Chapter 1229 The big fish that comes to your doorstep
C'Thun is known as the Thousand-Eyed Demon. You can get a glimpse of its abilities through this title, and it will definitely have amazing insights.
It was expected that they would be discovered after sneaking into the city of Ahn'Qiraj, but Sharlayan really didn't expect that C'Thun would be so sensitive. They were caught as soon as they entered the city.
Sarlayan: "I always feel like we are taking the blame for others."
Be more confident, don’t act like it, it’s just okay!]
Since he was not familiar with the place, Sarlayan could only drive Valeela along the street to "parkour", and did not dare to easily get into the small alleys that were not known to be dead ends.
The insect soldiers guarding the city of Ahn'Qiraj didn't seem to expect that they would catch a big fish during an ordinary routine inspection into the city, and their reaction speed was obviously half a beat slower.
By the time the guards screamed and mounted the tank bugs and began to pursue them, Sarlayan had already run a long distance and even jumped onto the roofs of the houses built with obsidian in the city.
As the saying goes, only when you climb high can you see far.
Although this was not the first time for Sharlayan and Valeela to visit Ahn'Qiraj, the experiences of later generations obviously cannot be directly applied to this era.
The Ahn'Qiraj they remembered was already a dilapidated ruin, with ruins and ruins everywhere, and it bore no resemblance to the current Holy City of Ahn'Qiraj, which was in its heyday and prosperity.
In order to easily observe the terrain, Sarlayan's transformed tank bug nimbly stepped on the "obstacles" on the roadside to use its strength and jumped onto the roof.
What surprised Sharlayan was that the city of Ahn'Qiraj built under C'Thun's personal supervision was very different from the city-building concepts of the major races in Azeroth.
In order to facilitate the construction of city walls to defend the entire city, including Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Thalas, the mainstream urban architectural style in Azeroth is a circular layout.
When Unicorn City was last expanded, it adopted the suggestions provided by Danmaku, abandoning the bulky and low-cost city walls and instead using arcane enchantments to protect the entire city.
After getting rid of the restrictions of city walls, city planning can be completely free.
...Of course, only countries like Quel'Thalas, which can use the sun well for energy, dared to carry out such a bold wall-less design in the era of feudal aristocracy.
The architectural concept of Ahn'Qiraj... in Sharlayan's words, is a bit advanced.
Due to the geographical environment, this holy city is surrounded by mountains, and the only way to enter the city is through a thin line of sky at the entrance of the canyon.
The advantages of the natural environment allowed the city of Ahn'Qiraj to get rid of the restrictions of building a city with walls, and adopted a unique rectangular layout in urban planning.
While leaping forward on the rooftops, Sarlayan saw the landmark temple located in the deepest part of the city at a glance.
The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in this era has not yet sunk into the ground. Due to different aesthetics, the appearance cannot be said to be beautiful in Sharlayan's opinion, but it can at least be said to be majestic.
The guards following the two men also jumped onto the roof one after another, and started a rather novel chase battle under the surprised and curious attention of the people of Ahn'Qiraj City.
"Salayan, the situation is not good."
Sarlayan put most of his energy into observing and taking shorthand of the city's structure, while Valeela was responsible for keeping an eye on the pursuers.
At the beginning, the guards chasing after the two men were all ground units without exception.
Seeing that they could never catch up, the insect commander guarding the city finally became angry and sent out more mobile flying units.
"I saw."
With his peripheral vision, he noticed the flying insects that were swarming over the city from all directions. Sarlayan jumped off the roof without hesitation, memorized the layout of the city by climbing high and began to walk through the streets.
After entering a deserted alley, Valeera stepped on the tank bug's back to use its strength to jump out, and entered the stealth state before landing.
Sarlayan also hid in a corner of the blind spot, transformed from a huge Qiraji tank insect into a black panther with oily fur, and started sneaking after Valeela.
"Da da da!"
A large number of insect-men quickly arrived outside the alley with the sound of their joints hitting the ground as they ran. After a search but failed to find the enemy, they quickly retreated vigorously and continued to search in other directions.
