Rise of the blood elves

386【Mogushan Treasure House】

The mountain wind howled, carrying goose feathers and heavy snow on the face.Located in a high mountain, the air is thin and clear, and through the mist of snow and fog, you can have a panoramic view of the distant scenery.

"This should be the mountains in the southern part of the ancient continent of Kalimdor."

It was noon at this time. Through the direction and altitude of the sunlight, Angmar roughly judged his position and fell into deep thought.

Since the ancient timeline has been separated by the Fallen, and restricted by the rules of time, it is impossible for the portal formed by the power of time in the scales to teleport to a later era than the ancient times.In this way, no matter what era it is, the continent of Kalimdor at this time has not been torn apart by the explosion of the Well of Eternity, and there will be many differences from the world in my impression.

Although this is the case, the surrounding landforms cannot appear in the southwestern and southeastern areas of the continent.

Not far to the east, there is a huge gap in the terrain, with lush lowland green fields and dense forests, and the scenery is extremely beautiful;

On the west side are continuous snow-capped mountains, some of which are even more steep than the cliffs where they are located;

Looking to the south, there is an endless expanse of land. Beyond the snow line, the permafrost plains still at high altitudes appear a slightly dull yellow color. Occasionally, there are yak-like creatures with thick body hair foraging on the plains.Looking further away, the view is blocked by a valley surrounded by a crater. Since the crater is high in the south and low in the north, Angmar can just see the beautiful golden scenery in the valley, as well as many ancient buildings with a strong Mogu style.

To the north is the boundless fertile plain, and at the end of the field of vision is a continuous mountain range rising from the ground. The height is no less than the mountains where it is located, but the highest point is still covered by dense forests.

All these things clearly indicate one point.

"Kun-Lai Summit."

Angmar named the land beneath his feet.

To be precise, this land actually doesn't have a name yet.

Kun-Lai Summit is the name given to this place by the land elves living here. It was later used by the pandaren, jinyu, hozen and other races, as well as the Alliance tribes that entered Pandaria. However, in today's ancient times, the land elves have not yet formed. Our own sound society and culture may even be uncivilized, so we naturally have no way of naming this land.

"The Valley of the Four Winds in the east, the Vale of Eternal Blossoms in the south, and the Zandalar Mountains in the north."

Angmar called out the names of the lands he could see one after another, and then realized a problem.

He was clearly standing at the east end of the snowy peak of Kun-Lai Mountain, looking eastward. There were obviously no mountains that would block his sight, and there were no blind spots in his field of vision, but he did not see White Tiger Xuenu's temple.Even if this concrete real world is far broader than what you know, it shouldn't be like this.

Just like the Niuzao Temple of Black Bull Niuzao, the Qinglong Temple of Qinglong Yulong, and the Suzaku Temple of Suzaku Chijing, the historical record of the specific completion time of the Shitenjin Temple is unclear, but what can be confirmed is that these four The temple is definitely not a relic from the Titan Order period, and it is even less likely to be built by the Mogu. It was built by the Pandaren who worshiped and believed in the Four Gods.

Looking at the history of the mogu, in 15000 years of the Black Gate calendar, when the Zandalari trolls united the three major tribes to form the Zul Empire to fight against the resurgent Aqir, the mogu first lost the guidance of the high-level guardian Raiden. , infected with the curse of flesh and blood and fell into confusion, entered a long period of warlord melee, known in history as the Age of Hundred Kings.

After the rise of the God of Thunder, he enslaved all races, defeated and enslaved the Four Heavenly Gods one after another, and abolished the worship of the Four Heavenly Gods by the Pandaren and other races. Until the death of the God of Thunder, time passed to 12000 years of the Black Gate Calendar, and the Pandaren united with other enslaved races to overthrow the God of Thunder. After overthrowing the brutal rule of the Mogu Empire, they restored their faith in the Four Heavenly Gods.

Herein lies the problem. Although the temples of the Four Heavenly Gods were built by the Pandaren, no one knows whether the temples were built in the Age of Hundred Kings before the rise of the Thunder God, or during the Pandaren Empire after 12000 years in the Black Gate Calendar.

Combining this question, Angmar finally had a guess about the era he lived in.

The first situation is that he traveled to before the Mogu Hundred Kings era.It is at least a span of 5000 years from the ancient timeline; the second one is after the Age of Hundred Kings and before the Pandaren Empire, that is, the 15000 years between 12000 and 3000 in the Black Gate Calendar. , in this case, the previous question will be settled.Xuenu Temple and other "Celestial God" temples were indeed built during the Pandaren Empire, so there is currently no trace of it.

