Chapters 270 to 275, Escape (10,000 Words)
In a few moments, the gold coins on the ground were piled up, like a small golden mound.
Cheng Kong collected the gold coins with his money bag, and then knew the number of gold coins, 13,000 gold coins.
Although compared to Pandora's Box, this thirteen thousand gold coins is not much, and some people with excellent luck have obtained 500,000 gold coins.
But with these gold coins, the total number of gold coins in Cheng Kong's money bag is not too far from 50,000, more than 47,000.
That's a good start.
Cheng Kong secretly encouraged himself, and then prepared to deal with the remaining two balls of light in one go.
The palm of his hand stretched out, touched, the ball of light dissipated and extinguished, and a dark blue scepter emerged from the air and was grabbed by Cheng Kong in his hand.
The scepter was no more than six inches long, and it looked a little small and delicate in the hand.
When he looked at the small line on the scepter, he couldn't help but feel surprise on his face.
The third-level treasure illusion scepter can be copied twice a day in battle, and the copied creature can participate in the battle and collapse on its own if it takes any damage. Limitations: Copy less than 20 first-level creatures, 10 or less second-level creatures, 5 or less third-level creatures, 2 or less 4-level creatures, and 1 fifth-level creature.
It turned out to be an illusion scepter that could unleash illusions!
Cheng Kong played with it excitedly for a while before putting the illusion scepter into the space bag.
This illusion is a spell with a level of up to four levels, in the Hero World Realm. The highest level of spells is only level five, which shows the high value of this illusion scepter.
Although Cheng Kong's strength has surpassed the third-level troops a lot, he is actually a third-level unevolved class. According to the text on the illusion scepter, five mirrors of oneself can be copied.
In this way, not only has his combat power increased greatly, but even his tactical flexibility has been greatly enhanced.
This is indeed a good baby.
Cheng Kong slapped the illusion scepter towards his left arm, and the illusion scepter disappeared immediately, and a finger-sized scepter pattern appeared on his left arm.
Immediately, a piece of information came to mind, and Cheng Kong closed his eyes for a moment before mastering the method of this illusion scepter.
With a blue light lit up. Cheng Kong appeared in front of him a Cheng Konglai who was exactly the same as himself, whether it was from the appearance or the equipment such as bows and arrows, even Cheng Kong himself couldn't tell the difference between them.
Cheng Kong's mind seemed to be divided into two halves at this time. Half is the feeling of the body, while the other half is the copy of the body.
Not only that, but the difference in the perspective of the two people also made Cheng Kong feel a little novel.
Cheng Kong began to test it, driving the mirror image to make various movements. Initially a bit stiff. But soon, the movements, expressions, etc. made by the mirror image were almost the same as Cheng Kong.
Even the little praying mantis lying on top of Cheng Kong's head couldn't help but stand up, its triangular head staring at the mirror body in a daze, and sent doubts to Cheng Kong from the spiritual link.
Obviously, even the little mantis can't tell the difference between Cheng Kong and the mirror body at this time.
However, when Cheng Kong began to drive the mirror body to start running and shooting. Accidentally hit his head on a tree, and the mirror image shattered like glass. ended Cheng Kong's test this time.
Then Cheng Kong summoned another mirror image, and this time, Cheng Kong was much more careful.
This mirror is too fragile to be injured if you are not careful, and then collapse on its own.
Fortunately, this time, due to Cheng Kong's carefulness, the mirror body was maintained for dozens of minutes longer, and after Cheng Kong accidentally let the mirror body step on a sharp stone and collapse, Cheng Kong had some experience in the manipulation of this mirror body.
First of all, this mirror image is extremely fragile, and secondly, the treasures and weapons carried by the mirror image body have no actual effectiveness except for the great bow obtained during evolution.
There is also the fact that the mirror body cannot use the various abilities that Cheng Kong has, such as muscular techniques and so on.
In other words, the mirror body only copied the quality of Cheng Kong's physical body, and the rest were not copied.
