Shadow Trails in Azeroth

Chapter 956 52.Are you here to fight or to meet relatives? -【1215】

(Additional update during the Spring Festival, Happy New Year)

After all the warriors who participated in the trial had arrived at Stormfjord, Odin's two ravens, Munin and Hujin, were very busy. They flew around in the sky across the fjord, telling them the time when the trial would start. Every participant.

Shortly after Blake and Fenner met Kane Bloodhoof, the great raven Hujin descended from the sky and informed Fenner and Kane to gather at the platform under the Gate of Heroes in one day.

The place where they are is very close to the platform, and they only need to cross a rune forest to reach it.

The three of them walked together.

During the conversation, the pirates learned from Kane that he was sent to Stormheim by astral teleportation by the shaman Hamuul Runetotem of the Bloodhoof clan.

But being unfamiliar with the place, Kane used his excellent hunting skills to go all the way up the river, and happened to encounter the Tidestealer Vrykul putting poison in the water, and that's what happened.

"The poison they used is very strange. I checked it and it was mixed with a kind of creepy power. Their target should be the Vrykul tribe on the edge of the river."

Lao Niu carried his totem on his back and followed Blake and Fenner into the rune forest and said:

"The cunning centaurs also use poison, but the tauren regard this despicable behavior as a sin. I heard Odin say in his dream that his followers are all powerful warriors and certainly disdain Use such means.

I then deduced that those Vrykul with a sinister aura were definitely not Odin's servants.

Then he launched an attack on them. "

"Those are Hela's henchmen."

Blake said contemptuously:

"Probably the Underworld was breached by the Shield Maidens before, which made Hela feel humiliated, so she arranged the poisoning this time. The dignified Queen of the Underworld actually used this method to take revenge. It seems that she is really hurt. Bones."

"Hela?"

Kane said doubtfully:

"Is that also a vrykul god?"

"That's an evil god who always wants my brother's life, but she's a madman."

Fenner raised her head and looked at Kane, like a small man looking at a big man, and she continued:

"My brother told me that our trial this time is likely to go to Hades to challenge the goddess of death. My companion is currently visiting the entrance of Hades."

"Challenge a god?"

Lao Niu was a little frightened.

These Bloodhoof tauren have a hard-working character due to their hard life, and they also have a sincere belief in Mother Earth.

Fighting against the gods is a taboo for the simple tauren.

"The existence of Odin and Hela is different from the gods you believe in like Mother Earth. The difference between them is quite big. It is difficult for me to explain it clearly in a few sentences. Wait until you see Odin with your own eyes. You’ll know.”

Blake explained:

"You can understand them as powerful creatures, or the real gods created them to manage the world, just like Mother Earth shaped the original tauren and instructed Anshe to take care of you."

"You also know Anshe?"

Lao Niu smiled honestly and said:

"You seem to be familiar with us."

"Not only do I know Anshe, I also know where his shrine is."

Black God smiled and said to Kane:

"It's a bit offensive to say this, but in fact, the sun god Anshe you believe in has the same existence form as Odin and Hela.

I don’t know which Titan the Mother Earth you believe in specifically refers to, but what is certain is that the Tauren’s belief also belongs to the Titan system. "

The pirate's words sounded a bit arrogant to the believers. Kane frowned but didn't say much. But after taking a few steps, Lao Niu suddenly reacted.

He looked at Blake with wide eyes and asked angrily:

"You just said that the great Anshe is the same as Odin and Hela, that means."

"Well, the sun god Anshe also has powerful entities in this world."

The pirate shrugged and said;

"And in a certain mysterious place on the continent of Kalimdor where you live, if there is a chance in the future, I can take you on a pilgrimage.

I think the tauren paladins of the Sunwalker clan will be very happy. "

A few seconds later, several loud eagle whistles sounded overhead. The pirate listened carefully and said to Fenna and Lao Niu:

"Let's say goodbye here.

I am not a pirate and can't participate in the grand gathering of you warriors. Just in time, my little baby told me that an acquaintance of mine was camping in front of me.

I'll go over and have a look.

I hope you all get what you want in this battle. "

After saying that, the pirate disappeared into the lush rune forest with a whoosh.

"Little baby egg?"

Lao Niu was amused by the pirate's statement.

