Chapter 734 Cloud Ray

In order to easily obtain more stone bullets, the cloud ray always hovers less than a hundred meters away from the mountain peak where it lives.

A confrontation started with the flying dragons.

Although it lacks intelligence, it possesses the survival instinct of living creatures and can easily judge the situation.

There are too many flying dragons. Once they enter a full-scale air battle, it is easy to lose sight of one and be eaten alive by the opponent.

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

Its floating characteristics mean that as long as it is not moved, its consumption will be very low, and it can maintain this state for several weeks.

Those flying dragons can't do that. Even if they keep circling with the help of wind, as long as they are in the air, they will consume a lot of energy. It won't take long for them to be tired and hungry.

The flying speed of cloud rays is obviously not half that of flying dragons and pegasus, but it can hunt them. It is a war of attrition, chasing them day and night, leaving them no time to rest, hunt and eat, and wait until they speed up After coming down, swallow them whole.

Unless necessary, they generally will not focus on these flying creatures. In comparison, the livestock groups on the ground are larger, easier to lock on, and easier to become tired.

Especially those in mountainous areas, flying has more advantages than running on the ground. It is easy to chase prey into desperate situations, and directly use telekinesis to drag them into their mouths without even landing on the ground.

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

After discovering that someone was approaching the Giant Peak, the cloud ray became visibly agitated and let out low roars from time to time, just like the strange whistling sounds made by strong winds blowing through narrow mountain caves.

Seeing the unusual reaction of Cloud Ray, the trio of thieves became even more excited and even more energetic in climbing the Giant Stairs. This showed that they made the right bet. The habitat where Cloud Ray is located is just a lookout point for it, while Giant Peak is its real destination. Lao Lao, there is only one reason why it reacted so violently - a mother's instinct to protect her children.

"Damn it, there really is a giant palace here!"

"This palace must be at least twenty meters high, right? If I remember correctly, even the cloud giants and storm giants are only super large, and the highest is no more than ten meters, right? Who is living in this palace? Legend has it? The Titan in "

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

"How do we get up there?"

"Go inside the palace. There must be a way to climb to the top."

"It's true that there are ways to climb to the top, but there will probably be stone gates that only giants can push open. We don't have that much time. That cloud ray might go crazy at any time. Leave those flying dragons alone and run back to protect them. own eggs.”

"Use the simplest and most direct method, just put the hook rope and climb up. There are many platforms that can be used to borrow strength. Each of us carries a bundle of ropes, divided into three sections, which is enough for us to climb up."

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

"Get out of the way, I'll come first, right here, ha... It's a success. Today, Ms. Taimora is on our side. I have heard the crisp sound of countless gold coins... Quick, quick, quick, Besca you If you are the lightest, you go up first to lay the second rope, Brinno is second, and I take the rear.”

"Okay, don't tighten the ropes after you come up. We have to follow them down later."

"You don't need to tell me, I know that a thief who doesn't leave himself a way out is not a good thief."

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

Standing in front of them was a palace built for a giant of fifteen or six meters in height. It started at least twenty meters in height. It felt as small as an ant in front of it.

The cloud ray's nest is on the top of this giant palace, because you can clearly see the various trees crisscrossed and covered with mud.

Didn’t you know that cloud rays get ready-made mud? Still like a bird, it mixes the mud with its own saliva.

But they were thieves, the kind with good professional qualities. How could they not have wall-climbing ropes on them? How could he not climb the wall?

This is their specialty.

It only took two or three attempts to hang the rope securely. When the last person came up, the second and third sections of rope were hung up respectively.

The most agile halfling thief took the lead, and soon his excited and shrill cry came 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 one million gold coins, come on, come on, come up, the life-sustaining dimensional bag on me is only enough to hold two..."

The other two thieves could no longer hold back and rushed forward with agility. After seeing the situation in front of them clearly, they couldn't help but laugh with joy. This time, they took the right risk.

In the center of this cloud ray nest that looks like a bird's nest, there are five eggs placed in a circle, but their size is so amazing that even the tallest half-elf thief, let alone a halfling thief, can't stand in front of them. It is three points shorter and covered with cloud-like patterns and spots.

Just by looking at it, you can connect it with the cloud ray.

When they rushed over, the halfling thief had already climbed on top of a cloud ray egg. He didn't know how he did it. After all, the egg was so slippery that it was more than twice as tall as him.

He was putting a bag down on the giant egg.

It's just strange that this pocket doesn't show any sign of expansion, 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 tailored for creatures such as eggs and cubs.

