Arcane Universe - Chapter339

After the green dragonkin scout left, Feng Chou summoned a parrot familiar commonly seen in the Amazon Rainforest. He attached Qiankun Pagoda to the familiar and entered Qiankun Pagoda himself, commanding the parrot to fly into the depths of the forest.

Feng Chou didn't immediately enter the mesa. He commanded the parrot to fly along the edge of the mesa.

There were a few Troll villages scattered in the forest around the mesa.

Near the villages, a few old and weak Troll were gathering fruits and leaves. The fruits were the Troll's food, while the leaves were used to feed a type of fat livestock with a long nose.

Qiankun Pagoda told Feng Chou that the livestock was a type of low-level magical beast. It was full of vitality and had excellent stamina. Its flesh was high in calories and could also replenish vitality. For cultivators, it was excellent meat.

Apart from livestock farming, Qiankun Pagoda didn't see any other agricultural facilities near the Troll villages. Clearly, the Troll didn't have the habit of farming.

Apart from the villages, Qiankun Pagoda also detected Troll hunting squads in the forest more than once.

There were also Troll fishermen by the rivers and lakes.

Troll villages were scattered widely around the mesa. Their territory spanned more than a hundred thousand square kilometers.

For a fishing and hunting society, a vast hunting ground was necessary for survival.

To be able to raise thirty to forty thousand Troll in a hundred thousand square kilometers of land was already a sign of the abundance of the Amazon rainforest.

After scouting the perimeter of the mesa, Feng Chou commanded the parrot to fly deeper into the mesa.

After entering the center of the mesa, hidden sentries began to appear in the forest.

Troll Hunters were a branch of the Ranger class. The forest was their home ground. Rangers were even better at hiding in the forest than thieves.

Troll Hunters weren't bad either.

Unfortunately, under Qiankun Pagoda's scan, the Troll Hunters were naturally useless.

As they continued to go deeper, a group of wyverns suddenly appeared in Feng Chou's line of sight.

Flying Dragon was the name people gave to flying dragon beasts.

The so-called Dragon Beast was a creature born after a giant dragon mated with a magical beast or even a wild beast.

Unlike Dragon Descendants, most Draconic Beasts had low intelligence and were similar to wild beasts. Most Draconic Beasts had inherited the powerful bodies and breathing abilities of Dragons, but apart from a few Draconic Beasts, most Draconic Beasts could not inherit the Dragons' magic abilities.

Just like the Dragon Descendants, the appearance and abilities of Draconic Beasts mainly depended on their Dragon Bloodline.

However, there was one exception, and that was the ability to fly.

Dragons' ability to fly mainly came from spells, not their wings. Their wings were not able to support their huge bodies to fly.

Since the dragon beasts could not inherit the dragon's magic ability, they naturally could not inherit the dragon's powerful flying ability.

Therefore, although many dragon beasts had wings, they were too small and could not fly. Some of them did not even have wings.

Only when a giant dragon mated with some flying magic beasts would it give birth to a dragon beast with the ability to fly, that is, a flying dragon.

The group of wyverns that suddenly appeared in Feng Chou's line of sight had green scales and wide fleshy wings. They looked like Green Dragons, but they were smaller and did not have horns on their heads.

Adult Green Dragons were more than twenty-five or twenty-six meters long and had a wingspan of nearly thirty meters.

This group of wyverns was only about ten meters long, but their wings were much larger than that of Dragons, with a wingspan of almost twenty meters.

Feng Chou was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the wyverns. He just commanded the parrot magic pet to lower its altitude and dive into the canopy below.

Because of their low intelligence, Draconic Beasts were easy to tame. Almost all the intelligent races in the Southern Continent had a tradition of taming Draconic Beasts.

Most adult Draconic Beasts (except for White Draconic Beasts) had high-level strength and were quite good beasts.

Dragon Descendants, Amazons, Tieflings, and Troll all had their own Draconic Beast Knights.

The Thunder Knights of the Amazons, the Iron Wave Knights of the Tieflings, and the Lava Knights of the Klass Red Dragon Kingdom were all famous knights in the Southern Continent who used Draconic Beasts as mounts.

In the Amazon jungle, because of the dense vegetation, Draconic Beasts were not popular. Whether it was Dragon Descendants or Troll, they all liked to tame wyverns.

Sure enough, as the group of wyverns approached, the parrot magic pet could see clearly that on the back of each green Draconic Beast, there was a burly, fully armed Troll with a large number of javelins on its back.

Generally speaking, it was best to coordinate with a flying mount with a long-range unit, just like how airplanes should be equipped with missiles and cannons, not with a long sword on the nose.

For example, the Gryphon Knights of the Dwarves in the Northern Continent.

The Dwarves were not rich in Mages. They had very few Mages, and most of them were not high level. Although they were not completely absent, they basically did not have a sense of existence.

Therefore, laymen thought that the Gryphon Knights of the Dwarves were melee soldiers who used lances to fight.

That was obviously impossible.

A Gryphon was more than four meters long, with a wingspan of nearly ten meters. Its body was like a strong lion, and its height was less than one and a half meters. Dwarves with short arms and legs would not be able to engage in melee combat when riding on such a huge Gryphon.

In fact, the Gryphon Knights of the Dwarves were generally held by the Dwarven Punishers, the exclusive clergy of the Dwarven Patron God, Moradin.

Moradin had two very famous clergies, one was the "Dwarven Defender" and the other was the "Dwarven Punisher."

The Dwarven Defender was equipped with heavy armor, good at melee combat, and specialized in hammering shields. With "Divine Shield," "Divine Shield," and other defensive divine spells, they could be called the most solid defensive warriors.

The Dwarven Punisher was good at controlling holy power for long-range attacks, such as "Hammer of Punishment," "Holy Strike," "Divine Strike," and other divine spells. The Dwarven Punisher was also good at attaching destructive holy power to weapons to enhance the destructive power of weapons, such as "Hand of Punishment," "Sanctified Weapon," and other divine spells.

The Gryphon Knights were also equipped with powerful long-range rifles. For example, the famous "Moradin's Wrath" was a long-range, powerful, and classic dwarf rifle that could be quickly reloaded with magic.

It was said that the Moradin's Wrath rifle, if combined with the "Hand of Punishment" divine spell enchantment, could even reach the level of a level-six single-target spell!

This rifle was the standard weapon of the most famous "Gryphon Knights of the Holy Mountain" of the Dwarves.

The same was true for the Wyvern Knights of the Southern Continent. The Wyvern Knights of the Amazon Kingdom were Amazon warriors who were best at lightning javelins.

Most of these Troll riding on the backs of Wyverns should be Troll Hunters. The Troll Hunters' throwing attacks were even more terrifying than the elven rangers' bows and arrows.

Troll Hunters could enchant javelins with magic teeth, turning them into magic weapons that could pierce armor. At the same time, they could also enchant javelins with various voodoo spells, so that the enemy who was hit by the javelin would be tortured by various voodoo spells while being hurt by the javelin.

Troll Hunters, like rangers, could only master some low-level spells, but even low-level voodoo spells were very difficult to deal with. For example, voodoo that paralyzed the body, voodoo that caused pain, voodoo that corroded flesh … Once hit by a spell, if the spell was not dispelled in time, a high-level warrior could lose his combat effectiveness within a few minutes.
