Chapter 173 Pilgrimage!
There are two major categories of wyverns, pterosaurs and wyverns.
Pterosaurs are just like the Thunder Pterosaur that Witte sees now. The limbs, sides of the trunk and part of the tail are connected by a layer of fleshy wings.
Don't underestimate this layer of fleshy wings. It can support the high-speed flight of pterosaurs. Under the same body shape, its strength is stronger than the wings of a giant dragon.
After all, it would be difficult for a dragon to fly for a long time with just its wings without the use of magic.
Of course, this is also related to the size of the dragon.
Just like Werther, his wings are larger, wider, and thicker than a giant dragon of the same size. The muscles connecting the wings on his back are much stronger than his limbs.
And this is why he looks much stronger than a normal silver dragon.
The pterosaur can fly for a long time without the help of magic, which shows the strength of the fleshy membrane.
Another major category of flying dragons, bipedal flying dragons, are somewhat similar in appearance to giant dragons that walk upright such as elemental dragons and five-color dragons.
However, they only have hind limbs, and the positions of the forelimbs are replaced by wings.
Whether it is a pterosaur or a bipedal flying dragon, there are very few larger species, because the strength of flying dragons lies in their speed and the dazzling magical fighting methods developed based on speed.
If the size is too large, the speed will be affected.
In addition, as a long-lived species, the flying dragon has the shortest life span, only about five thousand years.
Earth dragons are about ten thousand years old, let alone giant dragons.
Of course, this is all under normal circumstances. Breaking through the legend will be discussed separately.
In addition, flying dragons also have some points that are difficult to compare with earth dragons and giant dragons.
That is the improvement of strength!
The dragon doesn't do anything. As long as it develops normally, once it reaches adulthood, that is, when it reaches youth, it must be platinum. In its prime, it must be amethyst. If you are more diligent, you will be a legend.
Even if there are dragons who are too lazy or too talented to reach the level of legend in their prime, they will definitely become legends after they live to old age!
That’s why it’s said that dragons are creatures of God. It’s so perfect!
There is a difference between the earth dragon and the giant dragon, but the difference is not big. It must be gold in adulthood, platinum in prime age, and amethyst in old age.
However, if Earth Dragon wants to break through to legend, he must practice well, otherwise, he will not be able to break through to legend until his death.
Compared with the two above, Feilong is a bit stretched.
Adulthood must be silver, and then... there will be no more. If you don't practice hard, let alone be legendary. When your lifespan is exhausted, if you can reach platinum, you will be considered talented to scare the dragon!
Compared with the giant dragon and earth dragon that win by lying down, the flying dragon is the representative of the lack of strength without hard work.
If the flying dragons didn't really know dragon language magic and had the same wisdom as giant dragons and earth dragons, they might even be kicked out of the dragon clan.
Of course, this does not mean that flying dragons must be weak, but giant dragons and earth dragons must be very strong.
Within a race, if there are strong ones, there will also be weak ones.
Feilong is not a big boss without legendary status, and dragon is not an ordinary dragon that stays in the lower level of legend all his life.
Uh...well, although the legendary lower level is not ordinary either.
However, the number of dragons is small!
If I have to make a metaphor, the flying dragon is a human, and the giant dragon is a tiger. The numerical gap between the two sides is huge!
The Wind and Thunder Winged Dragon is considered to be the most powerful among the flying dragons.
Otherwise, when Si Kuo mentioned Sky City before, he would not have specifically mentioned that Gu Luo let a group of wind and thunder pterosaurs be the managers of Sky City.
It is also worth noting that only the old age of dragons does not refer to physical aging.
…
Witte looked at the approaching team of Thunder Winged Dragons, but he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
There are nearly a thousand wind and thunder winged dragons, of which adult dragons account for nearly two-thirds, and the other third are immature dragons.
The minor dragons and some adult dragons, who were dragging large stone boxes with magic chains, were wrapped in the center of the group.
It looks normal, like a group of people migrating.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the composition of this team is not reasonable!
For the Dragon Clan, adulthood is the beginning of strength improvement!
And in this team, regardless of the dragon eggs, there is not even an old dragon. Most of the adult dragons are silver-level, only a small part are gold-level, and there are only three platinum-level dragons.
"They're on a pilgrimage!"
Just when Werther was confused, Si Kuo's voice suddenly sounded.
Witte was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some confusion: "What is a pilgrimage?"
After hearing Si Kuo's roar, Antawana and Linstar also noticed this group of future traveling companions.
After hearing what Si Kuo said, he stopped what he was doing and listened curiously.
And Si Kuo had no intention of hiding anything and explained directly: "Pilgrimage is a unique activity of the Thunder Winged Dragon tribe in the Fast Continent where you are.
Their goal is the city in the sky we are about to go to!
Of course, the pilgrimage does not refer to Guluo, but the area where the Sky City is located.
The two elements of wind and thunder there are extremely rich, and are regarded as holy places by the Wind and Thunder Winged Dragons. Every once in a while, the Wind and Thunder Winged Dragons' tribe will send some members to the Sky City.
The situation of each tribe is different, so the time interval for the pilgrimage is also different.
So, if you see a large group of wind and thunder pterosaurs on the road, it is likely that they are on a pilgrimage.
However, their destination is not necessarily the Sky City!
The pilgrimage has another name, called seed travel. Does it sound strange?
But in fact, this way of travel can allow a group of wind and thunder pterosaurs to exist for a long time.
Every place has a limit to its endurance. When a population is too large, it is the beginning of their decline, because the surrounding environment cannot bear the increasingly large number.
Especially for our dragon clan.
Seed travel is to use part of the wind and thunder pterosaur clan as seeds, let them go with the wind, and take root after finding a suitable place.
In this way, it not only satisfies the yearning of the young dragons in the clan for the outside world, but also relieves the pressure of the surrounding environment, allowing the clan to continue to survive.
In this way, the wind and thunder pterosaurs are almost all over the Fast Continent.
Of course, other flying dragons have similar practices, but they are not as famous as the pilgrimage of the wind and thunder pterosaurs. "
Hearing this, Witt suddenly realized!
No wonder the composition of this group of wind and thunder pterosaurs is so strange. It turns out that they are just a small part of a tribe.
But...
"Are there really any tribes of dragons willing to leave?"
Squaw said very affirmatively: "Of course, but you are the dragons that came out of the dragon's nest, and your desire for freedom is not that strong.
In fact, there are many more wind and thunder pterosaurs who want to go on a pilgrimage than what you see now.
It's just that if too many leave, it will be detrimental to the development of the dragon's nest.
So, many dragons are forced to stay!"
