Chapter 276 Thunder Bluff

Yang Yi followed the big black bull to the Dead Water Tauren Village built on a small mountain.

The scale of this Tauren Village is far less than that of the Fishman Village by the lake. The buildings in the village are all in standard Tauren style. Except for the two tall Tauren totem poles standing at the entrance of the village, the others are Tauren tents built with wood and animal skins.

In the Tauren Village, Yang Yi saw Bain and Mu Xiaolan, and an old acquaintance - Tauren Tuga Rune Totem.

The village chief Makaba Flat Hoof prepared a table of sumptuous food to entertain them, but it was a pity that the food on this table was full of green, which seemed a bit bland for Yang Yi, a carnivore.

The rescued Kaya Flat Hoof sat obediently beside her father, looking very happy to escape the clutches of the terrifying totem and come back.

"This black and white spotted cow is acting big." Yang Yi laughed secretly.

Bain and Mu Xiaolan also knew about Kaya's situation, and like Yang Yi, they didn't say much at the dinner table.

Due to the strange atmosphere, the thank-you dinner did not last long.

After the meal, Makaba Flat-Tied said that everyone was welcome to come to the Tauren Village at any time, and then arranged for his daughter to rest.

Yang Yi and Bain toured the Tauren Village and were about to leave, but they saw Mu Xiaolan and the Tauren Tujia studying something together.

The Tauren Tujia was holding a turtle shell and observing it carefully, his face solemn.

Yang Yi took a look at the turtle shell, and he quickly recognized it as the shell of a snap-mouthed turtle living in the lake of the Dead Water Oasis.

This snap-mouthed turtle has strange spots on its shell, which is easy to identify.

"This is a spot I have never seen before. It is very important to study these plants and animals. I suspect they are affected by the oasis and the abnormal energy you found." Tujia's tone was as solemn as his expression.

"The Dead Water Oasis is the home of this snap-mouthed turtle, and their number has increased sharply recently. What's more serious is that these usually gentle animals have become manic." Mu Xiaolan said.

"I'm sure the water in the oasis is the cause of these spots. I can even feel the chaos they bring to this land. This land is now dead, as if it has fallen into a long sleep." Tujia said.

"These oases have some special powers, and I don't know where these powers come from." Mu Xiaolan said.

...

Mu Xiaolan and Tujia discussed the shell of the snap-jawed turtle, and Yang Yi found that he couldn't get a word in.

Yang Yi was very familiar with the dead water oasis. He knew the spots on the shell of the snap-jawed turtle, and he knew that they became like this because of lake pollution.

"Aren't these obvious things? Is there another hidden story?"

Yang Yi was puzzled. He patiently listened to the long speech of the man and the cow for a long time.

"The Howling Cave must be the source of all these problems." The minotaur Tujia said affirmatively.

Finally, Yang Yi felt that he had finally heard the key point.

"Should I go to investigate the Howling Cave?" Mu Xiaolan asked.

"Before you go there to investigate, go talk to the druid elder Hamuul Runetotem. I asked someone to send him a letter and tell him everything that happened in the Barrens. This knowledgeable elder should be able to give you a lot of advice."

"But the druid elder is in Thunder Bluff, and I can't get in there."

"Take this handwritten letter from me and go to Thunder Bluff. The druid elder is on the Elder Plateau in Thunder Bluff."

"Okay!"

Mu Xiaolan received Tujia's letter with a slightly trembling voice.

Although Mu Xiaolan appeared to be very calm on the surface, she was actually very excited in her heart.

Yang Yi knew what Mu Xiaolan was excited about. Thunder Bluff is the main city of the Tauren. It is not easy for adventurers who are nicknamed Land-walking Fishmen by the natives to enter.

So far, I have only heard that Zoro Guang, the first-level adventurer, can openly enter the human main city of Stormwind.

Yang Yi looked at Baine, who was teasing a little black calf on the side, and thought that he might be able to enter Thunder Bluff through Baine's relationship.

"Baine, didn't you say your father asked you to go back to Thunder Bluff? I want to go with you." Yang Yi tried to say.

"Do you want to go to Thunder Bluff too?" Baine asked.

"Yes, I want to visit Thunder Bluff and buy some engineering materials by the way." Yang Yi said.

"Okay, come back to Thunder Bluff with me." Baine said casually.

Sure enough, no problem!

It's just a trip to Thunder Bluff. Look at Mu Xiaolan's excited voice. It's just a matter of one sentence for me.

I'm really awesome.

Yang Yi was very proud of Baine's affirmative reply.

Mu Xiaolan felt bad listening to the conversation between Yang Yi and Baine.

For this handwritten letter from Tujia, Mu Xiaolan took the people of Qin Kunhui to run through the three oases in the Barrens, and had to risk being discovered by the Centaurs to sneak into the oases to complete various investigations.

It took countless days and countless costs.

As a result, the murloc just casually said that he could go to Thunder Bluff with Bain.

"But this murloc is a native after all, and we adventurers don't need to compete with the natives." Mu Xiaolan thought about it and felt better.

