12. The Land of Broken Hope

As the saying goes, curiosity kills cats. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This sentence is perfectly in line with the current situation of Anduin and his party, originally it was just the abnormality of Zhujiabao, and this kind of thing was originally to be handed over to professionals to do, such as Zhu Talan, who could beat the surrounding circle of people with his eyes closed, but Zhou Zhuo, an enthusiastic traveling scholar, offered to help, coupled with Lili's idle character, and finally succeeded in pulling Anduin and his party into it.

Under the leadership of Zhu Talan, the group cautiously moved towards the depths of the Kasanlang jungle, the little prince felt that something was wrong from Zhou Zhuo and Zhu Talan's serious faces, and he even suspected that Zhou Zhuo wanted to bring them with him, just to seek Zhu Talan's refuge, obviously, this traveling scholar knew what was going on here, and he at least guessed what was going on here.

This place is called the jungle, the natural terrain is in a dense state of forest, the temperature is humid, the ground is full of the smell of heavy vegetation after decay, the surrounding trees are black and purple, exuding a certain ominous atmosphere, in the process of rapid progress, the little prince more than once saw those ruins hidden in the forest, it looks like a complete city.

Zhou Zhuo was also walking in the gap, explaining the origin of those ruins for him.

"That's where the warlords of the evil Mogu Empire used to garrison, you haven't seen the Mogu yet, so you can't imagine what they look like, they are like giants, they have a violent temper, they are powerful, and they are good at using weapons, so even the dangerous Kasanlang jungle is only a ruling area for them!"

Zhou Zhuo handed the kettle in his hand to Swain, pointed to the ruins on the left, and said,

"It is the ruins of Duyang, which is said to have been the capital of the Mogu Empire in Kasanlang, but it was abandoned after their kingdom was overthrown by the panda people and warriors of other races, but few people know that there are actually "human" activities there. ”

Zhou Zhuo winked at Anduin,

"Well, not people..."

The hairs on Anduin's neck stood upside down all of a sudden, for a child of his age, ghosts were always scary, and the panda man wandering scholar deliberately waited until Anduin was startled, and then laughed and patted his stomach,

"Where are the stone statues! The Moorikan are convinced that they evolved from stone statues, so they are very fond of stone statues, and they are proficient in some spells, and can give stone statues true intelligence, so that stone statues that have no reason and only know that destruction is everywhere in Pandaria, as long as they do not break into the place they guard, those stone statues are not dangerous. ”

Zhu Talan, who was carrying a red double-edged halberd, couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zhuo and those children who were smiling, and the corners of the warrior monk's mouth couldn't help but show a smile, he didn't know that the tour scholar was here to dispel the negative emotions in the team, nervousness would make people lose ground, worry would make people distracted, fear would make people lose courage, in places where suspicion of being haunted, this kind of joke that seemed a little out of place was a really useful way to regulate morale.

A few minutes later, the crowd set off again.

The warrior monk sat on the back of a red tiger decorated with armor, he had two short swords hanging from his waist, the tiger's leather pocket was full of barbed war hammers, armed to the extreme, and the traveling scholar sitting on a crane also pinched a few scrolls in his hand, which were made of animal skin, and the elegant words of the panda people were also written on the surface, Mi Shi lay on Zhou Zhuo's shoulder, and his cute big eyes looked around cautiously, Anduin believed that as long as there was any danger, this giant beast would show its fangs.

As for the little prince and his party, Zhu Talan found him a shield carved into the face of a beast from Zhujiabao to use with his oath practitioners, he carried a shield and a long sword, and strolled forward on his royal warhorse, Swain sat on his nightblade leopard, and Lex transformed into a handsome flaming elk to walk on the right.

The little prince was reluctant to leave his friend in Zhujiabao, which was currently very strange, so after realizing that something was wrong, Zhu Talan personally took action to treat Lex's injuries, this was the first time the little prince saw the treatment methods of warrior monks, they hit some specific parts of the body, the blood in the body was discharged, and the true qi mass containing the healing effect was injected, and in just a few hours, Lex regained his ability to move.

