Chapter 731: Cloud Ray

In order to facilitate the acquisition of more stone projectiles, the cloud ray is always suspended within 100 meters of the mountain peak where it lives.

Confrontation with the Wyverns.

Although it lacks intelligence, it has a biological survival instinct and can easily judge the situation.

There are too many flying dragon groups, and once they enter a full-scale air battle, it is easy to lose sight of one or the other and be eaten alive by the other party.

On the contrary, this kind of confrontation is relatively advantageous.

Its floating nature means that as long as it doesn't move, its consumption will be very low, and it can stay in this state for weeks.

Those wyverns can't do it, even if they keep hovering with the help of the wind, but as long as they are in the air, they will consume a lot of energy, and it won't be long before they are tired and hungry.

Cloud rays are not flying half as fast as dragons and pegases, but they can hunt them down in a war of attrition, chasing them day and night, so that they have no time to rest, hunt and eat, and wait until their speed slows down, and then swallow them.

They generally don't focus on these flying creatures unless they have to, and the herds on the ground are larger, easier to lock onto, and more likely to become tired.

Especially in those mountainous areas, flying can have more advantages than running on the ground, and it is easy to chase the prey into a desperate situation, and directly use the telepathic control ability to drag them into their mouths without even falling to the ground.

It was the trio of thieves who broke the deadlock in this air battle.

When it found that someone was approaching the Giant Peak, the cloud ray became obviously agitated, and from time to time let out a low roar, like a strange roar when the wind blew through the narrow mountain stream cave.

Seeing the abnormal reaction of the cloud ray, the thief trio became more excited, and climbed the giant's steps more energetically, which showed that they were right, the habitat where the cloud ray was located was just a lookout point for it, and the Giant's Peak was its real lair, and there was only one reason why it reacted so violently - the instinct of protecting the child as a mother.

"Damn, there's really a giant's palace here!"

"This palace must be at least twenty meters high, right? If I'm not mistaken, even the Cloud Giant and the Storm Giant are only super large, and they don't exceed ten meters tall, right? Who is this palace for? The legendary Titan? ”

"It must be the royal family of giants who are qualified to live in this kind of palace, and it is not impossible for the Titans to live."

"How do we get up?"

"Inside the palace, there must be a way to reach the top."

"It's true that there is a way to reach the top, but eighty percent of them will be blocked by stone gates that only giants can push open, we don't have that much time, and that cloud ray may go crazy at any time, leave those flying dragons alone, and run back to protect their eggs."

"With the simplest and most direct method, we can directly put the hook and rope to climb up, there are many platforms that can be used to borrow strength, and we each carried a bundle of ropes, which is enough for us to climb up in three sections."

"So what are you waiting for? Climb ......"

"Get out of the way, I'll come first, here it is, ha...... Once successful, today Lady Temorrah is on our side, and I have heard the crisp sound of countless gold coins...... Quick, quick, quick, Besca, you are the lightest, you go up first to cloth the second rope, Brino second, my palace behind. ”

"Okay, don't take the ropes when you come up, we'll have to follow them down later."

"I don't need you to say it, I know that a thief who doesn't leave a way out for himself is not a good thief."

After the trio of thieves climbed the last step of the Giant's Peak, they were directly stunned by the sight before them.

Standing in front of them was a palace built for fifteen or six-meter giants, at least twenty meters high, and in front of it there was a feeling of being as small as an ant.

The nest of the cloud ray is at the top of this giant's palace, because you can clearly see the various trees that crisscross it, and it is tightly covered with mud.

Don't you know that the cloud ray is a ready-made mud? Or like a bird, with its own saliva and mud.

But they are thieves, the kind with good professional qualities, how can they not have a rope to climb the wall? How can you not climb the wall?

That's their specialty.

After only two or three attempts, the rope was hung securely, and when the last person came up, the second and third sections of the rope were hung separately.

The most agile halfling thief took the lead, and soon his excited and sharp whisper was heard from above, "Get rich, get rich, haha...... One, two, three, four, five...... Five, there are five cloud ray eggs here, haha...... One million, this is a million gold coins, quick, quick, come up, the life-sustaining dimensional bag on my body is only enough for two ......"

The other two thieves could no longer hold back any longer, and rushed forward with agility, and when they saw the situation in front of them, they could not help laughing in ecstasy, they had taken the right gamble this time.

In the center of this nest-like nest of cloud rays, five eggs are placed in a circle, but their size is so amazing that even the tallest halflings and thieves are three points shorter than the tallest half-elf thieves standing in front of them, and they are covered with cloud-like patterns and spots.

Just by looking at it, you can associate it with a cloud ray.

By the time they had rushed over, the halfling thief had already climbed on top of a cloud ray egg, and it was unknown how he had done it, after all, the egg was slippery, more than twice as tall as he was.

He was slipping a pocket down the dome from above.

It's just strange that this pocket doesn't see the slightest swelling, but the giant egg disappears little by little.

