Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

After Rankopel finished laying the fixed pile, the whole person took a deep breath, jumped off the cliff with a vertical jump, and then threw out two climbing pickaxes with iron diamonds.

Snapping !!

with the additional propulsion provided by the iron drill, only these two strokes penetrated into the deep rock formation, completely fixing Rankopel's whole person on the cliff wall -

at this point his options began to increase, he could hang slowly like a scale line, or he could swing the hook lock again for a large maneuver.

"This smells so salty... Very strong smell of rembito sand..."

Rankopel's

nose stirred for a moment, and at this time a wind was blowing towards his flank, this wind clinging to the entire cliff wall, bringing a ginger dust mist from the sand on the surface of the cliff.

"If ordinary people don't have a breathing purification device, they will have an acute lung disease this time... I also have to go down as soon as possible. "

No one wants to jump on a cliff in the middle of a cliff, including Rankopelle.

He can indeed regulate the metabolism of the blood to eliminate toxic components, but it is also part of the source stone technique, which requires the consumption of his already small remaining physical strength.

What's more, the smell was really fucking bad - Rankopel could even smell the corpse of some tiny reptile or rodent rotting in the sand on the cliff wall.

Huh... Huh....

Rankopel sometimes puts the line like an angler, sometimes uses an iron drill pickaxe to make jumping movements, and time passes slowly, everything is easier than he thought.

But remain cautious yourself.

......

After about five minutes, Rankopel had reached the middle of the cliff, and the lower half of the cliff was covered with raised rocky rocks, which became more and more difficult.

Originally, Rankopel also wanted to step on these raised rocks to borrow strength, but as soon as he stepped on it, he found that the other end was trapped, and when he stepped on it, not only the rock would fall off directly, but the entire cliff wall was at risk of collapsing.

I had to carefully bypass them and slow them down.

Oh~

And at this moment, there was a sudden long roar in the sky - he immediately looked up, not only when, a black oppressive feather beast hovered about a hundred meters above Rankopel's head.

"Sharp Cliff Feather Beast?"

Lan Kopel's eyes moved, and this signature chirping sound and the exterior details captured by his powerful dynamic vision made him unconsciously pronounce the name.

The scientific name of these feather beasts, which are very similar to a bird called vultures that they knew in their previous lives, is called Sharp Cliff, and the habitat of Sharp Cliff Feather Beasts is very special, basically on the towering cliff wall.

Unless they migrate on a large scale due to changes in climate or geography, they will be active near cliffs throughout their lives, not more than a kilometer away.

It is widely distributed in a series of dry and hot desert areas of the continent of Terra, especially in the cliffs of Sargon and Rembito.

They are characterized by extremely small widths of feathers, like sharp needle feathers, which are the highest density on their wings, as dazzling as two broad silver-gray blades.

Once each Sharp Cliff Feather Beast spreads its wings, it can reach a width of nearly three meters, curled up enough to have basketball-sized claws, and it only takes one stroke to crack the stone.

This is a real bird of prey.

Although their feathers cover almost the whole body, the very fine feathers have a large number of gaps in the diversion.

In high-speed flight, it can greatly absorb wind to reduce the body's temperature, and pores also have strong sweat wicking and heat dissipation functions, so they are extremely heat-resistant.

However, during the rare rainy season, they will all return to their nests and wait for the rain to stop.

These were part of a Terra biological encyclopedia that Rankopel, who had not yet possessed him, had read in the library of Usas's family, and after crossing over, he himself accepted all his knowledge, so he naturally recognized it.

But there is a more important next part of this knowledge:

these cliff feathered beasts are omnivores, but more inclined to meat, and the biggest purpose of eating some wild fruits or grass leaves is not to feed themselves, but to replenish water.

The main food source for survival is mainly some small rodents such as pangolins that inhabit the cliff walls - or the nests of other feathered animals in trees near the cliffs, and the eggs or young birds inside.

Of course, this also includes... Climbers who climb cliffs.

This steeple feather beast is known as a cliff climber's nightmare, and there are about ten climbers every year who are quite confident and want to challenge the cliff where the steep feather beast lives.

However, eight or nine of them went from bird food to bird.

In fact, if you have to climb this kind of cliff inhabited by a group of pointed cliff feathered beasts, you have to wait for rainy weather - but this will make the climb much more difficult because the cliff wall is slippery.

Alternatively, an ultrasonic device dedicated to the dispersal of this beast can be purchased.

But because the market is so niche, the production is low, and it can only be bought in some large markets - that is, some large mobile cities, and the markets and merchants in the wilderness will not provide such things at all.

The price of this thing is not low, unless it is a cliff climbing fanatic with money and fever, it may only be bought home by some window dressing collectors, purely personal hobbies.

