Chapter 53: The Plague Lands

Xu Mo waved his hand at several companions in mid-air, and saw the four griffins turn into a few small dots, before turning around and walking towards the red young dragon Tesmerissa. Although he had no sleep all night, he was in good spirits and successfully transferred to the second order, leaving his law body at its peak, and he didn't feel fatigue at all.

"Cole, aren't we going to take off right away?" Tesmerissa suddenly opened her mouth and spoke.

"You...... Can speak the continental lingua franca? Xu Mo looked at the red young dragon in amazement.

"It's true that underage young dragons rarely learn the ** continental lingua franca, but that doesn't mean we can't speak the continental lingua franca!" Terry Melissa shook her head in embarrassment.

"But when you were with us, you never spoke the lingua franca!" Xu Mo blinked, feeling a little confused.

“…… What's there! Tesmerissa raised a front paw over her head, covering her eyes and no longer looking at Xu Mo.

Looking at the virtue of the red young dragon, Xu Mo understood. In terms of Tesmerissa's age, she is about the same as a teenage girl in humans, and although the dragon is gifted, she is still a child. It is estimated that when Luo Ning and the others were there before, she was not too embarrassed to speak in front of everyone.

Now that everyone else is gone, and she is her temporary knight, she mustered up the courage to speak. Thinking of this, Xu Mo smiled, since he could communicate normally with Tesmerissa, he had some other ideas.

"I still have a little more to do, and I can't leave until I'm done." Xu Mo walked up to the red dragon and patted her on the head, "Tesmerissa, after you arrive at the Chapel of the Wish of Light, are you still willing to stay and continue to help me?" ”

“…… Cleostraz, don't let me follow you, and order me to return to the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep after I send you to your destination! Tesmerissa was silent for a moment, then finally said in frustration.

The red dragon didn't understand why Crassus was reluctant to let her stay in the Chapel of Light's Wish. To her, the undead of the Scourge are nothing more than skeletons and stinking meat. However, Xu Mo knew that it was not that Crassus was worried about Tesmerissa's safety, but that the cunning red dragon couldn't trust him.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter! However, since you know the lingua franca of the mainland, you should have heard our discussion last night clearly. A faint smile appeared on Xu Mo's face.

"Unless you Red Dragons leave behind your duty of guardianship, your companions will soon have to come out of the Dragon's Sleep Temple to participate in this war against the Scourge. Maybe before you can fly back to the Dragon Sleep Temple, you'll have to come back! ”

“…… Perhaps, I can hover around the Chapel of Light's Wish for a few days, and when the other Red Dragons bring Her Highness's order to join the battle, my father will no longer be able to order me to return to the Temple of the Dragon's Sleep! Tesmerissa's big eyes rolled and she blinked her long eyelashes slyly.

"Your father?" Xu Mo was slightly stunned.

"Yes, Cleo Ostraz is my father!" Tesmerissa tilted her head, a puff of green smoke erupted from her nostrils, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

"Oh?" This news surprised Xu Mo a little, he didn't expect that Tesmerissa was Crassus's daughter. So, her mother is the Queen of the Red Dragon? Compared with other red dragons, Tesmerissa, who has a immature face, actually has the identity of a royal daughter.

In fact, the dragon clan does not have the concept of a king and a queen, because the reproduction rate is extremely low, and the adult dragon clan attaches great importance to each descendant. It is also a common phenomenon for close relatives to get married or something. Malygos of the Blue Dragon Clan was slaughtered by Deathwing during the ancient war, and only then did he collapse for nearly 10,000 years, hiding in his lair and waiting for death.

When Grimbaatar dealt with Deathwing, Crassus used his hatred for Deathwing and the cost of some of the dragon's eggs to reawaken the fighting spirit of the blue magic dragon.

"Cole, what are you doing?" Tesmerissa curiously flicked a pile of firewood that Xu Mo had brought with her paws.

"Burn something!" Xu Mo pursed his lips, took out the remaining two dreadclaw eggs in the storage space and put them into the iron pot, and at the same time put some of the ingredients left by Luo Ning into it.

Originally, Xu Mo wanted Luo Ning to help him concoct the Dreadclaw Egg Liquid, but after the discussion last night, the mage was extremely worried about the fate of Dalaran. After dawn, he didn't want to stay for a moment, but left the magic items for blending, and let Xu Mo concoct the dreadclaw egg liquid by himself.

Cole ...... What are you burning? It tastes so good! Tesmerissa intoxicated took a deep breath at the iron pot, which smelled like plastic being ignited.

"No, are you sure it tastes good?" Xu Mo was embarrassed when he heard this, where did this smell good, the taste of the dragon clan was really strong enough.

"Uh-huh, is this for food?" Tesmerissa didn't know when she had come to the iron pot, and her nose puffed, inhaling all the smoke rising from the iron pot.

