Chapter 427: Eyes of the Demon Star
Xiao Jie spread his wings and soared into the sky.
He did not fly into the fog rashly. Judging from the information revealed by Master Xiaoyue, this fog was obviously unusual and full of dangers.
There must be a reason why the Tianyu Army's scouts were defeated several times.
The Tianyu Army are all powerful flying monsters. Those who are able to perform reconnaissance missions will naturally be even stronger. It is estimated that at the very least they have to be elite units, and they still cannot escape unscathed. My own beast-formation technique is probably not as good as those before.
Therefore, Xiao Jie decided to fly over the fog.
He continued to climb higher and higher. As he flew higher and higher, the scenery on the ground became smaller and smaller. However, he could never see the top of the fog in front of him. It seemed as if it covered the sky and was endless.
Xiao Jie spiraled upward until——
Huh—huh—huh! Hey, why isn't it rising?
Xiao Jie was surprised to find that no matter how he flapped his wings or pressed the space bar, he could not fly any higher.
Is it an air wall?
No, not an air wall.
Air walls are present in many games. After all, the game map cannot be infinitely large, there will always be boundaries.
But generally speaking, the air wall is really a wall. Once you hit it, you can't move forward.
However, at this time Xiao Jie was able to observe that when he flapped his wings continuously, he could still fly a little higher, but would fall down immediately. It didn't seem like he had hit a wall, but more like he could not fly anymore.
He immediately thought of his previous flying experience in real life. Could it be that the air at high altitudes was too thin and his lift was limited, so he couldn't continue climbing?
Well, this game is detailed enough.
It seems that different flying skills should have different upper limits on flying altitude.
If it was a flying monster, it should be able to fly higher, or it could be the cloud-flying technique used by the immortal magician...
I have transformed into just an ordinary goshawk, and this is probably my limit.
Seeing that the fog was still there in front of him but had become thinner, Xiao Jie had no choice but to fly into it. While flying towards the south along the thinner areas of the fog, Xiao Jie observed his surroundings.
There are also flying units among the monsters. The goshawk that I transformed into is only at the beast level. I may not be able to defeat it if I encounter it.
Fortunately, due to the high altitude, the fog has become very thin, and the vision is still acceptable. At least the scenery within one or two hundred meters can be seen clearly. If we are attacked, we will not be too late to prepare.
After flying in the fog for about twenty minutes, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front. Xiao Jie immediately perked up, slowed down, raised his head and observed carefully. There seemed to be a mountain on the opposite side of the fog, which cast a huge shadow under the sunlight, which was still clearly visible even in the fog.
Xiao Jie sneaked cautiously, observing carefully along the gaps in the fog. Suddenly, the fog in front of him cleared up, and Xiao Jie could see clearly.
That is - a strange tower!
The huge tower-like building soars into the sky and is more than twice as tall as the giant tree in Giant Wood City.
The tower has a strange spiral structure, and the uneven surface of the mountain is covered with a layer of dark red substance, as if a strange mucous membrane was formed after the liquid dried up.
The source of these liquids comes from huge holes in the mountain. The scarlet mist gushes out from those holes and dissipates into the air.
There are many protrusions between the spiral steep slopes, like bee pupae growing between the cliffs, and they seem to be moving faintly.
The whole tower exudes a grotesque and alien style.
It will make people subconsciously feel very uncomfortable and have some bad associations.
Is this the Monster Star Tower? It really lives up to its name.
Xiao Jie felt a little frightened and was looking for somewhere to fly in.
Buzz buzz!
The sound of wings vibrating the air made Xiao Jie subconsciously roll sideways and hide in a mist. He activated the Eagle Eye Technique and observed carefully in the dim sunlight through the mist. He saw that in the sky around the Demon Star Tower, countless flying monsters with strange wings were circling the tower, hovering and dancing.
Some of them have insect wings, emit strange buzzing sounds, and fly around in circles at low altitudes, like a huge swarm of insects.
Some have bat-like wings and glide silently in the air.
There were also some humanoid monsters with huge wings, ferocious faces and mouths full of fangs, hovering and patrolling at the highest altitude.
Xiao Jie pressed the button that displayed the health bar, and instantly the screen was filled with red health bars.
This horrifying scene made Xiao Jie gasp.
Damn, this is really 360-degree all-round monitoring.
It would be fatal if he wanted to fly over there. He looked at the top of the tower and saw an extremely long health bar.
