World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 356

c356 The war begins

The Barren Land is full of rocks and sand. In the north of this barren land, there are three green spots, namely the Sweet Water Oasis, the Dead Water Oasis and the Forgotten Pool.

The three oases are of different sizes, among which the Sweet Water Oasis covers the largest area, the Dead Water Oasis is the second largest, and the Forgotten Pool is the smallest.

The sizes of the lakes in the three oases are also in this order.

The little fish man’s empty barrel drilled into the underground river of the Dead Water Oasis Lake and found a lake larger than the Dead Water Oasis at the other end of the river. Yang Yi immediately determined that it was the Sweet Water Oasis. Because in the entire Barren Land, only the lake in the Sweet Water Oasis is larger than the Dead Water Oasis.

“Your action this time is too risky. What if you encounter a hydra in the underground river? Don’t do this next time.” Yang Yi said to the little fish man’s empty barrel.

This little fish man is too brave and dares to go anywhere. Yang Yi is afraid that he will be in danger one day. It will be bad.

When Xiao Yu Ren Kong Jiu Tong was scolded by Yang Yi, he said with a pursed mouth: “I understand.”

Yang Yi smiled when he saw his aggrieved look. “Your discovery of the dark river channel this time is a merit. This lord will remember it and reward you with something good next time.”

After all, Xiao Yu Ren Kong Jiu Tong is still a child. When he heard about the reward, he immediately grinned.

Before Yang Yi rewarded Xiao Yu Ren Kong Jiu Tong with a level 2 fine quality [Witchcraft Cane], he showed off in front of his friends for several days, which made them envious. If he gets a new reward, he can show off for a long time.

“You go back to the village. Keep the discovery of the dark river channel a secret. Don’t mention it to anyone, otherwise your reward will be gone.” Yang Yi said.

Yang Yi sent Xiao Yu Ren Kong Jiu Tong back to Dead Water Village.

Xiao Yu Ren Kong Jiu Tong came back, and Yang Yi could just hand over the affairs of Dead Water Village to him to manage, and he, the mayor, would have more free time after becoming a hands-off boss.

Yang Yi then stayed by the lake and fished with peace of mind.

Yang Yi did not intend to tell anyone about the discovery of the underground river channel connecting the Dead Water Oasis and the Sweet Water Oasis, especially the orcs. The orcs were planning to launch an offensive against the Kokar Centaurs in the Sweet Water Oasis. If they knew that this channel existed, they might come up with some ideas.

The key is that it is not easy for the orcs to take the underground river channel, and they will definitely ask the mermen to work for them.

The orcs occupied the Dead Water Village, and Yang Yi wanted to drive them away but it was too late, let alone help the orcs.

In this way, Yang Yi fished for another two days, and he found that the number of [mutated fish] caught began to decrease.

The fishing skill was upgraded to one level, but the number of [mutated fish] caught decreased. There is only one explanation, that is, the [mutated fish] in the lake is almost gone.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi put away the fishing rod.

Let the merman hunters catch the remaining fish, and catch as many as they can.

Yang Yi returned to the town center of the Dead Water Village.

He was restricted by the orcs from leaving Deadwater Village. He wanted to contact the outside world through the mailbox, but found that the mailbox in the village could not receive or send mail.

Yang Yi knew that this must be a trick of the orcs. It should be that some magic was used to interfere with the delivery of letters in the nearby area.

But Yang Yi was not completely unaware of the outside world. Every day when he went offline, he would browse the forum to see if there was any news about the Barrens.

Yang Yi learned from the forum that not only the orcs had sent troops to station in Deadwater Village recently, but even the centaurs in Sweetwater Oasis were ready to move, as if there was something big going on.

When I came back from the lake just now, I saw that the atmosphere of the orc soldiers was not right. They were wearing helmets and armor and seemed to be about to take action.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi lay down in the center of the town and disconnected from the world of Azeroth.

In the forum, Yang Yi found the hot posts about the Barrens at first glance.

When I clicked on it, I found out that an adventurer had discovered that the Korkar Centaur army in Sweetwater Oasis had set out, and the Great Khan Hezrul Bloodseal personally led the army and headed towards the crossroads.

This was a major event, and the post immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Many people who were interested kept posting comments below, reporting the progress of the event in real time, almost catching up with the live broadcast.

In addition, various rumors about the Korkar Centaur and the Horde Orcs also aroused people’s interest.

Someone posted that the Great Khan of the Korkar Centaur had been preparing to attack the crossroads after learning that the orcs had been defeated in Ashenvale.

Others said that a team of adventurers discovered the plan of the Korkar Centaur to attack the crossroads and informed the orcs of the plan, so the orcs stationed a War Song Legion in the Deadwater Oasis.

There was even news that the centaurs in the Desolate Land were also restless and seemed to be heading to the Barrens.

In short, all kinds of gossip were flying around on the forum, and no one knew whether they were true or false.

But the news about the Kolkar Centaur Army in Deadwater Oasis should not be false, because many adventurers who claim to be in the Barrens responded that they saw the dust raised by the Centaur Army from a long distance, and kept giving the location of the Centaur Army.

The Kolkar Centaur marched very fast, and according to the latest news, the army is about to arrive at the crossroads.

Yang Yi was very surprised. He expected that the war would break out, but he did not expect that the Kolkar Centaur would be the first to launch an attack.

