Chapter 64: Harpy Witch

Great Teleportation Technique, traveling thousands of miles in an instant!

Guided by a Vampire scout, Hu Feng quickly arrived at the gloomy Underground Passage and met up with Yisu and the others.

As long as he knew the specific location of the destination, distance was no longer a problem for him; he could cover tens of thousands of miles in just a few breaths. Legend had it that if the Great Teleportation Technique was cultivated to the extreme, one could instantly tear apart the Void and shuttle through millions of Planes, almost ignoring the distance of time and space. Cultivating to that step meant almost standing forever in an invincible position!

Saratos, the old skeleton left behind to guard the Lich Castle, only knew a small part of the situation. After listening to the reports from Yisu and the others, Hu Feng realized that the problem was even more serious than he had expected.

The Underground Passage was crisscrossed with large and small forks, making it even harder to navigate than a huge maze. Not only was the terrain complex, but unpredictable mutations often occurred. Some passages that had been walked through a few days ago were blocked tight by collapsed earth after just turning around; tens of thousands of people digging for three days and three nights would not see the exit. In some places, they had finally swept through and wiped out the demonic beasts lurking in the dark; but as soon as the team left, a group of even more powerful demonic beasts would appear, impossible to kill them all.

After leading the Expedition Legion through the Underground Passage for less than three days, Cardiron, the thief with a super memory, was completely lost. Every fork in the road looked vaguely familiar, as if he had walked it before, but after taking a few steps forward, he would stop again; none were truly familiar. The Minotaur Udely was also helpless; he was only familiar with the places where his tribe had once lived, and facing the crisscrossing forks, he did not know which one led to the Underground Castle in his memory. Sometimes, the entire legion would walk happily for days and nights, only to find they had entered a dead end and had to return the way they came, causing morale to plummet.

After wandering underground for a month, the Expedition Legion finally found a main road leading to the distance. Unexpectedly, before they had gone far, their path was blocked by a large number of Harpy Witches. They were impossible to kill endlessly, and the legion paid a huge price in casualties just to advance a few miles. Going forward, they could not advance an inch; going back and returning the way they came meant all previous efforts were wasted and the operation was a total failure. Looking for other paths, they did not know how much time and energy would be consumed, and it was unknown whether such a path even existed.

“Go, lead the way ahead!”

Hu Feng summoned the Tree Demon Stanley, preparing to personally go to the front to see the situation. Unexpectedly, before he could even set off, the troops in front became restless, and the vanguard Skeleton Warriors acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

In the air, waves of fluctuations like a tsunami came, whistling loudly. Following that, boundless dark clouds appeared in the passage, and Harpy Witches packed densely together pounced over like a tide. Their speed was extremely fast; their bodies suddenly lunged forward and they rapidly appeared before the Skeleton Warriors; with a hard grab of their hands, the Skeleton Warriors who had no time to dodge turned pitch black all over, fell down from severe poison, and had no time to counterattack at all.

Witch raid!

Relying on their fast speed and familiarity with the terrain, the Harpy Witches launched a wave of sharp attacks, and the vanguard Skeleton Warriors were forced to retreat step by step. It was not until Grand Commander Yisu sent a squad of Skeleton Archers and a squad of Skeleton Mages to support them that they barely managed to withstand their imposing impact.

Usually, demonic beasts would only attack creatures that invaded their sphere of influence and would not easily attack initiatively. However, these Harpy Witches entrenched on the main road were different; not only did they not give an inch, but they also repeatedly launched sharp attacks on their own initiative, as if there was an unusual Grand Commander behind them.

Hoo…

After twisting and breaking the cervical vertebra of a Skeleton Warrior with one hand, a Harpy Witch pounced straight towards Hu Feng and the others. Its broad wings flapped gently and it moved over a dozen meters, moving extremely fast. The Death Warrior Udely had no expression on his face and turned sideways to block in front of Hu Feng, but before he could make a move, the ferocious Harpy Witch was grabbed by Hu Feng from a distance.

“Extremely fast speed, indeed somewhat different from ordinary Harpy Witches!” Hu Feng coldly pinched the Harpy Witch’s neck, observing closely.

This unusual fellow reminded him of the Gargoyles he encountered on Saintess Peak. Both were low-level demonic beasts, both existed in huge numbers that were countless, yet their combat power was extremely abnormal. There must be a reason for it, and there must be something fishy; perhaps there was an unknown secret hidden behind the passage.

Dark and bright eyes, curved eyebrows, a thin chin, a fair and delicate neck…

Looking only at the face, the Harpy Witch in his hand was simply a beauty chosen out of thousands, beautiful, charming, with a unique allure, much prettier than those so-called young models and jade girl stars from his previous life, making people have the impulse to conquer her at a glance. Unfortunately, her lower body greatly reduced one’s interest; she had fine scales growing on her body and a pair of broad black wings on her back.

“What a pity, truly an Angel’s face and a devil’s figure!”

Hu Feng shook his head, and behind him suddenly appeared a Demon God Phantom with four faces and eight arms, which swallowed the Harpy Witch in his hand in one bite. He refined her Soul on the spot without moving to plunder her memory. On the adventure map on the Demon Hunter Card, an unfamiliar area quickly surfaced. At the end of a passage over a hundred miles long, there was a huge underground plaza, and right in the middle of the plaza stood an ancient, mottled Temple.

A passage of over a hundred miles, killing their way in step by step, how much time would that consume, and how many troops would be lost?

Hu Feng shook his head, and Yisu and the others nearby also changed their expressions greatly; no one expected that the passage in front of them was actually this long. Fortunately, they did not rashly charge in directly, otherwise, perhaps not a single person in the Expedition Legion would be able to walk out alive. A journey of over a hundred miles; if the Harpy Witches inside swarmed out, that would be terrible!

“Bone Explosion!” Arnold, who was responsible for leading the Skeleton Warriors to charge into battle, looked grave and said fiercely, “Sacrifice over ten thousand Skeletons to use Bone Explosion and blast our way in; I don’t believe they can still block the road! Blow them all up, leave none alive!”

Except for using the Bone Explosion tactic like last time in the Yin Soul Valley, Arnold did not know what other way there was to quickly wipe out so many Harpy Witches! As the Commander of the vanguard unit, he knew better than anyone how terrible these flying monsters were; advancing step by step, he feared the Expedition Legion would be completely wiped out before they could rush through!

“Idiot, if over ten thousand Skeletons rush in to explode, aren’t you afraid the entire Underground Passage will collapse? By then, will we dig our way out one by one?” Looking at the reckless and impulsive Arnold, Hu Feng shook his head, turned around, and ordered, “Yisu, the army will camp on the spot, and send small squads to quickly scout the surrounding terrain. Without my order, no one is allowed to take another step into this main road!”

Hu Feng made a prompt decision and quickly made up his mind. He unfolded his massive Dark Wings, and with a ‘whoosh’, he took the Tree Demon, the Death Warrior Udely, and the thief Cardiron and disappeared, heading straight for the underground plaza on the adventure map. To catch bandits, first catch the king; as long as they killed the Witch Grand Elder hidden in the dark, everything would be easily solved!
