Warcraft novel series

"It's strange, why did those insect monsters give up the pursuit?"Chen muttered, trying to follow the footsteps of his brother and sister-in-law. But in this quiet space, even if they were several meters apart, they would not be able to see each other at all. Chen, who suddenly couldn't hear the voices of his brother and sister-in-law, suddenly raised his voice. Be alert.

Chen picked up a mantid curved sword and leaned against the wall to touch it step by step. He was extremely vigilant in his heart. In that ink-like darkness, no one could be too careful, but even if No matter how careful you are, danger will still come. A little light lit up in the darkness, and a sharp sword stabbed Chen. He parried and fell silent again after a burst of sparks. But this was not the end. The assassination in the darkness would never stop. For This kind of invisible enemy, you never know when he will appear again next time.

Facing such an opponent, Chen decided to run. Even if this will expose more flaws, it is definitely better than staying still. Chen You should be grateful to your luck. After escaping three raids, the ink-like darkness gradually dissipated. The long and narrow tunnel became wider, and various dead amber worms acted as lighting tools here, making this pitch black place. There was some light in the underground space. The amber light showed the figure of the assassin. It was a mantid with a narrow body. Obviously, he was different from those mantids who were soldiers. He had more exquisite skills and sharpness. eyes

"You can't go any further. That's not where you, a panda, should be. If you choose to leave, I will consider letting you go."This was the first direct communication with the mantid, and Chen did not expect that the mantid could actually communicate. But this still did not change Chen's willingness to move forward, and at the same time, he never believed that the mantid had such good intentions."I I can’t promise you that I won’t leave until I find my brother and sister-in-law. No matter how much I pay, I won’t stop."

"cost? I'm afraid you can't afford the consequences of being willful."The mantid, who was stroking the long and narrow sword quietly, looked at Chen gloomily, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. The moment the voice just fell to the ground, the mantid took action, and with such swiftness as the wind, Chen was completely helpless. In the space for reaction, the gloomy sharp blade drew a bolt of lightning and rushed towards Chen Stormstout.

But Chen, who raised his curved sword to block, felt a pain in his arm, and a bright red blood had stained his clothes."Stupid" With your speed and poor reflexes, you are not worthy of being my opponent Pandaren."The mantid's voice in the wind was like a dream, but the pain still made Chen faintly feel the gap in their speed and skills. Chen wielded the curved sword and tried to make his defense unbreakable, like the momentum of a fierce storm. In the eyes of the nameless mantid, it was like a blind man dancing with a sword, with flaws everywhere. More and more wounds made Chen's consciousness gradually blur.

"This must not continue!"Chen's heart kept shouting, and Chen resolutely rushed towards the place guarded by the mantid. Anyway, he was going to die, so he might as well be a sensible person. With this idea, Chen Zaisheng was lucky enough to carry the mantid with his hard work. After a few swords, he rushed to a waterfall. How could there be a waterfall in the cave? This should have been a problem, but here it really appeared. A pool of water was crystal clear, and the waterfall flowing down seemed to be It appeared out of thin air. He has no source, but he can produce flowing water. At this moment, Chen plunged into the flowing water. The cold flowing water can stimulate his vague consciousness, but the mantid is afraid of water sources and they never go near the flowing water.

Sure enough, The mantid retreated after Chen entered the water source. Maybe it would be better for him to stay and guard, but something frightened him. After a brief hesitation, he chose to retreat and disappeared without a trace. Chen also got a chance to breathe. The crystal clear water took away Chen's pain and healed Chen's wounds. The power of this strange spring water was beyond Chen's imagination. His power carried the flavor of life. There seems to be a mother's warmth

"Hello, pandaren, I am the messenger of the flowing waters of Imosus."The flowing water that washed Chen's wounds slowly gathered into a humanoid creature. At the same time, a barrier of flowing water also appeared outside Chen and this place called Imosus.

"Messenger of flowing water? Who are these mantids to look after?"Chen couldn't figure it out for a while, but Imosus, who seemed to see Chen's confusion, gave the answer."Whether it's a mantid, a panda, or any other race, it has nothing to do with me. I am the messenger of flowing water and the patron saint of Pandaria's water sources. My real body is in the Holy Pool of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms located in the core of this continent. What you see is just one of my countless clones."

