Chapter 1834: Naga Invasion
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Lu Li helped Fred assemble together enough samples, and then they both happily went through the marsh back home . Fred was able to avoid the traps better than Lu Li— being able to avoid all the traps but not the well was a talent .
Seeing Lu Li bring Fred back home, the whole Cenarion refuge erupted with excitement . Their only missing brother had come back, and there was no doubt that Lu Li had become a hero in everyone’s eyes .
Lu Li got another massive heap of XP again .
After a bit of rest and reorganization, it was the afternoon, and Druids who were still celebrating got a report from the sentries— there were Naga all over the place!
“What do they want?” Lethyn Moonfire asked angrily .
Hamoot was a strong, war loving Tauren who had a broken horn . He was the refuge Warden responsible for defending the refuge, while other Druids were busy researching plants and surveying the lake . He jumped right in saying, “I have been telling you, those Naga aren’t going to be peaceful with us . They’re a bunch of people who’ve lost their brains . ”
“The Naga are greedy and never reasonable . They’re not coming here to be guests, there’s a real chance they’re coming to attack the refuge . If we don’t want to become homeless, the best thing to do is take up your weapons and kill off the invading enemies . Druids can do more than just magic tricks . ”
Lethyn Moonfire gave Lu Li a glare . Evidently, he wasn’t happy with how Lu Li defined Druids . But he still nodded his head, “Hamoot, the safety of the refuge is in your hands . ”
There weren’t many Druids capable of fighting . Including Fred, there were only 18 of them, and they were led by Hamoot . Soon, they finished their preparations for battle . Everyone could already see the vague silhouettes of the Naga in the distance . The perimeter of the refuge was very secure . Those Druids who were good at plant-type natural magic were really good at it . The only part which needed to be guarded was the refuge’s main door .
“Elf, are you willing to help us . Help us one more time . ” Fred issued a quest to Lu Li .
Of course, Lu Li wouldn’t refuse . He had already gotten XP quite a few times today . Fred gave it to him twice, and he got two more after he returned to the camp . Now, he was about to receive it for the fifth time . Turned out the Cenarion refuge was a really easy neutral camp to earn XP in .
After receiving the quest, Lu Li became the 19th fighting member of the refuge . Generally speaking, the Naga had scaled human bodies and the lower half of their body looked like a python . They could breathe underwater or on dry land .
The first to appear were male Naga . Female Naga were tall and thin, with thin, pointy scales, horns on their head and usually at least four limbs . Because of some unknown reason, female Naga were better than males at preserving their memories and character before the big disaster . Because of this, they were more intelligent and had stronger magic than the males .
That’s why the Naga were a matrilineal race .
Male Naga were physically bigger and stronger than female Naga, and they had more beastly features . They had facial features similar to dragons, and their muscles were strong and tough . The scales on their body were bigger, thicker and heavier than the females .

Like Night Elves, Blood Elves and High Elves, Naga had a long lifespan . Some of them, mostly the female Naga, could even live forever . The male Naga served as cannon fodder, while a few female Naga gave orders to the cannon fodder from a distance .
Most Naga had already lost the ability to use language . When they attacked, they made strange sounds that sounded unnerving and shrill; it was even said that this sound could be heard across the oceans .
Lu Li sneaked out of the refuge . He was a Thief so standing guard at the door wasn’t his strong suit . He noticed that there was a progress bar above his own quest, number killed 0/100 . This also meant that he couldn’t just slack off during battle, he needed to kill a certain number of Naga .
In an out of the way place, Lu Li successfully Cheap Shot Naga and realised that their HP and defence was pretty scary .
The monsters in the Outland shouldn’t be messed with unless you reached a certain level, or you had a whole set of Exquisite equipment on you . Lu Li’s equipment was not bad, but worlds away from Exquisite level equipment . So in this difficult situation, he didn’t have much choice but to escape back to the Cenarion refuge .
“Comrade, you’ve got to learn to keep our formation,” Warden Hamoot lectured sternly .
At this, Lu Li saw that Hamoot and the Druids had pulled out crossbows one after the other from the undergrowth next to the fence . If Lu Li had guessed right, these were Draenor’s moderately famous ballistae .
“Two in a group . Listen to my orders,” Warden Hamoot announced .

“Let’s be in a group,” Lu Li took Fred’s arm . When the other NPCs saw this, they didn’t really say anything . It was because Lu Li had once saved Fred’s life that he reluctantly saved him some face .
Fred taught Lu Li how to use the ballista, and Lu Li learnt very quickly .
“Brother, you’re still very weak . You can just be an assistant, let me control the ballista,” Lu Li pretended to really care about him . Actually, it was because he wouldn’t get any XP if he was the assistant . The killing needed for the quest wouldn’t be counted for him .
“Thank you . You really are a good person,”
Whoosh! Lu Li’s first ever shot!
“Nice!” Everyone praised him .
He shot the target with his first shot and killed the target right away . This really changed their impression of Lu Li .
Lu Li opened his mouth, but in the end, he just laughed shyly and modestly . Actually, the arrow was clearly aimed right at a big Naga, but for some reason, the shot landed on one next to it . Good thing it hit, how it got there didn’t matter .

The next few times, Lu Li chose to aim at an area where the Naga were together relatively densely . Though he was randomly shooting, he still killed almost ten of them .
“Mage! A Mage is coming!” The Druids suddenly got worked up .
Lu Li saw that there were a few ones which were relatively petite, they fit the human aesthetics of a pretty girl . These Naga came over while carrying a long staff in their hands . Ice crystals froze on the ground that they walked on; you could see how strong their magic was .
The old Mages had come, and they needed to be killed!
Lu Li adjusted the ballista, aimed right at a mage and shot . Mages were weaker than warriors, it should be a bit easier to kill them .
