"Where is that bottle of Wildfire?" Lu Li asked .
"They have built a camp nearby in order to harvest my hair . If you follow the route of the Orcs, you will find the camp," the ghost said .
Lu Li asked a few more questions, but didn’t gain any further useful information .
It appeared that he just had to try his luck . There were quite a few quests like this, where the exact location was unknown and you just had to work it out based on some clues .
Follow the route of the Orcs…
Lu Li looked around for any Undead Herbalists or Orc Supervisors, but was hard pressed to find anything that could help him .
Those characters were acting like regular mobs – they were not intelligent and were just following a fixed procedure . Each of them acted out the same thing over and over, and wouldn’t wander out of a small, fixed range .
With no other options, Lu Li could only farm the mobs here while watching to see if there were any special monsters around .
About half an hour later, he stumbled upon a bunch of Bathran’s Hair on the ground . He tried to collect it, but the System told him that had already had Bathran’s Hair .
His eyes then lit up in realization . Since Bathran’s Hair had appeared, a special orc would soon be here to harvest it .
His speculation was in fact correct . Soon, a dozen chain-mail-clad Orcs came to the Bathran Haunted House and collected the Bathran’s Hair, then hastily retreated in the same direction .
Lu Li cautiously followed them .
He then saw very clearly that these were all level 30 Elite Orcs . The leader was most likely an even higher level .
Lu Li wasn’t afraid of them; he could escape if he needed to . However, he was afraid that if he disturbed them, the temporary camp would disband and there would be no one left to lead him .
As such, he tried to keep himself hidden as best as he could .
He trailed the squad of Orcs for ten minutes before they arrived at the summit of a hill .
Then, they suddenly vanished .
Lu Li waited for a while, but there wasn’t any more movement, so he quietly followed their footsteps .
It turned out that the summit of the hill had been excavated by the Orcs to form a huge pit . They had built their temporary camp in this pit .
Lu Li turned his head and speechlessly discovered that the Maestra’s Post was close by . This group of Orcs had established a temporary camp right under the noses of the Sentinels .
If he went and reported to them…
Lu Li was drooling . He was going to report to them after he got the bottle of fire . Even if the reward was monetary, it would still be a handsome sum .
After he entered, he realized that this place was much more spacious than he had imagined . These Orcs had hollowed out the entire hill . There was some moss growing on the walls and some glowing stones embedded in them, so it wasn’t dark at all .
There were barracks, a kitchen, a warehouse and even an alchemy room…
Swarms of Orcs were patrolling about . It was a main base of operations; this place was no joke .
Lu Li watched the movements of his surroundings and slowly entered the alchemy room .
Wildfire – its name suggested that it was obviously a product of alchemy . Entering the Alchemy room was the right choice, but he didn’t know what else he would find in there .
As a Thief, stealing things seemed to be a perfectly justifiable matter .
Of course, Lu Li didn’t expect this shabby camp to contain any kind of heaven-defying treasures . He didn’t ask for tens of thousands; just a few thousand gold coins would satisfy him .
As he opened the door to the alchemy room, he saw three busy alchemists inside . They were wearing ragged robes and their bony hands were continuously putting things into a big pot .
The liquid in the pot was highly viscous and there were all kinds of smells being produced as the liquid churned .
Lu Li almost retched at the stench .
No wonder there weren’t many other Orcs in the area – they probably had to lose their sense of smell before they could properly work in this environment .
Lu Li went into Stealth before stepping in lightly .
Although these Undead couldn’t smell anything, there was nothing wrong with their Perception . When facing these level 30 Elites, it was best that he gave them the respect they deserved .
The cabin was hot and humid, and the smell was drilling into his nostrils .
Lu Li bit the bullet and quickly started to look around the potions in search of the Wildfire .
The materials on the test bench were quite strange . Most of them were animal organs and poisonous plants . Lu Li didn’t want any of these things .
After a while, he finally found the Wildfire on the bench .
Taking advantage of the Alchemists’ turned heads, Lu Li grabbed the Wildfire . He then quickly used Shadowmeld to enter back into Stealth so he could leave the damned place .
After this, he paid a visit to the Orc’s warehouse; there could be some valuable items inside .
However, his plans were quickly disrupted when the Wildfire that he was holding unexpectedly started to burn him . He almost called out loud in surprise and damage values began to appear over his head .
It was only three to five points, but this prevented Lu Li from using Stealth to escape .
He couldn’t enter Stealth if he kept losing HP like this .
Lu Li almost started cursing out loud before he threw the Wildfire into this bag . However, the Alchemists had already noticed his presence .
Lu Li could probably deal with a single level 30 Elite, but there was more than one of them before him . He also didn’t know how they communicated, but heavy footsteps were soon heard outside the door .
If he didn’t leave now, he might not have any chances left .
Lu Li thought for a while and instead of attacking the undead Alchemists, he turned into a Leopard and rushed out .
Two Orcs burst into the room, but by the time they noticed him he had already ran away .
Whooosh…
There were javelins, dark arrows and Shadow Bolts being thrown at him, but he didn’t dare to look back . He zipped left and right to avoid the projectiles, quickly running with his four legs .
However a humanoid figure was rapidly approaching him from behind!
Lu Li wished that he had eight legs because his four legs weren’t fast enough .
He hadn’t really considered how bloodthirsty these Orcs were, but knew that this group of level 30 Elites could easily tear him apart, so he didn’t bother about the details .
This is just a quest; it should be easy!
The fire was in his backpack, but he was still taking damage so he couldn’t go into Stealth .
The only way to escape was the get out of this pit . They wouldn’t be so ferocious then, as the Night Elf Sentinels would never tolerate such a camp existing so close to an outpost .
Maestra’s Post was just around the back .
There was a rumbling and a loud voice . Lu Li couldn’t help but look back and almost peed himself .
It was a wolf!
A Wolf Rider!
The leopard gave him considerable speed, but it was nothing compared to that given by the wolf mount .
One, two, three… throw!
Lu Li threw a dark object behind him and continued to run .
A violent roar sounded throughout the camp, accompanied by a flash .
The Orcs and wolves were crying out; the scene had descended into chaos .
In reality, only a few of them had been hurt, but the sound was quite scary nonetheless .
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Li quickly ran and jumped out of the pit .
