Chapter 22: The Struggle
Wright gasped: "This is Thunderhawk?" No, the size of the Thunder Eagle is much smaller, this is actually a ninth-level demonic beast, Thundercloud Peng Eagle! ”
The Thundercloud Eagle is a very mysterious magical beast, and even in history, it has not been witnessed more than five times. It is only known that the Dao Thunder Cloud Peng Eagle is also the most powerful one among the ninth-level demonic beasts, with extremely fast flight speed, thunder attributes, and can release powerful thunder magic through its wings. Wright roughly remembered that this kind of magical beast, along with the black-veined clouded leopard of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and the feathered serpent of the Dark Forest, were the three most mysterious magical beasts. Mankind's understanding of the Sacred Realm Warcraft is deeper than that of these three Warcraft.
However, at this moment, this beautiful demonic beast was scarred, and the blue halo on the surface of the feathers was dim, and the armor of the thunder system was crumbling when it was attacked. Even so, the armor could not completely defend against the attack, and it was occasionally broken through again and again, adding a new scar to Lei Yun Peng's body. Pale golden blood dripped to the ground.
The siege of Lei Yun Peng Eagle was a swarm of ants. Of course, it's not those small ants that can be trampled to death with one foot everywhere, but the unique insect monster in the Sunset Mountains, the iron-winged fire ant.
The iron-winged fire ant is a fire-type demonic beast with an iron-red body surface and belongs to a social type of demonic beast. Each Iron-winged Fire Ant colony has a "Mother Emperor", who is the leader of this group of Iron-winged Fire Ants, and the mother of the vast majority of members of the group, and the only one who has the ability to reproduce. The Mother Emperor has absolute control over the members of the clan, but most of the ordinary fire ants have average intelligence, and only the Mother Queen and the 'Princess' have high intelligence.
The strength of a single individual fire ant is not very strong. The most ordinary individual, no more than the size of a fist, the so-called Iron Wing does not have the slightest ability to fly, it is only equivalent to a layer of armor on its back. The most common iron-winged fire ants are called "worker ants", which are generally first-level demonic beasts, and occasionally some of the more powerful ones are second-level demonic beasts.
And for every hundred ordinary iron-winged fire ants, there will be a "soldier ant" with huge pincer teeth, four wings with short flight ability, and can grow to the length of a human arm, and the soldier ant is a third-level or even fourth-level magical beast.
On top of the "soldier ants", there are also "general ants", which have the strength of five or six levels of demonic beasts, the carapace of the whole body is dark, the two pairs of iron wings on the back are more developed, and can spit out fireballs equivalent to the power of fourth-level magic. Of course, if it is a relatively small colony of iron-winged fire ants, it will not be able to give birth to ants.
Of course, in a group of iron-winged fire ants, the most powerful are the "personal guards" and "princesses" of the mother queen.
The guard, in fact, is a male ant, who will mate with the mother emperor to give birth to eggs, and also serve as the duty of guarding the mother emperor, and the strength is slightly worse than that of the mother emperor, with a few dozen or dozens of them. The "princess" is the successor of the mother, when the mother is killed or dies of old age, the most powerful of the "princess" will naturally transform, into the form of the mother, with the ability to lay eggs, and before that, there is not much combat power to speak of.
Whether it is the mother queen or the queen queen's guards and princesses, their strength is related to the number of races, or conversely, the strength of the mother queen determines the number of races. For an ordinary fire ant colony, the strength of the Mother Emperor is about a seventh-level demonic beast. And the guards are about the same strength.
Although the strength of the Mother Emperor determines the number of clans, the Mother Emperor generally does not participate in battles! The Iron-winged Fire Ant is a magical beast that wins by numbers. For Warcraft of the same level, the larger the individual, the stronger the strength and defense, and the more advantageous it is in one-on-one combat.
But if it's a group monster, the smaller the individual size, the easier it is to form a siege!
With Wright's power, his size, if he is besieged by a pack of toothed wolves, six or seven toothed wolves can besiege at the same time, even if the cooperation is very good. If you don't consider the strong people in the group, even the million-toothed wolf pack will be difficult to kill before his fighting energy is exhausted and his strength is exhausted.
But a magical beast of this size like the Iron-Winged Fire Ant, even if sixty or seventy Iron-Winged Fire Ants can besiege at the same time, seven or eight fourth-level strength sieges can kill sixth-level warriors at most, but seventy or eighty besieged at the same time, it is normal to kill a seventh- or eighth-level warrior!