Of course, this is normal, if the illusion scepter can copy the ability and treasures, the illusion scepter will not be a third-level treasure, but should be an artifact!
With the stimulation of this illusion scepter, Cheng Kong touched the third ball of light without hesitation.
As usual, the ball of light collapsed and disappeared, and a ring was grabbed by Cheng Kong in his hand and played with it.
It is a plain-looking ring, like an iron hoop set with a small red pebble.
Well, Cheng Kong found that most of the rings in this heroic world are of this kind of shape.
On the inside of the ring is a line of text smaller than a grain of rice.
The second-level treasure health ring enhances the wearer's vitality by 50%!
Well? Cheng Kong's eyes couldn't help but glow.
Enhance the wearer's vitality by 50 percent? It's a good thing, although it is not as good as the previous illusion scepter, but increasing the vitality of fifty percent means that one's survivability has increased by half.
Cheng Kong immediately put the ring on the ring finger of his right hand, and with the wearing of the health ring, Cheng Kong felt a heat in his body churning, and at this moment, his physique rose sharply, and he had the illusion that he would never get tired.
After harvesting two treasures, Cheng Kong was in a very happy mood, thinking that among the people who opened Pandora's box, he was also lucky.
You know, more than half of the people died under the curse.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and Cheng Kong took the little praying mantis around the cliff of the rift valley and found a cave to live in.
As night fell, some movement began to emanate from the rift, and some plants that only appeared at night burrowed out of the ground, stretched out their branches and leaves, and greedily absorbed the sunlight.
Most of these plants are in the form of vines, they stretch and grow around at will, and any tree will be entwined by them. Forming a network of vines, some forming patches of grass, don't look at these plants are not unique to the Hero World Realm. But they are not good people.
Brin had already introduced this, so Cheng Kong would go to the cantilevers to find a cave to live in, instead of camping in the bushes.
Cheng Kong squatted at the mouth of the cave, because most of those nocturnal plants were able to secrete a bloody aura, attracting some nocturnal beasts into the rift.
The vines, which had previously seemed completely harmless, quickly wound around the beast when it accidentally touched them.
The vines then secrete a very corrosive slime. Quickly corrodes and decomposes the beasts bound by the vines into a solution, thus absorbing the nutrients within.
Seeing this, Cheng Kong couldn't help but be a little surprised. The strength of these vines is not weak, a beast as strong as a rhinoceros was turned into a puddle of solution in less than a minute after rushing into the vine net.
If not below, it's dangerous right now. Cheng Kong really had the urge to take a little vine to study.
If only you could bring some of this vine back. If you plant it near the farm, it will add a natural barrier to the farm at night.
Even if it is copied and brought back to Earth, it can be used to destroy corpses much faster than the golden beetle.
Forget it, it's too dangerous, Cheng Kong shook his head, but his eyes never left the grass below.
At this moment an owl whizzed through the rift, as its swift figure swept over a meadow. Suddenly, the meadow moved. It was as if a carpet was quickly rolled up, and the owl that swept by dozens of meters was directly wrapped in it.
By the time the grass had fallen to the ground and stretched out again, the owl had not even had a single feather left.
What a speed! What a fast digestion speed! Cheng Kong's eyes couldn't help but shrink slightly as he looked at the grass.
To be honest, this meadow is not a big threat to me, as long as I don't make a fool of myself to enter the sky above the meadow, the meadow can't cause any harm to me.
After all, the meadow has no ability to move, and it is not as good as vines.
But the speed of the grass attack was so fast that it would be difficult for even a giant mantis to escape its attack if it flew over it.
The most critical problem is that I don't know how this grass digests food, roll and wrap, turn into a ball, and fall to the ground, and it only takes a few seconds to digest the food.
Obviously, each of these meadows is a separate creature, and they are made up of countless small grasses, and the roots of the grass are connected below, and the ferocity is not visible at all on the surface.
