Warcraft novel series

The night in the Land of Fire is filled with thick black smoke, and the occasional whimpering sounds make it even harder to sleep. Due to the natural barrier of Cenarius, it was safe here at night, but Xavier couldn't sleep.

Sitting alone on the dark rocky hill, looking at Ragnaros's castle glowing with golden light in the smoke and dust, I already felt a little uneasy in my heart. We finally came here, and memory kept reminding Xavier of the scene in Icecrown Fortress. The power of the flames burned the body of his beloved, and the uncontrollable scene left him frightened. He was afraid that the same tragedy would happen to him again. Xavier, who was lucky enough to survive the last battle in the Land of Fire, spent five years repairing his body.

The seeds of the World Tree gave him a new body, and he also gained the love of Ivina, who had been caring for his new body for five years. All this is hard-won, so I am even more afraid of losing it. Any tree will be afraid of flames, even the World Tree is no exception. When he came here, there was a faint shadow hanging over Xavier's heart, as if the fear of death was approaching all the time.

The dark shadow in his heart that could not be erased seemed to return to his body again with the meeting with C'Thun. Although Xavier knew it was an illusion, he still couldn't help but start to doubt himself. At this moment, a voice made Xavier end this doubt,"Split up and I will always follow you. Remember, no matter what happens, you must stick to your own ideas. Hesitation and retreat will only make people lose more."

Xavier did not He turned back because the owner of this thick and hoarse voice had already arrived in front of him. It was a sturdy orc from Elunak, but he didn’t have a warhammer in his hand, and his cloth clothes didn’t match his strong body.

"Thank you for your comfort and relying on your protection. I suddenly feel useless, at least here. Xavier responded with a lazy smile, which contained a little helplessness."You have to face what you have to face. If you don't do anything because of fear, you will never be able to defeat yourself."""thanks for your encouragement. Xavier stood up and took a deep breath, as if the air with the smell of sulfur suddenly became fresher."Go to sleep, and leave tomorrow's affairs to yourself.""

After stretching, Xavier and Elunak returned to their barracks, and the deep night passed in the slowly thick smoke. When the red sun came down in the early morning, a new round of fighting began. It was not worth it. In the battle with the Fire King's army, there was no trace of the four Xaviers. While the hazy sky was not completely bright, the four people had already set off. They were divided into two groups, each heading in different directions. Moving forward.

Voss and Gidwin walked into a path wrapped in stalagmites. It was a quiet and peaceful path. Except for a few flame runners walking, it could be considered very quiet. But it was very quiet in the Land of Fire. place, which is a danger in itself

""Hey, there's a strange sound, a rustling sound," Gidwin shouted. Voss also heard the sound. It was a kind of strange sound made by metal rubbing gently on the rock. , but when I turned around, I couldn't see anything."How do I know? It's better to deal with it carefully. None of the monsters here are easy to deal with."" Voss looked around vigilantly and warned.

Gidwin nodded. At this moment, he agreed with Voss's view. Carrying the obsidian war hammer, he couldn't help but slow down a little. He walked all the way. The two men, who had slowed down their march, encountered nothing but two or three eyeless flaming runners. However, the road became increasingly rugged, with various forks and the increasingly darkening sky. The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

The color of the sky gradually darkened, and it was so quiet when it was supposed to be a hot day. This in itself was a danger. But Voss and Gidwin had no time to pay attention to this, because they finally We have reached the end of this rugged maze. It is an empty basin-like place, surrounded by the ashes of burned rocks. This is where Voss and Gidwin finally know the truth about the darkening sky. When they raised their heads When looking at the sky, the dense dark red spider webs covered the entire canyon. Because they were very similar to the color of the rocks, Voss and Gidwin never understood the truth about the darkening of the sky and the shocking thing in the narrow passage. The source of the irritating sound of metal friction.

