Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 907 4. Word spread that the stinky pirate is a small-minded person - additional updates for last month’s monthly ticket [1725]

Walking on dreams is an ancient desire.

For most people, entering a dream probably means entering the magical Emerald Dream from the material world, but for the prophet of the Stinky Pirate, he knows that this matter is not as simple as this thing describes.

Because the Emerald Dream is "layered".

This is easy to understand. For example, the place where the druids followed the souls of the wilderness demigods through dreams to learn in the Emerald Dream is definitely not the same place as the place where the druids sealed the werewolves nine thousand years ago.

The mysterious and changeable dream world is not just as beautiful as the rumors, like a natural wonderland.

It's also dangerous.

Not all of the various dream creatures are cute and cute, some of them will even open their mouths to surprise you.

For example, just now Blake accidentally almost died under the furious charge of Asal, the Heart of the Forest, even though he was the one who peeped into their "couple life" first.

But it also illustrates the dangers of dreams.

In addition, the experience of entering and exiting the contaminated Emerald Dream seven times in the future with his eyes closed also taught Blake that the biggest difference between the Emerald Dream and the material world is that this world is "non-linear".

Except for the creatures living there, after outside creatures enter, it is impossible to rely on a specific road to enter a specific place.

Must be led by a guide.

Once he accidentally gets stuck in the gap between different dreams, Blake has to pray that the lazy druids wake him up from the dream before his body loses breath.

But considering the reputation of druids in this regard, the pirates deeply regret what happened to them when the worst happened.

Now, Black is riding behind Asal, the Heart of the Forest, with Ursok running in front leading the way, and Arteni the Star Doe behind as a defender.

The protection of the three-headed wilderness demigod makes pirates feel extremely safe.

He now desperately hoped that his ancestor Satsavis, who wanted to plot against him, would quickly jump out to provoke him, and then be swarmed by the three-headed demigods and beat him into a fool.

But with Xavius' level of cunning, that guy probably wouldn't be so stupid.

"Where is the mighty Ursoc going? This is not a path deep into the forest. This is more like heading towards the edge of this dreamland."

Asal's voice sounded in the pirate's heart, with a hint of doubt.

It has to be said that not only does this magnificent big-antlered deer look very good, it is majestic and beautiful, but its voice is also the same as last time, revealing a sense of elegance and calmness.

Although its partner Atene is taciturn, she probably has a gentle and generous voice.

Faced with Asal's question, Black replied in his heart:

"Don't ask now, just follow along. I'm not trying to be mysterious. As you who can travel through dreams, you should naturally know that certain things cannot be talked about in dreams.

Once you discuss it, you'll get its attention. "

"nightmare?"

Assal asked:

"No way, those dark things haven't appeared for thousands of years."

"Of course not a nightmare."

Black said:

"It's something scarier and more original than a nightmare. Hush, don't ask, just follow it."

Asal is not afraid of danger.

In the druids' descriptions of natural creatures, the stag is generally a symbol of courage and light, and Asal's heart is as brave as its appearance.

As the three wild demigods ran as fast as the wind, they soon came to the edge of this dreamland. As Blake said, the Emerald Dream is not continuous.

Only the creatures who grow here can accurately find the way forward in the maze-like dreamland.

Facing the black miasma-like fog at the edge of the dream forest, Ursock rushed in without fear. Asal and Atene hesitated and rushed in after them.

But unexpectedly, Ursock did not enter the next level of dream through the gap in the dream. Instead, he walked in the opposite direction and groped forward in the darkness full of weird atmosphere.

Black, who was riding behind Asal, felt a "call", and the void power in his body seemed to be more active.

After a few panicking minutes, Ursok let out a deep roar, lunged forward, and led the two compatriots and the smelly pirates behind him to a strange place hidden in the gap between dreams.

It was like the reflection of some evil thing, vaguely displayed in front of the three-headed demigod. Only a very blurry picture could be seen, as if there was a world apart.

What appeared in front of them was a giant tree that had been mostly corrupted. Under the gloomy skylight, it was dotted with dark red corrosion marks, and tentacles of flesh and blood like blackened branches were surging in the heart of the giant tree.

The huge tree trunk seemed to have been burned by flames, with only the huge round hole in the center exposed, and a blood-red eye looking out from the round hole.