"Did you travel back at least 2000 years?"

Based on various clues, Angmar came to a conclusion and looked down at the Nozdormu scales in his hand.

For some unknown reason, the scales had grown into the palm of his right hand, as if they were an inseparable part of his body.At this time, it was dim and irrelevant, covered with tiny cracks. Half of the time power inside was consumed by this transmission. It seemed that it would be completely broken within one or two times.

Considering the number of uses of the scales claimed by the Fallen, Angmar could at least know that was not accurate.The number of times the scales are used should depend on the amount of internal time power. The longer the time travels, the greater the loss.

Suddenly, the dark whispers sounded in his ears again, and a strong sense of dizziness hit him, making him unable to help but kneel down. If it weren't for the warning from the essence of the Sunwell, he wouldn't even realize that the Blade of Xal'atath's Dark Empire shouldn't It's part of your own body.

This ominous blade almost disappeared into the chest. It was so inconspicuous that although it still absorbed Angmar's life force and replaced it with shadow energy, it seemed to be one with him.

Angmar stared at it in confusion for a while before throwing out of his mind the strange thought that "the ominous blade should be inserted into my chest and bring me sublimation".

it's corrupting me

Angmar gritted his teeth and kept reciting these words silently.After he sobered up a little, he felt that he was lucky. Now that the Vale of Eternal Blossoms had appeared and the surrounding natural beauty was harmonious, it proved that at least this would not be the Dark Empire period when the Old Gods ruled Azeroth before the Titans were ordered. .

Whether it's the Vale of Eternal Blossoms or Kun-Lai Summit, there are many powerful devices left behind by the Titans, which should be able to purify the corruption brought by Xal'atath, or at least curb their own decline into shadow creatures.

As for other things, we can only consider them later.The limited clues make it impossible to determine whether Raiden lost control of the mogu due to depression. This is related to whether he can successfully obtain the use of those devices.

With this in mind, he walked toward the foot of the mountain, one foot deep and one foot shallow.Corrupted by the shadow energy, this body, reshaped by the essence collected by Loa, has lost its strong vitality and has become extremely weak.

Stepping in knee-deep snow, amidst the ruthless howling of the biting cold wind, Angmar did not dare to separate out the remaining essence of the Sunwell to keep himself warm, and his whole body could not help but tremble.Drops of black blood flowed down the broken robe, leaving a path of corruption accompanied by footprints on the snow. Occasionally, small tentacles sprouted from the blood, dancing crazily, showing a trace of the physical world. Strong inexplicable desire.

"Open the treasure house door, now it belongs to Lord Qi Fei"

A low voice suddenly came from under his feet. Angmar couldn't understand what language it was, but through mental fluctuations, he understood its meaning.

He pondered for a moment, tried his best to lower his body to prevent himself from losing his footing on the snow slope, climbed to the edge of the cliff, and looked down.

It was a giant platform built halfway up the mountain, a magnificent gate in the style of a Titan creation, locking all the secrets in the heart of the mountain.Combined with the location he was in, Angmar almost instantly thought of its name, Mogushan Holy Terrace, and Mogushan Treasure House.

Hope suddenly rose in his heart.

This titan-created treasure house contains many creation devices with different functions, the most extraordinary of which is the Nalak'sha Engine, which Thor used to remove the curse of flesh and blood from the mogu.

This is Angmar's way to save himself. The Engine of Nalak'sha can definitely cleanse the corruption of Xal'atath's Dark Empire Blade.

Angmar suppressed his eagerness to try and watched secretly.

In front of the gate, stood a group of extremely tall mogu guards.He faced off against a large group of Mogu soldiers who were much smaller than him and whose weapons and equipment were miscellaneous.The person who just spoke was one of the leaders of the Mogu soldiers.

But these Mogu looked extremely strange. Their stone-like bodies were mottled, and their exposed cheeks and arms were made of soft flesh and hard rock.

These mogu are being infected by the Curse of Flesh

Angmar's eyes lit up and he immediately judged the specific era he was in. The next scene confirmed his guess.

"You warlord factions have long forgotten the inherent responsibilities of Mogu. I will never let you desecrate this holy land. Leave quickly, or I will punish you on behalf of the master." The guard leader shook the long knife in his hand and shouted sharply. , blocking the door without fear.

The Mogu soldiers were obviously afraid of this particularly tall guard leader, and they all retreated, leaving a large area of ​​​​field empty.

