Path of light

Chapter 488 489. Sun Island Bay

In the sky, a group of griffin cavalry flew over the stalagmite forest.

Led by the village chief of Tiprado, this group of gryphon cavalry formed a line and then flew into the clouds.

A moment later, the gryphon cavalry fell from the thick clouds one after another.

After the griffins activated their 'Iron Will', they were like solid iron bullets, crashing down with an elite sound of breaking through the air.

The flying gravel formed a line and opened a avenue in the stalagmite forest.

The stalagmites that the griffins came into contact with turned into rubble, and the aftermath of the explosion destroyed a large area of ​​the surrounding stalagmite forest.

There was a series of roars, and the flying debris even cut a bloody mark on Roy's cheek.

This is the most powerful magic of the griffins. It completely turns the body into steel, and the moment it hits it, it looks like a giant cannonball...

Standing on the edge of the jungle, Roy looked at the scene of debris flying in front of him, and suddenly felt like he was in the era when a group of bombers dropped bombs in the air and carried out carpet bombing.

No wonder the gryphon is defined as a level four monster!

To be honest, the strength they usually display is far from that of level three monsters.

Although they have strong bodies and powerful flying abilities, most of the third-level monsters are actually much stronger than griffins.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the griffons are not even as good as some peak-level second-level monsters, such as crystallized lizards, crystal lions, and white rock rhinoceros.

Roy has always felt that the gryphon should be downgraded by one level in the Warcraft Encyclopedia.

But now, when he saw the griffons falling like cannonballs, razing a stalagmite forest to the ground, he immediately changed his view of these griffins...

Roy couldn't help but ask himself:

If this type of air strike is not powerful, then what kind of air strike is powerful?

Roy faced the dust everywhere and stepped into the stone path opened by the gryphon cavalry...

After the end of Iron Will, the griffins crawled out of the stone pit, looking a little weak...

The griffin cavalry pulled the reins and pulled them out of the stone pit, trying to get them to fly into the sky again.

Roy found the disgraced Kaka in the choking dust. Kaka was comforting the adult griffon next to him. It could be seen that casting a magic like 'Iron Will' was very taxing on its body. It didn't even have any energy for the time being. Way to fly.

Roy walked up to Kaka. Kaka's face was covered with a dust-proof silk scarf. He turned to Roy and smiled bitterly and said:

"Haven't you always wanted to know why we can't defeat the group of fishmen on the coastline even though we have these griffons?"

He turned around and stroked the gryphon that was in a weak state, and then said:

"Here's the answer. When we air raid the murloc village, although we can inflict heavy damage to the murlocs to a certain extent, we will also fall into a tight siege by the murlocs. Those guys are not afraid of death at all and rush towards us from all directions. It’s hard to resist…”

"These fish-man spirits have now occupied the entire coastline of Sun Island Bay. The mixed-blood elves in the jungle here usually cannot go to Sun Island Bay to fish, so they can only stay in this jungle. If they usually hunt, except for the griffon barrier Beyond the mountains, there is the black water swamp to the east.”

Roy walked to the griffin, looked at its weak state, and asked Kaka: "Did they drain all the magic power from the body, causing the body to fall into a weak state?"

Kaka thought about it seriously and said, "That's almost it."

Roy walked around the griffin, stared at the saddle on the griffin, and then said to Kaka:

"Then have you ever thought about it, if the griffins' own magic power is not enough to support them to use 'Iron Will', then why can't we help them, for example, when they use 'Iron Will', use external force to let the magic power Continuously pouring into their bodies, so that they may not fall into extreme weakness!”

Kaka's eyes lit up, and then he said sadly:

"You mean to put the griffons in magic patterns? This is indeed a good idea, but the magic patterns are too expensive, and we don't even have access to purchase them..."

Roy quickly corrected: "I'm not talking about putting a set of magic patterns on the griffin, I'm talking about installing a gem base on the saddle, and then engraving the simplest magic pattern of mana conversion, so that The magic pattern array on the saddle converts the energy on the magic crystal into magic power and sends it into the bodies of the griffins. You can use the saddle as a gemstone base, and the griffon itself is a magic pattern array. ”

"Roy, the method you mentioned seems to work..." Kaka's eyes became bright and he said to Roy excitedly.

