Elven Ranger Meridale

North of Sunstone Peak lies the border of Pandaria, a place where Pandaria's rivers converge, and also the ancestral home of the Elves.

The northern Elves and Pandaren have been friends for generations, often engaging in trade. Ji Feng and Li Luo are heading north to seek help from the Elven clans.

After more than half a month of travel, Ji Feng and Li Luo finally arrived in the northern region of Sunstone Peak...

The sky was high and the air was clear, with a pleasant cool breeze. The climate in the north was neither as humid and rainy as the Krasarang Wilds, nor as barren as the Dread Wastes. The climate here was quite similar to the Valley of the Four Winds.

In the era before the Sundering, the north of Sunstone Peak was not yet submerged by the Endless Sea. Here, the grass was lush, the water flowed gently, and the mountainsides were covered with herbivores. Leisurely horn-sheep, wild stags, cunning foxes, and giant sand-backed mountain beasts grazed. Turtles basked by the river, and sky-blue water flies occasionally emerged from the water. The scenery of the north was truly captivating.

Sunrise in the north, sunset sees mountain villages...

At dusk, Ji Feng and Li Luo stood on a high plateau, gazing at a distant village. Beyond the endless fields, rows of domed houses could be seen, their heights staggered, each with its own courtyard.

Human and Pandaren architecture often featured sloped roofs, while Elves preferred courtyards and pointed houses. It was clear that the distant village was an Elven settlement.

"Brother, we've finally arrived at the Elven territory. I remember coming here fifty years ago. I never expected that everything would be just as it was this time, not changed in the slightest..." Looking at the distant mountain village, Li Luo couldn't help but sigh.

In ancient times, Pandaren lived for a hundred years without their movements weakening. In this era when the Well of Eternity nourished all things, Pandaren were considered adults at eighty years old. Li Luo, at her current age, was still a maiden, not very old.

"We're here, we've truly arrived. Now, you should come out! How long do you plan to follow us?" Ji Feng said coldly, turning his head slightly to look at the jungle behind them.

With the system in hand, Ji Feng could detect all nearby enemies. At this moment, Ji Feng could clearly see the white skull icons on the regional map, representing enemies.

The skull icon represented an enemy, and its color indicated the enemy's strength. White meant the approaching enemy was not strong. After all, red-named enemies like Shanbu were not easily encountered...

"Brother, what are you..."

"What... still not coming out? Do you want me to make you?"

As Li Luo looked on in confusion, Ji Feng suddenly took out a piece of black rock ore and threw it forcefully as he spoke.

"Hmph... to think a mere Pandaren could discover my presence, how truly strange..."

"You guy..."

The surrounding area for dozens of miles was covered in light yellow grassland with many small bushes. The moment Ji Feng threw the stone, an Elf with pointed ears appeared in the woods.

"Brother, it's a female Elf! Her eyes are blue..." Li Luo exclaimed upon seeing the Elf emerge from the jungle.

With snow-white skin, pointed, delicate ears, long golden hair, sapphire-blue eyes, and purple clan markings drawn on her eyebrows, the newcomer was a young Elven maiden.

"Who are you people? What are you doing in our Elven territory?" The Elven maiden emerged from the jungle, quickly drew a dagger from her waist, and pointed it at Ji Feng, asking.

"Little girl, is your elder at home? Can you take me to see your elder?"

Seeing the newcomer, Ji Feng shook his head. The Elven maiden before him was beautiful, but she was less than 1.5 meters tall. She hadn't reached adulthood, and it was obvious to anyone that she was a greenhorn.

Ji Feng and Li Luo were currently in Pandaren form, standing nearly two meters tall. The young Elven maiden was insignificant standing before them.

"I... I'm an Elven ranger! How dare a mere Pandaren look down on me? If it weren't for your decent demeanor, I would have already taken you down..."

The greenhorn held her dagger, hunched over, attempting a stab. However, the normally serious assassination move was completely distorted in her hands, making her look utterly ridiculous and failing to intimidate anyone.

"Also, don't call me 'little girl.' My hundredth birthday is coming up soon, and then I'll be considered an adult..."

"You chubby, fat person, you're so rude..."

The little girl narrowed her eyes slightly, displaying an expression completely unsuited to her age – the look of a superior plotting world domination. Her attempt at this expression was truly jarring.

"Little girl, you have no chest and no backside. What do you want me to call you?"

"And it's 'fat person,' not 'fat once.' You need to be responsible for what you say. I don't think you've ever been crushed by a Mogu Mountain Beast..." Ji Feng teased with a hint of displeasure.

"Ah! How dare a mere Pandaren mock me? I'll teach you a lesson, Shadow Strike..."

The little girl hunched her body and disappeared from Ji Feng and Li Luo's sight. This was an Elven ranger's spell. In this era, Rogues and Hunters were not yet distinct classes; both could be called Rangers.

Ji Feng closed his eyes, remaining motionless like an old monk in meditation. He seemed to not take his opponent seriously...

Swish!

A white light flashed, and a dagger lunged towards Ji Feng. At that critical moment, Ji Feng moved.

Two fingers!

With just two fingers, Ji Feng blocked the little girl's attack, catching the sharp dagger between his fingers. Such martial prowess was truly astonishing.

"A monster!"

The little girl had only ever seen Pandaren as simple, honest farmers. She had never encountered a Pandaren warrior. Seeing Ji Feng block her attack with just his fingers, she was truly speechless with fear.

"Little girl, how about it? Do you still want to fight me? If you apologize to me, I'll be magnanimous and let you off today." As he finished speaking, Ji Feng lightly flicked his fingers, and the dagger fell between the little girl's legs, embedding itself in the ground.

At this moment, Ji Feng could already guess the subsequent plot. He imagined the little girl crying and begging for mercy, after which he and Li Luo would comfort her, and perhaps she might even become his disciple.

Lost in thought, Ji Feng couldn't help but smile. His smile carried a hint of gentleness and a lot of warmth, a thoroughly gentlemanly demeanor...

"One arrow pierces the clouds, and ten thousand horses come to meet. You furry ** wait for me, my people will arrive soon. I am Meridale Sindragosa, and I am a member of the Stormrage Guard..."

"You fat once... soon, Lord Illidan Stormrage will lead the guard here, and I will teach you a harsh lesson then..."

While Ji Feng was dreaming, the little girl, with lightning speed, retrieved a red tube from her waist. Inside was a flare used by the Elven guard for summoning aid.

"Bang! Bang!"

A burst of red fireworks exploded in the sky. This sudden explosion jolted Ji Feng awake.

"Red flare, first-class reinforcement order! Pandaren, Lord Illidan will be here soon..." After firing the flare, the little girl was no longer as afraid. She picked up her dagger and cautiously took up a defensive stance.

"The script isn't supposed to go like this! I'm the protagonist. Illidan, do you have to show up so early!" Ji Feng roared inwardly.

Red fireworks bloomed in the sky, and a golden gaze slowly looked into the distance. The figure of Illidan Stormrage, the prophesied child chosen by the Moon Goddess Elune and the Mother of Light, Xi'la, slowly appeared before the Elven village.
