The harsh friction sound echoed in the dark bell tower.
The old witch polished her gold teeth until they were shiny, 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 it!"
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, howling and complaining.
The old witch's face darkened in displeasure, she opened the window and poked 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 the 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!"
When the warg heard this, he 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 4th-level "Detection Technique" casting ritual.
The crystal ball, which serves as a magic weapon, emits light after being infused with magic power, projecting the scene of the mine several miles away directly 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 was fixed on Dorothy Gale.
"Huh? This little girl... is actually wearing Evanora's silver shoes, hey hey hey... this is so interesting!"
The old witch bared her gold teeth and smiled crookedly.
"Great! I'm in need of a smart maid, and this little girl looks perfect! And those silver shoes are also something I want, and they actually came to my door. Hehehe, I'm so lucky.
!”
The old witch jumped to the window, held her fingers in 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.
When the harpies heard the whistle, they quickly flew out of their nests and spread their wings to circle around the tower.
Gu Pei
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 harpies 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 NPCs'... I have an ominous feeling." Gao Fei said to Jiang Feng.
"I know what you are thinking, but 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 noises.
Compared with dull illustrations, living harpies look more visually impactful.
It is said that all the harpies have gorgeous looks and hot and curvy figures. 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, just 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 harpy's limbs, elbow joints and below the knees have transformed into bony bird claws.
It is said that the harpy's hands and feet are equally flexible, and can even use its claw-like feet to draw a bow 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 harpies.
Harpies living in desert areas are like vultures in their habits and love to eat carrion.
Due to their scavenging habits and the dry and water-deficient habitat they live in, these harpies do not have the habit of bathing frequently, so one can imagine their strong body odor.
In order to cover up the rancid smell on their bodies, the harpies like to collect spices such as cinnamon, soak them and extract essential oils, then apply them on themselves to cover their body odor with the strong aroma.
Wenji Township has a hot climate and is rich in spices. The local residents like to eat beef and mutton with a strong smell and have a strong tolerance for body odor. The ointment applied by the harpies can have a very good effect and avoid being exposed during hunting.
But for players like Gao Fei who are sensitive to odors, the body odor of the harpies is like severe body odor. No matter how much ointment you apply, you can't cover it up, so you have to cover your nose and avoid wind-proof mines.
Nine harpies hovered directly above the mine, singing in unison.
The sweet singing echoed in the air, creating invisible ripples of magic.
The travelers and dwarf workers hiding in the mines have plugged their ears with silencer mushrooms to prevent them from being tempted by the songs of the harpies.
Jiang Feng walked to the entrance of the cave, raised his pistol and took aim at the bird demon in the air, shook his head, and lowered the muzzle of the gun.
The songs of the harpies came from a height of 300 feet above the ground, but her pistol could not reach such a height.
What's more, it's already getting dark.
The night provides a layer of natural camouflage for the harpies flying in the air, further increasing the difficulty of ground sniping.
