Chapter 261: Hunting Squad

~5 min read 867 words

The temporary squad consisted of only three people: Li En, Red Feather Arrow, and Hela.

A squad dedicated to hunting and killing does not require many hands.

As soon as they entered the arena, they ruthlessly slaughtered their way through, quickly stealing the live broadcast spotlight from a small mirror demon.

"Overlooking the world. Uh."

Following Red Feather Arrow's request, Li En activated the bloodline ability "Eagle Eye" once again.

Then, he once again endured the discomfort of floating naked.

The one who overlooks the world refers to the true form of the eagle.

Possessing the "Authority of the Sky," it can always stand in a "high position" to look down upon opponents on the "ground."

This is a forced observation similar to a higher dimension observing a lower one; it is the eagle's first and most basic ability, capable of turning a first-person perspective into a top-down God's-eye view.

However, when used underground, Li En's "vision" would inexplicably crash into dirt.

If used for more than a minute, the vision became unstable, constantly drifting up and down, with no idea where the connection had led.

"That shouldn't be. Your Eagle Eye originates from me; the bloodline and memes are very stable, and your strength seems quite high..."

Red Feather Arrow found it somewhat incomprehensible; logically, Li En's "Eagle Eye" should be very strong.

Even a new recruit of their own clan would have no reason to be unable to stabilize the "perspective"; this is a bloodline instinct. Does one need others to teach them how to use their own "eyes"?

"Could it be that I lack sufficient hardware support? You see, although I borrowed your eyes, I do not have your brain."

The sensory system is never independent; the brain and neural network must provide corresponding support for it to function stably. Li En's guess was highly likely to be true.

Is there a solution? Li En estimated there was; let's try.

"Alright, it actually works. The vision has stabilized..."

Li En sighed. He stopped analyzing the Fireball Spell and used his second thread of thought for "auxiliary observation"; instantly, the vision became clear.

Ultimately, it was a lack of "mental power," so, let's bring in a second brain.

Lord Lord Lord Kuku's own combat power was tragic, but the abilities he developed were indeed extremely useful in every aspect.

"See if we can become a three-headed dragon and split off another thread..." Li En, who originally thought the extra thread of thought was redundant, now found its benefits endless the more he used it.

And unlike other heirs of Lord Lord Lord Kuku, Li En did not need to worry about schizophrenia caused by the extra thread of thought.

It's just that this bloodline advancement requires hunting dragons, which is a bit difficult to handle.

"Found it."

Borrowing the perspective of a "high position (dimension)," Li En adjusted easily, causing the wall to "fade" within his vision, achieving a practical "wall-phasing" effect.

This is the eagle's privilege; no matter what metal or rock structure, it cannot block its eyes. This is actually the main reason the eagle can threaten the owl during the day: as long as the "signature code" is locked on, finding her within a limited area is just a matter of time.

However, at Li En's current level, in this underground ruin filled with divine power, he could only phase through distances of a few dozen meters.

"Locked on. Wait, let me find the route."

Li En used all his threads of thought, calculated with full effort, and then led the way forward without hesitation.

"Bang!"

He crashed headfirst into a wall, smashing out a large pit, which caused laughter from the outside.

Li En sighed and turned again.

Having one vision at eye level and one top-down was bad enough, but they also came with fading and wall-phasing. Although hunting felt like using cheats, sometimes he truly couldn't distinguish where he actually was.

"Bang!"

He hit the west wall, then hit the east wall.

Can't tell, really can't tell.

But if he stopped to lock on, the target would likely disappear completely again in less than a few dozen seconds...

"Uh."

A soft hand stuck to Li En's palm; the masked girl silently expressed her concern and prevented Li En from hitting the wall again. Li En smiled in thanks, while Dai Niya, watching from the outside, had been mocking him fiercely a second ago, and the next second snapped her court feather fan in half.

Those who understood the trade did not say much; they also estimated that Li En was using some special ability to scout and had lost normal sight.

"This way."

This time, Li En ran at full speed. If a deviation occurred, Hela could simply give a light tug to change his direction, avoiding the tragedy of hitting the wall again.

But it seemed the scouting ability had a flaw; right under everyone's gaze, the trio's squad walked into a dead end with walls on three sides.

And Li En himself, who was leading the way, continued to silently look forward, with no intention of turning back.

"Did we go the wrong way?" Hela asked.

"No."
