Chapter 6: The Harpy
Green was in a good mood, just by the little white-haired brute on his shoulder.
The mountain road was winding, and Grimm and the Skeleton Warrior were unhappy to walk down in a circle, and before they had turned a few corners, they suddenly heard a childish exclamation from above, and as soon as Green looked up, he saw a white object falling vertically in the air. The young man didn't even have time to react, he looked up unhappily, quickly reached out with one arm, and grabbed the little fox who had fallen off the cliff. The little thing was frightened, struggled out of his unhappy hand, and threw himself directly into Green's arms, which made him so happy that he didn't care about praising the skeleton warrior's quick reaction, and hugged the little fox and rubbed his nose and face, and his joy was overflowing.
…… Of course, it would be better if there was no harpy hovering overhead.
The sound of wings flapping approached, and with a piercing shriek, several monsters with Mohican heads appeared in Grimm's field of vision.
Green's heart sank, and he probably guessed that the little guy had deliberately warned him. The young man's gaze moved to the sky behind the monster, shadows flickering in the darkness, and faint voices were heard.
"Run!"
Green made a quick decision, and ran down the hill quickly with his unhappy followers.
Harpies, second-order low-ranking creatures, are rated as one of the least popular low-level monsters in the game, and these annoying air bandits have made players suffer since the Nigon region first opened. These freaked birdmen specialize in quick attacks, and fighting them is thankless. To make matters worse, harpies are social creatures, often traveling in groups, and most are cruel and willing to attack any creature that is unguarded. They don't mind where the next piece of meat comes from, and if they can, they will even steal Peng eggs from the giant roc's nest, fly to the ground to murder cattle and horses, or search for the corpses on the ruined battlefield, in short, they are interested in anything that can tear off a few pieces of minced meat.
Especially a tender and delicious human like Green.
As for the upset...... What is that? Can you eat it?
"It's really unlucky, I just entered Nigon and ran into these big-breasted ugly birds."
The young man tucked the little fox into his clothes and ran as hard as he could, chasing after several screaming harpies. Fortunately, it was a descending road, and Green quickly completed this mountain road, running onto the unique rock and dirt road of the underground world. He had memorized the direction of the firelight, and all he had to do now was to flee to the settlement, where most of the harpys survived in the wild, and because they often preyed on cave people, they were not treated well by the dungeon's inhabitants, as long as Grimm could run to the land of light, someone would naturally expel these harpies.
Thinking so, Green's steps were faster.
“Zaa――!!!”
The harpy who was at the forefront screamed, and the shrill sound echoed above the cliffs, shaking the crust and shaking off a lot of dust.
Humans are not small in the underground world, but they are also a rare species compared to the cave people that are everywhere, and they either live in towns all year round, or they are very strong, and it is not easy to hunt them. In the perception of the harpy, Grimm's strength is very weak, and the wounds on his body still smell of blood, it is rare to encounter a lone fat sheep, of course this group of alien creatures will not let go.
"Damn, there's no advantage on flat ground!" Green turned back as he ran, and the harpy behind him chased him very closely, and from time to time she threw herself down on him, and the extremely obvious physical features on her chest were still dangling, if it weren't for the face that matched the appetite, the young Green would definitely immediately bleed to death. Oh, and perhaps their incredible habit of wearing clothes also saved the boy's life.
In a matter of seconds, the distance between the two sides is pulled in. As the body passed, the speed of Green's running slowly decreased, and the harpy banshees became even more excited and clamored one after another. Green was in a hurry, and hurriedly gave an order to the skeleton warriors, "Don't be happy, hold them off!" ”
The one-armed undead followed Grimm closely, and when he heard Green's order, he tilted his head to look at Grimm as he ran.
"Look at what I'm doing, attack!"
Unhappily stretched out his arm and groped around on the bare bones, and finally looked at Green again, and made a gesture of reaching out.
Green was stunned, then slapped him on the forehead.
"Where's the slotted knife, what else can you do stupid......"
Unhappy seemed to understand something, and stood suddenly, stretching out his arms and posing as a car. Grimm was surprised, and was sighing at this guy's protector's heart, and the harpy banshees directly ignored their displeasure, and swept over his head one after another, and pounced straight towards Green.
"I'll just say, how can this guy come in handy!"
The young man wailed as he saw the harpys sprint towards him, and Green took a deep breath, counted down to four, and then rolled to the ground with the little fox in his arms.
“Zaa!” “Z……”“…… a、a!! ”
The impatient Harpys didn't expect this at all, they were particularly long and short sprints, and then quickly returned to the air with the force of the rebound. This attack has become their natural talent, and once the attack route is determined, it is impossible to change it at all. Green's quick dodge, the target in their field of vision disappeared immediately, and several harpies who didn't have time to stop screamed and crashed together, rolling into a ball on the ground, and for a while the feathers flew away, but there was a kind of pheasant fighting.
The young man tumbled a few times and quickly got up from the ground. Feeling that he had to rely on himself for everything, Green looked back at the harpy who was huddled together, and felt a pity that he had such a good opportunity to make up for the knife, but he had no strength and no time. He glanced at the displeasure, and hesitated for a moment considering its combat power-
"It's more reliable to run away."
