World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 376
c376 The power of blight plague
There are countless tauren clans living on the Mulgore Grasslands, the two largest clans being the Bloodhoof Clan and the Eaglewind Clan. For Ratchet who wants to form an alliance with the Thunder Bluff tauren, it is very important to gain the support of the Hawkwind clan.
After Yang Yi met Chief Eaglewind at the Naraqi camp, he immediately ran to the Thornblade Canyon, the home of the Thornback Wild Boars.
Chief Thornmane has eaten food mixed with the poisonous spores of [Blight Toadstool], and must have been infected by the Blight Plague. Yang Yi doesn’t need to worry about the remaining thornback quilboars, just wait for them to be infected by the blight plague.
Yang Yi also wanted to know about the power of the Blight Plague. He hid in the dark and quietly observed the changes in the Thorny Blade Canyon.
On the third day, Chief Thornmane’s skin gradually turned black.
Chief Thornmane found that he had lost his appetite for food, which made him feel very uncomfortable for being the best eater in the whole Thornback clan.
The furious Chief Thornmane smashed everything in the lair and even slashed at Thornmane with his sword.
The quilboar who brought food to the chief was beaten up and escaped with a bitten arm.
On the sixth day, Chief Thornmane had not eaten for three days.
Chief Thornmane’s burly and majestic body shriveled up visibly to the naked eye, and gray spots appeared on his dark skin.
Chief Thornmane became more and more irritable, and he opened his mouth to bite his tribesmen when he saw them. The other wild boar people all hid far away when they saw the chief.
The thornback mystic, who was well respected in the clan, was invited to visit the chieftain. The old quilboar used magic and herbs to heal the chieftain.
Day nine, at the mouth of Thorny Blade Canyon.
Yang Yi stood on a boulder holding the [Eagle Horn Longbow], guarding the only passage in and out of the canyon. Sky Blade Ezeri soars in the air, ready to swoop down at any time and breathe fire into the valley passage.
The ground at the entrance of the valley was scorched black, and a dull-eyed thorn-backed wild boar man walked out of the thorn-blade canyon with a big wooden stick in his hand.
The thornback quilboar’s skin has begun to fester, and it appears that it has lost its sense of self. It was obvious that he had been infected by the blight plague and turned into a blightboar, an undead.
Yang Yi put away the [Eagle Horn Longbow], jumped down from the boulder, and stopped in front of the withered wild boar man.
Seeing a living creature, the withered wild boar man’s eyes were fixed directly on Yang Yi, and there was suddenly an almost instinctive desire in his dull eyes.
The withered wild boar man raised his upper arms, opened his big mouth full of fangs and dirt, and stepped towards Yang Yi.
This withered boar man wants to attack Yang Yi. It seems that he does not intend to use the big wooden stick in his hand, but intends to use his teeth as weapons.
The withered boar man wanted to bite Yang Yi, but of course Yang Yi wouldn’t let him succeed.
He took off the [Kristasa’s Dragon’s Breath Amulet] that he had been wearing around his neck and pointed it at the withered wild boar man coming towards him.
“Go to hell.”
A stream of red flames instantly burst out from the amulet.
The flames swept away like a strong wind, engulfing the withered boar man with a roar.
The red flames came and went as quickly as they came, and the withered wild boar man fell to the ground as if his soul had been sucked away.
[Kristrasza’s Dragon’s Breath Amulet] The flames spewed out have a very strong restraint effect on dark creatures. From the outside, this withered boar man didn’t have any wounds, but he was completely dead.
Seeing the withered wild boar man fall, Yang Yi waved to the sky.
Sky Blade Azeri immediately swooped down and directed a huge fire towards the ground.
The quilboar’s corpse was quickly burned out of shape, exuding a pungent smell of burnt meat.
When the fire was extinguished, Yang Yi stepped forward and kicked the charred wooden stick away. “It’s really unlucky. Why are all the wild boars here so poor?”