"Wait while we are talking about this, let's go and see how the tunnel is being dug!"

Roy put one hand on Kaka's shoulder, hugged him and walked along the tunnel to the bottom of the cliff.

Walking in this passage that was nearly ten meters wide, the griffins that I saw seemed to be in a weak stage. The mixed-blood elf cavalry stood beside the griffins and kept comforting them.

This road is made up of one big pit after another, but this is not a problem for Roy. He just waits for the mixed elf warrior to slip down from the top of the cliff and gather people to pave the road again. .

Along the way, Roy even thought of a brand new way of fighting.

However, whether this tactic can be realized depends on whether the griffins can recover quickly...

…

The mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard group prepared thirty ropes on the cliff, and they quickly slid down from the top to the bottom of the cliff.

The mixed-blood elf warrior who was the first to reach the bottom of the valley immediately began to clear the road in the stalagmite forest...

Passing through this stalagmite forest, the mine guard group entered a dense forest.

This is the dense forest to the west of Sun Island Bay. Sun Island Bay is like the Bohai Bay shrunk countless times. This sea area is surrounded by land on three sides, and only the south is connected to the sea.

There is a round island in the middle of this sea area, which is called Sun Island by the mixed elves, so this bay is also called Sun Island Bay by the mixed elves.

This dense forest is very vast. In addition to being closely connected with the fault zone here, if you walk a few dozen kilometers to the east, you will see that there is the southern foot of the Griffin Barrier Mountains. Along the southern foot of the mountain, you can look eastward for hundreds of miles. There are dense forests like this for kilometers.

The jungle here is a bit hot and humid. When there is no wind, the air you breathe feels salty and moldy.

The trees in the forest were covered with moss, and many of the trees began to rot before they even withered. Some broken and fallen trees could be seen everywhere in the jungle.

There are not many weeds in the forest, and it is covered with moss, wet and slippery.

There are thick ferns here, and some parasitic tree vines are also closely connected with some big trees, completely blocking the ground...

Kaka's village is in this jungle, but it's a little far away from the pass here.

As the team walked out of the stalagmite forest, Roy asked the mixed-blood elf warriors to clear a large empty space at the edge of the jungle. When the mixed-blood elf warriors behind them hurriedly arrived, they took out a bag from their backpacks with little need for Roy's instructions. Set up a tent and quickly set up camp on the edge of the jungle.

The elves like this kind of dense jungle where the sun is not visible, and they have been traveling for several days. At this time, they camped in the jungle to rest, and every mixed-blood elf warrior had a happy face.

…

While the mixed-blood elf warriors set up tents, Roy did not stay in the camp to rest. He was carried by Kaka's griffon and flew directly to the beach of Sun Island Bay.

This jungle is actually very vast. If the mine guard team wants to walk through the jungle from the stalagmite forest to the beach of Sun Island Bay, it will take at least two days of hiking to see the sea.

The jungle vegetation becomes denser as you go south.

The blue sea in the distance looks like a piece of clean blue glass when viewed from a high altitude.

The shape of the entire sea surface is somewhat similar to a shell, and the long coastline presents a perfect arc. The coastline is composed of white sandy beaches. On these beaches, Roy saw some fish-man monsters who built tall thatch Houses are scattered almost along the entire coastline.

As for those fish-men and monsters, they can be seen everywhere.

According to Kaka, this group of murlocs originally lived on Sun Island. However, in the sea here, they have almost no natural enemies. However, there are rich fishery resources. The murlocs do not hesitate to worry about food. In this way, Since then, fish-man monsters with strong reproductive capabilities have developed rapidly on Sun Island.

Then these fish-man spirits slowly spread to the surrounding sea areas and gradually occupied the coastline of Sun Island Bay.

