Gou is a dark elf in Warhammer

Chapter 148 73. The End of the Journey (5.2K)

Dacius learned from the Skink Priest's narration that this place was used as a training ground for beaked dragon riders for a period of time after the great invasion, but it was abandoned after another period of time.The reason lies in the beak-billed dragon. If the pterosaur is a dive bomber and a ground-licking machine, then the beak-billed dragon is a fighter jet, and of course it often makes cameo attacks on the ground.

An extremely vicious predator, a flying behemoth the size of a pterosaur, with corrugated muscle fibers and taut membranous wings, these predators swarm around Ruth Soaring over the Chia Continent.Much of the movement for these predators is the target of their attack, they fold their wings over themselves, maneuver through wedge-shaped tails, and swoop down at incredible speeds, led by the most ferocious of their kind Pounce on the target.The razor-sharp claws of these predators can dismember their targets, and their violent strikes leave scattered entrails and limbs in their wake.

Interestingly, the Lustria macular toad is the natural enemy of the beak-billed dragon, the target of almost eternal hatred.The Lustrian yellow-spotted toad is the largest of all toads, not counting the Slann.It is a venomous amphibious creature known for invading nests and emitting an almost unbearable odor.When they gather in groups, the scent they release is enough to drive away a hungry tyrannosaurus.For reasons unknown, their favorite food is beakrosaurus eggs.Naturally, beakrosaurs would seek them out and destroy them in extreme ways.

Although the Skinks paid a lot, the Skinks still found that the hatched beaked dragons could be domesticated and trained.Of course, if the training of pterosaurs is easy, the training of beaked dragons is hell.Because once the eggshell of the Beakrosaurus is broken, the first thing the Beakrosaurus inside will do is to attack the creatures that see it. Usually, most Skinks will be eliminated directly in the first round. Elimination refers to physical methods Elimination, such as being eaten directly by the beaked dragon.If the Skink survived the first round, it would be possible for the Skink to bond with the Skink, though it would take a lot of time and scars.After about a year, if the Skink has not been eaten by the Skink, the Skink will accept it as its master.

Those Skinks that successfully bond with a raptor become brave elite warriors who forgo their javelins and blowguns once aboard.Instead, they would be armed for close quarters combat, wearing ceremonial flying helmets and carrying spears.Of course, these brave Skink riders are usually of little use, their attacks pale in comparison to that of a raptor.The beak-billed dragon will unstoppably pounce on the enemy, but this kind of battle is basically not controllable. It can be compared with the manticore in the Durucci society.

An intuitive analogy is that the pterodactyl rider is a pilot, while the beaked dragon rider is a one-time astronaut selected from the pilot. The problem is that after the lizardman society has experienced a major invasion, there are not so many skinlizard bases for such It was a waste of money, which is why it was abandoned here.

"Is there a way?" Dacus rubbed his forehead after listening and asked. The reason why he rubbed his forehead was not because of the trouble caused by creatures like the beak-billed dragon, but because of the dizziness he heard from the skinny lizard priest. Up, actually from dusk to dark.Drucci's tamer could handle hydras, manticores, and harpies, and he didn't believe there was no reason why he couldn't handle a beaked dragon.

"Young Master, you can! And there are many ways." Karien, who was standing beside him, bowed his head and said respectfully.

"That's good, what's the situation over there?" Dacius asked looking at the strange light above the Kauchen Plain.

The arrival of night turned the skies over the Cauzen Plains into a creepy place, full of mystery.Occasionally something flashed through the strange light, forming a plasma phenomenon as colorful as the aurora.

"It is said that it was created by some form of terrible energy released by the Chaos Demon when Oxo fell during the Great Invasion, and it has continued until now."

"It's time to eat, try bird meat tonight." Dacius nodded, he didn't care, and he didn't try to explain this strange phenomenon in a scientific way, and he didn't want to hear the skinny priest babbling The narration of Feathered Serpent.

Without stopping, the team set off the next day, and after a few days of walking, they could reach the Kaochen Plain.

At night, at the bivouac in the jungle south of Oaks, Yakadan sat cross-legged and analyzed.

The Skink Prophet Yakadan was born in the City of the Sun, Hesiota, and was placed in semi-forced exile shortly after his birth from the hatching pool, where the Skink Priests watched him before taking him deep into the jungle. a long time.Deep in the jungle, he is abandoned and must learn to survive there alone.

At the time Yakadan didn't know why this happened, why he couldn't live in Hesiota like the other Skinks, but his relatively developed intelligence told him that it might have something to do with his forked tail that surprised the lizards, according to the Spirits at the time The lizard priest says his tail is a blessing from the Old Ones and the snake god, where should he go?He doesn't know either.

The long jungle life begins, snakes, leeches, poisonous spiders, mosquitoes bigger than him, leopards, savage orcs, as well as Amazons and pygmies. He has fought everything in the jungle and has to avoid giants The infestation of beasts and cold ones.Occasionally, he would meet his skinny kind, but his kind told him that he was special and different from his kind, and he gradually accepted this fact, and embarked on a journey of wandering alone again.

