Chapters 270 to 275, Escape for Life(3/3)
How come Cheng Kong guessed the truth in this moment?
I guess there is a barbaric city behind this pass, and after killing the bear goblin, I was naturally regarded as an invader.
This city should be relatively powerful, otherwise it would not have sent so many troops to hunt down just because of an invader.
It is impossible to escape the pursuit of those thunderbirds by flying by yourself!
With Cheng Kong's order, the little mantis jumped out of Cheng Kong's head and his body quickly grew bigger. In a blink of an eye, it turned from a small point the size of a finger into a giant mantis with a size of more than 30 meters.
Cheng Kong's wings closed and then pounced on the giant mantis' neck, holding the sharp protrusion on the giant mantis' neck tightly with both hands.
This is the first time Cheng Kong has seen the complete size of the giant mantis. It is too big, so Cheng Kong cannot sit firmly on it.
With a huh, the soft wings under the hard armor on the back of the giant mantis expanded, and were more than 60 meters long left and right. With the flapping of the soft wings, the giant mantis quickly turned into a green light and rushed into the sky, flying out of the rift.
The wolf cavalry below quickly gave up chasing. Their speed was very fast among the ground troops, but compared to the giant mantis, it was very slow.
Only the more than ten thunderbirds were chasing behind him. After the giant mantis was flying smoothly, Cheng Kong plucked up his courage, took off his big bow, and shot several arrows at the thunderbird behind him.
But in this changing airflow, the arrows shot by Cheng Kong did not even touch the edge of the thunderbird, and disappeared without a trace.
Although sniper crossbows can ignore any obstacles, for thunderbirds thousands of meters away, the arrows cannot even touch the edges, which is far beyond the range of the arrows.
The thunderbird also ignored the arrows that were blown away by the wind at the end. From time to time, lightning and current in the body rushed out, and a ray of lightning came out.
However, at this distance, the thunderbird's thunder and lightning was useless, and they could only chase the giant mantis' butt and land in the empty space.
I don’t know how far I flew, but the thunderbirds seemed to feel that they couldn’t catch up, so they flapped their wings and turned around and left. At this time, Cheng Kong breathed a sigh of relief.
The giant mantis immediately shrank its body, making Cheng Kong sit slightly more relaxed.
It was not until this time that Cheng Kong felt a stinging pain in his hands. When he raised his hands, he saw that his palms were worn out by the protrusion around the neck of the giant mantis.
There is no way, the giant mantis can only have the highest speed when it returns to its complete body. In this case, Cheng Kong doesn't care about so many, and it is normal for his hands to be worn out.
At this time, there was a mountain range under the giant mantis. He had previously fled along the mountain range to avoid being chased by those ground troops.
But at this time, Cheng Kong felt like he was lost.
I can't find the way back.
There is endless thatch on the left side of the mountain range, and there is a desert on the right side of the mountain range.
The mountains in this area have become relatively short and narrow, and can be seen with Cheng Kong's eyesight.
It seems that this escape has not been far away.
Cheng Kong simply lowered the height of the giant mantis and flew back along the mountain range towards Lai Lv. Although the mountain range should have several branches, it is still possible to find the way back.
Of course, Cheng Kong did not rule out looking for some treasure chests, biological nests and other things along the way, so as not to run so far and not get any benefits, which would be a bit of a loss.
When he was escaping, he was extremely fast. He ran from around 10 a.m. to noon. In this breath, he seemed to have been running for nearly four hours.
Although Cheng Kong does not have a timer, he has been staying here for a long time and looking at the sun, he can roughly infer the time.
It took four hours to escape, and this time I spent more time.
Cheng Kong's mind was mainly focused on finding treasure chests, but not long after flying, a battle appeared below.
Near a pile of wood, a group of people were fighting with three griffons and a group of raiders.
Is this? Wrong, those who hold exquisite bows and arrows are not the castle-type archers, but the tripole army forest elves in the fortress system!
Just looking at their erect pointed ears, their extremely handsome faces, long emerald green hair, slender figure, and the leaves of their bodies carefully woven from leaves, you can tell their identities.
They shot their arrows without fail. Not long after, the three griffins that rushed down from mid-air were shot dead on the spot. Before the spearmen who cooperated with them had approached, a rain of arrows flew over and shot the spearmen to the ground.
When the spearmen approached, the elves retreated and shot another rain of arrows.
After several times of this, more than fifty spearmen were shot to the ground by the elves.
Seeing this almost one-sided battle, Cheng Kong couldn't help but become curious, and then ordered the giant mantis to turn around and take a look.