But now they understood it too late. The dark red spider threads kept pulling down, and the black and red striped spiders began to gather over."Damn it, it's another nasty spider. Got it!"Gidwin couldn't help yelling. This scene reminded him of the spider cave that Xavier found in the Eastern Plaguelands. At that time, he could be said to be in the most embarrassing situation, and he was filled with venom by the spider. , and was tied up and wrapped in a cocoon. This memory made Gidwin hate spiders very much.

Voss was better. After all, he had experience fighting spiders in the Spider Zone of Naxxramas, and he pulled out his bow and arrows one by one. Arrows were fired at the approaching spiders. Each golden ray of light could take away the life of a spider, and each exploding spider would make a deafening sound of metal explosion. God knows what these spiders are made of. But in front of them Facing these endless spiders and watching the number of bows and arrows in his quiver decrease rapidly, Voss couldn't help but miss the magic bow Isodar. At this moment, Gidwin, who was wielding the warhammer, was already dizzy from these spiders. His brain was swollen, and the explosion made by the thick war hammer hitting the spider made his originally pitiful sanity completely collapse at this moment. He yelled loudly, jumped up high, swung the war hammer, and hit hard on the soft body covered with flames. On the ground. The broken rocky ground was instantly swallowed up by flames. The pillars of fire that continued to erupt from the ground turned the place into a sea of ​​flames. No spider could escape the devouring flames. Their black and red bodies melted in the flames. But Ji Devin seemed to be caught in the flames, and even his beloved golden beard tended to be ignited again.

Looking at the anxious Gidvenworth, he couldn't help but yelled,"You damn dwarf, you're doing this to us." There is no place to escape!"The agile Voss jumped onto the rough rock wall, reached out and took out the dagger on his leg and stabbed it into the rock wall so that he could hang firmly on the rock wall. At this moment, Gidwin also took out the mountain climbing tool from the magic bag. At the last moment when the flames spread around him, Hao climbed up the rough rock wall and was temporarily safe. Looking at the rolling sea of ​​lava below, Gidwin couldn't help but be shocked and broke into a cold sweat. If he moved slowly, At that point, Gidwin dared not think about what would happen next.

"what is that?"At this time, Voss seemed to have discovered something. His eyes were fixed on a dark red silk thread not far away, the threads used by spiders when they came down. Seeing these, he looked up at the gray spider web and suddenly wanted to understand something. Voss shouted hurriedly,"Hurry up and climb to the spider web!"There was no time to think too much. The rock wall that began to loosen in the hot flames could no longer support Voss and Gidwin for too long. However, Voss found an escape passage in time and immediately jumped with a scream. Go over.

Gidwin also wanted to imitate Voss, but the dwarf's motor nerves were too insensitive. He didn't catch the spider thread when he jumped and almost fell. Fortunately, Voss's hand caught Gidwin in time. Devin, looking at the red color under his feet, Devin couldn't help but think of the consequences if he fell.

"Thanks, I owe you one, I will make up for it next time."Gidwin's rough voice sounded extremely loud in this narrow basin and canyon. Voss rolled his eyes at him and said nothing, just climbed up alone. Gidwin, who was asking for trouble, could only Follow the climb up. There is an empty space above the spider web. Except for a place surrounded by red mist, the other scenery is clear.

Gidwin, who struggled to climb up, sat down on the spider web and gasped. ,"I'm so exhausted. I didn't expect these spider silks to be so smooth, but it's much more laborious than knocking those spiders." Voss still ignored Gidwin and just looked around. Suddenly he asked Gidwin,"Don't you think it's a bit too quiet up here? So many little spiders down here come down from here. Why is it so quiet up here?"

As soon as Voss reminded him, Gidwin also felt that something was not right, just like the trapped bugs in the spider web waiting to be preyed on by spiders, a horrible smell full of death came to his face. Stand up Jidwin, who was looking around, indeed saw a pair of blood-red eyes through the crimson mist that was the only thing he couldn't see through.
