Diakum actually wanted to visit Pandaren's territory "Halfhill", and if possible, experience the life of "Tillers".
But the heavy burden on him prevents him from moving freely.
On the third day after returning to Temple of the Jade Serpent, he took the Lightforgeds and set off again. Exodar shuttled through the mountains of Pandaria, and finally landed on a rather secret mountain platform along the map provided by Shado-Pan.
Because of its extremely high altitude, it is shrouded in damp and cold fog all year round. The locals call this place "Mistveil Road".
This plank road is the only natural mountain road connecting the Valley of the Four Winds and Kun-Lai Mountain. Its famous ten thousand stone steps are built into the steep cliff, almost cutting a passable road out of the mountain.
That was the passage that the Pandaren craftsmen of the Mogu era had to pay countless sacrifices and blood and sweat to complete. After the Pandarens took over the power of Pandaria, they also maintained this road very carefully.
They also erected a statue here to commemorate the masons who sacrificed their lives to dig the plank road.
Therefore, Mistveil Road has a famous landscape called "Stonemason's Folly".
Of course, with Pandaren's habit of summarizing allusions, Stonemason's Folly must have his own little story, but Diakum didn't have time to come here to listen to Pandaren's story when he got off the spacecraft.
The reason why he stayed on this mountain platform was that in addition to supplying Light Weavers, he also had to complete an important thing here.
In other words, a "trial".
"Vale of Eternal Blossoms is just northwest of Misty Tavern. I will take you there in person soon."
As agreed before, leader Taran Zhu was waiting here with several Shado Masters. After the two parties met, Sect Leader Zhu said seriously to Diakum:
"That place has a restriction set by the emperor and not too many people are allowed to enter. Based on my previous experience, you'd better go alone, otherwise you may offend the elders Jinyu and Chi-Ji the Red Crane who are guarding Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
They have been suppressing monsters in the emperor's palace all year round. Although they are strong-willed, such long years have also made them very indifferent to changes in the outside world.
As for others, you can take a break and do some shopping at Misty Tavern for the time being."
Sect Leader Zhu pointed to the commanders Twins and Lightforged at the Pandaren tavern not far away, which was hidden in the pine forest and clouds. He said in a subtle tone:
"The hot spring in the wine shop is Pandaria's unique feature. It can activate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and calm the mind. The owner Madam Goya here is a powerful intelligence master, and he also does some Black Market business.
If you plan to take some "souvenirs" back, then Misty Tavern is a resting place you can't miss."
The other Lightforged commanders were somewhat disapproving.
This is not arrogance, the main reason is that he is really well-informed, and Pandaria has been trapped in the fog for ten thousand years, and has no communication with the outside world, so the weapons in Pandaren's hands are not considered to be top-notch in the world.
However, Vigilant nodded seriously and indicated with his eyes that Twins would have a good talk with Madam Goya later and it would be best to establish a good relationship.
When leader Taran Zhu went to prepare some necessary items, Diakum whispered to Twins and other commanders:
"That Madam Goya is the leader of a force called "Jade Lotus". Black Market is just an inconspicuous part of their many industries. Jade Lotus has eyes and ears all over Pandaria, and is an assassin and intelligence organization on this continent.
And I can be sure that Jade Lotus's position here is much stronger than Ravenholdt Manor's control over Eastern Continent.
After the fog opens, this organization will definitely sweep into the shadow zone of Azeroth in a short period of time. The Ninja Masters of Jade Lotus cannot be underestimated. If you want to catch those Ethereal Bandit, cooperating with them is a good choice."
"That's it."
Twins nodded, Yrel also blinked, ready to go shopping at Pandaren Black Market.
However, when Diakum and Taran Zhu were about to leave for Vale of Eternal Blossoms, the mysterious Madam Goya took the initiative to show up. Behind her, a tall and taciturn Pandaren handed two unique weapons to the two.
