Chapter 451: The Battle of Baisha (Part II)
In fact, what Cheese did was far more complicated than he explained verbally. Air is not solid, but a fluid like water, and it is even more difficult to observe the flow of air because it is colorless. Just as the liquid in the water will flow to different levels due to its depth, the atmosphere that seems to be a single piece of air actually contains a complex and diverse air current.
Trying to accurately grasp these currents and use the wind generated by the magic to create the right direction of the flow sounds like a complicated task. However, cheese was not too laborious to make, thanks to his friend with scales and wings, and the creatures that flew in the air knew how to navigate the colorless sea.
Dealing with the enemy in the air doesn't mean the threat is gone. The ground trembled beneath his feet, not because of the magic of the gray robe, but because something was churning under the sand. This was not surprising, as Cheese had already noticed the size of the thing when he saw it, and the part that was now exposed to the ground was probably only half the size of the heir's total size, or even less.
Just like an ancient tree, being able to stretch those filter-feeding tentacles that far shows that the root system of this thing is unusually developed. It sounds like a desperate thing, but there may be a key to success behind it. However, it is imperative to get closer to each other.
"Woo!" Probably not expecting Cheese to dispose of the airborne troops he sent out so easily, the monster's mouth let out a slightly different roar.
However, unlike the two clones that were enshrined in Riverrun, the monster on the sandbar had a clearer purpose from the beginning, and it was the one that existed as the main body, so it was the most evolved one. Seeing that one move didn't work, it immediately used the next one.
With a large amount of inhalation and a slight explosion, green smoke erupted from the middle and lower parts of the monster's body. Emerging from the smoke were bow-like flying objects. It seems that he intends to directly knock out the intruder.
Cheese narrowed his eyes when he saw this, this attack method is very different from that of natural creatures, at least most creatures don't use such a rough way to fire arrows, it is too damaging to their own bodies. However, there are naturally unnatural ways to deal with unnatural attacks.
In those legends, heroes and kings rarely died in the chaos of arrows on the battlefield, and legend has it that they had some kind of protection on their bodies that could deflect arrows and make them impossible to hit. Completely deflecting the arrow is not impossible for the caster, but it involves a very complex internal entanglement, which is quite complicated to deal with. Therefore, there are better ways to deal with it than the so-called avoiding arrows.
Iron sand, to be precise, is magnet sand. It was originally intended to be used against the Iron Arrow, but now it had to be improvised and crushed and mixed together the tissues that had been obtained from the deactivated tentacles.
It's slow to say, but it's a split second between the time the arrow is fired and the cheese throws the mixed iron sand out. The iron sand was cast like a magnet and slammed into the oncoming bone arrows!
Dragons rarely fly at full speed in the air, and if they do, they climb to quite high heights. On the one hand, there is nothing to worry about in them, and on the other hand, because any dragon with such experience will experience the pain of a crossbow arrow hitting the body, that is, the experience of hitting a bird at high speed.
Of course, neither the crossbow arrows nor the birds have the possibility of penetrating the dragon scales, and what they can bring is the impact that is transmitted to the muscle tissue below the scales. It is said that a dragon once fell from the sky because of the news that the flight crashed into a flock of birds, and finally the muscle spasms of the body. That's what Migo told to Cheese as a joke.
speed, which triggers change. Cheese didn't know what this was about, but what he did know was that when two objects collided at the same or even faster speed, even if one of them was inferior to the other at rest, the result of the collision would not be unaffected. After that, he came up with the idea of using iron sand to block the arrows.
It's just that the arrows he encountered along the way are not suitable for him to use this method to fight, whether it is the steppe people's miraculous riding and archery skills, or the deadly sniping that comes and goes in the dark alleys, the physical reaction speed of the caster can't keep up. It was only now, with the protection of distance, that he was finally able to proceed as planned.
"Puff, puff" The sound of iron sand hitting the bone spurs is different from the sound of gold and iron, saying that it is iron sand, and the sand thrown by the cheese is all leftovers from the dwarf's workshop, and the particles in it are of different sizes, and some of them are actually quite weighty. After such a round of sand throwing, a considerable number of bone spurs were knocked out of the air or deflected.
In this way, if the target is a real iron arrow, the effect may be better. But now is not the time to learn the lesson, and some bone spurs are still flying in the direction of the two. Forget it, since the new method doesn't work, let's use the old way.
"Go. Cheese said, and one turned around and took off the gray robe on his body, twisted it with his backhand, and threw it in front of him. It's just that this method can't cover too much of an area, and in order to prevent Wei Ya from being injured, the gray robe had to reach out and pull the female mage to his side. It's just that Wei Ya's footsteps were unstable, and she was pulled like this and directly hit Cheese's arms.
But before the two of them could react, they heard a crackling sound outside the gray robe, and when the sound disappeared, there were many more bloodshot bone spikes on the ground. There is nothing to say, everything happens as a result of conforming to reason. Cheese put the gray robe back on, and Wei Ya picked up a bone spur and looked at it.
"These bones are fragile, so they should have just been produced. With a slight snap of her fingernail, she scratched a small piece of the surface of the bone spur, revealing the honeycomb-like interior that supported each other.
It really doesn't look like the bones of fully developed creatures, but more like new, newborn bones like babies or lambs. And this means that the monster did not always have this defensive ability, and it generated these ammunition in this short period of time.
Cheese nodded, the cavity of the jet is estimated to have been there early in the morning, and the bone spur, which is used as ammunition, is in a relatively primitive stage because of the first launch.
This is an opportunity, no matter how good the bow is, it can't kill people if it shoots out delicate green shoots. While the monsters have not yet mastered the best structure of ammunition, they can approach each other with relative ease. Thinking so, Cheese had a plan, "Your sand shield, can you follow us?"
Wei Ya was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "Yes, but the sand here can't be used as a medium for spells." And to keep moving, the quality of the sand shield will not be too good. ”
"It doesn't matter, it's best to use a shield with nothing to show for these arrows. As for the spellcasting materials, I'll help you. ”
This time, Cheese brought out two more things, a bundle of velvet thread and a small jar of honey.
The velvet thread he asked for from the old woman in the tapestry shop, and the honey was always on his body as a medium of medicine. The grey robe poured honey onto the velvet thread, then pulled out one end of the velvet thread, tied a stone to it, and threw it into the distance!
Now the mage understood what he meant, and she took the spindle around the velvet, touching as much sand as possible with it. The viscous honey becomes the glue that adheres the sand grains to the velvet thread, and Wei Ya uses it as a medium to build a new sand shield. The threads overlapped each other in the air as if they were alive in her hands, quickly forming a diamond-shaped shield in front of the two of them.
At this time, the second round of bone spurs struck, hitting the newly constructed sand shield, and the fragile arrows were bounced off after hitting the shield surface composed of white sand, unable to hurt the two people behind them in the slightest.