Cheng Kong carefully calculated the area of these grasslands, and the smallest area of grassland was more than 20 square meters, which should be regarded as the juvenile stage.
The largest grassland is more than 10 acres, spreading out of the valley along a 100-meter-wide rift valley for nearly a kilometer.
With such an area of grassland, I am afraid that even if the Beamon giant beast steps on it, it will suffer a big loss.
Of course, it is impossible for Cheng Kong to know the specific victory or defeat, after all, the strength of the Beamon Giant Beast is infinite, and it is difficult to say that the grass will not be directly supported into pieces by the Beamon Giant Beast before digesting the Beamon Giant Beast.
This night, Cheng Kong slept for a while, woke up for a while, and couldn't be woken up by the movement of those plants.
There were so many nocturnal plants in the rift that they couldn't fit that many plants in the rift, and some of them killed each other like wild beasts.
At the end of the night, Cheng Kong learned a lot of plant attack methods and other information, but the most powerful one has to be the grass.
No, this thing is too dominant to fight with other plants, and if other plants don't mess with it, it will spread on the ground and not move, if someone's branches, vines or other parts enter the meadow, without saying anything, the whole meadow will turn over to you.
Even if it was a vine net, it was not afraid, it still wrapped it directly, and digested the opponent in the blink of an eye.
In fact, this kind of grass gives Cheng Kong the feeling that it is composed of countless small grasses, but it is condensed into one, giving people a very special feeling.
As the night passed, at dawn, when the first rays of light began to fall, the nocturnal plants were like cat's rats, and they desperately burrowed into the ground.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound throughout the rift, and it didn't take long for various plants to disappear from the surface, leaving some holes that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, only the plants that Cheng Kong saw during the day were left in the rift, although the plants seen during the day had lost some, but they were all caused by the battle of those nocturnal carnivorous plants.
Nocturnal carnivorous plants don't seem to have the slightest appetite for these normal plants. Saved them as much as possible.
But come to think of it, there is some truth to this.
If there is no grass growing in the rift valley, even those nocturnal carnivorous plants have all sorts of ways to lure creatures. I'm afraid that many creatures will not enter the rift valley and fall into the net.
As the nocturnal carnivorous plants retreated back into the ground, the Rift Valley regained its daylight and tranquility.
Cheng Kong came down from the hanging wall and stepped on the surface, but he didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of alarming those weird nocturnal carnivorous plants.
After looking at some of the remaining caves, Cheng Kong couldn't help but admire the digestive power of these nocturnal carnivorous plants.
Nothing remained, not even a single bone.
Even if someone walks in. I don't know how terrible the night here is.
After eating a little of the dry food he carried, Cheng Kong continued to move forward.
During the day, the rift valley is safe. At least Cheng Kong walked all the way, and he really didn't encounter danger.
Where the sacrificial altar was, Brin didn't say, but just walked along the rift. Always visible.
If it weren't for the fear of leaving the sacrificial altar behind. Cheng Kong really wanted to fly over.
Well? There was a very strange tree in front of him, and Cheng Kong's eyes narrowed.
Looks like a dryad?
The dry and large trunk, short and thick, with few leaves on its branches, all showed its resemblance to the dryad.
However, there is something wrong with the aura of this tree, it has been in the hero world for so long. Cheng Kong can also tell the difference between a class and a normal creature from some places.
This strange tree gives people a sense of peace with some mystery.
Well, no matter how peaceful the strange tree is. Cheng Kong didn't dare to slack off, after all, this strange tree grew in the middle of the rift aisle, and no matter how he walked, he couldn't avoid it.
Cheng Kong had to let the little mantis go over to see what was going on, no matter what, even if it was the evolved Dryad King, he had no power to fight back against the giant mantis.
The little praying mantis jumped around the strange tree in the past, and the psychic link was sent, it was not a message from the dryad, and there was no danger.
Well, as long as there is no danger.
