Chapter 291: Escape from the Air (1)

While escaping, the protagonist is separated from the Flyhawk and the Praying Tiger.

This is normal, because the Eagle and the Praying Tiger have poor eyesight, and at the speed at which the fly mounts are now running, they have already flown over without even seeing the obstacles in front of them.

At this speed, they were unable to maneuver effectively, so the fly mount, which had lost the knight's control, was fleeing on instinct.

When the fly mounts find themselves flying in a straight line not as fast as the pursuing wasps, they naturally turn to avoid the predators. In terms of dexterity in flight, flies outperform wasps.

But the direction of the fly eagle and the mantis tiger is not the same, and the two of them and the protagonist who runs away in a straight line are scattered with each other.

The protagonist has been manipulating Xiaoqing II and running straight south, believing that the straight escape distance is the shortest. But in doing so he made the mistake of empiricism.

Because the protagonist has good eyesight and rich driving experience, Xiaoqing II is under his control, and he narrowly avoids the obstacles in front of him.

But when the protagonist looks back, he can't be proud. He found himself alone, with the three wasps all chasing after him, getting closer.

The protagonist thinks about it for a moment and understands the cause and effect. The speed of flies is not as good as that of wasps, and although their operation is on the level, it still has an impact on the speed. Therefore, the three wasps chose themselves as their prey at the same time, which was slower and did not bend to dodge.

Thinking of this, the protagonist lets go of the reins and lets Xiaoqing II decide the escape route himself.

This move has slightly accelerated the speed, but in the eyes of the wasp there is only one target now, the protagonist, and Xiaoqing II has not been able to shake off the pursuers when he rushes left and right, and even the distance is still slowly getting closer.

The protagonist looks down at the ground, everything on the ground is rapidly retreating, this is the protagonist's last retreat, if he can't escape from the air, he can only jump to the ground again to find a chance to escape.

But this time, even if you jump to the ground, you may not be able to survive.

Not to mention how far the current location is from the north bank of the river, whether the protagonist can return to the "bridgehead" alone. Even the current three wasps are difficult to deal with.

The last time the protagonist was chased by a Vespa, they also had the option to wound the only pursuer and land, and the injured Vespa fled, posing no threat to the protagonist who lost mobility on the ground.

But now there are three wasps behind it, and according to the most optimistic predictions, the protagonist can injure or even kill one of them, and Xiaoqing II will lead one away.

Then, when the protagonist lands, there is also a wasp to deal with. The protagonist can also be injured, just like the last time he wounded a wasp in his leg.

It is impossible for the injured protagonist to beat a wasp flying in the air on the ground, no matter how strong his strength is, his hind legs will not be able to support him with all his strength, and agile enemies will continue to attack him until they subdue themselves.

Now, what else can be done to stop the wasps behind them?

The protagonist examines his equipment, and the spear is damaged and missing, leaving only six slings next to the saddle.

Yes, and the slings. These slings can be used against some flying insects.

Although theoretically, it is impossible for the slings to penetrate the thick carapace of the wasp. However, the back of the throwing stone has a long rope attached to it, and if it can be thrown out to wrap around the pursuer's wings, it can make them fall.

The protagonist immediately unravels a sling, trying to spin it around and throw it behind him.

But he immediately realized that he couldn't. If he is flying at low speeds, he can also swing the slings and throw them as if he were on the ground.

But now Xiaoqing is flying at high speed, and the oncoming wind makes the slings blow straight behind him, and he can't swing them at all.

The protagonist is unwilling to throw the slings that are not waved directly behind him, hoping for a miracle, but the slings that are not waved fall to the ground softly and do not have any effect.

The protagonist tries again, again with the same result.

However, the protagonist has a little experience, and he takes out the third sling, waiting for an opportunity.

When Xiaoqing II makes a sharp turn and distances himself from his pursuers a little more, the protagonist drops the slings above the rear.

The slings are thrown to a certain height and then fall down. At this time, the wasps are slowing down and turning.

These wasps were larger and less agile than flies, so they had to slow down when they turned, and the three wasps were so close that the slings hit one of the wasps in the head as they fell.

But that's all there is to it, the stone flicked on the wasp's hard skull and continued to fall to the ground, and the long rope behind it failed to entangle the wasp as expected.

The wasp that was hit didn't even react and continued to chase after it. Perhaps, in its opinion, it was nothing more than being hit by a floating object in the air while flying, and it did not cause any harm or pain at all.

But the protagonist sees a glimmer of hope.

During the second sharp turn, the protagonist throws two slings behind him at the same time.

This time, the protagonist was not disappointed again.

Both slings spun due to the centrifugal force of the turn and the force of the sling's fall from a great height.

The spinning slings wrapped around one of the hapless wasps at the same time, and its wings and head were immediately wrapped in long ropes, which could no longer maintain their high-speed vibrations.

So, although the wasp struggled hard, the more it struggled, the tighter it became entangled, and it fell helplessly to the ground.

These ropes are all woven from hemp fibers and are very tough. Moreover, the entwined position will not be bitten by the wasp's mouth, and the protagonist can imagine that it is impossible to break free with the strength of the wasp's wings and six limbs alone.

The wasp, which has lost its ability to fly, falls to the ground and cannot escape, and its fate awaits itself.

However, the protagonist should now be more concerned about his own fate.

Although one of the pursuers is eliminated, the other two wasps do not care about the lives of their companions at all, and they still chase after the protagonist.

The protagonist has only one sling left at hand, and if he throws it, he may be lucky enough to shoot down another wasp, but this probability is very slim.

And there are no other weapons left around the protagonist, except for a little rope.

Do you want to throw the slings out?

What makes the protagonist even more difficult is that Xiaoqing II struggled to escape, but still failed to shake off the pursuers. The protagonist can already feel that Xiaoqing II's physical strength is about to reach its limit.

In terms of dexterity, flies have an advantage, but in terms of stamina, flies are inferior to wasps......
