Chapter 577: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Before Jesse could answer, Molofeel suddenly leaped out from the shadows, wrapping his tail around the giant’s neck and lifting his right hand. The giant’s eyes moved to the side, then reached back to grab the succubus stabbing with a black blade!

The succubus’s mouth was bleeding purple, unleashing her power completely, fighting with Rexxar fiercely to help Jesse break free from his control.

But the demonic power she revealed was weaker than before… probably because using Soul Link helped Jesse endure the attacks he just received.

Or maybe she’s just taking too long to recover her energy.

At this moment, Jesse snapped out of the punch he just received and saw clearly the appearance of the monster in front of him.

Yes, this is Rexxar, with a much larger body than the average Orc, brown skin like mud, and the iconic black wolf head mask he always wears in the game now damply tied around his neck, probably for easier diving, allowing Jesse to see his face directly.

It’s just that his appearance is completely different from what Jesse expected. If he had to guess, both his body and head looked more like an Ogre than an Orc.

Of course, this guy is much more agile in his movements compared to an Ogre, and his fighting style does resemble that of an Orc.

Jesse grabbed his arm and said in Orcish language, "Rexxar! I’ve heard about you, we don’t need to fight!"

The succubus dodged Rexxar’s grasp and disappeared again. Rexxar glanced back at him, his expression growing angrier.

"You know our language, are you the student of that traitor? Or a follower of Gul’dan?"

Oh no, how did this misunderstanding get even bigger now?

"No…"

Before Jesse could speak, Rexxar exerted force and Jesse felt his body almost being snapped by the opponent!

Under the influence of Soul Link, Molofeel, who was planning to launch another attack from behind, had a change in expression. His feet went weak, losing balance, and was slapped to the side by Rexxar’s palm.

Seizing the opportunity as Rexxar turned around, Jesse immediately cast Curse of Weakness and Curse of Agony on him. Rexxar growled and released his grip, stepping back. Taking advantage of Rexxar’s momentary confusion caused by the sudden pain, Jesse then cast a dark shield on himself…

Rexxar rallied his spirits and fiercely swung another axe from behind, hitting hard on the shield. A burst of shadow explosion pushed him back several steps, causing the surrounding leaves to fall yellow and withered from the shockwave.

The shield was now shattered. As Rexxar raised his axe again to throw towards Jesse, an arrow from Quel’Thalas pierced his shoulder.

Rexxar muttered under his breath, removed the arrow and glanced sideways. Greed slid down from the high slope nearby, shouting, "Stop, monster!" Halforcen whistled loudly, and Jesse yelled, "Be careful, he has backup!"

Just as the words were spoken, a giant bear pounced from the cliff above and knocked down two dwarfs, rolling them into the river. As the giant bear was about to dive into the water, a strange force pushed it back, and Greed emerged from the water roaring madly, "Do you want to die, crazy mother bear?!"

The dwarf and the giant bear engaged in a fight while the sound of wolves howling echoed nearby. Gray wolf shadows emerged from various directions of the forest, blocking Vereesa who was approaching.

Mosa turned into a brown lion and charged into the wolf pack to help Vereesa. The wolves could only dodge the attacks and didn’t dare to come close. Rexxar glanced over and felt the situation quickly turning in their favor.

"Your friend cares about you a lot, we will meet again in the future, warlock," Rexxar said these words, then turned and ran towards the forest. He stopped abruptly after a few steps, staring fixedly into the deep bushes before returning.

He whistled a few times, and the wolves blocking Vereesa and Mosa immediately scattered in different directions into the deep forest. The giant bear also stopped fighting and took a few steps back, looking in their direction. Rexxar turned around and shouted in Orcish language, "Flee! Misha!"

However, the giant bear just stood up, roared at Rexxar, completely ignoring his command to leave.

Rexxar sighed, three Night Elves appeared from between the bushes, each holding a wooden bow aiming at the Halforcen like a brown earth wall.

Jesse heard movement behind him, he turned around and locked eyes with a Night Elf holding a bow and arrow aiming at him.

She was wearing silver armor, draped in a dark cloak, almost completely invisible in the shadows of the forest. If it weren’t for her silver eyes, Jesse couldn’t even see her face clearly and could only make out a faint silhouette.

Not far away, by the river bank, a few Night Elves were approaching the dwarf step by step. Greed took a few steps back and said, "I can’t put down my hammer, don’t force me…"

On Vereesa’s side, three sentries aimed their bows at her. She looked resentfully at the Halforcen on this side, muttering something in Sayaad language.

This place is surrounded by sentries, there are Night Elf shadows everywhere as far as the eye can see, probably around ten to twenty of them in total.

These guys came so many and so fast, they must have been ambushed nearby already.

Either these Night Elves are watching Rexxar, or they are watching this group of people, just don’t know when they were targeted, was it before they encountered those Night Elves, or after?

Of course, thinking about these things now doesn’t make much sense anymore.

Jesse used Detect Demon to look around and noticed that Molofeel had already hidden in some distant bushes at some point, observing from there.

He gently reminded in Demonic, "Get away from here, the farther, the better."

"Stop, human," a sentry behind them warned in a common language, "Do not attempt to use any evil spells again."

Jesse nodded and said, "We can prove that this whole thing was just a misunderstanding, madam."

The sentry just looked at him without saying anything, then a sentry captain riding a huge black panther emerged from the jungle, she glanced at the group surrounded by sentries in the middle, and said something to the nearby sentries in Elvish language.

Mosa lifted Sablelas’s magical staff and spoke some Elf words to the captain, who jumped off the big cat and came to Mosa’s side to take the staff. After examining it back and forth, the captain said a few words to the nearby sentry, then shook his head.

Vereesa angrily cursed, making the captain of the sentries frown. Three sentries rushed to try to restrain her, but she punched one down and after a struggle, finally managed to pin him down and securely tied him up with a rope.

"Why isn’t it working?" Greed asked with a confused expression on his face.

"This fool doesn’t even recognize that horn!" Vereesa shouted, "Summon your Druid here."

"The Druids’ current mission is much more important than authenticating this item, Quel’dorai," said the captain of the sentries in common language. When she mentioned Quel’dorai, there was a clear tone of indifference in her voice.

She put away the deer antler, spoke some Elf words to the surrounding sentries, and then the sentries began to tie up each person’s hands one by one, not even sparing the mother bear, who was covered with a head hood and a muzzle.

"I do not deny that it may be a token of the Guardian Remulos’s son, but even if it is true, I cannot make the decision to let you leave on my own. You will follow us back to the fortress. I will present this to the general and ask for her opinion. Do not resist anymore, or you will not make it out of this forest alive."
