Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Panda people are very hospitable.

Although Blake was a weird outsider who had tamed the hozen, they still bid farewell to these strange guys at the entrance of the village, especially the tavern chef of Podong Village. The old panda wearing a chef's hat even cried.

The reason why the feelings are so intense is probably because Blake paid three times the price for this meal

This is definitely the best deal the old chef has made in many years.

Of course, the pirate's praise for the delicious food is also indispensable. He praised tonight's dinner as the best meal he has eaten in more than 20 years of life.

For craftsmen, such praise is definitely something that makes people feel happy, proud and moved.

However, considering that Blake was reborn as a Kul Tiras, and Kul Tiras is a famous food desert in Azeroth, if the old panda chef knew anything about the outside world, he would not You will be moved to tears.

This is what is said as long as the lower limit is low enough, any rise is a huge success.

"I always feel that you have an abnormal closeness to the pandas"

When the drunken hozens were running towards the Dragon's Heart, roaring and carrying their sliding poles, Xal'atath said suspiciously in Blake's heart:

"When you met the panda old Chen and his niece Lili before, you were very proactive and enthusiastic. When you were talking to those strange pandas just now, you were also very frank and appropriate.

You didn't even try to bewitch them with your words and deceive them into favor.

It's like a new person.

And now that we have come to Pandaria, it stands to reason that a person who suddenly comes to a strange environment will definitely become wary and anxious, but not only do you not hate this place, you even show a rare sense of comfort.

I feel like you'll be just as comfortable here as you were on the Nagfar.

But this is obviously your first time in Pandaria.

Can a person feel at home in a place he has never been to? "

"How do you want me to explain this to you?"

Black lay on a dangling monkey slide.

He held the skull wine flask with a corner melted in his hand, and while tasting the delicious Dongquan fire wine, he said in a lazy tone:

"Probably everyone has a place they yearn for. For example, Queen Azshara dreams of going back to Zin Azshari ten thousand years ago to see the bustling night view of her former capital.

A bad guy like me also has desires. This quiet and peaceful misty continent is where I want to live my whole life.

Everyone here is full of enthusiasm for life. They face all troubles with an optimistic attitude. They have never had any attachment or desire for foreign objects, let alone the unquenchable hatred of the outside world.

Humans and orcs, tauren and centaurs, elves and trolls, elves and elves, dragons and dragons. I have seen enough of the fighting and the ugliness brought about by the rotation of the wheel of hatred.

How could I not feel comfortable when I suddenly came to an environment where there was no need for intrigue?

Look how beautiful it is here!

The courtyards built by the panda people along the foothills of the mountain with wood and rocks are all so to my liking. If I hadn't had something to do, I really wouldn't have planned to leave here.

Who stipulates that a villain who likes to cause chaos cannot repent for a moment and pursue inner peace? "

"What you said makes sense. If I didn't know what kind of guy you are, I would almost believe it, really."

Xal'atath snorted and said firmly:

"Don't mislead me with these deceptive sentimental words. I am a dark essence as cunning as you. When I say that I can feel your abnormal closeness to Pandaria and the Pandaren, I mean it's true.

I can even feel that you are more willing to regard these pandaren who are incomparable with you as compatriots than the people of Kul Tiras!

You told Lao Chen that you were a 'spiritual panda man', and I thought you were lying to him.

It seems now that you actually told the truth, which was rare.

But why? "

"You are the only one who talks a lot! No matter how beautiful a woman is, she will be hated by others."

Blake snorted and ended the topic abruptly.

He glanced to the side, and under the darkness that had fallen, on the edge of his sliding rod, the happy little fishman was sitting there bouncing up and down with the sliding rod.

There was also a chicken leg braised in oil secretly made by the Panda with a special sauce in his paws, and his mouth was full of oil.

It saw the pirate's gaze and handed over the half-eaten chicken leg in its paws, generously inviting the stinky pirate to taste it together.

Blake curled his lips and declined the offer.

Of course, it's not that he dislikes the fishman's saliva covering the chicken legs, but that he is a patient now and needs to eat less greasy food!

Yes, that's it.

Encouraged by the wine, the group of naughty hozens that the stinky pirates had just conquered performed a "miracle" of running in the dark. They took turns carrying the slide pole and spent most of the night carrying their bad, bad things. The new boss crossed the Pearl Fin River from Potong Village and arrived near the most famous landscape of the Emerald Forest, the "Heart of the Dragon."

This is a very majestic sculpture.

According to visual inspection, it is at least three hundred yards high, and it is an extremely fine and beautiful green dragon sculpture.

