Chapter 214 051: The Harpy and the Banshee's Wail
"Look, harpies!" At this moment, Richard pointed in a direction.
When Luo Xi looked over there, he saw several strange humanoid creatures appearing in the forest.
Their facial appearance was at the level of ordinary human women, and their facial features were even more beautiful. Their uniform bright silver hair was particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and their fair skin was like the first snow, which was very charming overall.
However, their bodies were in the form of wild beasts, with thick feathers covering their curvy bodies, and even their feet were eagle claws, which looked very aggressive.
"Harpies..." Luo Xi couldn't help but look at them carefully.
Harpies are relatively high-end magical creatures in the wizard world, and because they have strong mental power and their bodies are very compatible with the elements, they can produce extraordinary effects when combined with wizards' magic. They are one of the most suitable magical creatures as wizards' pets.
The price of a harpy in the market basically starts at one million magic stones, and many times there is still no market for it.
The reason why it is sold so expensive is not only because the harpy itself is powerful and difficult to capture, but also because the cost of cultivating it into a magic pet is too high.
The harpy is an atmospheric creature. Like other atmospheric creatures, it can only survive in the sky world. If it goes to land, its "floating" will be broken and die.
Because of this, in order to cultivate a harpy's magic pet, a lot of magical transformation must be done to its body, so that its body can adapt to the environment on land and replace the floating in the body with other organs.
And the harpy is fierce and brutal. To cultivate a magic pet, it can only start from the cub. The harpy is a social animal. It is not easy to hunt a cub among a group of wizard-level magic creatures.
"Be careful, these things are out, their temper is not very good, and they may think we are going to invade them when they see us passing by here. Put this on to avoid being hurt by their banshee wailing later."
As Richard said this, he took out two earmuffs from the space ring and handed one to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi took the earmuffs and put them on his ears. He didn't know what material they were made of, but the sound insulation effect was surprisingly good. After putting them on, Luo Xi was surprised to find that he couldn't hear any sound from outside.
He was about to ask Richard, but at this time Richard pointed to the sky in the distance and said something with his mouth open. He took off the earmuffs and heard him say: "Look over there."
Luo Xi turned his head and saw more and more harpies flying out from the floating island in the distance, and gathered in groups in the sky on both sides of the airship. Luo Xi glanced at them and saw at least hundreds of them.
After these harpies came out, they began to scream at the airship with their mouths wide open.
The piercing screams were like invisible swords, piercing directly into the human brain. Luo Xi instantly felt a mental pain. His face changed, and he quickly put on the earmuffs that Richard had just given him.
However, even this kind of earmuffs with amazing soundproofing effect seemed unable to completely isolate the sound of the harpy. Luo Xi still heard some screams, but there was no mental tingling like before. It was just like ordinary screams, but it made people feel noisy.
‘Is this the banshee’s wail? What a terrifying power’
He had seen records about the banshee’s wail in the book. This is the unique talent of the harpy. It has a very strong mental attack. It is said that even ordinary wizards can hardly resist it.
Luo Xi’s soul tempering degree has exceeded 50%, and his own mental defense power is extraordinary. However, he still felt uncomfortable just now, which shows how powerful the harpy’s wail is.
The attack is still continuing.
The terrifying power of the wail of hundreds of harpies at the same time was fully displayed at this moment. The powerful sound waves even formed visible sound waves in the air, and waves of ripples hit the airship like waves.
For a moment, the airship was like a ship caught in a storm, swaying and swaying under the attack of the sound waves.
The airship's defense magic has been fully activated, and the bubble-like membrane has opened outward to protect the airship firmly. If not, the airship would have been annihilated into powder in the violent sound waves.
Such sound waves lasted for more than ten minutes, and finally quieted down after the airship completely drove out of the floating island area.
After flying for a while, Richard patted Luo Xi's shoulder and signaled him to take off his earmuffs.
Richard asked: "How is it, haven't you seen such a scene before?"
Luo Xi nodded: "It's hard to see harpies on land, and there are so many harpies. The power of the harpies' wailing has been experienced. No wonder they sounded the alarm and asked us to go back to the cabin, but can the cabin withstand such wailing?"
Richard explained: "There are special soundproofing measures in the cabin, and the sound has to go through several layers of protection to reach the cabin. The effect is almost the same as silent earmuffs."
Luo Xi said: "I see."
After chatting for a while at the stern, Luo Xi learned that Richard was 20 years old this year, a little older than him. It has been five years since he started to become a wizard, and he is just stuck at the threshold of Misera's maze.
He said that the wizards who agreed to the request on this airship are basically in the same situation as him. They are basically from wizard families, relying purely on the strength of massive resources. Luo Xi is the only one who has been promoted to a wizard in five years purely through his own practice.
After listening to Richard's story, Luo Xi also had to sigh at the gap in identity in the wizard world. He thought that pure-blooded people like Jeffrey were already outstanding, but compared with these real wizard families, it was really nothing.
The goal that countless apprentices have struggled to achieve in their entire lives can be achieved in just five years in front of these wizard families. If I don’t have the help of the system, I’m afraid I will never be able to achieve this level of achievement in my lifetime.
“Is this the advantage brought by bloodline?”
The further you go on the wizard’s road, the more resources you need, and the more you go on, the greater the differences between wizards will be.
Although wizards are the goal that countless apprentices must strive for, looking at the long wizard road, it is actually just the beginning of the wizard road...
