Chapter 127: Kalimdo's Travels
Originally a dense tropical jungle, the Tanaris region was transformed into a desert by an earth-shattering change in ancient times.
There are hardly any plants to be seen in the entire desert area except for cacti, and the scorching sun shines directly on the earth, and you can feel the scorching heat even when you step on the sand through a layer of leather boots.
According to the information given by the barrage, the location of Sarayan and Valli** Lu is the hot sand port that will be established by the goblins in the future.
They just had to follow the base of the hill and soon find the junction into the Shining Plains.
Growing up in the ever-singing forest, Valera and Salian are very unaccustomed to the extreme climate of Tanaris.
Originally, Salian wanted to set off on foot, looking for trouble with the Sandfury Trolls along the way, and gaining a little more experience.
But Valera was adamantly against this, and she didn't want to stay in this hot desert for a moment.
Transforming into a bird of prey (dragon) and carrying Valeera on her way, Salian headed straight north over the mountain peaks and into the Glittering Plains of the Thousand Needles Forest.
The Plains of Glitter is arguably one of the most barren areas in Azeroth.
Looking down from the sky, the gray-white earth stretches to the horizon, and there is no end in sight, and there are no plants in the entire wasteland, and the species that live here are more monotonous than in the desert area.
Although the Shining Plains are very barren, they are actually very economically valuable.
The entire glittering plain is a vast bed of salt lakes, which, in short, produces salt.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that salt is an important resource that any race needs.
Once the salt is deficient, the human body will have obvious negative symptoms, including dizziness and fatigue, poor diet, nausea and vomiting, etc., and in severe cases, it can even lead to shock and coma.
That is to say, the area around the Thousand Needles Stone Forest and Tanaris is really uninhabitable, otherwise the glittering plain with huge salt content will inevitably become a battleground for the major races of Kalimdor.
Salian and Valilla didn't stop much in the Flash Plains, finding their way to the canyon area of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest.
Flying high would save them a lot of trouble, at least the two of them would not have to pay attention to the group of centaurs on the ground howling and demonstrating with hyenas.
Centaurs are a species unique to Kalimdor and are said to be descendants of the forest demigod Senarius.
The centaurs are descendants of Cenarius's son Zarta and earth princess Cerdres, who did not inherit the nature-loving nature of Cenarius, nor did they inherit the heaviness and composure of the earth element.
As if genetically mutated, centaurs are brutal and cruel by nature, and will voluntarily raid all creatures that come within their range.
According to the barrage, the ancestor of the centaurs killed their father Zarta with his own hands, thus angering the princess of the land, Sedles, who has a deep relationship with Zarta.
Sedreth drove all the centaurs out of Maladon, and never again had contact with these treacherous and cruel children, and guarded the undissipated soul of Zarta alone in Maladon.
Centaurs are social creatures with the body of a horse and the upper body of a humanoid creature, and are naturally good at running and have excellent endurance.
Any creature that is targeted by them is usually inescapable.
With great mobility and good combat effectiveness, the centaurs are rampant in the middle of Kalimdor.
The aborigines of the desolate land, the Minotaurs, are overwhelmed, they can't run away if they want to, they can't catch up with the centaurs who want to fight but can't keep up with the speed of the centaur turning like the wind.
In terms of frontal combat effectiveness, the tall and strong Minotaur is undoubtedly above the centaurs.
But no matter how powerful the attack is, it is only a waste of effort to miss the target.
The Galak Centaurs of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest are one of the five great centaur tribes, having fled here after failing to compete with other tribes in the Bleaklands.
The barren Thousand Needles Stone Forest could not support many people, and the number of Galak centaurs was naturally small.
In addition to the centaurs, Saljan and Valilla spotted a number of boar men as they skimmed through the sky.
These wild boars are the dominant species in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest and the Barren Lands.
Although the boar people are weak individually, their reproductive ability is very strong, and the brutal centaurs will not benefit in front of the overwhelming wild boar people.
As they flew over the Thousand Needles Forest, Salaen and Valeera were unsurprisingly attacked by a bipedal wyvern and a harpy in the air.
Harpies are native to Kalimdor, an all-female species with a humanoid head and body, and raptor-like winged claws on their limbs.
