While Sharlayan was busy calculating the three major forces in Blade's Edge Mountains, Onyxia, who had set out from the border of Frostfire Ridge first, had already reached her destination.
As one of the only five remaining fertile lands in the Blade's Edge Mountains, the scenery of Crowwood is very different from the wasteland scene that Onyxia saw when she flew along the way. This place is still full of green trees.
If this was the residence of the green dragon, Onyxia would take it for granted, but the black dragon...
As a member of the black dragon clan, Onyxia knows better than anyone else what kind of environment her kin will choose to settle in.
After flying around the Crow Wood, Onyxia was surprised to find that this woodland was not an unclaimed land. There was actually a group of arakkoa living in the woods near the foot of the mountain in the eastern part of the Crow Wood, and they were composed of arakkoa exiles and
High-level arakkoa live together.
This discovery somewhat surprised Onyxia.
After the Arak Peak Forest fell, most of the arakkoa fled to the vicinity of Talador Forest. Unexpectedly, one group migrated to such a remote place.
Unlike the arakkoa in Talador Forest who have long been smoothed by life, this group of outcasts living in seclusion in the Blade's Edge Mountains are very wary of outsiders.
When Onyxia landed at the door of the crow's nest and tried to communicate with them, she was greeted by a series of attacks.
For an adult black dragon with astonishing defense, these sparse spells and arrows are of little use.
Onyxia, who had not yet returned to her human form, was speechless and took all the attacks. After that, she rolled her eyes and asked the frightened arakkoa: "Have you beaten enough? Have you calmed down? Let's talk.
.”
The arakkoa soldiers present experienced a commotion, and an arakkoa leader holding a staff finally came out with gritted teeth.
"Your Excellency, please forgive our clan's arrogance. We, the Luan Crow people, have fallen into such a state that we can no longer give you what you want."
"you?"
After confirming that the group of guys calling themselves Runan Crows in front of her were no longer aggressive, Onyxia returned to her human form and showed a thoughtful expression.
"So, have you ever seen a creature that looks similar to me?"
The leader of the Luan people was obviously confused: "You mean... you are not the same group as the black dragons that are running rampant around here?"
'Bingo~ Sarlayan really guessed it right.'
After being induced by Onyxia's words, the Runan people told them all the information they knew.
The information Onyxia received from the arakkoa was somewhat different from what Sharlayan said.
This group of Runan Crow originally lived in the Runan Wilds in the middle of the Blade's Edge Mountains.
With the intrusion of the Blade Tower Ogres, a foreign group, the weak Runan people were driven out of their homeland and forced to migrate to the inaccessible northwest of the Blade's Edge Mountains.
Dragon Slayer Gruul and his descendants indeed have strong physical fitness, but whether they are Gronns, One-Eyed Demons, or Ogres, they all have an innate shortcoming that is difficult to make up for.
They cannot fly.
On the way from Frostfire Ridge, Onyxia discovered a little secret of Ravenwood.
This woodland is separated from the main body of the Blade's Edge Mountains by a series of mountains as tall as a blade. If you start from the ground, you can't reach the Crow Forest through conventional methods.
Onyxia speculated that the Runan arakkoa crossed the mountains and lived here in seclusion with the help of high-ranking arakkoa among the tribe.
Since the main body of Blade's Edge Mountain cannot be connected by land, the Runan people thought they had found a paradise suitable for seclusion.
However, the good times did not last long. As soon as the new Luan Crow's Nest was built, a group of black monsters that covered the sky and the sun suddenly came to them.
According to the information provided by the arakkoa leader named Grishner, the black dragons that attacked Luan's crow's nest should have been young dragons. If they were more powerful adult black dragons, this group of arakkoa might not even be able to resist.
It is difficult to maintain the will.
The reason why they dared to muster the courage to attack when they saw Onyxia was precisely because they did not suffer too much loss in the previous baby dragon raid.
According to Grischner, the group of black dragons did not live in Crowwood, but patrolled from an area south of this woodland.
"south?"
Onyxia raised her head and recalled: "Isn't the south of Crowwood a wasteland full of strange crystals? I didn't see any trace of the black dragon."
