The smell in the cavern was terrible, but Hogg was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood and spirits, which mixed with the turbid air in the cavern and became extremely disgusting, but under Hogg's reminder, Shanlin and Rayco also noticed the smell that had been cut off at the entrance to the mine.

In the face of such conclusive evidence, Shang Lin was stunned, he came to the collapsed area in confusion, and kept knocking on the rocks and dirt, as if trying to find a secret passage from it, he said to himself in disbelief: "But how did they pass through this thick layer of sand and earth? ”

"It's a confusing question, but we've got a clue!" Hogg said confidently, and its movements were not slow at all, only the huge gnolls he found used his hands and feet together, in a posture that was about to overturn the ground, digging towards the bottom of the mine.

"Stay away! Don't let me bury you! Hogg let out a deafening laugh, and remembered the old days when he was a child, when he was in the Elwyn Forest with other gnoll cubs, who had not enough to eat, and the termite nests were too small for the adult gnolls to feed them, so the cubs could get this rare delicacy as a snack.

Hogg's memories were soon interrupted by the unusual touch of the claws, which felt a sudden emptiness under its claws, and then heard the sound of "rustling" from the sand and gravel collapsing and flowing, and as the earth collapsed, a large underground space close to the size of Yuna below Maladon appeared in front of Hogg.

"Look what I found!" Hogg said proudly, and Shang Lin and Reco, who were attracted by the huge movement here, were also dumbfounded when they saw this underground space of this scale.

After all, Rako was a little older than Shang Lin, so he regained his composure more quickly, and he immediately remembered the missing villagers of Greenstone Village, so he asked, "Were those villagers brought into this underground world?" ”

"The underworld? That's not true! But the villagers are here—somewhere in this subterranean space! Hogg shook his head, perhaps because of the underground river, the smell began to become chaotic when it reached this underground space, but Hogg still found the traces left by the pandaren villagers.

Through the negativity in the air, Hogg took Rako and Shanglin to jump between the underground rivers, and soon found the pandaren villagers who had been captured by the forest spirits, these villagers were obviously frightened enough by the crazy forest spirits around them, and the fear in their hearts gathered to form a black air mass that was constantly rotating and twisting.

Of course, this kind of negative emotion that is about to be transformed into evil energy is still only a prototype, not to mention mortals, even the Supreme Celestial God may miss this thin air mass for a while, but it is conspicuous enough for Hogg now.

Hogg put Recco and Shanglin into the empty cavern on the side, and it itself went into a stealthy state, feeling in the direction of the forest spirit and the pandaman.

"The state of these forest spirits is not normal, it's just that they don't have much evil energy on them!" Hogg crept closer to the forest spirits guarding the pandamen, and it looked at the forest spirits who had attacked the pandaren villagers and carried them all the way underground, and it could see that although the forest spirits were in some strange state of euphoria, they were not affected by the evil energy.

According to what Hogg learned from Shi Bu's memories, these elemental creatures called forest spirits are small nature spirits, and they are not uncommon in the forests of Pandaria, although they are extremely weak in individual strength and low intelligence, they have extremely terrifying numbers, and they are an extremely important part of maintaining the natural order of Pandaria.

Of course, these forest spirits in front of Hogg's eyes at this time are obviously outliers among the forest spirits, in fact, the forest spirits in Pandalia have always been famous troublemakers, and their hobby is to engage in some harmless pranks, such as making the woodcutters who cut down trees lose their way, but they have never taken the initiative to attack the pandaren, even Shibu has never heard of the forest spirits organizing a premeditated attack on the pandaren village.

"It's not an evil energy, but it can make Lin Jing crazy, what could it be?" Hogg said secretly in his heart, vaguely feeling in his heart that the thing that caused all this was somewhat familiar, but then it let out a low sneer: "Whatever he is!" I'm not one of those supreme gods, so I don't need to care about the life or death of these forest spirits! ”

Obviously, Hogg's sneer made the forest spirits who were guarding the panda people notice, after all, Hogg did not suppress his voice, so the forest spirits immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

"Who is it?" "Over there!" "No, it should be over there! The forest spirits chirped, their voices were sharp and piercing, but Hogg sneered, but he still remained stealthy, so although these forest spirits knew that someone was nearby, they could not find Hogg in the sneak, and could only look around in disbelief.

And this is exactly what Hogg wants, although the strength of these forest spirits is not worth mentioning in Hogg's opinion, but the pandaren villagers who are captured by them may have a different opinion, if Hogg makes a rash move, it is very likely to kill the captives and guards together, so Hogg must act carefully, it decided to rescue most of the villagers first, and then do something to these strange forest spirits.

So while Lin Jing was looking around, but didn't notice the panda man captives behind him, Hogg summoned a huge force field shield in the shape of a hemispherical shape, isolating the captured panda people from Lin Jing.

By the time the forest spirits realized that the situation was wrong, it was already too late, they could not pose the slightest threat to the pandaren captives behind the shield, and Hogg no longer concealed his figure, it appeared in front of the forest spirits, and with a few sweeps of the thorns thrown by the forest spirits like rain, it swept these fragile and noisy little things away.

Hogg's attack did not use all his strength, so the forest spirits who were sent out could still stand up, but knowing the difference in strength, they did not dare to approach Hogg again, so they could only hide in the distance unwillingly, watching Hogg release the panda people captives one by one: "Villagers, don't be nervous, I'm here to save you!" ”
