After losing the army of the undead to the human legion.

Locke let the nightmare horse under him full speed, and Sylvanas next to him sat on the horse indifferently, not communicating with Locke at all, in fact, after relieving his breath, Locke took out the black ball he had just captured.

According to Locke's memory, this small black ball was not an ordinary ornament, but a kind of shadow energy gathering, and if it weren't, Locke would feel a little at a loss.

After all, it was at the risk of being abandoned by Sylvanas just now that he got this little black ball.

The undead are notoriously fond of holding grudges, and these undead spirits who are influenced by resentment and revenge will definitely lock Locke to death, because of this level of provocation against the Scourge Legion, Locke is still the first.

Locke touched the black ball with his hand, the black ball emitted a lilac shimmer, the surface was smooth like a handful of eggs, and the faint shadow energy slowly penetrated into Locke's body.

On Locke's retina, the small black ball was quickly analyzed.

"Shadow Light Ball"

“???”

"There is no rank, no other attributes, just a lonely name."

This made Locke feel very shocked, but then there was a burst of ecstasy, this kind of can't be determined by the system, it can generally be a good thing. Generally speaking, in Locke's memory, there was nothing that the system could not identify, unless it was not Azeroth.

Obviously, this Shadow Orb might be something from the Shadow Realm.

It could also be an artifact-level goodie.

It is generally impossible for an artifact to be worn by a high-level necromancer, but it can be thought of in a different way, and it is also possible that it is just a very rare material? The shadow energy fluctuations revealed from this shadow orb made Locke feel a vague sense of horror, and in Locke's memory, these huge energy sources were actually edible.

Although Locke didn't know what the consequences of eating the Shadow Orb in his hand would be, Locke still planned to eat it, because he felt that the Shadow Orb in front of him would definitely outweigh the disadvantages if he ate it.

The light purple shadow energy light pulsed on the orb, and then spread to Locke's arm, and then an electronic voice came from Locke's ears: "You are corrupted by shadow energy, and you reduce your health by 1% every thirty seconds. ”

"Is it really the Shadow Source?" Locke looked at the Shadow Orb in his hand, which was emitting Shadow Energy and was lying quietly in Locke's hand.

Similar to this source of elemental energy, it can greatly increase the basic attributes of the eater, but some elemental attributes will cause a lot of damage in the eater's body, which also leads to the fact that even if the elemental energy source can increase the attribute points, there are still many people who do not plan to eat the elemental source.

This kind of thing is so rare that Locke had seen it in the Necromancer's Codex in Ebon Fortress, and these rare elemental energies were absolutely valuable.

A black gas slowly rose from the Shadow Orb.

Locke's face changed drastically, this black gas was a tracking spell used by high-level lichs to lock down places. In order not to let Kel'thugad know his whereabouts.

Locke swallowed the Shadow Orb directly, and since he ate it, Locke didn't worry about Kel'thugad still being able to lock on to his position.

…………

Sodoril River

Kel'thugad looked at the Lordaeron legion not far away with a gloomy face, the ghouls had been defeated, and these fragile low-level undead could simply be described as a defeated army when facing the formed legion of Lordaeron.

Syllable! The brilliance of the spell in Kel'thugad's hand dissipated, and he said with a grim expression, "The Shadow Orb has been used. ”

Baron Rivendell, who was beside him, looked a little embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice, "The ritual of summoning demons must be postponed. ”

"I don't understand why Locke would know where the Orb of Shadow is."

Kel'thugad walked to the edge of the cliff, half-lichified by this time, and although he still had some remnants of human consciousness, it was probably only used to maintain the magic he had learned from Dalaran.

"Rivendell, I give you an order, and that is at all costs."

"Bring Locke back, he not only has the power that the Scourge needs in the future, but also the residual energy of the Shadow Orb in his body."

………………

A huge wave of shadow energy was huge in Locke's body.

It didn't taste good, it was like a bomb exploding in the abdomen, but the muscles of the copy didn't burst, but the feeling of explosion made Locke very unhappy.

However, the effect was to comfort Locke, increasing his strength by 2, his constitution by 3, and his base damage by 10% for each spell that mobilized the Shadow Energy.

This means that Locke's attack power has increased again.

Locke and the elven troops headed in the direction of the Psychic Academy.

Although the Shadow Orb was eaten and Kel'thugad had a slim chance of finding himself, it could not be ruled out that the Scourge would have detected the ghost, after all, the Western Plaguelands had completely fallen into the Lich King's control.

If Locke were caught by the Scourge Legion, one could imagine what kind of torture he would be subjected to.

There are many ways for Kel'thugad to torture people, at least among Naxxramas, Locke has seen many people who can't survive under Kel'thugad's torture, and can't die.

Time passed quickly.

In Locke's plan, the rotten moss tribe is waiting for him in the mountains not far away, but the thing that bothers Locke even more is what if he waits for the elves and trolls to meet, these rotten moss trolls are the family that Locke managed to get out of the territory of Lordaeron, and it is a headache for Locke to be reimbursed by the elves in this way.

It was getting dark.

Locke said goodbye to Sylvanas just now, because he wasn't sure about Sylvanas's attitude towards the forest trolls, but as a ranger general, Locke probably wouldn't have a good attitude.

In this way, it is better to separate directly, and after Locke explained to Sylvanas that Lordaeron in the east could find reinforcements from the Silver Hand, he walked alone in the direction of the Psychic Academy.

He carefully avoided the undead in the forest, when these undead appeared in the forest or on the ridge, he immediately avoided them, and when Locke ate hard jerky, he even let the ghouls watch for himself, although these low-level undead did not have the function of thinking, but the ghosts mixed in it may report to Kel'thugad.

When Locke fooled Sylvanas into going to Eastern Lordaeron, he had already lured the army of the undead to Eastern Lordaeron, so that even if Uther wanted to delay the purification of the Western Plaguelands, he would have to face the wrath of the king and the accountability of the elves.