Arkadan became content with deciphering the visions he saw in his dreams, where he would see the Will of the Old Ones.A deep and dark cave caught his attention, and there seemed to be something calling him.He was parsing the reason the Old Ones had revealed to him that there existed.He sat cross-legged, analyzing, waiting.The light that enveloped him never stopped, and he didn't know how long he had been motionless.

Hours, days, perhaps weeks later, Arkadan dreamed of a gigantic figure moving slowly towards him in the shadows of the cavern, tasting the air with a forked tongue.Huge wet body heaving with his steps, he stood up slowly and found himself facing the nightmarish maw of a gigantic beast.The beast's forked tongue tasted the air again, then with a flick of its beard, it jerked back, sending a cavern-sounding growl at him.

Finally, Yakadan woke up from the analysis, and under the guidance of the phantom he saw in the dream, he came to the blood-sucking mosquito swamp in the northeast of Warnabeek, and ventured into the dangerous blood-sucking mosquito swamp. To understand to determine the direction.Finally, in a deep and dark cave, he saw the phantom place in the dream, and also saw the giant beast he saw in the dream.As the beast roared, he leaned forward and put his hands on the beast's body.

Yakadan passed his trials, he bonded to the cave dragon, and he became a true Skink seer, oracle.A great being contacted him shortly thereafter, and in the years that followed, he learned how to use the wind of magic that surrounded him, and he rode a troglodyte dragon and began to wander and drift across the continent of Lustria, fighting.Use his esoteric abilities to find lost ancient tablets and artifacts, or investigate perceived disturbances in the Nexus network.

Over the long years, Yakadan found several stone tablets that had been lost for dozens of centuries. One of the stone tablets was the Huta Tablet. To the north rises a mountain that prevents Drucci from invading.His claw-like fingers caressed the sunken block-shaped writing on the ancient holy slate, and he and his fetters regained the broken sacred sundial among the undead on the Vampire Coast. The Chia continent shuttles.

The news of Yakadan's adventure was sent back to Hesiota. At the moment of his return, Hesiota held a grand welcome ceremony for him. His troglodyte arranged a large number of gemstones and gold decoration items to show the sacred status of troglodyte.

Soon after, Arkadan's adventures began again.Now, the familiar dream reappeared in his mind, he opened his eyes, got up and walked slowly into the jungle.

Genevieve, who couldn't sleep, was looking at the strange light in the sky, and she suddenly saw Yakadan's abnormal reaction.

"You stay here, I'll go over to see what's going on." Naika, who had changed his guard, was pacing in the camp, seeming to be thinking about some issues. Genevieve going up.After thinking for a while, he checked the weapons on his body, and then followed.

Akadan noticed Geneviève and Naika after passing through the saurak warriors patrolling the perimeter.Naika handed over the sawtooth dagger he was carrying with him to Geneviève. He stringed the repeating crossbow and followed Akadan's side and rear, while Genevieve followed on the other side holding the sawtooth dagger. A wonderful adventure team is formed.

Flying knives, crossbow bolts, magic, and daggers slashed across the jungle. Genevieve, with a fierce face, was fighting with a woman of her height. The two women kept waving their daggers, trying to kill each other. And die.Soon the battle was over, but Geneviève was superior, and the sawtooth dagger she swung pierced the main artery in the enemy's neck.

"It's not good." In the faint moonlight that penetrated into the canopy and sprinkled in the jungle, Geneviève saw the unbelievable eyes under the mask of the enemy. She licked the blood on the serrated dagger, tasted it, and smacked her lips. Spit it out again soon after.The battle on the other side was also over. Yakadan strung one with an amber spear, Naika shot one with a repeating crossbow, and then hacked another with a jagged longsword.

The three adventurers with a strange lineup and a language barrier looked at each other, then shook their heads, indicating that they were fine.The three adventurers did not choose to rest in place, but left after quickly searching for items. Experienced adventurers knew that the smell of blood would soon attract other things.

The three adventurers stopped in front of a cave, Yakadan looked back at Genevieve and Naika, and Genevieve and Naika didn't want to go in, because they knew that there seemed to be a cave in the cave. A powerful existence, besides, caving at night is not in line with the rules of adventurers, the two of them looked at each other, hesitating.Seeing the two of them hesitating, Akadan patted his chest and seemed to say that there was no problem. Geneviève turned her head and nodded to Akadan, making a follow gesture.

Naika froze a bit, he really didn't want to go in, he felt a feeling of fear passing through his heart after living for hundreds of years.But there is no way, one is the lord's maid, and the other is also an existence close to the lord, if something really happened, how would he explain it to the lord?At this moment, he was a little regretful, regretting that he should not have paced around the camp just now thinking about what was there, and soon his scalp was numb, and he also made a follow gesture.

