Prell took his team and once again bypassed the hills on the south side of the Venture Capital Plains oil well, and then continued to move east.
Along the way, they chased wild beasts, firstly as a source of food, secondly to earn experience by killing monsters, and thirdly because Prell wanted to open the map and dispel the fog of war in the map system.
A group of four people once again circled to the north of Thorn Ridge, and then they followed the slope that suddenly became lower and approached the Wrathwater River. This is a large river that originates from Mount Hyjal and flows through Ashenvale and the land of Azshara.
, the section of the river south from Thorn Ridge to the sea is where the Wild Boars of the Steelmane Clan have lived for generations.
After killing a group of giant-toothed crocodiles gathered on the river beach, the three kobolds swam across the wide river with difficulty. Lestalen could fly, so she flew to the other side of the river early.
After bypassing the Thunder Mountains where a large number of Thunder Lizards live, Prell prepared to lead the team to continue heading east, but then found that the way forward was blocked.
The harpies of the Dustwind Clan who lived in Gale Canyon and Drywater Valley, for some unknown reason, had a war with the Steelmane Boars living in the Razor Ridge area. The battle took place on the south side of Gale Canyon.
So Prell immediately retreated with his companions without saying a word. He did not want to get involved in the war between the two clans. The Tauren and the Witchwing Clan had a truce, but the Dust Wind Clan Harpy did not sign the agreement.
What kind of peace treaty was it? He didn't want to offend the militant elements of the harpy race.
Without thinking too much, Prell guessed that the war must have been initiated by the harpies. There was a lack of food and supplies. In this barren red soil land, the harpies probably could not afford to offend the venture capital company, let alone the people to the east.
The navy of the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, then they have only one target to rob: the quilboar in the Razor Hill area.
Along the left side of the Thunder Mountains and the narrow road on the right bank of the Nushui River heading north, there are more and more Bloodclaws and Sharptooth Raptors here, as well as more and more scorpions.
Velociraptors are relatively easy to deal with, after all, these animals rarely travel in groups, but scorpions are a huge headache.
There are three main types of scorpions on the east bank of the Nushui River: the hard-armored scorpion with a spotted back, rough skin and thick flesh; the giant pincer scorpion with a pair of huge forelimbs, which is huge; and the green one dragging a barbed venomous stinger.
The poison-tailed scorpion is extremely poisonous.
These gregarious scorpions make Prell and others very busy, especially the poison-tailed scorpions. In addition to the poisonous barb stinger, their forelimbs are also poisonous. Although Prell learned the "purification" method to detoxify at level 6
Technique", but facing a group of charging poison-tailed scorpions, just detoxifying them consumed a lot of his mana.
And unlike the other two kinds of scorpions, poison-tailed scorpions are active at dusk and are active at night. For two consecutive nights, Player and his team had to face the sneak attacks and attacks of poison-tailed scorpions and intruding giant-toothed crocodiles. Finally,
He retreated to the west bank of the Nushui River in embarrassment.
With no other choice, Prell had to lead the team northward along the west bank of the Nushui River. The west bank of the Nushui River is a towering slope extending from the barren land. The rushing Nushui River divides this area.
The soil slopes were washed into a low river bed, and occasionally there were one or two or dozens of small trees, which looked very much like coconut trees, but Prell was not sure.
This road is still full of dangers. Every once in a while, you will encounter groups of giant-toothed crocodiles. This is a huge six-legged crocodile covered with gray-brown hard skin. It moves quickly. If you encounter
When there were about 3 of them, Prell dared to put up a fight. If they encountered more than 4 of them, they would have no choice but to turn around and run away.
On the fourth day after returning to the west bank of the Raging River, Prell decided to take a day off. The days of fighting had left both Belga and Snu exhausted, not to mention the newly awakened Windcaller and Little Eagle.
It's Lestallen.
Then they discovered a trace of intelligent creatures camping and resting. Prell opened the map and thought about it for a long time, and finally felt that he might have brought his friends close to the pumice mine.
His guess was correct. One morning two days later, Prell discovered a convoy in advance through the map system, and then took his friends to hide in the aquatic reeds on the river bank.
This is a convoy dominated by goblins. At the front are two huge kodo beasts, each pulling a carriage full of ore. Behind them is a long line of carriages. Driving the vehicles and escorts
Mainly green-skinned goblins, and more than a dozen single-headed ogres following them.
These ogres are about the same size as Absher, Fezix's slave and mount that Prell has seen. Their naked upper bodies are tattooed with many patterns, and they have a piece of cloth wrapped around their waists, which serves as both pants and belts.
Carrying a huge stone hammer.
In the middle of the convoy, there was a Kodo beast that was not pulling a carriage but carrying a large package. There were three people sitting on it, two goblins, and a pair of men wearing white robes and carrying a staff inlaid with gems.
Head ogre.
"It's Mr. Gazruin!" Belga said in a low voice. Prell nodded, his eyes moved forward from the two-headed ogre magician and landed on the goblin in front of the ogre. That was exactly
Gazruin, he was wearing a short gray coat and his expression was very serious.
The goblin next to him looked older than Fizzix. He wore a monocle and was holding an account book and talking to Gazruin.
Waiting patiently for this goblin convoy to continue heading south, Prell emerged from the reeds and said: "Let's move on!" He didn't have any dislike for Gazruin, but if he wanted to say he had any affection,
, he doesn’t have any such feelings for goblins.