As soon as the young man turned around, two harpys descended from the sky, blocking Grimm's path. He hurriedly looked up, and several harpies flew in the sky in front of him, "Oops! The boy suddenly remembered the scream of a monster before, but he didn't expect to call for a companion, which he had never heard of in the game.
Green took a few steps back, his heart growing nervous. Nigon's path was mostly wide, but it was lined with dark valleys of unpredictable height, and the harpy blocked him in front and back, leaving him with little to run. The banshees in front of them were eyeing each other, and the banshees that were colliding together in the back were gradually separated, and Green's eyes fell on the stalagmites next to him, and he hurriedly rushed over and broke off a sharp piece as a weapon and erected it in front of him.
The harpy banshees in front and behind scattered one after another, forming a circle around Grimm, screaming defiantly.
The little fox poked its head out of Green's neckline and grinned angrily in response.
Before Green could press it back, a harpy, enraged by the daring little beast, shouted at her companions and swooped down like an arrow from a string. There was also a harpy next to him, the young man didn't dare to dodge, he looked directly at the rushing harpy, and used his courage to stop his subconscious escape reaction, until the monster in his sight approached, Green even saw the yellow dirt spots on the banshee's claws, and then jumped backwards violently, letting the harpy claw the ground, and then without hesitation pushed the pointed stone into its instep.
"I'm not happy!!"
The Harpy screamed so close that it almost pierced Grimm's eardrums, and the young man didn't bother to cover his ears, and yelled at the Skeleton Warrior, and rushed up from behind Grimm in displeasure, and grabbed the Harpy's head with one arm, and pulled it back with all his might, slamming into the skull in the bronze helmet.
The young man gasped and pulled the pointed stone from the foot of the harpy whose head had been shattered, "Uh-huh...... It hurts. ”
Unhappy to let go of his hand, he shook his head on the spot, stunned that nothing happened.
Some of the harpy banshees in the sky pounced on the corpse of their companion, frantically tearing and devouring it, while more were a little frightened and screamed in a strange way. Harpys are timid by nature, and when they fail to see what is happening and one of their companions dies at the hands of the "fat sheep", most of them become suspicious of their original target judgment and thus become timid.
“Zaa!!”
The harpy who summoned her companions had a full meal, and immediately roared loudly to stop the commotion of the other banshees. It fluttered its wings and flew up, its eyes fell on Grimm, and before the young man could react, it shouted a few syllables in a row, and the harpy leans responded and attacked Grimm!
"Get out of here!"
Green roared angrily, waving the sharp stone in his hand, constantly cutting through the fur of the banshee who dared to approach, but the smell of the harpy paralyzed his nerves, coupled with the fact that the old injury had not healed, and without checking for a while, the harpy behind him sneaked up, and two sharp claws stabbed into Green's shoulder.
"Bastard!" The young man quickly stabbed the Harpy from the bottom to the top, and rushed over quickly, dragging the dead Banshee down and smashing it into the Harpy, lest Green be dragged down by it. Several harpies were knocked back by the corpse, and they hid to the side and tried to bite the flesh on the corpse.
"Hey, these emotionless ugly bastards......" Green muttered through gritted teeth, but blood was pouring from his shoulder. He knew that if he didn't resist, the end would definitely not be much better than those two dead harpies, so he could only cover the wound on his shoulder, and reluctantly waved the simple weapon in his hand, while trying to lean towards a dissolution pillar, his face turned pale in a moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
The Harpys saw that Grimm was at the end of their rope and were encouraged to attack even more tightly. Unhappy to try his best to protect Grimm's body, the sturdy white bones were covered with scratches, and several phalanges were even torn off by the Harpy, and it didn't retreat a single step, Rao was so, it was still difficult to protect Grimm.
"No, go on!" Green threw the sharp rock in his hand with all his might, and when he sat down with all his might, he couldn't help but sweat profusely.
The sharp stone streaked in the air in a clear trajectory and fell into the hands of the Skeleton Warrior. The next moment, unhappy, a vigorous oblique slash, instantly eliminated a harpy. The rudimentary weapon, in the hands of this skeletal warrior, was no less powerful, and its rigid face was like an angry lion awakened from its sleep, unleashing a surprising slaughter on its enemies. Despite its limited technique to horizontal and diagonal slashes, it still stops most Harpy attacks.
Grimm, leaning on the dissolution rock pillar, was surprised, and with the protection of the dissolved stone extending above his head, Greenfort clicked on the pet attribute like a heart, and rows of white characters on a black background appeared in front of him.

"The power is so high?"
Green was surprised and slightly remorseful, he was used to the cannon fodder skeletons in the game, and he even forgot about the unhappiness at this moment, even if it was a broken arm, it was much stronger than himself, and he should have given it his only weapon a long time ago.
“Zal-aa!”
After being killed by nearly six harpys, the lead banshee finally changed their strategy, and several banshees flew towards the not too thick pillar behind Grimm, hooking the pillar with sharp claws in an attempt to tear it down. Green got up in a panic, the current stability was all dependent on this cover, once destroyed by the harpy, the weak Green would be exposed, even if he was unhappy with the rebirth of a severed limb could not protect him.
The rock pillars above the head continued to shake, and the dust and stone oaks fell in a row. The little fox hid in Grimm's clothes, screaming urgently, and at the critical moment, suddenly a rough roar came-
"You, that's the end of it!"