Ordinary dimensional pockets used to hold things are of a constant vacuum nature, and there are no basic elements to maintain survival. If eggs and cubs are put in, they will be completely killed in a short time.

This life-sustaining dimensional pocket is just the opposite. 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 put in, and become the most suitable environment for their survival.

For example, a red dragon egg will become a hot and dry magma pool.

If it is a black dragon egg, it will become a damp, cold salt water pool, etc.

It is said that at first, the life-supporting dimension pocket was developed specifically for stealing dragon eggs. After all, the size of all dragon eggs is very amazing. If you want to steal them, you may be discovered by the angry mother dragon before you leave the dragon's nest and take a breath of dragon breath.

Cloud rays with super giant bodies naturally cannot lay eggs as big as chicken eggs. If they are not prepared in this regard, it is not easy for them to take them away.

If there is an extraordinary spellcaster, it is not a bad idea to use teleportation to teleport them together.

However, most spellcasters are unwilling to get involved in such dangerous tasks. Many monster nests, especially dragon nests, prohibit teleportation, shadows, or ether travel.

This cloud ray nest is no exception. Since they set foot on it, the ghost cloaks of the three thieves have no way to use them.

However, this ability does not come from the cloud ray nest, but from the giant palace below it.

Even after endless years, this palace is not only standing, but also the magic effects on it are still in effect.

Woo! Woo! Woo!

After the first cloud ray egg was passive, the cloud ray on the other side went completely berserk. Seven or eight boulders flew up from the ground, but they were not thrown out. Instead, they circled around it and flew together with it as it floated up.

It used these boulders as self-defense weapons. Anyone who dared to approach it would have to face the repeated bombardment of boulders first.

Fortunately, this guy is a magical beast without wisdom. If it were a wise creature, it would definitely be a body-protecting artifact to build a few spiked iron balls for itself.

"We've been waiting for this moment. Each flying dragon is responsible for solving one problem." A dragon language command came from the flying dragon group.

The flying dragons circling around the cloud ray roared immediately and rushed up in unison.

The cloud ray threw the boulders at the nearest target without thinking.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rather than saying that the boulders hit the flying dragons, it would be more appropriate to say that the flying dragons firmly grasped the boulders with their feet.

They didn't care about the injuries on their bodies, and desperately dragged these boulders and flew away from the cloud ray.

From the beginning, the flying dragon's target was not the cloud ray, but the boulders around it, which was to help the real main attackers clear the obstacles.

Woohoo!

The terrifying roar gushed out from the cloud ray's open mouth. It was a huge bottomless pit, enough to swallow a mammoth.

What made people's scalps numb was that its mouth was not toothless like a ray, but like a megalodon, it was full of criss-crossing sharp teeth, one circle after another, extending to the deepest part of the black hole-like throat. No one knew if there was anything more inside. Those who knew might have been cut into pieces and turned into residue in its stomach.

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

The sound of inhaling was even more terrifying, fast and urgent. Not only was the air moved, but even the magic power surged into its body like a tide. The flying dragon in front of it was sucked on the spot, just like a little mouse in front of a vacuum cleaner, and flew involuntarily into the cloud ray's mouth that could not be seen at a glance.

This was not just the air suction, but also the telekinesis ability of the cloud ray, because this situation not only occurred on the flying dragon in front of it, but also on the others.

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

According to its understanding of these monsters, once it swallowed several of them whole in front of them, they would be completely panicked and would not care about besieging itself anymore, and would flee in panic.

If this group of flying dragons were wild, this situation would most likely occur.

No, to be more precise, these flying dragons would not appear here and actively attack a cloud ray.

From the beginning to the end, these flying dragons were just a cover to attract the attention of the cloud ray.

When the cloud ray launched its attack, the real main force had already landed on its back silently. Because the opponent was too light, it didn't even feel it.

By the time it noticed it, huge figures had appeared on its broad back.

"What is that? Tree people? How did tree people appear on the back of the cloud ray out of thin air?"

"Of course, they must have used summoning spells like Summoning Natural Allies. I said that I saw human figures on the backs of those dragons before. Now it seems that I was not wrong. These dragons are not wild, but controlled by humans. There is a powerful spellcaster behind all this."

"What does this spellcaster want to do? Since he can control so many dragons, even if his strength is not legendary, he must be a quasi-legend. If he wants to kill a cloud ray, he can just release lethal magic directly. Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"

"I'm afraid he doesn't just want to kill this cloud ray, but wants to try to tame it like our future buyers, but they start with eggs, while this spellcaster plans to start directly with adult cloud rays."