Obviously, these forest elves had excellent eyesight. Cheng Kong just passed by them, and they ended their rest state, then took the bow and arrow in their hands, and his sharp eyes locked on the giant mantis still hovering in the air.
When the giant mantis returned again, the forest elves immediately pulled out their bows and arrows, and in a blink of an eye more than twenty arrows shot towards the air.
The elves shot very fast arrows. The first wave of arrows just left the string, and the second wave of arrows shot again.
Seeing the elves shoot arrows at him, Cheng Kong suppressed the giant mantis and wanted to go down to massacre.
Those arrows were simply impossible to hit him. Although the forest elves had extremely fast firing speed, twice that of archers, the height of the giant mantis in the air was no less than 100 meters.
No matter what, an arrow with a range of fifty or sixty meters is impossible to shoot to this height.
The result is exactly the same as what Cheng Kong inferred. The arrow flew to a height of less than half of the giant mantis and fell down, forming a parabola in the air.
The giant mantis continued to fly forward, and the elves chased after them for a while, and after they couldn't catch up, they returned to the pile of wood.
Obviously, these elves are the wild animals guarding the pile of wood.
And that pile of wood was a pile of wood essence. When he turned around on the pile of wood for the second time, Cheng Kong could already see clearly.
In this heroic world, the most exquisite archery technique should be the legendary phantom archers. It is said that they have the natural ability of sniper crossbows, can ignore any obstacles, shoot any enemy, and within the range, they will hit every shot and will never fail.
However, it is said that it is a legend, so Phantom Chargers rarely appear. In addition, it is recognized that the most elite archery technique is the Moon Elf of the Fortress system, and the forest elves guarding around those woody spirits will become the Moon Elf after evolution.
Therefore, the forest elves' archery skills are not much worse than those of the moon elves, but they are less in range and strength.
Cheng Kong let the giant mantis land on the ground and jumped down with a light support with his right hand.
Then the giant mantis shrank, turned into the size of a finger, jumped to the top of Cheng Kong's head and fell down.
Cheng Kong wanted to compete with those forest elves and take the pile of wood essence into his pocket.
When Cheng Kong approached the wooden pile a hundred meters, the forest elves showed a sense of vigilance and placed their hands on the bow and arrow behind them.
These elves are very alert!
When Cheng Kong saw this scene, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The range of these elves was only fifty or sixty meters, and he could easily detect movements within a hundred meters.
No wonder a team of forest elves with only twenty people were able to easily shoot three griffins and more than fifty spearmen.
Being able to detect enemies in advance has a great advantage for long-range troops.
If you want to fight head-on, more than twenty elves will be dispersed by griffons and approached by spearmen, and will be easily strangled, but the elves make good use of their speed and archery skills.
As a result, an elf was lost and the battle was resolved.
No wonder the fortress-based city is the most difficult city to break.
The elves with such archery skills, coupled with the tree demons and dwarves who are good at defending the city, are enough to make any enemy suffer in great pain.
As for Pegasus cavalry, unicorns, green dragons, it is quite good to use it to chase after the enemy collapses.
Since the other party discovered him, Cheng Kong no longer concealed himself. He stood up from the thatch, pulled the bow and pulled the string and shot it out with an arrow.
The elf locked by Cheng Kong's arrow immediately jumped backward, trying to avoid the arrow.
If other archers shot this arrow, the elf would definitely dodge.
But facing Cheng Kong's arrow, the elf's dodging movement was a little slower, and the arrow penetrated his thighs directly, and he whirled in pain and fell to the ground.
The companion was shot by cold arrows, which immediately aroused the anger of the elves. They rushed towards Cheng Kong with their bows and arrows.
There is no way, the location where Cheng Kong is about 100 meters away from them, which is far beyond their range, so they have to run quickly to narrow the distance between them. Otherwise, even if they shoot arrows, they will not be able to hit the other party.
They had already seen this in their previous shooting of the giant mantis.
Seeing the elves chasing, Cheng Kong couldn't help laughing, and shot another arrow, passing an elf through his chest, then turned around and retreated. After pulling a hundred meters away, Cheng Kong stood still and continued to shoot the arrow.
Obviously, Cheng Kong used the kite flying tricks used by the elves to deal with them, which made the elves seem a little overwhelmed.
After falling down several elves, the forest elves stopped and dared not pursue them again.
This is already very obvious. Cheng Kong used his range to fly kites and shoot elves whose range was not as good as his, so that the forest elves had no room for bows and arrows.
The elves gathered together, seemed to have discussed something, and then dispersed, forming a loose circle surrounding Cheng Kong.
In this process, Cheng Kong took the opportunity to seize the opportunity to shoot three elves to death.
