I'm the king of the roll at Hogwarts

Chapter 307 Swarm Guard
The house where the mantis demon lives is rather strange, and is almost entirely made of amber. Living in the house always feels like the swaying orange light is about to blind one's eyes.

Even the Mantis do not live a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. The Klaxxi are a relatively civilized organization, and in fact their lives are no different from those of ordinary people.

Except for being abnormally paranoid about amber.

The mantis demon's meal was not that unacceptable. It was just a whole insect feast, not like Bear Grylls eating it raw. It was acceptable if it was roasted. At least that's what Louis thought. After all, he brought a lot of instant food.

Roasted scorpions are rich in nutrients and protein, and they are very delicious when eaten roasted. However, among all the people present, only Master Zhu was not afraid of the danger and dared to give it a try.

But it seems that Zhu Talan is also holding on. He doesn't want to lose face in front of the mantis demon.

It is better to suffer in order to save face.

Seeing the pain he was in while chewing, Kilruk laughed loudly, holding up the scorpion in his hand and said, "Pandaren... uh, young man, if you don't like this kind of thing, don't force yourself. Isn't it better to eat the same thing as your companions?"

"Who said I don't like it? Of course I like it!" Zhu Talan said immediately without hesitation. He picked up the pincers of another scorpion, lifted it up, and stuffed it into his mouth neatly, chewing it until the juice splashed everywhere.

"Delicious!" After swallowing it, Zhu Talan gave a thumbs up.

“You are so brave!” Kilruk gave a thumbs up. “This is the first time I’ve seen someone eat scorpions raw like you. My god, your stomach and intestines must be in trouble…”

This guy is really bad. He actually tricked and attacked Zhu Talan to eat scorpions alive...

The Mantis Demon is not a good person... Ron muttered to himself, and warned himself that he must never suffer this kind of torture just for a little face.

Old Chen shook his head, indicating that Zhu Talan was a hopeless child.

The Floo Network can also be connected to the Klaxxi. After weighing the pros and cons, Louis set up a permission for the Floo Network, at least to prevent the Mantid from crossing the Panlong Spine at will.

There is a saying that goes, you can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Maybe these mantis demons are very friendly to Louis for the time being, but he cannot guarantee that they will be equally friendly to the pandaren.

After all, they have been enemies for tens of thousands of years, and he couldn't guarantee that the mantis demon would suddenly change its temper.

"Eat quickly, after that we still have to wake up other heroes." Kilruk put down the amber cup and narrowed his eyes comfortably: "Ah, a long-lost amber drink. Speaking of which, I have been feeling extremely hungry since the seal was lifted. If the awakener was not here, I would definitely eat you, a fat panda..."

When Kilruk said this, he was looking at Zhu Talan.

"You really have no good intentions!" Zhu Talan was furious, pointing his thick bear paw at Kilruk and said unhappily.

Lao Chen quickly pushed him down and patted him on the back of his head: "Alright, he was just joking with you, but you took it seriously... If he wanted to be hostile to us, he would have done it a long time ago. Why would he wait until now?"

Zhu Talan snorted arrogantly and stopped looking at Kilruk. Instead, he savored the mantis demon's specialty - amber tea.

What kind of abstract person would be able to enjoy such an abstract drink? But looking at Zhu Talan's expression, he seemed to like it very much.

"Are you full?" Louis asked the three little ones.

"We're full." The three little ones nodded in unison. Although they didn't really want to drink the amber tea, they were quite interested in the roasted scorpion and even tried it.

Hmm...how should I put it? As expected of someone from the kingdom of dark cuisine, you have a high acceptance of such strange and bizarre things.

After the meal, the Klaxxi Council also delivered information about the next hero to be sealed.

"'Swarm Guardian' Hisek..." Kilruk tapped the table with his claws: "Ha, old friend I haven't seen for a long time..." When he said this, he looked around and whispered to Louis: "He is sealed in the Duskroot Swamp not far from Karaksivis. We may be able to find him there."

