62. "Panic" fled north
Not to mention that the panda people have been caught in a long-term discussion because of the scroll sent by the mantis demon messenger, as a blood feud between the two races that has lasted for nearly 10,000 years, if you want to really usher in peace, it is not a goal that can be achieved overnight, in fact... This time node is likely to be calculated in ten years.
At this time, the situation was still chaotic in the Wasteland of Dread, and this amber notice posted in the various towns of the Mantis Demon caused an uproar almost immediately.
The reincarnation of the mantis demons has been going on for more than 10,000 years, and any inheritance that has been carried out for more than 10,000 years will be engraved between the blood and bones of a race, becoming a part of their lives and even their lives.
She just told the mantis demon that the hundred-year bloody battle with the panda people would be a thing of the past, and the mantis demon's 10,000-year reincarnation would not end there, but would enter a new cycle under her leadership.
But even so, this announcement that added fuel to the fire still made those mantis demon nobles who were still hesitant make the final decision, and a large part of the lords regretfully stood on the opposite side of Xia Keshire, but seriously, this is exactly what the Great Empress wants to see... A one-time clean-up of all disgruntled forces.
Especially after receiving the "support and help" of the brothers of the ancient Yaqi Zerg, and then mobilizing those mantis demons loyal to the Empress on the Mantis Plateau back to the Dread Wasteland, the current Empress Xia Keshi has enough ability to do this!
The praying mantis demon, who has been guided by faith for more than 10,000 years, wants to completely get rid of the influence of faith, and it is definitely not just to get rid of a Karakxi council, that council is only the surface enemy of the Great Empress, her real enemy is the faith thirst of her people for the Ancient Venerable, however, the Great Ancient Venerable is dead...
It's time to purge this meaningless faith, and then establish absolute authority over Shakohir himself!
Of course, there are those who want to reform, and there must be those who stand in the way, and after the Empress asks outsiders for help and kills the elders of the Council of Karaksi, her first order angers some of the mantis demons who are disgruntled against her.
"Don't stop me! I'm going to kill her! ”
The remnants of the 12 Heroes are now gathering on an isolated island outside the quagmire in the northwest of the Dreaded Wasteland, called Zanivis, a border mine controlled by the Mantis Demon, and a few days ago, Benedictas the Outlander awakened Rical the Cutter, but unfortunately, the brave Hero has died in the battle against the demigods, and the most anxious of the 6 Heroes, Skir the Bloodseeker, is extremely violent, screaming to rush out of its hiding place and assassinate the Grand Empress Shakohir once more.
But to be honest, the Blood Seeker is not angry because Shakohir wants to destroy the tradition of the mantis demon, this guy has not yet had such a high level of consciousness, and the root cause of his anger is that the battle 2 days ago was too aggrieved... In the face of the two demigods who manipulate wind and fire, Yingjie, who has always regarded himself as a strong man, can only usher in the fate of being slaughtered.
How can this make the arrogant bloodseeker bear?
"Are you going to die? Bastard! ”
Standing in the way of the Bloodseeker was the calmest of the Heroes, Iyo Cook, the spellcaster who was lucky enough to escape the demigod war, in fact, if it weren't for the Clearer who immediately used a spell to teleport the remaining Heroes out of Karaxives, I'm afraid that all 12 Heroes would have died that night.
"Let go! I don't want to live like a mouse! You have to live like this, don't pull me! ”
The Blood Seeker screamed, and from its fire-breathing eyes, it was clear that although this creature didn't say anything, it was about to be driven crazy by the emptiness of the lack of faith in its heart... The heroes believed in the Ancient Venerable, but now that the Lord had completely fallen, and there was no longer the light of faith in their hearts, how could they endure it?
The bloodthirsty nature of the Bloodseeker made it unable to control its aching heart, and it shook off Iyo Cook the Clearer and was about to rush out of the house with its weapon, but just as it rushed to the door, the Mantis Demon Supreme appeared, supported by the swarm guard Hisek.
"Go back!"
