Tales of the Highborne

Chapter 5 Escape from the tiger's mouth

Felwood is located south of Darkshore, winding around the lower slopes of Mount Hyjal to the southeast. A gurgling stream flows through quiet, lush meadows, and the scorching summer sun is relieved by gentle breezes and cool rain. Birds are singing loudly in the leafy corridors of the forest. It is so like a paradise. It took Moon Shadow three months to get out of Felwood and enter Ashenvale. Fortunately, he and Cenarius learned a lot about nature, which helped Moon Shadow a lot along the way.

Ashenvale is a huge forest that surrounds most of the northern half of Kalimdor and accounts for half of the shattered Kalimdor. Except for Stranglethorn Vale, the size and natural diversity of Ashenvale are unmatched by any other place in the kingdom of Azeroth. Ashenvale Forest winds into a huge arc south of Mount Hyjal, with Stonetalon Mountains to the southwest and the Desert Lands to the south. The night elves' capital, Jin-Assari, is on the other side of a river in the east. Ashenvale is an ancient forest, home to plants long untouched by mortal races. Although it often rains, the climate here is very mild. The trees of Ashenvale are so ancient and thickly vegetated that even the flushing rainfall only trickles through the dark canopy.

Ashenvale is guarded by some night elf sentries. As long as you are careful and take a little time, you can pass through this forest. Of course, even this is a considerable challenge for him. The trees in Ashenvale are taller than those in Felwood, blocking the sky and making it easy for you to lose your way after entering. The knowledge taught by Cenarius includes the knowledge of identifying directions in such places. Just look at the growth of moss on the trees and the density of professions to identify the direction you want to go. Yueying couldn't help but sigh at the demigod's erudition. There are many wild beasts in the forest, and there are owl beasts, big cats and bears everywhere, which are very dangerous if encountered. Yueying had to observe each section of the road for a long time to make sure there was no danger before leaving.

"Something's wrong, it looks bad." He hadn't encountered a single beast in the past half day, not even a bug. Generally, in this case, there is a 100% chance that a fierce beast with a strong sense of territory will live here. Thinking of this, Yueying suddenly felt her scalp tighten and a creepy feeling spread throughout her body. Yueying said to himself, "Oh no," it seemed like he had been targeted by the master here. This was not good news, and he quickly held the dagger given by Malfurion in his hand. I felt a sudden cold wind hit my back. Without any time to think, Yueying rolled to the side and released an "Ice Nova". A chill came over his shoulders, and he knew he was injured. He didn't have time to take a closer look at Yueying, and he quickly released a "Returning Technique" on himself and quickly distanced himself. He turned around to look at Yueying and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. Right where he was standing just now A tiger as big as a calf stood there. The two eyes with white fur, like copper bells, stared at Yueying, and a low growl came out of his mouth. Yueying couldn't help but secretly feel lucky that he had the habit of maintaining elemental armor at all times. If the "ice armor" hadn't resisted a lot of damage just now, his arm would have been scrapped.

Fortunately, the "Ice Nova" was released just in time, otherwise it would still be killed, but now its four legs have been frozen to the ground by the "Ice Nova", and it can only watch Yueying roar twice. But she couldn't relax yet. Yueying quickly looked around and ran towards one direction. The spell "Ice Nova" is an area-of-effect spell that is released by the mage after condensing the water element and compressing it into cold air. It can temporarily control the opponent's actions and also cause a small amount of damage. Each time the spell is released, the accumulated cold air will be used up, so use it. After that, if you want to release it again, you have to re-condensate the cold energy. This process takes at least 30 seconds. During this period of time, the beast could break free, kill Yueying, and eat all he had left. And none of the other magic he knows is practical in this situation. "Fireball" and "Ice Arrow" require spells to be released, and the impact of magic will also break the shackles of the Ice Nova, and the damage is not enough to kill the opponent in one go. "Arcane Missile" also needs to be guided, and the damage is also not enough. It must be enough. If you use this kind of spell now, it is no different from committing suicide.

If you use warrior skills, don't be ridiculous, you might as well just send it over and let the other party eat it. So Yueying could only run. While running, he gathered water elements to condense the cold air. After only running about ten steps, Yueying looked back and the white tiger had already broken free from the shackles of the "Ice Nova" and rushed towards him. Yueying secretly said something bad and quickly looked around.

"Okay." Yueying's eyes lit up. There was a small tree hole less than ten meters in front of him. The tiger would never be able to get in with its size. As long as he could escape in, he would be safe for the time being, but the distance of ten meters was still a bit far for him. In less than 3 seconds, the tiger caught up and roared at Yueying. Yueying quickly rolled to avoid the attack. But this way

Instead, he got further away from the tree hole, and Yueying secretly cursed "Damn it."

