Shadow Trails in Azeroth

In Xal'atath's weird and obscene laughter, the dark essence followed the power of the void in Blake's body, "splitting his will in two."

Half of it was sent into the heart of darkness, making it beat even more violently.

The other half was sent into the contaminated divine snake egg, and began to compete with the unformed evil spirit's will for control of the divine egg.

This process is very important.

In fact, the principle of Blake's experiment is very simple. It is the "dove occupying the magpie's nest" trick.

He got "inspiration" from the flesh-and-blood reincarnation of the old pirate Gaboa. Instead of wasting time and effort to help Xal'atath find more "clothes", he might as well use this special egg in front of him to give Xal'atath " Grow” a pair of clothes of your own.

Just like Gaboa's evil process of resurrecting the dead by relying on a vampire egg possessing the mysterious matron's divinity, this experiment relied on many voodoo techniques. Of course, its internal flaws were also filled by Black's own magical attainments. .

The principle is really not difficult.

But the difficult part is the operation process.

First of all, it would be extremely difficult to find a void walker who is as proficient in the power of the void as the stinky pirates, but has not been tortured to the point of going crazy.

"Captain Stinky! I just read your feasibility report again, and I found a problem!"

Three hours after the experiment began, as Xal'atath's will had completely suppressed the evil spirits in the contaminated egg and began to merge into the egg, preparing to "grow and hatch", Little Star suddenly ran over and frowned at the pirates. explain:

"You left a 'gimmick' in the feasibility report! You are emphasizing that this test is just a preliminary plan and is the basis for further verifying the application prospects of void power in the material world.

In other words, after this experiment is successful, do you plan to continue a series of similar experiments?

Who is the next subject? "

"It's me."

Blake didn't hide it.

While he slowly withdrew the void power he used to appease the two experimental materials, and let the mantid spellcaster and the old snake man take over the subsequent energy warming process, he said to the curious little star:

"Don't show that surprised expression. An experimenter who dares not operate on himself will never be able to break through his own limitations. This is the 'experimenter spirit' that Dean Lanyue highly esteems.

I'm not just doing this for Xal'atath, I also have my own ideas about my future career plan. This is an attempt. After collecting enough experimental data, I will turn myself into an experimental subject. "

"Have you made up your mind to follow the path of the void?"

Blake's answer made Little Xingxing very worried. Although the stupid blue dragon was usually not very reliable, when it came to the magic field that she was good at, this guy was very knowledgeable.

She sensed Blake's plan from the pirate's words, and said with a worried look:

"Although I know you are very talented in this area, are you a little too anxious to choose to fall into the void so easily? I mean, don't you also have the power of life and the blessing of the moon god?

Although I don't hate you as an evil person, from my perspective, I still hope that you can become a representative of the order camp rather than the chaos camp.

I mean, you are crazy enough now. If you really fall into the void, I can't even imagine how far your madness and ridiculousness will be pushed."

"Snapped"

Blake's curled fingers expressionlessly hit Little Star on the forehead, causing the latter to hold his head and cry out in pain.

"Are you just talking to seniors like this? I think you are really distracted and you really need to be taught a lesson!"

The pirate snorted and scolded him dissatisfiedly.

He completely withdrew his void power, and then observed the two experimental materials that had established a connection in front of him. Under the pull of pure void energy, the heart of darkness was "merging" into the contaminated snake eggs bit by bit. middle.

It will serve as an important organ of Xal'atath's new body and join in this symbolic "gestation and hatching", much like the process of shaping a new life in an egg.

"The rest is up to you."

After Blake confirmed that everything was progressing normally, he took a step back and told the two mantid heroes and the old snake man:

"In order to ensure that the subsequent hatching goes smoothly, the mantids will seal the egg with kypa amber for two hours every eight hours to provide it with a comfortable external environment and enough nutrients for it to break out of the shell.

This process must be timed accurately.

As for you, Warwick, in the following time, you must continue to pray for this egg, so that its hatchings can continue to maintain the pure posture of the mysterious mistress. "

"Um."

The mantid and snake man nodded, this job is not difficult.

"I'm going to write a paper. If you need anything, call me immediately."

Black waved his hand, picked up his pipe and left the experimental area. He set up a table behind the cold ancient snake nest, took out the paper specially made by Nathalas College, and prepared to start the water thesis.

But as soon as he started, he suddenly realized something.

There is actually no need for him to write this paper himself.

