Chapter 689 690. Taste
Nearly five hundred corpses of wind snakes were placed on the deck of the ship. The blood flowing from the bodies of the wind snakes had condensed into black-purple blood scabs. Some of the blood seeped into the gaps in the deck, and the entire deck exuded a kind of A strong fishy smell.
Rather than saying that these wind snakes died in the hands of mixed-blood elves, it was better to say that they died in the high-altitude suppression of the magic airship and the rain of magic arrows that were free of charge.
They are a group of third-level monsters that like to live in groups. They usually live in the Stone Pillar Forest. As long as they hide in the Stone Pillar Forest, even the griffons can't do anything to them.
There is a fist-sized black leather magic core in the skull of each wind snake. All the magic cores were disassembled and packed into a whole box.
When you take this back, you have to grind off the hard skin on the surface, and inside are the magic crystals with various properties. Generally, most of the magic crystals produced by wind snakes are wind-attributed magic crystals, which are pure white. Translucent crystal.
Apart from magic crystals, the most valuable thing on these wind snakes is the wind snake leather.
Unfortunately, almost every wind snake's leather has several arrow holes, and the value must be at least half. Some leathers are seriously damaged, and the price may be further reduced.
These wind snakes were transported back to the ship, and several griffin cavalry began to process these monster materials. They were all very experienced hunters and knew how to deal with these wind snakes.
In addition to possessing some magic materials, wind snakes' meat is the griffins' favorite food.
Therefore, the gryphon cavalry dried the skinned and gutted wind snakes on the clothesline at the tail of the magic airship, strips like dried eels.
Roy rarely saw elves handling meat other than fish. He didn't expect them to be very skillful in handling these wind snakes...
After being hunted by the griffin cavalry, the wind snakes in the entire stone pillar forest hid in stone crevices or cliff lairs. No matter how the griffin cavalry flew in the stone pillar forest, these wind snakes did not dare to escape. Come out...
This hunting in the Stone Pillar Forest has just come to an end.
Then the magic airships returned to the sea one after another...
The hunt was a complete success, but the members of the Zakarum Adventure Group could only stand on the deck of the magic airship and watch the battle.
Only Sabrina rode a white griffon and led a group of griffin cavalry to hunt wind snakes in the pillar forest, which made everyone envious...
Woods even squeezed into Roy's side, put his arm around his shoulders and whispered to him: 'Roy, let me join the Griffin Cavalry anytime. I also want to raise a Griffin and try the taste of flying. ’
‘If you want to become an animal trainer, you need to accept a series of tests from the Griffin Cavalry Regiment. Are you sure you can persevere? ’ Roy asked Woods.
'Were those tests difficult? ’
‘It’s probably a little more difficult than your practice of Owl Transfiguration. ’ Roy responded.
Woods immediately backed down, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter whether I can fly or not. I'm actually a little afraid of heights." ’
The gryphon cavalry did not continue to explore north. It is said that after flying over the Stone Pillar Forest, the north of the Stone Pillar Forest is an endless virgin forest, where there are often some high-level monsters above level five. These monsters have a strong sense of territory. They will Attack all trespassers.
Having completed so many hunts in the Dark Land with the Archmage Grimes, he still has a very good understanding of the strength of advanced Warcraft above level five.
Roy knew that even if the mixed-blood elf warriors of the mine guard group were equipped with high-end magic protective gear and weapons made by the Silver Moon elves, and the team had magic airships for supplies and gryphon cavalry for air support, it would not be able to make up for it. The gap in combat power between the two.
He didn't dare to provoke level five monsters, so Roy didn't want to take risks in that monster forest...
At this time, Roy couldn't help but think of the great magician Grimes.
If he were here, then Roy would really dare to try his luck in this forest...
Now! All is off the table.
Calculating carefully, Roy has been separated from the Archmage Grimes for nearly two months.
If he wasn't going to sea with the ship, Roy should go to Waupeye City at this time.
The design drawings of his thick leather armor made of frost dragon leather and the magic pattern array should probably be completed.
As long as these magic pattern arrays are engraved on the thick leather armor, a brand new magic pattern structure will be initially completed...
