Tauren has always paid close attention to the movements of Quilboar. After all, Quilboar's home base is a little closer to the exit of Mulgore. Let Quilboar rush into Mulgore, and Tauren, who finally got rid of the threat of Centaur and settled down, will have to suffer again.

The threat from Quilboar is not great, but these descendants of Agamaggan have a very weird custom, which is to plant thorn vines derived from Razorfen Downs and Razorfen around their settlements.

This weird vine will inhibit the growth of other organisms after being planted, which is why the Barrens becomes as desolate as it is now. If Quilboar is allowed to enter Mulgore, then Tauren's home may become exactly the same as the Barrens.

Fortunately, the vines planted by Quilboar did not spare the life of the earth like Theradras, otherwise the Barrens's situation would have been even worse.

"Why is this happening?" Ursoc was a little dazed after listening to what Tauren said. Logically speaking, Quilboar are all descendants of Agamaggan and should be close to nature. Why did it become like this?

"I have to go find someone to discuss this matter." Ursoc returned to Aaron and the others full of questions and told Aaron about the matter, "Aaron, why do you think Quilboar became like this?"

"Why don't you go find Agamaggan and ask?"

"Agamaggan..." Unexpectedly, Ursoc heard Aaron say this and sighed, "I haven't seen Agamaggan for a long time. It's not just me, but several other old guys staying in Emerald Dream haven't seen that old wild boar for a long time. I don't know if he is hiding from us or went to sleep in that corner."

"This..." Aaron thought for a while. It seemed that Agamaggan had no sense of existence in the game. At least until the version before Aaron traveled through time, this Wild God had never appeared in any scene and basically could only serve as a background board. "Is there something wrong?"

"You ask me, I don't know either." Ursoc feels that something is not right. Shouldn't he be the one who comes to ask questions? Why did he become Aaron and asked himself?

Seeing that Agamaggan couldn't get an answer to his question for a while, Ursoc turned to talk about another thing. "By the way, Taurens told me that Quilboar has been very quiet recently, which is very different from usual times."

Because of his size, Tauren is not good at things like reconnaissance. He can only observe from a distance and cannot get close to investigate the specific situation. This also makes Tauren feel a little uneasy. They can only prepare as if Quilboar is preparing a large-scale attack. This passive feeling makes the atmosphere in the entire camp a little tense.

"Just in time, let's go investigate for them." Aaron guessed that Xavius should have already taken action against Quilboar, but Xavius probably didn't want to take action against Tauren. As for the specific purpose, apart from asking Xavius himself, he could only wait for the other party to take action first.

"Further south is Quilboar's territory." Tauren knew the purpose of the group and sent them outside the camp. However, they did not dare to go too deep into Quilboar's territory. Although Quilboar's single combat power was not as good as Tauren's, Tauren's slow movement speed was very problematic.

However, after Aaron and the others said goodbye to Tauren, they didn't meet any Quilboar along the way. Even when they arrived at the entrance of Razorfen, they didn't even see a single Quilboar.

"Why do I feel so empty here?" Aaron stood at the entrance of Razorfen and felt that something was wrong. Although the situation inside could not be detected through the overlapping thorns and vines, it came from The power of Emerald Dream still makes Aaron feel something in his heart. This area covered by thorns is probably empty. At least the tens of thousands of Quilboar mentioned by Tauren are absolutely impossible to be in it.

"He has indeed left." Vereesa pointed at the traces on the ground. The traces left by Quilboar were actually very obvious, but Aaron didn't pay attention to the ground at all. He didn't notice it until Vereesa reminded him.

"Where could they go?" Aaron couldn't figure out where Quilboar went after leaving. They came from the north and they definitely didn't see Quilboar along the way. Could it be that these guys went to Thousand Needles in the south? But what is there that is worth using so many people?

"Judging from the traces, it went east." Although the traces on the ground are very obvious, they have become messy because of tens of thousands of Quilboar stepping on them. Even a professional ranger like Vereesa needs to distinguish them carefully to find the accurate direction.

Following this messy trail, Vereesa took Aaron and Ursoc all the way east and then turned north. From this direction, Quilboar's army finally went to the north, but they didn't take the main road, so Aaron and the others couldn't see it.

"There seems to be something up there?" Ursoc, who was walking at the back, suddenly stretched out his paw and pointed to the sky. Vereesa had been concentrating on distinguishing the traces. On the contrary, Ursoc, who had been idle and bored, was the first to notice the anomaly in the sky.

"What's there? Is it Lightning?" Aaron is actually very boring, but he doesn't like to look up at the sky like Ursoc, because Desolace is really desolate. The reason is that the flying eagle Lightning often flies far away after chasing some distant beast. Aaron's first reaction is that Lightning flew back after getting tired of playing, but when he looked up, he found that the coat color was wrong.

"Are you going to treat us as prey?" Ursoc said with a smile. There are not many people on this planet who dare to regard us as prey.

However, the eagle in the sky did not pounce down. Instead, it kept circling around the crowd and cried anxiously. It did not look like it was hunting, but neither Aaron nor Ursoc understood what the eagle meant.

"Wait a minute, where does this eagle seem to be taking us?" Vereesa, whose attention was attracted by the eagle's cry, relied on his own experience in domesticating Lightning to see that the eagle's actions in the sky seemed to have another purpose.

After realizing that the people on the ground understood their actions, the eagle in the sky cried out and flew forward. It seemed to be in the same direction as Quilboar, so Aaron and the others didn't have to hesitate and just followed up to take a look.

Finally, the eagle in the sky brought Aaron and the others to a bear. Next to the bear was a porcupine. When they noticed Aaron's appearance, the two beasts showed wary expressions. It was not until the eagle in the sky made a "submit" sound that the brown bear and the porcupine slightly reduced their hostility.

Aaron on the other side looked at the group and suddenly remembered a certain Orcs who liked to dress up as Batman: "Are you Rexxar's animal companions?"
