Mottled Long Boars were entirely wild creatures with a fierce sense of territory. They would attack without hesitation if any person or animal dared trespass within their domain.
Compared with the head-on charges of Mottled Boars, the treacherous venomous scorpions that often hid in cracks between rocks were even more frightening. If you carelessly sat down on the ground when you were tired and thirsty, one might easily give you a vicious sting. The sensation could leave you in such agony that you wished you were dead for days afterward.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk's target this time was a cave in the northern part of the Valley of Trials. In the original course of history, it had become the Razorwind Gathering after the orcs arrived. The Razorwind Orcs would summon quite a few imps there, but a group of quilboar occupied it now.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk and Sylvanas had scouted the area around the cave. The quilboar tribe occupying it was not large, merely a small tribe.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk had a reason for choosing this cave. He remembered that, in the game, it had a water source. The cave ran deep, with a mountain spring inside that produced a considerable flow. It even formed a small waterfall as it coursed through the spacious cavern.
Unfortunately, the spring water flowed all the way down to the cave's lowest level before draining away through an underground watercourse.
Yu Lin Bloodhawk had wondered whether the Valley of Trials would still look as it did today if that stream flowed into it. With enough water, might the valley flourish with life and greenery just like the Echo Isles?
All the time Yu Lin Bloodhawk had spent scouting had not been wasted. This was not actually the only water source in the Valley of Trials,
