Volume 4 Plateau Funeral Song Chapter 76 Thousand Needles Stone Forest

There's a reason why the Colorado Plateau was designated as a trial site for the Sacrifice of the Scepter during the Beamon Sacrifice. From Durontal, the plateau rises high above the ground like a roof. The surface is crisscrossed by ravines and criss-crossed by flowing water, which converges to form the Colorado River, which flows into the Aegean Sea in the middle of the continent.

The Colorado Plateau is a semi-barren area, with little trees except for clusters of groves growing near the current, and the only trees that grow high in the sun are exposed to the sun, except for a huge and tenacious thorn that grows. This thorn has branches the size of the trunk of a century-old tree, and the huge rattan grows on the ground without clinging, twisting and growing into a pile like a snake, and the gap formed between the vines has become the best shelter for the natives of the plateau.

The plateau also lives with natives, but the land is divided and the thorn bushes are separated, and the natives of the plateau have a unique neighborhood relationship - each sweeps the snow in front of the door, and does not care about the frost on the tiles of others. Except for the harpy who can fly, and the earth elves with amazing foot strength, there are few other tribes that have the opportunity to see other tribes.

For the travelers of the highlands, these two indigenous groups are very annoying.

Harpye's harpies flew through the air, screeching as they pounced on the travelers to plunder their belongings, the wind bracing their wings to give them agility, often before the people could react, and the marauders had howled away.

The land spirits bother travelers in another way. They are highland-walking foot merchants, carrying heavy loads of goods and soliciting business with warm and cordial greetings. The land spirits are often overzealous, and if they meet any traveler, they will think that business is coming to them, and they will follow them with perseverance, and persuade them to buy or exchange their goods in small words. Often, the land spirits were able to exchange things that were common on the plateau and that outsiders could not think of in exchange for valuable items or coins. This kind of sales business of land spirits will always make people grit their teeth and curse these robbers, but the things exchanged are often useful, so that no one will destroy these land spirits as robbers.

However, the interesting thing is that the two plateau natives are feuding, and the hatred between these two lives is that the two races treat the "sawtooth wattle" on which they depend for their survival in different ways. The harpies build their nests on the sawtooth wattle, and the land elves plant parasites in the roots of the sawtooth to draw its nutrients. Aside from sharing a common habit of looting, the two races, one soars through the skies and the other digs underground, so neither has ever defeated the other.

Of course, these two races are not a threat to the strong Beamon, not to mention the strength of the Beamon Scepter Sacrifice, and the Colorado Plateau, as a trial place for the Scepter Sacrifice, has its own existence that can be used as their trial opponent.

Yes, Warcraft.

This plateau is a labyrinth of many magical beasts gathering or wandering in those ravines, and people never know what kind of existence they will encounter at the next corner. In short, here, what you meet around the corner will not be love.

And our protagonist, Ouyang, walks towards Durontar's door to this labyrinth and begins their journey.

Thousand Needles Stone Forest.

Ouyang stayed in Witherton for three days, and then said goodbye to his ancestor Viena embarked on a trial journey, except for the Bill Black Bear Knight Cullen, who was interested in becoming Ouyang's follower and inspecting his future adult, the four girls around Ouyang followed him without exception, and in the face of Ouyang's refusal, the reason given by the four women made Ouyang speechless.

"Lu Kai, as your mentor, I should observe your trial, and this trial also has a part of me, I don't worry about my apprentice going on an adventure alone!"

Then your mentor is relieved that you are going. Ouyang looked at his mentor and his mentor's mentor, and swallowed his words.

"As your wife, I should share the ups and downs with you, the 'Gemini Enchantment' is the best witness and test of the relationship between the sea god and the queen of the sea to us, Lukey, we should face everything together. The mermaid princess Miriam said righteously, but the movement of her dragging Ouyang's hand and the expression on her face were full of coquettishness.

Her words and deeds caused the little ferret to roll her eyes.

Ouyang sighed, unintentionally arguing.

"Luke, following the will of the Elders, I, as your follower, face the adventure and abandon my responsibilities as a follower, the glory of the forest elves makes it impossible for me to do it. The forest elf Lalandia stared at Ouyang and said this, but her tone did not have the consciousness that as a follower, she should obey the will of adults.

Ouyang stared at the ranger, nodded, and did not refuse, to rebuild the elven empire, he needed the will of other elves except the night elves, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Lord Lukey, as your slave, I should always follow in your footsteps, forsaking my master would bring the glory of House Wryon to shame. At this time, little Denise also stepped forward.

Don't you think you're disgraced by becoming Beamon's slave? Ouyang was angry, what kind of women were around him!

"Okay, okay, let's all go together!" Ouyang nodded helplessly in agreement, in fact, he didn't worry about leaving these women in Witherton, everything was due to that lustful eighth prince.

