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 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.
