World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 391

The next day.

Before dawn, Slark led a little murloc to the inn. He would be the guide of the underground waterway.

Yang Yi took a look. This was a little murloc with E qualifications. The fish scales on his body were mainly green, and he was holding a small conch in his arms.

This was an ordinary little murloc with average qualifications and a specialty of “tracking”.

For convenience, Yang Yi called this little murloc Little Conch.

Little Conch knew that he suddenly had an exclusive title, and walked in front happily, leading Yang Yi and the others to dive into the lake of the Dead Water Oasis.

Near a rock crack with bubbles under the lake, Little Conch drilled under a large rock with ease.

Yang Yi knew that there was an entrance to the dark river under the big rock, and several of them followed in.

The dark river was pitch black, with only a small conch emitting an almost invisible light. It turned out that this small conch could still emit a little light in the dark, no wonder this little murloc always held it in his arms and cherished it so much.

Yang Yi and his team were well prepared. Each of them took out a fist-sized cold light pearl.

Suddenly, several cold halos appeared in the dark river. The halos were not bright, but with the night vision of the fishman, they could see nearly ten meters around.

The little snail continued to lead the way and swam forward in the dark river.

After swimming for hundreds of meters, they encountered the first river fork.

The little snail led everyone to the surface of the water. The rocky bones above their heads were karst formed by water erosion.

On a relatively flat limestone wall, there was a mark carved with hard stone. The little snail pointed with his finger, “This is the mark left by the empty barrel boss.”

Yang Yi raised the cold light pearl to the limestone wall and took a look, then asked the little snail to continue moving forward.

The little snail swam to the river at the mark and continued to lead the way.

Along the way, they encountered several river forks. The little snail relied on the marks left by the empty barrels to find the right way to the dead water oasis.

It turns out that the water network formed by the entire underground river is similar to the structure of a tree branch. The lake in the Dead Water Oasis is just one of the branches. Because it is a low-lying area, it forms a surface lake.

“I never thought that there is such a large underground water network hidden under this barren land.” Yang Yi sighed, and he remembered what the minotaur Jerick once said.

Jerick said that the barren land was not originally like this, and it used to be a lush forest. Judging from the abundant water volume of the underground water network, it is really possible.

The underground river was pitch black, and I didn’t know how long I swam before I finally saw a ray of light.

The lake of the Sweet Water Oasis has arrived.

There was no danger along the way, and the empty wine barrel of the little fish man was not found.

At the dark river mouth of the lake in the Sweet Water Oasis, the little snail stopped carefully.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Yi asked.

“There are multi-headed snakes in the lake.” The little snail said fearfully.

Yang Yi was the only one in the group who had the stealth skill, which was suitable for reconnaissance, so he said, “You wait here, I’ll go take a look.”

Yang Yi started stealth and swam up slowly.

In the deep lake bottom, there was indeed a multi-headed snake moving.

Yang Yi recognized it at once. This multi-headed snake was Geshalahan who had once harmed Sishui Village.

“After being driven away, this multi-headed snake came to the Sweet Water Oasis.”

Yang Yi was a little worried. With the strength of the little fish man’s empty barrel, it would be bad if he encountered this multi-headed snake.

Avoiding the multi-headed snake, Yang Yi searched back and forth in the lake, but found no trace of the little fish man’s empty barrel. He even swam along the muddy sand at the bottom of the lake, but did not find any suspicious fish man remains.

“I have searched everywhere but found nothing. Could it be that it was eaten by the multi-headed snake?” Yang Yi became even more worried.

Just when Yang Yi was worried, he found that the multi-headed snake had been swimming in a small area, as if guarding something.

The abnormal behavior of this multi-headed snake attracted Yang Yi’s attention.

He observed carefully and found that the multi-headed snake had been circling around a large rock at the bottom of the lake. The multi-headed snake seemed to want to drill under the big rock, but its huge body destined it to not drill down.

“Is there another underground river connected to the bottom of this lake?” Yang Yi guessed.