The most powerful and oldest of the heroes, the Supreme Korvan, was in a very bad state at this time, it faced the storm god Ansu head-on in the battle of the demigods, although it did not win, but it gave the other heroes time to transfer, but it itself faced the wind blade set off by Ansu, and half of its body was about to be chopped to pieces, if it were not for the Supreme One's secret technique of amber regeneration, I am afraid it would have gone to the grave at this time.
Although the Supreme One in front of him was very weak, the Blood Seeker was very reluctant in the face of this reprimand, but finally obediently returned to the house.
Under the escort of Hisakah and the uninjured Marik, the weak Supreme entered the room where he was hiding, he leaned back in his chair and looked at the 4 heroes in front of him, the fastest-moving locust Kazik was serving as a sentry in the open sea at this time, and the 6 people left of the former 12 heroes undoubtedly made people feel that things were wrong.
"Ahem..."
The Supreme One coughed with difficulty, it raised its head and looked at the four heroes with different faces in front of it, and after a moment of silence, the Supreme One spoke:
"We're running out of time, Shakohir won't let us run around so freely, and it's foreseeable that the Great Queen's guards will surround this island soon, so I'll cut it short."
"I know the anxiety in your hearts, and you may want to ask me, what happened to the Ancient Venerable? Why has the whispering sound we always felt completely dissipated... It has fallen, and the news announced by Shakohir before the start of the war is true, as evidenced by the fact that the Lord that the Mantis Demon has believed in for more than 10,000 years has died, and the evil energy of Pandaria is rapidly dissipating. ”
"That..."
The Clear One wanted to say something, but was stopped by the Supreme One's forelimbs, and the Most Ancient Hero closed his eyes, and after a dozen seconds of silence, he said:
"On the night of the raid on Karaksives, I discussed this with the elders, and the elders couldn't come up with a solution, it was a god, it wasn't a catastrophe that we mortals could speculate about, but... But there is no way to save our empty hearts, and now there are 2 ways before you, and you must make a choice before you are completely driven mad by the emptiness of the shattered faith. ”
"First, return to the Mantis Demon Kingdom under the rule of Shakhir as a prisoner, and accept the new faith she promoted, the cycle of life and death and the possibility of pursuing endless evolution, frankly, this new belief is actually very suitable for the Mantis Demon..."
"Don't go!"
The Blood Seeker folded its arms, its wings flapping:
"I'm not going back to be a dog!"
"Alas... All right. ”
The Supreme One shook his head, and it said the second way:
"The true body of the Ancient Venerable is the most powerful ancient god Yashaji, we worship this strongest ancient god, but there is not only one ancient god in the world, the mantis demon is a life born from the ancient dark empire, we are born with a strong adaptability to the power of the ancient gods, and now, since the ancient Venerable has fallen, then we can go and find another ancient god."
"But it's risky!"
Corvin said with difficulty:
"The power of the other ancient gods is not as gentle as the ancient venerable, as far as I know, the power of the other ancient gods will distort the soul and body, this is an extremely terrifying future, if you can, I don't want you to choose this path."
"Wait! Someone's coming! ”
Just as the Supreme was about to continue, the most sensible swarm guard, Hisek, suddenly removed his sonic gun from his back, glanced at the other heroes, and then quickly moved to the window, where it looked out, and the other heroes clenched their weapons, ready to fight to the death.
Surprisingly, however, it wasn't a stranger, nor were the hounds of the Grand Empress Shakohir.
"Bang"
The door to the hiding place was pushed open, and Kazik, the Gluttonous Locust, who was on guard outside, walked into the room with a man wearing a black hood, and said to the Supreme with an ugly face:
"The hellish Quira bugs are here, and the witherless druids... We need to get out of now! ”
"No, it doesn't matter!"
The Supreme One's gaze was fixed on the black-hooded man in front of him, and he said in a deep voice:
"Who are you? I feel like you, very familiar..."
"Of course it's familiar, after all, I woke you up."
The strange human reached out and lifted the hood, and under that hood, the face of Benedictas had become younger, and the body that had been destroyed by the heroes had returned to normal and even healthier than before, and the guy who had been out of touch for days seemed to have had some kind of adventure.
