In order to reach the destination as soon as possible, Malfurion transformed into a Storm Crow - as the mentor of all Druid, Malfurion has mastered the transformation spells of each form skillfully.
Aaron summoned a griffon and followed Malfurion closely. Only Cenarius remained on the ground and moved. Although Wild God was Malfurion's teacher, he did not know Druid's transformation technique, but even so, Cenarion's speed was not too slow.
Aaron could see clearly from the air that Cenarion's four hooves were flying as if they were walking on flat ground, and when the king of the forest was on his way, even the forest seemed to be making way for him. Even though he was walking in a dense forest, Cenarion's speed did not slow down at all.
Of course, this is actually Aaron's illusion. It's not that Cenarion can't do it, but that if he does so, it will take a lot of effort. Cenarion just relied on the connection with the forest and Emerald Dream to find the most suitable route, so it seems to Aaron that it is not hindered at all.
Because the three people in the group were all extraordinary people, they started traveling without rest. After driving day and night for three days, Aaron finally saw the destination of the trip - Shaladrassil's reflection in Emerald Dream from a distance.
Emerald Dream retains the most original features of Azeroth, including the ancient Mother Tree--G'Hanir. This ancient tree with the longest history in Azeroth not only exists in Emerald Dream, but even projects its own influence into reality.
Nordrassil is grown from a fruit grown on G'Hanir. It is also because of the relationship between Nordrassil and G'Hanir that Fandral Staghelm planted several World Tree trees with the branches of Nordrassil and has a connection with Emerald Dream.
The history of Shaladrassil is before Nordrassil, and the connection with Emerald Dream is even more profound. It even has its own projection in Emerald Dream. What Aaron and their friends are going to on this trip is exactly the projection of Shaladrassil in Emerald Dream.
After three days of traveling, Aaron could already see the crown of Shaladrassil from a distance. The situation of World Tree was already very bad. The tree crown that should have been lush and lush had shown a trend of decline. A faint layer of black and red smoke clouds could even be seen above the tree crown gradually gathering and condensing.
Shaladrassil in reality has been completely distorted, and the projection in Emerald Dream has also been greatly affected. Although it has not been completely distorted, it is not far away from that moment.
Aaron looked at Shaladrassil and asked Malfurion flying beside him, "What will happen if this tree is also corrupted?"
The Storm Crow that Malfurion transformed into flew quite easily, and naturally had enough energy to answer Aaron's question, "If the tree in the dream was also corrupted, then this tree would become a help to Nightmare is the channel that communicates reality and dreams. When the time comes, not only will Nightmare be difficult to eradicate, but the monsters born in Nightmare will also enter reality without any hindrance. By then, it will probably be a horrific disaster."
"Turn it into a passage...?" Aaron nodded. He remembered that the entrance to Emerald Nightmare in the game was exactly under Shaladrassil in reality. It seemed that Xavius was going to achieve this in advance this time.
"It seems like you know something, Prophet." Malfurion noticed the change in Aaron's expression and joked.
"Well... I have seen some bad futures, some nightmare-like memories." Aaron's character of being a prophet seems to have become more and more popular, and even Malfurion knows it.
The two of them chatted without delay. They were getting closer and closer to Shaladrassil. From here, more details of the giant tree reaching the sky could be seen clearly. The lines formed by the power of Nightmare were spreading upward along several branches of Shaladrassil. Some branches near the bottom had completed the transformation. It seemed that the situation was worse than expected.
"We have to hurry up." Malfurion urged, and the already fast speed increased again, leaving Aaron and Cenarius behind in the blink of an eye. Aaron intends to speed up the griffon, but this mount is not a living creature after all. It does not mean that waving a whip can make the griffin explode to its potential and accelerate. This speed is the maximum speed, and it is impossible to increase it even a little bit.
"Fly, your teacher and I will hurry up." Aaron complained silently, venting his dissatisfaction at being left behind, but even so, he still had to go.
Just when Aaron felt that he would not be able to see Malfurion again until he reached his destination, Storm Crow transformed into Archdruid and flew back again, urging Aaron: "Get down quickly, there are enemies."
"What enemy?" Aaron just asked, when he heard a familiar roar, followed the sound, and saw a giant dragon with black scales growing all over its body flying over in pursuit of Malfurion.
"Dragon of Nightmare?" Aaron One look at the shape and color of the dragon and knew that it was a Green Dragonflight corrupted by Nightmare. It seemed that the battle ahead was indeed not good. Even Green Dragonflight had victims hatched by Nightmare.
The first thing that needs to be dealt with now is this Dragon of Nightmare. I just don't know what the name of this giant dragon is, but judging from the size and flying speed of this Green Dragonflight, I know it will definitely not be easy to deal with.
However, there is currently a Wild God, a Archdruid, and a Paladin who can possess such combat power in a short period of time. It is not difficult to deal with this Dragon of Nightmare, but before the war begins, it is better to land first.
Not to mention that Aaron's mount gryphon may disintegrate during the battle. Although Malfurion's raven form is very fast, its combat effectiveness is not very good. In this form, Archdruid can only summon hurricanes to attack the enemy.
"Mortals, you have no way to escape." Dragon of Nightmare had long noticed the existence of Malfurion and Aaron, but in his corrupted state, he was unable to recognize the identity of Malfurion. Otherwise, he would never have acted so relaxedly. He even sat back and watched the two of them fall to the ground with a playful attitude before starting to fight with them.
As soon as the fight started, Dragon of Nightmare realized something was wrong. These two mortals were very difficult to deal with. At this moment, he heard a low cry from behind, "Nythendra, look who I am!"
Hearing this voice, Dragon of Nightmare named Nythendra couldn't remember who the person was, but he instinctively had a premonition of danger, flapped his wings and wanted to leave. However, a thick vine had wrapped around Nythendra's hind legs at some point, making it impossible to run away.
