Chapter 272 Rescue the Cow
After seeing off Lu Xiaoming and Gui Hao, Yang Yi walked out of the inn and came to the lakeside of Dead Water Oasis.
The main purpose of building the city wall in Dead Water Village was to resist the Kokar Centaurs. Centaurs are not good at wading, so there is no city wall on the lake side.
"Should we build a wall in the direction of the lake, even if it is a row of wooden walls, so as to prevent people like Gui Hao from taking advantage of the lack of defense here and sneaking into Dead Water Village by swimming."
After Yang Yi came to the lakeside, he thought about it and decided to build a village-level 3 log wall here, leaving only one entrance and exit as a side door to the lake.
The lake water has been purified by the Minotaur, and the black oil on the lake surface has disappeared. Yang Yi can see fish jumping out of the water from time to time on the rippling lake surface.
However, this lake is still not peaceful, and the snap-jawed turtle in the lake is still irritable for some reason.
Deadwater Village sent a team of ten combat murlocs to guard the lakeside. As long as a snapjaw turtle dared to come ashore from Deadwater Village, these murlocs would immediately surround and kill it, pry its shells and skin it, and eat it on the spot.
During this period of time, the murlocs of Deadwater Village killed a lot of snapjaw turtles, and a pile of snapjaw turtle shells accumulated on the shore.
Yang Yi walked to the front of the pile of snapjaw turtle shells and saw that the surface of these shells was covered with strange spots. It seemed that these snapjaw turtles were infected by something. Perhaps this was the reason why these usually gentle animals became manic.
Yang Yi was observing the strange spots on the snapjaw turtle shells when a rumbling sound came from afar.
It was Bain riding a kodo beast and running towards the lake.
"Bain, are you riding a kodo beast to leave Deadwater Oasis?" Yang Yi asked.
"Yes, Poseidon, I'm going to Stoneclaw Mountains." Bain said.
"Stonetalon? What are you going there for?"
Since Yang Yi learned from Baine that there was a dwarf engineer in Stonetalon, he has been considering whether to go to Stonetalon. Unexpectedly, Baine also said that he was going to Stonetalon at this time.
"Poseidon, do you want to go together?" Baine asked.
"Go on your kodo?"
"Of course not, it's still too slow. Let's go to the crossroads and ride a wyvern to Stonetalon Mountains."
"Ride a wyvern! Great!"
Yang Yi has never ridden a flying mount since he came to the world of Azeroth. He has always fantasized about the thrill of riding a flying mount in the air.
When he heard that he could ride a wyvern to Stonetalon Mountains, Yang Yi immediately decided to go to Stonetalon Mountains with Baine.
Leaving the matter of Deadwater Village to Slark, Yang Yi climbed on Baine's kodo and went to the crossroads together.
Crossroads is the largest town of the tribe in the Barrens, with a permanent population of more than 30,000 people, mainly orcs, tauren and trolls, among which orcs are the majority.
Since the tribe has been competing for land resources with centaurs, boars and harpies in the Barrens for many years, more than 3,000 tribal soldiers are stationed in Crossroads.
Since the two conflicts with the murlocs in Deadwater Oasis and Ratchet Town, the soldiers of the tribe have become more and more disgusted with the murlocs. Some orc soldiers saw Yang Yi, a murloc, enter the crossroads and roared at him.
Yang Yi didn't care. He followed Bain and walked through the streets of the crossroads.
When they came to the animal pen of the wyvern, there was already a person waiting for them.
This person was Mu Xiaolan from Qin Kunhui.
"Mu Xiaolan, did you find Kaya?" Bain asked anxiously after seeing Mu Xiaolan.
"Found it. Our people found her in a Terror Totem sentry post in the Giant Tree Valley. She was kidnapped by Grundig Black Cloud." Mu Xiaolan replied.
"Great, let's set off immediately!" Bain said.
Yang Yi knew on the way that Bain was rushing to the Stone Claw Mountains to save a tauren. The tauren was the daughter of Makaba Flathoof, the village chief of the Deadwater Tauren Village.
So Yang Yi stood aside without asking any more questions.
Bain was in a hurry, which was unusual. The three of them quickly paid the money to the wyvern administrator and got on the wyvern.
Bain rode a wyvern alone, while Yang Yi and Mu Xiaolan rode a wyvern each controlled by an orc sitting in the front.
Wyvern mounts are not like ordinary ground mounts. They are important assets to the tribe.
Only someone like Bain could ride a wyvern alone. Yang Yi and Mu Xiaolan could only fly behind a wyvern controlled by a special person, and they could only fly on a fixed route between two designated wyvern flight points.
Even so, Yang Yi still benefited from Bain, otherwise he would not have been able to rent a wyvern if he came alone.
The wyvern flapped its huge wings a few times and took off.
It was Yang Yi's first time riding a flying mount. In the violent shaking of the launch, he was so scared that he grabbed the shoulders of the orc in front of him with both hands.
The orc sitting in front looked at him with contempt, thinking that the fishmen were indeed a cowardly and despicable race.
When the wyvern rose to a high altitude, its huge wings spread out and began to glide and fly. Yang Yi, sitting on the back of the wyvern, finally felt safe.
"Wow! The Barrens is so big. It looks like a red land from the air. It's really spectacular."
Yang Yi braved the howling wind and admired the scenery of the Barrens.
There were several wild beasts running across the red land beneath my feet, a burst of wolf smoke rising in the distance, and a red setting sun hanging above the distant mountains.
Yang Yi flew for the first time, and couldn't help laughing at the beautiful scenery in the air.
This feeling of freedom in the air is great!