The fighting power of these murlocs is far less powerful than that of mixed elves, and because they belong to the demi-human race, the intelligence of adult murlocs is only that of a seven or eight-year-old child. Their lives are purely dominated by desire...

These murlocs don't even have a language of their own race.

They even lived in caves on Sun Island, and only when they reached the edge of the coastline did they learn to build thatched houses...

…

In fact, Roy had seen this kind of fish-man spirit on the Queen Egwene Islands...

Although the appearance of the murlocs here is somewhat different from that of the endless sea, only the colors of their scales are slightly different, but some of their characteristics are exactly the same.

They go to the sea to fish every day. As long as they catch enough to eat, they will walk out of the sea carrying the fish and start enjoying their leisure time...

These fish-man monsters all have fish bodies, but they also have thin limbs, their bodies are covered with scales, their mouths are full of sharp teeth, and there are even fish gills on their faces.

The murlocs on the beach are sitting in groups on the beach, looking very alive.

When those murlocs walked on the beach, they almost always swayed and walked very slowly. But when they walked into the sea, their hands and feet immediately opened up and turned into flippers, allowing them to swim freely in the sea. …

Roy sat behind Kaka and asked, "Are you just helpless because of these fish-man monsters?"

"We have tried several methods, but with little success. There is no way! There are too many of them..." Kaka said feebly.

"Is this coastline so long that almost all of it is occupied by these fish-man spirits?" Roy asked again.

"Well, all the coastline is in the hands of the fish-man spirits..."

…

Kaka carried Roy flying at low altitude. Those fish-man spirits knew these griffins. After seeing the griffins, they immediately climbed up to the attic and roof of the observation deck, picked up the weapons in their hands, and pointed at them. Kaka and Griffin threw over.

Kaka immediately pulled the reins to let the griffon fly higher...

The griffons flapped their wings vigorously and flew upwards, successfully avoiding the wooden harpoons thrown from the hands of the fish-men and monsters.

When some murlocs saw Kaka flying high into the sky, they immediately climbed to the observation deck and the roof. These murlocs showed a ferocious look, constantly grinning their mouths full of sharp teeth, and raised the short flying spears in their hands and kept firing. Taunts the Half-Elf Cavalry.

The body of the fish-man's stainless steel is covered with a layer of scales, which sparkle in the sunlight.

They are not afraid of the mixed elves at all. When they see the griffin cavalry of the mixed elves, they can even take the initiative to fight back...

After investigating the situation near the beach, Roy and Kaka returned to the temporary camp on the edge of the jungle.

After stepping off the gryphon, Roy turned around and said to Kaka:

"We'll be here for two days to recuperate and then head to the beach..."

Roy said this, and Kaka had no objection.

…

The mine guard group spent two days repairing in the camp on the edge of the dense forest.

In the past two days, the mixed elves not only carved out a road in the stalagmite forest, but even fixed the rope on the cliff.

Roy then led the mine guards to pack up the camp tents and took the lead into the dense forest.

Thanks to the gryphon cavalry transporting supplies, Roy's mine guards did not lack any supplies.

Sure enough, as Roy expected, it took the mixed elf warriors two days to pass through the dense forest. They did not station blatantly at the edge of the coastline, but stationed themselves in the jungle.

Then Roy led a group of mixed-blood elves to get closer to observe these fish-man spirits. They passed through a bush and immediately saw the silver beach through the dense branches and leaves.

Those murlocs are walking back and forth on the beach...

Although they belong to the demi-human species, they have no problem with their hearing. They heard some noises in the jungle and immediately sent two murlocs to come over. The two murlocs were walking in the grass. Very strenuous.

But I still came step by step.

A group of fish-man spirits saw the tent hidden behind the trees and immediately made some low calls.

Then these fish-men and monsters could no longer control themselves. They pulled out the weapons from their waists and rushed towards Roy's camp...

Roy was startled by the killing cries from these fish-man spirits. When he turned around and got out of the tent, he saw a group of fish-men spirits rushing towards him. The mixed-blood elf warriors also drew their swords and shields one after another, and both sides immediately Fight together.