He looked at Fenner. The stupid warrior felt a little embarrassed, but he still turned away and said:

"Ignore my brother, he has some brain problems, but I noticed that you seem uncomfortable staying with him? Can you also smell the evil emanating from him?"

"I smell no evil."

The old cow shook his head, flicked his tail and said:

"But I can feel the threat posed by your brother like a gleam on my back. Even if he has no ill intentions, my warrior instinct still reminds me to stay as far away from him as possible.

I haven't felt this way in a long time since Mother Earth gave me the power of rebirth. "

Kane placed the totem pole behind him on the ground, looked around and said:

"Perhaps two lives are not enough when facing Black. Your brother must have a legendary story to enable him to develop the strange power he has today.

But he promised to help the Bloodhoof clan, so I must fulfill my promise. "

Lao Niu smiled naively and put the totem aside.

He said to Fenner with his bare hands:

"Come on, little Elf of Ma Gan, we have limited time, so let me teach you something through actual combat."

"Hey, I'm pretty awesome too, okay?"

Fenner waved her fist in dissatisfaction and said:

"Don't listen to what that bratty brother says. I also defeated the orc war chief."

After saying that, Fenner raised her fist and hit Kane, but the tauren chief's hand, which only had three fingers and looked like a troll, caught it easily.

The punch didn't even shake Kane's body.

The punch made Lao Niu shake his head.

He said:

"This kind of strength may be able to fight against centaur warriors, but those cunning things will never be beaten passively. Your strength is already very powerful compared to your size.

But it can be more powerful.

I think this is what Black wants me to teach you, an instant burst of power concentrated on one point, which does not involve any talent but is a fighting technique.

We Bloodhoof tauren are really good at this.

After all, we have been fighting centaurs for hundreds of years, and we have developed this style. When we encounter barbarians, we only have that split second to win with one blow.

You are an elf, you should be smart, maybe you will learn quickly. "

On the other side, outside Rune Grove, on the hill near the Gate of Heroes.

Ulan Gaoling, the chief of the Gaoling tauren, and his close comrade-in-arms, the chief of Blood Totem, Turuk Blood Totem, are camping.

Their respective big-antlered deer were tied to the tree. The two antlered oxen were talking and laughing as they made a bonfire for camping. They were also warriors invited by Odin.

Represents the power of High Mountain.

"Hey, Chief Wulan, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Blake was not polite.

He generously walked out of the forest next to the camp, carrying the Wolf's Edge. He raised his hand, and the divine black-feathered falcon flapped its wings and fell from the sky, landing on Blake's arm.

Apparently, it was the pirate's little baby who discovered the traces of the Kaolin Cow in advance and guided him here.

Ulan Gaoling was stunned for a moment when he saw him, and then showed the tauren's unique honest smile.

"We are so lucky that our Eagle Claw Guardian is also traveling here. Come on, Turuk and I are preparing to go hunting nearby. With hunters like you here, we might be able to hunt one today. Where’s the dragon?”

The chief had made a joke.

Turuk Blood Totem laughed loudly next to him, laughing so hard that Blake looked confused.

Will this blood totem tauren who will become the second and fifth generation in the future have such a low laugh point?

Hey, no wonder you surrendered to the Burning Legion. How can you be a great hero with such a low laugh point?

"We will talk about hunting later. I am fulfilling my duties as the guardian of the Eagle Claw, and I have important matters related to the Gaoling clan to report to the chief."

Blake stepped forward and handed a scroll to Ulan Gaoling seriously. He said:

"This is the information I have detected about all the participating members of the trial of strength held by Odin. I have recorded their respective races, origins and strength characteristics on it.

With this thing, the war chief can at least have a preliminary understanding of his opponents.

It has to be said that Odin, the king of war, has a very strong vision in selecting warriors. The warriors he invites are a group of difficult people. The war chief and the chief Turuk must be careful.

This is what I do as Talon Guardian of Highmountain.

You two don't need to thank me. "

After saying that, the pirate didn't stay long, turned around and disappeared into the shadows.

There was not much said about the Bloodhoof Tauren asking for help.

In fact, there was no need for him to say more, because soon, Ulan Gaoling noticed the description of Kane Bloodhoof in the information given by the pirates.

"Bloodhoof tauren! These are our ancient kin scattered across the continent of Kalimdor!"

Ulan exclaimed and handed the scroll in his hand to Turuk, who took it and looked at it. The origin of Kane Bloodhoof and the current situation of the Bloodhoof tribe were clearly written on it.

