Chapter 0273 - Danger Everywhere
Ever since the floating warship penetrated thousands of miles deep into the Black Forest, the attacks it suffered have never stopped.
But fortunately, the flight route chosen by the Silver Alliance was explored by countless bloody voyages over thousands of years, and it has tried its best to avoid the living areas and hunting areas of those high-level monsters. Therefore, although there are many attacks, most of them are first-order group monsters, and the number of second-order creatures appearing is only a handful.
With the sturdy protective shield propped up by the floating battleship, many wizards on board joined forces to defeat the enemy, and also successfully repelled several attacks by the monsters.
The floating battleship flew high at an altitude of thousands of meters, and ordinary monsters would not be able to intercept them at all if they did not have the ability to fly.
While passing through a huge black canyon, Grim once saw a terrifying hill giant with a strength of rank 2 crawl out of the ground.
The tall, majestic body was 30 meters tall and resembled a moving humanoid hill.
The Hill Giants are also a branch of the Earth Elemental Giants, with rough skin and thick flesh and infinite strength, and their entire body is made of huge gray-white rock blocks. Like dragons, they naturally like to sleep. Every time you have eaten and drunk enough, you will find an area with a strong earth element and burrow into the ground to sleep.
The reason why the Floating Battleship chose to pass through the territory of the Hill Giant was because it could not fly, and it would hide and sleep underground for most of the year, so it would not be easily provoked.
But this time their luck was clearly bad, just in time for the recovery period of the hill giants.
Sensing the rich smell of human flesh and blood in the sky, the hill giant slowly climbed up from the depths of the black canyon, raised the huge head of the humanoid, opened the mouth of the black hole, and let out an angry roar at the floating battleship.
All the monsters in the Black Forest have a strong sense of territory, and once they find out that an outsider has invaded their lair, they will definitely start fighting without saying a word.
Therefore, the hill giants slammed into a flat road in the forest, and pursued closely below the floating battleship. Whenever he got closer, the hill giant roared a few times in the sky, and the huge palpitating pu fan stone hand held it above his head, and the yellow-brown earth element condensed into a huge rock almost in the blink of an eye.
Then, with a shout of effort, the huge rock in the hands of the hill giant tumbled and rushed into the sky with a howling wind.
The wizards on the ship were leaning down to look down, and suddenly saw a boulder the size of a house flying into the air, and everyone was terrified. Even Grim's heart tightened suddenly, his eyes fixed on the boulder that kept tumbling and flying, and quickly analyzed the data.
"Drop, the main components of the boulder: earth elements and impurities, the density of the boulder: about 1,73 / cubic stone, the size of the boulder: about 3 cubic meters, the weight of the boulder: about 5,24 tons. Estimated maximum flight altitude: 729 m......"
"What about the height of the floating battleship now?"
"Drop, the current height of the floating battleship is 1142 meters......"
After getting the detailed data of the chip, Grim completely let go of his worries and turned to observe the body data of the hill giant with all his attention.
Although most of these high-level monsters are too powerful due to the energy in their bodies, they will form a defensive force field similar to a protective shield on the surface of their bodies, and it is impossible for the chip to spy on its information from such a distance. However, as it continues to make moves, it is still possible to roughly estimate its basic strength by collecting data on the anomalies caused by its every move.
Hill giant, 2nd order, soil higher creature, 31-33 meters high, 8-10 meters wide, weighing > 97 tons. Physical stats: Strength > 27, Agility 25, Mental > 14. Even if it doesn't apply to earth-based abilities, just relying on this terrifying self-weight and staggeringly strong physique, this second-order hill giant can easily crush a human wizard of the same level right now.
Don't look at the fact that there are also second-order wizards on the floating battleship, but if you really have a one-on-one confrontation with this second-order hill giant, you will definitely be crushed by it, and there will be no scum left.
The individual rank of each creature can indeed basically mark its strength, but it is not absolute!
Some warring races are born with great strength bonuses, and an individual's biological level does not fully represent its strength. For example, the oversized size of the hill giant in front of him has brought it a huge strength and physique bonus, and under the same body data, the combat power it can exert is much higher than that of a human body refining wizard of the same level.
Looking at the data of the Hill Giant's body projected by the chip in his mind, the shock in Grim's heart was simply incomprehensible.
This is just a second-order monster with medium to lower strength in the Black Forest!
If the floating battleship did not fly high in the sky, if the more than sixty wizards on the ship were on the flat ground, and this hill giant only needed to rely on his huge body like a small mountain to break into the crowd unreasonably, I am afraid that the casualties of the wizards would be very heavy.
