Chapter 2053 Big loss
Greedy Region Conquest Complete...

Greenland had originally planned to applaud and congratulate them, after all, the cannibal, the Ripper, and the clown had really made her proud. Some of the people from the Rust Gospel hadn't even arrived yet, but their friends from Somador had already broken through and returned in triumph.

However, the ogre looked quite melancholy, sitting on the steps with a blade of grass in his mouth, as if he had missed out on a billion-dollar inheritance.

After questioning him carefully, Greenland sat down next to the ogre, looking equally melancholy.

Damn it, I really missed out on a multi-billion dollar inheritance.

The Feathered Raiders are a rare type of bird-like humanoid monster. Their most distinctive features, besides their clan system, are the leather pouches they carry that function as storage bags. These pouches typically contain a large amount of treasure, making them the largest mobile treasure chests besides those belonging to players who kill others.

However, most of the Feathered Robbers are just Beggars, around LV100. Their leather pouches usually contain ordinary shiny items, most likely ores, less likely gold coins, and very rarely rare items.

Only the leader's leather pouch will increase in value, but even the leader of the Beggars' Sect can only be a beggar, so the probability of finding something good is still very low.

The Looters, who occupy the Greedy Mine, are a long-established criminal family. Their leader is a level 350, and their leather pouches, passed down for thousands of years, contain countless magical treasures.

The result was a self-destruction, blowing everything up. The gang's savings were wiped out, and even the treasure hidden beneath the mine was destroyed.

However, clearing out the Greed Cave wasn't entirely without its rewards. Eliminating this ancient gang that had been entrenched in orc territory for thousands of years and cutting off a large portion of orc bandit groups at their source was ultimately a good thing. A little publicity would also earn them a lot of prestige within the human kingdom.

Besides the Godfather who self-destructed, all the other members of the Kovo family were killed by the three, and they also obtained the loot directly, including the leather pouch of the Feathered One.

Unfortunately, it was just a leather pouch, and there was nothing inside.

"At least we got a storage device, right? Aren't these portable storage devices rare?" Blaze comforted her.

There are many storage items, the most common of which is the storage chest used by strangers. It looks only the size of a small desk, but it can hold a lot of gold coins and all kinds of items.

However, some outsiders enjoy seeing mountains of gold coins and neatly arranged props and equipment, and will specifically seek out a huge space to use as a warehouse.

Compared to common storage chests, storage equipment is quite rare. These space-expanding items are based on spatial magic, and spatial magic generally requires fixed coordinates and cannot be moved at will.

The storage chest is like that; once something is placed inside, even just a single gold coin, it cannot be moved unless the storage chest itself is destroyed.

As for movable storage items, apart from the very common gold coin bags that can only hold currency, they are quite rare, involving rather advanced spatial magic or even more mysterious aspects.

Blaze's bag, for example, was made using the fur of the ewe Almatia and, most importantly, Athena's craftsmanship. The bag's near-infinite storage capacity largely stemmed from Athena's skills, which were beyond human comprehension.

The leather pouches of the Feathered Crest Beasts are a result of biological evolution, falling into the category of principles that humans can understand but are difficult to replicate. The Kovo family had a total of 12 high-level Feathered Crest Beasts, 11 of whom died at the hands of the Ogre, the Ripper, and the Terrifying Clown, losing a total of 9 leather pouches. This was just enough to give one to each member of the Somador clan, which was quite fortunate.

Most outsiders would never complain about having too much storage space, so they are naturally very interested in monsters like the Feathered Hunter who can drop storage bags.

However, these extremely clever monsters usually choose to perish together with their prey, destroying their own leather pouch at the last moment. This means that to obtain the leather pouch, one must kill it instantly.

However, these bird-like humanoid monsters, the Hidden Feather Crescents, are extremely sensitive to danger. Anyone capable of instantly killing a Hidden Feather Crescent will flee before even getting close.

So getting 9 leather pouches is extremely lucky, just in time for the arrogant Kovo family, who have extremely high levels, to run into an ogre with an instant-kill skill after transformation.

"In short, the Greedy Cave has been conquered... or so I'd say, but it's probably not that simple." The forger crossed his arms, ready to pour cold water on the idea.

He pointed to a cylindrical device placed on the huge sandbox map. What was really amazing about this device was that it had eight serpentine dragons lying on the outside, each dragon holding a sphere in its mouth, and directly below the sphere was a toad with its mouth open.

"This is a seismograph I made. If the doomsday bomb explodes at the very bottom of the Greedy Cave, it should cause a fairly large earthquake."

"But as you can see, there is no response."

"...Jasmine didn't detect the doomsday bomb explosion signal either, but she did detect the activation signal, though it's nowhere to be found now." Blaze pressed the goggles of the [Eye of Athena], confirming the forger's statement.

"Damn it, we were just fooled!?" The ogre suddenly stood up, even more regretful.

He should have stood there and perished together with Godfather Corragio, making sure he was completely dead.

“If you were there, it would definitely have taken us all down with it, and that would have been a huge price to pay,” the Ripper said, patting the ogre on the shoulder.

Godfather Corrajo didn't just put the doomsday bomb in the leather bag to prevent the self-destruct mechanism from being stolen. The explosion that occurred in the leather bag would be considered an attack by Godfather Corrajo, the Feathered Raider. And Feathered Raiders can take items from a player's inventory when they kill a player.

The higher the level of the Feathered Raider, the more items it can drop. The LV350 Feathered Raider is undoubtedly the highest level and can drop everything in the player's inventory.

The apocalyptic battle isn't a single burst, but a continuous series of attacks. A single burst would instantly kill all three of them, causing them to drop all their belongings. The subsequent continuous radiation would destroy everything they dropped, which would come at a huge cost.

"But wouldn't it be more troublesome to keep Godfather Corrajo alive? These kinds of bird monsters are very vengeful."

"No, I think it's dead."
