Old Chen didn't go far.
He had barely returned to the inn and found his bamboo staff, gourd, and wine barrel when the entire Southshore descended into chaos.
He quickly figured out what was going on and realized he couldn't stay in this place anymore.
With so many Undead, Southshore will surely fall, and there's nothing he can do alone.
If he were alone, it wouldn't matter; no amount of Undead could stop him. He could leave or stay as he pleased.
But there are also Ji Huozhang, Aysa Yunge, and Li Li.
He must ensure their safety.
So they gathered three Pandaren and prepared to leave.
"Uncle! You went to fight again, didn't you? Why didn't you call me? If you keep doing this, I'm going to find Master and I won't play with you anymore!" Li Li clung to Old Chen's arm and shook it, looking incredibly pitiful, like a pear blossom in spring rain.
However, anyone could see that this little girl actually had a smile in her eyes.
" Uncle Chen, what happened? I saw a lot of Undead. The allied forces are being slaughtered. We should do something!" Aysa, being relatively calm, asked quickly.
She glanced at Ji, but Ji swallowed his words and didn't dare to speak.
" Renault colluded with the Dreadlord, and I fought with Balnazzar. He escaped! Southshore is in chaos now. We're leaving now to find those little devils in Darion and head to Fenris Isles!" Old Chen, usually so jovial, was now very serious.
This was something he and Jiang Jie had agreed upon.
If something goes wrong and there's no way to salvage the situation, prioritize survival and head straight to the Fenris Isles. With Dalaran and Lake Lordamere as natural barriers, it should be the safest place in the entire Lordaeron, possibly even safer Lordaeron itself.
In fact, to this day, quite a few Kirin Tor mages still live on a certain island, and many Dalaran civilians seem to be planning to settle there.
Dalaran in ruins. Although reconstruction has begun, it will take at least two or three years to complete. The workload is enormous; it's like building a city!
Moreover, following Shi Rhonin's suggestion, building a better floating city than before would be extremely difficult.
"Not going to fight before you leave? Uncle! You kicked the Dreadlord's ass without even telling me! If you don't agree, I'll rip your hair off, kick your ass, and add water to your wine barrel! Hmm, foot bath water!" Li Li's eyes lit up.
This little girl is completely unaware of fear. She gets excited as soon as she hears that there Undead everywhere outside. The massive scene at Mount Hyjal didn't scare her, so this place is definitely not as dangerous as the battle at Mount Hyjal.
The distance between Arthas and Archimonde is as vast as the difference between a poor man and a rich, handsome man.
"I won't kick your butt, I'll only slap your face!" Old Chen retorted, then grabbed Li Li and called to Ji and Aysa, "Let's go!"
"Let me go! Let me go! I can walk by myself! I haven't packed my luggage yet! You're kidnapping a child! I'll have my master kick your ass! I'll make sure my master doesn't give you any wine!" Li Li thrashed about, struggling violently, but she couldn't escape Old Chen's grasp.
" Li Li, let me pack for you!" Ji Feng hurriedly stuffed all of Li Li's things into her backpack in a few quick movements, making a lot of noise as many things were broken or torn. "All done!"
Li Li was on the verge of tears, her eyes filled with grievance as she looked at Aysa: "Sister Aysa, Brother Ji bullied me..."
Aysa ignored her.
The four Pandaren quickly left the inn, only to find a chaotic battle raging everywhere.
Several zombies were devouring a corpse. A soldier chopped off a skull's head, only to be instantly pierced through the heart by a Ghoul. But the Ghoul didn't survive long either, soon being struck by a fireball.
It's a complete mess!
"Follow me!" Old Chen led the way, rushing towards the grove of trees to the west.
He wielded his bamboo staff with such skill that no Undead could get close, and the whirlwind he created blocked all enemies.
"Crane! Crane! Help me!" Li Li was finally thrown down by Old Chen.
With a whistle, her crane flew down from the sky and landed. Li Li rode on it, and the crane took off. " Zhaoren! Get down!" Old Chen shouted as well.
The Zhaoren the Onyx Cloud Serpent was still hovering in the clouds, scared away by the Frost Wyrm and Gargoyle.
It was too far away to hear Old Chen's shouts, but its eyesight was excellent. It saw the chaotic scene below, Old Chen and the others fighting the Undead, and Li Li was flying in the sky, was in danger and being attacked by several Gargoyle.
Although they were always bickering and fighting, it had a good relationship with these Pandaren. It believed that scolding was a sign of affection, so when it saw them in danger, it couldn't just ignore them. Therefore, it mustered up its courage, came out of the clouds, and landed.
After Old Chen and the others went up, they flew directly into the sky.
Old Chen waved his hand in the air, his Chi sending several Gargoyle flying, before heading towards the grove of trees to the west.
Li Li followed on a crane.
With Old Chen around, they wouldn't be afraid even if they encountered Frost Wyrm. As for ordinary Gargoyle, Aysa and Ji could handle them, and they weren't even afraid of Li Li. She wielded a bamboo staff quite skillfully, showing the demeanor of a little heroine.
Zhaoren didn't fly very high. Old Chen looked carefully but didn't see any members of the Fenris People's Army. It wasn't until he reached the edge of Southshore that he finally spotted the Fenris People's Army.
Under Darion's leadership, all the members have gathered together and are fighting the Undead.
Old Chen quickly ordered Zhaoren to land, then killed a Ghoul with a single punch, frowning, "Why aren't you leaving?"
The situation is very dangerous. It's pointless to commit all of the Fenris People's Army; it's better to leave as soon as possible.
Survival is the most important thing, this is Jiang Jie's philosophy, and it is also Old Chen's philosophy now -- this is not the Wandering Isle, he doesn't need to defend it to the death.
Uncle Chen.
Darion's fists flew with powerful, sweeping motions, smashing a skull's head apart with a single punch. Then he turned and said, "Master told us to fight here, not to enter the town!"
"Master? Jiang?" Old Chen asked in surprise, "He's here? Where is he?"
"Master is in heaven!" Darion pointed towards the southern sky.
In the sky?
Old Chen followed Darion's finger and looked in the distance, where he saw Jiang Jie in the sky.
On either side of Jiang Jie's ribs, a pair of golden and white wings appeared, making Jiang Jie look magnificent and dazzling!
"Jiang... has turned into a birdman? It's blinding my hardened, Kryptonite-filled eyes!" Old Chen grinned from ear to ear, pulling out a pair of high-tech engineering glasses from who-knows-where. They were the work of Gnomes engineer, which he had recently bought from a Gnomes merchant, paying Darion's money.
"That's an angel!" Darion corrected him righteously, glancing at Old Chen's glasses with a hint of heartache.
It's not that I'm worried about spending money, but rather that I'm worried about those glasses.
The Pandaren's face is so big it broke my glasses!