This pocket is not an ordinary pocket, but a dimensional pocket.

To be precise, it is a life-sustaining dimensional pocket specially tailored for creatures such as eggs and cubs.

The dimensional pockets that are usually used to hold things belong to the nature of a constant vacuum, and there are no basic elements for survival there, and if you put eggs and cubs in them, it will not take long to kill them completely.

On the contrary, if it is used to hold ordinary items, it has many defects, but if it is a living thing, everything here will change according to the creature in it to become the most suitable environment for their survival.

Red dragon eggs, for example, will turn into hot, dry magma pools.

If it is a black dragon egg, it will turn into a damp, cold pool of saltwater and so on.

It is said that in the beginning, the Life Dimension Pocket was specially developed to steal dragon eggs, after all, all dragon eggs are very staggering in size, and if you want to steal them, you are afraid that before you can get out of the dragon's nest, you will be discovered by the angry female dragon and take a bite of dragon breath directly.

It is naturally impossible for a cloud ray with a super large size to give birth to an egg the size of a chicken egg, and if they do not have this preparation, it will not be easy for them to take it away.

If there is a transcendent spellcaster, it is not a good way to use teleportation to teleport with him.

However, most spellcasters are reluctant to get involved in such dangerous tasks, and many monster lairs, especially dragon nests, are forbidden to teleport, ghost, or aether travel.

This cloud ray lair is no exception, and the Ghost Cloak of the Thieves Trio has been useless since they set foot on it.

However, this ability does not originate from the cloud ray lair, but from the giant's palace beneath it.

Even after endless years, not only does the palace stand, but even the magical effects on it are taking effect.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

After the first cloud ray egg was passive, the cloud ray on the other side completely stormed away, and seven or eight boulders flew up from the ground, but instead of throwing them out, they circled back and forth around it, flying together as it floated and flew.

It is directly using these boulders as a protective weapon, and if anyone dares to approach it, they need to face the repeated bombardment of the boulders first.

It's a shame that this guy is a magic beast with no intelligence, if it is a smart creature, he can create a few barbed iron balls for himself, which is definitely a body protection artifact.

"It's time for now, and each Wyvern is responsible for solving one." There was a dragon command from the group of dragons.

The wyverns that circled around the cloud rays immediately roared and rushed up in unison.

Without thinking about it, the cloud ray smashed the boulder at the nearest target.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It is more appropriate to say that these dragons have a firm grip on the boulders with their own feet, rather than the boulders hitting the dragons.

Ignoring the smashes on their bodies, they desperately dragged the boulders and flew away from the cloud rays.

From the very beginning, the Wyvern's target was not the cloud ray, but the boulders around it, which was to help clear the way for the real attackers.

Whining!

A terrifying roar erupted from the cloud ray's gaping jaw, a huge bottomless pit large enough to swallow a mammoth in one gulp.

What makes people's scalp tingle is that its mouth is not toothless like a ray, but like a megalodon, full of criss-crossing sharp teeth, circle by circle, all the way to the deepest part of the throat like a black hole, no one knows if there is anything inside, and those who know are afraid that they have already been cut into pieces and become the residue in its stomach.

When the air in its body is squeezed and exhaled to the extreme, it is a long inhalation.

The sound of inhaling was even more terrifying, fast and urgent, not only the air was triggered, but even the magic power was surging towards its body like a tide, and the flying dragon in front of it was sucked on the spot, like a little mouse in front of vacuuming, and involuntarily flew towards the big mouth of the cloud ray that could not see the bottom at a glance.

It's not just the air suction, it's also the cloud ray's telekinetic ability, because this situation is not only on the wyvern directly in front of it, but also on the other more or less dragging force.

It gave up control of the boulders directly, and instead prepared to take the wyvern closest to its mouth and kill one of them first.

According to what it knew about these monsters, once it swallowed a few of them in front of them, they would be completely panicked, and they would no longer care about besieging them, and they would flee in the wilderness.

If the group of wyverns is wild, this is likely to happen.

No, it would be more accurate to say that these groups of wyverns would not appear here either, actively attacking a cloud ray.

Throughout, these dragons are just a front to attract the attention of the cloud rays.

When the cloud ray launched an attack, the real main force had already quietly landed on its back, and it didn't even notice it because the opponent's weight was too light.

By the time it was aware of it, huge figures had appeared on its broad back.

"What's that? Treants? How do treants appear on the back of a cloud ray out of thin air? ”

"Needless to say, it must be using summoning spells such as summoning natural allies, I said, I saw human figures on the backs of those wyverns before, and now it seems that I am not mistaken, these wyverns are not wild, but artificially controlled, and there is a powerful spellcaster behind all this."

"What exactly does this spellcaster want to do? Since he can control so many flying dragons, even if his strength is not legendary, he must be a quasi-legend, if he wants to kill a cloud ray, he can directly release lethal magic, can he use it so troublesomely? ”

"He's just afraid that it's not as simple as killing this cloud ray, but that he wants to try to tame the cloud ray like our future buyers, but they start from the egg, and this spellcaster is going to start directly from the adult cloud ray."

