Chapter 649 24. The Advance Base of the Crater Mountain
The southernmost tip of Kalimdor's continent is basically covered by desert, and beyond the desert is the endless golden sea area of the South China Sea. According to normal geographical activities, it is difficult for areas near the sea to form such a large-scale Great desert, but it just happened...
It can only be said that the division of the continent of Azeroth cannot be judged by common sense. There must be special reasons behind this abnormal ecological environment.
And along the Silithus Desert to the north, there is a mysterious and weird basin, the area of which is equivalent to the area of the entire western wilderness, and further north in the basin is Fira, which is controlled by the night elves. Wilderness.
According to normal geographical activities, this basin should not have appeared...
This is called Un'Goro Crater. Although it is adjacent to the Silithus Desert, this crater is blocked by a tall mountain wall, so the harsh climate of the desert does not affect the climate of the Crater Basin. This is an inaccessible place. , even the night elves who nominally ruled the entire Kalimdor didn't get too involved in this basin.
And there are many legends about this basin in Gadgetzan, the commercial city of the goblins. The most surprising thing about this basin is...its vegetation coverage has reached an astonishing 95%. In this humid basin There are also many tall trees and plants growing like clouds, as well as mud swamps, hot springs, weathered sandstone areas, and an active small volcano.
These fundamentally irrelevant geographical structures are located in this basin according to certain rules. Needless to say, this is certainly not the result of natural evolution.
What is even more surprising is that in this resource-rich basin, there are still some ferocious monsters that are hard to see in other parts of the mainland... Devilsaur!
This is a dinosaur monster similar to Tyrannosaurus rex, but larger and more ferocious. Their cubs can grow to a height of 3 meters, while adult Devilsaur can easily exceed 7 meters and weigh Reaching several tons, the tough skin is covered with fine scales, like steel, and there are sharp bony spurs growing on the back of Devilsaur. Their terrifying sharp teeth and big mouth have terrible bite force, which can easily Bite the steel.
There is a whole group of such powerful monsters in Un'Goro Crater, and they are the top predators in this basin... It is said that in the remote South Sea Islands, those islands occupied by Zandalari trolls also have devil storms The existence of the dragon population, the trolls of the Zandalari Empire also tamed Devilsaur to fight, and there are more Devilsaur there than the Devilsaur in the crater... That is the real birthplace of Devilsaur.
In other words, the Devilsaur in the crater is also not the original species here, but more like it was "transferred" here by some guys.
"Actually, according to the knowledgeable Lord Orfa, he came to a strange conclusion after investigating the crater for several months."
The patriarch Moyana accompanied a "guest" and walked on the natural grassland overgrown with flowers and birds on the crater mountain. She looked at the lazily basking in the sun in the mud not far away, which was similar to a crocodile, but bigger and stronger. Fierce Dipsaurus, she said softly:
"Your Excellency the Jing Whisperer believes that all the species in the crater are alien... Some unknown forces put these alien species here and used their mighty power to create a weird ecological environment for these species. A food chain that cannot exist here is formed here... and the existence of this food chain is maintained in a closed environment, but this is likely to be hundreds of thousands of years ago."
"This crater is abnormal, it is equivalent to a cage... No, the term "cage" is not very accurate, it is more like..."
"A biological observation laboratory!"
The "guest" walking in front of Moyana reached out and stroked the ancient stone wall in front of him. On the moss-covered stone wall, there were traces that had been weathered by time, and no one knew the meaning of these traces.
Tyrion looked at the Titan texts lost in time, and there was a special light in his ice blue eyes:
"Un'Goro Crater is one of the biological observation laboratories left by the Titans in this world. If your people continue to explore the mountains in the north, you will find a tall bridge connecting the two laboratories between the mountains. "Boundary Gate", after activating the three crystal towers hidden in the crater, you can go to another ecological laboratory far away in the Northrend continent through the boundary gate... that is also a land full of natural forces. basin."
When the great lord turned his head, he saw the patriarch Moyana quickly recording the information that Tyrion said casually in his notebook.
