On the rescue team's side, as soon as they boarded the airship, they saw a large bird taking off from the shantytown.
The king’s first reaction: “Griffin?”
Nini: "No, it's not a griffon. I've seen griffins before, but I haven't seen that thing before."
Xiaobai also lay on the window of the airship cabin, squinting to see what was taking off in the distance: "Although the feathers of the gryphon are also very shiny, they are not so bright."
Flint: "What is it, let me see it!"
After he finished speaking, the barbarian lifted him up by his armor and made his head higher than the window sill.
Flint: "This luster looks like it's made of stone. It might be some kind of golem!"
Wang: "Is it a flying golem? But I didn't see the jet device. Does the stone golem obtain lift by flapping its wings? That's too inefficient!"
As he spoke, the flying golem group had already approached the airship.
Wang: "The shape of this golem looks like the Sphinx statue in Catalan tombs. My teacher's Chronicle of Gralia said that there were two kinds of golems in the ancient dynasty of Catalonia.
One is responsible for air control and the other is responsible for ground combat.
"Catalai... dug out the things from the lost ancient dynasty and used them?"
Flint: "Don't worry about this yet. These golems are obviously coming towards us and are about to be attacked!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the first golem passed by the airship.
The dwarf was a little embarrassed: "Well, with that posture just now, it's normal for me to make such a judgment, right?"
Seeing that the stone bird completely ignored the airship, Wang suddenly slapped his thigh: "They are looking for trouble in the floating city. Nini, are they flying towards the place where the floating city is parked?"
Nini and Marika replied together: "That's it!"
Wang: "Find a way to stop them! Nini, shoot the arrow!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Nini fired three arrows in succession, all of which hit a knight, causing the knight to slip off the back of the stone bird.
Nini was surprised: "Huh? I thought there must be some defense, but it ended up being shot down like this?"
The other stone birds were completely unmoved and flew in the same direction.
Nini: "Xiaobai, throw me on the back of a stone bird! I'll try to see if I can capture a stone bird!"
Xiaobai said "Oh" and was about to change when he suddenly stopped and asked: "Should I change and just drag you or what should I do?"
Nini: "You just fly out and I will catch your feet."
"Okay!"
Xiaobai transformed into a bald eagle and rushed out of the room, while Nini nimbly got through the window frame, grabbed the eagle's claw in the air, then grabbed the claw with one hand with her left hand, and pulled out the long sword with her right hand.
One man and one bird pounced on the rear guard of the Catalan Stonebirds.
When the defender saw this man rushing towards him, he immediately opened his bow and shot an arrow, but Xiaobai swayed and dodged.
While Xiaobai was shaking, Nini twisted her body to adjust her center of gravity as if she was deliberately matching her movements. The person and the bird looked like the same creature!
Xiaobai just held the guard's arrow and flew to him, and then Nini let go and fell naturally.
The defender tried to use the stone bird to change direction to avoid it, but it was too late, so he could only pull out his dagger and try to resist.
Nini flew directly into the air and kicked him in the face. She turned around in the air with the force of the reaction and landed on the bird's back.
The person who was kicked fell directly onto the back of the bird, and was grabbed by the shoulder by the passing bald eagle.
Xiao Bai was not polite and grabbed with all his strength. His sharp claws directly penetrated the man's leather armor, and bright red blood flowed out from the gaps in the leather armor——
The man screamed in pain and wanted to draw the dagger, but found that the dagger had just been drawn and had already flown out when he was kicked.
Xiaobai grabbed this guy and turned around to fly towards the airship.
Nini was riding on the back of the stone bird. This guy obviously noticed that the rider on his back had changed, so he turned over violently, trying to throw Nini off, but Nini reacted quickly and grabbed the saddle behind it.
The stone bird just kept rolling in the air, and it turned out that it couldn't get rid of Nini.
While rolling the stone, the bird's neck suddenly "stuck" and became stuck.
The whole stone bird rushed to the ground.
Nini jumped off the bird's back just before the impact and landed on the roof of a two-story building. Her feet shoveled a path through the tiles on the roof and stepped on the gutter of the eaves before stopping.
The shoveled tiles fell to the ground below with a crash. Fortunately, there was no one on the street at this time, so no one was hit.
The broken stone bird crashed into the house across the street.
Along with the loud noise, a stream of smoke and dust erupted from the hole made by the stone bird. Even with Nini's eyesight, she couldn't see clearly what was going on inside.
At this time, members of the Pelican Gang came galloping over on horseback - the airship had just taken off, so it had not yet left the Pelican Gang's territory.
"What fell?" the gang shouted.
Nini pointed to the sky: "I dropped a stone bird. You should recover it quickly. I'm going to chase the rescue team!"
At this time, the bald eagle descended from the sky and just passed over the elf's head. The next moment, the elf and the sea eagle were in the sky together.
Nini: "Have the prisoners been delivered?"
The sea eagle turned into Xiaobai: "Have you forgotten that I can't speak in my animal form?"
After saying that, she turned into Xiaobai again, but she had lost a lot of height just now. Nini stepped on the roof below and ran several times on the roof until Xiaobai flew up again.
Nini: "You just changed back, so you can answer me directly! Okay, don't change back! Wait until we get back to the airship!"
**
On the airship, Wang winked at Marika.
The drow immediately stepped forward and pushed the prisoner to the ground: "If you don't want to experience the feeling of life being worse than death, I'll ask you what to say!"
"I know, I know!" The prisoner immediately gave in. He was not as "hard" as the religious cult members he had encountered before, "You ask!"
Wang: "What do your flying troops ride?"
"It's the Sphinx, the ancient mythical beast that the Imperial Master resurrected from the tomb."
Wang: "Are they all? So many mythical beasts?"
"Yes."
Wang: "Is that a kind of creature?"
"No, it's a living stone sculpture."
Flint: "Sounds like a stone golem."
"It's not a golem! The National Preceptor said that it is a real creature, the highest essence of ancient Catalan technology."
Wang frowned: "A real creature?"
Flint: "You don't know either?"
Wang: "I know, but they are not creatures from this plane. According to my uncle's travel records in the multiverse, he has indeed seen creatures made of stone, and there are many kinds, some of which are based on silicon. Call to think.
"There are also calcium-based ones. But no matter which kind, there should be none in this plane."
"Yes." A strange female voice replied.
As if they were facing a formidable enemy, everyone in the rescue team put on a defensive posture and looked towards the direction from which the sound came.
Two strangers stood at the other end of the airship pod. One was completely covered in a robe, with only his beard exposed outside the shadow formed by the hood.
The other is a young girl with chocolate-colored skin and long straight hair cut into a symmetrical shape, hanging down like waterfalls on both sides of her head.
Flint said, "I have seen your hairstyle at the home of a friend from the East. They like to eat something called noodles, and your hairstyle is like noodles."
The girl laughed loudly: "Your description is very novel, but unfortunately I have never been to the East, and I have never seen noodles. This hairstyle of mine..."
Wang: "It is an imitation of the hairstyle of the ancient Catalan Empire. The priestesses and pharaoh's daughters of the ancient empire all had this hairstyle."
"You really know the goods." The girl smiled.
Elizabeth: "Isn't it?"
"Don't worry, Princess of Kuosania, I have no interest in being jealous with you. I just saw that you seemed to be coming towards us, so I took the initiative to welcome you. I know you have many questions to ask me."
