“Well… if you can save, it’s still better to save a little. Sometimes you don’t need to go all out.”
Just before departure.
Chen Yu instructed with a pained heart.
“Got it, got it.” Zhang Shiyu replied, but it was clear she didn’t take his words to heart at all.
With Bai Feifei leading the way, the 20 beautiful girls each threw a flirtatious glance at Chen Yu, then giggled and entered the teleportation array.
“My Lord, I actually don’t have to go.” Chen Jiu felt a bit intimidated seeing such a scene.
“It all depends on you.”
Chen Yu patted his shoulder and said solemnly.
“……”
Chen Jiu sighed and entered the teleportation array.
A moment later.
22 Adventurers appeared in the area that the Liar's Tavern had just taken over.
This was already the edge of Starlight Forest. Further east, they would exit the forest and reach a large plain where some larger territorial powers built by order races were located, forming alliances to resist the invasion of evil races.
For example, the Rabbit-Ear Person town was in that area.
However, the journey was quite long, and Chen Yu was not interested in focusing his attention there for now.
To the north lay the Giant Stone Hills.
The Giant Stone Hills were mostly occupied by Harpies. The terrain here was treacherous, making military movement difficult.
Affected by these natural barriers, outside races had no way to deal with these Harpies.
Moreover, the Giant Stone Hills were not suitable for farming.
The only possible livestock industry was sheep herding. Other than that, there was almost no food source.
This also meant that this area was basically uncontested by anyone.
Unless a large secret realm descended, it would attract a large number of War Lords.
Under such geographical advantages, these Harpies lived quite comfortably.
They would occasionally go to the great plain to snatch little rabbits and catch a few lambs to bring back.
It couldn’t be more comfortable.
However, these happy days changed on this day, with the appearance of a twin-tailed girl.
Zhang Shiyu bounced and jumped down from a giant stone gully.
Beside her, 20 small robots followed, most of them propeller-type, and some were jet-hovering type.
Some simply hung on her body, motionless.
These 20 small robots were, of course, Feifei and the others transformed.
The path in the Giant Stone Hills was quite difficult. Their quality and level were not high, and some cliffs they couldn't even climb. Therefore, as soon as they entered the hilly area, they simply transformed into small robots and attached themselves to Zhang Shiyu's body.
These small robots had low power consumption and little combat capability, so their duration was very long.
They were exceptionally easy to use.
Behind Zhang Shiyu, about 100 meters away, Chen Jiu also jumped down from a giant rock.
The reason he was so far away wasn't because his climbing skills were inferior to Zhang Shiyu's.
It was purely because… Chen Jiu was a little afraid of the group of chattering girls in front.
As soon as he got close, the girls from the fan club would tease him.
They would tease him every time he got close.
As the leader of the Jiu Xuan Raiders Group, Chen Jiu was experiencing such immense pressure for the first time.
No choice.
In order not to face such an awkward situation, he could only choose to follow from a distance, just as if he were completing the task assigned by Chen Yu.
“Xiaoyu, the Harpy nest marked on the map is just ahead.”
At this moment, a series robot with a radar positioning system floated in front of Zhang Shiyu.
On the small robot's interface, a bunch of red dots were beeping.
“Finally here, I’m exhausted.” Zhang Shiyu glanced at the radar positioning.
Through the radar's reconnaissance, there were quite a few Harpies in the nest.
The dense red dots indicated at least over a hundred Harpies.
One person fighting over a hundred.
Zhang Shiyu got excited just thinking about this scene.
Yes.
She didn't even consider Chen Jiu behind her.
“Xiaoyu, they’re coming.”
The radar robot was Feifei transformed. She suddenly reminded him, “More than 30 guys are coming this way. These guys must have discovered us. I didn’t expect them to be so vigilant.”
Feifei had just finished speaking.
More than a dozen figures flew across the sky.
These Harpies had their backs to the sun, and just over a dozen figures created a feeling of obscuring the sky and sun.
And the number was constantly increasing.
“Xili.”
“Wala.”
In a short while, dozens of Harpies were circling in the sky.
They seemed a bit puzzled as to why a human would appear here?
Oh no, wait…
It’s two!
Zhang Shiyu looked up at the sky, shielding the direct sunlight with her hand, her eyes slightly narrowed.
“Are these guys Harpies? They don’t even wear clothes, are they all this unrestrained?”
Harpies had human faces and human upper bodies, but their lower bodies transformed into eagle bodies.
Although their arms were human-like, they were connected to wings, and their hands also had rudimentary eagle talons.
For the sake of convenient flight, they wore no clothing, but still used feathers to cover certain parts.
These Harpies just circled in the sky, not knowing what they were communicating.
Some of them were preparing hunting nets, probably intending to capture Zhang Shiyu and hand her over to their leader.
Zhang Shiyu couldn't understand their language, only hearing chirping sounds, which made her a bit annoyed.
“What are they chirping about? Sister Feifei, the gun!”
“...Which gun?”
“Sniper rifle.”
Feifei wasn't very familiar with firearms, but a sniper rifle would indeed make it easy to snipe the Harpies above.
She quickly found the sniper rifle card and transformed from the radar robot into a sniper rifle.
Zhang Shiyu gripped it with one hand and quickly aimed at a Harpy above.
“Sister Feifei, hold it in, don’t make a sound.” Zhang Shiyu suddenly said something out of the blue, then quickly aimed at the Harpy above and pulled the trigger.
Then she pulled the bolt and aimed at the next one.
“Ah?”
“Ah!”
Feifei now realized that a sniper rifle needed to be bolted, completely different from an automatic rifle.
Zhang Shiyu's bolting speed was also fast; after aiming, she fired a shot and then quickly bolted again.
“...Wait, wait a minute!”
“No time to wait, Sister Feifei, you have to hold on.”
“No, it’s not…”
In a blink of an eye, all ten sniper rifle bullets were fired.
Zhang Shiyu's marksmanship was indeed good; seven out of ten bullets hit, bringing down five Harpies.
After emptying the magazine, Feifei also transformed back into the radar small robot, looking a bit dazed.
“...I need to block it. Next time, perception must be blocked.” After a long while, she finally uttered this sentence.
