World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 393
c393 Tour of the Wailing Cave
In the wailing cave full of hot springs and waterways, Yang Yi let the dead swamp crocodile crawl in front, and Blake and Magofen each held a cold light pearl and walked behind it.
The dead swamp crocodile has two anti-beating specialties, “thick armor” and “tenacious life”, which is most suitable for opening the way.
Steam would occasionally spurt out from the cracks in the surrounding rocks, making a sound similar to wailing, which is the origin of the name of the wailing cave.
The wailing cave is like a maze. Since no one leads the way, they can only explore by themselves.
There are also many mutant beasts hidden here. They are very crazy and rush up to bite the dead swamp crocodile when they see it.
Unfortunately, they encountered no good people. Yang Yi and his team solved all these mutant beasts who were looking for death in a few moves.
The thief who was walking in the middle of the team suddenly stopped. She pointed to the side and said: “There is a purple-red flower in the crack of the stone there. Is it [Venomous Snake Flower]?”
Yang Yi hurried forward to take a look, and there was indeed a flower blooming in the crack of the stone.
This flower has two layers, the upper layer is light purple, the lower layer is bright red, and there are a few green leaves supporting the flower.
Using the Lord’s Eye to check, it is indeed the [Snake Flower] that the pharmacist Zama wants.
Yang Yi quickly picked this [Snake Flower] and carefully put it in his bag.
“Look for this kind of flower carefully on the way, and you need to pick a few more.” Yang Yi said.
Just as Yang Yi was about to get up, a mutant velociraptor suddenly jumped out of the shadow beside him and pounced on him fiercely.
He was busy picking flowers just now, and he relaxed his vigilance for a while.
Fortunately, Yang Yi is no longer an inexperienced rookie in combat. He rolled on the ground and avoided the ambushed mutant velociraptor.
The mutant velociraptor pounced on nothing and immediately roared loudly.
All the beasts nearby were startled by the sound and surrounded from all directions.
It seems that there is more than just one mutant velociraptor in ambush.
“Prepare for battle!”
Yang Yi shouted, commanding the Death Swamp Crocodile to rush forward first.
Brack and Magofin, two murlocs, joined forces to guard the rear, while Jagu, Little Naga and Thief Eye, three magic professions, were protected in the middle.
There were all kinds of mutant beasts rushing over, including wind snakes, velociraptors, crocodiles, pythons, etc., all in the sky, underground and water.
Yang Yi was not panicked. As long as the front row could hold on and give the three magic professions enough time to cast spells, they could kill these mutant beasts one by one.
The huge body of the Death Swamp Crocodile played an advantage at this time. It lay there and blocked most of the attacks in front. The two murlocs, Brak and Magofin, each used all their strength to try to intercept all the mutant beasts that were close.
The three magic professions hid in the back and started the spell bombardment.
Especially Jagu and Little Naga, the two were very powerful.
Jagu continuously cast water spears, piercing through the mutant beasts that rushed over one by one, pinning them to the ground and making them unable to move.
The little Naga did not spare any effort and used his ultimate move as soon as he arrived. The huge tornado rolled forward, blowing away everything in the sky, underground or in the water.
Yang Yi still had some free time. He looked around and found that the frontal defense pressure was not great. So he took off the [Horned Eagle Longbow] and hid behind the huge body of the Dead Swamp Giant Crocodile to shoot arrows.
His target was the mutant wind snakes flying in the air. The lightning breath of these mutant wind snakes was not only fast, but also a long-range attack, so they were still very threatening when they gathered together.
When the thief saw this situation, he concentrated on using the water arrows with fast casting speed to make up for the gaps, ensuring that Jagu and the little Naga were not attacked by the mutant beasts close to him.
This was a tragic fight.
At least it was tragic for the mutant beasts that launched the attack.
After the fight, the bodies of the mutant beasts were left on the ground.
Yang Yi and his companions were more or less injured, but fortunately, none of them were fatal. After bandaging with a first aid bandage and drinking a bottle of healing potion, they would recover soon.
The most seriously injured was the Death Swamp Crocodile, which took the most attacks. As a reward, Yang Yi fed it a few pieces of pork jerky.
After a rest, the group continued on their way.
On the way, they encountered some mutant beasts, which they killed together.
During this time, they found some [Venomous Snake Flowers], which were all collected by Yang Yi.
After wandering around in the maze-like wailing cave, the group finally came to the Dream Stone mentioned by the night elf Boain.
“Lord, there is a stone platform in front, and several night elves are lying on it.” Brak reminded.
Yang Yi hurried forward to see that there was a large stone platform only knee-high on the ground.
On the large stone platform, three men and one woman, a total of four night elves, were lying neatly in a row. Their conditions were exactly the same as Boain’s, all with painful expressions on their faces, but they were all sleeping soundly.
Yang Yi used the Lord’s Eye to check them one by one, and found the Fang King Serpentis among them.
These four night elves should be the four leaders of the Fang Druids.
“Who arranged these four night elves so neatly?”
Yang Yi felt something was wrong, and he glanced around.
