Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Cairn and the buffalo men of the native Osul tribe are not simply fighting.

This is an ancient ritual among the tauren. When two clans conflict, in order to avoid a large-scale war, both sides will send warriors to duel to resolve their differences through victory or defeat.

This ancient ritual is so barbaric that the Bloodhoof clan abandoned it long ago and turned to negotiation to resolve conflicts, but the buffalo people of Pandaria still adhere to this tradition.

When Cairn came to communicate with the buffalo people on behalf of the tauren of Kalimdor and the Broken Isles, hoping that they would no longer be opposed to the pandaren, and invited them to form an alliance with their own kind, the buffalo people chose to refuse.

But Kane was unwilling to give up, so he started this ancient ritual.

The buffalo people of the Osul tribe said that as long as Kane could defeat the twenty most powerful warriors in their tribe with his bare hands, they would be willing to obey Kane's advice.

To the buffalo people, this was completely impossible.

But Lao Niu used practical actions to reinterpret another meaning of the word "possible" to them.

If the idiot Finna hadn't suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation, it would have taken Kane at most five minutes to complete this 1V20 challenge, thus convincing the already stunned Osul Buffaloes.

But Fenna's appearance is really bad news

“Vile exotic cattle interfering with sacred rituals!”

An old buffalo man who was almost blind raised his cane angrily and shouted to the surrounding buffalo warriors:

"This is a blasphemy against the Oath of Fire! Shameful foreign cattle are playing damned conspiracy in front of the sacred fire, warriors of Osur!

In the name of fire!

Kill them! "

"Ouch, ouch, ouch"

Under the scolding of the elders, a group of crazy buffalo people grabbed the weapons around them. Their flame shaman temporarily enchanted the warriors' weapons, making those long swords and halberds covered with blazing fire.

They no longer talked about ancient rules, jumped into the battle circle with roars, and began to launch an indiscriminate attack on Kane and Fenner.

Kane sighed helplessly and reached out to pull out his desert halberd. Fenna knew that she had done something bad with good intentions. She smiled awkwardly at the old cow and took out her sword and shield to protect the old cow.

But it doesn't matter how angry Kane is.

Lao Niu is a wise warrior.

After seeing the buffalo elders issuing the kill order so quickly, he also knew that even if he really passed the ancient power ritual, these cunning buffalo men would not obey so easily.

They had no intention of accepting Kane's peace offer.

They were just using the power ritual to delay time, and at the same time, they could legitimately kill Kane in the name of the ritual.

This kind of sinister thinking made Lao Niu very dissatisfied with his "distant relatives" in Pandaria. Although these buffalo people looked honest and honest, in fact they were all very narrow-minded.

"Come up here, stop fighting, don't waste time!"

Black piloted the flying dragon and flew over the Osur Tribe Arena, shouting to Kane and Finna who were attacking the buffalo men below:

"Killing them all won't solve the problem. Osul is just one of the buffalo tribes across Pandaria. Come up, Kane, we have other ways to solve this problem.

And Finna!

Stop it, damn it, there are so many mantids in the Dread Wastes, haven't you killed enough? "

The pirates flew around on the dragon and dropped the rope ladder, as if they were staging a great retreat. Kane and Finna cooperated with each other to retreat while the buffalo people were shouting and killing, and the dragon was lifted into the air while holding on to the rope ladder. Taken away from this war zone.

The buffalo men also tried to attack the Xianglong with their war crossbows, but Black threw him away with Shadow Fury.

It's also these cunning guys who have bad luck.

The moment the Shadow Fury was thrown down, a crack in the void was "luckily" opened under Blake's stunned gaze, and then there was a low roar of the void, and a monster like a big mantis covered with purple void gems emerged from it. Rushed out.

This is the first time Blake has used magic so many times to summon a real void creature since he obtained the legendary power of the Black Emperor.

That thing was pretty powerful, and it killed several buffalo men as soon as it came out.

However, its strength was not strong, and it was soon overwhelmed and ignited by the buffalo people's counterattack with flames.

