Vol 3 Chapter 12: Stranglethorn

After coming out of Brian Buckler's house, Xiuyi first made a few laps in the locust town to become familiar with the surroundings.
The gangsters in the town's eyes had become less fierce after seeing Hugh Glair.
Whoever is able to easily kill Inigo and come out of the boss's room just means that he has absolute strength and has been recognized by the boss.
No one will go to death again at their own expense.
Although they still laughed at the behavior of gentlemen and others, they would no longer take the initiative to provoke, just use cold disregard to draw a line with the other side.
As Xiu had expected, Rayler felt they were not in the town.
Walking to a remote corner and seeing that there were no more people around, Xiu Yi took a strange little thing out of the ring. It looks like an eye, attached to a small metal pole, looking around.
Inserting that eye in the soft soil nearby, Xiu Yi sang the spell, the eyes disappeared.
He took out the crystal ball, and saw that all the images in this area had been reflected in the crystal ball.
This is the most commonly used peep eye for alchemists.
Xiuyi did n’t know if Buckler could be trusted. Many of the bandits in Robinia may be righteous, but the same villain who is not short of words and trustlessly trusts his life to others is foolish Of course, Xiu Yi will not make such a mistake.
The biggest advantage of using the peeping eye is that it can perform fixed-point peeping around the clock, without the need to consume magic like a warbler, and it does not need to pay attention at all times.
After walking to several hidden places and inserting more than ten peeping eyes in succession, the sight of the locust town area, especially the town entrance, has been fully seen.
After doing all this, Xiu Yi was finally relieved.
He decided to go to a nearby pub for a drink first.
Old Bill's fighter's tavern was full, and some alcoholics who could not find a place scolded in front of the bar. The noisy noise rattled the tavern until Xiu's entry.
The pub calmed down.
It's like a harbour after the storm, silent as death.
"Give me a glass of ale." Xiu put a Jinweit on the table.
The waiter glanced at Xiuyi with horrified eyes, and hurriedly placed a glass of ale in front of Xiuyi.
"Thank you," Xiuyi said.
Tiny wine glasses were filled with white foam, and the rich aroma overflowed from it. Xiu Yi tasted it a little bit, and the taste was much bitter than what he had drank in Xiangye City.
"Daughter's drink." A dissonant voice came from the tavern.
Following the sound, Xiu Yi saw a tall woman sitting at a wine table.
The woman has short blond hair and wheat-colored skin, her lips are painted a dark purple, extremely and sculpted, and she wears a leather outfit that tightly wraps her plump body, revealing beauty Hip curve.
There is a long emerald bow on her waist, an arrow box behind her, and a few flying knives on her belly.
It is worth noting that the woman's ears are slightly pointed and long, and there is a deep green in her eyes.
Half-blood elves? Human and elf hybrid? This is Xiu Yi's first impression.
He immediately noticed that the woman was sitting alone at the wine table. In this crowded and complicated environment, being able to dominate a table by herself, usually always had some status and relative strength.
When the woman spoke, all the robbers showed a sit-in look.
Honestly, after reaching his goal, Xiu Yi no longer wanted to do anything. In his opinion, force is only a supplementary means to achieve its purpose, not a leisure program after people have a meal. He was not interested in nothing, and he fought with the National People's Congress, so he did not give any answer to the evaluation of women.
But it seems like trouble always likes to find him.
The woman left her position and walked towards him, standing not far from him.
"Buckler shouldn't make a deal with you," she said. "You're a trouble. You're going to cause trouble for everyone in Robinia."
"Robinia is never short of trouble."
"But this time is different. Your bringing is no longer just trouble, maybe disaster."
The woman's eyes were sharp. She stared at Xiuyi: "Maybe I should take you down and give it to the local government office in exchange for better cooperation opportunities."
Then, she slowly lifted the long bow with her left hand, and at the same time she touched her right hand towards the arrow box behind her.
This action made Xiu Yixin vigilant, and he said coldly, "This is a very dangerous thought. I advise you to better not take further action, otherwise I don't guarantee any terrible consequences here."
All the bandits in the pub were tense, and stood up and backed away.
The woman quickly drew a long arrow, ready to put it on the bowstring.
Xiu Yi's body has bowed like a leopard, and he has secretly determined that as long as the woman puts the arrow up, he will immediately kill the opponent.
"Lilith, stop, don't shoot!"
Buckler's roar came from the door of the tavern.
Iger Ashlin also appeared at the door of the tavern at the same time: "Lord of the undead, use your strong will control to control the of the undead creature I designated!"
A ray of white energy pointed at the woman holding the bow and surrounded the woman.
The woman was furious: "Iger, you hit me!"
She was about to forcibly break the undead of the undead master, and saw that Xiu Yi was suddenly in a sudden shape, and a pale gold magic sword had been placed on her neck.
"Don't move, or you'll cut off your head." The boy's voice was cold and decided.
"Don't!" Buckler and Ashlin yelled at the same time.
