Chapter 164 Banshee Brigade
After the formation was arranged, we started to move forward. No trace of the harpy was found on the initial section of the cliff, which made us wonder if there was any change in the mission. However, when we walked about a hundred meters, we suddenly heard an unpleasant scream. Then a large shadow rushed towards us. Although the surroundings are pitch black, there is a difference between pitch black and pitch black, especially since I have dark vision, so I can see figures in the darkness.
What Ashford said before was obviously not comprehensive. The harpies that appeared in front of him were not the common harpies. In fact, many people have misunderstandings. They think harpies are very ugly and disgusting creatures. But actually this is not absolute.
In "Zero", there are many different types of harpies, just like tigers are divided into Bengal tigers, South China tigers, and Siberian tigers. Although they are all tigers, their individual differences are actually very big.
The differences among harpies are even greater than among tigers. The ugly harpy that everyone usually recognizes should actually be called the black harpy. That kind of thing has gray-black feathers like a raven, and their bodies are also shriveled and ugly, like She was malnourished and had skin diseases like an old woman. That kind of harpy is a branch of the harpy family. It is quite large in number and very representative, but it is not all varieties.
In addition to the Black Eagle Banshee, there are actually at least six more branch species in the Harpy Banshee family, of which only two are more familiar to me. One is the Rainbow Banshee, and the other is the Birdwing Banshee.
The Rainbow Banshee is a relatively small-sized harpy. Their body is exactly the same as that of a human female. Their skin is fair and smooth, and their chest is full. If you don't look at other parts, this one is the same. The body alone is enough to make most men excited. However, the Rainbow Banshee's legs and wings are all standard bird structures, and bear no resemblance to humans. However, their wings and legs are not as ugly as the black eagle banshees, but are covered with rainbow-colored feathers. Not only are the colors of these feathers extremely gorgeous, but they also shine in seven colors under the sun. They are absolutely beautiful things. In addition, behind these rainbow banshees, there are three ribbon-like tails like phoenix tail wings. This tail is also colorful, and is more gorgeous than the wings. It is said that under the sun at certain angles, it will emit a beautiful light like a flame. In addition to these features, the head of the Rainbow Banshee is a rather special part. Their heads don't look like birds, but like human beings. They have the shape of human skulls. Their facial features are no different from human ones, except that their skin is much better than human beings. It's as white as mutton-fat jade, and it feels like pinching. It feels like you can squeeze out water. However, there is no hair on the top of their heads, but a kind of backward-sloping feathers begins to grow above the forehead. These feathers are piled together as if they are wearing a strange crown on the top of their heads, but it does not look ugly. very beautiful.
This rainbow banshee is not only beautiful, but also good at singing. Their vocal cords have a very wide range. Except for the male-like bass, which is a bit difficult to lower, the high notes can easily reach beyond the human hearing range. In fact, harpies use ultrasonic positioning just like bats, so they can emit ultrasonic waves. Using this ability to sing high notes is of course easy. However, what these banshees are best at is not solo singing, but harmony. When performing professionally, singers usually have dedicated voices singing harmony for them. The singing voices of these voices will be delayed a little bit later than the main vocals. Then the superposition of the voices of multiple voices will produce a vibrato effect. If they work well together, , even the a cappella singing is very moving.
The Rainbow Banshees are particularly good at this, and they also love music very much and are happy to assist others in singing harmony. The biggest reason why I know so much about this rainbow banshee is because these rainbow banshees are suitable for singing harmony.
Everyone knows that our Frost Rose Alliance has a band. Of course, this is not an ordinary band, but a band composed of magic musicians and war dancers. Bingbing is one of them. Her flute sound is not outstanding in single combat, but her battlefield support is very strong.
Because our guild has a special war band, in order to strengthen their abilities, we later specially hired a lot of rainbow banshees to assist them in their performances. Facts have proved that the effect is obvious, and they can play a full role on the battlefield. The effect of military brush status. With them here, the combat effectiveness of our army will increase by at least 50%.
In addition to these rainbow banshees who are better at singing than fighting, there is another kind of harpy that I am very familiar with, which is the bird-winged banshee.
The bird-winged banshee is a very large harpy, usually about 1.9 meters tall. There are only four places on their bodies that look like birds, and the rest of them look like birds. These four places are the head, wings, tail and claws.