Although Grim had also earned the title of a fire demon, he was not sure that his lava fireball would be able to blast through the opponent's outer body and thick and terrifying rock body in the face of a moving mountain of stones.
Fighting such a monster, the biggest possibility is that before Grim blew a rock off it, the other party had already slapped him into meat sauce!
The boulder roared up in the sky, and when the strength was exhausted, it tumbled and fell.
Each time it elicited a soft exclamation from the wizards.
The talisman array at the tail of the floating battleship suddenly fluoresced, and under the blowing of the rapid wind particles, it crashed into white clouds one after another, and quickly moved away from the territory of the hill giant.
At first, the Hill Giant was able to catch up with them by striding forward, but when the ship's speed began to increase, it was gradually thrown behind.
Finally, when the floating battleship disappeared into the distant sky, all they could see was a terrifying stone giant climbing to the top of a steep cliff, shouting and roaring angrily at them.
After leaving the territory of the Hill Giants, the Floating Battleship also flew over the territory of a strange mirage.
As the floating battleship swept rapidly over the Black Forest, a wizard suddenly pointed down and exclaimed, "Look...... What's that?"
Everyone leaned over to take a look.
In the dark forest, everything was so peaceful and serene, there seemed to be no movement.
But through the knotted branches and dense foliage, a deep dark shadow could be faintly detected flowing through the forest, always following them.
"It's a mirage!" a Silver Alliance wizard in a silver wizard's robe explained with a smile, "It's a strange monster similar to a polluting monster, capable of creating a mirage-like fantasy world, silently devouring creatures into one's body." Its basic rank is also Tier 2, but it is far more terrifying than the Hill Giants. In the Black Forest, as long as you are careful, it is not a problem to avoid the hill giants. But if you encounter a mirage, I'm afraid you won't even have a chance to escape!"
"I've heard of this mirage too!" added a tall, lanky wizard who accompanied the ship, "and they like to place their bodies on the surface and create a clear pool of water, or a beautiful garden, or a villa full of treasures." This illusion is actually their stomach pouch, they lure their prey into it, and then unconsciously their bodies are dissolved by the illusion. ”
"Good thing they don't have a ranged attack!" said a wizard at last.
The wizards nodded.
The Silver Alliance wizard was obviously not satisfied with everyone's attitude, and shook his head and said, "Don't relax so early, everyone. After passing through the mirage's territory, the rest of the journey is the most testing moment. ”
"What's behind?" asked one wizard.
"Winged Lion!" the Silver Alliance wizard frowned, "The next monster territory that needs to be passed through belongs to the Winged Lion, so it's better for everyone to be careful!"
Although there are many wizards on the ship, some have heard of the monster of the winged lion, and some have no knowledge of it. And so, private whispers began to ring.
Some of the wizards they knew each other began to exchange information with each other.
Grim was slightly stunned.
Winged Lion?
He seems to have heard of this kind of monster as well.
Ordinary humans have always had a hard time distinguishing between the winged lion and the griffin. Their names are similar, with lions in their names, but they are two different monsters.
The griffin is a species of eagle-headed and lion-winged beast, which speaks volumes about their physical characteristics, such as the head and pointed beak of an eagle, the body and sharp talons of a lion, and a pair of wide, fluffy fleshy wings.
Under normal circumstances, the adult griffin is just a Tier 1 social monster, and in addition to its considerable physical* strength, its strongest feature is its ability to fly at extreme speed and attack at high speeds. Its piercing screams also carry a strange ability to confuse the mind.
Other than that, there's nothing worth noting!
The Winged Lion, on the other hand, is a social monster that reaches the level of 2 individuals in adulthood. They usually live together in a family, usually a 2nd order adult male and female winged lion with 3-5 1st order small winged lions.
In contrast to a griffin, a winged lion is a lion with huge wings.
In addition to their strong physical strength, they also have the ability to perform light sorcery. It can be said that it happens to be the natural enemy of some dark wizards!
After listening to the briefing of the wizards of the Silver Alliance, several dark wizards in black wizard robes on the spaceship couldn't help but frown, obviously they had also heard of this nasty light monster. If you really encounter this kind of monster after a while, the curse, corrosive, and strong acid attacks they have mastered will be ineffective against the other party, and I am afraid that they will have to watch from the sidelines and become a spectator.
The floating battleship constantly turned and changed direction along a high ridge over the Black Forest, trying to avoid the danger of Jedi at every turn.
However, near a tall mountain cliff, as a low and long lion roar sounded, three or five black shadows suddenly rose into the sky and rushed towards them at high speed.