Madam Goya introduced the two of them in a gentle voice:
"These are special weapons that we seized from Mantid of Dread Wastes not long ago through some "special channels". Those heroes have only completed the forging of these weapons in recent years.
They call it "Sha-Touched Weapon".
I heard that Chi-Ji was injured by such weapons, which shows their danger. However, I believe that weapons themselves are not good or evil. Mantid uses them to harm righteous people, but heroes can also use them to maintain justice.
Therefore, these two weapons are handed over to the two heroes to bring into Vale of Eternal Blossoms to help you break through the obstacles."
Diakum didn't say anything, but just reached out and stroked the black and white two-handed giant axe. The sharp blade of this thing was spread with evil aura like the growth of blood, adding a unique edge to it.
He took a look at the description of the weapon's entry. This was actually the quality of an ordinary legendary weapon, but it had a unique [Evil Color] entry.
The more negative emotions in the user's heart and the more persistent they are, the stronger the destructive power of this thing will be, and it will have additional killing effects on creatures of the order camp.
After careful analysis, this should be a "camp artifact" unique to the void side.
Diakum If this giant ax is useless, he has already passed the point where he needs weapons to increase his destructive power.
Taran Zhu did not refuse Madam Goya's help.
He once challenged Vale of Eternal Blossoms's trial. He knew how dangerous the power in that palace was, but the Shadow Trace leader also knew that the "widow" in front of him was not so kind.
He said while replacing his original weapons with the pair of black and white insect-limb-like evil-dyed gloves:
"Jade Lotus must have paid a lot of casualties to get this thing. What kind of reward do you want?"
"After the work is completed, Vale of Eternal Blossoms belongs to us. If Jade Lotus wants to step into the light, it needs a stable headquarters."
Madam Goya is really not afraid of angering Taran Zhu, she said like a lion:
"We can't just think about the present, we have to take a long-term view. In the future, when Pandaria integrates into the outside world, you and the sages of Golden Lotus will always need smart eyes and ears. We are happy to "whitewash" from now on and eventually become a branch of Shado-Pan.
Pandaria's war may be coming to an end. As the leader, I always have to think more about the livelihood of the brothers in the gang. I hope you can give us poor people who are living in the shadows a chance.
We can also love Pandaria.
We can also become Pandaren's dark Shadowguard warriors."
Taran Zhu did not answer immediately. This kind of matter needs to be discussed and studied.
However, Diakum leaned on the black and white giant axe, and said to Madam Goya, who had been secretly sizing him up:
"Eastern Continent" There is an organization called "SI:7". They are preparing for a human unification war, but they are suffering from a shortage of manpower. If you all need it, you can talk to the lady in black next to me. She can make recommendations on your behalf.
In addition, if you can get more Sha-Touched Weapon for one of my Shadow Walkers, I can also introduce you to the Draenor world, where we do not yet have a well-established intelligence organization."
Madam Goya's eyes lit up.
This was exactly the opportunity she longed for, but she knew that specific negotiations could not be discussed with the big leaders. The big leaders were very busy and their energy should be used on more important things.
There is a dedicated person responsible for such tedious matters.
Therefore, the leader of Jade Lotus bowed and made a guarantee:
"If it can cause chaos in Dread Wastes, Jade Lotus can get you the production methods of these Sha-Touched Weapon. Rather than snatching them from Mantid, why not make them yourself."
"There will be a chance. Please treat my Warriors properly. I'll be right back."
Diakum nodded, and disappeared into the fog of Mistveil Road together with Taran Zhu. The two ignored the looming "guys" in the fog, and they quickly arrived in front of Vale of Eternal Blossoms's extravagantly luxurious palace gate.
This palace is not Pandaren Emperor's luxurious enjoyment, but "inherited" by Pandaren from Mogu Emperor. It is full of Mogu's overly straightforward and grand luxury style.
Even the decoration of the vermilion door is made of gold.