"The swamp is so big, how should we find it?" Louis raised his eyebrows and asked a soul-searching question.

Kilruk was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his hand to fiddle with his four tentacles: "See this thing? It can locate any position, and can also sense the presence of companions. Especially between the heroes of the Klaxxi, there is a bond that ordinary people cannot imagine."

"I see. To put it simply, it has a positioning system." Louis was amused. This tentacle was really convenient. It was like having a tomtom navigation plug-in installed innately.

"Although I don't quite understand what the positioning system is, I can understand what you mean, Awakener." The tentacles on Kilruk's mouth moved twice, making an expression that represents a smile among the Mantis.

But to others, it didn't seem like a smile, it seemed like someone was going to eat a child.

Still riding the giant amber scorpion, he went out through the gate of Karaksivis. The sky of the Fear Wasteland was extremely dark. Looking up, there were strange black and white clouds, with bright white in the center and gray and black clouds of evil energy spreading around, which looked a bit weird and terrifying.

"What is that? Why is the tree that color?" Hermione pointed at a towering tree in the distance in surprise and asked Kilruk curiously.

"That is the sacred tree of Kypa, Ik, which has been corrupted by the Sha." Kilruk glanced at the tree and sighed, "When Chaos first began, the first batch of sacred Kypa trees blossomed. The amber that flowed from those trees nurtured us Mantids. We call it Kypa Amber, which means the blood of the earth."

"Kypa amber has many uses. It heals our wounds and strengthens our bodies. Amber is the cornerstone of Mantid society. We apply this material to architecture, art, technology and other fields. The Queen and our Klaxxi Council guard the big tree on the Mantis Plateau - what we call the 'Kypa Sacred Tree'. It is the only source of precious amber."

Having said that, Kilruk looked in the direction of Panlong Spine.

"Legend has it that to the east of the Great Wall, the sacred trees of Kepa once grew luxuriantly. But the Mogu cut them all down during their endless war with the Mantid. This is why we have always been unfriendly to the Mogu."

"So this tree now... has it been completely corrupted?" Hermione stared blankly at the giant tree in the distance that was surrounded by black and white evil energy. For some reason, she always felt very sorry.

Such a beautiful tree actually suffered such a fate.

"It's been corrupted by the Sha energy. We need to stay away from it. There are a group of corrupted hive guards guarding around it. I don't want to have any conflict with them." Kilruk said with a click. "Haha, you are scared." Zhu Talan pointed at Kilruk, and his expression seemed to have discovered a new world.

Kilruk snorted and stroked his tentacles: "The other side has tens of thousands of people, and we only have six people. Do you want to deliver food?"

Zhu Talan shut up immediately.

After passing the big tree, there is another towering tree in front.

"The Kepa Sacred Tree, Zar," Kilruk took a breath and introduced it to everyone, "It looks like it hasn't been corrupted yet, or it's not deeply corrupted. But the situation is not optimistic. Look, there's a corrupted swamp under the roots of the tree..."

Following the direction pointed by Kilruk, they saw a muddy swamp. There was dim smoke covering the swamp, and all kinds of strange and brightly colored large mushrooms grew around the swamp.

"It looks quite lively here." Zhu Talan said meaningfully. He should have been talking about the swamp demons stumbling in the swamp.

Ron took a look at the monsters and took a deep breath. The monsters looked like humanoids, with a small head and a huge single eye that took up most of the head. Below the eye was a sharp mouth full of yellow fangs.

The body of the Swamp Demon seemed to be composed of the corrupted poisonous gas above the swamp. The smoky body condensed into substance, which was very terrifying.

"Stupefy!" Hermione drew out her wand and shot a murky swamp demon at it, which sent it stun-ing it more than ten meters away. It fell heavily on the swamp and was then slowly swallowed by it.

"This magic is very new. I have never seen it before. It doesn't seem to belong to the system of Azeroth." Kilruk looked at Hermione with interest and praised her spells.