"This..." Grischner scratched the feathers on his head: "Then I'm not sure. Last time they did fly from the south to launch an attack."
"Oh~"
Onyxia pondered for a moment with twinkling eyes: "It seems that there should be caves that lead directly to the ground near the crystal wasteland. From the surface, it is difficult to detect traces of their activities with the naked eye."
"By the way, do you plan to live in seclusion in this place where birds don't poop?"
After roughly coming to a conclusion, Onyxia casually mentioned it to Grishna out of kindness.
"Most of your fellow tribesmen have moved to Azeroth, where the living environment is better, to recuperate, and the few remaining arakkoa have also moved into Shattrath City, which has relatively better security conditions."
"You...don't really think that the ogre can't come over the mountain to hunt you down, do you?"
"You know, the creatures of the Goron series can be regarded as children of the earth from a certain perspective. It is not difficult for them to dig a tunnel."
"Azeroth?" Grishner was obviously stunned when he heard this unfamiliar name: "I've heard of Shattrath. What is Azeroth?"
Onyxia: "...Are you serious?"
"Of course, we have never heard of it."
Through this conversation, Onyxia can initially draw a conclusion.
The Runan people moved to the Blade's Edge Mountains...or Gorgrond, probably long before the Alliance expeditionary force entered Draenor.
After some questioning, Onyxia's guess was confirmed.
Many years ago, the descendants of the Apexis civilization sent many explorers to various areas of Draenor in order to find the Apexis crystals scattered throughout Draenor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The predecessor of the Runan Crow People was one of the exploratory teams sent to the Gorgrond region. They have settled here for more than 200 years.
The Runan arakkoa have witnessed the battle between the original beasts and the saboteurs, the battle that freed the orcs from ogre servitude, and the violent geological activity that transformed Gorgrond into the Blade's Edge Mountains.
After stumbling for hundreds of years, this group of tenacious arakkoa people still survived in the increasingly harsh environment of the Blade's Edge Mountains.
With the decline of the Apexis civilization, the Runan people were cut off from the Sky Peak, which had experienced a period of shocking civil strife, and they knew nothing of the many changes that had occurred in areas outside Gorgrond over the years.
This is also why the Luan arakkoa are in a state where wingless people and high-level arakkoa coexist.
"its not right."
After listening to the historical story told by Grischner, Onyxia discovered a bright spot.
"Since you have long been disconnected from the Arak Peaks, why are you still suffering from the curse of Setai and losing your wings?"
Grischner spread his hands helplessly: "This problem has also been bothering us. The arcanists in the clan speculate that it should be related to a little curse power contained in the earth's veins."
"Ley veins...?"
Onyxia looked at the green grass at her feet thoughtfully: 'Could it be that the tentacles of the ancient god Draenor once spread to Gorgrond? Since then, it has been lightly contaminated with the power of the void.
The land of Gorgrond?'
This guess is not impossible.
As we all know, the Gorgrond region is where the final battle between the Primordial Beast and the Destroyer took place.
However, before that, the free-moving evergreens had not yet moved here, and the primal beasts were busy competing for land with the Apexis arakkoa in Arak Peak.
At that time, Gorgrond was dominated by the Destroyer family. As a descendant of the Titans, the Destroyer had strong resistance to the power of the void originating from the ancient gods.
It needs to be emphasized here again that the Old Gods of Draenor, unlike their compatriots in Azeroth, can absorb the power of star souls to strengthen themselves.
There are no star souls in Draenor, and the strength of the Old Gods here is far inferior to that of N'Zoth, the weakest man in Azeroth.
If the unknown ancient god fought in Gorgrond with the Destroyer, who was still in full swing at the time, the result would be self-evident and it would definitely end in the ancient god's defeat.
"Tsk!"
After thinking about some key points, Onyxia smacked her lips irritably: "It's true that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. Even though they have all gone to Draenor far away from Azeroth, they still instinctively look for it.
Settle where the Old Gods have left their footprints."
"Sabrian, what are you protecting? Are you mean or not?"
