The early morning breeze swept the land of the Valley of Immortals, but the tension never lifted for the soldiers who were waiting in the fortifications. Even after a night of preparation, they were still nervous about the battle that would follow, because the battle to purify the Splendid Valley would begin in a few moments.
Brave warriors and paladins have built an impenetrable fortress in the territory of the Alliance, and no evil can harm them in the slightest under the blessing of pure and selfless light. The rangers from the Silver Covenant fiddle with arrows in their hands that are lightly misty, arrows strengthened by True Qi that will deal a fatal blow to the demon's minions.
The Horde's defenses are also impregnable, with an endless array of structures lined up under the skilled assembly of technicians, who are unaware of the pain and will prove their worth in the ensuing battles. For the elite of the Blood Elves' Spellbreakers, the battle with the Demon was just a short warm-up, and the powerful ones were very much looking forward to this kind of battle, which they had long been accustomed to.
The pandas who defended their homeland to the death fought alongside the Alliance and the Horde, and the warrior monks from the Shadow Trail Monastery were ready to reclaim the Splendid Valley with the blessing of the Supreme Celestial God. Coupled with the ancient artifact in the rear that is being continuously charged by dozens of great mages, this battle can be said to be without suspense.
The time for a general assault in a tense atmosphere finally came, and with the order of Lady Gianna, the long-awaited mage Kenrito activated the supreme artifact of the Wheel of Glory. The brilliant arcane storm surged into the corrupted lands like a roaring torrent, and all the otherwise endless ghosts and spirits in its path dissipated into invisibility under the baptism of the storm, and the mighty giant demons fell into a deep coma.
At this moment, the brave air force also came to the sky above the corrosive zone, and with tacit cooperation, they took advantage of the enemy's chaotic gap and began to carry out the task of indiscriminate bombardment. Carefully prepared arcane bombs continued to bloom in the demons under the precision of the grenadiers, and the violent and spectacular explosions continued to echo in the devastated land, and as the originally shattered crystals collapsed, it seemed that the damage inflicted on the land by the minions of the old gods was being cleaned up little by little.
But the plan could never keep up with the change, and just as the warriors soaring in the air lamented the power of their weapons, an overwhelming array of sinister arrows swooped down on them. The anti-aircraft fire of the sky and earth net caught them off guard and had no time to react, and countless blood-spattered figures fell quietly under the extremely painful wail.
"Hell! How did this group of deformities recover so quickly, and everyone immediately raised their heights with evasive actions! "The remnants of the air force under the decisive command of the captain had to leave the battlefield to avoid the attack, while the enraged demons began to launch a frenzied attack on their sworn enemies.
"It's troublesome, this group of ugly monsters can have such an efficient recovery speed..."The regent with a solemn face Lotherma quickly analyzed the situation in front of him and adjusted the tribe's defense line while analyzing the situation in front of him.
"Il, hurry up, leave it to us! Wait a little longer, and those guys will come up! …”
"Good luck to you! After a brief farewell, Lady Gianna joined the battle against the demons, and the journey of the Immortal Courtyard Guild to purify the Splendid Valley had just begun.
―Fairview Valley Underground Waterway―
The cold and damp bluestone floor was heard from time to time with the sound of water droplets, and the dark and gloomy corridor could not put everyone with torches at ease. Endless darkness filled the seemingly endless path of the beast ahead, and the collapse of the passage caused by the mad chieftain's brutality made the path of the young adventurers more and more difficult.
But this is not a big test for the battle-hardened adventurers, and after the initial apprehension, the warriors who have taken on a heavy responsibility have easily overcome the seemingly impossible difficulties. After passing through a long, narrow and dangerous passage, they finally came to the entrance of the underground waterways of the Splendid Valley, and it was here that a familiar figure who made them feel helpless had been waiting here for a long time.
"Ah, we're on an adventure together, my friends, only this time it's more critical."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Zhou Zhuo, and I hope you can also help us guide us this time." The people who had long been accustomed to this scene did not react much, after all, they knew very well that the strength of the traveling scholar in front of them was not as harmless as it looked.
"It is my pleasure, Lord Iresas, that the roar of hell has unleashed terror on our land, and these evil energies have caused the land of the Valley of Immortality to become the devastation it is now, and even the trees that bloom forever have begun to wither and die..."
"Please don't be sad, we will restore this Valley of Immortality to its former glory."
"Come, my friend, and let our mad and tyrannical chief have something else in store for us! Under the leadership of traveling scholar Zhou Zhuo, the people of the Immortal Courtyard began to continue to move towards the depths of the energy pool, but the situation in front of them was much beyond their expectations.
"Damn, those Jinyu people are no longer saved..."Seeing that the elder Jinyu people who used to defend the water source to the death have become puppets of evil demons, the people who feel guilty can only do their best to give them a belated rest. However, after freeing the poor group of wise men, an unexpected discovery surprised everyone, and the family mark on one of the corpses suddenly made them think of a trough cake.
"This mark is exactly the same as the one on Ciri's body, could it be that these people are his family!"
"No wonder he was so excited after hearing that the roar of hell had destroyed the Splendid Valley, and even took the initiative to ask to join the battle of the Second Regiment, was this the reason? …”
"Damn, don't do anything stupid with that idiot!"
"It's alright, Rokun. The brothers of the second regiment will take care of him, now let's move on! At the president's command, everyone chose to let go of their grief and move on, because the final destination, the pool of energy, was at hand.
"Is this the corrupted water elemental? What a horror! Looking at the huge water element in front of them, everyone couldn't help but sigh, the last time they met such a big elemental creature was Lei Shi who played peek-a-boo with them in Yongchun Terrace.
