There was a bunch of bottles and jars. There was a potion that could hide from the smell of the corpse-eating dogs. The smell was not strange, but it was not pleasant. Everyone hesitated for a while, but decided to spray it on themselves when they could see the dogs.
There was also the antidote for rabies. Eating it would remove the debuff, but the price of this thing was really ridiculous.
Ashram Varofest's talent in business was as good as his talent in battle. Since Lu Li had no choice but to buy it, he did not hesitate. Lu Li did not spend that much money on all the supplies he had prepared, but in the end, Lu Li could only grit his teeth and accept it.
With these things, they could complete the mission.
As for whether this trip was profitable or not, that was a question to consider after the mission was over. Right now, all their preparations were to complete the mission.
The ruins of Andorhal.
This place was not unfamiliar to Lu Li. He had seen this place in many documents.
It was a small town in the middle of Lordaeron, and used to be the main grain producer of the Lordaeron Kingdom. In the third war, Arthas saved this town from the threat of the undead. But later, when Arthas became a minion of the Scourge, he destroyed this place.
Uther the Lightbringer was killed by Arthas here.
As the young Paladin's mentor, Uther the Lightbringer had tried many times to persuade Arthas to give up his crazy ways and return to the path of light that the Paladins followed. But for the young Arthas, there was nothing more important than revenge. Arthas stubbornly led his troops and followed the Dreadlord Mal 'Ganis to the snow-covered Northrend Continent.
There, he finally got what he wanted. He pulled out the magic sword Frostmourne without any regard for the consequences …
Arthas completely deviated from the path of light that the Paladins followed. Using the dark power of the magic sword, he first killed his father, King Terenas, and then three of his fellow Paladins. Finally, Uther was killed in Andorhal by his beloved apprentice, the Death Knight Arthas.
Arthas took away the urn of King Terenas that Uther was protecting and used it to complete the Lich Ritual of Kel 'Thuzad in the Sunwell.
A small team under Ashram Varofest's command had encountered some followers of the Cult of the Damned here. Some were killed, while others escaped.
They seemed to be looking for something called a Shard of Holy Light.
Lu Li's interest was piqued. He didn't expect to find traces of Holy Light Shards here. It was a rare and precious material that was usually used to forge powerful equipment for Paladins or Priests.
He did not doubt Ashram Varofest's words. Everyone knew that Wuther the Lightbringer was killed here. He was a powerful Paladin, and when he died, the Holy Light in his body would condense into Holy Light Shards.
"If you can bring back a Shard of Holy Light, I'll give all of this to you for free," Ashram Varofest said generously.
"Don't worry, if I can find a Shard of Holy Light, I'll definitely bring it back for you." Lu Li was even more generous, but in reality, he despised Ashram Varofest. What kind of joke was this? He wanted to trade for a Shard of Holy Light with such a small amount of resources, unless he was trying to fool those who didn't know the value of a Shard of Holy Light.
However, Ashram Varofest obviously didn't know that Lu Li had already seen through him. In the end, he even gave Lu Li a few bottles of potions that could cure the plague.
Of course, they couldn't really cure the plague. The Undead Plague had always been an incurable disease in Azeroth. Even the most powerful Potioneering Master couldn't do anything about it. The so-called treatment here could only cure those who had just been infected, and there was a certain probability of success.
Lu Li and the others were players, so they didn't need these things at all.
However, with the principle of not taking advantage of something, Lu Li didn't hesitate to put these bottles of potion into his bag.
Then, the five of them walked out of the Ice-sealed Stronghold and disappeared into the area where the plague had spread.
The once fertile land had now lost all traces of birds and beasts. The lush greenery had long since become a part of the scorched yellow sand. The Natural Disaster not only changed the lives of the people in Azeroth, but also affected the land. No one knew if this land would ever be cured one day.
"We need to find some monsters to test their strength first. Although we've heard that the monsters in the Plaguelands have become stronger, we don't know exactly how strong they are," Lu Li said. He didn't want to rush into the depths of the Plaguelands.
The first thing they saw were a few ordinary Undead.
In the Plaguelands, skeletons like this could be seen everywhere. Some of them were relatively complete, while others could only drag their broken bodies through the wilderness.
The ones in front of them were relatively incomplete. Two of them were very small, and when they were alive, they were probably underage children. When the Natural Disaster came, it was unknown if these ignorant children knew what they were facing. Their lives hadn't even truly begun.
Lu Li took out his long-ranged weapon and shot an arrow at one of the Undead at the edge.
Then, the Undead that was missing an arm staggered towards them. Its movement speed was average, and the other Undead were indifferent. It seemed like their perception range and intelligence were relatively low, and they didn't seem any different from before.
"Let me try," Water Fairy went up and slashed her dagger across the Undead's neck.
Clang!
It was a successful hit, and the target was successfully stunned. However, the damage dealt was a little too horrible to look at.
"It only dealt a few hundred damage," Water Fairy frowned, "And this monster has over 10,000 HP, so it only dealt around 400 damage. This isn't something that the previous monsters could do. It's even stronger than the average Level 60 Elite."
After the data came out, Lu Li felt a chill in his heart.
No wonder there were all sorts of descriptions on the forums about how overpowered the Plaguelands' monsters were. These Undead were just cannon fodder, and yet they were already so powerful.
Lu Li was extremely glad that he brought a healer like Innocent Child with him. As long as the monsters couldn't instantly kill everyone, and as long as the healer could heal them, any difficulty wouldn't be a problem. That was, of course, if they didn't provoke those that they couldn't afford to provoke.
Even if it had 10,000 HP, it couldn't last more than a few rounds against four Thieves, and the little Undead quickly died.
It dropped a piece of trash, and Lu Li felt like it was a waste of space to even pick it up.
It was obvious that the Plaguelands were hard to deal with right now. Not only had the number of monsters increased by several times, but the items they dropped weren't that good either. The remaining monsters confirmed Lu Li's judgment. These monsters didn't drop anything other than rags.
"The monsters are a little strong. If you don't have to fight them, don't attack them. I'll go into Stealth at the front. You guys follow me," Lu Li, who had Enhanced Stealth, was undoubtedly the best scout.
They would hide whenever they encountered a monster, and it took them more than an hour to cover a path that would normally only take ten minutes.
"Shh, stop." Lu Li suddenly stopped. After a while, a small and skinny canine creature ran out of an abandoned building. It was very, very skinny, and basically looked like a skeleton wrapped in a layer of skin. Its eyes were red, and it was very conspicuous in the fog-filled ruins of Andorhal.
"How did you find it?" Cain's Left Hand was extremely shocked.
They were both Thieves, but Lu Li was only slightly ahead of him. How was it that Lu Li could spot the Necrophagus in a blind spot, but he didn't?
"The fog is moving, and if you listen carefully, there's a sound," Lu Li explained.
"Impressive." Cain's Left Hand understood.
"The Corpse Hound is the pet of the Cult of the Damned. If we find the Corpse Hound, there will definitely be followers of the Cult of the Damned nearby. We'll spray some potions on ourselves to prevent the Corpse Hound from discovering us. We'll decide whether or not to attack when we see the followers of the Cult of the Damned. It'll be best if we discover their ritual," Lu Li assigned the direction of the search.
