Azeroth Trail of Light

Wan Lai was silent, only the sound of footsteps on falling snow sounded around, and the squally wind would blow up flutters of snowflakes from time to time, turning this silver-clad world into a purer and colder world.

Tao Shi was walking deep in the snow-white Kun-Lai Mountain. This is a ruin of a palace. It may be the palace of a certain Mogu warlord who fell in time, but now there is only a desolate ruin left, which may be hundreds of years. , No one has even been here for thousands of years, so the snow here also exudes a savage smell.

This snow-capped mountain is not as peaceful as it appears on the surface. In fact, in this inaccessible valley, there are many dangerous creatures, such as tigers, hooves, and snowmen.

Pandaria's snowman is not the same as the snowman of Azeroth who can only scare ordinary people.

The snowman here is a real behemoth, usually reaching about 6 meters, covered with white or red fur. They are powerful and omnivorous. This means they eat everything when they are hungry, pandamen, hunks and even It is a mysterious mogu wandering in this area.

Fortunately, snowmen generally don't appear in this season, which makes Tao Shi relieved.

Like ordinary assassins, Tao Shi is not accustomed to many people acting together. She scattered all the Pandaren assassins under her command, looking for the clues Dick said in this area, and she went deep into the most dangerous area alone. In the area.

Tao Shi likes to be quiet. From the time she was born, she likes to be alone. This is probably because she lost her family when she was a child. It was an invasion by the Buffalo in the dangerous place of the Mantis Plateau. Things are very common. In Tao Shi's hometown, in addition to the dangerous yaks, there are also vicious and vicious mantids and mysterious and cruel mogu.

It is a real war-torn place. It is rare in a peaceful place like Pandaria. Even the power of the Shado-Pan can hardly penetrate in the Mantis Plateau. Tao Shi has been wandering there for 2 years. Later, I met Zhu Taran who was out on a mission. At that time, she was hunting a dangerous yak alone. She was small and malnourished. She only had a broken sword in her hand. But even then, she was hiding. Taran Zhu, who was in the dark, was also shocked by the peculiar cruelty of this little panda and his grasp of fighter opportunities.

He brought her back to the Shado-Pan and became a closed disciple. In the following thirty years, Tao Shi grew up quickly. Although the pandamen are not comparable to the longevity species like elves, they have a lifespan of 200 years. , So the current Tao Shi is still a girl and a half in essence, but she is already Pandaria's top assassin.

In addition, Taran Zhu is actually far less young than he looks. This is why Lao Chen respects him very much. This unyielding monk has led the Shado-Pan faction for a hundred and fifty years of history, and he has practiced true cultivation. Qi monks, after cultivating to a very high level, it is not impossible to extend their life. See Master Shangxi of the Wandering Island. In fact, Lili once said that some people speculated that Master Shangxi was the first batch. Pandaren who followed Liu Lang out.

In other words, Master Shangxi is probably over 800 years old.

Tao Shi feels like her father to Zhu Taran. She likes the Shado-Pan. Although everyone doesn’t like to talk very much, it is indeed her home. She is willing to give everything for her home, but for Dick, Tao Shi has an indescribable feeling.

I don’t hate it, but I definitely don’t like it. That person seems to be burdened with heavy shackles, just like Zhu Taran, and as long as he gets close to him, Tao Shi can feel a certain indifference hidden under that smiling face... even indifferent.

He doesn't seem to care about anything, but he seems to always think about things that are extremely important to the common people.

It was a very contradictory feeling. In short, Tao Shi didn't like it.

But this does not affect her earnestly fulfilling Dick's mission. After all, Tao Shi is still a soldier, even though Pandaria does not have an army.

Thinking of the mess in his mind, Tao Shi did not stop searching. After jumping off the branch lightly and disturbing a snow rabbit hiding in the snow, the assassin suddenly heard the sound of weapons colliding. This made her immediately alert, just took a step forward, and the whole person disappeared in place.

The sound came from the side of the mountain col in front. Even a brave assassin like Tao Shi would not take the initiative to approach it, because as long as his feet slip a little, he will be buried on the cliff. The drop is dozens of times. Meters, and the bottom is covered with sharp stone cones, especially this place is covered with snow.

But when Tao Shi fixed her body with flying claws and hung outside the mountain col, she saw an unexpected situation. Just under the cover of the mountain col's inward, there was no cave. A dark cave was embedded in the mountain. On the wall, if it weren't for someone like Tao Shi who was attracted by the sound of the weapon's impact, he wouldn't be able to find it.

In Tao Shi's gaze, a mogu soldier with a cyan skin was carrying the corpse of a tiger and walking into the cave.

Mogu, this is a race of giants that have ruled Pandaria for tens of thousands of years. They reached their peak when the first emperor Thor was reigning. Thor conquered all the warlords in the entire Mogu tribe and established the strongest in history. Empire, at that time, the night elves had not yet appeared. In the entire world, there were only two empires, Zandalari and Mogu. Thor exercised a dictatorship within, unified text, unified weights and measures, built the Great Wall, and resisted the mantid invasion once in a thousand years .

