Chapter Seventy-Five: Pterodactyl
It was still an empty layer, which made Maffeo a little puzzled, he did hear the roar from the upper layer just now, but after coming to the third layer, he didn't find any creatures. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Did I hear me wrong......" Maffeo rubbed his ears.
But at this moment, the faintly audible roar came from the upper floors again. "There's nothing wrong with that, there's got to be something on it. But...... "Maffeo confirmed that he was not hallucinating, but doubts remained in his mind.
A flock of birds flying outside the tower not far away gave Maffeo some hints, and he came to the edge of the tower, and it was at this time that he found that there was no obstruction at the edge of the city in the sky, which means that if there is any emergency in the tower, he can jump directly from the edge, of course, whether he will fall to pieces depends on his luck.
In this way, a plausible solution can be drawn to the roaring sound of the upper floors, because in a building of this construction, the sound insulation effect can be said to be non-existent. "That is, probably on a higher floor. Maffeo muttered to himself.
Even though you only reach the third floor inside the tower, when you look down from the edge, you can see that the actual height is much higher than you think. Maffeo looked down at the forest below, and couldn't help but feel that this city in the sky might be even more magnificent than he had imagined. He followed the edge to the other side of the tower, from which he could clearly see the sea, the other half of the tower was on the beach, and if the starting distance was enough, it might be possible to jump directly from the tower into the sea.
The sun shone on the sea, and the glowing surface of the sea was like a pirate's treasure, a sight that was rare for Maffeo, and he thought that if the reasons were left aside, the castle in the sky might become a good sightseeing spot.
The white stone pillar on the side suddenly showed an elongated black shadow under the refraction of the sunlight, and Maffeo, who noticed the black shadow, immediately poked his head out and looked up, and a pair of flapping wings came into his eyes, but then it disappeared from Maffeo's sight. "That's... Dragons?" said Maffeo to himself, but he shook his head again, "Maybe it's just some kind of flying creature." ā
If, according to what he had just seen, Maffeo could be sure that the wings were protruding from the edge of the tenth floor, with a clear goal, the next action would be easy, and Maffeo walked up the suspended staircase on this side to the upper floor.
Climbing the stairs was a physical task anyway, and when he reached the ninth floor, Maffeo had to stop and rest for a while. In order to prepare a little for the tenth floor he was about to reach, he took out the kettle and began to drink water. Here, the roars of the creatures on the tenth floor can already be heard clearly, and I have to say that although I have encountered many different creatures in the Gran Forest, this is the first time I have heard the roar of this creature.
Maffeo glanced at the structure of this level, most of the place was still the same as before, except that there were some floating white chests on this level, they seemed to have magical power, in fact, when Maffeo approached the box, he did feel the magic emanating from the box like substance.
When the chests were shattered by Maffeo, the spinels inside also fell to the ground, and Maffeo put the gems in his pocket, which might sell for a good price.
The sound of running water from the fountain made Maffeo want to go over and see it, and although he didn't know where the water came from, it didn't prevent him from touching the seemingly pure water. "Maybe it tastes good?" said Maffeo as he boldly took a handful of water from his hand and poured it into his mouth, as he thought, the water here was very sweet, much better than the water he had just filled in his kettle.
"Well, that's a nice place. As he spoke, Maffeo took out several empty potion bottles from his body, which he filled one by one with the spring water here. "I hope they think the same way I do. ā
When Maffeo put away the potion bottle full of spring water, he suddenly found that the fatigue he had felt along the way disappeared invisibly after drinking the spring water, which he did not expect, and it seemed that the spring water here might have many good effects.
Now that his strength had regained, Maffeo was not ready to waste any more time, he wanted to see what kind of creatures existed in this city in the sky. However, there was still a strange thing that caught his attention, as mentioned earlier that there were different stairs that led to the upper floor, and in front of a certain staircase, Maffeo found a magic circle carved into the ground. Maffeo crouched down and tried to read the meaning of the inscriptions on the magic circle, but it was clear that this was impossible. The circle of magic was silent, as if it had no magic at all and was merely carved into the ground.
Although this magic circle did not affect Maffeo in any way, he still kept this existence in his heart, and perhaps asking Mirna when he returned would give him an answer. With this in mind, he stepped on the staircase to the tenth floor.
The first thing that caught his eye was a brown statue of a dragon head, which was also exquisitely made, but the red light from the statue's eyes alerted Maffeo, who also held his right hand on the hilt of his sword.
Once his feet were fully on the ground on the tenth floor, Maffeo began to scan the environment on this level. Not far away, a group of flying creatures were moving rapidly in this direction, and there was no doubt that these creatures were the owners of the roar.
Maffeo drew his greatsword and carefully moved his body, watching intently as the flying creatures moved next. They didn't seem to think about stopping, and when they were only about ten meters away from Maffeo, Maffeo could see the flying creatures. It was a group of white and blue pterosaurs, their skins covered in scales, a pair of sharp horns on their heads that could easily pierce through human bodies, and a pair of wings with sharp spikes.
It was clear that these pterosaurs had no good intentions, and they wanted to wipe Maffeo from the world as if they were invaders, who hurried to avoid their onslaught. If he could, Maffeo would love to sit down with the pterodactyls and have a good conversation, but they didn't plan to do so.
Maffeo relied on the cover of the fountain to temporarily distance himself from the pterodactyls, but they would not let this stop them from attacking. As if given a command, the pterodactyls of different colors flew from the left and right like Maffeo. They fearlessly smashed the brown dragon head statue in their path, only to kill the invader in front of them.
