptures outside the gilded pavilion in the distance, his thoughts returned to the good times he had here.

"We can't have another Ho Shaoxia this time, right?"

The stinky pirate complained.

Garrosh was still wiping the decks of the Nag'Fal right now, and the orc boy would never have imagined that he would have any connection with this sacred place.

Calculating it this way, Blake can be regarded as changing the tragic life of Young Master Ho?

"Um?"

Just when Blake was thinking about life, he suddenly felt that the wind beside him was a little strange, always seeming to blow on his neck, as if someone was deliberately joking with him.

But the pirate looked left and right, and constantly sensed that there was nothing around him.

He rolled his eyes, took a step forward, jumped into the shadows and disappeared. A few seconds later, a large horse monkey wearing a crane feather appeared in the breeze.

Pandaria's hozen demigod, the Monkey King, was scratching his head and jumping around in place, and kept sniffing with his nose, as if he wanted to find Blake, thus announcing the victory of this "hide and seek" game.

But he undoubtedly failed.

Blake discovered his prank.

But he failed to detect the existence of the smelly pirates from the shadows circulating around him.

The hozen tried very hard, but the connection between Black and the shadow was too deep. After several minutes of trying to no avail, the big hozen jumped in place angrily, put his beloved Staff of Fortune aside, and said:

"Come out! Come out, I surrender."

"Why are you teasing me when you have nothing to do?"

Blake jumped out of the Monkey King's shadow with a long face. He looked at the hozen demigod. The latter's energy and energy were much better than when he was freed from the seal.

It seems that he has been cultivating well in Kun-Lai Mountain recently.

He asked:

"Why are you here if you don't want to integrate your monkey grandsons? And I didn't see you helping me when I was fighting the mantid. You are still the demigod of Pandaria, and you don't work hard at all. Be careful of the pandaren complaining about you!"

"What do you know?"

The Monkey King snorted, took off the wine barrel from his Staff of Fortune, glared at Black, and motioned for him to pick up his wine jug, and poured a glass of wine into the evil, half-melted skull wine jug. .

That gesture was very careful, and I wished I wouldn't give him even a drop of it.

"You are raising fish!"

The pirate shook his glass unhappily and said:

"More, you are stingy. You are looking for me to do something. Is it so difficult to ask for a drink?"

"This is the monkey wine I brewed thousands of years ago! You bastard."

The Hozen Demigod was very unhappy. He put away his wine barrel very preciously and hung it again on the Staff of Fortune. He grinned and gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you like to drink or not?"

"Drink, drink, why don't you drink?"

The stinky pirate rolled his eyes, raised his head and drank the glass of wine. The taste was not mentioned for the moment. As soon as the wine entered his throat, the pirate felt the bones in his body stretch out and make a clicking sound.

It's refreshing, as if you've been soaking in a hot spring all day, so comfortable that you almost have to squint your eyes.

When he opened his eyes from the drifting feeling, he saw the Monkey King staring at him, and the Hozen was rubbing his hands with an expectant look on his face.

Before Blake could speak, he explained his purpose:

"You have something that can make you dream, right? I smell the intersection of dreams and reality. I don't want your baby, but I want you to take me to dream in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms and enter the Emerald Dream.

I'm looking for something that can only be found in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. "

"Holy Tree Blessing?"

After the Hozen demigod finished speaking, the stinky pirate glanced at the Monkey King and said:

"Are you looking for the World Tree of Pandaria? Is there something wrong with your staff?"

"Eh heh heh!"

The Malaysian Monkey King's eyes widened and he let out a series of surprised cries. He shook his flexible tail and said to Blake:

"How do you know that what I am looking for is the Fortune Treasure Tree? Even my good brother Shaohao doesn't know about this. Only the Four Gods in Pandaria know about the existence of the Fortune Treasure Tree.

You are an outsider and you cannot understand this place better than we do. "

"I am a prophet, the real deal, my dear monkey friend."

Blake rolled his eyes and said:

"There is no secret in this world that can be hidden from me. Tell me first, why are you looking for the Fu Zan Baoshu?"

"Repair the staff."

The Monkey King looked embarrassed.

He looked left and right, and like a monkey doing bad things, he secretly showed Black the simple and rounded Fu Zan staff at the other end of the wine barrel.

The pirate glanced over and found that this gorgeous staff had two metal rings on both ends, which were specially used to hang wine barrels. The two metal rings were also very beautiful.

The only problem was that the technique was poor and cracks appeared on both ends of the staff.

"Did you do this? You really ruined a good thing!"

Blake stroked the staff in front of him with a distressed expression. Although this thing was not his, seeing the Monkey King, a stinky monkey, treating the treasure this way, the stingy pirate also felt a pang of pain.

"Well, I was still a young hairy monkey back then, so I wasn't sensible."

The Monkey King touched the monkey hair on his face and said with a sigh:

"At that time, in order to save trouble, I thought of imitating Shaohao's Dragon Staff and putting a metal ring on my blessing, but it broke apart.

I didn't feel anything at the time.

But this time after I recovered from the sapphire curse, I found that the spiritual energy of the Staff of Fortune had escaped a lot. If this continues, this precious staff from the Mother of Life will become useless.

You must never tell anyone else, especially Yulong.

She handed me the Staff of Fortune on behalf of Lord Freya back then. If she knew that I broke the staff, she would definitely beat me to death. "

"Well, you have people you're afraid of too."