The cave was deep and dark, and there was the sound of water droplets falling from time to time. Yakadan, who was walking in front, did not relax because he knew what was inside, and remained vigilant as usual. He didn't even cast a spell to raise the light ball for illumination.The three adventurers walked for a long time and came to a spacious pool. There was a hole on the top of the cave. The sparse water flowed down the cave into the pool of the cave. The same sparse moonlight also came in through the hole. The three adventurers The reader knows that it will be dawn soon.

Yakadan turned his head and made a gesture of waiting in place. After finishing the gesture, he began to walk slowly into the center of the pool and waited for a long time.Genevieve and Naika were at a loss for not knowing what to do. They saw that the sky was about to dawn, and things would be a little troublesome if they waited. What to do.Soon they heard a loud noise, and they knew that something was coming, and it was huge. They were on guard with their weapons, and a troglodyte dragon they were familiar with slowly came out of the shadows.

Dacius was a little strange when he got up in the morning. It stands to reason that Genevieve would come to help him change his clothes. Whether he was lying on the bed or running out at night, he would appear on time.He had just put on his noble robes when he heard a roar of a giant beast that he was not familiar with outside. When he opened the door of the tent, he saw Genevieve standing outside the door, holding a bag he had never seen before. jewelry.

"Are you going on an adventure?" Dacius glanced at Geneviève, and after confirming that she was safe, she looked at the roaring sound of the giant beast.

Yakadan stood on the back of a cave dragon with a different skin from before, confronting Eye of the Storm lying there. Yakadan was trying to appease the cave dragon, but Eye of the Storm was still lying there quietly watching Cave dragon.

Dacius walked over quickly, calming the Eye of the Storm and the restless Cave Dragon.At breakfast, he understood what had happened, but he didn't say anything, such as not being allowed to go next time.This is as special as being late for work and school.Instead, he was interested in the group of Amazons, and he had never seen them along the way, nor had he seen Pygmies.But this is not surprising at all, he knows that because the team is too large and shocking, those minority races will definitely stay far away, primitive and barbaric does not mean stupid.

It's a little late today, and the Skinks are making a rein for Akadan with crude tools.

"Pale Death!"

On the way, Yakadan asked Dacius to help name the cave dragon, and Dacius said directly looking at the purple skin of the cave dragon.

The team came to the crater valley, which is regarded as a landmark scenic spot in the Lustria continent.But the team didn't stop, but went straight through.The Duluchi's reaction was mediocre, what's the point of a volcano?There is a big one next to Krakalund, so big that there is a dragon in it, and Holoto's Skinks are watching with interest.

Passing through the crater valley comes to the turning point of this trip, which is also the end point of this trip.The Cauzen Plain, also known as the "Endless Plain", is located at the southern end of the Sotek Ridge across the Lustrian continent, bordering the Lustrian Forest to the north, and the Flaming Swamp and Whirlpool Swamp to the east. There are no lizardmen on duty The Southern Outpost stands on the cliffs to the south.After going down the cliff, there are two fallen temple cities, the lost city, Keax and the outside city, Slanzek, and there is also the Twilight Fortress of Asur.

A dry, flat, and boundless plain spread out in front of Dacius like a huge painting. There were no abrupt mountains or deep canyons on the plain, but shallow basins like plates at most.There is a feeling of being hollowed out inside him, like a still ocean.

Before Duruchi and the Skinks started talking about the beak-billed dragon group in the sky, he gave them a surprise. After learning about the danger of this kind of creature in Oxo, Karleon did not choose to fight in the air, but chose to take it with him. The pterodactyl riders flew back into the ranks.

The beak-billed dragon group that was diving saw Dacus, and he blew the horn to tell the group of beak-billed dragons to get out of here.

"Dou Leilou, make trouble. If you can't do it, you can raise chocobos and alpacas." Dacius frowned and looked at the flying beaked dragon and thought. He felt a little irritable. What if this is a large-scale cattle breeding?His jumping thinking went from bull to Khorne, and after thinking for a while, he thought to Minotaur.

Dacius's legion can be confirmed. It is basically dominated by giant beasts from the Lustria continent, supplemented by soldiers from Drucci.The other legions are the regular monsters of Drucci in Naggaroth in the north, such as hydras and the like.Of course, it still depends on the specific situation. At least he will not bring the giant beast of Lustria to the northernmost part of Naggaros to fight the Huns and Chaos. How big is his brain?Lustria's behemoths are used to defend the Lustria continent and the Old World Southland spiritual network and temple cities, and then on this basis, fight snakes and rats or adapt to the terrain, such as Ulthuan .

"I think about it, this is very different." In Dacius's cognition, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the food and grass go first, and the battle has started, so they can't just go out to find food or feed the slaves, right?Or take the dog out to fight, the dog eats the flying, and the man eats the dog?This is too Nurgle.

Although Durucci is not as particular about food as Azul's cousin, but it can't be done like this, right?Food is the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the feudal army. Anything without food is useless. If you are hungry for a few days, you will not be able to play.On the basis of sufficient and nutritious food, some cigarettes and alcohol will boost morale, perfect!This is also one of the purposes of Dacius coming to Lustria.

The more he walked into the Kaochen Plain, the weirder Dacius felt.
