Chapter 483 Lurking Griffin Nest, Scorpion Tiger 【Subscribe】【5K】
This is the first exploration operation after the Winter Challenge.
The goals are clear and well prepared.
Although the Winter Challenge seemed to restrain Zong Shen's actions, it did not affect his strength at all.
In fact, such a challenge is that the lord system gives all lords the opportunity to improve their strength.
It is also a kind of quick grinding, because experience and lessons are the best teachers.
After many battles, Zong Shen has been able to master the skills of using various weapons proficiently.
Fighting and fighting do not require skills at all, and the skills of fighting must of course be nurtured in the fighting.
Fighting is the best teacher, when one has gone through hundreds of fights.
Every attack will be the most appropriate and efficient way to shoot.
Clinging to routines and techniques is a downside.
What kind of boxing, swordsmanship, swordsmanship, fighting skills, in the final analysis, can not match the four words that practice makes perfect.
Learning routines and techniques is simply the equivalent of mastering combat techniques in a softer way.
However, Zong Shen had the conditions to replace practice with actual combat, so he didn't have to think about routines at all.
All turbofan power of the goblin airship is boosted to the maximum gear, and the thrust is reached to the limit.
Sitting in the pod, you can hear the sound of the fan turning around.
The sky of two or three thousand meters is relatively calm, and the vast airspace is much wider than the ocean.
The golden line navigation manifested by the strategy tips is the best route to the destination.
All known hazards are excluded from the route.
The airship moved towards the northern part of the territory, first over the burial grounds, and then began to gradually deviate to the west.
About thirty or forty minutes later, the airship had already flown into the sky above the mountains and forests.
From the cockpit you can see the lush green forest.
At this moment, all traces of the Winter Challenge have disappeared.
There are no more unsightly ice and snow as far as the eyes can see, this feeling makes Zong Shen feel a lot more comfortable.
The world of ice and snow is really too depressing, and due to the nature of the challenge, there is an obvious sense of sensory separation between the lord and the aborigines. Whether it is seen, felt, or touched, it is actually different.
Although this difference can be tolerated, it can still make people feel uncomfortable.
Now that everything is over, Zong Shen is back in the normal world with the same senses as the aborigines.
The terrain in the mountains and forests is extremely undulating. Looking down from a high altitude, you can clearly see the undulating mountains, each with its own peaks, and the bottoms are connected to each other, forming valleys, ravines, ditches, and peaks. Stereoscopic view.
During this period, unknown birds and raptors of Warcraft can be seen flying in the distance.
From a high-altitude perspective, and because the weather is clear, the clouds are thin, and there is no obstruction, these flying birds of prey are only the size of a grain of rice.
The distance between the two is at least tens of kilometers.
This distance is safe enough to not arouse their hostility.
Less than an hour and a half later, the airship has come to the vicinity of the destination.
Zong Shen let the airship slow down and entered the cycle state, while he stood up, took out the [Single Telescope (Purple)] that he had just drawn, closed his right eye, and put his left eye on the telescope.
This is a single-tube retractable telescope, about as thick as an adult's forearm when unextended, with a length of about thirty centimeters.
After stretching, the length can reach 70 centimeters, and the diameter of the lens cylinder at the end is about the same as five fingers close together. When Zong Shen observed with a telescope, his field of view was improved several times.
There is a huge rock cliff on a high mountain twenty or thirty kilometers in front of the airship.
The top is unusually flat, without any trees, and there are steep rocks on both sides. There is a drop of more than 1,000 meters from the bottom of the cliff at the mountainside to the top of the cliff.
Counting the altitude from the bottom of the mountain to the mountainside, the total height of this cliff reaches more than 2,000 meters.
Most of the mountains here are hills and hills with an altitude of several hundred meters, so this cliff is also a commanding height nearby, standing among the mountains, there is a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
Right at the top of this cliff, there is a huge domed lair.
The nest is so huge that it almost looks like a bird's nest hat on the cliff.
The whole body is made of crossed logs with the thickness of the thighs.
It is like a cylindrical wooden house, but the roof of this wooden house is a peculiar bird's nest shape.
It's like wearing an explosive head made of wood.
Only a circular entrance remains near the west side.
Because of the distance, Zong Shen could not accurately estimate the diameter of the entrance to the nest even with the blessing of the telescope.
You can only resort to the Raiders module to supplement information.
After his thoughts moved, some parameters appeared in his field of vision.
The shape of the entrance is actually irregular, but it is relatively circular in the super-far vision distance.
The diameter at the widest point is 56 meters and the diameter at the narrowest point is 42 meters.
The entrance is unbelievably large.
Griffons are also roughly divided into size and strength according to age.
A normal captain-level griffin, that is, an adult griffin, is slightly larger than an adult hippogryph, and much larger than a dragon eagle.
But even so, the body length of the captain-level griffin is about three meters, and the length of the wings can reach six or seven meters after the wings are fully extended.
A commander-level adult griffin can reach five to seven meters in length, with a maximum wingspan of fifteen or six meters.
Like a flying airbus.
The wingspan of raptors can reach two to three times their body length, not to mention the type of aerial beasts like griffins.