"Once you open this door, you can only move forward bravely."
Taran Zhu reminded:
"Although the notes left by Emperor Shaohao didn't mention much about Vale of Eternal Blossoms, based on Lorewalkers's years of research, we can basically confirm that the culprit who forced Emperor Shaohao to sacrifice himself in order to raise Mist Veil, that "Sha of Pride" should have been sealed here.
That's why there are two strong men, Chi-Ji the Red Crane and Monkey King, joining forces to suppress them.
His Majesty Shaohao reminded you in Timeless Isle that you must come here. I am afraid he also hopes that you will use your unique power to eradicate the shadow of arrogance for Pandaria."
Speaking of this, Sect Leader Zhu said with some shame:
"We have been fighting with other Sha for many years, and have a special mental inheritance to fight against negative emotions, but this "arrogance" is really elusive. All powerful people have arrogance, and this is almost impossible to get rid of Devil Obstruction.
I have been stuck in this way for many years and have never been able to reach the state of "Unity of Heaven and Man".
In the previous challenge, I lost because of my state of mind.
I'm not afraid of your jokes, I was almost swallowed up by the arrogance in my heart, but Chi-Ji the Red Crane threw me out of here and I luckily escaped with my life."
He sighed and said sadly:
"If I can't crack Devil Obstruction, I will never have the chance to reach the pinnacle of martial arts in this life."
"You still have a long life, why worry about it? You will protect me in a while."
Dick tore open a Sea of Darkness crack, threw the Sha-Touched Weapon in his hand into it, and gave it to the insect swarm to study whether the characteristics of this thing can be inherited by the insect swarm.
Then he stretched out his hand and pushed open the heavy palace door. Amidst the low echo, what came into view was a rather elegant royal palace, much more luxurious than the palace of a human king.
They included a natural lake and half of the mountain.
There are many secrets in this royal courtyard, but what Diakum is looking for is on the golden observation deck in front of the lake. When he stepped into Vale of Eternal Blossoms, a pressure pressed on his shoulders.
It was as if a pair of eyes were observing him and analyzing him.
This guy's strength is a bit outrageous. The three heads of doubt, fear and despair that were suppressed before Sha combined are not as strong as him, and the most important thing is
"Sha of Pride has a carrier!"
Dick narrowed his eyes and said to Taran Zhu:
"No wonder you couldn't defeat it before. Not only did you fight against the power of arrogance, but you also had a Wild God that was strengthened by Sha energy. This is a difficult enemy for me."
"How is that possible?"
Taran Zhu exclaimed:
"If it had a carrier, the arrogant evil power should have exploded long ago. Sha with or without a carrier are completely two different concepts."
"How can we seal it without a carrier?"
Diakum shook his hand, Ashbringer jumped into his hand, and as Light Blade was in line, he strode forward, the scorching light continued to spread, and he said loudly:
"A Wild God with a spirit of sacrifice used himself as a cage to lock Sha of Pride in its body. He used his body as a prison to suppress the shadow of arrogance here for ten thousand years, so that it could not escape Vale of Eternal Blossoms to cause harm to all living beings.
This may be why I particularly like the land Pandaria.
Here are not only Four Celestials who share weal and woe with Pandaren, but also noble leaders who are willing to sacrifice themselves to protect all living beings, as well as secluded solitary people who are not weaker than them in self-sacrifice.
It was these people who persevered in the fog that allowed the outside world to spend tens of thousands of years leisurely.
Show up!"
he shouted:
"Shaohao asked me to come here not only to remove Sha, Monkey King! He also asked me to come here to provide "relief" to his respectable companion."
The latest ⊥ little ⊥ talk ⊥ is first posted on ⊥⊥⊥!
"Hey, where does this blue-skinned hairless monster dare to talk nonsense here?"
Sharp and sarcastic voices sounded from all directions in the royal palace, making it unclear where the guy was hiding, but his voice was filled with some kind of lively joy, as if it was treating this as another piece of fun.
