Chapter 369: Flying Mount
It was a huge bird of prey with a head and feet three meters tall and a wingspan of more than eight meters, surrounded by storm currents.
The moment he heard its cry, whether it was the ill-intentioned Flame Python, or Fang Jin and Xue Feifei, who confronted it and could open it at any time, their faces couldn't help but change.
The air overlord inhabited by the Huangshan Warcraft resource belt is here!
Feeling the monster with only thick tawny feathers, flapping its wings and slowly passing over the dense forest of Yellow Mountain, the Flame Python was the first to be frightened by the breath. It glanced at Fang Jin and Xue Feifei intentionally or unintentionally, turned around, and swam back into the bushes, not daring to show any traces.
Seeing that the crisis on the ground was temporarily lifted, Fang Jin immediately pulled Xue Feifei and retreated into the woods together.
It wasn't until the overlord in the air flew by as if in his own garden and disappeared into the sea of clouds of Huangshan that the two dared to return to the mountain road.
"Storm Griffon!"
Fang Jin's expression was a little excited, and he read out the name of the bird of prey that had just passed, and this was the goal of his trip!
The Storm Griffin is a silver-tier monster with a level of 20 or higher. Even the most common ones have strength, and the strongest can even reach the elite level. At this stage, and for a long time to come, the Storm Gryphon is the best flying mount for Silver Pros - there isn't one!
A long time ago, when Fang Jin went to the depths of Dabie Mountain to search for the saplings of the Golden Apple Tree, he had rented a Storm Griffin from Merchant 0682.
At that time, he relied on the might of the Storm Griffin, and was almost not attacked by any monsters along the way, and easily broke into the center of the Dabie Mountain Demon Belt.
But the storm griffin that just flew over was not a flying mount after they signed a contract, but a real bird of prey and a flying monster!
Even with Fang Jin's current strength, he would be disgraced against this monster.
It's not that Fang Jin can't beat it, although the level is several levels worse, and it has crossed a level, but with Xue Feifei's treatment, it is still no problem to resist. The point is that the storm griffin comes and goes freely, and Fang Jin can only be beaten passively, and there is no way to take the other party at all!
That's the worst thing.
Fortunately, Fang Jin's poaching plan this time didn't really need to face a storm griffin. His plan was to infiltrate the Tiandu Peak of the Yellow Mountain with Xue Feifei, find the nest that the Storm Griffin had built on it, and steal a few griffin eggs, or griffin cubs!
As for the contract scroll for signing the contract, he had already purchased it from the black merchant in the purchase a few months ago.
As long as he succeeds, Fang Jin will be able to get a superb flying mount in advance, and he will come and go freely in the last days from then on. Instead of relying on more and more shabby cars, fly straight to your destination in style and efficiency, and then reel back to town!
In addition to this, the Storm Gryphon is a formidable fighter in its own right.
In the previous life, the number of Storm Griffon mounts owned by the members of the Great Guild was once recognized as an important indicator of the guild's combat power. Some of the top guilds can even organize aerial warbands with hundreds of Storm Griffons in the late post-apocalyptic period!
However, in this life...... Hey.
Just think about Fang Jin's deliberate placement of his headquarters in Shu County, north of Huangshan, to know his intentions. With the strength of the Salvation Guild in Anhui Province, the storm griffin that inhabits the Yellow Mountain area has been regarded by him as his specialty.
At its peak, there were thousands of storm griffins!
………
After experiencing more than a dozen battles along the way, the two finally climbed Tiandu Peak in the afternoon after taking a short break in the middle.
Here, the view suddenly widens. The mountain breeze blows the sea of white clouds, making the lush scenery on the ridge disappear from time to time, and there is an indescribable atmosphere.
Looking around, in the sky of the dozens of peaks of Huangshan Mountain, the shadow of the storm griffin can be seen from time to time, patrolling its own territory.
Now in the second year of the end of the world, although the number of storm griffins is still far from the peak, according to Fang Jin's conservative estimate, there are still a few hundred.
And, there must have been an elite-level Storm Gryphon among them!
Because the flying mount is not impossible to replace, Fang Jin did not force it this time, he could get an ordinary griffin cub and raise it for transportation. Of course, if it is a coincidence that you can directly find the nest of the elite-level Storm Gryphon in one step, it will be the best.
"There!"
Xue Feifei's eyes were sharp, and she saw a storm griffon's nest on the Huangshan Welcome Pine on a cliff a few hundred steps away.
From here, the griffon's lair was empty, and the owner should have gone out to forage for food and had not returned.
Fang Jin's heart moved, and he asked Xue Feifei to hide here, and he slipped over quickly.
As he approached, he safely activated the Shadow Ring, causing his figure to disappear into thin air.
Soon, the first nest appeared in front of him.
Because it was standing on top of the cliff, there was an abyss of the sea of clouds that was 17,800 meters high below, and there was a whistling mountain wind blowing, looking down, even if Fang Jin had no fear of heights, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs.
However, since the Storm Gryphon has built its nest here, it proves that the carrying capacity of the welcoming pine below is absolutely fine.
After settling down, Fang Jin first looked up at the air around him, and found that there was no trace of a griffin nearby, so he immediately jumped lightly and jumped onto the wide lair.
Although there is a slight strange smell, in general, the griffon's nest is quite dry and tidy.
There is stored food, mainly the flesh of various magical beasts, and some strange things that have been picked up as decorations, such as strange-shaped stones, and even transparent mineral water bottles, which make people laugh and cry.
But it's not all useless waste.
Fang Jin had heard it said in his previous life that more than one person found priceless ores, animal bones, and even equipment left behind by professionals in the griffin's lair!
Obviously, although they are not dragons and do not have a penchant for collecting shiny and yellow items, they still have an instinctive attraction to items with strong magical energy.
It's just that those who can find something are lucky and lucky.
The griffon's lair that Fang Jin visited this time obviously belonged to the most rubbish Sanwu. That is, there are no valuables, and there are no griffin eggs and cubs to get their hands on - which is understandable. If there are cubs in the nest, it is naturally impossible for the griffon, as the owner, to fly out to play so casually. If you want to dive in, you have to be patient and take great risks.
After searching for a moment again, making sure that nothing was found, Fang Jin cautiously withdrew without leaving any suspicious traces.
After dodging the sneak attack of a wolf poisonous spider lurking next to him, Fang Jin recruited the earth element to lure it away, and left quietly by himself.
On this day, there is certainly more than one griffin lair. He plans to spend at least five days to a week hunting for his first flying mount!
