Silisthus was my last stop in South Kalimdor.

For more than a few months, whether it was Tanaris or Angolo Crater, I spent it in the heat, I got used to it, and it didn't disappoint me.

Angolo's troll friends pointed me and my teammates to a barely recognizable path from the northwest corner of the crater to the world's forsaken land, Silisus.

The path was clearly carved out by the hands of intelligent humanoids, and how it traversed between rocks and trees was carefully measured.

Troll friends told me that this trail was opened by the mysterious Night Elves back in the day - they are really mysterious, and they are only willing to communicate with their civilized troll friends, and have nothing to say to us guys of other races!

I walked slowly and hard along it, and without this path it would have been impossible to walk an inch.

Cross the trail into the equally hot Silishus, and then on a long, boring journey.

We arrived at a Night Elf ruin. Obviously, this land known as Silysus was inhabited by elves for a long time as early as ancient times.

This Night Elf ruin, it has been converted into a sentry by civilization troll friends and the Cadores.

They called it Nanfeng Village.

True to the name, the south wind really blows all day long in the sentry post, and if it is occasionally changed to a north wind, it means that it is going to rain.

That's right, it's going to rain here.

Obviously more southern, obviously looking more lonely. But Silisthus actually has more precipitation than Tanaris.

The Great Desert of Tanaris, where the troll friends live, only rains near the oasis where they live, and not a single raindrop can be seen elsewhere for years.

Unlike here in Nanfeng Village, it rained on the first day of our arrival, although it was only a small light rain.

The village of Southwind is under the authority of the Senarion Council, a druid organization dedicated to peacekeeping.

Trolls from Zutona have also joined the group, which in the past consisted only of the Night Elves.

Troll friends in the Council of Cenarion poured out their concerns to me:

"Xenomorphs pose a major threat to the whole of Kalimdo, and indeed to the whole world."

Not...... At first I didn't see any signs of a major threat.

The hives of Tanaris and Angolo always seem to be self-sufficient.

Although there are many bugs in these two hives, they live in deserted places, and their IQs are similar to those of wild beasts.

But after three days in Silisus, I changed my mind about the xenomorphs, or at least about the Silisus xenos.

Unlike the other two hives I've been to, the bugs here in Silisus seem to show signs of intelligent activity.

The Cenarion Council is here to observe and monitor the dynamics of the bugs, and at the same time reduce their numbers appropriately.

My teammates and I took on the task - to kill the bugs, the more the better. The rewards are good, with gold, enchanted equipment, and even prestige bonuses.

For the sake of adventure, and by the way, for the reward, my teammates and I ventured around in this desolate and arid place.

The main sites of the adventure are the three hives - the Yash Hive, the Rego Hive, and the Zola Hive.

They are the three major xenomorph nests of Silishus, located in the northern, southeastern, and centralwestern regions.

Unlike the Grish worm in Angolo's Valley of the Giants, the insects here are more ...... to visitors Tolerance?

In these three hives, the bugs will allow you to get close to the edge of the hive and even let you peek inside, as long as you don't make dangerous moves.

From that moment on, I changed my opinion about xenomorphs: they are not thoughtless bugs.

They are intelligent and social.

They will communicate with each other, maintain ranks, perform rituals, and even trade with neighboring communities.

The only thing they don't know is talking, so I can't talk to them. I have to admit that these bugs are disturbing to me.

As Cenarion's friends say, if their bug heads try to expand, they become a very serious threat.

Soon, when we killed them, the bugs stopped tolerating us.

They are organized, pounce in droves, and are stressful!

Thankfully, our squad wasn't in vain.

We killed the bugs.

……

……

Silishus.

Nanfeng Village.

Silisus is a desert similar to Tanaris, but it does not have the native, intelligent humanoids that supply drinking water like the latter.

Despite this, frequent precipitation has kept the diversity of life high, at least higher than in places like the Glitter Plains.

Moreover, the plants here are able to store water, and travelers can collect cacti to obtain water.

The most terrifying thing about Silysus was the storms and sandnadoes that frequently blew over rocks and cliffs.

To make matters worse, the wandering air and earth elementals hide in all corners, waiting for an opportunity to attack creatures that pass by, but their range is mostly confined to the depths of the desert far from the settlements.

Compared to these, xenomorphs that don't come out of the hive don't seem to be threatening.

The Senarion Council and Cadoré don't think so, because the threats mentioned above don't make them climate.

It has its own language, its own organization, its own army, its own leader, and even has its own culture.

They are the biggest threat.

Especially since behind them stood the Zera Worms.

Behind the Qila Worm stands one of the world's most formidable enemies!

Therefore, even since the Battle of Quicksand, the insects in the three major insect hives have been very peace-loving, and they have never even come out of the insect hive.

But the elves did not dare to let their guard down.

So much so that a few years ago, with the help of trolls, the sentry post that was destroyed in the Battle of Quicksand was rebuilt here - Nanfeng Village.

Then came the re-establishment of the surveillance system, and the continuous crackdowns - at the suggestion of the troll friends, the Cenarion Council hired a variety of brave adventurers, allowing them to continuously reduce the xenomorphs in the hive, and by the way, constantly obtain their information.

This makes the bugs look innocent, they haven't done anything but stay in the nest and happily lay eggs with the mother.