Buckler strode over: "I'm sorry, Hugh Blair, but I can assure you that Lilith is not clear about this situation. She has just returned and Inigo is a person under his protection, You killed him, so she was angry. "
The woman named Lilith yelled, "Shut up, Buckler, I'm not for Inigo's crap. You don't know who exactly repairs Higlaire. Do you think he is an ordinary criminal?"
Buckler looked back at his companion: "Lilith, who can stand by you and me, none of them are ordinary criminals. But we all live well. He is a national criminal, so are we."
"That's different. This Hugh Glair is different from all of us. You can't believe it, but I just came back from the outside. I can tell you very clearly that in the eyes of the Empire, this Hugh Glair It's more important than any of us. This is what our people in the city told me personally. He's gotten bigger than the sky, and his arrival is likely to attract a large number of warriors from the Reims. "
Buckler removed Xiu's sword from Lilith's neck, then patted Lilith on the shoulder, let out her anger, lifted Ashlin's undead, and held her and said, "Yes, kill Ably It ’s a big leak, but what about it? The Reims Empire wanted to destroy us more than once? But they never succeeded. The mountain of Villas is big enough, and our strength is strong enough, so we are not afraid. What about them. Shuigler is an alchemist, and he has brought us the top potion of our dreams. That can save our lives in battle. "
"You should take everything from him and throw him out of Robinia." Lilith shouted angrily.
"I tried it, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. It wasn't luck that he could kill Abrit, Lilith, sober up. If Iger didn't hit you, you might already be dead."
"Have you played against him?" Lilith was horrified.
Buckler nudged Lilith close to her ear and said, "You must be lucky, really. My hunch tells me that this boy is stronger than he has shown."
"But the information I received tells me that this boy's attention in the eyes of the Reims is far more than the sum of all the people here. Maybe it won't be long before we will usher in an unprecedented siege. He is a lunatic, only a lunatic I'd do that kind of thing at Lanya Grand Theater. "Lilith answered coldly.
She gave Xiu a serious glance and strode away from the tavern.
Looking at the shadow of her departure, Xiuyi thought for a moment: "If she was right? Buckler, what would you do?"
Buckler grinned: "For the benefit, we dare to oppose the law of empire; for the sake of freedom, we do not hesitate to become criminals in exile. Hugh Iglell, no matter what you will bring us, the threat cannot be our waiver and deal with you Reason. Do n’t forget that we are criminals. We are born to be dead on the edge of the knife. When we make choices for the benefit, we are already pushing ourselves to extremes. It is likely that we will rob someone who is not The caravan that was robbed caused the calamity for ourselves, but will we abandon our every action because of this possibility? No, it won't! And you, repair Iglesias, are just one of them It's a matter of choice. Whatever you bring, for us, it's just like an ordinary robbery, it doesn't make any difference. "
"Good point." Hugh Glair nodded. He found that Buckler had at least one obvious advantage: he knew what he was doing and was ready to pay for it.
This is a man of the same mind.
"You better leave here now, we will take care of you," Buckler said.
-Stranglethorn Vale is located south of Robinia pseudoacacia town, inside the Abbes Mountains, and to the northwest of it is the Silent Forest of Heaven in Warcraft.
Silent Forest is one of the few surviving primordial jungles in Fengming Continent. It is home to about 3,000 species of creatures, including more than 1,000 species of Warcraft. However, with the endless exploitation of resources by human beings, this quiet jungle has also been greatly damaged.
Today, the area of ​​the Silent Forest has decreased by a quarter, there are more than a thousand species of Warcraft, about 700 species remain, and 300 species have been completely extinct. A large amount of magic vegetation was cut, excavated, and severely damaged, but human habitats have increased greatly as a result.
There are more than thirty human settlements in this area. In addition to a few bandit mixed areas like Robinia Town, there are also some tribal areas that live a lot of humanoid life.
The endless expansion of humanity threatens not only jungle creatures, but also other races. Regardless of the race, for human beings, it is the fate of expulsion and slavery.
Therefore, any life that lives here has a natural hostility to humans.
It was in such a place that Buckler promised him.
The Abbes Mountains are now alive. Large holly trees light up the mountain with their verdure in the snowy season. Although the trees are obviously slightly sparse, the dense canopy is connected piece by piece. Together.
Low bushes can be seen everywhere on the sunny rocky sloping field, and there are always clusters of low-hanging trees beside the steep cliffs, dotted with stars. The ordinary light scattered small flowers add a touch of charming temperament to this mountain.
Stepping out of the rough and rugged mountain path, Xiuyi saw cool mountain springs flowing in the mountains, with melting snow, and a clear water pond formed near the mountainside.
The weather has warmed up, and spring is coming, and some flowers have begun to bloom in their beauty.
The red pitaya, the green Qingxin lotus, the pink daughter's heart, the blue ocean flowers, and those fish swimming under the water, turning this place into a peaceful and beautiful world.
Unfortunately, these are not valuable mobs.