Unlike the Rainbow Banshee, the Birdwing Banshee's head is entirely a bird's head, and it doesn't necessarily have to be the head of a bird. Some look like an eagle, some look like a sparrow, and they all look like anything. From the head down, starting from the neck, the bird-winged banshee has a completely feminine shape, and like the rainbow banshee, the bird-winged banshee has a very good figure and skin, which can even be said to be Let your imagination run wild. However, like the Rainbow Banshee, they have no arms. Their entire upper limbs are a pair of wide wings, and the shape of these wings is also based on their heads. Whatever bird the head is, the wings will be the same bird, including the tail and claws. Same thing.
The tail is something that humans don't have. Of course the bird-winged banshee has a bird tail, and it's usually not too small. After all, it needs to be used when flying.
Finally, there are the claws. The bird-winged banshee's thighs and calves are both human-shaped and have nothing to do with birds. They are extremely white and very slender. Not only are their lines graceful, but they are also full of strength and do not look thin. However, their ankles will quickly transform into bird claws instead of feet. This is their characteristic.
Both the bird-winged banshee and the rainbow banshee are both harpies, and both of their branches are relatively mild types. If you don't provoke them, they rarely attack on their own initiative, and their management is also good. , can communicate normally. However, most of the remaining harpies are actually of low intelligence and very violent.
These so-called harpies that Ashford just appeared are also a branch of harpies, and Ashford is obviously not very knowledgeable. He actually said they were ordinary harpies, but I found out that these are actually They are all noisy banshees.
The Noisy Banshee is not a noteworthy creature in itself, and its overall strength is very rubbish. Apart from being able to fly, it is almost useless. Moreover, these guys have low intelligence and like to bark randomly. The place where they gather is noisier than a duck shed, and they have a This kind of creature has an unpleasant smell and is definitely a very unpopular creature. However, few people know that the noisy banshee is actually not a simple species. Some of them will mutate after absorbing the breath of the underworld, and the product of their mutation is the famous Styx banshee. Some of them will even undergo secondary evolution and become the guardians of the Styx. It is a super creature, with extremely strong combat power and an aura. It is an absolute weapon in team battles and an expert in group fights.
"I really didn't expect it to be these things."
"Do you know him?" Ashford asked doubtfully.
Kristina shouted from below: "Stop chatting, hurry up and crawl forward. It will be troublesome if you are surrounded for a while. Although I can deal with these things easily, my magic power is not endless. !”
After hearing this, Ashford started to crawl forward, but I said to them: "You go first, I want to see if I can catch a few and take them back."
"Why do you bring such a disgusting thing?" Kristina asked.
"Don't look at how ugly they look now. That's because they haven't evolved completely. You are beautiful. When you were just born, weren't you still as wrinkled as a little old man?"
Humans are actually very ugly when they are born. Their skin is as wrinkled as that of a little old man, and their eyes are extremely big, just like Et. After half a month to a month, they start to gain weight after eating. , only then will the baby look very cute. This noisy banshee is actually just like a newborn baby that hasn't grown yet. As long as it evolves well, the top one will be a beauty and no more ugly than the angels. Of course, I am talking about the premature envoys of the Temple of Light, not counting the defective ones around Jehovah.
"I said Ziri, can you just concentrate on helping me complete the mission? These harpies won't suddenly migrate en masse. Can't you come back to catch them after you complete the mission?"
I heard it right. Now due to mission restrictions, the space door cannot be opened, and there is no place to put it after catching it. Although these harpies are smaller than human beings, they are still as big as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. It would be fine if you bring one or two, but you can't carry more than one. Moreover, the process of evolving this noisy banshee into the Styx banshee requires them to be exposed to the yin of the underworld first. Yin Qi is actually harmful to all living beings. It's just cold at first, then the body will gradually freeze, and then completely die. Although the Noisy Banshee can adapt to this cold atmosphere due to her physical constitution, her evolution rate is not 100%. In fact, her evolution rate is less than one-eighth. As for the Guardian of the Styx, that is a one-of-a-kind thing, absolutely rare.
Because of this evolution rate problem, if I want to ensure that I get a few Styx Banshees, I have to bring at least dozens of Noisy Banshees back with me. Otherwise, it is very likely that they will all die when the Yin Qi is smoked, and the result will be in vain. A lot of work.
Ashford is right. Anyway, these guys are here and they won't move easily, so I can catch them anytime I want, at least until I can open the space door.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll catch you when you finish the mission later. Let's get out of here first. Kristina's defense depends entirely on you. Everyone, speed up."
