Unexpected Calamity

Fifteen minutes later.

The crossroads of Wind Chasing Trail Path.

Frogmen lay dead everywhere.

This battle proved to be far more difficult than Roger had anticipated.

There are only 16 frogmen.

The two sides fought fiercely and were evenly matched.

If it weren't for Roger's occasional unpredictable appearances and swift kills, the tough guys might not have been able to defeat these frogmen!

Even so.

After this team battle, six members of the Quasi-Horned Demon were injured—five with minor injuries and one with serious injuries! This demonstrates the fighting prowess of the Sloan Frogman.

Terrifying!...

afterwards.

Roger looted the spoils while reflecting on the team battle that had just taken place.

His long-held fears came true: the Quasi-Horned Demon were gradually falling behind his needs.

Their average level is around 33.

A tall stature combined with the blood of a devil.

It can indeed help them gain the upper hand when fighting ordinary monsters.

However, apart from the Woodpecker evolving into an elite template, the rest are just ordinary characters.

Even though Roger managed to extend their Hardstone Contract in time.

Faced with increasingly powerful monsters.

They started to cope with the pressure.

The Sloan Frogman's level is between 36 and 40.

These guys are short and their weapons are rudimentary, but don't underestimate these smooth-skinned dwarfs because of that.

Roger discovered this during the battle.

They have high muscle density, and their jumping ability and running speed are astonishing. Their attack style is quite similar to that of Black Tiger Master.

If the harpoon weapon hadn't been so inadequate, the losses suffered by the Quasi-Horned Demon would probably have been even more severe.

Most importantly.

They are very meaty.

That is, extremely high health points! Take Roger as an example.

Without triggering the Ten Years One Sword" and the Frog Nemesis, even Red Moon couldn't kill them with a single strike! It would be even more difficult for others to harm them.

"This isn't Common Template, is it..."

Roger grabbed the body of a frogman, examined it repeatedly, and then performed a preliminary dissection on it with a knife.

The autopsy results did not provide a definitive answer.

But at this very moment...

Roger suddenly had Flash of Inspiration: "Every time Red Moon slashes into their bodies, it seems like a layer of cherry-red light flashes by."

"Is that Magic Shield or Divine Power Shield?"

"Wait... why am I only realizing this now?"

Roger's expression was very serious.

On the data panel.

Sixth Sense:

You noticed something unusual about the Sloan Frogman.

During battle, they are protected by a ' Divine Power Shield '.

at the same time.

Someone is trying to block related information.

"Divine Power Shield" can absorb damage of all types.

No wonder these frogmen seem so fierce.

However, this ' Information Masking ' made Roger extremely wary.

This is an extremely powerful force of intervention!

If he hadn't possessed Extraordinary Perception, he might have been completely fooled.

For ordinary people, this can happen. "They may see the Divine Power Shield but subconsciously ignore it."

"If he's not High-level Divine Art Master, then he must be some evil god."

Roger's expression became even more serious.

But he will not back down because of this.

To be precise.

When the "True Sight" attribute appears.

No one could save the Sloan Frogman anymore.

He simply needs to gather more intelligence to refine his hunting plan.

Quickly clear the battlefield.

Roger and his men officially entered the Wind Chasing Trail.

This area consists of steep mountain roads that traverse the foothills of high mountains.

The terrain here is treacherous and the paths are complex.

There are two main roads, one to the east and one to the south, both of which lead to "Thunder Highlands" high above the sea.

After entering this area.

Roger did not rush to make a move.

Instead, they observed it for a full week.

During this period.

Roger carefully inspected the monster situation on the two main roads and countless side paths.

Unfortunately.

There aren't many monsters on Wind Chasing Trail.

The main road leading east was occupied by the fierce Sloan Frogman.

The nearby paths are also dotted with many frogman sentry posts.

There are usually more than 20 frogmen in the sentry posts. These guys are overly muscular, and their weapons have changed from harpoons to spears.

What's more troublesome is...

Among them are elite templates with red halos around their feet!

Seeing this scene.

Roger silently chose to retreat.

The road to the south was blocked by a group of arrogant Harpy.

It was a steep cliff.

The cliffs were covered with the lair of Harpy.

They are natural archers and magicians.

Anyone attempting to approach the cliff will have to endure one or two volleys of arrows and a surprise magical attack.

The Harpy, positioned high above, held a commanding view and possessed an absolute advantage in vision.

Their rank is similar to that of frogmen.

To avoid alerting the enemy.

Roger did not attempt to uncover the details of the Harpy during his reconnaissance.

certainly.

The most important reason is...

He also discovered "Divine Power Shield" on the Harpy! However, they were sapphire blue in color.

This means that the Harpy is supported by High-level Divine Art Master or a deity!

"Suddenly, all the brothers have someone to protect them."

"Isn't this just making things harder for me?"

Roger couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

As it stands now.

The Sloan Frogman and Harpy have taken over most of the Wind Chasing Trail.

This greatly reduces the living environment for the other monsters.

Roger's idea of leveling up his stats outside of these two monsters has basically failed.

