Age of Adepts

Chapter 279: Dangerous everywhere

Views:

Ever since the floating battleship penetrated deep into the Black Forest and reached thousands of miles away, the attacks it has suffered have never stopped.

Fortunately, the flight route chosen by the Silver Alliance was explored through countless bloody voyages over thousands of years, and it has tried its best to avoid the living and hunting areas of those high-level monsters. Therefore, although there were many attacks, most of them were 1st-level social monsters, and the number of 2nd-level creatures appeared was only a handful.

Relying on the solid protective shield propped up by the floating battleship, many wizards on board joined forces to defeat the enemy, and successfully repelled several attacks by the monsters.

Floating warships fly at a thousand meters high, and ordinary monsters cannot intercept them if they do not have the ability to fly.

When passing through a huge black canyon, Greem once saw with his own eyes a terrifying hill giant whose strength had reached level 2 crawling out of the ground.

The tall and majestic body is 30 meters high, just like a moving human-shaped hill.

The hill giant is also a branch of the earth elemental giant. It is born with rough skin and thick flesh, and has infinite strength. The entire body is made up of huge gray-white rock blocks. They are also like dragons, naturally like to sleep. Every time after eating and drinking enough, he would find an area rich in earth elements and burrow into the ground to sleep soundly.

The reason why the floating battleship chose to pass through the territory of the hill giant was that it could not fly, and would spend most of the year sleeping underground, so it would not be easily provoked.

But this time their luck was obviously bad, and they were just catching up with the awakening period of the hill giant.

Sensing the strong smell of human flesh and blood in the sky, the hill giant slowly climbed up from the depths of the black canyon, raised its huge humanoid head, opened its black mouth, and roared angrily at the floating battleship.

All the monsters in the Black Forest have a strong sense of territory. Once they find that an outsider has invaded their lair, they will definitely fight without saying a word.

Therefore, the hill giant took heavy footsteps that shook the ground, opened a flat road in the forest, and chased closely under the floating battleship. Every time it got close, the hill giant raised its head to the sky and roared a few times, and the huge and heart-pounding palm-leaf fan was lifted above its head, and the yellow-brown earth element condensed into a huge rock almost in the blink of an eye.

Then with a loud shout, the huge rock in the hands of the hill giant rolled and charged into the sky with a howling wind.

The wizards on the spaceship were looking down when they suddenly saw a huge boulder the size of a house flying in the air, and all of them turned pale with fright. Even Greem's heart tightened suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the boulder that was constantly rolling and flying, and he quickly analyzed the data.

"Drip, the main composition of the boulder: earth elements and impurities, the density of the boulder: about 1,73/cubic, the size of the boulder: about 3 cubic meters, the weight of the boulder: about 5,24 tons. The estimated maximum flight height: 729 meters..."

"What is the current height of the floating battleship?"

"Drip, the current height of the floating warship is 1142 meters..."

After getting the detailed data of the chip, Greem completely let go of his worries, and focused on observing the body data of this hilly giant.

Although most of these high-level monsters will form a defensive force field similar to a protective shield on the body surface due to the excessive energy in their bodies, it is impossible for the chip to spy on its information from such a distance. However, as it continues to attack, by collecting data on the abnormalities caused by its every move, it is still possible to roughly estimate its basic strength.

Hill giant, tier 2, higher soil creature, 31-33 meters high, 8-10 meters wide, and >97 tons in weight. Physical data: strength>27, agility>25, spirit>14. Even without the ability of the earth element, just relying on this terrifying self-weight and staggeringly strong physique, this second-level hill giant can easily crush human wizards of the same level.

Don't look at the level 2 wizards on the floating battleship, but if you really fight this level 2 hill giant one-on-one, you will definitely be crushed by it.

The individual level of each creature can basically identify its strength, but it is not absolute!

Some strong fighting races are born with great strength bonuses, and the biological level of an individual cannot fully represent its strength. The huge size of the hill giant in front of him has brought it huge strength and physique bonuses. With the same physical data, the combat power it can display is much higher than that of a human body-training wizard of the same level.

Seeing the hilly giant's body data projected by the chip in his mind, Greem's heart couldn't be more shocked.

This is just a level 2 monster with lower than average strength in the black forest!

If the floating battleship was not flying high in the sky, and if the more than 60 wizards on board were on flat ground, this hill giant would only need to use his body as large as a hill to unreasonably rush into the crowd. , I am afraid that the casualties of the wizards will be very heavy.

