0218 Storm Vulture

The shape of the Storm Shark is like two super giant sharks walking side by side, connected by a multi-layer platform in the middle, and a huge shark fin type hard balance wing is installed on both sides, forming a peculiar "book" shaped catamaran hull, so the space for activities inside is very large, not like the general float boat, the passenger can only shrink into the narrow pod under the airbag.

Sufficient internal space, multi-layer connection platform, and ultra-high carrying capacity allow the Storm Shark to install a large number of devices at will, not to mention, as many as 100 shipborne ballista positions installed on the hull alone are enough to make this big shark in the air have no dead ends in the body.

The 100 silver mercenaries accompanying the ship, after hearing the alarm from the lookout, rushed to their respective positions as soon as possible, and with a burst of dense machine sounds, a magic crossbow with a pitch angle of more than 70 degrees and a rotation angle of 360 degrees without dead angles was raised from the hidden gun position.

The Storm Shark showed its dense fangs in the blink of an eye, and aimed at those flying monsters that dared to approach!

At this time, Jialan and the others also boarded the outer bridge located on the connecting platform, and the wide field of vision allowed them to clearly see the attacking demonic beast, which was a giant bird with brown and yellow feathers, a slender neck, and a beak that looked like a vulture!

"Storm Vultures! That's Storm Vultures! Watch out for their wind blades!"

The old dwarf screamed, and hurriedly pulled his wand out of his pouch, but fortunately he hadn't forgotten that he was still a junior mage of the wind system.

Jialan looked at the giant birds in the air, which were both familiar and unfamiliar, and turned her head with some confusion to ask Ding Bao Belen, who was facing a great enemy: "Your Excellency Belen, you said that they are called 'Storm Vultures'?

The old dwarf said a little nervously, "Yes! This kind of wind magic released by the Storm Vulture is a great threat to the floatship. It is easy to puncture the airbag and cause light air to leak ......"

After he finished speaking, he smiled dryly, he just remembered. Now I am not riding the original old light air floating boat, but the Storm Shark, a new type of fire gas floating platform with hard airbags!

The Feather Iron Hollow Tube Frame inside the Storm Shark is composed of countless honeycomb heating cabins, which are enough to allow it to ignore the trauma below the intermediate level, even if it is penetrated by a part of the cabin, causing a fire leak, it will not affect its navigation in any way.

Want to sink the Storm Shark. It is not possible to break a few compartments, and unless it can shatter the entire hull in a single blow, it will not pose a serious threat to it.

This group of so-called "Storm Vultures" appeared very suddenly. Not only did they stay away from the breeding ground where they lived, but it also defied the animal's instinct to avoid objects larger than them, and took the initiative to attack the Storm Shark, which is too much to say.

Could it be that this group of Storm Vultures is a war beast controlled by the so-called "Demon Race"?

Looking at a sea of snow-white clouds. Flying around, encircling the Stormshark. The giant birds, who kept making quacking screams threatening the big guy, but were a little confused and afraid, and did not dare to approach, Jialan rubbed her chin and made a gesture to signal the Storm Shark to descend below the clouds.

Jialan's face was a little weird, because of the bird called the "Storm Vulture". To be honest, it was somewhat similar to the form of a bird-like third-order arcane beast "Arrow Eagle" in his impression.

The Arrow Eagle is a type of eagle that has a pair of eyes in the eyes and jaws. With two overlapping tongues and two pairs of wings, a snake that is slender and flexible, but the tip of its tail is covered with sharp and hardened feathers.

To put it simply, it looks like a symmetrical reflection of a vulture cut through the middle of the beak of a bird, removing the belly and claws, and sticking only the dorsal part of the wings to a mirror.

This strange-looking creature is not an indigenous creature of the main material plane, but an arcane creature that escaped from the wind elemental plane, and is known for its ability to fly more flexibly than hummingbirds, and has no dead ends and no direction.

With two pairs of wings in opposite directions and two pairs of eyes, the Arrow Eagle can hardly distinguish between front and back, so it can suddenly turn in any direction in a high-speed flight sprint, and although it belongs to the wind elemental creature, it has the advanced derivative ability of the wind element, thunder and lightning!

Due to the special environment of the wind elemental plane, these creatures will not land on the ground for the rest of their lives, and even when they sleep, they will float, so in the process of evolution, they have eliminated organs such as legs and claws.

As a result, in combat, the Arrow Eagle tends to use its nimble serpentine tail to unleash lightning beams at enemies, and only in close combat will it fire hardened feathers from its tail and tear enemies apart with its hard, sharp vulture-like beak peck.

Even in Jialan's original era, the Arrow Eagle was a very terrifying and dangerous arcane creature, although they were scarce in number, but once they encountered this arcane beast, even a warrior who was a few ranks higher than them, it would be difficult to deal with them...... You can't touch them at all!