Unfortunately, both of these monsters are typical social creatures.

The kind where pulling out a radish brings out mud along with it.

If you're not careful, the Quasi-Horned Demon horn can be wiped out in no time.

Roger must be extremely careful.

However, during this week...

He discovered that the two types of monsters had engaged in several small-scale clashes.

This could be a breakthrough!

The Wind Chasing Trail.

In the familiar Underground Camp.

They meticulously perfected the last detail of the hunting plan.

Roger let out a long sigh of relief.

He had considered many methods.

For example, sowing discord—

This lured the Sloan Frogman and the Harpy into a large-scale war.

They can then profit from it.

But he quickly rejected the proposal.

Firstly, his observations over the past few days made him realize that these two kinds of monsters were simply incompatible!

Both sides have their own strengths in combat terrain and areas.

One is in the sky, the other on the ground; neither dares to rashly enter the other's territory.

The so-called small-scale conflicts were just a lot of fighting.

Both sides traded barbs aggressively.

When the retreat was called, not a single person was injured.

Only Roger, the onlooker, was silently grieving.

According to current intelligence...

We can basically rule out the option of "there are High-level Divine Art Master among the monster groups".

That means there are temples in the settlements of frogmen and Harpy.

Moreover, it was a temple of considerable size.

Only in this case.

Only then can they possess an inexhaustible Divine Power Shield.

Roger's thinking was very clear.

Frogmen without Divine Power Shield are true brothers.

So tonight.

He plans to visit the frogmen's headquarters!...

at night.

Below the cliff on the Wind Chasing Trail.

The frogman soldiers are diligently carrying out their patrols.

And it's in a place they can't see.

Roger, wearing only Invisibility Cloak, is advancing at breakneck speed! He uses Ladder Cloud Steps.

He ran against the wind among the steep cliffs.

It still felt a bit cool.

A short while later.

He then infiltrated the frogman settlement's headquarters alone! It was a settlement built in a treacherous terrain resembling a narrow "First Line Sky".

However, once you delve deeper into it...

There's more to it than meets the eye.

What's rather strange is...

There aren't many frogmen in the settlement.

Roger casually tugged at the Invisibility Cloak.

I adjusted my posture to make myself more comfortable.

He then cleverly bypassed the guards' line of sight.

Guided by the Sixth Sense and the Ultimate Hunter.

He successfully found the deeply hidden temple!

To Roger's surprise...

The temple looked ordinary, not as grand and imposing as he had imagined.

Frogmen guarded the perimeter of the temple.

However, there was no indication of Divine Duty among them.

Roger walked around the temple three times.

They carefully observed the surroundings and interior.

Hint: You have discovered the War God Temple.

"Sixth Sense: This temple poses no threat to you."

"These days, what kind of Wild Chicken Evil God dares to call himself God of War?"

Roger almost burst out laughing.

This kind of Divine Duty is inherently asking for trouble.

Generally speaking, only those clueless, eccentric trainees who want to debut as the center of attention would come up with such a tacky name.

The purpose is to deceive believers.

Besides the title of "God of War".

Roger didn't get any additional information.

The temple's exterior offered limited views, and he couldn't even make out the statues.

Through Sixth Sense.

He was fairly certain that this shady temple posed no threat.

However, to be on the safe side...

Before entering.

Roger still consulted the oracle for himself.

"Divination result: Rushing into a temple may bring Unexpected Calamity."

Roger was slightly taken aback.

This was the first time he had encountered such contradictory results from "Complete Sixth Sense" and "Qi Divination Technique"! "Could it be related to ' Information Masking '?"

Roger fell into deep thought.

Theoretically speaking.

The Sixth Sense is more reliable.

The results of divination by Qi Divination Technique may be deliberately masked or misleading.

However, considering the various unusual features of the Sloan Frogman...

He also felt that the temple was somewhat strange, which was not unacceptable.

While he was thinking.

A strange sense of unease welled up in his heart!

"Sixth Sense: This temple before us may be Unexpected Calamity."

Without a word, Roger took off running! He didn't need to look at the data bar for any notifications.

In the blink of an eye, he saw a massive dimensional gate appear in the sky.

A battered mechanical construct slid out from inside.

That's Cowas People starship! And the location where the starship crashed.

It was indeed that temple!

Rumble! The starship embedded itself deeply into the rocks above the "First Line Sky," triggering a massive rockfall within the canyon!

The screams of the frogmen rose and fell.

A moment later.

Roger stood at the entrance to the First Line Sky passage, still shaken.

Looking up at the half-broken starship overhead.

I couldn't help but mutter to myself, "Is this Unexpected Calamity?"

"This thing is way too big!"

He was about to reach inside the starship to see what was inside.

But amidst the chaos.

Roger suddenly noticed that the "Divine Power Shield" on the frogmen had all disappeared! "Could that God of War have been smashed to pieces like that?"

His eyes lit up.

It's a starship.

Or are they frogmen?

"Of course I want them all!"

The next second.

Roger decisively activated the hunting mode!