The finest jade mined from the jade mines in the nearby mountains were brought to this busy construction site, and then carved into parts of the huge green dragon wrapped around the stone pillars by the ingenious Pandaren stonemasons.

According to what the hozens said, this huge green dragon sculpture has been carved for several years, and it will take at least twenty years to complete.

Even though what we see so far is only a semi-finished product, the majestic posture of the Jade Dragon Heavenly Venerable wrapped around the stone pillar like a giant snake has been clearly demonstrated.

"If I didn't know the truth, I would probably think that the Wisdom God is a vain supreme god. Look at the sculpture he asked the local pandas to build for him.

What a luxury!

This is a wonder on earth that can be built with almost all the manpower and material resources of the panda people in the Emerald Forest. Moreover, only Pandaria can produce such fine jade in the entire world.

It's really a hugely expensive project, and only a peaceful place like Pandaria would have the leisure to make such a work of art. "

Blake stood on the hill outside the Heart of the Dragon, looking at the huge sculpture in the night. The little fishman at his feet was already stunned.

The chicken legs in his hand fell to the ground and were stolen by the cunning Kenken.

The little fishman has never seen such luxurious sculptures anywhere else. The statue of the dwarf king in the Valley of the Kings is larger than this, but those two sculptures are carved directly on the mountain wall.

How can vulgar stones be as gorgeous and precious as the top-grade jade that sparkles in the night?

If you take such a priceless jade sculpture and sell it to the goblins, you can buy at least half of Booty Bay.

"This is no ordinary sculpture."

Xal'atath whispered in the pirate's ear:

"Even from such a distance, I can feel that there is some strange power entwining the jade-carved green dragon. It will definitely undergo some strange changes when it is completed.

It feels like a gestating elemental beast to me.

The panda people are not carving, they are constantly providing nutrients for the awakening of this giant beast.

Combined with what you said before that Yulong Tianzun is preparing for the 'reincarnation' ritual, I guess that the huge jade sculpture of the Dragon Heart is its body in the next life? "

"Cool, as expected of the cunning Void Essence, he guessed the truth right away."

The pirate laughed, looked back at the exhausted hozen servants behind him, shook his head, jumped down the hill and galloped towards the Heart of the Dragon.

As he advanced, he said:

"The reincarnation of Yulong Tianzun was forced. She died once in ancient times, and it was by chance that the pandas who imparted her wisdom saved her with jade carvings.

After that, every thousand years, the Wisdom God will be reincarnated.

In this way, he can ensure that he always has the power to protect this land. But her jade carvings in every life will be finished in the Heart of the Dragon. This is not a place she chooses casually.

The Supreme Devas also have their own secrets.

They guard the terrible secret forever and prevent the ancient dark power from corroding the earth and living things. They are right in front, do you feel it? "

"Very weak!"

Xal'atath also perked up.

As the pirate approached the Yulong stone sculpture in front of her, she did feel something. Just like the sound a puppy makes when it smells something, Xal'atas said to Blake while maintaining a deep breathing sound:

"There is a gathering of darkness deep in the earth under the jade sculpture, accompanied by an extremely strong atmosphere of void. The jade sculpture and the surrounding shrines together form a strange seal, suppressing that power under the earth.

That was the breath of Y'Shaarj.

Yes, it must be it!

This special power that can ignore the obstruction of spirit and will and directly call out the deepest negative emotions of the soul is completely the power characteristic of Y'Shaarj, and it is also its 'privilege' as the strongest ancient god.

Its strange power can even affect us, who are also void creatures.

Legend has it that the Seven Evils have seven heads. They eat hope and spit out despair. Every breath they take will spread the corruption of darkness over the world, and each of its heads carries different powers.

Each head represents the original darkness in the will of life.

The dark force that exists here is..."

"Doubt, what is sealed here is 'doubt', one of the seven fallen powers of Y'Shaarj. It will make life full of doubts, doubts about the world, doubts about others, and doubts about oneself.

It can control the will of the bravest warriors, destroy great ideals, make brothers kill each other, and kingdoms fall apart.

Doubt is the most deadly weapon in the hands of a conspirator.

I longed for it to work for me.

Now, it's your turn, my dear Xal'atath. "

Black jumped to the stonemason camp under the Heart of the Dragon with a whoosh. His movements were light and did not disturb the pandaren who were resting nearby, nor did he disturb the craftsmen who were drinking on the other side of the camp.