At this time, Rankopel glanced sideways - the cliff wall on his lower left had a crack about two adult torsos wide and more than ten meters long.

The cracks were covered with a large number of slender dead branches, and these rows of dead branches formed the nest of at least a dozen large and small steeped cliff feathered beasts.

twitter....

These nests are basically filled with feathered eggs, some have hatched, and young cliff feathered beasts are chattering and waiting for their parents to come home and feed him.

At this time, Rankopel's identity has basically become [Threatening Lair Robber] + [Ready-made feeding materials] double protection, no matter from which angle, he cannot be let go by that group of sharp cliff feather beasts.

"I have to save some source stone skills, now I am still nearly five hundred meters off the ground, if I can't condense the source stone skills and fall like this, I will also have to become a meatloaf." Rankopel

secretly thought in his heart that in this kind of harsh environment in the middle of the cliff and the ground, fighting with high-altitude units, the most important thing is that his physical condition is not ideal.

...... It's a dangerous battle, so be careful.

If he were in his heyday, Rankopel could directly dig out the iron element in the cliff wall, and directly throw the cut surface of the entire cliff towards the group of pointed cliff beasts.

And the result is naturally like swatting a fly, snapping and exploding.

"But if it is solved well, it can be replenished with a wave of nutrients... Hundreds of flesh and blood of this size, after absorbing, should be enough to support Amia's galloping boat.

Rankopel thought calmly in his heart.

Oh——!!!

hundreds of Sharp Cliff Feather Beasts in the sky, no matter what Rankopel was thinking at this time, almost all of them let out a sharp cry - this is the sound that birds of prey will burst out of their chests when they are angry.

Boom Rumble

- Once they select a target and start sprinting, they shrink their body shape and wings to fit like silver-gray

spindle-shaped droplets, and the burst speed can be raised to eighty kilometers per hour in a second.

At this time, nearly a hundred of the hundreds of Sharp Cliff Feather Beasts quickly broke away from the group, roaring and rushing towards Rankopel like a huge silver-gray torrent.

In fact, where the average mountaineer has this battle to deal with, it is seven or eight or ten to die, if the person does not have any excellent skills, it is enough for him to explain on the spot.

However, less than five or six meters underground in Rankopel is their old nest - not to mention that this time the nest contains a large number of newborns, just past the breeding season of this season.

So of course, these sharp cliff feathered beasts are anxious, and one of the instincts of their animals is to protect their offspring, so this wave they even want to directly plan to knock Rankopel directly on the cliff wall.

Don't underestimate the kinetic energy of these sharp cliff feather beasts, under full acceleration, the limit speed of a sharp cliff feather beast can quickly exceed 15 kilometers per hour, and now nearly a hundred are attacking together.

"Soon... But...... Not as fast as me...!!" Lan

Koper even looked directly at the impact of the silver-gray torrent on him, and then at the moment when he was about to arrive, he suddenly kicked out with his feet

!! and !!

his

whole figure was like a translation, clinging to the cliff wall and moving his original position in an instant—— In order to improve his explosive power at this moment, Rankopel turned on a moment of complete blood steaming.

And it was this moment that made Rankopel bite his teeth hard -

yes, the physical consumption was far more serious than he thought, and the skills that could normally normalize the load now made himself suddenly trance in less than a few seconds.

Then he silently burst out from his limbs and spine!!

a total of seven or eight iron wires with barbs at the ends, like spiders, making strange movement trajectories that common sense could not explain.

The already increasingly skilled source stone technique, combined with Rankopel's own explosive power, has formed an almost more than one teleportation effect

on the vertical cliff - in this terrain and at this speed, the entire Rhode Island can only do Askalon.

Oh~

Those sharp cliff feather beasts originally intended to use Rankopel as a meat pad to cushion, and the back feather beasts were also buffered by the body of the front feather beast, so that the damage could be minimized.

But where can the walnut-sized brains of these flat-haired beasts deal with the complex and almost never encountered strange information that "the prey suddenly disappears in front of themselves"?

Poof!!

the dozens behind only the front sharp cliff feather beasts as a buffer is okay, but the first ten or so sharp cliff feather beasts can be described as a suicide collision with the cliff wall.

As a result, the cliff wall, which was mostly made of sandy condensation, suddenly burst out a large pit full of cracks, and the corpses of a dozen pointed cliff feathered beasts inside were embedded in it like reliefs, and the nerves that had not yet died were still trembling slightly on the wings.

The other dozens of sharp cliff feather beasts were also stunned by the impact force, and gathered crookedly next to the big pit, some of their wings and claws were entangled, and it was difficult to separate for a while.

Ha...... Ultimately...... It's just some feathered beasts.

When hunting habits and instincts are completely broken, they can even be destroyed by their own power.
