Rise of the blood elves

428【Weird Mantid】

Old Yak Boots took a puff of cigarette and shook his head silently.

After the yak walked over the gentle slope and reached the top of the hill, Lao Li saw the firelight reappearing in his field of vision, and soon realized that he was scared.

The land of Jinxiu Valley is not a flat river. The closer it gets to Panlong's Ridge, the more serious the terrain becomes. In the end, it almost turns into a hilly landform, which does not level off until it reaches the foot of Panlong's Ridge.The reason why we couldn't see the fire just now was because the caravan happened to reach a low-lying area.

Lao Li almost collapsed, gasping for air, shaking his head and saying: "I was so scared that I almost lost my breath."

The old yak boots riding on the yak's neck pinched its legs lightly, and the leading yak stopped.The two yaks behind being led also stopped when they saw this.

"You just said it was a bit strange, what's wrong?" Lao Li asked.

Old Yak Shoes solemnly lit the fire in the distance with his cigarette stick. When Old Li looked, the fire was very close.

"I have smoked two packs of cigarettes, but the fire has never moved away from the beginning. This is not normal."

After hearing this, Lao Li got goosebumps again. Two bags of cigarettes really made his work clothes too short.

He gripped the kitchen knife tightly and comforted himself with a smile: "Don't be scary, Old Yak Boots. It might be the outer sentry point of the Black Guards. The situation has been tense recently. They must have strengthened their defenses in the areas around Canyang Pass. You Say it right”

Old Yak Boots smoked and said nothing, and after a while he said: "But we can't rule out the possibility of something worse. I think we'd better go around it."

Before he finished speaking, the old yak Shitou under Lao Li's crotch suddenly raised his head and let out a "moo", and then began to dig the ground with his front hooves. No matter how uneasy or uneasy Lao Li tried to comfort him, it was useless.

Two other yaks reacted similarly.

Yak Boots and his cousin were all awakened from their sleep by the unusual behavior of their mounts, and the drowsy Angmar also woke up.

"what happened"

Lao Li was almost thrown off by Lao Shitou. Lao Shitou was an old yak that had lived for decades and would never make such a move with a rider on its back.

"We are in trouble." Yak Boots' expression was as serious as water.

The yak is not only a good partner of the land economy and an indispensable camel animal for trade between the north and the south, but it is also a very spiritual animal.Their senses are far more acute than people think.The status of the three-headed mount at this time only means one thing

There are things around that scare even them.

The three land elves each took out a slingshot from the saddle bag, loaded it with stone bullets, and alerted the surroundings.The physique of the land elves is not outstanding, and can even be said to be extremely weak. Their extremely limited potential makes it impossible for them to become strong melee combatants such as Pandaren monks or naturally agile hozens. Their poor and pitiful magic-like talents are also Let them not have the chance to become spell casters like Jinyu Water Whisperer.During their long years of doing business, they were often attacked by steppenwolves or other wild beasts, and gradually honed a unique slingshot skill for self-protection.

Don't underestimate the slingshot skills of the goblins. They can even hit the enemy's eyes accurately from dozens of meters away. No beast or enemy is willing to bear the price of being blinded.

"Is it a wild beast? A direwolf?" Old Li asked very quickly. There were very few wild beasts that attacked pedestrians in the Valley of Eternal Blossoms.Because the beasts are not fools with zero IQ, the environment here is favorable and the food source is abundant. The risk of attacking pedestrians is much greater than that of predators.The only ones who dare to attack a land elf caravan are the "direwolves" that accidentally wandered from Kun-Lai Summit to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms before the Celestial Gate was completed and have multiplied since then.

Old Yak Boots shook his head and tried his best to urge his mount forward, but the yak just stayed put. "The wolf will not make the yak so uneasy."

The yak seems clumsy, and when it gets angry, it can't even do anything to a pack of more than a dozen wolves.During the long years of coexisting with direwolves, yaks have long learned to defend the backs of their kind in danger. They will form a small circle with their buttocks facing inward and their sharp horns pointed outwards.Whenever a wild beast dares to attack you, you must first experience the consequences of being disemboweled.

This is a caravan with three adult yaks. Although it is not a large caravan, it is still easy to frighten twenty or thirty evil wolves, not to mention there are three land elves and a panda on it.

"so what"

As soon as Lao Li said a few words, before he finished speaking, he saw the source of the yak's panic, a slender and tall figure looming in the darkness.It was probably about four meters tall, with a vague insect-like appearance, with large transparent insect wings on its back. It held two golden amber swords in its hands, and its glowing eyes looked particularly terrifying in the night.

"Mantid" Lao Li's mouth was a little dry, "Let's go quickly"

Mantid

Angmar's heart sank, and he instinctively thought that they might have been attracted by the breath of the Heart of Y'Shaarj in his body. He tried his best to release his mental power to explore the surrounding scene, but not only could his mental power not leave the body, I couldn't even lift my head, I couldn't move at all.

After the mantid appeared, the yaks couldn't stop trembling all over their bodies, as if they smelled fear in each other.Finally, he couldn't stand any longer and ran towards the Setting Sun Pass like crazy.

The first one started running, and the other two immediately followed.The three yaks that took off ran away like bulldozers with terrifying power, leaving a long trail of dust and smoke behind them.It's hard to imagine that this creature can run so fast.

Angmar was almost knocked off the board.

Snapped

A crisp sound broke the silence.

As they were moving forward, cousin Yak Felt shot a stone bullet at the mantid without any explanation. It was not affected by the bumps and pointed directly at the mantid's left eye.But there was only a flash of golden light, and the mantid seemed to use the Kepa amber dagger to split the stone bullet, which was only the size of a fingernail, in half in the air without suffering any damage. This kind of dynamic capture ability and hand-eye coordination ability can be called Terrible.

After completing all this, Yak Felt didn't have time to see the outcome of the battle. He hurriedly climbed onto Angmar, pulled out a roll of rope from the saddle, and tied Angma tightly to the wooden board to prevent him from being attacked by Yak Ma. Falling down while running desperately

"They didn't chase us." Lao Li turned around and found the terrifying figure in the darkness, just standing in the distance, letting the caravan go away, and he was immediately overjoyed.

I don't know how long I ran, until the three yaks had foam at the corners of their mouths, and finally they approached the place where they saw the fire.

source of fire

A torch indeed.

It's just a torch that fell to the ground.

Around the torch, there were more than a dozen city wall guards wearing Shado-Pan black uniforms lying. Their death conditions were extremely miserable, their bodies had been cut into pieces, and their limbs and broken arms were scattered all over the ground.Just passing by quickly, the smell of blood filled their noses made Lao Li and the three land spirits grit their teeth.

It turned out to be the case.

Those mantids just attacked these black guards on night patrol.

Due to the east wind, they were upwind and could not smell any blood.

Seeing the majestic and flaming Sunset Pass on the city wall close in front of them, and seeing the city wall guards noticing the movement on their side and shouting and asking questions, several people were relieved.

The feeling of surviving a disaster

very nice.
