Grand Arcanist of Azeroth

Chapter 299 The Difficult Journey of Searching for the Black Lotus
Herald wandered around the lava area near Blackstone Mountain, looking for the black lotus that was most likely to appear here.

However, a very rare plant like the black lotus has never been seen.

Xalatas, who was following behind him, was talking despondently along the way.

"Give up, it's impossible to find here!"

"When those orcs passed by, they ate up all the plants."

"Young man, don't be so stubborn. The black lotus you are looking for is definitely not here!"

As the remnant of the claws of the Old Gods, Xal'atath's ability to speak out is beyond doubt.

Of course, it is definitely not as good as Yogg-Saron.

That's the professional liar who fooled the guardian of the titans into a circle just by beeping with his mouth.

Xal'atath's words were annoying, but they were true.

When the orc war first started, he was going to fool the orcs into working for nothing.

Therefore, for the invasive species of orcs, Xalatas naturally did a lot of work.

Learn how invasive species behave and what they want most.

These are all necessary elements for manipulating the mind.

It is equivalent to a PUA maniac conducting preliminary investigations on girls who are about to attack.

Therefore, even if Xalatas said a few words casually, these were exactly what he said.

The orcs have plundered the Burning Steppes quite thoroughly.

Although the Burning Plain is huge, every blade of grass here has been scooped up by them!

According to Xalatas' speculation, the scorching canyon with a harsher environment should be better.

Because the environment over there is bad enough.

In the Scorching Canyon in the game, the monster level is below the Burning Plains.

There is no such thing as monster level in reality.

It is nonsense to evaluate the level of the region by this.

For example, the wild wolves in the Burning Plains were not much stronger than the wild wolves in the Elwynn Forest.

The quality of the natural environment is an important indicator to evaluate the situation of the region.

In the scorching canyon in reality, the earth was torn with huge wounds by the earthquake.

So the situation here is much more serious than the Burning Plains!
It is a blessing that the orcs can pass through safely in such a harsh environment!

Herald thought about it and decided to try his luck in Scorching Canyon.

After all, that side is also part of the extension of Black Rock Mountain.

Teleported to the highest point of Blackstone Mountain, Herald saw the platform extending from the Blackstone Tower below.

On the platform where there was no decent defensive force before, there are now a few tall black dragonmen standing guard.

A black dragon more than [-] meters long was lying on the ground and dozing.

In the game plot, the black dragon prince Nefarian is on this platform, and greedy players come here every week to refresh equipment.

Glancing at the black dragon man standing respectfully and respectfully, and the black dragon that moved occasionally, Herald suspected that this was Nefarian.

Regardless of its size or status, the black dragon seemed to be of high status.

But Herald doesn't want to experience the good things about killing dragons and hanging buffs in the game.

After all, at this point in time, only Deathwing committed the crime himself.

The other black dragons haven't really confronted the Aspects yet.

And at the very top of Dragonrest Temple in Dragonbone Wilderness, the Black Dragon Ambassador was still attending the guardian dragon meeting there.

If the black dragon were really slaughtered and its head hung on the gate of Stormwind City, one can imagine the consequences!

So Herald just glanced at the platform below, and quickly flashed down to the other side of the mountain.

Just as his figure disappeared from the top of the mountain, the black dragon lying on the platform basking in the sun opened his eyes and glanced at the empty top of the mountain.

There were space fluctuations flashing there just now, as well as the auras of several other giant dragons.

"Could it be that the bronze dragon brought other dragons to spy on me while sleeping?"

The black dragon muttered suspiciously, then closed his eyes and continued to bask in the sun.

If you haven't done anything bad, there is no need to be afraid of being peeped by the bronze dragon.

At this time, Herald, who had come to the bottom of the mountain, went straight to the north of the scorching canyon.

Searing Canyon is divided into north and south regions by a huge east-west rift.

The south is the range of activities of the orcs, basically no grass grows.

Although there is a road to the north.

But the orcs didn't have too much time to spare, and went to places where the birds didn't shit.

Therefore, there will be a greater chance of finding black lotus in the north.

Looking at this land with an extremely harsh environment, Herald felt that it would not be much better than the fel energy wasteland.

Even in some places, the fel wasteland is better than here.

At least some places in the Fel Wastes have water.

Although it is green and fel sewage.

But it's better than the magma flowing everywhere here.

What kind of plants can survive here?
Herald had never seen that kind of natural miracle with his own eyes.

However, as it gradually penetrated into the northern region, plants that escaped the claws of the orcs began to appear.

And there are quite a few of them.

It was a red plant that looked like it was burning.

Comparing the complete herbal medicine illustrated book, Herald found that this was his No. [-] target, a flame flower that was also very resistant to high temperatures.

The high temperature resistance of this thing is no worse than that of the black lotus.

But in terms of comprehensive resistance, Flame Grass is really not good.

Black lotus is resistant to high and low temperatures and is also particularly resistant to pollution.

Wherever the environment is bad, it has a special hobby.

It is this special hobby of not dying and not giving up that makes the black lotus extremely rare.

Flaming flowers, a time-sensitive, heat-resistant plant, can be seen everywhere after leaving the orc's range of activities.

Seeing that these stems, leaves and flowers are all fiery red plants, Herald decided to look for the black lotus again.

He wants to improve the Mushroom Man with the best plants.

If you really can't find the black lotus, then choose this kind of flame grass with a single resistance.

Looking at the thriving flame flowers that can be seen everywhere on the road, Herald felt that plants can be so tenacious.

He has searched for a long time on the land where the magma flows, and so far he has only seen this kind of high temperature resistant plant.

A person's power is limited.

Herald decided to get some helpers to come and look for it together.

Arcane golems and fire elemental creatures are very suitable for activities here.

But these guys are colorblind, and they can't tell the color of the plants at all.

As for the reconnaissance satellites in the sky, the resolution cannot reach the level of seeing small things on the ground clearly.

Maybe a small black stone will be regarded as a black lotus.

So Herald decided to seek help from a high elf ranger with good scouting skills.

Soon, more than thirty high elf rangers with sparrowhawk pets walked out of the portal and came to this very hot area.

However, Herald provided them with magic props that could activate the ice shield.

As long as you input mana, you can experience what is called ice and fire in this ghostly place of hot boiled eggs.

As for those sparrowhawk pets, they're much better off flying higher.

The vision of birds like eagles is exaggerated.

They can see a mouse on the ground at a height of several thousand meters.

Although they focus more on the active stuff.

But look for something that's not too bulky and black.

With the help of these fully automatic drones in the search, the Black Lotus has nowhere to hide.