Cheng Kong stepped forward slowly, but found that the strange tree was facing his side, and a piece of bark peeled off, revealing a line of text.
Ten miles in front of the altar.
Oh, it turned out to be a road sign.
Cheng Kong continued to advance, and when he reached ten miles, the narrow rift suddenly became wide, forming a valley.
This valley, which covers an area of tens of thousands of acres, is like a paradise, with verdant trees, many animals, and the crisp sound of birds can be heard at any time.
At this time, Cheng Kong's gaze was already dull, and in the center of the valley, a huge platform suddenly came into view.
Is that the goal of this trip? The sacrificial altar?
Cheng Kong stepped forward quickly.
This sacrificial altar has an area of more than ten acres, more than ten meters above the ground, it looks huge, Cheng Kong stands in front of it, like a weak ant.
Cheng Kong recalled Bulin's story, took out ten wood essences, and threw them towards the sacrificial table.
No way, if it is to sacrifice with treasures, Cheng Kong is really reluctant.
Don't think about gold coins, it's too late to save gold coins now, how can you use the gold coin area to sacrifice.
The only thing left is the wood spirit, but fortunately, Cheng Kong destroyed the pirate ship before and collected one hundred and fifty wood spirits.
This altar, if it is sacrificed with gold coins, is at least 1,000 gold coins, and wood and iron spirits are 10, and as for treasures, any treasure can be put on the altar and sacrificed.
Cheng Kong threw out ten wood spirits, that is, he wanted to see what type of sacrificial altar it was.
As the ten wood spirits fell towards the altar, a ray of light rose and held the wood spirit in the air.
A vast consciousness rushed into Cheng Kong's mind, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a curtain of light that slowly unfolded from top to bottom.
Above the light curtain, several options appeared in turn.
The first item is gold, the second item is resources, the third item is treasures, and the fourth item is troops.
Cheng Kong suddenly realized at this time, I see, this is not to say that the sacrificial altar is like high technology, but that the consciousness of this sacrificial altar is manifested with the help of what he can understand.
Cheng Kong has a lot of contact with computers, and the light curtain that appears is like a computer display screen.
This sacrificial altar turned out to be a multi-functional high-end product, and there were four rewards for returning. It made Cheng Kong a little surprised.
Cheng Kong tried to concentrate his consciousness on the first option, and as Cheng Kong's consciousness was concentrated, the wood spirit held up by the light on the sacrificial altar immediately turned into a point of light and dissipated.
A moment later. A small pile of gold coins suddenly appeared and scattered at Cheng Kong's feet.
Cheng Kong took off the money bag from his waist and shook it towards the pile of gold coins, and the gold coins were immediately put into the money bag.
Five hundred gold coins?
Cheng Kong counted the extra gold coins in the money bag, and the number came to mind.
In this way, one wood spirit can be exchanged for fifty gold coins, and the one hundred and fifty wood spirits. Wouldn't it be worth 7,500 gold coins?
Cheng Kong felt a little unsuitable for his expectations.
On second thought, the minimum amount of sacrifice was ten wood spirits, or a thousand gold coins. In a way, ten wood spirits are worth the same amount as a thousand gold coins.
In this way, ten wood spirits were exchanged for five hundred gold coins, which is really a loss. This sacrificial altar is a little too tax-drawn.
Cheng Kong then threw in ten more wood essences. Reward treasure was selected.
As the wood spirit disappeared, a ball of light emerged from the altar, and then flew towards Cheng Kong.
Cheng Kong stretched out his hand towards the ball of light, and the ball of light immediately broke, and a shimmering emerald green with some yellow leaves appeared from the ball of light, and was caught in Cheng Kong's hand.
Unlike other treasures, there is no half of writing on the leaves, but when you get it. A piece of information came from the leaves, which made Cheng Kong understand the purpose of the leaves.