This creature is cunning by nature, and as a flying species, it can come and go, making it difficult to guard against.
Moreover, the Harpys can use some simple magic and are extremely territorial and will be hunted down by them if they come within range.
Regarding the origin of the eagle man, the barrage is also a matter of opinion.
Some people say that the Harpy was once a female night elf in ancient times, but was cursed for angering Queen Azhara and was transformed into the half-human, half-bird form it is now.
It is also said that the Harpy was a family member of Avina, the mother of all birds, and after Avina fell, he lost his guidance and gradually fell like the Boar Man.
After accidentally invading into the territory of the Harpies, it took a lot of effort for Saljan and Valilla to break free from their entanglement, and on the way out, they were unlucky enough to encounter another group of Sky Overlords.
Wyvern.
Fortunately, Salian had an idea and played a little clever trick to divert each other's attention to each other.
Both flying species in the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, the Hippogriff and the Bipedal Wyvern have formed a lot of hatred because of territorial disputes.
The enemy was naturally very angry when they met, and both sides thought that the two Sarren were scouts sent by the other party to spy on intelligence.
Once again, the Hippogriffs and Wyverns were in the air, and Saljan found a gap and slipped out, with only a handful of pursuers following behind, and the rest of their species were busy crushing the enemy on the frontal battlefield.
"Whew~ finally got rid of it."
Arriving at the junction of the Thousand Needles and Firath, Salaan finally descended from the sky and worked with Valera to sweep away the harpies and bipedal wyverns.
As mentioned before, the Rajan's Raptor form is only in its own form and does not have combat effectiveness, and it cannot fight the enemy in the air, but can only lead the enemy to the ground and fight again.
The Thousand Needles Stone Forest is a barren canyon, but the neighbouring Firas region is teeming with life.
This trip to Kalimdor gave Salian and Valera a lot of insight.
Hippogriffs, centaurs, boars, and wyverns are all things that have never been seen before in the Eastern Kingdoms, and the two of them really have a sense of fun exploring the unknown.
After camping for one night in the lowland wilderness marked on the map, the two of them woke up early the next morning and continued their journey.
With the previous experience of being chased and beaten in the air of the Thousand Needles Stone Forest, after entering the Firas area, Sarren, who did not have the ability to fight in the air, did not dare to take off at will anymore.
Filas is a tropical jungle nestled in a valley with a warm, humid climate and abundant rainfall, in contrast to the barren Thousand Needles Forest and the Tanaris Desert.
In addition to the wildlife species commonly found in the tropics, the Firas region is also home to a number of creatures and intelligent species that are endemic to Kalimdo.
Heading west by land, Sarayan and Valera were glad not to have recklessly continued their flight.
From time to time, swarms of horned eagle beasts flew through the sky, and occasionally a strange species called the Elven Dragon could be seen.
Despite its name, this species is not related to either elves or dragons.
They are an intelligent, articulate magical creature that is naturally immune to all types of magic, and is an ally of the Night Elves, who have always been kind to the creatures of the wilderness.
The appearance of the elven dragon looks very dreamy, and when the wings with a wing membrane are flapped, they will sway colorful powder, and the appearance is also quite pleasing, and it looks stupid and cute.
When she saw the first elven dragon, Valeera's eyes lit up and she wanted to get close to it.
Luckily, Salian grabbed her.
These intelligent mischievous creatures are not to be messed with, and if they are accidentally provoked by their anger, the elven dragon wielding a variety of magic will show its cruel side to its enemies.
[It is said that elven dragons like to play with light things, such as human brains...... Believe it or not, it's up to you. 】
[Uh~ Is it necessary to say it so terrifyingly, as long as they don't take the initiative to annoy the elven dragons, they are relatively gentle towards strangers. 】
If you can win the friendship of the Elven Dragons, they will also volunteer to follow you, providing combat support when encountering enemies. 】
Although Salaan grabbed Valeera in time, her movements had already caught the attention of the elven dragon.
The little creature tilted its head to look at the two strangers it had never seen before, and suddenly opened its mouth to speak under Valeera's surprised gaze.
"Lena! I've found two strange elves, come and check them out! ”
Valeera: "Ah, this ......" (to be continued)
