Ever since the floating warship had ventured tens of thousands of kilometers into the Dark Forest, it had never stopped suffering attacks.
Fortunately, the Silver Alliance had chosen a flight path that had been explored through countless bloody voyages over thousands of years. They had tried their best to avoid the living and hunting areas of the high-leveled magical creatures. Therefore, although there were many attacks, most of them were Class 1 magical creatures that lived in groups. The number of Class 2 creatures that appeared could be counted on one hand.
With the floating warship's sturdy defensive barrier, the many Magi on the ship joined forces and successfully repelled the magical creatures' attacks.
The floating warship flew thousands of meters in the air. If ordinary magical creatures did not have the ability to fly, they would not be able to stop them.
As they passed by a huge black canyon, Grim saw a terrifying Class 2 Hill Giant crawling out of the ground.
His towering body was at least 30 meters tall, and he looked like a moving human-shaped hill.
Hill Giants were a branch of the Earth Elemental Giants. They were born with thick skin and boundless strength, and their entire body was made up of huge grey rocks. Like the dragons, they were born to sleep. Every time they had their fill, they would find an area with dense earth elemental energy and burrow into the ground to sleep.
The reason the floating warship chose to pass through the territory of the Hill Giant was because it could not fly and would spend most of the year sleeping underground, so it would not be easy to provoke it.
However, their luck was not good this time. The Hill Giant had just woken up.
Sensing the dense scent of human flesh in the air, the Hill Giant slowly crawled out from the depths of the black canyon. It raised its huge humanoid head and opened its pitch-black mouth, roaring angrily at the floating warship.
All magical creatures in the Dark Forest had a strong sense of territory. Once they sensed an outsider invading their lair, they would immediately attack without a second thought.
Therefore, the Hill Giant took heavy steps that shook the earth, creating a flat path in the forest as it chased closely below the floating warship. Every time it got close, the Hill Giant would roar angrily at the sky. Its huge palm-leaf stone hand would raise its head, and the yellowish-brown earth elemental energy would condense into a huge rock in the blink of an eye.
With a loud roar, the huge rock in the Hill Giant's hand tumbled, whistling through the air as it rushed into the sky.
The Magi on the ship were looking down, and when they saw a huge rock the size of a house flying towards them, all of them turned pale with fright. Even Grim's heart tightened, his eyes fixed on the huge rock that was tumbling towards them as he quickly analysed the data.
[Beep. Main composition: Earth elemental energy and impurities. Rock density: 1,73 cubic meters. Rock size: 3 cubic meters. Rock weight: 5,24 tonnes. Estimated flying height: 729 metres …]
"What is the floating warship's current altitude?"
[Beep. Warship 'of current altitude?]
After obtaining the detailed data from the A.I. Chip, Grimm completely set aside his worries and focused all his attention on the data of the Hill Giant's body.
Most of these high-grade monsters had powerful energy in their bodies, and would form a defensive forcefield similar to a barrier. The A.I. Chip could not pry into their information from so far away. [Hill Giant, Rank 2. High-grade earth elemental creature. Height: 31-33 metres. Width: 8-10 metres. Weight: 97 tonnes.]
[Hill Giant, Grade 2. High-level Earth-type Creature. Height 31-33 meters. Width 8-10 meters. Weight > 97 tons. [Stats: Strength > 27, Agility 25, Spiritual Force > 14.] Even if it did not use its earth elemental energy, with just its terrifying weight and astounding vitality, this Hill Giant could easily crush a human Magus of the same rank.
Even if the floating warship had a rank 2 Magus holding the line, if they were to face this Hill Giant in a one on one battle, they would definitely be crushed to a pulp.
The rank of every creature could be used to indicate their strength, but it was not absolute!
Some powerful races were born with great power bonuses, and an individual's creature rank didn't represent their full power. For example, the Hill Giant's huge body gave it a huge boost in strength and vitality. With the same stats, the battle strength it could display would far surpass that of a human Magus of the same rank.
Looking at the Hill Giant's stats projected by the A.I. Chip in his mind, Grimm's shock could not be any greater.
This was only a rank 2 magical creature of the Dark Forest that was slightly below average in strength!
If the floating battleship wasn't flying high up in the sky, and the 60 Magi on board were on flat ground, the hill giant would only need to rely on its mountain-like body to barge into the crowd unreasonably, and the Magi would suffer heavy casualties.