The eyeball was so evil that it looked like it was attached to a disgusting pustule of flesh and blood.

Any area it looks at will be ignited with dark red fire intertwined with twilight, burning everything, causing the seeds of corrosion to be cultivated downward, and the land covered with corrosion will be barren and desolate.

Blake looked at this scene expressionlessly, and he was not surprised at all.

I just felt that Ursok's action efficiency was really good.

When I first told Ursoc about the secret corruption of the Emerald Dream, I just wanted him to find some clues and make some preparations for the future.

But I didn't expect that this jelly bear was so powerful, and it actually found the corrosive heart that was growing and corroding the foundation of the dream.

As expected of you, the ace bear Tan Ursok!

Even if you don't work as a wilderness demigod in the future, you can definitely make a lot of money by opening a detective agency.

Compared to Blake's shock, the Heart of the Forest couple who were inexplicably involved in this matter were absolutely in a state of despair.

As unorthodox wilderness demigods, they do not often enter dreams.

Their understanding of the Emerald Dream is still at the level of "this is a good place to hide and have fun". They can't imagine that there are such lost things hidden in the depths of the peaceful Emerald Dream.

"What is this?"

The brave Asal stammered when he spoke, and the forest guard Atene was even more frightened and hid behind his partner, secretly sticking his head out to look at the terrifying reflection in front of him.

Ursok squatted on the spot, and the jelly bear's eyes showed a calmness after recognizing the reality. Facing Asal's question, it pursed its lips and signaled Blake to take on the role of "commentary".

"Ahem, this, this is called Corrosive Heart."

The smelly pirate coughed twice and said to the two forest demigods:

"It is the 'masterpiece' of the Ancient God, the Thousand Bearded Demon, and the Corruptor N'Zoth's secret corruption of the Emerald Dream. Yes, it is the Ancient God that I defeated in Kul Tiras before.

The Church of Storms is just the most conspicuous of its many subordinates, a 'weapon' created to target human civilization.

But not the only one.

The thing you see in your eyes is a weapon prepared for the elven civilization, to be precise, for the druids and the Green Dragon Legion.

This corrosive heart is called ‘Il’gynos’.

It is the most polluting servant created by N'Zoth in Ny'alotha. Its seeds were planted deep in the dreamland by the ancestor Satsavis, where the druids and green dragons sang and danced without doing anything. Throughout the ages, it has been drawing nourishment in the darkness.

The dream has been corrupted by it.

The place where you two secretly have fun is a desperate place where corrosion and pollution can break out at any time. It can only be said that you two are really good at picking places.

I would call it ‘the dance of joy on the blade’. "

At this moment, Asal and Atene no longer bothered to scold Blake for the "adult malice" in his words, and asked anxiously:

"Where exactly is it? And what is this place?"

"Where exactly."

Black glanced at Ursoc, who finally spoke for the first time, saying in a voice as low as a northern storm:

"The evil Satyr is hiding everything from the outside world, and the Satyr war nine thousand years ago is just a facade.

The elves thought they were victorious, but the satyrs' defeat only served to conceal their darker purposes.

During the war, Xavius ​​planted the seeds of corruption in the holy land of the druids. In the center of the forest of Val'sharah, in the withering roots of the world tree named 'Shaladrassil', malicious The poison is spreading.

This is the Cleft of Arryn.

The space between dreams can reflect some reality. What we see here is just the illusion left in the dream by Il'gynos Corruption Heart.

In reality, it may have grown into something more powerful. "

"No, it's like a rotting flower that's growing."

Black corrected Ursock, explaining:

"In my prediction of the future, it will take at least thirty years for Il'gynos Corruption Heart to absorb enough nutrients to enter the complete body and bloom into a flower of evil that stirs up the entire Emerald Dream.

You still have enough time to get rid of it before it spreads its corruption completely.

Of course, this means that you must voluntarily give up all the dreams contaminated by it and seal those hopeless nightmare places, just like the druids sealed the werewolves nine thousand years ago.

