The warm sun shines through the rolling hills of the Alterac Mountains, the blue sky is clear, the white clouds drift by, and the gentle breeze through the mountains brings the fragrant scent of various mountain wildflowers.

Blade lay on his back on the grass on the hillside behind the Bloodpaw Camp, watching the blue sky and white clouds while chewing a grass stalk, enjoying the quiet time of the afternoon.

Ten days have passed since Blade returned to the Ironmane Clan. Ten days ago, when he brought Shadowfang's fur back to Bloodclaw's camp, the entire Bloodclaw camp was boiling. Although Blade later explained to the Clan that Shadowfang had not been killed by him, but had died at the hands of someone else, that did not prevent them from surrounding him in the center and cheering him loudly. In any case, Shadowfang is dead, not only will the dead clansmen get revenge, but the clan's foreign trade routes will also be reopened, and this information is brought back by the blade. Blade's heroism in hunting down Shadowfang alone earned the respect of all his clansmen, even if he didn't manage to kill Shadowfang.

Looking at the thunderous scene of the clansmen, there was a little loss in the blade's heart. Because he failed to kill Shadowfang with his own hands, it means that his rite of passage is not complete. And he didn't want to look for an enemy who was too weak, and to do things for the sake of getting them done, which would make his bar mig-mitzvah meaningless.

The coming-of-age ceremony of the blade had to be put on hold for the time being.

"Blade, so you're here, it's really easy for me to find!" Mombasa said out of sight as he climbed the hill, panting.

"Something?" Blade glanced sideways at Mombasa, and saw that he was sweating profusely, and seemed to be in a hurry to find him, so he couldn't help but ask curiously.

Mombasa took a few deep breaths in a row, and after his heartbeat slowly calmed down, he said mysteriously: "I heard that in the deep mountains near the territory of the Stonemane Clan, traces of the undead have been found!"

"Oh, let's hear it!" said Blade, who was suddenly intrigued, and after spitting out the stalk of grass in his mouth, sat up from the ground.

Soon, Blade learned the whole story from Mombasa.

The Stonemane Clan is a small clan of brute-clawed werewolves located in the western part of the Alterac Mountains, with a small population of just over 10,000. Due to the remoteness and isolation of the Stonemane Clan's settlement, this clan does not have frequent contact with other Barbarian Werewolf clans in the Alterac Mountains, and it is rare to hear about this clan. But recently from the Stonemane Clan news that about a month ago, the hunters of the Stonemane Clan began to disappear for no reason when they went to hunt in the mountains near the clan's territory, and after five or six hunters disappeared before and after, the patriarch of the Stonemane Clan, who is also the most powerful warrior in the Stonemane Clan, Marana Stonemane personally led a team of more than a dozen clan warriors to the mountains to find the traces of the missing clansmen, but unexpectedly encountered a group of undead hunting monsters. A fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and as a result, all the warriors of the Stonemane Clan were killed except for the patriarch Marana, who was seriously injured and escaped. The news of the undead haunting in the western part of the Alterac Mountains was brought out by Marana.

After listening to Mombasa's story, Blade rubbed his chin with his hand and looked thoughtful.

As the people of Tampas, the god of war who believes in the god of light, orcs are naturally hostile to the undead who belong to one of the dark creatures, and it is not surprising that the warriors of the Blade Blade Clan's Stonemane clan will fight the undead after discovering the undead. But how could the warriors of the Stonemane Clan be defeated so badly?

Blade groaned and asked, "Those undead are hunting demonic beasts, and the undead don't need to eat, what are they hunting demonic beasts for?"

Mombasa spread his hands with an expression that I didn't know.

"I remember that the Marana Patriarch was a high-ranking warrior, right? He couldn't deal with that group of undead? Could it be that there are too many of them?, or are there high-ranking guys among the undead?" Blade asked again.

This Mombasa knows. He replied, "The number of undead encountered by the Marana patriarch is about the same as the number of warriors he leads, but among them are high-level undead!" .

Then Mombasa further explained: "It is said that the leading undead is a high-level death knight, and the death war horse under his seat has also reached a high level, and the Marana patriarch is equivalent to fighting with two high-level powerhouses, so it is normal that he can't fight!"

"I see, that's interesting!" Blade muttered to himself with a low chuckle, then got up and walked down the hill.

"Blade, where are you going?" Seeing his friend leave suddenly, Mombasa was stunned and opened his mouth to ask loudly. Without waiting for Blade to answer, he immediately thought of something, and suddenly a spirit suddenly stirred, and quickly asked, "Blade, you don't want to investigate those undead, right?"

Blade turned around, smiled at Mombasa, and said, "Yes, but I'm not just scouting! After Shadowfang's death, I haven't chosen a coming-of-age target, but now that I've chosen, I'm going to kill that Death Knight!"

......

The Ironmane Clan lives in the eastern part of the Alterac Mountains, and is half a month's journey away from the Stonemane Clan in the western part of the Alterac Mountains. After telling his mother about his intention to hunt the undead in the territory of the Stonemane Clan, and getting permission, he immediately set about his departure. Since this trip is a long trip, there are really a lot of things that the blade needs to prepare. But on the day of Blade's departure, he looked extremely simple in his dress, and he didn't drag a large bag of luggage. He didn't carry anything other than a pair of black leather armor, a brand-new scimitar, and a fur pouch around his waist.

The black leather armor on Blade's body was one of two pieces of lionskin armor made from the skin of Shadowfang, and the new scimitar had to be replaced due to the damage he had used in the battle with the female knight. As for the seemingly inconspicuous animal skin pocket, it was enough to hold a few cubic items, and it was a very rare space equipment. Because space equipment has changed the rules of space existence, it is the most difficult type of magic equipment to refine. In the mainland market, regardless of capacity, space equipment is the most sought-after commodity.

The space bag hanging from the waist of the blade was a gift from his father to him at the age of eighteen before he left for the northern grasslands. In the entire Ironmane Clan, apart from his spatial bag, only his mother has a spatial bracelet, and no one else has spatial equipment. Even his father, the dignified Imperial Overseer, was temporarily out of space equipment after giving him the space bag.

In fact, in addition to the scimitar, the weapon carried by the blade also included an ancestral strong bow and a pot of feather arrows. He only put the bow and arrows into the space bag along with some daily necessities needed on the way, so he seemed to be traveling lightly. When everything was ready, he said goodbye to his mother and a few friends with whom Mombasa had a good relationship, and then stepped on a wolf, grabbed the mane of the wolf's neck with his hand, and as soon as he clamped the wolf's belly between his legs, the wolf carried him westward.
