Chapter 318: The Battle at the Foot of the Mountain (10)
Just as the shape of the two lines of defense slowed down, and many mountain people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, someone from the mountain path of the Sage's Peak behind them let out an exclamation, and then a burst of shouts and angry curses rang out one after another.
Suddenly, a dark shadow rose from the ground in the mountain path, and when it came to the air and spread its wings and circled, it realized that it was a large bird creature, and in its thick claws was grasping an old mountain dweller.
The strength of the giant bird was great, and its claws sank deep into the mountaineer's waist, and from Leon's position, it could be clearly seen that the mountaineer's clothes had begun to seep out with dark marks, and his screams were heard in everyone's ears.
"It's a fierce peng!" some of the mountain people immediately shouted.
Leon had heard of this creature from Bonda, and it seemed that it had only appeared in the Wolf's Kiss Forest after a sudden increase in the number of wolves, and although it was not proportional to the number of wolves, it also caused a lot of trouble for the mountain people as many other mutated creatures that were also rampant.
"Shoot it down!" shouted some of the mountain people, and then a group of archers quickly approached the mountain path and fired their bows into the air.
They didn't scruple about the clansmen under the claws of the fierce peng, because in their experience, this young man would definitely not survive, but even death would not allow the fierce peng to take the corpses of the clansmen far away to eat.
However, the fierce peng is very cunning, its hovering distance is just outside the range of the mountain people, and the long arrow loses all its strength when it is still a few meters away from the fierce peng, and falls softly.
One of the mountain people who was fighting beside Leon plucked up his courage and said to the young lord, "My lord, can you let that elven archer ......?"
When he said this, Leon understood.
It seems that Dan's archery skills have left an indelible impression on the mountain people, and when they are helpless in the face of the fierce peng, they immediately think of this elven ranger.
"Dan, are you okay?" asked Leon as he turned his head.
"It's not a big problem," the Elven Ranger understood his intentions, glanced at the fierce Peng who had not yet left in mid-air, and replied nonchalantly.
At Leon's signal, Dan withdrew from the defensive line and headed straight for the entrance of the mountain road.
A moment later, when the fierce peng circled back again, three long arrows suddenly appeared in the air and shot towards it. This was obviously beyond the expectation of the fierce peng, and he immediately let go of the mountaineer who was caught by surprise, flapped his wings and flew upward, and his two claws blocked the long arrow at the same time.
Unfortunately, its reaction was a little slower, and its claws only blocked two of them, and the last long arrow flew towards its right wing, piercing directly into it. Fierce Peng immediately let out a chirp and staggered into the distance.
The boy fell on the edge of the mountain not far from the mountain road, and several mountain people immediately climbed out from the edge of the mountain road, trying to bring back the corpses of their clansmen.
However, as soon as they emerged from the outside of the mountain road, they immediately stopped, and in the sight of these people, the figures of fierce Peng were appearing from both sides of the mountain road one by one, and there were more and more of them.
This scene caused a small commotion among the crowd in the mountain road, no one knew that there would be so many fierce Pengs hidden on the Sage's Peak, these mountain people who had entered the mountain road thought they were safe, but they didn't expect to get out of the wolves and enter the tiger's den.
With a "bang", the fierce peng spread his wings and flew into the air, then turned back and swooped towards the crowd in the mountain road, most of these mountain people had no ability to fight, and they captured dozens of people in an instant, and the rest of them escaped this catastrophe by hiding behind the boulder.
The Fierce Peng group returned to mid-air, their number was nearly a hundred, and they gathered together like a small dark cloud surrounding the mid-air of the Sage's Peak, from time to time the plundered mountain people fell down from mid-air and turned into a pool of flesh and blood, while some of the fierce Peng were still going back and forth in the middle of the air on the mountain road, almost every time they could take away several mountain people.
The mountain people outside the mountain road let out an exclamation, and the young adults among them immediately separated from the crowd and rushed towards the mountain road, shouting as they ran, hoping to attract the attention of the fierce peng, so that they could divert their target and leave the old people and children.
At this point, the mountaineers' newly stabilized formation began to be a little chaotic again, and some of the archers scattered to the mountain pass, attacking as the fierce peng swooped down, hoping to disturb their movements, while the other part stayed in place and continued to support the second line of defense that was resisting the wolves.
At this time, the casualties of the mountain people on the second line of defense gradually increased, and the most important thing was that they were distracted, because the screams from behind them were simply one after another, especially the dull sound of the clansmen falling from mid-air was like a heavy hammer, which was constantly hammering their hearts.
The battle of the outermost three leaders was also affected, first of all, Morroth's movements were noticeably sluggish a few times, at the cost of new wounds on his body, while Yelena and Menshak had completely gained the upper hand, but allowed the demonized rotten wolf to escape with his life in a few key attacks.
If this continues, Moros will definitely lose first, and if he doesn't get it, he will have to worry about his life, but fortunately, Red has already rushed over, and when he arrives, he should be able to stabilize his position again.
“...... No," Li Ang thought secretly, "In this case, not only will the mountain people lose too much, but even the morale of the battle will be too severe!"
"Katarina," said Leon, "hold on for a moment, and I'll deal with those fierce pengs." ”
"Okay!" the knight girl immediately said, "It's okay on my side, you bring Melissa over!"
Truth be told, there are no more people to divide it up now, Red and Caterina have a heavy task, and even if they are allowed to go, they will not have a very good way to attack this agile flying creature, and Melissa, an assassin who is also known for his agility and speed, may play some key role.
Although Li Ang was a little worried about the defense on the side of the wolf pack, if the threat from the rear was not resolved, it would bring more serious problems, so he acquiesced to Katarina's Jianyì, looked at the assassin girl who was standing by his side for the first time, and turned around and rushed to the Sage's Peak Mountain Road.
The fierce peng was still swooping down, and even those young and middle-aged mountain people could not directly resist their powerful attack, so they could only take it to a less crowded place immediately after attracting the attention of a fierce peng, and then hide in a pre-found hiding spot to avoid the attack of the fierce peng. However, the bodies of these people were almost consumed in the battle just now, and the speed of running was not as agile as before, and many people were caught by the fierce Peng because they didn't have time to reach the predetermined location, and then dragged directly into the air.
A fierce peng descended again, spreading its wings with a total length of nearly five or six meters towards a mountain girl who was running with all her might, the wind pressure brought by its heavy body when it descended sharply hovered around the girl, making her speed even slower, and she saw that there were still more than ten meters away from a big rock The huge figure of the fierce peng had appeared behind her.
There was a hint of despair on the girl's face, but she still didn't look back, still desperately fighting against the impending fate, but her efforts didn't seem to work, and a pair of thick and hard claws were on her shoulders one moment later, and the next moment she could grab her thin body back to the sky.
The girl screamed, she knew that it was over, as long as she was caught in the sky, she would either be torn apart by the claws of the fierce peng, or she would fall to the ground and fall to her death.
At this moment, a young figure appeared in front of the girl, his expression was solemn, his eyes were unusually bright, and he shouted at the girl, "Bow your head!"
The girl was a little dazed, this seemed to be the young lord of Campbell, was he here to save himself?
She thought she was going to die, so she was a little distracted at the moment, but Leon's voice made her wake up, and she couldn't help but lower her head, and then she saw the other party's body appear in front of her.
"Hold me!" the voice came again.
The girl was stunned for half a second, then pounced on the other party's body, and clasped her hands behind the young man's back.
A pair of big hands reached over her head and grabbed the claws of the fierce peng, and then Li Ang roared angrily, "Come down for Lao Tzu!"