The ability to fight is certainly not fully recovered, but for now, it is enough not to let Lex work hard and not affect the action.

In fact, Swain was enough to protect the little prince and Lili, but since she set foot on the land of Pandaria, the red panda was in a state of excitement, and at the moment she was carrying her red warrior monk's stick, sitting cross-legged on the jewel-inlaid saddle of Abai's jewels and crystals, and the little pig was running around on the ground, occasionally grabbing a fat bug and feasting on it.

During the journey, Anduin couldn't help but ask Zhou Zhuo,

"Where are we going? Zhou Zhuo, do you know what caused the chaos in Zhujiabao, right?"

You scholar glanced at Anduin in surprise,

"I thought kids your age didn't care about that. ”

After speaking, Zhou Zhuo raised his head and glanced at the end of this dense forest path, organized his language, and continued,

"You weren't supposed to know this secret, but now that you're here... In the history of the panda people, tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years ago, the whole world was still connected at that time, there were no panda people, there were no creatures such as the golden fish people, the whole world was under the control, and the evil god who controlled Pandaria was the most powerful among them. ”

The wandering scholar was telling the story, and he didn't notice that when he said the evil god, Anduin and Lili's eyes widened, and the flames on Lex's body suddenly swelled a little, and he continued to tell his story in a low voice.

"But all the darkness will pass, the dawn will finally come, and the evil god will finally be destroyed by a more powerful creature, but its power is still remaining on this land, slowly lurking, and from time to time there are some tragedies, but no one has found out, until 10,000 years ago, the great last emperor Shao Hao, that is a powerful panda man, he was aware of all this, and also aware of the greater danger, that is, the danger of the earth splitting, so with the help of his companion Monkey King, he embarked on the path of pursuing power, he sought strength to protect his people, and also our ancestors。 ”

In the process, he traveled all over Pandalia and became aware of the dangers beneath the land, where the evils tried to take possession of him, but he resealed them in a way that eliminated his emotions, and then handed them over to the four gods to suppress. ”

Zhou Zhuo's story attracted the attention of Anduin and Lili, and when he said this, Zhou Zhuo paused for a moment, and then sighed,

"The Emerald Forest is sealed with doubts, and Kasanlang is sealed with despair, as you said, Anduin, we rarely have times of true despair, so the moment you said that those guards were occupied by despair, Zhu Zhangmen and I realized that it was probably the despair that was suppressed in the Vermilion Temple, and it broke through the seal!"

Zhou Zhuo's fists were clenched, and the peaceful panda man showed a rare worry,

"Hopefully that's just speculation. ”

"Something is coming!"

Zhu Talan suddenly shouted at this time, the whole person jumped down from the tiger's back, held the halberd with both hands, and pounced towards the tree that suddenly began to shake on the left, and the next moment, the tree was cut by the sharp true qi, and a yellow shadow pounced out of it, then the second, the third!

"Lizardmen!"

Zhu Talan roared, and the halberd in his hand slashed through the air with a red sword, and the three-headed lizard man who pounced on him was cut into six pieces in the air, and the stinking blood spread all over the ground under everyone's feet at this moment.

It wasn't until after this earth-shattering blow that Anduin came back to his senses and looked at the lizardmen bandits who kept pounced out of the forest, and then he felt that his three views were distorted, there were such disgusting creatures in this world!

They are supposed to be upright creatures, but they can also leap and charge on the ground like hounds, with sharp claws on their fingers and connected pus, but their heads are hideous and ugly, like a lizard with fleshy wings spread out of its neck, like an evil ornament, and the face is that of a complete carnivorous lizard, with various weapons in their hands, and a wagging tail behind them.

They have all kinds of scales on their bodies, either bright or dull, in short, they don't look like normal creatures, they may be ambushed in the woods trying to ambush this team, but they run head-on into the hard stubble, and the most capable panda in the whole of Pandaria is standing in this team.