Moreover, it is the only powerful force recorded in history that can take the initiative to drive the mantid back to the wasteland of fear. From this point of view, Thor is actually a great king, but after he has the world, he is still not satisfied and continues to covet the gods. Power, together with the emperor of Zandalar at the time, went to the Origination Furnace in an attempt to encroach on the huge energy left by the Titans. As a result, a small part of the Origination Furnace was detonated by the creators and the first-generation Tollians and killed completely.

After the death of Thor, the entire Mogu clan declined rapidly, but his remaining power was still there, so the Mogu rule spread for thousands of years. Finally, in the hero of the Pandaren, the first monk "Fist of Dawn" Kang's Under the leadership, the entire Pandaria enslaved race, including the savage lizardmen, began to fight back, and the Mogu dynasty eventually perished.

Then came the era of the Pandaren.

In that counterattack, 80% of the mogu were killed, but a small part of them survived, and they continued to multiply. Eventually, this race regained prosperity, but no longer had its previous authority, and now it can only be used as a robber. The identity continues to live.

Tao Shi has killed more than one mogu. She knows how difficult this giant creature is to deal with. They have great power, tough skin, and they are good at martial arts. Some mogu people also use unique stone magic, but in front of them This cyan mogu is different!

Tao Shi can be sure that this can be seen from the exquisite armor he wears. This is not the armor that the down-and-out Mogu can make now, and the sharp one that makes people feel scalp numb at first glance. The decapitating sword is even better than the skill of the Pandaren blacksmith.

The things he wore were very cumbersome, as well as identity pendants and iron medals, which were obviously not available to the mogu who lost their own culture today.

"Gravekeeper!"

This thought jumped into Tao Shi's mind for the first time. This must be a certain Mogu emperor’s tomb-keeper. It is said that there are mysterious alchemists around those emperors, who can make the Mogu people enter the weird state of eternal life forever. The emperor who guarded them, whether in life or after death, pandamen generally referred to that existence as "terracotta warriors".

Tao Shi felt that he had found the place Dick said.

But now we have to go!

The assassin is not a warrior. She should leave when she finds a place. She can assassinate skillfully, but if she is surrounded by heavy soldiers and is a weird existence like Mogu Terracotta Warriors, then it will be difficult for her to escape.

Tao Shi silently noted the position, and then retracted the take-off claws, but at the moment she re-climbed the col, more than a dozen cyan soldiers, wearing delicate armor and looking like dead men, had already blocked them. All her ways.

At the forefront, a purple mogu terracotta warrior looked at her with a cold, unmixed eyes, like looking at a prey.

He did not hold the soldiers' decapitation knives in his hand, but carried a pair of steel-forged bows and arrows. He also carried a capsule of steel arrows on his back, with golden fingers on his fingers. Obviously, this was a person who was good at archery. General of the Mogu.

Tao Shi bared her teeth, like a female leopard who had met her opponent. She bent down, putting her two hands in her palms and moving flexibly. This is a weapon customized for her by the Assassin masters of the Shado-Pan. The Mantis Plateau, in the Fear Wasteland, killed the enemy on the Great Wall, today, it will also accompany her to fight in this silent valley.

Tao Shi knew that she had little hope of winning, but at least she had to spread the news here before she died.

Not for the heavy responsibilities that Dick shoulders.

Just because she is a soldier, just because she wants to complete the task, nothing more.

The atrium of the White Tiger Temple is where the monks are trained. Pandaren of Pandaria have developed this mysterious profession as a monk to the extreme. Each temple has its own unique heritage, even in every monk family. The secret skills of the monk.

Old Chen’s Hundred Claws is one of them. It belongs to the secret skill of the Stormstout family, but this Azeroth’s top martial arts is nothing in Pandaria. The monk masters of Qingri Peak, every one There are dozens of advanced martial arts that are comparable to Hundred Claws.

The White Tiger Temple also has its own heritage. The pandamen here are good at using the palm's nirvana. Valera once said that Old Chen fighting is like dancing, but when I really came to the White Tiger Temple, I saw those female pandamen. The posture of the monk fighting with his opponent, everyone knows what is beautiful and fierce.

But soon, a bad news came to Dick’s ears. He followed the monk to a secret room with a serious face. He looked at Tao Shi lying on the bed, the panda who had met before. Human assassin, now she is extremely desolate, her abdomen is completely pierced by three arrows, and her body is covered with scars. In fact, when the dying Tao Shi fell into the pool behind the Baihu Temple, she was soaked in the cold water. After 2 hours, at this moment, the silent pandaman assassin has come to the end of his life.

Dick looked at the Pandaren in front of him. This was not the first person to die because of his order, and it would not be the last. He looked at Tao Shi’s painful face in a coma, endless thoughts rolling in his mind. , He thought he could ask those people to die for him without expression, because all this has a lofty goal.

But now, looking at Tao Shi who was about to die, Dick suddenly realized that even no matter how lofty the goal is, it is not worthy of these people who should have a good life and life to die for him.

This should be his responsibility!

But now Tao Shi is burdened.

Dick stretched out his hand, shaking, a little fearful palm, he sincerely hoped that what happened to Liadrin and Villinde could happen to Tao Shi again.

"Holy Light... If you can hear it, please send this life back. Please use your kindness to make my soul no longer suffer!"

"Holy light, please grant me this glory."

"Please grant me... the power to change all of this."

"drop…"
