World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 368

c368 Sky Blade Azeri

To the south of Camp Taurajo, Yang Yi kept searching for traces of Sky Blade Azeri in the air, and would only fly back to the hotel in Camp Taurajo to rest at night.

Several days have passed, during which Yang Yi discovered several wind snakes.

The bodies of these wind snakes don’t look much different from ordinary big snakes. The only difference is that they have feather crests on their heads and wings on their ribs. This magical animal is very good at flying, and it can spit thunder and lightning. No wonder it is also called the Thunder Eagle.

But the wings of these wind snakes are not red, and they are not what Yang Yi is looking for.

As a last resort, Yang Yi could only expand the scope of his search. He went all the way south and even searched the entire Giant Wilderness.

The Wilderness of the Giants is named after the tall pillars of earth that rise out of the ground like giants. These pillars are home to large insect creatures called silithids.

Whenever Yang Yi flies over the top of a huge earth pillar, he can always see hatching insect eggs and a large group of scorpions crawling around.

According to the tauren at Taurajo Camp, they have never seen this kind of creature in the Barrens before, and they don’t know what their arrival heralds. These insects are rumored to possess a certain degree of intelligence, and the minotaurs fear that the appearance of these silithid scorpions is just the beginning of an invasion.

Yang Yi had no interest in these alien scorpions and earth pillars until he discovered the charred marks left by the flames on several earth pillars.

It seems that the invasion of these silithid scorpions angered Skyblade Azeri, so it attacked them with fire. Of course, this is just Yang Yi’s guess, provided that these scorched black marks were indeed left by Sky Blade Azeri.

Suspected to have found a clue, Yang Yi became more confident. He searched near the burned earth pillars, looking for recent traces of time.

The clues led Yang Yi further south.

The hard work paid off. Over a place called Blackthorn Mountain, Yang Yi finally discovered a red wind snake flying rapidly towards him.

Yang Yi’s heartbeat accelerated instantly and he quickly used the Lord’s Eye.

[Name]: Azeri

…

That’s it!

The goal was determined, and the long-planned taming plan was immediately launched.

Yang Yi, who was riding on the back of a big bat, raised the [Eagle Horn Longbow] without saying a word and fired an arrow.

Yang Yi’s arrow hit Azeri flying in the air, successfully attracting its hatred.

Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly asked the goblin Deslik to command the big bat to land on the Black Thorn Mountain. The first step in his plan was to lure Azeri to the ground.

The air is Ezeli’s home field, and it is extremely dangerous for Yang Yi on the back of the big bat, but it is different on the ground.

Azeri was flying freely in the sky when an extremely ugly big bat flew in front of him, with two strange-looking humanoid creatures riding on the back of the big bat. As a wind snake, Azeri is not a mindless beast who will do whatever he sees. He only becomes extremely aggressive when protecting his territory and wind snake eggs, such as burning invading silithids with flames.

Ezeli originally thought that this encounter was just a mistake, but he didn’t expect a sharp arrow to be shot at him.

Who was provoked?

Ezeli, who was hit by an arrow, was enraged. He saw the big bat carrying the culprit on its back falling towards the top of the mountain. It sped up and chased after him with a [dive].

Is Sky Blade Ezeri’s name in vain?

Azeri’s flying speed is extremely fast, and coupled with the speed bonus of [Dive], it pulls out a long afterimage in the air. Coupled with the fact that its body was red like fire snake scales, it really gave the impression of a burning sharp blade cutting through the sky.

This won’t work. The bat will definitely be caught up before it lands on the top of the mountain. In that case, Yang Yi’s plan will be ruined.

Yang Yi quickly raised his bow again, turned around and fired an instant [Concussive Shot].

[Concussion Shot] hits Ezeri, slowing him down by 50%.

The duration of this deceleration effect was only 4 seconds, but it was enough. The big bat took the time to land on the top of the mountain, and Yang Yi immediately jumped off the big bat’s back.

[Concussion Shot] further angered Ezeri. He opened his snake’s mouth, condensed a fireball, and spit it out towards Yang Yi who was shooting the arrow.

This is a common [Fireball Technique].

Yang Yi’s combat experience is getting more and more mature, how can he be afraid of a mere fireball technique.

He doesn’t have the skill to dodge fireballs like Chen Nanfeng, but he has skills.

After having enough time to wait until the fireball was about to approach, Yang Yi jumped away with a [Heroic Leap].

Yang Yizheng was proud of successfully dodging the fireball, but unexpectedly a large pillar of fire suddenly rose under his feet.

The next moment, with the fire pillar as the center, raging fires ignited all around.

It’s obvious that this is Ezeli’s masterpiece again.

After setting the fire, Aizeri fluttered his wings and flew into the sky, seemingly intending to distance himself and use his fire skills to launch long-range attacks in the air.

[Heroic Leap] had just been used and could not be used again. Yang Yi was surrounded by fire.

What Yang Yi is most worried about at the moment is that Ezeli will fly higher and higher and eventually fly away. In that case, he wonders if there will be a chance to encounter it next time.

