Chapter 396: March: Uldaman (3/4)

Jiang Zheng couldn't cry or laugh.

Just now, I was really dizzy by hundreds of dwarves, I didn't pay attention to the direction, and I actually ran in the direction of Rock Lake in the east, and I ran more than ten kilometers in ten minutes.

No, that's running for your life!

"Okay, let's go in a different direction and head south." Jiang Zai looked at the fields to the south, and the mountains beyond the fields.

Brian had only parted with the Dwarven Musketeers an hour earlier, apparently his target was not in the North or overseas, but in the South or West.

The whole of Rockmodan is the territory of the Dwarves, and there are more than 10,000 Dwarves living here, so there is certainly nothing that can attract Brian.

And if you go south, then there is only one place that can attract Brian.

"So, you went to Uldaman?" Jiang Zai blinked, and chuckled at the warm but still cool east wind.

Once you've set the direction, it's much easier.

Jiang Zai probably knew the location of Uldaman, so he headed all the way south.

Of course, it is also difficult to find Brian in the vast wilderness, after all, Loquemodan is not a pure wilderness, there are groves and small hills to block the view. The road to Uldaman is even more densely forested, and there are a large number of black bears and spiders entrenched in Grayclaw Mountain, which is not so easy to find people, so Jiang Zai chooses an easier way:

Since Brian is going to Uldaman, then go directly to Uldaman and meet him.

It is still a long way to go from Uldaman, after all, it is a full three hundred kilometers to cross the whole of Lockmodan. Even if Jiang Zai and the panda people were fast enough and had amazing endurance, they could only travel less than 100 kilometers a day.

Three days later, they finally left the dense forests of Greypaw Mountain and saw the light of day again.

Across a valley, there is another world.

This is the middle of nowhere.

Not many people know about the original landform of the Barren Land, but since the cataclysm more than two hundred years ago, it has become the environment it is now.

The Dwarves are a remarkable race, and the first Dwarves left the Slumbering Lands to build the Kingdom of Ironforge. But after the old death of the "King of the Mountains", the three most powerful tribes: Copperbeard, Black Iron, and Brute Hammer, broke out into a terrible war, the so-called "War of the Three Hammers".

In the end, the strongest Copperbeard clan defeated the Black Iron Clan and the Brute Hammer Clan and became the masters of Ironforge Castle.

At the foot of the eastern hills of the wetlands, the Hammer tribe has built a city comparable to Ironforge: Grimbaatar.

The Black Iron Tribe, on the other hand, migrated to the Red Ridge Mountains and built another equally magnificent underground city: Dark Furnace City.

Many years later, the Black Iron tribe secretly formed a large army, and the King of Black Iron, "Thoresen the Great", personally led a large army to attack Ironforge, and his queen "Witch Mordgood", led another army to attack Grimbaatar.

In the end, Emperor Thoresen failed to break through the Ironforge and lost his army, and Mordgud, with the help of the "Sword of the Dark Empire", almost captured Grimbaatar, but was abandoned by the Sword of the Dark Empire at a critical moment, and then killed by the Hammer Dwarves.

Ironforge is still alive, but Grimbaatar has been transformed into a cursed city by dark spells.

The Hammer tribe had to abandon Grimbaatar and migrate to what is now Hinterland, befriending the local griffins, vigorously developing the shamanic culture, building the Eagle's Nest Mountain, establishing the Hammerhammer Griffin Knights, and slowly alienating themselves from the dwarves in Ironforge.

Of course, before that, the Hammer Dwarves and the Copperbeard Dwarves pursued and killed the Black Iron Dwarves all the way to Dark Furnace City.

Seeing that the Black Iron Tribe was about to be destroyed, the Great decided to take a risk.

He was the most powerful legendary mage of all the dwarves, and in his resentment and anger, he used an incomparably powerful spell to break through the barrier between Azeroth and the fire elemental plane, and touched the long-imprisoned fire elemental lord and fire demon king Ragnaros.

Ragnaros had long wanted to return to Azeroth, and now he had found his chance.

The spell of the Great Thorrisen was not enough to summon Ragnaros to this world completely, but at least it summoned a part of his power, or a clone of the Fire Demon King who carried part of it.

