While escaping, the protagonist was separated from both the Flying Eagle and the Mantis Tiger.
This is normal, because the eyesight of the Flying Eagle and the Mantis Tiger is too poor. With the speed at which the flies are running away now, they have already flown over without even seeing the obstacles in front of them clearly.
At this speed, they were unable to make any effective maneuvers, so the fly mount, which had lost control of the knight, was completely relying on its own instinct to escape.
When the fly mounts find that their straight-line flight speed is not as fast as the wasps chasing behind them, they naturally choose to turn in order to escape the predators. In terms of flight dexterity, flies completely surpass wasps.
But the flying eagle and the mantis tiger turned in the same direction, so they and the protagonist who ran away in a straight line were separated from each other.
The protagonist has been manipulating Xiao Qing II to escape straight south. He believes that a straight escape distance is the shortest. But in doing so he committed an empiricist error.
Because the protagonist has good eyesight and rich driving experience, under his control, Xiaoqing II narrowly avoids every obstacle in front of him.
But when the protagonist looks back, he is no longer proud. He found that he was alone, but all three wasps were chasing him, getting closer and closer.
The protagonist thought for a moment and understood the cause and effect. The speed of flies is not as good as that of wasps. Although my own operation is on the level, it still affects the speed. Therefore, the three wasps simultaneously chose themselves as prey because they were slower and did not avoid turning.
Thinking of this, the protagonist let go of the reins and let Xiaoqing II decide his own escape route.
This move slightly accelerated the speed, but the Wasp only had the protagonist as its target now. Xiao Qing II was unable to get rid of the pursuers by rushing left and right, and the distance was even slowly getting closer.
The protagonist lowered his head and glanced at the ground. Everything on the ground was retreating rapidly. This was the protagonist's last resort. If he could not escape from the air, he could only jump to the ground again to look for an escape.
But this time, even if you jump to the ground, you may not be able to survive.
Regardless of how far the current location is from the north bank of the river, whether the protagonist can return to the "Bridgehead" alone. Even the current three wasps are difficult to deal with.
The last time the protagonist was chased by a wasp, he could also choose to injure the only pursuer and then land. The injured wasp escaped and did not pose a threat to the protagonist who had lost mobility on the ground.
But now there are three wasps behind him. According to the most optimistic prediction, the protagonist can injure or even kill one of them, and Xiaoqing II will lead one away.
Then, when the main corner lands, there is also a wasp to deal with. And the protagonist may also be injured, just like the last time he injured the wasp queen's leg.
It is impossible for the injured protagonist to defeat a wasp flying in the air on the ground. No matter how strong he is, his hind legs will not be able to support him with all his strength, and agile enemies will continue to attack him. Shock until you subdue yourself.
Now, is there any way to stop the wasp behind?
The protagonist checked the equipment on his body. The spear had been damaged and lost, and there were only six slings left next to the fly saddle.
Yes, there's also a sling. These slings are just right for dealing with some flying insects.
Although theoretically speaking, it is impossible for a sling to penetrate the thick carapace of a wasp. However, there is a long rope attached to the back of the thrown stone. If it can be thrown out and entangled in the wings of the pursuers, they can be made to fall.
The protagonist immediately untied a sling, trying to spin the sling before throwing it behind him.
But he immediately found that he couldn't do it. If he is flying at low speed, he can also swing the sling and throw it like he is on the ground.
But now Xiao Qing was flying at high speed, and the oncoming strong wind caused the sling to be blown straight behind him. It collapsed straight and he could not swing it at all.
The protagonist was unwilling to throw the unswung sling directly behind him, hoping for a miracle to happen, but the unswung sling fell to the ground softly, without any effect.
The protagonist tried again, with the same result.
However, the protagonist gained some experience. He took out the third sling and waited for an opportunity.
When Xiao Qing II made a sharp turn and once again opened up a little distance from the pursuers, the protagonist dropped the sling upwards from behind.
The sling is thrown up to a certain height and then falls back down. At this time, the wasps were slowing down and turning.
These wasps were larger and their steering was far less flexible than flies. When they turned, they had to reduce their speed. The three wasps were very close to each other, so the sling hit one of the wasps in the head when it fell.
But that was all. The stone bounced off the wasp's hard head and then continued to fall to the ground. The long rope behind it failed to entangle the wasp as expected.
The wasp that was hit didn't even react and continued to chase after it. Perhaps, in its view, it was just hit by a floating object in the air while flying, and no harm or pain was caused at all.
But the protagonist sees a glimmer of hope.
At the second sharp turn, the protagonist threw two slings behind him at the same time.
This time, the protagonist was not disappointed again.
Due to the centrifugal force caused by the turn and the force generated by the sling falling from a height, both slings rotated.
The rotating sling also entangled one of the unlucky wasps. Its wings and head were immediately wrapped in long ropes, and its wings could no longer maintain high-speed vibration.
Therefore, although the wasp struggled hard, the more it struggled, the tighter it became and it fell helplessly to the ground.
These ropes are made of hemp fiber and are very strong. Moreover, the entangled position will not be bitten by the wasp's mouth. The protagonist can imagine that it is impossible to break free with the strength of the wasp's wings and six limbs.
The wasp that lost the ability to fly fell to the ground and could not escape. The fate that awaited it was self-evident.
However, the protagonist should now be more concerned about his own destiny.
Although one of the pursuers was eliminated, the other two wasps did not care about the life and death of their companions. They still chased the protagonist closely.
The protagonist has only one sling left on hand. If he throws it out, he may be lucky enough to shoot down another wasp, but this probability is very slim.
And there are no other weapons around the protagonist, except for a little rope.
Do you want to throw the sling?
What makes the protagonist even more embarrassed is that Xiaoqing II struggled to escape but still failed to get rid of his pursuers. The protagonist can already feel that Xiao Qing II's physical strength is about to reach its limit.
In terms of dexterity, flies have the advantage, but in terms of endurance, flies are not as good as wasps...