Yang Yi, Bain and Mu Xiaolan all wanted to go to Thunder Bluff, so the three decided to go together.

The three of them went to the crossroads, boarded their wyverns and flew to Mulgore, the tauren city of Thunder Bluff.

Mulgore is connected to the Stoneclaw Mountains in the north and is surrounded by mountains on all sides, forming a natural barrier. There is a trail in the mountains that leads to the South Barrens in the west.

The lush Mulgore Plains have been the home of the tauren since ancient times.

Yang Yi looked down at the land of Mulgore from the air.

A variety of beasts roamed the vast plains, providing an excellent hunting ground for tauren hunters.

Although Mulgore had a peaceful landscape and a pine-scented breeze from the air, Yang Yi heard from Baine that the grassland was now full of dangers.

The Red Cloud Terrace in the south was flooded with wild boars.

The Windfury Harpy tribe occupied the high mountains at the north and south ends of Mulgore.

The Alliance built a camp on the western edge, and the dwarves searched for the remains of their ancestors in the mountains.

The white-maned gnolls not only settled in a cave called "White Mane Stone", but also built a camp in the foothills in the south.

The venture capital company run by the goblins affected the three wells of the tauren, and they even mined on the high mountains in the west.

It is said that Baine's father Cain called him back this time to deal with these crises.

The scenery of Mulgore is so beautiful that Yang Yi was fascinated by it. This flight journey arrived at the destination unknowingly.

Thunder Bluff is located on the terrace of the verdant grassland in the north of Mulgore.

Yang Yi saw the elevator of Thunder Bluff and the wooden rope ladders connecting the terraces. Tents, totem poles and soul huts with tauren characteristics can be seen everywhere on the terraces.

The three-headed wyvern stopped in a giant totem pole in the middle of the largest terrace of Thunder Bluff.

The middle of this huge totem pole was hollowed out. The upper part of the totem pole was used as a stop for flying mounts, and the lower part dug out spiral downward stairs leading to various terraces of varying heights.

Mu Xiaolan was going to find the druid elder Hamuul Runetotem. She went to the Elder Highlands first under the guidance of a tauren guard.

"Poseidon, I have to see my father first." Baine said to Yang Yi, "I will arrange a tauren to take you to find the engineering supplier in Thunder Bluff, and I will take you to visit Thunder Bluff later."

"You are busy first, I will look around by myself." Yang Yi said.

Baine knew that Yang Yi came to Thunder Bluff to buy some engineering materials, so he called a tauren guard to lead Yang Yi.

The engineering supplier of Thunder Bluff was on the edge of a lake on the large plateau in the middle. Under the guidance of the tauren guard, Yang Yi soon found the tauren engineer Cangti.

The tauren held a wooden hammer and a large leather engineering parts bag beside him.

"A fishman?" Engineer Cangti asked after seeing Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was used to it. The tauren he met along the way basically had the same reaction.

Fortunately, the Tauren were friendly to him, unlike when he entered the crossroads, he was often glared at and roared at by the orcs.

"It was Little Bain who brought this murloc to Thunder Bluff. This murloc is called Poseidon." The Tauren guard said.

"Don't call him Little Bain anymore. Bain has completed the hunting trial and passed the Mother Earth Rite. He has earned a place for himself in Thunder Bluff." Engineer Cangti said with a smile.

The life span of the Tauren race is relatively long. For example, Bain's father Cain was 99 years old during the Third War, and now he is over 100 years old.

Yang Yi listened to the conversation between the two Tauren and heard that the relationship between these Tauren was very good, so he also smiled.

Although Yang Yi's murloc smile looked very cruel to the two Tauren.

"Murloc-Poseidon, do you want to buy some engineering materials? Don't worry, you can definitely find the materials you want here." Engineer Cangti said proudly, patting the oversized engineering parts bag beside him with his big hands, "Tell me what you want, gunpowder? Bronze tube? Gear?"

Yang Yi shook his head: "The materials I want to buy are mainly [Mithril Ingot], [True Silver Transformer], [Earth Core], [Pure Water Ball], [Limestone], [Mithril Rod]."

"Hmm..." Engineer Cangti was anxiously scratching his ox leg with his hands, probably because he suddenly felt a little itchy.

"Ahahaha, there is no material that murlocs want in your big bag." The Minotaur guard laughed loudly.

"Go away, go back to stand guard, you little calf." Engineer Cangti was a little embarrassed, and he drove the Minotaur guard away.

"Poseidon, the engineering materials you want to buy are not sold in ordinary engineering stores. To be honest, I am already the largest engineering supplier in Thunder Bluff, but I still don't have anything you want." Engineer Cangti said.

"Nothing?" Yang Yi was disappointed.

Yang Yi didn't expect that even a big city like Thunder Bluff couldn't find the materials he needed.

"But it doesn't matter. In two days, it will be the time for the Thunder Bluff end-of-month auction to start. The auction house is just across the lake. The list of auction items has been released, you can look for it on the list." Engineer Cangti said. .