That is?
With the help of the Eagle Eye Technique's farsightedness, Xiao Jie saw that at the very top of the tower, there was a huge eyeball, half wrapped in the flesh membrane growing on the top of the tower. Countless blood vessels and meridians grew around the purple-red pupil, constantly rotating like a person with ADHD.
Eye of the Demon Star (derivative of ???): Level 59. HP 9500.
Xiao Jie was shocked that a mere derivative body could actually be level 59!
Then how many levels does the main body have to be?
A derivative of ???? What is this????? Is it the Monster Star Tower itself? Could it be that the Monster Star Tower is alive!
Before Xiao Jie could exclaim in amazement, the huge eyeball suddenly turned, as if feeling his gaze, and looked towards Xiao Jie fiercely. A scarlet beam of light shot out from the pupil and instantly locked onto Xiao Jie.
A layer of DEBUFF immediately appeared above Xiao Jie's head.
[Gaze of the Demon Star: You are being gazed at by the Eye of the Demon Star. You cannot become invisible or leave the battle.]
Xiao Jie felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Without hesitation, he turned around and accelerated madly in the direction he came from.
There was a sound of wings flapping in the air overhead, approaching quickly, and occasionally there was a strange low growl, like a pig's roar, shrill and terrifying.
Xiao Jie dived without any hesitation.
Dive: Put your wings together and dive towards the ground. During the dive, your flight speed will continue to increase, up to 200%. During this process, you can use the combat skill [Dive Attack].
Since the goshawk has advanced flying skills, it can dive as fast as an arrow and instantly create distance.
After diving in the fog for more than ten seconds, the front suddenly became dark, and it was the ground!
Xiao Jie hurriedly spread his wings, but because he was flying too fast, he plunged to the ground and rolled several times before standing up.
Looking around quickly, he could see a group of maggot-like monsters swallowing mud not far away. As they ate, they pulled out round mud balls covered with mucus. There were also many huge monsters carrying these mud balls, and they seemed to be building some kind of building. Most of these large monsters looked stupid, and they were probably the laborers among the monsters.
Many buildings that are almost completed can be seen around.
The sound of him landing immediately caused a commotion. Fortunately, the demon star's gaze had disappeared at this time. Xiao Jie immediately used an invisibility talisman to hide his figure.
He quickly left the crash site, trying to stay away from the patrolling monsters.
"What was that just now?"
"Something fell from the sky."
"Search, search for me, find the Tracer Bug!"
Xiao Jie heard many strange growls, but he did not stop at all. He stayed as far away from the crash site as possible. The invisibility talisman was only effective for a few dozen seconds, so he had to hurry to switch identities.
After finally finding an empty corner, the invisibility effect disappeared.
Xiao Jie did not hesitate.
Phantom Pearl - Change!
Xiao Jie's figure flashed, and he suddenly turned into a monster with a triangular face and a thin body, but he had a pair of sickle arms like a mantis. The two curved hooks on the sickle arms were extremely sharp, flashing with cold light - he actually transformed the double swords he was equipped into them.
He glanced at the name above his head - Demon Overseer.
Not bad, not bad. This identity is quite useful.
Walking out from the corner, Xiao Jie cursed at the giant monsters who were working.
"Get to work you slackers!"
Buzz! Countless black shadows swooped down from the fog.
Xiao Jie was mixed in with the group of monsters and saw a group of flying monsters circling overhead. Their upper bodies were like humans, but their lower bodies were a big belly with the arthropods unique to insects. They had two pairs of insect wings on their backs and four arms each holding a hook knife and a crossbow.
This thing can actually fly and use two sets of weapons for combat. It can fight both far and near and can fly. These functions are pretty powerful.
Tracer (offspring of Elytra): Level 38. HP: 880.
Although they are just small monsters, judging from their level and health, they are not easy to deal with. If there are more than a dozen of them in a group, Xiao Jie will have no idea how confident he is if a fight really breaks out.
Fortunately, the camouflage of this Phantom Spirit Pearl was quite reliable, and Xiao Jie was not conspicuous at all in the melee among the monsters. The bugs circled around for a while and when they didn't find anyone, they quickly flew away.
Huh... Fortunately, fortunately, Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief, at least he did not die halfway.
He glanced at the huge demon tower that towered into the clouds in the distance. Since he couldn't get in through the air, he could only enter through the ground.