Knowing that the war had begun, Yang Yi reconnected to the world of Azeroth.

Waking up from the center of the town, Yang Yi immediately ran to the Orc Army and observed the situation from a distance with Eagle Eye.

The Orc Army had already lined up and was filing out of the gate of Deadwater Village.

Sure enough, the orcs also got information about the Kokar Centaur attacking the crossroads.

Yang Yi previously thought that the delay in taking action by the orc army in Backwater Village was because they were preparing for war, but now it seemed that they were waiting for the opportunity.

If you use straight lines to connect the intersection, sweet water oasis and backwater oasis on the map, it will be approximately an equilateral triangle. The Crossroads is to the north, the Sweetwater Oasis is to the southwest, and the Backwater Oasis is to the southeast.

The orc army stationed in the Backwater Oasis and the defenders at the crossroads formed an arm’s length relationship, which could not only contain the Kokar Centaur in the Sweetwater Oasis, but also reinforce each other when the Kokar Centaur attacked.

This is also an important reason why Eitrigg stationed the orc army in the backwater village.

Now the Kokar centaur army launched an attack from the southwest towards the crossroads. The orc army stationed in the backwater village attacked at this time, just in time to cooperate with the defenders at the crossroads to attack the enemy. It was an excellent opportunity.

At this time, Yang Yi only hoped that the fighting between the two sides would end soon, and that the orcs would withdraw from the backwater village as soon as possible.

The orc army moved out, but some defenders were still left in the backwater village.

The Backwater Village suddenly became much empty. Some curious fishmen wanted to run out of the city gate, but Yang Yi called them back.

Eitrigg asked the murlocs to stay in the designated area, and said that no murlocs were allowed to leave before the orc army launched an offensive against the Sweetwater Oasis.

Yang Yi just used his eagle eye to see Eitrigg also setting off with the orc army. He couldn’t ask Eitrigg, and he didn’t know if the murlocs could leave now.

Anyway, after waiting for so many days, there is no rush.

Yang Yi simply continued to stay in the backwater village, not even going fishing.

In the hotel in Backwater Village, Yang Yi filled his stomach with a delicious meal.

He saw the murloc hunter carrying basket after basket of [mutated fish] into the hotel, and then the murloc chef made them into [delicious wind snakes].

Making [Delicious Wind Snake] is not difficult and only requires a level 2 chef to complete it.

Cookie and Spoon and the other murloc chefs all stayed in Ratchet Town, and there was only one level 2 murloc chef in the backwater village.

Seeing the fish baskets containing [mutated fish] piling up in the hotel, Yang Yi suddenly had an idea.

“Why don’t I learn cooking too, so that I can cook delicious food when I go out without having to chew on dried pork.”

Just do what comes to mind.

Yang Yi called the only level 2 fishman chef in Backwater Village and asked him to teach him how to cook.

When this level 2 murloc chef learned that he was going to teach the mayor how to cook, he was so excited that he could hardly speak, and his hands were shaking to the point where he could sift through chaff. This is truly a great honor for Yu Sheng, enough to make this fish man boast about it for the rest of his life.

The first recipe Yang Yi learned was [Delicious Small Fish].

He remembered that the first food he tasted cooked by a chef in the world of Azeroth was [delicious fish].

At that time, the fish-man spoon had just come to Ratchet Town, and the [delicious fish] he grilled was fragrant and tender. Yang Yi was full of praise after eating, and ate ten of them in one go, which made the little fish people waiting to eat the fish almost drool.

[Delicious little fish] is a level 1 food, and the preparation process is very simple. The level 2 fishman chef taught him step by step, and Yang Yi learned it quickly.

Use a knife to cut open the fresh fish, remove the internal organs, stick a wooden stick in it, and then grill it on the fire without adding any seasonings.

The small fish does not need to be grilled for a long time, and the aroma of the grilled fish will spread quickly.

Yang Yi kept turning the grilled fish to prevent it from being burnt.

When the small fish is grilled until it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the grilled fish is done.

“Ding! Your cooking skill has increased to 1.”

“You learned the recipe: delicious little fish.”

“You picked up the item: [Delicious little fish].”

“Ding! Understand the professional skill – cooking.”

“Cooking Level: Level 1.”

A series of reminder sounds sounded in Yang Yi’s ears.

“Oh, now I have become a level 1 chef.” Yang Yi looked proud. “As a fish-man lord, my body is really endowed with talents. I must have a small cooking skill at my fingertips.”

The mayor successfully made [delicious fish] for the first time. The level 2 fishman chef was shocked and speechless. He admired the mayor and drooled in admiration.

Although cooking is an auxiliary skill that is relatively easy to master in the profession, becoming a qualified chef is not that easy. Just like this level 2 fishman chef, he worked as a chef apprentice for a year, and then he was so blessed when he was cooking food that he was lucky enough to become a level 1 chef. His results were considered outstanding among the chef apprentices who were studying together at the time, and I don’t know how many of his peers envied him.

The level 2 fishman chef, who thought he had excellent results, was simply heaven and earth compared to the mayor. No wonder he turned from shock to admiration.

Yang Yi’s attention was all on the [delicious fish]. He opened his fish-man’s mouth and stuffed the fish he grilled himself into his mouth.

“Fragrant, tender, and as delicious as spoon-roasted.”

Yang Yi praised it and swallowed the small fish in one gulp.
