Volume 8: The Road to the Ancient Dragon Chapter 419: An unexpected surprise
The two airships landed on a clearing at the edge of the jungle. This was a small hill at the foot of the Angolo Crater. It had a good view and flat terrain, making it very suitable as a temporary camp.
After Murphy landed and turned into a human form, he first counted the remaining troops. After the count, he couldn't help but sigh. In the inexplicable air battle just now, he lost more than a dozen Dragon Riders.
The cost of one of this thing is close to 20,000. With the current rising price of dragon eggs, it will only become more expensive. I really can't afford it.
Moreover, he doesn't have much money in his bank account now, only more than 2 million. If he wants to train again, he can only rely on the dragon eggs tributed by the Dragon Thunder Knight adventurers, which is a drop in the bucket.
It seems that I have to find a way to make some money when I have the chance in the future. This is only the third dragon, and there will be plenty of places to spend money in the future. How about selling the equipment that I don’t need?
He still has a plot weapon [Barbarian Ripper] in his bag that he hasn't sold yet. It should be able to sell for at least two or three million.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Emperor Shenwu suddenly pointed to the jungle in the distance and said, "It's still early, let's get started now."
It was indeed not completely dark yet, but after an afternoon of flying, the sun had already begun to sink into the opposite mountain range.
It would be dark in half an hour at most.
"Do you want to fight a night battle?" Murphy asked. He didn't feel any pressure about fighting at night. Dragons have night vision capabilities, and the night elves should have no problem either. However, the same cannot be said for dwarves. As for the centaurs, it is obviously not a wise behavior to gallop in the jungle in the middle of the night.
"No, it's just reconnaissance. We must make sure we can kill the dragon tomorrow. It would be best if we can get back to the camp in Feralas before dark tomorrow night. War could break out at any time, so the sooner we resolve things here, the better."
The Shenwu Emperor said seriously that although he said when he left that he trusted the Khans under him, he knew his subordinates very well and if a real war broke out, he would still need to command them personally.
It would be fun if the Dark Night Alliance collapsed due to his absence.
Murphy thought about it and nodded, "Okay, let's get started."
Of course we can’t send all of them out.
Murphy asked the dwarves to set up a camp nearby as a retreat.
The night elves were divided into teams of ten, conducting search and reconnaissance within a radius of several kilometers.
The Centaurs are fast and also work in teams of ten, conducting large-scale reconnaissance operations on the surrounding jungle.
Soon the team was organized and teams of ten were sent out to conduct reconnaissance.
Murphy and the others were not idle either. In addition to Hemit who was left to guard the camp, Morgan Lisa, Meng Meng Big Nai, Murphy and the Great Emperor also set out with a few guards. Several people slowly walked towards the depths of the jungle.
The Shenwu Emperor walked at the front of the team. It must be said that running on four legs is very convenient.
Murphy and the other two also summoned their mounts and struggled through the swamps and jungles.
The terrain inside the Angolo Crater is basically swamps and tropical rainforests, which is very difficult to walk on. Murphy regretted it after only walking for more than ten minutes.
It stands to reason that an ancient dragon would be difficult to hide given its huge size, but the Angolo Crater is so large that it is not easy to find it.
It's not a big deal to search bit by bit like this.
"Or I should fly into the air to conduct reconnaissance." Murphy suggested. The biggest disadvantage of doing so is that it would be easy for Ankara to discover it in advance and be prepared.
The Emperor Shenwu shook his head and said, "Don't be so impatient. I have a feeling that we may have an unexpected surprise tonight."
Murphy didn't take it seriously at first, but suddenly he realized that the Emperor Shenwu was the chosen one of the Mother Goddess of Earth. His premonition might not be just a literal premonition, but maybe it was some kind of prophetic spell?
"Did you find anything?"
"You'll find out soon enough ."
While they were talking, another swamp lake blocked their way. There were puddles of unknown depth everywhere in the Angolo Crater.
Several swamp crocodiles seemed to sense the threat and slowly sank into the swamp. Suddenly, a strange giant flying insect appeared out of nowhere and attacked everyone, but was killed instantly by Morgan Lisa's fireball.
"Are we really going to search on foot like this? This is so stupid," she complained.