"That's right, young adventurers. Once upon a time, the Titans used this fountain of creation to create all life on Pandaria. It is these springs that make the Splendid Valley flourish and perpetuate, and the springs that flow into the Valley of the Four Winds create the most fertile arable land in the world..."
"Now the malice of the Elder Gods has produced an incomparably evil entity in this spring—Imesus!"
"Destroy it... Before it dips into the land and corrupts all of Pandaria! …”
Just as the people of the Immortal Guild were about to purify the water source of Pandaria, the corrupted water elemental in front of them also sensed their arrival, and with a flick of Illus's giant hand, several huge water balls roared towards them. Unfortunately, this kind of "greeting" is too small in front of the prepared warriors, and the impassable shield wall and the barrier of holy light make these "greeting gifts" full of evil energy as fragile as the stink bombs used in children's pranks.
"I'll leave it to Lux for now, don't let this big guy's attention be diverted elsewhere. Gramme, you need to be safe while healing, the environment here can be a bit of a problem for us to fight. Everyone else is always aware of their surroundings, and this big guy's tricks can't be all there is! Under the command of the leader, the battle of the Immortal Courtyard began in an orderly manner, but the next scene was beyond all of their expectations.
With this unwilling roar, Imessus, who had been fighting with adventurers before, suddenly disappeared inexplicably, and the sudden entry made everyone fall into a momentary stunned. Fortunately, the experienced ones quickly recovered from this strange change, and the vigilant crowd began to talk about the next move.
"What's going on, this monster is so weak, I didn't even warm it up before it collapsed!" This is Hill, a warrior who has recently joined a regiment, and with his unremitting efforts, he finally got his wish to marry the orc shaman Mia on Immortal Island.
"Don't be careless, Ciel. Have you forgotten your duty as a defensive warrior, or are you still indulging in the sweetness of your honeymoon? ”
"I'm sorry, Lord Lux!" As the main T (main tank) of the regiment, the werewolf warrior Lukes with a steady personality values this new kid. As an instructor, he could see at a glance the potential of this young junior, and of course it would be even more perfect if he could change the personality of this stinky boy.
"Alas, I suddenly feel sorry for my sister, it's really hard to marry such an unobtrusive guy..."As the eldest brother-in-law, Horton's casual ridicule was only exchanged for the dwarven priest's forehead sigh, and she felt helpless that she knew that her dead husband would definitely not be able to escape his sister's unbearable "abuse" today.
At this moment, the pool of water that had been calm boiled again, and everyone who sighed that it was like this returned to the state of battle again. But they didn't expect that Imesus actually didn't play according to the routine and split countless pieces of ooze of different colors, and as soon as these oozes fell to the ground, they began to kill each other frantically.
"Why are those black ooze monsters so desperate to devour their kind, could it be that those blue oozes are the essence of Imesus?" After a moment of thought, President Iresas finally understood that this water elemental was using this method to expel the evil energy from the body, and that the ooze full of evil energy would never let this happen.
"Everyone attack those black ooze monsters, don't let them get close to their own kind, all healing units are doing their best to heal the blue ooze monsters, they may be the key to purifying the water source!" Unfortunately, the leader's reminder was still a step too late, and with the return of the blue ooze monster, the huge body of Ilmessus reappeared in front of everyone.
The reorganized water elemental seemed to have some tricky means than just now, and the evil energy arrows that appeared from time to time made everyone feel flustered. What really made them unguarded was the black pool of water that appeared at everyone's feet, and if it weren't for the vice president, who had noticed something strange before, to remind them to disperse and keep an eye on their feet, I am afraid that many of them would have been hit hard by this.
The hard-fought battle became lighter with the start of the second division, and the people who had figured out each other's weaknesses began to skillfully clean up the black ooze of the division. It's just that what they didn't expect was that whether they killed those black oozes or treated the blue ooze, the final result was an inexplicable explosion, but fortunately, the experienced healers kept the entire team still strong in combat.
After the split, Illusus began an even more frantic attack, and the desperate water elemental even extracted the essence from his body and turned into a raging torrent that sprayed at them. But for everyone who had already seen through everything, such an attack could only show that the water element in front of them was already at the end of their strong crossbow, and after easily avoiding the opponent's stiff attack, they finally ushered in the dawn of victory.
With the last of the rampaging ooze monsters that had split out and cleaned them up, Ilmessus reappeared in front of everyone, and this time it was no longer mad and bloodthirsty. Soft and gentle chirps echoed in the ears of adventurers, as if the reborn water elemental was expressing his gratitude in this way.
The cool spring water flowed through the adventurer's body, and the pain and fatigue caused by the battle just now were completely swept away by the water. And with the return of the guardian of the valley, the corruption of the Valley of the Immortals was finally stopped in time, and the raging demons began to gradually fall apart under the counterattack of the Alliance and the Horde.
"Ah, you made it. The water is pure again! Can you feel their creative energy flowing through your body? It may take a long time to heal Fairview Valley, but you give us hope..."
"It's our honor, Lord Zhou Zhuo, but I think we'd better hurry up and help Gianna and them..."
"Young adventurers, your feat has saved not only this beautiful sacred place but also the entire life of Pandaria, so please accept its gratitude!" The loot that had been silent in the underground tunnels for countless years finally found its owner again, and with the help of Illusus, the exit to the outside appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
After a short break, the brave and fearless adventurers once again embark on a journey to purify the Splendid Valley, but what they did not expect was a torturous battle that awaited them.