But the storm vulture in front of him is obviously a little different from the arrow eagle, although it still retains the general appearance of the arrow eagle, but they only have a pair of wings, and a pair of deformed small claws grow under the abdomen, is this the offspring left by the arrow eagle after localization and reproduction?

According to the description of the old dwarf, although the storm vulture has the wind magic ability equivalent to that of a high-level wind magician, it is limited to that, and does not have the thunder and lightning ability of their ancestors, which has to be said to be a kind of degradation.

And compared to the almost traceless flight trajectory of the Arrow Eagle, although the Storm Vulture's flight ability is also excellent, it is not impossible to catch, which makes Jialan, who was startled at the first sight of the Storm Vulture, relieved.

As soon as they saw the big creature of the Storm Shark begin to descend, the restless Storm Vulture suddenly attacked, and the shock air released between their wings flapped made the Storm Shark's hull shake slightly.

Perhaps this kind of turbulence can be dangerous for the floatship, but it has no effect on the Storm Shark, which is already large enough to be large and has a balance wing, and the two sides are not proportional in size at all...... Can the air currents set off by the wings of flies pose a threat to elephants?

Seeing that the usual air flow disturbance was ineffective, the Storm Vultures, numbering about a few dozen, screamed in annoyance, pounced closer, and sprayed wind arrows from their mouths, chiseling holes in the skin made of deep-sea fish skin of the Storm Shark!

The ultra-high temperature wind and fire compatible elemental substance sneered out, forming a spectacular jet in the extremely low temperature of the high altitude, a storm vulture was caught off guard by the high-temperature wind and fire elemental substance, and suddenly screamed and turned into a fireball and fell down, frightened the other storm vultures screamed and flew away in panic.

Jasley eagerly asked, "Teacher, aren't we going to attack them?"

"Uh~ Okay! Knock them down!"

Jialan waved her hand with a little headache, signaling the mercenaries to start attacking as well, these young apprentices under her name, since they had exhausted a previous magic combat confrontation, they showed quite dangerous belligerent tendencies, and when they saw a fly flying by, they couldn't help but want to bombard it with magic, which was not a good thing for their future learning.

However, although the Storm Vulture does not pose much of a threat to the Storm Shark, their wind attack is also very annoying, and it is also troublesome to repair and replace the skin when it comes time, right?

With Jialan's permission, the three girl apprentices excitedly raised their wands in their hands, and without even chanting magic spells, they sprayed out wind, fire, and water magic balls, and blasted towards the storm vulture in the air!

Especially Alan, after she found out that the "Wind Ball Technique" did not hurt the Storm Vulture much, she immediately replaced the "Earth Ball Technique", and saw a large earthy yellow bowl mouth, whistling out like a cannonball, once it was hit, the Storm Vulture would burst a puff of feathers in the air, and fall down with internal organs and blood in all parts, which would definitely not survive.

Because the Brown sisters specialize in the relationship between fire and water, Alan, who has the magic talent of "wind, fire, water, and earth", always subconsciously distinguishes herself from them, and rarely takes the initiative to use the abilities of fire and water, but tends to use wind and earth magic.

"Gasli, watch out for spells! Spellcasting isn't just about throwing magic out!

"Alan! Shaped! Are you just throwing out a normal ball of earth? Can't it burst open, can't it split into an cone of earth?"

"How many times have I told you? You're not the same as Sister Brown! You don't have to specialize in one magical nature!

The mercenaries were speechless at Jialan's signal, and just used their magic crossbows to fire ordinary crossbow arrows to drive away the approaching storm vultures and control them to become magic targets for the three young apprentices.

I really don't know what Your Excellency Jialan's nerves are made of, hasn't he ever been nervous? Such a dangerous magical beast as the Storm Vulture has become a practical teaching material in his eyes?

The mercenaries sometimes feel that it is really boring to fight with His Excellency Jialan, as soon as the three apprentices under him appeared, there was basically nothing to do with them, and the enemy was bombarded into scum by overwhelming magic before they got close, they were also silver-level warriors, so they were reduced to the role of cleaning the battlefield, it was very faceless, okay?

The Storm Shark descended quickly, passing through the thick clouds, and the earth below quickly appeared in front of them, and sure enough, they found two teams that were fighting, and this group of Storm Vultures was obviously controlled by someone!

One of the teams was composed of a team of hundreds of human warriors, while the other was a little chaotic, standing behind Jialan with nothing to do, playing with a dagger to watch Hugo shoot arrows by Carter, and after glancing at the two warring sides below, he exclaimed in surprise: "Oh! It's a demon!"

Jialan, who was instructing the three young apprentices, looked down when she heard this, and said in surprise: "You mean the following...... Is it a demon?" (To be continued......) u