On the west bank of the Nushui River, undulating low hills began to appear, and the mountains became higher as they went north. Then they discovered a man-made dead end road at the mouth of a narrow valley, and arrived at the pumice mine.
Prell took his friends across the river again and walked for nearly two days. They saw a huge valley and towering mountains. Except for the west bank of the Nushui River, there was no way to go north.
After killing two groups of giant scorpions, Prell climbed up the valley. When he looked down, he didn't speak for a long time. Belga and Snu who followed him also had their eyes widened, and Lestalen began to tremble.
Got up.
The cliffs of the valley blocked the slanting sunlight. On the side in the shadow, there were densely packed with various scorpions! Prell only felt his scalp numb. He had some trypophobia, and there was a faint fishy smell permeating the valley.
The smell made him very uncomfortable. It was the smell of scorpion venom accumulated at the bottom of the valley and unable to be released in time.
After carefully walking around the valley, Prell sighed for a long time. This is the future main city of the tribe, the home of the orcs on the continent of Kalimdor, and the valley where Orgrimmar is located!
Four winding valleys are connected together, and now the bottom of the valley is the home of scorpions. Player paced back and forth, thought for a moment, clapped his paws, and said loudly: "This is it!"
The deep moss spiders in the Gale Valley were once his main target for leveling, but obviously the current situation is no longer suitable for the deep moss spiders. Other areas of the Stonetalon Mountains are also not suitable. The Barrens is too vast, although wild animals
There are quite a few, but they are not concentrated enough, and the time spent searching for them far exceeds the time spent fighting monsters.
Prell has always wanted to find a good place for leveling, and apparently now he has found it. It's just that he hates scorpions. The skin of hard-armored scorpions is too thick, and even if he uses the "Seal of Justice", the attack power is a little worse;
The Pincer Scorpion is too big and its two huge chelicerae have astonishing defense. In short, it is difficult to deal with, let alone the poisonous Venomous Tailed Scorpion.
After a short period of self-psychological construction and adjustment, Player's desire to upgrade overcame his fear of creatures like scorpions, and he decided to use this valley full of scorpions as a leveling point.
Belga has always obeyed Prell's decision. Belga has no objection, and Snulian and Lestalen have no objections. Although Lestalen does not like Scorpion, it is obvious that she does not have enough say.
So about a day's walk to the west of the valley mouth, a solitary thick tree became a temporary camp for Prell and others. The tree was located some distance away from the valley mouth, and at the same time it was not far from the Nushui River.
Far away, right on the edge of the activity range of two creatures, scorpions and crocodiles.
A family of scorpions that originally lived under a big tree were unlucky. Prell added various BUFFs to himself and his team members, then rushed out with his hammer in hand, attracting the attention of the scorpion family, and then concentrated the hammer with both hands.
The holy light came out and it hit the ground hard.
Holy light energy spurted out from the soles of his feet. This was the skill "Devotion" that Prell had selected through his talent. Belga had already set up a lightning shield for Prell, and then a lightning arrow hit the Kobold's head.
The even bigger male giant scorpion went away.
Snu took out an ice arrow and froze the female giant scorpion in place, and Lestalen followed up with a "Wind Breath Technique" to roll up the two smaller scorpions.
The giant claw scorpion has the same hard shell and has a certain resistance to spells, so after playing the consecration, Player picked up the sledgehammer and started hitting it one after another.
The entire scorpion family was wiped out, and the whole family fell neatly to the ground. Prell took out the dagger, pried it hard a few times, and found that it was easier to peel than the skin of the hard-armored scorpion, so his arms were splashed with blood.
Several lumps of scorpion meat were dug out.
He looked at it carefully with his observation eyes and found that the scorpion meat was not poisonous, so he said: "This is tonight's dinner!" Even snack food Lestalen couldn't help but frowned with an expression of rejection.
Prell laughed loudly: "Since you don't want to eat it, then look around to see if there are any other scorpions, and pick some cactus berries by the way!"
Compared with the prairie on the west bank of the Nushui River, the east side of the Barrens deserves the word "barren". There is red soil everywhere, and the ridges are bare. Only those near the Nushui River or ponds formed by rainfall are somewhat stubborn.
The grass grows.
There are solitary low trees and a small patch of shrubs growing beside them. Almost every big tree can be regarded as a landmark. In this barren land, the most common thing growing is cacti.
After killing the scorpions, everyone was disgusted by the appearance of this creature, and Prell never thought of eating scorpions as food. They even tried eating the meat of giant-toothed crocodiles, but the crocodile meat had a strong smell.
The earthy smell cannot be concealed by any spices, and the meat is extremely hard, making it difficult to chew and swallow.
So Prior was busy dealing with the scorpions, Belga looked around to see if there were other scorpions, and Snu took Lestalen to look for cacti.
They once ate cactus berries, which were sweet, sour, juicy, and tasted very good. The only bad thing was that they were not easy to preserve, and cacti were not everywhere in the Barrens.
That night, Prell roasted scorpion meat on the campfire. When the aroma of the cooked meat wafted out, he closed his eyes, opened his mouth with a ferocious expression, and took a bite.
Then he discovered that scorpion meat was actually more delicious than expected, harder than rabbit meat, and had a faint earthy and rusty smell. Although it was not delicious, it was at least acceptable compared to crocodile meat.
So Prell began to eat with confidence and distributed the barbecue to the three friends who had been staring at him.
Scorpion meat can at least be used as food. For Prell, this means that he decided to use the scorpions in the valley as objects to gain experience. At least he doesn't have to worry about food!
