The sharp claws scratched the nearly transparent ripples of the magic circle, leaving only fleeting traces.

The existence of the protective circle isolates all attacks from the griffons, and the mercenaries on the windboat can attack without restraint.

The magic circle they used was quite different from the one Liu Xiao obtained on the frozen soil of the snowy mountains. The defense of this magic circle was one-way. All objects from the outside could not enter, but it could be launched from within.

But Liu Xiao's attack was able to go out. In addition, Liu Xiao's one only relied on the spiritual energy crystal contained in the core of the magic circle as the source of energy, unlike on the wind boat, where three people worked together to transmit spiritual energy to a pillar in the center of the deck.

It should be said that the two magic circles have their own characteristics. Liu Xiao's is more like a trap, confining the enemy in the magic circle, and using elemental creations to kill people. The one in the field of vision can be said to be tailor-made for wind boats and long-range attacks.

Made to order.

The reason why this war group has such arrogant capital is simply because of the existence of this protective circle, otherwise, haha.

Liu Xiao once heard a story before, saying that there is a rather special restaurant in Spain. The ingredients of this restaurant come from the bullring next door. One day, a diner came to dine here and ordered a plate of eggs. You can eat them as you like.

, everyone can understand that after the dinner plate was served, the diner found that the size of the eggs was wrong and was obviously much smaller, so he asked the waiter why. The waiter smiled and only said one sentence to him.

"Not everyone loses."

Of course, on Earth, this may be just a joke, but at the origin, it may not be so.

While the griffins continued to fall to the ground, the magic circle was also undergoing tests. Dozens of griffons continued to attack desperately, causing some vibrations in the ripples.

The three people who maintained the operation of the magic circle had huge beads of sweat on their foreheads.

Fortunately, the mercenaries on the deck were still up to par. They kept calling out arrows, crossbows, short spears, and meteor hammers. In less than ten minutes, the last gryphon fell to the ground in anger.

The ripples surrounding the sailboat dissipated, and the huge hull began to slowly descend.

Their harvest moment has arrived.

In the violet forest, dozens of injured griffons were scattered everywhere. Some were dying and lying on the ground waiting to die, some were licking their wounds, and some were guarding their companions, raising their necks and making sharp sounds.

of tweets.

Liu Xiao discovered that none of these griffins escaped.

Could it be that the IQ of griffins is very low?

The windboat was suspended in the tree canopy, and the mercenaries on the deck jumped down. Each of them held a chain in their hands, and one end of the chain was connected to the inside of the open hatch of the windboat.

Obviously, these people are familiar with this job. After landing, they each faced a gryphon. For those who were no longer able to resist, they directly tied the chain to the connection between the wings and the back, and then gave a sharp tug, and the chain quickly contracted.

They dragged the griffins high into the sky, and to deal with those griffins that still had strength, they first knocked them out with blunt objects, and then followed the same pattern.

As for those who are not seriously injured and can move quickly on the ground, the mercenaries will not act recklessly. Instead, they will gather three to four people to surround the griffin first. One person will attract attention from the front, and the others will come from the side and behind.

Launch an attack.

As expected, they were all professional players, which made Liu Xiao a little curious about what this group did.

With such a trip, you can get more than fifty griffons without any damage. This investment-output ratio is really high.

After getting them all back, treat the injuries, and then rest for a while until they are healthy and fat, then you can take action.

Liu Xiao was a little envious when he saw it, but it was a pity that he couldn't do this work by himself. The transportation of live griffins must be larger sailboats, and the space container can only be filled with dead objects without spirit bodies.

The whole battle process was very short, but it took a long time to capture and load the griffins into the cabin. It took almost twice as long to get half the number.

Liu Xiao, who was far away behind a pile of amethyst crystals, was hesitating whether to leave right away. After all, he had already reached the final stage. He had met the griffin, the owner of the legendary alexandrite forest, and had also experienced how a human battle group dealt with the gryphon.

The most exciting part of this good show is over.

However, something strange made him change his mind.