"Sometimes I can't help but think, Lord Tyrion, how do you know this precious knowledge from prehistoric times?"
After the Patriarch finished recording the crucial news for Blightcaller, she looked up at Tyrion, her green eyes sparkled with curiosity, exploration and doubt:
"If you knew this a long time ago, why didn't you let the dark blade explore, but gave us these precious resources? And, why did you insist on keeping the Blightcaller neutral? You gave us so much just to let Are we becoming a third-party organization?"
"hehe"
To Moyana's question, the great lord smiled dumbly. He didn't answer directly, but looked at the mountains in the distance. Behind the mountains was the desolate desert, the final battlefield of the War of the Insects.
After a while, he said:
"Just as us mortals can't understand why the former Titan left these biological samples here, you don't have to explore the meaning behind every decision I make...I need you to remain neutral, that's all."
The lord's answer made Moyana purse her lips. Obviously, this was a faint warning. Thinking back to what the lord had done to human civilization, the patriarch suddenly felt that he should not delve into the big man in front of him. Mind as well.
"So, the advance base of the so-called anti-worm front is located in the crater?"
Tyrion asked again, and the Patriarch behind him nodded and explained in detail:
"The battle in the Tanaris Desert has come to an end. The insects who lost the command of the brain worms are fighting on their own. They have now been separated. Some Sandfury trolls have also joined the anti-insect frontline, relying on the Sandfury trolls With a huge number, the remaining bugs will be divided and wiped out soon. This victory inspired all members of the front, and with my father's warning, the commander of the anti-bug front decided to build a forward base here. "
"They will open the road from the crater to the desert, and then connect the Cenarion Fortress with the Marshall Camp under construction. More precisely, this place will become the logistics supply line for the frontline soldiers, as well as the station for the wounded and reserve troops .”
The patriarch said with some concern:
"But even with the victory of Tanaris ahead, I and the other Archdruids still think that with the current forces of the anti-worm front, it is still too weak to confront the Qiraji head-on. How much it has affected the judgment of the commanders, I even suspect that the bugs deliberately lost Tanaris to let our soldiers relax their vigilance."
Regarding Moyana's statement, the great lord was noncommittal. Is the coalition army too confident? Is it underestimating the bug people? These are not things he needs to pay attention to. The army was annihilated, and the great lord didn't take it seriously. He came here today for another matter.
"Take this!"
The great lord handed a fine Apexis crystal pendant engraved with many necromantic runes to the chief patriarch, and he said in a deep voice:
"I promised you and Staghelmet to revive Vastanen for you. I have never forgotten my promise. After you enter the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj, I will place this positioning stone in the territory of the Insect Empire. I will go there myself, and bring back poor Valstein's soul from that dark abyss."
"After that, whether to revive your husband with our means, or to reshape his body in the Emerald Holy Land's dream with your own hands, that is the choice you need to make..."
Hearing what the great lord said, the great patriarch Moyana immediately held the cold pendant firmly in her hand. She never thought that several years had passed, and the great lord still remembered the agreement back then. The boss personally took action, and just this kind of action made her feel the sincerity of the great lord, so after a few deep breaths, the great patriarch raised his head and looked at Tyrion seriously:
"Then, Your Excellency the Great Lord, what will the Blightcaller pay for this?"
"Pay? No."
Tyrion snapped his fingers, and the black gate of the Realm of Death mixed with a blue halo opened in front of his eyes. Under the cold wind of the Realm of Death, the Patriarch took several steps back quickly. The power belonging to the undead world may be harmless to Tyrion, but for a living like her, it is simply the cold that seeps into the soul.
Tyrion's long gray hair was flying in the storm of the spirit world. He looked back at Myana:
"The original agreement was that you would serve me, and I would resurrect your loved ones for you, and now you are already serving me...so the remaining ones are the promises I should fulfill."
