Chapter Forty-Nine: The Wild Land

Walking in the wilderness of the wilderness is a rather novel experience.

Since the time of the wilderness, this is the forbidden area of intelligent creatures, no one dares to easily go deep into the wilderness, even the free winged people, only in the case of a group, dare to fly over the wild land, the lone winged people would rather go around half the continent than pass through it directly, it can be seen how deep the danger of the wild land is in the hearts of the people.

It is only the dragons that have been rare for decades that are qualified to fly freely under this sky, or rather, in fact, the dragons are originally a kind of mythical creatures, and it is only because they have more perfect wisdom than other mythical creatures that they are classified into the realm of intelligent creatures. Dragons are the only race that can move freely between the civilized world and the Savage Lands, and they prefer their neighbors in the Savages to their small, fragile sapient creatures, their playground and food grounds, where they have spent millions of years, and who knows what the future holds.

No one can come up with exact data on the size of the Wild Lands, but we can only estimate that there are about 20 million square kilometers, accounting for three to a quarter of the land area of the entire Pavatiga world.

This vast expanse of land is beautiful and well-fed, and although it is often affected by the three major calamities, it is generally very habitable, even more habitable than some of the barren areas of the civilized world, such as the Western Wilderness. The beast tribes that live here live happily, with abundant food and abundant water, and are rarely plagued by hunger, whether they are herbivores or carnivores. It is no wonder that when the gods and mythical creatures reached a consensus, the mythical creatures who did not know how to worship the gods were willing to accept the request to retreat to the wilderness, and with this habitable environment as a residence, there was no need for mythical creatures to go to the half of the civilized world to compete with intelligent creatures for living space.

It's a pity that no matter how good the environment is, the intelligent creatures are not envious at all, because the predators here are too terrifying, with an average legendary level, and their strength is quite amazing. Therefore, every explorer will be cautious after going deep into the wilderness, and will not even dare to sleep soundly when resting, even if there are guards, lest something happen in his sleep. No one wants to wake up and see a few legendary or even demigod predators, wearing napkins around them and preparing a meal, it would be really deadly.

Even when they are sober, they don't want to see any kind of predator, if they are only strong, forget it, the civilized world is not without legends and demigod level predators, the problem is that they are not only strong, but at least a small half of them are mythical creatures, which is very tangled, huge body, tenacious **, generally half a level higher than the surface level of strength, want to survive from their hunting, three points rely on strength, the remaining ninety-seven points, all depends on luck.

Therefore, all teams that go deep into the wilderness will choose to hide themselves as much as possible, not to be discovered by predators, is the best way to protect themselves here, it can be said that every team that goes deep into the wilderness and successfully escaped, among them have one or several experts who hide their whereabouts, and some people even summed up a set of skills for self-hiding in the wilderness, which has many entries, and often changes, but the first one will never change, that is, to act in the wilderness, must not walk on the ground in a grand manner, otherwise within a few days, will definitely encounter a fatal attack by predators。

But the four of them can proudly say that we have successfully broken this rule, there is no need to be as cautious as you say, even if we walk in the wilderness openly, no predator dares to attack us, and not only that, any predator must flee as fast as possible when he sees us, and he does not dare to approach us within a hundred meters.

True, because not only were they accompanied by one of the most apex predators, the Thunderstorm Beasts, but they were now riding on the Thunderstorm Beasts.

In fact, even a being as powerful as the Thunderstorm Beast would not dare to let the four guests move on its own, and although its presence was enough to scare off all the large predators, the problem was that the small predators in the Savage Lands were just as dangerous, and after millions of years of peaceful life, those small creatures were not too afraid of the Thunderstorm Beasts.

The ground is a dense weed more than a meter high, I don't know how many small creatures are hidden in it, these little beasts are not interested in humanoids that are much larger than them, but when they are frightened, they often burst out and hurt people, their attacks are meaningless to thunderstorm beasts, even the epidermis cannot break through, they cannot cause substantial damage at all, but for Shuer, it is very troublesome, if they are suddenly attacked, thunderstorm beasts may not have time to rescue, they have already been eaten.

In order to prevent the guests from reaching their destination in the form of parts, the Thunderstorm had to let a group of four people stand on top of them and carry them through the two-kilometer distance. As soon as he came out of the woods, the thunderstorm beast roared softly, and with a roar, he took a big stride and walked in the direction that Mia had pointed before, not too fast, just the speed of a normal walk, but it was still much faster than moving forward on its own in vigilance.

