At eight o'clock the next morning, Michaela woke up from the tent, and Tessa was already beside her reminding:
"The goblin caravan left early, what a pity."
Michaela rolled her eyes at Tessa: "What's the pity?"
Tessa said in a gossipy tone: "What a pity, your woman ran away."
That's it?
Michaela narrowed her eyes and said, "Alot is not my woman."
"I've been waiting for your words!"
Tessa immediately hugged Michaela's right arm and rubbed her body against the latter...
"Hey, hey, what are you doing!"
To Michaela, Tessa was like a piece of dog-skin plaster that stuck and couldn't be peeled off.
Fortunately, Mona noticed that Michaela had woken up, and immediately walked into the tent and asked: "Ms. Michaela, should we..."
Seeing the intimate movements between Tessa and Mikayla, Mona paused for a few seconds before continuing: "Should we go?"
When walking in the desert, one usually gets up early and tries to take advantage of the sun to cover the distance before the sand is heated, so the goblin caravan set off very early, while Mikaela deliberately stayed a little late to wait for Arlot.
But eight o'clock has reached the limit, the sun has risen, and if we don't set off, the sand under our feet will really be heated.
"All right."
Michaela made a decision: "Break camp and set off!"
As the order was given, the Twilight Hammer immediately took action, quickly packed up the camp and mounted their respective mounts.
Mikaela, who was riding on the chocobo, looked back one last time, and after confirming that there was only sand in her eyes, she gave the order: "Go forward!"
Ever since, the Twilight Hammer team started...
"etc!"
Just as Michaela was about to set off,
At this moment, a familiar voice came into his ears, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the familiar figure.
"Alote!"
Surprised, Mikaela immediately put away her mount and walked towards each other, while Arlot also ran quickly towards Mikaela, as if a couple who had been reunited for a long time were about to meet again...
"Miss Arlot, what are you doing here?"
However, just as the two were about to meet, Tessa's figure blocked Mikaela's left side, while Mona's figure appeared on Mikaela's right side:
"You are not one of ours."
Tessa and Mona appeared at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, separating Michaela and Arlott, and causing the latter's expression to twitch a few times.
In fact, last night, Arlot had been hesitating in his heart whether he should follow Mikaela. It was not until this morning, after walking with the goblin caravan for a while, that Arlot made up his mind to follow Mikaela.
After all, Michaela's team is also heading to Silithus, and has the same goal as Alott.
What?
A girl’s complex emotions?
At least Arlott didn't think he had.
I think should not be.
But……
Why does my heart hurt so much when I see Michaela hugging me?
At this moment, Arlot regretted it. Perhaps it would be more reliable to follow the caravan back to Gadgetzan and wait for the next opportunity.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in reality, not to mention that this is still a desert. Arlott has no way to turn back, so she can only bite the bullet and ask Michaela to let her join the team.
However, the evil Dread Lord had already seen through Arlott's thoughts.
Just listen to Tessa say: "What's wrong, Miss Arlott, you left the caravan and came back to us because you want to kneel down and lick us
Captain, do you want him to take you in? "
While speaking, Tessa also deliberately held Mikaela's hand and used her mental power to shut Mikaela up. In addition, Tessa's choice of words was extremely unpleasant, including "kneeling and licking", which made Arlott blush.
Since Michaela didn't speak, Mona on the side also said: "You are not one of ours, we won't take you in, let's go."
After saying that, Mona raised her right hand and waved it outward, signaling the other party to get out.
At this time, Arlot couldn't hold himself any longer and shouted: "Michaela!"
However, Mikaela was still under the control of Tessa and could not speak at all. She could only watch Arlott worry, but there was nothing she could do.
No, it can't be like this, I can't be manipulated by Tessa, I have to break free from her mental shackles.
"Um?"
Tessa, who was watching Arlott's joke, immediately felt that Michaela was struggling to break through the mind control.
Just you?
As the Fear Lord, Tessa immediately increased her mental power output and forcibly suppressed Mikaela's consciousness, while Mikaela also desperately resisted in the spiritual world.
Although the mental power competition cannot be seen with the naked eye, the energy fluctuations generated have attracted the attention of Mona and Alot.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Especially Arlot, she seemed to feel something.
Yep, nasty guy.
Tessa didn't want to expose herself, so she chose to stop and let Michaela regain her mobility.
"Hoo, Tessa!"
Michaela glared at Tessa first, then stopped Mona from chasing people away, and gave a reasonable reason: "Okay, Mona, our team really needs a guide."
Michaela looked at Arlott,
Asked: "You have been to Silithus, right."
"Oh, yes."
Alot said in a lifeless tone: "I have been to Silithus before, and I can take you there as a guide."
At this moment, Arlot really regretted that he should not have come back to find Mikaela. Unfortunately, it was too late. Under Mikaela's arrangement, Arlot became the "tour guide" of the team, making this An adventurer hired by the Cenarion Circle had to lead the hostile organization the Twilight's Hammer to Silithus.
What a joke of fate.
However, there are benefits.
Arlott is not a wealthy Twilight Hammer. She does not have her own magic mount, so she can only move forward in the hot sand with two feet.
However, Michaela has a chocobo mount! The saddle of his magic mount has been adjusted so that it can seat multiple people at the same time.
