Chapter Forty-Six: The Tenth Group of Scouts
The voice was hoarse and sharp, and it smelled like a sharp claw scratching his heart, and Derlandon hurriedly reined in his horse and followed the sound, only to see a Night Elf man coming out of the western edge of the forest. The man's limbs were slender, his face was pale and bloodless, as if he had not seen the light of day for a long time, and he was sickly.
Seeing this person, Luo Ning and Derlandon glanced at each other, slowly stood up, frowned and asked, "Excuse me, who is Your Excellency?"
This man is none other than Lelar, who has gone and returned.
Hearing Ronin's question, Lylar did not answer, but glanced back. At this moment, the bushes at the edge of the woodland parted automatically, and another Night Elf, who was more than two meters tall, walked out.
Seeing this person, Luo Ning's pupils involuntarily shrank, this person he knew, it turned out to be the night elf Great Druid, Vandal - Deer Helmet! The fourth-order druids of Azeroth are much rarer than the weavers, and it is likely that these two were the ones who fought here yesterday, but why do they seem to be on the same side now?
Luo Ning was looking down to think, and Vandal Deer Helmet said a little impatiently: "I didn't expect to meet His Excellency Luo Ning here, but I have something important to do, so I won't talk about the past."
With that, Vandal walked over with a big grin, and Lelar frowned and let go of his hands, then took it back after a little hesitation, and let Vandal step forward.
Looking at the domineering Great Druid, Ronin quietly took a step back.
Walking to the fangs, Vandal stretched out his right hand, spat out a cloud of green mist from his palm, and grabbed it. He didn't make direct contact, and when he was about an inch away, his palm stopped, and the mist poured out and wrapped the fangs, rapidly shrinking and condensing into a strange seed.
After some more induction, Vandal carefully picked up the seed, put it in a small leather pocket around his waist, and turned to leave, without looking at anyone the whole time.
"Lord Vandal." Luo Ning suddenly shouted, and Vandal stopped for a moment, but did not look back.
Luo Ning said to himself: "It is said that 10,000 years ago, the wolf god Godlin was cursed by Elune because of his disobedience to the moon god, and he could never turn into a human form. In order to escape this terrible curse, it shed a fang, which was later obtained by a group of Night Elf druids. ”
Hearing this, Lelar's face in the distance suddenly changed, and Vandal was still expressionless.
Ronin continued, "Those druids have developed a unique sickle-clawed wolf form based on the curse spell on the wolf's fangs, becoming bloodthirsty and cruel, and can also spread this curse spell. Later, their actions angered the Night Elf higher-ups, and they were captured by the leader, Malfurion-Fury, and sealed into the Emerald Dream Realm. ”
Luo Ning spoke eloquently, and Lelar's face became more and more gloomy.
Vandal sighed, "That's true, but it seems to be my Night Elf's internal business, what's wrong?" Is Dalaran interested in meddling? ”
After Vandal finished speaking, he stretched out his arms, turned into a colorful crow, and actually left, flying in the direction of Gilneth City.
Lelar Leng Sensen glanced at Luo Ning and the others, turned around and disappeared into the jungle.
Durandon only reacted at this time, and asked Luo Ning in disbelief: "You mean, that was the evil Godring's Tooth just now?"
Luo Ning's face was solemn and nodded, "Judging from the residual breath on that tooth, I think it is likely to be." ”
Durandon suddenly jumped to his feet and roared: "This time the Gilneth werewolf epidemic is raging, it is likely to be related to this legendary evil thing, since you know, how can you still let them take it away?!"
"Shh
Luo Ning put a finger to his mouth, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Didn't you hear what I just said?" I tried it with the method of the former Speaker Crassus, and the cursed breath in that tooth was gone, and what Vandal took away was nothing more than an ordinary wolf's tooth. ”
Derlandon was puzzled: "That's the curse of the moon god, how can it dissipate on its own?" If that's the case, all the werewolves should be restored. ”
Before Derlandon could finish speaking, a desolate wolf howl came from the depths of the jungle, and the two of them looked at each other, and their faces turned pale at the same time.
What's going on here?
They heard the wolf howl, and Vanessa heard it more clearly, for it was the strange black wolf who made the sound.
"Oh my God! Still not letting people sleep?" Vanessa also wailed, rolled over, and almost fell from the tree.
Woohoo......
By the small lake, the black wolf was still pulling its neck and howling to the sky, Vanessa finally collapsed, she took a deep breath, pulled her neck and screamed loudly to the lake: "Don't make noise! ”
The scream was at least 120 decibels, and the lake was stirred up with ripples, and the black wolf's mane stood on end, and he was so frightened that he shrank his neck and finally stopped howling.
Vanessa screamed, jumped off the tree, flashed towards the south shore of the lake, and ran for her life in the forest. The black wolf was stunned for a moment, jumped up and landed on the surface of the lake, and chased after the lake, without touching a drop of water.
On that day, at nightfall, south of Gilneth.
It's a small, abandoned village, with debris on the road and some of the broken corpses left over from wild beasts.
But today there were so many people here, in thousands, and thousands of wagons that the little village could not be accommodated, and the convoy formed a circle that surrounded the whole village.
The village had been cleaned, the bodies were buried outside the village, but the names of the men were not known, and there were no monuments to all the tombs.
After two days of trekking, Cheng Xiaotian led a convoy more than 100 kilometers into Gilneth territory, and the convoy was already filled with hundreds of trucks, and these people will be left here to wait for the team to turn back. With this as the first stop, the team will set up a base every 100 kilometers and form a line through the forest.
Such a move was actually quite bold and even arrogant, but since entering the territory of Gilneth, the convoy had not encountered any resistance, including the original military post was completely empty, and the entire outside of the Greymien Wall was completely undefended.
The operation went smoothly, and the refugees were all relaxed, but Cheng Xiaotian sat alone in the middle of the village, always thinking about something with his eyes closed.
After a while, the sound of horses' hooves came from the entrance of the village, and Lan Ya, who was dressed in white, led two horsemen to Cheng Xiaotian.
"Tell me about the road ahead." Cheng Xiaotian finally spoke, but his eyes didn't know where to focus.
"My lord, there is no one in sight, and there is no threat." When Lan Ya said this, her expression was quite complicated, there were no enemies, no villagers, and this vast forest had become a dead domain......
Cheng Xiaotian shook his head and asked, "Have all the scouts returned?" ”
Lan Ya turned her head to look at one of her subordinates, the officer thought for a while, and replied: "There are 10 groups of scouts in turn, and now 9 groups have returned, and nothing has been found, and the tenth group has not come back because it is to reconnoiter Maoer Mountain, the distance is relatively far, and the terrain is relatively complicated." ”
After listening to the officer's report, Cheng Xiaotian began to bow his head and think, seeing his demeanor, the three of them looked at each other, stopped talking, and quietly waited for orders.
"Is there a topographic map of Gilneth?" After a while, Cheng Xiaotian raised his head and asked.
"It can't be, but I drew one myself through the descriptions of the people along the way, and I can't guarantee the accuracy." The officer in charge of the scout replied, and after speaking, he took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and spread it in front of Cheng Xiaotian.
Cheng Xiaotian looked at the location of Maoershan pointed out by the officer, and his brows gradually locked. (To be continued.) )
