The Great Thief

Chapter 571 - 575

As such, he released these mighty creatures in captivity, all of whom groveled under his feet.

That was the Burning Legion, Azeroth's most deadly enemy. Characters like Tyrande and Medivh racked their brains and were barely able to defend themselves from what was considered the root of all evil.

The Doomguard and h.e.l.lhounds were the Burning Legion's strongest units and they were loyal to an even more powerful Demon.

Lu Li was currently only level 38; he was in no way close to being able to fight the Burning Legion.

Chapter 572: Doomguard

After calming down, Lu Li found some inconsistencies with his conclusion. He watched for a while, but only found Doomguards and h.e.l.lhounds. There weren't any higher-end Burning Legion units.

In the center was what seemed like an altar.

Lu Li slowly approached it, but he didn't dare to get much closer. Not only were the h.e.l.lhounds capable of absorbing mana, but they were also quite strong. If they found him, the sheer number of Doomguards would be enough to gang up on him, even though this was just a Burning Legion scouting party.

There was the dead tree, an altar and Doomguards in this abandoned little world. Lu Li kept speculating.

Sargeras or his men were probably here killing the Abyss demons that were resisting. They had destroyed the world tree and forced the indigenous species of this world to follow him as he went on destroying other worlds.

These Doomguards and h.e.l.lhounds might have been the ones that were too weak to escape.

However, that couldn't be right – these had to be the descendants of those survivors. No one had studied the lifespan of these things, so he couldn't be sure.

Right now, it seemed as though they were trying to summon a formidable ancestor.

He didn't know that there wasn't a Boss here, but it was reasonable to a.s.sume that monsters that could build an altar weren't weak. Furthermore, it would be impossible for the population to reach this size without a leader.

Lu Li observed as he walked around the tree and finally found a bigger Doomguard.

It was said that Doomguards were able to evolve when they became strong enough. It was even possible for them to become Demon Lords. Obviously, this Doomguard had not yet evolved, and Lu Li speculated that it might not even be a fully-fledged Boss.

Lu Li wandered around, then picked a Doomguard that was furthest from the others.

He wanted to test out the strength of the Boss, but there were too many monsters around it. Moreover, h.e.l.lhounds were particularly sensitive creatures. He was also worried about the unknown level of the Boss.

If the Boss was too strong, he might just instantly lose 10% EXP.

In fact, most experienced players could guess a Boss' level based on the monsters' levels.

Some players thought that the Bosses of the same species would have the same skills. The only differences would lie in the Boss' occupation and unique skills given by the System.

Lu Li had already seen quite a few Doomguards before.

He also chose a Doomguard that had a h.e.l.lhound following it. In the Burning Legion, the Doomguard was the combat unit and some of them had h.e.l.lhounds as hunting dogs.

Lu Li planned to stun the Doomguard and kill the h.e.l.lhound first.

Unfortunately, he was discovered by the h.e.l.lhound before he even got close. The monsters here had to be much higher-levelled. Lu Li took out his crossbow and shot an arrow at the Doomguard's body.