"call"
After finally getting rid of the pursuers temporarily, Sarlayan and Valeela took a deep breath in the soul link channel at the same time.
However, before the two of them could get together to discuss the next step, another C'Thun's eyeball suddenly appeared in the alley.
"Gan! This guy is really haunting and pervasive!"
Just when Sarlayan and Valeera were secretly spotted and were planning to move to a hiding place again, a dark gray stream of light suddenly penetrated the eyeballs of C'Thun, who was about to issue a warning.
"puff"
With a slight muffled sound, C'Thun's eyeballs quickly faded away as if they were cursed with aging, and the entire process was clearly presented before the eyes of Sarlayan and Valeera.
"This is……"
This strange scene made Sharlayan show an expression of enlightenment, but Valeela took out her weapon with extra vigilance, glanced around with sharp eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Who is that person?!"
"Shhh"
A rough voice appeared out of thin air in the alley where there was no third person: "Two friends, don't get excited, I don't mean any harm."
Sarlayan and Valeela looked at each other with twinkling eyes, and they both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
'Did Big Fish show up on his own initiative? Let me see who you are.'
Unlike the two Sarlayans who had investigated the clues in advance and were well prepared, due to the lack of intelligence, the mysterious man who suddenly rescued the two people did not know their complicated psychological activities.
As the old saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend.
Based on this idea, the mysterious man planned to send Valeera and Sarlayan to a relatively safe place through voice guidance-the temporary residence where he was hiding.
Maintaining stealth, the two of them avoided the surveillance area of C'Thun's eyeballs under the guidance of the mysterious man, and successfully arrived at another dark alley where no one cared.
A space door suddenly cracked open on the originally plain obsidian wall. Sarlayan and Valeera exchanged glances one last time and walked into the door one after another while maintaining high alertness.
"You two, welcome to my refuge."
A familiar voice sounded again, and a strong man over 2 meters tall stood in front of Sarlayan and Valeera with a smile, welcoming their arrival.
"oh?"
Valeera's eyes first glanced at the pointed long elf ears on the other person's head, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
"What a rare visitor. I didn't expect to see our 'common race' here."
The strong man standing in front of them had a pair of typical elf ears.
However, both Sarlayan and Valeela knew very well that no elves other than themselves could appear in this era.
In other words... this guy took reference from the appearance of the two of them and deliberately changed it into a look that would make it easier to get closer.
But what is fake is still fake after all. It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger but to paint its bones. You know the person but not the heart.
Because he didn't understand the racial characteristics of the high elves, the mysterious man's changed appearance looked nondescript, completely lacking the elegance and gracefulness that the high elves should have. It was as if a pair of elf ears had been inserted into a rough human man.
The sense of sight of a big man with hairy legs wearing cat ears...]
"Haha, this lady is joking."
The mysterious man himself also knew that his changing appearance could not be concealed from these two true high elves with playful smiles on their faces.
"This is just my imitation based on your appearance. Please forgive me if there is any offense."
Judging from the contact so far, Sarlayan has not seen any hostility from this big man with a rather forthright personality.
However, this does not mean that he and Valeela will relax their vigilance. It is still unclear what the other party's true intentions are and whether they will run counter to each other's interests.
The other party's frankness caused a formulaic smile to appear on Sarlayan's face: "This...brother, what should I call him?"
Because it was a projected incarnation that was specially created to hide its true identity, Sarlayan could not yet tell which Eternal was the work of the other person.
Facing Saryan's question, the other party waved his hand and said, "Just call me Prius."
"You two, I wonder why you sneaked into this city? Could it be that... you have a grudge against the creature rooted deep in this land?"
"Ouch"
Sarlayan asked with interest: "We should ask you this question."
"Mr. Prius, do you have any grudge against the Thousand-Eyed Demon C'Thun? Why do you want to help us?"
"Thousand-Eyed Demon? C'Thun?"
Prius's eyes flickered slightly: "I see, is this the real name of the light-and-dark-sensitive parasitic symbiote?"