He hid in the darkness and placed his hand on the huge cold jade sculpture in front of him. Xalatath extended her power, and soon the essence of the void brought back her judgment.

"The good news is I can absorb it, it's not difficult at all."

Dark Essence said with a slightly excited tone:

"Y'Shaarj has been dead for millions of years. Although its remaining will has not been extinguished, it has fallen into a death-like slumber. The remaining thoughts it left behind only have an instinctive desire for destruction, but do not possess a complete fallen will. .

I can drain the evil energy from the stone sculptures as easily as you drink alcohol. "

"It's great, except for you calling me an alcoholic, it's perfect."

The pirate nodded and asked again:

"What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that the Sha energy, the remnant of Y'Shaarj, has changed its nature after coexisting with this land for millions of years."

Xal'atas said with a little regret:

“It has been integrated with this land and has become a part of Pandaria. It exists in every part of this land, and it is as difficult to get rid of as the will of the mist.

Even if I drain the evil energy here, it will still gather again after a hundred years.

Y'Shaarj feeds on the negative emotions of life, and its dark influence will never fade away as long as there is life in Pandaria. I guess this is the main reason why everyone among the local panda people has a good attitude.

Their life here is not easy, and their current optimism is forced by the environment.

They cannot doubt, fear, anger, despair, mania, hatred, or arrogance. The proliferation of any kind of negative emotions will strengthen the evil power on this land.

It will even awaken the remnants of Y'Shaarj sleeping beneath the earth.

It’s really miserable”

"They can be happy and not worry about food and life. Every panda can pursue the life they desire. This alone is enough to be the envy of other races."

Blake retorted:

"Life is not only true when there is pain. If possible, who wouldn't want to live happily for the rest of his life? Well, don't discuss this, just absorb it.

Think of it as a meeting gift that I gave to Yulong Tianzun when I came to Pandaria.

I hope it can sense my sincerity and not decide to kill me because of what I am going to do to Qinglong Temple next. "

"okay."

Xal'atath cheered.

Through the contact between Blake and the Yulong stone sculpture, she took a deep breath and made a sound like a giant beast swallowing water. It was really like the posture of a smelly pirate when he was drinking, and the evil power of doubt hidden deep under the heart of the dragon was revealed. Quickly draw.

Groups of void power turned into staged black smoke and wrapped around the stinky pirates. They tried their best to attack Blake's mind, trying to inject the poison of doubt into his soul.

But there is no doubt that they failed.

Under the dual protection of Xal'atath and the Will of the Void, the remaining power of an ancient god who has been dead for millions of years is completely insufficient to capture the spirit of the Hand of the Void.

Instead, Blake reached out and grabbed hard in the black smoke entangled outside his body. It was like finding a treasure in the water. In the pirate's hand, there was already a ball of surging anima:

Name: Seven-Headed Beast

Quality: Legend [1/7]

Effect:

1. Doubt: Gives the user the [Halo of Doubt] effect.

Upon entering combat, all thinking enemies within a hundred yards are afflicted with sha energy, making them doubtful, unsettled, and instilling seeds of doubt in their minds.

Notice!

The anima is currently in a incomplete state. Each additional piece collected will strengthen the existing effects. When the anima is complete, the effects will reach their maximum.

Anima can explain:

Y'Shaarj, who made the whole world tremble, is long dead, but perhaps you can regain the majesty of the most powerful ancient god by gathering the power of the remnants of Sha's power.

It will not bring you a direct increase in combat power, but it is definitely the most powerful auxiliary force you can find in this world.

"cool!"

Blake was satisfied and put the anima ball in his hand into the anima storage jar. His Night Armor was not brought this time, but the inlay he was looking for for the anima slot of his owl armor was already in his hand. .

This was one of the treasures he wanted to find in Pandaria.

"Wow, it feels so good to have a full meal."

The dark essence lady also let out a low moan of satisfaction. She made a sour sound of licking her lips and said to Blake:

"There are still six groups of such delicious Sha energy on this continent. If you eat them all, I will be promoted. I will let the power of Y'Shaarj be reborn in my body, and I will use this to achieve everything you desire. ideal.

My little master, I have indeed spent all my luck in meeting you in this dark life. "

"Wow, your earthy love talk is really bad."

Blake complained:

"I'm going to throw up, I'm serious. Okay, okay, don't be angry! Don't howl in my head, don't pull at my mind, don't bite my soul, it hurts!

Is it okay if I know I'm wrong?

It's rare that tonight both your and my greed and ambition are satisfied. This is a beautiful thing.

Walk.

Let's go do some bad things and have fun. "