"Hmph, you're just a rat," the guard leader said proudly upon seeing this. His rich voice combined with his terrifying size gave him a sense of oppression, and he seemed to be looking down on all things.

The warlord chaos begins at the beginning of the curse of flesh and blood

That's right, I have returned to the Age of Hundred Kings from 15000 to 12200 years in the Black Gate Calendar.

Raiden has been in self-isolation for 1000 years because he received the memory of the Titan's death. Although the mogu tribe, the titan creations under his command, are confused, they still adhere to their former mission, firmly believing that their master will one day appear in front of the people and help his people. Valuable guidance.

However, the traitorous guardian Loken sent out to search for Raiden's creation, but accidentally transmitted the curse of flesh and blood to the mogu people in the far south.When the curse of flesh and blood eats away at their bodies, erodes their will, and makes them taste death and fear, their indestructible faith finally crumbles and they turn to seeking a clear future.

During this period, culture did not exist, disputes arose, and hundreds of kings fought for the world. During the 3000-year civil strife, only when the mantid in the west, that is, those aqirs who were defeated at the hands of the trolls and fled to the south, and their bodies degenerated. When the bugs attack, they will put aside their disputes and join forces to fight against the foreign enemies.

Such troubled times continued until the young mogu found Raiden and attacked his former master, taking away his essence and power. He controlled the power of thunder and lightning and was named "Thunder God". He unified the major warlord factions and established an insurmountable power. The Mogu Empire of this lifetime came to an end.

"The tone is very loud and full of masters and responsibilities. Your so-called master has disappeared long ago. Where was he when we were suffering for 4000 years?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the warlord soldiers who were touching the treasure house of Mogu Mountain. The array immediately separated to both sides, and out came a leader with a golden helmet and thick armor, a cape hanging on his back, and a demeanor full of cruelty.

"Qi Fei", the guard leader, was obviously wary of the intruder and involuntarily raised his weapon.

"It's me." The warlord known as "Qi Fei" sneered, waved his hands, and his soldiers immediately formed an offensive formation, pointing their weapons directly at the guards, "I issued an ultimatum ten days ago, asking you to hand over Control of the treasure house. It seems that you are determined to be buried with your master."

"presumptuous"

When the guard leader heard this, he couldn't help but lift up his long sword, and with a sudden arrow step, he instantly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and launched a storm-like attack on Qi Fei.Qi Fei was also good at it. He parried from left to right and launched counterattacks from time to time. Two behemoths four to five meters high started fighting like this. Every move seemed to be a killing move honed in thousands of battles. From complexity to simplicity, there is nothing fancy, it is purely a competition of strength.

Angmar saw that no one from the two sides came forward, as if this kind of duel between leaders and generals was the Mogu's agreed-upon duel method.

After a few minutes, Qi Fei finally caught the flaw of the guard leader. He did not hesitate to trade a small injury for a big one, completely gave up on defense, and stabbed the guard leader through the chest with a knife.

The guard leader was also brave. He roared, and regardless of the worsening of his injury, he pulled the long-handled knife that was thrust into his right chest and approached Qi Fei. He slashed off Qi Fei's left arm with his backhand.The cross-section was extremely neat, half rock, half flesh, with thick, gray blood flowing out.

"Uh-huh," Qi Fei cried out in pain, and was defeated surrounded by several soldiers.

The guard leader pulled out the weapon from his chest, but no blood flowed from the wound.It turns out that the degree of erosion caused by the curse of flesh and blood on him is much milder than that of the other party. The wound happened to be located on the rocky part of the body, so the injury was not fatal.

He stood with a knife in his hand, looked around proudly and said: "Get out of here!"

But Qi Fei, who was bandaging the wound with the help of his men, laughed sinisterly. At his signal, the large group of soldiers suddenly separated to both sides.A wave of spears came suddenly, and the guard leader was unable to dodge and was shot into a hedgehog. Several treasure house guards near the front were not spared either.

"Qi Fei, you villain"

Qi Fei sneered, waved his remaining right hand, and his soldiers swarmed forward and attacked the treasure house gate.Although the guards were much larger than these compatriots, they were outnumbered and soon fell into a hard fight. After a few minutes, no one survived and they were all killed.Qi Fei took the key from the guard leader, opened the door, and swarmed in with his soldiers. Guards kept running out of the treasure house, or activating defense mechanisms to resist the intruders.

In the chaos, Angmar used his remaining magic power to grant himself the slow fall and invisibility spells, and landed on the platform.