Liu Xiao's gaze moved to an empty and uninhabited area.

Suddenly, arrows shot out.

The mercenaries who were concentrating on taking care of the griffins were unprepared, and three of them were hit by arrows in an instant.

"withdraw!"

I go!

Liu Xiao was surprised to find that the first choice of this group of mercenaries after encountering a sneak attack was to retreat immediately!

Shouldn't we form a formation to meet the enemy first? The retreat process itself is risky, and there are still three wounded, oh, no, there are already four. The second round of arrows passed by, and there was another unlucky guy.

These mercenaries directly pulled the chains in their hands, stood up from the ground, and quickly retreated towards the windboat with the rapidly shrinking chains.

Between the shadows of the trees, the sneak attacker did not want to let go of the fat he had obtained easily.

A strong man covered in red armor ran a few steps forward and kicked the ground with both feet. The force was so strong that the ground sank directly.

The strong man jumped high, holding two short axes, with a fierce look in his eyes.

The short axes were thrown one after another, one missed slightly, and the other hit a mercenary directly in the face.

He died on the spot, and his body was still climbing rapidly along with the chains.

The strong man landed with a crash, holding two more short axes in his hands. Looking at the mercenaries entering the wind boat one after another, he smiled coldly, turned his head in disdain, and spat.

His companions also gathered at this moment, more than twenty people in total.

I glanced at the regimental emblems on these people's chests, and damn, I still didn't recognize them.

The magic circle on the windboat unfolded again, the bow of the boat twisted, and then it quickly flew out of the purple forest.

Liu Xiao shook his head and laughed silently.

Just ran away? There is a protective circle, and the ability of long-range attacks is not weak, but you don’t even have the courage to fight? You don’t want to fight back against these sneak attackers, nor do you want to avenge your dead comrades, let alone half of the griffins.

Not taken away.

This is too cowardly.

We can only think that maybe these mercenaries have their own considerations.

However, in fact, in addition to this wave of sneak attackers, there is also a wave of people lurking nearby, but the number is not large, and they have not chosen to take action.

Slowly retreating into the depths of the jungle, one person and three beasts continued to advance towards Zicui Mountain.

The airflow within five kilometers fluctuated very frequently, making it impossible for Liu Xiao to judge how many mercenaries there were in this area. The fanfare of the sailboat should have attracted many battle groups, and this place had become a place of right and wrong.

Sure enough, not long after he left, strange noises were heard one after another in the forest area where the battle had just taken place. Among the noises were the sounds of thunderstorms and the roars of wild beasts. It seemed that the group of sneak attackers had also become prey, and there would always be new oriole that would catch the wind.

.

Dozens of griffins waiting to be hunted are still attractive enough.

Liu Xiao, who had been far away for a long time, finally understood the reason why the sailboat chose to escape directly.

If they had chosen to fight back at that time, or use sailboats to deal with the sneak attackers, the final result would probably have been to pay more sacrifices, or even the entire team was destroyed.

They escaped from the dangerous area with four injured and one dead, maximizing their vitality and saving at least half of the griffins.

This should be regarded as a mature and prudent strategic choice.

Soon after, Wukong rushed out of the Purple Forest, and Liu Xiao raised his head and looked at the majestic Purple Green Mountain in front of him.

Instead of the tall purple shirts, the steep hillside is covered with haystacks as tall as a person. These grass plants are in clumps. Each one has a hemispherical shape, with long green leaves extending outward from the center of the sphere.

When opened, the unfolded leaves have serrations on both sides and a white pom-pom at the tip.

No matter how you look at it, these haystacks look a bit weird, reminding Liu Xiao of a plant that can often be seen on the Chinese Plateau, called wolfsbane flower.

If one or two is fine, the key point is that these things are all over the mountains and plains, making people look very uncomfortable.

The mercenaries in Suixing City have never mentioned this kind of haystack. Is there no danger? Or, have they never been to Zicui Mountain at all?

Helpless, a thought came to mind.
