Four Days Later
Four days later.
After Roger successfully cleared out the outermost Harpy and the Phoenix Feather Platform.
He already had 225 Tinder Pouch on him.
That is, 900 squares.
He's now equivalent to 900 mobile suitcases!
"This thing would be perfect for being a personal shopper..."
He patted the palm-sized Tinder Pouch with satisfaction.
The next moment.
He stepped into the second circle of the "Mosquito Coil".
Compared to the outermost ring.
The second lap has much more space.
We hadn't gone far.
Roger then discovered a group of Harpy gathered together!
"Hint: You have discovered a backup Harpy Spare Nest."
"Even the Spare Nest is like this?"
"That official nest must be so exciting..."
Roger suppressed his joy.
Under the dual scan of True Sight and Extraordinary Perception.
The situation near the "Spare Nest" is clearly visible.
It was a slightly raised platform.
The platform was covered with thick fur, but it wasn't phoenix feathers, nor did it resemble the fur of Harpy.
Among those pale golden tufts of fur.
They are eggs!
Seven Harpy stood outside the bushes.
They kept a certain distance from each other, each grooming their fur, seemingly indifferent to everything around them.
"With so many slackers, not a single one of them went to incubate the eggs?"
Roger was a little surprised.
The current situation is a little tricky.
Because he discovered another similar Spare Nest not far away! The two Spare Nest were not far apart.
If we can't get rid of this whole horde of Harpy quickly and efficiently, it might attract the attention of the neighboring women.
At that time, it will cause a huge stir.
If we lure out all the Harpy from Sky Nest.
Roger is going to be in deep trouble! In an instant...
He hesitated.
The best course of action is to retreat and then go back to get reinforcements! If Roger can get the Dragon-Catching Ballista up, Roger won't be afraid of anyone.
But climbing the Invisible Vine is really too hard.
In the absence of ultra-high-altitude flight equipment.
If he wants to bring his underlings up, he'll have to carry the Black Coffin and climb another 15,000 meters!
Just thinking about that scene...
Roger's inner thigh began to ache slightly.
"Looks like we have no choice but to try that trick."
He pondered for a moment.
I decided to try a combination technique that I had used in practice before, but which had not yet been tested in actual combat.
Near the Spare Nest.
Harpy is gracefully picking up a feather.
Suddenly.
A very faint sound rang out—
It's like a pebble falling into the center of a lake.
Accompanied by a soft "plop" sound.
A dark, bloody hole appeared on her temple! The Harpy's corpse slumped down silently.
Before the other monsters could react...
One after another, small holes appeared on their heads or necks!
Puff puff puff! In the blink of an eye.
All seven Harpy were wiped out.
At the corner.
Roger slowly lowered the revolver that was emitting black smoke and removed the 'air' covering the gun! In those brief twelve seconds...
Through continuous "rapid draw/switch" maneuvers, he used a total of 10 "Silent Justice" weapons and fired 9 shots! He ultimately succeeded in instantly killing 7 Harpy.
The hit rate was 100% – the two shots that missed hit the balls, so they don't count as misses.
Most importantly.
Roger successfully utilized the characteristic of "Qi Wandering Six Voids"—
He coated the revolver with 'qi' to achieve a silenced effect! A cool kill was completed.
The Harpy in the neighboring nest remained completely unaware.
Roger breathed a sigh of relief and quietly began cleaning up the battlefield.
On the data panel.
"You have achieved a new milestone by simultaneously utilizing the two expanded abilities of Martial Artist and Ammunition Expert in a single combat round – Gun-Martial Fusion."
"Gun-Martial Fusion: You practice boxing, you cultivate internal energy, you fire a gun, you conceal grenades, but you know you are a good-natured Hidden Hero."
"Corresponding title: Melee Expert (You gain an additional 1% damage when using abilities from different systems simultaneously)"
"Can't this Milestone System be a little more serious?"
Roger couldn't help but shake his head at the sarcastic description.
But deep down he was quite satisfied.
The core of the Hidden Hero Module is development.
Therefore, in the early stages.
Knowing how to flexibly combine the various extended capabilities to achieve a more powerful effect will truly test Roger's wisdom.
The "Gun-Martial Fusion" approach has made a good start.
He believes that more combination techniques will be developed in the future.
There's nothing good in the Harpy's Spare Nest.
It just has a lot of eggs.
Roger had at least 300 of them! He started scooping them up with practiced ease—a skill he was very professional at, after all, he had received rigorous training from his teachers, Johnny Turtle and the Thunder Dragon.
A short while later.
The eggs of 316 Harpy were stuffed into Tinder Pouch.
There seems to be something else underneath.
Roger fumbled around for a while, his expression darkening slightly.
Beneath those pale golden feathers.
He pulled out human skeletons one by one! And they weren't from adults.
They're all children's bones!
"I've long heard that Harpy like to steal human children."
"I've never seen it on a cliff."
"So they were all hidden here?"
This thought came to mind.
Roger quickened his pace!
If there are still living human children in this Sky Nest.
He'll save whoever he can.
Because there is a relatively large quantity of Tinder Pouch.
Roger deliberately increased the monster-killing efficiency.
Therefore, the second lap is cleared much faster than the first lap.
Just six hours later.
Roger then killed all the Harpy in that circle.
In this way...
The number of Harpy killed by him reached 780.
This number is still quite a distance from the progress bar reaching its maximum.
But if you add the 4,987 eggs lying quietly in the "Tinder Pouch," the situation becomes different.
at the same time.
His projectiles have an effective attack range of 108 meters.
This attribute perfectly matches the "Ammunition Expert's" main attack method—grenades, so the benefit is quite significant.
The only thing that Roger was somewhat dissatisfied with was...
The number of Phoenix Feather Platform in the second circle is very small.
The newly harvested phoenix feathers were few and far between.
This made him, who harbored Myriad Grid Pouch ambitions, sense a crisis.
Go around the corner ahead.
The environment of the third loop came into view.
It's different from the outside.
The feather wall on the third ring began to twist irregularly, somewhat resembling a maze.
Roger moved through them.
At first, only a few lone Harpy were found.
He couldn't find either the "Phoenix Feather Platform" or the "Spare Nest".
But he was very patient.
Calmly and resolutely continue exploring deeper.
Half an hour later.
He sensed a warmer area and immediately moved closer.
Behind the feather wall in front.
It was a square shrouded in smoke.
There are many sunken pools of water near the square, from which large amounts of steam are rising!
In the center of the square.
Roger spotted an enormous bird of prey!
Its size is ridiculously large, with a wingspan of over a hundred meters!
Its feathers are pale gold all over.
The feathers Roger saw in the "Spare Nest" must have originated from it! A large number of Harpy gathered around it.
Some Harpy In and Out in and out of its body.
I have no idea what they're doing.
Roger looked closely.
Through the mist, he saw eggs covering the entire mountainside beneath the birds!
"There are at least tens of thousands!"
"Harpy themselves; they rely on enslaving these birds to hatch their offspring?"
Roger quickly understood the relationship between these creatures.
It was at this moment.
On the data panel.
Hint: You have spotted the Emperor Eagle.
"Extraordinary Perception: You have detected that the Emperor Eagle is in extreme pain."
"Insight: The Emperor Eagle has spotted you and is pleading for your help."
