Although there are some differences in consciousness, on the whole it is going smoothly based on the original good foundation. After gaining a certain degree of independence, Shu'halo will become a member of Horde, Cairne Bloodhoof, as Shu'halo's Warchief, will also swear allegiance to Horde.6 ͓̽9 ͓̽s ͓̽h ̽u ͓̽

After the successful negotiation, Cairne Bloodhoof was very excited and asked his subordinates to burn the fact that Shu'halo joined Horde into a totem so that it could be passed on to future generations. At the same time, he entertained Zul'ra with great enthusiasm to express his gratitude to him.

Zul'ra felt that he and Lao Niu had different ideas, so he no longer mentioned those annoying political issues, but devoted himself to observing the culture and society of Shu'halo.

The current Thunder Bluff is still under construction, and the various tribes of Tauren are contributing to this. There is also harassment from Centaur outside. Cairne Bloodhoof is somewhat inseparable from this, so he temporarily assigned his recovered son Baine Bloodhoof·Bloodhoof as the tour guide of Zul'ra.

Baine Bloodhoof·Bloodhoof is the son of Cairne Bloodhoof and Tamaala. He is a powerful Warrior, but he was broken into by Bloodhoof Village. Kidnapped by Centaur, this young Tauren boy had a bit of a shadow in his heart. However, after being assigned the important task by his father, he suppressed the shadow in his heart and said that he would lead his savior to experience the Shu'halo society with his intact side.

Under the leadership of Baine Bloodhoof, Zul'ra first visited two scholars from the Skychaser Tribe, Tahu·Huifeng and Oponi·Liangmane.

Tauren's Skychaser Tribe is famous for its priests, and among them there are prophets who can foresee the future. Tahu·Hui Feng and Oponi Brightmane, whom Zul'ra visited, are the lucky ones. At the same time, they are also strong supporters of Cairne Bloodhoof uniting with Shu'halo.

From Tahu Hui Feng and Opony Bright Mane, Zul'ra learned a lot about the traditional customs of Tauren. The Tauren people used carved totems to record their historical events, and they used mythological stories to record the origin and experience of the race.

At Oponi and Tahu, Zul'ra saw many long-standing totem poles. Different from the strange lines and majestic momentum of voodoo carvings, the carvings on those totem poles were exquisite and thick, recording Tauren myths and tribal origins: Dawn Mist, Earth Mother's Sorrow, White Deer and Moon God, Runetotem and the King of the Forest, The Future Chasing the Stars, The Man Who Sings in the Clouds, Blood-stained Hooves.

Tauren is a nomadic people, but they did not live everywhere at first, but because of strong external forces, they had to move and live several times, such as Mogu and Centaur. However, Mogu no longer exists in their history, but Centaur still exists.

Those Tauren look rough and rough, but underneath their rough and ferocious appearance, they possess extremely rare kindness and delicacy. They can tolerate some seemingly excessive offenses from others, and have dexterous hands that are inconsistent with their appearance. They are proficient in many exquisite technologies, such as carving, weaving, pottery, gourmet food, and even some engineering.

Tauren can carve totems out of wooden pillars, weave blankets out of animal hair, bake exquisite pottery out of clay, and build stable and simple machinery out of wood. Zul'ra followed Baine Bloodhoof to the unfinished Thunder Bluff, and saw with his own eyes the stable elevators built by Tauren.

Tauren people's craft culture is very attractive, but their most attractive thing is their food. They have excellent baking technology and use pine nuts, hazelnuts, and corn to bake delicious spice bread and various cookies and cakes, which are extremely delicious.

Although the Tauren people were forced by external forces to forget the Druid way, in the long process of migration, they developed unprecedented cultivation capabilities. In addition to staple foods such as oats, corn, and rice, they also cultivated by-products such as sugar beets, cocoa, coffee, tobacco, onions, and peppers, and were able to collect abundant dried fungi and fruits from nature.

Although they are nomadic people, Tauren are not at all as poor as nomadic people on the earth. The various crops they grow have great economic value. Although they do not value money, they only provide themselves with abundant food. In addition to planting technology, Zul'ra also discovered something in Mulgore that made him crazy: crayfish.

In the streams and rivers of Mulgore, there grows a kind of shell shrimp with red shell and double claws. Tauren people regard this shell shrimp as a delicacy. They put the tail meat of the shell shrimp into a thick soup made of fat and flour, and use onions, green celery and pepper as seasonings. The thick juice is cooked and used to mix with rice, or put into pancakes or puff pastry as a filling. The taste is extremely delicious.

In Tauren's tribe, crayfish is usually only a food used to celebrate weddings or the birth of Tauren's children. As a distinguished guest, Zul'ra is naturally lucky enough to taste this kind of delicacy, but he feels that it is a waste of nature. Shouldn't the most correct way to eat crayfish be spicy, minced garlic, and thirteen spices?

After staying in the Mulgore grassland for a week, Zul'ra saw so many fascinating things. Just when he was deciding how to bring crayfish seedlings and various plant roots back to Eastern Kingdoms, and persuaded Cairne Bloodhoof to partner with him to make a small amount of money farming for Horde, Tauren's Thunder Bluff was officially completed.

Thunder Bluff is one of the several Taiyuan of Mulgore. Because the terrain there is far away from the grassland ground of Mulgore, and the terrain is steep, which can keep them away from Centaur and the harassment of wild beasts, so it was chosen as the first city address of Tauren.

In order to settle down in Thunder Bluff smoothly, the Taurens built long rope ladders between several terraces, and also built elevators under the cliff to facilitate travel and transportation. However, just when they were about to move to the built new city, a large number of Centaurs appeared on the eastern lakeside of Bloodhoof Village. The number was no less than three thousand, and it seemed to be increasing.

"Where did those beasts gather such a large number of people?" The breath exhaled from Chaotian's nostrils showed Tauren Warchief's anxiety. There were too many Centaurs, and at this time they were preparing to move.

"No matter what, we have to defeat them, right?" Zul'ra is not surprised by Centaur's attack. You know, Taurens live in After Thunder Bluff arrives, it will be difficult for the Centaurs to bully these old friends. Now they naturally have to go to a farewell ceremony, and the Taurens don't want to live in their new home safely without experiencing monster siege.

"Yes, that's right, but we don't have any advantage at the moment. We have fought with those guys for hundreds of years. Those guys are extremely cunning, very strong, and good at running. Even if our numbers far exceed them, it is difficult to win." Cairne Bloodhoof had a headache, but before Zul'ra could speak, he straightened up his expression and thought.

"But it's like what you said, Zul'ra, my friend, no matter what, we have to find a way to defeat them. We need to think of some ways. Let me take a look at the current situation. My people are now scattered all over the place..."

Thank you Tian∽Hen and Xiangxiang Rice for the reward, and thank you for your support.