Zero-level treasures. The fallen leaves of the seedlings of the World Tree are the leaves that fall from the seedlings of the World Tree and are not as powerful as the leaves of the World Tree because they are fallen leaves. After eating, it can restore weak physical strength, spirit, and vitality.
Cheng Kong shook his head and did not continue to sacrifice.
Although this treasure is considered good, it is equivalent to the red and blue medicine in many games, but it can only be used once, and it can only restore weak physical strength and spiritual vitality, which determines that its value is very low.
Therefore, in terms of overall benefits, sacrifice is an extremely uneconomical act, and only when you need it urgently, can it be used to exchange what you don't need for other treasures, gold coins or troops, resources, and so on.
Cheng Kong didn't have anything in urgent need now, so he didn't stay too much at the sacrificial platform, in a place like this, it was very likely to meet other heroes, and Cheng Kong had no intention of ambushing others.
After searching the valley where the altar was located, I found no treasure chests or anything like that, but I found a chasm passage behind the valley.
After entering the rift passage, Cheng Kong only walked three miles before he encountered a team of bear goblins patrolling over him.
They were all green, wearing a new suit of leather armor, carrying a long-handled spiked hammer in their hands, and there were more than thirty people, and they were approaching them with some momentum.
These bear goblins are the evolved class of the barbarian first-level army of the big goblin, and their strength is not inferior to that of spearmen, and when they go head-to-head, they are not afraid of any first-level troops.
Cheng Kong's eyesight is much stronger than these bear goblins, after discovering the bear goblins, Cheng Kong pulled out the big bow, and when the other party entered his range, he shot an arrow.
The first two bear goblins fell on their backs, the first with a small hole in their forehead and the second with an arrow stuck in their forehead.
The arrow pierced the head of the first goblin and thrust into the forehead of the second.
This is the power that the sniper crossbow attaches to the arrows, which can pierce through all obstacles!
The fall of the two bear goblins made this group of bear goblins who originally seemed a little leisurely suddenly nervous, and after they looked around to judge the direction of the enemy, they swarmed towards Cheng Kong's side.
There was no doubt that this was an extremely impulsive creature, and they charged towards Cheng Kong in a scattered manner, while frantically wielding a long-handled spiked hammer.
Truth be told, if they were farther away, I'm afraid that just wielding a long-handled spike hammer would be enough to consume most of their stamina.
Facing the charge of the bear goblins, Cheng Kong smiled, a low-level soldier like the bear goblin who is not very fast is really not in his eyes now.
Starting from a distance of one hundred and sixty meters, when the bear goblins rushed to thirty meters, only one hundred and thirty meters of the charge, the bear goblins fell more than half, and the arrows were not missing, almost every arrow could penetrate the two bear goblins, and even at the moment when the three bear goblins lined up in a line. Cheng Kong shot an arrow, directly through the three-headed bear goblin.
The remaining more than ten bear goblins were ten meters away from Cheng Kong. There are only five left.
Before the five-headed bear goblin could swing the long-handled spike hammer, Cheng Kong swung a big bow and cut the bowstring through the throat, killing them all.
More than thirty corpses quickly turned into balls of light and merged into Cheng Kong's body.
After a slight pain, Cheng Kong's spirits lifted, and the fatigue caused by the rapid drawing of the bow and shooting arrows before dissipated. However, the evolutionary light balls transformed by these bear goblin corpses can only recover from fatigue and injuries for Cheng Kong.
As for the accumulation of the power of evolution. It's not very useful anymore.
With the annihilation of the bear goblin's army, there was a slight vibration sound in front of the rift, if it weren't for Cheng Kong's sensitivity to sound, it would be difficult for ordinary people to hear this sound.
It's the sound of a lot of beasts running. But because there are meat pads on the soles of the opponent's feet. The pace is light, so that the sound when it comes into contact with the ground is extremely weak.
With a bang, Cheng Kong's wings stretched out from his back and flew towards a high place, and when he reached a hundred meters, Cheng Kong glanced ahead and couldn't help but be surprised.
