Let's turn our attention for a moment to the barren land, thousands of kilometers away, where tensions are brewing in this land that is not rich in natural resources.

The source of all this can be traced back to Yu Bin. Ever since Yu Bin persuaded the Fireblade Clan to use the Sweetwater Oasis as a place of recuperation and exterminated the centaur tribe that inhabited it, the situation in the Barren Lands had taken a completely different direction from his previous life.

With the full support of the Fireblade Clan, the Great Chief of Thrall not only quickly quelled the chaos caused by the defection of the Blackstone Clan, but even successfully seized the opportunity to severely damage the Bloodcave Clan, a clan that also strongly supported orc warlocks, and the help of the Fireblade Clan was naturally indispensable.

After these two actions, the orc Great Chief Thrall finally took the whole of Orgrimmar firmly in his hands, and the clan council was no longer able to thwart the orc Great Chieftain's decision. And the Fireblade Clan has also been richly rewarded for their strong support for the Great Chief.

Originally, the Fireblade Clan, which could only be regarded as a medium-sized clan, not only managed to occupy a seat in the clan council, but also obtained some important positions in Orgrimmar, in addition, the Great Chief of Thrall sent a large amount of materials to the Fireblade Clan, so that the entire Fireblade Clan not only quickly restored the life and production of the clan, but also began to have the spare strength to expand outward.

As a result, the bull-headed people living in the Mogaolei grassland are like a fish in their throats and like a man's back.

The Minotaur is a native species of the world of Ntagre, and these tall (average height of 2.5 meters) with a simple-looking bull head have been running on the land of the Ntagre world since ancient times. The bullhead has a peaceful nature, loves nature, and likes to plant some flowers and plants in his garden, which seems completely harmless to humans and animals. Throughout the First Age, the Minotaurs were staunch allies of the Elven Empire, playing the roles of farmers and gardeners.

But their honest appearance does not mean that these big guys do not have great strength, the Minotaur believe in shamans, and also have the inheritance of druids, and their strong flesh makes them the most powerful warriors of the Elven Empire, and the Minotaurs, who are naturally very friendly with the earth element, can easily use the power of the earth to fight, and few people can defeat a minotaur warrior who is favored by the earth face to face.

However, with the collapse of the Elven Empire, the Minotaurs lost their protection, and throughout the Second Age, the Minotaurs had to move around the world of Ntagre, looking for a place where their race could thrive. After a long trek and repelling countless enemies and sufferings along the way, the Minotaurs came to the beautiful steppe of Mogaolei.

But the good times were short-lived, and the orcs from other worlds soon came to the barren land adjacent to the Mogaolei steppes, and began to take root here. The warlike orcs and the minotaurs, who had managed to find their home, began a war for living space.

In fact, the Minotaur's greatest enemies are not orcs, because these green-skinned beasts, although savage and warlike, are at least civilized people who can communicate. The greatest threat to the minotaurs living in the Mogaure steppes are centaurs, boar people, and gnolls who are scattered throughout the world of Ntagre, who are not even racially conscious. While this may sound ridiculous, the centaurs could understand why the boar and gnoll, a lowly race that anyone could bully, were seen as the greatest threat and mortal enemy by the mighty Minotaurs.

The reason is simple, because there are so many of these lowly races!

Due to their nature, the Minotaurs are not a race that focuses on reproduction, and their individuals generally have a lifespan of more than three hundred years, and under the protection of the Elven Empire, the Minotaurs who live comfortably are more willing to travel around and enjoy the natural scenery than to have offspring. Therefore, until the collapse of the Elven Empire, the population of the entire minotaur race did not exceed 10 million.

With tens of thousands of years of wandering and migration, in the absence of a stable and safe living home, the fertility rate of the Minotaur further decreased, and by the time they settled in Mogaolei, the population of the entire race even dropped to less than one million. Although the number of minotaurs began to slowly rise due to the abundance of the Mogaolei grassland, even now, the number of minotaurs living in Mogaolei is only more than three million, and even if you add the wandering travelers, the number of the entire race will not exceed five million.

