Chapter 862: Shadow Giant Bird
This time, when Sean approached the Emerald City shield, before the Staff of Life took effect, the Emerald City shield had automatically cracked a door-shaped opening, just enough to accommodate the free entry and exit of Sean's Law Body.
Sean gestured in the direction of the Mage's Tower, and walked out, the High Priest of DeWitt, bidding farewell to him in this way.
After Sean came out of the Emerald City, he did not hesitate to turn around and fly towards the east, compared to the headless flies before entering the Emerald City, this time he already had a clear goal.
Sean almost left behind the large map of Abigail before the Cataclysm that the Lord of Loxani had said, mainly because its usefulness was greatly reduced.
Sean has found a new way to identify Abigail in the past few days.
That is to follow the trunk of the Abigail World Tree.
The existence of Abigail's World Tree itself has completely broken the laws of the plane, and there are many places that cannot be described by common sense.
But in order to hold up and protect those cities, nutrient supply is a must.
The larger the city it needs to supply, the smaller the branch main pole will definitely be.
The reverse makes sense.
On each of the stout poles, there must be one, or even multiple tree cities, and it is not wrong to follow it.
The reason why Sean chose this root to the east is because the old map shown to him by the city lord of Loxani shows that Lunn, the capital of the largest kingdom of Abigail Elves, was in this direction, it was a super city at its peak, with a population of more than three million, even if in the process of the cataclysm, some casualties were lost, and the chances of being able to retain millions were very high.
The significance of winning such a city is not as simple as five times that of the Emerald City.
If you can get a good relationship with the old ruler here and get his approval, his old influence will more or less become a help for yourself, and it will be easier for you to carry out your work.
Chirp!
With a huge birdsong, a huge figure, from the dense branches of the World Tree, swooped out and swooped down on Sean who passed below.
What a big bird.
Sean couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
This shadow giant bird, which regarded itself as its prey, was a few points larger than Sean's law body alone, and after its wingspan, it was even more amazing, expanding by three times.
It stands to reason that Sean shouldn't be so surprised, after all, it's not uncommon to have a twisted nightmare of huge size, and no less than once before, he has met the immeasurable size of the Shadow Master.
But except for the Abigail World Tree, the others are energy bodies that do not have a fixed form, and the meaning of volume is not so big for them.
Sean's law body, if he doesn't take care of his own stability, on this basis, let alone two or three times, four or five times is fine.
In that case, there will definitely be no way to materialize yourself, and you will inevitably lose most of your physical properties and turn into a pure energy body.
The shadow giant bird in front of him, although it was also wrapped with a lot of shadow energy like smoke on its body, and its feathers were half-energized, but it was a flesh-and-blood entity.
It's not a twisted nightmare, it's a shadow creature in the truest sense of the word.
It is a deformed product of the collapse of the Honkai Plane, which not only has the physical characteristics of some planes, but also has the special ability and partial shadow energy.
Its final destination is a twisted nightmare.
It had to be a complete collapse of the laws of the plane, or after they died.
Now, it's still the biometrics that prevail.
The most typical feature is predation.
Now Sean is the prey in its eyes.
The shadow bird's attack is not without ferocity, and the timing is not without skill.
But unfortunately, this time it is not targeting ordinary prey.
Eight energy reactors spewed out a stream of energy at the same time, and the body of the law instantly accelerated, directly rushing out of the opponent's snatching range, making the opponent pounce.
Bang!
The shadow energy dragged by the wings of the shadow giant bird suddenly skyrocketed by a few points, and swept Sean firmly.
The huge power suddenly made Sean lose control and fly out in a whirl.
Sean's dodge just now only took into account the physical characteristics of the Shadow Giant Bird, but he ignored its shadow energy characteristics a little, and immediately suffered a big loss.
And the Shadow Giant Bird's air combat experience is obviously above Sean.
Although Sean has been playing in his own plane for many years, due to the lack of a strong air opponent, most of them carry out reconnaissance and transportation missions, and rarely engage in this kind of direct air engagement.
