Chapter 850 49. Zul. Searching
The majestic Kun-Lai Mountains is the largest and most mysterious mountain range in Pandaria. There are countless mysterious valleys in this snow-capped mountain. It is said that in the inheritance of the Mogu Empire, Kun-Lai Mountain has always been the final destination of the Mogu emperors. According to the Pandaren According to the records of lorewalkers, there are at least 7 tombs of Mogu emperors hidden in this mountain range.
Even the tomb of the legendary emperor of the Mogu, the Thunder King who once pacified the entire Pandaria by himself, is hidden among the thousands of kilometers of mountains.
It is very dangerous here, and even the bravest pandaren explorers dare not go too deep into it. It is said that there are still many descendants of the Mogu Empire in Kun-Lai Mountains. The mogu emperors left behind guards to guard the mausoleum. These huge and terrifying creatures would kill any outsiders who dared to step into the holy land without hesitation.
And now, the High Lord is standing on the highest peak of Kun-Lai Mountains. On the top of the Endless Mountains, Tyrion looks at the narrow and long mountain stream in the southeast of Kun-Lai Mountains. In his excellent vision, he can see some dots The Zandalari trolls are active in that valley.
"These trolls seem to know what they're up to."
Behind Tyrion, Shadow reported softly:
"I've been monitoring them here for several days. After these trolls landed from the coast of Kun-Lai Mountains, they didn't stop at all, and they didn't hesitate. They crossed the snow-capped mountains and headed straight for that mountain stream... If I didn't guess If they are wrong, that should be their destination, that is, the mausoleum they are looking for, the mysterious tomb of the Thunder King."
Having said that, there was a hint of curiosity in Shadow's voice:
"But what surprised me was why the legendary Thunder King would tell these Zandalari trolls the location of his mausoleum, and he didn't even want to tell his own people. As far as I know, In the culture of Pandaria, the emperor's tomb is the biggest and most important secret of an emperor."
"Because he doesn't trust his people, he knows better than anyone else the greed in the mogu's heart, especially when Thor has the power to fight against the whole world, he is afraid that after his death, those subordinates who once obeyed his majesty Will dig up his coffin, desecrate his corpse, take away the source of his power..."
The great lord stretched out his fingers, feeling the cold temperature on the top of the Endless Mountain, and said in a low voice:
"But the Zandalari trolls, more than 10,000 years ago, these trolls shared with him the secrets of both parties. Thor taught the Zandalar to use arcane and magic, and the Zandalari trolls reciprocated and taught them secrets. The soul spells of the gods were handed over to the god of thunder, and they agreed with each other... The descendants of Zandalari will help the thunder king resurrect, and at that time, the thunder king will share this world with them..."
"The trust between the two parties is based on common interests. For an emperor like Thunder God, this kind of covenant formed out of interests is more trustworthy than the shackles of blood. Probably all emperors have this idea. .”
Shadow was even more confused by Tyrion's explanation, and she asked again:
"Then, isn't Thor worried about these Zandalari trolls stealing his power?"
"He needn't worry."
The great lord shook his head:
"Trolls can't use that kind of power. It's a power that only the blood of the Titans can use. Of course, Thor will definitely not trust these trolls without reservation. I guess, he must have left some special countermeasures Bar."
"All right."
Shadow felt bored, she no longer pursued this question, instead, she diverted the conversation to the other side:
"My mission here is over. If there is no other mission, I will go directly to Uldum. Maiev and other agents have already laid a net there, just waiting for those ignorant prey to enter the net."
"No! There is still a task for you."
The great lord raised up the staff of the dragon mist in his hand, and let the white prayer flag filled with the words of the soul float in the air. Amid the sound of the sapphire bell, Tyrion looked to the south:
"Although the century-old reincarnation of the mantid and the pandaren fits well with this war, I can always feel that there must be some black hands behind this war, maybe some of our "old friends" who are unwilling to be lonely, Na Sa, take your agents to the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, the Heart of Darkness is just under the Mogu Emperor's palace, but don't act rashly! When I finish handling the matters here, I will go to join you."