Benedictas looked at the heroes in front of him, narrowed his eyes, took something out of his storage ring, and opened it in front of the heroes' eyes.
"Huh"
Black, familiar energy fluctuations wafted through the room, and at this moment, the eyes of all the heroes, including the seriously injured Supreme One Corfan, widened because in the box in Benedictas's hand was a small piece of black, wriggling flesh that looked like a fragment of some kind of organ.
"It's... It's..."
The usually calm and clear man could not even speak clearly at this moment, and Benedictas shrugged his shoulders, and said to the heroes in front of him:
"Fortunately, I have brought back your Ancient Venerable... Unfortunately, I went a little late, and I only found this little bit of wreckage, and you can see it, it's so weak, it's... It's almost literally annihilated..."
"Nope! That's enough! ”
The Supreme Stared at the black fragment of flesh and blood, it stood up with difficulty, and under the gaze of the other heroes, Corvan picked up the amber battle axe at his waist, and tore open the wound in his abdomen with an axe, and between the green flesh and blood, the Supreme One shouted with difficulty:
"Put it in my body... With my flesh and blood as the host, as long as we can find enough "nutrients", the Ancient Venerable will still be revived! Fast! ”
Seeing that the Supreme One had made such a sacrifice, Benedictas no longer hesitated, he used his magic hand to take out the black flesh and blood residue, and carefully put it into the wound on the Supreme One's abdomen in front of him, and the moment the black flesh and blood residue touched the fresh flesh, the Supreme One's body was enveloped by a layer of fluttering dark light curtain.
The light curtain was like a large cocoon that had been formed layer by layer, wrapping the weak Supreme One little by little.
And at the moment when the light closed, the Supreme One whispered:
"Before the Ancient Venerable and I awaken, you... Obey the orders of the Awakened... He can be trusted! ”
"Buzz"
The black halo completely closed at this moment, looking at the large black cocoon in front of him that was tall enough for a person, Benedictas's eyes flashed with a gleam, he shrugged his shoulders and said to the other 5 heroes:
"Guys, I know you don't trust me, it's normal, and frankly, I wouldn't have ventured to find you if it weren't for the blightburner doglegs chasing you too closely, but you've heard the Supreme One, and I think we should trust each other at least until we escape..."
"Trust?"
The gluttonous locust Kazik, whose eyes flashed with a brutal light, deliberately threw out the knife-like limbs of his forelimbs, and he deliberately intimidated Benedictas in a cold voice:
"So trustworthy friend, I'm hungry right now, can I take a piece of meat from you... Delicious blood..."
Black Bishop Benedictas glanced at the gluttonous locust, and he snorted:
"Whatever you want, but if you still want to escape, with all due respect, the Great Empress Shakohir is now in fear of the wasteland, and if you want to escape alive, you have to rely on me... Hehe, you may be able to fight better than me, but when it comes to knowing more about Azeroth, do you know more than me? Not to mention anything else, the Supreme Venerable also said just now that if the Ancient Venerable wants to recover, he needs a lot of "nutrients"! ”
"Do you know where to look?"
"Alright, Kazik, don't scare the Awakened."
Ivory Cook the Clearer let out a low mow, and it looked at Benedictas:
"Don't sell it, Awakener, say, how are you going to take us out? And most importantly, where are you going to take us? ”
"It's easy!"
Benedictas took out a rough world map from the storage ring, unfolded it in front of the heroes, pointed to the northernmost continent of the world map, and whispered:
"Here, the northernmost point of the Northrend continent, the North Pole of all of Azeroth, there is another ancient god, Yog Saron, who sleeps here, where we can find enough nutrients to supply to the carrier of the Ancient Venerable, the Supreme Corvan, and most importantly, if I remember correctly, my old friend Gugar, should also be active in this place now!"
"Ulduar, the city of the Titans that has fallen into darkness..."
"That's where we're going... Pack your things and let go of your dignity as a warrior first, heroes, it's time to run away... Of course, when the great "Juggernaut" recovers, we will be back! ”
"Believe me, that day of revenge won't be long." 2k reading web