I saw a thousand kilometers ahead. A tall pass cut the rift at the waist.
At this time, the wolf cavalry of the brigade was pouring out of the pass and rushing towards their side. The whole process is like a silent movie.
Cheng Kong glanced at it, and the number of wolf cavalry that surged out was no less than a hundred.
Obviously, the bear goblins were patrols out of the pass ahead, and Cheng Kong killed the bear goblins and stabbed the hornet's nest.
The only problem is that I don't know how I got the news of the death of the bear goblin in the pass of the road.
There are more than 100 wolf cavalry, although they are all second-level soldiers, but it is not difficult for Cheng Kong to fly in the sky to solve them one by one.
But a trace of surprise soon appeared on Cheng Kong's face, and his gaze crossed the pass, and a string of small dots in the sky in the distance was gradually getting bigger.
When Cheng Kong saw clearly what the ever-growing dot was, he didn't hesitate at all, turned around and fled quickly towards the way he came.
It wasn't a small bird, it was a flock of giant birds that sputtered lightning sparks from time to time.
Each giant bird's wings stretched out more than ten meters long, and their eyes were locked on Cheng Kong, who was quickly fleeing in the air.
Thunderbird! That's the evolution of the Savage Rank 5 Soldier Dapeng!
According to Brynn, the Thunderbird is capable of manipulating lightning to unleash a swift lightning attack on enemies.
A special class like this is no less deterrent than the Black Bull!
The Black Bull has a 10% chance of successfully launching the Eye of Death, while the Thunderbird has 10% of the chance of launching a lightning attack, which is 20% like the Black Bull.
That is to say, if the group of thunderbirds with more than ten heads catches up with him, even if the giant mantis fights, it may not be able to escape, you must know that there are hundreds of wolf cavalry under the road are chasing after him.
Escape! This is Cheng Kong's only choice, if he is struck by the lightning of the Thunderbird, falls, and is chased by the wolf cavalry, he will attack up and down, and his little life will really be buried in this rift.
Well, just as Cheng Kong turned around and flew out of the hundred meters, several cyclops stood up on the pass in the distance, and they threw the stone balls in their hands towards Cheng Kong.
The fast-flying stone ball rubbed in the air, forming a fire meteor, with a long flame tail dragging behind it, whistling past Cheng Kong from time to time, roasting Cheng Kong's brows a little bent.
Grass! How did he stab such a hornet's nest, Cheng Kong guessed the truth at this moment.
Presumably, there is a barbaric city behind this pass, and after killing the bear goblin, he is naturally regarded as an intruder.
This city should be relatively strong, otherwise it would not have sent so many troops to chase down just because of one invader.
It's impossible to escape the pursuit of those thunderbirds by flying on your own!
With Cheng Kong's order, the little mantis jumped out from the top of Cheng Kong's head, and its body quickly became larger, and in the blink of an eye, it turned from a small point the size of a finger to a giant mantis with a body size of more than thirty meters.
As soon as Cheng Kong's wings were retracted, he pounced on the neck of the giant mantis, and his hands tightly grasped the sharp protrusion on the giant mantis's neck.
This is the first time Cheng Kong has seen the full size of the giant mantis, it is so big that Cheng Kong can't even sit firmly on it.
With a hula, the soft wings under the hard armor of the giant mantis's back immediately expanded. It was more than 60 meters long on the left and right, and with the flapping of its soft wings, the giant mantis quickly turned into a green streamer and rushed into the sky. Fly out of the rift.
The wolf cavalry below quickly gave up the pursuit, and their speed was very fast in the ground troops, but compared to the giant mantis, it was too slow.
Only the more than ten thunderbirds were chasing after him, and Cheng Kong had the courage to take off the big bow after the giant mantis flew steadily. Shoot a few arrows at the Thunderbird in the back.
But in the volatile sky, the arrows shot by Cheng Kong didn't even touch the edge of the thunderbird, and disappeared without a trace.