"Centaur?"

The chief of Blood Totem was breathing heavily in his nostrils. The warrior who pursued strength said disdainfully:

"They were beaten by a group of barbarians and lost their ancestral land. These Bloodhoof Taurens look very weak."

"No, no one is weak who can be invited by the King of War to participate in the trial."

Ulan Gaoling shook his head and said:

"We tauren have a hard time reproducing. According to the information provided by the guardian of the talon, centaurs just belong to that kind of powerful race that grows like a swarm of bees.

On a one-on-one level, tauren are absolutely not afraid of barbarians.

But once it rises to the level of war, it's hard to say.

Perhaps, we can go and meet this fellow human being. "

The high chief of Gaoling glanced at the reckless Turuk and said:

"The Guardian of the Talon must have his purpose in giving us this scroll. Perhaps he is hinting to us that this Cairn Bloodhoof can be our friend in the trial.

Although there is only one winner, it is also a pleasure to have one less opponent and one more friend in the fierce confrontation between warriors of all races.

What do you think? "

"That makes sense."

Turuk is a standard warrior, not very good at thinking.

But he obeyed the orders of Chief Ulan, who was still young and powerful.

The two antlered tauren stood up immediately, untied their moose, and drove towards Rune Grove under the guidance of the black-feathered falcon left by Blake.

Under the guidance of the black-feathered falcon, Ulan and Turuk soon found Kane Bloodhoof who was teaching Fenner.

The two sides were stunned as soon as they met.

Kane looked at the towering antlers of Ulan and Turuk with strange eyes, while Ulan was surprised by the very beautiful horns that Kane had taken care of.

The great chief fell into a strong sense of déjà vu for a moment.

It is said that Kaolin cattle also had a pair of beautiful horns long ago.

It was only later that Huon Gaoling received the blessing of Airot, the spirit of the wilderness, so that the Gaoling cattle all grew unique antlers, although the antlers were also very majestic.

But since it's called a minotaur, of course the horns look more comfortable and have the intimidating power that a bull should have.

Deer antlers always look more artistic.

"Unfamiliar compatriots, I and even Ulan Gaoling, the chief of the Thunder Totem of Gaoling."

Chief Ulan jumped off the moose and said to Kane in ancient Tauren language:

"Under the guidance of Mother Earth, we finally met."

"I am Cairn Bloodhoof, chieftain of the Bloodhoof clan."

Kane also introduced himself in the ancient language, and Lao Niu felt a surge of joy in his heart. It was not only the excitement of meeting people of the same race who had been separated for thousands of years, but also a kind of relaxation from the bottom of his heart.

Hamuir's advice was sound.

He might be able to seek help from his fellow tribesmen in the high mountains in front of him. The Bloodhoof clan had already seen the first glimmer of hope in their plight. Thinking of Black's words before, Lao Niu had a clear understanding in his heart.

This should be the handiwork of that pirate sir.

Ah, he is as helpful as he said. What a good person.

"I heard that you were beaten badly by a group of centaur barbarians?"

Just when Ulan Gaoling was about to continue chatting with his ancient compatriots, Turuk Blood Totem, who was carrying two totems on his back, suddenly said:

"As a chief, why did you abandon your own people at this important time and come here for personal glory?"

These words had a provocative flavor.

Wulan was a little helpless.

The Blood Totem Clan is rich in excellent warriors, but when the concentration of warriors in a place is too high, it will have some very "strange" effects on their way of thinking.

Turuk wanted to see the power of his own race.

Kane, who has such a good temper, was a little angry at Turuk's words. He was about to explain, but he vaguely heard Black's voice ringing in his ears.

“Don’t explain, fight him!

Blood Totem is the most belligerent Kaoling clan, but it is also the most generous Kaoling clan. It is difficult for you to quickly become friends with the wily Ulan Gaoling using words.

But you can use your strength to conquer the reckless men of Blood Totem.

Beat him! Kane.

Win simply and neatly, let him see your strength, and he will take the initiative to be your friend. They are the strongest reinforcements you can find for your people.

Moreover, the tauren of Highmountain have an artifact that shapes the earth. That thing can help you expel the elemental princess behind the centaur.

But first you have to improve the reputation of the Gaoling clan.

Don't forget, Odin is watching too.

So, beat him up! "
