Regarding Prell's invitation, Chen Stormstout only thought about it for a moment before agreeing. As an adventurous pandaren, he likes all new things and travels with the strange combination of kobolds and harpies.
It’s also a pretty good choice.
Moreover, he has been drifting on the sea for too long. Even though he has received warm hospitality from the dwarves, Chen Stormstout still hopes to have someone who can communicate smoothly with him and chat with him. And Prell
The ability given by the Holy Light just met his requirements for communication.
Chen Stormstout has the average height of a pandaren, about 1.8 meters, and looks like a standard strong man. Judging from his body shape, he is very threatening, and his arms and face are all hairy. In Prell's opinion,
, this is the cutest part of the Pandaren's appearance, but in the eyes of Belgar, Snur and Lestalen, this chubby big guy is nothing more than a big talking beast.
But soon the enthusiasm and cheerful attitude of the pandas weakened the fear of the three Belgars, especially Lestalen, the little harpy who was a foodie. After tasting the pandas' craftsmanship, they roasted gazelles.
After eating meat and a handful of snacks given by the dwarves that the pandaren took out of his bag, she immediately felt that this big beast was a good person.
So Lestalen chattered and asked many interesting questions. Prell translated and Chen Stormstout answered, which made a group of people laugh. Snoo did not participate in it, but took the time to meditate. He needed to do it as soon as possible.
Restore mana.
Following Prell on this trip has brought huge benefits to Snu. Not to mention that his understanding of spells has been greatly improved due to the influence of Prell's "Great Lord System".
Fighting with wild beasts, he learned a lot of combat experience.
Different from the game, Snu, as a mage, has limited spell skills, so his fighting style is basically spell-assisted and melee-based combat. This is also the fighting style of almost all spellcasters in Azeroth.
After all, spell casters cannot be like the mages in the game. If they have blue bars, they dare to rub the ice arrows one after another. If they don't have blue bars, they can still wake up or sit on the floor to eat and drink. Spell casters in reality must be aware of themselves.
You must have an absolutely clear understanding of your mana value, and every skill must be carefully calculated.
Originally, shamans like Belga had similar combat methods, relying on spells as assistance. However, due to long-term teaming with Prell, Belga could safely carry out the battle with Prell as a human shield.
Throw spells and skills from behind, without having to worry about enemies suddenly rushing in front of you, forcing you to interrupt your spell casting.
Compared to Prell's enthusiastic and outgoing Jiraimi, and to Belga, who has become more and more outgoing under Prell's influence, Snu is obviously the one who is most like a kobold among the three. He is silent and sensitive, not at all.
Don't like to communicate with other unfamiliar people.
Even after following Prell for so long, he is still the most taciturn one. Probably because of this, the little harpy Lestallen felt that Snu was a reliable kobold, so he was particularly close to him.
After chatting lively for a while, Prell said sorry to Chen Stormstout, and then began his unshakable teaching work every day - teaching Lestalen to learn the goblin language.
Chen Stormstout listened to it for a while and found it very interesting. He immediately expressed that he also wanted to learn it because he heard Prell said that Goblin language is the common language of the mainland and thought it was an extremely useful tool.
So Prell began to teach Chen Stormstout some simple goblin words and expressions, and then Lestalen was severely hit.
Races like kobolds, gnolls, and harpies that don't have written language seem to make up for it by learning the languages of other races, especially a convenient language like Goblin, which is very easy to learn.
But Lestalen's speed at learning Goblin language pales into insignificance compared to Chen Stormstout. Pandaren are obviously a smart race, and Chen Stormstout learns it very quickly. Preel can speak two words of a word.
After correcting his pronunciation three times and finally correcting his pronunciation once, he learned it decently.
Regarding Prell's praise, Chen Stormstout said modestly: "Goblin language is a simple language. In comparison, if you can master Pandaren language, you are truly smart!"
Prell regarded this as a compliment from the pandaren, so he continued to teach the two students. Lestalen's voice was high-pitched and crisp, while Chen Stormstout's voice was powerful and thick.
A different taste.
As the night got darker, Lestalen curled up her wings after studying. This was a sign that she was sleepy, so Chen Stormstout said with a wink that he was tired too, so everyone should rest.
He offered to be on guard duty, but Prell said that he would be on guard duty for the first half of the night, so Chen Stormstout didn't waste any time. He took out a blanket from his bag and found a comfortable position to lie down, with his round belly covered with a cloak.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
After a silent night, Prell was awakened the next morning by Chen Stormstout, who woke up late at night and continued to watch. He opened his eyes drowsily, sat up half-sitting in a daze for a while, rubbed his eyes, and saw
Chen Stormstout is practicing boxing on the grass in the distance.