But soon, the little prince and his party couldn't watch Zhu Talan slaughter the lizardmen in peace, because there were too many of them, and under the command of a lizardman wearing a big golden ring on his back and wearing armor, they bypassed Zhu Talan, who had set off a bloody storm in front of them, and pounced on the others.

"Ahh

The little prince clenched his sword and shield in his hand, he did not retreat, but rushed towards the ugly lizardman who pounced, shouted, and then staggered a thousand, and the shield in his hand smashed hard into the lizardman's face, smashing his body outward, and the oath keeper in the other hand pierced his heart accurately.

Lili sprang out from behind him, her feet resting on Anduin's shoulders, her hands swirling the red warrior monk's stick in her palms, and smashed directly into the ranks of the lizardmen, the red panda seemed to be trying to sprinkle all the depression on these ugly guys, and the stick waved like a storm.

Don't underestimate Lili, in Lost Island, she is also the one that can fight the most among all red pandas, and the top of her stick is still wrapped with cyan light, which is her true qi, very weak, but not weak.

Lex and Swain joined the fight, Lex roared and turned into a blazing bear, although he still staggered a little, but he waved his claws and staggered, and the three lizardmen who tried to get close to Anduin's back were knocked out by the force, and thanks to the Twilight cultists, Lex's attack now took on the power of fire.

The three lizardmen were scratched and burst into flames, squeaking and screaming.

Sven is more like an assassin, she doesn't shoot much, but as long as she shoots, her claws can tear the selected target into several pieces, the violence is amazing, seeing that a few little guys have already gained a firm foothold, Zhu Talan no longer keeps his hand, he stabbed the halberd in his hand into the ground, as a fixed stick, and his chubby body quickly spun around the halberd.

The true qi storm that flew with cyan and blood-colored light feathers quickly took shape, this move Anduin had seen Lao Chen use, and it was said to be a group attack skill that only a truly powerful warrior monk could master, the Divine Crane Introduction, a super skill with both beauty and lethality.

Zhu Talan turned for 15 seconds, at least killed the nearly white-headed lizardman, at the moment when the true qi storm disappeared, Zhu Zhangmen's feet stepped on the ground, his fists clenched, accompanied by a battle roar, his left fist blasted out, and the direction was the lizardman commander, the cyan true qi mass was like a cannonball, whistling and piercing the air, hitting the body of the guy, directly smashing it out more than ten meters away, and falling in three different places.

Seeing that the commander had died, the other lizardmen scattered in a hurry, and only a few minutes later, the place was quiet again.

"Zhu Master, this is not right! I found this on the lizardmen!"

Zhou Zhuo hurriedly ran up and handed a piece of blood-stained cloth to the warrior monk, who took it and looked at it, and his face changed drastically.

"It's... This is the robes of the monks of the Crested Crane Temple, damn it, where did these lizardmen attack? No! The defense of the Crested Crane Temple is something they can't conflict with at all, that is..."

"Something happened to Zhuhe Temple!"

Zhou Zhuo didn't even care about talking anymore, he turned around and ran towards his immortal crane, Zhu Talan also turned over and rode his own tiger, and the other children realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly followed the two adults towards the depths of the dense forest.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Suzawa Temple, located in the jungle of Kasanlang, but... It's already late.

"Oh my God!

Zhou Zhuo stood on the ground in front of the temple a little dejectedly, Zhu Talan's pillar-like body also shook a little, Lili closed her eyes directly, the original magnificent temple had been soaked in blood and death, and those corpses exuded a black, ominous, and strange aura, although the entire square was lifeless, but it was filled with an atmosphere of despair that could not be concealed.

The broken corpses of the pandaren monks were scattered everywhere in front of the temple hall, the smell of blood made people want to vomit, and the most terrifying thing was that, judging by the extent of the decomposition of those corpses, this was at least 3 days ago.

It's 3 days ago again...

Zhou Zhuo couldn't help but glance at Anduin and the others, who were also panicked, 3 days... Why did all this weirdness start 3 days ago?