"But if you really feel that your conscience is disturbed, then tell Ansu who has been restless for a while... Tell my old friend that I may need it to do a few trivial things for me recently... "
After finishing speaking, the figure of the great lord stepped into the world rift in front of him. Moyana seemed to remember something. She stepped forward and asked loudly:
"Lord, about the resurrection of Rukhmar..."
"This kind of trivial matter, you can decide for yourself!"
Tyrion dropped a sentence, and his figure and the cracks in the world of death suddenly dissipated at this moment. After the little ghost Yuna got the teddy bear Nur, this kind of cracks that can be opened in the world, for For rushing and teleportation, it's really easy to use... and this rift is safer than any teleportation spell in Azeroth.
After watching the great lord leave, the great patriarch stood there for a few minutes to calm down his emotions, and then walked out of this remote dense forest. She raised her hand, and a green halo spread along the overgrown vines, In less than 10 seconds, a Lin Jing guard riding on the back of the Velociraptor quickly appeared in front of the Patriarch.
For druids who specialize in nature and affinity, the fierce and violent velociraptor army in Un'Goro Crater is a natural ally. Even those devilsaurs that are so powerful that they are almost invincible can survive with sufficient food and natural energy. And lured by the druids' specialized beast language, they appeared as the Blightcaller's war machine.
After all, they are just a group of powerful beasts.
"Pass these instructions to Your Excellency Orfa."
After the Patriarch said something, the Lin Jing guard riding on the velociraptor immediately nodded, took out a recording crystal from behind, and handed it to the Patriarch.
"Immediately send an elite exploration team to explore the northern part of the mountains. With the blessing of the power of nature, I have solved the mystery of this place. I must find the ancient things that are extremely important to the Blightcaller in the shortest possible time... Boundary gate."
"Immediately invite scholars who have the most research on ancient relics across the entire continent to restore the three crystal towers in the crater to normal operation in the shortest possible time."
"And an invitation to the commanders of the anti-worm front. The construction of the Marshall camp has come to an end. We welcome natural allies and fearless fighters to the Un'Goro Crater! In addition, the wild boar druid and tauren druid The speed of Yi's recruitment must be accelerated, and the Blightcaller will come forward to recruit enough fighters from the wild boar tribe... Regarding this order, we have already obtained the permission of Lord Agamaggan, so there is no need to worry, just go ahead and do it!"
The Patriarch glanced at the Apexis crystal pendant in her hand, and her voice became much firmer:
"We don't have much time to waste. We must open the Scarab Wall as quickly as possible and enter the ruins of Qiraji..."

At the same time, in the distant world of Draenor, in a side hall of the Dark Temple, the death lord Yrel was humming and wagging his tail while arranging his clothes, and the girls of Dornan were beside him help.
Yrel has received a transfer order, and she will lead her army to the continent of Draenor in the next few days. The dark blade's punishment war against the human empire has come to an end, and the topographical exploration of the Borean tundra has also ended. The next stage of the war The prelude is about to kick off, and Yrel, who has been idle for a long time, finally has something to do.
"Hey, why is there a garland here?"
Dornan the Little Hoof picked up a faded and shriveled wreath from Yrel's strange collection, and looked at it over and over in his hands. This wreath was obviously Yrel's favorite thing, even after it faded , was also carefully frozen by the death lord with ice to prevent it from withering.
Dornan put the wreath on his head in a funny way, and it looked very beautiful.
"This, this is very commemorative."
Yrel picked up the garland from Dornan's head and looked at it before her eyes. She said to Dornan with nostalgia:
"This is the place where I was born. It is left by the first settlers of Anboli Village. It has been more than 200 years ago. My ancestors established the first city of the Draenei in Shadowmoon Valley. It is said that this wreath is Compiled on the day the city was founded, you see, there are words on it..."
"Wow! Is it so powerful?"
Dornan took the garland with great interest, and looked at it in front of his eyes. Sure enough, on the wooden frame of the garland, there was a line of inaudible words:
"The most difficult years have passed, and a better life is about to begin...May you be well in the heaven of the Holy Light, our most missed daughter...Little Yuna..."
"Wait... Yuna?"