This is a terrible decision. "

The smelly pirate wanted to pick up the pipe. In the dream, he just thought about it, and the pipe appeared in his mouth. While he was puffing on the smoke, he deliberately shaped the smoke into various fantastic postures, while talking to the three Wild Demigod said:

"This is a decision that may be heartbreaking for the druids and green dragons, which means they may give up a third of the Emerald Dream.

But trust me, it's worth it.

Just like the feat I performed in Kul Tiras, I dug out the rotten flesh and blood of the human kingdom and severely damaged its vitality, but at least it saved one life and still has a promising future.

If you don't cut your throat now and continue singing and dancing for thirty years, the best result you can get is to take back a small piece of pure dreamland from the Emerald Dream that has completely turned into a nightmare.

This is a tough decision.

But you must make your choice now.

Without Shaladrassil, you still have Nordrassil, but if even Nordrassil is contaminated, then the Kaldorei elves will really be doomed.

They will slip from eternity into the mire, no different from us lowly humans.

Gee, just thinking about that future makes me feel sad for the elves. "

The three-headed wilderness demigod was silent.

Although Blake was talking about what the elves were doing, in fact, the pirates' words were reminding them to make a decision quickly, because the elves can live without the Emerald Dream and the material world, but once the Emerald Dream is over, these The demigods of the wilderness are in dire straits.

People like the Asal couple who still have physical bodies can still hide in the material world and survive.

But Ursoc, a wilderness demigod who has long since lost his entity, can only be buried with him in the Emerald Dream. The worst thing is that most of the wilderness demigods in the world have lost their entity.

They have no choice but to beg for mercy and surrender.

As Ursok who has been corrupted by the void, Jelly Bear can pat his chest and tell other wilderness demigods that the feeling of being corrupted will make you want to scratch your own head that smells disgusting.

"Let us inform Lord Cenarius immediately!"

The Assars knew the situation was urgent and took on the most difficult task without any hesitation.

Outside the forest, Cenarius is the most powerful natural demigod currently existing in Azeroth. He has a noble status and a distinguished family tree.

How prominent is it?

Cenarius's mother is said to be the moon god Elune.

And its father is the first wild demigod born naturally in Azeroth, Malorne the White Deer.

Ashar was born in the Black Forest of Drustvar in Kul Tiras because he looked exactly like Cenarius' father, so he was looked upon by the demigod with special eyes.

Speaking of which, they all belong to deer, and they should take care of each other.

In short, this couple has a good relationship with Lord Cenarius, so it is most appropriate for them to be responsible for informing Cenarius.

After the Assars left, Ursoc glanced at Black and said in a low tone:

"Why did you choose this time to reveal this secret? My dream reconnaissance near Saradrassil is far from complete. Starting a large-scale operation now may cause unnecessary casualties.

you.

Did you just say that Xavius ​​was plotting against you? Are you planning to fight back? "

"Don't think that I'm so bad, okay?"

Blake spread his hands and said:

"I am thinking about the overall situation. Once the Corruption Heart is eradicated, the Emerald Dream will be purified, the hidden risks will no longer exist, and N'Zoth will also lose a general.

Next, the druids just need to find a way to resurrect demigods like you. Everyone has a bright future.

As for Savvis.

Okay, I admit, detonating this crisis now will really make Xavius ​​scramble and make his thousands of years of planning go to waste overnight.

But as an evil person, it should have been mentally prepared to be ruined by a hero who passed by here unexpectedly and did not want to reveal his name.

What does this have to do with me, a little pirate who just wants to complete the wilderness trial quietly? "

After saying that, Blake turned to look at the dream reflection in front of him, and blew out a smoke ring.

explain:

"This impending defeat will be heartbreaking for N'Zoth, one more of the Corruptor's tentacles hidden in the darkness will be severed, and Xavius's poor ability to do his job will be doubted by his evil boss.

He was even abandoned and suppressed because of this, and had to change his family again.

How miserable.

But it's deserved, isn't it?

Who told me to offend me first?

I had no interest in targeting it, but it jumped out and tried to teach me a lesson. What can I do? Alas, I can only use my poor wisdom to teach it a lesson.

Although this belongs to the fact that I dropped Wang Zha as soon as the opponent played a card, which is somewhat devoid of martial ethics, but what can I say?

Since you want to teach a lesson, you must make it painful.

This is how you have to deal with bad boys.

Believe me. "