As for the overlord-level old griffin, it is even more exaggerated. The length of the body can reach about 12 to 3 meters, and the wings can be stretched to the point of 27 to 8 meters.
This body length is already comparable to the little black dragon and the little white dragon that have just grown up.
Gryphons are also long-lived, usually living for five or six centuries.
Among them, the golden plume griffin and the dragon vein griffin have a longer lifespan and a larger size.
One thing to say, such a large entrance fits the figure of the overlord-level dragon-veined griffin.
These are all from the information provided by the walkthrough module.
I heard that griffins have a hobby of collecting gems, and there must be abundant gems and gold and silver deposits near their nests. I don’t know if there are precious gem mines nearby.
In terms of geographical location, this place should have left the range of the Azshara mine.
However, the existence of adjacent ore veins cannot be ruled out.
From an analysis of the actual situation, it is still very possible.
At the speed of the goblin airship cruising, it can take up to twenty or thirty minutes to reach the Griffin's Nest.
There are densely vegetated mountains and forests nearby. It is not easy to find a safe landing spot for the airship. The only flat area is the top of the cliff, behind the griffin's nest, where there is an unoccupied area. Open space, enough for the goblin airship to land.
However, if it landed there, it would definitely be besieged by the mature griffins and adult griffins who stayed behind in the nest.
Although the Raiders mentioned that the overlord-level dragon-veined griffins took away most of the griffins in the nest.
However, the basic defensive power in the Griffin's Nest is still there.
The air is their home ground. Once they fight for their lives, the goblin airship will not last long and will be torn to shreds by these guys.
In the pod of the airship, it is difficult for Zong Shen and the others to exert their due strength, and they will be passive at that time.
Therefore, the landing site provided by Golden Line Navigation is on the mountainside under the stone cliff.
There is also an open space that is not sheltered by trees. It is more than a thousand meters away from the top of the cliff. As long as you are careful, you should not be found.
As for how to get to the cliff, that's easy to do. Kanigia knows group levitation, and Zong Shen also has group levitation runes on hand. The height difference of the cliff cannot meet the elevated requirements of levitation.
After making up his mind, Zong Shen sat back in the cockpit, released the cruise mode, started manual control, turned a direction, and flew towards the back of the Griffin Nest.
Only a fool would fly undisguised in the direction of the entrance.
At a flight speed of 80 kilometers per hour, it took about 20 minutes to reach the mountainside below the back of the Griffin's Nest. There are few trees here, and there is an open space for the airship to lift and land.
When the airship stopped smoothly on the mountainside, it was already four past six in the afternoon.
The sun is gradually shifting, but the weather is not bad, and the temperature has returned to a normal level.
Everyone quickly left the airship pod, moving their muscles and bones in place, preparing their weapons.
Zong Shen was the last to leave the pod, and he put the goblin airship into the storage compartment.
"Kanigia, use mass levitation."
"The rest follow me, and I use the floating rune."
Zong Shen quickly instructed that the alert range of those griffins is not far away, at least they are not aware of it now, but this may be related to the reason why most of the prime and adult griffins have already left the nest.
Caniggia put away his hippie smile, and this is his first expedition with the team since he was recruited.
As a genius, he has his own fighting instincts.
I saw him raise the wand lightly, and there was no obvious singing movement. There was a light blue wind magic power wrapped around the wand, flying like light blue fireworks, and landed on the nearby twenty-nine teammates. On him, including himself, there are exactly thirty people.
Zong Shen also took out the rune stone, activated and used it, and selected the last six people including himself. It is worth mentioning that Luna's sentinel Panther alone occupied two floating places.
The whole crew floated up and began to float up along the back of the cliff.
Taking advantage of this time, Zong Shen asked for the strategy tips again and made the final confirmation.
"How's the Griffin Nest up there?"
(You are lucky, a group of manticores are preparing to attack, these manticores with eagle wings and lions are the deadly enemies of griffins. They are smaller than griffins, but their fighting power is not bad. The scorpion tail can shoot poisonous thorns through the tubular part, each thorn is like a piercing arrow
Each manticore can fire thirty thorns in a row, and their claws are also very sharp, capable of tearing apart the hard-scaled feathers of a griffin.
They are natural enemies and often hunt each other. This group of manticores has been planning for a long time, and finally it is time for the large-scale hunting of the griffins.)
The golden hint subtitles are very long, one paragraph after another.
The situation of the scorpion tiger group is introduced in detail.
It seems to be foreshadowing the next fierce battle.
Zong Shen silently closed the subtitle prompt, it seems that this action is also a coincidence.
The wild is not a peaceful and peaceful place. Although those gryphons are mighty, they also have natural enemies that are pinpointed to Maimang.
In order to reproduce and survive, there is only primitive hunting and fighting.
And now is the time when the guards in the Griffin's Nest are at their weakest.
The griffins like to fly away from the mountains to the south to hunt, and Zong Shen has also seen several small groups of griffins returning to the mountain nests from south to north.
So this time the hunting operation can be said to be unprecedented.