From here on, the coastline has undergone some changes. The white sandy beach has been replaced by coastal cliffs more than ten meters high. At the same time, the coastline extends to the west-northwest, and the sea here is wider.
Roy prepared to continue exploring northwest along the coastline.
After all, the sea monster Jiezena reminded them that this sea area has been occupied by several sea beast priests. Once their fleet accidentally breaks into the territory of the sea beast priests, it is likely to anger these sea beast priests...
In order to avoid this unnecessary conflict, Roy led the fleet and continued along the coastline...
……
The biggest advantage of taking a sailing boat to explore is that everyone can rest leisurely on the boat, and the journey will not be very tiring...
After leaving the Stone Pillar Forest area, there are gradually more fjords on the edge of the coastline. There are many traces left after the disappearance of glaciers on both sides of the canyons. Some canyons can be used as natural havens.
When night falls, the griffin cavalry will find a safe haven near the fleet.
All the magic airships gathered together, and some mixed-blood elf guard warriors even disembarked and climbed directly over the cliffs to the flat areas at the top of the cliffs, which were mostly covered with a layer of soft moss and grass.
The Elf Guard warriors like to set up simple tents on the grass to rest. These tents are filled with the fragrance of wild grass.
This is also the first time in the past few days that everyone has disembarked and relaxed after leaving Sun Island Bay...
Hundreds of tents were set up on the greenery on the cliff tops of the coastline, and there were even some elven warriors gathering around in front of the tents to grill fish.
When night came, waves of sea breeze blew in, blowing away the scorching heat.
Everyone sat on a boulder outside the tent.
Moira secretly complained to Roy: This Zakarum Adventure Group's adventure trip was a bit boring. They spent the whole day on the boat watching the sea, and there was nothing else to do...
Roy couldn't help but pinch Moira's pink cheeks.
Her face is very elastic and soft. Roy likes to see her shy look...
Since Woods gave up being a griffin cavalry, he has become a young druid who likes to study magical herbs.
He told Roy: Excessive catching of wind snakes will cause changes in the ecology of the Stone Pillar Forest.
Every time you hunt wind snakes, it is best to reduce the number of wind snakes to a minimum, and then ignore these wind snakes as much as possible, allowing their populations to gradually recover before organizing hunting...
Roy knew that this behavior of allowing the Warcraft population to grow and then look for opportunities to hunt is called 'pig farming'.
He was very happy to have such a hunting ground outside Sun Island Bay...
Miss Tiffany was lying on the grass next to Moira. She smashed a water ball on her face to keep the moisture on the surface of her skin... Miss Mermaid's skin has no sweat glands or hairs, so her skin is extremely smooth and delicate. , but this kind of skin also has disadvantages, that is, it needs to be kept hydrated at all times.
She has also been very busy in the past few days. She usually swims alone in the waters near the fleet. Only at night will she sit with everyone and chat. She will always monitor the movements in the sea to ensure that the fleet will not be attacked by sea monsters. The priests attack...
In fact, Miss Tiffany also felt very strange these past two days, because the surrounding sea seemed very quiet. After swimming in the sea for so many days, Miss Tiffany could not see even a fish-man spirit in the sea.
This sea area is obviously very close to the sea area of the sea beast priests, but there is not even a shadow of the fishman spirit here, which is very abnormal in itself...
You must know that the living areas of murlocs are shallow waters and beaches on the coastline. Many murlocs live like amphibious toads.
Although the coastline here is of a stone cliff nature, there are no fish-man monsters under the cliff, which is a bit unreasonable.
Claire is the only elf in the Zakarum adventure group who has no intention of exploring.
The purpose of his outdoor adventure with everyone this time was to discuss music with Roy. Recently, he has not released any representative songs. Many music critics in Buenos City have expressed their disapproval of Claire. All hold a negative attitude.
Claire gave up everything she was doing this time and went to the Partington plane to participate in the adventure group's experience adventure just because she wanted to talk about music with Roy.
