Chapter 898, Assembly Number
The griffon flying directly above them was the strongest-looking of the four. Unlike bats, these griffons have separate limbs, and their forelimbs are significantly different from their lower limbs, making them look thinner and more flexible. As for the lower limbs, they are not the shape of bird claws as Xiao Yan imagined, and they also have obvious tarsal joints, which are called anti-joints. To be precise, such lower limbs are more like those of canines. The huge periosteum exists independently of the limbs, and is clearly different from other flying creatures, so that the griffin has six limbs on its body, rather than the limbs most popular among other lifeforms.
Probably the only thing that allowed these griffons to connect with the lions was their tails, six lion-like tails that swayed in the air and looked like they were supposed to be able to maintain their bearings.
Frankly speaking, in Xiao Yan's opinion, it is not enough to control 6 tails and two periosteal wings at the same time, as well as normal limbs, just a brain. A large amount of information can be processed by one brain, and perhaps three heads are the best choice for griffons. It's like Hannibal. However, if the philosophical dog looks like this, Xiao Yan will definitely kick it away with one kick, and the descendants of the masters of the World Realm will look like this, which is definitely an insult to Xiao Yan's feeding level.
The griffin on the top of Xiao Yan's head has a fluffy face, and the whole hair looks like a lion's head. The flat bridge of the nose and the split lips form a human-like, but distinctly distinct, appearance trait. The eyes are long and sunken. Between the two is obscured by the bridge of the nose. This, in turn, gives the face a raw feel. That's what those Australopithecus, including Neanderthals, should have been.
On the face of this very strong-looking fellow, there was a scar that crossed his eyes, and this scar looked terrible, maybe a little deeper, and it would have gouged out its eyeballs.
In addition to this, the hair on the head of this griffin is also very distinctive, when it is a little closer. Xiao Yan realized that the griffin's long tan hair had been carefully braided into hundreds or even more braids. These braids shine differently in the light of the setting sun, and it seems that different colors of silk threads or gemstones are woven into the braids, giving this strange face a special feeling.
Of course, maybe this feeling represents beauty for this griffin, but for Xiao Yan, he always feels that what he sees is a colorful sunflower. Not only is there no beauty to talk about, but the original sense of coercion is completely destroyed by these nondescript braids.
The griffon's voice was very low, and Xiao Yan had a feeling. This lowness is a deliberate effort on the part of the griffon, as if it wants to create a very majestic posture through this method. But. Its well-groomed braids undermined the majesty of its exterior and the majesty of its deep voice.
In fact, Leah liked the griffin's braids so much that she reached out to touch the griffin dozens of yards above Xiao Yan's head. The braids made the little girl make an ah-ah sound, which made Leah feel very dissatisfied because she couldn't reach the griffin, and she smacked Xiao Yan's head hard, signaling for the young awakened to jump up, allowing her to have a close contact with those magnificent braids.
To the griffon's question, Lehman hastened to answer, saying, "Yes, dear Mr. Griffon, we are not here because of the Emperor. As you know, we have complied with the requirements of your city-states to come to participate in the selection. ”
The strong griffin seemed a little surprised, and it looked down at Rayman, and said, "Oh, you can't, you're too thin, even if you become a slave, you won't do me any good." ”
Lehman pointed at Xiao Yan and said, "It's not me, sir, it's this lord next to me, he needs a few griffin mounts." ”
In fact, the griffon's attention had been focused on Xiao Yan, and although the young man with a child on his back had not spoken, he had not made any dangerous moves, he just stood there quietly. But even so, the griffon could still feel the momentum emanating from the young man. It was an indescribable, but tangible, feeling, as if the young man would miss something if he neglected it.
Because of this feeling, the griffin did not despise Xiao Yan as much as he did for Lehman, and after looking at Xiao Yan again for a while, he said, "Human nobles, what are you going to exchange for our griffin." ”
It's not a challenge, it's an exchange, and it's obvious that this griffin values Xiao Yan more, and can sense Xiao Yan's true strength. However, when the griffon's gaze shifted to Sylvia, it became a little different, an undisguised sense of disgust. Xiao Yan didn't know where this hatred came from, it was more like a racial nature, this kind of griffin had an irrevocable aversion to vampires racially.
