Chapter 9 - Shado-Pan Temple
…………
Watching the panda monks who had not known each other for a few days left Nathanos was mixed with emotion.
It’s not that he is worried about the safety of these monks, but that he sees his past self. The wither who always brings the forgotten to fight in all directions.
The body of the undead can only make his body no longer feel tired, but it cannot stop his mind from having the idea of rest.
Years of war and several experiences of wandering on the brink of life and death not only sucked his body, but also his mind was severely tested.
If he did not recast this body, he would not be able to hold on at all.
"Maybe this is the last time we have seen them." Shao walked to him and looked at the backs of the shadow leopards in the distance.
The undead smiled. "Maybe I can see them, but I may not recognize them."
"Your ideas are more optimistic than mine, at least you think they will survive." Shao's words were full of worries. As a commander who had fought countless times with the mantid, he knew very well how dangerous that kind of creature was. Are these monks who went to the battlefield really ready?
"They reminded me of my soldiers. I had similar concerns when I left my people, but I reminded myself to have confidence in them."
"I'm curious about your kingdom, the Withering One. I believe that many scholars on the mainland want to know how you are..."
"Master Shao!" A young monk who was driving Xianglong called out loudly. He urged the giant beast under his crotch to speed up. Although Shao and Nathanos had noticed him.
The young monk jumped down before Xianglong could land smoothly. He was too anxious when he landed, which injured one of his arms.
"What are you doing? Are you desperate?" Shao accused. He caught a glimpse of the white tiger mark on the monk's belt. The other party undoubtedly came from the Shadow Sect. How could he be so reckless and impulsive?
"He must have something important to say, Shao," said Nathanos.
The monk gasped and lowered his head, as if he had just witnessed some terrifying experience.
Shao Ping recovered his dissatisfaction and gave him a look of forgiveness. "Speak slowly, child. What exactly happened?"
"It's all messed up!" The monk roared out, and because he used too much force, he started coughing again.
Nathanos noticed that the rope of the dragon came from the Shadow and Zang Zen Temple, the base camp of the Shadow and Zang School.
"Is there something wrong with the shadow gate? Where is the head of the sect?"
"They were all occupied by evil demons."
The undead behind Shao He was shocked, thinking that the monk was making a big joke. "Nonsense! How could Zhu Talan be? He is the head of the Shadow Trap Sect!"
"I don't know." The monk's eyes were filled with tears. "Master Gu, Master Zhu, and many fellow disciples were all in a state of madness. Only Master Xueliu still stood firm in a stronghold in the temple. He tried his best to buy time for me, so that I could escape and seek help."
"What the hell is this... what happened?" Shao turned his gaze to Nathanos.
The wither stared at the direction where the Shadow Trace Zen Temple was.
"Even the head of Zhu and Master Gu Chuanyun were controlled, it only means that the evil demons who attacked them were not ordinary people."
Shao nodded. "The location of Shadow Trap Zen Temple is indeed sealed with three evil demons, namely angry, crazy, and cruel. But they were already sealed by His Majesty Shaohao back then." When he said this, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. "Did they break through the seal?"
The answer was already obvious, Nathanos closed his eyes and refused to give too much explanation.
During the period of time following Bai Huxue's angry practice, he deeply realized how much impact the dispute will have on this land.
The war had swept Pandalia, and the devastating conflict between the tribe and the alliance caused riots to break out in the solemn Shadow Sect Temple. There was no doubt that the demon had escaped from the cage and began to persecute the Shadow Sect defenders who guarded them.
"We must go back," said Shao. "I will go to summon the monks immediately. I hope it will be too late."
Before he could walk a few steps, Nathanos's voice tripped his feet. "The eyes of the mantids kept staring here, Shao. If the Great Wall's defenses became weaker, they would immediately attack. At that time, not only the Great Wall barrier, but the Temple of Wanzao will be completely surrounded, and Kunlai Mountain will also be attacked by them."
"What should I do? Go and seek help from Tianshen Xuefu?"
"The gods never personally intervened in the struggle between the panda people and the evil demons." The wither shook his head and made up his mind to say, "I'll go to the Shadow Trap Temple."
"You? You are the only one?" Shao stared at him with wide eyes.
"Of course not." Nathanos turned around and faced the young monk. "What's your name?"
"Ban Ambition."
"So...ban, tell me, are you afraid?"
"The only thing I'm afraid of is that my fellow disciples didn't wait until I went back to save them."
Nathanos nodded slightly with satisfaction. "Very good, go to comfort your Xianglong, it will take off again soon. Shao, let your people prepare some gunpowder for us, without too much."
"Wait a minute, are you two? This is ridiculous! So many disciples of the Shadow Trap Sect could not resist the evil demon." Shao stood up to object. He had heard that Nathanos was not simple before, but he didn't expect that his most prominent side was his courage.
"We will gather scattered monks along the way," said Nathanos.
While pulling Xianglong, Ban was thinking about the words of the undead. He knew that this was just an excuse for Nathanos to send Shao. On the way he came, Ban didn't see a monk in the wilderness of Kunlai Mountain.
"How many more points will there be in the winning position?"
"In a word, there cannot be any changes in the defense of the Great Wall."
...
"Tell me where we are going, scholars?" Sylvanas asked.
Zhou Zhuo was sitting behind his dragon turtle looking at a scroll, which seemed to be a map of the Emerald Forest.
The female elf has no mount, so she can only use her legs to keep up with the panda man's pace. Fortunately, the creature wrapped in the shell is not very fast, otherwise her physical energy consumption will be very tight.
"Go to Tianchan Temple, to the north of the Emerald Forest. It is a place where the pandas and other races learn together, and it is also a place where Nathanos once stayed."
Nathanos actually went to the Pandas school? Sylvanas suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Is he still there?"
"No, he was taken away. But before finding him, I think you should know about his experience in Pandalia."
The female elf recalled the fantasy that Huimeng Fairy Wine allowed her to see.
"Has he been taken away by a huge tiger?"
