Karen traveled for two days, but I felt that the scenery had not changed much. I didn't see any greenery at all. It seemed that we were still far away from the tropical rainforest-like place Ashenvale.
The Barrens is a desolate place, and no one from Horde has come to develop it. There are no roads at all, and it is very difficult to walk all the way. And because there are no mounts, Karen travels a bit slowly, and is often harassed by wild beasts.
This is a prairie, with yellow bushes everywhere. Many wild beasts hide in the bushes and attack passing creatures. There are lynxes, lions, hyenas, etc. With their camouflaged skin, they are difficult to detect when hiding in the bushes.
If it weren't for the presence of Drew, Karen would have suffered along the way. With Drew scanning all the way, Karen could avoid or kill these beasts in time. After killing them, a bunch of animals would come over soon, which was very troublesome. Later, Karen always walked around the road, and the distance he could cover in a day was limited.
On this day, Karen met a race, Quilboar. Quilboar is an intelligent race, humanoid creatures. They actually look like wild boars, but they walk upright and have clothes to wear.
Quilboar has his own demigod of faith - the wild boar demigod Agamaggan. However, Karen is not worried. This demigod died in a battle with the Burning Legion ten thousand years ago and there is no threat at present.
After Agamaggan died, the status of the Quilboar race plummeted. They themselves were not very intelligent, their brains were not working well, and they lost their protective umbrella. Now the entire race has degenerated to the point where it is almost like a beast.
But don't underestimate this race. The professions of this race in the game are very comprehensive. There are Warrior, hunters, thieves, and the key is that there are also legal professions and more than one. There are mages, earthbinders of the natural system, and Warlock of the shadow system. For such a beast-based race, and so versatile, it can only be said that the previous foundation is good.
The Quilboar group that Karen encountered currently lives in a thorn bush at the foot of a high mountain. Quilboar has thick skin and is not afraid of thorns. It can effectively reduce harassment and harm from other animals and protect the weaker members of its own group. Professionals in the group are responsible for searching for food. What Karen encountered was the Quilboar hunter who came out to hunt.
Karen was hiding in the bushes and observing this Quilboar. This Quilboar was a hunter with about the strength of a junior professional, and he was carrying a baby. The baby was a wild boar, a close relative of Quilboar, and they looked exactly like the same model.
It's just that one is wearing clothes and walking upright, and the other is walking naked and lying on his stomach. If Quilboar took off his clothes and lay down, Karen would probably have a hard time distinguishing which one is the owner and which one is the pet.
I saw this Quilboar humming to the wild boar. The wild boar nodded and suddenly rushed towards the zebra in the distance. Wild boars usually Charge, Karen knows why Quilboar likes to raise wild boars as babies. Close relatives can understand each other and communicate easily.
The wild boar Charge collided with the zebra, which had no time to escape. It immediately knocked the zebra unconscious. Quilboar took out the simple bow and arrow carried on his back and shot at the prey.
Quilboar's weapons are too crude and cannot cause fatal damage to the zebra. After the zebra woke up, he kicked the wild boar that was surrounding him away with a back kick, and then tried to escape. Quilboar took out another item, which was a rope with stones tied at both ends. He threw it casually, and the rope flew towards the zebra and tied the zebra's feet. The zebra immediately staggered and fell to the ground.
The zebra struggled to get up, but the little wild boar immediately surrounded it. Its rough skin and fleshy back kick did not cause any damage to it. Quilboar said something angrily and threw the bow and arrow in his hand on the ground. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the weapon. Then he stepped forward, took out a stone knife and killed the zebra. Then he and the wild boar dragged the prey home.
The clan system adopted by Quilboar means that all property is jointly owned by the clan, and the prey that is hunted is also owned by the group. After the Quilboar hunter dragged the prey back, the guard Quilboar Warrior said something to him, and then helped him carry the prey to the food warehouse shared by the clan.
Karen was a little curious about Quilboar's legal profession. He looked from a distance to see if he could see the legal profession Quilboar. Quilboar's home had no walls or fences, and relied on naturally growing thorns as effective protection. There were some Quilboar scattered around. Warrior is guarding the vacancy. To be honest, Quilboar is a very good race of Shield Warrior. It is rough-skinned and fleshy, and its body is not strong but it is strong. But as a hunter and thief, it is a bit weak. After all, it has short hands, short legs, and a round body. It can't compete with agility.
After observing for a while, Karen discovered the legal profession of Quilboar. Most Quilboar are wearing animal skins or armor. Karen discovered a Quilboar wearing linen., everyone is in awe of him. This Quilboar is either a clan leader or a legal profession. Generally, legal professions have higher intelligence and are suitable for leading the clan, so generally legal professions also serve as the wise men or patriarchs of the clan and lead the clan.
This Quilboar commands some Quilboar Warrior, set up the firewood, took out the food from the warehouse where the food was stored, and placed it on the firewood pile. Then he murmured and chanted, and the fire elements in his hands gathered into fireballs. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the fireball flew towards the firewood pile, and ignited the firewood pile in the eyes of everyone in awe. A group of Quilboar jumped and danced around the fire.
This is the third Quilboar clan that Karen has passed by. Almost every Quilboar clan has a legal profession as the leader, and each legal profession is not the same profession. You say this is stupid Quilboar Why is the productivity rate of legal professionals so high? Although every legal professional knows one or two tricks. But knowing how to do it shows that he has legal qualifications, but his brain is not very good and he can only remember one or two magic tricks. Karen can only lament that this race is truly unique.
Karen also wanted to deal with this race at the beginning. After all, there are so many legal professionals. Maybe some of them have advanced cultivation and have a way to send themselves back. But these Quilboar have simple wisdom and Karen as soon as they meet. regarded it as food and had no intention of communicating at all. As a result, Karen had to kill a few Quilboar. Originally, he was worried that groups of Quilboar would come after him. But nothing happened.
Another advantage of Quilboar is that it can produce children. There are Quilboar everywhere in this the Barrens. It is normal to have a few Quilboar. There are always Quilboar. Those who come out to look for food are killed by prey. Quilboar is also a kind of food for some predators. Therefore, there are often Quilboar that come out and never go back. If a few Quilboar disappear, the group is not interested.
Regarding the Quilboar group, Karen had given up. So he ignored the Quilboar on the road and headed north. When he encountered Quilboar, he would avoid it at a distance. If he couldn't avoid it, he would kill him. Anyway, it would be fine.