But the appearance of this "cute void" also allowed the three stinky pirates to evacuate here without interference.

"Bah, those buffalo men are really cunning. They want to kill you with numbers, Kane!"

Finna said to Kane angrily:

"You see, they have already prepared weapons. Even if you pass the ceremony, you will be swarmed and hacked to death by them. Fortunately, we arrived in time.

We saved your life. "

"Well, I don't think they can hack me to death, but there's nothing wrong with your statement, so thank you, my reckless and powerful elf friend."

The old cow swung his tail and stood behind the retreating Xianglong, looking at the Ausur camp behind him. He shook his head and said somewhat depressedly:

"Sigh, the dark thoughts of these buffalo people are indeed not like the tradition of our tauren. At least I am a guest of my own race who has come from afar. No matter what, they should not have such insidious thoughts."

"That's right."

Fenna was also a little curious. She shook her head and said:

"I thought the worst bad guys among the tauren were guys like Magatha, but these buffalo men are much more evil than Magatha.

No wonder the friendly Fat Guns have been fighting against them for nearly ten thousand years. These guys are so bad, as bad as the Mantid.

How did they change from honest tauren to what they are now? "

"Because of faith."

While holding the reins of the Cloud Serpent, Blake said to Kane:

"Did you notice? Kane, when you entered their camp, those totems representing faith."

"Well, I noticed it from the beginning."

Lao Niu frowned and said:

"Logically, all tauren should believe in Mother Earth, which is our oldest and most unified source of faith. We Bloodhoof tauren and Highmountain tauren have been separated for thousands of years, but we still have the same belief.

And Magatha.

Although she made a lot of decisions that in my opinion were terrible, Magatha was also a fanatical believer in Mother Earth, which is the consensus of almost all tauren.

But the buffalo people of Pandaria are different. They believe in fire.

I initially thought they believed in the sun god Anshe, but later I discovered that the flames they believed in were extremely unorthodox flames, and they made me feel very uncomfortable. "

Kane rubbed his head and said:

"How on earth do they have such belief?"

"Because they have their own Vulcan."

Blake searched in his luggage and pulled out a volume of "Pandaria's Scenery" written by pandaren scholars and threw it to Kane, but Lao Niu couldn't understand the pandaren's writing and could only look to Fenner for help. .

This is an elf.

Aren’t elves all knowledgeable and talented?

Maybe Fenner can understand?

As a result, the stupid soldier rolled his eyes and said to the old cow with a dull face:

"Although I am an elf, I am also a warrior."

"understood."

Kane nodded, and then Fenner looked at Blake with him. The stinky pirate was smoking his jade pipe at the moment. When he saw the two warriors looking for help, he sighed.

explain:

"Well, identifying foreign characters is a basic skill for travelers. The expressions you two show make me really worried about the future of Azeroth's warrior community."

Of course, having said that, the kind-hearted Blake is still willing to answer questions for his idiot friends.

While smoking his pipe, he sat cross-legged on the saddle of the flying dragon flying towards Niuzao Temple, admiring the surrounding scenery, and spoke in a long voice to Kane and Finna, who were thirsty for knowledge:

"The Yungol's fall even preceded Pandaria being sealed by the Mist. They were once slaves of the Mogu Empire like the Pandaren, Hozen, and Jinyu.

After seeing the pandaren overthrow the mogu and establish a dynasty under the leadership of Master Kong, the Fist of the Dawn, the yaungol hoped to do the same for their own civilization.

At that time, Ordus, an ambitious yaungol priest, was inspired by the pandaren's rebellion.

He may have the idea of ​​​​"I can take my place" and plan to do something secretly, but the Supreme Gods have a close relationship with the Pandaren Dynasty.

He needs strength if he wants to lead the buffalo people to rise.

He longed for power, so he prayed to some ghostly beings.

You have all seen the supreme gods of the pandaren. You should know that in addition to being wild demigods, the four gods also control the power of the elements, and the pandaren also have shamanic heritage.

Therefore, the elemental power of this land is stronger than other places.