In addition, the number of the Iron-Winged Fire Ant Population is very large, even the most ordinary Iron-Winged Fire Ant Clan has hundreds of thousands of members, and thousands of third- and fourth-level demonic beasts are enough to fight against the ordinary ninth-level demonic beasts.
And the group in front of Wright, although it is not counted, I am afraid that the total number is more than one million. Like the weeds on the side of the road, the Iron-winged Fire Ant is as vigorous and vigorous as the roadside, and although it is of a lower rank, it tends to win in overwhelming numbers.
At this moment, dense iron-winged fire ants were besieging and biting the thundercloud Peng eagle, and countless insect seas were rolling.
If it is one-on-one, it is the mother emperor guard of a large group, and it is only the eighth-level demonic beast level, and the relatively weak kind is definitely not able to withstand the random blow of the thundercloud pengdiao. But at this moment, countless iron-winged fire ants are besieging.
The thunder and lightning guarding on the thunder cloud peng carving easily scorched the ordinary worker ants one by one, but when one was scorched, three or five worker ants jumped up to take the place. As the worker ants who sent them to death consumed the power of the thunder and lightning, dimming the thunder and lightning on the surface, a soldier ant would jump up and bite hard with its iron pincer-like mouth. A soldier ant with the strength of a third-level demonic beast would not be able to break through the feather defense of the Thundercloud Peng Eagle, but there were too many Iron Winged Fire Ants, and wave after wave of attacks like a tide caused the scales of the Thundercloud Peng Eagle to gradually shatter and blood splattered.
The thundercloud peng eagle also had its own counterattack, its wings released a thick electric current, and the worker ants and soldier ants in the thunder light were turned into char by the lightning. A thunderous sound was released from his mouth, and a sonic boom roared to knock down the flying fire ants in the distance. With a flap of the wings, dozens or hundreds of iron-winged fire ants were swept into blood and crushed.
However, the number of these iron-winged fire ants killed by the thundercloud peng eagle is only a drop in the ocean compared to the total number of the population.
"Aang!" The thundercloud eagle let out an angry chirp, but it was still difficult to resist the wave of attacks of the iron-winged fire ants.
Wright looked at this battle, and couldn't help but sigh at the ferocity of the battle between the monsters, no, this is not a fight, but a war against a group.
A single iron-winged fire ant is extremely vulnerable in front of the thundercloud peng eagle, and the attack of an individual will not pose the slightest threat to the powerful thundercloud peng eagle, but the cumulative damage of dozens, hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of iron-winged fire ants can make the thundercloud peng eagle scarred, bloodstained, and more and more miserable. However, the number of this group of iron-winged fire ants is not less than a million!
Suddenly, a question popped up in Wright's mind, why didn't this thundercloud peng eagle run away?
"The frontal combat power of the large iron-winged fire ant colony is almost impossible to resist under the holy domain, but if you escape, not to mention the speed of the thundercloud pengdiao, even my own speed may throw off the iron-winged fire ant colony!"
"Lei Yunpeng cowed on the ground, passive resistance, it should be protecting something"
"Could it be..." Wright's eyes lit up, "What can make the Thundercloud Pengdiao resist passively regardless of his life must be extremely precious, and the greatest possibility is its child."
However, Wright saw the iron-winged fire ants flying all over the sky, and showed a wry smile, if these iron-winged fire ants are chasing and killing him now, he is absolutely sure to escape, but if he rushes to the side of the thundercloud Pengdiao and is besieged by a swarm of insects, it is estimated that he will be gnawed into bones in two or three seconds. I want to go to the fire to get chestnuts, but I don't have that ability.
Suddenly, Wright had a feeling of extreme danger, as if he was being stared at by a natural enemy, and looked in the direction of his gaze. The thundercloud on the battlefield stared at him deadly.
"Bad luck!" Wright thought to himself, these iron-winged fire ants can't help themselves because they are sure to be faster than all of them, but the ninth-level thundercloud Peng Eagle? It wouldn't take a second to kill itself, and now I can only hope that it will stick to protecting what lies underneath it--- whether it's an egg or not, or something important.
However, Lei Yunpeng's gaze changed, and Wright did not know how to look at people's eyes, but saw anger, despair, pleading, relief, and determination in its eyes.
But how did Wright understand the look in Lei Yun's eyes? The momentum on Lei Yun Pengdiao's body suddenly changed.