There was a flat land around the big stone platform, surrounded by deep pools on three sides. There was only one way in, so it was easy to see the whole picture.
“It seems that there are still a few lying by the water.”
Yang Yi found out and ran over with the cold light pearl.
There were two tauren who fell by the pool, and their staffs also fell to the ground.
There was also a human lying flat not far away.
After a closer look, I found that the two tauren were actually the Archdruid Hamuul Runetotem and his student Nara Wildmane. The tauren of Thunder Bluff were looking for them everywhere, but they were unexpectedly here.
And what about that human?
Good guy, it was actually Lu Xiaoming.
Looking at the situation of the two tauren druids, it seemed that they were also in a dream.
As for Lu Xiaoming, he seemed to be asleep, but Yang Yi knew that he was offline from his stable lying posture.
“What happened here?” Yang Yi was very confused.
Others were also confused and couldn’t figure out what happened.
“Lord, what should we do next?” Brack asked.
“The beasts seem to avoid this place, I will wait and see here.” Yang Yi said.
Now in the whole Howling Cave, except for the sleeping druids who can’t be woken up, there are only mutant beasts that can’t communicate. If you want to ask people, you can only wait for Lu Xiaoming to come online.
After waiting for half a day, Lu Xiaoming’s body finally moved.
On his fat face, a pair of small eyes slowly opened.
What came into view were the big heads of several fishmen.
“Ah! I’m dead!”
Lu Xiaoming screamed and closed his eyes tightly again.
Yang Yi was afraid that he would be scared and go offline again, so he shouted: “Lu Xiaoming! Get up!”
Huh?
Lu Xiaoming quietly opened his eyes a little and finally recognized the fishman in front of him.
“Ah, it’s Brother Poseidon. Why are you here? I thought that scary fishman came out again.” Lu Xiaoming was very surprised.
Finding that it was a familiar face, Lu Xiaoming climbed up and approached Yang Yi to get close to him.
Yang Yi pushed Lu Xiaoming away with one hand, “Tell me what happened here first.”
“It’s a long story.” Lu Xiaoming said calmly. “It started a long time ago…”
Yang Yi glared at Lu Xiaoming with his fishman eyes.
“Oh, let me make it short.” Lu Xiaoming was afraid of the eyes of the Murloc Mayor from the beginning, and he himself didn’t know why.
“I took a few brothers to the Howling Caves before, and after an epic battle, I got the four gems of the Fang Druid leader and took them to the Elder Highlands in Thunder Bluff. Later, these two Tauren came back here with the gems, saying that they would use the water here to redeem the uncontaminated part of the Fang Druid’s mind left in the gems, so as to wake them up. Then these two Tauren not only failed, but also took themselves in and fell asleep together.” Lu Xiaoming said.
“You mean, you took a few brothers to get the four gems of the Fang Druid leader?” Yang Yi asked, staring into Lu Xiaoming’s eyes.
“Well, although what I said is somewhat different from the actual situation, it’s almost the same…” Lu Xiaoming’s eyes were evasive.
As Yang Yi expected, this kid was bragging again.
Yang Yi gave Lu Xiaoming a look that was as expected.
“Okay, okay. It was Mu Xiaolan who was going to the Howling Caverns. She also called Ouyang and his daughter Ou Chenqing to be her thugs. When I learned that they were coming, I followed them. Oh, and there was Scarface Ajie. There were five of us in total.” Lu Xiaoming was stimulated by Yang Yi’s eyes, and he simply put on a dead pig and told the truth.
“Of course, the really powerful ones were a group of tauren and night elf druids. Without them, Mu Xiaolan would definitely not have been able to take the four gems. She was really lucky.” Lu Xiaoming said again.
“Those tauren and night elf druids you mentioned are followers of Naralex.” Yang Yi said.
“Yes, that’s the difficult name. Later, Mu Xiaolan followed them here and awakened the one called Nax. Then he woke up and left the Howling Caverns with his followers.” Lu Xiaoming said.
At this point, Yang Yi remembered the scene when he first went to Thunder Bluff.
Yang Yi went to Thunder Bluff with Mu Xiaolan that time. He still remembered that Mu Xiaolan took the mutated snapjaw turtle shell to find the archdruid Hamuul Runetotem. Later, Mu Xiaolan told him that Nara Wildmane dreamed of the four leaders of the Fang Druids lurking deep in the Howling Caverns, and needed to defeat them and retrieve the nightmare gems from them.
“It was more than half a year ago, and it turned out that Mu Xiaolan had already started the action. Mu Xiaolan prepared for this for several months, with the help of Ouyang, a great master, and the help of Naralex’s followers. According to Lu Xiaoming, Mu Xiaolan has obviously succeeded.” Yang Yi thought.
“Forget it, I don’t want to know this. Tell me in detail what happened to these two tauren after they came here, and why they fell asleep too.” Yang Yi said.
“After the two minotaurs came here, they put four gems into the water and said they would use magic to purify the corrupt and polluted elements. It went smoothly at first, but then… then… it failed.” Lu Xiaoming hesitated as he spoke.
“It’s none of my business. I didn’t do anything.” Lu Xiaoming added.