Looking at the little female dragon whose saliva was dripping on the ground, Xu Mo helplessly scooped her a scoop of dreadclaw egg liquid and put it on the ground. Anyway, it's an antidote, so I shouldn't have eaten this little female dragon to death.

"It's delicious!" The little female dragon pressed the wooden scoop with her front paws, licked and licked it with her tongue like a puppy, and shook her head at Xu Mozhi.

"I can't give it to you anymore, this thing is a very important antidote!" Seeing that the little female dragon finished licking the dreadclaw egg liquid in front of him, and looked at him with big eyes shining with stars, Xu Mo hurriedly packed the remaining dreadclaw egg liquid into the utensils left by Luo Ning for him, and put a total of eight bottles into his storage space.

"Hiccup, hiccup! Then...... are about to become legendary heroes, and ...... So stingy! "The little female dragon finished eating the dinosaur egg liquid and began to have a strange reaction. The eyelids of the big eyes drooped halfway, and he hiccuped a few times in his mouth, and after two staggering steps, a sneeze lit a bush next to him.

"Smack!" Tesmerissa pushed the golden mountain and fell to the ground, snoring loudly, and a little black smoke rose from her nostrils.

"Drunk!" Xu Mo watched this scene in surprise, and almost bit his tongue off.

"Wait, I remember, Luo Ning said that the red baby dragon can't breathe fire breath until at least its youth, could it be that the dreadclaw egg liquid still has a catalytic effect on dragon breath?" Standing in front of the burning bushes, Xu Mo touched his chin, and when he turned his head to look at Tesmerissa, his expression was already very ambiguous.

……

The Arathi Heights are the southwestern frontier of the northern continent of Lordaeron, across the valley from the Wilderness Wetlands, and also to the south of the Hinterland and Hillsbrad Hills. There was once a great human kingdom here, but it was destroyed in the Second Orc War. On its northwestern border is the Wall of Soladin, a massive wall that stretches across its northern border, once a symbol of human power and defense.

The climate of the Arathi Highlands is similar to that of the wilderness wetlands to the south, but its high altitude does not allow it to form a large number of swamps and wetlands. The main population of the Arathi Highlands is humans and Stonefist ogres, with humans making up the vast majority and living mainly near Fort Riptide, which was once the capital of the kingdom of Aratho.

Tesmerissa didn't sleep for long, and after the effects of the dreadclaw egg liquid had passed, she got up dizzily. Knowing what had happened to her, the little female dragon was almost too shy to hide her head under her wings, until Xu Mo urged her again and again, and then she was embarrassed to fly north with the stalker on her back.

The red dragon flew much faster than the griffon, and without the griffin holding back, it only took Tesmerissa half a day to fly out of the Arathi Heights and into Hinterland.

Hinterland is, as Kogan boasts, a beautiful valley woodland. Hinterland is surrounded by mountains that not only keep out the humidity of the Arathi Highlands, but also the Scourge in the north and the orc tribes in the south, preserving this rare paradise.

The dense deciduous forest is overwhelming, and judging by the tall and thick trees, this forest area is very old. Looking down from the sky, Xu Mo couldn't even see the scene in the forest. The Yago River runs through half of Hinterland and flows into the sea from the east. The roots and branches of the embankment are intertwined and stretch into the clear water, and the gentle slope is paved with fine pebbles, and there is a scene of tranquility everywhere.

If it weren't for the fact that time was too tight, Xu Mo really wanted to stop and play leisurely in Hinterland for a few days. After a day and a night of flying, he finally flew out of the northern mountains of Hinterland in the evening, and entered his final destination, the Eastern Plaguelands.

Entering the Eastern Plague Land, Xu Mo was immediately shocked by the harsh environment here. Compared to here, a scorched earth burning plain and barren land was simply heaven, at least the air there was not so much that Xu Mo felt suffocated.

The air near the ground in the Eastern Plaguelands was filled with a filthy, dull orange-red mist, like substance. The land that was occasionally revealed was filthy and rotten, littered with withered plants, and some of the muddy soil was half-exposed with animal and human bones. The vast Dalongmere Lake is extremely muddy and dirty, and the lake is full of dead fish with white bellies.

Xu Mo couldn't believe how the remaining humans in this land continued to survive. Bridget, the beautiful knight, once described to him the tragic situation of the plague land, but even if he saw this land contaminated by the undead plague with his own eyes, Xu Mo couldn't describe how he felt at this time.

"Maybe this kind of apocalyptic scene can only be seen in real-world movies!" Xu Mo touched his nose, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Flying over Lake Dalongmere, Xu Mo flew for a few more hours, and finally saw the tower-like spire of a majestic building before the sun completely set over the horizon.