He looked back at his subordinates, and he emphasized his tone:
"The last Sha of Pandaria, said to be the most powerful Sha of Pride, has not yet appeared. I need a "sacrifice" to draw it out of the Heart of Darkness, but that is not you! Understand? If the black hand wants to If he wants to touch the heart of darkness under our noses, then he must endure this suffering!"
"So, if there really is a mastermind behind the scenes, our task is to..."
Shadow shrugged:
"Watch him to die?"
"Well, this statement is a bit interesting."
Tyrion chuckled lightly:
"But it is true. After that black hand is infected by Sha energy, and after he releases the entity of the Sha of Pride, we can "take" our spoils from him. Since someone is impatient Going to die, why should we stop it?"
"Well, I see."
Shadow nodded, and when she was about to leave, she thought of another thing, and she asked:
"The weird bugs that have appeared in the Kasarang Forest in recent days, don't we need to intervene?"
"No, we don't interfere."
The great lord stretched out his finger, and flicked the swinging bell on the staff in his hand, he said:
"The Blightcaller sect told me swearingly that they will bring the mantid into the neutral camp that protects the world. Since they are so confident, why not give them a chance to show themselves?"
"I personally look forward to the reappearance of the ancient Yaqir empire in this world. Of course, it will no longer be the servant of the ancient gods, it must become a sharp sword in our hands! At that time, the demons will come If they want to fight us again in a quantitative war... tsk tsk, they will definitely be surprised by this."
"Go, Nasa, patrol the Valley of Eternal Blossoms for me... and I, I'm going to have a good chat with my troll "friends", about Zandalar, about loa, and finally, about my dear "Brother-in-arms", Bwonsamdi..."

"It's here! The Tomb of the Conqueror!"
Guarded by the mighty Zandalari Golden Sword Guards, Dark Prophet Zul and Zandalari Princess Talanji walk in underground caves in the southeastern mountain stream of Mount Kun-Lai.
This cave obviously has traces of man-made excavation. The surroundings of the cave are covered with gorgeous floor tiles and filled with all kinds of shocking works of art. Even the most ordinary bricks and wood are inlaid with gold and jade. It is an exaggeratedly astonishing treasure house, but it contains very dangerous threats.
In front of the Dark Prophet and Princess Talanji, on both sides of the road leading to the mausoleum, the silent golden sword guards have cleaned up the corpses of a dozen companions. These brave sword guards are all victims. They died in the Among the various weird traps hidden underground in this ancient mausoleum.
In the inheritance of the Mogu Empire, the emperor's mausoleum is always full of dangerous and deadly traps. This is to guard against shameless tomb robbers, and also to symbolize the emperor's ability to control "death" even after death. majesty.
"Follow me!"
Leaning on his staff, the Dark Prophet whispered:
"Don't make a mistake! In this place, a wrong step is fatal..."
While talking, Zuer closed his eyes, took a step forward, and then took a second step. His steps showed no signs, but every time his feet landed, he would not touch the insane traps under these gorgeous floor tiles, but Princess Talanji, who is familiar with the dark prophet's ability, followed Zuer obediently at this moment, almost following the road ahead of Zuer, passing through the land full of traps without any danger.
"Is this the burial place of the Thunder King?"
The troll princess looked around at the decorations in the deepest tomb. Even in terms of Her Royal Highness's picky aesthetics, the layout here is perfect. The conqueror from ancient times engraved the story of his life on the white jade stone tablet , Distributed around the tomb, there are several vividly carved eccentric beasts guarding the emperor's sarcophagus.
Those ferocious beasts are like lions, but they have no tails. They are covered with mighty armor, and their sharp teeth are enough to make anyone frightened.
"That's Quilin, the mogu's favorite pet and war beast. Like them, they came from the rocks, and they are also the symbol of the mogu emperors... As for this place..."