"It's really stupid. It's not easy to find a dragon on horseback in such a large area." Meng Meng's big breasts also echoed.
The Shenwu Emperor leaped with all four hooves and landed steadily on the other side of the puddle. He suddenly saw a glimmer of fire in the darkness ahead.
"Look, here comes the surprise. "
When everyone got closer, they found that it was a bonfire, and there was a person sitting next to the fire.
To be exact, it was a woman, sitting by the fire, gnawing on a piece of alligator steak.
She was wearing an explorer's leather jacket, her wheat-colored skin looked very healthy, she had a fit body, her hair was purple, and her eyes shone slightly in the firelight.
The outfit is even more exquisite and fashionable, an explorer's leather armor suit, matched with several ancient elf-style accessories, like a fantasy version of Lara in Tomb Raider.
Morgan Lisa couldn't help but whistle.
What's going on? Murphy was also a little surprised. It was a bit strange to meet a beautiful woman who was traveling alone in such a wild jungle.
I glanced at the name above the man's head.
Simone (Suspicious Traveler): Explorer. Level 82.
There's a dog lying next to it.
Basque (Simone's pet) Level 76.
The man and the dog looked ordinary, but their ranks and names betrayed their extraordinary qualities.
And as a human being, he is actually a neutral unit, which is a bit subtle.
Seeing everyone, Simone also greeted them happily.
Simone (Suspicious Traveler): "Hey, good evening everyone, it's great to see some civilized faces in this treacherous jungle. Why don't you come to the fire? I just happened to have some alligator steaks grilled up. I guess you guys are still waiting for dinner."
Several people looked at each other, and then surrounded the enemy without making any noise.
After standing in the right position, Mengmeng with big breasts raised her hand and cast a holy light spell.
Detect evil!
Wherever the halo reached, Simone's head instantly turned a hostile bright red.
Simone (Suspicious Traveler): "Damned Holy Light believers, you asked for this." Her voice suddenly became sharp and piercing, horns grew on her head, wings grew on her back, hooves grew under her feet, and she instantly turned into a two-meter-tall demon.
Although her appearance has changed, her face is still the same. She is actually a succubus.
Her dog whimpered, dropped its disguise, and turned into a hellhound.
Look at the name again.
Simone (Forgotten Demon). Horror level BOSS level 3, level 82, HP 88500.
Oh my god, I'm so lucky that I encountered a lone wild BOSS.
The battle process was unremarkable. Facing four epic heroes, the demon had no power to resist and was seriously injured in just a few hits.
Murphy pressed the dragon-slaying sword against Simone's neck, but did not act immediately.
He didn't expect a BOSS of this level to drop anything good. Compared to the dropped items, he hoped to get some information. Although he didn't know why this succubus appeared here, he should be able to get some information about Ankara.
"Beautiful lady, can we chat?"
Simone (the forgotten demon): "Kill me if you want, human. Death means nothing to me. I will not submit to your inferior race."
This is true, the demon's body is in the twisting void, even if you kill her you will only make her leave the material world.
Fortunately, Murphy has his own way.
He calmly took out the Ring of Domination of Sargeras from his backpack and secretly put it on his hand.
"Haha, are you sure you don't have anything to say to me?"
Simone looked up at Murphy and felt dazed. The human prince in front of her suddenly exuded an aura that made her heart palpitate.
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, you can't even recognize me. You really disappoint me, Simone."
"Lord Sargeras? But how is this possible?"
"This human is just a shell of me. My true self is too powerful to enter this pathetic world. This is the only way I can understand the dynamics of my enemies. They are all mortal slaves under my control. Don't worry about them."
The Emperor Shenwu didn't say anything, but Mengmeng Big Breasts rolled her eyes.
Simone didn't doubt it and knelt at Murphy's feet.
"Oh, great Sargeras, please forgive my rudeness just now."
"Haha, don't worry about it. I am very satisfied with your loyalty. Now tell me, why are you here?"
Simone (the forgotten demon): "It all started with the War of the Ancients. After the War of the Ancients, the Legion was defeated and I was forgotten in this world. In order to continue the mission of the Burning Legion, I lay low. For ten thousand years, I have always wanted to continue serving the Legion..."
