Jiang Jie gestured for him to enter, and Illidan snorted and walked in front.
He was Demon Hunter, with the keenest senses for demons. Having arrived here, he could already pinpoint the location of Tichondrius and the Skull of Gul'dan.
" Tichondrius!" Illidan pointed southwest. "He's in the woods ten kilometers away!"
Although Illidan had never seen Tichondrius, he could sense the intensity of demonic energy. He sensed an evil energy fluctuation in that direction that was no weaker than his own, and possibly even stronger. And in this Illidan, the only demon more powerful than Illidan was probably Tichondrius.
Tichondrius isn't in the den?
Jiang Jie taken aback.
However, he quickly figured it out.
Although the beast's den was well hidden, it was located deep underground.
If Skull of Gul'dan is placed in the beast's den, the energy it emits will take an unknown amount of time to seep into the ground and pollute the forest. Placing it directly somewhere in the forest is the best course of action.
Of course, there are also very powerful beings guarding the lair. Illidan sensed another Legendary- level demon, but he didn't know which one it was.
" Tichondrius and his other Dreadlord are pawns used by Kil'jaeden to monitor the Lich King. Neither the Lich King nor Arthas wants to be controlled by the Burning Legion forever, so they want to eliminate several leaders of the Burning Legion Burning Legion and completely break free from it. However, they don't want to break with the Burning Legion so soon, which is why they want to use you."
Jiang Jie dashed twenty meters away like lightning, slaying a fleeing demon with a single sword strike. He waited until Illidan and Old Chen caught up before continuing, " Kil'jaeden hasn't descended. Archimonde's target is the World Tree, Night Elf must eliminate him at all costs. Below them are Mannoroth and Tichondrius. Mannoroth has already been killed by me, the High Elf, and the Orcs. The only one who can threaten the Lich King is Tichondrius."
"You killed Mannoroth?" Illidan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
He fought Mannoroth during the War of the Ancients. Back then, he only managed to hold his own against Mannoroth thanks to the power of the Well of Eternity. In reality, although he is much stronger now than he was ten thousand years ago, he still lacks the confidence to defeat Mannoroth, or perhaps it's impossible for him to defeat Mannoroth...
Jiang Jie was well aware of this as well.
After all, even with the Skull of Gul'dan and his Metamorphosis, Illidan still expended a great deal of effort to defeat Magtheridon, who was even weaker than Mannoroth...
Although many believe that Mannoroth is no ordinary Pit Lord, and that his strength is not much weaker than Mannoroth's...
"It's not just me; there are two High-tier Legendary and an orc Orcs Shaman no weaker than an ordinary Legendary," Jiang Jie explained, then said, "In short, Arthas wants to use you, and you will do as he wishes, because the Skull of Gul'dan has indeed corrupted this forest, and you do indeed want to kill Tichondrius."
"I have been imprisoned for ten thousand years, but this is still my territory. Ten thousand years ago, I was imprisoned to defend this land, and now I will not allow anyone to Devastation it!" Illidan swung his hand and threw the Warglaives of Azzinoth. The green double-edged scimitar flew fifty meters away, killing seven demons, before returning to his hand. The demons' green, corrosive blood dripped from the tip of the blade, and some evil energy and soul energy were absorbed by the scimitar.
This effect is the same as the divine sword Strom'kar, the same as Frostmourne, and the same as many other divine weapons!
If Illidan weren't still alive and wouldn't have given his weapon to the players, perhaps ten years later in the game, the Warglaives of Azzinoth would have become one of the Demon Hunter's artifacts!
"There are too many demons!" Illidan frowned.
In just half an hour, he had killed more than fifty demons, but more were still pouring in. They had now been discovered.
Tichondrius is clearly already gathering demons. Tichondrius won't show himself; Dreadlord are all about plotting behind the scenes, and their direct combat capabilities are far inferior to those of the Pit Lord.
