Chapter 123 48.
The team of the Lord of the Heavens went all the way south, and the next day they passed by a small satellite city that once belonged to Taranxra. There were no city walls, no hatching ponds, only a few high bridges for breeding pterosaurs, and now they have all collapsed.
The team found a large number of stone slabs in the secret room of a broken pyramid. The contents on the stone slabs were somewhat useless from a practical point of view in Umak, Darkus, but they were still somewhat useful to the lizardman society. After all, it is still good to preserve tradition, except of course the dross.
It records how the ancient saint Taranxila was respected by the lizard people society. Every four years, Taranxila will hold a grand festival to celebrate her. The celebration usually lasts for two months, and detailed records are recorded. The steps are held, including many ceremonial flights.
Pterodactyl riders from various temple cities will form teams to show off and compete in the festival, performing various complicated and fancy flying stunts and competitions, and the ace pterodactyl rider will be selected in the performances and competitions.
The event also attracts many Skink tourists and pilgrims from other temple cities, and sometimes Slann will teleport over to watch the ceremony. Some skink priests claimed to be coming to Taranxila to pay homage to her, but most of them wanted to watch the performances and competitions that excited the lizards' hearts.
But these all ended with the arrival of the Great Invasion, and the temple city of Talanxra was destroyed. This grand event never appeared again in the lizardman society that was entering a slow death.
"What World Cup and Air Show Festival? Are there any kicks for sale?"
"Bring them with you! You have to follow the steps on the slate when it is held again in the future." Darkus sincerely hopes that this festival will be silent for thousands of people. The continent of Lustria has once again reappeared in 2008. If this city, which was evaluated at the lowest value in his grand plan, can hold a grand festival again, it means that the continent of Lustria has really revived again! There is a glimmer of hope for the future!
Tzeentch might like this change.
"Thank you to the ancient saint for your gift! Let's eat snake soup tonight!" Darkus stood next to the corpse of the Amazon python and made a great decision.
Franais, Baine, and Tiga had already begun to use their spears and halberds to cut the body of the Amazon python. They inserted their halberds and spears into the scales of the Amazon python and started pushing hard.
"Stop just looking around, go help." Darkus waved to the giant lizard Kami and said.
Kami, the grass python hero giant lizard, was still standing stupidly at this moment. After hearing Darkus's instructions, he started to move and walked next to Franais to help push Quiteli's halberd. His presence saved Franais a lot of energy, and he cut through butter as quickly as a butter knife, and he got smarter and smarter, always cutting with the blade of his halberd. He seemed to know that cutting with a sharp halberd blade was quicker than pushing with his brute force.
The cold lizards and the giant beasts gathered around the Amazon python body and whispered, drooling and neighing in low voices. They couldn't wait to eat. If it weren't for the scales of the Amazon python that they couldn't bite, they would have started to show off.
The pterosaurs patrolling in the sky also began to land far away from the giant beasts one after another, and were waiting on alert for the leftover meat that the giant beasts had eaten, just like the vultures.
Now Darkus' team is full of factions and mountains. The funny thing is that this mountain is not within Druchi, or between Druchi and the lizard people, or between the biological robots following the big plan. .
Rather, they are among the comical giants. They will unite around Darkus, the ruler of the ancient Holy Triangle and the god Iqi Umak, but they also have corresponding contradictions, such as species, gender, habits and individual differences.
Fortunately, there is the big guy, a relatively smart giant-horned cold lizard, who can restrain those stupid little naughties. Either the cold lizards have already started fighting with the giant beasts, and the giants who have enough to eat and drink are The beasts will not take the initiative to attack the cold lizards under the face and restraint of Darkus.
Similarly, pterosaurs do not have the knowledge to land next to giant beasts. The relationship between pterosaurs and Lustrian giant beasts is extremely unfriendly, because untamed wild pterosaurs usually feed on the eggs of giant beasts, and they will fly at ultra-low altitudes. The posture is to attack the giant beast's lair in the wild, and then pull it high into the air to drop the eggs and break them into pieces to eat.
Except for the furry ancient triceratops, the giant beasts in the team are all wild. Most of them really have a grudge against the pterosaurs! Just for the sake of Darkus, a dump truck might have attacked the pterodactyl that landed on the ground by now, and he couldn't even think about having fun together as a family.
Fortunately, the cave dragon is neutral in the team. It only obeys the instructions of the Skink Seer.