In fact, Roy was quite speechless. When the two of them were at the Elf Academy, they were restless students who fought and fought together. They originally composed the song "Blue Dane River" just for fun, but unexpectedly, Claire was given the opportunity to play music. Never look back...
Seeing Claire approaching, Moira wisely returned to her sister to tease the white griffon.
"Roy, I've been thinking about what you mean by listening to the sounds of nature. In fact, I can also hear many melodies, but these melodies are far less infectious and colorful than the melodies you hear. ” Claire complained to Roy.
He was holding a notebook for recording music, which was full of music symbols. Roy felt a little dizzy just by looking at it.
"Then you might as well try to fall in love. Only by savoring life carefully can you see the happy notes in life..."
Roy quickly poured some chicken soup for his soul into his best friend.
Others were also listening to Roy's words quietly...
Roy took a deep breath and said to Claire:
"First of all, you have to calm down completely, empty your mind and feel the surroundings. For example, I can feel countless particles of holy light floating around my body, I can see the direction of the wind around me, and I can also see stars in the night sky. With the falling beam of light, I can hear Moira's heartbeat like a drum..."
Moira and Sabrina sat back to back. Moira's face turned red when she heard Roy talking about her.
The waves are constantly hitting the sea rocks, and the sea under the starry sky is extremely deep...
Sabrina and Moira were sitting back to back on the grass, which reminded Roy of Kikyo and A Li. He couldn't help but blush, and said to his friend bravely:
"Claire, listen carefully...that is the sound of the free wind pushing the waves against the rocks on the shore..."
"Uh?"
Of course Claire could hear the sound of the waves, but he didn't understand what Roy wanted to express. Just when Claire was stunned, Roy started humming with his mouth. In fact, his humming was very bad, and there was no instrument around him to accompany him. The soft humming sound was still very raw at first, but then it gradually gained some feeling.
Everyone remained silent and listened quietly to Roy humming tunes of great nostalgia and nostalgia...
Roy hummed this tune completely because he remembered it very well.
"Roy, does this melody have a name?" Claire wrote the melody in a notebook with a pen, and then couldn't help but ask Roy.
"Love across time and space."
Roy didn't let Claire come up with any weird names.
When he said this, his throat was a little dry and his voice was trembling.
Unknowingly, he has lived in the elf world for so long that he has almost forgotten all his previous memories.
The evening gathering ended in such a slightly sad atmosphere.
Roy got into the tent and lay down in his sleeping bag, still unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The sea breeze blew in through the tent curtains, and also carried the whispers of Moira and Tiffany in the tent next door.
There was a faint light coming from Claire's tent, and it was estimated that he would not be able to sleep that night.
……
In the cabin of the magic airship, Leah and Alice sat side by side, with their four white little feet stretched into the same wooden basin.
Two people are washing their feet.
The ship was stationary, and there were occasional conversations among the crew on the deck outside.
"Alice, I want to talk to Roy and join their adventure group. You see, all his friends are young elves. There is no reason not to accept us." Leia whispered to her sister.
"I heard that these friends of his are all classmates who graduated from the same college, and they are usually very close, so they formed this adventure group."
Alice said worriedly.
"As long as we prove that we are not a burden and can help him, he shouldn't reject us!"
Leah says this every time.
Hearing Leah say this, Alice became even more worried: "But we have been out of the dark place for so long, and I find that we have not been able to help him even once."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Leah was also a little sluggish and started to think about what happened recently, as if it really didn't happen.
The two were talking quietly in the room, when Leah suddenly squinted her eyes. She squinted her eyes, like a kitten that smelled the scent of fish, wrinkled her little nose and smelled everywhere.
"Leah, what's wrong with you?" Alice asked doubtfully.
"I should smell the smell of darkness, although the smell is very light..."
While talking, Leah stepped out of the basin with bare feet, leaving a line of water stains on the floor with her wet feet. Leah came to the window and pushed open the cabin window, and a smelly sea breeze blew into the room. Inside, in the humid sea breeze, the faint dark atmosphere became more obvious.
This sea breeze is blowing from the sea.
Liya looked in the direction where the sea breeze was blowing, and quickly followed the window to the observation deck on the top of the ship.