Going up the mountain spring, Xiu Yi came to a cliff, a small waterfall flowed down from the cliff, fell on the rocks, and smashed countless water droplets.
"This is where you need it." Ashlin's voice sounded behind him.
"Yes," Xiu Yi agreed. "It is very secretive and quiet here, and it really meets my needs."
This area is surrounded by a large area of ​​holly woods outside, and large needle-shaped leaves form the natural defense circle of this area. Few people will find this area unless someone specifically looks for it.
Not far from the cliff is a flat open area, which is suitable for Xiuyi to use as his laboratory.
Xiu Yi walked around and looked around, frowning slightly.
Ashlin captured the expression very sensitively: "Is there anything wrong?"
"No, no," Xiu answered quickly.
He thought about it and said, "Master Ashlin."
"Call me Iger, and I'm not a master. I am trained at level 4 in Undead."
"Okay, Iger, I have a question for you."
"You said."
"How much do you know about alchemy?"
Iger Ashlin was a little stunned, and he smiled bitterly: "In fact, I have limited knowledge. I learned alchemy on the one hand because I am a necromancer, some of them require alchemy, and the other On the other hand, it was commissioned by Buckler. Robinia Town needs an alchemist so that we can be self-sufficient. Unfortunately, we can't find an alchemist who is interested and the empire is facing you until you appear. The reason why we will I leave this to you because Buckler hopes that I can learn something useful from you. You can make top potions, and maybe you can point me to many places I haven't figured out yet. "
Xiu thought about it, then nodded, "I can give you some knowledge about alchemy, but you also promise me that you will not pass this knowledge on."
"Swear in the name of the Lord of the Undead." Ashlin answered seriously.
"Then I have another question to ask."
"Please speak."
"Do you come here often?"
Ashlin froze, then shook his head and said, "No, it's not necessary. In fact, including the one found here, we have only been here twice."
Watching Ashlin leave, Hugh Iglell first released the Wind Warbler to tour around, and then determined by spiritual inspection that there were no magic peeping around, and then hurried to the flat ground.
This flat land is very flat and looks like it has been trimmed by hand.
But Xiuyi learned from Ashlin that it was accidentally discovered by a girl named Lilith three years ago. At that time, this open space had always existed.
Whether it was Buckler or Ashlin, they ignored the question, why is there such an open space in the holly forest.
The development of the jungle will never let go of any soil suitable for its own growth. Seeds fly with the wind, wherever they fall, they grow.
But in this forest area surrounded by holly trees, such a large blank area will appear, and even weeds are not born, which is a little weird.
"It looks as if there is some power limiting the growth of the plants here," Xiu muttered to himself.
Picking up a handful of dirt, Xiuyi sniffed carefully.
Very fresh soil with plenty of water.
Taking a test tube out of the ring, Xiuyi tried to analyze the components in the soil.
But the result is that the soil here is excellent and suitable for most magic plants.
"There is no problem with the dirt, so what caused the barrenness of this land?" Xiu Yi was a little strange.
The development of things is never isolated, everything must have a cause, and trace back to the source. This is the way of thinking and habits that must be possessed by an outstanding alchemist.
Ashlin ’s accomplishments in alchemy are too low. His strong utilitarianism has focused on the refining of potions, so he did n’t realize the strangeness of this area, and he was not interested in exploring the unknown, but Xiuyi As soon as I came to this land, I felt the strangeness.
That's why he wondered how high Ashlin's alchemy was. He believed that if Heyns or Pier was found here, he would definitely try to break the mystery. Only a semi-alcoholic alchemy level like Ashlin would turn a blind eye to such a scene.
After thinking about it for a while, Xiuyi began to gather magic and sense the changes of the elements in the air.
The surrounding elements are not changing strongly, which means that there are also no obvious magic fluctuations in the vicinity.
It has nothing to do with soil and nothing to do with magic. So what does it have to do with it?
Xiu's heart became more confused.
He wandered in the open wilderness, thinking hard about what could make the grass here lingering.
He was weird, and Xu in his arms suddenly barked.
"Xu, what happened?"
I saw Xu jump out of Xiu Yi's arms, his hair was upright, and a low growl was made in his throat.
Its eyes stared at the center of the clearing.
The Flaming Bird also flew towards the sky at the same time, making a scream.
"Damn!" Xiu finally understood what was going on.
here is!
Is a resting place for advanced Warcraft!
The smell that I smelled just now is exactly the mark that Warcraft made on his territory.
For most of the advanced World of Warcraft, they usually only prevent the entry of those lives that may threaten themselves, but this one here does not seem to have such a grandeur, and it does not allow plants to grow in its territory.
The next moment, as soon as Asahi and the Flaming Bird prepared for action, Xiu Yi quickly summoned the wind spirit.
At the same time, the earth was suddenly violently turbulent, and the original flat ground was now undulating like the sea, and weird like ripples in a pond, spreading out in all directions.
In the center of the open area, a large concave hole appeared.
"His!" A sharp hiss came from the hole, and he was about to tear a person's eardrum. !! ~!