Although Greem had earned the title of a Fire Demon, but facing a moving stone mountain, he was not sure whether his lava fireball could blast the opponent's external defense membrane and thick and terrifying rock body.

When fighting such a monster, the most likely thing is that before Greem blows a rock from it, the other party has already slapped him into a meat paste!

The boulder roared up in the sky, and when its strength was exhausted, it tumbled and fell down again.

Every time it can cause the wizards to exclaim gently.

The talisman array at the tail of the floating battleship suddenly glowed brightly, and under the blowing of the swift wind particles, it knocked away the white clouds and quickly moved away from the territory of the hill giant.

In the beginning, the hill giant was able to catch up with them by striding forward, but when the speed of the spaceship began to increase, it was gradually thrown off.

In the end, when the floating battleship disappeared into the distant sky, what everyone could see was a terrifying stone giant climbing up a steep cliff, shouting and roaring at them angrily.

After leaving the territory of the hill giant, the floating battleship also flew over the territory of a strange mirage.

When the floating battleship passed quickly over the black forest, a wizard suddenly pointed at his body and exclaimed: "Look... what is that?"

Everyone leaned over to check.

In the dark forest, everything is so quiet and serene, it seems that there is no movement at all.

But through the giant gnarled branches and dense leaves, one can vaguely detect a deep black shadow flowing in the forest, always following them.

"That's a mirage!" A silver alliance wizard in a silver wizard robe explained to everyone with a smile: "It's a strange monster similar to a pollution monster, which can create a mirage-like bizarre illusion. It devours creatures into its own body. Its basic level is also level 2, but it is far more terrifying than the hill giant. In the black forest, as long as you are careful, it is not a problem to avoid the hill giant. But if you encounter a mirage Beast, I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to escape!"

"I've also heard of this kind of mirage!" A tall and thin wizard on board added, "They like to stick their bodies on the ground and create a clear pool of water or a beautiful garden on it. Or a villa full of treasures. This illusion is actually their stomach pouch, they lure their prey into it, and then their bodies are dissolved by the illusion without knowing it."

"Fortunately, they don't have long-range attacks!" Finally, a wizard spoke out everyone's aspirations.

All the wizards nodded.

The wizard of the Silver Alliance was obviously not satisfied with everyone's attitude, and shook his head and said, "Everyone, don't relax so early. After passing through the territory of this mirage beast, the next journey will be the most testing moment."

"What's in there?" asked a wizard.

"Winged lion!" The wizard of the Silver Alliance frowned: "The next monster territory that needs to pass through belongs to the winged lion, everyone should be careful!"

Although there are many wizards on board, some of them have heard of the winged lion, while others don't know anything about it. And so private whispers began to sound.

Some familiar wizards began to exchange information with each other.

Greem was slightly taken aback.

Winged lion

He seems to have heard of this kind of monster information.

Ordinary humans always have difficulty distinguishing between the two monsters, the winged lion and the griffin. Their names are relatively similar, with lions in their names, but they are two typical different monsters.

Griffons are a kind of Gryphon, which also fully explains their physical characteristics, the head and sharp beak of an eagle, the body and sharp claws of a lion, and a pair of wide and fluffy fleshy wings.

Under normal circumstances, an adult griffin is just a level 1 social monster. Apart from its considerable physical strength, its most powerful feature lies in its ability to fly at extreme speed and dive at high speed. Its piercing screech also has a strange ability to confuse the mind.

Apart from these, there is nothing worth noting!

The Winged Lion is a social monster with an individual level of up to 2nd level after adulthood. They usually live together in a family as a group, usually a 2nd-level adult male and female winged lion with 3-5 1st-level small winged lions.

Compared with the griffin, the winged lion is a kind of lion with huge wings.

In addition to their powerful physical strength, they also have the ability to perform light-based witchcraft. It can be said that it happens to be the natural enemy of some dark wizards!

After listening to the introduction of the wizards of the Silver Alliance, several dark wizards wearing black wizard robes on the spaceship couldn't help frowning deeply. Obviously, they had heard of this nasty light-type monster before. If you really encounter this kind of monster in a while, the curse, corrosion, and strong acid attacks they have mastered will be ineffective against the opponent. I am afraid that you can only watch from the sidelines and become a spectator.

The floating battleship kept turning and changing directions along a tall ridge above the black forest, trying its best to avoid dangerous places everywhere.

However, near a tall cliff, with a low and long roar of a lion, three or five black figures suddenly rose into the sky and rushed towards them at high speed.