"Gala Gala!" Hearing Ouyang nod, Kaka, who had not moved, jumped onto Ouyang's shoulder with a cry of joy.

"The only thing I can help you with is the six-headed Wyvern. "Only Vienna showed normal concern as expected by her elders.

Ouyang shouted in his heart, Master, what I hope most is that you can accompany me!

Unfortunately, this is just an expectation, and no mentor can interfere with the apprentice's trial, with the exception of perhaps the unfortunate child of Hogarth.

In this way, a family of six people and four beasts embarked on Ouyang's trial road. After nearly ten days of flying from Vissetun, he arrived at the source of the minerals of the Bimon Kingdom, which was actually a Thousand Needles Stone Forest controlled by the dwarves.

The Beamon garrison stationed in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest had already received a notice from the temple that there was a sacrifice to the Colorado Plateau for trial, and was ready to welcome the future "Scepter Sacrifice".

Ouyang and the others approached the camp under the leadership of the sentry, and in front of the neat Bill clan Han was greeted by a short and long-bearded old man wearing a black sacrificial robe.

As far back as he could remember, all the scepter sacrifices were dressed in black, except for his beautiful ancestor. Indeed, among Beamon's scepter sacrifices, only Vienna was dressed in emerald green, and the other sacrifices were dressed in sacrificial robes befitting their status.

"Lord Hogarth, Lord Luke, this is Lord Eric, the Scepter Priest stationed at the Thousand Needles Camp. A sentry reminded softly.

"Haha, a raccoon man!" Cullen in the back laughed when he saw the raccoon sacrifice.

The sentry stealthily glanced at the big black man of his kind, who was laughing loudly, and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.

In addition to a few strong races such as the strong black bear people and brown bear people, there are other small races such as raccoon people and koala bear people. Expressions such as "haha, a raccoon" and "haha, a koala bearman" in the Bill are the way these strong Bills greet the petite Bill, similar to "Haha, a little ghost".

"Lord Eric, this is Lord Hogarth and Lord Luke, they are the sacrifices of this trial. The brown bear sentry reported with a smile in his face.

"Well, yes, it's really a 'genius line', and he accepted the trial of the scepter sacrifice at a young age, and he is worthy of being a disciple of Lord Vienna. Eric the raccoon man reached out and touched his long beard on his chest, and looked at the two visitors with satisfaction in his eyes. But when his eyes swept over Kulun, who was standing high behind, two fine lights suddenly burst out in his eyes: "Big Black Library, your mouth is still so black!"

The word "black mouth" comes from the Doug people, and the original phrase "black mouth dog" is to scold the mouth for being unclean. (PS: I remember when I was a child, there was a witty saying "black-mouthed dogs, stealing and not being ashamed")

"Ai little ghost, you have a long beard and sell old people there, you kid is younger than me. Cullen didn't pay any attention to the other party's words, but laughed again.

"Hmph. Eric paused for a staff taller than him in his hand, and didn't answer, he couldn't understand why Cullen talked so much when facing him, because the Bill Black Bears were notoriously straightforward.

"Lord Eric, I think you're mistaken, we're here for the trial of the War Sacrifice, not the Scepter Sacrifice. Huo Jiasi said respectfully.

"The trial of the war sacrifice? you are still a soul sacrifice, how did you come to this high plain to be tested?" The anger on the raccoon man's round face suddenly vanished, and his bearded face was shocked by surprise, and two or three of them fell apart from the round jaw.

"I don't even have the title of Wind Whisper Sacrifice. Ouyang touched his nose embarrassedly, after all, it wasn't because of himself that he encountered such "preferential treatment".

"What's going on? Are you in the wrong place?" said Eric's head to the Bill clan.

"They weren't wrong, it's just that this kid annoyed the old guys in the temple. Cullen opened his mouth to solve his old friend's doubts.

"Poor boy, come in. Eric sighed and ushered the group into the camp.

Over the years, the temple has changed, and it is actually the "balance" of the courtiers of the imperial capital!

The tall Bill men got out of the way, revealing a row of housemen and horse archers behind them, who also fired a round of arrows into the sky as a welcome ceremony to welcome the arrival of the two priests.

In fact, from the arrangement of the soldiers here, it can be seen that the empire is not at ease with the dwarves here. The Bills are known among the Bimon as strong men and are one of the few races that can suppress the strength of the dwarves. The House were a race rich in archers, apparently to protect against harpies flying in the sky. Moreover, there is also a Scepter Sacrifice Ground, generally speaking, only one War Sacrifice will be sent to stay in Beamon's camp, and a Scepter Sacrifice is enough to show the importance that the Empire attaches to this mine.

Eric also chose to leave the temple and stay in this desolate place because he was not used to the current state of the temple, after all, when the Bills here yelled "Haha, a raccoon man" to their faces, at least they didn't have those intrigues in their stomachs.
