Shadow Trails in Azeroth

(Last month’s monthly ticket was updated [20/25], and the title cannot be written anymore)

Last night's battle gave Blake an "unexpected gain."

There are a lot of fresh storm dragon ribs in his luggage, as well as some good dragon scales, dragon claws and dragon tendons, which gives the pirate ample resources to make a strong and useful dragon tendon hook lock for himself. .

Frostpaw and Bighorn also feasted last night.

Blake was fighting in the sky, and they were picking up leaks on the ground. Just in the head-on conflict last night, these two guys took advantage of the chaos and killed three storm dragons in a sneak attack.

The remaining storm dragons were free again because they lost their drivers, and the stinky pirates did not make it difficult for them.

An eye was gouged out of each storm dragon as ransom and a mark of defeat, and then they were released back to their ancestral homeland of Stormheim. Although storm dragons have a tradition of accepting vrykul as riders, they are essentially a free dragon tribe.

Their dragon father and dragon mother are both legendary dragons and powerful, because a group of high-level dragons also bear the responsibility of mounts for the Thundercast Heroes, so they can also speak to Odin.

If we really want to kill them all here, it will cause Black some unnecessary trouble.

Maybe he couldn't grab Valarjar Sky Sword, which made the stinky pirate a little unhappy.

He believed that the robbery last night was a failure. When reviewing, he thought that if he did not use Ashbringer at the beginning, but lured the enemy deeper, and launched a counterattack at the end, he might be able to maximize his profits.

Alas, there was a mistake.

Mainly because he overestimated the fighting will of Hela's generals.

This is a misconception and needs to be corrected immediately.

In short, early the next morning, the pirates rode on the sky, which was proud of their victory, bid farewell to Eagle Claw Peak, and started their trial journey again.

The ancestor turtle's seduction plan had failed, and the pirates had to conduct their own trials in a "classical" way.

He should have gone to the Thunder Totem Fortress of the High Mountain Beef Man to look for clues about the Eagle's Claw, and maybe gain a reputation and ask his grandfather to tell his grandmother to piece together the whereabouts of the hunting sacred object.

But the pirate is just a wall hanging, and he knows all the clues much better than this group of worthless people who have lost their ancestors' holy relics such as antler beef.

Therefore, he directly skipped this step and set out from the southwest of the High Ridge, traversing the entire snowy mountain peaks, entering Stormfjord, and landed in a bay filled with cold mist.

"Nashar Bay is right here."

Blake jumped down from behind the sky and patted the hippogryph on its neck to let it cruise high in the sky.

I blew my magic whistle, summoned my bear and wolf, then set up my precious falcon, and strode into this damp and cold place.

This was originally the pirate port of the local Vrykul clan.

This damp, cold, and ominous bay is obviously the territory of Hades. The polluted sea fog all around that blocks the sun is clear evidence of the division of power.

Those vrykul who worship Odin never come near this place.

The bastards under Hela have no interest in building houses or anything like that, which has led to the fact that this once prosperous bay has now turned into a garbage dump full of ruins.

Old Garni would probably like this place.

"Gu~"

The black-feathered falcon flew back from the fog and landed lightly on Blake's raised arm. She cooed a few times to indicate that she had found the target.

There is a strange creature lurking in this bay, and it is probably the culprit that makes this bay deserted.

In addition, Hisari Black Crow used her excellent reconnaissance ability to discover many bones on the coast, not only those of the Beefmen, but also those of the Vrykul, and even the remains of the Helagars.

Obviously, the overlord of this bay doesn't care who comes, because everyone will become its food anyway.

Additionally, Black Crow shared a very important message.

"Even your Loa power can't detect the specific location of that guy? Can it hide its tracks completely in the fog like me?"

Black blinked under his helmet.

He nodded and said:

"That's right, it must be it. 'Highmountain Scourge', 'Beefman's Nightmare', and 'Hunting Terminator' are always among the top three on the Secret Path bounty list.

It was a powerful beast king who escaped from Odin's eternal hunting ground. It was a dangerous beast that had been battling wits and courage with the drunken heroes of the Sky Fortress all year round, the Shadow Claw Dakar. "

The stinky pirate reported all the information about his target. He stroked the smooth eagle feathers of Miss Hesali Black Crow and said:

"The incompetent Highmountain Tauren's last 'Eagle Claw Defender' Narmus Highmountain died in its hands, and that was many years ago.

The beefy man who misjudged his own strength was a direct bloodline of Huon Gaoling. He lived in the shadow of his outstanding ancestors and he was always eager to prove himself.