The thunderstorm beast is more than seven meters long, relying on two hind legs to move, when walking, the body leans forward and the tail is straight, the back is almost horizontal, the four people stand behind it, the rough skin surface is uneven, although it looks beautiful, but when stepping on it, the feet are very firm, even if it is slightly bumpy in walking, it will not slip from behind. As a result, the journey became quite leisurely, and the four of them not only did not have to hide in danger carefully, but even had room to look around and admire the beautiful and strange wild places.

As far as the eye can see, the wild land is full of life, which is completely different from the terrifying Jedi in the imagination, perhaps because of the appearance of the thunderstorm beast, there are no large creatures within a hundred meters, but far away, you can also see the back of many large monsters in the distance, with different postures and many types, you can imagine how vibrant it is here when the thunderstorm beast does not appear.

And farther away, dozens of mountain-like black shadows were not affected by the thunderstorm beasts, they were still pacing leisurely, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were like mountains, these giant beasts were far larger than the thunderstorm beasts, they were more than twenty meters tall, like a thick mountain of meat, such a body shape, a body like a human might be torn apart if it was touched, even the most powerful thunderstorm beasts would not treat them as prey unless they had to, after all, there was no need to take such a risk if the food in the wilderness was abundant enough.

The ground is full of life, and the sky is not lonely, more than a dozen strange birds hovering in the air, always following above the thunderstorm beast, it seems to be very curious about the little things behind it, a few times, several of them even lowered their height, as if they wanted to see the appearance of these small creatures clearly, although the body with wings spread for more than twenty meters put considerable pressure on the four of them, but lowering the height also allowed the four of them to see their appearance clearly.

Similar creatures, which Shure had seen with his own eyes, and who he had even experienced in battle with on the distant New Brown Star, were the strange birds that besieged the steel ship with their flesh and blood, bat-like membranous wings, nimble and sharp forelimbs, strong hind claws, and a long, pointed beak that was still remembered as half a toothed sword. It was hard for Shul to forget these irascible and ferocious flying creatures, so the similarities were immediately apparent, and although there were many differences, they did not affect the overlapping of their images.

The strange birds let out a rattling and shrill scream, further reducing their altitude, and quite wanted to swoop down and take away the four tasty-looking food, after all, they were flying creatures, even the overlord thunderstorm beasts on land, they dared to watch, and they looked like they had the ability to come up and fight us.

So they were beaten.

A large fireball that had been brewing for a long time rose into the sky, and the compressed flames with a diameter close to the length of the wings of the strange birds smashed towards the strange birds head-on with a high temperature of nearly 1,000 degrees, and the prey they chose was not a docile herbivore, if you underestimated them, even if it was a mythical creature, it would be life-threatening.

The condensed flames stretched and danced happily, leaving a scorching and scorching stench in the air wherever they passed, and the strange birds were startled, screaming and fleeing in all directions, barely giving way to the path of the fireball, and a few of the slow runners were grazed by the fireball, leaving burns of varying degrees on their bodies, and they screamed and rose in height, not daring to approach easily anymore.

They were lucky, because those of their kind who were not injured and raised in height were more dangerous than their situation, perhaps it was their noisy cries that annoyed the thunderstorm beasts, the giant beast suddenly twisted its neck, and spewed out an invisible energy bomb from its mouth, the speed of the energy bomb was much faster than the fireball, and the power was much greater, and a strange bird that could not dodge was hit head-on by the energy bomb, and was directly blown apart, blood splashed on the path of the giant beast, and the stumps and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

The rest of the strange birds finally got scared and quickly rose up to accompany their injured kind, but they didn't expect that this was the beginning of real misfortune.

A few black shadows appeared from the distant horizon, at first there were only a few faint small black dots, but within a few seconds, the black dots expanded into black shadows, which showed how fast they were. The strange birds finally noticed the danger coming, and screamed to fly off into the distance, but now it was too late to run, and the moment they were targeted by those dark shadows, they were doomed to a sad fate.

"Whew", in the blink of an eye, a black shadow appeared in front of him from the sky, even at a height of 100 meters, it still set off a huge wind pressure, blowing the four passengers swaying, and had to bend down to barely stand firm. Several dark shadows ignored the passengers below, and each chose a strange bird that was slow to escape and opened its mouth, and with a few screams, the strange birds stopped struggling and turned from hunters to prey.

With a successful blow, the black shadows turned their heads and left, not stopping at all, only the only black shadow that did not participate in the hunt circled in the air a few times, letting out a loud dragon groan.

The dragon descends.