"Hey, isn't this Xiao Zhu? Why are you here to be beaten again? Wasn't the lesson learned more than ten years ago profound enough?"
The voice sarcastically said:
"Go and have a rest. Don't bother me here to meditate on meditation and enlightenment. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you go any further, you will end up in the Asura Hell."
"Pretend to be a ghost!"
When Vigilant stepped into the palace square, Jinyu's great sages immediately emerged from the water angrily.
As Pandaren's staunch allies, after Shaohao sacrificed himself, they voluntarily stayed here to suppress the evil forces and did not want the outside world to disturb the peace of this place.
Sect Leader Zhu was planning to step forward to help, but saw Vigilant rushing into the Jinyu sages in a great burst of light. Blinding Light was so shrouded that he couldn't see his figure clearly, and could only hear screams and heavy blows.
After more than ten seconds, the light faded away, and Vigilant continued to move forward without messing up their clothes. The beaten great sages lay on the ground with bruises and swollen faces, breathing hard.
They are Jinyu!
They are fish!
And those ten seconds just now were like taking the fish out of the water and leaving it in the sun for several days. If you sprinkle some salt on it, it would be a real "old salted fish".
Lao Zhu also realized something at this moment.
Oh, the purpose of co-writing to protect you is to help you clean up the aftermath of these battles, right? Then what are the "breakthrough materials" that I have worked hard to prepare these past few days?
Sect Leader Zhu complained in his heart. Seeing that he no longer needed his help, he stepped forward to help several Jinyu great sages and dragged them to a safe area. He raised his head and saw that Diakum had rushed towards the golden observation deck, and reminded:
"Chi-Ji the Red Crane is right there! That's a powerful enemy."
"Ouch"
It was like an announcer. When Lao Zhu finished shouting, a desolate dragon roar sounded from the lake in front. In the explosion of the whirlpool of the water, a golden Cloud Serpent broke out of the air and pounced towards Diakum in the thunderstorm of light and shadow.
Vigilant I really have no intention of fighting with this guy.
At first glance, this giant creature has thick skin and can fly. Most importantly, it is wrapped in light and shadow, which means that Zhulong also has dual power. It can be violently cracked but it will waste a lot of time.
Therefore, Vigilant decisively chose to "shake people".
As he turned in his hand, an emerald green World Tree twig jumped out, and with a gentle brush beside him, a Dream Gate was opened. The roar of Zhulong was like a "wake-up bell" and a signal agreed upon before.
When Emperor Shaohao's former companion rushed down with a roar, a giant silver and green dragon also came out of the dream and rushed forward with great bravery.
"The Sleeper"Ysera joins the battle!
She was originally the foreign aid prepared by World Mother for Diakum in order to solve Pandaria's big trouble, and her appearance at this time was just right.
Its original Malzeno form is extremely good at close combat, and Ysera controls Dream Authority, which can heal all things. Seeing the crazy appearance of this Zhulong, you know that it is in urgent need of "psychological treatment."
Then let Ysera use its claws to "gently wake up the sleeping soul."
The two behemoths were entangled and fighting, causing the dragon to roar in the wild. Ysera was entangled by Zhulong, and seemed to be strangled to death, but her trident-like giant tail also wrapped around Zhulong's head. The two sides exerted force at the same time, causing the scales to tear and the dragon's blood to spill.
In the Roaring Job, the two dragons smashed into the ground, causing bricks and rocks to break apart, and then they attacked again, killing them until the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
It's a pity that Vigilant has left all this behind.
He had already stepped onto the steps of the golden observation deck, and when he was near the lake, he heard Monkey King's sarcasm:
"You are quite popular, kid. You can find so many people to help you fight, but I also have my own friends, little Lei Shi. Some bad guys have come to bully your uncle Monkey King.
