Chapter Sixty - Rhine
…………
A cool and soothing wind blew through the tall oak trees in the Holy Light Wish Chapel, peacefully descending in this quiet place, leaving Rhine's lonely thoughts. The night elves gently brushed the emerald green hair on their faces, and after greeting the people in the camp, they turned into a beautiful dark purple cheetah, trotting along the trail. Despite her repeated experiments over the past few weeks, Rhine was still unwilling to give up. She tried to purify the pollution of the plague land. Most people misunderstood her as a member of the Silver Dawn. In fact, she had never swore to believe in the Holy Light. She only came here as a guest, and she belonged to the Senario Council.
The ridge of the mountains is as familiar as the back of her hands. Whenever the daily meditation is over, she will go to the sick wood forest, which is close to Stantam, the most severely infected place. She thought that perhaps one day the entire plague land will be cured.
In recent weeks, the undead has no longer flooded. Since Kel Thuzad was defeated and his life guard was obtained by the Silver Dawn, the natural disasters that flew into the plague land have become much more peaceful.
This is also why Rhine was allowed to approach the diseased wood forest, and despite this, she still couldn't stay for too long.
After Kel Thujad's failure, neither the Silver Dawn nor the Blood Crusaders were able to recover Stantosom, and groups of undead spirits were still entrenched in the city.
They must be waiting for the right time to make a comeback. Silver Dawn leader Maxwell warned members of the organization like this. Rhine thought he was right.
As always, the night elves prayed on the road, hoping that they could see different scenery when they returned to the sick wood forest. Perhaps a little naive, she hoped that the seeds she planted in the woodland could sprout. But when she came to her destination, she still disappointed her when she opened the soil. The surface of the seeds was attached with a black shell, which was completely contaminated.
Rhine sighed, and she observed the surroundings left and right, confirming that there was no danger around her, so she carefully put the dug seeds into a cloth bag, took out the new seeds and buried them in the pit, and watered them. These ungerminated lives were blessed, and Rhine firmly believed that Elune's favor could bless the land.
After returning from work at hand, the night elf discovered that she had been staying for a long time without realizing it. The path winded towards the dense forest, and there were no outposts nearby.
A few minutes later, she turned and left, turning into a cheetah and running into the open space. But suddenly her heart cooled down. On the road, three hunched figures were walking towards her. Just like the surprise she showed when she found the other person, the other person immediately became alert when he saw her. That was not humans, maybe they were, but now they have become dead.
Rhine quickly looked around and confirmed that there were no ambush. But why were there undead on the continent? The Blood Crusader sent people to patrol every day, and it was impossible for the undead to wander here swagger. It really surprised her that these cruel beasts could appear in front of her so sloppy. No, the undead had not moved for a long time, and there must be another reason for their appearance.
Rhine didn't like fighting, so she roared a few times in the form of a cheetah, hoping to scare away the two undead.
But one of the undead's movements was to quickly touch the battle axe behind him.
Rhine gritted her teeth. However, despite preparing to attack, she still realized that the undead in front of her was unusually calm from other undeads. In her impression and the description of the undead by the Silver Dawn members, they all said that they were brainless creatures. When they saw living creatures, they rushed up directly, instead of standing in place when they were attacking as they were now. Rhine also noticed that they were all equipped with brand new armor and handguards.
They stood quietly with each other, as if waiting for each other to take action first. Rhine did not dare to act without action, after all, she suffered a loss in number. But unexpectedly, after the three undead nodded to each other, one of them came out. He nodded to Rhine, as if he wanted to fight alone with her.
In front of the undead's calm manner, Rhine rushed up in a little panic. The undead moved sideways and avoided the first wave of attacks from the night elves, while swinging an arc with a big axe. Rhine kicked his back leg and controlled his body to avoid the fierce attack. At the same time, he picked up his claws and stabbed the undead's abdomen without any chance. However, the latter skillfully blocked it with a battle axe and slid backwards to obtain greater space.
They began to slowly circle around, estimating each other's strengths and weaknesses. Rhine was once again shocked by the calmness of the undead. The undead in her impression always rushed over desperately. Instead of using her wrists and strategies, they would rather use the desire for killing. However, the undead showed incredible skills and self-control.
After a while, Rhine began to doubt whether she could defeat this creature. For a moment, she even felt that her tired body and reaction would kill him at a critical moment. She groaned with a self-deprecating murmur, putting aside the common thoughts and preparing to continue fighting. She relaxed a little and regained her fighting instinct. The moon god favored her. No matter how unforgettable the fighting power of the undead was, it was always the product of darkness and the mortal enemy of human beings. They must be eliminated!
With a firm determination, Rhine rushed towards the undead again and gathered every force in her body to slam it. In the face of the night elves' raging attack, the undead was forced to retreat step by step, block, and avoid every blow of the druid. However, the undead's last exquisite blow broke the balance. Rhine took a few steps back tremblingly, and her right front leg was cut and blood slowly overflowed.
"Leinid, take the measure!" one of the companions behind the undead shouted.
The undead named Lenider nodded to his companion, stood still again, staring at Rhine. The night elves turned back into human form and half kneeled on the ground. Now her incredible expression was even more prominent. These vicious beasts had never grasped too much in the battlefield, which made her realize that besides vicious, the undead had more traits that she did not understand.
However, before she resolved the unknown situation, the most important thing now is to escape. One undead has made her very embarrassed, and two have not taken action so far. Rhine endured the severe pain and remained calm. After understanding her increasingly desperate situation, she closed her eyes and prayed to the Moon God.
A female undead behind Lenid heard the serious whisper and immediately came to alert. She rushed behind Lenid, grabbed his arm and pulled it back.
The starry light spots fell down (in order to know what skills this female elf can do, the author went to the Death Knight's novice mission, and continued to do the plot of the Ashes Messenger until the end of the plot, and only then did the undead trio dodged everywhere. Rhine felt the opportunity, ended the singing, turned into a cheetah and quickly fled the battle.
"She ran away!" Lenider patted the stain on the armor on his body.
"Let her go, I didn't plan to catch her." The female undead replied, then looked at another companion. "Rupert, are you okay?"
"I'm dead long ago, ma'am." Rupert came to Lilian Voss, who greeted him, and stared at the direction of Rhine's disappearance. "I'm afraid we've left a bad impression on her."