The Sniper Crossbow can ignore any obstacles, though. But for the Thunderbird, which is thousands of miles away, the arrow can't even touch the edge, which is far beyond the range of the arrow.
And the Thunderbird also ignored the arrows that were blown away by the wind at the end, and from time to time the whole body thundered. A bolt of lightning was shot.
At this distance though. The thunderbird's thunder and lightning were also useless, and they could only chase the giant mantis's ass and land in the air.
I don't know how far the road flew, the thunderbirds seemed to feel that they couldn't catch up, so they flapped their wings and turned away, and at this time, Cheng Kong breathed a sigh of relief.
And the giant mantis also immediately shrunk its body, allowing Cheng Kong to sit a little easier.
It was only then that Cheng Kong felt a tingling pain in his hands. When I raised my hand, I saw that the palms of both hands were worn out by the protrusion around the neck of the giant mantis.
Can't. The giant mantis also has the highest speed only when it recovers its full body shape, and in such a situation, Cheng Kong can't care so much, and it is normal for his hands to be worn out.
At this time, there is a mountain range below the giant mantis, and the previous escape was to fly along the mountain range, this is to avoid being pursued by those ground troops.
But at this time, Cheng Kong felt as if he was lost.
I can't find my way back.
On the left side of the mountain range is an endless layer of thatch, and on the right side of the mountain range is a desert.
The mountains in this area have become relatively small and narrow, and Cheng Kong's eyes can be seen left and right.
It seems that this escape is not far.
Cheng Kong simply let the giant mantis lower its altitude and fly back along the mountain range towards the road it came from, although this mountain range should have several branches, but it was always possible to find a way back.
Of course, Cheng Kong did not rule out finding some treasure chests, biological nests and the like along the way, so as not to run such a long way and not get any benefits at all, which would inevitably be a bit of a loss.
When he fled for his life, he was extremely fast, from more than ten o'clock in the morning to noon, and he escaped for nearly four hours in one breath.
Although Cheng Kong said that there was no timer, he had been here for a long time, and looking at the sun, he could roughly deduce the time.
It took four hours to escape, and it took even more time to get back this time.
Cheng Kong's mind was mainly on finding the treasure chest, but it didn't take long for him to fly, and a battle appeared below.
Near a pile of wood, a group of men and three griffons and a group of spearmen were fighting.
This is? No, those with exquisite bows and arrows are not castle-type archers, but fortress-based third-level class forest elves!
Just by looking at their erect pointed ears, their handsome faces, their long emerald green hair, their slender figures, and their leaf armor carefully woven from leaves, you can tell their identity.
They didn't miss any shots, and it wasn't long before the three griffons that flew down from mid-air were shot on the spot, and before the spearmen could get closer, a rain of arrows flew in, knocking the spearmen to the ground.
As the spearmen approached, the elves retreated, sending out another rain of arrows.
After several rounds of this, more than fifty spearmen were shot to the ground by the elves.
Seeing this almost one-sided battle, Cheng Kong couldn't help but be a little curious, and immediately ordered the giant mantis to turn his head back and take a look.
Obviously, these forest elves had excellent eyesight, and Cheng Kong just passed over them, and they ended their resting state, and then took the bow and arrow in their hands, and locked their sharp eyes on the giant mantis that was still hovering in the air.
When the giant mantis returned again, the forest elves immediately drew their bows and arrows, and in the blink of an eye, more than twenty arrows shot quickly into the air.
The elves were shooting arrows very fast, and the first wave of arrows had just left the string when the second wave of arrows came back.
Seeing those elves throwing arrows at him, Cheng Kong suppressed the excitement of the giant mantis wanting to go down and slaughter.
Those arrows couldn't have hit themselves, even though the forest elves were extremely fast. It is twice as high as the archer, but the height of the giant mantis in the air at this time is not less than a hundred meters.
An arrow with a range of fifty or sixty meters is impossible to reach this height, no matter what.