"Unbelievable, really unbelievable, I have never heard of a tamed cloud ray in my life."

"You haven't heard of it because you are short-sighted, it doesn't mean that no one in the world can do it."

"Don't talk nonsense here, quickly put all the remaining cloud ray eggs into the life-supporting dimension pocket, prepare to run away, no matter what Whatever the powerful man wants to do, our current actions are like pulling teeth out of a dragon's mouth. Whether the cloud ray wins or the spellcaster wins, we will not have a good harvest. Vomiting the cloud ray eggs is the least of our worries. "

"That's right... God, what's going on? Those tree men actually combined together to become a bigger tree man. It's incredible, it's really incredible, a giant tree man, look at the hammer in his hand, it's golden and can change size. I think I know who is preparing to capture the cloud ray. "

"That's Ms. Strategy's Artifact War Plunderer, he is the Chosen One of Lady Strategy, the Pioneer of the Conqueror Road, Conqueror Gavin, Lord of Shadows, we seem to have run into something incredible. "

"Go, go, go, hurry up, it will be too late if we don't go now, no matter if he is Conqueror Gavin, now these cloud ray eggs are ours, even if the Lord of Shadows comes in person, he can't let us spit out the treasures."

The three thieves were shocked by the scene that happened to the cloud ray. First, five green lights flashed, and five huge tree men appeared on the back of the cloud ray.

Before the cloud ray reacted, the five tree men actually pieced together to form a larger tree man. The 17 or 18-meter figure was actually in line with the cloud ray, giving the feeling of a giant cloud ray knight.

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

As a qualified thief, in addition to being dexterous, there is another indispensable thing - a lot of intelligence.

There are not many thieves who don't know this conqueror in the Dragon Bay, especially the hammer in his hand, which is a freshly baked high-level artifact. It is a symbol of the Lady of Strategy's ascension to the godhood and her attempt to enter the plan to plunder the priesthood. It is spreading throughout the entire Faerun continent with the wind.

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

No matter how the cloud ray fluttered and struggled, it could not get rid of it from its back.

The shape of the cloud ray destined it to be unable to flip and fly like other flying creatures, which is the trick of those flying creatures to get rid of the enemies on their backs.

The cloud ray only felt that the weight on its back was getting heavier and heavier. Even if it mobilized all its strength and let the light cloud ray aura fill every inch of its body, and the magic power wrapped around its body produced a stronger floating force, it still couldn't resist this huge pressure and fell to the ground uncontrollably, and faster and faster.

The huge cloud ray's load-bearing capacity is terrifying. If it is directly measured at 100 tons, even if an ancient golden dragon wants to press it from the clouds to the ground, it is not an easy task.

But the hammer on its back is even more evil. It is a high-level artifact. There is no other hammer like it in the whole of Faerun.

If Gavin was not afraid of accidentally killing it, he would not have to go to such trouble. He would just put the War Predator on the back of the cloud ray and change it to the maximum size and maximum weight. The weight of 1,200 tons is enough to crush the cloud ray on the spot.

He killed a divine incarnation with this method, not to mention a magical beast, even if it has up to 30 life dice.

Before the quasi-legend, it is more useful to use life dice to measure combat effectiveness.

After all, many professionals have not yet completed their abilities and combat effectiveness, and those monsters and beasts can also occupy a considerable advantage with their powerful physical abilities.

But when it comes to Legendary, or even later, it is not appropriate to simply measure it with Life Dice, especially for magical beasts like Cloud Ray that lack intelligence, their combat power cannot match their Life Dice.

They lack a lot of special abilities as support, and they also lack the support of powerful magic equipment.

The combat power of a bare-handed legendary warrior and a +3 or above magical equipment is definitely not on the same level.

Compared with Gavin who is half-digged, it is obviously not good enough.

Take this Cloud Ray for example, it has a full thirty Life Dice, but it is not as difficult as imagined to kill it. It only needs a quasi-legendary adventure team with similar equipment (four to five people, professional level 18 or above), which is enough to do it.

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

Based on the series of abilities it has shown, Gavin has thought of several ways to arm it, such as tailoring a set of mind control equipment for it, with the characteristics of spinning, recycling or automatic reloading, so that it can launch a close-range throwing attack storm, and the difficulty of getting close to it will be greatly increased.

Another way is to increase the defensive power on its back, not giving the enemy the opportunity to jump directly on its back and attack like himself.

This is its biggest shortcoming, and it is difficult to defend it by itself.
