Chapter 599: Interspersed
The wolf-eater is a sub-dragon species with a very thin dragon blood in its body.
Although thin, they have already been given great strength and growth at birth.
However, it is also because they only have extremely thin bloodlines, so they do not have the appearance of half a dragon.
Well, not all, at least they have four claws, which is not what normal birds have.
The average wolf-eating bird, when standing normally, is nearly two meters tall from the top of its head to the ground, the length of its head and tail is more than three meters, and the length of its head and tail is more than five meters, and its wings are fully spread and more than five meters, with a bald tail and a bald head, with a beak as soft as a rubber needle, and the tip of the beak is a spike as hard as a needle.
Wolf-eating birds don't really feed only on wolves, in fact, they feed on the brain, the brain of any living thing, but their favorite is the wolf brain, if several creatures are in front of them at the same time, no matter what other creatures are, but as long as there is a wolf, they will definitely take the wolf as a target for the first time.
This is where the name wolf-eater comes from.
The spikes pierce the skull and penetrate deep into the brain. The brain is then sucked through a beak like a rubber needle.
Langdon had always believed that the game's designers had seen the Galactic Sentai movie, because the wolfeater's beak was very similar to the mouth of the brain worm in the movie......
I don't know if it's because of the dragon's blood in the body, or because they have sucked too much brain, which makes the wolf-eating birds' intelligence much higher than that of ordinary creatures, which allows them to successfully stand at the top of the food chain.
But it is also because of this that they have some characteristics that other lives have in general, such as living in groups.
A law of nature, the larger the creature, the more unsociable, such as lions and tigers, there are basically a dozen at most in a group, and the wolf-eating birds that are even bigger than them are social creatures, which are very similar to their favorite food - wolves!
And that's one of the reasons why they're so strong.
Led by a wolf scout, the troops soon reached the vicinity of the wolf-eating bird colony's nest.
In this regard, wolf-eating birds still retain their bird habits, and do not randomly choose some burrows as nests, but make their own nests.
On a mountain wall that is not high, about more than ten meters, there are more than 80 semicircular nests densely hung.
According to the habit of wolf-eating birds, a nest is a family of wolf-eating birds, one male and one wolf-eater, plus two to four juvenile birds.
In other words, it is roughly estimated that this group of wolf-eating birds has a population of 300 to 500 individuals.
It is no wonder that with the scale of the old wolf king's thousand-headed wolf, it is only possible to escape far away, and the powerful strength of the wolf-eating bird is enough to make up for this not a large number gap.
At this time, although there was also a squeaking and chaotic cry on the mountain wall, it was obvious that it was all made by small birds, and the big birds seemed to have left the nest.
"Foraging time?" Alfred muttered to himself.
At this moment, the sound of wings flapping quickly approached from a distance, and then, an adult wolf-eating bird rushed out of the dense forest.
This is a female wolf-eating bird, as illustrated by the coloured rather than black-and-white tail feathers.
Its sharp claws grasped its prey, which Alfred knew very well—it was the wolf scout who had brought them here not long ago, and then burrowed into the dense forest again to reconnoitre, but he did not expect that it had become food for wolf-eating birds in just a few moments.
The wolf-eating bird uses the brain as its staple food, but it is not completely devoid of other foods, just like this wolf, the brain has been broken, and the contents of it have been sucked up, but it is still brought back to give the birds meat.
Unlike humans, the animal kingdom is not particular about leaving the best food for children.
It is their nature to give the best to the strongest, to be stronger, to catch more and better food, this is their nature.
The female wolf-eating bird left the wolf carcass in a nest and did not stay, but continued to flutter her wings and fly away.
Alfred observed the surrounding terrain and said, "The wolf-eater is very powerful, and if it fights head-on, there will inevitably be casualties, so we ...... it."
The troops dispersed quickly under Alfred's orders, and about ten minutes later, a shrill cry pierced the sky from the wolf-eating bird's nest.
The cubs of the wolf-eating birds are restless, and the nest is almost quiet except when the wolf-eaters are resting, but the voices of the little birds are limited after all, and the noise cannot be heard far away, and it almost tears their throats and roars like this, which only represents a situation - they are in distress!
The cries for help came out one after another, and the wolf-eating birds that were hunting in various places began to rush back when they heard the sound.
Just as they were about to reach the lair, a rain of arrows suddenly shot out from the dense forest below, shooting at them!
Caught off guard, several wolf-eating birds immediately fell down with arrows stuck in their bodies.
The rest of the wolfeaters immediately changed direction and swooped downward.
The wolf-eating bird has many means of attack, four sharp claws, a tail like a steel whip, sharp wings, and when necessary, the soft-looking beak can also become an indestructible steel spear!
The enemy below is cunning, and after firing the second round of bows and arrows, they do not stop at all, and run away with their bows.
The wolf-eaters that have gathered into a flock chase after them, and their wings glide at low altitudes, outpacing their enemies!
Seeing that they were catching up, the terrifying sound of breaking the wind suddenly came from both sides, and the next moment, hundreds of spears pierced through the dense forest and appeared in front of them!
In an instant, countless wolf-eaters were pierced and fell to the ground, and more wolf-eaters were hit by their companions and could not keep flying, and could only barely land.
Air battles turn into land battles in an instant!
The situation on the field also became chaotic in an instant!
In the midst of this confusion, accompanied by dense but slight footsteps, a large number of cavalry rushed out of the dense forest on both sides.
The terrain of the forest was not suitable for cavalry warfare, and only the Goblin Knights and the thirty or so Gura Knights came this time.
With them, that's enough!
Under the continuous attack, the wolf-eating bird couldn't maintain any formation at all, and was smashed straight into it by the cavalry troops!
As soon as they reacted and prepared to counterattack, the cavalry unit had already passed through and disappeared into the dense forest on the other side.
The wolfeaters wanted to pursue, but at this moment, the enemy they had been chasing with a bow and arrow turned around and attacked again!
Seeing that this army was easily penetrated again, just as they were about to escape into the dense forest, two troops had already appeared in the surrounding dense forest again, charging into battle again!
The team of adult wolf-eaters was thus divided into many teams of enemies, constantly interspersed with chiseling and attacking.
With each breakdown, they become more dizzy, and at the same time, their number decreases a little.
And so on until it is completely destroyed!