So Yang Yi didn’t rush to take the time to run out of the flames. He stood in the fire and endured the burning pain, and threw a [Murloc Net] towards Aizeli who was flying high.

As luck would have it, the fishman net lived up to its expectations and hit the target accurately.

Trapped in the fish-man net, Azeri was unable to flap his wings and fell from the air into the fire he had set.

Azeri, who fell to the ground, was still struggling. He first cast a fire shield on himself, then opened his snake mouth again and began to condense a fireball again.

Yang Yi knew it was still [Fireball] at a glance.

Facing the scorching fireball that was about to condense, Yang Yi did not hide far away, but ran to Azeri in one step, like a moth to a flame.

[Fake Death]!

Yang Yi, who rushed to Azeri, suddenly fell down and pretended to be dead.

Azeri’s [Fireball] instantly lost its target and the casting was interrupted.

Facing this mandatory judgment at the rule level without encountering skill resistance, Azeri could only fail.

Huh? The battle is over.

Azeri instantly ignored Yang Yi’s existence.

It remembered that it was just passing by, so it planned to break free from the fishman net and continue on its way.

Lying on the ground, Yang Yi was just pretending to be dead. He suddenly opened his eyes and took the opportunity to throw a [Freezing Trap] on the ground.

By the time Azeri reacted, it was too late. It triggered the trap on the ground and was frozen in a large block of ice.

The plan succeeded. Yang Yi got up and used the [Tame Beast] skill on the frozen Azeri.

The light of the Taming skill lit up in Yang Yi’s hand, connecting him and Azeri like a bond.

At this time, there was still a raging fire on the ground.

Fortunately, Yang Yi had just bought himself a pretty good set of equipment not long ago. Not only did it double his health, but the three pieces of Black Dragon Mail also provided an additional 40 points of fire resistance.

This gave Yang Yi the confidence to withstand the fire.

The next thing went unusually smoothly.

Yang Yi found that after he used the Taming skill on Azeri, it seemed to calm down all of a sudden. Even after the freezing effect disappeared, it did not escape or attack him, but looked at him quietly, or at the Kodo leather bag hanging around his waist.

After a while, the fire on the ground went out, and then the guidance time of the skill [Tame Beast] ended.

A white light rose above Azeri.

“Success!”

Yang Yi successfully tamed Azeri.

“I’m not dreaming, I succeeded in one go.”

Yang Yi was a little bit unbelievable, but Azeri, who was licking his snake tongue like a flatterer, told him that it was true.

“Is it because of the feather in the bag?”

Yang Yi remembered Azeri’s strange reaction just now, and its eyes seemed to be attracted by its kodo leather bag.

Thinking of this, Yang Yi reached out to open the kodo leather bag and poured the contents on the ground.

In addition to a piece of note paper, there was only a feather in the kodo leather bag.

The feather that Azeri saw was like a hungry beast finding its prey, and it pounced on it.

Azeri bit the feather in one bite, and then the snake head tilted up and swallowed the whole feather into its stomach.

After swallowing the feather, Azeri flapped his wings happily towards Yang Yi, looking very happy.

“What’s going on?” Yang Yi was puzzled.

After being tamed as a pet, the beast usually obeys the command and will not eat anything without the hunter’s consent. But when Azeri saw the feather, he jumped on it without command and swallowed it, and after eating it, it was like a tonic, instantly raising the pet’s happiness value to the maximum.

Under normal circumstances, the hunter needs to feed the newly tamed pet continuously, so that the pet can stay happy and increase the pet’s intimacy with the hunter.

“This saves the meat I was going to feed you.”

Yang Yi said and took out a few pieces of [pork jerky] from another bag. Azeri took one of them and swallowed it raw.

The tamed Azeri was swallowing the jerky one by one. Yang Yi observed it and found that after swallowing the feather, except for the spirit becoming happy, there seemed to be no other convenient changes.

Yang Yi took another look with the Lord’s Eye.

[Name]: Azeri

[Qualification]: B

[Level]: Level 6

[Type]: Beast (Wind Serpent)

[Gender]: Female

[Features]: Fast Flight, Flame Enhancement, Enhanced Devouring

[Skills]: Dive, Fireball, Flame Spikes, Fire Protection

“B Qualification, Level 6, 3 specialties, 4 skills. Not bad, worthy of the name of Sky Blade.” Yang Yi was very satisfied with the attributes of the newly tamed pet.

Before finding Azeri, Yang Yi encountered several wind snakes, which usually used thunder and lightning attack skills such as [Lightning Breath]. But Azeri is obviously an outlier. The two attack skills it mastered are both related to fire, and it also has a magic shield skill [Fire Protection] that absorbs fire damage.

“Magatha asked me to tame it, but she didn’t frame me.” Yang Yi thought for a while, “The feather that Magatha gave played a key role in the process of taming Azeri. This is obviously carefully prepared.”

What is the purpose of Magatha doing this?
