Chapter 648 Bird Demon
Click, click, click——
Click, click, click——
The harsh friction sound echoed in the dark bell tower.
The old witch polished her gold teeth until they sparkled, looked in the mirror to make sure they were flawless, and then showed a satisfied smile.
The hamster she used as a toothbrush was already dying.
The old witch glanced at the hamster and sighed hypocritically.
"Oh, this poor little guy is listless and looks sick. Why don't we just...eat him!"
The old witch stuffed the hamster into her mouth, biting it with a crunching sound. Blood flowed from the corners of her lips and dripped down her chin with a faint scream.
At this time, a shrill howl suddenly came from outside the castle window, and a warg, whose body was burned to pieces, ran over in a panic.
"Master...my respected master, something serious has happened!"
The warg looked up at the tower window and howled in complaint.
The old witch's face darkened in displeasure, she opened the window and stuck her head out to look at the warg.
"Beast, how did you become like this?"
"Master, a group of villains broke into your mine..."
The warg quickly told his story.
"What? Both the Tengu and the Warg were defeated by bandits?" The old witch was so angry that her eyes almost burst into flames. "Huh! I really regret raising a bunch of trash. I might as well turn you all into hamsters!"
Upon hearing this, the warg was so frightened that his legs became weak and he collapsed on the ground, urinating incontinently.
Of course it knows that the old witch has a cruel habit. She uses magic to turn people who dare to offend her into hamsters and lock them in cages for fun.
When you get tired of playing, just pick out a hamster at random and eat it as a snack.
Fortunately, the old witch had no time to punish it today. Cursing, she turned back to the clock tower, opened the desk drawer, and took out a crystal ball as big as a goose egg.
"Let me see who dares to break into my territory and do whatever is wrong!"
The old witch held the crystal ball in her left hand, freed her left hand, made a series of spell-casting gestures, and chanted incantations in a low voice.
After a full ten minutes, the old witch finally completed the fourth-level "Detection Technique" casting ceremony.
The crystal ball used as a magic weapon emits light after being infused with magic power, directly projecting the scene of the mine several miles away on the wall, like a movie.
"Talking lion, scarecrow, tin man... I seem to have heard of these weird guys somewhere!"
The old witch peered at the travelers in the mine through the crystal ball and murmured to herself.
Finally, the detection scene settled on Dorothy Gale.
"Huh? This little girl... is actually wearing Evanora's silver shoes, hehehehe... this is so interesting!"
The old witch bared her gold teeth and smiled slyly.
"Great! I'm in need of a smart maid, and this little girl looks perfect! And the pair of silver shoes is also something I want, and it actually came to my door. Hehehe, I'm so lucky. !”
The old witch jumped to the window, took her fingers into her mouth, and blew a sharp whistle.
On the rooftop of the castle, there are nine large bird's nests, which are the habitats of the harpies.
The harpies heard the whistle and flew out of their nests, spreading their wings and circling the tower.
The leader of the harpies flew to the window, clasped his claw-like feet on the window sill, and bowed to the old witch.
"My dear master, what are your orders?"
"Mara, take your sisters with you immediately, fly to the mine, and capture all the outsiders who dare to cause trouble there. I will punish them myself!"
"As you command, my master!"
The leader of the harpy flapped his wings and flew high, leading the other eight harpies to fly to the gold mine.
When the figures of the bird monsters disappeared into the depths of dusk, the game scene also switched back to the mine.
After the cutscene ended, Goofy immediately opened the astrolabe and looked at Theodora's data panel.
The result was disappointing to him.
"The system shows 'unable to detect high-level NPC'... I have an ominous feeling." Gao Fei said to Jiang Feng.
"I know what you are thinking. Don't tell Xiaoyun yet, so as not to disappoint her." Jiang Feng whispered to her boyfriend.
Gao Fei nodded, turned around and walked out of the mine, looking at the eastern sky.
The sky has darkened, and the vast desert is covered with a layer of crimson color by the setting sun.
The silence of dusk was broken by screams from the air.
A large group of half-human, half-bird banshees flew over with noisy sounds.
Compared with the dull illustrations, the living harpies look more visually impactful.
It is said that all the harpies have gorgeous looks and hot and curvy bodies. They are naked, exposing large areas of smooth and toned bronze skin.
It's a pity that the sensitive parts of the harpy's body are covered by feathers, like wearing a bikini made of feathers. It is indeed quite tempting, but there is no revealing scene.
Compared to the naturally coded feathers, what is even more disgraceful is that the limbs of the harpy, including the elbow joints and below the knees, have transformed into skinny bird claws.
It is said that the harpies' hands and feet are equally flexible, and they can even use their claw-like feet to draw bows and shoot arrows.
Just when Gao Fei raised his head to observe the bird demon, a gust of wind blew over, and the wind was mixed with the smell of corpses mixed with spices.
This disgusting smell is emanating from the bird demons.
Harpies living in desert areas are like vultures in their habits and love to eat carrion.
The habit of eating rotten things, coupled with the dry and water-deficient habitat, these bird fairies do not have the habit of taking a bath frequently, so you can imagine how strong their body odor is.
In order to cover up the rotten smell on their bodies, the bird fairies like to collect spices such as cinnamon, soak them and extract essential oils, apply them on themselves, and use the strong fragrance to cover up the body odor.
Wenji Township has a hot climate and is rich in spices. Local residents love to eat beef and mutton with strong mutton smells, and have a strong tolerance for body odor. The ointment applied by the bird fairies can have a good effect and avoid exposing their tracks during hunting.
But for players like Gao Fei who are more sensitive to odors, the body odor of the bird fairies is like severe body odor. No matter how much ointment is applied, it can't be covered up. They have to cover their noses and hide in the mine pit that avoids the wind.
Nine bird fairies hovered just above the mine pit and sang in unison.
The sweet singing echoed in the air, stirring up invisible ripples of magic.
The travelers and dwarf laborers hiding in the mines had plugged their ears with silencer mushrooms to avoid being tempted by the bird demons' singing.
Jiang Feng walked to the cave entrance, raised his pistol and aimed at the bird demons in the air, shook his head, and lowered the muzzle.
The bird demons' singing came from 300 feet above the ground, and her pistol could not reach such a high range.
What's more, it was already dark.
The night covered the bird demons flying in the air with a natural camouflage, further increasing the difficulty of ground sniping.
