Chapter 60: Sky Horseeater
It was another morning, Chen Mian woke up early, and after preparing the magic berries to be eaten in the mission, she carried out routine cultivation, and her mana value reached 60 points.
After she traded with Anne yesterday, she still had 173 crystals left, enough to buy a silver-level piece of equipment, but she was not in a hurry to buy it.
The next thing she wants to change is the Stardust suit on her body, but if she changes it all to the silver level, it will require a lot of money, so she plans to save it for the time being, and save it until she sells the pattern at the beginning of next month.
After checking her gear and belongings, she entered her personal transit space and chose to start the mission.
In the mission transit space, a mission brief appears in front of her.
"Sky Horseeater (Normal): A griffin nests on the Beak Cliff, and the only trade route connecting the Duchy of Obes and the Duchy of Wright passes through the canyon a hundred meters wide below. 、
The Principality of Obes is a well-developed livestock farm, located on the Obes Plain surrounded by the Somali Mountains, and the Principality's vultures are famous for their vultures, which are often sold to other countries on the continent through the Sharp Beak Gorge.
The arrival of this griffin caused a lot of caravans along the way.
Please clear the Tsim Beak Canyon section of the trade roadside threats. ”
Seeing the nest on the cliff, Chen Mian knew that she had guessed correctly, and sure enough, it was a flying creature, and she chose to enter the mission.
It was a fertile, grassy grassland, and Chen Mian stood on a straight loess road, surrounded by rolling mountains.
Everywhere the loess road in front of you, the mountains seem to have been split into a huge crack, forming a large canyon several hundred meters wide.
It seemed like it was morning too, and the sun was slanting in the sky from the canyon, and the towering cliffs on either side of the cliffs cast huge shadows on the ground.
When Chen Mian entered the mission world, he put on a mage armor for himself, and then flew into the sky on the witch's flying broomstick.
From a high enough position, she looked out over the surrounding terrain, and the cliff faces on either side of the canyon had a prominent protrusion like a pointed beak.
Cautiously getting closer, Chen Mian saw a huge nest made of branches, leaves, and animal bones on it, and a huge thing sleeping in it with its strong wings, its long lion-like tail wagging from time to time.
Chen Mian knew that this should be a griffin.
"Xiao Mian, there's something in the back", Xiao Hei reminded with his little head stretched out in Chen Mian's satchel.
Chen Mian turned to look, only to see a small black dot emerging from the depths of the green grassland, and after a while, it turned into a thin line composed of intermittent black dots, walking along the loess road, she thought it might be a passing caravan.
After glancing at the still sleeping griffin, Chen Mian quickly decided to go and see what was coming from the grassland first.
Not long after flying, he touched an invisible barrier, and not far from the barrier, he could clearly see a carriage followed by five or six people, as well as a dozen vulture horses, walking towards this side.
Chen Mian descended to five meters, the stealth effect of the broom disappeared, and after waiting quietly on the side of the road for the caravan to come, he told them that there was a griffin in the canyon in front of them.
This caravan mainly sells horses, and what they are most afraid of is this kind of demonic beast that likes to feed on horses, hearing that Chen Mian wants them to stay in place for a while, and wait until she solves the griffin before moving forward, the people of the caravan breathe a sigh of relief, and they stopped very cooperatively, and gathered the horses together.
Chen Mian was satisfied, this place was far enough away from the canyon to not affect the battle she was waiting for.
After eliminating the hidden danger, she was just about to return to the Sharp Beak Canyon, when she suddenly saw the rope connecting the horses, remembered that she still had an activation rope spell without casting materials, so she asked the people in the caravan for a few thick hemp ropes of different lengths before flying towards the griffon's nest.
She took a fancy to the gap near the cliff wall next to the griffon's nest on the sharp-beaked cliff, which was about four or five meters wide, and it was also four or five meters away from the griffon's nest on the edge of the sharp-beaked cliff.
But the witch's flying broomstick will be lifted when it is about five meters above the ground, so she must be fast, pinch the transformation stone in the palm of her hand in advance, and fly to the target position as fast as possible.
Two meters above the ground, the griffin sensed that something was wrong, its tail stopped wagging and its wings spread, and it stood up in the nest, turning vigilantly to see Chen Mian close to it.
It has a lion-like body and an eagle's head, forelimbs and wings, as swift and deadly as a falcon, and as powerful and graceful as a lion.
Sensing the violation, the griffin flapped its wings, its sharp claws stretched forward, and quickly pounced on Chen Mian, wanting to grab Chen Mian with its claws, and then peck through the body of this daring man with its sharp beak.
Chen Mian felt the sound of wings fluttering behind her, and didn't dare to look back, she was about to land successfully. One hand gripped the Metamorphose, and the other hand put away the witch's flying broomstick.
With the griffin's first peck, the mage armor on Chen Mian's body shattered in response, and at the same time, a thick hemispherical stone covered Chen Mian and fit closely with the cliff wall behind him, with only three fist-sized holes distributed in an inverted zigzag on the front, sides, and top.
The griffin watched as Chen Mian hid in the stone, his claws leaving only a centimeter-deep claw mark on the stone, and pecked at a round hole with his sharp beak again, but only a small stone chip was pecked.
This stone ball is very thick, and the damage of this attack of the griffin is only a drizzle.
Instead, when pecking into the hole, he was hit in the eye by a magic missile flying from a hole above the hole.
The griffon screamed in pain, took a few steps back, and staggered for a few moments before regaining its balance in the perspective of one eye.
Chen Mian took the opportunity to use information perception to check the griffin's information.
"Race: Griffin
Health: 80%
Attributes: Strength 19, Agility 17, Constitution 18, Intelligence 3, Perception 13
Skills: Multiple Attack; keen eyesight; beak peck; claw strike; ”
Chen Mian was very glad that the griffin was a physical attack monster again, mainly relying on physical attacks. She put her mind at ease and prepared a second spell.
The griffon tilted its head slightly, let out a scream, and wanted to pounce, but was a little hesitant to rush over and attack again.
Chen Mian had already prepared the second spell at this time, and stretched out his hand a little into the round hole, and a cone-shaped flame shot out from his hand, igniting the griffin's feathers, and even the nest behind it was blazing.
The griffin didn't expect it to be so far away that the humans in the stone ball could still attack it, and the space on the sharp-beaked cliff was limited, and it would be burned to death if it stayed any longer.
The griffin flapped its wings and flew up, dodging the greasy spell that Chen Mian unleashed next, only to increase the fire in the lair behind the griffin.
The nest was burned, and the griffon, who had intended to fly to the top of the cliff to extinguish the flames in his legs, was carried away by the rage, and flew to the top of the stone ball desperately, flapping its wings while frantically attacking the stone ball with its beak and claws.
Chen Mian shot out from the top of the stone ball with a flaming hand, hitting it in the leg, and the flames that had just been extinguished by the wings ignited even more violently, but the griffin found that it had gained more than it gained, not only did it not attack the enemy inside, but it suffered more damage.