After Dakar attacked the Skyhorn tribe's camp and caused a massacre, he, as the supreme hunter holding the Eagle Spear, set out to hunt it down without hesitation.

It is said that the Gaoling clan held a grand hunting ceremony for him that day, and the poor beef man set off confidently with a garland and praise.

Then he was gone.

Shhh.”

Blake quietly made a silent gesture and said:

“Countless tauren who wanted to get back the Eagle Spear went to death one after another, which only satisfied Dakar’s endless appetite, so that it was tired of eating the beef of the beef men.

It wanted a change.

Perhaps, a human pirate who overestimates his abilities can become its snack.

There is no doubt that Dakar is full of confidence. "

"Whoosh"

The pirate suddenly turned around, and Salamani jumped into his hands. Without using the holy sword to wake him up, he staggered back and stabbed behind him with a shadow attack.

The sharp blade turned into black light and pierced through, chopping up the shadow cheetah that silently pounced out from the mist.

Frost Claw also roared and rushed into the mist, while Bighorn waved his bear paw, withstood the attack, turned around and slapped the phantom cheetah that jumped out of the mist to pieces.

The human pets cooperated perfectly and resolved this deadly attack almost instantly.

But they didn't kill any enemies.

Dajiao looked at the shadow cheetah whose head was smashed by him in confusion. It was clear that the slap just now had a physical collision, but after being beaten to death, the phantom of the slender shadow cheetah shattered like a bubble.

Over there, Frostpaw also moved his mouth.

It bit the cheetah's throat without biting anything.

"That's what's dangerous about Dakar."

Black held Salamani and said to his three-headed pet:

"That is a phantom spirit. It was first strengthened by Odin to have the ability to generate and control phantoms. Its phantoms are not used to disguise, but to attack.

Any hunter who underestimated these phantoms paid a heavy price.

Secondly, after it escaped from the eternal hunting ground, it was valued by Hela. It was well known that the madwoman loved anything that could be used to humiliate Odin.

Although Dakar did not succumb to her, Hela generously gave Dakar the blessing of controlling the fog.

The fog in this harbor was not spread by Hela. It was woven for itself by Dakar using its own abilities, and it was its own 'eternal hunting ground'.

When we entered here, we had already walked into Dakar's trap, and the cunning claws of shadow must be hiding somewhere to spy on us.

Killing the last 'Eagle Claw Defender' was her most glorious achievement. The Cheetah Queen is sharpening her claws, trying to treat me and you as the second great victory in her hunting career.

This is my wilderness trial.

Well, at least that's how it should be.

But Hela undoubtedly interfered with it and was such a spoiler. No wonder everyone disliked her.

So let's catch Dakar and tell Dehela where that bitch hid the Eagle Spear. "

"Cuckoo"

Hisari Black Crow hissed in confusion.

Black has already shown how difficult Dakar can be. Faced with such an apex predator, how can the pirates capture the ghost in the fog?

The answer is of course simple.

The pirate made a gesture, meaning you are waiting here.

He was going alone as bait.

In order to lure Dakar to take the bait, he even took off the divine armor that made the shadow cheetah fearful. He didn't wear any armor, just a hunting suit.

Wearing a bamboo hat and carrying two crossbows on his back, he walked into the fog with Salamani.

Sure enough, this move immediately triggered a reaction from Dakar. After breaking away from the "protection" of their war beasts, the pirates were attacked by two groups of phantom cheetahs within five minutes of entering the fog.

Needless to say the results.

With the legendary war crossbow in hand, the pirates easily dispatched them without even drawing their swords, and were even in the mood to recycle the crossbow arrows.

This kind of wandering in other people's territory is a terrible provocation for any stalker. In the third attack, Dakar's true form finally appeared among the four phantom cheetahs.

This was captured immediately by the smelly pirate.

The cheetah is not big in stature. It is exactly the same as its phantom, so it is difficult to tell the authenticity.

But the force of the claws was so deadly that the moment the pirate crossed his crossbows to protect his body, he was shot back several steps by the Shadow Cheetah.

The guy instantly disappeared into the mist like an assassin, then reappeared behind Blake. The sharp claws of his flesh-padded claws struck at the pirate's neck in a staggered manner, but was accurately blocked by Salamani, who was lying behind him.

"Good baby."

Black sarcastically applied the hunter's mark that had not been used for a long time.

But in an instant, it was washed away by Dakar's shadow power.

The Cheetah Queen was unwilling to give up this opportunity and continued to fight with Blake in the posture of a beast. I have killed countless opponents with a big sword like this. This weapon is very powerful, so you should try to avoid being hit.