In comparison, the total population of orcs is nearly 60 million, not to mention humans, nearly 400 million people make humans deserve to be the largest race in the world of Entagri (not counting the undead), even the elves who fell apart because of the collapse of the elven empire now have a total population of more than 200 million (counting all the elven species in the Entagri world), even if you only count the long ears living in the Eternal Song Forest, this number is definitely more than 20 million.

Such a scarce population makes every minotaur precious, and the wild boar and the jackal are often led by the centaurs to raid the Mogaolei grassland, and every year many minotaur cubs are plundered and become the belly of these robbers, so, compared to the orcs who have long abandoned the cannibal custom, these bandit races led by centaurs are the mortal enemies of the minotaurs.

With the Fireblade Clan destroying the centaurs of the Sweetwater Oasis, the Minotaurs are overjoyed to have removed a major problem, and wary of the Orc's power expanding again. The Sweetwater Oasis is not far from the Mogaolei grassland, and it only takes less than three days for the orcs to reach the Glory Outpost on the Mogaolei border and set foot on this grassland.

How not to worry the minotaurs, although the orcs have returned to the shamanic way under the rule of the great chief Thrall, these green-skinned beasts belong to the chaos camp after all, and the minotaurs, although neutral, are more inclined to the orderly camp because of the relationship between history and nature, and the two are inherently hostile.

Of course, with the strength of the entire Minotaur race today, there is no capital to compete with the Orcs for the Sweet Water Oasis, in addition to the population gap, more importantly, the Orcs can get the support of the demons, while the Minotaurs do not necessarily get the help of the elves, those long ears have become more and more closed since they fell apart, and they can't wait to hide in the Yongsong Forest and not come out. If it weren't for the fact that both the minotaur and the elves believed in the natural ways of the druids, I am afraid that the connection between the two races would have been severed long ago.

But the presence of the player turned all this around.

After the second advent, nearly 20,000 players chose the Minotaur race, for the Minotaur who has been suffering from the population problem all year round, the sudden emergence of 20,000 more cubs is undoubtedly a very good sign, so these Minotaur players are lucky to be taken care of, those Minotaur NPCs not only do their best to teach them, but sometimes even personally help these players deal with some dangerous enemies.

Coupled with the strong talent and potential of the Minotaur in terms of individual strength, these Minotaur players trumpeting the various benefits of the Minotaur on the real-world online forums really attracted a new group of players who were very interested in it. Therefore, after the third advent, the number of players who chose the Minotaur increased several times, breaking the 100,000 mark in one fell swoop.

Such a high cub survival rate (the reason for the normalization of the appearance of minotaur players) gives the minotaurs an inexplicable confidence, they subconsciously think that all this is because of the changes after the centaurs of the Sweetwater Oasis are eliminated, so they are more and more sensitive to the expansion of the orc power, and at the same time, considering that there may be more and more cubs growing up in the future, the Minotaurs urgently need to find a new source of supplies, and the Sweetwater Oasis closest to Mogoray has naturally become the first choice.

And the first step in all this is to fight for the glory outpost that originally belonged to the orcs! Around this small outpost, which usually only houses a dozen people, more than a dozen small clashes have broken out between the Minotaur and the Fireblade Clan, and a tense atmosphere has begun to emerge in the entire barren land.

It was under this circumstance that the past came to Ratchet City. After learning all this from Li Shouyi, Yu Bin quickly realized how the barren land would change, so while he was preparing to complete the special challenge, he arranged for the past to go directly to Ratchet City with the wind, on the one hand, to train him, lest this master in the previous life waste that talent because he was too comfortable, and on the other hand, it was also to protect their interests, and now the trade between Yu Bin and the Fire Blade Clan is growing rapidly, and this income can even top several game merchants like Li Shouyi, Therefore, it is natural to need a competent person to deal with possible dangers nearby.

