Chapter 28: Weightlessness Technique – Ladder Cloud Leap
Roger did not hesitate and directly selected [Exchange].
…
[You have redeemed a Clumsy Bird Flies Early Coupon, do you wish to use it?]
[The Clumsy Bird Flies Early Coupon has been used successfully!]
[The list techniques/secret skills/expertise that can be selected has been updated.]
…
Along with the notification in the stats panel, the options in the relevant list had also changed.
Roger looked through it carefully and confirmed the options that he could choose from.
He had confirmed that in the next 10 levels, he would not have any new secret skills that he could grasp.
According to the descriptions, he had to wait until LV 25 to unlock a new Hermit Ranger weapon and learn its related secret skills.
Next, he checked the expertise.
He would be gaining new expertise at LV15 and LV20 each.
…
[Wildland Tracking: Obtained automatically at LV15]
[Description: You will gain a very strong tracking ability, and in the wilderness, this ability will be further strengthened]
…
[Long-lasting Vigour: Obtained automatically at LV20]
[Description: In non-combat situations, your stamina drain will be reduced by 40%; while in combat, your stamina drain will be reduced by 10%]
…
These two expertise were not bad, and they were very suitable for the pace of life of hunting in the wild.
However, Roger did not rush to make a decision but continued to browse.
The last was the techniques column.
Just like the expertise, he would be learning a new technique at LV16 and LV20 respectively.
…
[Burst of Savageness: Can be learned at LV16]
[Description: Within 60 seconds after using burst of savageness, your strength, agility, and physique will simultaneously gain a +1 bonus; you can use this technique up to three times a day, and you will receive a certain sequela after each use.]
…
[Weightlessness Technique-Ladder Cloud Leap (Beginner): Can be learned at LV20]
[Description: You will master the basics of the mysterious Weightlessness Technique-Ladder Cloud Leap, with extremely strong vertical leap, flight, soaring and jumping ability]
…
Seeing this, Roger couldn’t help but curl his lips.
What else was there to hesitate?
He should learn the Ladder Cloud Leap immediately!
It had been Roger’s dream since he was a kid to obtain a weightlessness technique, allowing him to fly over the roof and walk on walls like the chivalrous heroes in the movies.
This skill itself was also very suitable for Hermit Ranger’s fighting style.
If he had the skill of Ladder Cloud Leap when killing the gray dwarves just now, it would have saved a lot of trouble for Roger.
…
[You have learned the Ladder Cloud Leap (Beginner)]
[The secret skill-Superior Breathing Technique has been detected, your Ladder Cloud Leap has been promoted to the next level]
[You have learned the Ladder Cloud Leap (Skilled)]
…
“There’s even a link between secret skills and techniques?”
Roger was overjoyed.
A refreshing feeling swept through his body. Not only had he formally learned Ladder Cloud Leap, but also because of the existence of the Superior Breathing Technique, the Ladder Cloud Leap grew by a level.
Roger, who could finally have a first taste of a weightlessness technique, was excited like a child.
He hopped around madly by the lake for a while, completing a simple testing of his new technique.
The test result made him very satisfied.
His already light body seemed to have lost the restraint of gravity, reaching six or seven meters high with a simple light jump.
He didn’t have to climb up a tree of only two or three meters high, just a simple vertical leap on the ground could allow him to reach the canopy.
Many difficult parkour moves that were unimaginable before were now as simple and calmly done as drinking and eating.
As long as there was a suitable leverage point, flying over the wall was no longer an imagination!
“I finally look like a chivalrous swordsman.”
Roger felt rejoiced secretly inside, so he simply redeemed the remaining 1 milestone point.
In the next second, he obtained the first ever title since he had teleported – [Cold-Blooded Assassin].
This title cut off the detection of him through infrared vision.
In this way, he could be much safer walking in the dark.
…
The night in the marshlands was not actually dark.
The unknown aquatic plants scattered in lakes and puddles exuded spots of fluorescence.
Unfortunately, these were obscured by the thick fog, making the vision of the nocturnal creatures hazy.
At the edge of Yellow Stone Island.
