World of Warcraft Murloc City Guide - Chapter 397 The Power of Corruption

After Hamuul sat on the ground and rested for a while, he regained some energy.

There were still four Fang Druid leaders in the Dream Stone who had not woken up yet, so Hamuul decided to continue his unfinished purification ritual.

First, he had to retrieve the gems of the four Fang Druid leaders from the pool.

After several battles, the four gems had been disturbed by the slime monsters and covered by the dirty mud in the pool.

This was not a problem for the fishmen. Brack and his team went down to the pool and searched for a while, and soon found all four gems.

These were four dark green gems. Yang Yi took a look and found that they were named [Severidis Gem], [Pysas Gem], [Brian Gem] and [Anacondra Gem].

According to Nara, the nightmares of the four Fang Druid leaders lingered in these four gems, and they needed to be purified before they could wake up.

After finding all the gems, Hamuul picked up the staff, came to the pool and began to cast a spell.

Yang Yi had seen the purification ritual of the Minotaur. It took three nights to purify the polluted Dead Water Oasis Lake. This time, Hamuul would need to purify the corrupt and polluted elements in the Dream Stone, which would take longer.

Fortunately, the biggest threat in the pool, the fishman Mutanus, had been defeated, and Bain and Nara were guarding nearby, so there was no need to worry about safety.

Yang Yi and his team took the initiative to take the responsibility of vigilance.

Because the mutant beasts did not dare to approach the Dream Stone, they actually had nothing to do.

After the ooze monster was destroyed, it turned into a pool of mud. Looking at the corpses of the ooze monsters on the ground, Yang Yi remembered the fortune of the goblin McBeck.

McBeck wanted to make a wisdom drink, and he needed something called [Wailing Essence], which was said to be only found on the ooze monsters in the Howling Cave.

“Maibok is willing to reward anyone who retrieves the Wailing Essence. He also said that he would give more after making a lot of money.”

Thinking of making money, Yang Yi squatted beside a pile of slime monster corpses and used a stone he picked up as a tool to dig up the mud.

The mud gave off a foul smell.

For the sake of gold coins, Yang Yi endured it.

After digging back and forth for a while, Yang Yi really found the Wailing Essence that Maibok said.

It was a dark green gelatinous substance, the size of a pigeon egg, and looked like jelly.

After confirming it with the Lord’s Eye, Yang Yi found an empty bottle for alchemical potions and put the Wailing Essence in it.

There were still many slime monster corpses in the Dream Stone, so Yang Yi gave the bottle containing the Wailing Essence to Brak and asked him to take people to collect them one by one.

Everyone ran to dig up the mud, except for the little fishman with an empty barrel who walked towards the fishman Mutanus who fell to the ground. He took out the first aid bandage and bandaged Mutanus.

This Mutanus had nine lives. He was knocked down twice, but he survived miraculously.

After the simple treatment of the little fishman Empty Wine Barrel, Mutanus opened his eyes with difficulty, and his hands and feet could move slightly again.

“Empty Wine Barrel, stay away from this fishman, be careful of being bitten.” Yang Yi went over to stop the little fishman Empty Wine Barrel who was still bandaging Mutanus.

“This fishman is just hungry and wants to eat.” The little fishman Empty Wine Barrel said, and took out a piece of pork jerky from his bag and put it on the ground in front of Mutanus.

Mutanus looked at the pork jerky in front of him and did not move. He didn’t know whether he didn’t want to eat or didn’t have the strength.

“We can’t understand what this fishman said, how do you know he is just hungry? Look, he doesn’t eat at all.” Yang Yi quickly pulled the little fishman Empty Wine Barrel away.

For a period of time, Hamuul’s purification ceremony continued.

In addition to guarding on the side, Nara was also responsible for helping Hamuul. She took out various materials needed for the purification ceremony from her bag from time to time, obviously she had prepared it in advance.

Yang Yi had nothing to do, so he went to chat with Baine and Nara.

Nara is an excellent druid who has been paying attention to the Howling Caves for a long time. From Nara, Yang Yi learned a lot about what happened in the Howling Caves.

A few years ago, the archdruid Nararex and a group of like-minded believers walked into the dark Howling Caves. He originally tried to use the energy of the Emerald Dream to help the Barrens recover. As a result, he somehow touched the Emerald Nightmare and fell into the dream.

Nararex therefore slept in the Dream Stone for many years.

Since then, the Howling Caves have also changed. The water here has become dirty, and the beasts that drank the water have all become mutant beasts.

Some of Nararex’s followers were corrupted and twisted during this period and became fang druids. The fang druids no longer follow Nararex’s ideas, but are only dedicated to spreading darkness, and have become mortal enemies with the uncorrupted Nararex believers.

Later, Nararex’s followers and adventurers defeated the fang druids and awakened Nararex.

…

A few days later, Hamuul’s purification ritual was finally completed.

The water in the Howling Caverns became visibly clearer, and even the sound of the flowing water seemed to be much lighter.

The leaders of the four Fang Druids woke up one after another.

When the nightmare-haunted gem was purified, the Fang Druids’ minds were restored.

The night elf Serpentis, once the most outstanding student of the Archdruid Naralex, later became the evil King of the Fang.

The other three night elves also had extraordinary talents in the druidic way, but they still couldn’t fight against the corruption that made them lose their minds.

Because of this unbearable past, the four night elf druids decided to stay in the Howling Caves and not go out for the time being.

After completing the purification ceremony, Hamuul and Nara prepared to leave.

“What should we do with this murloc?” Yang Yi asked.

The murloc Mutanus sat on the ground, and the piece of pork jerky that the little murloc gave him with the empty barrel had been eaten at some point.

Hamuul turned his head and looked at Mutanus. He said slowly: “This murloc was also affected by the corrupt power of nightmare and became a monster that devoured everything. Now that this influence has been eliminated, this murloc will return to normal. Let it continue to live in this pool.”

As a tauren, Hamuul chose the most peaceful way to deal with it.

Hamuul said so, so did others.

The murloc Mutanus was saved again. She silently got up, stepped into the pool, and then sank.

Yang Yi heard that Mutanus had returned to normal, and checked it with the Lord’s Eye before she entered the pool.

[Name]: Mutanus

[Qualification]: A

[Level]: Level 7 Murloc Reed Weaver

[Race]: Dream Murloc

[Gender]: Female

…

[Note]: Devourer Mutanus has lost the corrupting power of nightmares, and she is waiting for the day when she can regain the evil power again.

“Level 7, after losing the corrupting power of nightmares, Mutanus’s level has also dropped a lot. Or maybe level 7 is her real level, and the power to devour everything before was affected by the evil power.” Yang Yi thought.

Yang Yi was also concerned about Mutanus’s profession. She was a Murloc Reed Weaver, which was the Druid profession of the Murlocs.

Murloc Reed Weaver is a rare profession, so we must find a way to trick Mutanus to come to Ratchet Town.
