Those Who Lose the Way Receive Much Help (1)

The Heizong Tauren is a branch of the Tauren.

The Tauren of this race have dark, shiny manes, a symbol of their ability to use magic; all Heizong Tauren can use Shadow Magic.

The darker the color of the mane, the stronger their affinity for shadows.

The Heizong Tauren are ostracized by the Mulgore Tauren and live in the desolate mountains. Due to the harsh environment and lack of food, their numbers are small.

Even they themselves loathe this talent; the Heizong Tauren forbids the practice of Shadow Magic, and those who disobey will be expelled from their race.

War Master Blackhorn is such an anomaly. From a young age Blackhorn, he displayed incredibly powerful shadow talent, and weak Void Creatures often came to him seeking refuge.

Blackhorn was considered an omen of bad luck from birth, surrounded by a dense aura of darkness. He was abandoned by his people in the wilderness, but was fortunate enough to be raised by shadow creatures, which allowed him to grow up safely.

Several years ago, the Heizong Tauren clan suffered a calamity. In order to satisfy the Orcs' ever-increasing demand for Tauren meat, the then Thunder Bluff chieftain, Cairne Bloodhoof, personally led an elite Tauren guard into the deep mountains to hunt down the Heizong Tauren.

The Heizong Tauren were physically weaker than the Mulgore Tauren and were no match for them. The Heizong Warchief was Execute by Cairne Bloodhoof, and all his people were captured and prepared to be offered to the great Savior Thrall for consumption.

At the critical moment of annihilation, Blackhorn stepped forward. He easily defeated Cairne Bloodhoof in a one-on-one duel using Shadow Magic, and then defeated Cairne's elite guard by arranging his loyal shadow creatures in formation.

Cairne Bloodhoof escaped using Teleportation Scroll. Most of his elite Tauren guards were killed, and the survivors, parasitized by shadows, were practically dead and became loyal subordinates of Blackhorn.

Blackhorn rose to fame in one battle and was hailed as a master of war by the Tauren.

Even so, Blackhorn still did not gain the recognition of his people. He lived in the more desolate deep mountains, spending his days with shadow creatures, whom the Heizong Minotaur regarded as ominous beings.

Elemental Lords Morchok and Hagara the Stormbinder have both become Thrall's Servants, and Void Creatures have already informed Blackhorn.

But Blackhorn didn't care at all; he was a master of war and never feared any battle.

Blackhorn is dedicated to researching the history of the Tauren, and he has found the remains of the ancient Yaungol in the deep mountains.

In the ancient Legendary of the Tauren, the Tauren race originated from the Yaungol were initially cruel and savage creatures with little intelligence.

But a force transformed the Yaungol, making them wise, united, and able to learn language and writing, establish Clans, and develop civilization.

The Tauren all say this is thanks to Earth Mother, but Blackhorn is skeptical, since there has never been any evidence of Earth Mother's existence.

The Yaungol ruins discovered in Blackhorn are a mist-shrouded mountain range consisting of seven peaks tightly connected in a circle, with a basin in the center, filled with an ominous and dark aura.

This is a forbidden zone; all creatures that enter the basin never return.

Even the Void Creatures under Blackhorn's command dared not enter the basin, and Blackhorn himself only dared to venture into the outer perimeter. On a mist-shrouded mountain peak, he discovered an ancient palace built by the Yaungol.

The palace, built from unpolished megaliths, is full of rugged beauty. Some remains were discovered in Blackhorn, and after comparison, they should belong to the ancient Yaungol.

To Blackhorn's surprise, he detected magical elements within the skeleton, which is why the skeleton has been passed down through the ages.

The original Yaungol were capable of using magic, and Blackhorn speculated that Earth Mother might be more than just a Legendary.

He excavated around the palace and found more skeletons, stone tools, pottery jars, and so on.

Blackhorn needs more evidence and doesn't want to stop the excavation work for a moment.

The chieftain of the Heizong Tauren Jianjiao Heiti, lives in a cave, a rare haven in the desolate mountains. Upon entering the cave, one is greeted by a bright and open space. Sunlight streams in from above, creating a warm, courtyard-sized area. Clear Flowing Water flows from the depths of the cave, and fertile land is covered with vegetation.

The Jianjiao Heiti awoke in the sunlight, where a beautiful Tauren maid was already waiting to serve him as he washed up.

Looking at the slightly gloomy reflection in the basin, I had a strange sense of foreboding.

A Shaman rushed in, wiping the sweat from his brow:

"Chief, something terrible has happened!"

Sharphorn said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you to be calm and collected? We Heizong Tauren are the most powerful race in Azeroth, with a long history. Protected by Earth Mother, no one can threaten us."

The Shaman hurriedly produced a letter:

"This is a letter from the ominous Blackhorn. In it, he tells us that Thrall is coming and warns us to be prepared, preferably hiding deep in the mountains. Thrall is accompanied by a Bronze Dragonflight, a stone elemental, and an Orcs female mage; they are extremely powerful."

Sharp Horn took Blackhorn's letter, glanced at it, casually handed it to the maid beside him, and sneered:

"Thrall, a mere fallen Orcs, has frightened Blackhorn like this? We are different from a few years ago. With the protection of Earth Mother, even if Warchief Garrosh leads the entire Horde to attack, they are nothing but ants before me."

Sharphorn was full of confidence. A few years ago, after Sharphorn's father was Execute Cairne, Sharphorn, who had just come of age, inherited the position of Warchief of Heizong. However, his foundation was still shallow, and several elders of the tribe took the opportunity to make trouble. Sharphorn was no match for them and fled to this cave.

Deep inside the cave, Sharphorn unexpectedly discovered a statue of Earth Mother, received Earth Mother protection, and gained unparalleled divine power, easily killing several traitors.

In the history of the Tauren, this was the first time Tauren had gained the favor of Earth Mother. Subsequently, under Earth Mother's guidance, Sharphorn became incredibly powerful, ruling the tribe with absolute authority. At the same time, his ambition swelled, and if his tribe hadn't been so small, he would have already stormed Thunder Bluff.

Seeing the chief's confidence, the Shaman finally breathed a sigh of relief and praised him:

"May Earth Mother protect us Heizong Tauren, and may our Warchief a long and prosperous life, and soon unite the Tauren."

Sharphorn waved his hand, ordering the Shaman to leave. He then dismissed his servants and went alone into the depths of the cave.

The statue of Earth Mother is a benevolent female Tauren with her head covered in dense, sharp horns. Among the Tauren race, horns are a symbol of power, representing the supreme divine power of Earth Mother.

Sharphorn knelt devoutly on the ground, praying, "Merciful Earth Mother, humble Jianjiao Heiti begs for your guidance. The cruel Orcs Thrall is coming; how should I face him?"

A majestic voice emanated from the statue of Earth Mother:

"My child, be careful. Thrall, Thrall Savior, Consecration everything to save Azeroth. The Heizong Tauren should fulfill the Savior's wishes and fully cooperate with the great Savior."

Sharphorn paused slightly, realizing that his father had been killed by Cairne Bloodhoof. He knew Thrall's character perfectly well, so why would Earth Mother speak of Thrall in this way?

Unfortunately, the sharp horns, obsessed with Earth Mother, never questioned that their wisdom was no match for Earth Mother's, and hastily replied:

"Thanks to Earth Mother for her guidance, the Heizong Tauren pledges allegiance to Thrall."