Otherwise, the overlord-level dragon-veined griffin leader would not have taken away most of the adult griffins in the territory.
According to the information mentioned several times in the Raiders, there should have been one overlord-level dragon-veined gryphon, twenty-seven rare-level adult gryphons, forty-six captain-level young gryphons, and ten juvenile gryphons in the gryphon nest. Six, plus seven griffin eggs.
Zong Shen scrutinized according to this number. At present, there are at most eight or nine mature griffins left in the gryphon nest, and fifteen or sixteen adult griffins.
Therefore, the Griffin Nest still has the power to fight, but I don't know how many scorpion tigers have come.
If the number advantage is too large, I am afraid that these remaining griffins will be killed soon.
These griffins are already the beasts in the sky that Zong Shen has designated, and they must not be allowed to take advantage of those scorpion tigers. On the contrary, Zong Shen intends to take advantage of them in turn.
The speed of levitation is not slow, and now the soldiers have already flown half of the height of the stone cliff.
"Please tell me how many scorpion tigers came?"
"And mark their updates for me."
(Leaded by the Overlord-level Helicopter Steel Thorn Minions, there are 18 Commander-level Helicopters and 67 Captain-level Helicopters)
After the subtitle prompt appeared, a strange golden stroke appeared in front of Zong Shen's eyes.
Those scorpion-tailed tigers are diagonally opposite Zong Shen's head, and they seem to be preparing to attack from the side of the griffin's nest.
Zong Shen didn't say a word, and after a few minutes, Kanigia and the others took the lead in reaching the summit.
Then the remaining six people also all climbed the stone cliff.
Their landing site is at the back of the Griffin's Nest, with large shadows and clearings.
A huge griffin's nest, like a primitive wonder, is next to it.
Zong Shen first arranged for everyone to hide in the corner on the side of the Griffin's Nest.
Then he stared at it, trying to see if the griffin nest had the relevant system attributes.
【Gryphon Nest on the Cliff Top in the Wild (Special)】
【Self-built buildings for special ethnic groups】
【Sturdy value: 150000】
[Building Armor: 65]
【Area: 0.125 square kilometers】
[Effect: Reproduction (Gryphon reproduction rate increased by 35%, growth rate increased by 15%)
Habitat (can provide 25 points of health regeneration per hour for gryphons)]
(Habitats and nests suitable for the breeding of griffins, where their reproduction will receive a certain bonus, subject to environmental factors and facies, the building cannot be relocated and rebuilt)
Goodfellas is really a standard building with detailed properties.
However, this building is closely related to the surrounding environment and cannot be moved.
In other words, it is no longer suitable as a gryphon's nest even if it has moved to the territory.
Only the unique cliff-top environment in this forest is suitable for griffins to thrive.
It is less than two hundred kilometers away from the territory.
It takes about two hours to ride the goblin airship.
And the flying speed of the griffin is much faster than that of the airship.
Captain-level adult gryphons can fly at speeds of up to 360 km/h.
The rare-level adult griffin can reach 420 kilometers per hour.
As for the overlord-level dragon-veined griffin, it is at least 550~600 kilometers per hour.
In addition to battery life, this air speed is almost comparable to that of an old-fashioned propeller airliner.
If you ride a dragon-veined griffin, it only takes an hour and a few minutes to get to Bosbon from the territory.
Therefore, this gryphon nest is worth keeping, and some warriors must be stationed here.
With the mobility of the gryphon, the garrisoned troops can quickly travel back and forth between the gryphon nest and the territory.
In the future, when the material resources on hand are abundant, a [100-kilometer-level space teleportation array] can be built in the gryphon nest.
At the moment, Zong Shen has decided to keep this griffin nest to maintain the normal reproduction of griffins.
However, it will take 180 years for a griffin to grow into adulthood. Unless there is any means of accelerating the growth, it is unrealistic to expect a new generation of griffins to reproduce.
But in any case, it is worth building and preserving.
Just when Zong Shen was thinking, a fierce chirping sound suddenly came from the top of the cliff.
There is also the roar of a tiger and the flapping of its wings.
In his eyes, the position of the golden mark moved, and it was vacating outside the nest.
"Vereesa, Kanigia, come with me."
"Luna, Doris, you guys continue to stand by here with everyone."
Zong Shen pointed out two people and quickly left the back of the nest, and went around to one side along the edge.
The snorts and growls became more pronounced as they approached.
Even the huge griffin nest was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that something hit it from time to time, and the nest made of logs appeared a little distorted.
But the sturdiness of the griffin's nest is obviously beyond imagination.
These logs function like the branches that little birds use to build their nests.
They are riveted and interspersed with each other. Although the shape is a bit sloppy, the firmness of the entire griffin nest is definitely not bad.
The three held their breaths and walked quickly against the gryphon nest.
Finally came to the corner on the other side, where Zong Shen saw the situation at the scene.
Nearly a hundred manticores obscured the sky in front of the Griffin's Nest to the left.
They are clustered together, their tails curled from under them to the entrance to the griffin's nest.
Continuously firing black armor thorns, at first glance, it looks like a black shower is falling towards the griffin's nest.