"Malloc, don't look around. I won't be responsible if you are blown down by the strong wind." The orc in front saw Yang Yi moving around and shouted dissatisfiedly.
Yang Yi carefully glanced at his feet. He estimated that he had flown to a height of 100 meters. If he fell, he would definitely be smashed to pieces.
Yang Yi started to worry when he thought about it. He was always afraid that he would fall from the sky.
The facts showed that Yang Yi was overthinking. Under the leadership of Mu Xiaolan, the three wyverns flew directly to a horror totem sentry on the edge of the Giant Tree Valley.
If it were normal, the wyverns could only fly to the Sunstone Residence in the Stone Claw Mountains, and then several people would walk to the Giant Tree Valley from the ground.
With Baine, the three wyverns landed directly on the open space of a horror totem sentry.
Yang Yi was shocked by Baine's decision. It was unclear whether Baine was brave because of his skill or too young and kind.
On the way to the crossroads, Yang Yi learned from Baine that the members of the Terror Totem in Stoneclaw Mountains were likely the murderers who attacked Makaba Flathoof's village. If this was true, then Grundig Darkcloud, who kidnapped Makaba's daughter, was the mastermind of the massacre.
Faced with such a situation, Baine actually decided to land in the open space of the Terror Totem Outpost, which made Yang Yi dumbfounded.
"Baine, didn't you say that the Horde and Thunder Bluff have already launched an investigation into the Terror Totem Clan, and they are just short of issuing a wanted order?"
"The investigation is not over yet, and it is not certain whether they did it."
"Then the kidnapping of Makaba's daughter is definitely confirmed!"
"Yes, so we are here to save people this time."
Baine got off the wyvern, then took his halberd off his back and held it in his hand.
Yang Yi was speechless. He felt that if Bain's father was as upright as Bain, the Tauren would sooner or later fall into the hands of the Terror Totem Clan.
"I suddenly feel that the prospects of the Tauren are quite worrying. The Thorntooth Fishmen must not hold the wrong thigh." Yang Yi thought.
Yang Yi had no choice but to follow Bain with the sea monster harpoon.
Mu Xiaolan also took out a light crossbow and followed Bain and Yang Yi.
Three two-legged dragons fell from the sky and attracted the attention of the Terror Totem Tauren in the sentry post at the beginning. Soon a group of big black bulls surrounded them.
"Bain, what are you doing here?" A Terror Totem Tauren walked in front, holding a large two-handed wooden axe in the style of a Tauren.
This Tauren was Grundig Black Cloud, the chief of the Terror Totem, at least in name.
"Grudig, I'm here to pick up Kaya Flathoof. Her father has been waiting for her to go back." Bain directly explained his purpose.
"Kaya is not with me." Grudig Black Cloud denied it.
"I know Kaya is in this sentry post. I guess she is in the wooden house in front." Bain pointed to a large wooden house in front, where Grudig Black Cloud lived.
"Yes, Kaya is in the wooden house. Don't even think about taking her away." Grudig Black Cloud's big nostrils began to emit white air, and the big black bull began to get angry.
Yang Yi was very puzzled when he heard it on the side. If the Tauren leaders were as upright as the two of them, how could this race survive in such a cruel Kalimdor continent.
"This big black bull named Grudig probably took the daughter of Macaba as his wife. If that's the case, it's not easy to take this person away." Yang Yi looked at the big black bulls that surrounded him. The number had already exceeded a hundred. It was difficult for the three of them to break through, let alone snatch people.
Yang Yi was secretly worried over there, but the two minotaurs, Bain and Grudig, were about to start a one-on-one duel.
"I never heard that minotaurs also like to duel."
Yang Yi could only watch the two burly minotaurs duel from the side.
In Yang Yi's opinion, the two minotaurs were typical straightforward fighters, and they would fight head-on.
Bain's weapon was a long halberd, and Grudig's weapon was a large wooden axe.
Bang bang bang bang!
After a fierce battle, Bain was injured but successfully knocked Grudig unconscious and won.
Yang Yi was relieved to see that the big black bulls around him did not riot after Bain won.
"I want to take Kaya away."
Bain said and walked towards the big wooden house.
The minotaurs with the Terror Totem did not forcibly stop Bain. Bain pushed aside several black bulls that happened to be blocking the road and walked straight to the big wooden house.
Kaya Flat-Tied was indeed in the big wooden house. Yang Yi saw that it was a black and white spotted cow.
"We must leave quickly, otherwise Grudig will soon wake up from his coma. I will have someone escort you back to your father Makaba. He will be very happy to see you return safely." Bain said.
"Grudiger fainted? I want to go see him." Kaya said anxiously.
"Mu Xiaolan, you will die in the Buffalo Headman Village if you escort Kaya." Bain seemed not to hear Kaya's words. He resolutely asked Mu Xiaolan to send Kaya away.
Under Mu Xiaolan's "escort", she and Kaya each rode a two-legged dragon and flew away.
Yang Yi and Bain did not stay for long. After seeing Mu Xiaolan and Kaya take off, he and Bain rode the same two-legged dragon and left the Terror Totem Outpost.
Yang Yi did not intervene in the whole process, just watched.
"There is a story between Kaya and Grudig. Could it be that this is not just an ordinary kidnapping case, but there is an affair involved?"
"It seems that Bane is not so straightforward. This minotaur is quite treacherous. After seeing Kaya's concern for Grudig, he forcibly sent him away without thinking twice."
Flying in the air, Yang Yi thought gossipingly.
"It seems that the minotaur is not as big and strong as he looks. The minotaur can still be saved.".