The white tiger did not knock down Yueying, but because of its inertia, it slid to the side of the tree hole. Yueying shivered with anger and was speechless about what kind of luck this was. If he wants to enter the tree hole now, he must pass in front of the beast. Isn't this looking for death? Yueying secretly tightened the dagger in her hand, feeling cold in her heart. I thought that even if I die, I will leave some souvenir on this beast, but after waiting for a few times, I found that the white tiger did not pounce immediately. It failed to catch Yueying twice, and seemed to be considering its strategy instead of rushing to attack.

Yueying secretly rejoiced and quickly gathered the cold energy. The moment Yueying completed the condensation, the white tiger seemed to have finished thinking and rushed towards Yueying. The moment the big white cat was about to touch the moon shadow, there was a flash of blue light and the big cat was frozen to the ground. Yueying rushed to the tree hole in a hurry. The moment he entered, the big white cat broke free and rushed over. But it's too late.

The tree hole was more than three meters deep. Yueying quickly climbed to the bottom of the hole with his hands and feet, and the big cat also rushed to the entrance of the hole and saw Yueying get inside. He stretched out his claws and grabbed it into the hole. Fortunately, the tree hole was deep enough and his claws couldn't reach Yueying. Yueying finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling safe for the time being.

Despite the fact that the big cat seemed unwilling to give up, it still stood guard at the entrance of the cave and leaned its head to look inside the cave from time to time. After resting for a minute, Yueying's mood became much calmer, and she felt very unhappy when she saw Bai Hu peeking his head out from time to time. He directly rolled out a fireball and hit the big cat on the nose. Although he now has the "mana spring" that is only available to intermediate wizards, he does not know many spells, and his power without a staff is pitiful. With his current strength, he can only deal with ordinary beasts in the forest, but he has to be careful to control them, and it takes a lot of effort to control each one. He now lacks a necessary spell for a mage, a protective spell called "Magic Shield". The protective system is a school of thought that studies protective magic, and it is also one of the important magic schools that a young mage must learn. The most versatile abjuration spell is the magic shield, which converts magical energy into a barrier that protects the caster. If used properly, this spell can ward off even the most terrifying attacks. If he had this spell, there would be no need for him to be as embarrassed as he is now.

The big white cat is an elite beast at first glance, and its strength is at least equivalent to that of a top mid-level profession. Moon Shadow's fireball spell didn't cause much damage to it, but the knowledge scorched some of its fur and its beard. However, this aroused its anger. The big white cat rushed directly to the hole and squeezed its head and one paw into the tree hole. It roared and clawed at Yueying, but it was only a few dozen centimeters short. Yueying was startled and directly released a "Frost Nova". Then, "Fireball", "Ice Arrow", "Arcane Missile" and "Natural Wrath" all came directly to its head. The big white cat originally wanted to hide, but it didn't. I thought of being stuck, unable to get in or get out. Originally it was not so irrational, but Yueying irritated it. After teasing such a little insect several times, it would naturally tear it to pieces, eating all the scraps of it. In addition, its beard was Yueying was burned away with a fireball spell. The whiskers or tentacles of cats are delicate tactile organs. There are whiskers or tentacles on both sides of their noses, above their eyes, cheeks and the back of their front feet. If they are shaved, it will not only affect their appearance, but also impair their ability to feel. Feline whiskers have a tactile function. There are many sensory nerves connected to their ends. They are used to detect the distance between objects in the surroundings and to perceive some things around them. This feeling is not only Like a car's benchmark to determine whether I can pass this place, and another feeling is the possibility of a danger, a prey, or everything else, and the closer I get to the cats in the forest, it This tentacle became more and more developed, and because of this, it became stuck at the entrance of the cave and became a living target for Yueying.

Although the damage of several spells of the Moon Shadow Society is not high, they cannot consume the quantity he releases. In some cases, quantitative changes can lead to qualitative changes. After fighting for more than ten minutes, the big cat finally stopped moving. Worried, Yueying cast spells for another ten minutes until he used up the last bit of his magic power. He sat down on the ground and gasped for air. Seeing that the white tiger had already The dead can no longer die.

"It's incredible." He had won, but he had never thought he could kill the beast, or even escape from its hands. But now another problem arises, that is, how does he get out? The big cat blocks the entrance of the hole like a plug, but now Yueying has no time to think about it. After exhausting his magic power, his head is dizzy, and his whole body is weak and weak. He quickly closed his eyes and meditated on the spot.
