Chapter 575: Harpy (3)
The Harpy has the ability to fly, and her natural weapons are very good, so she is indeed a strong enemy in terms of the average combat power of monsters of this level.
However, this does not mean that they do not have weaknesses, and the feathers and fluff on their bodies are quite flammable.
Seeing the golden-red flames spread out like a shockwave, the two harpy banshees besieging An Yizhi hurriedly vibrated their wings and fled to the sky.
Their actions were correct, as the large flamebursts spread out in a flat surface, and it was never more effective to retreat than to fly and dodge.
At the same time, because Fast was closer to An Yizhi, she also used these flames by the way, rolled on the spot, came to Ann Yizhi, and said back to back:
"Mr. An, use a powerful spell, I'll buy time."
As a member of the original Wizard Crusader, Fast of course recognized that the spells used by An Yizhi were all E~D level, and she didn't use any powerful spells at all, and she thought that she needed time to chant incantations.
"No, there's a lot of people here."
It is not uncommon for an adventurer to be able to use D-rank or even C-rank spells, in other words, strong is strong, but it is also common sense, after all, adventurers dance with death all day long, and as long as they are not dead, they generally become very strong.
However, once An Yizhi uses a high-power spell above level B, this will not only be spread around by other NPCs present as a talking point, but may also arouse the alarm of the Imperial Army at the target location of the mission.
What does a mage who can use A-rank spells do in the mountains? Combined with the fact that there is a magic city not far away, it is already obvious.
Even if they guessed optimistically, they would not be aware of the true purpose of An Yizhi and the others, but they would also strengthen their vigilance, and maybe they would really transfer a big man above level 50 to run to suppress the formation.
This is one of the reasons why Ann Yizhi doesn't use high-power spells, and the three players have already discussed it before they set off, trying not to show too much strength.
And another reason......
This battle is so inexplicable!
Harpies are neutral creatures, and they usually do not attack humans except during the breeding season, and will even actively avoid them.
What is the reason for them to fight when they disagree?
Moreover, An Yizhi just took the time to pull out the task list and looked, and the main quest was not updated, indicating that this attack had nothing to do with the main quest, and the side quest was not activated, which is a bit strange.
According to the previous reasoning, if there is an unexpected situation on the way to escort a caravan like this, the system will update the task of 'protecting the caravan', and then reward them according to the number of surviving NPCs.
This time, however, no new missions were activated, which means that the caravan was not on the mission side.
Then, the party that can give the player the task is naturally the Harpy.
This is also the reason why An Yizhi has never used too strong attacks, in case he accidentally kills the Harpy, where can he find a side quest?
Combined with the previous dialogue between the Harpys, Ann Yizhi guessed that this battle must be fought, and it must be won, to show his strength, and not to really cause casualties to the Harpys, they are notoriously united, and only in this way can they gain the trust of the Harpies and get new side quests.
The activation method is so troublesome, the quest reward should be good, right?
Looking at the harpy that had struck again from the sky, Ann thought with one finger as he touched the flaming golden beads.
Not everyone can cope with the attack of the Harpy like An Yizhi, thinking about how to maximize the benefits. Most NPCs have only one thought in mind, and that is to save their lives.
The rest of the adventurers surrounded the city, and the melee fighters protected the archers, who were the only ones who could attack the Harpy, and the archers also threw arrows into the air, but due to the Harpy's higher level and strength, their arrows were of little use except to make some colorful feathers fall in the sky. On the contrary, two more adventurers were carried high into the air by the harpys, and they disappeared,
However, from here, it can be seen that the cooperation of An Yizhi and the others is really not good, almost all of them are in a state of fighting separately, only Fast is guarding An Yizhi's side, and Apple Tea and Ren Dingshengtian are all fighting by themselves.
Of course, the wild team is not as skilled as the regular team, in fact, they are not stupid, they know how important the mages on the protection team are, but the harpy banshees' surprise attack is too strong to help.
Ren Dingshengtian waved his two-handed battle axe in response, because he was the largest, and the harpys considered him the most threatening, so there were four harpies attacking him.
"Drink!"
There was a loud shout in his mouth, and the rolling sound roared out, as if the sky was exploding with thunder.
This is a spell-like ability Warcry with a roar-like effect that stuns the nearest creature with tinnitus. And it's a special skill, so it's not within the limit that he can't use skills below B.
However, his voice was in vain, and the harpy banshees were not only not affected, but their eyes lit up, as if they saw peerless beauties.
"That stupid big one, the Harpy is immune to sonic damage."
Hela covered her little ears with her wings and complained, which is why she never helped with fear, because she knew it was useless.