Ragnaros was not interested in paying attention to the hero who had summoned him.

Countless years of captivity made him full of hatred for this world, so he killed the Great Thoresen as soon as possible, and then took advantage of the fact that the torn barrier had not yet healed, summoning the power of the fire elemental plane and tearing apart the Red Ridge Mountain Range.

The earth shook with great force, and as a result, a roaring volcano rose from the ruins, forming a volcano that bordered the Scorching Canyon to the north and the burning plain to the southโ€”the Black Stone Tower.

In fact, it was the monstrous flames and magma that changed the landscape for thousands of miles, so that there were burning plains, scorching canyons, and barren lands.

Because of the distance, the impact on the barren land is not too great.

Unlike the Burning Plains and Scorching Canyons, which maintain temperatures of over forty degrees all year round, there are even large amounts of lava flowing in some places, and the temperature is so high that even the Copperbeard Dwarves can't stand it, and most of the area still maintains a normal high temperature. Although there is no winter, there is still spring and summer.

It's just that the landscape here has been completely destroyed, so that more than two hundred years have passed, and there is hardly a tree to be seen, not even a small grass.

Separated by a valley, forest on one side and barren on the other.

Jiang Zheng soon came to a hillside dozens of meters high and looked far away.

Soon a few kilometers away, he saw the remains of an ancient building, as well as some busy ......

Dwarf?

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

One person and four pandas quickly approached quietly, avoiding the dwarves' sight as much as possible. Fortunately, the dwarves were also busy with their own business, and there were no sentinels, so they were not discovered.

"Dark-skinned, dark-bearded, ...... teeth It's white. Black tooth white? So it's not a copperbeard dwarf, it's a black iron dwarf. Jiang Zheng frowned.

The black iron dwarves are roasted by the flames every day, and eat magma ash every day, and it has only been more than two hundred years, and they have become as black as cinders, and the brown skin of the past is completely gone, and even the brown-red beard and hair have turned black, which may be related to the rule of the Fire Demon King.

It's not surprising that the Black Iron Dwarves have found this place.

The Iron Fort is thousands of kilometers away, and the Black Stone Tower is about this distance away, but there is a station of the Black Iron Dwarves in the Barren Land, but there is no station for the Copperbeard Dwarves, so the Black Iron Dwarves move faster.

However, it seems that the Black Iron Dwarves have just cleared out the ruins and made a cave, and they should not have entered it yet.

Of course, Jiang Zheng knew very well that even in a few years, these black iron dwarves would not want to go deep into Uldaman. Although the lost city has long since fallen silent, it still has its own defenses, and there is also an ancient savage creature that occupies the depths of the underground.

Brian ...... Haven't you come yet? โ€

Jiang Zai frowned, looked around, and soon found an abnormality.

He spotted a gorilla.

It was a gorilla that stood up about two and a half meters, hiding under a huge rock not far away.

There are no orangutans in the Badlands, this is an outsider, and as far as Jiang Zai knows, Brian has a pet named "Glebe", which is a gorilla.

Brian ...... Already here? Jiang Zai blinked: "So, where are you?" โ€

Looking around, he couldn't find it, and Jiang Zai could only ask for help from the great intellectual brain madness.

"Humph! At this time, do you think of your sister? Although Miss Tsundere Zhibrain looked unhappy, but the two laws of Zhibrain were there, and she still had to contribute to the master, and quickly turned on the scanning function of the game warehouse and found the target: "There!" โ€

Jiang Zai held a high-powered telescope in his hand, looked into the distance, and then saw a "black iron dwarf".

It does look like it's the same as the other Black Iron Dwarves, but under the scanning of the game warehouse, it's easy to see the other party's disguise.

That guy didn't know what dye to use to blacken himself and disguised himself as a black iron dwarf!

He looked like "I am the Black Iron Dwarf", carrying a backpack, a mine hoe in one hand and a musket in the other, knocking here and there and seeing, and swaggering through the entire outdoor excavation site and into the cave!

Brian ...... You're so talented. โ€

Jiang Zai was speechless and raised his forehead, threw the invisibility potion he bought from Archmage Luo Ning to several panda people, and then entered a stealth state.
