Chapter 824 Chess Player
The large "alchemy bomb" drew a beautiful parabola in the night, and entered Pelidon's lair just as Arnold expected.
A few seconds later, there was a thunderous roar from the depths of the lair!
A large number of "thunderstones" released a strong shock wave at the moment of detonation, lifted the dense bushes covering the nest, and sprayed a column of smoke and dust mixed with a large amount of sand.
The galloping flames flowed back from the hole, almost igniting Arnold's hair, and quickly shrank his head and lay down on his knees to avoid being scalded by the ensuing scorching air waves.
The explosion lasted for about ten seconds, and then the roar that shook the mountains gradually subsided, and the fire caused by a large amount of "blazing glue" was still spreading throughout the Perydon nest, and billowing thick smoke flowed out through the gaps around the nest.
Arnold and the others outside the lair quickly put on goggles and held their breath to endure the choking smoke blowing in front of them.
They have no way of knowing the situation in the lair, but it is not difficult to imagine that the environment inside must be very harsh.
If the Peletons don't fly out quickly to take a few breaths of fresh air, they will probably be choked to death in the nest by the thick smoke.
Just as Arnold and the others waited with anticipation and nervousness for the large group of Pelidons to rush out of the lair, Joan had already switched his observation angle from Angel to the inside of the beast lair that had just been bombed.
The "alchemy bomb" that Arnold threw just now exploded near the first invisible observation point created by Joan with the "Eagle Eye Technique".
Magically shaped "observation points" are insubstantial and unaffected by explosions and flames.
The only thing that makes Joan feel a little uncomfortable is that the smoke and dust produced by the explosion are everywhere, and he can't use the "fog vision" to bless the observation point, so the field of vision is inevitably limited.
Joan tried to adjust the angle of view so that he could see more clearly.
Fortunately, the observation point can not only be used for "seeing", but also provides Joan with a remote listening platform, and the hearing will not be hindered by the smoke.
Familiar roars came from the depths of the cave, one after another, one after another, as if a large group of female beasts were arguing angrily.
Of course, Joan could hear it. This was the roar of the female Pelidon after being irritated.
The roar quickly moved from far to near, and a turbulent air current swept over, blowing away the smoke and dust that obscured the observation point, and the vision suddenly became clear.
Joan quickly cheered up, widened his eyes, and looked in the direction of the roar through the first observation point.
Not long after, he saw a group of female Peridons rushing out from the depths of the nest with big strides, passing by the observation point one after another, without noticing that Joan was watching in secret.
Joan watched Peridon closely, and couldn't help laughing secretly.
These female beasts all looked disheveled and angry, obviously driven mad by the explosion just now, eager to rush out of the lair and seek revenge for the perpetrators.
After observing for a few seconds, Joan switched his perspective to the "Second Observation Point" and "Third Observation Point" which were located deeper in the lair.
The depths of the lair were less affected by the explosion, but the closed environment was not conducive to ventilation, and the thick smoke from the burning was still spreading in the lair, causing the Pelitons and their cubs to cough and suffer unspeakably.
The female Pelidon didn't want to stay in the nest and endure the smoke and fire, so she joined the ranks of her sisters and rushed towards the entrance of the cave.
The cubs also wanted to take the opportunity to sneak out to let the wind go, but they were all stopped by their mothers.
The female Peletons have obviously realized that the sudden explosion just now was not an accidental disaster, but probably a deliberate "disarming power" created by the attackers.
The attacker dared to take the initiative to come to find fault, the strength must not be weak!
For the sake of safety, the female Peridons roared and waved their wings, and drove the cubs into sheltered caves, lest they become victims of the butcher's knife of powerful enemies.
Joan already understood the situation near the three observation points, so he switched the perspective to outside the lair and projected it on Angel first.
Through the telepathic connection, Joan told Angel that most of the female beasts in the lair had already started to move, and they would rush out of the cave in groups soon, asking him to tell Arnold and others to prepare for the battle.
Immediately afterwards, Joan projected his perspective on another "agent"——Holden—and also informed Peridon of the dynamics, asking him to tell Audrey and Hylar to wait until the female Peridon leaves the nest collectively. , Immediately seize the opportunity to sneak into the nest, slaughter the cubs hiding in the cave, and destroy the unhatched beast eggs.
Angor and Holden immediately conveyed the information and suggestions provided by Joan to the teammates in the same group, and each made preparations for action.
Joan was satisfied with the response speed of the two agents, but at the same time realized that his situation was a bit strange.
As the only person in the team who didn't go to the battlefield in person, he hid in the safe hut at the back and seemed very comfortable, but he was busier and more worried than anyone else.
Joan must constantly switch perspectives inside and outside the beast's nest, between the two groups, to investigate the situation and deliver the latest news.
If his brain hadn't been accustomed to the high-intensity thinking mode, this high-frequency two-line operation would simply be unbearable!
Although very tired, Joan was in a surprisingly happy mood.
If the battlefield on the top of the mountain is regarded as a chessboard, the two teams led by Audrey and Arnold, as well as the Pelicons of the opposing camp, are all like pieces on this chessboard.
Only he, the "bystander" who jumped out of the battlefield, played a role closer to a "chess player" than a "chess piece".
Joan likes the feeling of being outside.
In this state, he can try to avoid being disturbed by factors inside the battlefield and make a more rational judgment.
The roar from the exit of the lair became more and more clear.
Arnold and Lowry raised their rifles, their right index fingers already on the trigger, ready to fire.
Angor didn't use his "Fireball Wand" immediately. He accepted Joan's suggestion through the telepathic connection, took out a small ball of spider silk, and cast "Fireball Wand" before the first wave of Peridon rushed out of the hole. "Spider Web Technique", covering the exit of the lair.
Ryan didn't get Joan's advice directly, but seeing Angel performing the spider web technique, his clever mind was immediately inspired. He put down the "Fireball Wand" for the time being, and took out a small piece of mica from the "Spellcasting Material Pack".
After just a few seconds, the six female Pelidons who rushed to the front suffered a lot.
At the exit of the nest filled with smoke, a translucent spider web hangs down at some point.
The eyes of the female beasts were smoky and weeping, and they couldn't realize that a trap had been set outside the door in time. They screamed one after another, and plunged into the sticky spider web.
With the strong physique of the Peletons, as long as they are given a minute, they can successfully get rid of the shackles of the spider web, spread their wings and soar into the air to regain their freedom.
However, in the next short minute, they were about to suffer the cruelest blow in their lives.