For this reason, Yang Yi secretly observed for a while.

At a certain moment, he suddenly saw a familiar mark on the big rock.

Using [Eagle Eye Technique], it turned out to be the chiseled mark left by the empty barrel of the little fish man.

“Could it be that the little fish man’s empty barrel hid under the big rock to avoid the multi-headed snake? No, if he hid urgently, he would definitely not have time to leave a mark. Judging from the mark left by the empty barrel of the little fish man, there must be another underground river under the big rock, and he entered this underground river.” Yang Yi thought.

The problem is that the multi-headed snake Geshalahan has been guarding it, and even Yang Yi, who has stealth skills, dare not approach it, let alone others.

Yang Yi did not act rashly, he retreated and discussed with everyone.

Hearing that it was a multi-headed snake, the little Naga was not afraid at all, but said eagerly: “There are so many of us together, we don’t have to be afraid of a level 7 multi-headed snake.”

Yang Yi stopped him: “Little Naga, you don’t know how powerful this multi-headed snake is, we’d better not provoke it.”

Jagu had seen the strength of Gesharahan, and he suggested: “We are here to find empty wine barrels from the little fish man, so there is no need to fight with the multi-headed snake. We just need to find a way to kill the multi-headed snake.” Just lure the snake away.”

“That’s it. I’ll lure the hydra away.” Yang Yi said.

As Yang Yi spoke, he started sneaking and swam into the lake again. This time, he kept swimming up until he surfaced.

When I surfaced, I discovered that the sunset had already hung on the horizon and it was already dusk.

The lake in this sweet water oasis is much larger than that in the backwater oasis because it has not been burned by fire and the lake shore is surrounded by trees.

Yang Yi climbed ashore and first observed the surrounding situation.

The lake faces a high mountain to the north, and there are several hills to the south. One of the hills is surrounded by a log wall and has several sentry towers.

“This wall and guard tower look exactly the same as the outpost in front of the tribal orcs in the Backwater Oasis. It seems that it was built after the tribe drove away the centaurs.”

Yang Yi avoided the orc outpost and walked towards the high mountain to the north.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we saw a large cave.

Yang Yi walked closer and looked into the entrance of the cave. It was gloomy inside, and from time to time there were cries that sounded like sadness, and the roars of wild beasts, which made people shudder.

“This is the entrance to the Wailing Cave. It looks scary. I heard that there are many mutated creatures hidden in the cave, and even adventurers are not good at escaping.”

The entrance to the Wailing Cave is like a maw of the abyss, waiting for prey to fall into its trap.

Yang Yi had no intention of going deep into the cave. He just heard the sound of wild beasts inside and wanted to hunt one to lure the multi-headed snake Gesharahan at the bottom of the lake.

Gesharahan will be attracted by the smell of blood. When he was in the Sweetwater Oasis, the fishman used a bloody gazelle to lure him to the water.

Yang Yi tried to imitate the calls of a gazelle at the entrance of the cave, and a velociraptor actually approached the entrance of the cave. He looked with his Lord’s Eye and saw that it was a mutant predator, a level 2 beast.

Yang Yi used [Aimed Shot] and shot through the brain of the mutated raptor, killing it instantly.

The next thing was simple. Yang Yi pulled the raptor into the water, stabbed it a few times with a spear to bleed it, and then hid in the water far away and waited.

Not long after, the multi-headed snake Gesharahan was attracted by the blood, and couldn’t help but swim up from the bottom of the lake, heading towards the velociraptor corpse.

Seeing this opportunity, Yang Yi quickly sank to the bottom of the lake and touched the big rock that the hydra had been guarding.

Sure enough, there is another underground river below, but the entrance is only more than one meter wide, and the hydra cannot enter.

This entrance was big enough for Yang Yi and the others, and they filed into the underground river.

After entering this underground river, Yang Yi found that the direction of the river extension was northward, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.

Isn’t this underground river leading to the Wailing Cave?
