The dim light from an unknown source inside Maraudon does not change between day and night, and remains dim no matter what time it is. This makes it impossible for the three people operating in the cave to estimate the time.
In order to avoid wasting energy, Vereesa asked everyone to take a break every once in a while. After clearing away a batch of stinking ooze monsters, the three of them settled down in a corner. After simply eating some dry food they had brought with them, they began to take turns to rest.
At this time,
When it was Aaron's turn to be on guard, he noticed an orange-brown smoke with the smell of rotten wood filling the surroundings. After realizing that something was wrong, Aaron immediately woke up the two people who were resting. Vereesa stretched and woke up and asked what happened, but something was wrong with Cavindra over there.
Aaron patted Cavindra on the shoulder. Dryad, who was sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, bared his teeth at Aaron, clapped his hands over at random, and muttered, "Don't come close to me, you monsters."
Needless to say, Cavindra had another nightmare, and it was definitely related to the smoke. Fortunately, Cavindra didn't sleep deeply, and was finally woken up by Aaron, but he was still a little confused about the situation.
Over there Vereesa has noticed the changes in the surrounding environment and immediately became alert. This kind of strange
As the smoke gradually spread towards this side, many ooze monsters also rushed over as if being chased by something. After the group of ooze monsters escaped, the culprit who caused them to escape revealed his true appearance: a Water Elemental with a gray-green body.
"I remember Theradras is Earth Elemental, why did a Water Elemental appear?" Aaron looked at the huge two-meter-high Water Elemental behind the ooze monster and was a little surprised.
After Cavindra saw the giant Water Elemental, his face became a little ugly. He pointed at the Water Elemental that was slowly walking over and said, "This is Noxxion, made by a Satyr named Vyletongue. This guy usually keeps wandering around in the cave, spreading the poisonous water on his body."
"This guy is poisonous, so be careful." Aaron motioned to Vereesa to test it out first, but then he realized another thing. "You said there is another Satyr here?"
"Yes, don't you know, my brothers and sisters were basically corrupted by that Satyr," Cavindra explained while casting spells to control several vines to hinder Noxxion's actions, "Vyletongue came a while before us, and somehow reached a cooperation with Theradras. It was that abominable Satyr who created this smoke, causing all my brothers and sisters to become corrupted."
Vereesa took this opportunity to shoot several arrows at Noxxion. However, perhaps because the arrows were too sharp, they actually passed through Water Elemental's body, failing to cause too serious damage to the opponent.
"Aaron, I miss Tar Trap a little. It will definitely be useful to deal with this kind of guy." Vereesa complained while casting a spell to ignite his own arrows. This is High Elf Ranger's unique combat method is to add the power of Arcane to arrows to target various enemies. In the past, this move was used to deal with Murloc, but now it can be used to deal with Water Elemental.
The arrow, burning with scorching flames and entwined with the power of thunder and lightning, hit Water Elemental's abdomen. Although the arrow penetrated again, the additional flames and lightning on the arrow still caused considerable damage.
At the same time, Vereesa also threw a Freezing Trap in front of Noxxion. Although with Noxxion's size, this trap shouldn't be able to freeze it for a long time, but it would be nice to hinder it for a while.
Aaron also took this opportunity to wave Frostmourne in preparation for battle. However, Noxxion did not come close. Instead, he shot a ball of gray-green water from his body. He already knew this Water Elemental The poisonous Aaron didn't want to directly receive the opponent's attack. Frostmourne moved out horizontally in his hands and slapped the ball of water aside. When it landed, the ball of water had frozen into a ball of ice.
Seeing this, Aaron showed a provocative smile to Noxxion. Perhaps Aaron's expression really didn't deserve a beating. Noxxion really quickened his pace and rushed over. As a result, he stepped on the Freezing Trap thrown by Vereesa first, and his lower body was covered with a layer of frost.
Aaron took the opportunity to hand out Frostmourne, stabbed it into Water Elemental's body, stirred it a few times, and the Water Elemental was directly frozen into a lump of ice.
After easily solving this Water Elemental named Noxxion, Aaron found two strange things in the translucent body of this element.
One of them is an irregularly shaped light green gem. Cavindra introduced that this gem should be the core of Noxxion. Its creator could not create Noxxion out of nothing, so he used the power core obtained from Water Elemental as the raw material.
According to experiments, this gem has a certain degree of healing ability, especially it has a good effect on toxins and the like.
It's just that Aaron possesses Holy Light and the power of nature, so he has no need for this thing, so he gave it to Vereesa. After leaving Maraudon, it would be quite good to find a craftsman to make a piece of jewelry.
The other piece didn't look like Noxxion's creation. Instead, it looked like half a staff. Cavindra looked at it for a long time before saying with uncertainty, "This seems to be the staff my brother used before."
The brother Cavindra mentioned was the organizer of their operation, Celebras. This half of the staff came from the staff that Celebras usually used. Somehow, this half of the staff fell into the hands of Noxxion.
After the death of Noxxion, the originally filled smoke gradually dissipated. After being disturbed like this, the three of them had no intention of continuing to rest, so they continued to move towards Maraudon. After that, they encountered many strange creatures, and also encountered some Dryad - either the sisters of Cavindra or the daughters of Celebras.
These Dryad have completely fallen into a state of madness, and they fight whenever they meet. Fortunately, Xal'atath can help these Dryad regain their consciousness, but the impact on Dryad is a bit serious, and they cannot help after they regain consciousness. Aaron and the others provided too much help. In order to prevent Dryad, who finally woke up, from being corrupted again, Aaron simply asked them to wait at the place where they met Cavindra before. There should be no Centaur to disturb them for a while.
In addition to these Dryad, Aaron and the others also encountered a small number of Satyr. These Night Elf, which were distorted by Fel, showed deep hostility and caused a lot of trouble to Aaron and the others. Of course, the real trouble was still the Satyr lord - Vyletongue.