"Maybe this is life? I don't have to do whatever I want." Darkus looked at Kalien jumping off the pterosaur in the distance and shook his head in thought.
As for this Amazon giant python, it is a bit puzzling. When it was wandering in the Amazon River, it was discovered and warned by Kalion in the sky. Because it is nearly 25 meters long and has the tendency to become a spirit, it is particularly obvious when observed in the sky when wandering in the Amazon River. Anyone who is not blind can see it.
After receiving the warning, Darkus' team still chose to go south along the Amazon River. They originally didn't want to provoke the Amazon python. They couldn't provoke it even if they wanted to. They couldn't go down to the river to fight it on its home ground. Good guy, it ended up doing it on its own. Maybe it was the scales on its body or the snake god Sotek who gave it confidence?
Then there was nothing more. Under the siege of the team, the scene was extremely bloodless, because the scales of this Amazon python were a little thick, and it could only hit with raw and pure force. There is no room for the ancient Triceratops to accelerate its activation, but the Eternal Glory Heliometer on the combat platform has been operating. With the blessing of magical effects, the lizardman's weapons did not break through the Amazon python's defense.
But Darkus estimated that it must have suffered serious internal injuries. Finally, Kami, the grass python hero giant lizard, jumped into the air and slapped its head hard with the Osinite stone crescent shovel to complete the end. A giant on the Amazon River disappeared inexplicably.
The battle progressed very quickly. Franais and Baine, who were able to break through defenses, were in the center of the team. When they came over, they had no attack position, so Diga used the low-end version of the Lord God Taranxla's war spear to stab them. A few times.
"We're not leaving today. We're going to set up camp. We'll peel off all its scales. If the skull isn't deformed, we can make a flag for the lizard people or something like that. Then we'll see if there's anything good about this stupid snake." Darkus also specifically asked Akadan before giving the order. He did not choose to ask Chupa Coco because Chupa Coco had never been to the south of Lustria.
At this time, Akadan and the cave dragon are already feasting on snake meat, and they are getting something like the snake god is the snake god, and the snake is a snake. After replying that His followers were lizardmen, not snakes, Darkus began to give instructions.
During the next journey, Darkus finally understood the meaning of Tarancilla's name "City in the Sky" and also understood why the Flying Festival was held here. It's not because Taranxra can float in mid-air like a suspended pyramid, nor is it the floating city of the Netheril Empire in DND or Dalaran in WOW.
But there are so many pterosaurs in the south of Tarancsla, and the sky is full of hovering pterosaurs. Darkus made the big guy stop and started to stop and watch.
"My ancient saint! Sir, there must be five or six hundred of them." Walter pointed at the pterosaurs in the sky and said with an expression of surprise.
In other words, except for specific and special professions, other Druchi's beliefs are really flexible. It has been almost a year since he came to Lustria, and Walter no longer follows the crowd and believes in Kane, but begins to believe in the Ancient Saint! But when asked which ancient saint he believed in specifically, he shook his head at a loss and said he didn't know.
"This is just what you can see, there should be more in reality!" Franais, who usually rarely speaks, also began to express his opinions.
"They are all good things, but where can we find so many trainers and riders? And letting them all ride pterosaurs, I feel like it is a waste of resources." Renne has recovered recently, but he is not ready now He didn’t have a notebook to record things anymore. "What if Carlion's helmet could be copied in batches? It doesn't require holographic vision. It only needs to expand the range of the trainer's empathy. Then the trainer can control a team of pterosaurs within a certain range!" These words It was Elmir who said it.
Kalien in the sky is extremely confident, and he is not afraid of groups of pterosaurs attacking him. He has already begun to fly into the pile of pterosaurs.
"Yes! I think we can actually design a frame on the back of the pterosaur to carry a harpoon crossbow for air and ground shooting." Renn and his wife began to sing and show off.
Alyssa did not participate in the discussion. After studying the theory and specific manipulation of magic for half a year with the most powerful mage in the world, her magic level has improved a lot. She has been exercising her Gu Erzhi Feng control, and now she is inputting it into the Quanguo Egg. She can feel that the life in the egg is becoming more and more active with time and Gu Er Zhi Feng's input.
"What if there is a chaotic fight? How can the trainers accurately agree?" Walter suddenly asked a question, ending the lively discussion directly.
"Let's go, there will always be a way, isn't it?" Darkus did not participate in the discussion, but looked at the pterosaurs and Kalien in the sky, listened to the discussion of the Druchi, and began to give orders when the discussion was almost over. road.