The more Murphy listened, the more surprised he became.
It turns out that after the Ancient War ten thousand years ago, the entire primordial continent was blown to pieces. Most of the Burning Legion that invaded Azeroth at that time ran back, but a small number of demons remained. They have been wandering on different continents for ten thousand years. Some of them were discovered and killed, but people like Simone were considered relatively successful.
That's pretty amazing. He lived for 10,000 years without dying. He's quite a talent.
"Did you find the dragon named Ankarad in Un'Goro Crater?"
"Yes, Master. I have seen it in the canyon near the volcano."
"Draw me the exact location."
Simone did so.
Murphy was quite happy when he looked at the markings on the map. This time he hit the target in one stroke and found the target location inexplicably.
I couldn't help but look at Emperor Shenwu. His 'premonition' was quite accurate.
At this time, Mengmeng Big Boobs and Morgan Lisa couldn't help but squeeze over to check it out.
This action immediately angered Simone, "Get out of here, you lowly mortals, and be aware of your status in front of the great master."
These words made Morgan Lisa and Mengmeng Big Boobs reveal a hint of murderous intent.
"Aidan, can we start now?"
Before Murphy could say anything, Simone noticed something was wrong.
Suddenly he raised his hand and cast a black cloud spell, then turned around and ran into the darkness in the distance.
Before the few people could make a move, a black shadow suddenly flashed in the darkness, followed by the sound of a knife entering flesh and the succubus's screams. A dagger pierced Simone's back and came out of her chest.
When Simone's body fell, the figure of an orc appeared in front of everyone.
A female orc.
The three of them almost started a fight.
The Emperor Shenwu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't be nervous, this is my subordinate - the assassin Garona."
Murphy looked at it carefully - Garona (Master Assassin): Epic Tier 2. Level 84, HP 9950.
It really is the Garona from history, Murphy thought, oh my god, the legendary orc assassin in the history of Warcraft - Garona, actually followed you.
His greatest achievement in history was killing King Llane under the control of Gul'dan. He was also a good friend of King Llane.
Later, in order to avenge King Llane, he hunted down the Shadow Council and the Twilight Clan alone, and almost killed all the orc warlocks of the Night Council.
The Twilight Clan had no way to deal with her at all. In the end, Gudan had to sell himself as bait to barely injure Garona. Then he ran away with the Twilight Clan, thus escaping Garona's pursuit.
Her other more famous identity is that she is the wife of Medivh. In the old history, she gave birth to a son with Medivh - Med'an, who is said to be the character of the savior Long Aotian and has the blood of multiple races including human, orc, draenei, etc.
It means that the BUFF is fully stacked.
Apart from her appearance, Garona in this timeline has not experienced the ups and downs of life at all, and still looks very "innocent".
The Emperor of God and Martial continued to explain: "Perhaps you haven't noticed, but she has actually been protecting me in secret. Please relax, Garona. They are not enemies."
Garona put away the dagger, but there was still vigilance in her eyes.
Murphy laughed in his heart, we have been following him, but we didn't notice that the Emperor Shenwu was showing his strength cleverly.
However, it is a bit scary to think that such a super assassin has been following you and no one noticed him.
Morgan lisa and cute big tits, but already running towards the body falling.
"Let me see what's good."
"I want her boots."
"That necklace is so beautiful, mine, mine."
The two girls started dividing the loot right away.
Murphy...
The Great Emperor Shenwu...
Garona...
Fortunately, these two people also know the rules. Even if the items are dropped by a low-level BOSS, they cannot just blackmail them.
Actually, there is nothing good about it. Simone is wearing a Devil's Rex suit.
Devilsaur leather boots, Devilsaur leather armor, Devilsaur leggings...
Because it was a plot, a lot of people were killed, but unfortunately there were only two items of real value, a skill book and a dagger.
The rest are nice-looking, but they are just blue quality.
But the two girls didn't care about that. They each chose two pieces and were very happy.
Instead, he kept the skill book and dagger.
Murphy waved his hand helplessly, "You guys pick first."
"Then let's take the dagger." The Emperor Shenwu looked down on these and let Garona take the dagger.
"Then I'll just take the skill book."
Murphy took it and took a look, and was surprised to find that he could actually learn it.
