Wang: “Are you a bat?”
"Bats hang upside down, right?" Nini asked back.
Marika followed suit, pulling the other "stirrup" and said loudly, "Okay, let's go."
The king shook his head. "I have a new understanding of your elves' physical abilities."
Marika: "I'm actually fine. My arms and chest muscles aren't particularly developed. But the guy on the other side is just casually pulling a longbow. His entire arms must be muscles."
Nini: "Yeah. The longbow requires a lot of strength."
Wang: "Okay. Take off!"
Xiaobai immediately began flapping his wings and flew into the sky.
As soon as the boat took off, Rosalie shouted, "Wait a minute! You missed the barbarians and the dwarves!"
The griffin touched its upper and lower beaks together, and the king felt that she smacked her lips.
Then the griffin flew back reluctantly, picked up the rope net on the deck, and hung it away.
Maybe because it's without the weight of the dwarf armor, the griffin feels like it's flying very easily.

On the deck, Rosalie turned her head to look at her brother and sister and said, "Just wait here with me until they return."
Oscar frowned: "I want to take part in the adventure, too. My swordsmanship..."
Rosalie: "If you can defeat that drow, the king will probably let you join the adventure."
Oscar frowned, "That's too difficult. She practiced swordplay for a hundred years. Although she said she was defeated by a genius human swordsman, but... is it really possible for someone who has practiced swordplay for eighteen years to defeat someone who has practiced swordplay for a hundred years?"
"Yes." Rosalie said confidently, "Just look at Wang and you'll know. That guy is smarter and more knowledgeable than many white-haired scholars I've met."
Oscar: "So only genius humans can join the team? The others are immortals who exchange their age for experience."
Rosalie: "I don't think Elizabeth is that talented. Her only real outstanding thing is her appearance. But she is so beautiful, and as a warlock she can only shoot scorching rays."
Oscar: "Are you trying to encourage me or do you really think Elizabeth is not good enough?"
"I really think she's just average. It's just that her attendant Marika is stronger."
Oscar pouted: "And you came with a burden like me."
Rosalie laughed. "It's a novelty to see you being so self-deprecating."
At this time, the captain of the new Star Chaser said, "If nothing unexpected happens, there might be a lizardman joining us this time. Lizardmen are short-lived, and thirty years old is considered long-lived. Most lizardmen don't live past 20."
"Really?" Oscar asked.
The captain replied, "Really. That's why it's rare to hear of humans and lizardmen becoming friends, because their lives are so short. After just a few years of getting to know each other, you can attend their funerals.
"Although humans are a short-lived race compared to dwarves and elves, they can still live for 60 years. Nobles who take good care of themselves often live to 70 or 80 years old."

As for the king, when he was flying in the sky, he always felt that Elizabeth was sticking to him.
"Elizabeth, it's a bit hot. Why don't you move a little further away so that the wind can blow between us?" he said.
"Oh." Elizabeth moved away angrily, and the wind blew in.
Marika: "Could you please stop being so unromantic?"
Wang: "How could I not understand romance? I told you we could do that, and I just wanted to study what that was all about. But she refused!"
Marika: "You are so unromantic."
"How can I not understand romance? It's obvious that we both wanted to be together. I saw that she was responsive and she was responsive to me. Is my attitude wrong?"
Marika looked at Elizabeth, whose face had turned red, and shook her head.
Wang was still talking loudly: "I saw it clearly during the few days I lived in the captain's room. In the morning, when she was not wearing a corset and whalebone bra, it appeared on her nightgown as soon as she saw me...Don't pinch my feet!"
Marika: “Shut up.”
Wang: "Why should I shut up...Oh, I understand, okay, I'll shut up."
As soon as he finished speaking, the griffin under his crotch started to clink its beaks. I guess Xiaobai was using this way to express that she was laughing.
The king said worriedly, "Just laugh if you want to, don't change back! Although I have prepared the Feather Fall Technique, this is actually for when we enter the underground palace and encounter the vertical shaft again."
Nini: "Do you want to fall into the shaft again?"
"Hey, it's better to be prepared. After all, my Feather Fall saved us last time. Otherwise, we would have had to use the Dragon Transformation in the shaft, and then the Dragon Transformation time would have run out. It would have depended on our luck whether we could escape later. I even prepared two Feather Falls today. After all, I've been promoted to the fourth ring, so I have one more first ring spell slot."
Elizabeth: "Is your right eyelid twitching or your left eyelid twitching today?"