The team passed by several temporary settlements of Skinks. They came from various temple cities, most of them were the City of the Moon, Talaxlan, a few came from the easternmost city of Rebirth, Huta, and the City of Mist further to the south. , Slanwupek and the first city, Itaza, these skinks have set out since the rainy season, and they arrived here at the right time.
It is home to several rivers and lakes and is filled with extensive wetlands. All are full of fish, and these fish attract swarms of pterosaurs to build nests in the surrounding area. At this time, the hungry pterosaurs begin to hunt.
Dacus held the slate map in Hesiota for a long time and compared it, because these lakes and rivers should be further north on the slate map, close to the satellite temple city, and finally he attributed it to thousands of years. The changes over the years have caused the geographical environment to shift.
There are many behemoth egg bounty hunters and riders without pterosaurs in the temporary station. The bounty hunters are here to look for eggs. As for the riders without pterosaurs, they are also following the bounty hunters to look for eggs. Please lend a hand and help. , and then see if there is a chance to hair or rub one.
Or they try to come here by chance to get a pterosaur of their own, but most of them return disappointed, or even lose their lives here. Wild adult pterosaurs usually will not pay attention to the skink. Instead, they will find opportunities to catch the skink high in the air and then throw it down, thanks to the gift of the ancient saint Iqi.
Chance refers to the kind of ridiculous adventure stories that happened, such as encountering a poor cub that was alone, or an injured adult pterosaur that could not move after being taken care of by a skink. . .
"Is this place on the spiritual vein network?" Darkus asked Akadan, who was standing next to him. He wanted to stay active and stretch his muscles a little.
"This place is at the edge of the spiritual vein network. It's not the other side of the river." Akadan closed his eyes and began to perceive carefully. After a moment, he nodded and pointed to the Amazon River in the distance.
"Ren! Chupa Coco! And you! Stop swimming and come up!" Darkus shouted, pointing at the giant lizard Kami already soaking in the wetland.
"Sir."
"What's the matter? Umak?"
"Go and carry the Raven War Flag and the Hethiotal Sun War Flag, and notify the skinks stationed around you to gather at the edge of our camp tomorrow morning. Expired Don't wait!"
Now the giant lizard Kami has replaced the previous giant lizard carrying the battle flag of Hethiotar's Sun and has become the new flag bearer, carrying the flag in his left hand and the shovel in his right hand. As for why he was chosen, it was definitely not because Darkus liked the new and disliked the old, but because he would protect the flag before the battle and would not throw it at the enemy.
Darkus held up the monocular and watched the pterosaur in the distance begin to swoop down. The pterosaur's hind legs dipped in the water for a while, and then quickly pulled it up again. The pterosaur's hind legs were already holding Catching a large fish of unknown species.
"Yes, Sir!"
The next day, Darkus was woken up very early. Except for the Skink that had traveled far and did not return last night, most of the other Skinks came. At this moment, the skinks from various temple cities began to hiss and chatter. Some of the skinks asked the skinks in the team to try to get some usable information, but the skinks in the team didn't understand.
Darkus did not exercise in the morning today. After finishing breakfast and tidying up his appearance, he appeared in the empty field, stretched out his hand to the Skink Lizards and pressed them for silence.
After a while, all the skinks present fell silent, looking at this hot-blooded species without knowing why.
"I am Umak of the ancient saint Iqi! I will call some pterosaurs down in a while. As for whether you can have your own pterosaurs, it depends on you!" Darkus said at this time The desire to perform came back, and he spread his hands and said.
"My ancient saint, praise Umak!"
The Skink Lizards looked at Umak blankly, and they came to their senses after a moment. The atmosphere instantly became noisy, and the skinks began to jump, hissing, praising and discussing excitedly.
Darkus took off on a pterosaur carrying the Horn of Spicazuma, and Kalien and several family trainers flew around him to protect him. He was worried that Tzeentch would mess with him, so he did not choose to fly high. Instead, he was in a very delicate position, so subtle that even if he fell down, nothing would happen. The most he could do was change his clothes. Anyway, he had a horn.
The pterosaur that was fishing saw Darkus in the middle of its dive, and stopped its dive after being stunned for a moment. It was in a very bad state at this time, and the frustration of stopping its rapid dive made it very uncomfortable, but it quickly recovered and began to follow Darkus.
Before Darkus even blew his trumpet, a group of pterosaurs were already following him.
"I'm thinking, am I the Lord of the Heavens?"