Although Grimm had gained the title of Fire Demon, he was not sure if his Lava Fireballs would be able to break through the defensive membrane and terrifying rock body of a moving rock mountain.
In a battle with such a monster, the biggest possibility was that before Grimm could blast a rock off its body, the Hill Giant would have already smashed him into meat paste!
The giant rock whistled through the air, and when it was exhausted, it would tumble back down.
Each time, it would cause the Magi to gasp in surprise.
The rune formation at the tail of the floating warship suddenly glowed brightly, and under the swift and violent wind particles, it knocked away the white clouds and quickly left the territory of the Hill Giant.
At first, the Hill Giant could still chase after them with large strides, but when the flying warship began to speed up, it was gradually left behind.
Finally, when the floating warship disappeared into the horizon, everyone could see a terrifying rock giant climbing up a steep cliff, roaring angrily at them.
After leaving the territory of the Hill Giant, the floating warship flew over the territory of a strange Sea Serpent.
As the floating warship streaked across the sky above the Dark Forest, one of the Magi suddenly pointed below and exclaimed, "Look … What's that?"
Everyone bent down to take a look.
In the dark forest, everything was so quiet and serene, as if there was no movement at all.
However, through the intertwined branches and dense leaves, they could vaguely sense a dark shadow moving through the forest, always following below them.
"That's a Sea Serpent!" A Silver Alliance Magus wearing a silver Magus robe explained to everyone with a smile, "It's a strange monster similar to a pollution monster. It can create strange illusions similar to a mirage, silently swallowing creatures into its body. Its basic level is also at grade 2, but it's much more terrifying than the Hill Giant. In the Dark Forest, as long as you're careful, it's not a problem to avoid the Hill Giant. But if you encounter a Sea Serpent, I'm afraid you won't even have the chance to escape! "
"I've also heard of this Sea Serpent!" A tall and thin Magus on the ship added, "They like to stick their bodies on the surface of the ground, and then create a clear pool of water, a beautiful garden, or a villa filled with treasures. This illusion is actually their stomach. They lure their prey in, and then unknowingly, their bodies will be dissolved by the illusion. "
"Fortunately, they don't have long-range attacks!" Finally, a Magus said what everyone was thinking.
All the Magi nodded.
Apparently, the Silver Alliance Magus was not satisfied with everyone's attitude. He shook his head and said, "Everyone, don't relax so early. After passing through this Sea Serpent's territory, the next part of the journey will be the most challenging. "
"What's behind us?" A Magus asked.
"Winged Lions!" The Silver Alliance Magus frowned and said, "The next monster territory we need to pass through belongs to the Winged Lions. Everyone, be careful!"
Although there were many Magi on the ship, some had heard of the Winged Lions, while others knew nothing about them. Thus, private whispers began to sound.
Some Magi who were familiar with each other began to exchange information.
Grim was slightly taken aback.
Winged Lions?
He seemed to have heard of this kind of monster before.
It was difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between the Winged Lions and the Griffins. Their names were similar, and both had the word lion in their names, but they were typical of two different kinds of monsters.
The Griffins were winged beasts with the head of an eagle and the body of a lion. This fully explained their physical characteristics. An eagle's head and sharp beak, a lion's body and sharp claws, and a pair of wide and fluffy wings.
Under normal circumstances, an adult Gryphon was only a tier-1 magical creature that lived in groups. Apart from its considerable physical strength, its greatest strength lay in its ability to fly and dive at high speeds. Its ear-piercing screeches also had a strange ability to confuse the mind.
Apart from these, there was nothing else worth paying attention to!
As for the Winged Lion, it was a magical creature that lived in groups as high as Grade 2 when it matured. They usually lived together in a family. Usually, an adult male or female Winged Lion would bring three to five Grade 1 Winged Lions with them.
Compared to the Griffins, the Winged Lions were a type of lion with huge wings.
Apart from their strong physical strength, they also had the ability to cast Light Element Magi. It could be said that they were the natural enemies of some Dark Element Magi!
After listening to the Silver Alliance Magi's explanation, a few Dark Magi in black robes on the ship could not help but frown. It was obvious that they had heard of these annoying Light Element Magi. If they really encountered such monsters later, all the curses, corrosive, and strong acid attacks they had would be useless against them. They would probably only be able to watch from the sidelines and become spectators.
The Floating Battleship followed a tall ridge above the Black Forest, constantly changing directions, trying its best to avoid dangerous areas.
