Half an hour later.
Jiang Jie's apprentices, along with the priestesses and sentinels, gathered together. Velinde temporarily appointed a priestess to lead the remaining Night Elf forces, and Jiang Jie explained his plan to his apprentices.
" Darion, you'll be in command while I'm gone. Be careful and avoid battle as much as possible. Once you reach Mount Hyjal, stay with the Night Elf... No, go find Jaina. She should have already taken people to Mount Hyjal to build outposts and defenses." Jiang Jie thought for a moment, then looked at the three Pandaren: " The Battle of Mount Hyjal might be dangerous... Are you sure you want to go?"
"Of course! The mere thought of battle fills me with fervor!" Ji patted his chest and exclaimed, "Why do the flames of war ignite? Why do autumn leaves fall? Our nature cannot be taken away, yet we too have our own doubts. For whom do we clench our fists in anger? To protect our country, to punish the wicked, to follow the natural way, and to eliminate inner demons. War never ends, and doubt never ceases; what is the purpose of our battles!"
Jiang Jie rubbed his temples.
This was something he said casually when he was on Wandering Isle, and he never expected that Ji would remember it.
That's right, this statement fits the style of the Huojin quite well, and yet another Pandaren has been inspired.
"Master Jiang, Master Shang Xi told us that the Pandaren's Chi martial arts were created to fight against evil. You also told us about Pandaria, where the Pandaren have always been fighting against evil. We are of the same race as them and we are not afraid of any enemy. The Burning Legion is not only the enemy of humans and Night Elf, but also the enemy of the Pandaren." Aysa Yunge clasped her hands together, her voice calm yet firm.
"Master, Mount Hyjal! It's so tall! So big! And that World Tree, is it really bigger than a city? As big as Shen-zin Su? No, bigger than Shen-zin Su? I have to go see it! And that Archimonde, is he really that scary? I want to go see it too! I want to kick his butt!" Li Li struck a classic Pandaren pose, the two jade bracelets on her cane jingling. "I'm not afraid!"
Jiang Jie smiled and said nothing more.
The Pandaren is truly remarkable; he loves this race and these young people.
"Alright, let's go." Jiang Jie snapped his fingers, and the Zhaoren the Onyx Cloud Serpent flew over and landed. Jiang Jie and the curious Velinde sat on it, along with the four little Elemental Spirits, and flew south.
Meanwhile, in Ashenvale Forest.
A Pandaren wearing a straw hat leaped and landed on the top branch of a hundred-meter-tall tree.
The branch was only as thick as a little finger, but the Pandaren stood steadily on it without even the leaves on the branch swaying. His balance and agility were several levels better than Aysa Cloud Song's!
A dark green bamboo cane leaned casually against his shoulder, with a gourd the size of a face tied to the top of it.
He took down his gourd, took a sip, smiled contentedly, then looked north to the towering world's highest mountain, before turning northwest to the long, narrow Felwood.
"That Night Elf said my precious niece was taken to Felwood by a guy named Nicholas? There are so many demons there, Li Li, you absolutely mustn't get into trouble, or Pao Stormstout will hate me for life! Okay, since we're going somewhere anyway, let's go to Felwood!"
Bloodvenom Falls.
Illidan walked through the dark forest, his brow furrowed.
An hour ago, a human Death Knight who called himself " Arthas " found him and told him that the Dreadlord Tichondrius had taken over the ancient lair where he was imprisoned, corrupted the land with an artifact called " Skull of Gul'dan," and that hundreds or thousands of demons were protecting him.
Then, he fought Arthas.
" Arthas? Not bad..." Illidan had to admit that although he hadn't used his full strength, the opponent's displayed power shocked him.
That was power almost equal to his!
Regardless of the opponent's combat skills or energy level,
Even their weapons are evenly matched. If they don't stop, they can keep fighting forever, and there will never be a result! Although that human has his own schemes, it's a good thing for me... Any scheme against the Night Elf ' enemies must be destroyed! Illidan ran back the way he came.
Although many demons blocked his way, he didn't care.
In the past two days, he has already killed hundreds of demons, so he doesn't mind killing even more demons in the time to come!
Illidan wasn't fast, because he wasn't in a hurry.
He marched forward, hunting down demons.
As the world's first Demon Hunter, his mission is to fight the Burning Legion and hunt demons. As he hunts more and more demons, he also absorbs their energy to grow stronger.
In a sense, Demon Hunter are demons too; their souls can even be resurrected in the Twisting Nether, at least Illidan could.
The Warglaives of Azzinoth in his hand was once the weapon of a Doomguard officer Azzinoth; it was neither too rare nor too bad.
But a weapon gains glory because of its user.
In countless hunts against demons, the Warglaives of Azzinoth absorbed demonic energy and grew stronger, now rivaling Frostmourne and becoming a true artifact.
Although Illidan's speed was slow due to constant fighting, he still arrived near the former sleeping beast's lair after half a day.
Accompanied by a dark green light, Illidan killed another demon, then raised his head, his gaze passing through the blindfold of the " Cursed Vision of Sargeras," through layers of dense foliage, and saw a strange creature hovering in the sky, with a human, a Night Elf, and several elemental beings whose energy levels were barely acceptable.
He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then remembered.
That strange creature, resembling a long snake, is a friend of the Pandaren: the Cloud Serpent, a mount far less powerful than the Dragon Aspects, but perfectly suited to the Pandaren. It once helped the Pandaren defeat the Mogu army and become the rulers of Pandaria.
Before the War of the Ancients began, Pandaria was already shrouded in a mysterious mist. It seems that even the explosion of the Well of Eternity couldn't wipe them out. What an amazing bunch of creatures!
"Interesting. You've come looking for me?" Under Illidan's gaze, the Onyx Cloud Serpent slowly descended. Jiang Jie and Velinde jumped off Zhaoren's back, and Zhaoren immediately flew back into the sky.
The evil aura in this place was too strong; it didn't want to stay any longer and immediately soared into the clouds to conceal its presence.
Jiang Jie frowned as he looked at the Demon Hunter before him, sensing an evil energy fluctuation almost comparable to Tichondrius. If Illidan were his enemy, he would certainly have a headache.
Just as Jiang Jie was about to say something in greeting, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the south.
Even before him, Illidan raised an eyebrow, clearly somewhat surprised.
The next moment, Jiang Jie saw a green whirlwind sweeping in.
It was a whirlwind formed by swirling green leaves, carrying more than three demons with a powerful wind, including a formidable Felguard.
That's not important.
Importantly, within this whirlwind, a bamboo staff was swung at an extremely fast speed, and then the three demons were seen screaming as they were sent flying backward, already dead when they landed.
The whirlwind disappeared, and a chubby Pandaren appeared in front of Jiang Jie.
The Pandaren looked up, and hidden beneath its straw hat were a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes.
A voice echoed through the dark forest:
"Human, did you take Li Li away?"...