In the past few days, Yang Yi has been guarding the mouth of the Thorny Blade Canyon, specifically intercepting and killing the withered wild boars that have turned into undead to prevent them from escaping. He heard from the tauren that these thornback quilboars often robbed their things, and he thought he could pick up some bargains by touching the corpses, but he didn’t expect that there was nothing that could catch his eyes.
“It’s time to go in and see how Chief Thornmane is doing now.” Yang Yi thought.
Before entering the Thorny Blade Canyon, Yang Yi first used the [Kristasa’s Dragon Breath Talisman] on himself.
The red firelight flowed on the surface of the amulet, and the firelight circled around Yang Yi, and then disappeared into his body.
With the resistance to dark spells blessed by [Kristasa’s Dragon’s Breath Amulet], Yang Yi’s resistance to the blight plague has been greatly enhanced.
He activated [Stealth] and stepped into the Thorny Blade Canyon.
The entire Thorny Blade Canyon was lifeless. Most of the quilboars were hiding in their lairs in fear, and some of them had already escaped from the Thorny Blade Canyon.
Occasionally, I saw a few withered wild boar people moving in the shadows. They all had dull eyes like walking zombies. There were also some withered quilboars lying on the ground, with their white eyes open and motionless.
On the way, he passed the pig pen of the Thornback Wild Boar Man. Yang Yi found that the fighting pig inside had broken through the fence and was ramming left and right in the canyon.
Because there was no one to feed them, these fighting pigs were already extremely hungry. When they saw the withered wild boar men, they jumped on them and started biting them.
The withered boar people have long lost their consciousness in life, and they pounce on living creatures and bite them when they see them.
In this way, the fighting pigs and their original owners bit each other in the canyon, competing to see who was more ferocious.
The special method used by the thornback boars to feed fighting pigs was very effective. These fighting pigs had good combat effectiveness and would concentrate their strength to attack in groups. On the contrary, the undead withered boars behaved more rigidly and did not cooperate with each other at all. They only knew to chase the fighting pigs closest to them and bite them.
Under the crazy siege of the fighting pigs, the withered boars fell one by one.
What surprised Yang Yi was that these fighting pigs actually ate the bodies of the withered boars and even fought for them.
A large pool of black water flowed out of the bodies of the withered boars eaten by the fighting pigs, and the thorns and vines withered in patches where the dirty black water flowed.
“Plague is really a terrible killer. A village of thornback boars was destroyed like this. It’s really miserable.”
Yang Yi sighed, but soon he put away his pity. Before, in the Frenzy Bay, the Dirty Shell Clan was exterminated by the fishmen, and not even a lobsterman seedling was left. It was even worse than here.
Yang Yi turned his head away, not wanting to look at the disgusting scene, and just kept stealthily passing by.
Entering Chief Thornmane’s thorn cave again, it had been smashed to pieces, and the rotten food was leaking foul-smelling liquid, and the stench in the cave had reached an unbearable level.
Chief Thornmane, who had turned into a withered boarman, stood blankly in the cave, and a faint bonfire was lit in front of him. The burning material was the remains of withered thorn vines, and the flames of the bonfire looked like ghost fire.
Yang Yi looked at it with the Lord’s Eye, “Chief Thornmane has completely become undead, and now he should be called the withered Chief Thornmane.”
At this point, there was no need to hesitate. While the withered Chief Thornmane didn’t notice that he was sneaking in, Yang Yi quietly went behind him and raised the [Dragon’s Breath Amulet of Kristrasza] to aim at his back.
“Rest in peace!”
The red flames instantly engulfed the withered Thornbree Chieftain, and then he collapsed to the ground silently.
A level 7 boar warrior was also killed instantly after turning into an undead. The necklace left by the red dragon Kestrasza has a very strong restraining effect on undead creatures.
After killing Chieftain Thornbree in one go, Yang Yi endured the stench and searched in the cave for a while, taking all the valuables with him, then knocked off Chieftain Thornbree’s pair of large fangs and quickly escaped from the cave.
Outside the cave, Yang Yi greedily took a few breaths of the not-so-fresh air, and he retched several times before he was able to recover from the stench.