Seeing as I've been playing with you for ten thousand years, why don't you come out and fight right away?"
"Hey, who dares to bully my friends?!"
The water of the lake formed a bursting whirlpool, and a water spirit with a Pandaren festive style jumped out of the water. From the sound, you could tell it was a child.
Elemental creatures are so outrageous. Ten thousand years have not allowed this innate spiritual water essence to grow into adulthood.
But the little Lei Shi in front of her at this time is not the "soft-voiced but painful doormat" in Diakum's memory. Having played with Monkey King for ten thousand years, one can imagine how naughty her character is.
Seeing Diakum rushing over with a giant blade, the water spirit howled and raised a tide to drive this "blue-skinned hairless monster" out!
She regards Vale of Eternal Blossoms as her own home and naturally does not allow outsiders to bully her playmates.
The tide rolled and strangled, swallowing Diakum whole person, but as the water rolled in, little Lei Shi realized something was wrong.
Not only was that guy not washed away, but a destructive hot force was gathering and erupting in his own water flow.
Ancient Water Spirit panicked and was about to summon more water to drive away the enemy, but in the next second Hand of the Fire Lord was hit in the head by the tearing tide.
"Ah!"
Shui Ling let out an earth-shattering scream, but in fact her head was not really hurt at all.
Although fire and water are incompatible, the fact that Secret Land was born from the energy gathering of Vale of Eternal Blossoms shows that she is not a "serious element". Although her energy level is indeed not at the level of Elemental Lords, considering that little Lei Shi is still young, the power of this guy when fully grown cannot be underestimated.
At this time, facing Lord of Radiance Ragnaros's provocative roar, little Lei Shi got so strong that he simply rolled up his sleeves and went forward to fight, no longer thinking about protecting his "Uncle Monkey King".
This scene made Monkey King, who was hiding behind the pool, very helpless. While cursing, "I've been hurting you all these years," he finally showed up.
A Hozen.
In other words, a gray-haired giant monkey.
He was wearing the Monk robe left by Shaohao, but his thin body couldn't hold up the wide cuffs at all. He looked like a funny monkey in costume, with a "clan-style" monkey king crown on his head.
The nearly bald tail was wagging back and forth. It scratched the mane on its neck and pulled out a handful of hair. It seemed that it was the intruder's fault that it was losing hair, so it glared at Diakum.
The change of emotions caused waves of blue evil energy to surround it, forming a "spirit behind" with teeth and claws.
"Am I the only Hozen in the world whose soul will not be infected by Sha? Only I have suppressed this Sha of Pride for ten thousand years and will not run away. If it had been anyone else in the world, this Pandaria would have been bleeding like a river long ago."
Holding the legendary Staff of Fuzan, the old monkey, who was already old, beat his waist in the background of the elemental war and the destruction of the world, and said helplessly to Diakum:
"Just let me die with it, but you have to come and take over the heavy burden that may drag you into Netherworld under the command of the nosy Shaohao.
you guy
Are you really that selfless?"
"So, since I boarded Pandaria, you have been hiding and peeking, right?"
Diakum shook Ashbringer, letting the holy flame cover and burn.
He complained:
"If Anzu, who is good at sneaking around, hadn't noticed someone peeping, I really wouldn't have been able to spot you. I'm not really that selfless, but if you can knock me down with mere arrogance, you would be a bit too contemptuous.
Come on, Monkey King, take your burden off!
Shaohao's last wish is this, don't make it difficult for me to do it well, okay?"
Faced with this persuasion, Monkey King gave an ugly smile, then swung his stick, and put on a Monk posture behind a set of chic stick flowers, and said:
"I'm willing to throw this thing to you, a hairless idiot, and then run away to be cool Mortal realm, but when I see you, I have been relying on you for ten thousand years. I think about running away every day, but I don't want to leave.
There is something about you that makes it fearful.
So, you know the rules, if you want it, come and get it yourself!"
