Beneath a lush, towering tree, a Nightsaber tore apart the prey beneath its claws, slowly swallowing its flesh and blood.

Huang Long watched the Nightsaber before him. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly lowered his head and hid in the grass.

"First squad, get ready!" Huang Long signaled with his hand.

"Fire!" Huang Long changed his gesture, and ten archers immediately rose to their feet, drawing their longbows and aiming their arrowheads at the Nightsaber tearing into its meal.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows tore through the air.

The Nightsaber noticed the strange creatures before it and let out an angry roar. Just as it was about to pounce, arrows came shooting toward it.

The Nightsaber hurriedly dodged, glaring furiously at the surrounding elves.

"Second squad, fire!" Huang Long roared again. He no longer bothered hiding. He directly led Misha the Great Gray Bear and the two Troll Berserkers who had already reached Level 5 in charging forward. With the continuous shots from a Night Elf archer, the Level 6 Nightsaber finally met its end.

Buzz!

Golden light flashed across Huang Long's body. At last, after his ceaseless slaughter, he had finally leveled up.

"Congratulations, host. Randomly drawing a skill. Randomly drawing an item..."

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the skill—Death Coil."

Death Coil: The Death Knight releases a Black Arrow imbued with the power of death from his hand, dealing tremendous damage to the Death Knight's enemies or healing his undead allies.

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the item—Crown of the Death Lord."

Crown of the Death Lord: When used, it can fire Pain Arrows to damage enemies. It also increases health and mana. The Death Lord was once a glorious Paladin. After abandoning the light for darkness, he cruelly murdered his own family.

What a pity! It was Death Coil, the Death Knight's Death Coil. Though it was said to be an incredibly overpowered Undead skill, its power wasn't the strongest, and its healing effect only worked on the Undead. What a shame!

Huang Long grumbled inwardly. Still, the Crown of the Death Lord is pretty good. It has increased my mana by nearly thirty percent, and it can fire Black Arrows. Used together with Death Coil, its power will rise considerably!

Huang Long checked his attributes.

Huang Long Weapons Owned Titan's Stone Necklace: When used, increases the hero's health and mana. Ancestor Staff: Summons two Troll Berserkers to fight for you. It also increases the attack and movement speed of the hero and nearby units. Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker: Attacks enemies with the power of lightning, dealing Nature damage. Each lightning jump lowers the target's Nature resistance. Engulfs them in a hurricane, reducing their attack speed. Main Base: Level 1 Tree of Life Secondary Base: None Buildings Owned: Ancient of War 1, Moon Well 0, Altar of Elders 1 Units Owned: Elves 54 Archers: Archer Captain Ina, Level 5 Archer Gold: 5000. Instantly kill a unit and convert it into gold. Cannot be used on heroes or monsters above Level 5. Frost Nova: Creates an explosion of frost at the target location, damaging all nearby enemies and reducing their movement speed and attack rate. Teleport: Teleport to another location. Death Coil: The Death Knight releases a Black Arrow imbued with the power of death from his hand, dealing tremendous damage to the Death Knight's enemies or healing his undead allies.

Now, saying that Huang Long's strength had soared would not be an exaggeration. He could already easily kill Level 6 magical beasts. Although Level 7 beasts were still somewhat dangerous, they were no longer so difficult to deal with. At the very least, he could use his own forces to intimidate them and keep them from immediately attacking him.

There was still some time before the altar was completed...

"The altar has been completed!" The voice of the Warcraft Elf System rang in Huang Long's ears.

Huang Long was overjoyed.

"Since this is the first time the host's altar has summoned a hero, the host may immediately summon a great hero without consuming any gold or resources. Please quickly choose the hero to be summoned!"

"Warning! The Tree of Life's powerful life aura has attracted the covetous gaze of the Level 7 magical beast of Spirit Island, the Tong Ape. The Tong Ape is leading its subordinates to seize the Tree of Life!"

"Warning! The Tree of Life's powerful life aura has attracted the covetous gaze of the Level 7 magical beast of Spirit Island, the Purple Savage Elephant. The Purple Savage Elephant is leading its subordinates to seize the Tree of Life!"

"Warning! The Tree of Life's powerful life aura has attracted the covetous gaze of the Level 7 magical beast of Spirit Island, the Great Golden Roc. The Great Golden Roc is leading its subordinates to seize the Tree of Life!"

All three Level 7 magical beasts had set out. One could imagine just how great the Tree of Life's allure was.

This was only a Level 1 Tree of Life, yet it had already attracted so many Level 7 magical beasts. If it were upgraded into a Level 9 Tree of Eternity, what then?

Huang Long had no time to think further and immediately teleported back to the main base.

Looking at the towering, majestic Altar of Elders, which radiated an ancient yet noble aura, Huang Long's heart trembled. This was the most perfect Altar of Elders in his mind, the highest pillar of the Night Elf faction and the spiritual faith of countless Night Elves.

"Fine, summon the hero—Demon Hunter Yudian!" Huang Long shouted softly, naming the hero he wished to summon.

Demon Hunters were dark warriors rejected by Night Elf society. Long ago, they made a pact with dark powers, vowing to fight the forces of chaos to the end with their terrifying strength. They blinded themselves, gaining the ability to swiftly detect demons. They wielded weapons filled with powerful magic and used them to hunt demons. Though Demon Hunters could be considered the strongest warriors among the Night Elves, their selfless sacrifices were not understood by their own people.

May a century of hardship be bound for but a single promise, guarding the screams of hell. Burn, roar, Yudian.

As Huang Long's voice fell, brilliant light erupted from the Altar of Elders.

A lean figure slowly emerged. His powerful physique and knotted muscles, filled with both beauty and sinister energy, coiled over his body. Two elf horns symbolizing the highest nobility among the Night Elves were set into his forehead. A long strip of black cloth embroidered with gold tightly covered his eyes, while the Warglaives of Azzinoth hung at his waist—weapons embedded with demon souls.

This man was Yudian, the most tragic and devoted hero in Warcraft.

Now, he had finally been given another life.