As a result, invaders continue to attack them, killing their people, snatching their eggs and burning their nests......

This kind of behavior is simply unjustified for the bugs, they are the invaded party.

Again, elves, trolls, and the Cenarion Council didn't think so, they felt it was necessary.

Xenomorphs themselves are already terrifying, or are they xenomorphs that already have their own culture, wisdom and ethnic meanings.

Even Kadore felt that he would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

And the idea of the adventurers is: the bug is innocent, and it is very unjust to kill such a gentle bug!

We protest against the tyranny of the Cenarion Council, and we want to protect our bug friends-

Wait a minute, there are gold coins for killing insects? And enchanted equipment, and other rare rewards?

Hey, bro, stop, that bug was my first sighting. It's an evil bug, and I'm going to punish it for justice!!

It's as simple as that.

So Silisus and the hive, which had been lonely for thousands of years, gradually became lively with the reconstruction of Nanfeng Village.

Although there were many adventurers who went to Zutiu and took a boat to make a fortune with the trolls of Zandalara.

About half of the adventurers still choose to stay in Silitsus to kill insects - the weather is a little hotter, but the rewards are good, and the danger is not high!

Night falls.

Elune climbed into the middle of the sky.

The same sky, the same Elune.

Elune's light shines on the earth.

There is a tavern in the village of Southwind, and there is only such a tavern, after all, Silysus is still too remote and remote.

No matter where the pub is, as long as there is business, it is usually very lively.

Nanfeng Village Sentry is such a tavern, and its business is of course very good, so it is naturally very lively.

There was a very lively atmosphere in the tavern, and after a tall and sturdy troll god warrior walked in, the drinkers were quiet in unison.

"Look, it's "Crazy Doon". He's going out again tonight. It's crazy, Silishus at night is a hundred times more dangerous than during the day! ”

"After all, it's "Crazy Doon", the bugs he kills in one day, almost a month over us! ”

"Hey! Friend, would you like to have a drink? I'm in for a treat, and I'm talking about you, "Crazy Doon". Team up with us, let's go kill bugs together. ”

“……”

Some daring adventurers even called out to the tall trolls who came in.

He didn't say a word.

"Give me a glass of golden sand juice." Southwind Village and Silisus's famous "Mad Doon" doesn't drink, and every time he goes out to kill bugs, he comes to the tavern to order a glass of Golden Sands juice.

"Hello, it's ready for you." The bartender, a Zutona troll and boss, handed his fellow man a prepared juice.

"Mad Doon" took it and dried up the juice in one gulp.

"Bookkeeping."

After saying it with a blank face, the troll turned around and left, leaving the sighing troll bartender.

"He's a good troll. It's a pity that the heart is dead. The bartender muttered to himself.

"Mad Doon" no longer cares what happened in the tavern, and he walks out of the tavern, bathed in the moonlight.

About an hour later.

Syllable!

"Mad Doon" crushed the head of a bug with a crisp sound, and the slime of the bug seeped through the sand under his feet.

Beside him were the broken corpses of seven or eight xenomorph bugs.

These xenomorphs appear to be large and small, both female and male.

At this time, if there were an Xenomorph researcher from Silisus here, they could tell that these Xenomorphs were likely to be a family of Xenomorphs - that's right, the Xenomorphs of Silishus's three major hives had even developed a family concept!

There's a reason why the Cenarion Council would be so jealous of them, and that's one of the reasons.

The bugs killed by "Mad Doon" may be a family of bugs in the Yash hive.

A large family of bugs, after eating and drinking enough for dinner, came out of the cave, walked in the moonlight and talked about family life.

As a result, he met "Crazy Doon", and the whole bug family immediately threw the whole family into the street.

Killing these gentle bugs may seem very un"wormy" to some people with a flood of compassion.

But for "Mad Doon", there's only one reason to kill them - they're bugs, and that's enough.

Wiping the blood from his weapon with sand, Doon looked at his own shadow in the moonlight.

"Wait for me, Eisen. When I've got all the bugs gone, I'll go find you. ”

The troll looked at the moonlit shadows, and he muttered to himself.

Suddenly.

Doon saw his shadow twist for a moment.

Before he was pleasantly surprised.

The shadow suddenly took the shape of a hand, and it pointed in one direction.

"Eisen, are you going to let me go there?" Doon asked in surprise.

The shadow has been restored.

With a sigh, Doon walked in the direction that the shadow pointed.

Walked about a few hundred ancestral yards.

Doon was in the hive and heard a voice that wasn't a bug.

The troll frowned.

Adventurers in Nanfeng Village rarely go out at night. Because they are not like him, when he goes out at night, his lover will hide in the shadows to protect him and walk with him.

During the day she was reluctant to come out.

That's why Crazy Doon comes out every night.

Following the source of the sound, Doon stealthily climbed up to a sand dune in the hive.

When he looked down, he was surprised to see a valley below, and there were many humanoids standing in the valley.

In the midst of these humanoids, a bonfire is lit, and the voices spoken by these humanoids are made by these humanoids.

What made Doon's heart sink was that.

These humanoids are surrounded by bugs, but they have no intention of attacking them, but seem to be talking to them!

Mad Doon clenched his fist.

Then he was discovered.

A team of flying bugs patrolling the sky saw Doon crawling on the sand dunes and immediately attacked him.

The Night of Silisus.

It's really not safe.
