"Live: Azeroth (

Stranglethorn Vale is a humid and sultry rainforest with a very impressive vegetation density.

When passing over the dense forest, it is impossible to see the scene in the forest through the dense branches and leaves.

In order to find Cheng Bo who came first in the rainforest, the three of Salayan could only descend into the forest and walk through it, searching carefully along the way.

Along the meandering river, they came to a small lake. Seeing that it was getting late, the three people who were tortured by the sweltering heat planned to rest here for a night.

As a seasoned adventurer, Sharlayan knew very well that he could not camp directly near the water source.

In this hot and humid rainforest, the human body loses water quickly, and so do animals.

The aborigines living in Stranglethorn Valley often come to the river and lake to replenish water. If you are not careful, you may encounter those beasts that come to drink.

Sharlayan was not afraid of wild beasts, but there was no need to waste time and energy on them. It was important to find someone.

According to previous adventure experience, Sharlayan usually hangs sleeping bags on the big trees near the water source.

Living in trees cannot completely eliminate danger, and there are many wild animals that can climb trees.

But generally speaking, carnivores don't settle near water sources, and the only thing to worry about is those snake-like creatures that coil around trees.

There are many kinds of venomous snakes in the rainforest, and even occasionally encounter a large python.

Before entering the sleeping bags, Stellagosa cast spells on the sleeping bags of the three of them respectively, and all wandering creatures nearby would instinctively avoid them.

The movement of this spell is very small, and you can't find it without careful inspection.

But on the other hand, it also has weaknesses. It only works on animals and insects, and cannot dispel intelligent creatures.

According to the usual practice, the three of them will take turns to watch the night to avoid being cut off by the jungle troll who touched the tree in their sleep.

The first half of the night was quite difficult, Salayan volunteered to let Stellagosa and Valeera fall asleep first, and kept his eyes open to observe the surrounding vigilantly.

The Stranglethorn Rainforest at night is not quiet at all. Even if you don’t mention the constant chirping of insects, you can occasionally hear the movement of nocturnal creatures when they go out to hunt.

The first half of the night passed smoothly, and around 2:00 midnight, Sharlayan keenly caught some unusual sounds amidst the roars of insects and beasts.

"Shusha~"

'Is someone approaching? '

The sound of rubbing plant leaves was getting closer and closer to the Naferiti Lake where the three of Sarlayan were resting. Judging from the scale of the movement, it should be some kind of group of creatures.

Valeera doesn't have the keen five senses like the dragons, so she sleeps really soundly now.

Stellagosa's adventure experience outside was not as rich as that of Sharlayan and Valeera, and her vigilance during sleep was relatively low, and she was not awakened before the other party got close enough.

In the dark night, Sharlayan narrowed his eyes slightly, focusing on the direction of the sound.

"唰~"

Not long after, a tall fang monster with a metal battle ax came out first, looking around cautiously.

After confirming that there was no danger, he silently waved behind him, and more companions followed him to the lake.

'Sure enough... jungle trolls. '

All jungle trolls are nominally part of the Gurubashi Empire, governed by the suzerain clan Gurubashi.

The Kingdom of Stormwind had some conflicts with the Gurubashi Empire long before the orcs invaded. At that time, the young princes Medivh, Lothar, and Lion once attacked the fortress of the Gurubashi Empire and turned the city upside down.

As foreign invaders, orcs treat all races of Azeroth equally.

Just hit it.

After Stormwind City was breached, orcs also invaded Stranglethorn Valley and fought a great battle with the jungle trolls of the Gurubashi Empire.

In the end, no one can do anything to win anyone.

The first tribal chief, Black Hand, was not reconciled, and wanted to continue to take down these difficult fang monsters all at once.

But when Orgrim, the second-generation chief with a better strategic vision, came to power, he resolutely gave up the entanglement with the trolls, and went all the way north, taking the defeat of the alliance as the primary goal of the tribe.

As long as the alliance, the biggest threat to the Horde, is defeated, there will be plenty of opportunities to slowly deal with the jungle trolls in the future.

Due to many objective factors, Orgrim's plan could not be implemented as expected.

The Stormwind Kingdom and the Gurubashi Empire, which were also severely damaged, have been recuperating for the past two years.