"Did the mantid leave because he was afraid of you?"Chen still couldn't see the mantid through the barrier of flowing water."No, the thing he wants to protect is not here, so there is no need for him to follow you. Liushui treats every race equally, and the mantid is afraid of What you see is what you really look like after your soul is washed by running water. The return of Imosus made Chen even more confused,"What's really going on, what kind of secrets do they have.""The secret that Chen Chen was thinking about was obviously something that even Imosus couldn't answer. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell it, but that he couldn't."That is a huge and evil force. Even mentioning his name will affect my purity. , but I hope you remember that if you visit Pandaria again, you can end the nightmare that affects this land."

"Can I?" Chen obviously didn't believe that he had such an ability, but he had to believe in himself, because when Chen raised this question, Imosus had already disappeared, along with the flowing water, which also made Chen forget The most important question is that his brother and sister-in-law still don't know where they are so that he must continue to search.

Liu Shui restored Chen's experience, and Chen, who continued to move forward along this road shining with amber light, soon... He quickly arrived at an altar, which was an altar of corpses. A black heart was placed in the center of the altar. There were two pandas tied to both sides of the altar. Their heads were covered with cloth so that Chen could not tell them apart. Their appearance, but at least judging from their resistance movements, they are still alive, and the mantid that retreated before is here waiting for Chen's arrival

"Come back as soon as I know. This place is spacious enough. Let's finish the unfinished business."A bright blue dagger reflected a fantasy color under the dim amber light. But Mantid seemed to be talking more at this moment, and he was just heard murmuring,"This is where the corpse of the ancient god we worship is located. A storage location, and your arrival obviously disturbed my master's rest. But if a living sacrifice is offered, the master will be very happy."Glancing at the two trapped pandaren, this mantid who was boring to watch continued,"In addition, if you defeat me, you can also take these two pandas away. If not, you can sacrifice three living sacrifices. The owner should be satisfied."

Being used as a sacrifice obviously makes Chen feel uncomfortable, but there is no way. In this world where only the strong have the right to speak, the weak can only be forced to obey and accept. The battle started without any suspense. After a brief confrontation Chen then made a bold decision. He dropped the already damaged curved sword and faced the mantid in front of him with his bare hands, causing him countless injuries.

"Your courage is commendable, but it's a pity that you don't have a good brain. How can you defeat me without weapons?"The arrogant mantid roared loudly and expressed his views completely like a superior. His swift figure was like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky in this dim space, gorgeous and a bit fierce at the same time. Killing intent.

But Chen didn't seem to care about this. He closed his eyes and felt with his heart. He still remembered the teachings from Master Shang Xi,"Since the eyes can't see and the ears can't hear, just feel with your heart, integrate with the earth, and integrate yourself with the earth." Become part of nature."Chen, who closed his eyes, felt the malice permeating the air. This land was refusing to communicate, groaning and roaring with a little twist. But Chen didn't care about this. He could also feel the different directions through the flow of the wind. The enemy is approaching.

The wind has no fixed form and no preference. No one can change the definition of wind except the elemental lord of wind. Chen felt a burst of sad malice in the flowing air. The mantid's sword carried the strong smell of blood, which made Chen able to You can better capture his movements without using your eyes. He lowers his head to dodge, dodge, and jump up. Like a lost phantom, Chen moves freely in the sword light, but he can avoid harming himself in danger.

Such skills obviously angered the Mantid Swordsman, and the increasingly crazy attacks caused a crack in his original speed advantage. He couldn't figure out how the Pandaren who had been tortured by him could see through his own swordsmanship in such a short time. After that lofty sense of superiority was shattered, what was left was slow anger.

Anger will make you lose your reason, and fighting without reason is the beginning of failure. When Chen Gangyi's fist hit the mantid sword like a sack, When he was a warrior, this arrogant and complacent mantid finally sought the bitter consequences of his arrogance. The broken carapace, accompanied by the body that flew far away, hit the ground heavily. The price of sacrificing defense for more agile speed was that it could not withstand Chen A punch.

Chen opened his eyes and looked at the world again with a little more clarity. Chen quickly bypassed the black heart on the altar and quickly came to the side of the two pandas who were used as sacrifices. When he When he took off the hoods of the two pandaren, as expected, they were his brother and sister-in-law. Chen, who quickly untied his brother and sister-in-law without hesitation, found that both of them fell into a state of confusion to varying degrees. , seems to be affected by a kind of spiritual magic, and what worries Chen more is the dark color of the heart. The throbbing from him from time to time makes Chen feel chills.