"Neither of them jumped. I paid close attention to the condition of my eyelids when I woke up in the morning. After all, we were going to attack the cult's base. But there was no movement. Either the cult had moved away after seeing so many Lizardmen warriors coming, or the Lizardmen warriors were able to crush the cult. These guys are very reliable in close combat."
At this time, Nini suddenly said, "There is thick smoke on the ground ahead."
Wang frowned: "What?"
"There is thick smoke on the ground. Xiaobai is basically flying along the tributary you took yesterday. I guess that should be the lizardman village you visited yesterday." Nini reported truthfully.
Wang: "Can you tell when the fire started?"
"I can only tell you that the fire was huge and almost the entire village was burning. But when did it start... I'm sorry, I really don't have the ability to do that."
Wang was shocked. "Damn it. Yesterday I thought that the cult could only do some minor things to the Lizardmen and that they shouldn't have enough power to do anything to them. Did I make a wrong judgment?"
Marika: "Now I suggest we retreat immediately. Since the enemy can burn the Lizardmen village, they can ambush us down there."
Wang: "Nini! You have good eyesight, can you see the ambusher?"
Nini: "The woods are too dense, and the smoke blocks our view."
Wang thought for a few seconds and said, "Let's land first, by the river. Marika! You go and scout. I believe in your stealth ability."
Marika: “Okay.”
After saying that, she immediately released her hand that was holding the "stirrup", then switched to a diving posture and rushed towards the ground.
Wang: "Wait for me to perform the Slow Fall Technique on you!"
Nini: "It's just this height, Zhuoer shouldn't be afraid."
After saying that, she let go.
Wang: "What's going on between you two? Are you competing with each other?"
Marika landed directly in the dense forest, while Nini walked directly on the treetops as if it were flat ground. It turns out that forest elves can really "fly" on the treetops.
Wang: "Fuck, you elves, dare your physical abilities be more exaggerated?"
After the two elves were gone, Xiaobai's flying became much lighter. She found a shallow beach by the river and threw the rope net below into the shallow water.
The dwarf's curse was heard: "Carliss Newman's belly button! Damn it!"
Then the larger griffin landed on the waterless part of the shallows.
It's hard not to suspect that she did it on purpose.
After landing, Wang suddenly became alert: "Wait a minute! Both elves are gone, and we have no ability to guard now! Elizabeth, call your magical pets quickly, as animals they can at least provide some warning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his magic pet flew over the heads of several people, and the crow opened its mouth and said sarcastically: "Fool, fool!"
The dwarf struggled to get out of the rope net, but ended up being entangled even tighter by the net.
At this time, the barbarian shouted: "Hey!"
Then use an axe to split the rope net.
Dwarf: "Why is your axe so sharp? Aren't there any high requirements for the sharpness of an axe?"
Gotrek: "I want to shave."
"Shave!" the dwarf shouted.
Xiaobai transformed back at this time and asked, "Do you need me to transform into an animal with stronger alert ability?"
Wang: "You change!"
So Xiaobai turned into a big white cat - no, a big white tiger!
The king looked at the tiger and said, "Wait a minute, this climate is not suitable for tigers, right? You should transform into a fierce beast in the rain forest."
Xiaobai roared at Wang and then turned into a white leopard.
King: "That's right! This is the best! You go up the tree to keep watch and set up an ambush. Flint! Recall your armor, let's get ready! The cult might launch a surprise attack!"
Flint's armor was back on him, and the shorty yelled, "Got it!"
Chapter 160 The Cult Appears
Xiaobai transformed into a leopard (Bai) and climbed up to the treetop next to him.
The dwarf and the barbarian stood on the east and west sides of the landing point respectively, each guarding one direction.
The king then mobilized his own pet to guard the river surface and prevent anyone from coming up from the river.
Suddenly, the roar of a leopard came from the tree.
Before everyone could figure out what was happening, the white leopard rolled down the tree with injuries all over its body and turned back into Xiaobai.
Although Xiaobai didn't seem to have any injuries, she still performed rejuvenation magic on herself.
In the blink of an eye, a dark shadow swooped down from the tree and rushed towards Xiaobai.
However, the moment the black shadow pounced on Xiaobai, she turned into a hare and used the sudden shortening of her height to avoid the cold light sweeping over her.
Then the hare ran all the way and jumped back to the king's feet.
The hare swelled up into a white one and shouted, "Water monkeys! There are so many!"
"Roaring Magic!" After Wang finished reciting the spell, he shouted the name of the spell loudly - actually this was not necessary, but he did it anyway!
The sudden sound waves even changed the refractive index of the air, creating a "ripple" that could be seen with the naked eye, but of course all of this was fleeting. The effect of the spell was more reflected through the shattered bodies of the water monkeys.
