Chapter 56 - Guardians of the Jungle
…………
"Druid?" Nathanos' anger turned into confusion, and he couldn't help but ask the Lich King what a druid was.
The Lich King also answered him, "This is a realm that humans, dwarves, and even high elves have never set foot on. Druids are the closest beings to this world. They can transform into animal forms, such as bears or eagles."
Such creatures.'
"And you also gained the abilities of those animals at the same time, right?"
'Yes. And in the passage to your left, sleeping is a large group of druids in bear form.'
"They are also the guards guarding Illidan?"
'No, it's just that Illidan happened to be imprisoned next to them.'
Nathanos breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I don't want to see them wake up during the mission."
'You have to hurry!' the Lich King urged, 'someone is coming here.'
"What?" Nathanos was surprised, "Who? When?"
'They are the ones who are here to awaken the druids. The leaders of the night elves, Tyrande Whisperwind and Malfurion Stormrage. They may come here at any time.'
"Damn it!" Nathanos punched a dent in the wall. "Are they coming to Illidan? I'll be in trouble if I meet them."
'Stop talking nonsense. The elves who are left to guard Illidan are not elite. Kill them and take Illidan away.'
"Arrogant guy." Nathanos cursed after the Lich King's whisper disappeared. Something went wrong at the most critical moment, and it was such a coincidence. Why did the leader of the night elves come on the day he started to perform his mission?
Here, it was as if everything had been calculated. Nathanos couldn't help but begin to doubt the Lich King.
"There is no way out." He began to move towards the tunnel on the right, and successfully found the place where Illidan was actually imprisoned. He also spent some time opening the energy bridge leading to that place. Although the Lich King told him the rest
The elves were not elite, but their numbers should not be underestimated. In order to avoid accidents, he did not carry out the Lich King's order to kill all the elves.
If you can't attack, you can only avoid it. Fortunately, some of the elves here are sleeping, and Nathanos can easily penetrate deep. In addition to Illidan, there are also many strange creatures imprisoned here, such as the centaurs he has seen before.
, there is also a creature that is similar to an elf and a demon.
"The warden of this prison has really unique tastes?" Nathanos smiled. He thought of an idea, what would happen if these guys were released?
The sleeping guards were awakened by the sudden sound of the alarm, and the imprisoned monsters ran out inexplicably. The peaceful night was immediately torn apart by the sound of fighting.
Those guys are not small, and it is estimated that the elves will suffer a lot of casualties. Nathanos thought, and continued to move forward, carefully avoiding the guards who were preparing to fight.
"Keep walking forward...turn left, then go straight, and then..." Nathanos recalled the imaginary route in his mind. He thought that all the guards should deal with the chaos in the prison, but he didn't expect...
"Oh! Are you kidding?" He took a breath. In front of the innermost prison cell, a huge creature almost twice as tall as him walked out of the shadows. At first, he mistook him for it.
He became a centaur, but after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he realized that he was wrong. This was a more troublesome existence than a centaur. He looked like that kind of savage creature, but he had elegant antlers on his head.
The right hand looks like a work of art carved from wood.
"This continent is really colorful." Nathanos mocked and pulled out Quel'Delar from his waist. The other party said a warning that he didn't understand, and he pointed his sword at the guy.
They waved aside to signal this rather elegant creature to get out of the way. But in the end, they didn't listen to each other's advice.
"It's really troublesome." Nathanos rushed forward. He had no experience in dealing with this kind of creature and could only treat it like a cavalry on the battlefield. So he subconsciously targeted the opponent's front left leg.
He was only ten meters closer to the opponent, and his feet were restrained by vines growing rapidly on the ground as if he had suddenly stepped on something. Nathanos frowned, realizing that this was the opponent's magic.
"Magic that can control the growth of plants? How interesting." Nathanos sneered. His expression seemed to have angered his enemy. There was no spell in the other person's mouth, but a figure appeared in the center of his hands on his chest.
The glowing energy ball flew towards Nathanos.
Unable to move, he could only block Quel'Delar in front of him. The impact almost caused him to fall backwards, and the second energy ball followed closely. Nathanos bent back and barely managed to avoid it.
.
"Enough!" he shouted, quickly took an arrow from his quiver and inserted it into the vines on his feet. The poison on the arrow caused those plants to wither and wither immediately. Seeing Nathanos break free from the restraints, that
The creature was very surprised. He wanted to use the same trick to trap Nathanos again, but the humans who had learned a lesson did not give him a chance. Nathanos grasped the time required for the opponent to chant the spell, and when the vines grew,
The moment he came out, he immediately jumped up and dodged easily.
"It's over!" Nathanos's eyes showed the horrified expression of the other party. He showed no mercy, and aimed at the horned head in his hand, DeQueldra...
...Purple blood spurted out from the incision, and the body twitched and struggled a few times before falling down.
"A useless guy." He spat at the corpse. This battle took him almost no time, but it still made Nathanos feel unhappy.
"You'd better be careful. If the father of the Jungle Guardian knows that you are treating his child like this, he will definitely let you feel his anger."
The voice came from the prison, and it was the same as what he saw. Nathanos knew who was talking to him. The Lich King once told him that Illidan Stormrage had been imprisoned for ten thousand years.
At first, Nathanos was worried about whether the prisoner would still be able to speak when he found him. But now, Illidan's voice sounded loud and confident, making Nathanos want to talk to him more.
.
"Guardian of the Jungle?" The human pointed at Quel'Delar at the bleeding corpse. "Such a useless thing deserves to be called a Guardian."
"Do you know who their father is? He is the ancient demigod Cenarius."
"Really?" Nathanos snorted, "Then he can go find his father. Cenarius is already dead!"
"What?" Illidan was a little surprised, and the chains that trapped him made a noise. "Who has such an ability?"
Nathanos wanted to answer that it was an orc, but when he thought about it carefully, the blind elf had never seen that kind of creature before. If he had to explain it to him, it would probably waste a lot of time.
"It's the devil." He replied, "The devil is back."
The word "demon" seemed to make Illidan want to stand up excitedly. Nathanos couldn't see him, but heard the sound of his struggle, but the chains were too strong and he couldn't break free.
"What does it have to do with me? And why should I believe you? You smell of death."
Nathanos was about to explain, but the rapid footsteps behind him made him swallow his words. Could it be that the guards were back?
"Listen. If you don't want to die, you'd better not reveal my whereabouts." He threatened, then ran to the shadow corner and hid.
There were quite a few people coming, and they were a small force. Nathanos's eyes clearly saw the female elf at the head. She was the most elegant night elf he had ever seen. Her emerald green hair was even in the light.
The dark environment also seemed to be full of life. The elf leader who had just arrived frowned and looked at the still warm body on the ground. Then he shouted to his fellow prisoners: "Illidan?"
