"They're retreating?" Sylvanas said in confusion, lowering her longbow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Rhona!"

Rhona pulls the trigger and turns back.

"Go to the east and see. ”

Nodding, Rhona leaped towards the eastern hillside.

"Werewolves are retreating. Benny said as he watched Sylvanas make a gesture. "Knock back with one blow?" he frowned, the werewolves hadn't even really come up close and personal with them.

"It's supposed to be a tentative attack. Khadgar said.

"Mr. Brian. Benny turned his head, and the dwarf was still looking nervously at the valley with his musket in hand.

"Ah, what?"

"Is there a troll camp around here?"

"Yes. Brian nodded, pulling out his map. "We are now at the entrance of the mountain, and after passing the valley is the Great Jungle of the Valley of Thorns, here in -----. Brian held up the map and pointed it to Benny. "This is a highland, with a large ruin of ancient Gugulash, inhabited by a large number of blood-topped trolls, who are hostile to the Darkspear Clan, but generally do not leave the ruins. ”

"The Bloodtop Trolls have most likely been removed from the world. Benny beckoned to Sylvanas. "Let's go see the ruins. ”

The rain seemed to have stopped in fright, and the cold air began to heat up at a speed that could be clearly felt by the human body, and Leah held the hilt of her sword to protect Brian in leading the way, and the muddy road mixed with fallen leaves made it difficult for several people to move fast.

It took us more than an hour for Benny and the others to arrive at the entrance to the ruins of the ancient Cubarush.

A staircase more as wide as a street, with a few obviously broken stone brick walls surrounding the edge of the heights, with some strange monster statues erected on the low walls.

"There really aren't trolls. Brian looked at the ruins high above in amazement.

"Sulfur smell. Khadgar sniffled.

"Look at that. Benny pointed to a very thick tree on his right, whose bark seemed to have been burned to death, and was scorched black, and the branches of the feathered branches had turned yellow, and the branches had become bare. "Traces of evil and plague, werewolves have already visited this place. ”

"Let's go in and have a look. ”

In antiquity, jungle trolls took over the jungle region southeast of ancient Kalimdor, where they established a thriving troll empire, Gurarush. During the Ancient Cataclysm, the world of Azeroth was enveloped in a catastrophe that lasted for years, and the jungle trolls were forced to ask their gods for help, and they were answered by Haka the Soul Reager, a giant humanoid basilisk.

Haka bestows the faithful with great power, the power of darkness, but in exchange, the trolls must sacrifice to him. As the bloodlust grew, Hakka ordered the priests who served him------ Hakka managed to welcome his flesh into the world of Azeroth, so that he could partake of the sacrifices directly.

One of the self-proclaimed Atalai cultist extremist groups in the Hakalai agreed to grant Haka's wishes, but most Hakalai did not think it was a wise choice, but Atalai had already seized most of the power of the empire by virtue of his sacrificial status, and the Gulabash Empire was divided into many clans, one of which was the Bloodtop Clan, whose origin of their name is unknown, but perhaps related to their penchant for scalping.

This ruin is full of stone statues and buildings left over from the period of the Cubarush Empire, much like the high platform style of the ancient Mayan city in Benny's previous life, and the blood-topped trolls have just set up some thatched huts between the ruins, living a very primitive life, and some shacks that have been burned down, and some green traces left by evil spirits can be seen from time to time.

"What's that?" Rhona asked, pointing suddenly to a wooden shelf with a large piece of skin dripping with blood, vaguely green, and some ceramic vessels with blood sacrifices on the ground.

Khadgar frowned and waved his staff, and a flame ignited the wooden frame and the thatched hut behind it.

"That's human skin, orc. Brian said in a deep voice. "Trolls have a habit of skinning orcs when they eat them. ”

"Hmm~" Rona turned pale, covered her mouth and rushed to the stone steps on the side.

"It should be an adventurer. Benny picked up a piece of broken skin. "It's leather armor, not army equipment. ”

Troll enemies are usually sacrificed or eaten. There are two main reasons for this.

First, they believed that sacrificing sentient beings would appease angry souls, and second, they believed that the souls of dead enemies would bring them misfortune. Trolls believe that devouring their bodies can also consume their souls, or that their souls are not enough to cause damage to themselves.

The Darkspear clan is the only troll clan among the trolls who have broken away from the cannibalistic customs, but they have not given up sacrifice, it is only due to the influence of the shamanic teachings brought by Thrall that the Darkspear trolls have changed some of their views on souls, but not completely, and they have instead resorted to various methods to trap, injure or destroy the souls of their enemies. These methods include being blessed by a witch doctor, burning the hearts of enemies, soaking corpses, and making shrunken heads, among others.

To shrink the head, first decapitate the target and make a small opening in the back of the head, carefully remove the skull, then suture the wound, boil for two hours to shrink it, then fill the cranial cavity with hot sand stones, and boil it again. Crumpled to the size of a fist, stitching up the eyes, mouth, and neck, the witch doctors of the Darkspear tribe believed that this would trap the souls of their enemies in their heads forever.

This is actually one of the reasons why Benny doesn't like the tribe, primitive and backward are not wrong, but barbarism is indeed the natural enemy of civilization.

"That's it. Benny sighed. "There are no trolls left here, the werewolves have 'cleaned up' this place thoroughly, Ciel, use the emergency communication channel to contact the intelligence officers in Booty Cove, and ask them to find out what is going on in the southern part of Thorn Valley, including Naga, pirates, and trolls. ”

"Mr. Brian, are there trolls from other clans in the northern part of Thorn Valley?"

"There are also the Gubarash clan and the Skull Clan, they all live in several large Cubalash ruins, the largest is Zurgrab in the east, but it is very, very dangerous there, more dangerous than the werewolves! Most of the remnants of the ancient atalai sacrifices are concentrated there, and they can still gain great power from those evil gods!" Brian had a slight solemnity on his face.

"Don't worry, we're targeting werewolves, not these trolls. Benny reassured.

"Oh well. Brian nodded helplessly, and he had no room to refuse.

"Khadgar, leave some magic vigilance runes, let's go to Zurgabra. ”