On the branch of an old tree that had been dead for a long time.
One after another of short but brawny shadows were looming.
This place was a very typical gray dwarf outpost.
There were 6 members in total. Four of them held crossbows and two held axes.
At this moment, the three gray dwarves who were in charge of the night watch were yawning and walking back and forth on the branches carelessly.
Not far below their feet, the other three companions were sleeping while leaning against the tree trunk.
Maybe it was because they were too sleepy as it was late at night, two gray dwarves who were on duty accidentally knocked into each other.
This collision ignited a fierce argument between the two parties who were already in a bad mood due to drowsiness.
Their quarreling was extremely loud.
But it was still not enough to wake up their sleeping companions.
On the spur of the moment, the two gray dwarves in the quarrel even took out their weapons to confront each other.
The two sides held a stalemate for a while and finally gave up.
Each of them snorted at each other and walked in different directions.
Just at this moment, one of the gray dwarves suddenly realized a problem: Why did it seem like one of their companions was missing?
When it walked back with a crossbow in doubt, a cold crossbow arrow suddenly shot out from the darkness!
The penetrating arrow pierced his chest mercilessly, shattering its heart.
The super high toughness value allowed him to make continuous wailing sounds after being pierced.
But it was a pity that his companions couldn’t hear it anymore.
He was the last gray dwarf to be hunted at this outpost.
…
Roger held the crossbow and slowly walked out of the thick fog.
He drew the penetrating arrow from the gray dwarf in a dexterous manner. After making sure that the arrow was not damaged, he began to search for the battle spoils.
This was the third gray dwarf outpost he hunted tonight.
With the accumulation of experience, the hunting process had become much smoother.
The advantage of gray dwarves was that they were strong, but their disadvantage was that they were poor in perception.
Cold-blooded Assassin had blocked the gray dwarves’ infrared vision.
And with the presence of Ladder Cloud Leap, an outpost with this level of defense was as if his back garden – He could come in if he wished and go out whenever he liked to.
It would not even matter if he were to bounce around.
Just now, when the two gray dwarves were quarreling, Roger silently made a move.
He first jumped using the Ladder Cloud Leap to the back of the third gray dwarf who was watching the excitement, then he used the Green Beetle Sword to penetrate its heart—
But this time, he had carried a thick linen with him to plug the gray dwarf’s mouth.
So its death did not cause any warning to his companions.
Then Roger carried the body of the gray dwarf and jumped into the reeds nearby.
However, a little accident had happened during this process: Ladder Cloud Leap’s jump was originally silent, but perhaps because the gray dwarf was too heavy, Roger accidentally slipped a step and almost fell.
His extremely strong balance allowed him to stabilize himself, but it nevertheless made a little noise.
Fortunately, the two gray dwarves were too loud in the quarreling and overwhelmed the noise.
The next moves became much simpler.
Since the night guards were quarreling, their sleeping companions would naturally suffer.
After assassinating the sleeping gray dwarves, Roger slipped away again with ease.
After the two gray dwarves separated, the final finishing touch was beautifully completed.
Just two simple crossbow arrows had done the job.
Rough Stone Skin could resist ordinary bows and arrows but was unable to resist the penetrating arrows in the hands of the gray dwarves!
The arrowhead of this kind of arrow was very slender and had a strong armor-piercing ability.
This freed Roger from having to aim at the back of their heads or eye sockets and could just aim the crossbow directly at their chests.
…
There was also nothing too valuable in this outpost.
Roger was mainly collecting the crossbow arrows and sarcomas from the gray dwarves.
Ten minutes later, carrying a few heavy backpacks, he came to a higher hillside.
Shoving away the wildly growing weeds, a narrow dark cave was revealed.
He carefully checked the mechanism at the entrance of the cave, and after confirming that no humans or monsters had entered the cave, he threw the backpack in.
The next moment, he tried hard to curl himself up and got in too.
This was Roger’s temporary residence on Yellow Stone Island for a while.
He originally intended to stay here temporarily, waiting for Rachel’s Flying Dragon Express.
But now it seemed that for a long time in the future, this would be his home.