Isn't there a stupid blue dragon next to me who is good at writing? Moreover, her word choice, sentence making, and grammar skills were miles ahead of mine.

"Ahem"

The pirate coughed, turned his eyes and looked at Little Xingxing beside him who was carefully observing the experimental process. He called out in a low voice:

"Come here, my school girl, I have something to trouble you with."

"ha?"

Little Xingxing felt so happy at this moment. When she looked back and saw Blake dropping the magic pen, she knew what this guy wanted to do. She snorted, crossed her hands, and said to Blake righteously:

"Chat, yes! Writing a paper for you, no! If it's found out that I wrote the paper for you, I'll be doomed. Dean Lan Yue will definitely beat me to death with his own hands.

This is a serious violation of the rules and regulations of Narthalas Magic Academy. I am a good student in the eyes of the dean, so I will not help you do such a thing. "

"But I didn't ask you to help me cheat."

The pirate held his pipe in his mouth, tilted his head and said:

"I just invited my school girl, who is the best in the world in grammar, to help me 'polished' the paper and help me correct the grammatical errors in the paper. Is this wrong?

Besides, professional things have to be left to professionals.

You stole so many stories from me as your own autobiography, which made you a lot of money in the whole world. Is it so difficult for me to ask you to write an essay for me now?

This is too unreasonable for you, right? "

"What does 'stealing' mean?"

Little Xingxing stopped immediately and screamed:

"I only used those stories as a reference and to pay tribute to you. How can this be called stealing? The protagonists of the stories are all different, right? Besides, can this thing where writers learn from each other be called stealing?"

Blake didn't object.

He just had a dull face and looked at Little Xingxing with a strange look. It was only when Little Xingxing felt a little embarrassed by Blake's gaze that she stamped her feet in frustration.

Her Highness Little Star came over with a very unhappy attitude, sat down at the table, picked up a pen, and glanced at the paper with only a title in front of her. She sighed and began to imitate Blake's notes and write quickly.

How about saying they are professionals?

In just a few minutes, a long piece of logical nonsense that seemed very reasonable but was actually meaningless was released.

"Tsk, tsk, nonsense literature is really wonderful."

The pirate could not help but marvel when he witnessed Little Xingxing's vigorous writing skills. He also whispered encouragement:

"Come on, write well, I won't let you work in vain. I just made a big deal with the Zandalari trolls, so I will give you some treasures to decorate the dragon's nest, okay?"

You go in and take as much as you can, but you can only take it once, and you can't use magic. "

"Huh? You would be so generous?"

Little Xingxing looked up at Blake in surprise, and said in a strange tone:

"How much money did you make from the Zandalar trolls? Did you rob their treasury?"

"Grabbed half of it!"

Blake whistled proudly and said:

"If it were all converted into gold coins, there would be enough treasure to crush you to death three times."

"I want half! At least a third!"

Little Xingxing immediately slapped the table and shouted:

"Otherwise, I will expose you for threatening me to help you write a paper for you! You may not be afraid of me, but you must be afraid of Dean Lanyue. Haha, you can't do anything to me now."

"Okay, I'll give you one third."

Blake waved his hand generously, blew out a smoke ring, rubbed his chin and said sadly:

"Well, when I found that treasure house, I thought it could help me store a lot of treasures, but I didn't expect that within a year, the treasure house would be full.

I have to find a hidden place in this world to hide my new treasure. Alas, is this the trouble of making too much money? There's no place to put it.

How about I set up a pirate bank? Go grab business with Goblin Bank?

Hmm, this seems like a good idea. "

"Why don't you die, you rich bastard?"

Little Xingxing squinted her eyes and shouted with jealousy at the stinky pirate who looked like Versailles:

"My money is only enough to fill three dragon nests, bastard! Why are you richer than me? Isn't the Blue Dragon Legion's ten thousand years of savings comparable to your robbery in a few years?

What a shameful bastard, what do you want so much money for?

Are you ready to buy the entire eastern continent? "

"No no no."

Blake shook his finger seriously and whispered to Little Star:

"What do I want from the Eastern Continent? I don't want that rotten land full of wars and conflicts. I want to use my wealth to buy the entire Endless Sea. If anyone dares to fight me, I'll kill them with money!"

Alas, to achieve this, I have to continue to work hard. Where do I get to now?