The Dark Prophet shook his head, he walked forward in a respectful gesture, and he whispered:
"This is not the place where Thor is buried. This is just his mausoleum. Even when the ancient conqueror died, he was buried with great vigor. A whole piece of the most beautiful land in the world was buried for him, but he did not die of his own. On the territory, in fact, the place where he died is still thousands of miles away from here, but after his death, the loyal generals and guards sent his bones back here."
"do not move!"
The Dark Prophet suddenly yelled, startling Princess Talanji who was trying to touch the mighty Quilin stone sculpture behind her, but the moment the princess turned her head, the stone sculpture several meters high in front of her was like As if he had come to life, that Quilin's eyes shone with blue light. This stone ancient beast actually woke up at this moment!
"Aw!"
A deep roar seemed to wake up the sleeping guards. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the walls around the tomb burst open. Those tall rock mogu soldiers, each 5 meters high, held weapons like a Like ten thousand years ago, he stepped out with neat steps and surrounded the invaders who dared to break into the emperor's tomb from all directions.
This is the first time that the legendary mogu have appeared in front of the trolls. These huge and strong beings have a rock-like body. They are like enlarged versions of humans, but they have recurved legs. The face is like a piece of stone carving, full of a strange feeling, the eyes, the sharp ears, and the square cheeks seem to be carved out of a mold.
Even though more than 10,000 years have passed, the mogu of these rocks have not faded in the slightest in time. They still retain the powerful force they had when they fought with the emperor in all directions. Guards, like little men surrounded by a horde of monstrous giants.
"You child..."
Zul stared helplessly at Princess Talanji with slightly red cheeks. The old troll yelled at the sword guards who had drawn out their weapons. He tremblingly took out an ancient scroll from his waist pocket, held it up In the air, he shouted in low mogu:
"Our allies from 13,000 years ago have returned! Let us fulfill our covenant with the great Emperor Lei Shen!"
"We will resurrect your emperor!"
Maybe it was Zuul's explanation, maybe it was because of the scroll in his hand that was stamped with the seal of Thor. In short, these huge armies that could tear apart the invaders at any time stopped at this moment, as if they had returned to the state of rocks , even those huge and terrifying royal quilins, like before, turned into lifelike stone sculptures.
"ah."
Princess Talanji, who almost got into a catastrophe, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hand, and whispered to Zul:
"The might of these mogu soldiers is astonishing. Is this the Thunder God's army? If it is such a legion, maybe it can really block or even defeat the dark blade's undead."
"These? No no no."
Prophet Zul shook his head:
"These are just the buried army of the Thunder King. His real army is not here, and believe me, Your Royal Highness, the Thunder King's army will definitely surprise you."
After finishing speaking, Zuer looked at the heavy sarcophagus in the center of the mausoleum, and said in a deep voice:
"Carry out this coffin! We will resurrect this ancient emperor under the throne of the Thunder King, and we are not allowed to touch other things in the mausoleum!"
"jingle, jingle"
At the moment when Zuer's voice fell to the ground, a strange, vague, crisp bell sounded in the ancient tomb. The sudden sound made Zuer and Princess Talanji stunned. The other golden sword guards couldn't help but turn their eyes to the entrance of the tomb.
There, a slender figure wearing a black robe and holding a strange staff with a white prayer flag was walking towards them. The sapphire bell on the top of the staff wrapped around the strange prayer flag was windless and automatic, And in that crisp sound, the cold blue mist spread behind him, and anything that touched the mist, whether it was wood, gold, gemstones, or even stones, seemed to be withered rapidly in time, piece by piece. Annihilation opened.
That's not the force of the flow of time, that's death... death's withering and withering.
"Zul, I heard that you are a dark prophet who can see the future...I wonder if my friend Bwonsamdi told you...you, dying..."
Tyrion's peaceful voice echoed in the tomb, and the moment he heard the voice, the eyes of the Prophet Zul shrank suddenly, and Princess Talanji who was beside him immediately snatched the scepter from Zul's hand. Scroll, hold it up high, and the brave princess shouted loudly:
"Guardians of the Thunder King! The invaders have arrived!"
"For the supreme majesty of the Thunder King! Kill him!"