Chen Stormstout's movements were very slow, but every punch and palm move he made was extremely fast and powerful. Judging from his movements, he seemed to be performing a complete set of punches.
Lestalen flapped her wings and watched with interest from behind, as if she regarded the Pandaren's boxing skills as a kind of gymnastics performance.
Breakfast was the leftover gazelle meat from last night, and a clay pot of porridge made by Snu. It was a bag of plant particles that looked like wild millet that they brought from the Apalaye camp when they set out. They were brought by the tauren.
A specialty from the Desolate Lands.
Then they packed up the camp and continued to head northwest. Chen Stormstout came from the south of the Barrens, so Prell chose to head northwest. His destination was Sweetwater Oasis.
Chen. Stormstout seemed to have a child that would never grow up living in his body. Everything he saw on the grassland felt so fresh. When he saw the most common prairie dog on the grassland, which was poking its head at the entrance of the hole, he even went out of his way to
After observing closely, these little animals were so frightened that they turned around and went into the cave.
After all, Lestalen was underage, and she still maintained a childlike sense of freshness towards everything, so she quickly followed the pandas around the grassland. In comparison, the three kobolds looked the most interesting.
Mature.
On the afternoon of the third day, this small team once again discovered a wild boar village. Unfortunately, like the wild boar village Prell and the others encountered before, it was also attacked by centaurs.
Chen Stormstout frowned, looking at a wild boar corpse that had begun to smell bad, and pointed back: "This wound should have been caused by the centaur's scimitar." Killed those last time
After the centaur bandits, the loot captured from cleaning the battlefield was carried behind the three kobolds.
There were more than a dozen intact scimitars and several intact horn bows. As for the other stone axes, stone-clustered wolf-tusk arrowheads, and the centaur spellcaster's staff, everyone looked down upon them.
After leaving this small, sleepy village that had been slaughtered by the centaurs, the group continued heading north. Chen Stormstout seemed to have lost his sense of freshness about the grasslands, or perhaps because he advocated peace and hated war, so he walked uncharacteristically.
He was at the front, acting as a scout for the team.
The further north you go, the more types and numbers of wild animals there are, and it is obvious that the Sweetwater Oasis is about to arrive. On the afternoon of the fifth day, Prell saw a low intermittent hillock in the grassland and a large green forest from a distance.
At this time, he breathed a sigh of relief and finally found his destination.
The Sweetwater Oasis is very large, with a large lake in the center with vast waves. Prell found no traces of nomadic and semi-settled centaurs, which was the biggest reason for his relief.
If the Kokar Centaur has completely occupied this oasis, then the chance of the Tauren's comeback will be even smaller. Considering the location of the Sweetwater Oasis in the entire Barrens, occupying this place is equivalent to taking over the Tauren in the Stonetalon Mountains.
People were completely blocked in the mountains.
If the tauren tribe wants to migrate to Mogolei, the Sweetwater Oasis is the most important water source and transit resting place.
The group had just arrived at the hill on the edge of the oasis when Chen Stormstout suddenly raised his finger: "Be careful, there seems to be a sound nearby!" Prell listened carefully and heard nothing.
But he trusted the panda people's judgment, so the five of them carefully walked around the hill and saw a lively temporary camp halfway up the mountain in the distance.
The pandaren's eyesight was very good. He could clearly see the people in the camp from a distance, so he asked: "What are those? They seem like the jackals you mentioned."
Prell quietly came closer again, looked at it for a while, and then returned: "That's the team of the venture capital company. I saw humans, dwarves, jackals, and green goblins."
Judging from the composition and number of personnel, this must be the team sent by Gresu. Prell thought about it carefully and felt that it was very likely that this group of people was sent to the Mogore area. Because he remembered that in the game, in Mogore
To the east of Gaolei, there is a venture capital company mine.
Chen Stormstout said in surprise: "It turns out these are goblins! Pandaria also has a race that calls itself 'goblins'. It is a kind, honest and extremely superstitious race. Judging from their skin color and appearance, they are similar to
The goblins may have a certain blood relationship!"
Prell said: "I don't want to deal with these guys who have their eyes on money. I suggest we go to the other side to rest."
Chen Stormstout followed suit. He felt that Prell must have some story he wanted to tell him, so the small team made a large circle and arrived at the southeast corner of the oasis, in the middle of a ring of hills surrounded by woods.
The tent was pitched.
After dinner, Prell hesitated for a long time before telling the panda about some things about the mine. He believed in the panda and hoped to get help from this enthusiastic panda in the future.
Chen Stormstout was silent for a long time after listening to his story, and then sighed: "This world is always full of oppression and resistance! Let me guard the first half of the night tonight!"