As a result, Arlot sat in front of Mikaela.
This feeling, this feeling, well...
Arlott's face instantly turned into a red apple, which made Tessa, who was riding behind him, itch with hatred. Mona, on the other hand, didn't say anything and simply followed the team with the Twilight Hammer behind Mikaela.
By noon, the team had reached the edge of the Nest of Corruption. As the guide, Arlott immediately issued a reminder:
"Be careful, this is the nest of the silithid bugs."
"Silkien?"
Mona walked up: "What is that?"
Most of the people in Twilight's Hammer were doing this for the first time. They had never seen a Silithid before.
Arlot glanced at Mona, then looked back at Mikaela behind him, and decided to explain:
"Silkien are a kind of strange insect that is larger than a human. They are good at digging holes and can use their burrows to
The secreted mucus builds the nest. Look over there! "
Arlot pointed to several huge depressions with a diameter of more than a kilometer, like funnels, five hundred meters to the west of the team. It was obvious that such landforms would not form naturally in the desert.
"That is the nest of the Silithid. The locals call it the Nest of Corruption. There are Parsentir Silithids living in it. Be careful, they eat meat."
The people from Twilight's Hammer looked in the direction of Arlott's finger and were really surprised.
Especially Mona, her eyes widened with an expression of surprise: "It's so magical and natural."
"etc."
At this moment, Tessa clamped her legs under the horse's belly, made the mount speed up a little, walked to Arlott's side, and asked: "I only saw the nest, where are the bugs?"
Alote pointed with his right hand and said: "See
Is the sun above your head? Bugs are also afraid of heat. They are now hiding quietly in the shade of the cave. As long as we don't provoke them, the bugs will leave us alone. "
At the end, Arlott added: "Tessa, I believe you don't want to run into the swarm of insects."
In fact, the last time Arlot went to Silithus, he saw a team of adventurers who wanted to go deep into the insect cave and dig out the mineral deposits. Unfortunately, they never came back. In Tanaris, both sandfury trolls and goblins know not to mess with the bugs.
Michaela also believed that she should not cause trouble, so she kept quiet and said nothing. It only took two days to walk along the edge of the Corruption Nest to the entrance to Un'Goro Crater.
However, an ominous omen swirled in Michaela's mind, and she always felt that this
The journey may not be that easy.
"Michaela, do you think the swarm will attack us?" In the spiritual world, Torina was also asking questions.
"It's hard to say." Michaela said: "Although I have reached an agreement with N'Zoth, Silithus involves another ancient god C'Thun. Even N'Zoth has begun to act behind the scenes, so C'Thun Well, there's no reason to be so quiet."
"That's right, Torina."
What did Michaela think of: "Take out the information about the alien bugs from my past life memory."
"OK!"
After receiving the instruction, Torina immediately began to look through the memory files and quickly found the answer:
"The so-called alien bugs are actually a branch of the Aqir race in Azeroth. The Aqir race is also a race with a long history in Azeroth. It is said that in ancient times, the Aqir bugs had a conflict with the ancient troll empire. A war, in which the trolls won in the end, and the aqir were defeated and split into ***."
"One is the mantid of Pandaria."
"The second one is the spider demon in Northrend, which has now been conquered by the Lich King."
"The third one is the Qiraji in the southernmost part of Silithus, behind the Beetle Wall. The Xenomorphs are directly connected to the Qiraji."
Speaking of this, Torina put down the memory file in her hand and continued: "Mikayla, other bug-men today have long been controlled by C'Thun, so those alien bugs may have also been affected by C'Thun's will."
This is what worries Mikayla the most.
The Ancient Gods are omniscient to mortals, so could C'Thun, who is buried under Silithus, already know about the deal between me and N'Zoth?
Do you know Alot’s identity?
"Um!"
Suddenly, Michaela felt something and turned to look at the Nest of Corruption on the west side. Is there any strange movement in the insect swarm?
Fortunately, the insect lair was still very quiet. The bugs were lurking deep in the lair and did not move much.
call.
Michaela let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't want to be overwhelmed by the insects, but when Michaela turned his head back to the front, he suddenly found out of the corner of his eye that Tessa was also turning her head to observe the insect nest.
Could it be said that the Dread Lord has discovered something?
Unfortunately it didn't, because after a few seconds Tessa turned her head back.
I hope it's an illusion.
Michaela thought so.
Because of the previous confrontation with the Sand Fury Troll, Michaela no longer believed in Tessa. This guy had no intention of showing his full strength and only knew how to play behind the scenes.
The team's true strongest fighting force is still paddling. How should we fight this battle?
For some reason, Michaela thought of Celestine. This female paladin really dared to fight. To describe her as "even if there are thousands of people, I will go" is not an exaggeration at all.
But when it comes to Celestine, Michaela can't help but think of Mona in the Twilight Hammer team. This lady seems to be very fierce.
In the midst of random thoughts, the time came to night, and it was time to set up camp and rest for the night.
According to the calculation of the distance, Michaela and his party have arrived at the outer area of the center of the Corruption Nest. They only need to walk for one more day to pass through the insect nest and reach the entrance of the crater.
Michaela looked at the bright moonlight in the sky and said to herself: "There shouldn't be any problems tonight."
