Chapter 497: Chapter 367: The Doomed Harpie_1
“Whoosh!”
“Boom!”
“Squeak squeak squeak…!”
In the dark sky, a figure was constantly shifting position under the siege of dozens of harpies.
With twin blades in hand, fluttering up and down, from time to time harpies would be slashed apart and fall from the sky.
The illusion of void fire and the golden flames of Holy Light Fire burned alternately, easily reducing these harpies to ashes.
Regrettably, even so, the harpies fought to the death, unyielding, occasionally emitting shrill cries as they launched suicidal attacks at Zheng Cheng.
“Harpies? There are so many of these monsters in the chasm?!”
Zheng Cheng’s figure abruptly came to a halt, as another swarm of harpies swooped down on him.
After locating Yao Zhixue’s position, he had hurried over, flying low using Jerry’s abilities in order to save time.
It was unknown how many hours had passed when suddenly he was attacked by a flock of harpies.
He reached out and grabbed at the harpies lunging at him again, and the Petal Splash Wand suddenly appeared in his hand.
“Mental Confusion Technique!”
The Petal Splash Wand in his hand suddenly flashed with a verdant glow, casting two nearly identical waves of the Mental Confusion Technique onto the swarm of harpies.
Petal Splash, dual casting!
The recently advanced to LV3 Mental Confusion Technique took immediate effect on the fastest harpies, turning them against their own kind.
“Gah…!”
“Gah!”
“Gah!”
As expected, the harpies began to screech, their previous momentum broke as they collided with one another, tearing each other apart.
“Still just beasts, forever controlled by their instincts…”
Zheng Cheng shook his head slightly. In the Central Radar Life Monitoring Technique, the line representing Yao Zhixue started flashing, indicating that she was within ten kilometers of his location, just within the scanning range.
Besides him, there was another light that stood out—it was undoubtedly Zhuang Shuai!
“Screech!!!”
However, just then, an unbearably piercing screech tore through the air, and a visible psychic wave enveloped the entire area.
Even Zheng Cheng felt dizzy and disoriented for a moment.
The harpies that had been under the influence of the Mental Confusion Technique shook off the control and, screeching, charged at him again.
But Zheng Cheng’s gaze was on something else, behind the flock of harpies.
A much larger figure was rapidly approaching.
“That is… a Harpie!”
The so-called Harpies are the masters of the harpy species.
Or rather, they are the Professionists among harpies.
Just like the difference betwen the average humans of Blue Star and the Professionists.
“Screech!!!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The newcomer was indeed a Harpie.
She looked completely like a human female, except for the fine feathers covering her body and the eagle-like legs with sharp talons. Her face was also sharp like that of an eagle’s.
Especially at her ribs, where a pair of large wings sprouted, and her eyes were a dark green, shimmering with a devilish light.
“Human Race? Why are you in our territory?”
An abstrusely grating voice suddenly echoed in Zheng Cheng’s mind.
“Capture him! The Sacrificer ceremony for the new Earth Demon Race is about to commence, and he will make a fine offering!”
No sooner had the Harpie spoken than the dozens of harpies behind her immediately surged forward, a solid mass of dark shapes.
“A Harpie, huh? Skilled in psychic magic, able to forcibly dispel some controlling spells with psychic magic, and they possess other mental secrets. If that’s the case…”
Zheng Cheng thought to himself, dodging the harpies’ javelin attacks gracefully.
At the same time, with a thought, the highest leveled Skill Rune in his mind gleamed with a light.
“Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique!”
“Pfft!”
“Gah!”
“Gah gah!!”
The leading dozen or so harpies suddenly screeched, clutching at their bellies. A few were unable to react in time, and as pain surged, globs of greenish-yellow viscous liquid rained from the sky.
“Pfft pfft pfft…”
A stench instantly filled the air amongst the harpies.
Harpies are omnivorous creatures and, given the harsh environment of the chasm, their diet includes other monsters, sentient beings, vegetation, and even decaying corpses and foul maggots, which obviously doesn’t sit well with their stomachs.
Under the influence of Zheng Cheng’s bizarre technique, they had little resistance, unable to maintain their flight while pulling, completely unable to carry out a normal attack.
“Hm? Is the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique so effective against the creatures of the chasm?”
Even the Harpie at the rear widened her eyes in disbelief. What the hell was this?
What was this human doing!
Her people… why were they all having diarrhea?
Like a downpour.
And then, something even more horrific took place.
Zheng Cheng’s Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique was no longer at LV3, it was at LV6!
As acute gastroenteritis spread among the flock of harpies, the second characteristic of the Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique quickly took effect within them.
“Gah!”
“Gah gah!!”
Piercing screeches rose as the harpies flew erratically, another wave of thick liquid burst from their bodies, their entire bodies trembling crazily.
With such violent diarrhea, the harpies finally couldn’t hold on and, screaming, plunged from the sky, dropping like dumplings, brutally smashing into the ground.
Under the effect of the electrolyte disorder side effect, they had lost consciousness midair, incapable of dodging, and hitting the ground they turned into a heap of mangled flesh.
