…………

The Panda Emperor Shaohao could hear the laughter of the Monkey King, but this was from outside the Great Wall in the west. That land belongs to all Panda people's mortal enemy: the mantid.

‘I can’t go there!’ Shaohao thought so, emperors of all generations have made that place a forbidden place, and no one can set foot on it. ‘Maybe we should contact Master Baihu and let him send the most powerful warrior to rescue the Monkey King.’

The emperor trembled and wanted to turn around and leave, but a shocking voice came: "Why are you looking back?"

Shaohao did not look for the source of the sound, but still lowered his head and replied, "I dare not continue."

Any panda man knows that mantids are terrible enemies, they regard all flesh and blood as food, and they always come in groups and rarely act alone.

Shaohao was silent for a long time. He should have left, but his feet were not in control and motionless. Retreating in front of the respected Xuanniu Sauce would definitely disappoint the other party. Moreover, the Monkey King is in danger now. Looking into the field, he saw Xuanniu Sauce, whose huge horns were shining in the dusk.

Feeling the emperor's hesitation, Xuanniu sniffed out a breath. He knew very well that everything was difficult at the beginning.

"Follow your footsteps!" Xuanniu said, "The road is at your feet."

Shaohao crossed the city wall and stepped onto the strange land. For the emperor, this place was simply his nightmare. His steps were light, but he did not stop. Soon, he heard a terrifying sound.

Three mantid soldiers were arguing about how to share their prey - the Monkey King! The monkey was tied up by a vine on the branch and struggled to shout for help.

The emperor was paralyzed by fear, his eyes trembled as his body. The jagged sound of the mantis made him dizzy,

"What should I do?"

Xuanniu's voice came: "Someone will tell you."

The emperor poked his head out again and found a warrior who was thinner than a mantid suddenly jumped out from behind another tree. He rushed towards the three mantids with a giant sword. Shaohao thought he was crazy. In terms of strength or speed, this dark figure was no match for the mantids.

But what the emperor unexpectedly expected was that the person who stood up did not wave his sword to cut the mantid, but crashed into a sacred tree of the mantid plateau, with crystal amber on it.

The man hit the fragile Kaipa Holy Tree with force, and huge amber fell one after another. This time, it was the mantids' turn to be nervous. They fled in a hurry in the rain of resin. The amber made their wings difficult to flap and even limited their ability to move.

Shaohao witnessed everything with his own eyes. The man cut off the vines that bound the Monkey King with his sword and rescued the emperor's friends. However, the crisis was not over, and the riot attracted more mantids. There was only one tree with enough amber to deal with them, but the Monkey King and his savior were too far away from it, and the cunning mantids stood in front of the tree, carefully guarding against the preys once again using the same method to deal with them.

The Monkey King and the other ones could not touch the tree, but Emperor Shaohao could do it. He kept hiding in the dark...

"Go!" Xuanniu Fenzao's voice once again reached Shaohao's ears, "Don't let fear control you, the young emperor, but let you control fear yourself."

The emperor clenched his fists and cheered up. He rushed to the tree boldly. Like the one who saved the Monkey King just now, he smashed the trunk of the Kaipa tree with his arm and elbow. The amber was like rain from the sky, and the mantids became the target of being hit. Shaohao saved his companions.

"I'm grateful for your step forward, warrior." Shaohao clasped his fists to the person beside the Monkey King. "If it weren't for you, my friend might have become a meal in the belly of the mantid." The emperor said, looking at the other person. Because his face was covered, Shaohao couldn't see what the other person looked like. He could only stare at the cringe-willing eyes and... he couldn't hear the other person's breathing.

"Who are you?"

"Nathanos..." The dead voice was so loud that this was the first time he had called out his name in such a long time. This name made him so strange that he felt that he was lying when he even said it.

But there is a problem between the two people, that is, neither of them understands each other's language. The undead can only guess based on their feelings that the furry guy in front of him is asking his name.

In contrast, Nathanos was also observing Shaohao and the Monkey King. The reason he saved this monkey was because he first saw a monkey flying in the sky, and the Monkey King would speak a language that he could not understand.

Now Nathanos can be sure that the owner of this land is this black and white race. Compared with the monkeys who are more funny and primitive, the bear creatures who ask him are more harmonious. Although his figure is round, his bones and muscles have a strong feeling, and his clothes are similar to robes and are sewn with very good touch satin. This is enough to show that the race he represents must be as civilized as the night elves.

"This is my friend, Monkey King." Shaohao continued, but no matter what he said, the undead would not reply. The Monkey King, who is good at observing, muttered a few words in the emperor's ear. Shaohao's eyes magnified, he nodded, and then began to communicate with Nathanos in a difficult way by using words and gestures.

His first question was where Nathanos came from.

The panda man was at a loss and was funny. Nathanos smiled at the corner of his hidden mouth. He turned his head and pointed his finger at the direction he came - the Kingdom of the Night Elf.

"That's the kingdom of the night elves."

Xuanniu Soap appeared in a whirlwind, so huge that Nathanos didn't react at the first time. Strangely, he and Shaohao could understand the words of Soap.

"Who are you?"

"I am Xuanniu Fenzao. Young man, I know the purpose of you here, but I want to tell you that you cannot get help from the panda people. Emperor Shaohao is undertaking a crucial trial."

Nathanos sneered, wondering why the huge soap was left without a single footprint on the road he walked through.

‘Emperor? Is their leader?’ Nathanos thought.

"The world is on the verge of doomsday, your emperor is still in the trial?" The undead looked at the Panda Man, unable to feel the breath of the leader in him, but it reminded him of his childhood self.

“There is nothing to be told about this.”

"Then I'm wasting my time?" Nathanos stepped closer to Xuanniu.

"You can think so. But as a reward for your hard work here, can I tell you a secret?"

Secret? Nathanos frowned. Is it related to defeating the Burning Legion?

"What a secret."
