In the last few hours of the Battle of the Shifting Sands, the allied forces of the Four Dragon Legions and the Night Elves pushed the battlefield to the very center of the Qiraji Empire, and the Silithus swarm retreated to the final fortress of Ahn'Qiraj.
But what awaits inside the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj is a massive swarm of Qiraji mutants, the number of which is unimaginable by the Kalimdor coalition.
After a long battle, the Kalimdor coalition still could not defeat the Qiraji Emperor and his swarm of alien insects. They could only trap them with a powerful magic barrier, and the city of Ahn'Qiraj was destroyed due to the war.
A cursed ruin.
After thousands of years, the Qiraji's aggressiveness has not subsided due to the barrier. A new generation of alien swarms slowly emerge from their nests, and the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj are once again filled with Qiraji aliens.
A huge, smooth barrier divides this area in half. This barrier is the Beetle Wall.
After the system was updated, the Beetle Wall was revealed to the world.
This 100-foot-high icy barrier spans the mountains on the east and west sides. In order to get a glimpse of what is inside the wall, some players climbed up a towering cliff a little further away. They found that the world inside the wall seemed to be the same as the outside.
:A hot, dry, sandy desert.
In some ancient books, the elves called the area within the wall "Ahn'Qiraj".
Players used many methods to try to get over the wall, including some short-term and long-term flying methods. Without exception, when they flew into the air above the wall, they were directly torn apart by a mysterious force.
Only by opening the gate can you enter Ahn'Qiraj. This is the answer given by the system.
A huge gong is waiting for players to ring.
The pace of war is gradually approaching.
Lu Li stood in front of the Beetle Wall and looked around at many players fighting with the insects that spawned. These insects were very weak and were attracted by the power of blood after the Beetle Wall appeared.
Outside Zerg.
He did not gather his troops immediately, but waited until the next day.
Early the next morning, people from the three major clubs who had received the news yesterday gathered together. Not only the elite members were dispatched, but also ordinary players were roped in to join in the fun.
Neither Weiyu Pavilion nor Wushuang City are in a hurry to open the door.
These clubs, which were the first to open the door, searched the market for materials, causing the prices of materials to skyrocket.
However, except for the source ore, the materials required for the task of opening the door are not too rare. The price will come down sooner or later, and then you will not have to spend so much money to complete the task again.
Except for the legendary equipment rewards for the first three completion tasks, the subsequent rewards are shabby and not worth spending much.
Especially the black Qiraji battle tank, which is only available to players who complete the mission for the first time.
Anyway, when it comes to opening up wasteland, as long as the leader is Lu Li, he can team up with anyone.
Moreover, the guild that Lu Li belongs to, because Lu Li has completed the mission, they can enter the dungeon without completing the mission again. Considering that the players have paid so much materials, it would be too stupid to allow a team to enter.
Therefore, Lu Li's team and guild can freely enter and leave the dungeon.
Of course, if other people want to complete this task, no one will stop them. After so many steps, the reputation alone makes many people feel that it is worth the money.
A copy of Ahn'Qiraj is in Silithus.
This place has been overcrowded recently due to the appearance of new copies.
Silithus is a desert similar to Tanaris, but there are no friendly goblins that provide drinking water like the latter. Even so, frequent rainfall allows it to maintain a high diversity of life, at least compared to the Shining Plains.
Class places are high.
Moreover, the plants here can store water, and travelers can collect cacti to obtain water.
There is a recipe called "Cactus Vegetable Pancake". The taste is very novel, a bit like mustard green onion pancake, but with the smooth texture of cactus juice. People who like it think it is delicious and even tried it in real life.
People who don't like it find it very disgusting.
In addition to the bugs, there are two major groups in Silithus: the elves of the Cenarion Circle and a group of Twilight's Hammer cultists.
The former is an organization of druids, while the latter is a believer in the ancient god. Their members are mainly tribes and a few humans, and the total number greatly exceeds that of druids.
Although compared to players, the Twilight Cultists are also an evil and hostile force - both to the Alliance and the Horde. Fortunately, the Twilight Cultists here prefer a closed life, and will only play with their own strange rituals, or
It involves repeated excavations of various ancient ruins.
And they spend most of their time fighting beetles in order to enter those ancient Kaldorei cities, and don't care much about the life and death of the adventurers.
Players can actually enter the Twilight Camp to obtain repairs and supplies. There is also a simple hotel that provides a resting place for adventurers, but few players are willing to believe these sect lunatics. In addition, there are many Twilight Hammers everywhere.
The sentry posts, including the one in Crystal Valley, are nothing more than watchtowers and a few tents.
The main safe zone for players is the Warrior's Tomb.
This elven ruins are now almost exclusively occupied by elves from the Cenarion Circle. They monitor the activities of the Silithids and the Twilight Hammer here, and explore nearby ruins from time to time. They have also opened up a path to Un'Goro
of trails.
The Cenarion Circle is a neutral organization that favors the Alliance.
Horde players can also participate here, and can also receive some Zerg-related tasks.
Although the Tomb of the Warriors is the largest gathering place in Silithus, the presence of more than 200,000 players has also made it extremely crowded. Fortunately, this is the era of virtual games. If it were still a console game hundreds of years ago,
, it is estimated that the server immediately hung up.
Hundreds of thousands of players, the combined strength of three clubs.
Even if they didn't say that the venue was reserved, a dispersing force was formed invisibly. The individual players fled away, but they were reluctant to leave, so they stopped far behind. The more people gathered, the larger the team became.
Incomparable.
Someone has made a statistic. If players can cause effective damage to NPCs, then the combined power of players can compete with all the legions in Azeroth.
Because there are too many people!
Now, they gathered in front of the Beetle Wall, preparing to show off against the dragons and night elves that they had fought back then, and the zerg that couldn't hold their heads up.
Of course, their strength is not as strong as that of the dragon and night elf alliance back then, but the bugs today are no better than they were then, especially after the system's interference threw all the bug bosses into the dungeon.
An Ahn'Qiraj gong was placed outside the insect wall. The golden scarab pattern was particularly dazzling under the hot sunshine of Silithus.
Lu Li rode a black Qiraji combat tank, passed through the team, and slowly arrived in front of the gong.
