Roland opened his eyes and shook his head slowly: "Vera and her thunderbird 'Zod' are still about 1,000 feet away from the top of the cliff, and they are not alarming the Peng Emperor who is entrenched on the top of the cliff, but they are fighting with the arrow eagle perched in the middle of the cliff, and she seems to want to use spells to control the eagles to act as her puppet." ”

"Control the Eagle as a puppet? This is in line with Vera's usual style. Nikita quickly calculated the current situation and came up with a more optimistic guess: "I know Vera well, she rarely takes risks, and always makes a move after being fully prepared, and now she doesn't go to the top of the cliff to challenge Peng Huang, most of them are not completely sure, so she plans to clean up the arrow eagle near the cliff first, so there are two benefits, first of all, when you challenge Peng Huang, you don't have to worry about the eagle flock coming to support Peng Huang, and secondly, she controls the eagle flock as much as possible for her use, and even drives the eagle flock to open the way in front, As cannon fodder for hunting Emperor Peng! ”

"Are you sure Vera would do that?" Roland looked solemnly at Miss Mage.

"I'm sure!" Nikita nodded, "Using spells to confuse the enemy and make the enemy kill each other, this is Vera's usual method, a person's style of acting is like a fingerprint, and it will never be easily changed!" ”

"If that's the case, Vera won't challenge Emperor Peng for a while, and we still have a chance to catch up." Roland immediately stood up, "Let's fly directly to the top of the cliff from here, and try to deal with Emperor Peng before Vera makes a move." ”

Nikita jumped up to perform "Flying", but was stopped by Roland with a wave of his hand.

"Today is going to be a long day, spells can be saved, I'll take you to fly for a while."

Nikita was slightly stunned, and then remembered that Roland's "divine flight" did not need to consume spell slots, and although the flight speed was limited by the rules, at least it would not fly slower than Vera's Thunderbird.

"Uncle Matthew, Nikita and I will get off here, and you wait for us at the foot of the mountain near Stormwind Bluff, and send you a magic text if we need to use the car," Roland thought for a moment, and added, "If you haven't heard from me before dark, you can drive the carriage back to town." ”

After a hurried explanation, Roland put his arm around Nikita's waist with one hand, pushed the car door and jumped out, and the two figures hugging each other flew straight to the top of the cliff in the distance.

……

"Come back, Zode, we've got more than twenty puppets to do."

The female mage in a sexy robe floated in the air, calling out to her Thunderbird companion with a "telepathic connection", her eyes slowly scanning the arrow eagle hovering around her, enchanted by the spell, and a smug smile appeared on her bright face.

"Vera, what are you going to do next? Let me lead this flock of weak 'pheasants' to the trouble of that big guy at the top of the cliff? I have to warn you, it's never a good idea! "The Thunderbird has an intelligence that is not inferior to that of a human, and is also proficient in using human language to communicate with his partner.

"Okay Zuode, don't be like a cowardly pigeon, you can completely kill that stupid big bird, its intelligence is not much stronger than ordinary birds, and it doesn't have any supernatural powers or spell-casting abilities, it's just relatively large, I really don't understand what you have to be afraid of!" Vera's face was gloomy, and she tried to motivate her partner with a provocative approach.

However, Zuode didn't eat her, twisted his neck to make a speechless expression, and complained loudly exaggeratedly: "Haha! 'It's just bigger'? You can say it! That's a Roc King who has evolved to the ultimate realm, and one wing alone is bigger than my entire body! It's true that guy isn't smart and doesn't have any spell casting abilities, but so what? It flies faster than me, its strength is at least three times greater than mine, its claws and beak are five times the size of mine, and if you don't die if you take a claw, you will be seriously injured, and I can't win it alone! ”

"I didn't plan to let you single out Emperor Peng, I didn't help you find a large group of helpers." Vera raised her staff and pointed to the group of eagles she had spelled.

Thunderbird Zode rolled his eyes disdainfully, "I don't see any use for this flock of pheasants. ”

"That's because you don't use your brain." Vera sneered at her partner, and ordered irresistibly: "Zuode, my friend, I must seriously warn you, the next action is all up to me, you only need to carry out my orders." ”

"Hey! Arrogant woman, don't you want to listen to your friend's advice? It's good for you! ”

"Shut up, stupid bird! We've wasted a lot of time just because we're listening to your ideas, and we need to act now! Taming the Peng Emperor is only the first step, and then I will take you and the Peng Emperor to the trial site next door, the four-armed orangutan king and the land shark king should not have been subdued at this time, and we will have the opportunity to surprise those trialists who are trudging through the jungle with great difficulty. The female mage smiled sinisterly.

"Vera, you're such a vicious woman, but I like your idea!" Zuo De quacked and laughed.

Vera whistled and called the arrow eagles under her control to her, and divided them into two groups, one group stayed on the mountainside to patrol and guard, preventing the arrow eagles in the cliff cave that had not yet been controlled by her from flying to the top of the cliff in response to Emperor Peng's call, and the other group of arrow eagles followed Zuode to the top of the cliff.

A towering cypress towers over the top of Stormstorm Cliffs, an indescribably large nest built between the branches. Vera looked at the Penghuang Nest from afar, feeling as small as an ant, and had to admit that Zuode's concerns were not superfluous, and the owner of this huge nest was indeed difficult to deal with.

But Vera believes in her own wisdom. She first blessed herself with a "high-level invisibility technique", and waved her hand to spread a large cloud of pale cyan smoke in the recess of the sheltered mountain cliff.

These magical green smoke is the embodiment of the 5-ring confusion control arcane "mind fog", all creatures that break into the smoke-shrouded area will be unknowingly mentally anesthetized, and their willpower will become extremely fragile, and their resistance to confusion control spells will also be greatly reduced.

Vera considers herself an "elegant spellcaster", despising the brainless play of throwing fireballs and lightning, and preferring to use spells to "impress" opponents and turn enemies into her own minions rather than using violence, so as to maximize her vanity and show her intelligence and charm.

After setting up the trap, Vera turned around and blessed Zode the Thunderbird with a "protection against evil", ordering it to attack the Penghuang's lair to lure the simple-minded man out of the lair.

Zode is a clever bird, and he knows what to do next without being reminded by Vera.