Blake sneered and looked at the golden Valley of Eternal Blossoms behind him. He rolled his eyes, took out the mask that his loser Kenken made for him, and said to the Monkey King:

"I can take you into the Emerald Dream, but I can't do it in vain. I know that the bamboo mask making skills of the hozens were passed down from you. You also helped Shaohao make a mask to ward off evil spirits.

Please help me change this mask and make it more powerful. I will take you to the dreamland to find the Fortune Treasure Tree.

Speaking of which, I heard that the tree planted by Ms. Freya herself originally existed in dreams and reality. Why can't I see it in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms now? "

"It's long gone!"

The Monkey King grinned and took Blake's hozen mask. He first complained about the roughness of the mask and then explained:

"Yulong said that since Ms. Freya gave the Staff of Fortune to her for safekeeping, the treasure tree has slowly disappeared from the material world. After the rise of the Mogu, the treasure tree has completely entered the dream world.

I have talked with your people in the past few days, and they told me that there is a group of people in the outside world called druids who can travel through dreams, but we don't have such people in Pandaria, so I have been looking for so many years and I can't fix my magic. stick.

However, it is precisely because there are no Dream Walkers in Pandaria that the Emerald Dream on this continent has always been peaceful. The Fortune Treasure Tree has existed in the dream for hundreds of thousands of years, and it must have grown very huge.

Maybe we can take a few branches from the tree and give the Staff of Fortune a thorough maintenance. "

"Yeah, I didn't even think of that."

The Monkey King's casual words made the smelly pirate's eyes light up.

He didn't shirk, and took out Savarik's flute, and whistled to summon Miss Hisari Black Crow.

After the preparations were completed, the pirate played a cheerful ditty and took the Monkey King and Miss Black Crow from the material world to the Emerald Dream when the door to the dreamland opened.

"Wow!"

As soon as she entered the dream world, Miss Hisali Black Crow, an orthodox druid, exclaimed:

"Oh my God, the World Tree! There is also a World Tree here!"

"This is not your elves' weak World Tree."

Blake stood with his hands on his hips in a peaceful emerald dream, looking at the huge tree that was rooted in the dream of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms and grew in front of him. Its crown almost enveloped the entire valley.

One tree is as big as a city.

The leaves on it are lush and green, and the branches and vines hang down all around, and they are still shining with gorgeous light spots in the dream.

The pirate looked at the huge tree in front of him and whispered:

“This is the tree planted by the Guardian of Life, Ms. Freya, after the Lord’s War. It has lived for nearly a million years, and the Valley of Eternal Blossoms is closely related to it.

The Fountain of Youth in the material world and the Blessed Treasure Tree in the dream world together form the Heart of Pandaria, and it is its existence that makes this continent so fertile and lush.

You can't call it a world tree.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the 'Ancestral Tree'. It is a great life in itself. "

"Even if the king of the forest comes, you still have to be amazed by the green natural miracle in front of you."

Miss Black Crow did not refute Black. She just stretched out her hand and tried to touch the branch in front of her with the excitement of a druid.

But he was stopped by the Monkey King.

"Don't touch it. It has a will of its own. It is looking at us. You will be considered impolite. Come, follow me, do what I do, and be respectful."

The hozen demigod warned.

He stepped forward with the Staff of Fortune, raised the staff high, and half-knelt down, praying to the precious tree to give him fresh branches to repair the staff that Ms. Freya had personally used to guide countless great lives.

His prayer was heard by the huge treasure tree in front of him.

Amidst the cheers of the hozens, a branch hung down from the canopy of the tree that blocked out the sun, and the green branch fell into the hands of the Monkey King.

This was enough for him to repair the Staff of Fortune to make up for the mistakes he made when he was young.

Miss Thessaly Black Crow glanced at Black, and the pirate nodded to her, so Black Crow also stepped forward and half-knelt there, paying respect to the world's first ancient tree in the name of the Cenarion Order. .

Her respect was also accepted, and a branch about the same length as the Staff of Fortune fell into Miss Black Crow's hand, just like a "red envelope" given by an ancient elder to a lovely junior.

But this is the material for making legendary weapons and even artifacts.

It's so generous and I gave it casually.

The Stinky Pirate observed the actions of the Monkey King and the Black Crow. He was the last one to step forward and half-knelt in front of the Fortune Treasure Tree. He didn’t know what he said. The Monkey King and the Black Crow Miss saw the huge treasure tree and started to Shaking violently.

They once suspected that the stinky pirate had said something he shouldn't have said to anger the treasure tree, but the next moment, dozens of branches fell from the canopy of the sky.

If Black hadn't been able to dodge quickly, he would have been killed by the branches dropped by the Fu Zan tree.

"What did you do!"

The Monkey King looked at the slender branches in his hands, and then at the dozens of huge logs stacked together in front of the pirates. He shouted in shock:

"What exactly did you wish for?"

"Ah this."

Blake scratched his head, turned around and smiled awkwardly, and said:

"I just said that I need wood to renovate one side of my ship, and the generous Fu Zan tree gave me so many branches that it didn't need. Of course, it also made a small request.

I have to do it, otherwise I will never get out of this valley.

But it doesn’t matter. "

The pirate looked at the dozens of large logs shining with magnificent light that he visited in front of him. He rubbed his hands and said with shining eyes:

"Anyway, that's what I wanted to do. I've made a lot of money this time."