"It's unbelievable, it's unbelievable, I've grown so big, I haven't heard of a tamed cloud ray."

"I haven't heard of it, it's because you're short-sighted, it doesn't mean that no one in this world has done it."

"Don't talk nonsense here, hurry up and put all the remaining few cloud ray eggs into the life support dimensional pocket, and prepare to run away, no matter what the strong man wants to do, our current behavior belongs to the dragon's mouth tooth extraction, whether it is the cloud ray victory or the spellcaster's victory, there will be no good fruit for us to eat, and spitting out the cloud ray eggs is light."

"That's right...... Oh my God, what's going on? The Treants had come together and become a bigger Treant, incredible, incredible, a giant Treant, looking at the hammer in his hand, golden, able to change size, I think I knew who was preparing to capture the cloud rays. ”

"That's the Lady of Strategy's artifact war marauder, he's the Chosen One of the Lady of Strategy, the pioneer of the Path of the Conqueror, Gavin the Conqueror, the Lord of Shadows, and we seem to have hit a big deal."

"Go, go, go, hurry up, it's too late if you don't go, it doesn't matter if he is Gavin the Conqueror or not, now these cloud ray eggs are ours, even if the Lord of Shadows comes in person, he can't let us spit out the treasure."

The trio of thieves were shocked by the scene that happened to the cloud ray, first five green rays of light flashed, and five huge tree people appeared on the cloud ray's back.

Before the cloud ray reacted, the five tree people actually put together to form a larger tree man, and the body shape of seventeen or eighteen meters was actually suitable for the cloud ray, and there was a feeling of a giant cloud ray knight.

When the other party released the hammer in his hand, they immediately recognized each other's identities.

To be a good thief, unless you are clever, you must have one more thing - a lot of information.

This conqueror, who is in the limelight, does not know that there are really few thieves in the Dragon Bay, especially the hammer in his hand, which is a freshly baked high-level artifact, and the symbol of the Lady of Strategy's ascension to the gods and her attempt to march into the plan to plunder the priesthood is spreading throughout the Faeron continent with the wind.

When the giant tree man and the hammer in his hand appeared, the cloud ray immediately stopped rising in size, but fell rapidly.

No matter how much the cloud ray fluttered and struggled, it couldn't shake it off its back.

The shape of the cloud ray is destined to prevent it from flipping and flying like other flying creatures, which is a trick for those flying creatures to shake off their enemies on their backs.

The cloud ray only felt that the weight on its back was getting heavier and heavier, even if it mobilized the strength of its whole body, allowing the light cloud ray's qi to fill every inch of its body, and the magic power wrapped around its body produced a more powerful floating force, it still couldn't resist this huge pressure, and it fell towards the ground uncontrollably, and faster and faster.

The weight-bearing capacity of the huge cloud ray is not terrifying, and it is not easy for an ancient golden dragon to press it from the clouds to the ground in terms of 100 tons.

But the hammer that couldn't stand the pressure on its back was even more demonic, it was a high-level artifact, and there was no one like it in the entire Faeron several times.

If it weren't for the fear of accidentally killing it, Gavin didn't need to bother so much at all, just take the war marauder on the back of the cloud ray, change it to the maximum size, the maximum weight, the 1,200 tons of weight enough to weigh the cloud ray crashed on the spot.

A divine incarnation was brutally killed by him in this way, let alone a magic beast, even if it had as many as thirty life dice.

Before the quasi-legendary, it was still relatively easy to use the life dice to measure combat effectiveness.

After all, the abilities of many professionals are not yet complete, and their combat effectiveness has not yet come up, and those monsters and beasts can also occupy a considerable advantage with their strong physical abilities.

But when it comes to the legend, and even later, it is not appropriate to measure it purely by life dice, especially for a magic beast that lacks wisdom like a cloud ray, and its combat power cannot match its own life dice.

They lack both a large number of special abilities to support them and powerful magical equipment.

A legendary warrior with bare hands and armed with magic equipment above +3 is definitely not on the same level of combat effectiveness.

Compared with Gavin in the half-body god costume, it is obviously not enough to see.

In the case of this cloud ray, it has a full thirty life dice, but it is really not as difficult to kill as expected, as long as it requires a quasi-legendary adventure party with similar equipment (four or five people, class level 18 and above).

But if it is artificially armed, its combat effectiveness can soar.

Based on the array of abilities it displays, Gavin has thought of several ways to arm it, such as tailoring a set of mind control equipment for it, with whirl, recovery, or autorefill properties, which can unleash a close-range throwing storm of attacks, making it much more difficult to get close to it.

The other is to increase the defensive power on its back, so as not to give the enemy a chance to jump directly on its back and attack, just like itself.

This is its biggest shortcoming, and it is difficult to defend on its own.