"I take back what I just said, if you want to get a griffon, you will have to go through a more rigorous test."
The griffin suddenly said, "You will have to face your opponent alone, and if you agree, then make a commitment that is in accordance with the norm." ”
Xiao Yan pointed to the two children and asked, "Are they also counted?" ”
The giant griffin glanced at the two children again, as if surprised, and then, it also seemed to be able to see the greedy and cowering rat people thousands of yards behind Xiao Yan. This made it seem to realize something, and then the griffin said, "Yes, if they want to ride a griffon, they have to defeat the griffon." If they can't defeat the griffin, they'll become the griffon's slaves. I don't know what role they can do for the griffon city-state, though. ”
Xiao Yan asked again, "Can I take their place in the battle?" I mean, I'm going to defeat those griffons for them? ”
The griffon, flying high above, responded, "Of course, only once." ”
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of the griffin, and Lehman, who was beside him, gave an answer for the griffin: "You only have one chance to fight for the others, if you want to help these two young ladies get the griffin, then, you need to face the siege of 3 griffons at the same time." And so on, sir, you won't have two chances to get a griffon for a different person. ”
Xiao Yan nodded, turned his head to look at Sylvia, and then asked, "Can you solve your opponent one-on-one?" ”
Sylvia shrugged her shoulders, and Quister drew a cross on her chest and replied, "Of course, for nothing." ”
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll deal with 4 griffins, it's a little difficult, but I can try." ”
The first thing that was strange was not Sylvia, but Lehman, who asked in surprise, "4?" Master, did you miscalculate, fighting for two children, you only need to deal with 3 griffins. ”
Xiao Yan was also surprised and asked, "You're not human?" ”
Lehman was stunned for a moment, was silent for a moment, then pointed to himself and asked, "You mean that even the griffin I ride in is in charge of you?" ”
The young awakened person asked very strangely: "Why not?" I made a promise to you to take you out of here, and you want me to reverse my promise? If my promise can be overturned so easily, then how can I gain the trust of others? ”
Lehman was quiet again for a moment before he said, "I have never met a noble lord like you, yes, I have never met a nobleman. ”
"It's not too late to meet you, not to mention, we still have opportunistic methods."
Xiao Yanhun didn't care about the griffins above his head, and said with a smile: "According to their rules, there is no need for me to challenge the griffons with higher ranks, these griffins can be completely handed over to my companions to deal with." In order, I only need to challenge the griffons in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th place. In contrast, the difficulty is much lower. Of course, if we could have more companions, I would have encountered much less difficulty. Isn't it? ”
Lehman glanced up at the griffin above his head with some doubt, to his surprise, the griffin above his head was not angry at Xiao Yan's idea, but seemed to feel relieved.
Sensing that Lehman was looking at himself, the griffon responded, "It's not a bad thing to take advantage of the rules, rather than being taken advantage of. We make this rule, and as long as we don't break it, then we can accept it. ”
At this moment, on the northwest side of the mountain, there was a sudden loud sound of horns. The voice sounded like it was calling out to something, and when it heard the sound of the horn, the griffin above Xiao Yan's head turned its head to look over there, and said casually, "I'm sorry, you may have to wait a bit, we have some minor trouble over there." ”
Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders and was about to speak, when Noel, who was beside him, suddenly tugged at his sleeve slightly. The Young Awakened turned his head, and the little girl motioned for him to lower his body, and then asked in Xiao Yan's ear, "How many companions do you have?" ”
Xiao Yan thought for a while and said, "How many more, what?" ”
Noreel pointed to the place where the horn sounded and said, "There's your taste there, too, the same taste." ”
Xiao Yan was stunned, he didn't know if Nolel really had such a good sense of smell, but Nolel didn't need to deceive him, but it was true. Thinking of this, Xiao Yan hurriedly said to the griffin who was about to leave: "Please wait a moment, you see, I have some companions who are not next to me, maybe you have to face one of my companions." ”
"One of your companions? Including dogs? (To be continued......)