The result was no different from what Cheng Kong had inferred. The arrow flew to less than half the height of the giant mantis and fell, forming a parabola in the air.
The giant mantis continued to fly forward, and the elves chased after it for a while, and when they couldn't catch up, they returned to the pile of wood.
Clearly, these elves are the wild creatures guarding the pile.
And that pile of wood is a pile of wood spirits, the second time it turns over the pile. Cheng Kong has seen it clearly.
In this heroic world, if you want to say that the most proficient archery should be the legendary phantom archer. They are said to have the natural ability to sniper with a crossbow, ignoring any obstacle and shooting any enemy within range. 100 shots. Never fail.
However, it is said that it is a legend, so phantom archers rarely appear, in addition, it is recognized that the most proficient archery is the third-level evolutionary class of the fortress system, the moon elves, and the forest elves who guard around those wood spirits are the moon elves after evolution.
Therefore, the archery skills of the forest elves are not much worse than those of the moon elves, but they are worse in range and strength.
Cheng Kong let the giant mantis land on the ground, and jumped down with a slight support of his right hand.
The giant mantis then shrunk to the size of a finger. jumped on top of Cheng Kong's head and lay down.
Cheng Kong wanted to have a discussion with those forest elves this time, and by the way, he took the pile of wood spirits into his pocket.
When Cheng Kong was 100 meters close to the wooden pile. The forest elves showed vigilance and put their hands on their bows and arrows behind their backs.
These elves are so vigilant!
When Cheng Kong saw this scene, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the range of these elves was only fifty or sixty meters, and they could easily detect movements within a hundred meters.
It's no wonder that a team of no more than twenty forest elves can easily shoot three griffons and more than fifty spearmen.
Being able to spot the enemy in advance is a great advantage for ranged troops.
Twenty or so elves were scattered by griffons and easily strangled by spearmen, but the elves made good use of their speed and arrows.
As a result, one elf was lost, and the battle was settled.
It's no wonder that fortress-based cities are the most difficult to attack.
An elf with such archery, coupled with the best at defending the city, the dwarves, is enough to make any enemy miserable.
As for the Pegasus Cavalry, Unicorns, and Green Dragons, after the enemy collapsed, it was not bad to use them in pursuit.
Now that the other party found out, Cheng Kong no longer concealed it, stood up from the thatch, stretched his bow and pulled the string to shoot an arrow.
The elf who was locked by Cheng Kong's arrow immediately jumped back, trying to dodge the arrow.
If another archer had fired the arrow, the elf would have dodged.
But in the face of Cheng Kong's arrow, the elf's dodging action was a little slower, and the arrow directly pierced through the thigh, screamed in pain, and fell to the ground.
The companion was wounded by a cold arrow, which immediately aroused the anger of those elves, and they rushed towards Cheng Kong with bows and arrows.
No way, Cheng Kong's location was about a hundred meters away from them, which was far beyond their range, so they had to run quickly to close the distance between them and Cheng Kong, otherwise, even if they shot arrows, they would not be able to hit the other party.
This was already evident in their previous shooting of the giant mantis.
Seeing the elves chasing after him, Cheng Kong couldn't help but smile, shot an arrow again, piercing a elf through his chest, and then turned around and retreated, and only after pulling out a distance of 100 meters did Cheng Kong stand still and continue to shoot arrows.
Obviously, Cheng Kong used the kite flying tricks that the elves used to deal with them, which made the elves seem a little overwhelmed.
After a few elves fell, the forest elves stood still, not daring to pursue them again.
This is already obvious, Cheng Kong uses his range to shoot elves with kites that are inferior to his own range, so that the forest elves have no room to shoot bows and arrows at all.
The elves gathered together, seemed to discuss something, and then dispersed, forming a loose circle towards Cheng Kong.
In the process, Cheng Kong seized the opportunity to shoot three elves.
But then, it became difficult for Cheng Kong to shoot the elves so easily. (To be continued......)