But it's heavy.

No matter how brave the warrior is, there will be a short period of time after striking a sword, which is his chance to deliver a fatal blow.

Dakar was very cunning. It kept jumping around to consume Blake's strength and endurance. When the pirate began to gasp for air, the cheetah's eyes lit up and he knew the opportunity had come.

After the pirate slashed forward with his sword, his body went into a brief stiffness.

It's now!

Dakar disappeared into the mist with a swish, and rushed out like a flicker, clawing at the heart of the smelly pirate. At this moment, he could not fight back in time unless he threw away the flaming weapon.

But a samurai without weapons is like a wild dog without teeth, so easy to deal with.

No matter which way he chooses, he is sure to win, and he is so lucky today! ! !

"bass"

The awakening of the holy sword, like a bird of prey spreading its wings, interrupted all Dakar's fantasies. It watched helplessly as its claws were about to touch Blake's heart, and another victory seemed close at hand.

But he could only watch helplessly as the heavy sword in the hand of this bastard human turned into two fast and light one-handed blades, and then he held it backwards and stabbed his beautiful fur.

In a state of full sprint, a beast king like it can't stop its attack in time.

That is completely inconsistent with the principle of biological birth.

The offense and defense are reversed!

And it can also see the smile on the smelly pirate's face.

He showed his flaws on purpose.

This bastard!

"puff"

The light and fast sword blades of Sharathol Ripper and Eremeni Marauder pierced Dakar's forelimbs and waist, and pulled horrific scars on it as the stinking pirate spun.

Fortunately, the Ripper special effect was not triggered, otherwise this beautiful leopard would have lost a leg.

But even so, this is also the most serious injury Dakar has suffered since escaping from the Eternal Hunting Ground.

Can't fight, must run!

The cunning beast immediately wailed and struggled to jump out of the area where the blades were dancing, limping backwards and disappearing into the mist. Blake put away his swords and swung them outwards, and the blood on the blades was thrown into the side of him. in sewage.

The hunter's mark was not on, and he couldn't see where Dakar had fled.

But that’s okay, the Watcher’s Endless Hunting nature has captured the detail left behind as the Dakar moves.

Even though it is as fast as the wind and as swift as a ghost, it is still a physical creature. Since it is physical, it will definitely leave unique traces after walking.

Ordinary hunters can't find such an almost non-existent mark, but pirates can.

In his perception, the marked details became highlighted, like two footprints, one extending the route of Dakar's escape, while the other was fainter and should have been left by the Cheetah Queen.

The pirate whistled, and the three war beasts waiting outside the fog immediately pursued the seriously injured Dakar under his command. The cheetah's blood is the perfect beacon for deadly predators like Frostpaw and Bighorn.

But he himself chose another route deeper into the bay.

Holding the two swords and closing them again, holding Salamani in his hands, the pirate walked all the way to Dakar's cave behind a puddle in the deepest part of Nashar Bay.

The place is filled with the remains of various races.

The picky cheetah queen only eats the best parts of them and throws the rest of the carcasses outside her lair. It has been wreaking havoc here for many years, creating a horrific scene like a mass grave.

But the inside of its lair is very clean. This made Blake nod frequently, she was still a little girl who loved to be clean, so not bad.

But after entering the cave, the pirates were predictably disappointed.

The hunting sacred object Eagle Spear, which was supposed to be hidden here as a "trophy" by Dakar, has long since disappeared, and only a pale crystal remains in its place.

Probably sensing Blake's approach, the crystal flashed rapidly, revealing the image of Hella Queen Hela.

The noble Mad Queen is as raunchy as ever.

She laughed heartily, played with the Eagle Spear with the tips of her talons, and sneered in a cold and vicious voice:

"I know what you're looking for, but I won't let you find it. Want it? Traitor! You know where to find it. Come on, come on, enter Hades.

I will 'love' you well. "

"Snapped"

A crossbow arrow pierced the spar, stopping all the other dirty words Hela wanted to say. Black, who was holding a war crossbow like a gun, had an expressionless face.

Alas, things related to him will never be smooth sailing.

Stinky pirates have long been used to it.

So, next stop, Hades?

All right.

What a terrible answer that won't disappoint.

Blake picked up the magic whistle and blew it hard.

The bear, bear, and wolf that was chasing Dakar was summoned to his side again, and Hisari flew back very well-behaved and cowardly. He shrugged and announced the bad news to his pets.

Everyone was sad and angry, and roared to express their "sincere greetings" to the Evil Queen.

But there is no way, this is life.