Although Sean has little experience in air combat, he has been trained in the energy vortex, and his ability to maintain his balance under complex impact forces is one by one.
With the segmented gushing of energy reactors, Sean quickly regained his balance.
And at this time, the Shadow Giant Bird also turned back and launched a new round of attack.
The wings vibrate, the hurricane rises, and the energy turbulence.
Obviously, this shadow giant bird also has the ability to control hurricanes, which is used to affect the flight ability of the target, which is convenient for hunting.
It's just that this trick, in Sean's place, is obviously not very useful.
Not only because Sean is experienced in this area, but also because his own weight is heavy enough.
For the same hurricane, the effect is naturally different for the same volume of weighing and cotton.
Manipulating the hurricane is only a support, and the flutter and pecking of the shadow giant bird closely followed are the real killer moves.
"Give you face, you still have a long face!"
Being so embarrassed by a flat-haired beast made Sean a little annoyed.
In the face of this pounce of the shadow giant bird, Sean did not dodge or dodge, picked up the staff of life, and smashed it with his head and face.
Bang!
Zheng!
It's standard injury-for-injury.
The two giant claws of the Shadow Giant Bird clawed fiercely at Sean's Law Body at the same time, emitting a huge metallic roar.
It's not just Sean's law body that is metalized, but also the pair of sharp claws of the Shadow Giant Bird, which is also comparable to metal casting.
Sean also slammed his staff into the Shadow Bird's chest.
What a terrifying blow that was blessed by four energy reactors.
Where the staff of life hit, there was a huge depression on the spot, and the body of the shadow giant bird seemed to be shaken to a standstill.
The next action was naturally seriously out of shape, and the beak of a bird like a giant awl pecked directly into the air.
The shadow giant bird screamed in pain, and involuntarily let go of its claws that had not yet been grasped.
The energy reactor gushes again, and Sean is like a cunning fish that eats the bait on the hook but doesn't bite the hook.
Chirp!
The Shadow Giant Bird, which suffered a big loss, also fell into a rage.
With the wings shaking violently, the shadow feathers on his body, like a crossbow arrow with a handle, detached and shot towards Sean.
This scene gave Sean a sense of déjà vu.
When it first tamed the Andes Giant Eagle Black Collar, it used a similar trick.
Although the world has changed, the tricks of these guys have not changed much.
The energy reactor gushed, and the speed of the Law Body instantly soared to the extreme, escaping in the direction of the other party.
The shadow feathers were trembling, and most of them shot out behind Sean, pinning to the World Tree.
"Hey...... I'll see how much hairy you can ......"
Although the Shadow Giant Bird shows super resilience, the feathers on its front feet shoot out, and a large amount of shadow energy gathers on its hind feet to generate new feathers.
However, the newborn feather has become a pure energy body, and there will be no way to materialize it for a while, and it can only be used to assist flight, and there is no way to use it as an attack weapon like just now.
As soon as the shadow feathers stopped, Sean turned back violently, sneering in his heart, "Do you think that being shirtless can make your small universe explode? ”
This time, Sean no longer played hand-to-hand combat in the air with the Shadow Giant Bird, and the Body of the Law had turned into a Law Fighter state, and his speed and agility were exerted to the extreme, like a giant brick, rampage through the air.
The shadow giant bird didn't know how powerful it was, and wanted to hit it hard, and it was slapped with a brick by Sean.
Directly slapped the shadow giant bird with a chirp, almost holding its breath, and the whole flight became crooked.
Because Sean chose to collide with the root of the opponent's left flank.
This impact, although it did not completely abolish this wing, also made it dare not use it easily.
Just when Sean was about to take advantage of the victory to chase after him, he took down the shadow giant bird in one fell swoop.
There were several birdsong in the air, and several huge figures emerged from the canopy, and they rushed towards Sean with great momentum.
One!
Two!
Three!
When Sean noticed that there were as many as four shadow birds coming, he turned around and ran.
One is so difficult.
Five to one.
That's asking for yourself.
It's not that Sean doesn't have a chance of winning at all, but the effort is not proportional to the gain.
