For the convenience of obtaining more stone pellets, the Cloud Manta remained hovering less than a hundred meters above the peak of its mountain habitation.
It confronted the Flying Dragon Flock.
Though lacking in intelligence, it possessed the survival instincts of a creature, able to easily judge the situation.
The number of Flying Dragons was too many; once a full-scale aerial battle ensued, it would easily be overwhelmed and get eaten alive.
In contrast, such a confrontation was relatively advantageous.
Its floating characteristic meant that as long as it stayed still, the energy consumption would be extremely low, and it could maintain this state for weeks.
Those Flying Dragons couldn't do it, even if they kept using wind to hover, as long as they were in the air, they would burn energy massively, and soon they would become fatigued and hungry.