The careerist Ordus himself is a shaman, and he prays day and night to the most powerful being in the elemental power. Yes, it is our Lord Ragnaros, the Lord of Fire. "

Blake curled his lips and said:

"Ragnaros is a real fun-loving person. He generously gave Ordors a lot of power, asking it to open the seal of the elemental realm in the material world.

But the Fire Demon King was also a very rude guy. He probably had a hard time finding a sincere careerist believer in that era, so he was so happy that he accidentally gave him too much power.

The fate of poor Ordus was thus changed for the worse.

His body was scorched by the eternal flames of the Fire of Savras, transforming him from a creature of flesh to an elemental creature.

But Ragnaros is a stingy guy, and the power it gives is not enough.

This caused Oros to become a half-flesh, half-element monster. He did gain the power of a demigod, but he also fell into never-ending pain.

In order to relieve his pain, he asked the buffalo people to imitate his path of becoming a god, dedicate themselves to the flames, and dedicate their faith to him.

This will ease his pain.

But we all know that most of these guys who live by absorbing faith have the potential to become evil gods. "

The stinky pirate shrugged, looked at Kane, and said:

“The buffalo people had their own gods, but their gods were too painful to have time to support their cause of resistance. As a result, the buffalo people were still in this bad state of divided nomads 10,000 years later.

If you want to rescue your distant relatives who have gone astray, and if you want to bring them back to the righteous faith of Mother Earth from the crooked path of believing in evil gods, you must first kill the source of the buffalo people's corruption.

That's right, you have to kill an evil god!

So exciting, right? "

"It's just an evil god, it's not like he hasn't been beaten before!"

Fenner excitedly clenched her fists and said to Kane:

"When are you going to kill that unlucky Vulcan? Invite me to join you. I need to challenge a powerful enemy now to show my courage, and that's an evil god.

No need to hesitate, just do it! "

The mature and steady Kane shook his head.

He touched his horns, thought for a moment, and said:

"This cannot be done by the Bloodhoof clan alone. It seems that I have to go to Thunder Totem first. If we want to rescue our fallen compatriots, then the brothers from Highmountain should also participate.

That is an elemental evil god. If we can get the help of the Holy Hammer of Kazgoroth, our cause will be smoother.

But the question is, where is the yaungol Vulcan?

Can he be ritually summoned? "

"Well, you asked the right person this question."

Blake rubbed his hands.

His cheerful gesture made Kane's heart sink.

When Blake makes a move like this, it usually means someone is about to get ripped off.

Lao Niu sighed, spread his hands and lay flat, and said directly:

"I have no money. You know the financial situation of the Bloodhoof clan. Our high mountain friends don't use currency. And I heard Ulan say that you 'inherited' one of the richest treasure troves in the world from them."

"Don't listen to those antlered cows. I don't have any treasures in Highmountain."

Blake scoffed and immediately denied the statement.

But Fenna's eyes lit up, and the stupid warrior rushed up to him with a cry, and said to his stinky brother:

"You still have some private money? Asshole, give me some! I'm your sister, and you will still be yours in the future. In short, I want a quarter, isn't it too much?"

"Go wherever you go, you will be there."

Blake hit Fenner's head in disgust, making a hollow sound.

He said:

"What do you want money for? I've got food and shelter, and even weapons and armor. Do you want money for fun? Can you count it?"

After scolding the idiot Finna, the stinky pirate looked at Kane who was covering his mouth and snickering.

He said:

"I don't want money, don't worry, my friends, I also need you to give me the fire of Savras given by Ragnaros after you kill the Yungol Vulcan.

I'm useful.

You go back to discuss with Ulan and Black Horn. When you gather enough men to kill a burning evil god, come to me. I will ask my first mate to take you to the place where the buffalo fire god is hiding. "

Blake raised a finger and said mysteriously:

"Without Sephiel's leadership, you will never find that place in your life. That is a place that only my first mate can find in the whole world.

It was a treasure place that belonged exclusively to her.

So, Kane, we do a deal? "
