Chapter 173 Pilgrimage!
There are two major types of flying dragons, pterosaurs and bipedal dragons.
Pterosaurs are just like the wind and thunder pterosaurs that Witte is seeing now. The limbs, the sides of the torso, and the tail are all connected by a layer of flesh wings.
Don't underestimate this layer of flesh wings, which can support the high-speed flight of pterosaurs. With the same body size, the strength is stronger than that of dragons.
After all, it is difficult for dragons to fly for a long time without using magic, relying only on their wings.
Of course, this is also related to the size of the dragon.
Just like Witte, his wings are larger, wider, and thicker than those of dragons of the same size. The muscle groups connected to the wings on his back are much stronger than his limbs.
And this is why he looks much stronger than a normal silver dragon.
Pterosaurs can fly for a long time without the help of magic, and the strength of that layer of flesh membrane is evident.
Another major category of flying dragons, the bipedal flying dragons, are somewhat similar in appearance to the giant dragons such as the elemental dragons and the chromatic dragons that walk upright.
However, they only have hind limbs, and the forelimbs are replaced by wings.
Whether it is the pterosaurs or the bipedal flying dragons, there are very few species with relatively large bodies, because the flying dragons are strong in speed and the gorgeous magic fighting style developed on the basis of speed.
If the body is too large, it will affect the speed.
In addition, as a long-lived species, the flying dragon has the shortest lifespan, only about a thousand.
The lifespan of the dragon is about ten thousand, not to mention the giant dragon.
Of course, this is all under normal circumstances, and it is another matter if it breaks through the legend.
In addition, the flying dragon has some points that are difficult to compare with the dragon and the giant dragon.
That is the improvement of strength!
The dragon does nothing, as long as it develops normally, once it reaches adulthood, that is, it reaches the adolescence, it must be platinum, and in the mature stage, it must be amethyst. If it is more diligent, it will be legendary.
Even if there is a dragon that is too lazy or has poor talent and has not broken through to the legendary stage in the mature stage, it will definitely be legendary after living to the old stage!
So there is a saying that the dragon is a creation of God, which is too perfect!
There is a gap between the dragon and the dragon, but the gap is not big. After adulthood, it must be gold, in the mature stage, it must be platinum, and in the old stage, it must be amethyst.
However, if the dragon wants to break through to the legendary stage, it must practice well, otherwise, it will not break through to the legendary stage until it dies.
Compared with the above two, the flying dragon is a bit lame.
It must be silver at adulthood, and then... there is no more. If you don’t practice hard, let alone legend, when your life is exhausted, you can reach platinum, even if you have a stunning dragon talent!
Compared with the giant dragons and dragons who win by doing nothing, flying dragons are the representatives of no strength without hard work.
If flying dragons did not really know dragon language magic and had the same wisdom as giant dragons and dragons, they could even be kicked out of the dragon clan.
Of course, it does not mean that flying dragons are necessarily weak, and giant dragons and dragons are necessarily strong.
In a race, there are strong ones and weak ones.
There are not no legendary giants among flying dragons, and there are not ordinary giant dragons who stay in the lower legendary level for their whole lives.
Uh... okay, although the lower legendary level is not ordinary.
However, there are few giant dragons!
If you have to make a metaphor, flying dragons are people, and giant dragons are tigers. The difference in the number of the two is so big that it is shocking!
The wind and thunder pterosaur is considered to be the stronger one among the flying dragons.
Otherwise, when Si Kuo mentioned the Sky City before, he would not have specifically mentioned that Gu Luo let a group of wind and thunder pterosaurs be the managers of the Sky City.
Another thing worth noting is that only the dragon's old age does not refer to physical aging.
...
Witt looked at the approaching team of wind and thunder pterosaurs and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
There were nearly a thousand wind and thunder pterosaurs, of which nearly two-thirds were mature dragons, and the other one-third were immature dragons.
The immature dragons and some mature dragons dragging large stone boxes with magic chains were wrapped in the center of the team.
It looked normal, like a group migrating.
However, if you look closely, you will find that the composition of this team is not reasonable!
For the dragon clan, after maturity, it is the beginning of strength improvement!
And in this team, without considering the dragon eggs, there is not a single old dragon. Most of the mature dragons are silver-level, only a small part are gold-level, and there are only three platinum-level ones.
"They are on a pilgrimage!"
Just as Witt was puzzled, Si Kuo's voice suddenly sounded.
Witt was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "What is the pilgrimage?"
Antawana and Linsda also noticed this group of future travel companions after hearing Squaw's roar.
After hearing Squaw's words, they stopped what they were doing and listened curiously.
And Squaw did not hide the idea, and explained directly: "The pilgrimage is a unique activity of the wind and thunder pterosaur tribe in the Fast continent where you are.
Their goal is the sky city we are about to go to!
Of course, the pilgrimage does not refer to Guluo, but the area where the sky city is located.
The wind and thunder elements there are extremely rich, and are regarded as holy by the wind and thunder pterosaurs. Every once in a while, the wind and thunder pterosaur tribe will send some members to the sky city.
The situation of each tribe is different, so the time interval for the pilgrimage is also different.
So, if you see a large group of wind and thunder pterosaurs on the road, it is likely that they are on a pilgrimage.
However, their destination is not necessarily the city in the sky!
The pilgrimage has another name, called seed travel. Does it sound strange?
But in fact, this kind of travel can allow a group of wind and thunder pterosaurs to exist for a long time.
Every group has a limit to bear. When a group is too large, it is the beginning of their decline, because the surrounding environment cannot bear the increasingly large number.
Especially for our dragons.
Seed travel is to use part of the wind and thunder pterosaur group as seeds, let them go with the wind, and take root after finding a suitable place.
In this way, not only can the light dragons in the tribe satisfy their yearning for the outer world, but also the pressure of the surrounding environment can be relieved, allowing the tribe to continue to survive.
Relying on this method, the wind and thunder pterosaurs are almost all over the Fast Continent.
Of course, other flying dragons have similar practices, but they are not as famous as the pilgrimage of the wind and thunder pterosaurs. "
Hearing this, Witt suddenly realized!
No wonder the composition of this group of wind and thunder pterosaurs is so strange. It turns out that they are just a small part of a tribe.
But...
"Are there really dragons willing to leave the tribe?"
Si Kuo said very affirmatively: "Of course, but you are the dragons from the Dragon's Nest, and your desire for freedom is not so strong.
In fact, there are many more wind and thunder pterosaurs who want to go on a pilgrimage than you see now.
However, if too many leave, it will be detrimental to the development of the Dragon's Nest.
Therefore, many dragons are forced to stay!"
"..."