"Then let's summon the Worgen!" Jiang Jie smiled, then looked at the priestess Velinde, who had been following behind him, too nervous to utter a word: "Right here, summon the Worgen!"
"Here? Hmm, it seems there are indeed the most demons here." Velinde quickly raised the Scythe of Elune, began to channel energy, weaken the spacetime barrier, and summon Worgen.
As long as no one tries to take away her Scythe of Elune, she's still a very gentle little cat. But if anyone tries to take the Scythe of Elune, she'll immediately bristle and turn into a little tiger!
This was a gift from the Moon Goddess, and in her heart, it was even more important than her own life!
This is like the Jade Emperor or Taishang Laojun bestowing a magical artifact upon a junior Daoist priest—it's an unparalleled honor!
"Huh? This is an artifact? I can feel the power of the Moon Goddess and the power of the Druid on it! That's... the power of the Goldrinn the Wolf Demigod? I saw him with my own eyes before; he's dead and has returned to the Emerald Dream." Illidan frowned.
When he first began learning the ways of the Druid from Cenarius, Cenarius took them to see several Wild God, including the Goldrinn, in order to help them master Animal Form.
Illidan vividly remembered that pure, untamed, and uncontrollable savage power!
He remembered it clearly: his highly talented older brother, who was young at the time but as composed as an old man, mastered the Wolf Form in a very short time. However, he was unable to control that extremely wild power and lost his mind to attack Cenarius, but was stopped by Cenarius.
The Wolf Form is so terrifying, how could such a divine artifact possibly be allowed to exist?
Illidan was unaware of this artifact because Illidan had already been imprisoned when the Worgen first appeared.
Jiang Jie had no choice but to recount the past to Illidan while fending off the demons' attacks.
"Hmph! Malfurion, he's always so self-righteous... He thinks Druid magic is gentler than Arcane Magic and won't attract the attention of demons! But look what? Worgen are a menace! The power of the Wild Gods isn't so easy to wield! The Wolf Form isn't the only one..." Illidan sneered, moving like a shadow, and in an instant, several demons had fallen.
Yes, the problem isn't just with the Druid of the Scythe, but also with the Druids of the Fang in Wailing Caverns...
Power itself is neither good nor evil; the problem lies with the user!
The power of the Scythe of Elune penetrated directly into a certain dimension of Azeroth and the Emerald Dream. Even without Velinde, the Scythe of Elune was slowly summoning Worgen, but with Velinde's help, the summoning speed increased significantly.
In less than ten minutes, Velinde summoned a hundred Worgen!
These newly summoned Worgen, just awakened from their eternal slumber in the Emerald Dream, have not yet regained their senses and are still obeying Velinde's orders, launching attacks on the surrounding demons.
The Worgen ' strength should not be underestimated; they quickly repelled the demons' attack.
As Velinde summoned more and more Worgen, Jiang Jie and his team were no longer under any pressure.
"Very good. Velinde, you've summoned over five hundred Worgen, haven't you?" Jiang Jie smiled.
"Mm." Velinde nodded.
Worgen are not endless.
In that era, although Druid had been prevalent for seven hundred years, the number of Druid was not as large as one might imagine, and the number of Druid who had learned Wolf Form was only one-tenth of all Druid.
Later, the Worgen ravaged the land, and even with the spread of the Worgen Curse, until they were banished and sealed in the Emerald Dream, Worgen numbers never exceeded three thousand—this wasn't Jiang Jie's guess, but what Velinde told him. Through the Scythe of Elune, Velinde could clearly sense the exact number of Worgen.
Arugal has already summoned some, and over the past ten thousand years, there have probably been more than one person who has summoned a small number of Worgen on more than one occasion. Including those summoned by Velinde, the number of Worgen sealed in the Emerald Dream is actually not that many anymore.
"Let's save some! Don't actually summon them all. If the demons are destroyed, the Worgen will run rampant and become uncontrollable!" Jiang Jie smiled, then said, "With these Worgen, we can keep the demons at bay! And we should go face Tichondrius!"