But at this moment, Chen can't care about it anymore. Chen, who was worried about his brother and sister-in-law, decided to leave this ghost place that made him feel uncomfortable. But at some point, the dimly lit hall began to be shrouded in fog. He lost his direction. With two pandas who were about the same weight as himself, Chen's steps began to stagger a little.

"Why did I feel like I was stuck in place after walking for a long time?"Chen couldn't help mumbling. He had indeed walked for an unknown amount of time, but Chen still felt that he had not escaped from the misty darkness, and the feeling of sleepiness and exhaustion all over his body made him want to leave his brother and sister-in-law behind, as if they were at this moment. It has become a burden on Chen Qianjin’s journey

"When you are tired, put down those baggage and you can escape from here. Wouldn't it be relaxing and happy?"A weird voice echoed directly in Chen's mind."I absolutely won't!"Chen roared angrily, trying to get rid of the bewitching voice. Unfortunately, this voice directly affected Chen's judgment through the brain. The repeated tone drove Chen into complete madness. When his willpower reached its lowest point, he finally After giving up those two bodies called burdens, a kind of indifferent feeling of guilt only surged up for a moment and was replaced by an inexplicable sense of relief. A nightmare is a nightmare after all, but sitting in front of the mirror and watching everything happening in front of me But he was still awake after all. Sitting in front of the mirror, Chen looked at the plays he performed, and the memories of the past were brought up again and again."How did you miss me at that time? I left my brother behind." Don’t you feel very guilty after escaping and living a miserable life till now?"That is the voice of fear. The owner of the voice is the Evil of Fear. The projection on the Fountain of Life begins to affect the dreams of Chen and the others.

Nightmares after nightmares are destroying the hearts of the three of them, and the last thing Chen wants to remember isBeing ridiculed by the evil spirit of fear, how could this prevent him from being angry? But Chen held back not because he didn't care, but anger and fear would only deepen the power of the illusory monster in front of him."A dream, this is destined to be just a dream. This place has never appeared in my memory." Chen responded calmly facing a purple crystal mirror,"It is true that my brother and sister-in-law disappeared in fear of the wasteland. I It is true that a person returned to his hometown alone. But this is not an escape. Instead of dying worthless, the news I brought back to my hometown is more meaningful to let more panda people know that the existence of my hometown is more meaningful."

Chen's determination and courage seem to be more It was confirmed that the confused figure in front of him was this crazy executioner. Although he could not kill people, a guy who made a living by creating fear could not be said to be kind."Dream, are you looking down on dreams? If you have the opportunity to really come into contact with dreams, you will know how scary dreams are. Sometimes dreams are more real than reality, and they will reflect the future that you don't know." Chen did not answer , but focused on what happened in the crystal mirror.

Because Chen interrupted the story, it obviously entered another development. Chen and his brother were fighting to the death in the Valley of the Four Winds. Obviously this was not a good plot. But Chen still persisted and finished watching this brainless farce.

"How about a good plot? It's exciting to see the depressed look in your eyes when you kill your brother. Isn't the little evil in your heart very satisfied?"That kind of voice sounded distorted and perverted to Chen's ears, but Chen still did not refute. Refutation was meaningless. Neither fists nor words could give him a chance to escape from this intangible material guy.

But at least there was something about Chen It is clear that this power comes from the Sha of Fear. The spread of fear has begun to erode the Titan's divine body. Although I don't know what the use of letting myself have nightmares is, it is obvious that the power of dreams can provide energy to the Sha of Fear. So how to stop it All this has become a solution for Cheng, and obviously he has no corresponding solution yet.

"It must be very exciting to watch yourself being killed countless times, or killing someone close to you. Let fear become instinct, and you can do better!"The bewitching tone made Chen feel nauseous. He decided not to sit still and wait for death. Chen stood up suddenly and rushed towards the mirror. Without the hard collision as imagined, a flow of water penetrated him. Chen successfully entered the world in the mirror.. But it seems that this is what Fear of Evil wants to see,"You made a stupid decision and entered the world of nightmares, and you are destined to be swallowed by nightmares."