After the defeat of the Horde, Varian returned to his homeland with the people of the Stormwind Kingdom.

Although the Stormwind Kingdom is temporarily unable to expand into the Dusk Forest, the local militia organization Night Watchman has not let down its vigilance against its evil neighbors.

Before the three of Sharlayan bid farewell to Varian, Onyxia and others and set off from Stormwind, Mathias Shaw brought the information given by Varian.

This information was submitted to Varian by the night watchmen of the Dusk Forest to the Tempest Keep, mainly about the movements of the Gurubashi Empire in the past two years.

The fighting style of the jungle trolls is extremely brave. In the war with the orcs, the Gurubashi clan who charged ahead according to the custom suffered heavy losses.

Seeing the weakening of the suzerain clan, the other jungle troll clans living in Stranglethorn Valley began to move around, and came up with the idea of ​​​​the following overcoming.

The jungle troll wants to emphasize that the strong are respected, as long as they can prove that their clan is stronger than the Gurubashi, the status of suzerain is not out of reach.

Of course, the Gurubashi clan couldn't just sit back and watch the younger brother rebel. Under the advice of a scheming sorcerer, the two big clans of the jungle troll fought each other first under the secret instigation of Gurubashi.

Blood Scalp and Skullsplitting, the strength of these two clans is only below the Gurubashi, each occupying a large territory in Stranglethorn Valley.

The two major clans fought fiercely, and they could persevere with their strong capital, but the nearby small and medium clans suffered disaster, and many small clans had already disappeared under the flames of war.

As a last resort, the remnants of these small clans could only leave their homes and break out to the south, intending to find a relatively peaceful territory to live in again.

The Darkspear clan is one of them.

Among the many jungle troll clans, Darkspear is one of the most inconspicuous small clans, and it is not seen by the big clans such as Bloodtop and Skullsplitting at all.

According to the information provided by the barrage, in the original history, the Darkspear clan gradually grew into an important clan among the jungle trolls because they embraced the thighs of the new tribe, and their power even surpassed the declining Gurubashi.

Danmaku doesn't know if the Darkspear clan will have such an encounter in this timeline.

At least for now, they are still fleeing here and there in Stranglethorn Vale like bereaved dogs.

The jungle trolls that appear on the shores of Lake Naferiti are none other than the Darkspear clan.

Seeing more and more old, weak, sick and disabled coming out of the forest, Salayan roughly estimated that the total number of people in this clan, old and young, is only a few hundred people, and there are only a few dozen people with strong fighting capabilities. That's it~lightnovelpub.net~Salayan didn't open the eagle eye to spy. According to past experience, these trolls with "stronger" combat power are at most around 20 levels, and even elite-level combat power is rare. .

The Darkspear troll, who had been traveling overnight, didn't intend to stay by the lake for long, so he just filled a little water by the lake and hurried south.

They seem to be planning to go to the relatively calm southern cape area, far away from the growing civil war in the northern part of the jungle.

But that's easier said than done.

Referring to the Stranglethorn Vale power map provided by Mathias Shaw, from Lake Naferiti to the Gurubashi Arena, you need to pass through the lair of the Skullsplitting Troll—Bariaman.

This should be the reason why the Darkspear trolls traveled at night, in order to avoid the peak activity period of the Skullsplitter clan.

Sarei Ancheng didn't say a word, and watched the Darkspear troll silently continue south after finishing fetching water.

Although the Darkspear trolls kept silent as much as possible, Valeera and Stellagosa were awakened by the noise they made while fetching water.

Valeera, who was lying on her sleeping bag on high alert, asked through the soul link: "Do you want to make a move? As a local aborigine, this small clan may have information about Cheng Bo Stormstout."

"Not urgent."

Sharlayan winked at Stellagosa, and Little Xingxing immediately summoned a familiar crow, hanging it far behind the Darkspear clan who moved south.

"You'd better take a break to recover your energy, and we will set off following the guidance of the familiar tomorrow morning."

Seeing Valeera get back into her sleeping bag sleepily, Salayan and the energetic little Xingxing exchanged glances, and they both sighed at the same time.

‘After this trouble is over, I must go to Wyrmrest Temple and ask Alexstrasza about the process of blessing of life. '