"This is a Stunning Spell." Hermione answered honestly, "It's a spell unique to our wizarding world."

"It looks very interesting," Kilruk praised again, and turned to look at Louis: "Awakener, the 'Swarm Guardian' Hisek is buried under this swamp. If my positioning is correct, he is buried in the swamp in front of us."

"Then how do we dig him out?" Louis asked, kicking the dirt on the ground.

"Dig it out with your hands." Kilruk said solemnly, "Just dig him out the same way you dug me out."

Louis choked. So you have no backup plan to wake up your good brother, and you're counting on me, right?
He rolled his eyes at Kilruk and waved his hand. A purple wizard's hand condensed and with a push of his hand, he separated the rotten soil, revealing the orange-yellow crystals hidden inside.

"Sure enough, he's in there." Kilruk said happily, "My induction was correct. Hisek is buried underneath. Quick, Awakener, try harder. I feel he's about to come out..."

Louis rolled his eyes. It seemed like you weren't the one who suffered. How come you didn't realize that the Wind Raider also had the ability to talk without any hesitation?

As Louis dug further, the entire piece of amber was dug out. Under the dim light, he could still see the hisek wrapped inside.

Unlike Kilruk, Hisek only wore an inverted triangular visor, and his armor was also made of orange-red and gray-black diamonds. When Kilruk saw the amber being dug out, he immediately went forward and knocked and touched it left and right, trying to wake up Hisek, but he couldn't do it.

"How do I wake him up?" Kilruk scratched the back of his head, not ashamed to ask questions.

Zhu Talan finally found a reason to tease him, and immediately said sarcastically: "Hey, as a Klaxxi hero, don't you know how to wake up your companions?"

"I forgot." Kilruk did not feel ashamed. After all, he had been sealed for too long, and it was normal to forget something. He put his hand on Louis' shoulder and said earnestly, "I'll leave it to you, the Awakener!"

Louis sighed and reached out to touch the amber.

Under Kilruk's almost pilgrim gaze, the amber gradually melted, and Hisek's body was exposed to the air.

The same scenario happened. Hisek, who lost his support, fell to the ground with a thud. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and asked weakly, "Who woke me up? Ah... I feel the presence of my awakener. Let me see, my dear awakener..."

Judging from the voice, the Swarm Guard is quite young.

That's what I said a bit.

Kilruk kicked him and said with a look of disgust: "You were so busy looking for your awakener that you forgot about your old friend for so many years, you bastard."

"Ha, I feel a little hungry." Hisek said cheerfully, "Do you have amber syrup to drink? I haven't had it in years."

As he spoke, he straightened up and saw three pandamen.

"Hey, why are you being so polite? Just come and bring me three rations..." The swarm guard Hisek looked at the three pandas with shining eyes and drooled.

"Asshole! Who do you call food?" Zhu Talan was furious again. He shouted angrily, "You cruel fellow, I should have known this long ago..."

"What do you know?" Hisek stroked his mouthparts with a click, narrowed his eyes and said, "I was just joking with you. Are the pandas so incapable of taking jokes now? Back then, your emperor Shaohao was a man who could take jokes very well."

This was a problem for Zhu Talan. Shaohao was a legendary figure. Ten thousand years had passed since he transformed himself into mist to protect Pandaria from the Burning Legion. No one knew his whereabouts. Zhu Talan asked hesitantly, "You... know our emperor?"

"Of course I know him..." Hisek stroked his mouthparts. "That was many years ago. I was still a larva at that time. Actually, I still admire Emperor Shaohao very much. He is a truly great man."

Hisek's expression was very formal, and it was obvious that he admired Emperor Shaohao sincerely.

It is true that few people have this kind of awareness, especially the emperor who is at the top of the food chain. There are very few emperors who can sacrifice themselves for the people. Therefore, even the mantis demon who is in a hostile state respects Emperor Shaohao from the bottom of his heart.