Come on, come on, I've paid. My dear 'ghost writer', Your Highness Xiao Xingxing, stop dawdling and work quickly. When the experiment is over, we will send the paper back to Dean Lanyue as soon as possible. appreciate.

This way I can finally graduate!

Well, if you think about it carefully, I am almost the first student to graduate from Nathalas College in the past 10,000 years since the collapse of the world, right?

It's such an honor. "

——

Two days later, to be precise, two days and one night later.

When the palace of the Faithless Empire was breached by the troll army, the country was ruined and the family was destroyed, and the lonely Emperor of the Faithless fled in embarrassment with a group of cronies, Black's experiment finally reached the final stage.

As the mantids carefully peeled off the kypa amber on the outside of the egg, which was used for protection and nutrition, the egg that originally shone with filthy blood seemed to have been "purified."

The bloody light inside it has dissipated, replaced by a jade-like warm white light. Through the already very thin eggshell, under the light, you can even see a snake-like black shadow moving in the eggshell.

Like a water snake swimming in the water.

This scene made the old snake man Warwick, who had been praying with faith for two days and one night, very excited. Although he knew that the mysterious mistress that hatched from this egg was no longer the mysterious mistress, seeing the snake egg restored to purity was still a mysterious thing. Something touching.

"Back off! Everyone back off!"

Blake and Little Star stepped forward and warned the people around them:

"After completing the hatching, she may need some time to regain consciousness. Everyone should be prepared to resist the impact of the void. I don't want to see you heroes being made fools by the ancient sages."

"Click"

As soon as the pirate finished speaking, the white snake egg placed on the altar made a clear cracking sound. Under the gaze of everyone, black lines cracked on the surface of the snake egg.

Just like a spider web, it quickly spread all over the outside of the egg shell.

Before the creatures inside could break out of their shells, heavy pressure was exerted on the entire ancient snake nest. Even the pirates felt as if there were heavy rocks on their shoulders.

"She's coming out!"

Little Star exclaimed and pointed forward.

The next moment, as everyone watched in awe, the snake egg as tall as a person seemed to have been punched from the inside, and it shattered with a crack, leaving a gap.

Then, amidst the unique rustling sound of snake creatures moving, a red and black desert viper emerged from the snake's gallbladder with mucus on it.

This new-born snake is not very long, and even feels a bit compact.

But it's beautiful.

Every scale on the body is as perfect and round as a work of art. The green eyes dotted with blood-red agate scan the surroundings, and then eat up the eggshells bit by bit in the rotating package that spits out snake letters. .

It stretches its body like a real beast. At the junction of its head and body, there is a weird body membrane like a cobra. When the wing-like body membrane is fully opened, you can see the lines on it like eyeballs.

After eating up the eggshell, the new-born snake neighed lazily, and then nimbly crawled along the bone altar to the ground, then swam gracefully towards Blake.

"do not move!"

The pirate said to the little star beside him who wanted to dodge:

"Xalatath's consciousness seems to have not fully awakened yet. If you move, she will regard it as a provocation. You can tell from the look on her face that she is covered in poison. Being bitten by this guy will be serious."

"Dancing with snakes, this is it!"

Little Star's teeth were chattering.

She could feel the threat of the snake in front of her. She hated playing with snakes. Women and snakes were always enemies!

"Hiss, hiss"

In the weird snake cry, the beautiful snake wrapped around the pirate's legs and body and finally wrapped around his waist. He raised his head and shook his head to look at Blake in front of him.

The pirate whistled a rhythmic whistle, making the snake sway its head to his rhythm.

"Look! She loves music."

Blake boasted proudly:

"Even if she turns into a beast, she still loves me the most. Ouch!"

Before he finished speaking, the snake that had been swaying to the music swooped over and bit Black on the lips. The pirate jumped up from the spot with a cry of pain.

But he didn't fall down.

Because in mid-air, the little red and black snake coiled around him transformed like a druid amidst the thought-provoking Royal Sister's laughter, transforming into a lamia with white skin, beauty, and a hot figure, and opened his arms to The pirate held him in his arms.

Her upper body maintains the form of an elf.

But the lower body still has a snake-like body, which is similar to the snake demon in Calabash Baby. But considering the background of this world, maybe it is more appropriate to call her "Medusa".

"Everyone! Get out!"

Xalatas, who was hugging Blake like a princess, shook his head. The beautiful snake scolded her coldly with her supreme aura:

"After six hours, come in and listen to the Lord's oracle. Yes! At least six hours!"