If you want to fight one-on-five, Sean must maintain the state of a law fighter for a long time, which is constantly burning the power of the law.
Sean has just been in Emerald City, and he has gone out with nearly 20,000 law powers, and he hasn't found a place to make up for it.
In order to be angry with a few flat-haired beasts, it is really not worth consuming a lot of the power of the law.
This kind of non-pure distorted nightmare, the power of the law of oppression, is only quite limited.
A strategic retreat is the wisest choice.
Sean's reluctance to entangle with them does not mean that they are willing to let Sean go.
Follow Sean's ass and bite it.
The grudge component is very small, after all, there are four in the back, and Sean did not directly fight with them, where does the deep hatred come from.
Most likely, it was the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from Sean's Law Body, attracting them and treating him as a highly nutritious tonic.
Sean's next situation was somewhat awkward.
In the low-consumption flight state, in front of these shadow giant birds, it does not have an advantage, and it is difficult to completely get rid of them.
Just when Sean was about to use the law fighter state and fight to get rid of them with a little consumption, an unexpected incident made him change his mind.
In the process of chasing and fleeing, they passed by a tree city, a small tree city that was not even one-fifth the size of the Emerald City.
There is another thing that is different from the Emerald City.
This is no longer a sanctuary for the Abigailes, but a lair of twisted nightmares, and the city shield here has long been breached.
Countless flying twisted nightmares come and go here, the largest of which is the locust twisted nightmare that Sean had dealt with in the Emerald City.
After discovering this nest, these five shadow giant birds immediately gave up the hunt for Sean, but landed directly in this abandoned city and launched a crazy predation.
The brine points to the tofu, one thing drops one thing.
The Shadow Bird is the deadly nemesis of this locust-twisted nightmare.
The trick that didn't work well on Sean before worked very well on the Locust Twisted Nightmare.
The hurricane that vibrated their wings and rolled up made the body of the flying locust twisted and nightmare blown out of shape, and they couldn't get close to the body of the shadow giant bird, so naturally they didn't take advantage of their numerical advantage to launch a siege.
The Shadow Giant Bird's method of killing the Twisted Nightmare is even more straightforward, one beak at a time, swallowing them directly into its stomach and giving them to its own stomach to solve.
I believe that they dare to do this, it represents their digestive system, which has a special effect against this kind of twisted nightmare, and there will definitely be no situation where Sun Wukong makes trouble in the belly of Princess Iron Fan.
At this time, it was originally a perfect opportunity for Sean to take the opportunity to slip away and get rid of these shadow giant birds.
Instead of doing so, Sean quietly turned back, following the shadow birds, observing their every move.
Not only did Sean take a keen interest in them, but he also wanted to take them for himself.
At the same time, he became interested in this abandoned tree city entrenched by twisted nightmares.
When he first saw the locust twisted nightmare, Sean had a question in his mind.
Twisted nightmares are not uncommon, and this kind of twisted nightmare that looks like a uniform appearance created on an assembly line is rare.
Even if they are transformed from insects and other organisms with relatively simple soul consciousness, they must have an infected original body to become them.
The appearance of the abandoned tree city has brought this doubt back to my mind.
It's understandable that the Twisted Nightmare is targeting a formidable enemy like the Emerald City, rallying into an army.
But it's a bit strange to gather like a group in an abandoned city with no targets.
Following the shadow bird's ass and digging deeper into the abandoned city, Sean realized that it wasn't an exaggeration to call this a locust twisted nightmare lair.
It's a hatchery for Twisted Locust Nightmares, with thousands of Twisted Nightmares being born every day.
That's right.
Twisted Nightmares do not have the ability to reproduce themselves, and can only be born from their flesh by twisting the souls of other creatures.
But they can be bred in captivity, those that are fertile creatures, and let them breed in large numbers, and then be taken over by the Seed of Shadows, giving birth to Twisted Nightmare Soldiers.
This is the case in this abandoned city.
These locust-twisted nightmare organisms are seventy or eighty percent similar to locusts, but their social structure and reproductive patterns are somewhat similar to those of ants.
