Zul'ra sat on the back of a tall reindeer, running through the wilderness with his men, running past the giraffes and Hawkstrider on the roadside. The deer's hooves stepped on the dry ground, raising clouds of smoke and dust. 69รђยא.ς๏๓

In front of the wasteland of the Barrens, you can't see the edge at a glance, with distant wild ridges to the left and right. Before War of the Ancients, this place was still green, until it became the burial place of Agamaggan, the wild boar Loa died in the fierce battle with the Burning Legion in ancient times. After that, the place became barren. Only wild beasts and Centaur, Quilboar, and Harpies survived here.

"Beep...!" Just as Zul'ra was rushing forward, a whistle-like whistle suddenly came from far away in the sky, which was extremely harsh in the open wasteland. The running reindeer, as well as the sitting wolf sandwiched among the reindeer, couldn't help but slow down their running limbs and brake their running speed, as if they were shocked by the sound.

"What is that?" Zul'ra grabbed the reindeer's vines and listened to the sound that continued until it turned into a howling scream. He couldn't help but look at the woman Orcs who was riding a wolf next to him. Beiruid asked, and the Tooth-Soldierss sitting next to the reindeer couldn't help but stop, curiously looking into the distance, and at the same time looking at the female Orcs, waiting for the guide's answer.

"I heard Tauren say that it was the cave that was wailing." Beiruid is the scout of the Barrens's forward post. Her black hair is tied on top of her head and she wears copper rings on her nostrils. Listening to the screams coming from far away, she sniffed her green nose, stretched out her hand to caress the panting sitting wolf under her body, and spat thick brown phlegm on the ground. Her mount was too short and could not run fast, so she ate a lot of smoke and dust among the reindeer.

"The cave is wailing?" Zul'ra looked down at the rude female Orcs with curious eyes, what is going on?

"Yes, I don't know what's going on. These sounds only happened recently. I heard Tauren passing by say that it seemed like water vapor was erupting from the underground cave, just like when our kettle was boiling!" Beiruid's expression was nonchalant. As she spoke, the distant wail slowly became lower and then disappeared.

"So that's it, do such strange noises happen every day?" Zul'ra listened to the shrill and piercing screams and slowly calmed down. He shook the reins in his hands and let the reindeer move forward slowly. At the same time, he was a little confused. Is this an underground hot spring?

"I don't know, I heard Tauren say it very often, and we can hear it occasionally when we pass by!" Beiruid clamped the sitting wolf's belly with his strong legs, and followed the trotting reindeer. The other Tooth-Soldiers saw this and slowly followed.

Zul'ra raised his eyes slightly. It is conceivable that the steam of underground hot springs accumulates and erupts, but what causes the underground water to change into steam so quickly and keep erupting? Moreover, the voice just now seemed to have a feeling that directly hit the soul, and it seemed to be different.

"Zul'ra Jin, here we are, after passing the mountain in front, we are about to enter Lushwater Oasis." Beiruid suddenly spoke, calling back Zul'ra's attention, and pointed at the mountain peak that appeared in the distance.

"That's good, let's hurry up!" Zul'ra looked forward and couldn't help but collect his thoughts. The voice just came from the front. I don't know if I could see it when I passed by, but even if I could find it, I couldn't go there. At this time, it's more important to go to Thunder Bluff to finish the business. I'll see if I have a chance to take a look when I get back and find the location of Wailing Caverns.

Everyone did not speed up, but jogged all the way. The looming mountain peaks in front gradually got closer. There was a road in the mountain peaks. After passing through the somewhat tortuous road, everyone felt their eyes brighten. The barren wasteland disappeared and was replaced by patches of grass.

The verdant green fields gave people hope of life. After resting for a while by the stream in the oasis, filling their stomachs with dry food and letting their mounts drink enough water, everyone set out again, looking for a safe place to rest on the grassland for the night before dark.

Zul'ra At night, I was very interested in looking for the cave where the wailing came from, but I found nothing. The camp was not very peaceful at night. There were too many wild beasts in the oasis, Raptor There were too many wild beasts including leopards and wolves. It was still dark the next day, so everyone had to set off early.

After walking out of the oasis, you cross a wilderness and enter a road that goes straight from the east to the mountains in the west. This road is called Gold Road. As long as you walk along Gold Road and pass through the huge gap in the mountains in the west, you can reach the Mulgore prairie.

The night before arriving at the Mulgore prairie, Zul'ra arrived at Tauren We were located at Camp Taurajo next to Gold Road. The big guys there were led by a man named Jon Starry Eyes. The leader of Tauren, he was very polite. After learning his identity and the target of visiting Cairne Bloodhoof·Bloodhoof, he immediately sent a Tauren riding Kodo Hagla acts as a guard.

Under the escort of Hagla, the group successfully arrived at the grassland of Mulgore at noon the next day. It must be said that the blue sky grassland is very edifying to people's hearts. Lushwater Oasis in the wilderness may also be alive, but it is full of wildness. It is not as spacious and clear as the grassland of Mulgore.

Before arriving at Mulgore, Jon told Zul'ra that Thunder Bluff is still under construction, Cairne Bloodhoof·Bloodhoof Warchief is not in Thunder Bluff, but in Bloodhoof Village of Stonebull Lake, so he doesn't need to travel far.

Tauren tribes have just united and respected Cairne Bloodhoof·Bloodhoof as Warchief. Not only are they facing Quilboar and Centaur The threat from and Harpies, and as for the news about Thrall, there are also sporadic Tauren who are dissatisfied with Cairne Bloodhoof's rule, which is why he is confident to win over Tauren.

After Zul'ra entered Mulgore, he carefully thought about the situation of Tauren, picked up the speed of the reindeer, and planned to reach Bloodhoof Village before dark. However, he felt that he arrived at a bit of a coincidence. He did not reach the Bloodhoof Village before dark, but instead encountered a group of Centaur. Amidst the roaring sound, more than a hundred Centaur rushed towards him.

"Quick, avoid, we have to avoid." Tauren Hagla, who was leading the way, looked at the dark natural cavalry facing him. A look of panic instantly appeared on the cow's face. The Kodo under him also made a humming sound, and its four thick legs were raised uneasily.

"Run to the north, don't be in a hurry!" Zul'ra looked at the guy rushing towards him, made a rough estimate of the number of people, grabbed the reindeer and looked around at the empty surroundings, took the staff carried on his back into his hand, waved it and released a green aura, and said at the same time.

Facing Zul'ra, Tooth-Soldiers and Tooth-Soldiers pulled the deer and headed towards the open north without saying a word, while Beiruid and Hagla were somewhat He hesitated, but finally caught up with the Tooth-Soldierss riding reindeer, leaving only Zul'ra standing there, welcoming the group of Centaurs rushing towards them like a torrent.

"Haha!" Zul'ra looked at the Centaurs on the opposite side, whose scorched yellow faces gradually became clearer as they approached, with a fang exposed from the right corner of their mouths.

good night