In addition, the Eater of Bodies has a secret plan in the Mogaore Grassland, and the new Fourth Pillar of Arides has become a minotaur player himself, spending a lot of effort to promote his "Möbius Project" within the Eater of Bodies. Although it was impossible to make a final decision on whether or not to pursue this plan because the Snake of Devouring Bodies now only had five apostles, Arides still privately exchanged benefits with several apostles, including Yu Bin, and Yu Bin had to provide some support to the heir of the White Rose family.

After leaving the airship platform, the Past quickly used gold coins to obtain the latest information on the Barren Lands from the goblins who valued their fortune as their lives.

After several days of fighting, the Glory Outpost was eventually taken by a young minotaur and a group of minotaur warriors from Orgrimmar's orc sentinels and expanded into a small camp. Later, while the High Chief Thrall was still seeking to negotiate a negotiated solution to the dispute, the Terror Totem Clan, one of the three major Minotaur tribes, was persuaded by the young Minotaur to exclude a group of soldiers and establish an outpost in the Forgotten Pool, less than twenty kilometers from the Sweetwater Oasis.

High Chief Thrall had to interrupt his efforts to negotiate and instead support the Fireblade Clan in uprooting the outpost that threatened the Sweetwaters Oasis. Around the Forgotten Pool, where the two races have faced off with more than 10,000 troops, there is almost the possibility of a misfire.

And now the most active players in the entire Barren Lands, whether they are minotaur players or orc players, have actively or passively joined the impending war, with the Forgotten Pool outpost as the center, and the small half of the Barren Land is full of players wandering back and forth, looting supplies, and hunting down scouts.

So after leaving Ratchet City, the Past had to keep stealthy as much as possible to avoid the players who had already killed the red-eyed along the way, and proceeded to the destination.

Unfortunately, although he had been careful and careful in the past, when he tried to sneak past a path behind Thorn Ridge, he was caught by a trap.

"Aha! Look, what did I catch? A little undead! Several orc players grinned with weapons, and one of the orc warriors dragged a two-handed battle axe with one hand, and grabbed the hunting net that entangled the past with the wind with the other, and said in a strange voice, "Are you looking for your mother?" Hahaha!! ”

Several orc players laughed loudly, as if they had won a victory, but only one orc player was a little worried: "Big brother, this undead is also from the chaos camp, and it is no good to kill him!" ”

"You know what! Recently, these skeletons have been very arrogant, and it is the Whispering Forest and the Silver Pine Forest, and I really think that the one called Ice Whisper is the savior! Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, so I'm going to catch a few bones and try Lao Tzu's axe, you have the ability, you let you eat the snake thing to come and bite Lao Tzu! The orc player said nonchalantly, "And you see, the equipment on this guy's body looks good!" Later, when Lao Tzu slaughters him, maybe he can explode one or two pieces, haha! ”

Although Yu Bin is not well-known in the aboriginal circle, in the circle of players, this undead player can be said to be dominant. "Slayer of the Whispering Forest", "Reaper of the Undead", "Destroyer of the Silver Pine Forest", etc., all players who have experienced these things have added nicknames that sound unclear to Yu Bin's head, making Yu Bin a popular figure on the forum.

Even with the help of certain forces, even the secret organization of the Devouring Snake has been mentioned from time to time, which further increases the mystery of Yu Bin, and at the same time makes those pretentious players subconsciously regard Bin and the Devouring Snake as some grandiose guys.

"But big brother, maybe this undead is the one called the Snake of Bodyeaters?"

"No cowards! What are you afraid of! The orc player called Big Brother kicked at the player who spoke, "Even if he is the person who eats the snake of the body, Lao Tzu will kill him, Lao Tzu wants to let those bone frames know that the orcs are here, it is not their turn to speak, Lao Tzu's Iron Horse Brotherhood, I am really not afraid of him a dead skin snake!" ”