An Yiyi activated the flaming golden beads, and a swarm of golden beads flew around him, a sound and light effect that attracted the attention of more than six harpys.
The effect of the burning gold bead in this magic book is good, and with the huge magic power of An Yizhi, it can make an effect comparable to that of a missile storm, but it is a difficult problem to control.
Initially, as a result of the surprise attack, Ann Ichchi successfully aimed and hit the wing of a harpy, causing her to lose her ability to fly and have to retreat under the cover of her companions.
But soon he found that the speed of the golden bead could not keep up with the flight speed of the harpy, so he had to let the golden bead surround himself and Fast, making it a temporary defense and then slowly trying to figure it out.
The most relaxed of the four should be apple tea, perhaps due to their size, the harpies think that those who are smaller than themselves are weak chickens and prey.
So there's only one Harpy against Appletea. Appletea's own level is barely 30, but the frontal combat effectiveness is not very good, and in the face of the harpy's attack, he can only choose to dodge and use his flexible advantage to maneuver.
Appletea has the natural ability to instinctively dodge, which allows him to anticipate and attack in advance, and cooperate with his agility to be more like a fish in water. On the other hand, the harpy who attacked Appletea felt that she was fighting another loach that she couldn't catch, which was extremely tricky.
"Backstab!"
Appletea seized the opportunity to narrowly dodge the harpy's grasp, then circled behind her from under her ribs, two daggers in the shape of shark teeth aimed at the harpy's shoulder blades.
His choice was very correct, because the harpys mainly relied on their wings to fly, and the damage to their shoulder blades would make them powerless to resist, and their ability to fly and attack would be drastically reduced.
But the harpy banshee who was fighting with him was surprisingly rich in combat experience, and when he lost the figure of Apple Tea in his eyes, he already realized that he had gone around behind him, and before the dagger stabbed down his wings and agitated hard, he forcibly pulled his body up, and Apple Tea's backstab pierced through the light feathers, causing no damage at all.
But he didn't suffer......
Passing through the harpy's armpits, the two hands stirred wildly, and Apple Tea felt like it had touched two round and fleshy things, and the one that grabbed it was called a bargain.
Although he usually has a flowery mouth, Apple Tea is a young man who has just entered his freshman year, how can he experience such an exciting thing, at most in a dream.
In an instant, the dagger was released, and he said in a panic:
"IāI didn't mean to!"
Of course he didn't mean it, if it was intentional, he has now been kicked out of the game by the system, and the video materials have been sent to the nearest police station, and Apple Tea at this time should consider how to face the ideological education of the police uncles.
And the harpy didn't even blush, in their opinion, a halfling like Apple Tea couldn't be regarded as their equivalent existence at all, and being slammed by him was no different from letting a cat or dog touch it.
I wonder if Apple Tea will cry after knowing the truth......
Appletea panicked because she touched her big breasts, but the harpy didn't care at all, she turned over and grabbed Appletea's thighs with her eagle-like claws, and at the same time exerted force.
As a harpy that can lift a half-ton object into the air, her grip strength cannot be underestimated. Appletea only felt that his legs were clamped by iron tongs, and he couldn't compete with them with his strength, and the next moment there was a flower in front of his eyes, and the back of his head hurt, and he was pressed to the ground by the harpy, like a rabbit preyed on by a falcon.
At the same time, on the other side, An Yizhi also seized the opportunity, and he saw that the pink-winged harpy that attacked him at the beginning began to slow down.
The harpy's lifespan is comparable to that of a human, and from the outside, that harpy is only at the level of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, and her staying power and combat power are far inferior to those of other adult harpies.
As the so-called persimmon is looking for a soft pinch, An Yizhi plans to grab her as a bargaining chip to talk to the harpys, maybe they can really activate a side quest, and no matter how bad it is, the harpys can retreat, after all, they are very united.
"Bigby grabs!"
Seeing the opportunity, An opened his five fingers and made a grabbing action.
The palm of a standing hand more than a person tall flew out of the cluster of golden beads and pounced on the harpy that was the target.
Seeing this, the latter hurriedly flapped his wings to dodge, in terms of speed alone, it was impossible for Biegby to keep up with the palm anyway, but the harpy was still young, and the series of battles just now had exhausted her, and desperately dodging had no effect, and without waiting for the other harpy to come to the rescue, Biegby grabbed the palm and grabbed her in his hand as if he was pinching a figure.
"Stop!"
Bigby gripped the harpy back to Ann's finger, and the floating sword at his waist popped out with a thud and rested on the latter's neck.
Looking at the apple tea that had just been caught by the Harpy, An pointed and said:
"Now that we have hostages in our hands, I think we can talk about it rationally."
